news sunday." >> tonight on huckabee, the federal government is about to break a record on the amount of tax dollars collects from illinois. and illinois congressman says the time for tax reform has come. >> and comedy legend carol burnett takes us behind the scenes of her iconic show and shares stories of her daughter she lost to cancer. >> when she died, i didn't think i could -- i didn't want to live, really. >> this is my property and i'm going to defend it. >> robbed over a dozen times, he finally had enough. >> i finally caught him. >> how this store owner took matters into his own hands.

♪ >> welcome to huckabee, we are live tonight from little rock, arkansas. all right. tomorrow your taxes are due. if you didn't already know that. and i've got some good news and some bad news. the good news is that your government thinks you're a millionaire. the bad news is that even though you aren't, your taxes are going up. and even though the president promised otherwise. >> if your family earned less than $250,000 a year, a quarter million dollars a year, you will not see your taxes increase a single dime. i repeat, not one single dime. >> oh, really? well, you felt it at the beginning of the year when your paycheck got smaller due to the expiration of the so-called bush tax cuts and now you're starting to feel it

more with the cost of obamacare hitting you in the face like a cream pie. congress mouths about tax reform, but real reform would end congressional power to manipulate the tax code and create winners and losers in the marketplace. each april 15th i'm reminded just how different this day would be if we would implement the fair tax. the fair tax would not raise or lower our current taxes, but it would change the way that we collect taxes from the current system of punishing productivity and rewarding irresponsibilities, then we would pay taxes when we consume something. we would pay tax when we buy something, not when we earn something. you know, since everybody bias things, we'd all be paying something, it would mean that drug dealers and prostitutes, pimps and gamblers would be paying their own taxes instead of you having to pay your fair share as well as their fair share. and you wouldn't be punished for work as income tax would

be abolished, you wouldn't be punished for savings, investing or leaving something behind for your kids. you could throw away that shoe box full of receipts and slips of paper because you wouldn't file taxes, enjoy april 15th as another beautiful spring day. the irs, who got caught reading our e-mails and stomping all over the fourth amendment, would disappear completely and maybe the president would like it because he loves to talk about rich people paying more, and since they'd buy more expensive things, they'd pay more. that's fair. but at least we'd all be paying something. most lobbying in washington is all about manipulating the tax code to get breaks for those who can afford to pay the lobbyists. with the fair tax, the power shifts from washington to you. you decide to pay taxes when you buy things at the retail market. if if you haven't read the

fair tax book by congressman john lender and neil worts, i hope you do, i think you agree we don't need to tinker with the tax code, we need to eliminate the tax code. how much retirement money is enough? president obama seems to know. the budget that he's proposing calls for a 3 million dollar cap on ira's and 401(k)'s, and you can't save anymore tax-free money after that. that may not affect many people now, but if you're a young person starting out now and making the maximum contributions of a 3 million dollar nest egg, it's possible over 40 years. and joining me now, congressman on the budget committee and congresswoman, it's a pleasure to have you here, thanks for joining me. >> oh, it's good to see you as well, governor. thank you so much. >> this idea of capping retirement, i mean, that seems like you're now encouraging people not to save for retirement and that the

government has a better idea of how much we really ought to set aside than we do. >> shocking, isn't it? and i think that this is nothing more, governor, as you and i both know, this is another back door tax increase. and it's a shame because i can tell you, you know, hoosiers in the state of indiana, hard-working folks are sitting around the table every day trying to figure out how to balance their budgets at home, you know, having to pay tax bills tomorrow and having to do all the things that they expect our federal government to do. and as we try to incentivize people and teach people to save money, save for retirement, don't be he dependent upon the government, this is a, this is a shotgun blast, this is really tough for families to be able to hear now that we not only have a president who is insisting on more tax increases in addition to the tax increases in obamacare, in addition to the tax increases from last year, carried over, this president is insisting on having his way in making sure

that one way or the other, they extract more money from working americans and i just think that, you know, folks at home are worried about this, governor, they're worried about it in the state of indiana. >> mike: i know you have an exchange with the president and you actually asked him whether or not he thought we ought to put a focus on balancing the budget and i thought the answer he gave you, how did he respond to your request to say, gee, we ought it balance the budget like we do his families. >> he did, he talked in our conference, and it was an honor to meet the president of the united states and had a champions to say the federal government, you know, if our people in the state of indiana, americans have to balance the budget and pay the interest on our mortgages, shouldn't the same thing be expected at the federal level, and he looked at me pretty quickly and kind of said, well, jackie, american is not a family and if we balance the budget too quickly, we will

