unforgettable tragedy recounted in real time. and that's the fox report for today. huckabee starts now. >> tonight on huckabee. >> the goal that i set to defeat al-qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild is now within our reach. >> one year after navy took out osama bin laden, he's spiking the ball. should he be flagged for excessive celebrations. >> we're not dumb. >> could the seniors, pat boone, who they'll vote for. >> ♪. >> speaking of pipe icons, neil sedaka made singing a family business. >> and breaking down the g.o.p. choices for vice-president. ladies and gentlemen, governor

mike huckabee. >> (applause). >> . >> thank you. great audience, thank you very much for joining us tonight. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. well, my 10th book is going to come out this fall just after the elections and it's going to be an ought biography and reveal things i've never discussed, i'm going to talk about my days in combat in vietnam, something i've just never done before and disclose for the first time how i was asked to have a lead role in a hollywood movie playing op site diane lane and jack nicholson, i turned it down because i thought the content was frankly something i was not comfortable with and i'm going to be detailing some of the details of my direct links to john adams i recently discovered in an exhaustive genealogical search. for the most important admission of all, everything i just told you is untrue.

well, except that i really do plan to have a book that comes out in november. all of that other stuff fabrication. i was too young for vietnam and my acting was limited to is stuff in high school and college. as for ancestry, my own dad advised me don't look too far up to family tree. son, there's stuff up there you ought not to see. but the reason i said that because i'm practicing being a democrat. just because i want to see if the press would treat me differently. this week we found that massachusetts senate candidate elizabeth warren applied for her harvard job as a minority claims her great-great-great-great- grandmother had some cherokee blood and 1/32 cherokee. and she thought she was a minority when she mysteriously stopped claiming it and she had the job and first native american tenured faculty at

r-harvard. you remember richard blumenthal found out he nor the army could find record of it. >> you the whopper from president obama's autobiography. gave great detail to his white girlfriend in new york and how they influenced him. this week, president obama admitted to the biographer, that she doesn't exist. there really wasn't one person. she was a composite of several girls that he had dated and he had just conjured her up and made up the details. i know for darn sure i couldn't get away with that. so i've been thinking about many abouting a democrat. it seems easier than to disclose the great things that i can just imagine.

in fact, a jung entrepreneur this week is offered $10,000, for anybody who could produce barack obama's college records, we've never seen them. we don't know what courses he took, how he paid for education. wouldn't you know when the mainstream press heard about this offer, they launched their own investigation. oh, not it find out about the president's academic records, heck no. but to investigate the young man who offered a prize for someone who could find out some pretty basic information about the president of the united states. so, next time some goon from media matters or the new york times thinks they have found some factual error in something i say. i'm just going to say i'm just being a democrat today. and the facts don't matter. [applaus [applause] >> well, earlier this week president obama,ed ma the one year anniversary of the killing of osama bin laden with an unannounced visit to

our troops in afghanistan. >> over the last three years, the tide has turned. we a broken the taliban's momentum. devastated al-qaeda's leadership taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders and one year ago. from a base here in afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed osama bin laden. and the goal that i set to defeat al-qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild, is now within our reach. >> well, do you think the president may be taking a little more credit than he deserves? sure, he did make the call to take bin laden out. let's take a look back at what really happened. >> after monitoring, secret hideouts for months. four chinook carried navy seal uppeded cover of darkness. the seals rappelled into the compound and scaled the walls

and broke into the house, after 20 minute gun fight they went upstairs and reached his bedroom where bin laden was killed with a bullet to the head, shot by a navy seal. do you think the president might ought to give the seals a little more credit. let's go four star general jack keane and 20 years green beret veteran master sergeant. general king, let me begin with you, i want to take a look at a controversial ad that president obama put forth and get some reaction to you. let's take a snippet from you, first. >> he took the harder and more honorable path than the one that's produced in my opinion, the best result.

>> . >> general, you spent years honorably and want to ask your reaction to this ad. >> it's frustrating to have a reaction like that from a former president after we took bin laden down and the tribute disproportionately, the operation to a decision maker. this is a ten year journey to killing osama bin laden. and started with certainly president bush taking the sanctuary away that the taliban had and putting in place the policies, the intelligence apparatus and the operational capability to pursue the al-qaeda and to do that very aggressively after we took that sanctuary down and that took place for most of his presidency and then in fairness to the president obama, he took over and very aggressively continued to pursue the al-qaeda relent ly

