2:01 am
s, what is it like inside of the real west wining and we'll learn the news behind the news. polsters tell us what are americans really, really angry about? we'll ask him . by the way, did you know that we are celebrating one-year anniversary of the show? and that means one-year anniversary with our house band the little rockers, they will be with us for a special tune as we have the first year anniversary celebration of the huckabee show with little rockers. we'll figure to have a great time and hope you willen joy yourself. did you hear the ranting ravings from libyan leadership gadhafi in the united nations? he talked so long even his own intrepret ator collapsed and conan o'brien helped us to know what the heck gadhafi was talking about. >> gadhafi, it went over 90 minutes . he was spoked to speak 15
2:02 am
minutes and as usual he was all over the place. take a look at this. >> (speaking foreign language) >> that's the most sense gadhafi made. >> i watched that stuff, it was all i could do from you pulling an elvis to keep from shooting out my screen. sees terrorist dictator to come to the united nations to spout their lunacy. gadhafi and chavez and
2:03 am
ahmadinejad all begin stage time as if they were legitimate leaders of civil governments. they are murdering thugs and despicable despots and raging rants were bad enough and made worse by the fact that u.s. taxpayers like you and me are paying for a chunk of it. the united states pays 22 percent of the total operating budget of the united nations 27 percent of the peace keeping mission. we contribute over five billion to the dureracy who don't have the courage to call out members that exploit the planet and trample the rights of the women and subkrugate them to the status of yard animals. the concept of a community ofination to discuss mutual concerns and bringing peaceful solutions is a noble one, the idea to help foster relief to nations in crisis is worthy.
2:04 am
but the united nations is the international version of a.c.o.r.n. with a culture of corruption and callousness and takes the american money by the fist full and beats us over the head with criticism. enough, get out the jack hammers and cut the thing loose from the east of the east river and float it to a nation who will put up with the spoiled diplomats and willing to pay for the upkeep like we have in america. we can send a couple of people over where it decides to locate to listen. but let other nations pay the freight. i am tiebreakered of the america bashing. punk nations that use the micophones we pay for to trash and the president who apologize for his perception of the excesses and acknowledge our exceptionalism. in the grand scheme much
2:05 am
billions five billion is chump chain. but that is not providing jobs for families . so if the u.n. is going to be a forum for fruits, nuts and flakes. let them fill the bowl somewhere else. i am sure the diplomat would love the saudi summers soaking up the sand and tehran where ahmadinejad can talk all day and he doesn't have to travel. that is my view and i welcome yours f. you would like to comment go to mikehuke huke.com. share your comments on mikehuckabee.com. my first guest is a actor and political activist and cultural icon whom i spent a lot of time with campaigning for president next year. >> my plan to secure the bordertwo words. chuck noris. mike huckabee wants to put the
2:06 am
i.r.s. out of the business. chuck noris doesn't lift himself up. he is pushing the earth down. mike is principled conservative. chuck noris doesn't endorse, he tell us america how it is going to be. i am mike huckabee and i approved this message and so did chuck. chuck noris approved. >> well, that adgot a lot of play in the campaign . you know chuck noris is not approved of president obama's health care plan. he and his wife join us from the ranch in the lone star state of texas to tell us why. chuck and gina. welcome to the show today. >> hi, mike. it is great to see you and happy anniversary. >> wish we were there and get a chance to meet your audience. >> they are fantastic. >> as are you and we are looking forward, you guys are with us in new york in the coming days nearby . i hope that is coming up.
