tonight the florida representative explains his controversial comments. plus. hank williams junior and all of his rowdy friends are jamming with the governor tonight. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. thank you very much. by the way we have a great audience tonight. two-thirds of this bunch are all from arkansas and we are

having fun. they can call the hogs and do all sorts of stuff. welcome to all of you folks from little rock here today. [applause] >> it was a special week in our family. our little grandson chandler celebrated his first birthday and had his first taste of the cake and i think he enjoyed wearing it as much as eating it. and then our little grand daughter celebrates her month. the joy of watching them is enough to make me forget about the nonsense of washington. well, almost. and look. after the house of representative voted to hold attorney general holder in concontempt of congress for failing to give documents for the gun running operation that resulted in the murder of a officer. holder and some members of congress insinculated it was

based on holder to be the first african-american to serve as attorney general. it was not a partisan vote. 17 demjoined in the vote in the contempt charge. say was race ask not about the facts that your tax dollars bought hands tha ended nupt hands of mexican drug cartel and used to murder 300 mexicans and a american law enforcement officer. it an insult not only to briantery but african-americans everywhere. i grew up in the south and i know what racism looks like and fought against it my entire. and appointed more people of color than any governor in my statacy history and receiving 48 percent of the african-american i take a back seat to no one in fighting bigotry. it is not disappointing, it is

dus gusting to hear the attorneys of and members of congress hiding behind racism instead of talking about why briantery was dead. and who is for it it insults african-americans that accomplished great things not because they were tanglewood resort properties incorporationed up but because they were the best at what they d. there is racism in this country, and i know that. but that is not the reason that eric holder is in. it is condescending of every taxpayer that wanting answering questions is about race. if we can't get government officials who are supposed to be accountable to the taxpayers f. they are people of color, they shouldn't take the jobs. dr. king king had a dream that

people would not be judged or exed by the color of their skin but the content of their character. claiming racism by the highest ranking officer in the nation . equality means people are treated without regard to their color. when white kids don't get prosecuted to the extent that black kids do that is racism. but it is not about color on the attorney general. it is it not color but his compliance with the law. that is my view. florida congressman alen west has caused race controversy in a campaign stop when he spoke about president obama's policies he does not want you to have self-esteem.

of geth up and having that -- (inaudible) he wants you to be his slave. to be economically defendent on him. >> joining me from florida is congressman allen west. it is always a pleasure to have you on the show. >> it is a pleasure, thanks for having me. >> you have heard what i said about the eric holder vote and you vote along with the colleagues in the house in contempt. as an african-american congressman, if it does not trouble you when people try to use race as an excuse for not complying and californiing following the law and doing their jobs . >> it troubles me immensely. i was born and raised in atlantic city, georgia in the neighborhood where dr. king was raised. my school was around the

church and around the corner of his home you talk about his someone such as myself being judged by the content of my character and not the color of my skin, we find that that is reverse it is a slap in the face to us when you look at the military where people are judged on their merits, no one does not get promoted because someone said you are this color or that. it is because of incompetence we see that iminating from the department of justice. incompetence and noncompliance with the subpeona from the house of representative and we do have oversight as part separation of powers that our system tabed a sad day when those individuals walked out of the house of representatives and i would add that the chairman of the black caucus was quoted once

upon a time if someone else other than president obama be in the white house they would be marching on the white house. that is not what dr. king envisioned. >> i you stirred up controversy and not the first time you have done it? >> truth should not be controversial. >> it shouldn't be. and what you said totally understandable but you have taken heat for saying that you thought that the president wanted to make us his slaves. explain what you meant by that and why did the media get so crazy about it? >> first of all, the liberal media operates with the hypocrisy and they don't want someone to challenge them. they run in a old foala like me that had parpts to stand for something, i i don't care what they say. we have to educate the

american people. you go back and look at documents that thomas jefferson wrote. it talks about sovereignty that come from our creator and not man and government. when you look at this country, it is it a collective subjugation that is current in america. we have a 45 percent increase of food stamp increase in this country and more americans are on the poverty rolls. the jobs report, you have more people on social security and disability than the jobs were created it is my point, we are creating economic dependency and i call it slavery it is not physical but it is even worse. it trounces the entrepreneural spirit. and we don't see our small businesses being able to get capitol and because of such

things as dodd-frank. and the purpose of this administration and the leadership of president obama is to have more people related to government by system's check or government employment check and instead of growing the country and live up to the true mandates of jefferson and rights of freedoms. and i think that the reason that people love you is because you are so plain spoke yen you lay it out there and why the liberals can't stand you. and that's why we like you a lot on this program. congressman, we'll talk more with congressman allen west and ask him about the reaction to his comments. more poem filing for disability claims than got jobs. our economy is in trouble and we'll talk to congressman west and how to get it back on track when we return. >> i would love to hear from

you. go to our website mike huckabee.comand soin up to facebook and twitter find a ♪ why not make lunch more than just lunch?

