News contributor karl rove. How are you . Fabulous. How are you . It seems like a lot of people are going to get in. Yeah, i suspect thats accurate. Lets not make too much of this Facebook Post because paul ryan has a leadership pac, marco rubio has a leadership pac, rand paul, rick perry is meeting this week every night with bundlers in austin where hes having them in for dinner. We have santorum exploring, huckabee, theres 22 people. Is that the actual number . It was 23 until rob portman said, im not going to run. But there are 22 who are talking about it. Virtually every one is taking steps that would indicate theyre seriously contemplating it and doing things maybe havent gotten into the final decision. Because youre so closely aligned with the bush family and you served george w. Bush, are you supporting jeb bush . Im sitting on the sidelines. I do know this from my association with the bushes. He said i will not make a decision i was at the beginning the one employee of the bush prepresident ial campaign, our chairman was james a. Baker iii, a young houston attorney. But the senior bush said, im not going to make a decision until after the 1978 election. And he didnt. Then george bush said i wont make a decision after the 1998 election. And it wasnt until the time between christmas and new years that he went away and made the decision. If jeb bush says im not going to make a decision until after the first of the year, we wont have a final decision until after the first of the year regardless of whether he did a leadership pac today. This is what he had to say that he wont change his views if hes going to run for the primary. If i was to run, i would try to persuade people i wont change what i believe. My beliefs, i think, are good, solid, mainstream conservative thought. Winning with purpose, winning with meaning, winning with integrity. Rush limbaugh said today hes being looked at as a savior for the big money, establishment of the party to head off the tea party. Reaction . Thats rushs opinion. Lets wait and see what jeb bush says. I think hes absolutely right. I think every candidate ought to follow that same advice, which is be in the primary who you are and be that same person in the general election. Richard nixon convinced the Republican Party for a period of time that they needed to be one thing in the primary and somebody else in the election. If youre a democrat run to the left in the primary and get back to center in the general, if youre a republican run to the right in the primary and come back. That my have worked at some point. I dont think so, but it may have. But today that eats away at your authenticity. People are paying attention to this process, particularly on the republican side. These candidates will be subjected to a lot of scrutiny, and by the 2016 general election, if youre one place in the primary and someplace else in the general election, the independent and swing voters we need, you know what . Can i really trust you . Havent we already seen this from one guy who said something during the general election and governed at a different person. I want authenticity and what you said in the primary i want it in the general election as well. I was reading a lot of social media today. A lot of conservatives, big part of the Republican Base dont like his position on common core, dont like his position on immigration. A lot of references were made to an article that he was consulting with john mccain who is viewed as very establishment on how to deal with the conservative wing of the party. Well, this goes back to the nature of any candidates message. The question will be for every single candidate, what do you say and are you persuading people to be with you . Because there are a diversity of opinions inside the Republican Party on a whole range of issues. There are things that each and every candidate will offend this and that element of the party. The clarity of a candidate in describing who they are and what theyre about and more importantly describing what they want to do is whats going to allow them to unify enough of the republican primary in order to win the general election. Take for example in north carolina, there was a selfdescribed tea party candidate, there was a selfdescribed social conservative, there was the so called establishment republican who ran on the message of heres what i believe and he got enough of the tea party vote and enough of the social conservative vote to win the nomination and thom tillis will now about senator. I think from my perspective, because conservative governors have great track records to run on. High unemployment when they took over the states, they lowered the unemployment rate, scott walker, rick perry, kasich, nikki haley. Almost every governor Mike Huckabee can point to that record, john kasich, jeb bush. How does hillary do that . Well, look, i wrote my column about this last week, what is the Hillary Clinton message . Is she a better candidate today than she was in 2008 . I dont think so. I was talking to a guy today who said she was the best candidate when she ran for senate here in new york and shes gotten worse in each time shes gone out after that. Karl rove, good to see you. Well be watching. Merry christmas, incidentally. Merry christmas, youre allowed to say it on this network. I say it everywhere. Its close to my birthday. It is your birthday . December 25th. Two cap ra corns. Come to my birthday party. Joining me with more on the jeb bush announcement is former florida congressman colonel alan west. Whats your take on all this . I think