lose revenue. and i just think that's very telling, governor, of wore this president is, that all of these discussions and one of the most shocking things to me about his budget is that he took the time to come to the congress, he took the time to come to the republican conference, and i'm-- i was as shocked as everybody else that they're very clear about the fact that their budget will affect never balance, and is not intended to. that's shocking to hear from him and from his own words that, you know, if we balance too quickly, it will lose revenue. this is a revenue generating administration, a revenue generating president and at the same time we put a balanced budget out there, governor, a few weeks ago, we passed a balanced budget that will balance in ten years and will create jobs and i just wanted to let you know because you're very familiar with the great state of indiana that i come from, as we talk about the issue of balancing the budget, i think it's important for folks to realize we're not

talking about the balancing for the sake of balancings, we tried in indiana, we balanced our budget and within a few years we were the top state in the nation of job creation. and the foundational test, if you balance the budget you will have a creation opportunity to create jobs in your state or your country that you cannot have otherwise. and that's why the pursuit of a balanced budget is so important. >> mike: you know, we had a record tax revenue last year. >> we did. >> mike: highest ever in the united states. so, it sounds like that if we give more money and more tax increases, we're not going to cut spending, we're just going to spend more money and that will never balance out if we continue to do that. >> see, that's the. thing. washington has a spending problem, the spending is out of control and we're looking at 17 trillion dollars now with spending and the thing that's so disingenuous about this is, we have to talk about it. this is balanced on the backs of kids that are literally being born this year,

toddlers, kindergarteners, first and second graders, young people that are coming out of college with record debt. they're going to be looking at 60 and $70 of additional national debt they're going to have to pay for. i was in a store, yesterday, governor and a senior citizen came up to me and grabbed my arm and said to me, you know, my husband and i are worried sick about what's happening with the out of control spending. and so, people are talking about it, you know, when i go in the grocery store and shop and folks are worried about the price of milk and eggs and the price of gasoline and how to put their kids through college, it's because of this debt. and again, you know, we're not just saying, let's balance for the sake of balance. the only way we're going to produce jobs in our nation, and set free the kids in our country, to be able to have the kind of life that we did and even better, is to get this spending under control. >> mike: congresswoman great to talk to you, thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you, governor, thank you very much. >> mike: all right, still ahead, my interview with the

one and only carol burnett, but first, thieves broke into his business and they robbed him over and over again after more than a dozen thefts in three months, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. the store owner who stood up to the crooks is coming up next. i'd like to hear from you, go to my website, mik mikehuckabee.com and tell me what you think or sign unfor my facebook page and follow me on twitter.

>> my next guest is a power equipment shop owner. he was robbed 15 times over a three-month period. he reported the incident to the police and installed surveillance cameras, but the thieves continued to break into his property during the night and stole thousands of dollars of supplies. after finally just having enough, he camped out in his lot overnight with his handgun.

joining me now with the outcome, darin, thanks for joining us, i'd be pretty frustrated if i got ripped off 15 times in a three-month period. was it frustration or anger that lead you to say i'm calming out with a gun? >> you know, it was a little bit of both. you can imagine there was a lot of sleepless nights. up to the point of actually catching this guy, they had actually only been hitting in the far yard so it was just parts units. when we had noticed earlier in the day that day they had started cutting into the french that would be customer units and i'd have to write checks to cover those costs. >> mike: were the police helpful? i mean, you know, you'd call them every time you'd get a break-in during the night. what did they tell you hey, too bad, we can't help you? >> the original response from the police department wasn't very favorable, but then in talking to them in

recurrences, you know, they had half the budget two years ago obviously they can't park a guy out my parking lot all night long. they've got bigger fish to fry than lawn mowers. you just got a gun and it's often they were going to come back as often as they'd come. were you nervous about confronting some burglars with your gun? >> well, yeah, a little bit. you know, obviously, this thing can go south pretty quick, but you know, i've had a gun on my side for the better part of 15 years and i'm a concealed carry holder, my wife is, my father is a retired police officer, been around guns my whole life. not only that, but this guy took his time cutting through the fence and started cutting ten feet from where we were laying, my son-in-law was with me. >> mike: wow. >> i had a good amount of time to think about it and where i wanted this to go and how to get there. >> mike: tell me what you said. did you stand up and say, stop or i'll shoot?

