[applaus [applause] >> thank you. welcome to huckabee. fox studios in new york city. this week we saw a tragedy and an irony connected to a single person who truly changed the world. the tragedy, of course, was the untimely death of the founder of apple, steve jobs, whose brilliance as an innovator and marketing genius were key factors in leading

apple to have a bigger cash flow than the u.s. government. of course, one of the reasons that his cash flow and success towards the federal government was that jobs actually made things that people wanted and could afford. while, the government has continued to force us to pay for things at that we don't want, and neither we, nor they, can a ford. i'm an apple snob and ended up with all things apple. i-mac. ipad, ipad, time capsulement at the airport. if they made a cereal i'd buy it. i've got that much faith, and more importantly, the superior people they hire to support their products and make them work for consumers like me who want the turning of technology and not having an engineering degree or schematic. and hundreds of thousands make a living using his products. now the irony this week was

that near wall street, you saw this. >> we do-- [yelling] >> the whole world is watching, the whole world is watching! >> the whole world is watching and laughing trying to figure out what do you want? thousands of young and wannabe young protesters filled the streets screaming and demanding something, well, something. >> this represents a communal gathering of human beings that is currently going to shift this planet. >> woo. i feel the consciousness of the planet shifting. i think even the audience feels the consciousness of the planet shifting. mostly the protesters were shouting hate toward billionaires and organized by using their iphones and networking with facebook and twitter. now, more incredibly, it appears much of their activities were financed by a billionaire, george soros who is the primary funder of move on which really ought to be

move out. so, let's get it straight. a bunch of kids who would rather scream than work want to take money from billionaires, do this he mean the billionaire who funds them, soros or billionaire guy mark zuckerberg, who created facebook that they use every day 0 or bill gates who makes software that they use. or the billionaire guy, late steve jobs whose devices they use to protest? that's right, all of those guys billionaires. look, i'm ticked off, too, at bailed out bankers and giants and car companies who ate my tax money and gave huge bonuses to some of the inept executives. and begged for uncle sugar to rescue them and unions owning a chunk of gm and letting pensioners and investors twist in the wind and ticked off at

an incompetent president and nincompoops and protecting their jobs, but not yours. i don't understand what the protesters want unless it's turn off the ipods and ipads and the social technology parents pay for ap picking tomatoes in the hot sun. instead of screaming at steve jobs i'm hoping there will be more coming along creating projects and services and jobs for people who want to work and not just scream. well, that's my view, if you'd like to comment, mike huckabee.com and when you go to the website, click on the fox section and. democrats have yet to vote on the jobs bill despite the president's rallying cry. >> pass this bill.

we can do that by passing this bill. we should pass this jobs bill right away. >> pass the americans jobs act. tell congress pass this bill right away. well, it's team for the hot seat where two people with opposing views try to take me on. once again my challengers, news day columnist elliss henican and associate protester at occidental college caroline hellman. >> mike: caroline and eric, eric for a moment. i know better that's to push your buttons a little bit. >> good to see you, governor mitt. >> mike: the audience didn't think that was-- (laughter) >> hey, let's talk about the jobs thing, because, the president keeps saying pass my jobs bill, pass my jobs bill, plaming it on the republicans. his democratic majority leader harry reid won't bring it up in the senate. why not? >> that's not accurate. the democrats are not going to be the ones who oppose this

bill, they will be bringing it up next week with some amendments which has been what the delay has beenment eric cantor says it's dead on arrival. how is that-- >> harry reid said that the republicans planned for the budget was dead on arrival. why is it okay if the democrats do that. >> they're wrong-- >> they should be deliberating this, and jo, million. 1.9 million jobs and it's a good bill. the question, how to pay for it that's where the schism is. >> mike: elliss, last week they said the democrats aren't putting it on the floor because they don't have the vote. >> it's like any legislation, it's going to-- i'm not worried. what i want done is to get your voice to join ours and get out there and encourage our government to actually do some stuff that will create jo jobs. >> mike: we do? >> we spend, purn, create, inspire, do the things that, like steve jobs who i love and you do, too, and he didn't did the internet, the government

did. the government put the satellites in the air, we need government as part of the solution e if government could get out of way. steve jobs did a lot of the actual creation of technology he didn't get a government bailout and grant. with the government helpful to create a structure of course, did the government provide an infrastructure. >> wait a minutes. >> the government doesn't need to build the trucks just the highway. >> any major technology company has benefitted from hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants to develop things. it's not just including hard wiring and technology for the internet, but it's not accurate to say that government hasn't been a major part in that and that jobs bill focuses on infrastructure and right now we need to spent 2 trillion dollars just to maintain our crumbling infrastructure. it's a great jobs program. the question is how to pay for it. >> mike: a good question. >> are you on board in supporting? >> and the infrastructure, that's one thing, but solyndra. half-- >> solyndra is not infrastructure. >> i know, we're-- >> and governor.

