[ applause ] >> mike: and thank you very much. welcome to the "huckabee" from the fox videos in new york city. tonight ousted alan i. rod blagojevich and his wife, patty, join us, and we'll ask him some questions and answers could make headlines. he met the queen of southern cuisine, paula deen is in our studio. you'll love paula's style, her humor, but you might be

surprised by her powerful and amazing story. imagine an all-time country music great, george jones, is here. he will be playing one of his classic songs, and a brand-new one and never released before, but you'll hear it here tonight. what a great show we have. take you for joining us. [ applause ] >> mike: i'm sad to report today the death of a good friend to all of us. journalism. once esteemed for the state of our nation and the protector of our freedoms and the watchdog of our rights, has passed away after a long struggle with a crippling and debilitating disease of acute dishonesty aggravated by advanced laziness and the loss of brain function. journalism must credit patrolled our society and sought to tell us the stories that inform and sometimes inspired us. journalism also presented the news that would irritate us, and irritation wasn't over the delivery but the content as

corruption and misdeeds were revealed. in recent years, journalism has grown increasingly dependent on spin dr. spoon-feeding and the circular and insular courting of other journalists instead of attempting to locate and the first-person sources. i told you a couple weeks ago how the new york times, newsweek, time magazine and other media outlets, took words i said i might radio commentary, and instead of courting them they summarized them and then distribute them. bloggers and other supposedly professional journalists, then took those already distorted interpretations, treated them as sources and added their own spices. newsweek even had the audacity to use quote marks around a statement that never was even uttered them as if they were courting the actual words. when dan jones, all of over 30 unelected stars was caught making outrageous statements about republicans, please officers and being discovered of his belonging to many radical

groups, the media was incapable of so much is a notice of his record and only mentioned it at the time of his resignation providing cover for president obama and his contradictory statements. several journalists patted their broke their arms patting themselves on the back and tripped over the words. the fall brought about serious head injuries rendering the profession with only a minimal brain function. despite rote efforts at the white house to show tender and thoughtful love to friendly reporters, journalism has slipped from the news pages of major papers. survivors include the american people long ago stopped buying the ink stained triple that smeared the pages of paper, and the people who attempted to read it. no tomatoes are planned as the partition as of again that seem to be unaware that they have even passed away and they continued to publish anyway. [ applause ] >> mike: that's my view and i welcome your spirit you can contact me at.

>> earlier this week the president challenged critics of his health care plan to come up with a better one. >> ever question for these folks who say you know, we're going to pull the plug on grandma. this is all about illegal immigrants. you have heard all the -- all the lies. i've got a question for all those folks. what are you going to do? what's your answer? what's your solution? and you know what? they don't have one. >> mike: my first guest is an alternative plan to the president's proposal and this past wednesday he was flanked by house and senate leaders to deliver to congress a petition signed by 1.3 million americans who agree with them. these welcome the father of a health savings account, the president and ceo of the

national center for power -- policy management john woo. smack great to be here speaking the president said it wasn't on alternative. we put forth a plan. what is the alternative? plan that might be an alternative to his proposal to give back their several good plants. john mccain had a good plan when he ran for president. senator coburn has a good plan, senator bennett has a plan. it would involve helping people or hunt insured with tax relief when they buy their insurance picking insurance portable and giving people are power over their healthcare dollars to manage their healthcare. >> mike: what's right about the obama plan? if i listen to the president speak of the night and he makes is very powerful -- to me to post each, not a presidential one -- but a strong clinical advocacy for his plan even though i haven't seen it. what's right about it -- about what he sang to give. >> what's right about what is

saying is he's good at identifying real problems. costs are going to high. can't live forever with healthcare costs growing at twice the level of our income. what about problems in the system, and access problem so the zero problems. but what he is proposing doesn't solve those problems, and makes it worse because he saves the doctor but he can do the diagnosis but not prescribe a treatment plan to make gasoline. he's going to kill the patient. >> mike: there are 47 million uninsured americans but the number is not around on this number when you start looking at under those could buy insurance or qualified for existing government plants. how many truly uninsurable people, because i think that's the issue. not the uninsured, just the uninsurable. how many are there. >> maybe 10 million. maybe a fourth of the number we're used to hearing. but in any event, a lot of us can fall into that trap at some time in our lives. most people run short for short.

