huckabee. >> tonight on huckabee. he will use his pen to sign excutive orders, the president changed his tune with the way s nsa collects issue. >> and mitch mcconnell reacts. millions of credit cards hacked. and who pays the bill? jerry wulis has the advice. plus, she had a choice, keep her unborn baby or her eye sight. her decision on huckabee tonight.
2:01 am
>> ladies and gentlemen. governor mike huckabee. (applause) >> 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 will descend on washington d.c. in the annual march for life. if i hadn't just told you about it, you probably wouldn't have heard approximate. it you know, let a dozen or so occupy wall street protestors set up camp on the washington mall it will get attention on the nightly news and make the front page of the new york types and washington post. 250,000 pro-life advocates, will at best get a brief mention. implying that right- wing nuts are engaged on a war on women. and a better than even chance, the group will be labelled 18-
2:02 am
abortion throw it deserves the moniker of pro-life. if they are anti- abortion, does that make the opposition pro abortion instead of pro-choice. they believe in choice as long as it is to end the life of a baby. but if a mother chooses to be a mother and give birth is that making herselfish and stupid and enslaved? the rock stars and republican consulting tell candidates not to discuss the issue of safrpthity of life for fear of offending the women voters. the dpop genius fail to recognize just because they can't defend the life position doesn't mean some of us can't. the ridiculous claim that pro-life is a war on women is an insult of millions of people who make extraordinary sacrifices for their women. and democrats to reduce women
2:03 am
for cheap beggars of birth control is demeaning. women i know also have brains and they use them creativity and effectively and they can manage everything from a business to a household. democrats pushing the war on women nonsense, 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. the women are equal can worth as well as the value. and it is why i appreciate strong women like sarah foster who heads an organization women for life. and ceo of susan b though though fund. they don't want to be men tourized or marginized and incapable of responsibility for
2:04 am
the unique and noble abilities as women. they understand that real power for a woman is to give life and not to take it. the good news is, increasing numbers of young women are decidedly pro-life. in part, believing that life has values from the origins is consistent with solid science and in part they recognizing devaluing any life is hardly the means to elevate women. for th republican consultants, look at the example of rhoins preuous who will delay the meeting so that national committee members can participate in the march for life. he's demonstrated that the best way to counter the democrat's phony charge of a war on women, is to lead in the war for women. all women. ine the ones yet to be born.
2:05 am
(applause) well in announcing the proposed chaefrjs to the nsa surveillance program on friday, president obama wants to work with leaders on capitol hill. >> i will consult william relevant committees in congress to seek their views. and then seek congressional authorization for the new program as needed. >> now that is a surrounding statement from the president considering what he said earlier before the first cabinet meeting of the year. >> we are not just going to wait for legislation in order to make sure that we are providing americans the help they need. i have a pen and i have a phone. i can sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions. >> okay, will he or won't he work for congress. here is mitch mcconnell of
2:06 am
kentucky. the president said he can do it on his own. and last week he said he really wants to work with congress. which president do you believe is telling the truth? >> we get both versions are you tonely. he would be smart to work with congress. everybody is concerned about their privacy, but we are concerned about avoiding another 9/11 attack and a number of the techniques that we developed in the last ten years have prevented those attacks and i think we can meet the balance between americans understandably concerned about their privacy and still protecting united states from another terrorist attack. he would be smart rather than doing that by himself to engage congress. we all have the same goal here. how do you square the two concerns? privacy on one hand versus protecting the public from a terrorist attack on the other.
2:07 am
>> and there is a article you wrote in politicalo and you wrote about the challenges in the senate. notable harry reid's heavy hand approach to cutting off debate is taking away the intent of what our founders meant for the senate. can it be fixed? >> yes, one person could fix. it if i were a majority leader of the senate i could fix it. (applause) >> because what he has done, governor, there is a parlimitary tech teak to the majority leader to prevent the marinity and his own members from getting amendments. and to show you how bad it is in the senate, republicans have had four roll call votes on amendments they cared about in july in six months. the senate used to be a free
2:08 am
flowing place in which all peoples ideas were considered. and ultimately the process worked over 200 years and one person, the majority leader of the senate has turned the senate in a place where you can't get your amendments voted on. and what that means on, those of us all over the country who represent people are not begin an opportunity to present the ideas of the people from the states that we come from. it can change with just one move and that is for the american people to elect a republican majority of the united states senate. i promise we will open you want the amendments ourselves. >> you certainly convinced our audience here. we need to disclose to our television audience. i have endorsed you in the reelection bid and i would like to see you as the majority leader instead of the minority
2:09 am
leader. if you were in the role, would you reverse the nuclear option that was invoked by the harry reid and the democrats, that took away the voice of the moirnity something that was traditionally upheld in all of american history. >> they broke the rules of the senate to change the rules of the senate. it is a big deal and didn't get a lot of press, but it is a big deal and consistent with what the president did a couple of years ago when he decided we were not in session when we were in session and issued what was called a recess appointment. we had a hearing before the supreme court just this week, governor, and when a lana ka ga n and sonya sotomayor are pounding the government's lawyers there is a good chance with the supreme court with a broad margin will slap down the president's attempt to
2:10 am
declare -- (applause) what he was doing in effect he got to decide when we were in session. ine elenna ka ga n was not buying that. he will be slapped down and we'll run the senate with a new majority and open and respectful way of the process and still america right and center. (applause) >> senator you took action to protect the coal industry in kentucky and virginia. many states where coal is critical. what action are you trying to take to stop the epa for what is nothing less than a heavy handed approach to destroy the coal industry in america? >> it is tragic, we have a depression, not a recession, but a depression in central aplatchia and lost five this happened of the 18,000 coal moining jobs in my state.
2:11 am
for every coal mining job you lose, you lose throw more. a depression created by this administration and epa. they are issuing a regulation governor, will guarantee there will not be a coal fired plant built in america. that is 40 percent of our electricity. coal keeps the lights on. what we are doing, is implementing what is called the congressional review process to try to overturn that regulation. i am not optimistic that the president would sign it if we put it on his desk but we'll try. the only way to end the depression is have a new president and a new administration and i am optmistec we'll get that in three years. >> i am hoping and a hope that will happen. senator great to have you here and thank you for joining us today. it is it a role pleasure. >> that coal issue affects you.

