the reason that propelled me to run. >> i'm a committed conservative a reformer. and get to share the record each and every day. i'm going to do it with joy in my heart. >> leadership is not about power, not about position title or living at 1600 pennsylvania vaev avenue. the highest calling is to unlock potential in others and we need a leader who will unlock the pelsh of this great nation. >> some in our party say let's dilute the message. let's become democrat-like and we'll get more votes. i couldn't disagree more. i think what we need to do is be boldly for what we are for. >> i'm not asking you to simply join my campaign. i'm asking you to join a cause. if you're looking for a candidate who will politely

manage america's descent into mead octry. i'm not your man. if you are chasing a dream looking for a land where the people are free. and the opportunities are real i am asking you to believe. >> we took the power away from the big government special interests and we put it firmly in the hands of the hard working taxpayers. that's what we need more of in this great can't. >> there are four thing yz can really promise you. promise you. it will be under my control if i become president of the united statesment he see what they are, you will never have to wonder what i'm thinking feeling. you're never going to have to wonder what i'm willing to fight for and how hard i'll fight. >> there is nothing wrong in america that cannot be fixed with the right leadership. we need leadership that repairs the breach in america.

>> i'm running for president because i believe that we need the kind of leadership that can help us get there. if i didn't think i could provide it i'd simply step aside and point you to somebody else. i believe i've had a unique preparation to come and ask you to let me be your president. >> show me the candidates that stand up and list chapter and verse this program, that program, this program, that program. everyone of whom have lobbyists, and i guarantee you the lobbyists ain't cutting checks to me. >> if i get aelected president, i will bring it back. bigger and better and stronger than ever before. we will make america great again. >> on this show we have talked to just about every gop

candidate. for the next hour we'll show you highlights from the interviews. we'll start with some of the gop candidates explaining to you, the american people why they want to be the next president of the united states. >> we need a leader who will stand up and tell the truth. and who will lead on the issues of the day. whether it's obamacare, debt or defending religious liberty or the second amendment or standing up for life or marriage or for israel. standing up against iran acquiring nuclear weapons. we need leaders who stand and lead. and that's why i've endeavored to do in my time in the senate. and my commitment is in this race in 2016 that's what i'm going to do going forward. >> i think so often we get people who are elected and spend decade after decade up there. they lose touch with the people. nothing changes. we elect republicans and say, we want republicans to balance the budget then republicans do the same thing the democrats do. i ran for office other thanriginally

on the tea party party ticket because we were upset with the republicans. i still think now that republicans are in charge of congress we need to stand for something. >> we have to continue to keep the flame alive. we're headed in the wrong dekz because we have leaders trapped in the past. we have to have a globally competitive economy. we have to help our children and young people acquire the skills they need to skeed. we need a strong america on the global stage. one that's strong. we do those three things we'll have another american century. >> our best days are in front of us. we're a few good decisions and a leadership change at the top from the best days of america. i know how to do that because we've put that process into place in the 12th largest economy in the world. to build economically this

country back up and build american spirit back up this is the united states. we can do this h done it before and our best days are ahead of us. >> it would be the most extraordinarily time to be alive. we should be the world's superpower and the leader in the world as it relates to foreign policy. we're not right now. if we change directions our children and grandchildren will have opportunities of abundance. >> the reason that i want to be president is i want to make america great again. it's simple. that's my whole theme and concept. we have tremendous potential. the world is ripping us off. china is taking our jobs, money, manufacturing. they're then loaning the money back to us and we pay them interest. that wouldn't happen with me. mexico is a disaster people are flowing through. japan, everybody, we're a laughing stock. that wouldn't happen under president trump. >> when i was a little girl my mother said to me what you are is god's gift to you.

