wall street journal. >> it is great. >> back to you, greg. >> you did a marvelous job. >> phil, >> tonight on huckabee. there is a new leader in the gop race. when you are number one. and devil in the details. does it add up. they break it down. plus. they are occupying wall street. but can they affect the democrats as the tea party did for republicans? >> and a fall at work? erased more than four decades of his memory forever. >> you wouldn't want to live like this. it is been horrific.

when his past gone. he struggle to start from scratch. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. ♪ >> >> mike: hi, everybody. grade audience and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. viewers last week thought i was contemptous of the protestors who took over manhattan in occupy wall street. i realize among the teaming mobs that took over and trashed streets and parks are genuine citizens who are disgusted with the loss of jobs. it is not capitalism but the abuse of it before the debacle of tarp. we don't just have a money problem in america but a moral problem. we stop using wall street for a place for products and

serves and start turning into a government-backed casino and pay out are higher. if you win, keep it. but if you lose uncle sugar will bail ow out from the money that he confiscated stiffs that will lose their yobs while the bosses get rich. >> it is apparent that men of the people making a mess of manhattan don't care it is hurting the support staff than the top paid executives. misguided notion that all of the plame -- blame is wall street. there are cull pitable -- cupable firms. they couldn't do that if not for the well paid lobbyist in dc who won favors for the

clients. don't let congress off of the hook. laws they passed created winners and losers instead of letting market forces decide who stays and who goes. that's the fault of politicians from both the left and right. but to demonize all business? that is misguided. protestors need to find out what the private sector does and vacate wall street. >> think about this. what if all of the private sector businesses decide to vacate for a day . they just shut down. would our lives be improved if the oil companies refuse to pay or the banks shut down the atm's and teller lines and airlines and bus companis and hotels shut down for the entire day. if all of the restaurants and

florist. and law offices and what if walmart and home depo and apple computer quit for a day. how would shutting down business make your lives better? americans have a right to be angry. but it ought to be focused and thoughtful in the members of congress and the k-street lobbyist that call the shots and have more to do with it than those on wall street. i welcome yours and you can contact me with your thoughts at mike huckabee.com. sign up for my facebook page or follow me on twitter. this week president obama adds cent million to the reelection war chest. his poll numbers show that americans are not happy with him. remember it is grass roots inthusiasm for him three weeks

ago. ♪ had [ singing ] ♪ i got a crush on obama. >> over 23 million people watched that video on youtube. and there is no doubt that obama girl helped to get the president-elected but guess what. she is not a fan. please welcome amber, the original obama girl. >> hi, amber. >> guest: good to see you . thanks for having me. >> mike: what made obama attractive for president four years ago. >> guest: he showed hope and charis maand kind of good looking, right . he got people excite when i did that video one of the

biggest rewards was getting e-mails from people and commentos youtube. this video inspired me to vote. i thought that was awesome. one youtube video got young people to the polls and it was a satire video. who would have thought. for me that was a big reward. >> mike: you were quoted this week in a arcticle and you are not that excited about obama's reelection why? >> guest: i think it is like a relationship. when you first meet the guy and girl they are amaze wonderful and can do no wrong and you are in lala-land. everything was all good and time goes by, maybe he's not all what he's cracked up to be. i am not turning my back on him completely. he is the president and i still hope for him. he has a year left. but has he had a hard time

communicate getting what he wants across absolutely. >> mike: if you had another. do you have somebody else that you might do a video for. >> guest: what are you up to? >> mike: i am up to the show right now. you know, you said wonderfully nice things and said i was very, very nice person. and that meant a lot to me and i my staff had a great idea. just in case we might should prepare a t-shirt for you just in case. >> guest: thank you so much. >> mike: you would be ready. >> guest: you are the nicest person that i ever met. and it brings me to tears. you have been the nicest person to me in the past four years. >> mike: i wanted everyone to know what a delightful person is. she got a lot of criticism and

how to unfair. to know her is to know this special and lovely and articulate and thoughtful young lady. this is for you. and i am looking for what is next in the career and you will tell us when itapped. >> guest: i will. thank you. you will know first. >> mike: there seems to be a theme in the new hampshire debate herman cain's opponents took every chance they took to attack the 9-9-9 plan. >> i think it is a catchy phrase and i thought it was a price was a pizza when i 1st hashed of it. >> 9-9-9 is not a jobs plan but a tax plan. last thing you would do is give congress another pipe line of revenue stream and this gives congress a pipe line in sales tax. >> unlike herman cain's. how many of you are for a sales tax in new hampshire. there you go, herman.

