5:01 pm
center stage. ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. (applause) >> thank you. thank you very much. great audnc >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. thank you. welcome to huckabee from fox news studios here in new york city. i want to make something clear. i don't hate liberals. i don't hate anybody. i actually like some liberals, enjoy talking to some of them that are rational, reasonable. it is just that not a lot of liberals make sense to me. i am trying to understand them. i just don't. just this week, liberals in the house of representatives once again threw a hissy fit over a bill that would have prohibited most abortions after the fifth month, because science is pretty clear that babies feel pain.
5:02 pm
and surely must be painful to have one's arms and legs ripped from the body as happens in an abortion. the party that screams we ought to follow the science says when it comes to abortion, science doesn't matter. polls show that 80% of americans oppose late term abortions, including 63% of women. liberals are against pain for animals and whales, dolphins, even walk around naked to protest wearing of fur. they're against torture when it comes to terrorists, against the death penalty for criminals who rape and murder, even when the decision to execute a criminal is the result of years of legal maneuvering and careful consideration of evidence and guilt determined by a jury. but they demand the right of carrying out the death penalty on an unborn child at any time for any reason. they even insist that it is called women's health. can't be too healthy for the baby. if it is a little girl baby, i would think that would be bad
5:03 pm
for that little woman's health. liberals say they don't want the government in the bedrooms. let me assure you, i don't want to get in a liberal's bedroom, but if something happens in that bedroom that they didn't plan, then they want the government to come in, clean up the mess, and make rest of us pay for it. now, liberals say a six-year-old girl is grown up enough to buy the morning after pill, without a doctor or her parents knowing about it. but when she's 26 years old, she's still child enough to need her parents to cover her health insurance. liberals think nobody ought to come between a woman and their doctor, even if the woman wants to end her baby's life. they think it is a great idea to pass obama care, have the entire federal government get between men, women, and children and their doctor. liberals believe a 14-year-old ought to be able to get birth control pills but not a 16 ounce soda or access to a salt shaker.
5:04 pm
liberals at planned parenthood in indiana say that a 13-year-old girl raped by a 17-year-old neighbor and who got pregnant from the rape and refused an abortion wouldn't have been raped if there was comprehensive sex education. now, if a conservative ever said something as stupid as blaming the inability of a 95 pound child to fend off a rapist because she didn't have enough sex education classes, he would be booed out of time for being an idiot. a liberal says it, it is supposed to be smart. i try to be nice to those i don't agree with. i figure that great psychologist ron white has it diagnosed pretty accurately. >> you can't fix stupid. >> and granted, some liberals really believe their stuff and maybe they're consistent about it, even can defend it. but not many. and on a lot of issues, just
5:05 pm
don't make sense. [ applause ] my first guest spent over a dozen years in washington as a senator from pennsylvania, he campaigned across the country as a presidential candidate in 2012. now rick santorum has a new job as ceo of echo light pictures, a christian film company. happy to have rick santorum here. rick, does that mean you're not going to run again? >> no, it doesn't mean that at all. it means that i'm going to be engaged in something that i, just like you are, mike, i think you realized politics is a very important avenue. i am still involved in it as you are. i know you travel around the country, you give speeches, you have your radio show, your tv show, you're engaged and involved on the frontlines of the fight. i have my organization patriot voices and i do the speaking circuit and campaign for candidates. we're going to continue to do all of that. but i think you realize, too, the culture is very, very
5:06 pm
important. i think it was one of the great philosophers that said give me the story tellers, i'll control the country within a generation. and you know well that the story tellers for this country have not been story tellers sharing the values that you and i support. they share the values that you were haranguing the first few minutes of the show, and point out the i will legitimacy of them. we need people that will be perveyors of good, positive content. that's the reason we decided to take a step that direction. >> so it is not that this position takes you off the stage politically and does not eliminate the possibility that you would still look at 2016? >> well, frankly, any more than the same would be for you, mike. i think being out there during the interim between campaigns to try to add to the value of our country, both from the standpoint of putting forth good
5:07 pm
