5:01 pm
>> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applause]. >> mike: thank you, thank you very much. welcome to huckabee show from the fox news studios in new york city. well, this wednesday marks 44 years since dr. martin luther king, jr. was assassinated in memphis, tennessee i was just a few months shy of my 12th birthday, but i remember vividly the tragic and senseless murder of a man for a man who lived a nonviolent existence. this christian leader who based teachings on the lessons of the new testament and used it as an occasion to riot in the streets, loot businesses and riot buildings and doing the things that dr. king spoke out against and which he resisted such as violence and indiscriminate hatred. they dishonored his life and
5:02 pm
life's ministry. it brings out the best in some. and some exploited his death to fan the flames of racism. and others used it for looting and burning and mayhem. there were voices of reason of compassion who rose above the noise of the streets to speak the wisdom of heaven. governor winthrop rockefeller, the day after he was killed, stood on the steps of the arkansas state capital and sang we shall overcome as a tribute to dr. king. it was remarkable act of courage for governor rockefeller, especially in some southern capitals, governors all, but celebrated dr. king's death. because of division of leadership of dr. king and bold dreams and willingness of courageous leaders like governor rockefeller to take a stand for righteousness,
5:03 pm
things are much different today. no longer separate water fountains, theater entrances and restaurants for people of color. no longer could people who are black sit in separate waiting rooms in a doctor's office or train station, no longer does a person of color receive a different wage than a white person for doing the same job and no longer is a black child forced to go to a separate and inferior school than a white child. that doesn't mean our country has embraced the teachings of dr. king, the heart breaking killing of an unarmed 17-year-old in florida, and some are raising money or to raise their profile pretending to be outraged for the cameras and seems the real goal is not raising a voice for justice, but raising their own profile for personal profit. and since we don't know yet what really happened that night in florida. maybe fewer speeches and more
5:04 pm
tears would be in order. maybe less taking it to the streets and more taking it to the churches. maybe fewer demand for revenge and more for reflection of the unnecessary death of a kid would be in order. and instead of al sharpton and spike lee rising their fist in wage. more a rockefeller, raising his arms with his black brothers saying it's not a black-white thing, it's a right-wrong thing. that's my view and i welcome yours. at mike huckabee.com and go to my website and click on the fox news feedback session and sign up for my facebook page which i hope you'll do and follow me on twitter and a link there to information on my book, which is called "a simple government" we need more of a simple government it's in paper back now, a new york times best sell her and it's in hard back last year and paper back now.
5:05 pm
right now, democrats outnumber republicans in the senate by 51-47. and two senators are independents who caucus with the democrats. but recent rasmussen polls show that eight senate races where the republican challenger might win the seat currently held by democrats. will the g.o.p. take the seat this time? let's ask the fox news contributor dick morris. [applause] hello, dick. it's great to have you here. [applause]. dick, you wrote an article this week, implying that the senate democrats are in trouble because of president obama. usually, a sitting president would help the senators of his party. why do you think he's hurting senate democrats? >> well, when obama goes around running against congress, he's imitating harry truman who in 1948 ran against the do nothing congress, but seems to have forgotten the
5:06 pm
congress is half his, the senate. and as a result of a lot of these democratic senate incoupi incumbents are running poorly. incredibly you have nelson, the senator from florida who is at 36% of the vote. connie mack his likely republican opponent is 43. missouri with sarah steelman, the likely republican nominee is ten points ahead of clare mccaskill, 51-41 and the most amazing one is in ohio, where sherrod brown, incumbent democratic senator is trailing josh mandell, the treasurer 44-40. usually the undecided goes against incumbent, 20 point defeat in ohio of brown of the democratic senator, but right now, you have the following states which have democratic senators and republicans are leading. virginia, where allen is ahead, florida, nebraska, where john bruining is at.
