brand-new hit. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. thank you very much. great studio audience here. welcome to "huckabee." hey, this weekend marks our show having been on fox news for five years. that's right. we want to say thanks to you all of you who have been loyal viewers. our show has been the most watched cable show in all of cable news, most weekends more people watch this show than all other cable news shows combined during our time slot. [ applause ] and as we get ready to start our sixth year we thank you.

oh, even if the government shuts down we don't plan to any time soon [ laughter ] and speaking of a government shutdown, if congress can't agree on a budget by the end of the month, here's a word of counsel to my fellow republicans, why would you rescue the democrats from their determined self-destruction? the democrats in congress and president obama, they own obama care. completely and totally. not one republican in the house or senate voted for it. they've repeatedly tried to repeal it. they've tried to replace it and get rid of it. but every time they get blocked by harry, the hand reid who sits on a he can like an hen, except the hen wants to hatch the eggs harry just wants to make sure they transition from the greatest deliberative body to the world's most dysfunctional body.

appreciate the efforts to protect our nation from the disaster of obama care. it's already driving costs up, costing americans their jobs and their health coverage, and as even the labor unions have realized too late it's poised to potentially destroy a 40-hour work many week and full time employment but the plan to tie it to passage of the budget might sound bold and daring but it only serves to give democrats cover from having to defend this monstrosity on an american public who doesn't want it and who will suffer because of it. now, if it were mathematically possible for the defunding plan to succeed, then damn the tornadoes and full speed ahead but passage requires almost every republican house member to vote yes. in the senate, however, that would require 60 votes. the republicans have 46. they need 14 democrats to come on board.

not likely, but even, even if they could get the 60 votes, they still don't win because the bill would most certainly be vetoed by president obama. one of the few promises he would actually keep. and [ laughter ] >> if he veto ted bill it would take 67 to override it. they have to have 21 to join them and thumb their nose at their own party and president. folk, it's more likely i'll appear in miley cyrus' next music video than for that to happen. sounds like our audience thinks that might be great. on the other hand, as obama care grinds more americans to the dirt of joblessness and poverty, the republicans have a clear and defining message to take into the 2014 elections where they could be in a strong position to take control of the senate and prepare to reclaim the white house in 2016. but one way to kill that is to

change the subject from obama care's impact to the effects of a government shutdown. it's winning the immediate battle at the expense of the ultimate battle and if republicans just want to fight, well take on the president for wanting to borrow more money and plunge us deeper into debt. i mean, after all in 2006, he said doing that was irresponsible and unpatriotic. if it was, then it still is. and if he says it isn't now, then ask him which time he was lying to us because it's hard to start a fire and not smell like smoke. the president and the democrats lit the match of obama care so let them defend it. why hand them a hose when they're determined to play with gasoline and burn their own house down? no need to burn ours down too. [ applause ] so obama care exchanges will take effect october 1st. that's less than three weeks from now.

now, if you're not sure about what you have to do to make sure that you're covered, don't worry, the law provides experts, they're going to guide you through it. they're called navigators. [ laughter ] many of the expert navigators received as little as 20 hours of training. oh and they're going to have accession to your personal, medical and financial information, what could possibly go wrong? [ laughter ] well, let's ask betsy mccoy, author of "beating obama care." [ applause ] >> great to join you. >> always great to have you back. >> thank you. >> looks like you brought your copy of obama care with you. >> i did. right here, the affordable care act. >> you probably got strong arms from lifting that thing around. >> i sure have. and i especially want to talk about section 1311 under which americans will be exposed to the dangers of navigators. >> well, when you talk about the danger of navigators, i was

facetiously saying what could wrong but a lot could go wrong because, first of all, how prepare reasonable doubt we to turn loose our information to the navigators. >> autopsy section 1311 of this law, hundreds of millions of dollars are being poured into community activist group, unions, community meth plan, civil rights groups all over the country and they are being asked to hire, quote, navigators to do what otherwise government employees would do which is walk americans through the health exchange, show them what the choices are and collect all their financial and personal information and help them enter it into a nationwide database and enrollment health plans. >> they're contractors? >> they are people hired literally off the streets, in fact, one of the regulations says that they should be -- they should match the ethnic and racial composition of the neighborhood where they're going

to be working. on the preposterous notion that only hispanics can be helped by a hispanic. but there will be no background checks. >> i'm hearing there is as not enough time and that's their excuse we want to have background checks for everything except the 1/2 gairters who would have social security number, they would have everything necessary -- >> your irs information, address and lots of other personal information. so one problem is these background check, some states, florida, texas, ohio, have simply insisted that there will be background checks, but in other states said, well, this won't be time, right? here's some common sense, right. insurance brokers have always been fingerprinted and background check so why shouldn't these people? the fact they won't be and originally they were supposed to get 30 hours of training. now it's down to 20 hours and