when you look at by the time we get to 2016 were going to have a country thats 20 trillion in debt, a massive bureaucratic administrative regulatory state. The last thing that we need to see is a Big Government progressive republican running against a bigger government progressive socialist democrat. So the Republican Party has to be able to make a clear delineation between their vision and their goals and objectives to turn around the fundamental transformation of america. I think the challenge for governor bush is going to be his policies on illegal immigration and also common core. How big a challenge . I think its going to be an immense challenge because i dont think that youre going to be able to go out and win president ial nomination without really, you know, i dont want to say kowtowing to, but fiscal responsibility, individual sovereignty, free market and Free Enterprise system and our Strong National defense because our militarys being decimated. Those are five key points that any republican nominee is going to have to stress. Im very disappointed in john boehner in the house. For example, he had to go to barack obama, joe biden, steny hoyer and harry reid to get this deal. He didnt talk to any of the conservatives in his caucus when he made this cromnibus bill last week. Whats missing to me with john boehner, why not push a cr to fund the government to the new year, use the new majority, talk about balancing a budget, talk about Energy Independence, talk about an alternative to obama care, they funned obama care for the entire income year. Talk about securing the borders. I dont know where he stands. Hes not inspiring anybody as a leader who is about to accumulate a lot more power as they have the power of the purse. That to me is a huge unforced error. Yeah, youre absolutely right. Thats the fear as we move forward toward 2016 election cycle. We have to have republicans that understand the fundamental conservative principal base and what john boehner did was use a cr to get us into the new year where you have that Senate Majority and House Majority to really get back to regular order and talk about prioritizing the bills by agencies. Weve lost that. Half of the new Congress Wont be able to do anything. Lets look at the field as karl was describing it, senator cruz, rubio, kasich, walker and a few others, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum in the race. Who do you think has the greatest possibility of breaking through . Who are the top three who you like whose names are being mentioned . I will tell you you got three categories of individuals, you have governors, you have senators and then you have the others. Theres talk of course, ben carson. Mike pence. I dont think Marco Rubio Mike pence is one of those in there. I dont think marco rubio will go forward because you cant have two senators out of miamidade county. Scott walker who has won three elections in four years and impressive what hes done there in a very blue state in wisconsin. He has to be at the top of that as well as, like you said, mike pence and a john kasich as well. Appreciate you being with us. Thank you. Analysts are here to handicap jeb bushs odds. Question of the day. Do you think jeb bush can win the republican nomination . Do you want him to win the nomination . Go to facebook and twitte twitter seanhannity. 130 students are dead after a talibanled assault on a pakistani school. That comes after a deadly standoff in sydney, australia, between police and an islam sheikh. Well ask Mohammed Siddiq that question. Why do i cook for the holidays . To share with family to carry on traditions to come together, even when were apart in stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and more, swanson® makes holiday dishes delicious bob dole or john mccain or mitt romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on election day, which is what happened for all three of them. If we run another candidate like that, Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Thats senator ted cruz. Here now to break down jebs chances is Fox News Contributor pat goodell and larry sabito is with us. Both of these guys we havent had them on, were deadon accurate. You and i were the same, i think we missed by one. The eight pickups. You and i were in full agreement. Although i had it a toss jaup in new hampshire. Pat, you were pretty deadon accurate, too. I was dead on. Okay. Did you pick all nine senate seats . I did, actually. Good for you. You heard what ted cruz said. I was reading a lot of social media today. A lot of people talked about common core, immigration, the core base of the Republican Party did not seem satisfied, energized by jeb bushs announcement today. Larry, how do you analyze that . You know, sean, i saw the very same thing. I was surprised at the degree of opposition to bush, although you have to consider whos on social media and who is motivated to post a comment. But if bush does indeed run, remember, hes only at 80 . They hasnt fully declared. If he runs he has a tougher time than his father did or his brother did in 2000 although they didnt have cakewalks. The Republican Party has changed. You have tough candidates that wont back out just because jeb bush gets into the race. Also, sean, this is going to be potentially the fifth nomination of a bush on the republican side for president in 28 years. Its totally unprecedented in american history, which doesnt mean that it cant happen, but it is unprecedented. You think that work against him . Well, i think it makes it tougher. I think he has to go through a