5:07 pm
missouri. montana, where denny ray burg is ahead and wisconsin tommy thompson is ahead and ohio. and even in some other states like michigan, they're within five points, north dakota as a likely pickup. >> when we're talking about a shift. how many seats do you think will shift over, some will obviously keep their seats and we've had an unusual level of retirements, and tell us what you see the makeup of the senate being after november. >> a lot can happen between now and then, but if you look at the current polling and project it. you're looking at a republican gain of ten seats, and a probable loss of two. and we might lose scott brown in massachusetts, and we might-- and the olympia snowe seat to angus king allegedly an independent, but really a democrat. but i think what may be a net republican pickup of eight seats which would give the
5:08 pm
republicans 55 seats in the senate. and basically, practically, even though it's not officially 60. with a sure passage of most of what will be president romney's agenda. >> so, speaking of the audience-- (applause) >> certainly agrees with that. but do you think that no matter whether it's romney, santorum, grinch and romney is on track, you're going to say it's romney, you think that romney beats obama in the fall and why? >> yeah, well, first of all, there's the polling. the most accurate poll is by rasmussen, and 'cause he actually polls people that are likely to vote the other polls just do registered voters and that's not a good measurement. and among those likely to vote, in his last poll, obama is ahead by 46-45. now, when an incumbent is at 46% of the vote, that means he's probably going to lose, because the undecided goes with the challenger. i did a study, mike, i went back to 1964, and i measured
5:09 pm
the last gallup poll before the election, and said, where do the undecided vote go, where there was an incumbent president and 80% of the time it went to the challenger, there is's another way to understand it, but some people in your audience might appreciate, if i ask my wife, are you going be to be married to the same guy next year, she says, honey, i'm undecided. (laughter) >> by the way she called and she is undecided. i know her very well, dick. >> and that's the signal for you. >> very he good analogy. this has been a tough wook for president obama in many ways and what is it, specifically, referencing his open mic gaffe with the soviet president, but what is it that he is doing that makes not just him vulnerable, but makes the other people down ballot from him so vulnerable? >> well, first, let me address the open mic thing. what he's telling putin in
5:10 pm
that conversation is that the united states will reassert what bill clinton did, which was to agree not to improve our anti-missile missile. keep them at the same level, not make them better. bush scrapped that, and to mange them better and now putin is desperate to reinstate the commitment not to improve them. he wants it to be credible and he's literally going to the president of the united states and saying, please make your country vulnerable to our nuclear-- >> make us weaker make yourselves weaker. >> yeah. >> mike: the crazy thing is that obama essentially is conceding the point. >>'s going to do it and you know darn well that the russians are going to give that technology to iran and north korea and right now, we have a real capacity to protect this country against missiles. the last 24 times there's been an enemy missile and we sent up an interceptor, we killed all 24 of the missiles, 20 of
5:11 pm
them we kissed the missile, a funny phrase, but our anti-missile touched the missile and putin is scared to death of that and wants the u.s. to freeze its technology, give it to the russians so they can evade. >> mike: i don't care if they are afraid of us, i want them to be. that's the way it's supposed to workment and we shouldn't be conceding anything to them. always amazing insight, dick. thanks for coming along. [applause] >> dick morris. well, of course, candidates on the campaign trail and the candidates sometimes speak when they're under pressure and the president and republican opponents had their share this year. so how do gaffes affect the election? we'll talk about it next.

>> mike: here is (applause) >> now, here is a cold hard fact about politics, all you need is one gaffe and a rolling camera and can ruin a
5:15 pm
politician's reputation, doesn't matter whether it's fair or not. remember mike dukakis? remember this? of course you do. and then, how about these guys? . audrey saylor (inaudibl (inaudible) >> there you go, all right. >> we have a question right here, how has the national debt personally affected each of their lives. >> i voted for them. and before i voted against it. they're going to south dakota and oregon and washington and michigan, and then we are going to washington d.c. to take back the house, ahhh! >> the third agency of government i would do away with the education, away with-- commerce and let's see-- i can't, the third one, i can't, sorry... oops. >> mike: oh, boy, i'm so glad
5:16 pm
i never had a gaffe on the campaign trail and that fox would not dare show one on my own show. how does the campaign deal with damage control after there is a mess from the mouth? let's ask ann marie, the former communication doctor. and fox news contributor, howard dean's 2004 campaign manager. >> all right, joe, you know, we had to throw that howard in there. truthfully. we've had them where we say something because we're tired and have the moments and sometimes the person gets elected and have a major gaff and this one i want to have you take a look at it and have you respond. (inaudible) k at it and then we'll respond. >> joe, let me start with you. >> all right. joe, let me start with you,
5:17 pm
this is a pretty major moment the president, i think is really damaged by this gaffe, it's not just a campaign goof on the trail. this is a policy issue, and let he's essentially saying i'm going to keep something from the american people and by the way, i am he' absolutely going to get reelected. a problem for him in november. >> it's going to be a problem because romney or whoever the republican nominee is going to be, we're going to see this tape over and over again. and i think the reality is, he's telling the truth. what, why would anybody want to try to do any kind of treaty or anything like that right now when it's going to be turned into a political football, as this, this gaffe or statement it. >> mike: he's not an amateur, he knows you never say that with a room full of microphone, but the directional mics that point. why take the risk. say this behind the curtain in a secure room where it's been electronically sweep. >> we're increasingly at the
5:18 pm
stage no way to go through two years of a presidential campaign or four years as the president of the united states anymore, without stepping it. that's the fact of life and i mean, i don't mean seeing every candidate on the probably side do something, say something, we all go, what was he thinking. the same thing with the president. that's going to happen from now on the regardless who the president is, we saw it, you know, president bush would occasionally gaffe as president of the united states. >> oh, it hans. >> and used to it. >> and ann marie how will the republicans exploit this. >> and as joe just said it you'll see this show up in campaign commercials against president obama and it isn't his first open mic gaffe one with sarkozy with netanyahu and and it's different from a campaign, this has real world implications on the international stage and it's policy and he's actually in office, he's not at a coffee shop meeting with voters on the campaign trail.
