we've heard from the president, interior secretary, epa administrator, the home land security, coast guard officials and many more. where have they been all week. when the left slammed george w. bush for remaining in a class full of you small children after the 9/11 attacks for mere minutes. when he was accused of being a racist for refusing to land air force one in new orleans, after katrina because he believed it would interrupt rescue operations. now the anointed one is in the white house those critics have gone silent. joining me is steven hayes from the weekly standard and kirsten powers. welcome aboard. skier , explain last tuesday -- kirsten, explain, last tuesday this happened. all the criticism george w. bush got over katrina and he stayed with the school children too long. could they not have done something sooner? do they not deserve criticism for that? >> i can't believe you are comparing this to 9/11 or hurricane katrina. i don't see them as being analogous. you can criticize obama for not responding more quickly, i'm not sure what he could have done. >> sean: you're missing the point. george w. bush was brutalized because he spent an extra five minutes in a classroom after he found out the trade center was hit. he was brutalized because the federal government was two days late in getting to katrina and he didn't want to land because he didn't want to disrupt rescue operations. >> let me tell you the difference between those two situations. those are things the federal government had a responsibility for, the government. they were not a natural -- this is not a natural disaster. hurricane katrina was a natural disaster. 9/11 was an attack on the united states. in this situation the people who are responsible are the people who did the drilling. >> sean: you're wrong. responsibility -- no. >> barack obama should never have come out in support of offshore drilling which proves this >> sean: you are so far off base. the sole responsibility in this case when it is an oil snail going to impact our fishing industry, beaches, our shores, would be the federal government. the fact is they sat back for nine days and did nothing. the very same people -- >> what are they supposed to do? >> sean: the same people that were so fast to criticize vibe in the other two instances. >> -- george w. bush in the other two instances. >> certainly there's a double standard. for kirsten to suggest there's not, even if the situations aren't directly analogous is crazy. there's clearly a double standard. if this had been george w. bush as president we would be enduring front page pieces in the "new york times" about george bush and hill and dick cheney and halliburton. clearly a difference in the tone of coverage. i agree with kirsten there's not much the president can do. when you had assessments from the coast guard and bp that the initial spill may burn off, it was 1,000 barrels a day and kicked up to 5,000 barrels a day that's what triggered the action. i don't think if janet knapp knapp had been in louisiana five days ago -- >> sean: we saw the oil slick. we saw which direction it was coming. there's a lot we could have done to contain this. certainly, we should have sent people out there to at least assess the damage. assess the environmental impact. if they had acted earlier, there's a lot they could have done to contain it. they cordon off the areas where the oil slick is and have the ability to almost like vacuum out the oil as it was in the water. if they started nine days ago, stephen they would have had a much -- >> that's right. they could have done more. i think it would have had a minimal impact if you listen to the commandant of the coast guard the main problem now is with mother nature not with anything we could have done. the wind shifted. it is now blowing all of this towards louisiana. that and the fact they miscalculated initially the number of barrels per day, i think is one of the reasons that seeing the problems we are now seeing. >> sean: the other thing happening kirsten this is being politicized. nancy pelosi, four new jersey democrats, ben nelson. now the criticism we can't have offshore drilling. you see this is where i think fundamentally, our energy policy and the democratic party being beholding to environmental extremists if we had nuclear power if we drilled in and war which environmentalists are against, expanded coal mining which environmentalists are against. we haven't built a refinery in 35ers -- in 35 years, environmentalists are against it. we may make the case we wouldn't have to drill in an area like the gulf. >> right, environmentalists caused the oil spill. >> sean: no, they created our -- kirsten don't make my -- don't take my words out of context. nobody said that i said, environmentalists don't want us to do anything. >> extreme environmentalists don't want us to do anything. i don't think the obama administration is beholding to environmentalists if they were he wouldn't have come out in support of offshore drilling. there's a problem with drilling in some places. i'm from alaska, i support drilling, i have nwarog problem. i think offshore drilling is a separate issue. i think what just happened shows why it is a separate issue. when something goes wrong it is catastrophic. i do agree there's a double standard in the sense right, if this was george bush they would be getting more pressure. i don't know what else they could be doing. if it is true there are things they could be doing she should be doing. >> sean: they didn't send in people to condition taken the spill, waited nine days, did nothing. they did do something stephen, eric holder dispatched a team of attorneys so they can get ready to file criminal action and lawsuits. that they did do. they are going right for the money. right after big oil. >> you know what the priorities are. >> sean: of course they want to pass the blame on to big oil, right steve? >> president said that today himself. listen, this is a serious issue. they've got to be careful about that nobody thoughs this rig better than the people who have worked on it now for in some cases years. it would be a major mistake for the president and for the administration and for democrats in congress to start now going after bp prematurely. there's hearings scheduled for may 12th where democrats are likely to grill bp. they need to make sure first and foremost, they need bp's help in cleaning this up. >> sean: let me make a prediction this is going to result in less drilling in america. more dependence on foreign oil. we still can't build nuclear facilities. we can't expand coal mining. we will be paying much more in the future as a right of the overreaction of democrats who are beholding to the environmental movement. get ready for $6 a gallon gas that's what probably ahead. >> i think it is hard to dispute. >> okay i disagree. >> sean: we will have more on this story coming up. thank you both. plenty more hannity still ahead tonight this friday night. >> is that a pious view to you? >> sean: rosie o'donnell and mike huckabee go at it on radio the governor is here. >> it is time to list don't people. >> sean: governor crist tries to spin out of a tricky situation. shah heads to arizona to weigh in on the i am -- shakira heads to arizona to weigh in on the immigration controversy. historic state park shutdown wait until you hear why. carmen electra in studio. these are actual farmers who raise vegetables in campbell's condensed soup. so if you've ever wondered who grew my soup, well, here they are. ♪ so many, many reasons ♪ it's so m'm! m'm! good! ♪ in this. one day, i'll park this in a spot reserved for me. it's got 26,000 miles on it now, but i'm gonna take it to a thousand million.