insurance. $2,500 per family less expensive. none of those things have been true. also promised more competition and more companies would rush into the marketplace to offer. in ohio, for example, what's happened? have more people come to the marketplace? >> unfortunately, just the opposite. we have less consumer choice and we have less competition. on the exchange, in ohio prior to the exchange, we had 60 company cans selling individual health insurance. >> 60? >> 60. on the exchange we have 12. >> whoa, so only one in five of the companies selling insurance before are now still in the marketplace? >> yes. on the exchange. and it's unfortunate. premiums went up 41% on average in our individual market. our small group premiums went up on average 18%. prices went up. consumer choice went down and competition decreased. >> everything that was supposed to happen has not happened. now, i think a lot of people who have ever worked in state government i felt this way and you probably did too, you saw that coming.

you could understand there was not going to be the panacea, this fix for everything. whats were the danger signs from the beginning that this administration simply didn't pay attention to? >> all of the new mandates. we talked earlier about having to -- for you having to have pregnancy coverage for example. >> you never know, i mean, mary, who knows. >> well, you never know. >> i think i do. in this case i think i do. >> but, in this case, it doesn't make sense. we all intuitively know that does not make sense. yet, we all have to have coverage we don't want, can't need, can't afford. when you lay out a program that's forcing everybody to have a one size fits all resolution we are not one size fits all people. there is just no way it can be successful. >> when the insurance companies are told okay, you you can't offer this policy and then the president comes back right at the end of the year you know what? , go ahead and offer it anyway. why is that impractical? is a lot of things that have to happen behind the scenes. >> when the insurance

companies praising the products they made a decision and projection about who was going to purchase in the exchange, for example. that completely throws off their numbers which means premiums are going to go up even more for individuals purchasing on the exchange much the plans may not be available anymore. they expected not to continue these plans. it's very likely that the plans aren't even there. >> do you think there will be a major change to obamacare, repeal? just big tweaks and changes? what's the future likely to hold? >> well, my hope is that it would be repealed and replaced. [cheers and applause] >> at a minimum. it would be nice if we could get some changes. >> well, one thing about it, it has not lived up to all the things it is posed to be. we are not talking about the web site but the program itself and how challenging it is. if this whole thing fails, would that put us toward a single payer system? >> i think it's a little bit too early to predict that at this point. but what i would like to see is if this thing fails it's

not going to work. and this is closer to saying gel payer system than where we are today. if this isn't going to work and it's not so fashion then let's go back to giving states flexibility, like ohio, let us make decisions about what's best for our consumers. [ applause ] >> and open up the marketplace again. >> what a novel idea. let the states govern themselves. i like that idea. mary, thank you so much for being here. great to have you. >> thank you. i will be back with closing thoughts right after this. stay with us.

not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis ifyou have an artificial heart valve abnormal bleing. while taking eliquis, yomay bruise more easily and it m take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.

if eliquis is right for you. 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. 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 thanks for joining us tonight. from new york, i'm mike huckabee and justice with judge jeanine pirro is next. have a great weekend.
