>> tonight on huckabee, a environment with a decline in moral. is this bitter sentiments of a exgoldman saches employee. what it means for your money. and the soldier accused of the massacre in afghanistan was on his fourth combat tour. will he face the death penalty in judge janine weighs in . plus, the murder of his daughter jonbenet hasn't been solve would and how his faith helped him in the darkest hours of his life. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee . >> thank you, thank you very much. here on st. paddy's weekend .

a very eye lively crowd of people in our studio. welcome to huckabee. we are live from the fox news studios in new york city. let me say a lot of people have their short in the wad because of a proposal to require a photopays-id to vote. why is this a point of contention with democrats. we should not make it difficult for people to exercise the right to vote and if people neither have or need a driver's license, then the state ought to provide a free photoid. i wouldn't mind if we had several get your photoid days. and i am sure churches and political parties would provide transportation . railing against having a photo-id to vote escapes my common sense radar screen. it is getting partisan and

irerational. this week the u.n. human rights agreed to hear a complaint about the laws passed in eight states and pending in 32 others. the u.n. rightates commission passing judgment on our voting is bastions of china, cuba and saudi arabia . where a woman can show a photo-id and still not allowed to vote. i suggest a faster and easier way to determine if the u.n. believes it is a violation of human rights to see a photo-id. walk in off of the treat and demand to sit in on the u.n. rights commission meeting without a photo-id? you think that will happen? of course not. disenfranchised is the battle cry. but the point being missed, if a person votes fraudulently.

that disenfranchised a legitimate voters regardless. i have to show a photo-id to get in the plane or building in manhattan. i can't see my congressman without eye photo-id. try to get in to the white house. you have to talk about the social security number and size of skies. delta sky club i have to show a photoid and when the agent calls me by name and knows i am a diamond flyier. it is good to see you mr. huckabee, can i see your photoid. i don't want to intimidate someone. feign they were voting for me. i -- if a photoid is needed to

cash a check or buy liquor and get on a plane or building why is it a problem to ask for it when we vote? that is my vote? i welcome yours and contact me with whatever that view is. go to mike huckabee.com. on the fox feed back section or go to my facebook page and you can follow me on twitter and by the way, the book, simple government, new york times best seller in the paper back edition and available at book stores everywhere and on amazon.com. earlier this week, the justice department rejected texas new voters identification law. they said it would disporportionately harm latinos under the federal voting act. we want to make sure our elections are free from fraud and there is no proof that elections are marred by in

person voters fraud. you are coming up with a mechanism that makes it more difficult to exercise the most fundmental of american rights. that is the right to vote. >> it is time for the rapt card x. handing out grades today. editor of above the law.comx. community organizer and fox news contractor sally cohen x. rob bert dobey. he is my good friend here today. let's talk about the voters id law. because i am having trouble trying to understand why this is such a stumbling block. elle, help me. i am sincere . what is the problem. >> i will give holder and the system a c. >> a c? >> voters id laws are most racially and political plea motivated laws. a box of crayons is more color

blind than the average voters id law. >> in one due respect. you say voters id to show a photois racial, >> uh-huh. >> is it racial to show one to get a check cashed. >> there is a law that is intended to be racist. >> you believe that is what it is for? >> no. it is not intended. there is a difference with racist laws and laws that have a racial impact. i decided that no one could hold a parade in march. that might not be a public policy point but it will affect irish people and catholic people who have the pride parade. that's what holder is saying it is not racist but has a raciall impact . this is not my fault. since texas has a bit of a history here we have to hold

them to a standard. >> i guess i don't get that. you are nodding your head. >> i think he put it well and i give the attorney general and administration an a plus. >> of course you do, sally . >> come on. you know i will critize when appropriate. but in this one, look, we all agree that one of the most important right to preserve is the right to vote and distingish between getting on a plane and buying liquor. >> i don't know to the people in st. paddy's. >> today may be fine. >> and i saw it was sacred. >> right and liberty and green beer. but that aside, look everything that ell, said is great. every state that looked into the alleged voters fraud. one, two, three cases of voters fraud. but here republicans, and it is republicans who are putting

in the laws that we know discourage people of color to go to the polls. >> robert. what do you give the attorney general on this one and i am not see . i am really trying. you give him . what >> a z . >> that is a new grade. plause plause -[applause] >> you will intermert the z for us. >> you know, look. my grandparents were immigrants and my grandfather fought in world war i. and two purple hearts. it makes no sense to me at all why you can't have an id to vote. it is necessary in terms of identifying who is voting out there. we know that people are frauds and my id was just ripped off at a store. and so with this mug. and member put charges.

