washington, d.c. right now. >> of course, all of us remember president dole. and president mccain and president romney. look, those are good men, they are decent men. but when you don't stand and draw a clear distinction. when you don't stand for principle democrats celebrate. >> they have spent five long years in power and all they have to show for it is this lousy web site. we have to stop letting the media define who we are and what we stand for. >> get out of the healthcare business. get out of the education business. stop hammering industry. let the sleeping giant of american enterprise create prosperity again. >> joining me now for new york is governor mike huckabee a fox news anchor who spoke at cpac and is himself considering a presidential run. all right, governor, before we get started, i want to play a clip from your speech

earlier today where you took on democratic frontrunner hillary clinton. >> i also know that four americans were murdered at benghazi and our government lied to us as to what happened. and i know it had not one thing to do with some ridiculous video and i know something else. with all due respect to hillary clinton. it does make a difference why they died and who did it. >> great response from the crowd. no doubt about it the issue of benghazi is so important. conservative movement. and heart breaking so some. look at the hillary clinton question and strength and weaknesses. let's say someone like you runs against her, both from arkansas obviously. and she -- she will probably say something like well, the last g.o.p. administration, two term administration basically was a disaster. the president went out of office the very low approval

rating. we ran up the debt. we ran up the deficit war weary, and the country government. how would you respond to that? >> well, let's see after eight years of obama, we will greatly have increased the debt more than we ever have in our lives. we will be exhausted militarily. we will have lost most of the respect we ever had in the world. not one country on the planet laura where we are respected more than we were when barack obama took office. she has her fingerprints on foreign policy secretary of state. not that we are going to have to defend previous presidents. she will have to defend her record with this administration. she is smart and articulate but she is vulnerable. this benghazi issue is not going to go away especially if people like me have anything to do with it for one thing, i have made a promise to people like charles wood whose son was killed in benghazi, his son tyrone and to pat smith whose son sean smith were

murdered that night and nobody has answered for it yet. and we can't let this go until we get the truth of what happened do you think the people of this country the broad base of people are going to vote on the basis of benghazi? i mean, i care deeply about it and i know you do as well. >> yeah. >> they're voting on gallup poll a few weeks ago demonstrates this again jobs in the economy. going to talk about this next segment. the more republicans kind of latch on to the foreign policy question and make this about putin or ukraine or egypt or libya, i say it's a real risk that we go back to what mccain tried to do in 2008 which was a collosal flop or to what some extent romney tried to do in the last election rather than focus on jobs, economy, obama care, a new growth agenda for america and that middle class that you talked about so powerfully in your first presidential run. bringing that middle class back versus more of the foreign policy focus. >> if we can communicate to the working class people.

go home from work and lifted heavy things. their muscles are tired and they have sweated through their clothes. when we can explain how a republican-led true conservative leadership gives them power to do for their families. -- we are going to win the election. if we can't communicate that then i agree with you things like benghazi don't matter. you go to the restaurant, open up the menu and more than one thing on that menu. i think republicans can open up a menu and we have more one than one item to be able to talk about. benghazi is not the only thing, it's not the lead thing, but here's what it does really represent. it represents whether we can trust hillary clinton to pick up the phone at 3:00 in the morning like her ad from 2008 said and if we find out that when she picks it up she just says what difference does it make and hangs up the phone, then that is an issue and she does need to answer for it. >> she is going to argue that the last era of real prosperity for the country was during the clinton era. i believe her husband is going to make that argument

on the stump. is he going to go to places like arkansas, governor huckabee, and kentucky where he is spending a will the of time right now working for alisyn grimes. look, this was a period of great growth for the united states. it was the clinton era. we are going to bring back that prosperity to america. i think he is going to go right to those same states in that area of the south that he won and he is going to try to get that magic back. think they -- he powerful. is probably the most successful politician ever to emerge from arkansas. i mean and you are right up there, but he was president. >> yeah. >> that's going to be a powerful argument to make versus the last two presidencies where we have seen declining american influence and power. >> bill isn't on the ballot it will be hillary clinton. it's not a forgone conclusion that she is going to be the nominee. look, i don't believe for one moment republicans ever have to cede the economic issues to anybody. but we have to explain that when government taxes us more than they should be that what they're really doing is disrespecting the