trial of fire. The issues of common core and immigration will be big problems in the primary. If i were to look into my crystal ball today, i would argue that one of these governors that were talking about, pence, walker, kasich, one of the governors i think has the better shot this time. Just my gut. Reaction . You know, i think youre right. But jeb bush is more than a governor. Im going to totally agree and rick perry, by the way. I didnt mention. Rick perry. But i want to come back to something which larry said and you talked about last week that i was up in arms about. Theres a roiling in the american electorate, i dont mean just the, quote, definition tea party, im talking about the whole basic grass roots of the Republican Party. The revolt against washington. Last week the republicans win a huge victory. They come in, and they throw their voters under the bus. The first thing we got to do is give the banks a bailout and make their contributors able to shut the system down even more and all these deals and, as you said, which i agree, i always thought the test was are you going to go give them nine months fully . Are you going to fund the whole government . They did. And heres the problem with that. The grass roots is saying, what are you doing . Youre supposed to change things. And the establishment core of the Republican Party, which runs the Republican Party, they are basically bushs supporters. Thats what youre seeing. Thats what Rush Limbaugh says. I like bush. I think hes an able man. A little more difficult for the very reasons that larry mentioned, weve had a lot of bushes in the last 28 years. I do think that hes his own man. He was a great governor. Nobodys taking that away from him. But look at what boehner did, larry and boehner going to obama, biden, steny hoyer and harry reid and not talking to his conservative base, funding obama care for the full year, kicking the can down the road, not taking advantage of the leverage of his new power. That angered a lot of conservatives including me. Why not take the victory and run with it and come up with a bold vision for the future of the country and explain what conservatism means and how it will get americans back to work and Energy Independence and an alternative to obama care, securing the borders. Its not that hard, larry. Yeah, and look, translate that into the president ial race on the republican side. What does it equal . A populist movement, a populist revolt, call it whatever you want to. Yes. And there are candidates there, cruz and paul are only two of them, who can articulate that and capture that lightning in a bottle. This is going to be the heck of a race. This is not one of those races that you can easily predict in advance. But is it a case where theres so many conservatives running that they split the vote, opens up the door so either christie or jeb bush that are being viewed more in the middle, that they get through . Well, its possible. Some of those candidates are going to dry up quickly. Their moneys going to dry up. Theyll be out. Weve seen this movie before. Right. And pretty quickly, youll be down to three or four candidates at most, at least serious candidates. Last word, pat. Yeah, i think the real question is and bush has not been running in these polls very well, even in florida, against hillary. But i think the real problem that he has, you just put your finger on, somebodys going to run against the establishment. He is the establishment. Thats where the money is. Yes, hell get a billion dollars. But im telling you the messaging of what larry just said, when ive been saying, the populism in this country, which is really across the board and in the Republican Party and the alienation against the Political Class in washington makes him a very dubious candidate. This is the most open nomination since 1940. If they dont have a governing vision, they might have gotten away with it in this election, but theres an expectation that theyre going to begin to solve americas problems, start to balance the budget, okay, whats your plan for health care . Whats your plan for the border . These guys are going to have to lay their cards on the table and inspire people to support them. If theyre inactive the next two years, it will hurt whoever is candidate is. You agree with that last thought . Yep. Its not simply enough to run against obama and say everything he did is bad. They have to present a Good Alternative that energizes and exciting people. Good to see you. Merry christmas. An attack leaves more than 130 School Children dead. This following a radical standoff in australia. Our guests respond. I quit smoki. I had tried to do it in the past. I hadnt been successful. Quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking.

Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some people had seizures while taking chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away.

Horrific story out of pakistan. A talibanled attack on a school in peshawar left more than 150 people dead earlier today. According to pakistans military, 132 of those victims were children and another 9 were staff members. The assault began early Tuesday Morning when several members of a Facebook Post<\/a> because paul ryan has a leadership pac, marco rubio has a leadership pac, rand paul, rick perry is meeting this week every night with bundlers in austin where hes having them in for dinner. We have santorum exploring, huckabee, theres 22 people. Is that the actual number . It was 23 until rob portman said, im not going to run. But there are 22 who are talking about it.

