from 7.6%. that's how fox reports today. i am harris faulkner. thanks for watching. "huckabee" starts in a few seconds. day. now huckabee. tonight on huckabee. tonight on "huckabee." >> with this endless parade of distractions, political posturing, phony scandals. >> by dismissing the benghazi and irs scandals as phony, is the president the win distracting and imposter? >> i look up, there's a rambo guy with a vest and gun pointed at me. >> s.w.a.t. teams raiding homes of americans without search warrants. is the u.s. becoming a police state? and chris christie and rand paul in a war of words, has the battle for the republican nomination for 2016 already begun?

>> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> great audience. welcome to huckabee from fox news studios in new york city. theories as to the problems in the republican party are as numerous as possible murder suspects in an old black and white episode of perry mason. this week, the fight broke open between new jersey governor chris christie and senator rand paul over christie's contempt for paul's libertarian leaning views. i'm sure some pundits are going to say well, it is juexample of. we hear the party is in trouble because republicans refuse to abandon their pro-life plan, or because they won't officially embrace same-sex marriage. some say it is because they won't accept an immigration reform scheme currently passed through the senate. or it is because they wouldn't

shred the second amendment and pass some lame feel good legislation that wouldn't stopped the crimes it was designed to prevent. others say it is because they oppose obama care, because they didn't stop sequestration by giving in to the things the democrats wanted. republicans, well, may have lost their way, but it is not because they won't move to the left to become nothing more than a calorie free version of democrat, but it is because they've forgotten to respect and reach out to the people who really make this country work. by the way, it is not the guys incident expensive suits in the corner office with the great view. my wife and i were in boston recently, we went to fenway, america's greatest baseball park. it is 101 years old. may not be as fancy as newer ones, but it has class, and it is a shrine to america's past time. i took some photos of people who, well, i think are as important to the experience as the athletes who get paid

millions to be on the field. these are the guys that carry heavy things up and down the stairs in the heat of the day for hours. they're on their feet the entire time. they work hard for their money. and to most people, they're just a distraction, maybe an obstruction to seeing the game. i see those guys and i see what makes america great. people working hard and sweating to earn a living so one day they can sit in those seats rather than hall hot dogs, peanuts, beverages up to them. people who lay brick have a gift. i value the people that work with their hands and can do things i can't do. i can't fix a water faucet. i can't wire a house or fix a car or an air conditioner. and the people who can are valuable. i've never played golf, but i have as much appreciation for the people that tend the grounds as those who drive the carts. republicans need to attract people from the boys and girls

clubs, not just the country clubs. they need to communicate why big government and high taxes hurts the guy building the skyscraper, not just the one that owns it. why educational choice gives the children of working single moms the same opportunities as kids going to the finest private schools. they need to explain why failed energy policies of democrats are costing them at the gas pump and in their electric bills. i grew up having a lot more in common with the people working in the kitchen instead of those at the head table. to be honest with you, i had to learn how to sit at the head table. i knew how to clean up with the banquet was over. you explain to the wait staff at the gop fund-raiser how you're going to help them, you won't have to worry about the people that pay $10,000 for their ticket. don't begrudge the underemployed family getting food stamps, then justify bailouts for aig, goldman, sachs and gm. the problem with the gop, not

because it is pro-life, pro-marriage, or that it is too conservative, it is convincing the masses and majority that they aren't invisible. [ applause ] president obama has been in office almost five years now, and this week for the 19th time in his presidency he's turning his attention to the economy. in other words, after five years, 18 tries, the economy is still weak. that's not even the shocking news. the shocking news is that president obama in making his latest economic speech had the gall to say this. >> with this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals, washington has taken its eye off the ball. and i'm here to say this needs to stop. this needs to stop. >> you know, those phony scandals like benghazi and how