work that americans are doing. so, it's how we communicate our message. and the fact that we are going to talk about empowering mothers and fathers to pick their children's schools, to pick the house of their dreams, and not let the government dictate to them where they are going to live. how much food they can put on their table, what kind of food it's going to be and where their kids are going to go to school. those are the kind of true issues that i believe we can motivate america with. >> governor, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks. >> next on the rundown, whether will the republican focus on foreign policy damage the party's chances in 2016. then, the president says you are punishing your family if you don't sign up for obamacare. is anyone buying that? lou dobbs has some thoughts. the factor is coming right back. t!

tonight, jockey for position at cpac talking points. lots of interesting speakers at the annual conservative political action conference in washington. republicans who may need to do some reputation rehab with the base. new jersey governor chris christie whose star has fallen since bridge gate gave a terrific speech mostly on the economy and was well-received. florida senator marco rubio once considered a darling of the tea party before that is senate's immigration reforeign policy in his address. >> there is only one nation on earth capable of rallying and bringing together the free people on this planet to stand up to the threat of total -- total. >> i think this is a serious

miscalculation. according to a recent "new york times"/cbs news poll only 34% of republicans say that the united states should take the leading role among all countries in trying to solve international conflicts. by the way, that's a 24% drop from when the same question was asked soon after the start of the iraq war. and january's gallup poll also shows us that the people think the government's number one priority should be jobs and the economy. translation. the g.o.p. electorate and a strong majority of americans have concluded that the iraq and afghanistan wars probably made us weaker, not stronger. overwhelmingly americans support and respect our military. they are not isolationists but they also want our attention and our money focused on the home front. remember, when the american people rose up against that idea of intervention in syria last year? if rubleio isn't careful, he will follow in the footsteps of john mccain who also

staked his candidacy on a neo conservative, really muscular foreign policy. of course, mccain was roundly rejected by the voters for a man with zero foreign policy experience and who voted against the iraq war. today, according to the public policy polling outfit, mccain is the most unpopular senator in the united states. perhaps that's because people acquaint him with more military intervention. i think what most of us want is what george w. bush initially promised. a more humble foreign policy that focuses strictly on america's national interest. just as they were in 2008, the voters are more receptive to politicians fighting to raise the standard of living for americans than other country's sovereignty including ukraine. that's the memo. joining us from w. unique views of the situation. from houston kristin and from new york kelli ann conway a g.o.p. pollster.

chris, have at me, where am i wrong in that talking points memo about the proper focus for republicans and conservatives who want to take that white house? >> well, there is no doubt. okay? jobs and economy is number one and obamacare is 1 b. okay. so i don't differ there but i respectfully differ in the approach that you say we shouldn't necessarily be the world's police force. i'm not for nor is senator rubio for dropping in the navy seals and the marines tonight in kiev. but, at the same time, we have got to stand up against what is wrong edmund burk said it for evil to prevail. we have got to put sanctions and get together with eu members, u.k., germany and france. maybe stop buying some russian oil. we have got to take a stance. look at venezuela, 25 million people have had their civil liberties stripped from them. shutting down tv stations in the ukraine today. we have got to do something. we buy 800,000 barrels a day

of oil from venezuela. we are funding that total totalarism. >> people feel we spent too much two wars. spintd a lot of money looking around where did that money go? why isn't my life better off? they care about other countries, of course they do, they are charitable, wonderful people, unless america gets really stable and really strong really soon, this chaos that chris is rightly describing around the world is going to get worse. go ahead. >> no, it's true. it's the trillion dollars -- also a billion dollars we just sent to ukraine. the eu sent 15 times that. people look at that and say it's going to gets into the hands of the corrupt oligarchs anyway. is it going to help the freedom fighters. trying to distinguish between the hot spots around the globe, they distinguish

