marking 150 years since gettysburg, a turning point tomorrow. fox in gettysburg reporting on historic events. don't miss it. have a great week, everybody. go. tonight on huckabee, edward go. snowden is charged with espionage and called a traitor tonight on huckabee. edward snowden has been charged with espionage and called a traitor. >> i am not scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker. >> why is the rest of the world defying the leader of the free world? >> our enemies have absolutely no respect for us. and the senate passes immigration reform. >> 40,000 border patrol agents, $4 billion of technology backing them up. 700 miles of fence completed. >> ice agents are not satisfied. their union leader explains why.

plus the president wages war on coal. >> today i'm calling for end to public financing for new coal plants. >> coal workers are fighting back. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. great audience here in new york. thanks so much for coming. welcome to huckabee from fox news studios in new york city. well, the extreme court has done it again. this week they decided the voters of california, nor god all mighty himself -- the effect was to ignore a substantial majority of voters in california who twice affirmed the biblical

historical, natural law definition of marriage of one man, one woman. now, even if you think people of the same gender should marry, i'd like to think you might feel such a major cultural shift ought to be in the hands of the people that are supposed to hold ultimate authority under our government. even in the decision on defense of marriage or doma, legislation was passed overwhelmingly by both houses of congress, in a bipartisan vote, and it was signed by a democrat, president bill clinton. no matter that some people that voted for it say they have evolved and that they are now against it, but if that's so, put it back before the world's greatest deliberative body and the people's house and see how it flies. same-sex marriage is newer than google and the ipod, and the first nation to even codify it into law didn't do so until the year 2000. i am told i need to get on the right side of history and support the marriage of two people of the same gender.

well, i respectfully believe that i am on the right side of history because the history is pretty long on marriage between a man and a woman, not so much for other versions. despite frothing of advocates to the contrary, i am neither a homophobe nor a hater. i am simple enough to believe marriage of one man and one woman not only is the only biological combination capable of creating the next generation, but in the context of a monogamous, committed relationship it is the best context for children to learn how to replace their parents. if we're determined to change the definition of marriage to accommodate how people feel and what they wish to do because of their mutual consent, then we should immediately release those incarcerated for practicing polygamy or bigamy. and frankly, make all consensual adult behaviors legal, whether prostitution, assisted suicide, or drinking 16 ounce sodas in

new york city. [ applause ] as much as i love to be loved and admired by all, i can't defy the definition of marriage any more than i can defy the law of gravity. god created both. at the point i decided to follow him in my christian commitment, my life nor its rules belong to me any more. as for the argument it is a matter of equality, let me gently point out the issue is not equality but sameness. it would guarantee a right to vote, rent or buy a house, go to school, receive medical care. quality of worth doesn't create sameness. there are differences between men and women and votes of congress nor the extreme court can change that. after 39 years of marriage i won't pretend that i understand women, but i do know there's a difference. court said in 1857 that black people weren't fully human the

court was wrong. they said in 1962 we couldn't pray in school, and the court was wrong. in 1973, they said unborn children were disposable, expendable, and 56 million dead children later they were wrong, and this week for those of us to believe god created male and female and who believe jesus said a man shall leave his father and mother, a woman shall leave her home, the two become one flesh, well, to us the court was wrong yet again. [ applause [ applause ] joining me, elly mistle, and kara. good to have you both back. kelly, let me start with you. your reaction to supreme court decisions this week may be different than mine.

>> a little bit. as a person in a traditional straight marriage, after doma decision, i lost nothing. nothing was taken from me, nothing taken from my marriage. i gained seeing my gay and lesbian friends experience what i experienced, i feel is beautiful and unifying. i can't speak intelligently about many things. i cab speak somewhat intelligently about the law. the law says people are entitled not to sameness but equal protection. marriage is really an issue about protecting a unit from practical things like unfair taxation, adoption rights, and practical things of that nature. i think what the court said, somewhat convolutedly in that doma decision, people are entitled to equal protection of their unity, regardless whether that is between -- >> but in order to do that, one must have a legal definition of marriage that substantially changes the historical

definition. >> that's right. >> so tara, let me let you react to that. your thoughts as you heard about the court's decisions on both prop 8 and defense of marriage act. >> i think the court complicated the issue, and i am with you, governor, 100% of the way. this isn't equal protection under the law, you can do it with civil unions. you don't have to redefine what thousands of years of tradition defined as marriage is between a man and woman, the sanctity of marriage should be preserved in that respect. we could have argument about where the government comes in, telling you who you can and can't marry, that's an intellectual argument to have. i don't think it is necessary to redefine marriage to get something that they want, which is tax benefits or, you know, access to visitation. i don't think anybody has any problem with loving who you want to love, if you want to have