and persistently. and we had some on the center that were on target for ten years, people who truly understood al-qaeda and that's how we were able to discover them. deserved a lion's share of the credit and the operators who had the skill sets and the courage to deal with it. and that's where the lion's share and credit could go. and obviously they deserve credit for making a decision that i think most should have made under most of the circumstances. >> and you're active now in the green beret in the united states army, but i want to find out from your fellow soldiers, from the people you talk to on a daily basis, did they have that this is now a political issue rather than an issue of, about the soldiers and-- >> yeah, a little bit. and here is the thing, too, when we're talking about this event, you need to know a

little how we think. if you're a football player, and a guy, and a fighter. if you carry the gun, and to the united states willing to take up a life and give up your own, we have a warrior culture and someone that's codified in writing and most is unspokenen and the main is it's not about you. when we see the campaign ads, this campaign ads specifically sort of, i think president obama and that general king is right. gave credit to the ceo and to the seals, but for us, we never put ourselves in the center of any operation, whether we planned it or not did it. and it's got the feeling of that where it's about i did this, aen we did that and under my command and also, i don't think there's any president who wouldn't have made that call and it's gutsy, and the guys doing the risky is the guy with the guns. >> so, we have a quote from chris kyle, a former navy seal confirmed with credited killings, he called, he's trying to say that romney

wouldn't have made the same call and anyone patriotic to his country, obama is taking more credit than he is due. and general, some have used the term stolen valor, too strong to apply in this case? >> well, i don't think we should be politicizing an event leak like this. this took place as part of a war and it shouldn't be political capital and that's just outrageous, that we have a former president and now a current one, that's exploiting it. and it's just dead wrong. >> well, i want us to keep both of you here, several questions that we want to bring up in our second segment and one of the questions is, could we have taken osama bin laden out before the steals ambushed his compound a year ago? some surprising answers to that, when we come back. i'd like to hear from you, go to the website or sign up for

the facebook page and find a link to that and more at mike huckabee.com. [ horse neighs ] hold up partner. prilos isn't for fast relief. try alka-seltzer. it kills heartburn fast. yeehaw! when i found out mytburn fast. put me at 5 times greater risk of a stroke, my first thoughts were about my wife, and my family. i have the most common type of atrial fibrillation,r afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem.

i was taking warfarin, but my doctor put me on pradaxa instead to reduce my risk of stroke. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me. 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. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take tell your doctor about all dicines 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 risk.ures, other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa.

[applau (applause) >> and when we're talking about the whole issue of the anniversary of osama bin laden, which we are glad and i've been very clear, a year ago, and i continue to say, i have great respect and appreciation of the decision that the president made. it was the right decision and, yes, give him credit, it was a gutsy decision, because if it had gone wrong, people would have criticized him and said he made the wrong decision, so, you can't take that away from him. jack, you have said something, however, that i want you to clarify and perhaps this may be a very illuminating moment for a lot of us. but i heard it said that there were opportunities prior to may a year ago, in which osama bin laden could have been taken, that we had to--

the capacity, but we didn't give the order. would you speak to that and was there a student prior to a year ago, when barack obama could have called for the takeout of osama bin laden. >> yeah, we actually had the target the summer before execution, in other words, we had the target in the summer of 2010 and took until the following may to execute the mission. i was surprised it was taking that long to execute it. the longer you spend on something like that, the greater likelihood is that the target will be compromised because of your surveillance and then that target will flee. that's the concern we always have when we have a target like that. so, i was sort of surprised that we, it took until may before we actually executed when we have. i know for a fanth we had it that summer and may have been cooner than that. >> why didn't we execute a summer before, the summer of

2010? what was the holdup? >> well, my sources told me, you know, the white house was trying to verify that the target was there as opposed to just relying on circumstancesal evidence, they nt with aed a photo, to see that he was really there and without that, there was a lot of delay and procrastination about it because they wanted verification. >> was there frustration in the military and in the intelligence community because these guys literally put their lives on the line not just to carry out the mission, but to get close enough to say the target is here. what was the reaction when they weren't given a go order in the summer of 2010? >> well, governor, you've got to understand the amount of people aware of this is few to begin with, it's not the military at large that has knowledge of this. the only people that knew about this were people that had a reason to know about it and the only reason i knew is somebody had knowledge and

trusted in me and had confidence in me and i never spoke a word until after the fact. certainly, the people close to it, they wanted to get after it because they realized that the target could be compromised and took so long to actually find it and you sort of had the sense, this was it, this was real, let's go get it. >> terry, i want us to take a look at a piece of video, presented, i saw it a you foo days ago and it shows both commanders in chief, president bush and president obama coming into the theater of war, our military were nationed and putting their lives on the line and ask you to speak to it. this was a compilelation, one president bush, and one president obama, with our soldiers before going into the theater of war. >> a great honor to introduce to you the commander-in-chief, our commander-in-chief, the president of the united

states. (cheers). (cheers). >> . >> the president of the united states. ♪ >> well, i don't know how much to be thankful for. >> like rodney dangerfield come out, tough crowd. the thing with president bush, you know, we really loved president bush, we will always love him and the reason is, it was very obvious, that he loved us. and that he wore his heart op his sleeve, did a lot of things behind the scenes, going to walter reed, didn't hear about it, it wasn't a photo op.