what you make of yourself is your gift to god. i have learned in my life that everyone has god given gifts. everyone has potential. we need a leader in the oval office that understands their highest calling is to unlock the potential of every american. i can win this job and i can do this job. >> america is at a time of great anxiety because no one is willing to tell the truth and say that our retirement system is bankrupting us. our tax system is killing the economy. our foreign policy is leading to a more dangerous world and our education system will lead us to be a second rate power. i worked in the toughest place a republican can work in america, california. when i go to the white house we'll change the country and make the world better and safer place. >> if you want someone that's going to manage the descent of america into mead ocry i'm not your candidate. if you want someone that's running for office to do

something, if you want somebody that's going to make bold changes and grow our private sector economy rebuild our defenses. get back to a place where our friends trust us. if you want somebody that understands america is about growth not envy if you understand we've got to stop this march towards government dependence and socialism. if you want to rescue the american dream from becoming the european nightmare. i invite you to join my cause. >> we're going to go out and work for men and women and give them the ability to rise and provide for themselves and their families. we're also going to have a president who has the experience to be a commander in chief on day one. i was told by senior israeli officials that the next president is probably going to be a president who is going to be serving during wartime. we want somebody with experience who can handlethal problems from day one. i will be that president. >> i think people want to see someone who can transfer power from washington to the hands of the hard working taxpayers across the country. someone who can stand up and help grow the economy in a way

that makes sure everyone can live their piece of the american dream. and someone who is going to protect our children from radical islamic terrorism. if you want someone who can fight and win for the hard working people of the country i'm your guy. >> it's record it's experience. it's the testing. and you know serving on the defense committee for 18 years, being budget committee chairman being one of the chief architects of balancing the budget and restoring prosperity of the anti-country and being governor of a state that was in trouble that we've been able to rescue. and knowledge to be able to lift people. that's what it is to have a stronger economy, create more job and make sure no one gets left behind. no one. >> coming up on the special edition of "hannity," the road to 2016. we'll show you how the gop presidential candidates plan to turn around this terrible economy. that's straight ahead.

good evening live from america's news headquarter i'm jackie ibanez. the coast guard has suspended the search for two florida boys lost at sea. they've been missing for a week now. the coast guard shut down its efforts at sundown. their capsized boat was found two days later. the family says they're experienced boaters and will continue their private search. wwe legend rowdy roddy piper has died. he's known for his appearances in wrestlemania where he teamed up with mr. wonderful to take on hulk hogan and mr. t.

the wrestler spent time acting. roddy piper died after suffering a heart attack in his home. he was 61 years old. now back to> welcome back to the special edition of "hannity," the road to 2016. the next president faces a lot of challenges, including fixing the economy. here's how some of the gop presidential candidates plan to turn that around. >> bottom line is there are two sectors of the economy, the public sector the non-productive sector and the private sector which is the engine that creates jobs. leave more money in the private sector. you have to reduce taxes. ronald reagan said we'll dramatically cut tax rates. more revenue came in. the last couple of republicans we have put forward i couldn't

tell you what we for. i think we were for revenue neutral tax reform. in washington that's what pass said for bold. half of you are going to pay more taxes and half are going to pay less. the net result to the economy is zero. you help poverty and job creation by leaving more money with the people. >> i've been through this before in 2003 texas had a $10 billion shortfall. in 2011 we had $25 billion budget shortfall. i understand the pain of cutting. but if we're going to get this country back on track, we're going to have to have someone that's honest with americans. we're going to have to cut spending we're going to have to make changes in the entitlement programs. we can do this. you send that message and americans will have faith again that they can risk their capital and expand and grow the economy. >> when it comes to reform the fundamental essence is i want to take power out of washington and send it back to states and local

communities. education, we would be far better off, i held a dollar up and said where would you spend this in washington our your which i would's school child's school. we need the powers back in the state and local level. when i think of growth it's about reining in regulations, using the abundance of all the energy supplies we have to fuel our nation's economic recovery. helping to get the educational skills they need to receive. and lowering the tax code. those are things that will help us grow. >> 80 million baby boomers will retire in the next few years. that's going to make us greece. when 80 million offer us retire in the next 20 to 25 years we'll wipe out medicare and social security. all the revenue collected by 2042 will go to pay the medical

