the effects will be devastating. it is a fight between the three branches of government, as to how to eliminate the sequestration and guess who is a.w.o.l.? missing in action, the president of the united states, who has decided that it's not his problem. it is his problem as commander in chief to take care of our nation's security. it is his first and foremost obligation. he has taken a hike. >> sean: not only does it hurt military pripairedness, but he is trying to hide what his policies are going to cause, hundreds of thousands of americans that will be off i. sure. >> sean: for his own political expediency. pretty outrageous. >> and his secretary of defense and the uniformed chiefs have testified consistently that this will devastate our national security. tell inhibit our ability to preserve this nation's security. what greater obligation does a president of the united states have? and he is saying, well, congress created this so they can, quote, wiggle out of it. this is a president who does not understand america's role in the world and requirement for a strong military. >> sean: senator, i'm going to be interviewing vice-president cheney later in the week, as you know, he had some comments about your selection for v.p., governor palin n2008. here's what he said. >> i like... governor palin. i have met her. i know her. she is an attractive candidate. but based on her background, she had only been governor for, what? two years? i don't think she passed that test-- being ready. >> being ready to take over. i think that was a -- a mistake. >> sean: i don't think the president passed that test either, but your reaction on it? >> no. i have admired and known dick cheney for years. i think he was one of the really outstanding secretaries of defense during operation desert storm and other work that he d. look, i just don't see the point to go back four years ago. i am proud of sarah palin. i am grateful for the way she energized our party and i will always appreciate what she did for our party and for our ticket. >> sean: all right. senator, one of the issues that comes back up from 2008, i am troont i to dig up old ground here, whether or not you could have been harder in fighting then candidate obama, in other words, you wanted to run a more respectable campaign, keep it focused on the issues. he ran a pretty negative campaign back then, but that was not the perception. let me show you two clips and ask you if you think the media in this country is in the tank for barack obama, where they in the tank for him then? are they in the tank for him now? governor romney in poland and the president being interrupted during a rose garden -- statement that he was making. >> governor romney, are you concerned about the mishaps on your trip? governor romney -- >> what about your dad? >> governor romney, just a few questions, sir. you haven't taken the three questions on this trip. >> it is the right thing to do. excuse me, sir. this is not time for question, sir. not while i'm speaking. and the answer to your question, sir, and the next time i prefer you let me finish my staims before you ask that question, is this the right thing to do for the american people. i didn't ask for an argument, i am answering your question. it is the right thing to do for the american people. and here's why. here's the reason. because these young people are going to make extraordinary contributions and are already making contributions to our societies. >> sean: pretty glaring difference, senator. you have a unique perspective because you went through this in 2008. explain the impact you think this has on the perception that people in this country have on their politicians. >> well, i think that the media bias towards president obama is just -- it's something we have to accept. it is the air we breathe in the political environment. we have to take that into consideration. i watched mitt romney's trip to europe. he was endorsed by the great hero of the cold war, lec walessa. the shipyard was where the whole overthrow of the soviet union began. prime prim netanyahu did everything but endorse mitt romney. they have known each other for years. they couldn't -- romney couldn't have been more warmly received. and at the same time, of course, the media treats him, as you just mentioned -- but it is what it is. the people like you can bring it to the american people's attention. but honestly, i don't think it's going to change. it is going to have to be part of what the romney campaign is going to have to put up with. >> sean: i think you are right. senator, as always, we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you? >> coming up, a rare apol yee comes down from the white house to our very own charles krauthammer. he's not apologizing for america, all over a bus. we learn more on what happened with this mea cullpa and chick-fil-a has been getting hit, all over the country by the left. but today, the restaurants were packed, lines out the door. people waiting two hours or longer to support the chain. we'll explain. then very serious allegations against the chinese team at the london olympics. are they cheating?

