5:01 pm
and i will veto any vote for a palestinian state. wait, mahmoud? no, no, no, wait. ben? ben? oye va, i need a vacation! >> tonight on huckabee. he was just trying to run his company. >> i was fined because i hired too many people. >> now, he says the government is making it impossible to do business, is this the end of the american dream? and men find god, becomes a savior and blows the bad guys away. and gerard butler on his new film and the real life. >> pressure in israel over the u.n. vote and the governor were breaking news and ladies
5:02 pm
and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applaus [applaus [applause]. >> mike: hello, everybody. thank you for being here and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. well, there was high drama in a low place in week, the united nations. maybe it would be better to change a couple of letters around and call it the untide nations because it seems to be unravelling from its mission from being for peace and understanding. among many of the transgressions are giving a microphone, a podium and platform to a murdering racist tyrant, mike iranian president mammoud ac-nut job, and can go around spewing hate, blaming america for 9/11 and denying the holocaust and calling for the destruction of jews.
5:03 pm
and fires rockets from gaza into israel and indescriminately murders innocent civilians. the hand of iran and the glove of hamas and in the glove of syrian president assad is bad enough, but that the u.n. would give the iranian president a forum as if he's some kind of legitimate leader makes meaning it's time to rethink the u.s. participation in this worthless, toothless, white elegant known as the u.n. in addition to giving voice to madmen like a nut job, they're spewing hate like the durbin three, a taxpayer paid front so that radicals can accuse israel of being racist. our good neighbor and friend, canada, boldly refused to support such nonsense and even forbid its officials to attend any of its meetings. i say good for canada. i think it's time to consider getting jackhammers and sawing off the u.n. from the east end of manhattan and floating it off into the east river and
5:04 pm
allowing any nation who wants to host it to just come in and drag it away. i mean, we pay for 22% of all of the u.n. activities, far more than any other nation and for that we get insulted by loons, we have to stand virtually alone to defend our only mideast ally and even have to tolerate unpaid parking tickets by so-called diplomates. look, i am ano isolationist, i'm tired of america being played for a chump. if we put most of the quarters in the jukebox we ought to pick more of the songs and it's time to get out the hook for the whack-job terrorist tyrants and tell them they're free to bark like the bad dogs they are, we're not going to pet them, not going to feed them. not going to let them in the house. there's nothing united about the u.n. and if we want to help real friends let's give them the money directly and not through the impotent and corrupt organization that the u.n. has become.
5:05 pm
[applaus [applause] >> well, that's my view, i welcome yours. contact me at mike huckabee.com and on the fox news feedback session or join my facebook page or follow me on twitter at foxnews.com. >> with the ongoing and unnecessary conflict between israel and the palestinians, once again took center stage at the united nations security council on friday. and here is palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. >> mr. president, i would like to inform you that before visiting this statement, i submitted his excellency moon, secretary-general of the united nations an application for the admission on the basis of june 4th, 1967, with al sharif as the capital as a full member of the united nations. >> mike: but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says before palestinians even
5:06 pm
think about getting their own state. they need to learn how to get along with their neighbors. >> the truth is that so far, the palestinian have refused to negotiate. the truth is, that israel wants peace with the palestinian state, but the palestinians want, want a state without peace. and the truth is, you shouldn't let that happen. >> mike: joining us now from tel aviv, deputy speaker, danny, brought to have you here, new for joining me from israel. [applause] >> thank you, governor. nice to be on your show again. >> mike: danny, i want to bring up a rather sensitive subject. i spoke to one of your colleagues in the kinesett two days ago. this is one of your fellow kinesett members and tells me, this to me is a pretty major revelation, that israel was
5:07 pm
pressured to not say anything about the funding of the palestinian authority if they push for this, because if they did, the united states might in fact fail to veto any effort in the united nations. i want to ask you, now, knesset member confirmed this was the case. can you confirm that you have heard the same thing and that there was that pressure applied to your government? >> there was a lot of pressure. that's only the beginning. you respect agreements in the united states of america, by going to the u.n., the white house in 1993, under president clinton and now when it comes to the u.n., the u.s. telling palestinians we would stop funding you, stop giving you 500 million u.s. dollars from our taxpayers money and you're telling us do not pressure them. i encouraged the congress and senate to take steps against the palestinian authority, and