Horrific story out of pakistan. A talibanled attack on a school in peshawar left more than 150 people dead earlier today. According to pakistans military, 132 of those victims were children and another 9 were staff members. The assault began early Tuesday Morning<\/a> when several members of a Taliban Group<\/a> all wearing explosive vests stormed the school and began shooting at random. Now pakistani troops quickly arrived at the scene and exchanged fire with the attackers until the school was cleared out. According to one local hospital, most of the victims were between the ages of 10 and 20 years old. Pretty unbelievable. Sadly, this comes one day after a jihadist gunman held more than a dozen people hostage for 16 hours in a cafe in sydney, australia. Here with reaction the imam siddeeq. Another two days and two campbells of radical islamists using your religion to commit acts of terror. This is happening again and again and again. What i dont see are the voices of moderate muslims joining together loudly condemning and going to battle against these extremists. Why dont we see that . After all these terror attacks. Why . First of all, sean, gods name most merciful, lets identify this correctly. Everybody that reported what took place in sydney said this man had a serious mental problem and had been on the list, the watch list in australia for a long time. And as far as whats going on with the taliban, they are just totally off the hook. You cant contribute that or lay that at the feet of islam. Are they off the hook in saudi arabia, are they off the hook in saudi arabia where they practice shariah law the are you going to condemn all of radical islamists that treat women the way they treat them and kays and l gays and lesbians . Thats a pretty big youve given me a pretty big task there. Yes, because its a pretty big problem, imam. Its a worldwide problem. Its a huge problem. We condemn what has taken place in sydney. We condemn what took place in pakistan. I dont see this happening in the christian community, the jewish community, the buddhist community, radical islamic terrorism is now the scourge of the world. Well, you can pick out what you want. Dont forget we had a serious killing where a man shot up his motherinlaw, his sister, his wife, his children okay. So this is organized, orchestrated. Sympathizers, lone wolves, you have calls for lone wolves to act and you have, under shariah law, the oppression of innocent men, women and children. This is happening under this is happening in the name of your religion. If it was my religion, id be real angry. Yeah, were angry and, first of all, were grateful for you giving us an opportunity to at least reach out and try to explain our position. We are outraged by what has taken place using the name of islam billion muslims and that this is a small mirnlt but you have entire countries where women are imprisoned under shariah law and the radical terrorist the biggest radical terrorist movement is in the name of islam. And i dont see the moderates joining together to take back their religion, which is being hijacked. I think its time, dont you . Look, first of all, you cant hijack islam pu can get on the bandbaggen and use no, not islam. The name may be hijacked but the religion is not hijacked. Doesnt the koran talk about jihad and holy war and not taking christians and jews for your friends. Isnt that being taken literally by jihadists to justify the treatment of mirnnorities and women but people of other faiths . Not necessarily being used by jihadists, but those who dont understand their religion, people who use it as an excuse to unleash their anger on. But they say theyre practicing your religion. They can say that just like i can put on a pair of camouflaged clothing and say im a part of the United States<\/a> army, but am i really a part of it . So what im saying is theres a problem. But the problem is not necessarily tied to the religion of islam. Its tied to the use of the name islam. Maybe does the koran need to be modified in this sense that all the koran is jihad, holy war, christian and jews, infidels maybe be interpreted and let islamists know this is a misinterpretation or you cant take a literal interpretation or explain to those who practice the faith what its really supposed to mean . The koran is perfect in its presentation. Perfect. Take neither christians or jews for your friends is perfect . Remember, we went through that and even doctor when he was here. Holy war, jihad . Thats interpretation. Thats a misunderstandmisunders the koran. The koran is crystal clear. So its okay if the koran says dont take christians and jews for your friends. Im a christian, its okay to be friends with me . Its telling you right now, dont take imam siddeeq to run hannity show. You can speak out about the hannity show and you wont be beheaded or viewed as an apostate. We all know that the penalty for apost civil is death. You can speak out about islam. You can go into a Public Square<\/a> in iran and speak out against islam or in saudi arabia . I doubt it. A radical person and an irresponsible person is going to be irresponsible no matter where he speaks out at. Theyll be killed. They may be killed, but not killed by muslims. Theyre killed by confused people. Thank you, we have to run. Thank you, sean, for inviting me. Colonel ralph peters. Whats your reaction to this . Sean, the grotesque and tragic joke, the members of