a double mike huckabee told jay leno that romney reminds you of the guy you.ired >> romney isis not going to be e your pain. feels not a great politician. one of the reason at this -- it did not come . of nowowhere out of tens of million ads by the obama he handledbout how ith bain capital and all that. other essence was the series thasay he wants to produce taxes on the rich. reduce taxes on the e rich. romney has protested that that true, that he wants to the rich buttes on theitted to reform that share paid in taxes by the rich not change. he says that in intnterviews but never spell that out in way that would d get attention. meme is that t he wants to cut taxes on the rich, but the not, andthahat he would never stood up and w way that would have to command respononse and attention. >> there actually is a way, and not too late, because it is a simple message. true tax reform has the effec rates forg tax everybody, but all these special willest groups, everybody precious special loopholes, deductions. side, against the groups in wawashington. if h he proposes that, that is a .rue thing

here now, mike huckabee. i know you are involved with the story and you know the people down in atlanta, that is where they are, right? are they getting out and bailing and chickening out? >> they are not. there has been a lot of news reports. horrible publicity for chick-fil-a because the last thing they would want is for millions of americans to stand with them and then stand down because of one city councilman in chicago. >> bill: is he lying, this moreau knee? >> i haven't talked to him. i talked this very day to dan kathy the c.e.o. of chick-fil-a and they made no concessions, that they are who they are. >> bill: are they going to continue to donate to the traditional marriage organizations? >> it wasn't about chick-fil-a donating. it was about the c.e.o. who made a personal statement of his own point of view and that is what the controversy was over. chick-fil-a sells chicken. they treat their employees and customers with fairness. >> bill: did he say is he going to do figure differently, any change? >>

mike huckabee told the jay leno, "romney reminds you of the guy who fired tear." -- fired you." >> romney is not going to be at the clinton who feels your pain. he is not a great politician. but one of the reasons there is the stereotypes - it did not come out of nowhere -- it came out of tens of millions of dollars of ads by the obama campaign about how he handled people at bain capital. the essence of this is the other series of ads, which say that he wants to reduce taxes on the rich. romney has protested that that is not true, that he wants to reduce the tax rates on the rich. but he is committed in the reform to making sure that the share of taxes paid by the rich will not change. he it said that in interviews, but he never spelled out in a speech in a way that would get attention. the meme is that he wants to cut taxes on the rich, but the policy is that he would not. he has never actually stood up and explain it in a way that would have to command response and attention. >> there actually is away. -- a way. it is not too late. true tax reform has the effect of lowering tax rates fo

presidential candidate and current fox news host, governor mike huckabee addressing the republican convention this week, remi reminding america of the media role in the 2008 election, so when you think back to the coverage of 2008 and looking forward to the democratic convention this coming week, jim, has neg changed? >> oh, i think the media are being the media. the mrc, rich noise did a research. >> research center. >> yes, sir had a study of the media coverage since 1988 and every four years, showed what the coverage looks like and it's just a quaddreniam. and if case anybody thought it might change, thursday's new york sometimes chose to use this picture of paul ryan, this is paul ryan down there little tiny guy and the black figures, presumably stage hands or-- >> nice picture in the back drop. >> look at the back drop. >> looks like the flames of hell. >> you look at the clackness and little tiny ryan there, as i wasn't the first to say that it looks like ryan and satan and his colleagues here and that's the new york times. a picture is worth a thousand words, this is worth a million. >

mike huckabee told the jay leno romney reminds you of the guy who fired the of. >> -- fired you. >> look, romney is not going to be the clinton who feels your pain. he is not a great politician. but one of the reasons for this stereotype -- it did not come out of nowhere. it came out of tens of millions of dollars of ads by the obama campaign about how he handled people with bain capital and all that. the essence of this is the other series ads which say he wants to reduce taxes on the rich. romney has protested that this is not true, that he wants to reduce tax rates on the rich, amended in the reform to making sure that the share of taxes paid by the rich will not with change. he said that in interviews but he has never spelled it out in a speech that would get attention. the meme is that he wants to cut taxes on the rich, but policy is that he would not. he has never stood up and explain it in a way that would command response and attention. >> there is a way. fairly simple message -- true tax reform has the effect of lowering tax rates for everybody, but all these special interest gr

huckabee, rick santorum wing of the republican party coalesced behind todd akin in the primary and in a three-way primary, that was enough. >> earlier this week akin is back in shape here i guess in terms of the establishment. he had this to say about your debating style. take a look. >> the first two minutes it was like somebody let a wildcat loose and so we went at it for about an hour. >> he said he was surprised about how you attacked from every different direction. you know, as if it was a debate or something. he said you weren't very ladylike. let's check that thought from him. >> she was very aggressive in the debate, which was quite different than the way she was when she ran against jim talent. she had a confidence and was very much more sort of ladylike in the debate we had friday. she came out swinging, and i think that's because she was threatened. >> well, today akin denied his use of the word ladylike was sexist. he said it's the same thing as calling a man a gentleman. quote, we have a couple words in the english language one is a gentleman and one is a lady. they are p

you have this completely anti-lgbt republican party with mike huckabee and rick santorum. they were opposed to everything. constitutional amendment that doesn't just say you can't have any new same-sex marriages, it would resolve those. on the other hand, you have a democratic -- better than people thought it would. the democratic convention made it clear we are for full equality of lgbt people. the log cabin club -- there should you should vote for romney is crazy. but the reason i said uncle tom was there, the reason is, they said well, paul ryan is willing to engage with us and they've toned down the anti-gay rhetoric. they still want to enslave us but they're nicer to us. that's uncle tom. someone said you called them uncle tom. they're nice. uncle tom was nice, too. they're all just nice to the wrong people. >> eliot: your logic in attacking them speaks to the larger hypocrisy which is that they pretend they're in fact appealing to the interest of middle class folks or those who believe in expansive view of civil rights but when you scrape away the top surface there's

