the important thing to remember is that huckabee's fund-raising numbers are not good. he's hurting for cash. >> isn't the place of journalist to turn to him to say why don't you apologize? >> i think it's fair given that so many other people are calling on him to apologize. major national jewish organizations and rnc and major republicans distancing themselves from comments. that's an open question without a doubt. >> let me turn to joe biden. spade of reports including the lead story in today's "the new york times" saying the 72-year-old vice president actively exploring a campaign although there's no sort of hard evidence that he's going to launch one. do you think that all of these sources being quoted by the press is fueling a lot of speculation? >> it was kicked off over the weekend by writing a detailed column about what was going on in joe biden's head. assume she didn't invent that. somebody probably leaked to her play by play of what considerations have been and notably the vice president's office isn't refuting this. partially it's based on something substant

huckabee: sure. >> thank you. [indiscernible] mr. huckabee: hi, there. great to see you. i believe marriage is between a man and a woman. i don't believe we should redefine marriage. mr. huckabee: one of the things about this is that it's an unfiltered audience. this is an audience of people who want to come to the fair. the politician happens to show up, they get to ask me anything they want. they can say nice things, they can criticize me, they can say anything they like. it's a real opportunity to see that dynamic that doesn't exist in other politics. most politicians don't rub shoulders with people here sweating in the state fair. mr. huckabee: every billion dollars that we spend on road infrastructure creates jobs. if we are serious about creating jobs we must obe serious about infrastructure. to do it with creative financing for use of improve the economy and make america is more efficient placed function. >> what would you do -- [indiscernible] i think we need to keep open the idea of tariffs in china. they have manipulated currency, stolen from us, violated laws o

lindsey graham and others have met with him and now huckabee's turn. he blasted the deal in an interview with cnn's wolf blitzer. >> we violated every single thing that we said was a prerequisite in this, whether it was any time, anywhere inspections, whether it was that they couldn't have any enrichment, whether it was -- there were unlimited access to the inspections. none of that turned out to be true. we kaefcaved in on all of it. we don't even have our hostages back. >> he also weighed in saying he favors the idea of a greater israeli. he even held a fund-raiser in the west bank settlement of shelo. he is making his positions here on the conflict and on the iran deal. >> oren lieberman in jerusalem, thank you for that. >>> donald trump says he will fix immigration, but now he is contradicting his own big plans? that is next.

if you remember the interaction i had with evan or huckabee, i want to read the -- governor huckabee, i want to revisit that for a second. it was a civilized its agreement and exchange. i thought that was great. we have differing opinions on this issue. governor huckabee came up to me on the commercial -- that is the stuff you really wanted to see, by the way. you are watching fox make a lot of money from commercials. they should have given you an option to pay a little more and watch what we are doing. governor huckabee came up to me and said, thanks for such a civilized exchange. i said to him, i have known mike for a while. mike, you are civilized to me, and i will be civilized to you. that is how it should be. we were an hour and five minutes or so into that debate. here is why it is a problem. 71% of the federal budget today, 71% is being spent by entitlements and debt service. we spend the overwhelming amount of time except for that question on the other 29%. why is that? politicians are scared to talk to you about it. we have to reform the entitlement system because the governm

mike huckabee went this morning. mr. huckabee: this is called q&a . that means question and answers in your world, but for me it means questions and avoidance. you ask questions, i will try not to do anything that will end my presidential aspirations here today at the soapbox. john: that was huckabee, trying to do the soapbox. martin o'malley is going to be number two. that's happening now. is this a quaint little iowa tradition that is all cute and no one cares, or could this have a real impact on a candidates fortune? mark: the des moines register says huckabee did not get a lot of questions. the soapbox is a special thing. the register lets anybody ask questions, the format is very open, and it is one of the big testing grounds on how you handle hecklers and hostile questions. stand -- the democrats sneend a lot of hostile people. hillary clinton and mr. trump are not subjecting themselves to the soapbox. john: most of these guys, even when they do town hall meetings, they are basically friendly crowds. republicans go to republican events and democ

thank you is what mike huckabee wanted. he got the attention that donald trump was getting before for a brief shining moment. people were talking about mike huckabee a coincidence, a week out from the debate and he is someone trying to get into the debate. so it serves hung how's cynical agenda to get the press talking about him and the same kind of attention that the republicans except for donald trump have been clamoring to get. >> the traffic to his website went up 100 percent and he got on a bunch of tv shows. >> you previous this is part of trump affect for the fact that he had to use something that he knew would be inflammatory? >> in question. i am disgusted that he used the murder of six million jews to do it but he accomplished his cynical political goal. donald trump has raised the bar for people he has allowed other candidates to try to compete as saying outrageous things such as minimum -- action -- as mexicans rape and there is never an excuse to talk about the home cost unless you talking about the homicide or

