but hannity makes a good point. it sounds like killing cops to him. [laughter] and if fox newsstands for anything, it is a zero-tolerance policy for any individual who might have or actually did write a song about cop killing. >> and happy birthday to rapper and actor ice-t. he is 52. [cheers and applause] >> jon: well, to be fair, that's different because ice-t was not celebrating his birthday with obama. what about the phrase in common's poem, "killing over oil burn a bush, because for peace he no push no button." it appears to be a metaphorical call of violence against the president, and while it isn't, you can say it was. [laughter] it would be like saying to the critics of the president, don't retreat, reload, you know, or drawing targets over your political opponents. surely fox wouldn't defend that type of incendiary language. >> we've heard sarah palin say that her supporters shouldn't relax or retreat, they should reload. >> which is a very alaska-type term. >> political rhetoric often use military term, holding your fire, search and destroy,

hannity starts right here, right now. despite the president's best efforts the photographs of a deceased bin laden may still see the light of day. associated press has filed a request under the fry dom of information act for the release of the photos. the administration has 20 days to spoken. the ap is asking the obama administration release the photograph of bin laden's dead body and images taking -- taken during the burial onboard the uss vinson. we are learning new details on how the intelligence community plotted the raid. "the new york times" reports a cia team had been monitoring the come bound from a rented -- compound from a rented house nearby before the raid. bin laden's wife told interrogators she was living in the compound with eight of bin laden's children and she did not leave that compound for five years. while americans continue to celebrate the death, many are expressing different he motions. bin laden's supporters stormed the streets of london today outside the city's american embassy and vowed that isla

hannity starts right here, right now. tonight, the white house is still debating whether to release a photograph of bin laden's bodying following the raid. cia director panetta hinted that a picture of the body will be released. officials are debating because the most identifiable image of bin laden is the most gruesome. despite panetta's claim say the white house will make the decision about the release of the picture. we are piecing to the key details of the raid that lead to bin laden's death at this pakistani come upon. even the white house seemed confused about how the white house unfolded. particular whethers an was anned. whether he used one of his wives an a human shield. and whether she emerged dead or alive. we know a team of 24 seals repelled into the compound operate president's orders, bin laden some of his family members and two other families were living in this mansion. reports say bin laden weather and his family occupied the second and third floors. the seals entered on the ground floor they shot and kil

chris: sean hannity conceded that the birth certificate put that to rest but he came up with a new loaded topic that night. >> we have this issue the birth certificate. this was never a defining issue for me but i find it odd. all the president had to do was what he did today. release it and move on. we're going to talk about a controversy we discussed last night on the program and that has to do with the church, that barack obama and his family takened on easter sunday. >> let's talk about the black church now. rush limbaugh on that same day. >> the first black president icon offereded nothing but a weak song entitled "hope and change." we have recordings from the ruling class admitting they don't know what he stands for. chris: he put out the burtskert all of a sudden this other stuff kept coming. grades in school, basketball, the black church. your thoughts? >> my thoughts are that the people who don't like barack obama are trying to erase him from history, that they refuse too accept his legitimacy. george w. bush, if anything, was considered to be somehow almost dangerously too much

you have sean hannity. you have all those other people. you never have me. it was so embarrassing. i had to give in. i said ok, neal. you can be a presenter. that's why, ladies and gentlemen, he is a presenter and tonight's first presenter. the truth of the matter is i was delighted to hear neal say that. he's been a presenter on this program several times before. he's always been a smash hit. he's always been a favorite of mine. if i could i would abuse his friendship every year by asking him to be a presenter. ladies and gentlemen, i give you the very dangerous neal boortz. >> i'm going to have so much fun with my granddaughter with that tomorrow. did brent just tell you about the palm beach speech i gave to him? is that what -- he talked about me being a whiner. is that it? when he invited me down there to speak and i'm sitting in the back and he's talking about the great hannity and limbaugh are going to save the world. notice there's no teleprompters. and -- [applause] i have trouble with bow ties. ann? where's ann. thanks. i had to go to ann's room to get the bow tie done. li

"be sure to watch hannity this wednesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern, i will be on to talk about my run for president of the united states." this is huge news! (laughter) huge-headed news! (laughter) because, folks, clearly after months of speculation, newt gingrich has finally announced that tomorrow he will be making an announcement. (laughter) this is the preannouncement announcement we've all been pre-waiting for. (laughter) i haven't been this excited since march when newt made the pre-preannouncement that he would be entering an exploratory phase. (laughter) which i believe means that he and his candidacy have agreed to an open marriage. (laughter) of course, newt isn't the only republican candidate who's throwing his oversized hat into the ring where he will then pick it up and throw it into another more important ring. (laughter) so is donald trump who... folks, has got to be careful when he throws his hat so his hair doesn't go with it.