with two times the points on dining in restaurants, you may find yourself asking why not, a lot. chase sapphire preferred. there's more to enjoy.

>> we are back with congressman allen west and delighted to have him with us today. there was a comment in the la times, not that you care what the la times had to say. but this was outrageous. and this is the head line. la types . america's dirtest job justifying alen west and it was talking about the republican national committee chairman to try to justify you. what on earth does that mean? and are you insulted that a major american newspaper tries to denigrate you because you are honest with the american people about your stand on dependency. >> absolute low so. and i really feel it is

demeaning to me to think that i need an individual to justify me and my existence. i went through 22 years being in the military and i raised to the rank of lieutenant colonel and bachelor and two master degrees. for white liberals havinglet condescending manner to conservatives and that we need approval for our masters for us to speak. that's where the true racism really lies is with the white liberals who don't want to see someone such as myself that broke away from dependency and contend against them with the policies that they are destroying and the black community. and to heck with them if they think that someone else needs to aprouv me and what i stand for. >> you were talking earlier congressman about the fact that more people in poverty

than we have about the war on poverty. it was suppose tod fix poverty yenow more people are on poverty and the government is encouraging people to get on food stamps is a radio spot that tax dollars are paying for that encouragings poem to sign up. listen to this and i want your reaction. >> help to all kinds of people. >> can i be eligible fihave a job. >> yes if your income is low . >> via car . >> no problem. >> i own my own house. can i qualify. >> yes, you might. >> you can own a car or house and take european vacations and by golly experience the life of julia and get on food stamps as quickly as you can. congressman, i know some people need assistance when you have kids that are hungry and families with no income. but this seems to be

ridiculous to beg people to get on food stamps and tell me what you are in the enemy and home that you own and car. sign up for government benefits. >> yeah, it is horrible when you think about the original intent of the 1964 food stamp act. we have gotten so far away from it. in 2002, we spent 20.6 billion a year today in 2012, we are spening 75.8 billion on food stamps and look at the farm bill debated in the 70. 80 percent of that farm bill is food statches it is a big business industry and used it in convenience foregas stations and just yesterday at a 7-11 taking the snap program or ebt cards. it comes back to enslavement of the american people and not

empowerment of the american people. we believe in a safety net but not that it is a hammock. we want people to achieve and take advantage of all of the opportunities that this country afford not retard their growth and development by making them subservient and jubigated to government. >> congressman, you are one of our favorites and for all of the reasons that you made clear. you speak your mind and heart and get back to the clear understanding of what the founders intended american to be. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> congressman allen west. new unemployment numbers are stuck at 8.2 percent. the president said we are headed in the right driction . we'll debate that on the hot seat when we come back, stay [ female announcer ] so how long have you been living flake-free with head & shoulders? since before jeans were this skinny... since us three got a haircut.

since my first twenty-ninth birthday. [ female announcer ] live flake-free with head & shoulders. it starts working rom your first wash. with seven benefits, there's no worries from flakes, itch or breakage. i haven't worried about flakes since my grunge days. remember them? trying not to. [ female announcer ] head & shoulders. live flake free.