the irs has targeted conservative groups and the justice department snooping on reporters and the calls they make, really, mr. president? phony scandals? here to discuss with me, crystal wright, from conservativechick.com, and emily nobody letter from washington times. and author of the book "emily gets her gun." but not in new york. great to have you and crystal here today. >> thank you. >> the scandals that rocked the obama administration, and there are a litany of them, are these phony? >> of course they're not phony. that's the president's effort at pushing them off himself. benghazi, four americans dead, one ambassador, that's not phony. the irs targeting conservative groups, that's terrifying. the justice department is snooping into e-mails and phone calls of reporters that don't appreciate obama's agenda. >> probably have yours. >> i am sure, and the nsa

listening, too. we're not on their agenda, they completely ignore the first amendment, fourth amendment, second amendment. >> crystal, how does he get away with it. first amendment. >> how does he get away saying these are phony scandals and they're not phony to people whose lives have been completely up ended by them, but will the press hold this president and his administration accountable? >> sadly, governor huckabee, no. i think the reason being that the liberal media is stuck on the fact that president obama is the first black president, and what's odd and troubling to me, he's always talking about himself in the third person. you know what he says on his economic speech tour, washington has taken its eye off the ball. well, last time i looked, mr. president, you're commander in chief. you're the biggest head of washington. instead of focusing on trayvon martin's death, you know, that was really -- remember last week at this time president obama pushed himself in the news cycle by taking up the murder of trayvon martin after a jury

found george zimmerman not guilty. that is not an important topic of national concern. it was beneath the office of the president, and frankly like you said, why haven't we been talking about jobs and the economy the last five years? >> he keeps talking about a laser that he needs to put the focus on. obviously the laser is out of batteries or something. >> the thing is, his latest pivot, as you said, he is pivoting, spreading in circles the past five years, but the latest pivot is because his poll numbers are plummeting. he lost nine points since april. and it is all due to phony scandals as he calls them. people have obama fatigue at this point. they're tired of this. every week it is something else. it is another abuse of power. so his numbers are falling because he is not -- he is trying to say the polls show 56% of americans disapprove his performance on the economy. >> go ahead. >> i was going to say i agree with everything emily said. it is poll numbers below 50%, like emily said, and i would

argue really, mr. president, your presidency is phony because you know, seriously, we joked about this, but when does the president take responsibility for something. oh, when things are going well, which isn't often in this presidency. i captured bin laden, thanks to bush policies that were put in place after 9/11, and i think like you said, when is the media going to wake up to this president. >> let's talk about also this week the same speech he called them phony scandals and repeating it, college republicans had tickets to the event, they were going to go and hear the president's speech. they were denied admission to the event because they were deemed a security risk. emily, is there something dangerous about being a college republican that i haven't heard about? >> there's something dangerous apparently if you challenge barack obama. it is shocking. i think it is absolutely shocking. all the kids were doing was wearing republican t-shirts, and

they were denied entry. i think the story has to be more well played. i think the only way he can make it up to them, invite them and let them talk, have their time with him. he disagrees with the right to assemble, to free speech. where do we draw the line. only have people around the president that agree with him? >> crystal, do you think that will happen, maybe call it a beverage summit of some kind? >> ha-ha-ha. soda pop, popcorn. college republicans. doubtful. >> it is an idea. >> i like emily's idea. emily and i will push the president to do this. in all seriousness, the president slouches the first amendment, fourth amendment, i think the thing about the college republicans, i remember i don't know if i was talking about this before the show, but i thought the president of the united states of america means he is president of all americans, and so we all have a

right to assemble, all have a right to hear his audience and his speeches and they were civil, these kids, in missouri i think it was. they protested a bit in advance of the speech. i don't know about you, anybody that's been to college, been a college student, you get a bee in your bonnet, you protest over something. >> i enjoy it when people protest my speeches, i feel i must be significant enough to earn the protest. i am honored. i am not going to protest you guys, i will have you back, both of you, been great. thank you. really great to have you. thanks.