>> no there was a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot voted on by the people. it was not something i initiated. i did support it. primarily because i felt like it was one more way in which we were moving away from the traditional definition of marriage. >> i think it is interesting for a guy that seems to have overcome a lot in your life. you have a lot of -- were you raised by in a poor family, right, you grew up sort of poor. >> right. >> you became a pastor and the teachings of christ is what you follow in your life. and i don't know, is that a very pious view to be -- is that a pious view to you mike? >> i don't think it is about piety. if with one is in fact a believer, and excepts the -- accepts the biblical norms are the nors we should live by. it is not a matter of being judgmental. >> sean: joining us governor mike huckabee. rosie o'donnell? are you out of -- >> am i out of my mind? it was a very respectful conversation. to her credit she was civil. she didn't try yell, scream, argue with me i think it was an honest conversation that the two of us had. no, we are not going to come to terms. one of the things that came out of it for me there is this understanding if you are a christian you are supposed to believe jesus says whatever you want to do is okay. people forget jesus was divisive. he caused people to have to make tough decisions about what is right and wrong. i don't think he did it with a sense he was hoping to make people mad but he did make people mad. >> sean: this came up in the course of the conversation. she's adopted a number of children. i don't know how many >> i think two children. i have no doubt she loves those children and she has the best intentions for them. it is not a personal thing this is not a big issue for me. i don't go around making this an issue. it is not something that is high on my priority talk about. >> sean: are you against gay adoption? >> i don't think it is the ideal. kids need a role model, a mother and father. as i told her, rather than try new ways to create a family we ought to work on the one that god gave us, having a mother and father, creating a generation and training them to be our replacements. i know people will say we don't have the ideal. still, kids need both the mother and father role models in their life. >> sean: i've made similar arguments myself. i think there are certain things that fathers offer children that mothers naturally don't. things that mother offer children. there's a difference. without going down that road. there's a story behind the story and how you got invited on the program in the first place. how is that? >> i was at the college of new jersey, a would have school over not far from trenton. there was an interview with a group of what i was told were college journalists. one was more of an activist than a journalist. he would ask me a question and i would answer. he didn't like the answer then he would start a debate. i would try to explain to him and give him more of an understanding of logically, why i held the positions i did. he took that, wrote a story, it got picked up by a lot of the blogs that support same-sex marriage. then the mainstream media picked up on it. they blew it up. rosie from it that that's how it happened. this kid had been arrested at an ann coulter speech. >> sean: i think we have that video. i don't know if we have sound this is him being arrested. he claims there was police brutality at the time of the arrest. the video showed there was no such abuse. he had dropped the suit. >> he was screaming, i can't tell if you have the audio up. you can hear him screaming and yelling and making a scene. he should have gotten an oscar for his performance this shows he a pattern of creating a disturbance and getting attention and publicity for it. it to me was not so much about same-sex marriage or gay drop shun. my position on same-sex marriage is the same that joe biden, barack obama, hillary clinton and voters in 30 states -- >> sean: is there a lack of tolerance for those that express their christian faith in their belief about for example, either the definition of marriage or controversial issue like gay adoption? is it predicated on this idea if you believe that and practicing your faith you mist be bigoted. >> it is interesting to me that i'm considered intolerant if i don't accept a new definition of marriage. but if someone doesn't accept the traditional marriage the only one we've had in 5,000 years of recorded human history, somehow that's a symbol of tolerance. i think the burden of proof is on those who want to change the institution. again, the real issue is, we are living in a day where the mainstream media can take a distort, manipulate it, distort it. this man released an edited version of the interview. >> sean: this has happened to me as well. we just had this in the last segment about this horrible oil spill. a number of people lost their lives in the explosion. more importantly, this happened last tuesday. only in the last two days the administration has gotten involved. why did i believe that if george w. bush were president, that this would be the biggest deal, slow to respond, slow to react? almost everybody is defending the president for doing nothing. wasn't it his responsibility? >> if katrina was george bush's responsibility this is barack obama's responsibility. you can't have two sets of rules. i think we clearly see we do. can barack obama go out with a bucket and start picking up the oil? no. but the point is, you made it very well, there has been a significant saort of gap between the time -- sort of gap teen the time of the accident and -- >> sean: some are saying this is barack obama's katrina? >> only if the news media creates it to be. it goes back to even my experience. the media can frame the issues and they can frame the