mike huckabee joins us. governor, tell me, but when you are governor, do you seem somewhat shackled in terms of what you can say and do? is this an act of liberation by gov. palin? >> i never felt compelled to hold things to myself when i was governor. clearly, the piece that she did outlines a very peace a policy that america should be talking about. capt. trade is really cap and tax and president obama has declared war on american energy resources. that doesn't make sense. we have about two on the 67 billion tons owe have a signifif coal that we can use in our own country >> could she have done this when sh greta: she has given notice. why didn't she do this earlier? >> she could of spoken out on this issue any time. she did speak on these frequently. anwar is another example where we have to barrels and barrels of oil that we can recover which would be in much better source for energy and america that it would to be to continue upon the middle east. a lot of our energy comes from countries that don't even

mike huckabee is not happy about it. former presidential candidate, host of ç"huckabee," joins me right now. maybe you do not need to do all of this stuff? >> well, we did not need to do the stimulus the other way, because it was still going to be an issue. the economy will have a way of correcting itself. the government will create an environment where people feel the freedom to invest, so, in other words, if you have an environment where small-business owners are not scared to death they have to lay people off and not stop their shelves, when they do not have to try to move their profits offshore at big companies to protect them from the government, he then you can create a better business environment. neil: -- from the government, then you can create better business environment. neil: because of the measures he is taking. you are saying not at all? >> that is ridiculous. this is a president who will get a two-yard gain and thinks he has spiked the ball. there are certain things that consumers put off buying because t

greta: am i wrong that these numbers are consistent for romney, governor palin, mike huckabee, but newtingrich is inching up? >> there is, he has had a lot to say about health care reform, the stimulus, a lot of these issues going on in washington now. he travels around. he is definitely a presence. he clearly decided not to make the run in 2008 but might be preparing for 2012. greta: he talks about solutions wherever he goes. that is a catchy slogan. >> the group he founded after leaving office was solutions for america. he did a lot of it in 2008 and decided not to run. he could definitely be a contender. right now, the star of the party is indeed palin. every republican party in every state in america would like to have her come to their state to go to a fund raiser. she is really sucking up a lot of oxygen in the republican field right now. greta: you mentioned that she has been invited to the annual rate in dinner in iowa -- annual rateagan dinner in iowa? what does this indicate? >> there are many republicans to play an important role in this. they have been trying very hard to ge

. >> reporter: and mike huckabee still believes she would be a good candidate in 20 twelve. but thinks her reasons for leaving could hurt her chances, which leaves other faces out there. >> it will be a wide open field, narrow in the sense of a number of candidates. but the field itself is wide open. we'll see other people come through we haven't heard from yet. >> reporter: but this likely won't be the last time the country hears from sarah palin. sarah simmons, fox 5 news. >> and sarah palin also spoke about the millions in state taxpayer money being spent to deal with all of the document requests that pour in. 15 ethics complaints filed against her have so far been dismissed. >> government money going elsewhere? >> going to summer jobs but not everybody thinks that is a good use of your money. we're looking into all sides. >>> plus, an increased risk regarding smoking. >>> and then coming up, the fate of michael jackson's loved neverland ranch still up in the air. why others like don't like the idea of another graceland, coming up on the news edge at 11:00. - ♪ five - ♪ f

contacts and positioning herself opposed to some other republican hopeful like mitt romney and mike huckabee for the front runner for the 2012 nomination. i think she feels she should do it as early as possible and figure why not now and see if she can build her following beyond the grassroots she has right now. >> does this mean she will go on a national fund-raising campaign or bone up on the major issues. what does this do for her in terms of freeing up her schedule? >> it means she doesn't have to go from alaska to the lower 48 all the time. she can base herself here in washington or somewhere in the condition country that is convenient and meet with people who know how to run political campaigns. she was called in to john mccain's campaign at the last minute and didn't have a chance to put her stamp on it. she had to use mccain's staff and you have seen the news reports that there was a lot of friction between her and the mccain people. now i think she figures she can build her own organization and do it the way she wants to. >> everybody likes to talk about front runners with nominatio

former governor mike huckabee finished his terms in arkansas.ther candidate woulsd have a more impressive, if you accept that word, a list of achievements. some would say how can you do that when you haven't run one term as a govern. let's say she not only travels the country but travels the world. take time. she doesn't have to worry about the school budget, state budget, state police, learn up on china, learn up on russia and the other issues so when she comes to the table in a future presidential race she'll with better prepared than perhaps she was in the last race. so she has the freedom of time to study both big issues and travel to raise her profile. >> president obama and the entire first family heading to moscow and -- >> in russia, i would focus on these two things. you have two countries saying they're going the try to significantly reduce their arsenals. let's see what number if they come to a number there. and the most significant short-term thing we'll see out of the summit is russia has allowed shipments. resupply food, other item

so, i think the beneficiary of all of this is fox news's mike huckabee! >> dave: right.ther says, i have no idea if her plans in through 2012 or what she is doing and if in fact politics are her plan and how does she get back the independence, that is what she would need to get the nomination and get elected, clearly. >> the massive, massive vacuum of the leadership of the republican party, there is no leadership, really. the nearest thing we have is newt gingrich and, you know, he's been there for a while. and, i think that if sarah palin really was vigorous and aggressive in taking the president on, over health care, and much -- in much the same way cheney took them on on national security, i think there is a vacuum to fill there. and when i first heard she was resigning i thought that is what she was planning to do. but, it doesn't sound like she is leading a crusade, it sounds like she wants to retire to private life for a while and lick her wounds and with -- when the health care system is threatened with destruction this isn't the time to lick wounds. >> clayton: t
