getting lots of feedback online with charles koch, like this one -- such a disappointing lack of evilness! imagine that. what did youininininink? thanks for watching. this is ""the kelly file."" tonight -- this is the secretary of state, one of the most targeted individuals by other intelligence agencies and entities in the world using a private server. >> former government employees are speaking out over the major double standard in hillary clinton's server scandal. so why does clinton get to play by her own set of rules? >> they just couldn't give things away fast enough. they're giving them to illegal immigrants. >> then, donald trump rips democrats for offering free stuff to illegal immigrants. >> the time to fix america is now. not tomorrow. but right now. and, ohio governor john kasich joins us to unveil his plan to end out of control

spending. all of that, plus dr. benjamin carson. "hanni "hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to "hannity." tonight we are broadcasting in our nation's capital. hillary clinton desperately wants her private e-mail scandal to disappear. her top democratic rival is helping her do it. >> tonight i want to talk about not my e-mails but what the american people want from the next president of the united states. >> may i say something that may not be great politics. i think the secretary is right, and that is that the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails! enough of e-mails. let's talk about the real issues facing america. >> thank be, bernie. thank you. >> pretty transparent. hillary clinton wants to live by her own set of rules, meanwhile average americans are not so lucky.

chief intelligence correspondent katherine harris is right here on our washington set. >> speaking at the press club here in washington these whistle blowers said they were aggressively prosecuted under the espionage act for sharing working information with other journalists to expose misconduct. >> powerful and politically connected individuals accused of the same and much worse conduct received, at most, a slap on the wrist. hillary clinton, she got a prime time tv apologist political spin interview from president obama himself. >> former cia officer jeffrey sterling was sentenced in may to 3 1/2 years in prison for violating the espionage act for giving classified information to a "new york times" reporter about iran. sterling was also convicted on obstruction of justice charges because a single e-mail was missing from his account even

though the government could not show he was responsible. also a former senior nsa official, troms drahomas drake indicted in 2010 under the espionage act for sharing information with a baltimore reporter. nothing was classified. while mrs. clinton's go-to explanation is that nothing she sent or received was marked classified, the drake and sterling cases show that's no excuse under the law. >> this is a secretary of state, one of the most targeted individuals by other intelligence agencies and entities in the world using a private server to traffic and leak highly sensitive information, no doubt including classified information no doubt including information, sources and methods. but hey, i'm secretary of state. >> all of the charges were eventually dropped against drake

who pled guilty to a misdemeanor but in the process he lost his job, his government clearance and his life savings on his defense. >> that's an unbelievable double standard. we already knew what happened to david petraeus. the allegations for hillary are far worse. >> they are. what we understand now is that the fbi's very focused on a provision of the espionage act that's 18 u.s. code 793 subsection f. this deals with the gross negligence in the handling of classified information. so in other words, if an official has a security clearance and has this information they act so irresponsibly that the information is compromised. >> hillary's first statement was very clear -- i never sent or received classified e-mails. then it became never knowingly sent or received -- >> right. then they were not marked. but the bottom line -- it doesn't matter what the markings are. it is the content that matters. and in these cases these whistle

blowers were prosecuted and it was not classified or it was not marked classified. the question is will the law be applied in a universal way so that there is not a double standard, a law for the common guy, then a law for the politically elite like mrs. clinton. joining us with reaction, author of "the rise of isis," our friend, jay, be your reaction to this double standard. we're going to get to specific statutes in a second but what's your reaction to the double standard? >> it's this is my concern from the beginning of this investigation. that hillary clinton gets a pass where anybody else that's involved in this kind of activity -- nowhere near her level of activity with the server and bathroom, condominium and e-mails going back and forth, they're getting prosecuted. david petraeus has to plead

