8:01 pm
ronnessen, what's it leak inside the real west wing? and pollster frank luntz, tell us what are americans really, really angry about? we are going to ask him. by the way, did you in that we're celebrating the one year anniversary of this show? and that means the one year anniversary with our house band, the little rockers, they're going to be with us tonight for a very special tune as we have the first year anniversary celebration of the huckabee show with the little rockers. we think air going to have a great time and hope that you'll enjoy yourselves. did you hear the rantings and ravings from libyan dictator moammar qadaffi at the united nations? this guy talked so long, even his own interpreter collapsed saying he couldn't take it anymore. so conan o'brien and the tonight show helped us know what the heck qadaffi was talking about: the speech went over 90 minutes i think he was supposed to speak for 15 minutes, he went on for
8:02 pm
90 minutes and as usual he was all over the place. take a look at this: (applaus (applause) >> that's probably the most sense at that qadaffi made. i watched that stuff, it was all i could do to keep from pulling an elvis and shooting out the screen of my tv this week, to see this tag team of terrorist dictators come to the podium of the united nations to spout their lunacy. moammar qadaffi, ahmadnejad and hugo chavez all were given stage
8:03 pm
time as if they were legitimate leaders of civil governments. they're murdering thugs despicable despots. their raging rants were bad enough, but made worse for the fact that u.s. taxpayers like you and me are paying for a big churning chunk of it. the u.s. pays 27% of the peace keeping mission, in all, we contribute over 5 billion dollars a year directly to this bloated bureaucracy that doesn't have the courage to call out members who violate human rights at will, pollute and exploit the planet, engage in terror, or who trample the rights of its women and subjugate them to the status of yard animals. the conference of nations to discuss in a forum of mutual concerns and seek peaceful solutions is a noble one. and foster relieve to nation ins crisis that's worthy. but the united nations has
8:04 pm
become the international version of acorn, with the culture of corruption and cowardess, it takes american money by the fistful and then uses its fist to beat us over the head with criticism. enough! get out the jackhammers, cut the thing loose from the edge of the east river and float the entire block of concrete to any nation willing to put up with its collection of spoiled diplomates and who are willing to pay for the care and upkeep like we have in america. now, we can send a couple of people over where it decides to locate to listen, but let other nations pay the freight. i'm tired of the the america bashing, whether from punk nation that is use the microphones we pay for to trash us or even our own president who needs to stop apologizing for his perception of our excesses and start acknowledging our exceptionalism. noi in the grand scheme of a federal budget of 5 trillion dollars, 5 billion might seem
8:05 pm
leak chump change, but that's real money that's not helping americans put food on the table and providing jobs for family. if the u.n. is going to continue to be a forum for fruits, nuts and flakes, let them fill the bowl somewhere else. i'm sure the diplomates would love the saudi summers, sucking up the sand. or maybe in tehran, where ahmadnejad can talk all day and he won't even have to travel. well, that's my view and i welcome yours.

8:06 pm
irs out of business and chuck norris does a pushup he isn't lift being himself up, he's pushing the earth down. mike is a principled authentic conservative. >> chuck norris doesn't endorse, he tells america now it's going to be. i'm mike huckabee and i approve this message. so did chuck. chuck norris approved. well, that little ad got a lot of play during the campaign. and by the way, i want you to know chuck norris does not necessarily approve of president obama's health care plan. he and his wife gina join us from the ranch in lonestar state of texas to tell us why. chuck and gina, i'm so glad to see you guys. welcome to the show today. >> hi, mike, it's great to see you, happy anniversary. >> yeah, we wish we were there to get a chance to meet your audience, maybe next time. >> they're fantastic. >> mike: they are fantastic as are you, and we're looking forward, i think you guys may be with us in new york in the coming days near, nearby and i hope that's coming up.