ideas and lifting up people. in your case, you do it by create positive content on television and the radio. we look at it from the standpoint of creating great, positive content in film. that's an area that i think conservatives have been really woefully negligent, going out and producing the kind of video content, dramatic content that's really important in shaping, you know, the hearts and minds of americans, and particularly young americans. >> you spent 12 years in the senate. the senate right now is debating a significant immigration bill. i am sure you looked at it. would you vote for it in the senate today? >> no, i would not. i sort of take the common sense approach that people that come to this country as my father did, as an immigrant, and my grandfather did as immigrant to this country should not be treated the same as people who came here and broke the law, and
5:08 pm
really what this bill does is really put them on sort of equal footing. i just think that's not right. what we need to do is focus on what makes america work. we're the party that stands by the rule of law. we're the party that says that we need to have, you know, a strong economy, have laws in place to make sure that our economy is growing to create opportunities, that we need to be the party that talks about strong families, strong communities, and reach out to all ethnic groups and embrace what the great vision of our country is, instead of playing off what the democrats are doing, being a little less bad than they are in some of their programs. i think that's a mistake. we need to stay true to our values, i think our values are ones that made our country as great as it is today. >> you made the point that the republicans' big problem is not so much that they didn't vote for an immigration package or that they're not connecting with hispanic voters, what do the
5:09 pm
republicans need to do differently and i think you and i share some of the views, but i want you to articulate, where is it we are missing it? >> mike, you have been a great leader on this, i have to admit. i did an op-ed, look it up on usa today, just published today, how we need to go out, talk to voters that don't think we care much about them, and they think we don't think we care about them because we don't talk about the problems that they have. our party tends to focus on the superachieve superachievers, the focus is always on these people and how they impact the economy, and it is important. these are very important people on our economy, very important people to our country, but there's also a whole lot of people who work for those folks that make this country a great country, too, not just because
5:10 pm
of the work they do at the company, but work they do in their families, in their communities, in their churches. we don't tend to value that work. don't tend to talk about the ways in which we can help them improve not just the quality of their job but the quality of their community and their families, and we need to have not just rhetoric that connects with how most americans live their lives, which is not just at work, but how most americans understand that this culture, our communities, our churches are all fracturing. things are changing, and it is not just the economy that's changing but our country. unless we're out there talking to the average guy in america and the concerns he has and have ideas that meet them where they are, we're going to be a party getting narrower and narrower. >> i'm going to ask senator santorum to weigh in on the irs targeting conservatives and other issues when we return. stay with us. we will be right back. i would like to hear from

5:14 pm
>> we are back with rick we are back with rick santorum. we found out the irs is targeting conservative groups. you started patriot voices. you didn't seek tax exempt status for it. is this why? >> actually the lawyer behind this breaking scandal was a woman named cleta mitchell, lawyer for patriot voices. when we set up our 501(c)4, we went there, said we need to set up the papers and c 4, she said you don't want to do this, the irs is targeting these groups, they're going to run you through the ringer. her advice to us was take a step
5:15 pm
back, let this thing clear out a bit, maybe they'll change their tune, not put you through the ringer because of your political -- you're a high profile political character. it turns out talking to her a few weeks ago, they haven't changed their tune at all. that's the amazing thing about this. the irs is under incredible scrutiny for what they've done and targeting conservative groups, tea party groups. they're continuing to do it. haven't changed a bit. still sending letters, asking people what they're doing, why they're doing it. i talked to cleta, i said we need to eventually file the documents, we have a track record, working on public policy, working on rights of people with disability, defeating that u.n. treaty that would rob parents discretion over disabled children. we have done great work on public policy. we are willing to stand up to whatever scrutiny they have, but it is unconscionable that they're doing it in the first place and continue to arrogantly
5:16 pm
pursue this hostility toward conservative organizations, in light of this scandal. >> it just may be that the best thing is to end all tax exempt status for everybody, make media matters, all leftwing groups, everybody, operate in the free marketplace, say we're going to put that part of the irs out of business. since there won't be anything for those people to do, ones that stirred up the trouble, they have all been summarily dismissed. would that be a solution? >> well, there's all sorts of solutions. one of the things i looked at in the last few scandals, the one that's the most shocking is, you know, what's going on at the irs. the more i look at the irs, it is hopeless. it is hopeless not because of the organization itself, or there's really bad people there, it is hopeless because we have given enormous power to the government over every single person in america. in the irs, you are guilty until proven innocent.