the taliban or Islamic State<\/a> or al qaeda would execute the imam for being too liberal. He can apologize and make excuses all he wants, but this terrorism were seeing is one facet of islam. And islam is now facing the greatest crisis since its founding decades. This is a multisided, multilayered struggle about the soul and future of this religion and whether its our president thats saying this isnt islam or the imams saying it, when youre in denial, you cant fix the disease. The imam probably means well, but if he wants to save his faith, he needs to deal with it honestly. Is the problem the koran in as much as how its written and how its interpreted . Because this is not a small problem. This is a worldwide problem. You know, you see it in pakistan today, australia yesterday. We know what weve dealt with in the United States<\/a>. Then we also see countries that live under shariah law and how they impress people and the interpretation. How apostates are treated, people of other religions are treated. Isnt it a much bigger problem than just terrorism . It certainly is especially if youre a woman to one of the most oppressed countries but the problem is interpretation because all religious texts are interpreted. I personally, among my jewish and christian friends, i dont know many jews that live according to all the tenets of leviticus. I dont have many christians who live up to every standard of sermon on the mount. Just as christianity was born with passive martyrs, jesus christ, st. Steven, et cetera, islam was born fighting. Its initial heroes are warriors. Thats whats taught to children. Islam does have contextual problems to deal with. All religions can change, but we cant change it for them. We cant fix it. We are not to blame for islams problems. Colonel, thank you for being with us. Coming up next tonight on this busy news night i would hope that we would not stand in judgment in such harsh judgment of a moment in time where somebody was hacked.

Lst week we first reported on the sony hack emails and a conversation between sony executive amy pascal and producer scott rudin. Countless celebrities are not rushing to the defense of the president , nope, theyre sticking by their pals at sony. We do have, for example, an email between the sony chief executive and this hollywood producer where theyre making racially tinged joke about the president of the United States<\/a>. Yeah, im so much less interested in a tasteless joke than i am in a massive invasion of privacy. I would hope that we would not stand in judgment in such harsh judgment of a moment in time where somebody was hacked and their private conversations were put before the world. It doesnt affect you at all. Theyre not doing anything illegal. Theyre not trying to fool you, the consumer. Theyre having private correspondence with one another. So the sony execs are getting a free pass from the left. Here to respond Juan Williams<\/a> and dory murdoch. Im listening to oprahs comments, if it was mark levin or me or glenn beck, im sure shed say the same i hope we dont stand in judgment. The fact that she makes movies has nothing to do with her opinion here, huh . Man, this is so ridiculous. I understand about the invasion of privacy point, sean. I agree with that. But lets be honest. I do, too. But lets be honest, the kind of things they were saying about president obama, oh, hes black, so hes going to just like black movies, you know, kind of low brow kevin hart comedies, slap stick, thats what this harvard educated lawyer will like, how racially demeaning and saying hes no bigger than the black guy singing on the i think thats ridiculous. To me a sign of liberal hypocrisy. Now niece folks have formed the circle around their buddies at sony because thats their business, its the hollywood industry. But theyve formed a circle around liberal hypocrisy. This is a night we ought to mark in history because i agree with everything you say there. I saw django unchained, twelve years a slave and the butler. All great movies. And you can learn from them. Oprah likes to make movies and doesnt want to alienate sony executives. Thats part of it. We do have an invasion of privacy for sure, but theres a difference between an attempt at humor, maybe not a good one between friends versus the conversation we saw with Donald Sterling<\/a> and his girlfriend where he said ugly, nasty, Disgusting Things<\/a> about black people smelling bad and attracting vermin and therefore he didnt like to rent to them. Thats different than saying obamas black i found the whole thing distasteful and insulting. What if this was a hack of a prominent conservative. I think the folks giving pascal and rudin some slack would not give the same slack if you and Rush Limbaugh<\/a> or any other people on the right were saying, i wonder if obama would like these movies. But a twoway street. Thats the thing. Conservatives dont talk like this, even in private, juan. I find the whole thing insulting. But you wouldnt have any kind of slack if you did. Ive got to wonder on the political side, is it because hollywood gives a lot of money to democrats and then in the liberal media ranks those that want to make movies if theyre looking at their longterm interests by not taking a stand on this . I think chris rock was right. Hes got a new movie out, and he said the other day, you know hollywood is a white industry. I think he should have said a white liberal