that's how fox reports on this sunday. thanks for watching. have a great week. i'll see you tomorrow night, same time. for now, huckabee. here's huckabee. >> tonight on tonight -- >> trayvon martin could have been me. 35 years ago. >> why is the president inserting himself in the george zimmerman case again? and -- >> to all of you here politicians get up and talk about having a sign of steal, i actually have one. >> he sued the obama administration over two dozen times. now, he's running for governor of texas. greg abbott on how he continues to fight obama care. plus, he's an '80s teen idol.

♪ but rick springfield still has the girls screaming. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. great audience here. and welcome to "huckabee" from the fox news studios in new york city. okay detroit is broke. belly up. busted. bankrupt. largest city in the history of the u.s. to file for chapter h?÷9. but a city the size and significance of detroit doesn't go straight to chapter 9. for over 100 years, detroit has been the leading edge of trends in america. chapter one was the birth of the automobile, then the engine and harnessed its power much more

than horses and more than trains. two, when henry ford conceived of a new method of manufacturing the car. chapter three was that mass manufacturing that made the cost of a car affordable for the masses and cars became a fixture in american life as well as a symbol of upward mobility. chapter four was detroit saving america. it was precisely the motor city's prow es at turning steel chrome, aluminum and rubber. without detroit we might all be speaking german or japanese. america must never forget chapter four. chapter five is that after the war, detroit once again unleashed its magic building post war america into a nation of industrial workers who made good money and machines and

whose heavy lifting created the happy days into which baby boomers like me were born and the middle class that gave their parents the steps of the ladder to climb beyond the poverty of the depression and the pain of the war. chapter six was detroit's contribution to the culture. it was the green house of the music of our lives. from the immortal moves of barry gordy's motown sound to the hard charging guitars of nugent, the mc 5, america's pop culture was influenced, if not shaped for our taste in white wall tires, chrome grills and bucket seats. chapter seven was one of america's largest cities being rocked by the race eye yots of the '60s and the beginning of the polarization and the beginning of a population decline. chapter eight that was detroit being utterly ruined by breathtaking corruption of its

local government and by union demands for a bigger piece of a shrinking pie both in the public and private sector. this city's government didn't have the will to rain in the corruption or the guts to say no to the unions and that took them to chapter nine bankruptcy. the saddest part of the detroit story is not that it's the story of a failed city who couldn't it's the story of one of the world's great and successful services who could but willing to sell its soul for lesser things and to tolerate unthinkable things. its unemployment rate has tripled since 2000. twice the national average. its street lights don't work more regularly than its people. 40% of the street lights stay dark. for 20 year, it's been considered one of america's most dangerous cities. it takes the police in detroit

an average of 58 minutes to respond to a call compared to 11 minutes average elsewhere. just under 80,000 city structures have been abandoned. detroit was once the leading edge of america. and now the bad news. it still is is. take a good look at detroit in all of its former glory and current gore and know as it has been on the front of america's trends, it still is. detroit is today what the rest of america is on track to being in another 20 years. reckless spending corruption unaccountable government and caving in demands from those who are dependent upon its cow wers to never say no. if we don't learn from detroit's collapse, the rest of america will be the next chapter.

a pretty unique way to chronicle the problems. he set out to golf across detroit, but he didn't shoot just 18 holes. he golfed across 18 miles of the city and the obstacles that he found along the way are a lot more challenging than some of the world's toughest courses.07dñ >> this might be the stupidest idea i've ever had. it's 100 degrees i'm wearing black and i can't gochllf, but i'm committed because they're talking to reinvent this city. what does the city even look like block by block? who lives here? what do they want? what do they need? anybody asked them? besides, how many cities are so

empty you can take a full on swing? >> they won't tear them down, they won't do nothing, they won't cut the grass! let's all play golf! >> got going there maybe a little bit -- >> i'm golfing the city. i'm on fire. how is the city? >> city's on fire, too man. >> detroit today reminds me of those old black and white photos of the dust bowl and like almost everywhere in america today people are desperate for help from a government they don't trust. >> we make the neighborhood.

