my born again father is just jealous that i get to hang out with mike huckabee and glenn beck now and then. by the way, he's my boss, i'm sure you know, and i hear he's coming. i saw a chuckboard back stage. that's not a joke. there's a chalkboard back stage. i know that's for him. mike huckabee used to try to baptize me by the water cooler on the sly when i passed him at fox news. he is the best. and my high school christianity teacher at catholic school probably is wondering where in the lesson she lost me. and then of course there's my mom, who is just amused and proud, as usual, which is very nice, but the point is i don't think you have to be a christian to want a more responsible and respectful press and i don't think you have to be a christian to want the majority of this country, 80%, to be treated with some dignity and honesty and i don't think you have to be a christian to rightly acknowledge that christianity is the bedrock of american history. i don't think you have to be a christian to espouse judeo christian values. i also don't like murder. i also don't think we should

ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you very much. well, i've decided that it's time for the attorney general to do the president and the country an important service and step down. now, i don't say that lightly. >>> i don't say it because of his political affiliation being different than mine. i've come to refer to him not as simply eric holder but eric withholder because he has become the master of with holding documents, information, and truth from the house, the senate, and the american public. in an administration that pledged transparency, the department of justice has operated not merely opaquely but behind the stone walls of stonewalling. after 18 months, numerous hearings and threats of contempt of congress charges regarding the disasterous fast and furious program that used american taxpayer money to buy guns, put them in the hands of mexican drug dealers, he's released just over 7,000 documents of 140,000 that congress has requested. 300 mexicans are dead, and one american border patrol agent is dead. he has yet to answer w

mike huckabee, you ran a lot of campaigns.hought that he didn't understands when those tax cuts will kick in, this is the smartest political mind alive today. >> and you do a pretty mean president clinton imitation? >> i'm known to. the way that he governored, people get bumper stickers, i miss bill. he was a governor, he understood the dynamics of it. what's hurting barack obama, he simply doesn't understand the dynamics of being a chief executive. he has never been in that position and it's showing. >> well -- >> go ahead. you get him first. >> the answer is, it's hard to expect the president to reach out when in the first year, in the middle of the first year the republican leader in the senate said our number one priority is to defeat the president and the republican party has been their mantra ever since, they don't want him to succeed. they want to defeat him. >> how about this issue of president chinton, is he good for president obama or not? >> sure he is. by saying nice things about governor romney now, governor romne

i was on mike huckabee's radio show earlier today and he did the same thing, agrees there should be a path for people like me. look, i have covered presidents, i have covered presidential campaigns, and i have never been allowed to vote because i can't vote, but i think it's time for us, again, to come up with a solution. >> so mike huckabee radio talk show host, former candidate -- >> former candidate. don't have to wait until after the election to find out what i believe. or what my plans are. >> welcome back to "the ed show." now, mitt romney keeps telling us he's got a plan. but he keeps refusing to give us answers on some of the most critical issues facing this country. now, think progress went out and listed the issues romney just keeps dodging. romney won't say whether he would undo the new immigration policy, he won't commit to the paycheck fairness act. he won't tell us which tax loopholes he would close to make his budget work. he can't name the federal agencies he wants to cut. he refuses to say whether he would have signed the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. he won't take a

and mike huckabee is here, and it could an bigger mess because it ain't getting better. bee: it is not. and congress is not helping. nancy pelosi made a ridiculous statement saying we need a bill, we need a bipartisan bill and that would be a switch she hasn't done anything bipartisan but the republics are not trying to figure out a way and reaching out to come to terms with the democrats. this is incredibly polarized congress and i don't know that they really want to achieve anything until after the election and then they are hoping their side wins enough to achieving they want and give the other side nothing. >>neil: and now the republicans is there a risk, governor, that republicans hook like they are running out the clock, and the economy is beginning to stumble and keep stumbling? hush hung there is -- >>governor huckabee: there is a risk but the senates is not put a budget on the floor since april of 2009 so it gives the republican cover to say, look, we have sent bills out of here but question not force the senate to pass. >>neil: i don't think a lot of the america

i was on mike huckabee's radio show earlier today and he did the same thing, agrees there should be asidents, i have covered presidential campaigns, and i have never been allowed to vote because i can't vote, but i think it's time for us, again, to come up with a solution. >> so mike huckabee radio talk show host, former candidate -- >> former candidate. >> last election cycle, bill o'reilly, okay, we know his position in the media in this country. all right, but mitt romney can't bring himself to saying it's the right thing to do or whether if he is elected, whether he's going to keep this policy or not. i find it amazing. >> well, me, too. >> jose antonio vargas, great to have you on "the ed show," appreciate your time. >>> up next, bob shrum on mitt romney's failure to lead or take any position on anything. ♪ ♪ pop goes the world ♪ it goes something like this ♪ everybody here is a friend of mine ♪ ♪ everybody, tell me, have you heard? ♪ [ female announcer ] pop in a whole new kind of clean with new tide pods... a powerful three-in-one detergent that cleans, brightens, and fights st