certain contractual equal protection, we can have that. redefining marriage is i think unnecessary and not a good thing for this country. where do you draw the line? >> the president has been under fire for a number of scandals since he started his second term. no longer is he immune from late night comics. jay leno on "the tonight show" commented a little this week. >> in the middle of the scandals, president obama got good news. the irs ruled he can write off the first half of the second term as a total loss. not a problem. write it off. >> all right. it is not just the late night comedians cracking jokes. earlier this week, russian president vladimir putin compared dealing with obama's administration request for return of nsa whistleblower edward snowden to sheering a squealing pig. that can't be good.

the question is obviously are we at a point now where we're not getting the respect that we once got? i thought it was going to be so much better when president obama came, that's what he promised, that he was going to usher in a new level of world cooperation. tara, are we seeing that new era of world respect and cooperation? >> let's think about this. so putin spits in our face. that's not working. president obama went and bowed to our enemies and apologized for america, one of the first things he did as an apology tour when he got elected the first term. let's see how that turned out in the middle east. we have a dead ambassador in libya, his libya policy didn't work. he set artificial red lines in syria, i don't think we should go there, he talked tough, said if syria does this, we're going to do -- what are we doing there? it has been a failure. afghanistan is a mess. iraq is a mess. what foreign policy wins has

this president had? none. and i don't want to hear the bin laden thing. that was foundation that was laid under bush and obama made the decision as commander in chief, the obvious one, if he is there, go get him. >> why not talk about the osama bin laden thing? i think obama has proved if he wants to find you, he is going to find you. if he needs to find you, he will find you. he has shown that. it is snowden, we don't need batman. if edward snowden needs to be caught, he will be gotten. i am pretty sure he has proven that. >> he minimized that. we have john kerry, secretary of state saying what snowden did, he is a traitor, could cost people their lives, only ten people in the history of the act have been charged under that. they sake it seriously there. then you have obama being very, you know, arrogant saying i'm

not going to send jets to get a 29-year-old hacker. you got to be kidding me? which is it? >> should invade russian air space to get a 29-year-old hacker? probably shouldn't do that. probably shouldn't start world war three. >> tara, hold on a second. let me get to elie. hold it. got to get to el i.e., be fair here. >> do you think he is handling the snowden thing, alan dershowitz was on the show saying if they were smart, they wouldn't charge him with espionage, just simple theft, then it wouldn't be extradition issue. charging it with espionage escalate td to a political issue. i wonder can the president have it both ways, most dangerous thing that happened? it is some flake hacker there. >> i think dershowitz is right. there's difficulty with the snowden thing because on the one hand there are a lot of people, progressives and conservatives on both sides of the aisle that don't think what snowden did was

all that wrong. on the other hand, he clearly violated u.s. law. so i think it is a very difficult thing to figure out what he should be charged with, how he should be brought to justice. what i don't think is reasonable, it shows obama is a failure because he won't invade russian air space to get a kid. i think what we need is cooler heads, figure out what we actually want to do with this guy, and once we figure that out, i'm sure we will be able to achieve it. >> all right. that's where we have to leave it for now. we will come back with both of you in a moment. we know the president is a great campaigner, looks like he is a good illusionist, too. he is telling us the economy is recovering, the numbers show otherwise. we will have elie and tara comment next. i would like to hear from you, go to my website, mikehuckabee.com. tell me what you think on lead feedba -- leave feedback section.

(applause) >> well, the president keeps

talking about a recoverying economy and a the president keeps talking about a recovering economy. according to a new poll released by bankrate.com, three-quarters of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. don't have enough savings for six months of expenses. the same survey says more than 27% have no savings at all. the president says we have to work on climate change that most people believe will cost a lot of american jobs. is this the right time to be costing americans' jobs? >> focusing on climate change is the question. >> good question, sure. >> focusing on climate change is important and will be expensive. you know what's more expensive, retrofitting everybody with gills in 100 years to breathe underwater. at some point, climate change will be amazingly expensive. i think we have to address it at some point. in terms of economic figures, americans living paycheck to paycheck, that's sad.

