president's plan is designed to balance the rights of privacy for everyday americans with the need to protect the nation from terror. >> it has been a lively hour with the fox news insiders. glad you were along. thanks for tweeting. tonight on huckabee, republicans attacking members of their own party. >> don't focus on the people in office. focus on those you would like to replace. >> wisconsin governor scott walker with his solution to the gop infighting. >> and -- >> the war in iraq is over. al qaeda has been decimated. >> but now al qaeda flags are flying in fallujah. soldiers who fought and lost brothers in iraq tell us how they feel to see the iraqi cities back in the hands of extremists. plus, he says if good guys have guns, the bad guys will stay away. detroit police chief james craig tonight.

ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. thank you. great audience here in new york, and we're so glad to have you. welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. well, there's one thing standing in the way of republicans adding to their majority in the house and releasing the senate from the grasp of harry reid and his democrat foils. and it's other republicans. it was jesus who said a house divided against itself cannot stand. and neither jesus's statement nor obamacare have been repealed yet. with the jobless rate continuing to keep many from being able to find enough to pay their bills, with our overall economy only favoring those well connected to washington or wall street, and our standing in the world decimated by bungled policies, embarrassing mistakes like getting caught spying on foreign leaders, 2014 ought to be a good

year for the republicans. but if something doesn't change, it's going to be a disaster. and we actually run the risk seeing nancy pelosi back in the speaker's chair. republicans -- yeah, my audience doesn't like that too much. well, republicans shouldn't allow the party's process to be hijacked by big bucks advertising campaigns which don't always target liberals but provide weapons of frat ricide o conservatives can slice other conservatives to pieces rather than focusing on the contrast with leftists. those who blame the tea party are misguided because the tea party is a movement, not a structured organization. as such, the tea party has rightfully helped the republican party refocus on the perils of spending money we don't have and borrowing money that we can't afford to pay back. no, it's the infighting, the back biting, and the wounds from those who ought to be our friends that hurt us the most. when republicans spend time and

money to tear down other republicans, rather than to build up the country, why would we expect people to want to vote for us. people want to be led by someone who looks like he's going somewhere, not someone who looks like he's sorry he's been. we ask you to offer your thoughts on facebook and twitter. as to how the republican party should go forward. and you surely did. now, many of you used a term that, well, to be honest with you, i would like to see it outlawed from the vernacular of the party, the term rhino. it stands for republicans in name only. it's a pejorative term that questions the authenticity and orthodoxy of a party purity. one of the posts said to me, get rid of all the rhinos, including you, speaking of me. now, for one to imply that he or she is more pure a republican than someone else is to assert that one individual has either been given or has taken the role of keeper of the kingdom.

with all due respect, i fought in the trenches of republican politics for over two decades, but i wouldn't pretend that i'm lord over determining who the real republicans are versus the so-called rinos. i think wendy harris has it right. here's what she posted. they all need to be on the same page, fighting for the same fight, we the people, and get rid of those who don't or won't. and then jane gladden also expressed some real common sense. she posted this. stand together. a party divided cannot win. and raymond davis sent this message to us. quit beating on each other through all the ridiculous debates. we need to be the world leader respected by other leaders. and really secure our borders, and stop rewarding those here illegally. the most important thing, tell the truth. and get our own house in order. also, our thanks to all who sent in comments, but one thing ought to be certain. someone who agrees with me 90% of the time is not my enemy.

if factions within the republican party insist on spending time and money to attack other republicans, i wonder if they want to win elections and save the country or just proudly boast to their party pedigree. i'd rather have a loyal dog who licks me than one with a pedigree who bites me. and i'd rather go to battle with someone who isn't perfect than with someone who thinks he is. and that's my view. i'm glad you joined us. again, thank you very much for your very many tweets and facebook posts. well, my first guest says republicans ought to stop focusing on taking down other republicans and concentrate on democrats they want replaced. wisconsin governor scott walker joins me now. governor, great to have you with me. thanks so much for being a part of the show today. last sunday, you alluded to the