2:07 am
we'll get right to an appropriate're important question. chuck you wrote several articles in your column on the peculiar - particular internet site concerns about the proposal that is floating in washington called health care reform. tell me what troubles you the most that americans need to know about what is proposed? >> mike, you know last august, we got the universal health care bill on line and gina and i started trying to read it it was like reading latin and so we brought in our legal team to desipper it for us . they were telling us what is in the health care bill, the more frustrated we got . as you said, i wrote an article about the health care bill where the government would have the authority to come in our home and tell us how to parent our kids . i wrote that on that and it
2:08 am
got 47 million hits . so these are concerns that gina and i have that government wants to take complete control of our lives . we have got to fight them at that. >> and go ahead, mike. >> gina, i was going to say one of the concern that is you guys expressed is that you are not against people getting health care but the government taking a new level of control, not just that but many other area was our lives. >> uh-huh. i agree with you. like my husband said back in august, the american people were revying the bill, this time we don't know what bill we can look at or how many bills are out there and so we are concerned at what they are keeping from us . a lot of the things that they are saying is raising concern for people. but maybe it is what they are omitting out of there that we should be asking questions for. we wanted to bring up a story that the people in the
2:09 am
audience and your viewers could relate tompt we were in russia years ago and we had the opportunity to speak to a young women over there is on government run health care. she was able to share with us. it takes up to a year for anybody to be able to receive health care. you can tell they were oppress not happy about it . one thing no one is talking about. it is another exof health care. dental and vision and they don't have that. their teeth are falling out of their head. if their teeth are bad, what else is going on with their body and health care? do we want that in america? >> the government doesn't have the money to pay for that. >> and mike, a lot of doctors have come over and i talked to doctors in europe who are now practicing here in the states and the reason they are, is because one doctor told me he got so frustrated he had
2:10 am
patient to get an mri and she had to wait eight month to get the mri. i got so frustrate thad i couldn't take it anymore. that's why i moved to the united states so i could practice properly. >> we are going to take a break and we'll continue the discussion and talk about not only what is wrong with the current health care bill but what to make it better. maybe we ought to put chuck in charguse, faster and easier

2:14 am
issues with the whole thing of government control. i want to talk about if we put chuck noris in charge. what would health care reform look like and clementelements to be doing? >> first thing i would want to do if i was in charge, mike, i would use the rest of the stimulus money to shore up small business in america. remember the millions of people who are unemployed are laid off by small business and let's use the money to shore up the small businesses in our country and make them successful and i would bring all unemployment back in the workplace. i think that is the thing we need to do immediately. >> uh-huh. >> you know, something you have been part in your whole life, you are a fit guy. personal responsibility, taking charge of one's own health. that has to be a part of the reform. i know the government can't make us healthy and force us
2:15 am
to eat right and exercise. but at some point we have to address the fact that there is a health crisis even more than a health care crisis. >> uh-huh. the thing is, i am pushing cent years of age . i will be 70 next march. the thing for me to stay healthy, i have eight year old twins i want to enjoy them . being and watching your diet and exercising regularly is imperative to avoid a lot of the illnesses that are happening in our country today. remember two-thirs of our people are overweight in america and we need to rectify that problem. >> gina, i was watching chuck and he's going to be 70. he sold a bunch of total gyms right now. if that is what it will do for me and look that great at 70. >> so true. >> it is true. >> i have been with you guys in the ranch and one of the
2:16 am
first things i did. do you really have all of that exercise equipment. yeah, you really do. it is something you take seriously. the issue of health care reform. it does come back to individual's responsibly taking care of themselves and government forming may be a safety net for those things like severe disabilities that people can deal with. >> you know, mike, we wanted to say that we agree we need reform. there is no denying that. and putting cap in place for premiums and maybe bringing in small businesses altogether where they can afford health insurance for their employees. we need to get government to cut up big daddy's credit card and get our debt paid off and balance budget amendment so we can move forward to a better tomorrow for our children and people can go back to work and be happy and excited in what they do. >> thanks to both of you. it is always a pleasure to
2:17 am
with you . my best to the kid and god bless and you thank you for all you do. see you in november. >> see you then. >> [applause] >> you know chuck and joina have something most people in congress haven't done. they read the bill. >> the white whoit press secretary is a thankless and a sleepless job . that's how they spend the chunk of the waking hours. taking questions and criticism from the press.! nbc.