i don't think that's a liberal conservative thing, that's americans are financially illiterate thing. we need to encourage americans to save more and spend less. that has nothing to do with liberals and conservatives. has to do with basic financial literacy of the country. >> tara, saying lead by example. talking about government spending? >> of course. how dare you lecture us, okay, about saving and being prudent with our finances when this president, this government, republicans, too, under bush, but this president has been unbelievable spending everybody else's money. we are $17 trillion in debt. and we have a president on $100 million vacation basically in africa. and you're asking the american people to tighten their belts and save? no. how about we have the government do their job, which is back off small businesses, stop taxing people to death. stop trying to create environment of jealousy when people are successful, which is

what the american dream is about, and punishing them for it, having people be jealous of neighbors if they do so, that's what this president is doing. this is not the shining example on the hill that president reagan brought to us. this is our optimism. this president constantly puts the country down. >> you can put money in the bank, like that's something we could do, too. i understand -- >> how about they stop spending on food stamps. >> i understand it is fashionable and fun to blame the government for all our ills. you talk about americans living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck, not saving, that's long term structural problem, more than blame obama problem, right? >> but government policies allowed people to be irresponsible, they bail people out that don't pay their mortgages, but people that pay their mortgages don't get those

breaks. it is an environment, entitlement type of mentality that progressives brought into the country that allow people to be irresponsible and make those decisions with no consequence. >> i agree with you on this point, elie, i don't think it is democratic or republican problem. republicans have spent ridiculously in the past, can't say they have completely clean hands. as consumers, you make a good point, there's a sense at which consumers don't think of long term consequences of their lives. i think the government shouldn't create policies that make it harder for them to succeed. i can't help but believe that's what this president is doing. i appreciate you being here and tara being here, always fun. hope to have you back again soon. [ applause ] coming up, we're going to west virginia. we'll ask a father and son involved in the mining industry how do they feel about the president's new attack on coal. we will be right back. even in stupid loud places. to prove it, we set up our call center right here...

>> president obama was campaigning for reelection, he president obama was campaigning for re-election, he was a fan of the coal industry. >> here's what i've done since i've been president. we have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years. natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades. we have seen increases in coal production and coal employment. >> well, here is what the president had to say when he announced his plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change earlier this week. >> today i'm calling for an end of public financing for new coal plants overseas, unless they deploy carbon capture technologies or there's no other viable way for the poorest countries to generate

electricity. and i urge other countries to join this effort. and i'm directing my administration to launch negotiations towards global free trade in environmental goods and services, including clean energy technology to help more countries skip past the dirty phase of development and join a global low carbon economy. they don't have to repeat all of the same mistakes we made. >> joining me from west virginia, josh nelson that works for a mine repair company, also a member of the statehouse of delegates. also, his father mark, member of united mine workers union who recently went back to work as a bulldozer operator after a long layoff. good to have you both here. mark, let me start with you. it was about a year ago when you were on the show and you had been laid off from your job at the coal mine. you've heard the president's comments this week about the coal industry. what kind of comments are you hearing in your community there

in west virginia? >> well, governor, we're looking at the way things are now, you know, for me, example, i go to work, at night come up to the guard shack, i wonder am i going to get through, just a couple weeks ago, 160 men drove up to the same guard shack and were turned around and laid off. >> and josh, let me ask you about the coal mining industry. you are also a member of the house of delegates in west virginia. this has the potential for a huge economic impact on your state. describe what could happen if the president's words this week become the policy of america. >> well, governor, a large majority of the tax revenue in state of west virginia comes from the coal industry. you know, central services and repairs we need to make as a state are going to go down. we don't know how we're going to make those repairs. the economy of west virginia was built around coal and west virginia has powered the entire united states of america for a very long time, so we're not

real sure what we are going to do at this point. hopefully bring in new jobs, but if they put new restrictions on burning coal, has the after effects of laying off many. if people are not burning coal, we can't sell coal, can't mine coal, people at home don't know how they're going to feed their families. >> the president said this is a global initiative, not just the united states, he is going to request, negotiate, push for this to happen all over the world. does that give you some comfort in west virginia that everybody is going to just voluntarily jump up and quit using coal? >> absolutely not. i mean, other countries are driving forward and fighting to become new superpowers, they're going to do what is economically successful to drive their countries forward, and i don't think that we here as americans should be so much worried about what's going on overseas, we should be more worried about people like my two cousins laid

off last week that just want to go back to work. that's the story across all of america, it is not just the coal industry, all industries, we just want to go back to work. >> mark, talking about going back to work, a lot of folks in west virginia had a struggle because of the attacks on coal industry and i am seeing things like your democratic senator joe manchin, former governor there, saying the president declared war on his state, west virginia. i'm wondering, what are you hearing from democrats of west virginia about the president's policies? are others ready to sort of say look, we're done with president obama, even though we are democrats? this would ruin our state. >> i think a lot of people have seen what the president is doing is destroying jobs, not creating jobs, putting more restrictions on the coal industry. it is just the president is supposed to create jobs, not just supposed to destroy jobs, what i am seeing, that's all he accomplished.