fact that republicans have to be very intent on focusing, defeating democrats, not beating up republicans. let's talk about how republicans need to turn the tide to win elections, because nobody questions your -- i think, credibility as a conservative. but you have not taken the idea that we need to tear down other conservatives. so where do we go from here? >> well, you're exactly right. i think for i and a lot of other folks, particularly governors elected in 2010, many of the people who helped elect us share our frustration, particularly with the federal government being too big, too expansive, too a part of our live said, so we want to take action. what we learned in wisconsin and i point out in my book, other midwestern governors learned was in 2010, we not only elected governors, we elected republican majorities in our legislative bodies and it made all the difference in the world. that's why we had in wisconsin, ohio, michigan, other states, iowa, but particularly in the

three first battleground states, we not only won, but we got big, bold reforms done. why? because we had a republican team in place. in washington, we don't have the same thing. we have house republicans, people like paul ryan, my good friend, who are leading the way, pushing for true reform, but we still have the united states senate controlled by harry reid and the democrats and we still unfortunately for the next few years have a democrat president. to me, the real focus not should be on fighting republicans, but going to places like your state, arkansas, and neighboring state louisiana, and north carolina, and alaska, where this year in november, there will be real elections, united states senate, that will determine the future not only of our party but of our country. we need to elect republicans to those spots. >> if your state had been divided, republican versus republican, would the reforms you led ever have happened? >> no, not at all. i think that's true with what happened in michigan with right to work, it's true where you see other reforms across the country in states where republicans now lead state legislative bodies

and hold governorships. we were able to put a team in place. we had great help, not only from the republican establishment, from a lot of the grassroots activists and tea party and others across the state who said we're going to help you put the power back in the hands of the people. we're going to help put the hard working taxpayers to get back in charge. if we would have had to fight our own party, we would have had tremendous difficulties if not a real barrier to reform, and the answer, and again, i share the frustration many do, even after the last budget compromise was put together, but the real answer is not to go out and attack republicans who try to push reform in the house or try to defeat them in primaries. it's to go out and win the winnable elections in the united states senate. then after that, if a year from now republicans hold the united states senate and hold the united states house, if at that point we can't get things done, i think it's legitimate to hold people in our own party accou accountable. in the end, sometimes i feel like there are some who want people in washington and our

side to hold their breath until the other side takes on our positions. well, the reality is sometimes holding your breath too long, all that leads to is passing out. we need to make sure we don't pass out, that we're there to fight. and we need to make sure that we fight not only now, but that we have a game plan to win in the future. in 2014, is that all important year. we get the senate back. then two years later, we elect a republican president. it's not just winning elections at that point. it's about truly reforming the federal government, reigning in the debt, putting the power back in the hands of the american people. that's something we can do, but we can't do it if we're splintered off in many different directions. >> governor scott walker, great to have you here. thanks for joining us on this weekend. take care and look forward to seeing you soon. >> thank you, good to be with you, governor. so what's your solution to fix the gop? tom writes, quit the infighting. sit down and talk. have a realistic game plan. good idea, tom. we're going to try to do just

that when we return. stay with us. to do just that w to do just that w we return.

say, yeah, you know what, you're not exactly pleased with everything you're doing, but it's better than having pelosi and reid running the show? >> well, i would say that we all want to take back the senate. i don't think there's anybody who has caused as much obstruction as harry reid, but regardless of what matt and i say here, these people out in america have their own mind, and they're going to do what they want to do. and they do want to get rid of some people that are in office that are republicans that when they vote with the democrats sometimes more than they do with the republicans. and when you have those people, it waters down our brand, and we just cannot continue down this path. what is so refreshing about rand paul and ted cruz and mike lee is finally somebody is fighting. they're doing what they promised to do when they got to washington. and i think this cycle, we have an opportunity because in 2010, when we drove the messaging, we won across the board. in 2012, when the republican party drove the messaging, we lost. we can get back to what actually

is touching people's lives, and that is the economy and obamacare, and if we could stay focused on that, i think we can win in 2014. >> matt, what about -- some say the republicans in the senate. nobody voted for obamacare. nobody has voted for, let's say, a big tax increase in the senate right now that i'm aware of. where are the points in which we need to say, these republicans aren't good guys, we need to get rid of them? >> there's a long history of frustration in some of these primaries. both when we challenge an incumbent, and also when the gop stepment rallies around someone like charlie crist, who is now a democrat. and we have had this problem, trey greyson in kentucky, who mitch mcconnell got behind instead of rand paul. he's now the co-chairman of a democratic superpac. we need some competition. we need some accountability. some politicians are in office for too long.

