and now you know the news is fox reports this saturday, august 1, i'm julie banderas. >> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. *applause . >> mike: figure much everybody. welcome to huckabee from the fox tv is a new york city. tonight abc news john stossel, does the president's health care plan possibly make a senior citizens life less valuable than somebody in their 30s or 40s? david barton will be with us, "time" magazine calls him one of the 25 most influential evangelicals. so why isn't he a household name a few but he will tell us about our country's founder is what some people hope you never find

out. >> and the doctors, the stars of tds 18 kids and counting. how do they manage their household? and most of us have trouble handling a couple kids, they handle 18+. >> grammy award-winning country musician ray stevens is here to play with the "little rockers" in a timely tune you want to share with your friends and your congressman. you will love the show tonight. thank you for joining us on tonight's edition of the "huckabee". *applause . >> mike: you know, i've had more than my share of jobs in my lifetime. i work for nonprofit organizations, small businesses, large corporations, but i spent the longest part of my adult employment in elected positions working in government. i run several small businesses as well. i learned something about the role of the boss. smart employees want to please the boss. congress works for us, don't they? i wonder, do they know that?

are they so filled with their sense of self inflicted importance that they forgot we have a house of representatives and not a house of lords? it seems the $800 billion book -- portland is available with supposed to stimulate the economy wasn't the only thing they did not read great baby a reading of the united states constitution would be a bad idea. you know, that document that starts with, we the people? the latest poll shows that we the people don't want the government to take over our health care. they seem hell-bent on doing it anyway. i just got back from a brief trip canada. their system works okay. that is if you have a minor complaint. but in the event of something really serious, god help you, because the government run system probably won't. does that bother you? in the words of sir -- surveillance, you better. this is so members of congress.? no way should it come with it

altogether by nokorie for you. they'll keep the really nice on our half. the members of congress are coming home for recess. and when they aren't jetting about on a junket overseas fact-finding, picture they find out some facts from you. show up at a town hall or a forum if they do have one. go to their offices, make calls send e-mails and letters, ask lots of questions and demand answers. try to gently or not so gently reminded them of the less really is. sure, we want them to make informed decisions and have the courage to take a stand even if it is unpopular in the name of right. we don't expect them to cave into nancy pelosi's pressure or lobbyists in washington while ignoring the people who are the robots. i have the contact information for members of congress on my website, huckabee.com. remind them that when an employee consistently goes against the bosses wishes, the solution is simple. fire the employee and get somebody else. if we fire about half of

congress in the next election, it might get their attention. they need to know that we the people are the boss. not they the congress. *applause . >> mike: well, that's my view and i welcome yours. let me hear from you@mikehuckabee.com. click on the ox's feedback section and that is not what you think. >> we're not the only ones who are concerned about healthcare. here's the daily show jon stewart on the residence approach to selling the bill. >> is clearly scare tactics on healthcare reform have taken their toll on the president sales pitch. >> first of all, nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care. >> nobody is talking about reducing medicare benefits. >> nobody is talking about you forcing to change her plans to make this money is not being wasted snack to tell your mom though he is messing with your doctor to mackinac sales pitches in trouble when you hear it look, you go to trust me, we're not going to kill your

grandparents. >> mike: well, is your life and help more expendable the older you get? if you're a senior citizen, would you, your family, your doctor decide on chemotherapy or heart surgery? or should it be decided by a nameless faceless bureaucrat. to discuss this abc news investigative reporter and cohost of the hit show on the 20, jon scott so. john, welcome, glad to have you here. *applause . >> thank you. >> mike: john, the biggest question is, who should make decisions about our personal health? >> ideally, we the individual should make our own choices and do our own rationing because we are all different. some of us want different things at different points in life. i don't know what's going to be in the final bill, but to be fair to obama, somebody's going to ration care for the elderly right now.

medicare -- government already runs have to healthcare. medicare is $30 trillion in the hole. it's a ponzi scheme. they liked it pretty made up for a ponzi scheme, medicare is a bigger one. at some point they're going to say you're this old you will get hip replacement. >> mike: but we want the government making that decision? you said the government is making a lot of decisions now. other changes to the individual is in charge to keep. >> if somebody else is going to pay for, then have the right to set some point you want everything we can't afford it, we have to say no. the only way the individual makes a choice is that the individual pays more. the way to do that is through health savings accounts, high deductible policies, all these things are being discouraged by this new legislation which is saying insurance is to cover everything. >> mike: this week nancy pelosi said the insurance companies are the villains and hairy reed made very disparaging comments toward the insurance industry. is it their fault?

