5:00 pm
we'll expect a new's conference from adam silver over the stuff caught on tape from the owner of the la clippers. four seconds, governor huckabee. tonight on huckabee, their daughter justina is held by the state. the family converts massachusetts governor patrick and te mands action. >> can you help and you are not doing it? >> you are better off. and family lives and doing things or are they doing subsidies. the government reacts to the comments. and greg on who is cool and what is not cool ♪ ladies and gentlemen, governor
5:01 pm
mike huckabee. >> thank you. thank you very much. great audience. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. few stories disturbed me as the tragic story of 15-year-old justina of connecticut. kidnapped from her family from her fam by the boston hospital for 15 months. the alleged reason was that the parents of justinna were unfit despite the fact that massachusetts never intrude or made a home visit with the pelletiers. and the state of connecticut did not dome them unfit. i have spent more time with lou than officials in massachusetts and he didn't so many dangerous. i was impressed that he was rational as he was.
5:02 pm
if the government took my child for me based on a emergency visit from a resident who never seen her before and dismissed the diagnosis from the specialist from tufts medical. i would have gone billy jack all over someone's face. (applause) >> justina's medical condition has derteriated. she is kept from takeneding school and religious services and limited visits with her own parents and then only with constant arm supervision. >> i reached out and my staff roached out to the governor of the common wealth of massachusetts and a spokesperson for the massachusetts department of family to give this story. you will not be surprised that my request is ignored.
5:03 pm
it is said such a thing is worse than at crime is the cover up. boneheaded and inept decision made wiapproximately personnel in boston children's andoused the d~ cf to help cover their tracks. they presented a case bufl bull dropses and found a judge assuming d~ cf did their home work and gave the state custody of justina. the d~ cf came to the excuse the dog ate the home work. and the pressate their lunch. the governor claims it is out of his hands and in control of the court. unless he has a whole lot less power than i had as governor. i am sure if he ordered his agency to reitition the court to release justina, she would be released within hours.
5:04 pm
the politicians and bureaucrats are all scrambling to cover their widely exposed roars and who is left to stand up for an innocent 15 year old victim of state sponsored abuse? attorneys and friends and media and you. your outcry is making a difference. now massachusetts governor patrick said that he wants justina returned to her family and that's good. but if the family is unfit, why would he want that? i can't imagine the loiblt that the state of massachusetts incurred in this case. but i can't think of consequences that are to which for the state sponsored malpracticed with justina. until she is home with her family or the state of massachusetts prouses good reasons why she shouldn't be. i pledge to justina that i will not be quiet or stop speaking
5:05 pm
and speaking out for her. and i hope you will not elause) there is promising developments for christina and her family. reverend patrick convonted governor patrick in has mass. >> release justina pelletier. >> i agree. nwell, then governor first of all don't tell the pelletiers that you have a detailed report of neglect and not make it public, sir. >> the law is confidential. >> why rrnt you making. you don't have a reunioniction plan and she cannot walk and not educated and not allowed to go to is it u church 14 months in your state. >> we have a pored in court and
5:06 pm
ordered to have her sent home. after that encounter, a meeting was called on friday to talk about how to transferricon conback to connecticut. reverend mahoney is with me and. judge the legal represent of the pelletiers. this that caused major changes in the case. you had an encounter and then the meeting. what is happening? >> we confronted governor patrick on all violations concerning justina not going to church, educated and not getting medication. within three hours of that exchange i got a call from hss secretary, saying they wanted to meet with me the next day. we had a 70 minute meeting and went over the issues concerning justina and put a proposal
5:07 pm
together saying that justina needs to return home, here is the proposal and governor, the eyes of the nation are watching massachusetts right now. governor patrick, secretary,they said they wanted to bring her home. see what the reuniction is. and honor her civil rights and commit to protect families and if they will end the night mayor, partners know what is best for their children more than government or bureaucracy. and secretary pollano. i had a wonderful talk with him. and we have been communicating and hope they follow-through and we'll wait for the reuniction plan. >> there was a statement released from the department of human services in the form of the editor and said justinna should return to home state of connecticut to receive the services and support she needs
5:08 pm
close to friends and family and community. all of that is good. i want to believe that the governor is just now understanding the depth of the case. i want to believe he was not told by his case and i think the ref rend's encounter with the governor ahead him ask questions he maybe not have asked yet. what could he do. you are an attorney it you understand what i said earlier in the monlog, if he want its to happen he can push the buttons. >> he need to do it quickly. we are moving on 14 or 15 months justina is held hostage with virtually no medical care or education or access to religious services and no clergy and the family can't come in and take photographs to celebrate birthday or easter or christmas.
