finally tonight it was one year ago thatan drew pass would away. he's a big reason that the program has been on the air six years and one year ago red eye did a special tribute and we broke up the time he crashedanth thee weiner's press conference. >> you want to talk about the ways with which he received the photos, she attested that it came from congressman weiner. i have seen a lot of the congressman's body and he's a very good shape. >> the great thing he took over it is press conference . basically changed history. we miss him. fox reports.

huckabee is in two second says. mr. you are criticized for dodging the tough questions. wait a minute, i am a busy man and i don't have time to waste. i only take serious questions on matters that are important to the american people. i hope you have a serious question. >> oh, i do. mr. president, whose decision was it to go with the bangs on the first lady. yours or mishil? >> we spend a lot of time debate someone has to lead and make tough decision michelle's call.

let me be clear. i may be the boss when it come to running the country but in the white house michelle makes all of the decision. >> rail that was a lousy question. you spoke about the devastating impact and jobs on the siquester . then you the impact will not be so bad. were you sounding alarm balls.te here . take her press credentials, too. and somebody tell tiger i am on my way. >> tonight on huckabee. the constitution guarantees the freedom of the press and right to be critical of government but not in this white house. >> it was a half hour he shouted at me. i don't want to be challenged or crossed. the journalist on the obama administration bummying tactics and why he cut ties. >> and none of this is it

necessary. as sequestration passes guess who the president is it happening. >> it is it happening because of a choice republicans in congress made. >> why the gop will not budge this time. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much . welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. okay, remember y2k and myyan calendar and break up of the beatems and the scare that is tepid than terror. president and prophet barack obama delirched thented end of the world stermon with a fervor of a strite preacher and honesty of a medicine show doctorsoming magic elixir.

this time america tuned him out because there is just so many teleprompter tirade. thanks to broken promise no one in the middle class would pay a dime in tax. gasoline prices are double what they were when the president took office. he seems content since his credit card doesn't fuel air force one or the long murder cade. he seem to prefer to buy oil from megawilthy mideast princes. the ridiculous ranting that he can't find 2.4 percent out of a budget bloated with bacon, that's laughable. we are talking about 83 billion. that is it a lot of money and equal to what big banks get in stub sidis and bail outs from the federal treasury every year. identical to the amount we

bory every month andaldads to a debt that is it doubled under the president. i can find more painless cuts accidentally than he claims he can find to the finest minds and ivy league schools in the land. their knives caint be that dull. as a gov knov, i had to cut 10 percent or more from the budget. we kept scooms open and police and firemen still answered the calls and good southern mothers made bis cutes and red-eye gravy . churches still had dinner on the ground and all day singing on fifth sundays. if the president wants to find 83 billion, stop the sweet deals to the big bankings and sequestration somped - solve would. ed -- solved. if you are so bad at math that you can't squeeze a couple of pennies out of the dollar to bance the budget and ready to

throw up your hands, here is it a sincere honest and even bipartisan solution. appoint six former governors, three democrats and three republicans no longer in office at the state or federal level . give them two hours and lunch and they will have it figured out before they get to the fried pies in dessert. i would volunteer but i know you would never let me near the budget or the fried pies. i served with governors who can do this . i promise you each much these guys has had to trim more than two and half percent from the budget before. forevermore democratic governors in tennessee and colorado and richarpedson of new mexico and bob wise of west virginia and edrend dal of pen exten and howard dean of virmont to name a few. michael levitt of utome

thotcheson in wisconsin and frank keating of oklahoma . 've and pick your own; it is not that hard. if you can't bring yourself to elim in a minute from the federal feast let others do it turnover the teleprompter and pick up a telephone and call some of these guys for the sake. country. [ applause ] well, we will talk more about the sequester later. this week we learned that the white house doesn't like to be critized and targeted biggest names in washington. legendary washington reporter bob woodward challenge would the president's account on the origin of the sequestration cuts. that led to a heated exchange twine woodward and spirling. >> it a half an hour which he

shouted at me. i have known him 20 yearings. i e-mailed him. i don't worry about shouts. >> in those e-mails, sperling apologized for raising his voice, but he included in the e-mail. i know you may not believe but as a friend, i think you will regrit staking out that claim. >> press secretary jay carny claimed it was not a threat. >> you cannot read those emaims and come -- e-mails and get the impression he was threatening anybody. >> he spoke out about similar treatment of a white house staffer in the washington times. >> and i was told if he continued to write in my columes. his reporters would likewise white house credentialings. >> woodarded a large outpouring from journalist.