that's how many votes in new hampshire. >> mike: his plan may not be that popular with the fellow candidates it is registering with voters. herman cain is the new leader of the republican field. we have invited herman back to the show and he will be with us. but we'll hear two tax experts debate the merits of the 999 plan. and right now. kevin and michael. director for tax and budget policy at the senior for american progress join me. get to talking about this. michael, first of all what is wrong with 999.

it would be big tax cuts for wealthy people and tax increases for anybody making less than $50or $60-000 a year. >> mike: going to mr. hassit. what do you like about 9-9-9. >> guest: there is three things about 9-9-9. first is, it is a credible plan. i taught tax with the senior economicist and studied in graduate cool. and this is modeled after the baste science there is about the best kind of tax code. it is a credible plan and the numbers add up. mr. cain hired socs to do a score and you need 6 -- 9.wopto get the number to add

up. and that is in the margin of error. and the firm that mr. cain hired is the same i hired in the 2000. 9-9-9 would create growth in jobs. if you go back to a book i wrote, co-authored with alen in berkeley, you could guess you would get 5 or 10 percent if we adopted a plan like this and reduce unemployment rate two orly percent. and the people who are saying that it is a cocka mamie scheme are ignoring the litature. >> i can see why they don't call it 9.1 plan. it would be less than catchy. michael you it would hurt poor people but it lowered the cost of goods when you take away

the corporate taxes and would it make it possible that poom would pay tax and buy things at a cheaper rate. >> no. unfortunately not. corporate tax falls on the owners and labor that work for the corporation but not passed on to conscumers. the price not much higher because of the corporate income tax. we are talking nine percent that cain and the business income tax which is essentially another sales tax. we are talking 18 percent sales tax and that would jack prices way up and another population we need to talk about. elderly retired people. they have saved up money and they paid income taxurped the old plan and it would be less because good and services they

buy are 18 percent more. >> kevin. final word quickly. respond to what michael just said. >> right, the fact that it would increase the tax on consumption. but the voters would have the power to not pay if they put the money in the bank you save 18 percent on taxs and you take home top line of your paycheck and decide how much tax you pay if you spend. that is why it is so -- terps of welfare if you impact the unemployment rate, people who don't have jobs right now. they are the worst off in society. if you give them jobs it is a big step. >> i wish i could talk to you more. but i will let herman cain weigh in on. kevin and michael thank you very much for evaluating the 9-9-9 plan. did you watch our tax experts

and get to the debate. >> yes. >> we'll take a break and when we come back. hold that thought. we'll get it right after this break. herman cain

>> mike: you heard the criticism of herman cain's we have herman cain joining us from tennessee and heal tell us why it is a good one. herman you heard it would hurt lower income people. true or not true. >> guest: that is false and here's why. and governor you pointed it out. what a lot of people don't understand is, 9-9-9 plan and the sales tax piece is a replacement tax. we are going to replace invisible taxes that are embedded in all products and services with a visible tax and as a result of that

competitors will take out invisible taxes so the costs of goods go down and they pay nine percent retail tax they will not being paying anymore. we are taking invisible taxes that are embed replace it with a visible tax of a nine percent retail sales tax. >> you talk about invisible taxings. you are talking about the tax that is built in because was pay roll taxes and the products as they are developed and corp rages and this is what people don't understand. corporations don't pay tax they collect it and pass it in the cost of what they are doing. whether a product or service. you are saying it is transparent and you know what you are paying. >> you are right, gov goch. take a loaf of bread. producers who makes the flour

and sell its to the baker has to make a profit to pay taxs and the baker has to sell it to the grocery store and he's got to make a profit to make its taxs and the grocery store sells to the consumer and he has to make a profit to pay the taxes. you have all of those embedded taxes in the cost of the leaf've loaf of bread. we don't tax the production of the bread and you pay that nine percent because costs of goods go down. it liberates the poor because tax prices go up and they don't pay retail taxes on used goods just like the fair tax. >> when you talk about a loaf of bread. we get the heels and the government gets the loaf. and i want to ask another criticism this hurts senior

citizens. that is a question you will have to deal with. what is the response? the response it does not hurt senior citizens for the following reason. if you are on social security you don't pay taxes. you have already paid it. and if you have investments and you are living off dividends, you don't pay taxes on dividends twice. you already paid it manner seniors are living off social security or dividend or income from stocks. things only get taxed once. thoo that's a big advantage to seniors. so to say that seniors will be negatively impacted no. goods and services they buy, here again just like on the poor, prices will go down so they will not be negatively impacted by the sales tax. >> i want to talk to you more.

we'll take a brief back and you go next if you had a hoveround power chair? the statue of liberty? the grand canyon? it's all possible with a hoveround. tom: hi i'm tom kruse, inventor and founder of hoveround. when we say you're free to see the world, we mean it. call today and get a free hoveround information kit that includes a video and full color brochure. dennis celorie: "it's by far the best chair i've ever owned." terri: "last year, 9 out of 10 people got their hoveround for little or no money."