guilty to a misdemeanor. you got others that are going to jail for 3 1/2 years. the president comes out and says well, hillary clinton, there's no evidence of national security breach. he walked that back a little bit considering there is an onfbi investigation but the gross negligence statute is very significant. that's an espionage violation and gross negligence in my view clearly would be having an unsecured server in this particular case with a company that did not have security clearance with no protection. i think that raises obviously if a grand jury is really investigating, this would be serious. >> rudy giuliani, former prosecutor himself, former mayor of new york, we keep putting him up on the screen but we're talking about felonies here that he would be investigating if he were investigating this case. how many laws have you identified? he's identified about 15. we'll put them up on the screen. >> i think there are probably 15, oun ne of those has to be

obstruction of justice. t ou look at 14, 15 se play into statutes, there can be multiple violations of each one of those. so the real question here is the department of justice does the investigations for the fbi and they get the evidence and they present it to the fbi. then it is loretta lynch, the attorney general of the united states, going to authorize a grand jury. >> if she doesn't, every american should be outraged because of double standard in the application of our laws. let me run a new rnc ad today comparing clinton's flip-flops to that of john kerry. >> what the american people are looking for right now is straight answers to tough questions. and that is not what we've seen out of senator clinton. >> senator clinton, i want to start with you. plenty of politicians involved on issues but even some

democrats believed you changed your positions based on political expediency. you were against same-sex marriage, now you are for it. you supported president obama's trade deals dozens of times, even calling it the gold standard. now suddenly last week you are against it. will you say anything to get elected? >> i never took a position on keystone until i took a position on keystone. >> i actually did vote for the $87 billion, before i voted against it. >> the final question -- based on the law, based on what we know, do you believe between that and the fact that most people find her to be a liar, dishonest and untrustworthy, can she maybe it to be the president? >> i think the d inc cleared th deck with bernie sanders on cnn. then it becomes what do the people of virginia, florida and ohio have to say about that. that's where i think she runs into serious, serious trouble.

when we come back, donald trump and dr. ben carson are neck and neck. dr. carson is here to weigh in. then later tonight psh. >> i watched last night as hillary and bernie sanders, they just couldn't give things away fast enough. and they're giving them to illegal immigrants. >> donald trump ripping the democrats promising to give away everything for free, free, free, including to illegal immigrants. geraldo rivera and i go one-on-one. plus owe governor john kasich says he has a plan that will balance the federal budget in eight years (vo) me? i don't just wait for a moment. i watch for the perfect moment. the one nobody else sees. and when i find it- i go for it.

fox news national poll. here's what trump had to say about dr. carson last night. take a look. >> it's been very nice to me, very respectful and nice. i've also been very nice to him. we have so far gotten along very well. every once in a while i want him to say something bad so i can go after him but he's been so nice, i can't do that. >> here with reaction, author of "a more perfect union, what we, the people can do to reclaim our constitutional liberties," 2016 republican presidential candidate, dr. benjamin carson. i don't know if that's an invitation to attack donald trump or maybe donald trump is hoping you attack him. how do you take that? >> i take it as quite humorous. you know, he's going to be waiting a long time if he's waiting for me to attack him because we have such huge problems in this country right now and i'm really going to be focusing my attention on that. that was the reason that i wasn't all that animated in the last cnn debate, because all

about here's my dog, sick him. that kind of stuff is foolishness as far as i'm concerned. >> isn't it a debating opportunity when they do get to you to really lay out your plans, your ideas, your visions and difficult reerentiate yours the other candidates? >> that's the kind of debate i'm looking forward to. hope flip as time goes on we will get into substance and real solutions. that's what i want to look forward to. >> i want to go to the democratic debate the other night. the question came up, do black lives matter or do all lives matter. i want you to watch the answer. >> do black lives matter or do all lives ma earth? let's put that question to senator sanders. >> black lives matter. and the reason -- the reason those words matter is the african-american community knows that on any given day, some

innocent person like sandra bland can get into a car and then three days later she could end up dead in jail. >> the point that the black lives matter movement is making is a very, very legitimate and serious point and that is that as a nation we have undervalued the lives of black lives, people of color. >> we need a new new deal for communities of color. >> senator webb? >> 4 of the 5 agreed that they would choose black lives matter. now maybe imanticipate old-fashioned, but why do i believe that every single life matters, dr. carson? you're a physician. >> you, like me, believe that this is the united states of america, not the divided states of america. and we should be looking at how do we take all of our people into consideration. this is a very serious issue. we only have 330 million people. china, india have more than 1

