three-year period of time. >> if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep her health care plan. period. lou: that is not thenly obama assertion deemed as a lie. "the washington post" reported that three of the top ggest lies of 2013 along two president obama. now, we will talk some politics. chris christie will join us with a five-point lead at over hillary clinton during a projected matchup in the state of iowa. in july, the same poll had him tiedlinton at 41%. and a new american poll, 74% of american adults say that they believe in god. that number declined from 82% back in 2009, according to the poll, the majority of americans

also say they still believe i miracles, heaven, and the resurrection of jesus, regarding politics, republicans identify with christian beliefs and democrats express strong leads in darwin's theory of evolution. in my next guest says he's keeping an open mind of the possibility of running for president in 2016. he is also launching a new news publication in partnership with the huckabee post. and i think that that is a pretty good name for it. host of huckabee on the fox news channel. mike huckabee, good to have u.s. >> thank you and it's great to be with you. lou: i want to ask you about the huckabee post. will that be about? >> well, it is going to be a

political and sports news and culture and entertainment news website. i think it will be a great opportunity to get an opinion as well as ongoing news. a partnership with christian media, althgh the website itself is ot going to be a religious themed sit it will cover the landscape and all of the fun of it. it will be an adventure. we've been doing a lot of things online. my facebook page, and this is the natural extension from that and the partnership that we are looking forward to. launching sometime early part of next year's the one part of the mike huckabee empire. we certainly wish you the best. and i can imagine anything but success. let's start with governor chris christie looking stronger against hillary clinton in the state of iowa. and you are doing pretty well too out there. the "des moines register" had even second place after paul ryan, head of rick santorum and chris christie. a lot of talk about mike

huckabee in 2016. are you thinking out it now? >> well, i'm open to it. i'm not sitting around plotting my comeback or anything like that. and there are people who want me to jump off the brooklyn bridge as well. that doesn't mean i'm going to do it. but i ddn't know if anybody can make up their mid. the numbers were startlingly good. i think there was an honest and legitimate polling. and so you at least keep your mind open to it. but if you just mentioned, you know, with a new website coming up in other things that i have had going on with my fox news television show, radio commentaries and what have you, i'm not looking for something to do, but i'm not closing the door and i will keep an open mind. lou: you and i talked a lot about your decisions to run and

also when he withdrew in 2008. does it ever occur to you to say that lou dbs is right and that you should have stayed and changed history? [laughter] >> even my wife agreed that 2012 would've been a tough time and it was probably unlikely that i would've ne through the republican primary because of the vicious way in which was conducted. also, i am not sure that anyone can you barack obama in 2012 because of the machinery that he had in place. lou: well, that is great and t's greatyou are thinking about this and considering it. and, m goodness, what a difficult decision it is for yo i'm delighted to hear that you are open to the idea. let's talk about a couple of quick things. and i want to get your impression because some of the conservatives inthe country are

upset about this. and i personally think that returning to order makes this entirely worthwhile, and i applaud the republicans on that. so what is your thinking on this matter? >> well, i think you hit the right word. it is great symbolism. the bill did not do a lot and it didn't reduce the level of spending. and it didn't increase taxes either. there were three things that the democrats wanted, a 1.4 chili dollar increase in tax and they didn't get it. they wanted a complete revocation of thisquestion and they didt get it. they wanted a huge spending spree and they didn't get that. republicans can say that we didn't get everything we wanted. but neither did they. nobody loves this deal, everyone hates parts of it. that is kind of the way that it is when you have a split government and the republicans branch.e one half of the and a lot of people will be upset and say you should have

cut spending. he said this earlier a well. you can't do what you don't have the votes to do. until republicans get control of the senate and ultimately the white house, they will t be able to make the deep massive spending cuts that i would love to see and every republican in amica would love to see. and mostly with common sense would love to see. so let's do everything a step towards the goal of getting the senate and ultimately the wite house correct. we will have a much better chance of getting this to happen. but i think right now you have a lot of these groups andthey have capitulated and i thought it was a baby step, nonetheless, but one to actually see people trying to govern. that's what they are therefore. lou: governor mike huckabee. it is so great to see you and we wish you all the best. >> thank you.

