we will be live in sacramento with these extraordinary young men who will make you proud to live in a usa. it happens this friday 9:00 p.m. september 11th. don't miss it. welcome to "hannity." tonight prominent conservatives stage a massive rally a in our nation's capital to try to stop the president's disastrous nuclear deal with iran. 2016 presidential candidate donald trump and senator ted cruz spoke at the event earlier today. they will be here tonight with reaction. first, here's how it all went down. >> this iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic. it is the single greatest national security threat facing america. >> never ever ever in my life have i seen any transaction so incompetently negotiated as our

deal with iran. >> this deal sows the seeds of war. the enemy is emboldened and the enemy will be well-armed and seek regional and world domination. how do we know? they told us so. death to you, we're going to kill you. that's the last bunch you want to have nuclear weapons. >> under no circumstances will iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. >> they will not let israel survive with incompetent leadership like we have right now. stop this deal! >> presidential candidates donald trump senator ted cruz will be here in just a few minutes. joining us now is an iraq war hero veteran who is getting a lot of attention for his response to a tweet from john kerry's senior adviser marie harf. remember her? she was a jobs for jihadists person.

after she tweeted, 21 senators support oh, yeah, i was blown up by an iranian ied. and i oppose this deal. ja salzman is with us. jr, thanks for being with us. explain the extent of your injuries. >> december 19th, 2006, i was leading a convoy through baghdad when my humvee was struck by a roadside bomb. the road-side bomb was an efp, explosively formed penetrator. it's a very specific type of ied that iran was using in and around baghdad and all over iraq to kill coalition troops. >> the extent of your injuries, you lost limbs and now you're in a position that we're about to give the iranians $150 billion, they spend their centrifuges, breakout time of zero and 11 years. they get to build icbms, conventional weapons and a missile defense program. what did we get?

is there anything you see we've gotten in the deal. >> i don't understand what we got out of the deal. i do know at least this administration and a lot of politicians who are voting for this deal are not listening to those of us who had to face these iranian bombs and iranian troops that were operating in and around iraq and afghanistan. so again, our politicians are obviously would be the worst used car salesmen in history as evidenced by this deal. because i don't see what we're getting out of it. >> nothing. the answer is nothing. j.r., you're in our prayers. you're an american hero. thank you for being with us, sir. >> thank you. here now with reaction 2016 gop candidate donald trump is with us. mr. trump, good to see you, sir. >> hello. >> you know, you talk a lot about bad deals. $150 billion, 24 days inspections, they even pick their own inspectors. they get to build missiles conventional weapons. is there one thing in this deal, just one you can identify that we get out of it?

>> sean, there's nothing i can see. there's no reason for it. i love the idea of a deal. i think it's a great thing to have a great deal. but it's got to be a great deal or at least a good deal. i don't see anything that we get even the ones that were working with us on sanctions, the countries, they're going to sell now missiles. if you look at russia and some of the other countries throughout the world, they're going to make a lot of money dealing with iran. they're selling them missiles they're selling them all sorts of things. probably some of them are selling nuclear expertise. but we're giving them $150 billion plus, plus, plus. i just don't see it. we don't get our prisoners back. it's nothing. you know, there is one clause that even you don't talk about very much that nobody really understands. if israel is forced to attack iran, we have to, as you probably see by the reading of the agreement, we have to protect iran from israel. and nobody's been able to explain this one. but -- it's something that even

you don't talk about, sean. which is surprising for you. i think you have to add that. >> i'll add that. >> i think we're supposed -- which, by the way -- >> we cannot do that. morally that is impossible. >> no, we're not going to do that. the way the agreement reads, we're supposed to do that. can you believe it? >> i can't. you know, here's a question i have about dealmaking. because we now know they even said today within 25 years israel will be gone. the supreme leader and talked about sending radical jihadist armies right here to great satan, america. during this deal, they said the destruction of israel is non-negotiable. they were chanting, the supreme leader chanting death to america. here chanting death to america. you can listen. [ speaking in a foreign language ]