. >>> mike huckabee heading to israel to discuss the nuclear deal. the candidate said the iran deal would take the israelis quote to the door of the oven. >> i think it is the most dangerous situation that we face not just for the middle east, but the rest of the world and a long time. this is essentially arming and equipping a terrorist state. the iranian government is not to be trusted. for 36 years, they kidnapped americans and killed americans. they hold americans hostage right now. we're being pushed to get into a deal that gives us nothing, but gives the iranians the capacity to end up with a nuclear weapon. >> huckabee expressed admiration, sort of, for republican rival donald trump. calling him a master at branding. it helped him get ten times the press coverage. huckabee said if he got that attention, he would be leading in the polls the. >>> the u.s. pentagon planning to expand the drones overseas. it would broaden intelligence in ukraine, iraq, syria, south china sea and south africa. it would grow the military capacity for lethal air stri

huckabee said if he got that attention, he would be leading in the polls. the pentagon plans to expand an the number of drone flights overseas. 50% of more flights would broaden intelligence collection in ukraine and iraq and syria and north africa. the plan would grow the military's capacity for lethal air strikes. if put into action, the first significant boost to the u.s. drone program since 2011. >>> the obama administration told china the law enforcement don't have permission to work in the u.s. the u.s. has warned beijing about the operation fox hunt. they are working thought america to hunt down fugitives and return them to china. chinese law enforcement personnel cannot work in the u.s. without permission. >>> a good start to the week. european shares are higher. dow futures are flat. the selloff is still going strong this morning. oil surprises are falling down to six-year lows. >>> at&t worked in a close partnership with the nsa for years to retrieve information. at&t gave the agency billions of access to e-mails sent on networks and allowed the a

mike huckabee says dealing with iran would in danger. president obama: it's a general pattern that we've seen is -- would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad. gwen: but huckabee did not back down. >> wasn't comparing the president to adolf hitler. when we did not take seriously the threat that was made to jews for 20 years after the writings of hitler -- gwen: chris christie flat out said what others are thinking that no matter what his popularity now trump has a disqualifying characteristics. this was in a conversation with john harwood. >> not possible for him to be a successful president. i think it's much less likely for him to be successful than it is for me to be successful. i don't think it wow be in the best interest of our party who i don't think would be an effective president to be the nominee. in the end that's why i'm running. gwen: some republicans are worried about the stone throwing. jeb bush speaking today tried for a little humor saying he looks forward to sharing the stage with another candidate ben carson a

mike huckabee is expected to meet with prime minister benjamin aninetanyahu. netanyahu is perhaps the most outspoken of this iran nuclear deal. huckabee spoke with cnn's wolf blitzer and blasted the iran deal. >> we violated every single thing that we said was a prerequisite in this, whether it was any time, anywhere inspections, whether it was that they couldn't have any enrichment, whether it was -- there were unlimited access to the inspections. none of that turned out to be true. we caved in on all of it. we don't even have our hostages back. >> reporter: mike huckabee spoke with the israeli/palestinian conflict and he held a fund-raiser in the west bank settlement of shelo. christine, mike huckabee making very big statements here and making it very clear where he stands on the conflict and the iran deal. >> the iran nuclear vote is happening next month. dozens are in israeli visiting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. was he able to influence them, do you think. >> reporter: that is the big question. 58 congressmen in all and 36 republicans and the r

then he mixed it up big-time with mike huckabee. christie would essentially reform social security by raising the eligibility age and means testing. mike huckabee says that's theft. watch. >> he's not lying. just wrong. i'm the only guy on the stage who put out a detailed 12-point plan on entitlement reform. >> nobody in this country is on social security because they made the decision when they were starting, who at 14 they wanted to trust some of their money with the government. >> whole bunch of candidates today are in georgia for the big red state conference which starts tonight and in new hampshire today, jeb bush stopped off at a lobster house in new hampshire and he is campaigning there, and frankly was asked a number of times about what' some critics say was a tepid dedebate performance and he said eights not about one or two debates. a campaign is a long haul of persuading lots lots of people. so you can hear him dismissing yesterday and trying to move on because he wasn't the standout and clear i didn't make the headlines.

