foot fall i might add and had just one small cut on her forehead. she made a splash, but never did get retch, but did inspired apparently many copycats. a barrel ride to remember 09 years ago today. and now, you know the news as fox reports this sunday, october 24th, 2010. i'm julie banderas, thanks for watching everyone, have a great week and keep it here on fox for all of your election coverage. we'll see you here next weekend. have a great week. . >> in the magazine and i quote, some in the white house say obama will find himself running against mike huckabee. who said that? what am i going to do with this huckabee guy? he's got millions watching his show on fox news every weekend. who's on tonight.

new york police commissioner ray kelly, great. he's the top cop of the biggest city in the country. they'll all be watching. the foreclosure scandal, hundreds of thousands kicked out of their homes because of shoddy paper work. can't talk about that, he'll blame it on me. massachusetts, gubernatorial candidate charles baker. i was just in beantown to rally for duval patrick. we can't allow baker on huckabee. what is it about this huckabee guy that makes him so appealing? if i watch the show i can learn something. hey, get fox news on my tv in the oval office. yeah, you heard me right, fox news. and let me be clear, i don't want anyone to know i'm watching fox news. [laughte [laughter] >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee.

[applaus [applause] >> thank you very much and thank you, mr. president, for watching tonight. welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. okay, i've got to start with a personal word here, you know? texas rangers are going to be in the world series and i know i'm saying this in new york and probably going to get beat up with the crew afterwards it's a long time coming and having grown up three blocks from where the stadium is, yankees are a great team and city, go rangers, just got to say it. [applause] >> desperate democrats are waging attack against candidates who support the fair tax and that's the most thoroughly researched and documented plan to overhaul the 67,000 pages of the tax codes to make it fair, flat, finite and family friendly. either they're dishonest or

just plain dumb when they allege it's going to raise tacks. the fair tax doesn't raise taxes, it replaces taxes on our productivity with a tax on consumption. now, most critics of the fair tax understand less about it than they do about the inner workings of a nuclear reactor, so let me try to speak slowly and clearly so that even harry reid can understand it. [laughter] e. >> mike: and that means it has to be pretty simple. people have been hurting and i understand that. and it doesn't give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me we'd be in a worldwide depression. [laughter] e. >> mike: thank you, harry. you've done such a fine job for nevada and the rest of the country. i want you to know i've raised three kids and now that they're grown and gone, my wife and i have three dogs. i learned something from raising kids and training dogs and here it is. if you reward behavior, you get more of it. if you punish it, you get less

of it. our current tax system penalizes and punishes productivity by taxing our work, our savings, our investments, cant gains, even our debt and it rewards mismanagement and reckless behavior by getting tax benefits by failing at the expense of people who succeeded. the critics of the fair tax who say it's regressive, seem incapable how the-- it unfairly taxes the poor and empowers rather than enslaves them which does now by punishing them for working harder and earning more. the fair tax stops congress from picking the winners and losers in the marketplace and abolishes the irs. you'll get your full paycheck, no deduction and the hidden 22% tax on everything you bewill disappear and only pay tacks when you buy a new item at the retail level in a way

that's totally transparent and ends the underground economy and then prostitutes, pimps, gamblers, drug dealers and illegals will pay the same tacks that you do. here is my offer. i offer to debate any of the democrat candidates who dare on the fair tax and before one of them accepts, i hope that they will at least take the time to know what the heck they're talking about. i welcome the debate, but i certainly kind of feel bad about engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. current tax system is one that if you like it and think it's helping our economy and creating jobs. hey, vote for the democrats because they want to tax you even more. but if you think we can do better then you might want to do what some democrats are afraid of doing, actually find out about the fair tax. that's my view and i welcome yours. you can contact me at mike on the fox news

feedback session. when i heard that npr fired my colleague juan williams, i was the first to cut federal funds to the radio network and i'm happy to dejim demints and tom coburn are looking at proposing legislation to strip funding from npr. and juanwell williams, thank yo for joining he moo today. >> glad to be someplace i can call home. >> mike: you certainly can. this has been a crazy week in so many ways for you, you've certainly been given a lot of exposure on fox news, what can i ask you that you haven't been asked. what can you tell me that you haven't said? where do we go there? you tell me first. >> well, you know, the thing about talking you, governor, it's always been with me and you certainly, it's been

