i'll see you halfway through huckabee which starts in, russe give me, eight, eight on the clock seconds. >> . >> mike: tonight on huckabee, president obama wants to help europeans with their money problems. >> the most important aspect of our task is to resolve the financial crisis here in europe. >> what about the financial mess here in america, should the president be focused on getting his own house in order. fox business network's lou dobbs is here with the answers and former secretary of state condoleezza rice, on tensions inside the bush white house. >> we did have our disagreements. i had no problems making my views known. >> and whether the former president should get some of the credit for the current administration's victories on the war on terror. >> i think that president bush has been vindicated. >> plus, tony orlando honors

america's veterans. ♪ ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applaus [applause] >> thank you very much, welcome, everybody. welcome to huckabee, the fox news studios in new york city, where we've got a great audience with us here today in the studio. you know, after the uproar over the allegations of sexual harassment by herman cain, i realized that i myself have been a victim of sexual harassment and i didn't even know it. fly through the atlanta airport often, sometimes several days a week. my favorite place for a quick meal on the go is popeyes chicken in terminal b the the food is quick and delicious and i adore the staff there,

they speak the southern language and i understand. in light of the herman cain controversy it might not have been southern again tillty, but sexual harassment because the ladies behind the counter call me honey, sweetie and darling. maybe instead of feeling at home i should have been offended, call the lawyer, and demanded free spicy chicken for life. i mean, i should have known something was inappropriate when they asked me if i wanted legs, breasts or thighs. (laughter) >> and then wanted to know did i want them spicy. and what about when they asked if i wanted my tea sweetened, and all that have time, i thought it was just a friendly transaction over chicken, homemade biscuits and cajun rice. and i need to wait 15 years to work up outrage oon need to do it anonymously so the nice

ladies behind the counter are going to get raked throughout the mud throwing media without knowing who is accusing them. i'm the not making light of real sexual harassment, but allegations against a man trying to become president are far and away tame to the real life actions of men who have actually been president and whose actions were not 15 years before they ran, but while in office. and the media wasn't this worked up over a white democratic candidate who not only fathered a child with his staff or mistress while his wife was dying of cancer did you, but he paid to hush it up and-- i'm not keen about allegations on things that happened years ago and suddenly surface in the most critical stage of an election. a highly partisan democrat that i can't retain and $80,000 a year state job mate totally false allegations that i had pressured the state parole board to release an inmate, but took her six years to decide that.

oh, just before i was up for reelection. or how about the staff membered i fired for lying or probably stealing and then accused me of misusing state funds. she was the talker to the press the months before my election, but when a democrat activists filed a lawsuit against me based on the blathering, she had to testify underoath during depositions and when confronted with telling the truth or perjuring herself she pleaded the fifth amendment so as to not incriminate herself. the lawsuit against me was dropped and those who filed it admitted there was not a truth in it and based on a curiosity, reading news accounts of disgruntled and dismissed exemployee. we have issues in this country. raging unemployment. foreclosures for many home owners and small business operators going belly up and a national debt that's destroying our future and surely those issues matter a whole lot more than a southern

man calling an employee, sweetie, 15 years ago. [applause] >> and i welcome yours, you can contact me at mike huckabee.com and sign up for facebook or follow me on twitter. click on the fox news feedback section and i read your comments, even the ones that aren't nice. i read those, too. you can contact me there or ill he' see you at popeye's chicken at terminal b at the atlanta airport. well, we know times are tough. even though the unemployment rate was down to 9% last month. and the number of new jobs added is also down to the fewest in four months. the slow job growth is barely enough, however, to keep up with the population growth. but you should be be thankful. yes, you should be thanking god for the democrats, and do you know why? well, i 'm going to let nancy pelosi it will you. >> i'll he tell you this, if president obama, house and

congressional democrats would not acted we would be at 16% unemployment. again, no conlation for those out of jobs, but an important point to make. >> well, is the house minor leader right? let's ask fox business network's lou dobbs. >> great to be with you. [applause] >> and nancy pelosi sound bite where she says if it hadn't been for president obama we'd be the 15% unemployment. react to that. >> should i brack it to the house minority leader that the effective rate of unemployment right now is about 20%. and that we've got 25 million people in this country. unemployed, underemployed or giving up being employed and that this administration waited until the third year, late in the third year of his term as president? >> and take on the issue in a serious manner. >> you think that maybe she's gotten a little friendly with that medical marijuana law in california to say something like that. >> well, i, random testing for

