liz: let's bring in former arkansas governor fox news contributor mike huckabee great to see you governor. gerri: thanks, liz and i appreciate what that soldier, said. you know this is an amazing time who can defend what the iranian government has done? how can they be against what the president is for? he's for freedom of speech and women's rights and the iranian people having the ability to live their lives without being murdered in the streets by their own government and he's against a corrupt government that is taking money intended for human needs and suffering and instead using it to finance terrorism that has killed, murdered, kidnapped and destroyed the lives of many americans, so i don't know who would defend the iranian government instead of the president but i'd love for them to come on your show and explain how they can do that. liz: to your point governor i want to ask the president's support of the iranian protest is effective because half the country in iran is underage 30, jobless rate is 25 even 60% in some spots and also about women in these protests in iran pushing back

original question was talking about egypt but you have got to saudi arabia it's the same thing with mike huckabee says man. that's his quest to become king is such that he know he needs the u.s. now he's not can get and he wants to be king he's thinking why on earth would i want to upset my life over over the u.s. who i need to become king over israel plus also i think with regard to the saudis and the think you know their interests are not political hoping to fight is the issue because the main quite important part of that is how many who are considered the brunt of the muslim brotherhood that would be the main the palestinian cause i'm number one we are having a go to the muslim brothers this very narrow minded for the six from the saudis this very narrow minded policy from egypt and the proof of the seventies is that by having good. faith and often we can say would probably think it's usually what the families don't want to see publicly the truth that the saudis moving away from the palestine israel issue because at the oh to be honest i can't point any other word for it selfish interest in ot

you have the surprising success of mike huckabee in 2008. you have the surprising success of rick santorum in 2012. what they had all in common was a populist economic message that broke with republican orthodoxy on trade, on a number of other issues related to that, on unions, but what distracted us about them, of course, is that they were all bible-believing christians, catholics, evangelicals. so the questions they got asked on the trail typically turned very quickly to abortion, birth control, all these other sort of cultural issues. but i think what we did was we underestimated the power and the appeal of their protectionist, pro-union, anti-free trade message within this republican (crosstalk). - that was really the gas in the engine. - exactly. - it turns out. - what trump did was basically he embraced that message because it's not really all that different from- - did he do that consciously? i mean honestly, i'm hearing you say this and i'm thinking that's pretty smart. it's pretty canny and pretty savvy in a way that he's not been g

mike huckabee claiming he was very offended by the f word as recently as 2016. >> in iowa, you would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting. >> right. >> in new york, not only do the men do it, but the women do it. as we would say in the south, that's just trashy. >> meanwhile, during the clinton rear it was minister pat robinson blasting what he called clinton's, quote, sexual freedom. >> we are watching the office that was ennobled by watch and jefferson and lincoln become the playpen for the sexual freedom of the poster child of the 1960s. after all, not all our elected officials are debauched, debased and defamed, thank god for that. >> now that is a position many people held back then, and that many people legitimately hold today. that's fine. but apparently not minister robertson. he's discovered a new religion when it comes to donald trump. for example, when trump was openly bragging about unwanted sexual contact, robertson's response to the "access hollywood" tape. >> let's face it. a guy does something 11 years ago. there is a conversati

here now, governor mike huckabee, also fox news contributor, also a study of history, a good one at thatwould you agree with that statement? >> yeah, i think it was probably steve bannon's worst moment. i don't know what he was thinking, i don't know why he thought this was a good strategy. this really comes down to something bigger than a legal issue. i think the professor was spot on, almost impossible to win a lawsuit if you are a public figure. you just about can't do it. here is something that ought to govern these things. honor. honor and decency. which, when you go out after having been put in a position of trust. i will call at the robert de niro circle of trust if you remember the movie "meet the parents." once you get out of that circle of trust, you never get back in it. but if you get put in it, then you have, i believe, a moral obligation to honor the trust of the person who put you in that position. sandra, it is disturbing to me that people get in a political job than they want to make money off of it by going and telling a bunch of stuff. frankly, whether it is true or no

president, fox news contributor and sebastian gorka, former arkansas governor fox news contributor mike huckabeehe will be the headline, hannity says media is like drug addicts. and you know what? i do. because they wake up every day and they've got to hate this president and they have ignored so much, what do you think is going on? >> sean, happy new year, that was quite the monologue. i will go one step further. in the commercial breaks between the cnn segments, i think they are handing around a crack pipe of term hatred. the analogy is perfect. they need that dopamine dump because none of it is logical, as you've said for the last 11 months they haven't been able to say one positive thing about this president's work whether it's the stock market, the jobs, the securing the border, the defeating isis. none of it matters to them. it's all obsessive psychologically obsessive hatred of a man who they don't understand, and all the people who voted for him. they don't understand what happened on november the eighth, and they still don't get it today. that's why they hatred continues to build. just