billion people. that means we need to develop all of our people. we need to get the most bang for the buck out of all of our people and our policies should be aimed at promoting everyone getting a good education, providing the right kind of opportunity. it strengthens us. it strengthens the fabric of our company. that's what we need to be worried about, not how we divide ourselves up into little special groups. >> is that a racist comment? >> which one? >> black lives matter -- when you're given a choice do black lives matter or do all lives matter and you pick one race, is that racist? >> well, i believe that the people who started that thought that they were doing something good. i hope that they will re-assess and think more globally. you know, i have gone on record talking about, particularly in the black community, if you're really going to be concerned

about the lives, let's talk about the abortions, the number one cause of death in the black community. and let's talk about the homicides. let's talk about all of it. but more importantly, as a whole society let's talk about the values and principles that made us into a great nation. let's talk about the compassion that we have for each other and what we can do to strengthen ourselves. we have global jihadists who want to come in here and destroy us and our way of life. the last thing we need to do is to pit ourselves against each other, get into our respective corners and throw hand grenades at each other. this is absolutely the wrong way to be going right now. >> let me ask you then specifically. if you look at minority communities all across america they have been disproportionately negatively impacted by the policies of president obama now the last seven years. that means more are in poverty, more are unemployed, more are out of the labor force.

so my question to you is how do you get these people that are using food stamps, getting food stamps, in poverty, out of work, not even counted anymore by the government? what is your plan specifically to get these people back into the mainstream of society contributing and prospering and succeeding and bringing their talents to fruition? >> well, we have to understand what are the forces that are keeping people down. we have the most powerful economic engine that the world has ever known. but it is very difficult for that engine to operate with so many regulations. it wasn't meant that the government would be into every aspect of our lives and controlling everything. they need to go back and read the constitution. they need to read my book, "a more perfect union" and find out what the duties of the government are. every one of those regulations cost us in terms of goods and services. but it hurts poor people and middle class people much more than it does wealthy people. quite frankly, sean, you and i,

if we go to the store and the box of detergent has gone up 30 cents it doesn't affect us but it affects someone who's poor. it affects a person with a big shopping cart full of things that have gone up 30 cents. we also need to be looking at the national debt. this administration has driven the national debt to unsustainable levels. that national debt has a deleterious effect on us because the fed is stuck. they can't really raise the interest rates because the debt service is just much too high if you raise the interest rates to a normal level. and poor people and middle class people have no good mechanism for increasing their earnings like they used to because of that. also banks are not incentivized to make loans to small people. where does your business go? i'm just skrachth surfacratchin

but the fact of the matter is the right kind of policies, we get things moving on. we don't need to divide ourselves up, we need to make a situation available so that everybody can climb out of that pit of dependency and become part of the fabric and success of america. >> let me ask you one last question because i assume there is a correlation between your rise in the polls and the level of attacks that have been coming your way. and very specifically, you performed as a medical doctor 15,000-plus surgeries. you consulted on thousands of others. there were six cases in which you were sued and big story that they're trying to turn into a headline is you left a sponge in some person's brain. i wanted to give you a chance to explain to people the truth of that and number two, the level of experience that you had and the types of surgeries you performed. >> well, there is a certain type of operation that we do called a

microvascular depression. we put these little microsponges in between the vessels and the nerve to keep the vessel from pounding on the nerve, and that generally aleve yates the pain. sometimes people react to the spongs. very, very rare. in that particular case there was a reaction to it. there's nothing you can do about that except obviously if it is causing problems to remove it. and -- >> all right. >> -- this is a desperate attempt -- just a desperate attempt to find some dirt. >> all right, dr. carson. good to see you. thank you for being with us, sir. >> thank you. from washington, d.c. up next on "hannity," -- >> i watched last night as hillary and brernie sanders, thy just couldn't give things away fast enough and they're giving them to illegal immigrants. >> free stuff. coming up next, geraldo rivera