5:17 pm
they have more power than any other agency because there's a presumption of guilt. you give this kind of now increased power because of obama care to regulate people's lives. it is inherently corrupt. you cannot function in a way that's going to at all be in the side of freedom loving people. i think we need to look at what someone suggested, you have to repeal the 16th amendment, get rid of this income tax. that's the source of the problem and do something. >> couldn't agree more. rick, only a minute left. i have to get a quick answer out of you. you voted for the patriot act when it was first up. in light of the nsa scandal, are there some things that have gone beyond what you voted for in terms of the scope of what the government is now looking at on behalf of innocent citizens? >> yeah, i think what's happened is that technology has dramatically improved. now we have the ability to look at -- you hear it, you talk
5:18 pm
about it on the show, big data. this huge amount of data that was all this data, was so much, you couldn't possibly do it. now they have tools they can actually look at big data, that has people concerned. legitimately concerned, particularly if they can look at big data, and drill down and find little data, me, and determine that i'm doing something that i shouldn't be doing. so i think we need to take a step back. i think the big data, analytics is a good thing, can show patterns, help police in a lot of ways, but you've got to make sure it doesn't end up to be a very, very sophisticated way into spying on individuals, so protecting that individual identity becomes very important going forward. >> the good thing, if i lose my iphone, i just call the government, ask them where it is, they'll know. >> they will. >> senator, thanks for being here. great to have you. >> thank you for having me. no obama care, no insurance
5:19 pm
exchanges, no federal database on your personal medical records. just you and your doctor figuring out health care options that are best for you. that's common sense alternatives to obama care. we're going to be talking about them next.

5:22 pm
>> the polls she that polls show obama care increasingly unpopular with americans, the president continues his campaign to try to convince americans that his health care overhaul is right for them. under the plan, starting october of this year, people will have to compare between complicated plans and then choose the one that's right for them. what if you don't have to pick any insurance at all? what if you just paid your doctor directly for the services that he or she provides? does that sound too expensive?
5:23 pm
my next guests say bypassing insurance and the red tape keeps administrators and the bureaucrats out, makes health care more affordable. joining me, three primary care doctors that offer alternatives to obama care. good to have you here today. thanks for joining us. let me start with you. you took what some might consider a radical step. you stopped all kinds of medical insurance in your practice. you now take patients, you tell them what the prices are. it is open and transparent. what motivated you to do that. >> governor, thank you. what's going on now, medicine is evolving in terms of the financing of it. and i did this based on both moral and economic grounds. economically, what's going to
5:24 pm
happen in obama care with accountable care organizations, this is the hmos of the '80s and '90s that we hated, and worse, they'll give hospitals or accountable care organizations money and say take care of medicare patients. if you spend less, you get to keep more money, but if you spend more, the hospital and doctors have to pay to take care of these people. and that's just financially untenable for primary care or any doctor because the margins are so low now. on moral grounds, if you incentivize an organization to take less care of someone, that person will get less care. what we did was we decided to post our prices in the office, online, we don't take medicaid or private insurance. we post the prices, prices are cut in half. we have people come in, they get the service they ask for, they
5:25 pm
pay on the way out like you would the deli or at the mechanic, grocery store, and the transaction is complete. it is a win-win for everyone. >> i love that. i'll take a turkey sandwich and the appendectomy. that will work. one that follows. did you lose patients when you did it? this is a big step, a radical departure from the way most practice medicine. >> it is radical. well, it is kind of ironic, you pay for a service and you get it and you leave. it is kind of scary it is considered radical. we did have several of our medicare patients decide to go elsewhere, medicare won't allow them to be reimbursed for our services which is unfortunate. some with hmos with strict rules were not able to get referrals from me because i am not contracted with them, but what we're seeing is people with no insurance or high deductibles