2:18 am
2:19 am
2:20 am
2:21 am
one resigned after the pardon for nixon and he looked to you. what did you say to president ford when you first took that job and said look, if i am going to do this, this is what i have to know in >> i did have that conversation and as you say, i had covered the white house as a upi correspondant and nbc correspondant and i had seen
2:22 am
good and bad press secretaries . good ones got information first hand and attended the meetings and met with the president and watched the decisions being made. they didn't have to go around and ask a white house staff member. i have been asked about this what should i say. they can get misled. i told ford i wanted my information first hand and he said that is the only kind of press secretary iment. by and large he kept that promise in the whole time i was press secretary. >> dana, the relationship of the president and press secretary is a unique one. you are going out there and what you say is interperted as if the president has said it and you better be right. how close of a conversation did you have with president obama on a daily basis to make sure what you were saying is really accurate to what he would have said. >> one of the most important things is the level of trust between the president and
2:23 am
press secretary. we had a mind meld. i could get a question of what happened overnight. i wouldn't have to ask him what his position would be. he was set in his principles and plus, we is had six and half years before i took over of his position being made and so i didn't have to guess. but a lot of that had to do with the innerpersonal relationship that we had. i traveled with him everywhere hewent and i tout thought about him all of the time . it is a 24-7 . constantly talking about his position with the press corp to make sure we explained to the american people his decisions. i never believed america would agree with the decisions, but i thought i should be able to explain the decision-making process and those are two different things. you can respect it and thosts. >> what we don't see if we are watching television at home and the press secretary comes
2:24 am
out. what is it really like standing at the podium looking at that group. ron, when you were press secretary to gerald r. ford there was a different world it was before the day of proliferation of cable news and internet, and so how big of a it would be to be press secretary today in dana's time than what you experienced back in the mid1970s? >> well, in some ways, dana had a harder chore than i did, because of just what you say, the 24 hour news cycle, the internet and we didn't have any of those . the reporters who covered the white house when i was the press secretary were doing so either for the evening news shows that went on the air at 6: 30 on television or the daily newspaper which had a 6: 30 evening deadline. now adays you don't have that luxery. my friend in the the news media tell me when they are
2:25 am
not covering a story they are at the key board blog doing other things on the internet, and they just don't have time to dig into a story the way they did when i was in the white house. we didn't have cable television . i think the main thing that has changed is that i as a journalist had a great mentor who taught me the greatest lesson any journalist can learn. ron, no one cares what you think. >> that is exactly so true. >> that's not true anymore. and first time i expressed my own opinion in march 09 and i was shocked by the feeling and liberation of it. >> that was after you left the white behite? >> right. my opinion didn't matter. my job was to in the first question. to articulate his decisions and his thinking on any issue . one of the things what is it
2:26 am
like to be behind podium. a lot of press secretaries look calm on the service. like a duck. you are paddling furously. >> there is a shot of what you see. >> that is a president's press briefing. there are so many people there. i didn't draw that bigave crowd. >> you didn't think so? >> i think so. >> looking at all of the big shots showing up that day. that was not me necessarily. >> did you ever want to blow off at one of these guys. >> sure. >> you never did it you were unable. >> you say do that in your office. but a couple of things. you represent the united states of america . not just a political candidate. you represent the president of the united states . you are not just talking to the people in the room, you are talking to the united states and everywhere around the world. i was more recognize indeed
2:27 am
south korea and israel on those trips on the street than i was in washington d.c. and partly that is because they care so much about what is happening in the white house. they watch and listened to every word. >> i wish americans would care more. that would be so helpful. >> we'll get more and see videos from inside of the white house. o huckabee for thek.
2:28 am
2:29 am
2:30 am
2:31 am
latest headlines go to fox news.com. >> we are back with dana and ron. >> you sometimes watch these moments at the press secretary bravings and occasionally gets heated. watch the one with helen thomas and robert gibs. >> i am amazed for you people who call for openness and transparency. >> each question you get to at the time. what is the matter?