bills. >> stop spending so much money. >> you can't do it with that. young people got to work longer or we're going to destroy this country. you'll have to do what reagan did all over again. >> the war on poverty has not been helpful. with the trillions and trillions of dollars that are being spent. i don't want to spend a lot of time demonizing someone who did it. they may have had good intentions. it's clear it hasn't worked. we should be talking about what do we do to get people to move up and out of dependency? i think what we have to do is recognize that it's relationships rather than throwing money that works. there are many examples around the country of programs that generally are started by the private sector. and business industry academia wall street churches community groups who get involved with their fellow human beings. and those are the things that actually get people out of

poverty. >> historically in this country, we've averaged 3.3% growth a year. since world war ii. there have only been two four year periods where growth has averaged less than 1% a year. 1978 to 1982. that was coming out of jimmy carter. same failed policies. 2008 to 2012 where gdp averaged .9% a year. if we can get back to historic levels of growth the federal budget picture transforms. suddenly wooe have revenue to support our troops, suddenly it becomes possible to step in and preserve and reform social security and medicare. >> it begins by having a vibrant economy that allows us to be competitive. we're reforming the tax code lowering regulations, repealing and replacing obamacare. these are the key -- by fully

utilizing our energy resources. if we did these things we would have massive economic growth. we have to equip people with the skills they need for better paying jobs that that economy will create. we stop graduating for high school ready to go to work. we start graduating pop ready to go to work. we're graduating people from college with a bunch of loans and unable to find a job. >> governments should grow no faster than people's ability to pay for t. family income should be the highest priority for the next president. it's why i'm advocating creating a strategy to achieve 4% growth. if we grow at 2%, the demands will overwhelm us. the middle will continue to be squeezed. the great challenge for our country is to become young again. the lessons of florida could be

applied to washington, d.c. >> it's a question of incentives. we have to create incentives. we have to restructure our tax system so people can redo tax systems. we have to change -- we have a massive change coming on. this country cannot sustain itself. you know that we are right now the highest taxed nation in the world. and you could actually say by far. we spend more money because of common core and washington. we spend more money on education than any country in the world. and yet we're 26th. 25 countries that spend far less -- some of them spend 10% of what we spend and less. these are better in terms of education than us. there are so many things that you can cut. there is so many things. >> the most important thing that we need to do to grow this economy is to get the real engine of economic growth going

again. that's small and family owned and new businesses. small family owned new businesses have always created 2/3 of the jobs in this country. they employ half the people. i started out as a secretary in a nine person real estate firm. my husband started out as a tow truck driver. it's how most americans get their start. what we're doing is we're destroying more of those businesses than we're creating. this bloated complicated government that has been created over decades by a political class, guess what onlythal big, powerful wealth and well-connected can deal with that big government it's called crony capitalism. >> you create opportunity in the country. we have an opportunity inequality problem. that's what we need to solve. the first thing is we've got to simplify the tax system. we got to get rid of all the special interest deduction.

bring rates down to 28% top rate where reagan was. bring the lowest rate down to single digits. you'll get people revitalized. bring the business tax rate down. bring it down to 25% and repateerate the $2 billion. >> this is why it's so critical. we need big change in d.c. i agree with you, my concern is we not make this the new normal. four more years of this president's policies where it's about redistribution and class envy and government independence then you have a whole generation of americans who thinks we can't grow the economy. the last quarter was negative. they call 2% growth a recovery. nonsense. that's not a recovery. we need a stronger economy recovery where we tell folks -- the american dream is not that we're going to take care of you. we'll give you equal opportunity. you had the chance to work hard get an education and do great things for yourself and your kids. >> what about a penny plan? i like it. >> it's great target. you can't just say we'll cut

everything by 1%. some things you want to increase other things you want to get rid of. defense, i believe we need a stronger defense budget. i think we need to increase the defense budget. the transportation department state department there's a lot of departments that are agriculture department have exploded. we can get rid of a lot of programs in those areas. you throw on top of that the key, entitlement reform. when i was in in the united states senate i fought for social security reform. >> this sense -- there's a lot of dead wood in washington. we know that. there are programs that can go. i used to say the commerce department, some of its functions are valuable. it ought to be closed down because it's an addict for political junkies. somebody goes to worth on a campaign, their kid goes to the commerce department. you don't have to slash, you have to innovate. you have to make things work better at a lower price.