[applause] we are right back with herman cain and so grateful for your being here today. you were in tennessee and my question as a former candidate in this point of th game. what are earth are you doing in tennessee instead of iowa or new hampshire or south carolina? >> the reason is simple, mike. you know some states have changed the schedule as to when they will hold their primary. and some stites states are trying to decide if they would use portion allocation and

what it has done. compressed the campaign season leading up to primary and caucus season and that means states like tennessee will impact bigger than they would have had traditionally. it makes sense to spend time in tennessee. next weekend i will be in iowa. i haven't forgotten iowa and south carolina and new hampshire. >> worried that question next week. you caught lightning in bottle. a few weeks ago they were not talking about herman cain and now they have talked about herman cain. i have been there it is a good thing and people are talking about you in ways you wish they wouldn't. now they are digging up everything you said and did and discuss personally how are you and your family dealing with the sudden moment in the spotlight and criticisms and

some of them personal crit sitches that come. >> that is a great point, you have been there. since the beginning of my campaign, i have left my family out of this. i have been criticized where is your wife in she's at home. i want to go home to machine who is sane and she maintains that calmness and tranquily and my wife provides calmness and tranquility and with all of the new found attention that i get, i am used to it and i can handle it. my family is not subjected to it. they will eventually see my wife and family. my wife of 43 years. she's not running for president. herman is. and so i am deal the criticism and as you know, mike you will get fair criticism and unfair criticism and having been in

the radio business and having been an executive and ceo, we learn to deal with those things in the leadership roles and this is not a new rodeo that i haven't been to before. >> herman what is the most unfair thing said and one thing you want to correct here today? >> the most unfair thing tt is said, about me, has been that i am not in this to win it. that is the furtherest thing from the truth. i am not doing this for any other reason than to win because i am committed to changing the direction in the nation . i knew before the surge of the last two weeks that the american people, the voice of the people would eventually shine through because the voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media and this is what the perception that i want to

correct . it is now beginning to show and i am happy about that. >> herman. it is great to see you and taking time off of the campaign trail and i hope to see you again sometimes soon. >> thank you, michael. >> thank you. and some say occupy wall street protestors should not blame the rich for their famures but their movement is the liberal version of the tea party. is

i am harris falker and now back to huckabee. >> e-mail us at huckabee @ fox news.com. >> i hope you are not missing my daily commentary of the news of the day. it is heard on 600 of the finest radio station. go to mikehuckabee.com, sign up for my facebook page or

follow me on twitter. >> we can see how the tea party has affected the politic. what about if occupy wall street affects it. joining me is editor of the above the law.comand some of the gripes are worth listening to. >> is there room for a left leaning tea party in this country. >> they have tried and they have failed. tea party is a grass roots organization and what we are seeing in wall street right now is something that is led and organized by left wing union george soros groups and they are proped up with people with political agenda. >> you have been down there and tell me what you like and what is not yet to love. >> it is funny to suggest that

they are oginized in any way. they are like a herd of cats. one of thes of the movement is to be disorganized and smur there are some laborun whys down in the part. there are environmentalist and immigrant groups and they are two groups that hit each other with sticks. we are not talking about a group that has a essential focus. they don't want a essential focus. that is a critism of them that they could be more focus. to be a tea party of the left they would have to coalesce to core issues. >> one of the things that was interesting of the survey of folks down there. less than 40 percent of them had voted. these are not voters yet. they could be turned into voters . what does that tell us? >> the movement down there, when they first started, i was amuse hopeful that they

opposed the bank bail outs. but they turned that into a critick against capitalism. socialism bailed them out . that was the government. and taking the taxpayer dollars to bail out cronis and allies. capitalism would have allowed them to fail and reorganize. kids calling this capitalism needs to go away. most americans find radical to the left. >> i think we are looking at two sides of the same coin. in the beginning tea party and occupy wall street opposed the bank bail outs. tea party backed off when it was time to regulate the bankers. occupy wall street let's keep up with the regulations. >> what do they want? do they want somebody else to pay their loans. >> yes.