are the ones to blame for what's going on with the healthcare system to give. >> yes and no and that everything that works well in america, the best stuff we get from capitalism. free markets. you talk about the boss and the people pleasing the boss, and you view it in politics from being a politician. i do it as a consumer reporter from businesses trying to please their customers. that's the ultimate accountability. we can only elect you once every four years. we can change the company we buy things from every two seconds. it's that motivation that makes things better. and i'm sorry i forgot the question what was going with that. but if we apply more about healthcare, we would see it in the few areas of healthcare for people pay for things himself. plastic surgery, basic eye surgery. races are coming down, quality are going up and the doctor gives out his e-mail address and cell phone number because he's looking to please the customer. it's good. >> mike: one of the things that gets talked about a lot in the

insurance debate is really why does the individual have the policy owned by the employer rather than by the employee? >> at the left over from world war ii and our crazy tax system. it's favor to be paid for that way. but you're right, it's unfair and crazy. 4/10 americans change jobs every year. why should they be locked to their employer for their insurance. the employer doesn't pay for their food or their house. if he did that wouldn't be bad. >> mike: ira member you making a comment once that but if we had grocery insurance? >> that was your question. insurance companies are a problem because while capitalism is the best, the worst form of capitalism is worse and they all spend your money, because nobody spends her money as carefully as you do. so third-party payment, whether it's a private insurance company or the government, is that big because you don't care what things cost. if you had grocery insurance you would say i will do everything, the lobster the state the finest

wines. i'm only paying 20% of it, michael a. i don't like that, but why cut costs due to widen shop around. people don't shop around. the doctor says you need a mri. do you ever asked the doctor, will really need it to do is there some cheaper test or a cheaper place to get the mri? conducted as the banality mri costs the chemist talk about to the people don't do this and any other form of insurance. their car insurance, home insurance, life insurance, they own it. in this case it's in the hands of some layouts. it doesn't give the consumer and opportunities so you know, this is what i want. one of the things i think is interesting is we pay less if we're more careful in every form. under the obama plan it seems like everybody will get coverage and it's all going to be the same basic policy and the same basic cost. what's wrong with that. >> sounds good. community rating. you can't discriminate against people with a pre-existing condition.

but this means that you get no benefit from doing all that running you did in losing all that weight. an insurance company houses by saying we are going to charge the town drunk or for car insurance that will charge you. they are to have these incentives. but as i read it, the current bills are good that. >> mike: otis paez-martinez the dealer does on the scent of mayberry to have a car insurance. and i'm a senseless. a person who has per arms and fire alarms and sprinklers a lesser fire insurance than a person who is in a steakhouse in stores gasoline in the middle of the room to make senator john kerry got very angry that some insurance companies were charging women more for health insurance. this discrimination must not. the insurance industry frightened as there are totally caved. there's a reason for it. women go to the doctor more often. they have more chronic conditions. it cost the insurance company more to ensure a woman. nobody complains that women have cheaper car insurance, because men are more reckless. some discrimination is good.

>> mike: i think the thing we learned from the conversation, and i want to say thanks john stossel for being here, is that this really gets down to whether or not you believe that you ought to be in control not just of your health but you're insurance. in essence this talk plainly. should you be in control of your life? you want to put that enhance or something else, and if so, who? futures -- trust the government for that? we dedicate the book of next week show to this issue so we want to hear from you. tell us what your questions and concerns are about healthcare and all of these proposals, write me at hotmail and foxnews.com. tell us your name and where you're from and we'll answer as many of those as we can next week. tonight is the separation of church and state ms are a church and state ms are a mandate from the my two granddaughters are my life. they always ask me, grandma, take me here, grandma, take me there. but with my occasional irregularity i wasn't always up to it. until i discovered activia

