8:00 pm
huckabee. >> tonight on huckabee. he tonight on "huckabee" days after he said he would use his pen to sign executive orders without congress, the president changed his tune abut the way the nsa collects your information. can republicans in congress work with the president? senate minority leader mitch mcconnell reacts. >> and millions of americans credit cards hacked. who is paying the bill? how can you protect your credit from thieves? >> plus, she had a choice -- keep her unborn baby, or her eyesight. her decision on huckabee tonight!
8:01 pm
>> thank you very much. thank you. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. this week a couple hundred thousand people are going to descend on washington, d.c. in the annual march for life. if i hadn't just told you about it, you probably would have never heard about it. you know, let a dozen or so occupy wall street protesters set up camp on the washingtushs mall it will get attention on the nightly news, and make the front pages of "the new york post." pro-life advocates will get a brief mention, implying that a bunch of right-wing nuts are engaged in a war on women. a better than even chance that the group is going to be labeled
8:02 pm
as anti-abortion. though it prefers and deserves the moniker pro-life. if they are anti-abortion, does that make the opposition pro-abortion. instead of pro-choice. it would appear that abortion advocates believe in choice, so long as the choice is to end the life of the baby. but if a mother chooses to be a mother, and give birth, does that make her selfish. stupid? or enslaved? it doesn't help that some of the supposed rock stars of republican consulting tell candidates not to even discuss issues like life, for fear of offending women voters. now, what those gop geniuses fail to recognize is that just because they can't defend the life position, it doesn't mean that some of us can't. the claim that a pro-life position is a war on women is an insult to the millions of women who make extraordinary sacrifices for their children.
8:03 pm
for democrats to reduce women to beggars for cheap, government funded birth control is demeaning to the women that i know who are far more complicated than their libido and management of their reproductive system. women i know have brains and use them creatively and effectively. they can manage a business to a household. democrats pushing this war on women nonsense well they pretend that women are helpless and hopeless unless the government pays for abortion and birth control. treating women as victims of their gender is outrageous. and that's the opposite of an appropriate respect for women as equal in worth as well as value. it's why i appreciate strong women, like saran foster, who head feminists for life, or marjorie danenfelzer. these are women who want no part of being miniaturized or marginalized as incapable of
8:04 pm
responsibility for their unique and noble abilities as women. they understand that real power for a woman is to give life, not to take it. the the good news is that increasing numbers of younger women are decidedly pro-life. in part, because believing that life has value from its origins, is consistent with solid science. and in part, because they recognize that devaluing any life is hardly the means to elevate women. for the timid, hand wringing republican republican consultants afraid to take a stand for life, look instead at admirable example of rnc chairman who this week will delay the convening of the rnc winter meeting so national committee members can participate in the march for life. he has demonstrated that the best way to counter this democrat's phony charge of a war on women, is to lead in the war for women.
8:05 pm
all women. even the ones yet to be born. in announcing his proposed changes new the program friday. president obama said he wants to work with leaders on capitol hill. >> i will consult with the relevant committees in congress to seek their views. and then seek congressioncongre authorization for the program. >> surprising statement from the president considering what he said earlier this week before his first cabinet meeting of the year. we are not just waiting for legislation in order to make sure we are providing americans the kind of help that they need. i have got a pen, and a phone. and i can use that pen to sign executive orders. and take executive actions and administrative actions.
8:06 pm
and mitch mcconnell of kentucky. senator, good to have you back on the show. which president do you believe is telling us the truth? >> yeah, well, we get, both versions, routinely. i think he would be smart to work with congress. look, everybody is concerned about their privacy. we are also concerned about avoiding another, 9/11 attack. a number of the techniques we developed in the last ten years have prevented those attacks. i think we can meet the balance between americans understandably high concern about their privacy and still protecting us from another terrorist attack. he would be smart, rather than doing it himself. to engage congress. i think we all have the same gel here. how do you, how do you square these two concerns. privacy on the one hand.