5:08 pm
pressure that sign under the auspices of president clinton, respect to for the u.s. you should not sponsor activities. i realize that the prime minister is under extraordinary pressure from all sides. obviously, he's not publicly saying that he was pressured by the obama administration, but it is your belief, along with that of knesset member, that sources inside the israeli government have confirmed to you you that this pressure was in fact applied, so that it allowed the palestinians to go ahead and do what really is an act of provocation that probably will not result in a more peaceful process. >> this pressure was applied and more pressure on the prime minister to extend on the jewish community, the settlements. and governor, you have been so
5:09 pm
many times to the jewish communities. you know they're not an obstacle to peace. by the people in the white house, and think-- concession to the palestinians and there would be peace. we know it will be the other way. you have in the u.s. a saying, not in my back yard. we doesn't want to see in our back yard, a state of hatred, a state of al-qaeda and same you don't want to see in your house a state of hatred. so we say to the american president with all due respect. we will not pay the tuition for your mistakes, mistakes in the middle east, in israel you cannot refer them. it's not the economy, it's not job creation, make-- in the middle east, paid with the lives of the jewish people and we're in the willing to do it, governor. >> mike: danny, what is reaction in israel as a result of the actions that took place with abbas going to the u.n. and asking for a declaration
5:10 pm
of statehood? how has that made israelis feel? nervous, angry? what is the mood there? >> first of all, we're very proud of our prime minister, benjamin netanyahu and excellent speech. i don't think he can change the minds of those countries who hate them, but-- in the hearing today, that even the palestinians are taking action, we should do the same. if they're-- we will play the game they understand, and i am initiating a feeling in the knesset. in the jewish communities, they're conditioning themselves in a better place for the negotiation, we should do the same, and to our brothers and sisters who live, we will never abandon you to the pa, to the hamas, to al-qaeda and should consider the annex asian of the jewish community, he is posed to the actions of the palestinians-- that was signed in the white
5:11 pm
house. >> mike: danny is the deputy speaker of the israeli knessehh. thank you for joining us from tel aviv today. this is a very dangerous situation. and appears that it's having at opposite affect than helping to achieve peace, if anything, it's stirring things up to a whole new level. he says that government regulations are crippling the economy and can cite chapter and verse how. businessman and radio talk show host, peter schiff. why it's hard for him to hire qualified americans who might be looking for work.

5:15 pm
from lawsuits that you have put on employers, most small businesses, their main concern how not to hire people. how can i grow my business and hire as few people as possible. that's not something that happens in the market. that's something that happens as as consequence of government. >> joining me now is ceo of euro pacific capital and author of "how an economy grows" and why it crashes. peter schiff. great to have you with me. >> thanks for having me on (applause) >> why is it risky to hire people right now in america? >> well, it's he very risky. unfortunately, politics, there are a lot more people who are employees than employers. so politicians want to get votes so he they promise all sorts of special privileges for employees, but when they do that, they put obligations and risks on employers. it is so easy now to sue your boss, and he doesn't create the job in the exact manner that the government specifics he has to do it. because of the costs, not just
5:16 pm
with the taxes, but with the potential litigation, a lot of businesses do what they cannot to hire. my precious metals company, we don't have a receptionist, we have a voice mail system so we find a way to get around hiring somebody by using a machine, but the main reason for that is the government makes it too expensive and too risky to hire a human being. >> mike: that's amaze to go me. now, you got fined $15,000 because you hired somebody. explain how in the world, in a time when the unemployment rate is the highest it's been in decades, you get in trouble because you hired somebody. >> actually, the trouble started back in 2008. and the funny part was, a the lot of the big brokerage firms were firing people if they were getting bailout money from the government. i was hiring people and then getting fined for doing it and it's not the government didn't just fine me, a regulatory body called finra, a self-regulatory body.