between trying to keep the nukes out of iran and north korea and getting involved in a port in russia that putin wants for his own purposes they distinguish between u.s. national interest and they distinguish between supporting israel and getting involved in every squirmish around the globe. in the "new york times" poll you had equal number of republicans and democrats resisting further intervention and i wants -- independents are just one point above. tri partisan support when and when not to intervene. it's not because people aren't paying attention. >> they are. >> it's all the stuff and all of our attempts that change the world and export american values abroad and get the arab spring going. maybe if all of that had worked to make us freer at home or us more prosperous people would be like yeah,

let's go, let's spend more money and not worry about the debt so much. none of that has made us more free, maybe more secure to some extent but not more free and our standard of living is not going up. so, i think people are so freaked out boo this middle class keeps going down. if this keeps going wish all the intervention we want but the american people are going to keep saying nothing to it. >> there is no doubt it's about jobs and the economy. you have to be clear and define what we are talking about. we are not talking about boots on the ground and not talking about dropping a bunch of tanks in kiev and venezuela. we are talking about standing up to what is wrong. if ronald's reagan and george h.w. bush 41 who i had the honor and privilege of working with him, if they had done nothing we would have never won the cold war. we have to stand up. >> i went back and looked at the g.d.p. the debt ratio in

95 was 42% -- 1985 it was 42%. comparing then to today the finances were completely different. the world is more dangerous and is going to get more dangerous unless we get our economic houses in order. rand paul looks like he won the straw poll. the least interventionist among all the candidates. no isolationism. >> but people are not into interventionism as goes national security go. one of the three legs in ronald reagan's three legged stool. there is a place in the dialogue. economy back to romney. that doesn't work either. >> no auto-to-isolationism. directly ahead another set back to obamacare as new study says uninsured americans aren't signing up. our own lou dobbs has the latest. and medical marijuana ads also geraldo is on tap to talk about it. captain obvious: i'm in a hotel.

in the lou's the boss segment tonight, another set back for obamacare. this week the president took a new approach in its effort to sell his healthcare law. >> you don't punish me by not signing up for healthcare. you are punishing yourself or your family if, in fact, there is affordable healthcare there to be had, and subsidies and tax credits that allow you to have the peace of mind and security and regular checkups and preventative care that will keep you healthier. that's not a matter of trusting me that's a matter of looking for yourself and see if you can get the services. >> it doesn't look like americans are buying. according to a new study by the consulting firm mackenzie and company. as of last month only one in 10 uninsured people who qualify for private plans

through obamacare exchanges had enrolled. the biggest reason why? those americans believe they can't afford it, according to the study. joining me now to analyze august of, this fox business anchor lou dobbs, you can see him on fbn at 7 p.m. eastern time. lou, coming up to this april 1st obamacare deadline and it seems like every day the stories get worse. but, that one in ten figure was really disturbing. >> it is disturbing. and when we look at the numbers, the obama administration is suggesting that they now have 4 million people who have enrolled in obamacare. we don't even know if that number is accurate. but one in 10 asthma ken is i said uninsured. spending $2 trillion to enroll by the end of the decade should be somewhere around 5 to 6 million of the 50 million people the president used to talk about

being uninsured. this is a law that has been written disastrously. it's been implemented disastrously and the it's effectiveness is not only suspect. we are looking at the impicture kel evidence provided by mackenzie whether it be by health and human services which didn't even know what it was doing. >> lou, 27% only and according to the mackenzie studied were previously uninsured. that's up from the month before. as bloomberg points out that's a paul tri number. it goes on to say look most of the people not signing up simply are not convinced that this is good for them. so, after all of the money they have spent, after all the celebrities who have weighed in and all the public education campaigns, all the huffing and puffing by obama and pelosi. >> almost a billion dollars