5:19 pm
>> mike: there was another one this week that got a lot of attention, this is romney advisor eric, let's take a look the etch-a-sketch moment. >> i think you hit a reset button for the campaign, everything changes. like an etch-a-sketch, you kind of shake it up and we start all over again. >> mike: let's talk about this, joe, do you think we're gog see it again? >> shabsolutely. the problem when you're running for president everybody wants to take down. right now everybody and the republicans a lot of people in the republican party want to take romney down. santorum and want to take him down and the opposition party. democrats want to take you down. the key is you don't want to give them ammunition to use against you. and this one is a real problem for romney because, it goes to a lot of the doubts and concerns that the people have about it. about him switching positions and actually the two gaffes sort of mimic each other and they talk about flexible and romney talking about
5:20 pm
etch-a-sketch and what does he stand for? so, i think you're going to see this and it may be exactly what the obama people and democrats like me use to come back and romney when he uses the tape and saw the president. >> both of you have been in that room in a presidential campaign when the gaffe has been made and only three or four people in the campaign. you, a candidate, a spouse and maybe one other person. take us inside the room and the discussion that's held. ann marie, when is the discussion, let's go answer it and let's leave it alone and let's don't extend this back. >> you know, i think it's important to be calm and react and have a cool head and be able to think through what the implications are. and sometimes the response will be a miss. you hope it's going to be a hit, but you have a team coalesces and you come up with the response and get this out as you know, a lot of times you don't know how it's received, but you have to go with your instincts and lead with what you believe is right. >> you worked for tim pawlenty, a moment in the
5:21 pm
debates he would not sort of own up to a comment he had made before on fox news sunday. about obama-ney care. and was that a discussion inside the pawlenty campaign? >> among senior staff a discussion how to handle that. at the end of the day, look, this happened in june of 2011 six months before they went to the polls and we were happier then that it happened in june of 2011 than june of 2012, but you know, i think that you want to do what's best for your candidate and remain loyal to him or her. and to put your best step forward and get over it as quickly as possible and move onto the next thing and change the story. >> well, it's always something that's going to happen. i want to thank both of you, you have a perspective that very few people have had. and maybe we can bring you back, i think it's a fascinating thing and having been in that room and having been the guy who made the gaffe, i know it's painful
5:22 pm
when someone on the staff said you really, really goofld it up then and have figure how to deal with it. >> grateful to you both. [applause] >> well, right now, the hottest movie is about kids killing kids. does hollywood have any respect for its audience anymore? let's talk about it and we will when we come back. [applause]. heartbeat, and that it put me at 5-times greater risk of a stroke. i was worried. i worried about my wife, and my family. bill has the mos common type of atrial fiillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. he was taking warfarin, but i've put him on pradaxa instead. in a clinical trial, pradaxa 150 mgs reduced stroke risk 35% more than warfarin without the need for regular blood tests. i sure was glad to hear that. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.
5:23 pm
pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or bloodthinners, or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke ri. other side effects include indigestio stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk of stroke with pradaxa. the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. i'm giving you the silent treatment. so you're calling to tell me you're giving me the silent treatment? ummm, yeah.

5:27 pm
disconnect, governor huckabee. almost as if hollywood has declared war on traditional values which most of the country believes in and movies like "the hunger games" even though it's fictionalized based on a novel, it's very real to see how something that's understandable, to see how something like the hunger games could in fact happen one day based on what we're seeing on reality tv shows right now in this country. >> mike: there's he a lot of vulgarity and coarseness not because it's depicting reality, but distorting it and making people think it's not only normal, but acceptable. >> i see that every day when you watch tv. one of the biggest complaints they can't sit down and watch prime time tv anymore as a family. there's so much trash and garbage on the television these days. and what's really disturbing, governor, is that there's a blatant atact.