>> so here''s chanting during these negotiations death to america. the destruction of israel is non-negotiable. as recently as september 2nd, they're burning our flag, the israeli flag. my question, would you even sit down with these people? shouldn't it be a prerequisite they recognize israel, stop chanting death to america before we talk with them? >> sean, i just was in washington. i literally just got back. i'm sitting in front of you. i haven't even looked at a mirror. i hope i'm okay. >> you look fine. >> we had an amazing crowd down in washington at the capitol, in front of the capitol. we had thousands people. you probably covered it in some form. the people can't even believe

it. now he is saying that israel won't even be here in 25 years, which is a horrible threat. and he probably means shorter periods of time than that. he also said we'll never have anything to do with the united states in that same speech. he said we'll have nothing more to do with the united states after this deal is done, which is the nuclear rip-off. it's inconceivable to me that a person can speak that way and we go back. that's like if i'm doing a deal with somebody and i hear them saying trump is terrible. you walk away. you take a walk. what he has been saying, and this isn't the first time, you also had their top general say something which was even worse. because he wants israel gone immediately. so when they make these statements and here we are obama and kerry going out and looking to get an agreement signed, and you see what's happening where they're doing something with certain countries like saudi arabia, this was a -- you can't even discuss this deal with them. all of a sudden they signed on to the deal. you know they were given a

fortune of protection and missiles and all sorts of things. so what they're doing is they're going around and paying off all of these countries to sign on to the deal. it's just unbelievable. i think it's the worst document i've ever seen as far as negotiation is concerned. >> well, let me ask you this. mr. trump, there are conservatives in the house. ted cruz is going to join news a few minutes. we'll ask him about this, that are saying that by not disclosing the secret side deals with the iaea, the president does not have the authority to implement this iranian deal and that john boehner and mitch mcconnell can stop the deal by saying the clock hasn't started as it relates to the corker carden bill. do you agree with that assessment? >> well, i've heard that. and, you know, the lawyers are going to have to tell us whether or not that's true. i was with ted cruz today. he's a terrific day. he was out there making speeches. i'm out there making speeches. the problem with making speeches we have 70% of the american people on our side but the

politicians in washington -- are not -- just not listening. it's hard to believe. hard to believe what's happening with this deal, it is unconceivable that it's going forward. inconceivable. i mentioned -- i always use it as a good point. 24 days is a ridiculous thing. by the way, before you get to the 24 days, sean, it takes a lot of time to get there. in other words, they will request to go on, and it could take a lot longer than 24 days. >> they pick the inspectors. it's not like they're american inspectors. they pick the inspectors. >> yeah. >> the inmates are running the asylum. >> well, that's the new thing that also came up two weeks ago with the inspectors. now they're allowed to do their own inspections of the most important places. one of the things i mentioned is the four prisoners that we have. you have a writer, journalist, a wonderful military person. you have a minister, a fantastic man who has been there for a long period of time. we haven't even asked them for these people. think of it, we haven't asked them.

then we're fighting them in yemen. they're backing, as you know, assad in syria. and we don't even do -- we're fighting on the other side. it's like what are we doing? >> right. >> and they don't want to mention anything outside, and they're getting all of this money. think of the prisoners. we have four people over there we don't even mention them. all you have to do in my opinion, if it's the right message, say we want our four prisoners back. that should have taken place two years ago, not now. it's the most incredibly -- >> yeah, and the iranian-backed rebels took more hostages in yemen, the houthis this weekend. >> true. that's true u. >> we'll have more after the break. more with donald trump. we'll respond to criticism from some of his republican rivals, and his call on cnn. we'll explain. then later tonight -- >> this iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic. it is the single greatest national security threat facing america. >> i agree with that and more.

it's worse than munich 1938. texas senator head cruz also spoke at today's rally to stop the nuclear deal in d.c. he'll join us later. why hillary clinton's apology for her private server doesn't mean much. i'll explain as we continue.

