mary katherine is also seven months pregnant. please go to gofundme.com and search for jake brewer. we'll put it on our facebook page. the money will help with the children's education. jake was just 34. welcome to "hannity." this is a fox news alert. wisconsin governor scott walker is suspending his campaign for president. he made his announcement earlier this evening. >> today i believe that i'm being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. with this in mind, i will suspend my campaign immediately. i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider coudoing the same so t the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the
10:01 pm
current front-runner. >> we'll have more on governor walker's exit from the race in a moment. but dr. ben carson continues to surge in the polls. over the weekend he caused a bit of a controversy over remarks he made over made and politics. >> should your faith matter to voters? >> i guess it depends on what that faith is. if it's inconsistent with the values and principles of america, then, of course it should matter. but if it fits within the realm of america and consistent with the constitution, i have no problem. >> so do you believe that islam is consistent with the constitution? >> no, i do not. i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. >> those comments by dr. carson have caused an uproar among many politically correct liberals. but look what happens when you mix islamic values with a political system.
10:02 pm
theocracies dominate the muslim world. in saudi arabia, it's against the law for women to even drive a car, being gay is also illegal and leaving the muslim faith, that carries the death penalty. and in sudan, another islamic theocracy, women are the target of many, quote, public order laws and according to amnesty international, whoever commits in a public space an act or conducts himself in a manner, an indecent manner or manner contrary to public morality or wears indecent or immoral dress which causes annoyance to public feelings shall be punished with bhiping not exceeding 40 lashes or with a fine or with both. in bahrain they enforce the law where a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's. and rapists avoid punishment if he marries his victim. here is dr. benjamin carson. good to see you, sir. let's talk about the interview and what you said specifically
10:03 pm
about a muslim president. do you stand by the comments? >> absolutely, i stand by the comments. you know, what we have to do is we have to recognize that this is america, and we have a constitution. and we do not put people at the leadership of our country whose faith might interfere with them carrying out the duties of the constitution. so if, for instance, you believe in a theocracy, i don't care if you're a christian, if you're a christian and you're running for president and you want to make this into a theocracy, i'm not going to support you. i'm not going to advocate you being the president. >> i spoke with dr. zudijossart, a moderate muslim. i asked him if he could name a single country that treats women the way we do in the united states. he couldn't name a single one.
10:04 pm
is that what you were thinking in your mind, the way muslim theocracies currently operate? >> that's correct. they currently do not tend to operate the same way that our system does. now, if someone has a muslim background and they're willing to reject those tenants and to accept the way of life that we have and clearly will swear to place our constitution above their religion, then, of course, they will be considered infidels and heretics, but at least i would then be quite willing to support them. >> what i hear in your statement there is you kind of are tempering those remarks. for example, if there was a moderate muslim that denounced shariah, that denounced radical islamists, that denounced quotes in the koran about killing the infidels or not taking christians and jews for your
10:05 pm
friends, that denounced the controversial life of mohammed, you would be open to that muslim running for president? >> of course. >> but, well, then so basically the controversy is over in that sense. did you mean to say radical islamist or one that supports a form of government as is practiced in muslim countries, is that more what you meant to say? >> well, that was implied in the comment because i prefaced that by saying i don't care what religion or faith someone belongs to if they're willing to subjugate that to the american way and to our constitution, then i have no problem with it. that's what i said before that. >> yeah. what do you make of scott walker getting out of the race? and he made a statement that this has become too much about personal attacks, this campaign. do you agree with that? because that's what i felt the last debate was. you said this about him. he said this about you. tell him what you think about what he said.