members of congress might not be a bad idea. >> in all seriousness. >> by the way i mean that in an acumencalloway, of course. >> and help our audience understand why the 9% is not the whole story. >> that 9% is measured on household, it is an estimate, it does not include those people who are discouraged workers who have become detached from the work force, as they put it, who simply said i'm no longer going to be looking down going for a job. i surrender. we've got 4 million people who have been unmro employed in this country. for a period of six months or longer, it's the longest, long-term greatest long-term unemployment in our country's history since the great depression and it's stunning and the lack of attention that

it receives. >> mike: president obama was in cannes, france for a g20 summit and he made a he remarkable statement i'd like to get a reaction from you. >> i don't knowing it's no surprise we spent most of are our conversations focused on strengthsening the global economic recover so we're stabilizing the financial markets around the world. the most important aspect of our task over the next two days is it to resolve the financial crisis here in europe. here at the g20 we're going to have to flesh out more of the details about how the plan will be fully and decisively implemented. >> mike: first of all, have you ever seen a man look more uncomfortable than nicolas sarkozy looked in that, standing there with barack obama? >> well, the president, the answer is that's got to be right up there with him. i've got to say he did a very good job of-- he is really trying, fighting

himself, as he's listening to a, to the leader of the world's only super power, saying about as obvious thing as one could in that. and furthermore, the decisiveness that he was talking about? i mean, my gosh, this resulted in no comment from the entire 19 of the g20 and the united states is still trying to figure out what happened. >> mike: lou, isn't it a little surreal that the president after country that's doubled its debt in the last couple of years under his administration now goes to france and lectures europe how dangerous it is to get into debt? >> as we know, this president is given to lecturing and obviously enjoys it and this administration is also not about hipocracy. you have he' got longstanding evidence of that. i can't believe though that he would actually do this in front of the entire world. as you saw, the man was basically trying to stay awake as he started talking about creating jobs.

and i know he may have been tired, it was a long arduous trip on air force one all the way over to cannes, but he's got to bear up, it's a hard job as more than one or two presidents reminded us. >> mike: when he talks about the debt and obviously, europe is in a deep, deep hole. >> right. >> mike: and greece almost brought the world back to its knees when the prime minister at least for a day or so suggesting we're going to get the people vote, as if the greek people are going to vote on as tearty. we know how well that goes over in greece. even having pulled that back, europe is in such a mess and yet we're not that far behind them, are we lou? >> in some ways, we're ahead of them. we're a world leader and talking about 100% of gdp right now and the national debt going over above that over the course of the next two years. one of the things i find incredibly ironic, greece, the birthplace of democracy in this world almost lost a prime

minister because he had the audacity to suggest that they be democratic about things and put the austerity program to a vote on the part of the greek people. the elites of europe weren't having any of that. we can't do that democracy is a good idea until you put it into practice apparently when it comes to dealing with national debt and rolling back entitlements. >> they'll feel bet are when the german accountants come in and check to see how things are going. when we come back i'm going to ask lou, why fannie mae and freddie mac executives got the big bonuses. that's after your tax dollars bailed them out. more with lou dobbs when we come back (applause).

[applause] >> we are back with (applause) >> lou dobbs and it's a very interesting turn of events for barack obama. back in 2008, he talked about the abuse and executive power under george w. bush.

this was his comment, watch. >> the biggest problems we're facing right now have to do with george bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through congress at all and that's what i intend to reverse when i'm president of the united states of america. >> let's take a look and see how well he's done. this was the statement, october 24th, see if you notice something different. >> we can't wait for an increasingly dysfunctional congress to do its job. where they won't act, i will. >> lou, i know you're raring at the bit and all i've got to do is pull the rope and start the motor. >> the idea that this president has decided in the intervening three years for us to ignore the article of our confusion and to take decisive, bold action, we can't wait, he says. we've been waiting for the man for three years to deal with the number one issue in this country, which is unemployment. the joblessness, the lack of

hope for employment security for millions of americans. and suddenly, he can't wait? the idea that he criticized george w. bush for being a unilateralist in foreign policy and he's decide today become that in domestic policy, a unilateralist and one of the things that amazes me is how quietly they have stood, frankly, still. and allowed the president to make these statements, these proclamations and have basically said, you know, we'll just watch and see what happens. >> what should the the republicans be saying? what should their plan be right now? >> they should with great energy in my judgment and great strength of voice say point blank, these are the bills, 15 of which they have moved in the house of representatives to deal with joblessness, to deal with rolling back the type of government that has the created the same mess in this country that it has created in

socialist europe and if there is not an understanding on the part of the american people that we can the not have another government program panacea for every ailment that faces this nation, then, i don't know what's going to be required. we need leadership, strong, positive leadership. not only in the white house, but in congress, in which is, in academia and what we have is a president who is talking down markets, talking down the economy, and talking up government. and talking up more debt and greater spending, which are precisely the recipes that have created the stew we find ourselves in. >> one of the things that made a lot of our blood boil this week, having found out already failed out freddie mac and fannie mae, 13 million dollars worth of bonuses to the executives who made a mess of these organizations. >> right. >> your reaction? >> well, they've been nationalized so their risk is probably a little abated from that point.