terrified by plain clothes officers with weapons, the girls fled the scene, made this frantic 911 call. >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god! >> what's going on? >> we don't know, sir. we don't fo if they are police officers or not and we're freaking out. >> the case of beer was a case of sparkling water. >> a mayor in his own home. >> three or four men in masks walking across the yard carrying rifles. i didn't have time to process that before i heard an explosion. >> explosion of my door being blown open, followed by immediate gunfire. >> upon entry, the s.w.a.t. team shot and killed his two dogs. >> they bound my hands, pulled me across the living room, had me laying on the floor in front of the front door. i thought i was about to be executed. >> later, it was discovered the invasion was due to a drug raid mixup. in utah, army veteran david

stewart's home was in vaded by a s.w.a.t. team over suspected use of marijuana. 12 officers from the narcotics strike force made up of agencies raided the home. forced entry resulted in a shootout between the officers and the suspect. >> several officers down. several officers down. get a unit up here now. >> he killed one officer and injured five others. he was arrested, would later take his own life in prison. no knock raids increased from 3,000 a year in the mid 1980s to nearly 80,000 raids in 2011. just for the math, increase of 3,000%. joining me, john whitehead, constitutional attorney, founder of the rutherford institute, author of a new book "a government of wolves" the emerging american police state. john, great to have you here. >> thank you. >> we are living in a time in

police agent speak that i always supported and still do, but they're becoming militaristic. how widespread is this? >> very widespread. there were 3,000 so-called s.w.a.t. team raids, 80,000 now, the increase is dramatic. what happened in the early 1980s, the pentagon started handing out free equipment to 17,000 police agencies across the country, you're talking about peace makers that have tour its, assault vehicles, armor for policemen. assault rifles, black hawk helicopters, police agencies with 50 officers with black hawk helicopters now. what's happened, they militarized the police, and the police as some army officers told me, once you put that gear on and you've got someone wearing masks now, pretty far out, that's what they do in afghanistan, you can't see who you're up against, they become the military, it is not like the peace officer that would say sir, here is a warrant, i would

like to talk to you. >> isn't officer o'toole with his club saying hi to the kids. >> they have tasers, assault rifles, shoot the dogs first. i have seen some raids, it is awful. a young girl, seven years old in detroit, two years ago asleep on the couch. in storms the guys in the middle of the night, one of the officers guns go off, shoot her, kill her, princess blanket top of her. her dad comes out, what's happened, slam him face down. the guy they were looking for was -- >> wrong house. >> wrong house. >> what happens to the police agency and to responsible parties when they do this? >> most people sue. that case is on-going now. the courts basically ruled most police officers have qualified entry. the courts, it is difficult. you get damages against police officers, guess who pays the bill, taxpayer. of course. those things are going on.

a case in arizona, ex-marine, bang. 3:00 a.m. in the morning, door goes down, wife starts screaming, takes his wife and child, puts them in the closet. he stands at the end of the hallway with a hunting rifle. the police enter the scene, 90 rounds are fired, 60 hit him. he falls down. they wouldn't let the medics take care of him. he bled to death on his own floor. the police claim he shot them. investigation shows case never came off the weapon. those are the cases, shocking. as a civil libertarian, i been in this 40 years, this is a trend if we don't reverse, i am creeped out i say and worried. >> i think we all ought to be. i want to talk to you more when we come back. when we do, i am going to ask john if there's a way to stop militarization of police departments across the country. what can you do to protect yourself. we'll be right back. in the first 24 hours. but not just any cold. i only use new thermacare® cold wraps.

we are back with john whitehead, a massive, frightening reality of police agencies using military tactics and sometimes not because they think there's a terrorist unit but because they're serving a warrant, think there's marijuana. most people smoking marijuana are probably pretty mellowed out, not doing much other than say hey, man, got any brownies? that's not the big worry. let's get into it. how many agencies, it is not just local police. >> no. >> federal agencies, like department of education. why the heck does department of education have a s.w.a.t. team. >> all do, irs, department of homeland security, fbi, the amazing thing shocked me, about this time last year, department of homeland security bought over a billion hollow point bullets

to supply their agency, and no explanation, but i am a former infantry officer, hollow point bullets hit your body, explode, and kill you. the question is why the department of fisheries has hollow point bullet, go into people's homes. there's a certain paranoia built up in government about american citizens. what i think has happened, we reversed the master-servant relationship. the three beautiful words, we the people, we are the government. any government employee, the president, the police, they're our servants, should approach us with great worth and dignity. one of the things i point out in the book, integrity is gone. they pull people over, do searches. two women last year in texas, pulled over by the police, did vaginal and rectal searches in search of marijuana.