>> mike: in 1992 friend gave me a vhs videotape of a guy who never heard of diminutive promise it. i know you asked me if i watched it so late one night 30:00 p.m. i popped it into my player. i figured i would watch it for five minutes until my friend i watched some of it. i couldn't stop watching and i didn't stop until it was finished. that was 1:00 am i've been a big fan for the past several years a friend of the founder and president of wall builders, david barton. that was your tape, david, and thanks. welcome. glad to have you here. >> good to be here. >> mike: from the very first time i heard you talk, you were telling things i was stunned by because i was never taught that in school. i want to go right into the declaration of independence. we don't really know who signed that document from our history

books. >> today, and the picture of the signing of the declaration we find two people immediately. i could do this in high school and colleges. they can all find jefferson and franklin and it was farcical. then there are 56 guys. many others. the problem today is we have been recognized to see the two least religious guys and that's a comparative term because even they are more religious than the religious right by it enlarge. the other 56 and signed, 29 hou 70°. one half held bible school degrees. but we don't here about we would not hear about people like this man right here, dr. benjamin rush. john adams said he is one of the three most noble founders. he started the sunday school in america and started america's first bible society. this man in the center, i'll take a drumstick air, is one of the guys who drafted the declaration of independence. he is a theologian. he wrote a doctoral creed for his congress befriended bill of

rights. his practice was every year when he went to congress he took a brand-new bible within made notes in a figure to his kids when he got home. it was a good keepsake. it took a while because he had 15 kids. well folks that this man hear the reverend dr. john witherspoon of princeton university. >> mike: the president of princeton? many of the schools had historical origins in faith. they were christian colleges to make absolutely. princeton is a new university when he was there. upon the statement is very simple. it said kearse is contrary to the cross of christ. is there to turn out ministers and he turned up a number of founding fathers from john witherspoon himself, we can point to about one third of the founding fathers were trained by him at princeton university. so he was turning out theologians and ministers on regular basis. that man right here is charles thompson. he is responsible for the famous american bible edition the thompson bible.

let's pick this guy right here. that is robert treat paine a minister and a chaplain during the american revolution. the man with a hat on is stephen hopkins, is a quaker, or a outspoken, used christian but we should separate from great britain started in 1765. you get the idea. >> mike: did their faith influence these guys get cute with her we have secular documents. this is the declaration of independence, the constitution, we are told it's a secular document. who can we look at in the writing of the constitution to say what were they about? >> when you go to the constitution, you can start with a lot of things. we have the same difficulty with signers of the constitution. we find folks like franklin, who occasionally find an ammo can, can't find medicine or george washington that's usually where it stops. we would never recognize abraham baldwin who started the university of georgia. never recognize people like this man right here, this is james

mckendree the secretary of war, fort mchenry, started the bible society of maryland. we would not recognize folks like this man here, this is william samuel johnson, president of columbia university. he was -- he is a theologian. >> mike: will run out of time on different want too. i want to ask you quickly, is there not some kind of big prayer meeting before the constitution? that there were a couple of pennies. he actually had franklin here five weeks in there is so much difficulty franklin called a timeout and set guys cannot have it prayed. we used to pray all the time in congress. only six guys signed the declaration or the constitution. if i can was in congress signed the declaration that daily prayer. he had lengthy prayer. that assigned chaplains. he said we haven't done that since we did the constitution. so they wanted the thing about religious prayer according to george washington picked up three days off and went to church. they went to the church of the reverend william rogers, is a great prayer he prayed. we have the actual prayer.

we have about 100,000 documents from before 1812. i have the actual prayer he prayed over the actual constitution convention and the whole atmosphere changed other delegates started having prayer finally saw was only five days later they came out with the constitution is now the longest ongoing constitution and the world. it took them five weeks to do it at six weeks with them to agree on anything and they couldn't do it. that's a time of prayer. the other time of prayer is when these guys first met. the first time ever got together. >> mike: we have to take a break right now. let's ask this question, is america a christian or sector nation? we will ask david barton what our founding fathers had

i'm jennifer lopez, and here's a sound no mother wants to hear. [ baby coughing ] it's pertussis -- whooping cough.