8:07 pm
versus, protecting the public from terrorist attack on the other. there is an article that you wrote this week in politico and challenges in the senate. harry reed's heavy hand approach to cutting off debate is taking away the intent of what our founders meant for the senate. yeah, it can be fixed. one person can fix it. if i was the leader of the senate next year, instead of harry reid. i could fix it. what he has done, there is a parliamentary technique available to the majority leader who ever that is to prevent the minority for r ththat matter hin members from getting amendment to. show you how bad it has been in the senate. republicans have had four role call votes on amendments they
8:08 pm
cared about in six months. senate used to be a free flowing place for the minority and majority in which all people's idea were considered. and ultimately, somehow, the process worked. it worked for over 200 years. one person, the majority leader of the senate, has turned the senate into a place where you can't, can't, get your amendments voted on. what that means is those of us, all across the country who represent people, are not, not being given an opportunity to present the idea of the people from the states that we come from. it can change, with just, one move, for the american people to elect a new majority. a republican majority of the united states senate. >> you convinced our audience here, senator. by the way, i kneneed to disclo our television audience. don't want any body to be misled. i endorsed you. i would like to see you as the
8:09 pm
majority leader instead of the minority leader. if you were in the role. would you reverse the policy of the nuclear option invoked by harry reid and the democrats? that really did take away the voice of the minority. something that had been respected and, and traditionally upheld throughout all of american history? what they did, break the rule of the senate to change the rules of the senate. big deal. didn't get a lot of press the a very big deal. this is consistent with what the president did a couple years ago. when he decided we were not in session when we were in session. issued what we called a recess appointment. we had a hearing before the supreme court this week, governor. when even they're pounding the government's lawyers, i think there is a good chance the united states supreme court, with a very broad margin, is going to slap down the
8:10 pm
president's attempt to -- >> what he was doing in effect saying that he got to decide when we were in session. i think the president is going to be slapped down. we are going to run the senate next year with a new majority. in a more open respectful way of the process. and still move america right of center. >> senator, this week, you have taken action to protect the coalen dus trcoal coal industry. virginia, west virginia. many states where coal is critical. what action are you taking to stop the epa from what is nothing less than a heavy handed approach to destroy the coal industry in america? >> yeah, tragic. we have got a -- a depression. not a recession. a depression. in central appalachia. we have lost 5,000 out of 18,000
8:11 pm
coal mine, coal mining jobs. and in my state. for every coal mining job you lose, you lose three more. a depression. created by this administration. and the epa. they're issuing a regulation, governor. that, if it goes through, will guarantee that there will never be another coal fired plant built in america. that's 40% of our electricity. you know, coal keeps, keeps the lights on. what we are doing is implementing a congressional review process that will overturn the not -- not optimistic that the president will sign it. we will try. only way to end the depression, is to have a new president, a new administration, i am optimisting that we will get that in two years. >> i am hoping. i think a lot of other people are that will happen. senator, great to have you here. thank you for joining us today. a real pleasure. >> thank you, governor, i really appreciate it. >> by the way the coal issue is
8:12 pm
one that affects you. your electric bill. so, it does matter to every american whether you live in a coal state or not. >> more than 100 million americans have their credit cards hacked. i wonder if paying by credit card is even safe anymore. should you be using cash instead? fox business network's geri willis will address your concerns soap y you better stic around. stay with us. there's a saying around here, you stand behind what you say. around here you don't make excuses. you make commitments. and when you can't live up to them, you own up, and make it right. so people think the kind of accountability has gone missing in e placesets where it's needemost. but i know you'll still find it when you know where to look.
8:13 pm
8:14 pm
but there are some places even mr. can doest want to lug a whole bunch of cleaning supplies. that's why he created the magic eraser ext power. just one eraser's versatile enough to clean all kinds of different sfaces and three times more grime per swipe. so insad of fussing with rags and ckets, you can get back to the great outdoors, which can be pretty great. that'shy when it comes to clean, there's only one mr. [ bird screeches ] let's see what you got. rv -- covered. why would you pay for a hotel? i never do.
8:15 pm
motorcycles -- check. atv. i ride those. do you? no. boat. ahoy, mateys. house? hello, dear. hello. hello. van with airbrushed fire-breathing dragons. ah! check. thank you. the more you bundle, the more you save. now, that's progressive. >> shoppers weren't the only ones busy this past holiday. hackers took advantage of the buying frenzy and scammed millions. major retailers, neiman marcus and target confirmed mid december security breach. finding the customers' credit card data compromised. target's breach affected more than 100 million customers.