i think that's part of what helps the republican party win. we win when we stand for something. we win when we're authentic. we win when grassroots america believes we say what we ran on. now, at the margin, we spend most of our money and most of our resources and our time going after democrats because they're the guys driving up the debt, they're the guys causing all the trouble, but i think we win when we support republicans who share those basic values. >> i mean, i believe in term limits. to me, the ultimate way to get rid of people who have been there too long is to say you can't be there too long because you have a limit and you have to go home. i think we need that, forever. >> there are senators that have been in washington almost as long as i have been alive. that's not -- that's not the way it should be. it is their policies that have gotten us into this mess. we cannot blame this entire mess on the democrats. that's a fact, that the republicans have contributed to it as well. and we need to change things.

it's not working. let's try something new. let's try some fresh ideas from some of these new guys that are out there, in touch with america. they breathe air that is outside of the washington d.c. bubble, and how nice is that? they're not drinking the potomac water. >> i think that's a good point. let's say you have a challenger. he doesn't win. should we then unite behind a person who is the nominee believing, look, may not be the perfect republican, but he's better than any of the democrats that, you know, might win if he doesn't? is that a valid thing to do? >> i think we should do that, but our sense, particularly since 2010, 2012, is that sometimes there's two sets of rules, because sometimes the tea party guy wins the primary and the establishment republican bolts the party and splits the vote. it happened in alaska. it happen eed in florida. it happens other places, and sometimes our activists feel like they're supposed to do the

right thing as long as the establishment gets their choice. but when we get our choice, sometimes the rules change. and there's some frustration there, for sure. >> absolutely. i think that's a fair assessment, and by the way, i fought the establishment diligently in a couple races, and i think you're 100% on. amy, matt, great to have both of you on. >> thank you. marsha prince says we have been labeled as cold and uncaring. we better change that perception visually and verbally. solutions to reunite the gop a at @huckabeeshow. coming up, why do conservative groups attack one republican and support another? we'll talk to the club for growth. i'll talk to someone for them when we come back. stay with us. i got this. no, i'll get it! no, let me get this. seriously. hey, let me get it. ah, uh. i don't want you to pay for this. it's not happening, honey. let her get it.

so we're talking about bringing the republican party together again. andy roth is executive vice president of club for growth. he joins us now from washington. i appreciate your being here because i think our audience needs to know, club for growth and me, we've had a little, you know, thing going here for a while. you know, you guys spend a lot of money and time coming after me before. i've reciprocated, but let's get to the hard facts. what is the criteria for the club? the club for growth? what is it you look for in a candidate if you're going to support them? is it donor driven or issue driven? >> first of all, thanks for having me. i would like to go back to a comment you made that i believe 100% in. that's that we shouldn't be attacking each other if we believe -- if we agree on 90% of the issues. in fact, the club for growth has a scorecard, a congressional

scorecard, and to receive a defender of economic freedom award from the club for growth, you have to get a 90% or above. so those are the kind of people that we would love to get elected to congress. when the club for growth finds a conservative challenger to an incumbent republican who does not have a 90%, they typically have something down in the 58%, 68%, like mike simpson in idaho, or senator thad cochran in mississippi. two republican incumbents who the club for growth pac is trying to remove from office. >> well, you know, i looked at some of the criteria, the things that club for growth stands for, and i said i agree with them. term limits, balanced budget, lower taxes, i said i agree with all of that. why does a guy like me or tomma thompson get targeted by club for growth. >> if we wanted to relitigate your record for governor, we could, but we went through it with a fine-tooth comb and found it was not a 90% or above record