is here to weigh in. then later tonight -- >> today i lay out my vision for lifting our nation by reclaiming our power, by reclaiming our money, and by reclaiming our influence from washington. >> 2016 republican presidential candidate, ohio governor john kasich, reveals his plan to balance the federal budget in eight years. he'll join us and explain how he'll do it here's to the explorers. those diagnosed with cancer who explored their treatment options by getting a comprehensive second opinion at cancer treatment centers of america. call today or go online to schedule your second opinion here. learn more at cancercenter.com

welcome back to "hannity." so during the democratic debate nearly every candidate on stage promised massive increases in government landouts including new benefits for illegal immigrants. needless to say the 2016 republican front-runner donald trump wasn't too pleased. last night during a rally in richmond, virginia he slammed his democratic opponents. watch this. >> i watched last night as hillary around bernie sanders, they just couldn't give things away fast enough. and they're giving them to

illegal immigrants. they want health care for illegal immigrants. they want drivers lie accepts's illegal immigrants. listen to this -- they're suggesting social security for illegal immigrants. >> here now with reaction, fox news senior correspondent, our friend geraldo rivera. geraldo, you don't respect american laws. you don't respect sovereignty. you come to america, get legal driver's licenses, in-state tuition breaks, obamacare subsidies, free childhood education and free child care/health care. at what point are we just not admitting that we are rewarding illegal activity and it is in direct conflict to the laws of the land? >> you know, sean, first of all of let me just say that i understand how emotional this issue is and how the vast majority of people watching us right now feel that exactly the list that you enumerated is

offensive to them, to the extent that they'll be motivated to vote for a candidate like donald trump. probably donald trump because i think that he will be the republican nominee. let me just take for 15 seconds the other side of the story. remember the undocumented immigrants, the 11 million or more who are here, they do pay a lot in taxes and let me explain how. according to the congressional budget office, they pay more into the federal treasury than they take out. they pay sales tax. they pay property tax. they pay gift tax. they pay income tax to phony accounts. they pay social security tax to accounts that are bogus that they have no hope of ever redeeming. they do the three ds, they do the demeaning, the dirty, the dangerous jobs that most americans don't want to do. poultry processing, for example. we're outsourcing our poultry processing to china now because we can't find the people to do it here. this is a population, the vast majority of whom are hard

working and law abiding. what they wanted is to get some benefits. >> geraldo, if we have laws and you are an attorney and it is the law of the land and you don't respect our laws and our sovereignty, you don't deserve the benefits of america. and i don't think it is lacking in compassion -- for example, i love what australia does. if you come on a boat and you're headed towards australia, if you're sick they give you medicine. if you're hungry they give you food. if you need water, they give you water. but they do in the allow you into that country illegally. how come america has to bear this burden? we're $20 trillion in debt? >> again, i absolutely understand the logic of your position and i think that no sovereign country can have porous borders. we have to have strength in borders. we are talking about men, women and children who are already here, some for decades. many have citizen-born children. we would not argue that those citizen-born children certainly

wouldn't have access to obamacare. we can argue the 14th eye memt a amendment all day long. i'm saying we need a practical approach. you know i love donald trump like i love you. he's been a friend of mine for decades. i said to him, i understand your position but all you have to do is lower the temperature. the rhetoric. stop with the you're not going to go door to door and remain a latino family show me your papers, separate the documented from undocumented. these are impractical. you can't do it. because i care about donald trump and i care about his candidacy and his viability. he's deeply unpopular among latinos. >> will you vote for him? >> i would vote for him if he changed this language. ep has -- this is an issue. like i know how you feel about abortion. i know that you could never vote for someone who was pro-choice or pro-abortion. i could never vote for someone who has a draconian approach to dealing with these otherwise innocent and law abiding people.