5:26 pm
are thrilled. i am seeing people now that haven't seen a doctor in years because they couldn't afford it before. >> doctor none maker, you're in kansas, have a similar approach. people pay an annual fee, then access into a network. like concierge medicine, something i predicted five years ago would be the coming thing and it has been. tell us when a person pays the fee monthly or annual, what does that access them to? >> basically we realize when we started the clinic, we realize the health care system is irrepairably broken. had to throw as much value as possible at that membership. what that actually avails them is truly unlimited access to office visits, home visits, work visits, even technology visits, which are cell phone calls, texting, e-mail, skype, twitter. you also get access to wholesale
5:27 pm
medications and lab work, up to 95% discount. >> that's a big discount. that's huge. >> yes. for example, cholesterol tests may be charged 60 to $90, we charge 3 because that's what it costs us. we also do all our procedures for free as well, they're included. if you need an ekg, you don't have to worry if i'm going to make $25 doing it. i'm going to do it if it needs to be done, and it costs me 40 cents and little electrode pads to do it. if i need to put stitches in, we do that for free, did that a couple days ago for a little boy. strep throat testing, urine analysis. part of the system that was
5:28 pm
broken was insurance. and we decided to get out of it, but we realized that insurance is still necessary. so what we have been able to do in kansas, and hopefully on a grander scale, because our model is affordable to the masses by design, we worked with insurance companies locally to write custom designed, high deductible insurance policies that in fact saved one family a thousand dollars a month, with membership of our clinic, and one small company in wichita stood to get back approximately a quarter million dollars the first year utilizing that as a plan. one of the local companies even has seen what we can save them, they will count our membership towards the deductible. now the money is working twice as hard for you. it is just amazing what you can do when you utilize the free market, people say we are radical, mechanics work for
5:29 pm
cash, pharmacists, veterinarians, no reason physicians can't do the same. >> dr. marcy is with us, we will ask her about changes to her medical practice and keep dr. ciampi and nunamaker with us as well. how important is it to keep your medical records between you and your doctor? under obama care, your information goes into a government run computer system. and we all know how secure that is right now. stay with us. we will be right back. w. stay with us, w.

5:34 pm
dr. nunamaker, dr. ciampi, do they have to have double coverage in a situation like that? still have to satisfy the government, too? >> that's an excellent question. dr. like dr. nunamaker and ciampi, i want to congratulate them and their patients for this wonderful opportunity. we have a section in obama care, 1301, it is in the law, patients can apply what they pay to us to the actuarial of their premium. so it will be detectducted. we are waiting for that to be put in the regulations. but it will be there. it is in the law, yes, sir, it is. >> i want to ask each of you, and i'll start with you, the privacy issue. why is it that you would be able
5:35 pm
to keep our records secret but obama care wouldn't? >> because we don't bill insurance. we don't send in those horrific codes that really are about billing codes, they're not about what's clinically going on with the patient, they're about a coding system. they absolutely violate privacy. a patient came to the office with a question how to prevent hypertension. it runs in their family. i would be able to discuss with them at will, it is paid for in the retainer. i would be able to follow up with them in a month to see if they understood what i said, if they had other questions, as opposed to a doctor that works in the system that has to bill a code to get paid. that code would be hypertension. that patient would be plagued with that diagnosis for the rest of their life. i would warn patients in this country that the irs, nsa, horrific what they've done to violate our privacy. the hhs, health and human
5:36 pm