the time. it's like being unemployed. it happens to a lot of people for short periods of time. strangely enough there's nothing in the obama health plan that deals with these short periods of uninsurance. nothing about. >> mike: what is the best way to handle that. >> on portable insurance. that's what we're advocating. that's the single most important reform we can push for. >> mike: but we make sure but he understands. portable means your insurance is owned by you that your employer. if you move across to their statements, you take a job, you keep your personal health insurance like you do your health insurance and life insurance ; arkansas and texas and every state in the country it's against the law for the employer to buy for his employees insurance that employee owns. it's against the law. so the player cannot give the employee that kind of insurance they most want and need. insurance that will go with them from job to job, and out of the labor market or travel with them on their journey to the labor

market the tenure often called the father of the health savings account, the hsa. tell me in a nutshell why that is a program america ought to be talking about more so than the government providing a health policy to compete with private insurance? to make the health care system is extremely bureaucratic. it's just a little bit better than the department of motor vehicles in most places. and it operates like a bureaucracy. this direct receipt doesn't see you, the patient, as its customer. they look to the third-party payers as their clients. when you empower the patient, when you give the patient control over the money, and all the sudden the patient becomes a client. to cater to the payers wishes speak on the ability of medical malpractice reform are you surprised he entered -- an event and great defense to put on the table to think they're serious. i think they're talking about a pilot program that they will try and will go away. trial lawyers just get too much money to the democratic party. they give it to some republicans, too, but it will be

very hard for the democratic leadership in congress to endorse report reform. >> mike: there have been attempts to do a government program similar to what hr 30 200,000 of those. nasa juices and tennessee have tried it. it is dismal failures. when we try something in the states before we do this at the federal level and do it in all 50 states and make a mistake you make your absolute right. massachusetts is the closest thing to obama care. massachusetts has been a failure. costs are rising. it's hard to get the see a doctor today as it was when the plan was started. waiting times in boston for a new patient to see a doctor twice as long as in any other u.s. city. >> mike: and that's what we can look for federal country. john, thanks for joining me. what a pleasure to have you here.

but have you both here. [ applause ] speak and let me get right to be one of the major questions i think a lot of people have. the connection that existed between you, around the manual the white house chief of staff, and brought obama. was there communication and conversation that was going on about the senate seat when brought obama resigned to become president to give. >> i read a lot about that in the book. i talk about my decision to pick a united states senator, and if i could and i look at your audience wanted to know i did nothing wrong. these are false accusations. i was accused of attempting to sell it senate seat for financial gain and the prosecutor belittled the truth. the truth is at sundown. the very day before the morning before i directed by chief of staff to work out the tactics on what was a routine political deal and was working with ron emanuel and others leading

democrats, harry reid and i had a conversation, senator mendez and i from new jersey had conversations, he offered his help. might senior senator from illinois, senator durbin on a deal where i would appoint the submit and whose father was my political nemesis but in exchange for that, yes there was a deal. the deal is a public works bill, and we support that, that would create jobs, 500,000 jobs -- speaking it was a quid pro quo. yet despite the belt that is .org at the senate appointment. >> testability ten prior to the appointment. >> braun -- rahm emanuel is the one that i wanted to negotiate a deal with the manikins because it's the rough-and-tumble kind of guy that knows how to get a good political deal done speech and he agreed to do that? tackiness talking and involved with us from the very beginning we had discussions, he spoke with my chief of staff, and was doing the right thing. he was trying to get a senator

that they wanted, but he also is going to be part of the process that would put 500,000 people to work and expand health care to 300,000 working families and a written guarantee not to raise taxes on people for the remaining two years of my term because the other end of the deal that the reason they were going to bring mendez and durbin and harry reid into this, is because they decided they wanted a somatic and for her electability in the reelection. is that the understanding ticket. >> that's right. it's such a pleasure talking to you instead of regular media because they don't understand the intricacies of politics. you're a former governor and a half things work. if you want to get things done, and chicago is a different place than arkansas but in -- >> mike: you do have a repetition in chicago about the politics of the city. smack that's true. i consider myself their side of that. i would approach the democrats and how not to do the right thing for people they couldn't do it. there always had to be something in it for what they wanted pretend they were people that