it is the easiest thing to kind of, i think we need to have national id and find out who the immigrants are anyway. and not to upon compassion's. >> i don't think we will resolve it and one other topic and we are running out of time as we always do. we'll watch a trailer and this is barack obama's campaign video with tom hankings. c ♪ -- hankings. - hanks. how do we understand this president and his time in office? do we look at the day'sed had lines or do we remember what we as a country have been throughh? president-elect is here in chicago and named the members of the economic team and they fly in for the first big you briefing on the economy and what was described in that meeting was an economic crisis

beyond anything than anybody had imagined. >> this is a campaign video . had a lot of attention and some controversy. let's start with you robert. give the president and his team a grade on how they did on the video? what are you giving them. triple a. i think it is a stunning video. and i think it is narrated with tom hanks who is a great actor with compassion and sense of feel it draws me in. and i might not agree with the policies of the administration, but i look and i get taken in and that's something that the left does better than us. and it is a beautiful piece of prop. . >> sally. >> i don't gree with the agiprop but give a triple a. this is what the president has to do say it is getting better. and what the video does well is put out facts . facts about the 22 straight

months was job growth and that will be what it takes. >> it is a halo. and i particularly liked it when he walked across the water and changed my cough tow champagne. it is a campaign video rather see that or mitt mitt romney attacking somebody? >> depends on your point of view. >> i agree that it is a campaign video and intended to be propaganda. he hasn't blamed anybody. don't buy that. and as a piece of art it is brilliant and frankly the republicans will do one. john boyd or robert doby to narrate that. all of the republicans that are bent out of shape. cool down and you will have one of your own once we get a nominee. i don't necessarily agree with the conclusion television, but it was a brilliant piece.

robert will be back in the show with his band and you will love this. a wonderful frank sinatra classic. that's later in the show. >> and new york times give a scrathing from a goldman saches about to quit. charlie has the details .

a resignation letter that shuning a wall street powerful firm. a former goldman sachs long-time employee greg smith. he called the firm morally bankrupt and said the people care only about profits and not their clients. goldman sachs is fighting back and denying the claimings. charlie will be here and good to have you to sort it out. >> this was a big deal in the financial. >> yeah, i remember when it

hit the wires i looked at this and said we have to cover it and figure out who greg smith is. why this ran and why the new york times ran it? i think there is a couple of lawyers here. you can find a disgruntled employee in every firm. now, does that stand for the entire firm and why did the new york times dignify this in and put it in a prominent in the oppages and this was a big deal. >> it was not just a letter to the editor. >> yes, between the colume and this was. >> prominent. this is a quote. get your clients, some of whom are sophisticate trade whatever will bring the biggest profit to goldman. call me old fashioned i don't like to sell the product. >> he did it 12. >> is he high up in the

company or middle. people who dismissed him and that made mow think he was higher up and had a bigger position than dismissing him as insignificant. >> he made a midlevel employee. he made $500,000 to divide 50-- 750,000 a year. for goldman sachs that is in the middle of the road and he was a vice-president. he never made managing director. he was stuck in a midst level position . i have written a lot of terrible things about what goldman would say and their culture. you have to put him in context and why did he do this? he had an axe to grind. there is no doubt about it. is the stuff true? >> that's the point and my question here.

we can argue why did the new york times give prominence and why did he choose the venue to resign? but is there subitance to what he was saying about goldman who treated their clines with disdane than how it would treat them than the clients. >> their clients treat goldman with disdain. they are the sophisticated player in the worl. wall street is a sharp-elbowed. >> they were squeezing fees out of the clients, yes. >> may not be criminal but was it ethical? >> as long as you don't lie to people. when you are dealing with smart people. he said they were lying because they were selling what they knew it was good for goldman but not the client. >> i take one bet.

that's the way markets work. we have to step back and say when everybody is equal . different when you are selling to average individual people. that does happen. when you are dealing with sophisticated people and you have information that i have. and you take a bet and i take a bet. charlie, where is this going? >> far for goldman depending on how many outside partners. stand up and say we need an investigation . reality most wall street know this is business. it is different goldman deals with sophisticated investors. if he said they ripped off grandma mili. >> what about the pension plans. >> they know what a good investment is. >> obviously it is not over. >> not over. >> charlie, thank you very much and always good to have you and get the facts from the

street. new details about staff sergeant robert bales accused in the shooting rampage that kill would 16 afghan citizens. judge janine pirro is next and a huckabee exclusive with john ramseyy.