i'm curious what did you say to a guy that's caught breaking into your place and you've got the gun? >> you know, that was my biggest asset i think over the gun is the beeper had set off, i have a 500 decibel beeper, and as i stood up to apprehend him, the beeper covered the noises i made and i came up behind him, freeze get on the ground and i honestly figured the cops had him. when he saw it was the guy he was stealing from probably made it worse for him. his hands were up and he was headed to the ground on his knees before he faced me. >> mike: and at that point he didn't know whether you were a cop or the owner. but obviously, he complied. now, what if you hadn't had a gun if you'd had a baseball bat or maybe you could have read to him some select quotations from a nice book how he should change his behavior. do you think the outcome would

have been the same. the outcome would have been different. if i would have stepped up with a baseball bat, this guy had a record and just gotten out on bail, in jail for battery. this guy would have thought he was tough if i had a baseball bat and i would have had to hurt him or i would have gotten hurt. it would not have been remotely the same outcome. the gun kept everybody calm. nobody got hurt. it was used for what it was supposed to be used for. >> mike: any break-ins since that time? >> no, sir. >> mike: i think you solved the problem. >> yeah, you know, it's funny, i've been getting lots of anti-gun stuff coming at me on different threads and you look at stuff online and lots of liberal people out there just, just letting me have it, you know? and it's funny we're not an easy target anymore and we can actually sleep now and not have to worry about it. >> mike: darin, i'm glad it turned out well for you. i think, you know, you give us a great reminder that a lot of

police forces across the country are seeing their budgets slashed. they can't get to us and the old saying is that when seconds count, the police are just minutes away and it's why a lot of people like darin are doing what he's doing. and that's protecting his own property, not being some kind of wild west renegade vigilante, but doing what every american has a constitutional right to do, to protect himself and his property. darin, i'm glad it worked out well. >> thank you, it's --. >> mike: president obama is looking to increase taxes again. congressman aaron shock would like tax reform, but where do you start? i'll talk to him next. and later, my interview with the queen of

>> well, if you think you are already paying too much to uncle sam, just wait. the treasury expects to collect a record 2.7 trillion dollars in taxes from americans just this year. illinois congressman aaron schock serves on the tax writing house ways and means committee. he's on the front lines of the battle for comprehensive tax reform. congressman, great to have you here. i want to start-- >> hey, governor, good to be with you. >> mike: it's tax day tomorrow and americans are scrambling figuring out how to get it done. the president has his done and released publicly over the weekend and effective tax rate just about 18%. is that a fair share? >> well, look, i think you and i agree that it would be a lot easier if we had a flat tax and everybody paid the same percent on all the earnings and we didn't need to hire

high priced accountants and tax attorneys to comb through what is now 70,000 pages of tax code to try and take advantage of all kind of loopholes and deductions and credits, which allow people like president obama to pay a lot lower than the top rate of what is now 43%. you know, the president is in the top tax bracket in our country, thanks to obamacare and the tax increases on january 1, that top rate for all households over 450,000 is 43%. and so, i think most americans at home tonight are looking at the president's income of 650,000, between his book sales and some of the other royalties and investment income, 650,000 in income and only paid a net effect of 18%. and you know, the president talks a lot about fairness, talks a lot about everybody paying their fair share, and so what the ways and means committee would like to do in cooperation with the senate finance committee is make it fair.

