welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. well, there was high drama in a low place this week, the united nations. maybe it would be better to change a couple of letters around and call it the untied nations because it seems to be unraveling from its mission of being a forum for peace and understanding. among the many of its trans depressions, giving a microphone, a podium, and a platform to a murdering racist tyrant like iranian president ahmadinejad so he can go around spewing his violent and insulting hate, blaming america for 9/11, denying the holocaust, and finally calling for the death of jews and the destruction of israel. his nation continues to support hamas and inscrimmag. the hand of iran in the glove of hamas and the syrian president is bad enough. the un would give the president a forum like he's a legitimate leader makes me rethink it's time to rethink the u.s. participation in this worthless, toothless elephant like the un. in addition to giving voice to men like ahma nut job, our good neighbor and friend canad

huckabee didn't and she didn't.ing for president. >> she's making very easy money from roger ailes, which she would continue to make after she lost in the republican primaries, if she was ever silly enough to get in them, which she isn't. >> right. look, there are already two actual candidates with actual campaigns who are out there scarfing up her potential voters, and her constituency, rick perry and michele bachmann. she has no campaign machinery, she does not have the discipline and the single mindedness one needs to be a candidate in the first place, so it just -- you know, as you said, it ain't happening, yet we continue to talk about it because she continues to act as if it, well, it might. might be in iowa, maybe she'll go to new hampshire next, maybe it will be there. it's not going to be. >> it's fascinating to watch this tease go on as long as it has and watch people continue to fall for it.

mike huckabee -- >> bill: it's a different time. >> no, why is it a different time?> bill: i'll tell you why. because john mccain had basically the background and the credibility to run for president, whereas michelle and rick perry have to prove themselves. mccain really did. it was a preference. and this time the anti-obama feeling is so huge that a lot of people just looking for somebody who can beat him. >> absolutely. >> bill: they'll put their ideology on the shelf for a little while. the vaccine comments, did that help or hurt michelle bachman? >> they were very good in the debate when she attacked him on executive overreach and basically doing something he shouldn't have done with his cronies. obviously she stumbled at the next day when she talked about the vaccine. but at the end of the day, she's a great debater. >> bill: but i want to stay on the vaccine because that's gotting a lot of turns currency with the comedians. overall, help her or hurt her? >> it hurts her at this point in time, but she'll be back debating tentatively on thursday night. >> bill:

it's interesting now in polls that if mike huckabee were in the race he would lead president obama. so that idea that someone's unelectable because they're conservative is not held up by the facts. >> is your organization going to support one of these candidates in the near future? >> not in the near future. our role here is -- >> but will you pick one? >> not necessarily. we have our values voters summit next week, and we will have a straw poll there where value voters are able to cast their vote for their preference. we work with all of the candidates in understanding our issues and articulating those issues. at some point we may weigh in. but it will be on down the road aways. >> many on the left think christian conservatives in the south will not vote for eye mormon being mitt romney. do you agree with that? is his faith a problem? >> i think they're looking at his policies. i do not think that evangelicals see mormonism as another brand of christianity. they do see it as a distinct faith. those focused on the theological will have problems with that. if mitt romney has the nomi

huckabee's campaign i chaired. he was barely known and went on to win the iowa caucus.where do you win? we won the straw poll, put a strong organization there in eight weeks. the organization is still there. we won the caucuses. we get a ticket out. he has to win somewhere. either against romney in new hampshire or in south carolina. obviously we are going to compete for those places, too, particularly south carolina. >> ed, good to talk to you. i'm sure it's been a busy day for you. let's bring back in ari fleischer and james carville. james, you have been hearing from our friend there. what do you make of it? >> let's give ed credit. he's an honest guy. in politics, people try to make excuses, oh, no, we are doing fine in spite of governor perry getting in. i tend to believe him. he's 68 years old. said he had a stroke a year and a half ago. i think ari can believe that, too. given the pace of the presidential campaign our gut was right. at least health issues contributed to his decision. you never know what else goes on in a campaign. sometimes it takes a long time f

huckabee. mike huckabee very high in the polls and is he a fox commentator. it's another snarky, you know, little dig that she specializes in. and now she is the woman who is going to be covering the white house for cbs. i was surprised because cbs' plan as you know is to go back to the hard news, no bias, let's just give them the facts. >> right. when the new management took over a few months ago, they held a big, big staff meeting. and jeff bigger, the head of cbs news said if you have an agenda, find another place to work. that's a good thing to say. i have known jeff for a. >> bill: is he a good guy. >> and he cares about this kind of stuff. >> bill: he does. >> maybe he told her keep your liberal opinions to yourself when you are at the white house. bill, there is a much bigger much more important point to make. no network would hire as its chief white house correspondent someone as far to the right as she is to the left. because if you are even a little to the right, you are going to stick out in the newsroom. but if you are as far to the left as she is

