he has never faced a weaker opponent than sean hannity. left of hannity after he stepped up to fight john mccain? let's take a look. >> joining me now, arizona senator john mccain. senator, you know, i read the journal editorial. i am against the editorial. i read the weekly standard. i'm angry at them. the tea party didn't cause the debt crisis we have, the democrats and obama did. they didn't spend all this money to bring us on the brink of defau default, losing our credit rating. the democrats, the president brought us to this point. why are you attacking the tea party? >> first of all, i was reading from a "the wall street journal" editorial, not exactly -- it was basically attacking the idea that somehow if we shut down the government that then obama would get the blame, and republicans would triumph. i disagree. i think that the fact is that if we don't act in republican house, and i believe by the way that they will, at least i'm certainly hopeful they will, then the ball will be in president obama's court, and harry reid, who has as

but get him in a fox news studio, have him face down sean hannity, and he immediately looks like the o could do something as dangerous for america as picking sarah palin as a vice presidential candidate. hannity never let up on mccain. showed no mercy on the senator. enforcing him to rewrite himself on the tea party. so much for straight-talking john mccain. >> look, i -- i just want to make sure that we're on the same page in this regard. the president caused this problem, not the tea party. >> i agree. >> the tea party supported cut, cap, and balance. >> i agree. >> this president is not leading. >> the tea party, i admire, respect, and appreciate, and they're the ones that gave us a majority in the house of representatives so we can get something done. i'm proud and appreciative of them. >> then democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea party hobbit could return to middle earth having defeated mordor. >> this isn't about deficit reduction. important phone call i made. when i got my medicare card, i realized i needed

john mccain, war hero, prison camp survivor, versus sean hannity? r met a war he didn't support? and who's never met a war he was brave enough to participate in? indeed, hannity's combat cowardice is so controlling of his behavior that he has never even considered spending one minute of his life in military service. over air conditioned television studios are the most inclimate work environments sean hannity has ever experienced. john mccain has never faced a weaker opponent than sean hannity. what was left of hannity after he stepped up to fight john mccain? let's take a look. >> joining me now is arizona senator john mccain. senator, i -- you know, i read "the journal" editorial, and i'm against the editorial. i read "the weekly standard it" today and i'm angry at them. the tea party didn't cause the debt crisis that we have. the democrats and obama did. they didn't spend all this money to bring us on the brink of default, losing our credit rating much the democrats, the president brought us to this point. why not attack -- why are you attacking th

>> you want me to have no other friends than you sean hannity. >> sean: exactly. >> i obviously don't agree with his politics. i like him he's a true and little friend. he always has been. and he bought me dinner so i'm not going to say anything bad about him. >> sean: i don't want to silence the guy. if you said this stuff about democratic women. people would again, it is not new for you, call for you to be, you know -- >> they say that when i call for a lessening in these capital gains tax. they call me names. >> sean: i love when you go to these shows and they go to 40 years ago. >> right. >> sean: let's go where we are on in debt ceiling debate many first, the house deserves a lot of credit. they voted to repeal obama care. passed the ryan budget. now they did cut, cap and balance. they are holding strong the senate is squeamish wobbly republicans. why are they negotiating themselves? >> this latest thing from the gang of six is bad. one thing is definite is the tax increases. spending cuts more theoretical. congress will work those out this is the problem with the system this goi

but also to the sun which is the largest daily in london and yet sean hannity has yet to discuss this on foxtel and then bill o'reilly is defending them first time in april and of course you know james can say he had no knowledge and rupert can say he had no knowledge but you know were dark yes to what extent is this. is the murdoch media empire structured as a kingdom rather than a corporation and we're talking about you know a hereditary. whatever the word it i know it what it's all it's i mean it's almost feudal in nature you know that you have all these different division heads that report directly to rupert murdoch and you know i have heard many many times that those that are writing of age are publication of his they're hearing from him once a week and he has you know really absolute control you know obviously there's a board but they're his board and so he has an enormous american troy he built and he built that empire himself and in fact you know over the last year and a half in the press we've seen a lot of fighting between his kids about who's going to take over but it's not