holy scriptures for the super school. that's what they did. there are only 29 of those left in the world. they printed 10,000. that's one of the rarest books in the world. >> mike: the taxpayers paid for that. we had over the unconstitutional today jack talk about unconstitutional. let's have fun. this is from thomas jefferson two make us the real deal. >> this is not a copy it's the real deal. and jefferson on like the other president closes his documents in the year of our lord christ. he didn't say in the year of our lord -- >> mike: we heard he was a secularist and didn't believe mackey started a church of u.s. capitol preferrably seven years, he attended church in the capital throughout his years, he had the marine corps van come and play the church services at the capitol. unbelievable stuff with jefferson. he funded a treaty to send missionaries to go through jefferson has the least religious founder but is way out

there not that religious and in the 90s we cannot discuss for all diagnostic ideas. go back and get a totally different picture. >> mike: it comes down to the original documents in their own words. it is not what people said these guys said, that's what i actually said. >> atari we like putting it up on the website. you can see the actual documents. the library congress brought all these religious doctrines out to show the founders and what they believed and did so there's plenty of evidence out there it's just that today would have been cut away from our own roots, heritage and history. >> mike: david barton has stacks of things we never got anywhere near what he brought much less what he has. while builders.com is the website. i hope you'll go to and do some exploring. take a moment, read the book under the separation, he has a number of dvds. there's a lot about your own country that we have never been told.

roll from the backside it's hard to tell. because i want to get away with this. we'll ask the kids to come out, and as they do, but see if you can name all of them accurately. >> okay. >> mike: most of us hard time with two or three kids and have 18. let's bring the kids up in you tell us who they are as they join us to make the oldest son josh and his wife anna and they are expecting our new granddaughter october 18. there is mr. jackson. >> mike: i love that name. it's the name of strength spinnakers justin. >> mike: kaman out. >> mr. james. >> mike: james. scenic mr. jason sweeney and cannot jason. >> jeremiah. >> mike: kaman jeremiah. >> his twin brother jedediah. >> mike: i love that name. my jedediah. >> there is joy in a anti-jordan grace. >> and jordan grace is the

>> mike: one thing i wanted to ask you about, it has to be a challenge with this many children. a lot of people have seen the unfortunate situation with john and eight -- john and kate +8. the other show for children. her family is nothing like that. another some differences. tell me what you think, with no disparity or no disparity were stored john and kate, but how is your family worked to have this many children, being on television all the time, why does it work for you? to neck with an intelligent thing for five and half years. i tell you what, having a large family, we have fun everywhere we go. life is an exciting adventure. >> when their children are all young, like i said it's really hard, challenging days. but we have a lot of older children, so we are in a different season of life. even though i still have babies, little ones, with a lot of big ones too. and i think that dynamic of our

family probably makes for a lot different of a setting when you're filming and doing things like that, because there's just a lot more helpers. >> mike: want to talk to you guys and we will bring some of the children into the conversation as well when i come back from our break. everybody is going to stay to watch this, because i cannot imagine the challenges, and we'll ask you about some of those. laundry, cooking, going from place to place and the challenges of doing it with 18 children. it is to be a lot of fun. don't go away it more

>> mike: we are back with the duggar's jim bob and michelle 18 kids in a brand-new daughter-in-law. and we were talking before we talked about some of the challenges you guys face. how do you do laundry for this many people to do. >> we have been doing it now every day to keep up with it. for a while we were doing it twice a week. even though we have four washers and four dryers, when doing probably anywhere from 7-eleven notes per day. >> mike: food and groceries, feeding this many people e-mail today. >> we do bulk shopping and we get things very reasonable that way. we stock up as much as we can, and then we cook in huge quantities. everybody enjoys cooking. the guys like to grill.

some of the guys can make bread. the gross cook. we all enjoy eating maxiell and toast. >> mike: wow, jim bob you are amazing. cereal and toast. give the recipe for the toast to cute. >> i actually have some barbecued tuna fish sandwiches that are good. my own recipe to make either that was one mother was away for a week. >> mike: one thing i ask you guys is you have done this without government money. you're not on any government assistance, and you are debt free. jim bob, there are people out there with one or two children they don't have to pay off the bills. what's the secret to being able to maintain a family of this size and do it with financial integrity to give back about 20 years ago, we went to jim sammons financial freedom seminar and we were to get out of debt instead of that and follow the level principles of finances. it was life-changing. so if we want to buy something at a newer car or whatever, we