>> people in the press saying this is it the way the white house workings. they are trying to control and they don't want to be challenge would or -- challenged or crossed. >> they are not the only ones to face heavy fire for questioning their policiless. >> rod forny said his own relationship with a senior white house official source became so toxic that he cut ties with him. it happened after ron tweeted about bob woodward's criticism much obama. obama white house, woodward is it willfully wrong. what did the white height say about woodward. ron forny writes a senior white house official that ron used as an unnamed source sent him an indignant e-mail. what is next a nazi analogy?

he accused ron spriding bs. he told the source to stop e-mailing him and any feture emaims will - e-mails will be pub blisherable. i spoke to ron earlier and asked how al relationship with a white house official deteriorated to the point he had to cut thai ties? >> it was a combination of things, i felt like the person trying too hard to intimidate me and my reporters when i was editor in chief of the national journal. there no relationship of give or take. it was all combat and trying to explain why i was stupid and why i was wrong and why can'tip see the president as great as this person could. i was not getting anything out of it except for a headache and a waste of time. other reporters might have a

hard deeming with that . i just didn't think it why should i be tangled up in this. it was something i never done before. if you want to call me anymore or e-mail me, behave yourselfivering is now on the record. >> did he respond to you? >> no. >> you have not gotten a response? >> no. bob who is a ledgindary washington reporter as possible as being had his own dust up with want white house. ip am amazed, ron that other white house reporters said woodward is blowing it out of porportion. s he blowing it out of porportion. ? >> no, the story is not about bob. it is it about the fact that our government and our leaderships knew a deadline coming. they set the deadline both republicans and democrats and let the poorly governed cuts

take affect without one serious budget negotiation. that's what the story is about this week. if you want to get in the conduct with the reporter pull back the lens further it is not the conversation, but how is the white house generally conducting itself with the media and house republicans conducting themselves . how is it the media conducting themselves. are we hommeding the leaders accountable. if the reporter is not holding both sides accountabbling for the fiasco this week they're not doing their jobs. >> the role of the press is the people's watch dog and being the eyes and ears not only for your publication, but for the people so that democracy with work. is that view pervasive in journalism today? >> no, it is getting liss and less. atz you know, one . changes as we talk about it earlier on, not only is it

politicings but the media and we have so many organizations that do have a partisan agenda and it is stated as part of the business model and so what happens, there is less room in the middle for people taking shots at both sides. who can i tick off and can i throw the yellow flag on. there are fewer reporters that have the experience to do that and have the platform to do it . the ability for the bosses to do it ron, i have known you 22 years. a great reporter is one that when you read the story, you don't know if they like you or not. the story may make you bad. but it is the truth. you are not mad at the reporter. if you read the story and know how the reporter files it is not a very objective pice.

>> you have to train yourself as a reporter to do. we all have biass and personal opinions. you have to do everything and look at both sides of the story and you can throw the flag on whatever side that appears to be the most wrong. i would like to hear fru. go to mikehuckabee.com. sign up for my facebook page and follow me on twitter. and follow me on twitter. you can find the link to that [ indistinct shouting ] ♪ [ indistinct shouting ] [ male announcer ] time and sales data. split-second stats.

>> ron you have covered thry presidential administration going back to the clinton years, what do you think is different oir is there anything different in the obama administration and their relationship with the press? >> there is. i think since i came here in '93 with clinton, there is it a steady decline in the relationship with the press and white house. up want to have an adversarial

relationship, but you need mutual respect like you and i . that declined a bit under president bush and thin president obama. >> what is the reason for that? why the deterioration? >> i think there is it a lot of reasons. one the culture as you know governor, you talk about it all of the time is more coars than it has been . washington is polarized and it makes all of us less tolerant with each other and put on top of that a changing media landscape and fewer reporters and less experience. it gives the press secretaries the upper hand. you now have what i feel like unfortunately is a perpetual state of combat. not only in the white house but on the agencies and hill republican or democrat. there is it a lack between the reporters and government officials like we had back in arkansas. >> i know we never exchanged