8:07 pm
i want to get right to a very important question, chuck, you've written several articles in world net daily in your column on the particular internet site that-- talked about some concerns and anxieties that you have with the proposal that's floating about in washington called health care reform. tell me what is the thing that troubles you the most that americans need to know about what's being proposed? >> well, mike, you know, last august we got the universal health care bill online and gina and i started trying to read it, but it's like, reading latin. and so we had to bring in our legal team to decipher it for us to-- and so anyway, as they are telling us exactly what's in this health care bill, the more frustrated we got and as you said, i wrote an article about the health care bill where the government would have the authority to come into our home and tell us how to parent our kid and i wrote the-- wrote that on world net daily
8:08 pm
and got 47 million hits so these are concerns that gina and i have that government wants to take complete control of our lives and we've got to fight them at that. >> mike: gina. >> and go ahead, mike. >> mike: well, i was just going to say, gina, i think one of the concerns that he think you guys have expressed, it's not that you're against people getting health care, but it's about the government taking a new level of control not just of that, but many other areas of our lives. >> uh-huh, i agree with you and it's like my husband said, back in august when we were as american people, able to at least review the bill, this time, we don't know what bill we can look at or how many bills there are out there and so we're concerned of what they're trying to keep from us. and a lot of the things that they're saying is raising concerns for people, but maybe it's more of what they're not saying or what they're omitting out of there that we should be asking questions for. we wanted to bring up a story that we thought with the people in the audience and your viewers
8:09 pm
could relate to. we were in russia years ago and we had the opportunity to speak to a young woman over there, who is on their government, well, they're all on government-run health care, but she was able to share with us, it takes sometimes up to a year for anybody to be able to receive health care and you could tell that they were really oppressed and not happy about it and the one thing that no one is talking about, it's another extension of health care and that's dental and vision and hearing and all the other things, well, guess what? they don't have that over there. aisle, these people, their teeth are falling out of their head, so, if their teeth are bad, what else is going on with their body and their health care and do we want that in america? >> well, the whole thing the government doesn't have the money to pay for all of that. >> that's right, that's right. >> and you know shall the thing is, mike, too, a lot of doctors have come over. i've talked to several doctors come over from europe practicing here in the states and the reason they are is because one doctor told me that he got no frustrated that he had a patient
8:10 pm
that he sent to get an mri and she had to wait eight months to get that mri and he said i got so frustrated, i couldn't take it anymore so that's why i moved to the united states so i could practice properly. >> right, but to your point, mike. >> mike: we are going to take a break and when we come back i want to continue the discussion and talk about not only what's wrong with the current health care bill, but what we could he do to make it bet sner maybe we ought to put chuck in charge? i'd be for that. we'll be right back with chuck and gina norris right after this. recommended citracal. it's a different kind of calcium. calcium citrate. with vitamin d... for unsurpassed absorption, to nourish your bones.

8:13 pm
(applause) >> we're back with chuck norris and his wife gina coming to us from texas. chuck, before we took the break, you told us there were some
8:14 pm
issues you had with government control, but i want to talk about, if we put chuck norris in charge what would health care reform look like? what would be some elements you think we ought to be doing. >> great questions many the 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 right now have been laid off by small business, so let's use the rest of that money and, you know, and help shore up the small businesses throughout our country. and make them successful and that will bring all the unemployment back into the work place and i think that's the thing we need to do immediately. >> mike: you know, something that you have been part of our whole life, chuck, let's face it, i think everybody knows era pretty fit guy. personality responsibility, taking charge of one's own health. that's got to be a part of any reform in terms-- and i know the government can't make us healthy. the government can't force us to
8:15 pm
eat right and exercise, but at some point, we've got to address the fact that there is a health crisis, even more than there is a health care crisis. >> it is. you know, the thing is i'm pushing 70 years of age, i'll be 70 next march and the thing is that's important for me to stay healthy because he have' got eight-year-old twins that i want to be able to grow up and enjoy and so, you know, being-- watching your diet and exercising regularly is imperative to avoid a lot of the illnesses that are happening in our country today. remember, two-thirds of our people are overweight in america, and we really need to rectify that problem. >> mike: you know, gina, i was watching chuck and talking he's 70 next march and i'm thinking he just sold a whole bunch of total gyms right now, by gosh if that's what it will do for me and look that great at 70, but you know-- >> it's so true. >> mike: it is true. and af been with you guys at the
8:16 pm
ranch and one of the first things i did to check out do you really have all that have exercise equipment. yeah, you really do. it's something that both of you take very seriously. the issue of health care reform though, it does come back to individuals responsibly taking care of themselves and the government forming maybe a safety net for those things like severe disabilities that people can't help that they can't deal with. >> well, you know, mike, we just want today say that we agree that we need some type of reform, there's no denying that. putting caps probably in place for premiums and maybe bringing small businesses altogether where they can afford health insurance for their employees, but what we think, we need to get government to cut up big daddy's credit card and we need to get our debt paid off and a balanced budget amendment so we can move forward for a better tomorrow for our children and so people can go back to work and be happy and excited again in what they do. >> mike: well, i want to say thanks to both of you.