>> on the side of the highway. >> on the side of the highway. that was awful. they didn't change the gloves. >> those kind of things are so outrageous. but it is not just an isolated incident once in a while, this is happening regularly. is it because we supply police agents with too many whiz bang toys? >> there's no reason for 50 man police department to have a peace maker, tanks they use over in afghanistan. yeah. we've done that. many americans have been asleep. your show is great. you're one of the few mainstream people that talks about these things. [ applause ] when i talk about s.w.a.t. team raids, people go what? but where is cnn and msnbc, why aren't they talking about these things. they're happening on a daily basis. people are getting killed. >> we're not against law and order, not against law enforcement, what we're against, an outrageous trampling of

constitutional rights of making sure a person has a warrant to search me or my home. >> why in the world in maryland are they going to people's doors. purpose of the fourth amendment says there must be probable cause before you walk to an american's house or touch an american. means they have to have some evidence showing you have done something illegal. they are going to people's doors, no knock raids at 3:00 a.m. in the morning, people are getting killed. what the police and nsa are doing, by passing the fourth amendment, throwing it in the toilet. fourth amendment is the key to the bill of rights. it protects against the police state. unfortunately we're doing away with it. >> john, we need to be aware. if we lose this country, it is largely because we turned the other way and allowed our basic rights across the board to be trampled upon. john whitehead, thank you very much. the book "a government of wolves." coming up, egypt is moving

live from america's news headquarters, i am harris faulkner. the death toll in last week's train crash in spain has risen to 79. local reports, the latest victim is an american woman. the driver of the train is expected to be charged with multiple cases of negligent homicide. he has been released without bail at this point and must appear in court once a week. investigators are trying to decide if he is solely to blame, and also looking at the track's emergency safety system. pope francis is on his way to the vatican after a week-long trip to brazil. more than 3 million packed the beach to see him before his departure. the crowd so big, some pilgrims waded into the water to hear him

conversation and they won't. >> paul's office shot back friday, saying, and i quote, if governor christie believes the constitutional rights and privacy of all americans is esoteric, he either needs a new dictionary or he needs to talk to more americans because a great number of them are concerned about the dramatic overreach of our government in recent years. well, i could say boys will be boys, but this is a legitimate debate to have, but i am always uncomfortable when republicans are attacking other republicans. looks like there would be plenty of us to at least agree on and disagree with the people who believe that big government, more taxes, and more trampling on all our constitutional rights are a bigger burden than the nuances in the republican party itself. just my thought. this week, egyptian authorities arrested and detained mohammed morsi over accusations he ordered killing of soldiers and

conspired with terrorist groups. if you remember, morsi's new government received the support of the obama administration when he took office after the arab spring of 2011. egypt's new government has not received similar backing from the white house. egyptian born pastor michael yu self told us how people in his home land feel about our president as well as ambassador to their country that he appointed. >> you see the signs in tahrir square of obama and ambassador patterson, with a red x on them. shown to congress. and they literally want nothing to do with this administration. they say to american people, until you change the administration, don't have any dealing with us here in egypt. we don't want your money, we don't want your aid. >> dr. youssef is a leading pastor in atlanta, georgia, church of the apostles, a significant church. he is one of the leading voices

and scholars understanding egypt. he was born there, has family still there. he has a problematically with what's been an on-going systemic persecution of christians and secular muslims in egypt during the mohammed morsi administration. now that morsi has been moved out, the same leader that called jews bloodsuckers, said they were descendants of apres and pigs, wonder where is the administration with a little love for moderate egyptians that would like to see egypt have a sense of democracy, which is what they fought for in tahrir square two years ago. and finally, not a quote, but the picture of the week. it has to be this one. former president george h.w. bush who shaved his head in solidarity with patrick, a two-year-old boy, battling leukemia. the boy's father is a member of bush's secret service detail.