in advertising. >> look at the taxpayer money, lou, that we don't have, frankly, and the people don't want it if that's not enough to say gee, we have to do something different. this is not working, it's an insult to the american people. >> the republicans continue to focus on the failure of obamacare. but i truly believe that the republicans said nothing at all. this train wreck as senator max baucus one of the law's authors said early on, if this train wreck continues to worsen as it does every month, no one would have to say a word if the national liberal media would focus honestly on what is happening here. what is happening here is utterly a train wreck. and no one is talking about fixing it that's this president's responsibility, laura. it's not the republican's. it's the democratic party. only democrats, only this president pushed. >> they own it. >> pushed and voted for obamacare. >> they own it. this is where it was really

good for the republicans to be, quote, obstructionists, lou. they run are away with that term. i would run with that term. you better believe we tried to obstruct what, according to the new fox news poll shows that 49% of respond did he wants describe the emotions about obama care is pessimistic, next is scared, angry. still 40% lou say they are optimistic about obamacare. a lot of those are democrats. >> it's very important to everyone to understand as we talk about who is uninsured. we don't know if any of these numbers are correct. we don't know whether or not the surveys and the studies of this are correct because the basic information held by the department of health and human services is not being shared. we today do not know how many people are actually enrolled and have paid their first month premium to be in obamacare. and that's the reason it was created. so that we would be able to

provide that insurance. >> we only pay for all of this. why should we know anything? come on, that's transparency. we only promised that lou, great to see you. >> thank you so much. >> plenty more ahead as the factor moves along tonight. controversial commercial airing for pot on major. a lawsuit filed by a group of atheistst claim a cross displayed at the world trade center is causing mental pain. we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

like you can't drink alcohol in public. there will be rules established. >> you don't think more kids will do pot because of the legalization. >> i really don't. big danger now heroin epidemic sweeping states across the northeast and elsewhere. prescription drugs, more overdoses from that than anything else. marijuana, you know, that is over. cheech and chong -- better get use to it. >> people are going to have to get away from their problems. you see o'reilly's talking points memo last night? if we are that country in decline just give me a joint. >> i think you and o'reilly are the the only adults that i know that have not smoked marijuana. >> okay. i'm not commenting. >> whoa, o'reilly is the only person i know. next topic. >> i amend my statement. >> next topic. let's move on to this deal with the gambling under the influence, speaking under the influence. now, a man has said he lost 500 grand, geraldo, but the casino allowed him to imbibe

too much and he blacked out. >> his allegations are actually worse than that his allegation is that they intentionally fed him booze. he was losing. he couldn't read his cards. his chips were falling on the ground. confusing the $500 chip with the 100 and the a dollars chip that he was totally inebriated. they are feeding him comped drinks and the allegation is as they try to collect their $500,000 that he lost that his allegation is that he violated the law of nevada which prohibits gaming institutions from allowing visibly drunk people to play. if the surveillance video shows this guy was plastered drunk and kept him gambling anyway answered ran up this huge bill, then i think he has a shot. now what usually happens, let me hasten to add, he is small potatoes, 500 grand. there have been people who lost 70 million in single

a group called american atheists is fighting to remove a cross on display at the soon-to-open 9/11 memorial museum saying the sight of it causes, quoted, mental anguish. listen to what the group's president said to megyn kelly last night. >> is it a little disingenuous to claim that atheists in your group are suffering dis -- headaches as a result of seeing that cross at the museum. >> no. >> that's that -- what happens when they see it? >> listen, 9/11 was an extremely bad situation and the people who went through it our plaintiffs went through a lot on that day as did many other people did, for that religious attack to be compounded by religious discrimination by our world trade center memorial, i'm not surprised they are suffering symptoms. >> last year a judge threw out the suit saying the cross could help tell the story of the terrorist attack. but the atheists appealed that decision and were back

in court yesterday. joining me now from new york with reaction fox news anchor gretchen carlson and you can see her on the real story 2 p.m. on fnc. gretchen, this is a story of its ilk that we have done so often on fox. it comes up usually at christmas and easter because the atheists love to make total fools of themselves on christian holidays. this cross was actually beams that were found together and they look like, of course, a cross but it just -- it ended up being a symbol that rallied the country together. it wasn't put there by a church or established by any one religion. >> the beam was found two days after the 9/11 attacks by the rescue workers and i remember covering it at the time and it was a huge deal because so many people found hope and a reason to continue going on when this symbol from all the rubble. and this is historical symbol now. this is why it's going to be in the museum. it's historical.