got to make the neighborhood. doing one for downtown, but what happened the people that live outside of downtown. not that much money to cut this grass. >> i'm sick and tired of this administration. sick and tired of -- it's just time for a whole clean slate. >> can't take this homeless situation out here. that's where you putting -- out in the streets. >> got a worked up system not in the country, but in the world. >> all right joining me now above the law editor and tara director for dana row backer. good to have you on the show. this breaks my heart about detroit. i love detroit. people of michigan are wonderful people. detroit saved this country. now, we see it in tatters. you know, president obama, i want to play a little clip because i think it's significant before i ask both of you to respond. this is what president obama said about detroit little over a year ago.

>> we refused to let detroit go bankrupt. three years later, paying off in a big way. >> said i'm not going to let it go bankrupt. these bets are paying off in a big way. >> maybe there's a big difference between betting on american corporations and american people. what we see is that corporations are not people and that maybe we should bail out people and not the corporations. >> go ahead. >> we're blaming capitalism for the downfall of detroit. no. how about we look at the corruption the generational democratic rule in that city. the unions that held that public sector hostage. the city hostage as things were changing in the industry and the car industry there. they didn't adapt and the level of kupgs and democratic rule to throw money at the problem, we're going to just do whatever the unions say.

that's what led to the downfall of detroit. not american corporations. >> this is a clip from a detroit councilwoman who i think put in perspective what a lot of people in detroit were looking for from the federal government. >> after the election of jimmy carter alexander young, he went to washington. he came back home with some basics. >> i remember that. >> that's what you do. that's what you do. >> is that what you do? that's the problem, isn't it? they kept waiting for uncle sugar to come rescue them. >> there's also a mail problem. the tax space -- they're gone now i think is the problem. >> talking about public unions. i think a lot of -- whether or not we're going to invest in public services or not.

>> when you say invest, i hear the word spend and to a government that is so utterly corruption corrupt. half what it was in the '50s. >> the crime rate went up after the riot. then you had the police and firemen unions are not the unions that bankrupted this city. oh, the policemen and the firemen. i grew up in a family with a policeman father, those unions are not bankrupting these cities. >> i think if we are not going to invest in detroit, we should just sell it to canada because canada seems to be able to balance government services and creating a strong business environment. if we're not going to put money into our cities then maybe we should sell them. >> i'm going to make a call during the break to the prime

minister of canada. we'll see if he's interested. who knows. coming up, i'm going to ask why the president is injectinging himself into the zimmerman martin case once again. we'll talk about that when we return. >> i'd like the hear from you. go to my website. tell me what you think on the lead feedback section or sign up for my facebook page and follow me on twitter. you can find the link to that and more at mikehuckabee.com. ] eh, hold on brent what's this? mmmm, nice car. there's no doubt, that's definitely gonna throw him off. she's seen it too. oh this could be trouble.

[ female announcer ] research suggests cell health plays a key role throughout our lives. one a day women's 50+ is a complete multivitamin designed for women's health concerns as we age. it has 7 antioxidants to support cell health. one a day 50+. on friday president obama made a surprising appearance and he made his first comments after the not guilty verdict in the zimmerman trial. >> if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario that from top to bottom both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different. >> all right, the president said that this would be different if the teenager had been white. but the bigger issue was that

race was not a part of the trial, a part of the fbi. they said they couldn't find any racial issue here. the trial judge didn't bring it up. prosecution didn't bring it up. why does the president bring it up and attach it? why didn't he stand above it and say race is an issue we need to talk abt, but let's not tieing to trayvon martin. that's a whole different kettle of fish. >> i think clearly, he didn't believe that and i think there are lots of people that believe race was a part. >> did he know more than the fbi and the judge in that case? >> i think what obama is saying as a black man, yes, and i think he has the right to say this as a black president that he does know more. he does have a special insight into this case than other people. if george bush can run around saying don't mess with texas then obama is allowed to run around and say stop messing with black, male children. >> i'm just going to turn you loose. >> okay. you know i looked at this with