5:17 pm
the u.s. he requires me to be a member of that organization. >> mike: it's a private organization? >> it's private, but the government requires you. >> mike: obama care. >> really something you're forced by the government to participate in something in the the private sector. >> correct, a the lot of the rules and regulation that is they enforce come down from washington, from the fcc, but, what happened was, my business was growing rapidly in 2008 and i was hiring a lot of people and i didn't realize i didn't have regulatory permission to grow my business that fast. >> mike: hold it. why do you feed someone to give you permission to grow your business. >> we shouldn't need it, but that's what the regulations do. so, what happened was they sent the letter to my, my chief appliance officer, telling us to stop hiring until we got the appropriate permission, he he he didn't show me the letter, i kept hiring anyway and that's what got me into trouble not because i hired too many people, but because i didn't stop hierlg when i was told to. i ended up spending, half a million dollars in legal bills.
5:18 pm
>> they fine you, 15,000 and then to fight it, you spent half a million? >> well, the fine didn't come until the end. the problem was they sent me a letter, telling me to stop doing something and i didn't listen to them. that's the big investigation, why did you keep hiring people when we told you not to. i had to show you this was just a mistake, i wasn't flagrantly violating the rules, but the whole point of the matter is, the real reason that these regulations exist, it's not really to protect the investors in my opinion. what protects the investors is me, is my desire to have a good, a good brand, to have good reputation, to keep my customers, it's competition that protects the customers, but what these regulations really do, they protect the large brokerage firms from the smaller firms like mine, that are trying to grow and the regulators put all of these road blocks in our path. you know, so many small firms are failing, i started my business back in 1996. and there is no way, that if the regulations, that are in effect today, were in effect back then, it would be
5:19 pm
impossible. i wouldn't have had the resources to overcome the barriers. >> now, i guess one of the things i'm trying to understand and maybe you can help me, but if i were the people who had fined you, what is the rational for saying that they got to get permission in order for you to hire. >> they tell you, tell you how many reps you're allowed to have and a safe harbor rule that says you can add a little bit more than that. i went through the safe harbor rule, i was a small firm and getting a lot of new business in 2008 because i had a book that came out. "crash proof" a lot of the forecasts were coming true and people were seeking my service and i had to hire people. supposed rational, the regulators want to make sure if your business is growing that rapidly, that you have enough of a compliance oversight to make sure that all the rules and regulations are being enforced, that you know, the process of getting permission to hire more people, it's not just simple
5:20 pm
form, it's a complicated documents that needs to be filled out right and needs to be submitted. it's not an easy task, but i finally got permission, i think, last week to grow the business, i'm glad i got it. i would have liked to have grown the business years ago, but-- >> jaws are dropping, the sound i'm hearing in new york, people are amazed in a tough economy when people need jobs, that the government puts road blocks between you hiring people and people coming to work-- >> all regulations are road blocks. regulations increase the cost of hiring people and whenever you make something more expensive, there's less demand for it. and hiring people is very expensive. running a business for a lot of businesses, the difference between profit and loss are the regulations. i spent more on compliance, i've got a whole compliance department. i spend more on compliance than on rent. i have six offices, i have two offices in southern california. one mere in manhattan. my rent is tiny compared to what i have to spend every
5:21 pm
year just to stay in business. my legal bills, all of my legal bills have to do with compliance. i pay more in legal bills nanny do in rent. >> mike: you're hiring people, unfortunately, they're all lawyers. that's pretty evident. >> and-- >> you want to stay around, there's more to talk to you about. i'm going to ask peter why he's moved some of his company's jobs overseas, as if you can't figure that one out. we'll be back to talk to peter in a moment. with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is a non-narcotic treatment that's fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaid pain relievers,

5:24 pm
>> middle class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires. that's pretty straight forward. it's hard to argue against that. warren buffett's secretary shouldn't pay a higher tax rate than warren buffett. >> all right, you say the president is wrong on this.