mike huckabee a bee cannot be more correct on that point.hink it's sad i never want to see internal fighting in our party. i never want to see this kind of back and forth when we should be working against democrats. on the other side, but this is a day where it's just worth mentioning we stand behind the president as a party and we encourage every single voter out there to do the same as we know they already are. liz: remember when steve bannon appeared on 60 minutes and dismissed the russia investigation as a "facet. let's roll tape. >> there's nothing to the russia investigation. it's a waste of time. >> i was there. it's a total and complete farce. liz: would that explain what bannon said to charlie rose in michael wolf's book? >> it's very confusing because we have that statement and the one in wolf's book where he talks about this treasonist meeting with donald trump jr. which is nothing of the sort so you really can't reconcile his statements they're conflicting, contradictory and i agree with his first statement that the russia collus

he's not the kind of person that evangelicals would normally look, you know, someone more like mike huckabee is more my speed. but a friend of mine said that he believed that god was raising him up like cyrus. and the bible says in isaiah 45 i have called you even though you did not know me. and it was like, you know, the people in the bible were not perfect at all, but yet god used them, and he used a pagan king from persia to send his people back to egypt. >> and so many people have -- like jesus said, may clean the outside of the platter, but inside are ravenous wolves. i keep going back to that passage -- >> you're absolutely right. >> they seem like good, decent people, good family people, but when it comes down to -- look how they acted when trump won. i mean, they've been trying to sabotage him ever since, and they just don't act anything but christian. >> you know, the amazing thing is he has championed the values that you and i would, and most of these student, would believe in better than people that had better credentials like george w. bush who was a good man, but he just didn't

here is mike huckabee who tries to put it all in to perspective. >> well, it's disappointing.cause just a few days ago steve bannon was considered by the press to be the unhinged, he is crazy. he's a wild man. suddenly, this guy, michael wolf quotes him in a book saying terrible things about president trump and now he's a hero. bottom line is this. there are two things you give to someone when you are hired in a political context. you give them loyalty and you give them confidentiality. those are the two virtues that are more important than anything else you can bring. there have been a number of people who came out and they didn't go out and trash the president or the other people they worked with at the white house. steve: i should point out i talked to steve bannon last night and asked him if he would like to come on the program he declined. brian: did he say anything interesting to move this story forward? steve: off the record, not really. didn't confirm any of that stuff. 6:10 in new york city. we have lots to talk about this morning. jillian joins us with headlines. jil

running for president in america and you stand up in front of thousands of people and say as my mike huckabee said once when he was running for president that as president, i will change the constitution so that itis in better alignment with the bible , that was his stump speech. you know what we say? okay, let's vote on whether we oagree with that or not. there are politicians in egypt and you stand up and say i want to change the constitution so that it's in better alignment with the koran, you will never be heard from again. you will instantly disappear and no one will see you again. so yes, egypt is a secular country. >> what is the best way to make people practice a humanized god and the dangers of doing so. and do you think that our desire to humanize god conquers our advances in science and technology. >> question. the first part, i already said which is basically asked someone to describe god. don't say do you believe in god or not, just say describe god to me. describe what you mean by god. and then point out to them that basically everything that they said is just a description of a

. >> look, you know what's happening in arkansas is they've appointed a crony of mike huckabee and he'spretending to investigate this. they will find nothing there. i'd like to make a wager with jen that any criminal charges ever filed against the clinton foundation or anybody associated with it. what do you say? >> let's do it. i'm not like mitt romney. i don't have $10,000 to lay down on a bet. >> do you want to bet there will be somebody criminally indicted in the clinton foundation? >> when there's fbi agents, folks familiar with the investigation said they were asking substantive questions. >> who? >> according to the "new york times" report. >> get me a copy of that "new york times" report. this is the tit-for-tat i think jen's side would like to be having, because what we're not doing right now is talking about donald trump. >> one of the great dangers of the trump era is the erosion of good processes and institutional integrity in this universe of problems that surround donald trump itself. you see knit thit in that white. there's infighting. there's no trust. they can't get thi

. >> you had a relationship with mike huckabee. >> we were working on the nea. national endowment for the arts. i think he is very eloquently spoken about it. he makes a good economic argument for it as well as the human one. i think people need to listen to what he says about it. he's right. >> what is your -- i'm curious. i'm a child of the '90s. i grew up listening to a lot of your music. what has changed about the pop music scene in the last 20 years? how is it different being an artist today than ten years ago in. >> technology is always changing the music business. it always has from the time that we decided maybe it would be cool to put piano rolls to have a piano player to multi-track recording. everyone who has an idea has to get on with that. so to me, that's the main change. i think talent remains -- there's always amazing amazing . the reason i'm interested in keeping the symphony orchestra alive is because there's nothing like it. it's the great artistic symbol of civilization. it's people working together doing something that's greater than the ind