buy used and save the difference. that is just saved us from so many financial disasters. i don't know how it would make up for this many children if we have a lot of debt. when you add 10%-20% on everything you buy with that it makes it difficult to repay it. >> mike: a biblical principle is you don't go for things you can't afford to have. >> right behind could you teach that to the federal government to do *applause . >> mike: i know it would try to teach the state government when you were a legislator. another question some of. having many, many children does not just say, we can biologically do it, it's a spiritual conviction for you. about that. >> we were first married i was on the birth control pill for three 1/2 years. then we decided we would have children. so we had our first son, josh, then went back on the pill and i ended up getting pregnant while

i was on the pill. and i lost that baby. and at that point we were just heartbroken. and here we are holding one baby in her arms and joined the parents, realizing that we had lost one. so at that point we got on her knees and we grade and we set father, forgive us, and just give us a love for children, like you love children, and then right after that the lord blessed us with twins. student and then another one, and another one and another one. and here we are today. eighteen and counting. >> we really believe that each one of these children are a gift. they are a blessing and a joy. we realize how fast they grow up. it's just like overnight they grow up. >> are getting ready to celebrate 25 years of marriage. >> mike: congratulations, a silver anniversary finically at 18 children in the first 25 years, and i imagine we'll have a few grandkids in the next 25 years. >> mike: yes justin and are

helping out on that one. you guys have a baby in october. >> october 18 is the due date. the name is mackenzie. so that's the first announcement). >> mike: it will be a girl and it will be mackenzie mack just. >> mike: she will fit right in with everyone else to make us write. >> mike: josh, how did you animate to give. >> we met through mutual friends. we were homeschooled and from large families. it was love at first sight for me. it took her a little while. but you know, it is really neat to be able to know we went into marriage and saved our first kiss for our wedding day which is very special. we didn't feel it was like something we had to do it was something we wanted to do. it was neat because we have great parents to look up too. you know, to be able to aspire to be like a monday. >> mike: and anna came from a small family only eight kids. >> s. >> mike: i have to ask, where is joe cited. josiah, tommy something, i think you laid a little prank on the

industry going back to ahab the arab and although songs from way back. some very politically incorrect things. but the song that we want to do with you today is so timely, and have resurrected it and it's available on itunes. i already downloaded i'm having a blast listening -- listening to tonight you're the guy. >> mike: i'm not the only guy. after tonight thousands of people across america. i want them to not only listen to it i want them to get copy and e-mail it. if 10% is good enough for jesus. that's the song. to tell me about the song tonight i first recorded about 20 years ago. and they came out and it was mildly successful, but no big deal. and then time marches on, and so they called me the other day and said but to resurrect that song because it's really timely today. and i thought you are absolutely right, and we went into the studio and recorded, and here it is. >> mike: there is an interesting thing about texas.

what do you think we ought to be thinking about when it comes to why taxes are burdensome these days to make it looks like they're just going through the roof broke that the main problem i have at them. you were talking earlier, i don't know how much time we have here. >> mike: about a minute to make out the brief. you were talking earlier about people contacting their congressman, during the august break. and it reminded me of a story my old grandpa used to be the hardest guy to buy a christmas present for ever. one year we were down to the wire timewise and i was walking by a pet store, looked in the window and saw a parent. beautiful red blue green yellow feathers. i said how much for that. but i said $1500. i said well, forget it. he said when, that parrot can speak six languages. i said i'll take them. i sent it to grandpa for christmas, called in after christmas and said merry christmas grandpa how do you like the paradise that you think you he said he was vicious.

i said no wait a minute, you are supposed to eat the parrot, the parrot could speak six languages. he said what he should've said something. so you can wind up as dinner unless you say something. to your congressman and your senator. >> mike: you are saying something through the song was played, if 10% is good enough for jesus. single ♪ ♪ i want to say a few words about texas ♪ ♪ i pay another man to do my taxes local account is just one more deduction i would take ♪ ♪ the postman brought my w-2 this morning local and they should have taken a third while i make ♪ ♪ now i'm just as patriotic as the next man pogo and you know i love that red, white and blue logo so i'm going to help to pay this rising cost of freedom