8:17 pm
it's always a measure to be with you, look forward to seeing you in new york, god bless you and the children. [applause] >> you know, chuck and gina have done something that people in congress haven't done. they've actually read the bill. as now, the white house press secretary is usually that of a thankless and sleepless jobs and spends waking hours taking tough questions and criticism from the press. coming up, former white house press secretary dana per reno and ronnessen.

8:20 pm
(applause) >> they're the voice of the presidency, facing the firing squad of the press corps, and
8:21 pm
it's a 24/7 job. what's is like being the white house spokesperson? we'll ask two people who held the position, ron nesson who held the position under gerald ford and dana perino one of the four secretaries who serve under president george w. bush. delighted to have you both here. ron and dana, thank you for being a part of the show today. ron, start with you, you're coming to us from washington today. you had a unique background. you were the white house press corps for 12 years with nbc, he abruptly resigned after the pardon of nixon and looked to you for the job that had to be as thankless as any press secretary had been thrown into. what did you say first to president ford when you said, if i'm going to do this, this is what i have to know. >> that's a good question and i did have that conversation and as you say, i had covered the white house, both as a upi correspondent and as an nbc correspondent and i've seen good
8:22 pm
press secretaries and bad press seconds and the good press secretaries got their information firsthand. they could attend the meetings and met with the president every day, they heard the discussions, watched the decisions being made. they didn't have to go around and ask some white house staff member, af he been asked about this, what should i say and then could get misled by staff people. anyhow, i told ford i want today get my information juries hand and he says that's the only kind of press secretary i want and by and large, he kept that promise during the whole time i was press secretary. >> mike: dana, the relationship of the president and the press secretary is a unique onement you're going out there and what you say is going to be interpreted, the press as if the president has said it so you better be right. so, how close a conversation did you have with president bush on a daily basis in order to make sure that what you were saying was really accurate to what he would have said had he stood at that podium? >> one of the most important things is that level of trust between a president and a press
8:23 pm
secretary and we had a mind meld in a lot of ways. i could get a question about something that happened overnight. i wouldn't even need to call and ask him sometimes what his position would be. because he was set in his principles, i knew what they were plus we'd had six and a half years before i took over of his position being made and then so i didn't have to guess, but a lot of that had to do with the interpersonal relationship that we had. i traveled with him everywhere he went. i thought about him all the time and it is a 24/7 news cycle now and we were constantly talking about his positions with the press corps to make sure that we could explain to the american people his decisions. i never believed that america would agree with single decision he made, but i thought i should be able to be able to explain the decision making process, and those are two different things. if you can respect the decision making process, you can respect the office. >> mike: i want to get into two of you, what we don't see when
8:24 pm
we are at home and see the press secretary coming out. what it's like standing at the podium looking there at the group. ron, i think when were you press secretary to gerald r. ford. it was a different world. before the proliferation of cable news and internet. how big a difference do you think it would be to be press secretary today in dana's time than what you experienced back in the mid 1970's? >> well, i think in some ways dana had a much harder chore than i did because just what you say, the 24 hour news cycle, the internet, we didn't have any of those. essentially, the reporters who covered the white house when i was the press secretary were doing so either for the evening news shows, which went on the air at 6:30 or on television, or the daily newspapers which had about a 6:30 evening deadline. now days, you don't have that luxury. aisle, my friend in the news media tell me that you know, when they're not covering a
8:25 pm
story they're sitting at keyboard, blogging and doing other things on the internet and they just don't have the time, i think, to dig into a story the way they did when i was in the white house. we didn't have cable television. and i think the main thing that's really changed is that i, as a journalist, had a great mentor who one time taught me the greatest lesson that any journalist could learn and he said, ron, nobody cares what you think nobody cares what you think. >> that's exactly, that's so true. >> that's not true anymore. >> that's right, i remember the first time that i actually expressed my own opinion back in like march of '09 and i was almost shocked by the feeling and liberation of it some ways. >> mike: that was after you left the white house. >> right, my opinion didn't matter, my job was to, as you said before, in your first question, my job was to articulate his decisions and his thinking on any issue and one of the things that you said what's
8:26 pm
it like behind the podium? you know, a lot of press secretaries look very calm on the surface and i was like a duck, underneath you're paddling furiously. >> mike: there's a shot of what you see at the podium or behind you. that's a room full-- >> that's a president's press briefing because there's so many people there. i don't think i drew that quite that big a crowd. >> mike: you don't think you drew that big of a crowd. >> all the big shots showed up that day, that wasn't me necessarily. >> mike: do you ever want to just blow off at one of these guys when they asked you the questions. >> oh, sure. how did you not do it. >> i didn't come close. you say do that in your office, there's a time and place for that. one, you represent the united states of america when you're at the podium. you don't just represent a political candidate. you represent the president of the united states. air not just talking to the people in the room, you're talking to people watching and everybody around the world who
8:27 pm
can see us now. i was more recognized in south korea and israel on the trips out on the streets than i was even in washington d.c. and i think partly that's because they care so much what's happening in the white house, they watch and liston every word. >> mike: i wish americans cared more, that would be helpful. we'll pick up more with dana and ron after the break and talk more and see some video from inside the white house. we'll be right back. don't go away.