live from america's news headquarters, i'm will carr. the u.s. will allow 5,000 more migrants into the country next year. secretary of state john kerry telling congress next year's quota will increase to 75,000. the decision comes as tens of thousands of refugees stream into europe. presidential hopeful donald trump insulting the looks of rival carly fiorina. in rolling stone, trump said,

quote, look at this face. would anyone vote for that? fiorina dismissed his remarkings saying maybe she is getting under his skin because she is climbing in the polls. a brushfire burning close to homes in san jose, california. firefighters say they're getting the upper hand on the flames. so far there is no word of injuries or damage to homes or building. i'm will carr. now let's get you back to "hannity." welcome back to "hannity." donald trump continues to surge in the race for the white house. a new poll by survey usa has donald trump beating hillary clinton 45% to 40%. in a head to head matchup. and naturally, trump's position at the top of the polls has led to some attacks from some of his gop rivals. take a look. >> donald trump's not going to get elected president by disparaging people, by attacking people all the time. that's not how you win.

you lift people's spirits up to be president of the united states. this whole approach of say ing someone's an idiot, someone is low energy. >> it sounds really cool. let's just round them all up and send them back. people who say that have no idea what that would entail in terms of our legal system, the cost. forget about it. and, plus, where are you going to send them? you know, that's a double whammy. >> we continue with 2016 presidential candidate donald trump. i want you to respond to that -- if you want to respond to bush you can. the last comment by ben carson. we now know that our state department and our president is thinking of bringing in refugees from syria and iraq that have been displaced that are going through europe. now, do we know many of them are muslims coming from muslim countries? i'm sure many of them are very good people. do you think some radicals might be mixed in with them? is that a fear we should take seriously? >> it could very well be. and, frankly, you have isis. if you look at a lot of the

people i've been watching on television, it's men. there aren't that many women relatively speaking. it's a horrible thing in terms of humanity and everything. >> 400,000 men. >> we have a lot of problems in our country. sean we have a lot of problems in our country. we have to straighten out our own problems. as far as that's concerned, you know, i heard about the border, i heard about the wall. well, the wall does work. especially if somebody like me does it, because i know how to do walls. the wall absolutely does work. my immigration policy and my immigration plan has really been well-received. we have to get people into this country legally. we can't have -- when i first announced for president, people really criticized. now they've all apologized. they said what i said about illegal immigrants was correct so, you know, when people say oh, the plan, and it doesn't work, these interest same people that have let this whole situation go to hell to start off with. my plan does work and the wall works. people will see that and it

won't take long to do. believe me. people with knowledge know my plan work. >> a poll that came out says 59% of americans agree with your policy on immigration. are you saying absolutely people from syria, the middle east, 400,000 men, those are men we don't know what the backgrounds are, where their hearts are, w o this country or any aid we offer should be financial only? >> look, from a humanitarian standpoint, i'd love to help. but we have our own problems. we have so many problems that we have to solve. you have over there the gulf states. tremendously wealthy. you have five groups of people, six groups, they're not taking anybody. saudi arabia, quatar bahrain, these are tremendously wealthy and powerful from thstandpoint of money. they're not taking anybody. russia's not taking. nobody is taking. we're supposed to take? we have to straighten out our own problems. we have millions of people potentially. if obama would have gone across

the line he drew, the artificial line in the sand he drew, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. >> let me ask you about this letter that you sent jeff zucker over at cnn, that his rates will go up because of the next debate to $200,000, either a 30 or 60-minute ad. you said to donate it to charity. have you been heard from him? >> have i not heard back from him. i don't want to donate it to charity. i want to give to it the veterans. i want to give it to lots of different veterans groups. they're rates are going from $4,000 to $250,000 an ad. i hate to say because of me. because the numbers were always very low for the debates. nobody watched the debates. it was a poorly rated thing. i hate to tell that to you. but you know that. fox had 24 million people watching. and now looking at cnn, it could be 30 million people. >> the highest rated debate in the 2012 cycle here at 6.5 million. i don't think there's anyone disputing that. let me ask you a final question. you see everything that's unfolding with hillary clinton and her server.