when it comes down to what one of mitt romney's major opponents, mike huckabee, said about him in 2008, he has more positions than the kama sutra. [laughter] >> colby? >> kama sutra? >> we will save that for another program. >> there are children watching. mitt romney is the panderer. you have this other person, rick perry, who is at least candid with language. this is the kind of thing that makes the white house feel they still have a shot. with these two individuals as possible opponents, there is reason to think you can hold your own. michele bachmann has been kicked it occurred. >> -- kicked to the curb trade . >> she is off the radar screen. >> she might come back in the debates. >> the leading candidates in the republican party, and one of them will get the nomination -- perry or romney -- colby says romney is a panderer, but perry's record is contradictory. he endorsed hillary's health- care proposal. i understand that politicians is a dance that, but there is more than the usual zigging and zagging here. it is material for the opponents, whether they are in the republican party

i understand what governor huckabee was saying but i'd cut him a little slack, give him a little timeu have said over time is that you've been a little disappointed of the things the republican field has chosen to take up. the things that they're saying. what in particular do you think they're not talking about? >> i don't think they're yet talking about the things that the two senators just spoke to. the things that have a lot of zeros attached to them. the ones that are threatening to kill not just an economy but the entire idea of america, the idea of upward mobility from the bottom and tomorrow's better than today. and so i'm hoping that things will evolve. i tell you what brothers me a little bit, candy, the president is clearly in very desperate political shape. seems more clear every day. i worry a little bit, ironically, that the republican field or our nominee might look at that and say, i'll just play it safe. i'll get elected as the default option. he made it worse, i'm not him, vote for me. and that will be i think a huge miss opportunity because there's a clock ticking. t

. >> i wanted to play you something that mike huckabee said about governor perry's performance in thisate. >> i think rick perry is not prepared for the pressure of the presidential stage yet. rick perry's got a struggle ahead of him. >> now you add to this that the "weekly standard," a conservative publication, called it almost disqualifying, speaking of perry's performance in the debates. he seems to be fading partially because running for governor is not the same as running on the national scene. do you envision a republican party that at this point would pick rick perry? >> yeah, maybe. i think it's way too early to know or to issue -- pronounce last rights over one performance. there are so many of these -- too many maybe. so he hasn't been in it that long. i understand what governor huckabee was saying, but i'd cut him a little slack, give him a little time. >> one of the things that you have said over time is that you've been a little disappointed of the things the republican field has chosen to take up. the things that they're saying. what in particular do you think they're not

pretty rare for the most part politicians are fairly attractive and pretty fit and funny with mike huckabee he made it one of his big selling points in two thousand and eight when he was running a look i lost all this weight i run marathons right now is a big part of his brand and the fact that he gained a lot of that weight back was one of the reasons people thought he was going to run for president. gary johnson for example you know he does marathons and he's a total there's a new profile and i feel like you know. that is les i would never vote for someone who runs marathons i think that people who run marathons are violence assessing people so i would never never vote for someone who runs marathons i would however vote for someone who loves pizza ok chris christie got a vote from jenny churchill i don't know. let's move on to our next story you know marriage marriage is tough there are you know there are shows on t.v. called marriage ref to try to help people sort out. just you know what we love what do you mean i think you make me laugh. more based you know rebel against her you have be

obviously, it was very difficult for him to compete with huckabee in that category. i think romney will do that well or better and i think, again, perry has that sort of huckabee factor where as a devote evangelical, he can speak directly to his own spiritual journey as he did at liberty university last week. he'll do extremely well. but, look, these folks are not easy to command and not sheep who just go where they're told to go. they're kicking the tires and looking at these candidates very carefully and, as i said, i don't think it's really come down and solidified. this is still very fluid. >> let me ask you about a moment that got a lot of attention last night at the debate. this openly gay soldier with his question to the candidates. take a listen. okay. i guess we don't have that sound bite, but you remember what happened. for the viewers that might have missed the debate, he asked a question about gays, you know, serving openly in the military. and he got boos. so, let me ask you, do you think it was, i'm told we have it now. let's go for the sake of fairness