get rid of all the loopholes. get rid of the fancy code, simplify the tax code and create two rates. a top rate of 25%, and a bottom rate of 10% and that way people can fill out taxes on a post card, mail it in and like you said, april 15th can be a much more relaxing day. you know, we spend 6 billion hours as americans to comply with our tax code. 160 billion dollars on accountants and tax attorneys and you know, that money could be better used in our economy. that time could be better spent either with your family or in your business. it shouldn't be to comply with uncle sam's tax code. >> mike: we haven't had real tax reform since 1986. i'm just curious, how likely are we to see something of significance in reforming the tax code? >> great question. i think it's likely in spite

of the president. in other words, governor huckabee, if you look at the president's budget, he proposes a trillion dollars in new taxes, that even his own party is not willing to embrace. in fact, as you know, the last four years not a single one of his budgets has passed, hasn't gotten a single vote. he's completely off the reservation, not just with republicans, but with democrats in his own party and they're not willing to go along with huge increases on business tax and increases on individual tax, but there does seem to be agreement, i will tell you, between republicans and democrats in the house and there seems to be promising signs with max baucus, the chairman of the complete and we've been having a bipartisan and by camera in between the house and senate hearings on tax reform for two years and our working groups are looking at the frame work for tax reform, putting out

the rough draft. i think there's a real chance that we could do tax reform because it doesn't cost money. we can do it revenue neutral. in other words, you know, we don't have to -- it's basically, according to the congressional budget office, we can make it revenue neutral by getting rid of the loopholes and deductions and still getting the top rates down to 25%. and republicans, democrats, seem to agree on that, unfortunately, the president, unlike 1986 to your point, with ronald reagan as the president, and he really was the one that championed tax reform and we don't have a ronald reagan in the white house as you know, we don't have a guy in the white house that understands what it will mean even though the congressional budget office says if we do tax reform and get down to 25 and 10% rates we'll create a million new jobs in the first year and talk about a no cost stimulus bill. >> mike: yeah, congressman, if you get that done, you will be america's hero without question. and thanks for joining us tonight. delighted to have you here.

hope to see you soon. >> thanks, governor. >> mike: still ahead, joe manchin and joe biden make the quotes of the week. that's later in the show. and up next, a comedy icon who has made generations of americans laugh and will be sharing hilarious behind the scenes story as well as her fight to save her story first from drugs and then from cancer. the one and only carol burnett is next. [ male announcer ] at his current pace, bob will retire when he's 153,

which would be fine if bob were a vampire. but he's not. ♪ he's an architect with two kids and a mortgage. luckily, he found someone who gave him a fresh perspective on his portfolio. and with some planning and effort, hopefully bob can retire at a more appropriate age. it's not rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade.

it would provide. i'm harris faulkner, and now back to a live huckabee. >> mike: after the show tonight, stay tuned for a fox news reporting special, "your secret's out." is the government spying on you? how the collection of data on threatens your liberty and privacy. and john robert hosts "your secret's out" 30 minutes from now. my next guest is a comedian who has won on broadway and silver screen. and she's best known for one

of the funniest shows in television history "t"the carol burnett show." >> ahhh! >> from hollywood, it's "the carol burnett show." >> it man for 11 years airing over 270 episodes, winning 25 prime time emmy awards and being named by time magazine as one of the top 100 tv shows of all time. >> oh! >> carol burnett brought to us so many memorable characters, like her commercial of scarlet o'hara. >> and i saw it in the window and can't resist it. >> and the ditsy secretary mrs. wiggins. >> if i told you to jump out the window, would you do that? >> no. >> that's too bad, i had some hope for that one. >> and of course, eunice.

>> surprise, surprise. >> carol burnett performed along some of the best in the biz. >> the part of the show i like the best is the end. ♪ abc, 123 >> the gift that carol burnett gave to the world was laughter and joy. >> good night. >> well, she's also a best selling author. she's written a new book and it's wonderful, it's about a relationship with her oldest daughter carrie, carrie lost her battle with cancer over a decade ago. the book is called "carrie and me, a mother-daughter love story." i had the wonderful pleasure of welcoming carol burnett in the new york studio recently and we kick things off talking about how comedy has changed since her show. >> you know, today it's so

easy to be -- to get a laugh by being vulgar and you know, scatological humor, sex, all of that. i find that just -- it seems to me like a bunch of teenage guys got into a locker room and they're writing a sitcom. i'm not a prude, really. you know, i get it and somebody wants to do it, but it's got to be clever. >> mike: yeah. >> as oppose today just base. >> mike: one of your favorite characters, according to what you said is eunice. why? why did you love eunice so much? >> well, she was pitiful. (laughter) >> she was always striving for something better, but then, you know, her mother would sit on her, it wouldn't work. and one time, i loved the writing, because there were no jokes in those sketches. one time we had -- rehearsing one of the eunice and mama sketches and one of us, i can't remember, harvey or