this is not put a cross in the museum just because to me it's a piece of history. how you look at it personally when i look at it cross in a religious way but i also see it for historical perspective. if other people want to look at it and say this is a piece of history this is what they found at ground zero, if they don't believe in jesus christ, so be it. i don't see it's an offense to anybody. it's there for a reason. it was found. it's part of history. >> i clerked on the second circuit of appeals in new york. the courthouse is actually right near ground zero. i used to walk through the trade centers on the way to the courthouse. for me it all kind of comes together here the district court ruled quite -- the congress didn't undue entanglement on religion state functions establishment of religion. didn't say there was any intent to discriminate yet,

we still find ourselves having to speak about cases like this in the second circuit, wasting precious appellate court time having to deal with these stories. >> they say if this cross is going to stand in the museum they want it to go back to the church where it temporarily was. if it stands in the museum they want to have a plaque that honors all of the atheists that died on 9/11 as well. >> what would that plaque look like i wonder? what's on that plaque except the names are already there. >> i don't even know if they would name the atheists who died. then you would have a whole court fight about whose names should be on the plaque. >> who is atheists in the end. >> of course. interesting analogy by the first court who threw this out they said that would be like saying that a holocaust museum is preaching you'dism when it's not. it's there for historical perspective. >> it's preposterous. par for the course forrest atheists. let's go on to this upskirt situation something really

deep. >> i have a very long dress on today. i need to hem it. it's pretty funny. i have a long dress. they had this situation brewing there where they ruled that photographing or filming up a woman's skirt was not in violation of the state law as it was worded because the language of the law dealt with partial nudity. the whole thing is kind of ridiculous. devol patrick did what, gretchen, the governor. >> i don't know. this is major fox news alert, laura. can you imagine anybody in the legislature, especially, you know, with everything going on in congress where seemingly nothing gets done, in two days they were able to pass a new law saying that, guess what, it's illegal now to take pictures of women's upskirts. they did it in two days. this thing happened by the supreme court on wednesday and by friday afternoon we had a law signed by devol patrick. here is the thing now. can't do this any more folks if you were thinking of it. two years in prison and a thousand dollars fine. >> either that or everyone has to wear pant suits,

right? that was going to be pretty ugly choice. >> come on, women were in a uproar and men too in the state of massachusetts. by the way the supreme court found this case as you know being a lawyer they found this was right by the law that. >> the language. >> the language. so it was outdated so now they changed it. >> sloppy legislation. gretchen, great to sigh. >> great to see you too. >> up next bernard mcguirk with the pinheads of the week and you may be one of them. and then president obama's spelling and a half few while trying to show aretha franklin some respect. we will show it to you in just a few moments. and i've got this runny nose. i better take something. truth is, sudafed pe pressure and pain won't treat all of your symptoms. really? alka seltzer plus severe sinus fights your tough sinus symptoms plus your runny nose. oh what a relief it is

in the back of the book segment tonight, the pinheads of the week, joining me now from new york with a a list, the

always amusing, my friend, bernard mcgerk, first up, you have chosen a dove deodorant body that offended some people in new jersey. take it away, what is that? >> well, it was a billboard advertising soap, they wanted to put it up on the turnpike in new jersey. they said listen, you are the arm pit of america, embrace that thought. and some new jersey residents complained. and they eventually took it down, new york times and various publications that actually ran, i would say this to the people of new jersey, this was an ad for an arm pit, just be glad it was not an ad for toilet paper because that could have gotten very ugly. however, new jersey does have an