8:16 pm
last month target reported hackers compromised the security of 40 million credit and debit card users. this week it was announced it affected an additional 70 million people. that means the security attack impacted one in three americans. the breach not only stole credit card information, including card number, expiration date and code, but also contained data, home adresses, e-mails and telephone numbers. target ceo has assured customers, target will cover the cost of any fraudulent. >> zero liability, means target is paying for any fraudulent, impassible fraudulent activity on anybody's credit card. target claims the hackers obtained it through malware in the credit card reading system. >> several banks, bank of america and citibank are sending customers new dibt aebit and cr
8:17 pm
card due to the hack. joining me to break down details, fox business networks gerri willis. great to have you here. let's get right to it. should we stop using credit card? >> yes, maybe. let me till you. several options as a consumer. a, one, use more cash. not every family can do that. a lot of families use credit card to bridge the gachlt p. if you can, do. use fewer credit card. an expert on my show say you need to check your credit card every day. if you have 15 of them. hard to do. i recently got wind of the super chip and pen cards. which will proprotect. >> explain super chip and pen. >> emv card, smart card, chip and pen, a microchip imbedded in the card it does a much better job of protecting your personal information you. know we took a recent look recently at how many times your information flows through the system with just one credit card
8:18 pm
purchase. 12 times. 12 people exchange your information. that's a lot of opportunity for hackers to get your stuff. >> so this card, how do you get one of those opposed to the magnetic strip? >> tough in this country. it is not the rule. my credit c for one. i got one. but it's not what everybody is doing. because of the cost. some $2 billion to turn the country over to chip and pen. they just don't want to spend the money. >> a lot of money. how much did target lose over the hacking into their system and all their customers? >> buy their estimates, would be something like there 80 million. but kid aconsider all the effec. lost $2 billion in market value. others, banks had to send out card all over the country. some millions and millions of cards. very expensive. i think you probably heard about the other hacks that have gone on. six retailers, may have been hacked at the same time. now, if that's true. the estimates are the total
8:19 pm
losses to the system. banks and retailers, $180,000 billion. >> $2 billion to fix it. spend $180 billion. that makes one wonder why don't we go ahead and go to a better system? >> i wish i could answer the question. i've don't have a good answer for that. i asked retailers. i've asked bankers. they're just not ready to pony up the dough. there is a rule that is coming to effect in another year in 2015. supposed to upgrade. but it's not a federal law. not a legal requirement. a promise to upgrade these cards. this incident could be the tipping point now. that forces these issuers to start upgrading the cards. >> other countries use the cards already. >> north korea. north korea. >> come on. they eat grass over there. they don't have food. >> it is true. in pyongyang. if you have a credit card in north korea you have a safer card than the usa. if you are french. the europeans all use this technology. >> when a credit card hacker
8:20 pm
gets into a system like target, they certainly, you know we know that they get the credit card information. what other information about the consumer might they bow abe abl have? >> your street address. where you live. personal information about how much you spend. but kid this. target has pharmacy cards which a lot of people use. you have all your medical information on that. what if they get that? that will be a lot of detail, what kind of drugs you use? they might try to steal information about that. they can replicate, that information, and essentially get drugs on your dime. >> i don't guess i'll be pulling out my credit card any time soon. actually i probably will. does make me wonder. and makes me realize we need to get a better system in place. jerry willis. thank you for being here. great information. the senate committee makes its conclusions on the benghazi attack. a movie mogul that thinks he will take out the nra with a
8:21 pm
movie. the "notable, quotables" that's next. we'll be right back. turn to the ah, actually i think my eyes might ha... next! digital insurance id cards. just a tap away on the geico app. could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know that when a tree falls in the forest and no one's around, it does make a sound? ohhh...ugh. geico. little help here. is a really big deal.u with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant,
8:22 pm
nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. so don't wait. attack the flu virus at its source. ask your doctor about tamiflu, prescription for flu.