personal and one they think that happened in the midst of this is contacting my children and found myself in those moments, the rest of the time you've got to be strong and involved in a fight, but when you talk to the kids you just want to make sure nobody's picking on him. nobody is saying your dad is a bigot, your dad is crazy or something, you know, this woman, the head of npr, suggested that i have a seek tris or something. and then of course, they go off on this business about attempting to disparage my whole career as a journalist, that many' not a good journalist, that i'm not reliable, i'm a loose cannon, all in an attempt, i think, to undermine me. but when i reached out to the kids, worry that they might think, hey, dad, you did something wrong, they were so terrific, governor, and i said to em ththem, i hope i haven't e anything to embarrass you and governor, they just came back and said, dad, we love you. and it meant so much to me.

>> mike: juan, i think sometimes we forget that people seen on television leak you, they know you in the professional capacity, but you're a father and you have a family and those are the things that you value most, but that's what i really wanted to talk about with you, is the impact of on you personally. when you laid your head on the pill pillow after first night you had been given notice by telephone, not even in person, from npr. what was going through your head. >> it's interesting. governor, we're three nights out from it and i haven't been sleeping and it keeps going on in my head and i can't quite get it. if anybody missed it i said to bill o'reilly and bill had been on the view and had gotten into a controversy in terms of saying, you know, there were muslims who attacked us on 9/11. muslims who were trying to murder americans. and he was rebuked for that and people walked off the set.

subsequently, bill and i are having a conversation on the o'reilly factor about it and i said, bill, look, when i'm in an airport and i see people dressed in muslim garb who are first and foremost identifying themselves as muslims, you know what, it makes me nervous, it causes me anxiety. there's a fear element for me and i said that's the feeling i have. now, i didn't say i wanted to discriminate against these people, i didn't say they shouldn't be able to fly airplanes or they have to go through extra secuty. i said, bill this is the way i feel and the result of that was an npr said that i had crossed some journalistic line that i was not in keeping with npr values to have simply stated how i feel in that moment. >> you know, juan, i want to tell you that i think so many americans left and right and across the political spectrum feel like your kids do. that this was not something you did wrong, this is something wrong done to you. i want to thank you for the class that you have exhibited

through this and the current and the convictions that you've stood for. it's a pleasure and privilege for me to call you a friend and colleague. thank you. god bless you, hang tough, we're proud of you. >> thanks for having me on.

>> you know the saying. read every line before you sign. apparently doesn't apply to workers who signed off on foreclosure documents without reading them and launched a nationwide investigation from the fbi into lending company's practices. joining us the president of mortgage bargaining solutions.

>> thank you. >> mike: there is a lot of news about the scandal of the mortgage companies that taptly foreclosed on people and turns out that people who were reading and signing had no experience, no background and didn't even read the foreclosure. how big a problem and an issue is this? >> the foreclosures are at record levels in our country. and it represents 23% of all sales, existing sales and it's probably going to grow to 40%, so it's a huge problem. foreclosures, now-- >> 40%? >> it's going to rise, it's predicted to rise as much as 40% of all existing home sales and it's an outstanding number. >> mike: our audience is audibly gasping if you didn't hear that and they were doing it on my behalf because many' thinking the same thing, it's staggering. it's staggering to look at 23% of existing home sales are foreclosures. the problem is we have a huge volume of loans being foreclosed and these guys supposed to sign, supposed to be an original signature on every document and in the course of trying to get

through 10,000 they want to go home and catch their kid's soccer game, whatever, and as near as we can tell they took shortcuts and stamping documents and not bothering to check if they owned the note. there were some issues and i believe the mrt industry has tried so hard to do things right and we're suffering from a volume issue at the moment and not, no within is trying to do things irresponsible or be careless. it's just sheer volume we're having to deal with. >> mike: david,s let's face it, that's just, it's wrong. somebody could lose their home and be forced out because somebody wanted to go home and watch a soccer game and went ahead and seen a foreclosure. >> it's not an excuse. >> mike: that could hurt a lot of families watching, they're going to be getting this notice and told they're out and have to get out of the whose. on the other hand. >> yes. >> mike: there is a big problem and people got into homes they could not afford. >> it's interesting. the average loan that's delinquent, foreclosed upon