services department, even worse. they have access to every record in this country. every medical record, governor, and every time we contribute to that by actually -- their new system, called meaningful use, a computerized system where doctors put in boxes, check off boxes, yes, i did this, yes, i did that, they get a bonus. they violate their patient's privacy to get a bonus. well, on moral grounds, just as dr. ciampi said, i cannot do that, my patients' records never leave my office. >> only a couple moments. i have to be quick with dr. ciampi and nunamaker. dr. ciampi, are your patients protected in a manner in which you provide medicine so they don't have to give up things, whether it is social security number or details about their health care and medical conditions? >> well, they are now. originally i tried to cooperate with the electronic medical
5:37 pm
record program that was part of the stimulus package. it was an absolute nightmare. i was working for the computer, not for the patient, and when i did this, at the beginning of the year, i scrapped that. everything is back to paper charts. i no longer ask for anyone's social security number. i don't want it. if someone was going to get my patient's records, they have to break into my office to do it at this point. >> and doctor nunamaker, is it that you're seeing patients for longer periods of time and, you know, not asking you to reveal anything about personal income, but you're making house calls. i haven't heard of that since watching marcus welby on tv. are you able to make as much money as you would have if you were in the government kind of controlled health care system? >> well, no, my life-style and income is better. i can provide better patient care, but without the administrative costs and overhead, it is amazing. we actually statistically looked at it, 22% on average of a
5:38 pm
physician's time is overhead, mostly insurance. if you take that 22% out, times all the physicians in the country, you added 165,000 new doctors to the work force. but we consider ourselves marcus welby with an iphone. we enjoy the house calls, and we want to bring back the medicine. i couldn't agree more your privacy is very much not secure. hipaa is a huge barrier, the health insurance afford ability and accountability act has no use in this day and age. when it was written, spice girls were at the top of the charts. it needs to be overhauled. >> i want to thank you all. it has been a fascinating, informative conversation to find out it doesn't have to be one size fits all, let obama care do it. thank you all very, very much
5:39 pm
for being with us today and giving us a lot to think about. >> thank you. >> i hope they're listening in washington. i hope they understand that there are better ways to give health care to american citizens than this incredible big government solution called obama care. let's hope somebody will pay attention. i certainly did. you know, the stars get all of the fame, but they owe that to the harmony of talented singers that back them up. you heard her voice in some of the biggest pop hits of all time. darlene love is with us next! our landing time got moved back another hour.

in. i said i am not doing this. you said before these were going to be my records and they were not my records. i went in and started singing, put my voice on a couple of times. i said this is ridiculous and left the studio, didn't finish doing it, but my voice was already on it. of course he brought la la brooks in, she put her voice on the record i already recorded, and then the record came out under her name, the crystals. when i tried to get work as darlene love, the producers would say well, if you would say you're crystals, we could probably get you more work. a lot of background sessions had just dried up. there weren't any more background sessions. >> the tragedy is here you were laying the big tracks for a lot of the songs and artists, but you're not getting any of the credit, as is the case for so many of the people that made the music we love. >> right. then i had a great career as a background singer, i sang for everybody. the wonderful thing about i tell people how did you feel when you were doing backup behind those

children, and i said i got to find something to do because i am not the type of person to just sit around, say well, i wish work would come, let's have a pity party. i said you know what, i'm going to go clean houses. >> i'm just glad you decided you should be singing rather than cleaning houses. i'm not sure how good a job you did cleaning houses. >> fantastic. >> you're still doing an amazing job making music. we're going to take a break. when we come back, you know we're going to make you sing with the little rockers, of course. >> yes, of course. >> darlene love. in addition to the documentary, darlene's autobiography, called "my name is love." get it in amazon, in bookstores everywhere. coming up, the little rockers will be 20 feet from stardom, we will join darlene for an r&b classic. the kyocera torque lets you hear and be heard