>> retired senator joe looby >> retired senator joe lieberman tells it like it is. especially when it comes to the war on terror. this week he warned that the obama administration doesn't have a coherent anti-terror plan for syria or iraq or libya. that's causing concern among our allies. >> across the middle east and beyond, the credibility of american leadership is being questioned as it has not been for a very long time. among friends and enemies alike. there are doubts about our staying power. question as but our reliability as an ally and suspicions at the end of the day america will hesitate to back up our promises and historic commitments with
8:25 pm
the use of force if necessary in a dangerous world. >> how refreshing to hear a member of, former member in this case of the united states senate, being straight forward about the, the disasters of our foreign policy. say what you will about joe lieberman. one thing i have always appreciated. is his steadfast commitment to understanding the very delicate nature of what is going on in the middle east. he recognizes that what we have done there is sell out our friend and try to make peace with enemies. what we have done, busted trust with our friend. we have done nothing to gain the respect or the fear of our enemies. they dance in the streets in tehran, believing that they have won the philosophical battle with the americans. and in the meantime, the friend that we have had in israel, and in saudi arabia, no longer trust us. and why would they? thank you, keep up the good work. well after countless congressional hearings on the
8:26 pm
benghazi consulate attack that killed four americans. the senate intelligence committeer e e e committeer -- committeeished to a sobering report. it said the attacks were preventible, reporting on the terrorist activity in libya to include threats and attack against western targets and given the known security short falls at the u.s. mission. for months we have tried to get information, honest answers about what happened in benghazi. we now know at least this much -- it could have been, could have been prevented. now the question -- if it could have been, why wasn't it? who is responsible? and will they ever be held accountable for the deaths of those four americans. as long as i have the picture of tyrone woods one of the four murdered that night, righten my studio at home. right in front of me. i look at it every day. i promise, i will not forget to
8:27 pm
continue to demand we get ans ears but benghazi and every american should join with me in insisting that we find out what really happened and who is responsible. well, this week -- movie mogul harvey winestein went on howard stern's radio show talking about a project based on a novel about a holocaust uprising. he told howard stern said the only justification for using a gun is moving half a million people into auschwitz. i don't think we need guns in this country. i hate it. i think the nra is a disaster area. i am going to make a movie. shouldn't say it, but tell you. make a movie, with meryl streep. take the issue head on. they're going to wish they weren't alive after i am done with them. >> ooh. i'm sure they're scared at nra headquarters right now. one thing that harvey did say
8:28 pm
that was right. he said, i shouldn't have said this, howard. he shouldn't have said it. [ applause ] >> let me tell you why. as -- as a life member of the nra, can i just tell it, something, to harvey, i don't think any of the members of the nr have? are afraid of you. we are afraid of a disarmed america where the only people whoen end up having guns is bad guys with guns. nra position is simple. straight forward. the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun who can stop him. because you are not going to stop a bad guy with a gun by saying, please, please, don't do that. well, ever say to some one it is funny because it is true. ladies and gentlemen, i give you this. courtesy of jimmy kimmel. >> just to make sure the younger people do soon up, the obama administration is rolling out a new ad campaign that is targ egted segt
8:29 pm
egt -- targeted at the young. >> i'm alex and this is marsha. >> i take blood pressure medication. >> and beta blockers. >> fortunately we don't have to pay for it. >> no, you do. >> you young people are paying for our drugs and doctors. >> not to mention our social security and medicare when we retire to boca. you know why? >> because you don't vote. >> and we do. >> hope you enjoy that burning guy festival. >> come on, let's find that. >> the affordable care act. maybe next time pick up a newspaper. >> yeah, pick up a newspaper. >> and a ballot. i said the people who can change policy are the people who vote. you don't vote. you don't have a voice. by the way, interesting to note when the late night comediennes are no longer afraid to take on president obama and obama care, he and his health care program are in real trouble. and they are.
8:30 pm
[ applause ] >> doctors at a hospital in texas are keeping a brain dead pregnant woman on life support. her family wants to take her off saying that all it is doing is damaging her body and the unborn baby. next, we are going to speak to a woman who had to make a similar life-and-death decision. you night wamight want to stay for this. we'll be right back. nouncer ] here's a question for you: is your tv powered by coal? natural gas? nuclear? or renewables like solar... and wind? let's find out. this is where america's electricity comes from. a diversity of energy sources helps ensure the electricity we need is reliable. take the energy quiz. energy lives here.