vicky, or i said, let's just, in rehearsal, let's just do it straight, without the accents and without trying to be broad. it was heavy. there wasn't one laugh. >> mike: oh. >> because we were very serious with it. and then, we added those accents and talked like this and just got funny. >> mike: well, some of the funniest moments i think in the entire series with tim conway, you or vicky would get harvey korman, he couldn't finish the scene and laughing with the audience. >> harvey was upset with himself because he was a serious comedic actor. (laughter) it got to be when there was a tim-harvey sketch. all tim would have to do at the beginning was to look at

harvey and go-- and harvey would be gone. and-- give him a look and he would be gone. >> mike: the remarkable thing about this incredible career that you had in the 11 years of the carol burnett show, you were also raising a family, you had three daughters. i can't imagine balancing, between with growing, you know, children and --. >> well, we had our show on a school schedule. and the only time i worked in the evening was on friday night when we had our tape night, but then the girls would come and watch the dress he rehearsal. so, it really worked out beautifully. >> your holdest daughter carrie. >> yeah. >> mike: a great story in the book about, you were helping to learn-- or helping to teach her not to tell fibs. you've got to hear that. >> well, she was about five or six years old and we had caught her in a fib, not a big one at five or six years old.

but she went upstairs, we have to have dinner and go up to your room and get into bed, you know, and so i went in to tuck her in and she was crying. and i said, look, sweetheart, we love you very much, your dad and i love you very much, but we doesn't like what you did. now? we don't -- you were -- but we will always -- you can always come to us and tell us the truth and oh you'll going on like i should get a medal for mother of the year, right? and she is staring at me very hard. and hardly blinked. and i thought, well, i'm really getting through to her and i said and no matter what, darling we will always love you and tell the truth. and could i hear violins, you know. and i said, oh, i'm just so good and she's staring, staring, and i said, sweetheart, do you have anything you want to say or ask? she said mommy. >> what? >> how many teeth do you have?

(laughter) >> you were really getting through, weren't you? >> yeah, and trying to cou

>> a great story with carrie, when she was a teenager. >> we all did, the family. she got into drugs when she was 14. i couldn't believe it at first

because she'd always been a "a" student and popular and once she was 12, 13, 14 years old and grew up fast, and she thought she was ugly and had no self-esteem whatsoever and so she became the best drug addict in school. but it took us a while to catch on. her grades started slipping and then, but we were so naive, i was afraid of her. i was afraid that if i made her mad, it would get worse, now? and so finally we tried a bunch of stuff and we sent her to a couple of rehabs, that didn't work. and so she was about 16 or 17 when finally, the penny dropped and i realized, i'm the not going to be her best friend and make her love me because she didn't love me anyway, you know, the disease in her, the demon in her hated

me. >> mike: she was mad at you. >> oh, yeah, so what happened, i decided i'm going to love her enough to let her hate me. and i-- >> repeat that again, carol. that's a powerful statement that a lot of parents need to hear. >> (applause) >> you have to love them enough, to, you know, not try to be their best friend or make nice and hope that they'll get sober. let her hate me and what i did, she was 17 and so i still had control until she was going to have her 18th birthday and i tricked her into going to another rehab and she was furious with me, called me every name in the book and tried to escape and run away, but she stayed there and because she was 17 and there was this young therapist who worked with teenage addih, and he was terrific.

and he at one point after carrie got sober and everything, she told me, you know what really tripped it for me? first of all, you don't get sober for yourself, not for anybody else, not for your parents or siblings, you have to want it. the first two rehabs she didn't want it. she was like forced in. but this time he said, so in the therapy session, she said well, i want to be like janice joplin, right? and he said, carrie she's dead. and she said, i went like that, she said, my god, you know? i want to be alive, i want to sing, i want to do my music, i want to -- and she he really started getting into the therapy part and we went to family week and everything and she was wonderful and crying, we hugged and all of that, and she came out sober and stayed sober. and then did a whole new thing in her life, you know, going