staff sergeant bales faces a court martial and punishment that could include the death penalty. he is 38 years old and he and his wife have a house and two young children. when bales' identity was released his neighbors couldn't believe he could be

blamed. i feel he is a victim of a terrible, terrible war. and usuallyy when that is happens it is related to ptsb. >> they hired john henry brown and told reporters that sergeant bales had sustained two injuries in iraq . afghanistan was the fourth combat. and joinsing me is janine. >> he could be defended by the jag unit but he hired a private attorney. what does this mean in the context of his legal position. >> i think it is important that his family did hire a defense attorney. he is and can be represented in the military court by assigned counsel. this has worl wide symbolism and the administration will go full and it is important for

him to have the best defense he can get given the fact that i believe will be a death penalty case as i am sitting here. 16 civilians children. and burned. >> we haven't executed a soldier since 1961. it is a horrible crime and no way to describe the heinous nature of it. but on the other hand he had four combat tour. will that help him avoid a death penalty? >> the defense will bring up post traumatic disorder stress. but the issue is whether it rises to the level of insanit yesaid he suffered from a mental disease and defect he couldn't understand the nature and consequences of what he was doing and it is wrong. and you are right. in the last 25 years, the military has sought death in 50 cases. but right now, 15 that were sentenced to the death penalty, only five are on

death row because the commanding general has to give it and appellate courts can reverse. >> this is a long way from over. get to the heart of the controversy. is he going to have a more let's say harsh trial and punishment for the politicall reasons to somehow appease what is a red-hot in afghanistan. would he be under the same level of intense prosecution if this had happened in germany? >> there is no question. it is a circumstances surrounding the killings and the fact that we are in afghanistan and all eyes will be on the war, the longest war in america's history and the administration has to show that this is a guy who was evil or broken and the defense will say. this is about the war. this is about the war does to our young men and women. they suffer from post traum

attic tress disorder. he enlisted after 9/11. he was injured with a brain injury, traumatic brain injury and lost part of his foot in another injury at war . he had three combat tours and told him no fourth and night before they send him to afghanistan, i moon- mean, this guy is been throughh hell and this case is symbolic. because the afghans didn't want him taken out. they want quick and certain justice. americans brought him out to kuwait and they went crazy and they now have him in fort leaven worth. the question is. with what happened to him be enough for the jury of 12 to say he is insane. >> i know you are a judge and not prophet. tell me what you foresee. will he get the death penalty and do you think it will be

carried out? or will the defense successfully at least keep him from a death penalty? >> i think what happens will depend on the time. in our justice system and in the military justice system things can take years. focus will be taken out. and that is a less of a chance was death and get the not guilty by reason of insanity. and if the administration want to move it to show the world we will be tough on these guys who kill afghan civilians, it is not good for him. >> we'll follow the case and probablyy with you, judge. >> thank you, governor. coming up next. six year old daughter johnson - jonbenet was found murdered in his home. they were prime suspects for years. how did he cope. you will we know a place where tossing and turning have given way to sleeping.

>> the dath of six year old beauty queen jonbenet ramsey made headlines. if losing their daughter was not hard enough, yawn and patti ramsey had to fight claims that they had a hand in her murder. good day after christmas in 1996. the body of little jonbenet ramsey was found in the basement of the home in boulder, colorado. she was a six year old child beauty queen and competing in the pageants much like her mother former miss west virginia. patti ramsey reported that jonbenet was missing and patsy showed them a ransom note and police conduct a search and find no sign of jonbenet. seven hours later john ramsey found his daughter's body in a little room in the basement.