>> well, look, i made a very simple statement that obama had returned the bust of churchill that had been lent to the united states to the bush administration in the bush years. i thought it was unobjection unobjectionable. it was not the main point. it was about the romney trip and the slights that our allies have experienced from the obama administration, over the last 3 years. and then all of a sudden, i get this furious attack on the white house web site, which is not exactly, you know, a small megaphone, saying that i was pedaling ridiculous rumors and this was 100% false, eats set raand showing what appeared to be photographic evidence of the claim that the bust had not been given back to the brittings, but had had been moved to a different part of the white house. now when i read that -- that blog post, i was amazed because this is not something -- my statement was not something new t. had been around for years. the brits had written about it in 2009 t. turned out, of course, that the white house had made a mistake. it was returned. i called the british embassy and within hours, i issued a statement that the bust that was given by the british government in 2001, was now residing in the british ambassador's residence in washington. and that the bust was shown in the picture that was -- purported to be the one that we shifted from one part of the white house to the other was actually one that will be given in the 1960s and had nothing to do at all with the issue at hand and the sculpture at hand. >> sean: listen, you know what? it's gracious of you -- which, by the way, for those of us who know you, accepting their apology. let me move on. the polls, we pay attention to them. they now begin to matter. 97 days out of an election, they are beginning to matter. >> , especially in switck states, we see the pattern, where the democrats are over sampled, 9 point, 11 points, 10 points, latest poll, new york times poll, they electric at three swing states n. forda, okay, it's a pretty big margin, 6-point margin by barack obama, but they over sample democrats 9%. if you look at ohio, they over sample democrats by 8%. if you look at pennsylvania, not say state that governor romney has to win, closer, only 6%. what extent do you think this has an impact as we look at the models that will not exist in this election year? >> if i could just say one last thing, i want to say that i do appreciate the apology from the white house. it was i think a gracious one and the case is closed. i don't want to continue that. i want to make a claim -- i appreciate what was done. and it was unexpected and something that i think the white house can actually point to as an expression of its good will. >> sean: nice to hear them not apologize for america -- but i digress. >> those are separate issues. somebody said, i am theine entit on earth, that has received an apology from the white house. but i don't want to repeat. >> sean: don't repeat that. just between us. >> now, on the pols, i think the one that is suspicious here -- i say "suspicious" -- i am not implying conspiracy, is the florida poll. the over sampling was 9 points. the important thing is not the amount of over sampling of in thees over republicans, but the comparing the over sampling to what was in the exit polls in 2008. so in the state of florida, the actual turnout was 3% more democrats than republicans. so the poll that shows 9% more, you know it's skewed and probably wrong. the other two tairkts i think the over sampling of democrats is closer to what was the result in '08. so it's the one in the florida poll that i think is a little bit misleading. now i don't think there is any deliberate attempt to mislead by the pollsters. i think it's a matter of technique and how they decide who is likely and who you include, who you exclude. but i think there is one thing have you to remember, the most important thing in knees numbers is the enthusiasm for republicans versus the democrats. it is way up, compired to '08 -- compared to '08 among republicans and significantly down for democrats compared to '08. so even though you get someone speaking on the phone, that isn't anywhere nortelling you who will show up at the polls on election day. >> sean: charles krauthammer, thanks for sharing that story. despite the left's attempt to silence free speech, the patrons of chick-fil-a proudly all over the country today showing their support for that food chain. we'll explain how the liberal attack has backfired and then shocking reports have emerged from the white house indicating the immeasurable power wielded by obama, valerie jarrett. did she have the obama raid scrapped 3 times?

[ all ] i'm with scottrade. >> sean: freedom of speech and freedom of religion are under attack in america. over the last week, we have watched as the left has demonized the owner of chick-fil-a for daying to speak his mind about same-sex marriage, threatening to boycott and ban the fast-food giant. but today, supporters turned now the droves for chick-fil-a appreciation day, posting pictures on social media sites of packed restaurant, long lines, all across the country. while conservatives are supporting freedom of speech, the obama administration's assault on religious freedom is back on the forefront as the contraceptive mandate officially takes effect today. joining me more with the fight for freedom, angela mcglowen and tam raholder. do you believe in freedom of religion? >> yes. >> sean: you know the owner of chick-fil-a doesn't open on sundays? >> uh-huh. i agree with that. if that's his christian value, that's fine. >> sean: okay. he's following his christian values, states his position, the exact same position of barack obama -- >> exactly! >> sean: on same-sex marriage and people want to shut him down, boycott him, hurt his business. why does the left do it -- >> he's a hypocrite. >> sean: so he's consistent? >> no. for a libical expert to talk -- chiam not, but i am a student of religion, it