5:28 pm
it's not entertainment it's indoctrination, and you see kids exposed life styles and situations we're expected to believe are normal when in fact they aren't. there's a television show that abc has called gcb. let's show a clip and talk about it. >> i feel certain that the good lord would like me to have a fur coat. god often speaks it me through christian dior. >> i got body work done and messed it up. >> between 3 and 16. >> i don't think-- >> we have a moral code here. >> do it on the desk? >> you know, when christians are depicted on television like in this show they're depicted as unauthentic, insincere, and materialistic, selfish, narcissists. i live in what i would call middle america, i am a believer. those are not the people i
5:29 pm
know. and i know a lot of people who are christian in this country. and i'm highly offend that had every time a christian is presented on television. that's what we get and that's not the mainstream of christian people. >> governor, my aunt lin lives in north mississippi one of the big bibles, the hard back where you write your genealogy, she's ready to go to hollywood with these folks because you're absolutely right. i think that people of the christian faith should be be outraged how hollywood is treating them and depictions not just on that show gcb, but many other shows and think about this for a second. what would happen if abc had put out a show called good muslim, or good jewish? there would be an outrage like you could not imagine. >> mike: there really would. and gcb stands for good christian, the b-word, speaking of women. it's a degrading word and degrading depiction and it's
5:30 pm
disgusting. >> you know, the issue is, governor, i think i figured it out. i write about it in the book. i think the issue is they've got too many vegetarians living in hollywood. a you're not right with the lord and when you don't eat meat you don't think right. >> take them to get some barbecue and may fix it, what do you think. >> a good smoked pork butt would do hollywood well, absolutely.

know it, fox. ♪ . >> mike: if you think your vote doesn't matter, you need to think again. because history shows that some of the world's most horrific events occurred because the public was disengaged. either they weren't aware of what was happening in their country or just didn't care. andy andrews makes his case against apathy in a brand new book, a startling book called how do you kill 11 million people. and andy andrews joins me now. it's a remarkable book, you can read it in 15 minutes. it's not partisan, and you don't take positions in the elections, but one thing you point out. twice in the past six presidential nominations, the age exceed the cast by 100 million. 100 million people could have voted and sat it doubt. >> and the swing is 10 million
5:36 pm
in the past 25 years, not more than 10 million votes, they've been that close. >> mike: here is what i found startling and i'm a believer and i'll always see what the christian voting trends are, people who self-identify as believers. 65 million of those 100 million, call themselves christian believers and did the not vote. the margin was 10 million if. 65 million voted the election would have been turned. >> right. and you certainly can look forward and say that we have our finger on the pulse of what's happening today. if we will grab hold. >> why don't people vote? >> i think there's two reasons they don't vote. the first reason, they think that their vote doesn't matter. but if you look at the statistics and back to germany and what happened and understand that was a population of 80 million people, and the nazi party never had more than 8.5 million members, literally 10%
5:37 pm
of that country dragged those people into that nightmare, so, if 10% could do that. certainly 10% of us could get together and pull our country to a place our founding fathers intended. i think a big reason the christians don't vote they look at choices sometimes and think i don't like any of them. i don't identify with any of them. but, what we have to understand, i believe, right now, is that if you look at us like a ship and we're headed for an iceberg. maybe you don't have the captain right now that's going to turn this thing around, but maybe that person happens in four years or eight years, right now, if we don't change the direction, we're going to hit the iceberg, what we need to do is find somebody who lines up with the way we believe on the major things, abortion or economics and vote. >> don't commissions think you have to have something that is perfect and agrees on every point. there's no one that's going to satisfy 100 things they want.
5:38 pm
>> commission people, we should know there was only one person who was perfect. >> mike: he's not on the ballot he won't run. it's not necessarily about the election, it's about the direction. because we have to get the direction going in a different way. otherwise, we're in big trouble. >> let's talk about the book's title to me was startling when i first saw it, how do you kill 11 million people, that gets my attention. >> touchy feely. >> and referencing the holocaust. how do you kill 11 million people? >> you know, the title refers to a problem or something that bothered me about the holocaust beyond the obvious, because i would watch documentaries or read books and i would see the thousands of people loading themselves on to rail cars and relatively few nazi guards. why don't they rush them or fight or run and the answer i found was stunning, because it
5:39 pm
is a method used. how do you kill 11 million people, lie to them. they were loading themselves on the trains they were told they were being moved out of the the russian front and moved to factory jobs and schools for children and they thought they were okay and specifically lied to. >> nobody is marching us right now to gas chambers beau it's happened with well educated people in a very sophisticated society. this was not some third world country, the most advance kund in the world at that time and people willingly marched to their own death. how do we know. >> it frightens me to talk to people about that time and say about hitler, when he took over and the dictator, people don't forget he didn't take over, he was elected and germany was a democracy and this is an educated population, but we have to pay attention. you know, the apathy is appalling and i think now, of
5:40 pm
course, with the internet, with shows like this, i mean, frankly, i'm a dad, i'm a husband and i haven't got 24 hours a day to pay total attention to this and i use you and several others as my view from 30,000 feet. >> mike: that's a very wise choice, by the way to watch the show to get your-- one final question, how do we know the difference betweened good and bad guys. some criteria to make a judgment how to vote? >> i think that telling the truth could be a great starting point, you know, and i really believe the question we need to ask ourselves is not necessarily-- >> the question we need to ask ourselves, what are your standards for being led. the danger that america faces, the biggest danger we face is a populace able to set aside and allow a liar to lead them. how do you kill 11 million people.