isn't delinquent by 30, 60, 90 days, average across country is 484 delays delinquent. we're not talking about a problem where people, they've been living there for over a year, free. and it's come to the point, if you can't pay, you can't stay. it's a place where we've got to get this thing moved through it. and here is the bigger issue, we need to get to the bottom of this, get the government out and understand that the issues raised created questions and they need to be examined. you've got to go in in your state, a judicial forecast-- not, yours, he think yours is a nonjudicial forecast state. we've got to get out of the process of examining everything teas going on to this level. we've go to correct this problem, but got to get the government out so we can get to the bottom of this industry or bottom of this housing crisis and get moving forward on a recovery in the housing and the economy. >> mike: david, a lot of people said that the government needs to step in more. you're saying the government needs to get out.

how much did the government contribute to the mess we're in because they pushed lending institutions to loan people money that they honestly couldn't afford to pay it back? >> really great question. it started in 1977, with the carter administration, launching something called the community reinvestment act. it had great motivemotives, governor. we needed lending institutions lending into the communities where it was needed and there was a head that-- understandable hesitancy to not do so. well, what happened is in 1995, under the clinton administration, we watched the cra program. community reinvestment program expand it dangerous levels and we started looking at it in 19 and 2000 congress under pressure from regulators, they said let's start security advertising this thing called subprime loans and the wheels

came off the wagon and we're at this place right now. i know that people have responsibility for taking out more loans, but on the other hand many people were pressured, pushed and told that you can go ahead and do this and it saved and-- i guess my heart goes out to people who aren't bankers, they're not professional financiers, just people who want to live the american dream and they were sold a bill of goods. so, how do you balance the sense that you're responsible for your loan and you basically were defrauded and cheated and pushed into something that you couldn't afford frpt that's where the heart break. you look at the collateral damage this is going to people's lives. >> there were programs made available. the lending, the whole economic financial system created that opportunity, governor. well, what happened was we also need personal accountability and some folks went out and got loans they couldn't afford on homes and they did it knowing they couldn't afford it hoping a rapid appreciation, caused by,

started with cra and allowed that to happen and homes quit being a long-term investment that they needed to be and started becoming a short-term commodity trade and that part of what contributes to this. >> mike: well, it's a mess, but i thank you for being here to share your perspective. david, thank you, very very much, let me say we're going to continue to follow the mortgage crisis situation. [applause] >> the violence continues across america from lack of understanding between the police and young people in communities who question their authority. coming up, new york police commissioner ray kelly and a pastor who's launched a program that's helping cops and civilians work together to cut down on crime and to save lives. we'll be right back.

>> >> the bible teaches us to love thy neighbor. in many communities that lesson has been forgotten. >> street gangs invaded neighborhoods across america, killing our children and devastating our communities. >> when are they going to stop? when are they going to put the-- is it going to take for at that tonight is us. who will it be tomorrow? >> this week in the nation's capital. 19-year-old man died of multiple gunshot wounds, raising d.c.'s 2010 homicide rate to 104. and also this month. a gang fight broke out after a youth event if oklahoma city, killing one and injuring five young girls. according to chicago police of the 344 murders in the city today, half are gang related and half the number of murder victims were 25 years old or younger. new york city police have

noticed the surge in what community leaders called black on black violence. the city's homicide rate of young african-american males is 12 teams higher than white counterpart. these statistics prompted a new initiative in the city. the n.y.p.d. under the leadership of commissioner ray kelly is joining forces with some of new york's pastors, for the program to reduce crime, save lives, and perhaps restore the love thy neighbor lesson back to new york's communities. >> please welcome new york police officer commissioner ray kelly and gerald seabrooks. >> (applause) >> commissioner, let me ask you, what was the catalyst for getting the new partnership established between the new york city police department and the spiritual community in brooklyn. >> the catalyst was that the core leadership of clergy in brooklyn simply got fed up with the level of violence,