and he deserves credit for it and frankly i've seen a lot of the right praise him for this issue on hannity today. praised him for that to the hilt for this that think people on the right see this not as a political issue but one of all americans and i think the right please pray for what it for x. . excellent operation robert i was i was looking at just the top of ross story turn ten republicans you know it's damning with faint praise basically writes i'm not going to want to say too much favorable to obama that's not the way it's going to cope but it is possible to look at obama's presidency as almost two plus years of cleaning up messes that george w. bush a look behind bank is just of the two thousand and six two thousand and seven and beginning of the housing collapse right in the. with the wars in afghanistan and iraq that obama's been trying to deal with and here you have one of perhaps the biggest mistake that bush made or one of the biggest in his presidency which was not dealing with osama bin laden at tora bora in the fall of two thousand and one after the invasion of afghanistan

we are on the road to 2012 and hannity starts right here, right now. the white house is debating whether to release a photograph of osama bin laden's body, but cia director leon panetta hinted that a picture of the body will be released. they are debating it because the most identifiable image is the most gruesome. and panetta said the white house will make the final decision about the picture. we're piecing together key deil tails of the raid that led to osama bin laden's death. even the white house seems confused about how it unfolded, particularly about whether osama was armed and whether he used his wife's body as a human shield. but 24 navy seals rapelled into the compound on the president's orders. bin laden and some family members and two other families were living in this mansion at this time. now, the seals entered on the ground floor, where they shot and killed two couriers before moving up to the second floor. there, they found osama and one of his wives. his wife attacked the seals and they shot her in the leg. according to the latest repor

[ female announcer ] lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. great ride down. if you have high cholester

. >> hannity, limbaugh, they jumped all over that, that was candidate obama getting aggressive. a year later in a debate with john mccain in nashville, tennessee, president obama had this to say just weeks before the election, much more specific. >> what i've said is we're going to encourage democracy in pakistan, expand our nonmilitary aid to pakistan so that they have more of a stake in working with us, but insisting that they go after these militants and if we have osama bin laden in our sights and the pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then i think that we have to act and we will take them out. we will kill bin laden. we will crush al qaeda. that has to be our biggest national security priority. >> did you hear that? if they are unable or not willing, we're going to go ahead and do it. john mccain hammered the freshman senator from illinois making that statement. take a look at this. >> you know, my hero is a guy named teddy roosevelt. teddy roosevelt used to say, walk softly, talk softly but carry a big stick. senator obama likes to talk loudly. i

there are quotes that glenn beck likes to use, sean hannity that washington supposedly said it is impossible rightly to govern the world without god and the bible. and this coa quotation -- quotation is all over the place. you can find it all over the internet. there's no evidence that washington ever said it or wrote it, and it was most likely made up in the 19th century by somebody else. but, again, there's this need to believe it. now, what was washington? was he a christian? what did he really believe? it's a very difficult question to answer. we can be certain on the one hand he was not an atheist, he was not a deist. he was also, on the other hand, not an evangelical christian. he was not powerfully interested in the theology and in the forms of the christian religion. he did go to church, but he was very careful not to take communion and not to kneel. why he felt that way, we don't exactly know. he didn't mention jesus christ in his correspondence, and he didn't talk about god on his death bed. i believe he was a very moral man, a very virtuous man. he was influenced by the stoics. he

judaeo-christian hannity is a basic template. that's blasphemy because the multiculturalism how do you see that does that mean that you were against hindu? aye bostick. the proof is in the pudding. america, the pillars of capitalism and of the judeo-christian of the and the checks and balances to work of each other america grows so quickly to become what it was in the short period of time and then the cultural marxists came and took our institutions down. they got rid of washington's birthday, lincoln's birthday, they got kids of the college campus saying i love you, thank you for buying me a stereo. by thanksgiving the first semester why are we having thanksgiving, mom and dad you were in the prisoner of the native american. that is what the left is in this country into one of the critical feria and above salles linscott transfer and the fear read into the street level. political fury is tearing down the culture just criticizing. sarah palin is bad. george bush's bad. the war is bad. barack obama won the presidency after four ye

is that it, when he invited me down there to speak and i am in the back and talking about hannity and limbaugh will save the world. -- notice there are no teleprompters, and i have trouble with bow ties. and ann, thanks i had to go to ann's room to get the bow tie done and little did i know that andrew had trouble with bow ties and suspenders and shoes. and soon i will sell my bumper sticker in the back, it's simple, change you can step in. or change you can scrape off the bottom of your shoe. you know on halloween you can take some obama change, you put in a bag on the front porch and set it on fire. you know it's been four years ago since they invited me, because the last time i was overmedicated. and i am told i embarrassed some people, but you know, i am old enough that i really just don't give a damn anymore. the first award tonight is the obama-gazm award, named by l.brant gazelle. and i am pleased he had me present this award. and it's this liberal fascination with the obama obama-oshan-regime, and obama is their perfect man, and you see how they write about barack obama, and t

by democrats saying republicans want to cut funding because they feel npr responds to limbaugh and hannity and the like, and i thought, oh, so when democrats don't feel npr is doing the job of responding, then democrats will challenge npr's funding. i feel this is a bad game for anybody who wants to do journalism. i think let the politicians play their games and then let the journalists do their jobs. >> so you worked for a number of different enterprises, as we said earlier. how are flus organizations generally doing on newsroom diversity, however you might define it? >> well, i don't have the statistics with me. i didn't come prepared for that, but i think as i look around, my sense is diversity with women is doing great, that there are more and more women in the workplace. i think i see more and more women personalities. i think until recently you had katie couric and diane sawyer as two of the nightly news anchors and in terms of young people coming in, i think young women are without a doubt far outperforming young men. in fact, i think part of a larger sociological dynamic where we s