10:06 pm
did you think that was too much said about that? >> that's ridiculous and that's why i refused to get into it. some said it was a weak debate perform eps. i wasn't going to fall for that bait. that's what they did the last time around. we have to be smarter than to fall for that. >> not in a million years are you going to get involved in that. i can't see you. so in that sense, i don't think the debate format is particularly helpful to you even though you keep surging in follows. are you convinced now with your poll numbers that you can win the presidency? >> i absolutely believe that, but you know, i listen to the people everywhere i go. you know, they're saying, you are our hope. and the crowds are big and enthusiastic. and you know, i will do everything i can working with the people to return this country to a place that is for the people. the people should be at the pinnacle. the government is there to serve the people. >> let me ask you about the
10:07 pm
refugees from syria and iraq that we're now talking about or the administration's talking about some 200,000. we've been told by james clapper, by the state department, that, in fact, al qaeda and isis will infiltrate, dr. carson, the refugee population. in other words, they want to get into western europe. they want to get into america. knowing that, is it wise to let those people into this country knowing that some terrorists are likely to be among that population? >> of course not. that would be the height of irresponsibility. i mean, we have a responsibility to protect all our people. and what i advocated last week is that we use some of our expertise and some of our resources to help those people get settled in that part of the world. you know, what is wrong with all the places on the araben peninsula and turkey taking those people in? we can help them. we have our own refugees to deal with. >> we have 50 million americans on poverty, 64 million on food
10:08 pm
stamps and 94 out of the labor force. president rouhani made a lot of statements. he wouldn't denounce chanting death to america and the destruction of israel's nonnegotiable while this president was negotiating the nuclear deal. why would -- is there anything good that america got out of that deal or is getting out of this deal? >> maybe there's a secret deal that we don't know about, but it seems to be very foolish. and i just for the life of me can't figure out why we don't use common sense. and why don't we put the american people and their interests first? why are we always looking out for somebody else who doesn't have our interests in mind? it's very hard to understand. >> back to the immigration question that came up in the debate. you have a little different opinion than donald trump. should anybody that didn't respect american law and sovereignty and came into the country illegally, should that prevent them from every getting citizenship, whether or not they
10:09 pm
stay or not? >> i think that's something that we should leave to the american people. if i were elected president, i would be very interested in what the american people wanted to do on that respect. and if they decided that they would never allow such a person to become a citizen, i would abide by that. >> dr. carson, congratulations on your poll numbers. we appreciate your time as always. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up tonight, governor scott walker suspends his presidential campaign. what does that mean for the rest of the republican field? we'll check in with my friend hugh hewitt who didn't get enough time last week. also later tonight, iran's president tries to explain why a disturbing video showing iranians and the supreme leader chanting death to america. and senator marco rubio, he's here to talk about the pope's visit to cuba

eight people and poisoned many more. i'm kelly wright. back to "hannity". welcome back to "hannity." governor scott walker sent shockwaves through the political world when he announced he was suspending his presidential campaign. how does this impact the rest of the field? author of "the queen" hugh hewitt is back with us. good to see you. >> good to see you, sean. >> before we get to walker, i watched the debate. you know how much air time you had in a three-plus hour debate? take a guess. >> about six minutes, i think. >> no. three. three minutes. six questions. >> well, it was fine. >> but wait a minute. but you ask -- you're a conservative. they partnerred with the salem radio network. friends of mine own the salem radio network. i kind of felt bad for you because your questions were
10:14 pm
solid, they were strong, your follow-ups were strong. i just like what are you a prop here? i was disappointed. >> you shouldn't be. i'll tell you why. the 11 candidates on the stage deserve to be the absolute focus of attention. and what jake was doing there is he's cardale jones for the ohio state buckeyes and we got our touches and we got our chances. and in the question development phase, which is very important, it went well. i like the fact that -- >> jake tapper had 40 questions you had 6 direct questions. >> i like the fact that the next day the focus was on the candidates and not on the questions. there will be more debates. as the field shrinks, as it did tonight, there will be more time for the designated conservatives. like ron bloomberg was the first designated hitter and first designated conservative. there will be more time and more touches. i can't take it away from jake. he did a good job. >> i'm not saying anything against him. i'm just looking at cnn and i
10:15 pm
felt like you're the conservative that's on the panel. you're the one that served in the reagan administration. you asked hard-hitting, fair questions. i wanted you to be in the mix more. which leads us to scott walker. i look at walker's record. i think the guy would have been a formidable candidate in this race. i talked to him earlier. he said, look, i can't say that we're running a debt as a country and run against that and run a debt in a campaign, which was a solid answer. >> you just used the right word. he's a solid, stable guy, as is tonette walker, the first laider of wisconsin. i'm sure they looked at the figures. they doesn't have term limits in wisconsin. he can run for a third term. a very young man. i call him the harry potter in the race because everyone keeps killing him off and he keeps coming back from the dead. he has a long and useful life from american politics ahead. so he gracefully exited stage
10:16 pm
right. i look at other candidates to look at the example, when have i spent enough time on the stage and the cards aren't falling my way. >> let's be honest here. lindsey graham needs to bet out of the race, george pataki needs to get out of the race. maybe a few others. i won't mention more names. to me it's frustrating. you had 11 people on the stage. this person said this about you. it was sort of wwe wrestling a little bit. but the candidates did get into substance. i liked that part of the debate a lot. >> i think it was the most foreign policy national security centric debate in the last 30 years. i'm proud of that that we shaped this. i will say this -- >> you're taking this like a -- i wanted more hugh hewitt. that's a compliment. >> you're very kind, sean. and i look forward to having more touches the next time around. but i'll tell you this, what matters most is the field gets down to the serious people who have a path to the nomination.