>> mark, josh, i want to thank both of you being back with us. a pleasure to visit with you. i know how hard people work in your industry and how important it has been to giving america the opportunity to have affordable energy. i would hate to think this country is going to make it more difficult for people to heat and cool their homes, to be able to operate a business, which without coal unless we have some alternative that i am not familiar with ready to go, it is going to have a big impact. thank you both for being here today. [ applause ] >> thanks, governor. talk to you again. for the agents whose job it is to enforce immigration laws say the senate bill doesn't go far enough. the president of the union of the people who work inside our borders, the i.c.e. agents, will be here to tell us why this is not quite where we need to be. that's next. we went out and asked people a simple question:

(applause) huckabee. >> on thursday, the senate

passed on thursday, the senate passed immigration reform that sets a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants here illegally and calls for billions of dollars and more agents to help secure the border with mexico. but the bill may not make it all the way through the house. >> the house is not going to take up and vote on whatever the senate passes. we're going to do our own bill. immigration reform has to be grounded in real border security. >> joining me, president of national immigration and customs enforcement council, chris crane. back with us. thanks for being with us again. [ applause ] >> thank you for having me on, governor. >> all right. this week the senate passed overwhelmingly the gang of eight immigration bill that had the amendment that supposedly added border security. your union not quite ready to say this is a great idea. why not? >> well, there's so many

reasons, governor. i hope they're going to come out in the weeks and months to come because the american public needs to know how bad this legislation is. let me give you one example. 40% of the illegal aliens present in the united states, again, that's 40%, almost half our entire immigration problem isn't even addressed by this bill. these are individuals that came here on visas, came to the united states legally. doesn't matter if you have 10,000, 20,000 border patrol agents, they can't stop people that come legally and visas and overstay those visas. this bill completely ignores enforcement of the 40%, almost half the entire illegal immigration problem in the united states now. >> chris, a distinction many don't understand, the difference between border patrol agents that control the border itself and the immigration agents like yourself, the i.c.e. agents, that deal with immigrants once they cross that border. so here's an important question.

we hear a lot about border security is going to be increased. how much increase in this bill is directed toward those of you whose job it is to deal with 40% of illegal immigrants already here and those who might yet come? >> well, we actually have zero new officers and agents. we have zero new resources in this legislation. and like you pointed out, border patrol stands on the line, they stand on the border, try to keep illegal immigration out of the country at the border. everything in between the borders is policed by i.c.e. agents. we currently have 5,000 i.c.e. agents, i.c.e. immigration officers in 50 states, guam, puerto rico, trying to enforce our nation's immigration laws. we're completely overwhelmed. the los angeles police department has 10,000 officers and we only have 5,000, so again, we got zero new officers and resources in this bill. >> zero additional assistance, but a lot of burden will fall on you guys.

did you communicate this to people like senator rubio and others, and if you did, what kind of response did you get? >> well, we did communicate directly with senator rubio, i actually met with him on two separate occasions personally. i met with his staff on multiple other occasions, senator rubio and his staff assured us in writing that there would be amendments to the bill that would provide for interior enforcement. he appeared shocked when we talked to him about the problems we're having out in the field, and with how the small number of officers that we have to do this job. again, they assured us we would have that in this legislation and it never happened. we tried to keep lines of communication open with his office, at some point they stopped communicating with us, and nothing was added to the bill to address these problems. >> have you talked with members of the house and are you more optimistic when it gets there, they will listen to the fact that there's a big issue? i can't believe you only have 5,000 agents for the entire

united states of america. that's a shock. >> it is shocking, governor, and there's so much more to be said about it. we also are responsible for policing approximately 30 million legal aliens in the united states who may commit crimes and be convicted of those crimes that maybe need to be removed from the united states because they violated their status here, but yes, we have been talking on the house side, and it is a day and night difference. folks on the house side are wanting to work with us, they have been working with us. there are two pieces of legislation out there now, one from democrat congressman john barrow in georgia as well as republican congressman trey gowdy, and they address a lot of the concerns we have. they provide more i.c.e. officers for the interior of the united states and also do important things like allow us to assist gang taskforces in local communities and drug taskforces in local communities. let us work more closely with law enforcement, crackdown on sex offenders, fraud and other