>> the u.s. economy created 80,000 jobs in the entire month of the june. unemployment rate is at 8.2 percent and the president is taking a glass half full approach. >> we learned that our businesses created 84,000 new jobs last month and that means that businesses created 4.4 million new jobs in the past 28 months including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. that is a step in the right direction okay, are the latest numbers really a step in the right direction? i think it is time for the hot seat. my challengers ted. editor at above the law ellie

and liz chatterton. democratic direct mail and strategic consultant firm. we are stuck at 8.2 percent. we were supposed to be at 5.2 percent yet he said we are stepping in the right direction. help me see it >> i don't know if it is a step it is not a plunge off of the cliff. at some point you have to say if your house is on fire and obama comes and helps you put out the fire are you happy he put out the fire or angry he didn't mow your lawn. everything is not getting better as quickly as we would like. but he saved us from the cliff. that is worth system. >> i working hard at how he is saving us if more poem are unemployed. we are stuck at a high unemployment number and since the great depression. and there is one.

and liz, how is this a big step in the right direction. i am not seeing it. >> three years ago we would have killed 8.2. that looked great. did we set our expectations too high . probably. getting back to 5 in only four years that is a long way to go. think of it this way. we lost 8 million and restored 4.4 million. are we done? absolutely not. i think the president is saying, this has been hard and long and been tough. but we are move nothing the right direction and if we stop now we could go back ward that's the last thing anyone want to do. >> i am drown 30 feet under water and now only 28 feet and we are still drowning, folks, that's what i get. >> that is why aren't you why the are you better off argument is not working.

they were not better off. they lost their jobs and people are not worse off than they were. and stanched the bleeding. that is nice and something we should be proud that things didn't get as bad as it could have been. >> the president said if he hadn't turned the economy around in three years, it is it a one-time proposition . should we hold him to that. >> with all due respect to the president, you shouldn't make bold stames unless you can back them upremember gbush read my lineups. no now tax he raised taxes. >> what happened to him. >> i know the president doesn't think he it is easy. he is tap dancing like he's on broadway because he has to put a good spin. he can't say so darn we haven't made it and we are not

getting there, never mind. he has to sell the optmistic side of and is it a hard sell. yes, it is a hard sell and i think he's doing the best he can. >> i appreciate both of you being here. liz and elli. the comments on the obama tax and later we are going to have fun. hank williams junior is here for the ride. stay with us. , we'll be right back. [ kimi ] atti and i had always called oregon home. until i got a job in the big apple. adjusting to city life was hard for me. and becoming a fulltime indoor cat wasn't easy for atti. but we had each other and he had purina cat chow indoor. he absolutely loved it. and i knew he was getting everything he needed to stay healthy indoors. and after a couple of weeks, i knew we were finally home! [ female announcer ] purina cat chow indoor.

always there for you.

for your latest headlines go to foxnews.com: on fox news.com. ? you would like to comment e-mail us at fox news.com. [applause] >> land mark supreme court ruling on obama care affects every american in some way. last week we asked you to e-mail us and want tod know how it would affect you. we were stunned . we received offer a thousand responses is the stack of responses. clearly we are not going to read all of these on the show tonight. aren't you glad. we'll look at some of them. we'll look at everyone of your comments to the white house. we think the president ought to know about people like steven. >> i am a 33 year old married man and our daughter is 7 and i work for a large bank . last year we had a 90-10 plan

since obama care we had a high dedectible. i was contemplating taking her to the er and paying at deductable or waiting to make sure it was that service. i should not have to make that choice. >> you are right. you shouldn't have to make that choice. that's the choice more and more americans should have to make they will decide when they can and when you can't go. it will be expensive and what makes better sense is a health savings account where you have an amount of money and you make that decision whether to draw from the money from the health savings account or not use it in the end of the year. if you haven't used that money. you get to cope it or roll it over tax-fro. that makes more sense. we have this from pam from

dallas. because obama care will eliminate medicare. many doctors are no longer accepting them. we received two letters from the primary care accepting they will not accept medicare advantage plan and we can't keep our doctor. obama lied to us. medicare has four parts. and part c is what is called advantage. it takes over a and b and basic hospitalization and medical expenses and you decide to pay in more to have a broader health care coverage plan. obama care will virtually get rid of the part c or medicare advantage for many people, that means if you are in senior years and you prepared by buying medicare advantage program, it is not going to mean much. what does that mean to you.