great sadness as i watched this unfold yesterday live from my office in washington and i said to myself, how dare the president of the united states lower himself to the same level as these race merchants out here trying to gin up race relations in a way that's absolutely inaccurate and untrue. no he's the president of the united states. he's not the black president. he ran as a man who's supposed to transcend race. no one is supposed to talk about him as a black man and this was a missed opportunity for him to come in and say you know what? this case was not about race. this case was about the rule of law. actually, he never should have commented on the first place. it's a local case and he should have kept quiet about it. >> he's not the president of just black people. but he is a black president. >> he was the president of black people yesterday afternoon. >> he is a black president and as a black president, he had

something to say about this and i don't think that it's right to say that he's not allowed to say -- >> i don't think he's not allowed to speak about it. i just thought it was beneath him to inject race that way. >> disproportionate sentencing where a young black kid who does fewer drugs than he admitted to doing1zy8t when he was a teenager will spend more time in prison than he's going to spend in the white house. >> as a parent to a black son, i don't know how many bigger issues you can talk about than black children being followed and shot. this is the big issue. >> by their own. this is a big issue. >> the greater chance of him getting killed are by a black male than by a white person? >> unfortunately, i feel to explain to my son that he will be looked at differently than

his white friends? >> white friends. that's what obama tried to talk about? . >> there needs to be reflection in the black community why rrnt we fixing that and why rrnt the majority of the black children born without fathers and where is the responsibility in the black community. not that trayvon martin deserveed to do i. it was a tragedy, however, this case right here, where was barak obama and jazzy barack obama and jesse jackson and all of these other race merchants, someone used that re the expression. i love it. is what's going on in chicago, in new york any urban city where black black crime happens every day.ens >> we've got to wrap this segment up but there's a sound clip i want to play. robert f. kennedy. the night martin luther king jr. was assassinated in memphis.hat i remember that night very well

and i also remember what real leadership looks like in the aftermath of something that was in fact a race crime and i want to see that because i think it will put in perspective what we look for when a leader stands up in a moment of crisis. >> what we need in the united states is not division. what we need is not hatred. what we need in the united i states is not violence and ess. lawlessness. but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. of dealing of justice toward those who still suffer within our country whether they be white or whether they be black. >> that was from a speech in dianap indianapolis. april the 4th. 1968. thank you, both. it's always a pleasure to have you. he's running for governor in

>> on thu on thursday, rick perry signed into law new abortion limits that would outlaw abortion after 20 weeks and that would also allow doctors to meet stricter standards. greg abbott announced his candidacy to succeed perry. he now joins me and mr. attorney general, it is always a pleasure to have you and to be with you. it has passed getting signed and you're getting sued. it will be your job to defend it, but it's not something new. >> i've been involved in the attorney general of texas in

defending life in courts and that's what i will be doing in regards to this new texas law. as a reminder, i took the lead among state attorneys general in defending the partial birth abortion ban and we won at the united states supreme court. i took the lead in defendinging the parental notification law and we won in the united states supreme court and in texas. i've taken the lead in defending a texas law the sonogram law, and we defended that and we won. now, we have this new law passed out of the state of texas that is going to, the governor both better protect the health care of women who go through an abortion process, but also do a better job of protecting innocent life. i believe when this case goes to the supreme court that we can win in this case also. >> one of the cases you've been involved with is one of the first states to sue over obama

care, that it was an unconstitutional encroachment that the state has the right to determine in terms of insurance. now, the president himself has ooempb backed way from a main component. does this vindicate the lawsuit that you and other attorneys generals filed across the country? >> governor, the very day the president signed obama care into law, i joined with with 13 other state attorneys general to file a suit because we knew and we believed that obama care violates and even tramples our constitutional rights, but we also knew at that time the train wreck that obama care was going to be with our health care system and how unworkable it was going to be to try to implement it into law. it looked like president obama has just now realizing what we have known all along and that is obama care is completely unworkable. they're not going to be able to implement it. it is harmful to employees, to