vulgarities . maybe you did behind my back but never to my face? >> there is it a difference, yeah. >> maybe i did it behind your back but never to your face. that is something you wrote about national journal piece this week, it is not just adversarial, but it is it at a level of vulgarity and intensit i that most people would be shocked by. >> yeah, and the reason i took the step i done, i felt like the person was waving my time and the taxpayer's time. this person works a few steps from thor val office and shouldn't be writing nasty emaim tots press. a lot of reporters don't center as covering as as you can be . i say that jokingly. someone who is not use to dealing with like me and don't have the experience you and i do. i worry about younger

reporters railsing, you have to conduct yourself civility and if the other folks don't you can walk away and you don't center to be bullied it is a perpetual campaign we have in washington and both studies, everyone republican or democrat feels like they have to go to war withiver issue. >> the americansy feel there is it a amazing cotwine the white house and the white house priss corp and it is it treated with kid by the press and don't hold them to the same standarped and even from my perspective compared to bill clinton, it seemed like he was more harshly treated from a public perspective and i want you to speak to the role of journalist in that position it is it a heady place to be in the white house press room. is it tough to be the watch dog for the people, and not

the housepet for the administration? >> i never found it tough. i got in the business as you know, because i liked the idea of a guy who barely got out of the college and outranked by iq pointers by 20 or 30 points and i could still get under your skin and hold you accountable and question your motives and your conduct as a leadership. i didn't center a problem in the white house . most of the pime i worked with didn't center a problem doing that balance. you wanted to have a civil relationship with the people you work with . it is it important you center a adversarial or respective relationship. you don't want to be a house pet. why just listen to the party line ask dictationist. i know i didn't look at it that way. >> ron, it is it a pleasure to visit wu. i didn't like what you always

wrote about me but it was narr and i mean that. >> thank you, governor, the filing is it mutual. >> the president waurned of doom and gloom and now the sequester went through, is anyone going to notice? i will ask the arizona congressman when we come back. [ applause ]

you [ applause ] >> earlier this week the department of homeland security released hundreds of illegal immigrants that were held in detention centers. that was with anticipation of the sequestration. republicans including house speaker john boehner was less than thrill would with that decision. >> i frankly think this is outrageous and i am looking

for more facts, i can't believe that they can't find the kind of stavings they need out of that department short of letting crim nams go fry. >> homeland security secretary janit napolitano regrets the decision but was not aware of the release of illegals saying that the call was maid by official field. we have arizona matt salon. congressman great to have you here. >> thank you. >> this is it your home state where the illegals were release former governor of arizona and homeland security said she didn't know anything about it do you think it irresponsible on the obama administration. >> it is it flat out irresponsible and how many times are the american people going to take this president at face value. he said he didn't know

anything about bengazi or fast and furious which also here in my state and now he didn't know about the thousand of illegal immigrants process detained let out. what doesn't he understand about the term of commander in chief? president truman had a sign on his desk that said the buck stops here. obama has one said the buck stops anywhere but here. >> why is he the president of the united states? >> he went to chuck hagel's school. i don't know. i don't know. that's what we get from the administration when it come to how come the illegals were turned out of detention centers? >> we'll've we've become distrusting of anything that the president said. any time a calamity occurs he takes zero responsibility and getting to the bottom of the problems whether with bengazi or fast and furious or this

calamity the president takes no responsibility. they stone wall answers and don't give us. it is time for the american people to rise up demand answers from this president. [ applause ] >> speaking of responsibility, yesterday there was a meeting that the president had with congressional lettered includug jone boehner and mitch mcconnell and they had a meeting, first they have had in weeks. they got together and he said no progress and it is it all the republican's fault. was there anything of value in the meeting or it just for show? >> i think it totally for show. i think the president tired of getting critism saying he was traveling here and there but not to the senate to ask his pal harry reid to finally pass a budget. it is over 1400 days since the senate passed a budget. where are thyself guys? they're awol. the president held a meeting

just i believe for show, and now, heap's trying to blame everything on the republicans. well, the fact isunder sequestration governor, you said governor country had to face tough decisions all of the time. our governor, governor brewer inherited a terrible budget from the lady that is it homeland security janet napolitano who was our prior gov goch. it a terrible deficit and arizona has cut spending 30 percent. that is not cut necessary projected increases like the federal government does and calm that a cut in spending, thyself were actul real cuts and the state budget of arizona was listen billion and now around 8 billion. these are the kind of things that leaderships have to do. >> and fine leaders are doing them. congressman, stay with meep. why good news may be bad news for democrats on the

sequestration. we'll continue with the congressman next.