lou: you can watch mike huckabee saturday and sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. eastern. and we recommend that you do so. coming up next, and corruption at the u.s. embassy in india. all over the alleged mistreatment of a diplomat. kt mcfarland has that and the issues of the day around the globe. kt mc [ male announcer ] this store knows how to handle a saturday crowd. ♪ [ male nouncer ] the parking lot helps by letting us know who's coming. the carts keep everyone on the rightrack. the power tools iroduce themselves. all the bits and bulbs keep themselves stocked. and the doors even handle the checkout so we can work on that thing that's stuck in the thing.

lou: a panel appointed by president obama to review the nsa surveillance program recommending a major overhaul of its domesti spy practices. forty-six recommendations include revamping the nsa phone records collection program and the president will decide which

proposals to implement, if any of those. spurred by the theft and release of top-secret materials by former contractor edward snowden and james rosen rat weighed in on the idea of him returning. >> i think he ought to be prosecuted for treason and if convicted by a jury, we shuld be hanged bythe neck. lou: this iludes the targeting of mohammed morsi and the targeting of hezbollah and hamas.

and the nation of saudi arabia's leader says he would like to see diplomatic solutions to the civil war. saudi arabia has condemned the united states, which they say risk the security and stability of the iddle east and the deputy consul general now faces felony charges of visa fraud and false statements concerning her nanny. she claimed she was strip searched and kept in a cell with drug addicts before posting a 250,000-dollar bail. she says that she is entitled to diplomatic immunity. in new delhi, the indn military has removed barriers around the unitedstates embassy

and authorities are demanding officials relinquish their identity cause and the leaders of india's two largest political parties, canceling scheduled meetings with a congressional delegation in reprisal for her arrest. joining us now is fox news analyst kt k.t. mcfarland. it's so good to see you. first, the issue of the deputy consul here in her rrest, apparently being strip searched. plus te charges by the new york city police department. >> that's right, doe't make any sense. diplomats have been in the united states and so there they're something that ha gone very wrong here.

lou: it's not matter-of-fact, but there's a lot of disrespect and where is the obama administration. and i understand where michael bloomberg is. so where is the president of the united states on this? >> well, let's turn to mohammed morsi. >> when i was in egypt it was pretty clear that mohammed morsi and the mother muslim brotherhood wh al qaeda, he let out some prisoners and turns that went and set up shop and they refuse to let the army go clean them out.

so i think that what you will see it afte the egyptian referendum and then further elections, my guess is that you will see a major political trials of not just mohammed morsi but the muslim brotherhood and i wouldn't be surprised if some of them get the death penalty. lou: is a trial in the future of edward snowden? is he going to be brought to justice? and it was interesting to hear the former director of the cia saying that if he is indeed convicted, he should be hanged by the neck until dead. to put some emphasis on the matter. >> the thing about this is that some people are saying that maybe he should and there has been too categories and one is on the negotiation. so how you gather intelligence? how you listen to the phone

calls and that does the most harm and that is what is starting to come out. lou: given that this was an act of treason, i am not sure if that' a legal term. but when you bear the country's secrets, it seems to be a raightforward statement of fact. he has committed treason and hung the interest of the country and he was serving. why in the world was he permitted to leave the united states in any form? >> not only that, but why would you permit this access? security clearance was not even given by the american government but by a contractor. lou: he got the passwords, we understand. from others as well. those who just turned it over to -- turned it over to him. he met this guy had a mother lode of information.

my guess is that he will tay in moscow. and he thinks brazil looks better. and he says that he has some stuff to come, we will see. but the tragedy is that this is security versus privacy.