you did associate with donny brasco and his connection to a close in fact probably a deeper connection to rezco and brought obama. somehow that relationship worked out. rezco isn't it prisoner and not. >> two things. first of all on that senate seat just your audience knows, there are taped conversations. they taped our phones. the accuser accused me by taking snippets of conversations out of context, so sign up for financial goal, this is a single and i'm not doing this for nothing, all the rest. they don't give you the full context. now the irony is this the one that had me arrested and a process that removes me from office went to court and won't allow the states to be heard. i want those tapes to be heard. you'll hear the whole truth. one of us is lying here and it made me. immitates will tell you what the truth is. with regard to rezco i read my book i made some misjudgments. we all been in we are only human. the air is humid and to forgive

is divine. i didn't know he was the person who turned out to be as president obama did not know he was the person he turned out to be. as i write in the book what president obama said of their pleasure for their purchased property together, it was a boneheaded relationship looking back with hindsight of 2020 hi quality stupid relationship i never, ever violated any law, i never considered violating a law much less intent to violate a law in the truth, my comment is in those tapes speak and we will come back row with you and patti. i want to talk with you more about what really took place, and a couple questions i want to ask about think you've been asked before and i'm anxious to get an answer to these i thank my good are interesting. on city wrote the book it because his family needs the money. the new law would force them to surrender any profits that the former governor is convicted next year. come out next year we will ask ron and patti that's -- what they will do if that happens. we will be right back. my name is chef michael. and my dog bailey and i love to hang out in the kitchen...

so she can watch me cook. you just love the aromas of beef tenderloin... and, ooh, rotisserie chicken. yes, you do. [ barks ] yeah. you're so special, you deserve a very special dog food.

speak on her back with ryan and patti little of each. roger on our show and at that time that you are close to recount on a show called i'm a celebrity get me out of hear. that had to have been a pretty crazy experience. why did you do it keep you connected it up for a lot of reasons, but the main reason was that they wanted has been on the show. so through circumstances be under control he was not able to go and nbc continue with this offer would it take his place. so we had to think about it a lot and do some soul-searching because i've never been away from her children or anyone time at all. but it was an opportunity to be able to help support my family. in a significant way. after my husband was removed from office, i got fired from a job working at a not-for-profit that help homeless people because they didn't like the publicity, that it might be cameras coming to work, so we were in a situation where both

of us were unemployed and i had this opportunity to this very unconventional thing to help support my family but it would allow us to stay in the home that our daughters have been living in since they were babies to love and to continue to go to the school they have been going through. i felt with all that was going on around us, i needed to keep things as stable as possible for them and that meant keeping some things like their home the same while we're living in the middle of this speech and it is difficult to maintain a normal way of life because your income is gone, your income is gone. the book may be a way you can recover some income, and yet representative jack franks of eleanor has gotten past a piece of legislation that says if you're convicted -- actually tried to say you can't get me profits off the book. >> this law that's unconstitutional would apply right now. they could actually prevent me from writing a living on the book. i welcome the challenge. i know what the first amendment is that i think it's ridiculous. if i could say how great patti

was to do that. she ate a transient in the jungles of costa rica, all this because she's a loving mother and the circuits. she deserves all the credit. i was left for the whole month of june for heart with her two little girls. >> that's a reality show. cnet *your question. there is a possibility in the trial one thing you have to do is to bring some people in to testify. would you subpoena round the manual to testify if it meant the difference between you being free and going to jail to keep. >> absolutely. not only that but to the extent you can actually ask the president of the united states to come -- >> sp tennis my next question. will you ask the president to testify at your trial? >> i would certainly be interested in doing that. i would love to have him as a star witness whether or not it could happen. i don't know. the show obama could well be a witness in this case it is there are some relationships with donny brasco she can shed light on which would put in context these false allegations in relation to me.