term damage to the baby. joining me now is a woman who had to make a tough choice when she was pregnant. gail mcwilliams was told by her doctor if she continued to carry her unborn second child, she would go blind. and he strongly advised her to terminate the preg nnancy. gail gave birth to her daughter lindy over her eyesight. author of "seeing beyond" and joins me now. gail, the decision that the doctor put in front of you. was one most of us can't begin to comprehend. he said if you carry this bobby to term, you will go blind. and he urged you to abort your daughter. was it an easy decision to make, i will keep the baby. >> no, a very difficult decision. it wasn't just, that decision, because we have a total of five children. so it was a decision with each of our children. where i gradually lost my
8:36 pm
eyesight. but the day that the doctor said gail you have to choose today between your baby and your eyes. governor, i can tell you there was nothing that ever prepared me for the moment. i remembered a massage i memorized as a young girl about choices. life and death in front of me and that life was the better choice. and that's haul i had to go on. i didn't know the consequences. i really didn't know what the results would be. is always a gift. i know that life is the best choice. you knew full well, gail if you carried this baby to term, that there was a very strong likelihood that you would lose your eyesight. this would be a bab yy you woul never see with your own human eyes. >> that makes it difficult. there are consequences to the decision i made. but in the middle of all of it, i found something. i found that vision was my
8:37 pm
darkest hour. that's really what we have to have. a vision for the generations yet to come. if you are asking me how did i choose between convenience and legacy, legacy wins hands down, every time. and so -- governor, i tried to focus on not what i have lost, but what i have gained. >> uh-huh. >> what i have gained is the potential for the next generation. >> we had a picture on the screen behind us. a picture of that daughter and her daughter. your granddaughter. so, generations now are coming after you, gail, that would never have been had you made a different decision. i understand that the doctor even was angry at you, and, chided you for making the decis. tell me. >> he said you have to choose. i said i choose my baby. the doctor stood up, and slammed shut my folder said what a foolish key sdecision. he left the room. i sat alone.
8:38 pm
the core in me. pillar. anger. became my come pass. it's that passage. to choose life. and i knew that life was the gift. i had no idea the detales ils o what would happen. no idea it would bring me to meet you. to experience. tell everyone, we have to quit living life based on what we see. based on what we see is limited. definitely discouraging. disappointing at times. that's the difference with vision. and i am not sure what has happened in america that we can't see the value of life. life its a gift. life its to be valued. inconvenient moments. yes. always concerns with a parent that your child will be okay? yes. is there love even when your child has some kind of handicap or chalen th elenge they work t? yes. life tips be valued no matter what. my concern ills ts the child wi. people valuing our lives now. valuing your life, governor. you have been strategically

8:44 pm
our children. but i think that i would encourage him, about the vision of the potential of the next generation. that in the middle of great loss has come this gift. and it will, this gift has the potential to go beyond. it is a legacy piece. to go beyond what they have lost. >> kind of look when i look at the picture of your daughter and your granddaughter. if you had made a different decision. that picture wouldn't exist. that picture wouldn't be available for us to put on the screen. your story wouldn't be the story. you and i wouldn't be talking because you would have gone on and lived your life with eyesight and you would have never told the story. but i, just find myself remarkably impressed that you are not angry at, that young man in texas. you don't speak to him with the sense of judgment. >> no. >> but with love and compassion for him for the tough decision he faces. >> this is a difficult decision. truth of the matter is, his wife is giving to him a gift. and it's taken her very last
8:45 pm
breath to do so. a noble act. i am sure he has many around him, supporting him. just to pull the plug the i've would look to believe, governor that even when we make statements, what i want at the end of our lives. some times there are twists and turns we never know. i never wanted to be a woman that couldn't see. you know what i have realized? i have been dropped into a blind world. we lost sight of of what is really important. and we only see life based on what we see. but there is more to it. and so many times we fail to see the potential. and especially the treasure of this particular moment. that we have been stra stategicically positioned. in the middle of all of it, is there hardship, yes? there is also joyen the journ i journey. some one asked me, gail, how can you have so much joy and not see. i said how can you see and hatch no joy? it is about a choice. choosing life. >> i don't so what any one could say that could be more powerful. gail to see the radiance of your face is to see a person who only lost sight, but did not lose

monday is going to be the official observance and holiday honoring dr. martin luther king jr. i'm not sure dr. king would be comfortable with his birthday being marked by people taking the day off. his life was not about taking days off but taking days on. and he took on a lot of days, days of injustice, days of racism.
8:59 pm
days of double standards and days of persecution. his life was not about taking holidays but about taking the heat for trying to change attitudes in the culture. he might even be amused that banks that would have once refused to given a loan to a man of color are now closed in honor of a man of color. [ applause ] that a federal government that once spied on his private life would now shut down for a day to remember it. and that schools that once would have refused to allow his children to enter their doors would now dedicate a day of study about the impact of his life. not many presidents have changed the world as dramatically did dr. king. the country will now take a day off to remember him. let's hope that it's not just a day off. let it be a day on. on for being kind to others. on for not retaliating in anger or violence, and on to working hard to serve others