lou: and the thing is had this exploded at washington dc or baltimore, why did in all o these individuals do more to find out what the enemy is doing. >> we have seen abuses by government and the irs go after conservative groups. we've seen reports. lou: they have political

purposes and we here more outcry about the nsa than we do about the irs, and that his plane upside down and wrong in my opinion. and i have the last wrd. kt marland, merry christmas to you. it's good to have you with us. lou: my newook debuts on january 7 and i hope you will think about reading it. hardcover and the audio will book version. underrated it myself. it's great fun and i hope you'll pick it up. single micro- ♪ in the micro- ♪

lou: welcome back. there are 4.1 million federal government employees in this country. and a new study found that there they are not liking their jobs. the partnership for public services, government job satisfaction has dropped. down 50%. that is an all-time low.

and we thought we were the only ones that didn't like the job that the government was doing. and so what are the worst departments in which work? the survey says it is the department of homeland security followed by the army and the department of labor. and federal government workers have extremely geerous pay and other benefits on average compared to 88,000 for the private sector and six of the top 10 richest counties in the united states, six out of 10 all-around nations capital.

lou: joining us now is the

"a-team." nationally syndicated host, author and fox news contributor, fox news radio talk show host, john gibson. and "chicago tribune" columnist john kass. john, it's so great to have you all here. let me start with you, if i may. this new outrage by john posta, on the job less than a week and he starts making these outrageous comments and what the thing? >> is that addressed only to conservatives or the republican party in general? >> he made it very clear. he made it clear that was the republican party.

>> the fact is he that he doesn't seem to be in the spirit. >> i was right there before jonestown and i don't ever want to go back. lou: how would you refer to it? >> i just want to interject. you have to remember that jim jones was with democrats in san francisco, not republicans. he was facilitated by democratic politicians who then ran for cover when you know what hit the fan. but here he is, in thi kind of offhand reflective way, in the

same way that the president rode to somebody referring to the tea party people, the insult directed towards them. this is sort of st he way that they operate in this dismissive and insulting way and friendly they don't seem to get it and podesta runs the center for american progress or dead. and he has been a leader for a long time. >> i found his comments to be refreshingly honest. because we have heard so many lies coming from this president over so many years and we know howthey viewed the republican party and the tea party and at least jon went out and set the truth. this is how they look at them. now remember that he is coming to supposedly bring a new attitude and approach and john boehner nt a tweet and said

are you kidding me. so exactly. and this is how they view the republican party and for leaers like paul ryan, to be like those that they have been with budget matters, other things, immigration, thinking about the white house will engage them. if they are under that delusion come i can't help them. >> but you have to remember that john podesta has been brought in to go around congress and his whole deal is executive actions and you could expect an avalanche of executive orders which they have figured out how to do, to brush aside those people that they call at jonestown, they call the mass

murders. lou: "thwashington post" says that every democrat i be scared. >> well, they should be. because they are going to take obamacare and they are going to wrap around the government and watch them, you know, try to swim. and all of them out there if you want your health care , keep it. of you what your doctor, i'd keep it to. right? lou: the me ask you the truth is there would be a clear-cut extraordinary advantage of the midterm if they don't screw it up or try to shut down the government over the debt ceiling debate, what are your thoughts about where they will go? >> this ad is liberal will be repeated over and over against every democrat

running for office. if you compare that add campaign that takes a knife tucci shaheen to the floor and the obama team runs with a kid in his pajamas drinking hot chocolate. talk about obacare with your parents, it just shows they don't have a prayer. the republicans are coming with brass knuckles the and they he hot chocolate. it is not close. lou: where were they in 2012 with romney at the top off3 the ticket? that could have used some of inspiration. >> it is interesting to see this come out so early with a foldable democrats they're all on tape saying if you lik l of it but it is just ready mated munition.

the fact that obamacare is imploding and if you thought 2013 was bad wait until 2014. the challenge for the republicans is not to go off the rails or get distracted by other issues. they must stay on obamacare. lou: day you think the president's numbers are retrievable? is this a broken trust of the american people? can he recover? >> not on the trust issue. but is the accumulation of things, the irs, they gauzy gauzy, and then you can keep your doctor and your health plan. i don't think he will get the trust numbers back up and that will be of wait