aggravated felonies, things that the senate bill don't do. i mean, people don't realize that the senate bill allows a path to citizenship for members of criminal street gangs. it allows a path to citizenship for people who have been convicted of three or more criminal offenses. it is a terrible bill. and i'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, governor, but the border patrol came out in opposition to this bill yesterday. i.c.e. is already in opposition to it. citizenship and immigration services, the organization that screens these visa applications for fraud and terrorist and criminal activities, they're opposed to this. there are hundreds of sheriffs nationwide that have come out in opposition to this, including 80% of sheriffs in north carolina, law enforcement across the nation, it is historic. the law enforcement opposition to this bill. >> chris, always enlightening to

have you. i appreciate again you being here, giving a perspective maybe congress ought to listen to. sadly, your organization had to actually sue the federal government just for the demand to be able to enforce the laws. we will follow up with you on that. thanks again for being here. it is always a pleasure. >> thank you, governor. coming up, paula deen's apology for remarks she made in the past. but what about alec baldwin? i'll talk about that next.

each weekday list to mikehuckabee.com. after the supreme court ruled in the defense of marriage act and california's prop eight after the stream court ruled the defense of marriage act of prop 8 which affirms traditional marriage were unconstitutional, the president released a statement to the american people reassuring them the ruling is not an attack on religious freedom, and the statement read, and i quote, on an issue as sensitive as is, knowing americans hold a wide range of advice based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation's commitment to religious freedom is also vital. how religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. nothing about this decision which applies only to civil marriages changes that. i wish i could believe that, mr. president, but the fact is there are already lawsuits now directed towards photographers and caterers, to a number of

people who because of religious convictions will not participate in same-sex marriage. there are already churches who have decided they can't host a same sex wedding. and if your record on this will be similar to that of the obama care issue where you've said that religious businesses and religious people and institutions, including religious hospitals have to provide for contraceptives and forms of abortion because that's the law, then i'm afraid it is a little tough to believe you're really going to leave churches alone and let them continue to practice their faith as they believe it and as they accept it. well, a vote on a texas bill that would force abortion clinics to have clinical facilities and ban abortions past 20 weeks was delayed. that's after texas democratic state senator wendy davis, cheered on by supporters at the capit capitol, filibustered 13 hours.

rick perry called them back july 1st for another special session. the president sent out a tweet in support of davis during her filibuster. he said this. something special is happening in austin tonight. #standwithwendy. mr. president, i don't know if you realize what was in that bill. a friend of mine, dan patrick, state senator in texas, was the sponsor. and one of the elements of the bill was it required if a person was going to have an abortion, it made sure that the woman in that abortion clinic knew that she was going to a clinic that had the same kind of medical care and capacity as would be any other surgical center in the state. in other words, because abortion is a surgical procedure, wouldn't it be in the interest of women's health to make sure that if something went wrong there was at least some type of basic fundamental equipment to take care of that mother? is abortion so important that we don't care about the mother?

and by the way, to protect a baby from feeling pain, i can't imagine any of us would be against that. we live in a world where we try so hard to alleviate all our pain, and then to be willing to inflict it upon an unborn child? i'm sorry, i'm not going to congratulate anyone who thinks that's okay. [ applause ] an irs official is under investigation for a suspicious veteran's disability claim. the so-called injury obtained in military prep school. try explaining that to tammy duckworth, democratic congresswoman from illinois who lost both legs and use of her arm serving in iraq. >> shame on you. you may not have broken any laws, we're not sure yet. you did misrepresent to sba, but you certainly broke the trust of this great nation. you broke the trust of veterans. iraq and afghanistan veterans right now are waiting an average of 237 days for an initial

disability rating, and it is because people like you who are gaming the system are adding to that backlog so that young men and women suffering from post traumatic stress, missing limbs, cannot get the compensation and help they need. >> all i can say to congresswoman tammy duckworth, amen and amen. thank you for shredding this guy who would take advantage of benefits that should be going to deserving veterans, and my heart felt thanks to the congresswoman for an excellent presentation. several of paula deen's business partners dropped her since she admitted to using racial language over 20 years ago. she appeared on the "today" show with matt lauer. >> i've had wonderful support. i tell you what, if there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wish