to fox news.com. ♪ we are back with congressman matt samob. so many things the president said would happen with sequestration. we'll put a list up. he painted the doomsday even though he walk would a loost that back. one emergency responders would be affected. explain to me how emergency responders would be affected by a federal cut of two and half percent when they are locally or state funded? >> that is it a popular trick that city council's often use to cut their budgets. instid of the waste and fraud and abuse. they cut police and fire . i thinkment president took a page occupant of the their political notebook. talk about cutting police and fire. you are sister athey are

funded by local jurisdictions . let me tell you something, governor. if he is serious about waste and fraud and abuse and one more category silliness. he can start now and we will be happy to work with himpt >> he mentioned also tichers and they are hired by local school boopered and not the federal government. >> exactly. >> because i think that soy many of the things are issues that the natural government doesn't directly fund in the first place. >> let me actul a few areas he could look at. over payment on fooped stamps for people who didn't qualify for food stamps and got the food statches and spent the money. four million for i.r.s. tv . 325,000 for robotic squirils. i have a news flash. i have a better way to find nut white house. [laughing] [ applause ] >> congressman, you have a

second career lined up for you if this congressional gig doesn't work out. let's talk about the fact that the president keeps saying we need a balanced approach. the president got a huge tax increase of $600 pillion in the first part of the year. he promised cuts. have you seen cuts from the white house or democrats? >> not one thin dime worth of cuts has the president. >> and the house gave the president other alternatives for cutting out waste and fraud and abuse. but the president asked his pal harry reid to stick it in his drawer. the way they do everything right now . the senate hasn't passed a budget in four years and they're not acting with this in a responsible way. i am ready to go and do the job of the team. i think most of the republican colleagues they deal with in the house are willing and able

to work with the president to go ahead and cut waste, fraud and abuse. but we have to deal with entitlement spend if we don't deal with that. there will be a serious comupance . maybe obama will not care because he will be out of office by then. but a lot of people will be hurt if we don't act on this problem now. >> just to close things up here, what about the fact that congress took off this weekend f. world is about to end, i would think all hand on deck. the president has the weekend off and you guys have a weekend off. is that a signal it is not quite the urgent crisis we are told? >> total federal spending is going to grow by 15 billion this next year and over the next 10 years if sequestration does take place all 10 yearings, there will be a 67 percent increase. we'll go from a 3.5 trillion budget this year in the end of 10 years to a six trillion

budget even sequestration in place. mr. president get real and get to the table and cut spinding. -- spending. >> congressman, thank you very much it is it a pleasure to visit with you. i appreciate you on the show today. >> very much. reporter: the president could have fixed it he could have proposed the specific things he thought we could have cut. things like the robotic squirils which most of us gray we could have done without. republicans were not willing to give him cart blac question and there is it questions about the president making appropriations. the president could have made proposals and given it to congress fl . then you would have had not only the process that is preserved for the checks and balances that we have built in the constitution, but then the

ways to cut the money within the sequestration and really again, it is not cutting the budget, but how much is going to grow over the next year. i am convinced that the president didn't want it to work out very well. if you thought the president crying wolf over the impact. budget cuts. wait until what one demdim said how many americans could lose their jobs. my reaction and the quotes of the week is next.

former press secretary robert gibbs talked about the issue. >> when i was press secretary. one of the first thing they told me you are not to acknowledge the drone program or discuss that it existings. >> the president has seen our denial of the existence of the presently when it is obviously happening undermines people's confidence over all in the decisions that the government makes. >> if he spoke that clearly when he was press secretary, we would have all loved him. the fact he said is serious if you think about it the fact that the president and administration instructed the press secretary not to acknowledge a very significant program of dealing with terrorism. this is an administration for a long time didn't want to acknowledge that we were at war with terse -- terrorist. that is not transparence yewe

need some. the debate in washington goes on. barbara lee has a proposal will make the government safer and bigger. she introduced legislation for a creation of peace building that would include the creation of a cabinet level condition of secretary of peace building. according to the bill, the department would be dedicate tod peace billing, peace-make the study and proing motion of conditions for peace and culture of peace court and jury woman. --- - congresswoman. when my sister and i used to fight. my dad would take one or two ways to get us to stop. one, i would like for you to be nice to each other and maybe we'll let you share a popsicle and call it a peace

sickle. that is one way . the other way, he would say do you want me to take my belt off? guess which way got our undivide attention and brought peace between the two of us. jesus said blessed are the peace makers and not the peace lovers. our soldiers would like peace more than anybody. because it is thim and - them and their lives that are on the line when bullets fly. they are peace lovers but also peace makers. i want to do peace with common stens. -- sense. vice-president biden's obsession with shot guns continuous. in an interview with field and stream magazine the vice-president let us know how to protect our hoimings. if you want to keep someone away from your house fire the shot gun through the door.