i've always known that president bush 41 was one of the most dignified, one of the most qualified, one of the most gracious gentlemen to ever occupy the white house. but in this act he has shown us a level of statesmanship that makes him the hucks person of the week. to shave his head in response to a little boy's chemotherapy for leukemia, all you can say is mr. president, america loves you for it, and we thank you.

therapist, host of couples therapy on vh-1, dr. jen berman. i want to talk about these guys, but first, what is it about these men that would cause young, attractive women to be interested in these married men who are older than their fathers. >> first of all, power, money, and fame are highly seductive. one of the things that's really interesting, as you probably know, nick richie of the dirty.com wrote this story. he was on season two, i talked to himt quite a bit yesterday. one thing he shared after interviewing this woman for hours and hours and days and months is there was a grooming process, this is a guy who really was very seductive. he knows how to seduce women. he really looked for someone who was kind of turned on by sort of

his sexual prowess, and his political prowess. then it became sexual. she wasn't into the sexual part at first, she was like i just want to talk politics with this guy. but he knew how to go there, he is an experienced predator. >> that's the point. is this more than just a dirty old man? is he sick? is this some compulsion he has, a sex addict? >> whether you call it an addiction or a compulsion, this is someone who is very troubled. i would say this is highly compulsive behavior, and when you are someone that's willing to do something that goes against what appear to be your morals, your ethics and values, made vows to his wife, you're willing to do something that can cost you everything, your marriage, your career, that's a sign of compulsivity. >> in terms of costing him something, he has a son. one day he will agree grow up,

pictures will be there for the kid to see. >> when you look at the effect on the kids, look at two parts. when he is old enough to google, how embarrassing. to me, that's the least of the problem. when you have a parent acting in a compulsive, addictive way, compulsivity exists, intimacy can't exist. when you're acting out like that, you're not emotionally present for your child, your marriage, or anyone else. >> what makes men in positions, whether eliot spitzer, mark sanford, anthony weiner, what makes them think they're going to get away with it? these are people easily recognized. >> narcissism is the key. [ applause ] >> all due respect, but a lot of powerful male politicians have very narcissistic personality disorders, then also what end up happening is that they're surrounded by people that cover for them, who yes them.

so they don't have to deal with the consequences of their actions, then it explodes, it mushrooms. >> how does a person who has become the butt of every late night comedian, joke of the front page of every tabloid in new york city, how does that person continue to go out there with a big smile on his face and proudly walk through neighborhoods saying vote for me. i don't get that. i would be running and hiding somewhere i think. >> one, it is his livelihood, two, what got him in this mess, he has a sense of i am invincible. he is thinking this will pass, i got away with it the first time, eventually i will get away with it with this. my wife is standing by my side, eventually the public will come around, they did last time. >> i feel sorry for his wife. huma is really a very accomplished person and very well educated person. has everything going for her. she is standing by him, and there's a part of me says gee, i want marriages to stay together, that's always the first hope

that people will work it out. but is she kidding herself to think that he's really cured? he said he was, went through all this before, said i'm cured, i've gotten therapy, you know, i'm sorry, i'm not going to do this, and he's doing it all the time. >> he said that, and he acted out. i would be shocked this is the only woman, given the level of impulsivity. it is easy from the outside to judge. i know there's been a lot of criticism of her, she has political aspirations, but i think when you have a family and child with someone, you want to forgive. you want to move past it. you want to keep your family together, keep them intact. and especially if you have a spouse that shows remorse, which he initially did. but when you ask can this be cured, can this be helped, yes. i base my livelihood on the belief people can change, but it requires tremendous therapy, sometimes a 12 step program,

evaluation for medication. if he is willing to do it, there's hope. but he has gotten away with a lot, makes a man less inclined. >> interesting to see if the people of new york think he is qualified to be mayor. i cannot imagine if they think that. if they do, they deserve it. surely not. dr. berman, thank you very much. nice to have you here. you knew her as the band leading mom of the partridge family. details of her personal life may shock you. shirley jones is next. family. her personal life [ male announcer ] come to the golden opportunity sales event to experience the precision handling of the lexus performance vehicles, including the gs and all-new is. ♪ this is the pursuit of perfection.