>> i once voted for rudy giuliani but i also knew as mayor of new york that he wasn't -- nothing he was going to do was going to impact the issue of abortion. he and i have a disagreement on that. the only thing i would say is this -- i don't buy the argument about americans think this work beneath them. think the problem is when people come here illegally they offer cheap labor and they go for cheaper labor and they're hurting american citizens that would otherwise in fact do those jobs. we've got to get control of this. . care about the americans -- >> you want to pay $40 a watermelon? for a dozen tomatoes you want to pay $50? it is just not going to happen. you're not going to change the culture now. >> we can have worker permits if needed. >> i even agree with eric bowling on that. >> what does that mean?

all right, geraldo. i'm counting you in as a trump vote. coming up next tonight right here on "hannity" -- >> as president i will immediately -- i will immediately put us on a path to a balanced budget and i will get it done within eight years. >> 2016 republican presidential candidate, the ohio governor, john kasich, says he has a plan to balance our budget, to stop robbing our kids. he'll do it in eight years. he's here to explain how he'd do that straight ahead. ♪ ♪ it's the final countdown! ♪ ♪ the final countdown! if you're the band europe, you love a final countdown. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico.

us in our washington studio. i want to remind people, you were the house budget committee chair. you balanced the budget. you left us a surplus. true? >> paid down debt. >> paid down the debt. >> grew jobs. >> as governor you took on a debt of $8 billion. now you have a surplus -- >> $2 billion. we're up 347,000 jobs. >> you've done it. all right, tell us how you're going to take away $20 trillion in debt, unfunded liabilities of about $120 trillion, save social security and medicare? how you going to do that? >> tu how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time. we have a legitimate plan that freezes non-defense discretionary, puts more money into defense spending, it controls the entitlements of medicaid by sending it back to the states. medicare with modern ways to approach health care. and we just take everything on but we also have economic growth because we have tax cuts, both

for businesses so they'll invest in, america and not in europe. >> what would your tax rate be? >> 25%. >> that's high though. >> we'll have repatriation so all their money can come back. >> for free? >> yeah, for free. expensing. here is the thing, you can put a chicken in every pot but at the end of the day numbers have to add up. when i was chairman of the budget committee here we cut the capital gains rate to 15. it unleashed economic growth and revenue and by restraining spending and growing the economy we got to balance and a surplus. same thing with the ohio plan. we have to grow the economy. that's why we are freezing regulations for a year. >> you can get rid of a bunch of them? >> we are. we'll have a court of common sense so a guy like you can go to normal people and take a look at some of the silly thing government does and puts a halt to it. we want to be energy independent. >> in how many years can you make us energy independent?

>> we can make ourselves energy independent forever as long as we do everything. >> can you give me years? five years means fracking. that means drilling. >> it means everything. >> expand coal mining. >> dig coal, clean it, burn it. it also involves nuclear. it takes regulatory reform. it takes an energy policy. it takes a reasonable trade policy so workers are not run over. it takes being able to make hard choices on the budget and also to cut tax so that our children are not enslaved in debt and we can get this economy growing. i've done it twice. i'll do it thrice. >> i like that line. when you say freeze, that means you're going to get rid of baseline budgeting. gone. >> and we're going to ship a bunch of programs out. education. hundred programs, send them to the states. >> i like the idea you'll let trillions of dollars multi-national corporations -- i

work. there is -- >> what you want to do is you do want to cut those taxes but if you and i own a restaurant and we have no customers we would lower our prices but we would also reduce our overhead. you've got to do both. not just grow the economy by cutting taxes and being able to freeze regulations, but also to be able to reduce your expenditures and what this place wants to do, they just want to cut taxes but they don't want to deal with spending. you got to do both. that's what we've done in ohio. >> freezing -- >> a penny out of every dollar. >> go for the penny plan instead of freeze. >> sean, we might. there's nobody else that has a plan like this. this plan has been deemed very credible. people are saying if anybody can do it, kasich can do it because he's done it before. see, you can always put a plan -- i can stand on a street corner around yell but i have the experience to actually get it done and the record to prove