5:09 pm
and 14 or 15 months held there almost as long as the iowa rannian hostages were held. pretty soon she will have 436 days in custody. they went to court and they said they tried to get her home. and the court said she should not return home. and despite the evidence of she should return home. the only issue at all. someone at boston children's hospital who wrote an after theicle that said one out of every two children having nothing medical wrong it is all in their head. >> that is a bold statement that half of the kids that show symptoms are faking it. >> she wrote an article and justina comes to the hospital at the direction of physician at tucks and they say it is in her head. they have damaged this girl.
5:10 pm
we hope that the damage is not irreparable. the governor can call his agency. you know as a governor, petition the court and let justina go home and when they do that the judge will let her go home. >> it is interesting to me the dpof goff said shenys to be home with her family. if they are fit why would you want her to go home. what is with the legislators and other things that give us hope. it locks like the case may have turned the corner. >> there is a lot happening. legislation is proposed by representatives and it has to do with the financial care. d~ cf is in serious financial straights and yet they are spending millions on justina's care. she loved stuffed animals and we are bringing in the stuffed animals and put them on the state house steps in
5:11 pm
massachusetts and debate this legislation. governor, it is critical and everyone in the audience has to understand. if this happens to the lou and linda pelletier it can happen to anyone in america. we need to stand now. >> we only have a few seconds. legally what steps are taken on behalf of the pelletier family. >> we foiled a habbuous cooperus to let her go. and we foiled an appeal as well. and we are also filing civil right's claims against those responsible and hold them accountable for this. they will not get away with this abuse. and we'll do that against boston children's hospital and d~ cf and anyone involved in the atrocity. we are moving in different levels anditate and federal to make sure justina gets home quickly. >> thank you for the effort you have made and thank you for
5:12 pm
everyone that continues to put pressure. thank you both. (applause) i want to update you on the case of five year old jerry jones oliver. he was missing last september and we brought you jer mayia sea story. april 18th jer mia's body was found in sterling, massachusetts. hiss mother and boyfriend are facing kidnapping and other charges and not charged with the boy's death. d~ cf is calling for more social workers to handle the overload of cases. we'll be right back with greg gutfold. >> if you would like to respond. go to mikehuckabee.com you can connect on facebook and sign up to follow my messages on twitter or leave comments on the feedback on mikehuckabee.com.

the author of the new bock not col. police welcome greg gutfeld. >> one of the things i love about your bock, you have a list of free radicals and even named me as a guy, do you think i am cool or just because you are afraid to bump with me in the hall? >> nothing to do with getting on your show? >> nothing at all. >> the governor is immune to anyone's opinions about himself. he has what he calls the code and he's not only right, it is something that is important. he is persuasively right. he is persuasive in his
5:17 pm
arguments and this is a big problem i find in all ideologies and with conservativism and libittarian ands they don't know how to persuade people. that is an issue with your cappedidates. if you are up against president obama who is cool? where does cool get you? no where. he was persuasively progressive and what conservatives and libittarians needs someone who is right and persuasively right x. you play a base that is least colininstrument. >> no, it is coolest of all. >> no, you are not ashamed to play the bass. the problem with the book though, when people hear about it, they think it is hit people and it is not. it is a mine set that is subversive mind set that said all tradition and family and work is bad. this is why the book to me is
5:18 pm
most important book for young people that is out there right now. no one told them this in this manner. parents will tell their kids, don't listen to the people who want to do bad things. that makes them want to rebel. they are explaining to you why it is bad and why there is it no inherent value in doing something that is against your own intchlt and no one told kids that way without sounding like a doshg. >> my favorite chapter was called southern discomfort that is about the south. and i love the south and i rather have corn bread and cat fish. and that whole thing. you really paid a great compliment to southeners and said they are misunderstood. >> you know it is easy for comedians when they talk about
5:19 pm
southeners, they play out red- neck cliche and stupid people and the fact is, in my book, i talk about what are the worst crimes in recent times taking place? not in the south. look at the goz nel mass murder that is in philadelphia. you can so what happen in the castro household, that was in cleveland, that is a city. why did that happen? it happened because of a lack of neighborly concern. when the cities that are now desolate wastelands. no one makes eye contact. if you have a neighbor squatting no one wants to get involved. the south is predicated on getting involved and knowing your naeshs. it is like, if there is something going on over there you check it out. (applause) >> and people speak to each
5:20 pm
other on the street and pull over when a funeral procession comes by and help a total stranger and if a tornado hits the house it is the way they live. only flaw with the south is that they are perhaps too friendly. i went to 31 cities in the south. it was incredible how much food they gave me and to a cliche, how much moon shine. they, people gave me. no hip new yorker is going to give me moon shine. some kid, and southern conservative kid with tattoos and nose ring. i made this in my garage. >> dpreg, the book is great and one of theerancy i wanted to have you, you said i was cool, not many people said that. >> you are good, you are not cool. >> that is fine, i will take it. >> best of luck on the bock.