senator harry reid, senator durbin, senator menendez, the leading democrats, let me point out it's not that they did anything wrong either. we have political discussions about trying to put together the best result for the people of illinois. write in the book i said my first choice was the someone i did not like. can i make her a senator warner father's been blocking things. it was the best thing i could get for the people saw decided that's what we should do. again, that's the truth. if i could just make it clear again, the prosecutor who brought the false charges and said he was topping the crimes -- a crime spree before it happened, the morning before, this is a computer coincidence, the morning before and telling my chief of staff over the telephone i want him to work out the tactics on this deal. the next morning at 6:00 am with fbi agents at our home and our bedroom and our little annie, five years old crawl into bed with us. she was sleeping. >> mike: that would be horrible and transfer anybody. i want to ask your question.

did david axelrod, one of the chief advisers to the president, ever ask you about running for president? did that happen to give. >> it's ironic, i was at o'hare airport in chicago, it's a people that wanted autographs and a guy came up to me with a picture of me and that u.s. senator barack obama, and then the governor, it's a color photo guessing autograph and i wrote a tale of two guys whose careers have different directions and i signed it. but the day after john kerry was the by president bush, david axelrod worked for me when i was a congressman, call me at home on wednesday and suggested that the midwestern two face democrat from the heartland of america was the right profile to challenge hillary clinton in the next election season you should consider that happen online. he was obviously trolling around for potential candidates. interestingly had the right horse in the stable already. >> mike: and it would be interesting if he was acknowledging you will assess

mr. axelrod. rod and anything you for being here. nice to have your. >> coming up, her cooking is so good it almost taste it right through the tv screen. polity and will join us. we'll be right back. decisions, decisions.

you go to the dictionary of something like fear of open spaces. but it is basically a fear of leaving your safety zone. and that's usually the home. you don't run into augora phobics, let me tell you. >> mike: both of your parents died when you're young and they were young. >> my mom was 44 my brothers were 12 and 16. i was 19 and 23 so everybody in the mix was very, very young. yes. it just really stopped my toe. i tripped and i didn't know how to get back up speaking the words of the bank to give. >> i worked off and on. there were times it was better than others. but the stink and lincoln never left me. it never left me. and if i was in the stage where i could go out and never went about it to prevent. speak anywhere held up at the bank. >> i was. i was getting better, doing so much better, and this guy with a

full mask ran in with a loaded gun and there was two of us at the bank and ran straight up to me and put the gun to my temple, and it was just dancing all around and i said well you know, my biggest fear is finally here. i am fixing to die. it is there's no way he cannot shoot me out of just pure reflexes. i mean this man was scared to death. i found out the story about why he was so scared when he saw me i found out a few months down the road. but i was so fearful that was going to set me back even more. and it sent me back a little bit, but thank god for the serenity prayer. it sounds so simplistic and so juvenile, but i'm a very simplistic first and treated i am not the brightest crayon in

the box. so it took me 20 years to realize what i was supposed to be asking god for, and he tells us that in the serenity prayer. some things we cannot change, it does not matter. i cannot change my mother and daddy's death matter how hard mentally i try to fight it. accept it, move onto something that i can change. and so i did that. and within a two-year. of that morning when it was working years old, and got up in the serenity prayer went through my head and made sense, i took responsibility for myself. something i've never done. i was my daddy's baby. i went from his house to my husband's house at the age of 18 years old. don't do it. no shoe ever do that. speaking was actually a dr. phil that help you but not to dr. phil was the phil donahue show package was phil donahue.

he came on at 9:00 o'clock in the morning. and every morning five days a week, and i sat down at the -- on the foot of my bed and i cried for one hour. and everybody he was talking about was me. they would -- they were telling my story. and believe it or not i felt much better about it had a name and i was not looking. i got worse before it got better >> mike: but you knew that something could be done. how do i get to you when i see you now and watch her show and i think about the way it influenced so many people and i just joined and encouragement and laughter and great comfort food to some of the people, it is hard for me to picture you in those days. >> i know you cannot say you've gotten over it well and thank you so much for being here tonight thank you my dear. i think the governor should come to my kitchen and cook. don't you love to give it and i