5:25 pm
tell me why. >> well, first of all, warren buffett's secretary doesn't pay a higher tax than warren buffett. warren buffett is the largest shareholder of berkshire hathaway, that's the majority of his wealth and berkshire hathaway pays 35% corporate income tax, that's his money, warren buffett's money. if his corporation didn't pay that tax, it would have been able to pay that money out to him in dividend. it's ingenuous to pretend that warren buffett isn't paying a lot of taxes and of course the taxes he's paying is in capital gains and that's because warren buffett chooses to work for no sally. if he paid a salary through berkshire hathaway he would have paid a tax rate. >> i'm paying well over 40% of my income in federal and state income taxes right now. how much more do they want to take? >> a lot more, have you not been hearing the president? he wants to take all of it. >> medieval serf as only got
5:26 pm
elevated to the lord. >> and you would think that the government wouldn't demand more than god does. >> a lot more to tithe if the government wasn't taking so much to begin with. >> speaking of warren buffett, it troubles me his firm, berkshire hathaway, fighting the irs wanting to get some tax obligations eliminated. almost as if i want to say, mr. buffett, if you're interested in paying more taxes, stop the current action with the assessment that the irs leveled at you and pay them off. >> obviously, he's a hypocrite as well. the problem is that the money that the wealthy don't send to washington, that's the money that they use to grow the economy. when you take money away from the employers, business owners you're not diminishing their consumption, you're diminishing their investment, their ability to fund new plant equipment, to hire people. to make loans to other businesses, other startups, we don't want money that would
5:27 pm
have been invested in the private sector productively to be sent to washington to be squandered. >> mike: now, you've moved jobs overseas, jobs that could have been in america, but you said you really didn't have a choice. why, if it's easier to move a job overseas than it is to hire somebody right here at home? >> first of all, i had to open up a bank off shore for my international appliance. my brokerage firm, i used to take clients from the u.k., from australia, from hong kong, from south america. but, the government regulations this came in after the patriot act and anti-money laundering act have now made it so expensive for me to accept business from foreigners, that i now have decide today take instead of a whole new business, out of the country and have all foreigners who want to do business with me, do business with my off shore company instead. i would prefer, it'd be much easier for me to do business with them here, but the regulations make it too expensive. not only that i've had to impose account minimums, for a long time i prided myself on
5:28 pm
the fact that no investor was too small. i didn't have a minimum. i finally had to impose minimums because the regulations are so complicated, it's now so expensive for me to open up small at, i can't afford it. the government is trying to protect the investor and the government made it so expensive that no one will take the accounts and now neve to do it all on their own to a discount broker and the government protected them from getting good advice. >> peter, as we talk today. i guess i'm stunned with the harsh reality, we hear it as a great part of political talking points and speeches. but you have put the specifics right down for us to understand the very hard facts, of how government, not just that government does it, but how does government get in the pay of business, and make it hard to function, hard to hire, and hard to make a profit? peter schiff, i want to say thank you, it's been a pleasure to have you here. peter schiff.

5:38 pm
moved, how he expresses himself, what made him pick-- one of the things i picked up from, knowing he had been through all of this, hows about when he he talks about it. and there was humor in his eyes and genuinely comes to life and you know, he likes to test you, the way he looks at you. and yet, at the same time, when he he talks about his past and his drug days and knows what sick or-- as a result of being involved with him. and tears pour down his face and he has so much sadness in him as well and pain and that was a really fascinating thing and somehow wanting to get in the movie. >> mike: gerard, this would be a great film even if it were fiction and i sense that it has had a great i am pocket on you and i think this film will have a great impact on everyone who sees it. thank you so much for being here today. to share your personal perspectives of abbing part of this remarkable movie "machine