>> it's not infrastructure. >> doesn't it burn you up after we bailed out the companies, you were against it. >> mike: i was totally against the blourts. >> that they don't pass some of that back to us. are. >> profits. >> mike: on that we would degree. tarp was wrong because tarp should never have happened. if a company can't make it without the government support, they die. that's capitalism. >> let's get the tea party votes (applause) >> let's get the tea party folks to join the protesters. >> they have the same concerns. >> mike: you're speaking of getting the government to do something, i want to go to a piece of tape. this is harry reid, this week, the democrats did something that i was shocked by. they invoked a nuclear option to the senate and this is harry reid, six years ago. >> this chamber, there was no check on their power radical right wpg will be free to pursue whatever they want. >> six years ago harry reid minority leader, said when the

republicans were talking-- they never did it, that they talked about bringing in the nuclear option which would be that they would change the rules by which you could end a filibuster, a simple majority versus 60 votes which it historically has been. he was dead set against it, thursday night he actually pushed the button, that red button nuclear option. isn't that hypocrisy? >> i would say it is hypocrisy, let's look at larger context. mcconnell played dirty parliamentary pool and harry reid looked at this aen said the stakes are so high we're going to have to respond in a similar fashion. if you want to talk about what's going on here, you have to talk about what the republicans did first and how he's trying to save passage of the jobs well. >> let's be honest, i think the streak nominee is probably a bigger deal than a president's jobs bill when it's already been put forth and people didn't like it before. they don't like it now.

big durbin says they don't have the votes for it and declared clare mccaskill to show up in missouri to stand for it. elliss, tell me is it hypocrisy or not, that harry reid talks, depends on which side of the minority, majority he is. >> honestly governor, who cares. >> mike: it's funny who dares now, but you cared six years ago. >> all of these representatives in congress they'll do whatever advantage they can get. the bigger question, how do we make sure that they do something that's going to put americans back to work and best plan frankly, what did the president say? pass this bill. >> mike:'s saying it to everybody except that's who might get jobs created. we've got to stop. i'll tell you what i wish the president would do, let people know that their taxes in business aren't going up and not facing a lot of expensive regulations. until the banks have the government money loan it out, without sitting on it.

[applause] >> on the show, okay? . and crowd is as excited as this one is here in new york. >> oh, yeah.

>> mike: let's talk about, you've talked about the 9, 9, 9 plan and would simplify the tax code and said at that bills that we pass shouldn't be over three pages, there are critics saying it's too simple. it won't work and you're being naive. respond to that kind of criticism, herman. >> first of all, the 9, 9, 9 plan, we can fit it on two pages. and that's the difference. but it starts with throwing out the old tax code, and starting with a 9% business flat tax, 9% tax on personal income tax and a 9% national sales tax. this is on the way to something that i know that you also support, the fair tax, but this will get this economy going. it will replace a personal income tax, the corporate taxes and replace the capital gains taxes and replace the death tax and most importantly, it will replace the payroll taxes, all with

those three taxes. >> mike: as you know i'm a strong advocate for the fair tax. see you see thises an an intermediate step ultimately having taxes on consumption and not punishing people for productivity which is what the fair tax is about. >> yes. >> mike: are you hoping that's the ultimate goal? >> that is the ultimate goal, but we needed to provide some certainty to the business community and to workers today. that's what the 9, 9, 9, plan. mike, it's interesting ever since i proposed that and getting a lot of conversation with workers and businesses, already, the skeptics are coming out and trying to basically discredit it. here is the biggest one, they're saying it will not produce the same amount of revenue, yes, it will. it's revenue neutral and this is how we design it and secondly it's not regressive on the poor. those are two things they're trying to shoot it down and the reason they're make eroan yus conclusions about it, they're used to using static

analysis and the analysis we've done is based upon dynamic analysis. >> mike: herman, let me play devil's advocate, an important part of your resume', you've been a successful ceo. you've run company, rescued them and put people to work, that's admirable. but the private sector is different in that you've got employees that don't work right, you'd fire them. when you're the president you don't get to fire congress though i wish you could, i'd give you a list of some that need to go. [applause] >> since you can't fire the congress and sips the bureaucrats have the attitude we were here when you came and we'll be here when you leave, how do you take what is a private sector ceo experience and turn that into effective leadership as president? >> two ways, mike, when i ran the national restaurant association, i had hundreds of thousands of members who i had to present good ideas to in order to get them to support it. so, i understand the value of being persuasive with good ideas. the second way i'm going to be

able to get congress to work with me, is the power of the people. former senator eric circumstanceson popularized the statement, when they feel the heat they'll see the light. this is why my bills are going to be short and understandable because the people are going to be my heat to get congress to see the light. that's how we're going to-- >> (cheers). >> herman cain is joining me, and always good to see you. >> thank you, thanks a lot (applause) >> newt gingrich says if he's the next president he'd create jobs on day one. i'm going to ask newt how he plans to do that when we come back.