black on black crime, they see themselves as being disproportionately victimized by violent crimes and they came together, came to us with the clergy initiative to band together and to do things in a collaborative fashion to reduce the level of young people killing themselves and killing each other over stupid issues in theircommunity. >> there's been long tradition of distrust and hostility over the police department, being tough on. has this created for you any issues with your -- >> a group of pastors in the brooklyn area, we need to develop a better relationship between the african-american community and the police. and we tharng commissioner

kel kelly. and how does it work, police officers are in the churches or what ways, are you partnering to get in message out to the people. >> well, just this morning, for instance. a group of clergy up at the police range went through a series of scenarios and the bishop will tell you it was an eye opener as to what police experience. they hitterly have a bully pulpit. they can take to their congregation about the dangers of guns. we are going to have a grandmother's program where women executives in the police department come together with grandmothers who are now defacto household leaders in significant numbers of homes in the core areas of brooklyn. we're going to have a gun buyback program. and this particular group of clergy churches, it's been successful in the past and we're going to expand that. next saturday we will have an open house in one of our precincts where members of the

community accompanied by the clergy will go in and sort of lessen the mystery of what goes on in police stations and they are going to do intervention with gang leaders to lessen the level of violence in that area and a lot of things are moving forward and i think the most unique aspect of this is the fact that the initiative gained from the clergy themselves. a lot of mothers and even grandmothers end up beurying their children and grandchildren in their communities. i want you to tell me as a pastor when you have to go to a mom and a grandmother and say your 16-year-old was shot dead and there's no good explanation for that, tell me what do you say, what do you feel and is that kind of what was-- >> i think that's what prompted us to get involved. because, number one, we're burying too many youth and we have to bury these youth and speak to the parents and it's

just horrific. and we, we think it's now a god assignment to bring healing to our city and to try to bring some prevention to the black on black crime in our city. >> mike: commissioner, are you getting knit criticism. anytime there's mention of the church getting involved in the public square, they're bee serb about it. and rights saying we don't want it to be religious, an impositionment are you hearing any of that so far. >> not so far, but this is new york and that's certainly possible down the road. >> mike: now that you're on the show it will probably happen. >> we've had for quite a bi while. impetus from the clergy reaching out to the department and we very much appreciate it. >> mike: and it's innovative

and creative. and in the '80s and '90s changed the image of new york worldwide? >> yeah, crime it down dramatically in new york city. last year was the lowest number of homicides, murders that we've had, at least 1963. and even though, disproportionate in the black community and i think that broken windows, you have to pay attention to the little things and that will take care of some of the beg things and that's sort of what we're doing here and also, another aspect of the program is sort of a model block program. the couple of streets are blocked around the particular church. we'll get special attention help from the crime prevention from the community affairs officers. so, yeah, it's taken care of the little things and the big things you might say together. >> well, the big thing is when someone is tragically and violently killed in the community. i want to say thanks for both of your willingness to partner together in what for some might seem to be an unusual

relationship and one that more cities need to emulate, and keep up the progress as it goes. bishop, commissioner, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me.

they're friends for years and have the same political advisors and message is more government is a good thing and need to raise taxes so we can make investments and don't understand if we cut taxes and rein in spending and federal spending we create opportunities for jobs and we have the same job roams in massachusetts and massachusetts lost 20,000 jobs in the month of september. the biggest loss in 20 years. >> mike: i want to say to you and our audience, we made numerous calls to duval patrick and our calls were not returned. and we're not trying to be overly again rust to you. scott brown's election in massachusetts was sort of the vote heard around the world and do you sense the same sentiment going on in your race that propelled massachusetts to do something that's sort of out of character for it in the

gubernatorial election? >> yeah, and i think there are three big comparisons here, mike. the first would be, you know, we've been getting closer and closer every single day to the governor and all the data and enthusiasm we feel out on the campaign trail. and the second thing we've been talking about jobs and spending and taxes and pocket book, whatever we got in the race 15 months ago, that's why i got into it because governor patrick was not doing things that were going to create jobs and exactly like scott's race as well and third is, one party domination on beacon hill just leak in washington and a lot of bad behavior and decision maker and voters said to me, look, i didn't appreciate the balance thing, i don't have it and now i want it and i'm with them. >> mike: the massachusetts health care plan is often considered sort of the blueprint or matrix for which