10:17 pm
i had donald trump on my radio show today. we spent 20 minutes with donald talking about global warming, what if pakistan becomes unstable. as soon as we get to the top five or six, and i think that will happen over the next six to eight weeks, there will be long sustained conversations about the most important thing, which is beating hillary. >> i agree with that. you've had your issues with donald trump. how do you feel about him now? >> i've always gotten along with him. i've been called so many bad things by my teenagers when i wouldn't let them use the car, i'm used to anything. we had a great conversation tonight. he remains the best interview in america. i've said that for months now. if you lined up tiger woods, oprah and donald and said which one do you want to lead your show with every night for a week, i'd pick donald trump every single time. wouldn't you? he's the best interview. >> but i thought you guys had -- you've been somewhat critical of him. what do you think of the issue of ben carson, who we just interviewed, and his comments about islam or a muslim president and do you think it
10:18 pm
was fair for the media to jump on donald on something somebody in the audience is asking him and people were saying that donald didn't really want to embarrass the guy? >> i think that was a made-up controversy. i'm not so sure that guy is for real and wasn't a plant. i've been in a number of situations where i cannot hear, i do not know what the question is. >> i've been there many times a totally fake controversy designed to embarrass donald trump. as to the religious test, article six of the constitution says there isn't one. i read a book about romney from this. i'm an evangelical catholic. i'm as catholic as the pope coming here. i do not care if it's a catholic or muslim who is running. i want to judge the candidate. our founding fathers and our good friend mark levin would agree. put in article six for a reason, to prohibit a religious test.
10:19 pm
dr. carson should revise his comments on this. martin luther said he'd rather be ruled by a wise turk than a -- >> good to see you. >> good to see, sean. thank you for your kind words. >> coming up here on "hannity" -- >> remember that when the iranian people and leaders caught on tape chanting "death to america." iran's president was asked about that video. you won't believe his lame excuse. then later pope francis stirring up controversy with the murdering castro brothers while he took time to meet them and he isn't meeting with dissidents. why not? 2016 republican presidential candidate senator marco rubio will join us next. you total your brand new car.
10:20 pm

welcome back to "hannity." each week we are learning new details about how disastrous this iranian nuclear deal really is. the ayatollah was caught on tape chanting death to america along with a large crowd of supporters. you may remember this. >> yeah, death to america, of course, pretty unbelievable. now the iranian president hassan
10:23 pm
rouhani sat down for an interview with "60 minutes" and he said this about the chant. >> the u.s. has made many mistakes in the past about iran and must make up for those mistakes. this slogan that is chanted is not a slogan that is against the american people. our people respect the american people. the iranian people are not looking for war with any country. but at the same time the policies of the united states have been against the national interests of iranian people. if america puts the enmity aside, if it initiates good will and if it compensates for the past, the future situation between the united states and iran will change. >> joining us now, dr. robert jeffress and the author of a new book imam muhammad siddeeq is with us. let me ask you this question. we're giving them $150 billion building icbms. they'll have nuclear weapons in 11 years. what did we get out of that deal
10:24 pm
and why would we do a deal with people chanting death to america and the destruction of israel is nonnegotiable? why? >> keep in mind, sean, i'm american and i'm sensitive to anything that hurts america. >> i ask you why should we do a deal with a country that chants death to america and the destruction of israel is nonnegotiable? why would we do that? >> because we're looking for a way to head off any type of nuclear disaster in the future. >> tell me what we got out of this deal. >> what we got out of this deal is we get a chance to have a civil conversation. >> a civil conversation but they get $150 billion. >> but that's their own money, sean. that's their own money. >> the chant is death to israel. >> i'm not in agreement with the chants. >> i wouldn't give those people $150 billion. they don't deserve it. >> it's their own money. maybe they don't. >> pastor jeffress? >> let's put this into context of what we've been talking about about ben carson's comments, about islam.