they're now in receivership in the hands of the federal government entirely, and there was a time they were called government sponsored entities and these are no longer government sponsored entities, they're no risk that these executives manage. what would we pay for them to need, well, they just need another 6 billion right now and that will bring almost, bring the total to about 200 billion dollars. >> mike: 200 billion? >> 200 billion. what would they get in bonuses if they had gotten $250 billion of taxpayer money, would that increase that 15%, a quarter, i don't know. it's got to stop with the president saying the wealthy in this country are depriving of all reason and sense taking bonuses on wall street and he's not entirely wrong. >> mike: no, he's not. he criticizes the wall street bonus $and nothing so say, his press secretary won't say

something. i think there's a reaction that we as americans should have. he when people are given million dollar bonuses for wrecking their companies, one thing comes to mind. >> stupid is as stupid does. sir. you can't fix stupid. >> lou, i want to say to some of these people, here is your sign. >> this is, i think, you've got it exactly right. how dumb can we be and how dumb can we continue to do be. we are, by the way, this issen us. and as voters, as citizens, we have allowed the middle class to be run over like, i don't know, just to be completely run over by both political parties, i'm going to say it straight up. we've watched the president of the united states in cannes lead to g-20 meeting, and yur beans decided they wouldn't put money forward to bail out greece, we put money into the imf they were nice departing

cannes and sarkozy and merkel were nice enough if we would like to put money forward for the bailout of greece part three, that they would be delighted for us to do so. this president is strutting around like, well, maybe, you know, we'll be a big shot and do it. it's time to understand, foreign aid from china to pay for it, the idea that we're going to be the 20% sponsor of imf and that imf will be the fall guy and we will be the patsy in perpetuity, that's got to end. the idea that we're going to put up with presidents with one answer, more programs and spend taxpayer money. we've got to have a little more emergency nation, a lot more original thought and new wayses of moving in this country in a totally different direction. >> mike: lou, one of the reasons we like having you. it's a joy to be here. >> mike: thank you, lou dobbs. >> thank you. >> mike: a the lot of controversy brewing in mississippi over the vote this coming tuesday on the

[applause] >> before we talk about the person-- >> it's a real honor for me to be with you. >> mike: thank you, sir. >> in support of proposition 26. >> mike: and i want to talk about that in your unique life. you grew up in the deep south when life was not fair, you were not treated with the equity that you deserved as a human being. would you agree some of the things that you experienced, that the ms. cal violence from law enforcement and other things that you ternly experience and that in your family. i guess, first, my brother served in world war 2, came home and was home for about six months. he was killed, fighting for the rights of people and come

back to his own state where he was not himself enfranchized, mississippi was still operating the under the scott case, the white man, the black man has no rights, that the white man has to reintekt. you have to keen in mind the sprit state law was one person, one vote. and so we didn't get a chance to vote until 1964 with the act. we couldn't then go to the poll because of the fear of cklux clan. >> and they did not change the constitution to affirm that until 1970. and it was in 1970 that #22 of

us backs, fighting for voters right was almost beaten to death in the jail and tortured there. >> mike: dr. perkins this is not lost on me. mississippi was about the last state in the country to afford several rights to african-american citizens and on the cusp, to recognize the worth of every human life from conception. mississippi has the opportunity one of the greatest rehearseals in this country's history from human rights from that of disregarding them to regarding then more highly than any other state. is that significant to you as you look towards this election tuesday? >> we've come a long way since then and the reason i'm supporting this amendment. i believe in it, number one, i believe in light and jesus said if you have come light

and if you do bundle it. and we hold these to be true to be self-independent and all people are created equal. for me it's a chance to see my state affirm all life and all personwood. this is a wonderful time in our development. so, i have-- it's a wonderful moment for me, there of some things that all of us have questions about. but the firm light. that's all you have and to see the state of mississippi come that far is a big honor for me. >> mike: i want to say thank you, dr. perkins, i wish we could visit more, we've got to roll, but god bless your. >> thank you for having me. >> the epicenter of our national security trust, and security national security advisor and then secretary of state. her book "no higher honor" details life from the purchase

these people have palled around in the administration and they saw you as the interloping and new kid on the block. was that problematic? >> well, in fact, we did have our disagreements, but they were substantive disagreements and obviously, personalities sometimes make substantive disagreements more difficult bye they were not personal and i always felt that i understand a pretty good relationship with my colleagues, i never felt like an interloper. the fact is that the national security advisors job is not to impose his or her will and not to make a big deal of my opinion, but rather to try to bring to the president the various opinions and to try to coordinate the policy. obviously, the structurally as secretary of state. i had no problems making my views known in a much more forthright way he so there is indeed a difference between the way that the national security advisor plays as an honest broker and what you're able to do with the cabinet