that we like. that's simply the reason we opposed your candidacy for the presidency. >> hold on just a second, because sometimes when you look at it, you don't look at it in the context of having 89 out of 100 democrats in my house and 31 out of 35 democrats in the senate. i didn't get a lot of stuff i wanted. but i think if you looked at the context, you know, you guys judge me for some stuff i didn't even do. i remember a spot, and i don't want to go back and relitigate it, but i guess my point is, when the club for growth spends as much money going after a republican, does that do damage to that republican if in fact he or she wins the primary and then becomes, you know, basically beaten up before the general election? >> governor, i think a big difference between your view and my view is that you presume that all republicans are the 90% and above, and that we agree almost overwhelmingly on all sorts of issues. and i don't think that's the case. what matt and amy said before on the segment before, and what i

agree with, is that there are a lot of republicans that vote like democrats. and they're the ones that do damage to the gop brand. let's remember that nancy pelosi, harry reid, obama, they all came into power precisely because voters had enough of the gop during the bush years, with all of the profligate spending, the earmarks, new entitlements, new restrixzs on political free speech. it was enough for them, and they thought that the democrats could provide an alternative. when they found out the democrats were even worse, that's when the tea party movement came back and we started to reflourish. what i don't want us to do is go back to that old way, the bush years of more spending by the republicans. we need to consolidate the republican party around conservative principles, not liberal principles. >> do you think we would be better off winning the elections, and granted, you know, i don't disagree about the conservative principles because i personally think i hold to

them a whole lot more than some of the guys you did support, but my question is, if the guy you targeted doesn't win -- the guy you targeted wins the primary anyway, will the club say, okay, we lost the primary, but we're going to go ahead and try to help him win the general? is that the club's position, or do you leave the guy bleeding that you stuck? >> well, that's another presumption that's not correction. the club for growth is not an organization that backs all republicans in all elections just because we want a republican majority. we want a conservative majority. if we believe that the candidate running in the general election will fight for conservative values, yes, we'll support them over the democrat. if we don't believe that they will, then we won't. >> is there -- well, one final question. is there a criteria? something that a person could go to and say, yeah, this is what the club will stand for? is it the authenticity of that person's views, and who makes

this decision? is it a committee? i guess that's the question. who gets to decide what republican purity looks like? because that's been a question i have not had anybody help me understand. >> sure, if you go to the club for growth's website, you'll see we have a matrix of issues. they're just economic issues. taxes, spending, regulation, free trade. when we decide to indorse a candidate, there is a committee within the club for growth, and we have a stringent due diligence process where we interview the candidates involved, we do as much research and opposition research as possible. and then we make a decision based on the evidence that we found. >> andy, i really do appreciate your coming because i know, as i say, the club for growth and mike huckabee have not exactly been big pals. i would like to continue the conversation sometimes, and where we would really have time to relitigate some of those issues. would you do that with me? >> i would love to, governor. >> i would love to do that. thank you very much for coming

here. great to have you here. 2012, the president pulled our troops from iraq and claimed al qaeda was on the ropes. but now flags from the terrorist group are flying high in the iraqi cities of fallujah and ramadi. how do iraq war veterans feel about that? we'll find out because we're going to talk to them next. stay with us. find out as we tal a can of del monte green beans? ♪ ♪ if i was a flower growing wild and free ♪ ♪ all i'd want is you to be my sweet honeybee ♪ ♪ and if was a tree growing tall and green ♪ ♪ all i'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves ♪ grown in america. picked & packed at the peak of ripeness. the same essential nutrients as fresh. del monte. bursting with life™. open to innovation. open to ambition. open to boldids.

israeli citizens to leave gaza and eventually forced them out of their homes and communities. the sincerity of his intentions of giving up land with the hopes of peace didn't change the outcome of creating a more, i guess, friendly environment in gaza. nothing, however, will tarnish his reputation as one of israel's mightiest and most effective warriors and leaders. his life was a living sacrifice for the nation of israel that he loved and served. ariel sharon, dead at the age of 85. our prayers go out to his family. well, just two years after president obama announced the war on iraq was over, new developments have his administration under pressure to turn its attention back to iraq. >> the recent pictures of al qaeda forces re-entering fallujah are heartbreaking images for the brave u.s. military personnel who fought so hard to secure the area in 2004. fallujah became one of the

bloodiest and deadliest cities in the war in iraq. the intense street fighting led to more american deaths than in any other iraq province. by late 2004, the u.s. marines and its allies had successfully taken control of the city over the insurgents. >> right now, our focus is eliminating the rest of the weapons cashes that the insurgents were using against us, and primarily, to help transition so that the iraqi government can take control of fallujah, put in the iraqi security forces, the new police, and continue governing fallujah without the help of america. >> the u.s. military continued to have a presence in fallujah over the next seven years, working with the iraqi government forces in local tribes who helped the u.s. forces overtake al qaeda. in 2011, troop withdrawal began. by 2012, president obama spoke of victory. >> thanks to the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in iraq is over.