image problem. american hustle was based on corruption there, you have the real housewives, i might add bridgegate, and then governor jim mcskeevy who appointed his boyfriend. and for super bowl -- >> it was so boring. >> not only boring, but if you threw a party in your house people came over and had a piece of cake and went next door the hang out with the cool kids. they stayed in new york. new jersey is to new york what i am to tom brady. if me and brady go to the club, nobody is looking -- >> wait a second, first of all we have a lot of great listeners throughout new jersey who are loyal fox news viewers, and they love the o'reilly factor, and i guess they even love you, bernie, and you just laid out

the ugly portrait. >> if you call back to atlantic city there was a local news report that had the ms. america contest. they took the girls down to do a photo shoot one day, they turned own the lights, a bunch of homeless people, it has a history of unfortunate incident s. >> well, the arm pit could be d.c., there are lots of places in a country that sadly as o'reilly pointed out last night is in decline. where the arm pit ad would probably be appropriate. and it is kind of our fault. we got to move on, though, we got to move on. and i know you never do this, bernie, because you don't text much, you're not a texter. you don't even talk on the phone. you rarely talk in person, for get texting. so bernie, what is the texting

that dufuses fall into the cracks in the road and get stitches in their faces. >> there are reports that the rise of injuries is skyrocketing. and by the way, there are a lot of older folks, unlike myself you're attached to your phone a lot of times. >> oh please, oh, get out. >> there is an upside to all of this, there you go, we're talking -- >> i thought we were on a commercial break. the upside is, it sort of thins the herd, sort of a dawrinism -- >> if you are dumb enough to walk into the telephone pole while you're texting -- obamacare will take care of you. >> but if you happen to walk down the street, i see a leg sticking out, or a bus, i am not going to say lol, i may say whf

-- just smell the roses, get off the phone, look around. for god's sakes, you're not that important. these people can wait for a response. >> i agree, i was at my daughter's poetry recital, and we were just holding up phones, i thought wait a second i just want to see my daughter, it is like you're seeing yourself in the lens, not in the moment. i agree with you, totally crazy, put the phone down while you're watching tv. bernie, quickly, rutgers gave all that attention to condoleeza rice, but the faculty is still protesting the speech. this is a woman who was the former national security adviser, rutgers, speaking of new jersey. >> speaking of new jersey, these people are the arm pit hair of america, this is awful what they're doing. but at least, bush, cheney and rice believed what they were

doing. when they voted for the war, it was political. i think it is probably because she is a black republican in the lines of clarence thomas and that is probably what they really resent. because they wouldn't do it to susan rice, over the benghazi. they view her as equally repugnant. >> planned parenthood should be fined, bernie, have a great weeke weekend. on deck, must-see video featuring president obama and aretha franklin in a major spelling problem. right back with it. is anglers being careless and breaking off their rod tip. don't do that. ♪music announcer: at the bass pro shops spring fishing classic, save up to an extra $100 during our rod trade-in sale.

malay . and finally tonight, a spelling mistake worth watching, last night at the white house, president obama paid tribute to women of music, with an all-time lineup of great performers, including aretha franklin.

>> amazing grace ♪ ♪ ♪ how sweet the sound ♪ >> fantastic. but, before aretha took the stage, the president struggled while trying to pay her respect. >> when aretha first told us what r-e-s-p-e-c-t meant to her? >> oops, rsvp. maybe he wants at that point to buy a vowel. well, before we go, become a laura 65 member and find out where you can listen to my radio show across the country. follow me on twitter, i'm laura

ingraham in for bill o'reilly. please remember, the spin stops right here because we're always looking out for you. have a great week. fox news alert, we have breaking news tonight on a missing commercial jet. i'm megyn kelly, this is "the kelly file," disturbing news, a malaysian aircraft apparently lost control with the traffic controllers several hours ago. the boeing departed kuala lumpur and lost contact two hours into its flight as it was making its way to beijing, china, the flight was reportedly carrying 227 passengers, including two infants along with 12 crew members and was set