that he's talked to bill o'reilly and sean hannity, but you've not been invited? that against him because what's happening is wrong and racist. all of this has been a learning experience for me. so in this process, even, i'm learning. i'm growing. i'm developing. i'm becoming stronger as a result of what many perceive to be a failure and that's why i can write this book now, they could have written years ago putting all of this outçó there and i know that i'm a witness. i'm a witness that you can fail your way to the top and i'm still doing it every day. >> at the beginning you talk about emerging out of a conversation that you had with cornell west. >> my friend. >> what does that friendship mean to you? it's a great question and thank you for acknowledging that and thank you for even noticing that because we don't do it for people to notice. we just love each other. >> right. >> in a deep bond and deep brotherhood. in that regard i'm honored to be on radio with him, honored to be his friend, and honored to be his little brother and honored to be on with him, but

here she is telling sean hannity she's where the voters are, no matter what the party leaders say. >> so you have been finding yourself at odds with the republican leadership. this is not making you popular with some members of congress. >> well, maybe not necessarily. all i know is when i talk to people about it across the country, that's what they said that they sent us there to do. do we want to change the arc of history or just go along? i want to change the arc of history. i want the country to turn around. i want to see us get it back. we won't get it back if we're nibbling around the edge. we will get it back if we change the arc of history. chris: andrea, i hear something there that's powerful. it's connecting the regular people, the base of the country, the regular people and their sense of conservative history, their conservative view of history. >> i think you're absolutely right. there's a new pugh poll that says people do not want to see their medicare, social security, i mean, not surprisingly, they don't want to see their benefits cut. they don't want to see tax increas

here is how you put it on sean hannity's broadcast on fox. >> this is not a surprise. this didn't sneak up on us in the last couple of weeks here, we have known about this since the day i got to washington, i have been talking about i, i think they deliberately let this thing go on because they were hoping to get to a last-minute situation so they could force us into a take it or leave it proposition, like they tried to do with the government shut down earlier in the year, like they did with the stimulus package back in february when he first took over, the reality of it is none of these policy prescriptions the president has written works, every aspect of life in america is worse than when he took over, unemployment is higher, interest rates, everything is worse. >> schieffer: do you really mean all of that literally, senator, that everything this america is worse? and i take it that it is all barack obama's fault. >> first of all, every president has to be judged by the times in which he lives. this president has now been in charge for two and a half years, okay? he

doris's them they win and same thing here in the united states if you don't if you don't have sean hannity on your side you have you got a lot maybe just the opposite he's endorsing people that he sees are going to win and he wants to curry favor. who is ever going to win the fact of the matter is we have more choice in our media today than we have ever had in the history of the entire work not in terms of the you could just in terms of the content you know terms of going the internet and there's a zillion different providers on the internet sure everybody this is this scandal which while in this specific case is fleet street fleet street generally british tabloids are notoriously you know push the edge off and go over the edge i don't know what decides to do with fox news. there are some concerns that was first of all you've got the guy who was the head of the jones of the wall street journal murdoch's crown jewel and his u.s. empire has has retired and shall we say and headed back to the u.k. where he may be a question in much media right these days you have two choices you have big corp

now up to new york and my friend and colleague sean hannity. >> sean: washington stuck in a stalemate the only way out is compromise by both parties that is the president's message tonight. he places blame once again on president bush. arguing the deficit was on track to top one trillion the year he took office and threatens a default, job loss, serious damage to the economy if the debt ceiling is not raised. he repeats the same tired lines where he wages class warfare, calling for more tax increases on the so-called wealthy. tonight the u.s. is one week and a day from reaching is borrowing limit. following the president's address, john boehner delivered the gop response insisting there is no stalemate in congress. and the american people will not accept an increase in the debt limit without significant cuts and reforms. the days of more spending and more debt are over for this country. early are today, two new and different proposals were offered up by harry reid. the speaker of the house boehner. as you heard from the president he's refusing to support any short term fix if it means