president obama, who we serve with pride and to the death, hard read. before the presidency his voting record. i think he has a greater appreciation of what we do. when he comes into a place like that, a more closer look at him. >> i was not trying not to be unfair, other than the people who are paid to clap, the secretary of defense and, you know, the highest-- >> looked like they were looking around, going, wow. >> yeah, even the crowd behind him unless they had been told don't do a thing, that was about the quietest crowd, i know as a speaker if i'd gone into a room like that, i would have said thank you very much, and exited. >> thank you very much, good night. tip your waitresses. no, i think, also, thats with an around the time there was questions about the surge and what we were going to do and delaying. i think again, maybe president obama's focus, where he was actually standing wasn't clear. s like you said, i absolutely agree, he's the president and

he made that call, great call. but for the green beret or seals, it's always the right call to go after the bad guys. we lean forward and had something gone wrong, god forbid, a lot of guys on the compound and lost men we're probably the only group that wouldn't have hammered president obama, we know the risk and we're different than the rest of the media and government that's going to make fun of him and try to take him down. we know it and that's our job. >> let me say of all the people i appreciate, no one i appreciate more than the men and women of our military who every day keep me free. thanks, we cannot do enough and never be able to express a level of appreciation to which they deserve. thank you, general keane and sergeant today. and the list who would be

he's going to look in a calculated fashion, make a choice on what is best as opposed to what his gut is telling him. and you can see the way he's going through the process. site inspections, gone to florida to be with marco rubio and bob mcdonald and kelly up in new hampshire and portman in ohio going through an a deliberate fashion and i think we'll see throughout. >> you've said a lot depends where he is at the moment he has to make the decision and that there are, i think you've listed three categories that he might be in that would determine who he picks. what do you mean by the categories and what are the categories? >> well, it all depends on whether you're leading, tied, or trailing. if you're leading, your whole goal is to not upset the narrative. you want to pick somebody who is not interesting. you want to pick somebody who's not going to change the dynamic of the race and we saw

george w. bush do that with dick cheney and people said who? that's what george w. bush wanted and he was ahead in the polls ap wanted to do that. now if you're tied and trying to gain a small tactical edge. you're willing to take a little bit of a risk, but what you're thinking about is the electoral math and the third category if you're trailing. what you want to do is hit reset button and change the narrative. certainly we saw that with john mccain in 2008. the choice of sarah palin, changed the discussion and for a while worked for him. >> the three categories, if you're ahead, tied, behind. we had a screen up. let's take a look. if you are ahead, who are the kind of people that you look for? you had mentioned, i think, well, maybe portman, but i think you also mentioned people like mitch daniels, tim pawlenty up on the screen if you're ahead. this isn't a compliment to these guys the way that you've put it. >> well, actually, if you

think about it, it's a tremendous compliment because what these people are, are tested, vetted. they're known to party insiders and known as people who are going to be able to execute the job well. and these are noncontroversial people. so, that is, that's a high compliment for somebody like rob portman, a great example. because what he is, is somebody experience inside and serving on office of management and budget under president bush. and he knows how washington works. and romney has never been here. >> and the guys are competent. have great resume's, great backgrounds, but suppose then after the pick he starts getting behind? then has he made a mistake? >> well, certainly, we'd say he did. but the truth is, you want to pick somebody who is noncontroversial, and that's why, you know, daniels might

have a little trouble with what he's previously said about a news for a truce on social issues and might rankle some of the republican base and there's that possibility, but you have to like portman, he has pretty good conservative credentials and may not be that exciting, but wouldn't tick everybody off. >> we'll pick another category, if you're tied you say this is where you want someone to bring a zing into it. and help out. who do you have on the list? >> you've got to like marco rubio not just because he's hispanic and would be the first hispanic on the national ticket for a major party, but the fact that he comes from florida, a swing state. that's where you're looking for mcdonald in virginia, which is going to be all important for him. maybe pat toomey up in pennsylvania or kelly iott in new hampshire where he'd like to win. and grind out a narrow advantage.