[applause] >> and somewhere between 50 and 200 executive orders,

basically beginning to repeal and replace the entire obama administration's initiatives. very first executive order would wipe out all of the white house czars effective as of that minute. [applause]. >> mike: very popular with my studio audience here. i'm assuming it would be with a lot of people across the country. >> for example, and also we're developing these, they'll be published by october 1st next year and everybody will know exactly what's coming down and road and what they'll get with annuity gingrich presidency and many will be effective job creation. for example, if you were to have, as i would, to repeal the obama regulations on producing oil and gas off shore for louisiana and texas, create about 120,000 new jobs and pretty good jobs at $80,000 a year and up. that would be one step, a building block, if you will, however, on the morning after the election, i will ask the

new incoming congress to begin by the third or fourth of january repealing the dodd frank bill. repealing sarbanes oxley, so that literally the day i'm sworn in, i will be able to sign a series of dramatic repeals that will enable us to start job creation overnight. dodd frank does to financial services what obama care does to health. and the fact is, if you repeal it, you help small banks, small businesses, home owners, you begin to bring back up the price of home ownership so people have their investments back. a no single step would start the economy more rapidly than repealing the dodd frank bill so my goal would be to-- even before i'm sworn in to work with the new congress to get things done so i could start signing on the first day. >> mike: a lot of people would agree the dodd frank bill has been absurd and it's punished good banks because of a

handful of really big banks that misbehaved and that's got to be a good thing and i've got to run on. this is another issue you've talked about is bringing the courts back under the constitution. i want you to talk to me about what you mean by that. >> well, again, the paper we just published which is at newt.org and i outlined yesterday at the voters value summit, or the value voters summit, rather, the house and president have a right to correct the supreme court when they're wrong. it's not supreme over the president and congress and i think a number of steps we can do. take. for example, there's a judge in san antonio who issued a ruling on june 1st that students not only couldn't pray at their graduation, they couldn't say the word prayer, they couldn't say the word invocation, they couldn't say the word benediction, they couldn't ask the audience to stand. they couldn't mention god and this judge said, and if they do he's going to lock up the

superintendent. totally unamerican, and i would say anti-american. i would move to abolish his office, to strip him as a judge because he should not be serving on the u.s. judiciary.

and wanted to kiss me and i said, oh, daddy, stop that. you know, don't do that and so i went and got my sister. aen i told her and she said, oh, he wouldn't do-- daddy wouldn't do that and i said, yeah, i said you wait. so i went back in and he tried again. and my sister came in, and my oldest sister and she was shaking her finger at him and, yeah, you know, it was tough because that, that trust. and yet, i think it sets up a confusion in a child because you love that person so much, you want them to be well, you want them to be healthy. this was the days before oprah. people didn't have the opportunity to hear stories of other people. no one knew this was going on. >> no one knew. and i was raised you know, a strict catholic so you didn't talk about those things, you didn't ever talk about your family. you never said anything bad about your family. and so all of those things,

you know? but i think if you're the child of an alcoholic, you become very hypervigilant, very aware. >> mike: there are so many great nuggets that are real treasures from the book carol-- florence. >> he almost called me carol brady. >> mike: i did, almost-- going to hit me after the show. >> would you forgive anything with that dimple. look at that, that's so cute, so adorable. [laughter] >> florence, i want to ask you about, there with as a special moment you talk about in the book you were asked to do a role in which you would be in a nun's habit and you said no that you had too much respect for the sisters and i thought that was a remarkable display of your own sense of honor towards some of the people who had been your teachers? >> i owe everything to my teachers. i received an honorary doctorate from a college in kentucky where i went to high school and my whole speech was about my teachers and many of them were in the audience.

father o'brien who used to throw me out of class for talking would let me back in if i would sing an irish song. [laughter] >> they were nurturing me, i didn't realize that, but teachers to me, and i was raised by the benedictine nuns and priests and i owe them so much, i owe them so much and teachers throughout my life, you know,here are so many people that you meet in life, who become your teacher. and i never forget that ever. >> mike: we'll never forget you, florence henderson you're a delightful person to be around and i'm glad i had a chance to-- >> thank you, governor huckabee, i'm a fan of yours. >> mike: i need all i can get. pass it on. >> why don't you run again? because we need somebody out there that-- >> i might have a shot if florence henderson might be the running mate. >> you'ren, i'm in. >> mike: that would be the deal. [applause]. >> god bless you. >> mike: i appreciate it, so very much.