>> sean hannity it's a great night to be an american. priest and almost a rabbi. i am not sure. no one is to the right of me and look at these guys. >> we disagree on redistribution of wealth. >> i am an inpen department voice. >> did the republicans screw up, cunningham, by undermining each other with conflicting plans? >> this is the 30th year after ronald reagan took the presidency in 1981. we are seeing a theatrical act taken three decades. this is the moment. the next week or two the reagan revolution will succeed or fail in the next 13 days. >> i agree with you. >> you were a pollster for bill clinton. i am a strong critic of clinton. in the end republicans want 94 went kicking and screaming balanced budget deal 7 years cbo numbers and the country was better off because he made that deal. i don't see that sized barack obama. >> with the da gang of 6 proposal -- >> you don't know what the propose isal is. >> the republicans can never resist being swept into office misreading the election taking liberties and being pounded against th

hi, i'm monica crowley in for sean hannity. according to a senior administration official, the political landscape in egypt has changed and is changing. it is in our interests to engage with all parties that are competing for or the presidency. i wonder how the administration plans to engage with a group that flies its flag under the motto, "allah is our objective, the provefest is our leader, the qur'an is our law, jihad is our way, dying in the way of allah is our highest hope." while president obama and his liberal allies may be seduced by the renounciation for violence the stated objectives reveal its wishful thinking. the group seeks: >> nonetheless, the administration's latest move shouldn't surprise anybody who is paying attention. senator obama made his intentions clear on the campaign trail. >> i will meet not just with our friends but with our enemies. i would meet without preconditions. i think it is important for the united states not just to talk to its friends but also to talk to its enemies. >> enemies indeed. jo

this is sean hannity saying pick any two liberal women.is what i say about them. >> if you had a choice, gun to your head, which one is it? >> i hope sarah palin gets in so they split the milf vote. bachmann at least she is somebody who can read. she has a job of the she was a lawyer. she is in congress. she not someone who just sits there and reads the prayers on her blackberry like sarah palin. we are splitting hairs here. >> sean: i watched this. he has his head so far up barack obama, without using his vernacular, he wouldn't know an intelligent person if he saw one. he's got this really -- almost a dark agenda. hates god, hates conservative women, says anything. >> i think it is deeper than politics. i'm not dr. ablow there is something about him. he talks about sex all the time. did some woman in high school or now that looks like sarah palin blow him off? i think the reason why liberals are so angered by sarah palin and particularly women, are angered is because they are so deeply threatened to the far left. >> they look at women an

. >> this is the same woman sean hannity, at the end of 2009 rush limbaugh saying that he was creatingatmosphere. why? because he said he hoped obama's policies would fail. yet she can call conservatives suicide bombers and it is okay. what hypocrisy! >> sean: it is amazing. civility only works in one direction. the president can smear republicans as much as he wants. then elect s everybody on civility this is why we -- then elect s everybody on civility this is why we do this segment. for years the media got away with it, now they don't. which intensifies their hatred of fox news and radio. >> no question. we said this was going to happen. they are going to let everything fly between now and november of 2012. they are going to throw everything and the kitchen sink to get their way. i don't know if it is going to work, but they are going to try it. >> sean: we've got -- our country is going bankrupt. we have near -- just a little under five trillion of new obama debt. new entitlement program health care. medicare, social secure headed for bankruptcy. we are risking our aaa rating and c

i put sean hannity on the the ridiculist a clip of me on air which was edited to change what i said. of copying him. he went so far as to create something called the absurd you chart just to put me on it. look. >> you, sir, are nothing but a thief! because your segment, the ridiculist, is a clear ripoff of my on notice board. and for stealing my idea, i'm putting you and your ridiculis on my absurdu chart. >> words hurt, mr. colbert. words hurt. the idea that i'm copying you is redonculous. i cannot believe it you of all people say i am copying you when in fact, sir, that's right, sir, i'm going there, it has been you who has been koipg me for years. that's right. i said it. i you exhibit a. here you are on the cover of the current issue of "outside" magazine. like you ever go outside. but oh, wow, where could you have come up with the idea of being on the cover of "outside" magazine. could it be from me? one year ago, april 2010. there i am. look. i'm on the cover of "outside" magazine. not since i woke up disoriented smemer of toner in the kinko's have i seen such copying. far be i