cons text in which they are presented. if they don't say, where was president ? no it won't be his katrina. >> sean: governor good to see you. let not your heart be troubled. carmen electra coming up. our great, great, great american panel is next. while i was building my friendships, my family, while i was building my life, my high cholesterol was contributing to plaque buildup in my arteries. that's why my doctor prescribed crestor. she said plaque buildup in arteries is a real reason to lower cholesterol. and that along with diet, crestor does more than lower bad cholesterol, it raises good. crestor is also proven to slow the buildup of plaque in arteries. crestor isn't for everyone, like people with liver disease, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. you should tell your doctor about other medicines you are taking, or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of serious side effects. while you've been building your life, plaque may have been building in your arteries. ask your doctor if crestor can help and go to crestor.com to get a free trial offer. announcer: if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. awe >> sean: tonight on our panel he's a columnist of the "wall street journal" john fund. judith miller and a former reporter and host on fox sports currently host of nbc's ever popular poker after dark, the one and only leann tweeden is back. soon to be married. >> that's right, july 4th. >> sean: of all days. >> thank you. >> sean: your husband is an air force pilot. and really big and strong guy. all right, i was surprised at stephen hayes' reaction. nine days hailer the administration all of a sudden realizes there's a big oil spill in the gulf. now it is about to hit the shores of this country. >> already hit. >> sean: yeah it's already hit in the massive way. i'm thinking, if george w. bush didn't reaction -- didn't react for nine days it would be lead story on every newscast, every place, everywhere. am i right john fund? >> yes but the most important thing is regardless game game let's clean this up. the obama administration deserves fall for some things and bad luck in others. we didn't know the weather would change. we did know that the way you deal with an oil slick is well-known in science. you set it on fire. the light oil is burned off and the heavy oil drops to the ocean bottom that was not done. the 1990 oil pollution act requires that the federal government has to preposition all equipment that will cleanup an oil spill. they did not have enough equipment and did not get there fast enough. they could be blamed for not using the real science turning this into a fireball. >> sean: blamed for not reacting right away and knowing the severity of what this could turn into. >> let's blame bp they are the ones who said it was only 1,000 barrels a day. it is 5,000, five times that yet, bp they are working hard to clean it up. they should be. >> they are going to suffer lawsuits that will probably put them into court for decades. >> sean: eric holder has a team of attorneys. they did do that the administration. the first responders is eric holder the attorney. >> are you guys -- >> of course the company is at all. we don't know the facts. exxon valdez was a fine night amount of oil. this was an uncapped well we didn't know how much was going to come out. >> sean: we still don't know. >> and we did not do the due diligence to prepare for the worst possible outcome. we should have you set this on fire, we didn't. >> it is terrible too that taxpayer dollars are going to have to be used to help cleanup this spill. bp should be trying to cap that well. they say it may not be capped for a month, two months possibly! it could be worse than the exxon valdez spill. catastrophic for fishing, shrimp harvesters, it is going to be terrible. i think bp needs to be focused on capping that and we should start focusing on the coastal areas. >> sean: george w. bush spent four extra minutes with school children on 9/11 and was excoriated by the left. by almost every democratic politician in washington. four extra minutes because he was trying to figure out how to get out of that classroom gracefully on 9/11. beaten up to this day. two days late for hurricane katrina. incompetent governor, incompetent mayor. this happens nine days the same people that were critical trying to use this for politics, nancy pelosi, ben nelson, politicians in new jersey, they are saying we got to end all offshore oil drilling. >> i'm going to agree with steven hayes who says mother nature is at fault. sean i have to agree if this were george w. bush's administration this spill would be george bush's fault there is a double standard no doubt. however, i think we have to keep our eye on bp and perhaps halliburton. >> sean: as john was saying we better do everything we can do. you were saying right now all hands on deck. >> what do you want him to do? >> sean: when you have a catastrophe instead of eric holder sending lawyers perhaps they should have you been doing what john was suggesting. there are other means of containing oil. >> send the navy in. don't wait for bp to do it, do it. >> bp clearly has a role here too. >> we can send them the bill but let's have the navy do it. >> sean: we saw the images we were showing them here or days. >> at least this president didn't fly over the oil spill and say pretty big spill and move on. >> he hasn't gone at all he doesn't plan to. >> sean: that's a cheap shot. george bush didn't want to land because he didn't want to disrupt what was happening on ground. >> they have to shutdown everything, it is a big process. i can understand why he didn't do that >> sean: journalism in america is dead. and it died in the election of barack obama. we have a lot more with our great american panel. right over there, all right. we will continue.