>> no, they don't want a free ride. they want forgiveness . the morality is people who made mistakes when they were 18 and want to be forbegin for those mistake find a way to get out from under the mountain of debt. >> mike: they want a bail out. couldn't that be a bail out if it was forbegin. >> no, it is interesting aspect of student loans . i take my credit card and i buy rims and that doesn't pay off for me, i discharge that through normal procedures. if i take out loans and it doesn't pay off for me and i am not able to pay them off. i cannot discharge that debt. i am saddled with that loan for the rest of the life. >> mike: fair criticism. >> it is it a matter of the responsibility. we have coddled people with

cradle to grave welfare and my daughter just graduated and he worked herself through school and had time to march in the marching band and makes more money than i do and has her house. when they are taking bongo classes and look like circus clowns that are consequences for your actions. you want to forgive all of this as long as i am paying for it. >> no, during the recession that there are people trugling and doing everything right and not able to get a job. >> fantastic discussion. great to hear you talk and i wish we could go on a little more. next wedding day, our first child was born. we all have happy moments that we never forget. scott bowles had them, too. and he can't remember them. and he can't remember them. he is tackling

even though they were married. >> he had fall nen the men's room and hit his head on the floor. at first he had a concussion and sent him home saying his memory would return. and three years later, it hasn't. scott suffered profound amnesia and one of the most severe cases on record. he forgot everything about the first 46 years of his life. memories that are posed to last. wedding day and birth of his children and playing pro football all gone. >> scott has spent time since the accident building new memoris and trying to rebuild a relationship with his wife and kids. his struggle is told in my life deleted. they join me now. it is so nice to have you here with this remarkable story.

scott, tell us the last thing you remember before waking up. >> when i got to the hospital, i had some memories of the event. i had told the hospital staff that i had fallen and the last thing i remember my feet going above my head. i had forgotten all of those memories of my previous life. i had some memories that are scramble. i just dropped my wife off at the she hadn't worked there two and half years. things were leaving me in the emergency room. i could tell was wrong and winning several hours, by the time my wife was there. >> like a hard drive completely erased. joanne when you first talked to scotty and he didn't know where you were. you thought it was temporary. >> i am an emergency room nurse in the past and i knew

he would be confused and fuzzy. but the more, he had a horrified look on this face and just like lot of. it seemed more than confused and he didn't know anything at all. >> you have seen a lot of neurologist and nurge u surgeons and talked to doctors. are they surprised that this much memory loss for this long of a period of time. that is remarkable. >> it is the flustering thing for me a as a nurse i couldn't get a worry. and it took time to give the test thag was why his brain is doing this . shutting down to that connection because of the loss of oxygen. ut were on the show the doctors. the doctors themselves are overwhelmed with the unique situation you faced.

>> in nigh cane years of practice, i never saw a case like scott. the scan was a surprise. this say normal thing. a ribbon of color where the blood flood occurred. this is scott's brain scain. reduced blood flow. >> and very something is different. some are thinking you are making it up. how could you make that up? i don't think you could. >> if you could you wouldn't want to live like this. it is horrific and a lot of instance a living hell. the loss of identity. >> you didn't know who your kids were. >> i had no idea what a child was and let alone how a father interacts with a child. i learned how to be a father by the way taylor and my son

grant responded to me. for a long time. taylor was my parent. she taught me, you raise a child, this is what you -- this is the examples you set. >> taylor what was the hardest part of the dealing with a father who didn't know you anymore? >> the hardest part for me. a daughter, you look up to your father for the answer. i always go to my dad for the answer. i always go -- not that i don't go to my mom. >> mike: you are in so much trouble. >> not that i don't go to her for thingings. but the father figure thingings. i would always go to him, and in a day i had to switch roles and now i am teaching him things and that is hardest thing for me. i never saw my dad in pain. if he had a surgery, the next day he's walk going to work. he was not the type of guy in a cast or used critches.

that was not him. as a football player, it was never his thing . to see him in pain, probably the hardest thing i had to go through. >> joanne are you reconstruct being everything for scott his childhood and adolescent and early life as a nfl player. is it a matter of the rebuilding the memory. >> i tried to give him a time line of major events that as we went along as we were married. his family and parents were alive thankfully and they filled in childhood memoris and things and we started with major events and he would say, oh, sea world fun. we were there and i would go and get pictures and show him with the kids at sea world and reteach him those thingings. >> did you have motor skill memories . you have to learn that, too. >> from our understanding that

is stored in a different part of the brain. i knew how to use the fork or knife and tooth brush. but i didn't know the word tooth brush. >> i couldn't recall a lot of the worlds and i jumbled a lot of the words. >> joanne when you reconstruct his memories did you tell him he washed the dishs and cleans the clothes. >> you are on to me. you are good. i tweaked it just a little bit. >> mike: an opportunity. >> you know my girlfriends got creative really fast. oh, that is horrible oh, my gosh. you have the most amazing opportunity. >> mike: for those brief little thing that is might be good for you. i can only imagine how tough it has been and what a remarkable story. in your book. life delete it is given to everyone of our members of the stoudio odd yotes and they