. >> that was sean hannity and dick morris in february. wonder what they're thinking tonight.hree democratic districts in wisconsin heading to polls today, and at this hour, the results, they are definitely in. folks in the conservative green bay deciding for the first of nine recall general elections this summer. incumbent state senator dave hansen once thought to be one of the vulnerable democrats facing recall. tonight, he was able to knock off republican challenger. it is a major blow to his union busting agenda. we were monitoring results in two republican primaries. these are all real republican candidates. each winner goes on to challenge the other two democratic senators facing recall. wisconsin democratic party avoiding the otto yonkerman and not running any fake candidates. in a moment, john nichols helps us analyze those results. first, let's turn to the man from green bay. the winner of the election, democratic senator david hansen. congratulations. great to have you with us tonight. you're from somewhat of a conservative area. are you surprised at tonight's outcom

they are privately reaching out to sean hannity, brett hume of the "wall street journal," and conservativeators of the "national review," "the weekly standard," and other publications. no wonder they're so desperate, because the numbers show they're in trouble. in a new poll, 46% trust president obama more to make the right decisions on how to reduce the federal deficit. 34% trust republicans more. 39% were more concerned about an agreement that cuts too much from government programs. only 19% were concerned about an agreement that authorizes too much federal spending. let's bring in senior fellow at the center for budget and policy priorities, jared bernstein, who used to work with vice president biden. and also republican strategist ron christie. gentleman, where are we? ron christie, let me ask you. i pointed out, $4.7 trillion, the president put it on the table, the republicans didn't take it. let's go back to square one. if they're not going to take that first offer at that big number, what are they going to take? >> well, good evening, ed, and good evening jared. i think what the rep

senator demint, sean hannity, the "wall street journal," ran a big influential piece by a big-time investorg it would be better to go into default. they don't believe in expertise and sent the establishment guy down there and they think it's all made up and this is something they've been sent here to do so we don't know. boehner has -- they've got to get some democratic votes to do this. >> james, i would say that's a mischaracterization of their position in that they were not saying go to default. what they were saying is after august 2nd we wouldn't default because we'd have enough money to pay the principal and interest on the debt so it technically wouldn't be a default but it's worth pointing out in december of 2010, harry reid had the opportunity to raise the debt ceiling and i have the politico piece pulled up where he said he would rather wait until the republicans got in charge in the house to do it. >> they said if you didn't do it on a 2nd there would be plenty of money coming in. most people say that's not true. most experts say this is very, very dangerous thing. there's a sign

senator demint, sean hannity, the "wall street journal," ran a big influential piece by a big-time investorg it would be better to go into default. they don't believe in expertise and sent the establishment guy down there and they think it's all made up and this is something they've been sent here to do so we don't know. boehner has -- they've got to get some democratic votes to do this. >> james, i would say that's a mischaracterization of their position in that they were not saying go to default. what they were saying is after august 2nd we wouldn't default because we'd have enough money to pay the principal and interest on the debt so it technically wouldn't be a default but it's worth pointing out in december of 2010, harry reid had the opportunity to raise the debt ceiling and i have the politico piece pulled up where he said he would rather wait until the republicans got in charge in the house to do it. >> they said if you didn't do it on a 2nd there would be plenty of money coming in. most people say that's not true. most experts say this is very, very dangerous thing. there's a sign

and i think even republican voices like sean hannity understand and are arguing in favor of making sure that the country does not default on its debt. but i think what republicans feel like they've contributed if you will or what their part of the compromise was agreeing to let this country get deeper into debt. >> but from a republican perspective, nicole, where do you see the possibility for compromise? is compromise possible? i mean, if republicans are saying the line in the sand is absolutely no tax raising, how do you increase revenues? >> well, i think republicans are against raising taxes for some pretty good reasons. one, we're not an undertaxed country. two, raising taxes doesn't actually get at the cause of our deficits. our deficits are in part as large as they are because we haven't had any growth in years now. so i think republicans will make the case, and it will play out if not in washington, then in the presidential campaign in the next year. this debate about how to grow our way out of these deficits. but look, what's at issue at the moment is getting a deal done. and i

last night on my friend sean hannity's show on fox, let's listen. >> i don't anticipate that.r. this is, this is a standard answer i've learned how to give, which is, you never say never, but i've never ruled out being on "dancing with the stars" either. so, you know -- the eight ball i have in my desk that i use to make the big decisions when i was governor says, not so good. but there are a lot of ways you can make a difference. >> hoss cartwright. looking like hoss cartwright. >> he çis. >> nothing wrong with that. >> these good. forgeted ideology or politic. he has got the stuff to be a candidate? >> i think he's very talented. he scares me more than anybody else, but we are not going let the bush in 2012, it's not going to happen. >> why? >> it's just not going to happen. >> given a breather? -- >> it can't happen. >> i agree. but i think -- i think jeb is the stocking horse for 16. he is very, very good. he's an ex-clent govecellent go. phenomenal job turning florida around. and can pull the party in the direction it needs to go to a deal with a new 21st century america