al qaeda has been decimated. >> today, with the al qaeda's presence being seen in fallujah, many are wondering what can be done to stop it and what does it mean to all those who fought so hard and sacrificed so much for its security. joining me now, two veterans from the war in iraq. retired lieutenant colonel steve russell who has also served in kosovo, kuwait, and afghanistan. he commanded a task force unit that was key in the hunt and capture of saddam hussein. he's the author of the book "be got him." also retired senior airman with the air force, brian colfag. he fought in iraq, lost both legs and an arm when his air base was attacked by rockets in 2004. colonel, let me begin with you. when you hear the video, the president says the war in iraq is over. now we're seeing al qaeda flag flying over fallujah and ramadi, your reaction? >> i think my reaction was much

the same as when the president refused to negotiate a status of forces agreement. anyone could see the problems that was going to create. you had unrest in germany after world war ii with werewolves and other organizations for years, but we maintained a presence there to secure a new government. the president opted to end the war for his own political purposes, not for the security of the region. and so it's very disheartening to see what's happened. >> brian, i look at you. you're in a wheelchair. you lost an arm, you lost both legs in the very place where now the al qaeda flag flies. i can't help but wonder, when you see that f then you read the comments that robert gates, former defense secretary, attributed to hillary clinton, where she says essentially that the policies, the decisions that were being made about iraq, admittedly, were political. not policy, not made in your

interest, but made for the best interest for the survival of the politicians. when you heard that, how did you respond? >> i thought it was pretty disgusting to see how these politicians are putting themselves forward instead of putting the people forward in our nation, and it seems like they're more about furthering their party and their own personal agenda than taking care of americans and, you know, our soldiers and our warriors who have given so much. i have lost a lot of friends in iraq. to see that flag flying is a disgrace. it's a disgray to see how they have also handled the war. >> do you feel -- are you angry? >> i guess you could say i'm angry. i'm angry at the whole system in general. i don't see how a lot of these politicians nowadays are handling what they do. they're not putting america first. and it seems to be the status quo, just general politics these days. i think people need to start putting americans first and, you

know, everyone involved in america needs to be priority number one, and it shouldn't be their personal agenda. if they're going to run for president or not. it should be the people. >> you left two of your legs and one of your arms in iraq. you sometimes ask yourself what was i there for? was this worth it? >> no, i never really ask myself that. i always kind of remain positive. i wouldn't take anything back at all. i mean, what happened to me changed my life and made me who i am today. so i'm just thankful that i'm alive. that's pretty much it. >> as we all are, and grateful you're alive, and grateful you have continued to love your country. >> thank you. >> even when your country may not have loved you as much as it should have. colonel, when i think about the policies that we've had, did we have a clear objective when we went into iraq, and did we achieve it? what was that objective? >> well, the policy that launched us into iraq was the iraqi liberation act. it was good policy when it was

signed by president clinton in 1998. it called for a regime change. we went in with very clear objectives. as a commander, i still remember them. overthrow saddam's army, defeat his government, defeat any forces in the field, set up the conditions for new government to come about. and then allow them to take control of their own country, and then we would become allies. we met all of those objectives. when the status of forces agreement was not negotiated, there was a vacuum created. >> and that would have allowed some americans to remain in iraq, both military and nonmilitary, to transition into a stronger government, which obviously, they were not prepared to take over their own security. >> they were not, and most of the senior leadership, as secretary gates, i'm sure, writes and as other service chiefs would attest, they wanted the status of forces agreement. it didn't mean we would be fighting forever. we had not been fighting in germany for the decades we've had troops in germany, but you have to take the longer view.