is not just about anti-gay in the bible or sleeping -- a man shall not sleep with another man, but a woman wearing red is only -- >> we have to break it down here -- >> you can't wear clothing of two different fabrics. >> sean: one at a time, angela. >> why do i always get cut off because i am the liberal. >> sean: you were finished. stop whining. >> if they unbelievable jesus christ. that's number 1. it backfired on you guys. >> jesus christ, his last commandment was that thou shall love one another -- >> and thou shalt not judge. but if you are a believer, you have the right to state god's law. >> sean: we are getting off course here. >> i am a liberal. >> sean: that's obvious. we know that. he's practicing his religious views. to shut down the store every sunday -- >> that's great. >> sean: let me finish. he's practicing his religion. liberals want to hurt him because he doesn't agree with him. they didn't go after obama -- they didn't go after obama on the same position -- >> excuse me -- yes, he is -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: three weeks ago, he agreed with the owner of chick-fil-a. >> yes, he d. but he wanted -- ask reverend owens, my hero, the head of the coalitions of dprn pastor who is compared obam stojudas, saying he betrayed our community for the money. so after barack obama weighed in on same-sex marriage, george clooney raised $15 million. but going after dan kathy has backfire audio. >> sean: there were people who waited in line for two or three hours -- >> oh, my god. two to three hours for -- 400 calories, they have to be conservative because they are against health, a fried chicken sandwich, 5,000 calories? >> okay, nanny bloomberg. i like chick-fil-a. look at the lines. >> right. >> sean: i think you are misinterpreting what happened here. people are fed up with the idea that if you disagree with a liberal, if you are in talk radio, they want to attack your advertisers to shut you down. if you are on fox news, they want to do the same thing. liberals are the intolerant group. that is why americans showed up in droves today. >> true patriots believe in freedom of religion-- and freedom of speech. >> exactly. but they wanted freedom from religion, it's a travesty with an elected official enlists a boycott. for the mayor to enlist a boycott. it's our freedom to have a boycott. but for the law to do it, that's a travesty. >> sean: today this, very day, i would argue is a bad day for religious freement. there are many people of conscience that do not believe in abortion-inducing drugs and birth control. a lot of people who don't agree, tom harkin made a statement that birth control mandated because women have terrible menstrual cramps, a brilliant statement by your fellow democrat. here's the point. look america in the eye -- why should people that have their religious views pay the $9 a month for birth control or pay for abortion-inducing drugs? they didn't have the sex? why should they be forced by the government to do something contrary to their deeply held religious belief? explain. >> number 1 is because the employers are not churches and religious organizations as much as they are employers-- this is catholic institutions -- hospitals, charities. >> churches that employ thousands and thousands of people-- why should they be forced to go against their belief. >> birth control is not just -- it's contraceptive. it is used for many other reasons. >> sean: abortion-inducing drugs? [overlapping dialogue] >> the last one to make -- >> homosexuality, birth control, those are the key issues. >> sean: you keep interrupting, you don't worry the question. >> tam tamara, this is not birth control, this is government control. when you have catholic organizations and people who have beliefs and the government mandates that you pay for abortion-inducing drugs -- >> like what? >> the morning-after pill. >> that's not abortion inducing, it is before the egg has been fortalized -- >> you don't know that. >> you don't know that. >> scientifically -- >> you don't know when -- when -- >> the egg has want been fertilized-- we are getting -- the issue is it's about religious freedom. i would argue that today is the day that religious freedom in america, in many ways died. >> the left want to say that this is a war on women from the conservative side. this is a war on conservatives and a war on our religious freedom, to force a religious organization-- you know something, this is where liberals ought to put their money where their mouth is, if you want to pay for the morning-after pill and for the $9 to pay for a birth control pill and buy condoms, have you every right to do so, but to force people to go against religious beliefs tells me you don't believe in religious freedom -- >> you cannot point your finger in my face and tell me-- that's 4 feet away. >> i will put it closer to you. i do believe -- >> not if you want the government to force to pay for birth control -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: why don'tou liberals -- put your money where your mouth is. >> put the birth control pill in front of the counter, why does it need to be a prescription? why don't we do that? >> the bottom line is this, the federal mandate forces religious organizations to go against their moral conscience, to go against god. >> they are employers. >> sean: we have to end it here. thank you both. amazing showing around the country in the chick-fil-a, across the country. coming up, how powerful is obama? valerie jarrod. we have two new disturbing reports as we vet the president about the critical role that the former real estate agent plays. michelle malkin will sound off next. and the outrageous new attack that senator harry reid is launching against governor rom flee and his deceased father. how his father would be embarrassed by mitt romney. we'll explain, coming up. i'm serious, we compare our direct rates side by side to find you a great deal, even if it's not with us.