. >> i have heard from you, sean hannity that president bush passed the prescription bill with no fundingbooks. you support these wars and we want to fight for our freedom. >> sean: as bad as president bush's last year was, his next year, the worst year he had, $450 billion. obama's debt this year deficit $1.65 trillion. >> and why? why? because we had to spend money in terms of everything from bailouts to stimulus to try to avert the idea that our recession would turn into a depression. >> sean: juan, i got to tell you something, this president has never -- donald trump said this, what big deal has he ever done in his life? what experience has he ever had to to run the biggest economy in the world except run it into the ground that we are going to lose your triple a rating. he ran is into the ground. >> everything that he tries to accomplish republicans act to obstruct and. >> sean: cry me a river style magazine they just want to beat obama and deny him an opportunity. >> it he had two years with pelosi and reid. >> it and was trying to do a bipartisan deal and work with conservative dem

anyway, a couple of weeks ago i put sean hannity on the ridiculist because a clip he showed of me whicheaning of what i said. mr. colbert took issue and accused me of copying him. he went so far as to create something called the absurd you chart just to put me on it. >> you, sir, are nothing but a thief! because your secretary the ridiculist is a clear ripoff of my on notice board. and for stealing my idea, i'm putting you and your ridiculist on my absurd-u chart. >> absurd-u chart. words hurt, mr. colbert. words hurt. now, the very idea that i am copying you is simply ridonculist. i cannot believe that you of all people say i am copying you when in fact, sir, oh, that's right, sir, i'm going there, it has been you who has been copying me for years. that's right. i said it. i give you exhibit a. here you are on the cover of the current issue of "outside" magazine. like you ever go outside. but oh, wow, where would you have come up with the idea of being on the cover of "outside" magazine. could it be from me? one year ago, april 2010, there i am. look. i'm on the the cover of "outside"

you've got conservative voices like sean hannity and other radio and tv hosts who also seem to understand are playing with fire if we talk about defaulting on america's debt. so there's not an outcry on the right to default. but i think there are some voices who are, you know, probably politically motivated and they're speaking to a real sense among some republicans who feel like they got duped with those bailout votes in 2008. there are people who have real buyer's remorse about the steps we took as a country to bail out wall street in 2008. i think it's the hangover from that that you're seeing reflected in the few voices that are calling on us to call the president's bluff, as the president said in that meeting last night. but i am heartened by the fact that all the leaders in congress, responsible voices like tom coburn, who i know spends a lot of time on this network defending the republican views, are also still talking about doing something more meaningful after we get away from this crisis, and that's some tax reform that would include closing the loopholes but also lowering rates

reporter: sarah palin has been watching this from the side lines but last night she told fox's sean hannitycision by august. >> i would offer myself in the name of service knowing confidently that i have those common sense fiscally conservative pro private sector policy experience and ideas that can be put to good work for this country. >> reporter: now if palin were to get in, that obviously could really slow down bachmann's rise. if palin gets in, erica that could change in, i'm not talking about moving pieces around on the chess board, that would turn the chess board completely upside down. we'll know soon enough. >> yes we will. we bring in cbs news political analyst john dickerson. good to have you with us this morning. quickly when it comes to sarah palin she said she's going to say something soon, probably august. do you think she's made up her mind at this point? >> it's hard to know with sarah palin. we have the periodic moments where she disappears for a little while and comes back on the scene. she's on the cover of "newsweek" magazine. she's hinting and flirting, seems like she'

last night two powerful republican senators spoke to sean hannity and they say it is the democrats standingebt deal. >> the problem is our senate colleagues and the president want to tax more and spend more and not less and reject anything you send toward them that actually reduces spending and would change the debt course of america. bill: it starts with the budget and the senate democrats have not passed a budget since april 29th of 2009, 819 days, that is why we are here and we have seen this incredible run-up in spending, the last couple of years since the president took office and you talked a little about the economic record and, you look at the debts gone up 35%, unemployment up 18% and health care costs up 19% and gas prices are up 100% and that is his record. alisyn: on the flip side democratic senate majority leader harry reid weighing in from his corner calling the debt plan coming out of the house today a, quote, big, wet kiss for the right wing. bill: and meanwhile prominent members of the tea party movement turning their criticism, some of them, to speaker boehner and calling