it was a freedom summit in iowa featuring two past winners of the caucus, rick santorum and mike huckabeethat day's breakout speaker, the beginning of the scott walker bubble. and there was also one other person there, too. you say you are considering running for president again. what is your favorite county in iowa? >> well, my favorite county in iowa, and i'm not going to get into this because this is not a history class, but one of my favorite places is iowa itself. and iowa is great because the people are great. the people are workers. they are wonderful people. and they like me and i like them. >> reporter: there are 99 counties in iowa, you can't give one? >> i can name many more than one. >> reporter: such as -- >> i'm not doing, who is the president of a certain country. we don't do that. >> so that was nearly five months before donald trump entered the race and people were rolling their eyes at the mere mention of him potentially running for president. that day he also gave what we would probably now consider a classic 2016 trump stump speech on everything from the border wall to

ainsley: let's bring in sarah huckabee sanders. she is now miked and ready to go. she is there at the lawn at the white house. steve: she is freezing. ainsley: good morning, sarah at the press conference you said you denied michael wolff more than 24 requests to get an interview with the president. he is on another network this morning saying did he talk to the president. whether the president knew it was an interview. it was not off the record. what's your response? >> look, we said they spoke once by the phone for a few minutes but it wasn't about the book. they had a very short conversation. but he never interviewed the president about the book. he repeatedly begged to speak with the president. and was denied access. and he makes it sound like he was sitting outside the oval office every single day which is just not the case. this is a guy who made up a lot of stories to try to sell books and i think more and more people are starting to see that his facts just simply don't add up. brian: word is that mike michael wolff was seen often in steve bannon's office. wo

mike huckabee is with us.hink most of our viewers are completely lost with all the names and who said what to who. bring us up to speed. what do those texts imply? >> well, they imply that peter struck and lisa paige didn't have enough to do for we the taxpayers are paying them and neither one of them should continue to be employed. that was not, by the way, video fighting in france for nutella. that was people scrambling to get one of those fbi jobs where all you have to do is sit around and text each other when you're having an affair with one of your fellow employees. but, stuart, the big story here that we cannot overlook is that this indicates that the highest levels of our most trusted law enforcement agency. there were people who were trying to actually influence the u.s. election. when i hear people say, well, what about russia? russia was trying to influence the election, they well may have been. but far less of damage to the american people is that a foreign government would try to influence then tha

state justice department must finally act also on comey and others tomorrower arkansas governor mike huckabeeith us now. i've been away for about a ten-day period. last year, it was all russia, russia. i come back, and it looks like deep state undermining president trump and going in favor of hillary clinton. am i reading this correctly? >> i think you're reading spot on stuart this is a boom rang democrats through it out there but come back to hit them in the face it appears now that there were more different immunity deals given out to obama officials including hillary clinton, huma abidin other high officials, in advance of even what they gave up and here's what is pass mating given out more than santa gave out christmas canes during month of december that turns out there were all kinds of incredible security leaks. that not the least of which were classified information being put on private computers in violation of the law. then lying about it including a computer tech who lied to the fbi. now what this i think does is set up donald trump to give a nice pardon to christian that young sai

mike huckabee, is with us now -- why is the president taking such a large contingent of people into hostileink it'ses smart strategic move not afraid to rub shoulders with even people who can't stand sight of him that shows guts and pretty good that he shows up and good that he make it is clear that america first doesn't mean america only. but it does mean that we act many our best interest. that's what this president has done. it's a smart message. and it's the right message. america shouldn't act so that britain is better or that france is better. or that somehow some -- third world nation is better. the purpose of our government is to protect us and to make our economy one in which people can get jobs and flourish. >> i nearly fell off my chair governor, when i heard what news. we broke that news about he was about 11:45 in the morning. and schedule you get this report that president is going to hostile territory and nearly fell off my chair. were you surprised too? >> not really. no, i mean this is a president who likes to do the thupgs that people don't expect him to do. sometimes he d

mike huckabee, rand paul, mercedes schlapp, chris wallace joins us in all-star line up.ve: the president must be exhausted. he sent out another tweet. keep in mind based on all the fact big news story on a lot of channels last night during the daca meeting where the democrats and republican senators presented the president a plan he didn't like, he was frustrated, referred to a nation as something, a word we're not going to use. he has tweeted about an hour ago, he never used that language, but now he is followed up with another tweet regarding apparently what he is seeing on other channels. >> that tweet said never said anything derogatory about haitians other than than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country. never said take them out. made up by dems. i have a wonderful relationship with haitians. probably should record future meetings, unfortunately, no trust. brian: ben shapiro said if it was misreported would have helped our show in particular to get his point of view earlier. lindsey graham, senator tom cotton, senator dick durbin, senator jeff flake, s