she gave an apology, although she admitted no wrong doing nothing was improper she says. do you think you had said you think joe biden is more likely to win the nomination for the democrats at this point. what do you see as problematic for her. do you think it's more legal than political in terms of her problems? >> i think it's more legal. i think she's going to have a hard time getting to the starting gate. she's been hurt very badly in the polls. i've been beating her in -- even states that normally democrats would win i've been beating her. it's going to be very interesting to see what happens. she's dropping like a rock. i think she's got a bigger problem. i think she's got major legal problem. if you look at general petraeus for doing one fifth of what she's done. i mean, really even less than that. they destroyed his life. they ruined his life. you saw what happened to him. and for some reason she seems to be skirting by. we'll see whether or not she's able. i think she'll have a hard time getting to the starting gate frankly. if it's biden, it's biden. it would be fine.

>> it was nice to see you and ted cruz together today. this is the worst day since munich 1938. glad you were out there. thank you so much for being with us, mr. trump. >> i think it's the worst contract i've ever seen negotiated. it's the most one sided deal and a disgrace and we shouldn't have to take it as people from the united states, we should not have to take this. >> i agree with you. only 21% of americans like it and yet congress is going forward. mr. trump, thanks for being with us. when we come back right here on "hannity." >> if you vote to send billions of dollars to jihadists who have pledged to murder america, then you bear direct responsibility for the murders carried out with the dollars you have given them. >> texas senator ted cruz was also a part of the rally in d.c. today. he will join us next to explain why the iran nuclear deal is so dangerous. and later, hillary clinton finally apologizes for her private server scandal. but was it sincere?

clinton hasn't sounded sorry in the past few months. we'll remind you of the things she said. we'll check in with geraldo rivera on the show straight ahead. olax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief. that can take up to 3 days. now that's a full weekend. ♪ join in and guess the five stops they made by tweeting #altimaweekendcontest for a chance to win your own weekend adventure! car radio: with our monday morning traffic report...

sent funerals. they get conventional arms. what do we get? did we get anything you can mention? >> the only thing that we got out of this deal was president obama got what he considers to be a domestic political victory. his deputy national security advisor at the beginning of his second term described the iranian nuclear deal as the obamacare of the second term. i think he meant that as a complicate. this deal is catastrophic. as you rightly noted, if the deal goes through, it will make the obama administration quite literally the world's leading financier of islamic terrorism. you know, today i spoke on the flat floor at the rally outside. i said you need to be prepared to look in the eyes of the mothers and fathers of our soldiers who were murdered by iranian ied's in iraq.

hundreds of soldiers blown up by general suleimani. even more fundamentally, those democratic senators need to be prepared to look in the eyes of mothers and fathers and sons and daughters of the hundreds if not thousands of americans and israelis that will be murdered by hamas, by hezbollah, by the houthis, by radical islamic terrorists who will receive billions from this deal. osama bin laden never had $100 billion. the ayatollah khomeini hates us every bit as much. has stated his intention to murder us just as viciously and the difference is this deal will give him over $100 billion to carry that out. if iran acquires nuclear weapons. one emp, one electromagnetic pulse over the atlantic seaboard from one weapon could kill tens

of millions of americans. it's the biggest security threat facing america. >> what can you do? we went through this entire deal where i thought it was a bad idea from the start. that was bob corker's bill where they basically took away -- you have a constitutional authority. two-thirds majority, or a treaty. the president wasn't going to declare this a treaty. what are you going to do in the senate to stop this, if anything at this point? >> really, there are two important things we can do. you're right. this should have been treated as a treaty. i fought hard against corker carden when it was coming up. i introduced legislation, an amendment to require the approval of congress, and its republican leadership who killed that and pushed through this toothless deal. but there are two things that we can do, sean. number one, the most important right now is there are two people in washington, d.c. who can stop this deal and their names are mitch mcconnell and john boehner. under the terms of corker card den, it is very weak and toothless, the iranian reviewed legislation. but the one tooth it has is it

says it requires obama to hand over the entire deal, and it defines that as any side deal. now, the obama administration hasn't done that. they haven't handed over the side deals with the iaea, the inspection deals that set up the farcically weak inspection where iran essentially inspects itself. under the terms of that legislation, then, what mcconnell and boehner should do is say obama has not followed federal law. he has not submitted the deal. therefore, the clock has not run, which means it is against federal law for obama to lift sanctions. obama -- mcconnell and boehner can do that together. all they have to do is enforce federal law. and don't allow obama to ignore the law. that's what i'm urging leadership to do. they don't want to do it. that's what we should do. i'll say secondly, sean, if they don't do it, if we go through with the show vote this week, if the republicans vote against it, democrats vote for this deal, it will go into effect.