mike huckabee was also really big. was something else i came across in talking with a lot of people. around that time when senator dement and when mike huckabee were publicly coming out for marco rubio, there were a whole lot of establishment republicans and many of them spoke to me about this confidentially who had gun to have doubts about crist, and they were very quietly moving over into the marco rubio camp, and they were trying to figure out a way to sort of publicly distance them from crist, but they had to do it slowly and methodically. >> greta: do people in florida like him? he's a national figure, but take me back to his early days when he was running even as a representive. the people of florida, do the democrats like him? can he work with people? >> yeah. it's interesting because in talking to people, i found that there was a pattern with marco rubio, and i came to think of it as almost an apprentice. marco rubio is the kind of guy who when you meet him for the first time, he impresses you, and he did that

as speculation rolls over the republican's veep choice, mike huckabee doesn't think much of his chances, telling nbc this week "i think there's a greater likelihood that i'll be asked by madonna to go on tour as her bass player." well, mike, you never know. >>> former vermont governor howard dean got extreme this weekend, arguing mitt romney wants to take us back to the '50s and not the 1950s, the 1850s, even likened romney to mahmoud ahmadinejad. >>> gabby gifford campaigning this weekend. her husband told politico while she's not sure she wants to run for office again, she does want to get into public service. >>> it's reported the driving records of ten senate candidates show a need for speed. republicans have the dubious edge. six gop candidates have eight speeding convictions, while four democrats have only three. >>> all right, jamie foxx, he wants to be president. okay, well, sorts of. he's in talks to play the president.

. >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applause] thank you. thank you, very, very much and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york. okay, i realize i am critical of the president's policy. but i have to commend him when he is successful in plirk what he set out to do. he made the millionaires and billionaires the villians of a disastrous economy but the president still blaming it on george bush. bush hasn't been in the white house for three and half years except for the unveiling his portraitsomehow he is powerful he controls the commempt you have to hand it to president obama, he is successful in one thing. we learned that america has far fewer millionaires than it did a year ago. number of households who have a million and more in assets fell by 129,000 last year. to put it in perspective, the rest of the world saw a increase of 175,000 millionaires n our country alive there are 129,000 fewer people that obama thinks are too rich. as for the notion that the rich are the ones who get richer, and the wealth of the really, real

. >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. thank you. thank you very very much. welcome to "huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. there is really no such thing as objectivity in politics. each of us sees things through the lens of our own perspective and point of view. we can strive for an unbiassed observation but i am not going to be disingenuous and tell you i am unbiassed. i try to be fair and balanced. where sri heard that before? great concept. but detached from a point of view? not going to happen. for example this week when i heard the democrats ekt plained a crushing set back of governor scott walker winning against the attempts to recall him i hear it was because the republicans had more out of state money. actually if you add in all of the national union money that tried to get him out the money is pretty even nowhere near the 7-1 nonsense that was put out by the democratic machine. i wondered if they had a little bit of that great wisconsin cheese with their wine. because i heard democrats beat up on president o

mike huckabee.n't hate him passionately, that would be the ticket to unite the gop base. >> is that the case of a very evangelical, leading evangelical arguably barely came in second last time around arguably there are a lot of buyer's remorse they didn't go with him over mccain in some quarters. he is very popular and likeable in that group. the problem is as an evangelical, taking second place to a mormon is that another circumstance of being like a turncoat to that particular group, or do they think it's a sign that, you know, that jesus is coming back the mormon will be a lead and the evangelicals will magically because of becoming president that's a possibility, a thin one. i don't think they would get along. i don't see it. >> in fairness i have to say, it seems like our republican friends are coalescing. he was heaped with scorn but they seem like they have circled the wagons. i don't see any bigotry toward his faith. >> you are not seeing it. you are not seeing his faith at all. >> they want

want to be her bad side songe also made an enemy out of former arkansas governor turned fox mike huckabee he believes quote whoever non-government leak that information is guilty of treason and i think anything less than execution is too kind of a penalty. those feelings against assad's are also echoed by eric bolling and fox news commentator who says assad should be on the ground six feet underground he should be put in jail or worse hanged in a public forum i wonder if you would have said the same thing about daniel ellsberg back in the day meanwhile the editor of the weekly standard and fox news regular with him crystal summed up his feelings in a songe with this why can't we act force we can sweep the leaks why can't we use are various assets to harass snatch or neutralize juna songe and his collaborators wherever they are and not to be outdone the always outspoken right wing talk radio host rush limbaugh added this gem to the conversation back in the old days when men were men and countries were countries this guy would have died of lead poisoning from a bullet in the brain. and thos