how did that work out for oscar pistorius? i am not sure that worked out too well. mr. biden in virginia, not far from where you live in washington, a young man thought he had burglars coming in his house and he fired the shot gun through the door. the burglars got away and the young man was arrested for the violation of misuse of a fire arm. that is twice telling people to go use a shot gun. once telling your wife to pop a few . both cases you have encouraged people to commit felonies that. will not solve the prison overcrowding. fotshot gun may not be the best idea and god help us if you get one. spheeking of joe biden maxine waters made a gaffe that could rival the vice-president speaking about the sequestration. >> we don't need to be having

something like sequestration up that is it going to cause these job loss says 11 -- 170 million jobs lost. >> 170 million jobs lost because of sequestration? one little bit i problem. there is only 150 million people that are employed in the united states of america. this is so bad that the sequestration not every every working american lose their job. all 150 million. but we have to import 20 million people in the country just for the purpose of firing to get up to the level of 170 million people losing jobs . now in fairness she later came back and someone gave her the right number. when you are this far off and think that the loss of 83 billion dollars will costiver working american his or her job and you wonder why the

country is in trouble when people like that are running the country? hello? that is why . when it comes to raising your kids, who knows better you or the government? a classic example of the government telling you that it knows better for your kid and families than you do. you don't want to miss [ applause ]

[ applause ] >> they came to america so they could raise their children and freely home school them with christian and they are in cange much being deported. they fled jeremy in 2008 where home schooling is against the

law. parents must send their children to a government school. if they don't they face jail time and they settled in tennessee where the judge granted them asylum and now the case is disputed by the justice and attorney general holder and said germany's ban on home schooling is not a ban on their rights. >> michael, does the department . justice handling the case kind of indicate that they think government can do a better job in making decision? >> they embraced the german position. germany doesn't want home schooling because germany doesn't want people to think differently. home scooming is a freedom we fought for. they should be free to pursue that here as well >> why does the case matter to americans

that the justice department involved themselves? >> it is the way the justice department chose to argue the case that stends alarm bells to home schoolers and everybody who loves liberty. they argued that parents don't center a fundmental liberty interest to direct the education of children. that applies to home schoolers and every parent. do you get to make decisions for your own child. if we take it away. >> it is it a government privilege to make education decision. >> that's the result of their argument yes, indied . they argued in the case that individual liberties themselves don't give rise to human rights violation that are a basis for asylym. all they argue is group rights f. we are treated as equals. thenvillite -- then individual rights don't matter. it is central to the constitutional rights. >> that is so different than

the founders who said that you know, our rights are individual, that all men are created equal and not all groups are created equal. it represents a collectivist . >> because they don't belong to a denomination that forces them to home school their children you don't center the right to do it only if your denomination forces you to home school. that collectist thinking comes from the administration. >> that is it important. i think a lot of american people need to understand you have to be a part of your group that believes something that said your individual beliefs are immaterial to the united states government. >> that is right. disphite the fact that the supreme court has said on numerous occasion religious liberty is an individual right. you don't have to agree with your church or anybody else in

the universe it between you and god. that is it the same principle that our country was founded on. the founders understood it was a individual liberty. gun rights is a individual right. they don't seem to like individual rights in this administration. >> if this were to stand, it would be having a chilling affect not only on home schooling and education but on all rights. why doesn't the aclu join with you in the case. the individual has a right to have a different opinion and be all by himself out there in stutch an opinion. i think the aclu might join us. it is right this coming friday. [ applause ] -- they center stood up for home schooling in the last years i have defended home

schooling families and their kids. we really need to stand together as all mirns who believe in individual liberty and people on both studies of the aisles who get this and this doesn't seem to understand. >> it is it an amazing case. why will update our audience as the case goes to trial and goes before the 6th circuit. >> on program 23rd and if people want to go to the website, they can read about it >> they really should. it is very frightening. thank you for joining us. before we go. i want to thank reggie brown for his impersonation on president obama. go to i am reggie brown.com. i am reggie brown. i am mike huckabee, good night and god bliss. -- bless.