2:32 am
>> it is the matter of controlling the press. >> how so? is there and cabinets that i am controlling the press. poorly. >> there are formal engage uponing and prepackaged. by calling reporters the night before and tell them they are going to get called. that is shocking. >> well, you know, ron, when i watch this it doesn't matter democrat or republicans, they take an earful from the press corp. helen thomas was there when you were there and dana was there 30 months ago and abraham lincoln was there. almost. but not quite. did you ever have a moment in the podium when you thought oh, my gosh is there anyone exit door here? you asked earlier about losing your temper. i think in some ways i didn't have the right temperament to be the press secretary because
2:33 am
i don't suffer fools very easily and sometimes you get the feeling that there are fools out there. i worked with helen in the upi . i worked with her when i was white house correspondant and i faced her when i was the press secretary and you know, the clip that you showed illustrates something that has happened. i told you about my great mentor who said no one cares what you think as a reporter. but that was helen. she was not asking a question to get an answer to get facts and write a story. she was expressing an opinion and i disagree with that. i yell back at the screen all of the time . i see reporters doing that. >> dan athere is a perception of how did you pick this person or that one. is there eye protocol that the press secretary follow or favorites. >> there is a tradition that they call on the senior wire
2:34 am
reporter first . in this case during my time it was terry hunt. now ap jennifer levin. she is the one who gets the first question. >> that is just every day. >> it is a tradition and when you watch the president even president obama, the ap usual he gets the first question. that is a tradition . i don't know who started it. maybe ron nessen and work your way up and down the rows much you can get a flow. if there are two distinct issues. robert gibs would be dealing with afghanistan, iran and health care. if you are doing health care and iran and one of the thing that is is nice if the room is working well together. health care . finish up health care last one, great moving on afghanistan, go ahead . that makes it smoother for everyone. sometimes you lose control and
2:35 am
it is chaos. >> i want both of you in on the last question. >> dana, if you had advice to give robert gibs and any press secretary not on television but quietly what would you say to him? >> i always say this and maybe not anything he doesn't realize, the audience is much larger than the people in the room and united states. people overseas really want to hear what america thinks and if america is going to be fighting for them and especially those who are fighting for freedom in their own country. they want to know we are helping them. >> ron, what would you tell them other than than don't do it. >> i gave advice to the price secretary. we is had a transition and one sentence of advice and dana was on the panel. what was the one sentence for gibs. my one sentence. the honeymoon will end. and for gibs it ended the
2:36 am
first briefing. >> that didn't last long. i have seen wedding that is lasted that long. ron, nelson and dana pareno. what it is like to being inside of the white house. >> speaking of what it is like for something going on. folks in washington to earn back your trust. frank has asked that question to thousands of americans and he is going to tell us what americans really want. that's next.
2:37 am

2:41 am
sessions like these. this book is a poll. 6400 people responded over's four month period to questions about value, moreralit. government . employment and religion. what i tried to do for an audience like this is give the play book for what americans really want to make their jobs more satisfactory and make government work better. if you want to know the language and what is frus straighting to me. town hall meetings and passion eight emotion and is not effective. what to say in the town hall meeting. is what to say to a member of congress to have impact. >> i know you have built a career talking about the fact that words matter. the words that work, a word that you talk about in this book that doesn't work is capitalism and word
2:42 am
entrepreneur >> ceo. capitolism. free market system you think of wall street. economic freedom and principle is there but the language ised. you can't call it tort reform which is what the republicans do. torts most americans think are a french pastry and you don't call them personal injury lawyers. you say personal injury lawyer they think ambulance chaser. there is a right way. estate tax. call it the death tax. trillion 40for oil. call it exploring for energy. >> what does americans want? >> they want to think that the country will be better for their children. two statistics bother me the most in doing the research. only scen percent of the americans knowledge that the country will be better off. 54 percent think that their kids will inherit a worse quality of life than they have.
2:43 am
we have never had generational pessism. >> we have been a nation. whatever my will go through we'll lift them on the shoulder and they will go places we have never gone. that's what america is. next generation gets it better than the one better. i have lived that and many of us have. that is a freeteneg thing if americans have lost their optimism when they need to think what is best for the kids. >> i will give you six ways and i will do it fast. if you want your children to be happy, healthy and well adjust drug free and alcohol free. number one. how often you have dinner with them? have it five nights a week or more. your children matter more than anything else in live. take them to religious services because they believe in something greater than them and changes how they relate to everything in life. check their homework. three nights a week or more.

2:45 am