and she has his ear more than others? >> i think it's entirely plows plausible. and i believe that valerie jarrett doesn't simply share obama's views, she may be directing them. you may recall that three summers ago, i joined nut studio to talk about the research from culture of corruption. and the one leading figure on his team that i singled out was valerie jarrett. the self-proclaimed brain of obama. i mean, she was heralded at obama's brain from the time they were growing close and intimate together, politically and ideologically in chicago. this is the ultimate obama insider. and is tight not only with barack obama but michelle obottom aof course. and i think that what makes her particularly dangerous is that toxic combination of radical left-wing ideology, coupled with chago corruption. this is somebody whose name has come up many times in the house probes, committee members of the boondoggles in the billions that have been wasted on the crony companies and her name has been cited specifically in all of that. i think the other thing is that as you mention, she has become more and more visible as the campaign has dpn on. she joined twitter. and what was she crusading for? not only the disastrous tax hikes in a very dire economy, but also. ful. propagating all of this equal-pay myth stuff, to shell and panned tort left flank of the democratic party. >> sean: michelle, you are known as a fierce fighter, you don't back down. well, you are. little old you. >> yeah. you? >> are known as a fierce fighter. i am wondering what should romney be learning as he is experiencing these vicious attacks, the chicago way, if you will isn't president can't run on his record. that's all he has. they are attacking him -- bain capital, war on women, all of these things. if you had governor romney's ear, being the fighter that you are, what would you tell him? >> i think that in some ways, he's listening. we have talked about this in the past months about how he needs to drop the whole obama is a nice guy act. guess what? he did. there was a very encouraging report just in the last two weeks, reporting that some of his top staff have dropped that whole pretense and he needs to get tough. he needs to get tough, not only with team obama and the likes of valerie jaret and david axelrod, but also with the lap dogs in the media-- yeah! >> yes. the lap doggies, doing their best to tear this man down and to do exactly what the white house done over the last four years, which is to foist false narrative after false narrative on the american public. now that it has come to hurt and to damage and to really face obama -- face romney directly, i think he finally gets it, that the mitts have to come off. >> sean: one of the things have you done, have you chronicled the culture of corruption, the title of your number-1, best-selling book. it's done well for years. there is a new ad out, slamming the obama white house for going off site to meet with lobbyist, most transparent administration, they thought they were getting clever, they meet the lobbyists off site because he said there would be no lobbyists in his white house. they have met in a coffee shop. >> we have put in place the toughest ethics laws and rules of any administration in history. >> a lot of the members of the administration were meeting with lobbyists at caribou coffee and other places and at these places, they don't have to disclose on the white house visitor log... >> sean: what do you think of that? >> good ad. have you to hit him harder, even harder. and shed as much sunlight on the darkness that has reigned over the beltway under the obama administration as possible. have you to nail them on the hypocrisy, the coffeehouse loophole, which is what i called it when it surfaced a couple of years ago, is the tip of the iceberg. the evasion and the intentional obstructionism and lack of disclosure and the specifically, to hide how much the obama administration has been in bed with all the same corporate interests that they turned around in front of the cameras and trashed, all of this hand-holding of these corporate interests, in particular that valerie jarrett herself has had a hand in. looking at the white house visitor laws and the kabuki theater around obama patting himself on the back and practically breaking his arm to try to create, again, a false narrative, that somehow we have the most disclosure ever. it's alice in wonderland, it's bizarreland, it's the exact opposite. >> sean: michelle malkin. all right. thanks. plenty more to come tonight, right here on lant. the senate majority leader brings the language of the left to a new low with harry reid taking a swing at mitt romney and his deceased father. can it get any lower?

>> i absolutely believe it's all about race. and for the first time in my life, i have been able to convince my children, finally, that racism is alive and well. >> sean: obama truth team member. outspoken surrogate. not a peep -- >> you know what, sean namerica, we no long vertime to mince words. we have to call this what it is. these people are pathological liallying about mitt romney. this is the guy, the straightest of all straight arrows and they are trying to claim he didn't pay his taxes 10 years. they are going to lie about him. they have been lying all along to the faces of the american people. we have to call this what it is. the president is out there deliberately trying to undermine the free market and destroy the foundational principles of this country. we have to tell the truth because obviously, they are want. >> i think it goes back to the beginning of the show, the perception of our politicians in this country. what kind of standard are we setting? what are we going to tell your children? run on your merits or attack the other team? i find it disgraceful. >> sean: there is a reason that i keep mentions that the president said, republicans are looking for dirty air and dirty water. if the republicans win, he will stab granny, shoot her in the heart and then throw her over a cliff. they get away with it because the media allows it. then we have the absurd. the viciousness of the attacks. then, you know, they don't want to talk about the economy. so let's talk about shamis, romney's dog. >> mitt romney wants to be our president. but he's listed in two animal cruelty databases. he admits to strapping his dag to the roof of his car for a 12-hour trip to canada. pet abuse.com has cited him for neglect and abandonment. more than two-thirds of americans say it was inhumane. should we have a president who isn't even qualified to adopt a pet? >> sean: which dog would you rather be shamis, on the roof of the car that made it? or the dog that obama ate? >> ohhhh. >> look, anemic economic growth, for over 40 months of 8-plus-percent unemployment, but bain capital, dog on car, birth control, war on women. they are doing everything they possibly can to deflect the american people's attention away. >> looking at the best thing that mitt romney can do is step up before the american people and say, he's going to make this a business and friendly environment and put people back to work and-- exactly. i think that will resonate. that will resonate. >> get pro-growth policies in place. governor romney needs to talk about big themes. >> sean: we have to roll. coming up next, a chinese swimmer sets a new world record and swims the last 50 meters of her race, faster than the male gold medal winner, ryan lochte. is that possible?