secretary. >> i think everyone understood that you had a very special, unique and close bond with the president. you'd been one of his closest advisors during the campaign and you went with him into the white house as national security advisor, later he entrusted you with the position of secretary of state. did that closeness of position and the relationship sometimes make it difficult for you to disagree with the president on policy or was it easier to disagree with him because you did have that kind of relationship? >> i really think it was easier to disagree with the president because we had that relationship. so, you don't disagree with the president publicly. i never wanted any of the differences that we might have had to somehow spill over into the press and so, when i disagreed, we talked about it alone. he was ultimately president and so when he made a decision, i was going to carry it out. the, but, we did have very, very deep conversation

sometimes about what we disagreed and i felt it was better for him that i tell him and easier for us to get through the disagreements and go ahead. >> mike: this presidential race on the republican party has been focused on the issues and virtually no discussion of foreign policy and even one of the candidates saying i wasn't that sure about who led the u becky, uzbekistan and got some pushback from president karzai and secretary of state hillary clinton. do the candidates need to be talking more about foreign policy? because we're certainly not hearing it in the debates and not hearing it on the stump and if so, why is that important to the american people right now who are concerned about having a job. >> i'd like to see more on foreign policy and i would start with the question. do you think that america is special and therefore has a special role in the world? i think we do. we're exceptional, an

exceptional country and without u.s. leadership particularly in a time when so much is in chaos out of the global financial crisis, out of the arab spring, u.s. leadership is needed or there will be chaos or worse, someone who doesn't share our values, doesn't share our interests, will lead and that won't be very good for us either. it's a very interconnected world and our prosperity, our well-being and our safety and security are very much connected to what goes on in the world at large. yes, i would like to hear more discussion on foreign policy and i understand, too, that our first job, job one is to do some of the internal repair that will allow us to have a strong basis from which the lead. and so, i don't begrudge the candidates the time to tell the american people how they're going to stimulate private sector led growth. how they're going to deal with immigration, how they're going

to deal with the deteriorating k 12 education system and there's no doubt that those are the issues they're most on american's minds and ultimately without that strong foundation, we won't lead very effectively either. >> if one of the candidates were to ask you what part of the world were they to be most concerned about, where do they need to be more-- what would be your guide? >> well, clearly, still the middle east is the world's most volatile region and we need to be concerned there and pakistan is a constant problem, but i would really urge the candidates to think hard about how they're going to deal with mexico, how we're going to help the mexicans get, get a handle on what is a very serious now struggle to control the northern border of mexico and therefore, our southern border, where the cartels are really outgunning even the mexican armed forces, and so, while there are a lot of bad trouble spots in the world, we really have to have

security on that border and the mexican government is fighting a good fight, but we really need to be good partners for them in that. >> president obama campaigned almost as passivist and he was critical of policies to gitmo and towards the surge. virtually every one of the foreign policy initiatives of the bush administration, i'm assuming you had to bite your tongue and do you feel vindicated since the president kept gitmo and pursued aggressive approaches in afghanistan, do you ever feel vindicated from all that? >> well, i had a sense when president obama actually got into the oval office and had responsibilities for keeping the american people safe that he might see it's just like guantanamo bay in a clearer light, that he might understand, that an ungoverned

territories like the northwest frontier between pakistan and afghanistan, we're in a different war and the frame work that president bush left in place for him. the patriot act which allowed us to close that terrible gap between internal intelligence and foreign intelligence that led directly to how little we knew about the plot on 9/11 that the efforts we've made to take the al-qaeda filed generals off the battlefield and to get information from them so we knew how al-qaeda operated. i had a sense that president obama would start to understand why we've done some of what we did and yes, i think that president bush has been vindicated for the way he led the country after 9/11. >> mike: well, the book is called "no higher honor. madam secretary, thank you for being with us.

experiences. so when veterans come home is when they need us the most. and i think the vietnam veterans did not get the love they deserved. i think america realizes that and i think we should see different in america now when our young men come back from afghanistan and iraq and opened arms and love and it should be. >> mike: and when they do a performance, you do far more than that. i want you to talk about what you're doing this coming week for veterans day in branson, missouri. >> when i went to branson, i want today take the yellow ribbon, a song that welcomes vets home and give them a show for free. my dream was to have them have a free music, free dinner, onset advance day from all of us in this country and some day that may happen. i'd like to see it happen. >> that would be great. >> and i want that to be my