and frankly, a lot of those programs need to be shipped out of that town. >> when we come back on the special edition of "hannity," the road to 2016. the country faces a number of challenges overseas, including deal ing with isis russia china, iran. up next we'll show you how the gop candidates plan to tackle these issues if they are elected the next commander in chief. that's straight ahead. are you still getting heartburn flare-ups? time for a new routine. try nexium® 24hr. the latest choice for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. nexium level protection. i'm not sick. i'm not sick. i'm not sick. she's perfectly healthy. cigna covers preventive care. that's having your back.

greatest geopolitical disaster of modern times the dissolution of the soviet union. he's trying to reassemble it as much as possible. putin only understands strength. nobody wants to see a war between united states and russia. but there are things we can be doing. we should be standing with ukraine. and arming ukraine right now so the ukrainians can defend themselves. we should honor our treaty commitments. we should have when putin invaded crimea we should have gone forward and installed the anti-ballistic missile batteries that had been scheduled to go in effect that obama canceled in 2009. third, we should immediately clear for export liquid natural gas, putin uses energy as its tool of economic blackmail. it produce jobs here at home and weaken russia and empower our

friends. >> the neocons don't want to negotiate with anybody. they want war. i want negotiations from a position of strength. i'm a reagan republican. he believed in peace through strength and talked to the russians. do you know what reagan did? many of these neocons criticize reagan for talking to the russians. realize the loud sort of i think juvenile voices putting pictures on bombs on calves these are the people who are so reckless it would be gravely dangerous to our country to have these people in charge of your country. >> what would a rubio doctrine be? >> tha vacuum is filled by chaos. we need to be involved in the asia pacific region. to blunt some of the aggression you see from russia on china on their territorial claims.

in the western europe we need to reinvigorate nato. stop putin's efforts to relitigate the end of the cold war. >> it took an incredible apparatus to build the structure, to murder people one at a time or several hundred at a time 10,000 a day in auschwitz. with one nuclear device, several million people could be murdered and killed. i think we underestimate the radical nature of these animals who run iran. >> what is wrong with obama, i get them i don't get obama. >> we saw chamberlain before and it took a churchill to help get us out. whents that speech was mad, after it churchill said there was a choice between war and dishonor and they chose dishonor. there's another choice other than war. i don't believe that's the only choice we have. anything is better than allowing these terrorists to have nuclear capacity. >> it's kind of bizarre, to be

honest with you, to create moral equivalents between our faith and the hijacking of islam in the form of these radical terrorists. and call it for what it is. if you call it for what it is. create a strategy to take it out. we don't have strategy as it relates to isis. we are reacting to events on the ground and little by little doing things some of which are good. there have been some successes in using drones to take out terrorists. i'm all for that. we need a strategy to tighten the noose around them. we need to do it not just unilaterally we need to do it with the nations of the neighborhood. >> first of all, we stand up next to benjamin netanyahu and tell everyone we have no better friend in the middle east or in the world than netanyahu and israel. and we have to say that publicly and repeatedly to repair the damage that this president has done. think about this this president won't stand up to assad but

stands up to netanyahu. it's an embarrassment. we need an america that does two things makes our friends know we'll stand by them no matter what and lets our adversaries no there are consequences. >> as president, i would pull back and terminate the bad deal with iran completely on day one y. would put in place crippling economic sanctions and convince our allies that this is not a country we should be doing business with. >> have you been able to decode the president's inability to say radical islamic. >> this is indeed islamic terrorist. terrorism. we need to recognize that. and you know in iraq it's a good example. it's not just isis and islamic state. the iran backed shiite militias that are in there are many

similar problems we've seen. the president still even to last year his administration was calling yemen a success story. the houthis are connected to out there. yemen with the houthis, that's not a place we should be doing business with. we need to identify the enemy, inenemy is radical islamic terrorism. >> isis is a caliphate. and the only way to defeat a caliphate, is to take the territory away from them. there's no other way. if you look at the history of islam. islam continued to expand and attract people as -- once the west began to push it back and collapse it it collapsed. it collapsed completely. >> can you do that without sending american troops on the ground? >> no, i've been clear that we need to have more troops on the ground.