more money or not getting the medical care that you have been use tod getting and it might be medical device or eye glasses and inentdental care or going to the doctor for check ups is it a lot of ways seniors will find that obama care did not cover them. how else did you expect obama could cut 500 billion out of it and put more people on the program. something had to give, guess what it was? coverage for you. >> dora from new york had this to say. obama care will force us to close our doors after 49 years in business. so sad for small businesses that are crucial for a good economy. peter rosser wrotitous. i have lost two million in contracts due to the destablation of obama care. i will lay off 93 staff. that is 93 added to the

unemployment lines. clients are unsure of their costs and doing without consulted service. and not all agree that it is bad. david wrote i think that judge roberts energized the conservative base and moved many independents to the right and left the wide open as on your show was mentioned to repeal the tax with a simple majority. he must be smiling brudely. i don't think john roberts did it for a political tactic. why he did it i have no idea. other than he believes that when you have two branches of government who pass something and the president signs it, then the court ought to try a way to hold it than get rid television. that could be argued. but no one predicted what the out come could be. is it a political advantage for the republicans going forward. it is. because it is energized a

number of people in this country that are lack dasical about the election and not excited about the republican ticket and saying i don't know if it will matter. now they know it does matter. not only in the presidential race but in the house and senate races as well. and without 51 votes in the senate, there is no way to repeal obama care and if you want to repeal obama care. you have to repeal obama who is a part of obama care otherwise it can't happen. a lot of you wrotitous from about the family doctors. my doctor told me i start ought to look for a new physician because he is giving up private practice. my family doctor sent out a retirement notice to all of his patients this week dustin holtwherevisiting with our family practice doctor. he informed us as of august 1st. he will be getting out of

family practice and going in specialized surgery obama care first passed within five years, you will see two levels of medical care in america . concierge for wealthy people who afford to pay a mongly retainer to the best doctors and go see them when they want to and no waiting time and the doctors will nolt cover people with insurance and you pay the doctor and you have the insurance you will collect it and the doctor will not deal with that part. and only the people with the capacity to pay the doctor on the spot will acess the best doctors . everybody else will be lined nup long lines to see the doctors who are left and believe me, it is going to be a long wait. and the one thing that i may be off about. i said five years i hear stories like i heard in the emaims, it may be two or three years when it is a reality and

doctor after doctors tell me the same thing. they can't be in business when they are reimburse less than what it costs to perform the service. >> you can't sell soap 50 cents thats a dollar and stay in business. huner had second thoughts after seeing the cost increases. i was for obama care when it would save me and my clients money. my insurance agent said $500 a month, i will be paying $900 a month for the first year after passage. today it is over a $1,000 a month. that is $6000 and six percent of our total family income and doubled 12 percent of our income goes to health care premiums is the untold fact

about health care premiums. your insurance company works off the risk factor and they have to assume how much risk is involve would f. they pay out more than taken in. they go out of the insurance and no one has insurance. and ultimately what obama care leads to. one payer that can pay out money. guess what that is. uncle sugar and if you think we are not headed to a single payer system with the government being the single payer you don't understand obama care joe an's question is this. can t ss ds d family

for civilization ask not just christians to redefine is to redefine. and in a communicate where 72 percent of children are growing up with single parents and crisis of community due to

the break down of a family in all races, it is critical that we try to encourage the president to reverse his position. the african-american church holds trongly to a biblical definition of family. >> you wrote in kingdom man and how christians should vote. poem ought to look for the character of the candidate more than anything else. do you think that people will automatically vote for barak obama because he is african-american if they themselves come from that community or will they take a second look this time and vote with convicks basod what they heard in churches like yours? >> i hope, and the reason i wrote how christians should vote is to bring them to a god centered approach of politics and the bible is full of politics . you vote for the party or candidate that best reflects the kingdom of god. and you put a sheet of paper and what the democrats and

what god said and you organize them in priority and now you know how to vote. but you done purely on race or culture. you want to move the culture as close to god as you get it you find the platform and policies that does that. >> unemployment rate for african-american was at 12.1 percent four years ago. it is now 14.4 percent. and under this president african-americans have not done as well even as they were doing four years ago. republicans can and use maybe you ought to give someone else a chance. >> economics is the issue and one of many issues and it is a major issue and in the state of black america is something that we need to be concerned about. that means we need to look at economic plans for both pears

and how well they aline again with biblical principles. god gave them adam and great freedom only one tree he couldn't eat. and judgments if he didn't obey. the bible teaches limited government and so that self government becomes the opportunity. what family and church and civil government should do is promote. the individuals capacity to maximize the potential. and when you take that away them. you remove the opportunity. >> and pastor tony evans it is a pleasure to talk to them. good news for the -- it was kingdom man and you are going to love the book. it is fantastic and i hope those in our viewing audience will order their copy at amazon.comand where good books are sold.