10:25 pm
look, let's all be clear. article six of the constitution says that government can't impose a religious litmus test, but it has nothing to say about individual voters. look, i think we ought to know what a candidate's faith is because it shapes his world view and islam is a good illustration of that. before i ever voted for a muslim candidate, i'd want to hear that candidate renounce radical islam, renounce the portions of the koran that call for jihad against israel and those who support her and also renounce mohammed for his atrocities against the jewish people. >> how do we get there? how did we get -- >> because all of iran's hostility towards israel comes out of a religious belief that israel doesn't belong to that land. >> hang on. >> -- face of the earth. a person's faith does make a difference. >> brigitte. let's go back to dr. carson a second. >> dr. carson is a hypocrite.
10:26 pm
>> no, he's not. you don't look like brigitte. hang on. imam, imam, it's not your turn. hang on a second. >> okay. >> brigitte, i got the impression, we just talked to dr. carson, is there any muslim country that you can name that has values that are compatible with american values? in other words, in their treatment of women and minorities, et cetera? any muslim country you can think of? >> no, i cannot think of any muslim country because in almost every muslim country around the world their code, their law is shariah law, and shariah law is not compatible with the constitution. and therefore, the way they live their life according to islamic law is very different than our definition of what freedom and democracy are all about. >> dr. jeffress raised a number of points, i agree. you say you might consider voting for a muslim president
10:27 pm
but you'd want him to denounce shariah, you'd want him to denounce some of the actions of mohammed, you'd want him to denounce the radical use of the koran and get rid of war against the infidels and jihad against the infidels. should that be mandatory? dr. jeffress? >> i think that is in the voter's mind whether or not that is something that's mandatory. i want to point out something. people who call ben carson a bigot for saying what he did, they'd have to call john jeh, said, quote, in this christian nation we had the duty and the responsibility to prefer and select christians as our leaders. he wrote those words just several years after article six was ratified. i think he knows wrt the meaning of the constitution than these liberal pundits. >> imam, i have a question for you. name one muslim country that
10:28 pm
treats women and minorities fairly? >> i can't say anything about that. >> you can't name one of -- stop, stop. >> i don't -- i don't want to talk about -- >> imam, imam, i'm asking you a simple question. we have all these muslim countries, indonesia. name one that treats women and minorities fairly. >> i can say this, sean, i don't know the inner workings of every muslim country. >> you can't name one, can you? >> i can name plenty of countries. >> name one. >> that's not the issue right here. >> no, that's my question. brigitte, i don't think he can, can he? >> all he can is come and shout. you're a imam and you're a leader and supposed i you're a thinker who can come on national television and defend your views. >> i have to end the debate here. >> -- who does not have a person in this debate. ahead of his visit to america, pope francis is causing

10:35 pm
rubio an outspoken critic of normalizing relations with cuba. we're told when the pope comes to the united states he's going to lecture the country about immigration, about economic justice. he's meeting the castro brothers, they're murderers, they jail political dissidents, they create poverty for their people. is he going to lecture them, too? >> of course it's disappointing when i understand he's a religious figure and there to inspire the flock and went to celebrate mass. didn't necessarily go there with but there are political implications to such a visit. i hope he brought that up in private meetings although it won't matter. the castro brothers or the regime. people got to see the images of those dissidents being rounded up and arrested and thrown on the streets. even before the mass you had people being arrested as they left their homes to prevent them from even getting there. at least the world is now being exposed to the reality of what
10:36 pm
the cuban government is all about. >> and the president saying he's going to go further with this. let me put up the latest poll numbers. big jump for you post debate. you're now in double digits with a little over four months to go and at is 11%. the three people ahead of you are outsider nurjt candidates. you're the number one person that actually has a political background. what do you think these polls tell us? >> we've been hearing it for a long time. i don't think it's just this year. there's a massive disconnect between leaders in washington, in both political parties, and what's happening in the lives of our people. think about the national debt. no one talks about it. it's a serious problem, $18 trillion and growing. it will eventually bankrupt our country and create a debt crisis. people are frustrated. no one is talking about that. there's a massive disconnect between washington and leaders in both parties and what's happening in the country. you see that reflected in not just in the polls but you've seen it reflected in three out
10:37 pm