nominee telling our very own sean hannity that she's still thinking about it and that a decision could come in the next few weeks. chief political correspondent carl cameron is live for us in washington. so carl, palin waved her flag for 2012 again. what exactly does this mean? >> she's prove once again that just the slightest utterance can scramble the thinking about what it might be for the presidential campaign in 2012. palin said last night as she has been consistent in saying, that she is still thinking about running for president, she is still wondering if there isn't perhaps some other great conservative leader who might emerge and take the role, that if no one does, she still considers herself a possible contender. here it is: >> now, i'm not wholly confident that we have that filled set yet, that that one individual is in the fill, so i'm thinking about being one who would offer myself up in the name of service, knowing confidently that i have those common sense, fiscally conservative , pro private sector policy and experience and ideas that can be put to good work for this co

here's what republican senator mike lee of utah told sean hannity just last night. >> he's not being honest, and he's overlooking the fact that when you raise taxes on that group of people, you're raising taxes on the very people we need to rely upon to invest their money to place it at risk so we can create jobs in this country. moreover, the tax increases that he's talking about wouldn't even put a dent, not even a scratch on dent in the deficit problem that we have. jamie: well, republican congressman jim jordan of ohio is the head of the conservative republican study committee, and he says the plan does not meet the standard set by the cut, cap and balance plan that had already passed the house. and republican congressman jeff flake of arizona says he's still undecided on boehner's plan but said some of the details are troublesome. bill: we're going to watch all of this, and it's going to move a lot over the coming day. lawmakers on both sides will be holding news conferences on ways to prioritize the payments and the debt spending, so we will talk to the vice chair of the house

kentucky senator ranlds paul talking with sean hannity ex -- nor rand paul explaining why he would vote against the boehner plan. >> it will add $7 billion to the debt. it doesn't change the course we are on. if we froze spending. if we didn't spend any more money next year than we spent this year. washington would count that as a $9.5 trillion cut. why? because we are going to add $9.5 trillion to the debt. when they tell you they are going to cut a trillion, it's from proposed increases in the debt. it isn't meaningful. bill: paul says there are perhaps as many as 14 republican senators who will vote no on the boehner debt deal fit makes it out of the house. martha: it has been a tough week for investors if you looked at your 401k or the market. the dow has been down for five consecutive days losing nearly 500 points. that's a decents chunk. that's almost 4% of the market value for the dow jones industrial. it puts it on track to be the biggest weekly loss in more than a year. and there is more bad news on the economy. let's bring in stuart varney. the gdf number pretty ugly. >> there

. >> sean: tonight on a special edition we continue the hannity primary. we are giving the candidates each a half hour to layout their views. later, you are going to hear from herman cain the businessman shaking up the race. even though he has no political experience he's going to tell us his background. first, one of the latest candidates to officially declare is minnesota's michelle bachmann. >> i stand here in the midst of many friends and many family members to announce formally, my candidacy for president of the united states. i want my candidacy for the presidency of the united states to stand for a moment when we the people, stand once again for the independence from a government that has gotten too big and spends too much and has taken away too much of our liberties. >> sean: why did you get into politics? when did you get involved? >> i got involved in 1998. my husband and i had five biological children also raising 23 foster children. >> sean: what was the most you had in the house at one time? >> we had nine kids in the house. >> sean: we have t

. >> sean: welcome to this special edition of hannity. with the debt limit debate raging are getting more us from with our elected leaders in washington. for the next hour frank luntz will be in washington, d.c. bringing the voters together with america's leaders. >> over the next hour you will learn more about the deficit, the debt, medicare, spending all the issues are that affecting washington today. you are going to learn it from the american people. we are going to be using these patented dials. the higher they react the more favorable they feel about what they hear if they dial it down, you know they don't an with their elected officials. what is unique about this is, not only are you going to hear from the people making the policy, but you are going to hear from the american people who have to live with that policy. i'm proud to begin with kevin mccarthy. you are the whip, the one responsible for getting this legislation through. my question is, you know how divided we are. you know there are challenges between the house, senate, w