one nation under god. you can get a free copy. it is free god dvd.com. >> a report in the arizona reprobable alleges that 40 veterans died awaiting medical appointments and that the va health system tried to cover it up with secret records to hide the length of wait times. arizona septemberor jonator mck for: >> never have i seen a cover up of 40 people dying. this is why we need to use government to get to the bottom of this, and if it is thorough hold those accountable. >> absolutely hold them accountable. it is bad enough to send veterans in harm's way where they risk loss of life and facing the bullets of terrorist and foreign enemies.
5:26 pm
when they come back home, the least thing they should have to worry about is that their own government kill them with inattention. this is unacceptable. i hope that no one will allow the concept of letting veterans be put on the shelf to wait as acceptable or tollerable. we owe the veterans of this country to treat them better than that. absolutely has to happen. (applause) nevada reg end clive bundy lost support in the stand off in the government when he made derogatory comments about african-american. on thursday bundy tried to defend his comments. >> are they better off and happier when they were in the south in their homes and with their chickens and their gardens and children a round them and their men having something to do?
5:27 pm
are they better off? >> i am sure mr. bundy you are not better off for making statements that nobody can defend and no one would try to defend it. and people who supported you run from you as fast as anybody can gho go. the obvious reasons that the comments were objectionable and deplorable. i hope however, that we don't forget what people were standing up for had nothing to do with bundy personally and anything he believed. the issue and i want to make sure you understand. the issue for many of us was it necessary for the federal government to escalate the problem that was created there and the whole idea of his cattle grauzing that they were willing to point high-powered rifles at citizens of the united states and threaten to kill them over cows eating grass?
5:28 pm
this is really what has been the front of the issue for me? i am not defend clive bundy. he is pay for the grass, but you don't shoot somebody over it. and that is an issue i hope that is not lost on any of us. (applause) the crime is so bad in chicago subway shops are putting up bulletproof glass between the employees and customers. not according to the woman who works next to the subsway shop. it odd. it defends on the owner wanting to keep the employee's safe. our cities are in a real mess when you have to put bulletproof glass between the customers and employees in a simply place
5:29 pm
place that makes sandwiches. no one is explained it. and so as a result people like the owners of the subway sandwich shop protect their employees with bulletproof glass. that is sad. >> and the recent meeting of obama care and state insurance commissioners was so alarming many are raising red flags. ohio commissioner mary taylor explains next. what you wear to bed is your business.

5:34 pm
mary taylor. i know this meeting was a significant one as you had a conversation with the president. you use the term unsettling, why? >> well, it was more of the same. there was no now information. the president and administration pushing at the insurance commissioners to hold rates down. they believed they were going to be held down for 2015. but they are putting pressure on us to do the job they don't want to do and can't do number two. in addition to that. they are asking us to hold back on consumer protection and usurping our authority. and we will make sure consumers are protected in ohio. >> when you get all insurance xhilgzers together from each of the states. they are elected and some
5:35 pm
appointed. they have to regulate the insurance industries for the people of their state and make sure the prices are fair and prem yups are realistic. and it is your job to defend the people of your state. all of you come together and hear the president. it was interesting that one of the ceo's of the a etna had an interesting perspective. one of the few insurance excutives who said the president did a lot of the decisions on the fly. did that bring audible gasp to the rom when he said that with the insurance commissioners? >> obviously it is concerning to us. it is something that i have said for the last couple of years, every time the obama administration takes upon themselves to change the law or delay it creates ha voc in the marketplace. ultimately the biggest concern it impacts consumers.
5:36 pm
consumers looking to purchase health insurance are paying the price. premiums are going up and he believes that the increase will be because of the delays and it is very concerning to us and a policy and law not working in the state of ohio and every time they make any kind of change it makes it worse for the ohio consumers. noregon was enthusiastic about obama care and this week oregon walked away from a state- run exchange and say the feds will have to do it. that is after spending hundreds of millions of dollars of oregon taxpayer money. how significant is oregon saying we are done and can't make it work? >> i think it is significant. first of all a state all in favor of obama care and preparing to run their own state- based exchange and did not work for them.

this past week marks the 50th anniversary of president johnson declaring a war on poverty. on friday i spoke at an event in martin county. the very community where lbj traveled to announce what would become an almost $21 trillion effort in spending to end poverty. 50 years later, the poverty rate is about the same. you think that the government would look at the am spent and the minimal impact and declare that maybe a new model needs to be launched. but then you wonderful understand government. because 50 years and $21 trillion later some think we just need to spend more money. but look, i love the people that i met at the event. these are people who know hard work, hard times, and sometimes hard luck. but they aren't hard people. in fact they care deemly about their community and each other. and they reminded me the real