look, some people think that saddam made the trains run on time. what nonsense. he was evil. he killed 350,000 of his own countrymen. 20,000 of his own tribal political opponents. attacks every nation other than syria, and we know what a nice country they are. the man was evil. he used chemical weapons that gassed entire villages. it's one of the hallmarks of my live to have helped removing him. we can't be apologetic as americans for removing evil in the world. imagine the middle east today with saddam in play. brian and i, we have nothing to regret about what we did over there, nothing. >> brian, if you had the opportunity, if you bumped into hillary clinton, i would love to know what would you like to say to her? or to the president? >> i would tell them, you know, i think i could speak on behalf of most americans and say we're all disgraced with having her

represent us and represent the people because, you know, not only is she throwing all u.s. military under the bus, her and president obama, but it's just a disgrace. it's an embarrassment to the united states to have people in public talking about what they said. and i mean, it's uncalled for. and it's time for a change. americans need people who can represent them and their ideas rather than someone's own personal agenda. >> brian i'm going to say again, thank you, thank you for serving, thank you for being here. steve, great to have you back. appreciate your service to this country as well. an honor to have both of you here and being with us on our show. >> thank you for having us. how can you slow down crime in one of the most violent cities? detroit's mayor said let good citizens, at least some of them, have guns. he'll explain why he feels that way when we come back. stay with us. s you on your toes.

depending on what list you check, detroit is either number one or number two on the list of most dangerous cities in america for the past few years. in 2013, under detroit's police chief, james craig, the motor city's homicide rate has dropped from 14% from the previous year. there was a 7% reduction in overall crime. chief craig says one of the ways to stop gun violence may be to put guns into the hands of

law-abiding citizens. and he joins us now from detroit. it's an honor troohave you here. thank you for talking to us. >> thank you. glad to be here. i appreciate it. >> thank you. i know you have never taken the position, okay, everybody ought to have a gun, but what you're saying is people who are trained and people who are responsible might be able to protect themselves if they had firearms. why do you think that could make a difference in the crime rate in cities like detroit? >> i can tell you story after story in my short time here, where individuals with guns have had to confront armed assailants. you know, we have 91-year-old men being dragged out of their cars at gunpoint. we have good samaritans going to the aid of citizens that are confronted by these armed suspects. and there's a firefight. i'm not suggesting, as you pointed out, that everybody should have a gun. but those people, good detroiters who are committed to a safe city, that are

responsible, it does make a difference. in fact, department of justice revealed research that that's one of the biggest deterrents to evading violence, is armed citizens. because we know -- >> but chief, it's almost as if the department of justice and so many people have done everything they can to keep people from being -- i mean, law-abiding citizens from owning firearms and being able to protect themselves. i'm sure there were people who were upset with you when you made the comments you did. did you get some pushback from that? >> certainly, i got pushback, but i have a unique perspective. i have been a police chief now my third city. i have been in different locales. in l.a. and maine was the turning point for me. and while i recognize and many chiefs in other larger cities with violence reduction can talk

about their crime statistics and data driven and that does work. detroit now operates very much like la with comstat like new york, and again, we have a we have a violent culture here in detroit. probably unlike a lot of other places. now, i'm excited about the fact that we're seeing a 17% downturn in homicide last year. i only wish i could have been here at the start of the year. we would not have cracked 300 homicides, but i also know the violent felons that are out in the streets, they're more concerned about armed citizens than they are armed police. why do i say that? because one, we made arrested with suspects who wear body armor. are they wearing body armor for police officers? maybe they wear it to protect themselves from other violent criminals, but they also wear body armor because they know good citizens are armed. they also, the suspects, they on occasion will cause the victims to disrobe because they want to

determine whether or not that citizen is armed with a gun. so believe me, you know, research bears this out. this is not just james craig, but i do have the professional experience to make that kind of assessment. >> well, and it's working. chief, i appreciate very much your being here. and for the success that you're seeing in making detroit a safer and a better city, and we're grateful fto you for all the efforts you make. thank you for being here. >> thank you. country music singer sammy kershaw joins the little walkers for one of his biggest hits. that's coming up next. stay with us. hits. that's next. welcome back. how is everything? there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title.