she was beat yen strangled and sexual assaulted. it was not long before police shifted from the intruder to the ramsey family itself. they were under an umbrella of suspicion and the case became a media circus . the family was tried in the court of public opinion. >> i did not kill jonbenet or anything to do. i loved that child. with my whole of heart and soul. >> the investigation dragged on fors months and little progress and no arrest john and patti moved to atlanta not far from where their daughter was buried. a grand jury decided there was not enough evidence to charge anyone with jonbenet's murder. tragedy struck the family when patsy ramsey died. and in 2008 after that

christmas. they were exxonerated in the case. new dna testing techniques proved that her parents were innocent and the boulder district attorney office sent a letter to john. >> the case was reopened in 2010 but no suspects maynamed. john ramsey told his story in the book called the other side of suffering. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> media experience exceeds that from politicians. you had telephone repair men and people trying to tap the phones at your home and a jewish reporter kneeling beside you in communion trying to get you to say something as you knelt to take commune. >> it is madness. absolute madness. >> john, i think most of us remember the story but hard for us to conceive the agony

you went lieu having lost a daughter that this was not your first daughter to have lost tragically. beth had been killed a few years earlier and now a second daughter's death and adding to that you are accused of the murder. >> yeah. yeah, obviously the real pain was the loss of the child . accusation and craziness around us was there, but we were near mortally wounded for the loss of our child, so in a sense, it distracted us in an ironic way and we had to deal with how do we get from the house to church? or house to brook's school without cameras and micophone. >> my son who was nine at the time. and there is a powerful moment in the book. pats yeburke are at the grocery store and there is a tabloid that said the brother did it talking about burke.

he's a kid. >> yeah, nine years old. that was hurtful and you try to keep it away from burke and shield him and try to give him as of a childhood we could give him but it was tough. >> rarely do i read a book where i find myself stop reading. and i think i knew what happened but i didn't know the depth of it. and t the humiliation that you and patsy endured at the hands of a local police department that would not accept no for an answer. they were determined. was going on? >> they pliced the bet early and made the decision and wouldn't deviate from it regardless of evidence or lack thereof. i don't know and i can't comprehend. it was understood that police look at care givers and parents. we understand that. but don't stop there, please

and of course, they did. and i don't know. >> one thing that i find amazing, how do you keep from being angry and bitter and getting revenge at the press and the police and all of the people that wronged you and i mean by anybody's objective standard, they did. >> i would be less than honest if i said i didn't feel that way for a while. i had to understand forgiveness. and went through three phases of forgiveness really is. forgiveness is a gift i give myself and a release of that anger and that desire for revenge. it doesn't matter that the person that you are forgiving may not know you are forgiving him and doesn't care if you are forgiving him it is a gift you give yourself. and so many things that i want to get with you. when we come back, more with john ramsey and this amazing

it. patsy came out of miss america and it wasital yent poise and intellect and she tried to steer john johnn toward. jonbenet was extroverted and she was ready to talk or sing. she was trying to give her's venue to explore herital yent it was not the main part her life. >> that is how it was portrayed. as if you were pageant partners. >> not at all. patsy hoped that she would lose a few so she would understand you do lose in life occasionally. >> you are active in the community. and people came to yourr home on christmas . this happened on christmas night. and so, do you feel that that may have opened you to a vulnerability. >> i think it did. i regret that. i think it is good to be annan

- anonymous as much as you can. we were not. it was a small community and we had a large business in that community and they would write arcticle we were growing and hiring people. i don't know. i think that targeted us. >> is anybody still working on this case activelyy? >> there are men and women who came in the case on their own. seasoned retired homicide detectives that works on it as the need presents itself. lou smith did that and he died a year ago. which was a loss of a friend and ally. lou used to say i will get this guy. >> a lot of the scientific methods is what eventually cleared and you patsy. you got an apology from the district attorney finally. >> a different district attorney that hunted you down . how gratifying and validating was that. >> it was gratifying it was a

step forward. you know, we had crossed a bridge that important in terps of solving the case in my mind. i didn't look at it necessarily a point of closure, but it was progress and that's how i viewwed it. >> how did you stay with some level of faith. this is the kind of experience. not just jonbenet's death but the media circus and accused by the police who are supposed to be the good guys and you did not give up on yourr faith? >> that's part of what i dealt with in the book to help with issues. beth was killed. i said there is no god. i hit bed rock and i start to grow from there and any time something tragic happens in one's life faith changes. people's say it can't be a loving god if this is what

happened to me. i understand what god promises and he doesn't promise us protection from difficulty but promises to get us through difficulty. i also kind of after the fact, i started to see where god put people in our life along this difficult path that helped. >> lou smith being one of them. it was clear to me indeed these are people in our life at the right moment that got us through . that in my mind was god. and my faith was strengthened and that is what i wanted to help people with the book. >> i would say john, that comes through more than anything. it is a compelling narrative. and the conclusion that i come away with. that despite all . challenges and pressures, you were able nofind god's peace