workers in this country. if you look at what the national labor unions said just this week, that was going to be a disaster, a nightmare, for the average, every day worker, harming both their health care system, but also their ability to have a 40-hour workweek. >> we just have been talking about detroit earlier. texas has had the opposite experience of detroit. you have so many people moving in. business is booming. the unemployment rate beats that of the national average. you've seen the plight of detroit. now, the largest city in u.s. history to go brumt. when the election is over what you say to the people of detroit, here's how you fix a bad economy. >> the texas model has worked. based upon several things. one, to keep governments small. don't increase the size of government like they do in

detroit or california. two, keep your tax policies low so that it attracts business enterprises and allows the small business owners in particular to keep more of what they make. the third thing is that texas has been a right to work state. so that we are free from some of the union abuses that led to the downfall of detroit in the first place. if you believe in free enterprise in seeking economic opportunity, the texas model is the right model for you. >> it's always a pleasure to visit with you and look forward to talking with you soon. attorney general of the state of texas. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> a boston cop reacts to the treatment of a terrorist by showing the bomber as he was arrested. my reaction and the quotes of the week is coming up next.

people finally allowed to return to their homes tonight as firefighters are winning their battle against a huge wildfire in southern california. some 6,000 people have been forced to evacuate their home and that was when the fire broke out last monday. now, nearly a week later, it's burned nearly 42 square miles in the mountains near palm springs, but firefighters have contained it about 50% now. heavy rain began falling today helping them put out a lot of the flames. royal baby bump watch in full swing as swarms of media continue to stake out the lindo wing in london. the due date has been shrouded in secrecy, but reports are she may be two to three days overdue. the birth will be announced outside an easel outside the palace. well there has been a lot

faces some you know, disciplinary hearing has been suspended with pay but to most people in boston, sergeant murphy is a hero. because he stood up to what he believed was something that was horrible. now, he probably should have some disciplinary hearing just to keep the rules all clear and make sure people understand there are rules and people have abide by them, but after he pays the penalty, a day without pay that he will soon experience something else in boston. a ticker tape parade because most people in boston don't appreciate the cover of "rolling stone" not just because they put his picture, they glamourized this guy who did nothing but bring mayhem to the peaceful people of boston. to you, sergeant murphy, i join the people of boston in saying way to go.

piers morgan interviewed a george zimmerman witness earlier in the week, then larry elder, who's been on our show many times, he tweeted this. piers morgan describes her as one smart cookie. explains why the 19-year-old is still in high school. so morgan later invited elder on his show and let's just say it did not end well. here it is. >> think she's stupid, larry? >> to black people, i think you're stupid for saying that kind of thing to try to get -- >> that wasn't my question. >> do you think racial -- >> when it doesn't. >> do you think she's stupid, larry? >> race isn't a major problem in america anymore. the number one problem facing black people are the large number of black people born outside of wedlock. >> well larry pretty well said it there so i don't have to repeat it but i think the interesting thing is all in the

name of trying to bring greater understanding, there has been more hostility in this past week as people are trying to divide over the race issue in the george zimmerman case. as we try to establish in the earlier segment, this issue is is not about race. it really was a local issue. it's a horrible thing that happened. to trayvon martin. we all agree with that. what's even more horrible is that people of all colors are gunned down in this country every day and most of the time it's not self-defense. it's just cold-blooded savage murder and that's why we need to talk about how to stop that kind of true crime. all right. let me give a birthday shoutout. . one of heroes of lander wyoming. and that's a wonderful community. i've been there to participate in their event the antelope shot.