that will make the single most important issue in 2016 stopping a nuclear iran. i'll tell you this, sean i cannot wait to stand on that debate stage next to hillary clinton and to make abundantly clear if you vote for hillary, you are voting for iran to acquire nuclear weapons. if you vote for me, under no circumstances will iran led by a theocratic ayatollah who chants death to america under no circumstances will iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. >> death to america was chanted immediately -- while the negotiations were going on. the americans flag, the israeli flag was burned. and they said the destruction of israel is non-negotiable, senator. so i want to go back. this is really important. the house and senate still has not repealed and replace obama. obamacare. you stood alone on a filibuster to fulfill that promise and you became a pariah. they ran in 2014 on the idea they would stop the executive illegal unconstitutional executive amnesty. is there any real hope?

do you believe that mcconnell and boehner are going to take a stand once and for all on this? >> look, it is difficult to have a great deal of hope. as you know, a couple months ago i came out with a new book, a time for truth. and it highlights what i call the washington cartel. career politicians in both parties who get in bed with lobbyist and special interests and grow washington. the problem is our leadership, they want to engage in show votes. but not actually win anything. so they want to show vote on obamacare. they want a show vote on amnesty they want a show vote on iran. they want a show vote on planned parenthood. we're going to have a big fight on planned parenthood. they want a show vote, and then they want to acquiesce to obama and send over $500 million in taxpayer funding to fund planned parenthood, an ongoing national criminal enterprise. i think the american people are fed up with the games of washington. no more show votes. just stand up and lead. >> i use that term all the time. especially the show votes on

repealing and replacing obamacare. you have stated -- because it's likely that in the next three weeks you have to pass a continuing resolution. the president, one wants to increase spending. more importantly, you have said you would not support any cr if it includes funding for planned parenthood. do you have the support of other republicans considering the release of these videos in recent weeks? >> sadly, right now we don't. republican leadership is standing with barack obama in supporting the funding of planned parenthood. let me tell you how they're doing it. what barack obama has said is he will veto any funding for the federal government unless it includes $500 million of taxpayer money going to planned parenthood. obama is holding the entire federal government hostage. every agency in the federal government. and what republican leadership does is it unilaterally surrendered. it says, well, the major tool congress has is the power of the purse under the constitution. and every time congress threatens to use it, obama says

he'll veto it. and so the position of mcconnell and boehner is they will not fight. unless obama agrees to it and won't veto it. if that's the case, what is the difference between them and harry reid and nancy pelosi? if obama sets all the priorities. you know, one of the ill stragtstragts today, there's a big wall street journal editorial slamming me because i'm urging republicans to follow through on our commitments and defund planned parenthood. i talk about that in my book. how the wall street journal is the most powerful tool republican leadership uses to hit conservatives. >> but senator, i don't understand how you become a pariah for only following through on the very same promises your fellow senators have made. i'm running out of time. i want to make sure i ask you. now, i applaud you. you went to see this county clerk in kentucky, kim davis yesterday.