>> they need to be the ones fighting? >> you know i would leave that -- i'm not in a position sitting outside of the government to have a good understanding of that i would -- what i would say is if that is necessary, in order to take back this land and iraq first and then syria, the answer is that we would put the sufficient troops there to make sure that happens. coming up on the special edition of "hannity," the road to 2016. hillary clinton appears to be the favorite to win the democratic nomination for president. up next the gop presidential candidates will reveal how they plan to beat the former secretary of state. that as we continue. ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company

it looks like hillary clinton will be the next democratic nominee for president. here's how some of the republican candidates plan to defeat hillary clinton. >> i've known hillary a long time. when i got engaged to be married she came to the party. i mean i don't hate people because i don't agree with them. >> can you call her and ask her to come on my show? >> i'm not sure she's going to take my call these days. here's the thing, i believe she does things in small ways very segmented ways. appeal to this group, that group. i think it's a big message. i think it's an overwhelming message that overwhelmed the cutouts she has. if people want to get into it on little issues i think she'll beat them. >> i would point out not only has she taken money from governments with atrothsing human rights. she took human rights off the

tail of discussions with china. even though she made a billg show in china. when she was in a position to pursue that conversation with china as secretary of state. she took it off the table. >> the clintons believe they're above the law. that for the rest of us, the common people we have to obey the law. the clintons they get to do whatever they want. >> you once called bill clinton a sexual predator. >> you know i still think that the left really hasn't come to grips with the fact that workplace violence and your boss taking care of -- advantage of a 22-year-old girl that should be the moral -- disapproval of that. the shunning for someone like that. for him to still be accepted i think, is -- shows a bad side of our culture that we would accept that as being okay. >> i beat the clinton machine. i beat the clinton machine in 1994. i beat the senator who carried

hillary care in the united states senate. i had bill and hillary in my state. they managed the campaign against me back in 1994. and i beat them. >> i haven't bought into that's the anointed one. i think they'll go through a process. hopefully they will and have a good conversation about whose vision in the best for this country. you're going to go back and look at record. and it gets a little tawdry from time to time when you look at the secretary and particularly this issue with benghazi. the lack of transparencyerse i think is what's going to bother a lot aof americans, whether democrats or republicans and certainly independents as well. the lack of transparency when it comes to the whole server issue, the lack of transparency when it comes to the clinton foundation. >> you listen to her talk. she has embraced the progressive agenda. she believes that she's already starting the rhetoric of dividing the country rather than lifting our spirits.

she doesn't talk about the kind of economic growth that would create meaningful income rises for the middle. she talks about more government programs. her -- she's a formidable candidate. and she is going to be tough. no question about it. but the simple fact is, that we need a dramatic change if we're going to grow economically where people can have disposable incomes to decide what they want to do. >> it's going to be a third obama term. i laugh when i hear her say fairness. she's gone fair to the left because she doesn't want other people to come in. she has enough problems with sanders. but she's really going left. but i don't think that will be the end case. i think she's going to start going a little bit more once she looks like she's going to get the nomination. hard to believe in one sense because i really think hey,fer

that were any republican with the e-mails, where you delete after getting a espna. you get a subpoena from the united states congress and you delete everything i think it's called jailtime. >> they're raising money for their foundation. you're going to have to answer questions about the people who gave you money. and whether those donations were intended to influence policymaking. the point you make is a good one, if you look at what the goals of the foundation was and what are the goals of our foreign policy should be in terms of always defending human rights. you look at where the money is coming from. these are places where women aren't allowed to drive. >> and saudi arabia would be one of them. nor can they be seen in public with a man they're not related to. she took tens of millions of dollars. russian reset, and crimea in the ukraine. after the killing of bin laden

she said his idealogy of hatred is being rejected in the middle east. that's being wrong on two very significant issues. >> our relations with russia have beten reset. >> in the end she'll be the nominee. i think it's a great contest. i think voters overwhelmingly historically if they get a chance to choose between someone new versus someone from the past. they'll choose someone new and fresh. she embodies washington. embodies what people expect from people in washington. what do the candidates think of each other? i asked those tough questions. you don't want to miss their revealing answers. that's straight ahead.