some of these community organizations haven't even hired the navigators even though this is supposed to launch in less than two week. >> if they mess up, okay, let's say they hire somebody who just got out of prison because he was there for identity -- >> very possible. >> very, very possible. >> he needs a job and here's one waiting for them. >> give him my credit card information, social security, complete i.d. what's the penalty? >> not in this law, section 14 11 says you shouldn't steal anybody's identity but there's no penalty. how outrageous is that? in addition to the risks of identity theft, you've also got this federal data hub that will collect information from the irs, the department of health and human services, homeland security, state agencies, it's all going to be in one hub and the government watchdog says that's not ready for prime time either. they have no idea whether that's been sufficiently tested to guard your information. >> you know, it sounds like instead of navigators we need

fumigators to go through obama care. thanks, betsy, always insightful. rowdy, party hearty teenagers broke into this guy's house and trashed the place. you know what some of the parents of the party animals -- they're furious but you're not going to believe who they're mad at. we'll take you to the scene and speak to the homeowner. former nfl lineman brian holloway coming up next. i'd like to hear you from. go to mikehuckabee.com and 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 on mikehuckabee.com. arsigned to draw crowds. others are designed to leave them behind. ♪ the all-new 2014 lexus is. it's your move.

of party causing $20,000 worth of damage. rather than apologize for the kids' behavior several parents are threatening to sue former nfl star brian holloway for posting the teenagers' photos and anyways on a website he created after the party. joining me from his home is brian holloway. brian, i appreciate very much your being with me today. [ applause ] >> yeah, no problem. this is an important conversation. >> you know, it really is. first of all, you found out about this because your 19-year-old son started getting tweets from your home. >> yep. >> some 300 kids -- >> he started getting tweets. >> and what were you finding out as it was going on? >> well, we didn't -- it was hard to believe that it was actually happening. we realized right away we needed to document everything so it's like i can't believe we're in the house. i can't believe we broke in. i've never been this drunk before. this is the greatest night of my life. let's check this mansion. this is cool. let's text and tweet everybody.

look at her over there. she's so drunk. i can't believe that. either. wake -- no, i can't wake why is she naked? had we have drugs and alcohol. we can party for three days long. oops, the cops are coming. the sheriffs are here. run out to the woods. we're buffed. doesn't matter, this is the greatest day of my life. >> you're in your other home. you get back. the place is just trashed. i mean, there's a hole -- looks like back over your shoulder. i guess that's how they got in. >> yeah, so what happened. one of the places they broke in, they broke in over there. and then they came into this room. they took a ladder. came up through a window upstairs. and then they also just kicked in a window and chaim through. so they partied hard. you could tell that they were at a whole different level whether it was drugs, alcohol, meth, cocaine, crack or something

because you just don't get that outrage at least in my mind. maybe i'm old school being a parent. we have raised eight kids and never seen anything like this but to be able to take it to the level they did. lets us know that there is something bigger operating here that we've got to wrap our heads around as a community and parents. >> brian -- >> anything that was broken, i mean it could be fixed. the things that were stolen can be returned but these 300 lives are heading down a dangerous path and we're going to lose some of them. >> that's the point and you put their own tweets, their pictures that they took built a website and said -- they're mad at you -- >> yeah, i hoe. >> the parents are mad at you? i don't get that. what's that about? >> yeah, i don't really understand. if my child was in your house steals, breaking the law, doing drugs and you put on site a

picture that your child put on site through twitter and that allows me to identify what my child is doing, i would thank you for saving my child's life and that son would be over there or daughter with a toothbrush the next day and they would clean that place up until it was done and only then would they be able to return to school and if they had to miss out and fail a grade because of it, trust me, they would. >> and, brian, the 300 kids broke that your house and tracked the place, left it a mess, how many have come back to apologize, how many of them have come back to help you clean it up? >> well, they've been asked -- three different occasions to come up and the first time no one came. why? they needed an opportunity to bring everyone together including the parents to talk about this bigger issue, no one showed the first time. i made another request, remember, i'm online.

i use the same digital technology to talk to them and the following day, one person and one parent showed up. so that sent a loud message. sometimes words unspoken shout and that shouted. and so this was an opportunity today, we're having a party for some recognized military personnel and veterans and airborne and i said let's come up and serve them. you could be around real heroes and i want you to be around people that are great models for all of you mrs. mrs. >> and i just found out a couple did show up. >> brian, i just can't even imagine but i want to say thank you for being here. i hope the charges are pressed against these kids but more importantly thank you for being willing to let us see what happened to your home and i hope it does get cleaned up again. we appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> yeah, it is time for all of us to take tay stand.

>> it really s ima. i'm going to say, what happened to parents? what happens to people who would let their kids do this and instead of being angry at their kids they're angry that their kid might have some consequences from absolutely animalistic behavior. well, guess what, mom and dad, your kid deserves to have some consequences for having done in this to this man. thanks for not hoisting your monster on the rest of us. i know what would have happened in my day and i can't even describe it on television. oh. nancy pelosi will explain why she thinks those rotten republicans are critical of her beloved president. it's not just the gop ripsiping into the president. quotes of the week when we come back. your mom could do anything.