that i know how to do it and it takes skill to get the congress to do it. this plan is reasonable enough that we can get it enacted. in the first hundred days i had send it to congress. >> didn't you hear those people on the stage the other night? they want to give you free, free, free everything. >> there won't be as many departments. >> what's going out? >> i'm working on it. education, we'll block grant all the money back. we're also going to cut welfare regulations. infrastructure. no longer send your gas money to washington. keep it here. keep it in the states. don't ever send it down leer. all of these things are a well thought-out plan of returning power, money and influence back to the states, growing the economy, getting to balance and getting to deal with the national debt. all this comes together, it's not just one idea. it is a big bundle of ideas.

to be president. >> that was hillary clinton during tuesday night's debate using the opportunity once again to remind you, the viewers, that she's woman. will it help? will it hurt her candidacy? here with reaction, eboni, okay, she's a woman. i'd love to see a woman president. not her. anybody but her. and she kept going back to that. that that somehow makes a distinction. i'm not exactly imprelsed with a woman who takes money from saudi arabia, the uae, kuwait and all these countries that treat their women horribly. >> i'm very obviously a woman

and i found it completely annoying and insulting in fact to suggest that other women should vote for you. why? because we all have ovaries? that's ridiculous. i'm happy as anybody women are thriving in this country at the highest possibly level. how about the fact that you were a united states senator? how about the fact you've been secretary of state. she has a record she should be running on, not her agenda. >> mercedes, i'd vote for you for president. >> i think my 12-year-old daughter wants to become the first woman president because surely we do not want hillary clinton to become the first woman president. gender has become part of her qualification which is just ridiculous. right? we are at a point in america we're so obsessed with gender, ethnic, racial poll significance. it is about the first african-american president. now the first woman president. she's playing up that card but is it going to work? i don't know. you see downward trends in the

polls from democratic women who are rallying for her 75% last december 2014. now down to 50%. she's going to keep pushing that card because it a important go of mitt romney. what a horrible thing he did, he declared war on women because he accumulated resume was hopes on hiring them. i think taking money where they don't let women drive, or treating women horribly. >> you have seen more single people on food stamps. they don't have economic opportunity. the topic in 2012 for victim was the economy and the candidate that is going to fight for them. the republicans, would say hey, we need to make sure that we

help help, single women, married women with their economic issues which is something the democrats thought of up in debate. >> she took money from the countries that treat women horribly. i googled and searched. we have a brain room at fox. we've had them look. i couldn't find her criticizing these countries but she took their money. >> i think she's a politician, she made a distinction between her and president obama. could you imagine the outrage had president obama actually ran, i know you're no fan, but running make me the first black president? it would be outrageous. >> he did. >> no. he did not. some people might have supported him but you never heard candidate barack obama talking

about that. >> he -- >> he did not. >> i disagree with that. >> we never heard that. he talked about his vision for america and his agenda. for hillary to say that? >> he said, there was a sense of a democratic party they knew -- >> i understand that, mercedes. >> the fact that he was -- >> as a candidate, he did not do that. >> but the others -- >> he never ran on his race. >> the democratic party were glad to push that. [ speaking over one another ]. >> we're seeing is that he's unapologetically running on her agenda. that is very very different. >> why? she decided she wasn't going to

use the gender card. i think she was didn't the -- >> the campaign changed it's strategy. >> she was still a woman in 2008. she was still a woman. >> one of the reasons the campaign strategy shifted is women do not vote in this country. >> she's got to be stronger on her agenda. >> we need to get rid of identity politics. >> i'm with you, sean. >> good to see you. mercedes, thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up next our ask sean segment and a very, very important question of the day. it's one of the questions thrown to the democratic candidates two nights ago. before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet... ...served my country...

...carried the weight of a family... ...and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and my biggest reason to walk... ...calls me grandpa. ask your doctor about lyrica. amerivest selects the funds and manages your portfolio. is it run by robots? no no, you can talk to a person anytime.