there was a moment i guess you were supposed to go out on stage and mike huckabee's people said you can't go out on stage. we have the video. what happened here. >> i salute mike huckabee i'm glad he has spoken out in defense of religious liberty. i was in kentucky. i met with kim davis before she was released to support here. as you know, religious liberty has been a deep and personal fight of mine for decades. i've been leading the fight. and i am celebrating kim davis' release. when i had the opportunity to visit with her one-on-one i told her i said, kim, you are inspiring millions of believers across america and across the world. and indeed, you have been lifted up in prayer. heidi and i are praying for you. believers all over the world. you may have thought you were alone in that jail cell but you didn't realize how crowded it was. because we're standing with you. >> senator, are we criminalizing christianity? there had to be a better way to handle this than to put this woman in jail for six days because she was following her deeply held religious conviction

and her job description had changed. there had to be a better way. is this now the future? are we getting a glimpse of the future in terms of the battle against religious liberty? >> yes, sean. kim davis is you and me. it is threats coming after all of our liberty. six months ago if i would have suggested that a christian woman would have been thrown in jail for living according to her faith, that would have been ridiculed as totally impossible. yet it happened in kentucky. six weeks ago i hosted a religious rally in idaho. we had nine heroes across the country of standing for their faith, being persecuted, facing death threats, being fired. if you want to watch those stories go to our website tedcruz.org. tedcruz.org. watch that religious rally. you'll be lifted up. but it makes clear there has never been a greater threat to

religious liberty than we're facing now. >> last question, senator. i'm not trying to cut you short. last question. we had rudy guiliani on this program. we see the problem with hillary clinton, the secret server of hillary clinton that was in the bathroom of a mom and pop shop. we know it's been confirmed she had top secret, the highest level of security clearance. she had those e-mails on her server in spite of her claims otherwise. she finally apologized yesterday. rudy identified 13 separate criminal statutes that he would be looking at. this is your background. your experience. what are your thoughts? does she have an issue legally, criminally? >> look for all the public information it appears that secretary clinton has serious legal jeopardy she may well have violated multiple federal statutes, multiple criminal laws. and, you know, it is certainly our hope and prayer that the department of justice would investigate those fairly. justice should be blind. it's interesting comparing this to planned parenthood.

those planned parenthood videos which are horrific. on them senior planned parenthood officials essentially admit to multiple felonies that is a federal crime to sell the body parts of unborn children for a profit. yet nobody on earth thinks there's any chance the obama justice department would begin to investigate planned parenthood. they're too close a political ally of barack obama and hillary clinton. that's not how the department of justice should operate. i'm an alumnus of the department be blind to party and ideology. and one of the things have i pledged, if i'm elected president, we're going to restore integrity to the department of justice. on day one, he will direct the department of justice to open an investigation into planned parenthood. >> good for you. >> prosecute any and all criminal violations. and criminal prosecutions of hillary or anyone else shouldn't be driven by whether the white house likes hillary or dislikes her on a given day.

it should be driven by the law and the constitution. >> all right, senator. we're running out of time. it's really interesting to watch you and a competitor, donald trump today. i think it says a lot about the times we're living in and how significant the issues are that we're facing. we're going to watch. the next three weeks will be crucial for the leadership in congress. senator, good to see you. thank you for being with us. >> thank you, sean. god bless. coming up, hillary clinton finally apologizes over her server scandal, but is she sincere? let's not forget she brushed off the scandal and even joked about it for months. we'll check in with geraldo rivera and doug schoen. stay with us. that's coming up next. we live in a pick and choose world.

in an interview with abc news. i don't quite believe this, but you decide. >> in retrospect certainly as i look back at it now, even though it was allowed i should have used two accounts, one for personal, one for work-related e-mails. that was a mistake. i'm sorry about that. i take responsibility. >> all right. can anyone take that seriously after all hillary has spent months trying to brush this aside and evenly opening joked about it. you may remember this. >> when i got to work as secretary of state, i opted for convenience to use my personal e-mail account, which was allowed by the state department. because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work, and for my personal e-mails instead of two. i think it might have been smarter to have those two devices from the very beginning. i did not receive or send anything that was classified. >> did you wipe the server? >> what, like with a cloth or something? no.

by the way, you may have seen that i recently launched a snapchat account. i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. >> all right. here with reaction former clinton pollster and fox news correspondent doug schoen as well as geraldo rivera. a lot of lies told here. with a cloth, you mean -- >> she should not do standup comedy. >> apparently she wants to show her humorous side. she lied when she said he was e-mailing her husband. she lied about using only one device, from the get-go, there has been lie after lie. as she's quote apologizing she kept saying last night what she did was allowed and aboveboard. why apologize if it's allowed and above board. >> that's an excellent question you pose, sean, as usual. you have a situation here with the spokesman for the state department agrees with you. this was not illegal, although it is discouraged. so the question becomes why apologize if it's not illegal. the answer is, obviously, politics and the polls.