>> it it's one thing for political opponents to criticize the president but when members of his own party do it, that's a different story and when the guy criticizing the president is his former defense secretary i'd say president obama might have some problems. this is leon panetta talking about how badly the syria situation was handled. >> it is the responsibility and the authority goes with it in commander in chief to take action so my view would have been that once the president came to that conclusion that he should have directed limited action going after assad to make very clear to the world that when we draw a line and we give our word, damn it, we back it

up. >> what else can you say but amen? if we make a promise or consider a threat, whatever, we either do it or we lose our credibility a altogether. recent polls show americans don't approve of the way president obama has handled syria or the economy or their health care. but nancy pelosi, well, she thinks it's only the republicans who are critical so she's standing up for her man. >> he's brilliant. he has a vision for our country. he's brilliant. has knowledge of the issues and judgment about what the right path would be. respectful of other people's views. that's a package that they don't like. that's a package -- it's effective. look at me. i'm effective 00 a target. i'm not the president so it doesn't matter. >> for awhile i thought she was talking about me. i really did.

then i realized, no, she wasn't. she was talking about president obama and how effective he is. and then she was talking about how effective she is. i was thinking maybe not effective, maybe affected would be a better way to describe it. [ applause ] finally, there is a journalism professor at the university of kansas by the name of david guth. he tweeted out this message "the blood is on the hands of the nra. next time let it be your sons and daughters. shame on you. may god damn you." the university of kansas put guth on administrative leave but many others are calling for him to be fired. you know, i believe in academic freedom but for a person who is being paid by the taxpayers of

kansas to wish deaths upon the children of people who are in the nra, i'm sorry, i don't think the taxpayers of any state have an obligation to help put food on the table who wishes to take feet from under the table on who happen to believe in a legitimate organization and by the way, professor, i too am a member of the nra and does that mean you want my children and grandchildren to die? sir, you are one sick person. so please don't give me the liberal drive about how compassionate they are and how mean conservatives are. people like you make that very hard to believe. well, let me ask you, what do mitt romney, michelle obama, actors meryl streep, bradley cooper, chuck norris, musicians like lynyrd skynyrd and willie nelson and elisabeth hasselbeck, what do they have in common? i'll tell you when we come right back.

program initiative called achieve. it set national standards in grammar and math and other subjects. it eventually evolved into common core in 2010 and received an enormous amount of backlash, most conservatives. one of the critics is the founder of the president of the action group kyle olson and kyle joins me now. thanks for joining me to talk about common core. it's very controversial. i had so many think i've gone to the devil because i had been supportive of the basic notion. tell me what you feel like is the biggest complaint of common core. >> well, there's several complaints and first of all, i think as conservatives, as parents, we want high standards. we want accountable schools but this goes well beyond. to me one of the biggest problems is data mining. what is happening is the federal government is recommending that states collect over 400

different sets of data on students. and so it's not just, you know -- >> that's not common core. that is -- >> common core -- >> it was two things, just mass and language and it was not curriculum. it was strictly standards. now, i agree the federal government and/or state or local government could come in and call it common core but that's not it originally was. >> the data mining is what holds it all together so i believe technology is a good thing in schools. and i believe assessing where kids are at is critical, but what some of the points that they are recommending that schools collect include religious affiliation, medical results, voting history, things that go well beyond how a child is doing in the classroom and when the democrats were in charge of the congress in 2010 they changed the student privacy

law which then gives the federal government and the private companies access to this information. and so what's happening is they were setting up our kids to have all of this information released to these parties that, frankly, i don't believe should have it. >> i totally agree. none should be mined nor shared but let me point out that is an entity called common core data which is not common core, the standards, which is a state initiative so those are two totally separate things but have the same term but they are not the same. >> but they are all going together and that's the problem. you can't just simply have the standards without all of these other things because arne duncan and the ng am and all of the other groups that are promoting this won't let that happen. i mean, you look at what arne duncan is doing now. he is going into states like california and telling them what they can and cannot do and it all evolves around common core

and so i agree with you. we should have high standards. we should have high expectations for students and teachers, but there are better ways to do it because what's happening is it's implied that common core is the only way to get there and i disagree. >> it's not a pathway. it is a goal and arne duncan, the education secretary under president obama, he has his own agenda but common core is a state initiative. it is not a federal initiative. the feds don't control it, the states do and the way i've simply tried to explain it to people, common core is like setting up the rules of football. it's 100 yards from one end to the other. the way you play the game inside those boundaries is totally up to you. you can pass, run, but the rules is, here they are and you have a goal. how you get to the goal is totally up to you but common core doesn't tell you how to score, it just tells you what it should look like at the end of the game. >> but the trouble is that may be how it started but it's not the way it is going. and i believe when they put

common core into the stimulus and they offered stimulus money for states to adopt common core, at that moment that is where the whole process was corrupted and in my opinion, that is the moment where conservatives should have said, this is now -- this is an obama thing and i'm not saying that simply because of president obama -- but this is a federal initiative now, this is being pushed by the federal government and it's corrupted and we should be looking for something he. >> what we should hone for is that the governors have a spent to take this back -- >> that's right. >> -- and take it over and get it to what it's intended to be. kyle, that up. great to have you here.