. >> or as mike huckabee put it -- >> our founding fathers let taxation and tierney, seeking religious liberty and a society of meritocracy rather than air stock rahcy. >> we should note there's something more than a little audio about the celebration of american air tock kracy to nominate a governor turned presidential candidate who rose from humble origins of a son, a convention this on the same night in which mike huckabee decried the aristocracy of foreign lands featured rand paul uncorking the liberty of goodstrap stories shortly before a video that celebrate the last two republican presidents, one the son and the other the son of a senator. oddly the stories did not revolve around the speaker's experience but rather that of their hard-working relatives and ancestors. it struck me as we listened to this as a slightly odd note, a backward looking tour of nostalgia for an meramerica thae are losing. of course, that's precisely the message and a potent one. it's based on a core reality. the dream of american mobility is slipping away. we all know about the extreme and accelerating in

let's ask former republican governor mike huckabee of arkansas. it is wonderful to have you. >> great to be here. lori: what do you think of this jobs revision? it seems to be a nice boost for obama. >> if he is looking for anything, this is the lifeline he has. the fact is, of the jobs that have been created are jobs that are being created at a much lower pay scale than the jobs that people lost. some 30% lower. the fact that people have got a job does not necessarily mean they're better off. the key thing is that median household income is down by more than $3,000. that is the real issue. lori: median incomes, talking about flat line, that is one of the crises of the jobs problem in this country that has been a reported. and let you mention it. tell me what you think the response should be. so far it has been just to tap the bailout package, the big stimulus in 2009. shouldn't it be a labour participation rates? that has been tumbling. creating jobs, but people are jumping out of the work force left and right. >> leaving jobs that pay $30 an hou

mike huckabee joins us today. what do you think of that? >>governor huckabee: it depends on what happens in the senate. if the republicans get the senate, i don't think taxes have to go up. if you have both houses of congress. if the democrats hold the senate, they will have to compromise or nothing will happen. we will go off the fiscal cliff and there won't be any return from that then everyone is hurt, far worse, far worse than any tax increase could ever be. >>neil: i think that maybe this is a matter of jazzing the base, getting republicans on board say this is what we risk. am i too closer for words? >>governor huckabee: you are always clever. in this case, they are just speaking, and i don't think this congressman is making this up but speaking from a pragmatic standpoint over the consequences of what you have to do. if obama is re-elected and the republicans do not have the senate, meaning the democrats have two out three parts of moving anything through, if the republicans want to be able to do anything to preserve some sanity in t

bill, i just heard you tell mike huckabee that president obama is smart and fast. he's zip in my opinion without a teleprompter. the president's fast on his feet and the governor will have to be sharp to beat him in the debates. richard, florida. i just watched three white guys demonstrate their total ignorance of randy newman and his music. it takes a little sophistication to understand newman. i agree that they lack sophistication, rich, but i have it coming out my ears. newman's song about white people is tinged with race, period. sue, new york. mr. newman's song comes off as a mix of idiocy. bill, please recognize that greg gutfeld's wit and intellect is superior to yours.

and then people were fighting with mike huckabee who took the same stand supporting aiken. and so what you just played is completely typical of what i was hearing. and by the way, i would say to your audience, it's worth listening to. some of these people you may completely disagree with them, but they are honest. they are not spinning for like a carl rove on fox. they have contempt for those people saying every day that every focus group liked the republican ad better than the democratic ad. they know it's nonsense. they were concerned about the bad ratings the convention was getting. i learned more about the republicans and harsher criticisms from the conservative media than i would from a lot of the liberal press. >> i feel like we saw this insurgency when the tea party movement became a generator of right wing primary challengers to republican candidates. the republican party just shifted to incorporate the right wing protest movement. so you have jesse benton who was rand paul's campaign manager against the successor for the senate seat in kentucky. now mitch mcconnell

joining us today is the host of fox news channel mike huckabee. i was very interested to read that you were involved in drafting the state party platform. is this normally this complicated. >> it's complicated but here is the thing. the idea that was some oversight, that's nonsense. there are people who go to these platform meetings and they pars every comma, every apostrophe, every word in that document. >> that's interesting. because i had heard that it was the opposite, that it must have been some low level guy. john boehner came out and said nobody even reads these party platforms. wasn't one guy sitting there one night with an eraser. thought out, well parsed and calculated. >> i have never been a part of anything like that where it wasn't carefully thought through. true there may be people like congressman and others who give a cursory reading they probably don't pay attention to it. but the people who get on that committee typically are people who are just -- i mean they are absolutely eagle eye focused on it because there are certain thing