industry. Remember, these folks were going to a democratic fundraiser. So they were going to contribute money to obama. But they didnt want to go. They kind of felt compelled. It was like they were forced to go. Jeffrey stupid griffiths. I think they were glad to have their money. They were glad to have their picture with obama and all that, but they didnt have any idea what to talk to him about. But instead of saying whats going on in terms of world affair, the mans the president of the United States<\/a>, like him or dont like him, it was immediately like a reflex, oh, hes black, so well talk to him about black movies. Mr. President , did you like twelve years a slave, did you like the butler . Its rude. Its racial do you think its racist . Let me ask you that. Do you think its racist . Everybody says to me, hey, juan, lighten up, they were just joking. But to me, its racism. I dont know about racist. But it is racism when you define people solely on the basis of their race. Thats what you would see in the dictionary and thats what they were doing. What do you think . I think it was humor between friends. It wasnt all that bad. Were sensitive to anything involving racial context, people freak out. This wasnt such an awful thing for people to say, it needs to be a twoway street so people on the right Say Something<\/a> like this, people wouldnt be screaming in the heads if you had two conservatives having this exchange on email. Juan, this is my christmas, you decided to agree with me tonight. Ill take that and run with it. Youre okay. Its youre fixated on loving obama. He hasnt done well. Im a hannity fan, i just dont want you to karate chop me. Weve had our, you know, sort of like moments in the green room. Lets put it that way. Im doing a breaking hammer punch across juans jaw. Let the audience know. Let the audience know. Deroy, Merry Christmas<\/a> to you. Coming up next on hannity later i woke up with the back of his hand saying daddy says wake up. It is possible that all of bill cosbys accusers, maybe up to 25, are lying . When we return cosbys very own cousin will be here to defend the embattled television icon. We havent even hit christmas yet but the countdown to 2015 has begun. Fox news is putting together a lineup to ring in the new year. They are a glowing example of what it means to be the best.

Get faster speeds or more savings, or well give you 150. Comcast business. Built for business. Recently dozens of women have claimed that Actor Bill Cosby<\/a> abused them or tried to abuse them or drugged them. Today a prosecutor declined to w sexually assaulted me that night. For years, i did not tell anyone about what he had done to me because i was afraid. I felt threatened by him. I did not think anyone would believe me. It was like that of a predator. I could not open any eyes. I couldnt move or say anything. I blacked out. 13, 16 hours later i woke up to him clapping his hands saying daddy says wake up. Here with reaction is the author of bill cosby is right. Thank you for being here. Im glad to be here. Dozens of women. Do you think theyre all lying . Well, to tell you the truth, i was quite devastated when the americas dr. Huxtable. Does that not raise a suspicion when so many people are saying it . Well, im suspicious because they should have said something 30 years ago. If this was so traumatic and i saw so many of the women sitting there crying crying with a lawyer. Do you think theyre all lie something. I found in my own research some of the women have criminal back grounds. Okay. How many have criminal back grounds . You believe all of them are lying . Those stories are so similar, you think theyre all liars . I think people jumped on the band wagon coming up with their own stories. That is my opinion. But, i will say this. You know, if he i wasnt there. At this point, its a bunch of he said she said. Its he said, she said, she said sh she said, she said, she said. And she said. Yes. But if its real why didnt you talk to a lawyer . I know youre his cousin do you hold a possibility there may be a dark side to bill cosby that nobody knows there is a possibility this may be true . Do you hold a possibility that that is possible . If he had a dark side and wanted to get relationships outside of his marriage, i dont think he would have to drug anyone. Sex. I dont think he would have to put anyone, put things in anyones drink. You believe all of these i do know, that he is innocent until proven guilty. Do you hold out the possibility they might be telling the truth . To think, wow . Have there been any charges filed . Well, we had one case settled years ago. We dont know what happened. That was a confidentiality report. There is another case coming forward, i believe a lawsuit has been filed but rest have not filed but felt compelled to tell a story. Youre not holding out a possibility theyre telling the truth . We have courts and a legal system in this country. If i was harassed and someone put their hands on me and i didnt want it i would have talked to a lawyer and i would have done it 30 years ago. Coming up, a big question of the day. Who do you want to be next president of the United States<\/a> . Straight ahead. Dad, i know i havent said this often enough, but thank you. Thank you mom for protecting my future. Thank you for being my hero and my dad. Military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa Auto Insurance<\/a> could be one of them.