. . >> earlier this week after

receiving earlier this week the pro football hall of fame in canton, ohio, removed a photo of aaron hernandez. he's been charged with the murder of odin lloyd. one of 12 football players to have been arrested this year alone. there have been more than 650 arrests involving pro football players since the year 2 00. one of the most notorious was the dog fighting conviction of michael vick, who served nearly two years in prison for his crimes. but it's not just football players. dozens of professional baseball, basketball players have been arrested over the last decade including former nba forward jason williams, who pled guilty to assault of a limousine driver. how holtz is a college hall of fame football coach who led notre dame to the national

championship in 1988. he also coached at several other schools, including arkansas. where in 1978, he suspended three starting players, including his two top scorers right before the orange bowl because they happened to break some team rules. they were going against heavily favored oklahoma. well, the razor backs won the game 31-6. i had the chance to speak to him earlier. >> these football player, basketball players, baseball player, get to a level where sometimes they don't have to play by the rules. what's gone wrong? >> whether we're talking about politicses, business people or athletes when they become successful they think they become invisible and invincible. if you choose to do drugs, drop out of school you choose to have problems in your lives.

they've made bad choices never been held accountable. >> how often can the coach influence these players? i know it's different at the nvt. go back to your experience. the night before the game you suspended three players and everybody thought you were crazy. you were suspending your top players and thought, you know, that kills the chances for the razorbacks to beat the oklahoma sooners. arkansas won 31-6. it was a real testament to character. >> i think that discipline's not what you do to somebody it's what you do for somebody and if you overlook certain things, you're saying, okay this is all right to do that for the rest of the team. if you have we have rules and regulations, then everybody has to adhere to them. i didn't decide to suspend the ath alitos, they choose to violate the rule. if you're a coach, you say these are our core values. if you choose to do this, you're

choosing to have this happen. remember choices have ramifications, but we also have everybody making excuses for everybody else. well, he didn't have a father, he was abused, et cetera but yet, there are thousands of people that would these same exe appearances and went on to live very success. lives. >> coach urban meyer is not only a friend of yours but a colleague. did he see something in aaron hernandez that could have been caught at that level? is it even fair to bring up former coaches for some behavior that's exhibited itself in the nfl? >> i think that's totally unfair. i know urban meyer very well and he has great morals, values and would not under any circumstances compromise the integrity of the team by overlooking things. once again, now, it's somebody else's fault. i think as a football coach on a college level, you have an

obligation to make sure that individual receives an education on how to make a living but also on how to live. when they leave your program, they should be better people prepared to make good choices, go on to be successful in life. i never failed at coach football. i also coached the nfl. in the nfl it's about winning. i had a quarter by the name of joe namath. when he showed up he was a great leader, a tremendous teammate. i have no problem with what you do outside campus as long as you show up and are productive. college level, no. if you choose to do this, i'm not going to let you get by with that. i thought that was the main difference. >> coach, you've had a remarkable career. specifically, the college level. if you could counsel some of the coaches who are in the ncaa

ranks today, what would be your advice to them to keep the guys in line? >> it's not very complicated. respect for authority. respect for the law. respect for teachers. respect for elders, et cetera and you have to make people make good choices and you say this. if you make bad choices, you're going to have to live with the consequences of it. how do i make good choices? three simple rules. do the right thing. have any doubt, get out the bible. two, do everything the best to your ability. you have the right to fail. you don't have to right to cause others to fail because you don't do the best you can. when you join a business a team, a spouse bring a child in the world, you have obligation responsibility. third thing, just show other people you care. when you walk in a room, don't be hey here i am, it's all about me. it's about caring about other

people. we follow those three rule, we'll be able to generate trust be totally committed so people know we care about one another and there are too many people in this world that don't care about young people so they're always making excuses. if you care about people, you will make sure they fulfill their obligation. if you're the leader, your job's not to be well liked. it's to make people the best they can be. >> coach, you've done a lot of that in your lifetime and i want to say thank you. you've been one of my heroes in life and it's such a pleasure having you on the show today. coming up rick springfield tells us why he's so close to his fans and he'll be performing one of his fan favorites. stay with us.