(applause) >> we're back with former white house press secretary dana perino and ron lessen. you sometimes watch these and it sometimes gets heated. watch the recent ones with helen thomas and robert begins. >> i'm amazed that you people call for openness and transparency. >> you haven't heard the questions, which questions do you object to at the town hall meeting, helen.
8:32 pm
what does it matter. >> the sense of controlling the pressments how so? any cabinet going on that i'm controlling the press? >> no formal engagement are pre-packaged. >> how so? >> well, and controlling the public. that's the-- >> that are going to be called on, that's shocking. >> mike: you know, when i watch this, it doesn't matter, democrat or republican, they take an earful from the press corps. and interesting things helen thomas was there when were you there 30 years ago. when dana was there, 30 months ago. and when abraham lincoln was there 150 years ago. almost. not quite, but almost. did you ever have a moment at the podium in which you just thought, oh, my gosh, what, is there an exit door here? >> well, 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 i
8:33 pm
don't suffer fools very easily and sometime you get the feeling that there are some fools out there. i worked with helen at the upi. i worked with her when i was white house correspondent and then i faced her when i was the press secretary and now the clip that you showed illustrates something that's happened. i told you earlier about my drat mentor who said nobody cares what you think as a reporter, but that was helen, she wasn't asking a question to get an answer, to get the facts, to write a story. she was expressing an opinion and i just disagree with that. i sit at home and watch tv and yell at the screen all the time when i see reporters doing that. >> mike: dana, i want to ask you, there's a perception how did you pick this person or that one. is there a protocol that the press secretary follows in who gets to ask the question or do you pick your favorites and say there's a softball i can count on? >> there's a tradition that the press secretary calls on the
8:34 pm
senior wire reporter first and during my time, it was ap's terry hunt, now, ap's jennifer heaven levin. she is the one who gets the first question. >> mike: that's every day? >> it's a tryings did and the way, when you watch the president, even president obama, the ap usually gets the first question. that's a tradition, i don't know who started it, maybe it was ron nesson, i don't know, it seems to work fine and now, you sort of work your way up and down the rows. one thing that's nice to do in a press briefing if you can get a little bit of a flow. if there's two distinct issues in one day, like this week, robert gibbs would have been dealing with afghanistan, iran and health care. if either doing health care and the next question is iran and next is afghanistan. one thing is nice if the room is working well together and you can do health care, anybody else got a health care, finish, let's finish up the health care, great, moving on. afghanistan, go ahead and then that makes it a little smoother for everybody, but sometimes you loose control and it's accost. >> mike: we only have a few
8:35 pm
second left and i want both of new on the last question. dana, i'll start with you. tell me, if you had advice to give robert gibbs or any other press secretary out there and pull them aside, not on television, but quietly, what would you say to them? >> i would say this and maybe not anything that he doesn't realize, but it's that the audience is much larger than just the people in the room or the people in the united states. people overseas really want to hear what america thinks and if america is going to be fighting for them. especially those who are, you know, maybe fighting for freedom in their own country. they want to know that we're helping them. >> mike: ron, what would you tell them other than don't do it? what advice? >> actually, i did give advice to the press secretary. we had an event, a transition event at brookings in which we were asked to give one sentence of advice to-- and dana was on that panel, also. >> i can't remember what i said. >> what was the one sentence of advice you would have for gibbs. my one sentence of advice was the honey will end and for gibbs
8:36 pm
it ended the very first briefing. >> mike: well, that didn't last long. i've seen some weddings that lasted about that long, ron. hey, thank you very much, ron nesson and dana perino, what it's like being inside the white house. great to have both of you here. well, speaking of what it's like for something going on, what is it going to take for folks in washington to earn back your trust? frank luntz has asked that question to thousands of americans and he's going to tell us what americans really want. that's next. [applause] you were right. these healthy choice fresh mixer thingys, they taste fresh... say it again! they taste fresh. wait. what are you doing? got it. you're secretly taping me? cook it fresh, strain it fresh, mix it fresh, healthy choice fresh mixers, look for it in the soup or pasta aisle.