of the last four elections. >> i don't recall even in that debate, the wwe cnn debate where you said this about him, he said this about you, i don't remember the debt being discussed. >> you're right. it wasn't. >> the next president will inherit debt and libts. that to me almost sounds like greece. it doesn't seem like it's a problem we can even solve. thoughts? >> if we weren't america, we would have had a greece crisis already. the fact that we're america has given us some flexibility and wiggle room and bought us some time. but eventually we'll have to pape the piper as well. eventually the world will say we're not buying any more of this debt from america because they have no plan to pay it back. it's the most predictable crisis in american history. we have political leaders in boat parties that aren't doing a thing about it. it reflects in the polls and the frustration people have. quite frankly, if you recall, that's why i ran in 2010 against the establishment of my own
10:38 pm
party because i felt there were people not willing to fight for what mattered. >> senator, i want to ask you about the president's plan, the secretary of state's plan, they're now talking about bringing in as many as 200,000 syrian iraqi refugees. james clapper national intelligence agency, has said that isis and al qaeda will infiltrate the refugee population. is it worth the risk? if our intelligence officials are saying they'll infiltrate the refugee community, is it worth bringing anybody in here or it is too great a risk? >> yeah, that's why this refugee crisis is different from the ones we've seen in the past. we've never had one like this, where you had people coming from a part of the world where we know that terrorist elements are using the crisis to infiltrate people into other countries. we know this already from the jordanian camps where you have people that have come across. so we want to continue to be a compassionate country. and we should be open to taking in some refugees, but we also have to continue to be strict about the background checks. and here's the truth.
10:39 pm
it isn't easy to background check someone who is coming from syria or the middle east. you can't pick up the phone and call over there. it may not even be possible in many cases. it may not be possible. it's not that we don't want to do it, we may not be able to do it. >> i would imagine that any isis or al qaeda affiliate or trainee is going to be trained in the answer. oh, i'm a refugee, i'm seeking peace and happiness for my family. i don't think they're going to admit that they're terrorists. look, then that goes into the expanded issue. as you now continue your rise in the polls -- and this was a really significant jump for you post debate, the only issue that conservatives ever bring up about you is the issue of immigration. i want to ask you very specifically one thing. i know you said it was a mistake to go over comprehensive reform and i know you said we need to secure the border first because the country doesn't trust politicians. my question is, are you prepared to say that those that didn't
10:40 pm
respect our lawed an sovereignty should not have the opportunity to be citizens unless they go back and come in the right way? >> what i've always said about that, we can't even get to that stage until we've done the other two things like secure our border and modernize our immigration system. a lot of people believe if you violated the law, you should not be able to apply fr a green card which you have to have first before you can apply for citizenship. my argument has been if you're a dangerous criminal, you can't even stay. i have personally said i don't want there to be millions of people that are permanently barred from ever becoming american. but a lot of people don't believe that. a lot of people thing it should just stop at the legalization portion. if that's all we can get, that's a lot better than what we have right now. but that's a debate -- even though i'm personally open to the green card, that's a debate that we can have down the road after we've seen how the program has worked. i don't think it's a decision you have to make on the front end. the first thing you have to do is stop illegal immigration, then second modernize our legal immigration system, then third
10:41 pm
you can have a debate about how to even legalize people to begin with and then in 10 to 12 years have a broader debate how has this worked out and should we allow some to get green cards and citizenship. i'm open to that, some are not. >> we're a long way from that. i agree with you, we have to secure the borders first. that's a good first step. the last question is the issue has come up in recent days about a muslim being president. dr. ben carson said i would not advocate we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i would not agree with that. if you look at muslim countries, it seems that in many of them, their values are the antithesis of values we cherish in this country, imcompatible with american values especially countries that practice shariah. what is your take on this statement and what is your take on the overall position that a muslim could be president? >> well, let me start by saying i personally know, first of all,
10:42 pm
that there are americans that are muslims and are also very patriotic and they love the united states of america and they don't want to see shariah law and they don't want to see any sort of thing like that happen in this country. i don't think anybody should be disqualified from the presidency because of their denomination and because of their faith. i believe in that strongly as a country. i also believe if someone believes in shariah law, they're not going to be elected to anything much less the presidency. that's jaust a fact. there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country who are muslim but love america. they're not political about their religious views the way you would see in some other countries around the world. i guess because i know there are people out there that love america and even serve in our armed forces and some are in elected office. but i personally do not believe your religious denomination should disqualify you from being in office. including the values of someone. whether you're muslim or catholic or anything, if you