into writing and performing and directing, and all kinds of stuff. >> mike: carrie got over the drugs and started having a terrific career, acting, singing, loved music. >> yes. >> mike: in 2001 a wonderful trip i guess as i recall it reading the book called the heritage trip, took her to arkansas where her grandmother was born. we're cousins. >> we might be. >> mike: if we have relatives in arkansas we're cousins. after that wonderful trip and things had got ten so great between you, carrie was diagnosed with lung cancer. >> yeah. >> mike: and that had to be devastated. >> it was. she kind of denied it a long time. she was living in a little town in colorado, gunson,

colorado and they misdiagnosed her. she'd say she was sick and i wanted her to come to california and see doctors there, and she didn't until it kind of got worse and then she got on a plane and she came and we discovered that's what it was. but she was a fighter. and one of the things that she -- she was also very optimistic. when she was sick, she drew the tumor on a little picture and she put it up in her -- but being, getting smaller and smaller and smaller and she named it like after a japanese cartoon character and she named her-- the chemotherapy chemo, that's my friend. chemotherapy is my friend and it's going to kill yucky chucky she called the tumor and she was rallying for a

while and last time she was in the hospital, the nurse came up to me in the hall and she said, your daughter cheers me up. >> and i says, well, that's carrie and she said, you know, i asked her, how come you're so cheerful all the time, carrie? and her response was, well, every day i wake up i decide, and that's the key word, mike, i decide every day i wake up and decide, today i'm going to love my life and that was her m-o. that's the way she was. >> i think the whole country is crying right now. way too young for her to pass away. >> 38. >> mike: 38 years old. when she died i didn't think i could -- i didn't want to live, really. i stayed in bed with the covers over my head, but we had been writing a play together and hadn't finished it and my husband said, carol,

you've got to finish this, because the play was going to open in chicago in april and she died in january. and he said you've got to get up and finish this for her sake. and so that kind of saved my life. and you never get over it. because it's just not the way things should be. >> mike: right. >> you know, you shouldn't bury a child. >> mike: no. >> but you can cope. you can live through it and cope and so she's in my heart, on my right shoulder all the time so i feel -- and i wanted to write this as an homage to a daughter i loved very much. >> mike: it is a beautiful, beautiful tribute to her and i tell you, i think when people read it they'll have another insight into that wonderful carol burnett we've loved and appreciated it. the book is "carrie and me, a mother-daughter love story" carol wonderful to have you here god bless you.

>> thank you (applause). carol burnett. you know, sometimes doing this show you have some special moments and that was one of them, getting to visit with carol burnett. president obama's immigration he reform lays out, well, an amnesty plan for illegals in the u.s., but the talk of amnesty led to an increase of border crossing from mexico. texas ranch owner linda vickers has a front row seat to the action. and this is how

>> each weekday hear the huckabee report and details of my show on huckabee.com. >> well, one of our favorite parts of the show is when we

take a look at some of the, as i call them, the notable quoteables. this week texas ranch owner, her name is linda vickers. she's had a front seat to the action of immigration. here is how she remembered a recent incident, and i quote. the border patrol agency was loading one man up and he told the officer in spanish, obama is going to let me go. meanwhile, this morning on fox news sunday, florida senator marco rubio spoke about his plan for reform. >> this is not forever. this is a renewable thing and then they don't qualify for any federal benefits, no food stamps, no well fair, no obamacare and they'll have to support themselves or never become a public charge. these are things they have to do to keep that status and the only thing that happens they will have to stay in that status until at least ten years elapses and the triggers are met, all that has to happen and then the only thing they get is a chance to apply

for a green card via the legal immigration system. we do not award anything to anyone. >> one thing is for certain, now that we're saying we're going to reform immigration, we better do it in a hurry because otherwise people are going to be fleeing across the border, hoping to get in on either what they perceive to be an amnesty policy or to get in before the border actually tightens up. any immigration policy, any sensible immigration policy has to start with the notion that you secure the borders. and that you have control of them. one thing i hope people can do. because it's an emotional issue is remember when you get on your knees tonight to pray, thank god you're in a country that at least people are trying to break into instead of one they're trying to break t of. that's something we could all keep in mind, still good to be an american. abortion dr. kermit gosnell faces the death penalty for the gruesome killings of seven babies after they were born alive and one woman died from