8:39 pm
8:40 pm
(applause) icht. >> mike: if you really want to know what's on the minds of americans, you need to ask my next guest, year in, year out, he talks to thousands of americans from all walks of life and gets to the heart of what's going on in our minds. his latest book is called "what people really want really" polster frank luntz is here. good to have you here. [applause] >> your book is a fascinating insight into the american psyche and one of the things that intrigues me is the methodology, it's one thing to say, this is what americans are thinking. a lot of people want it know how do you know that? how do you know? >> if you talk to a million people over the last 15 years on telephone, face-to-face, e-mail,
8:41 pm
sessions like these, and this book has a poll in it. 6400 people respond over a four month period to questions about values, morality, employment, religion and what i tried to do for an audience like this is to give the play book for what americans really want to make their jobs more satisfactory. to make government work better. if you want to know the language and what's frustrating to me, i watch the town hall meetings and there's a lot of passion and emotion, but it's not necessarily effective. in this book, is what to say at the town hall meeting. in this book is what to say to a member of congress to have the greatest impact. >> mike: i know that you have built a career talking about the fact that word matter. the previous book was called "words at that work", a word that you talk about in this book that doesn't work is capitalism, but the word entrepreneur works. so, why, what's the difference? . because when you hear that capitalism, ceo's that made a
8:42 pm
lot of money and you think of the people who lost their jobs. when you hear the free market system you think of wall street. economic freedom is what we still believe in. the principle is still there, but the language has changed. you can't call something tort reform, which is what the republicans are trying to do in washington because most people think that torts are a french pastry and you don't call them personal injury lawyers, you do call them personal injury lawyers, when i say that they probably think ambulance chaser. there's right and wrong way. don't call it state tax, call it death tax. don't call it drilling for oil. all it energy. >> mike: what do americans want that want this better for their children. >> two things bothered me. only 57% of americans think the country will be better off in the future and 44% think that their kids will inherit a worst quality of life than them.
8:43 pm
we've never had the sense of intergenerational pessimism. >> we've always said whatever my generation is going through we are going to lift our kids up on our shoulders and see things we've never seen, do things we've never done. go places we've never gone. what's that america is, gives a little better than the one before and i've certainly lived that and many of us have. that's a frightening thing if americans have started losing their optimism when they really need to be thinking what could be best for their kids. how can we fix that. >> six ways, in here, does it fast. >> mike: okay. >> if you want your children to be happy, healthy, well adjusted and drug and alcohol free, number one, how often do you have dinner with them. you have to have dinner with your kids five nights a week or more because that says that your children matter more than anything else in life. number two, you take them to religious services because then they believe in something greater than them. it changes how they relate to everything in life. number three, you check their homework, three nights a week or
8:44 pm
more, because it's interheck actual. it's important how we develop physically. number four, do you demand the truth where they are on friday and saturday nights and tell you the truth. if they'll lie about that they'll lie about everything. number five, you have to go on a one week at least a week trip with them and leave the blackberry at home. you do not text, i've seen parents text in front of their children. and how damaging that is. and number six, the kids participate in the team sport and they learn about respecting each other and their colleagues. those are six-- and they're in order by the way. the six most powerful indicators of happiness and health and that's what this is meant to be. it's actually meant to give you the ingredients to learn to appreciate government again. by the way what do we want most out of government in a word, you guys have the chart if you want to pull it up there, more than anything else, we want accountability. we're tired of washington telling us what they think we want to hear. we want people who look us straight in the eye and say what they mean and mean what they say.

(applaus (applause) >> last week we launched a partnership, and all the proceeds want to play fund, go in the hands of students. and the guitar was signed by celebrities who appeared on the show. the auction is about to close so
8:49 pm
bid now. you search for want to play fund and go to the website. today marks one year since the debut. since we do things differently here than most cable shows. we want to celebrity the anniversary, truly unique features of the house band called the little rockers, i think because i used to live in little rock, that's the deal. i don't know why. the band is made up of very talented amateur musicians who were professionals in the news business and have regular jobs at fox news and over the course of the year had almost two dozen different fox employees play with the band and these are people that work behind the scenes. and that's what's made it so much fun for us, and a lot of our guys have been able to play with some of the greatest names in the business when the celebrity and guest artists come to be with us. this week we have fox news chief religion correspondent lauren green on the keyboard.