and if he's behind and needs to jazz it up. >> i feel like a doctor consultation in front of the patient, a guy who used to be governor, mike huckabee. >> right, how did i end up on your list? [applause] >> the only one in america that are clapping are the ones in nt fro of you. >> you know this, governor and i said to talk about it in front of you. if governor romney is behind because he's having trouble connecting with blue collar voters and social conservatives and the behind of folks who backed you in 2008, who got behind rick santorum, the reagan democrats, if he needs to hit the reset button, may take the chance of bringing a well-known individual on the picture. anytime you bring a known commodity on your tickets,

you' you're bringing the chance to reset. aen in your case gain. >> rick santorum and others, the good thing about me, there is no bad. chris. thanks very much. a pleasure. by the way, i i did not know he was going to do that, i did not. i promise. all right. will seniors, those folks like me, be the swing vote in the 2012 presidential election while the obama and romney campaigns may focus which groups to go after, pat boone and doug schoen say they ought to be concentrating on senior citizens. we'll explain when we come back.

up-- (laughter) >> we have a full screen that shows, just remarkable and that shows to 16% of seniors were voting in 2004 and 2008 and in nonpresidential year that bummed up to 21%. you're a national spokesman of a group called 60 plus, and i guess an alternative to aarp. >> a conservative alternative. what are you sensing among senior results, somewhat of a historic vote relybly for democrats? >> with unthing, i think most polls, doug will attest to this, show that seniors by a big, big margin don't like obama care, they're not for it. and 60 plus was our 7.2 million supporters in 60 plus are determined that they're not going to be saddled with that obama care, they're worried about things like what we've called the death panel and whether you, whether that is a proper characterization

or not. they're appointed by the president, not doctors, but should have medical knowledge, but not doctor. and decide what the government wants to pay for and don't and who gets what. you may not call it a death panel, but seniors are trificily worried. and seniors that haven't registered and voted. and doug, we're planning on making your prove if i some true. >> thank you, pat. >> let me jump in here, tkts democrats are using scare tactics, a paul ryan look alike pushing a lady in a wheelchair. is that an effective strategy for the democrats? >> it is, because pat's exactly right. the obama care legislation,

which is now before the supreme court and the individual mandate are very unpopular with seniors, and why the democrats lost the mid term election and what the democrats are doing is using fear of the ryan plan, which in my judgment does go too far, to try to get seniors to vote democratic. now, the problem with the campaign, and i think why, what pat is doing with the 60 plus organizations so important. we've got to move past scare politics, how do we preserve programs, protect seniors, protect medicare, social security in a way that's rational and fair not that scares people. >> pat, if obama care gets taken away by the supreme court, i frankly think that will probably happen. >> i do, too. >> is that taken 0 of the table or-- >> no, because this president

is the one who forced it down our throats and you know, i think this administration thinks of seniors as some little old ladies and a few little old men who don't know what's going on and can be herded along like sheep not taking into account we've been there, done that, seen it and i'd say we because i came out of the closet a few years ago and acknowledged i am a senior. [laughter]. [applause] >> and so, everybody wishing they were doing as well as you are in the senior years. >> internshiping that god i am, and my wife, too, but we're not dumb. we can ad, we can subtract. with the death tax, the estate tax. it's really a tax on death and we don't think that death should be a taxable event of the this administration does. they want to raise and elevate because the death tax because that way though you've saved money, you've built a business, you have a farm or whatever it may be, when one

of you has the bad judgment to die the government steppings in and says, thank you, i'll take half of all of that. thank you. bing crosby it happened to him when his wife dixie died, he had to sell a lot of assets to pay the tax on her death. now, there's something incredibly terribly wrong, we've worked hard and saved money and built a business at least something to leave our kids. the government has no right to step in and take half because you're not there to defend it. we're going to have to elect, presidents and senators and congressmen who understand this and look out for seniors, that's why 60 plus is doing so well. >> doug, less than a minute. so i'm going to tell have you hell me if there's a big turnout of seniors, good or bad thing for democrats? >> given the trends, probably a bad thing. what i'm hoping for the election is a serious concern and discussion of the issues

surrounding obama care, health care reform. and the seniors that pat represents in 60 plus and indeed all seniors have a fair vote and a fair discretion. that's what we need. >> thank you both for being here, pat boone, doug schoen. >> thank you. >> and marking 50 years in music, a brand new cd out. pat boone sings a tribute to the ink spots. i remember them and i bet you, do, too. thank you and up next, singer song writer neil sedaka is hear making music for the whole family to enjoy. that's next. that fit almost anywhere so you can take them everywhere. dentyne split to fit. practice safe breath.