the obama care was drafted. >> yes. >> mike: you were the ceo of harvard medical care, of what it did to the whole health care industry of massachusetts. is the dissatisfaction which is significant in massachusetts, is that also a factor in your campaign and tell us how obama care and the massachusetts plan are so similar. >> well, i think the major comparisons between the two are sort of what i would describe as a significant increase in the state's role and the federal government's role in insurance and small group insurance and individual insurance, and i would say here in massachusetts, over the past four years under governor patrick's leadership there's been nothing, but huge increases in health insurance cost for small businesses as the government has gotten more and more involved in regulating and mandating and rule making in the small group market and i would expect the same thing to happen at the federal level as well and i think the other big, the other big issue, mike, is the

federal reform bill is like the massachusetts bill in the sense that nobody who knows how to pay for it and massachusetts faces the same problem. this thing is simply not sustainable in its current form and i've made all kinds of proposals which i will pursue if i win to rein in the spending side and make the thing more affordable and the federal bill has the exact same issue and nobody knows how to pay for that either. >> mike: and you look like you're in front of folks in massachusetts and wish you the best in the final days, thank you very much, charlie. >> thank you.

i was very honored and we were in the studio the control room was sort of small and he plays an electric fiddle like a guitar, you plug it in. so he says i want to, i want to play fiddle on this song and we're sitting there and the engineers here and i'm here and he's standing and we start the track and he's playing. well, i start seeing what i thought was smoke, thought the console was on-- and looking around and he was playing so hard that the bow was coming apart and the rod was falling on top of our heads and this went on for days and days and i think i'll play-- get my fiddle and he's in there, so the engineer says i can't-- this is getting on the equipment and we have to stop it. so what we did, we got-- i went and got a ten gallon cowboy hat and put them on our heads and he was honored and he said, this is great. and so you just really in the project you want a hat block.

>> and the dreaded word was get my fiddle. but i finally saw him, this had as been 15 or 20 years ago, i saw him two weeks ago and told him about this and he took his hands and grabbed my neck and he said, you lied to me (laughter) >> we had a great time, but that was a fun moment for charlie and i. >> mike: aaron, this cd. great songs, lorrie morgan and louise mandrell two of the artists on there and two of the most beautiful and gifted women that i think i've heard and everyone on this project, ray price, george jones, darryl worely on it, john anderson, they've got unique pieces of music. this is a great compilelation. >> absolutely. and the hits that these guys did, incredible performances, i tell you like i said earlier, when we started hunting for folks, we didn't

have a bit of trouble, almost feel like we need to give back, you know, to give back and this is our opportunity to do it. >> one thing i want everyone to know. this project, everyone's participated and donated their time, talents, the artists and we have musicians from nashville to help us work on this, from get go to get go. helping to supply the music costs for production so the profits for this are going to go to buy musical instruments for kids and the cd is ten bucks, it's a bargain and you can make a donation above these, but when you do it you're helping to put musical instruments in the hands of some kid who wants to play and the title cut of the album "i want to play" who did that. [laughter] >> my lovely boss, my wife. my owner. yeah, we penned this little song because we got so involved, we had the conversations going and i was

real excited about it and talked about it and thought the best way to come up with a song is to use the word play, i want to play it's for kids and wrote a song, sing along and the way i want it to be and the greatest thing i could have for this song is to hear, some kid just belting it out. so, that's what i'm looking forward to now and i want it to be like that and so we've got the coolest sing along song that everybody can enjoy and maybe inspire folks to go out and dig in their pockets and let' get the kids something to play. hey, my pickers are old, i've got to have new ones. >> mike: and i even got a play on a couple of the cuts of the song. we are going to love the song and hear it after the break. i hope you'll order and we'll do the title track, don't miss getting this. everyone in the audience are going to get a copy of it.

the very first people in america to get a copy of the cd "i want to play" we'll be right back. but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve was proven to work better on pain than tylenol 8 hour. so why am i still thinking about this? how are you? good, how are you?