>> wait a minute. she can't admit that she broke the law because as soon as she does, her campaign blows up. >> that's what i was going to say, sean. she is facing a serious investigation by the fbi whether they call it criminal or not. rest assured -- >> when did the fbi do an investigation that's not criminal? >> good point. >> well, from her point of view, she cannot acknowledge wrongdoing because, a, it was allowed. b, whether you think she lied or not, she sure can't say anything other than -- >> doug, she sent out a memo as secretary of state telling people with her signature on it not to use their personal devices. >> but that's not illegal. >> okay. >> it's tawdry. it's shady. it is diminishing her stature with the american voters. >> did she lie when she said -- >> and you believe her tears are sincere? >> no, i don't. >> sean, i'm shocked. >> did she lie when she said she was e-mailing her husband, yes. >> i'm sure she e-mailed her husband.

>> no, her husband doesn't e-mail. no, he doesn't e-mail. >> the intern or somebody. >> he doesn't use an e-mail. did she lie when she said -- >> unless it is in the context of a sworn deposition -- it's not a crime. >> she said she never received or sent -- we now know that, in fact, she did have top secret documents -- >> that to me is the big issue. putting aside apologizes what she said, what she did. the big issue were there top secret e-mails about north korea and other very sensitive subjects. if that's verified, then there's a problem. >> it's verified. >> she has argued that they were, quote, under a deliberate status from the state department. >> we have multiple inspector generals all confirming that north -- >> they took a different position. she's trying to avoid indictment of her top people, potentially legal exposure herself. >> now she's got a guy who apparently who is getting immunity. that's going to be a problem.

let me put on some of the questions. >> she's going to testify. i think that that -- you know, the fact that -- >> trey gowdy is no one to mess with. >> i agree. he's a district attorney of south carolina. >> 19 questions. ron fournier. he is hardly a member of the right wing conspiracy. why not admit you violated the policy. it was her policy. who authorized the deletion of 33,000 e-mails. who carried it out? whose approval? none of those e-mails involved the clinton foundation or donors. why do you keep whether or not -- >> does this remind you of white water and travel agencygate and stealing the silverware and all these -- no. >> american national security -- >> it's all the same. >> let me tell you the difference. national security was compromised. if john kerry thinks his e-mails are being read by the russian and chinese they have every one of her e-mails. >> they have better access to her e-mails than we do. here's the issue. >> ed snowden they have more

than hillary clinton's. >> i want to see geraldo's e-mail. >> you have to divide the substantive scandal and the illegality with the image of her -- >> geraldo -- >> -- a liar and a dishonest person. >> it's the legal standing of the e-mails she received and sent. that will make or break her candidacy. not whether she apologizes. >> but it's more than that, doug. rudy guiliani and other attorneys we've had on this program and they're all confirmed, at least 13 statutes, criminal statutes that are in play for her, including the espionage act. including 18 u.s. code and i can go through. i put them all up on the air. mishandling of intelligence, geraldo, a crime. >> but sean, she strained. she's pessimistic she has the charm of a matronly undertaker. that's where the political aspect of this is paramount. the legal stuff is going to play out. i bet you dollars to donuts, i bet you everything i got a wad full of cash, i bet it all -- >> i think she's in legal

jeopardy. >> i don't think so -- she's trying to get through so she can just tack left and usurp bernie. >> when we come back, hillary clinton sits down with ellen degeneres for an interview, and started dancing. we have video of her dance moves that's next. bass pro shops is the place for huge savings. like clearance savings on nitro performance fishing boats and tracker aluminum fishing boats. with some of the best factory warranties in the business. bass pro shops.