if you remember the interaction i had with evan or huckabee, i want to read the -- governor huckabee, i want to revisit that for a second. it was a civilized its agreement and exchange. i thought that was great. we have differing opinions on this issue. governor huckabee came up to me on the commercial -- that is the stuff you really wanted to see, by the way. you are watching fox make a lot of money from commercials. they should have given you an option to pay a little more and watch what we are doing. governor huckabee came up to me and said, thanks for such a civilized exchange. i said to him, i have known mike for a while. mike, you are civilized to me, and i will be civilized to you. that is how it should be. we were an hour and five minutes or so into that debate. here is why it is a problem. today,the federal budget 71% is being spent by entitlements and debt service. whelming the over amount of time except for that question on the other 29%. why is that? politicians are scared to talk to you about it. we have to reform the entitlement system because the government has failed y

huckabee's campaign? >> my wife has. and was in a focus group, it was quite interesting to me pretty --e that had what do i say -- notions about who they were supporting? a lot of them changed. at the university, we had a closed circuit tv. we were not there. they were at a different location. but then we voted as to whether it was positive or negative, and governor huckabee actually came out much, much stronger after people saw him in the debate. i was certainly intrigued. i have not totally made up my mind, but i was certainly intrigued with him. and i wanted to see some more. this is aee: i think wonderful country that ought to be preserved. and it will be preserved without the participation of those of us to every day had to worry about how we were going to pay the bills, get our kids to go to college. i came to the conclusion that everybody wants to eat from a clean plate. but somebody has to do the dishes. and many of you are thinking, perhaps i do not know if i am going to vote. that's part of doing the dishes. yo

the nine governors are -- jeb bush, scott walker, mike huckabee, chris christie, john kasich, rick perry, bobby jindal, george pataki, and jim gilmore. the first five made the cut for the top 10 debate. collectively the governors of the u.s. population, some 97 million people. the five senators are -- ted cruz, marco rubio, rand paul, rick santorum, and lindsey graham. cruz, rubio, and paul made the top 10 cut. senators are representing 21% of the u.s. population. then there are the political outsiders doctor-donald trump, ben carson, and carly fiorina the first two of whom were in the top 10 debate. measured by their standing in the polls, the three republican front-runners are donald trump, jeb bush, and scott walker. the democratic presidential debates are not yet scheduled but are expected to kick off in iowa this fall. question, were there any stand outs and stand out moments in these debates? pat? >> well, john, i think everybody is going to focus in on donald trump and it was a very rough, tough night for him. did was he hardened and solidified his base and may have added to it be

huckabee didn't get hard questions. this is where mitt romney was asked about economics and said, corporations are people. john: we were there. mark: the soapbox is a special thing. "the register" lets anyone ask questions, and it is one of the big testing grounds of how you handle hecklers and hostile questioners. i bet you democrats and a lot of hostile people -- two people aren't doing this. hillary clinton is not subjecting herself, and mr. trump so far is not subjecting himself. john: that is the key thing people forget about that romney event. the guy who got him to say that was a critic, a heckler, and most of these guys come even when they do town hall meetings, they are basically friendly crowds. democrats go to democrat events. republicans go to republican events. left-wing socialists can walk by and go after the republican candidate. that is a different level of jeopardy. mark: if you're interested in how these candidates handle a tough testing ground, go to "the des moines register" website. they are streami

huckabee was with him i don't expect to be recognized everybody calls me dennis anyway. [laughter] by the way he is a very bad man. dell by his book the 10 commandments is because it is a bat and ball dash a best seller i warned her about that i suggest because of their experience to identify as a native she did work the back roads like mike huckabee did. body general -- body is the only one that speaks faster than i do. he has trouble getting traction early on but what that space he sued the federal government over common core that is his issue the most explosive domestic policy issue i have seen arrive on the political scene in 25 years and the beats have no idea how badly screwed up whole market is at the kitchen table and there is nothing worse than a mom and dad who can to second grade math and they are mad and this is an issue growing and bobby jindal gore readily embraced as did governor bush and governor huckabee, they all did the then governor walker but it ain't working and bobby jindal has stepped up to sue the federal government because they checked over with

>> we take you live to the iowa state fair to listen to mike huckabee. let's begin -- again with pork cap on the stick. it is what is for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack. i want to thank -- they think you to " the des moines register" for giving us this forum and for all of you to coming to listen to a politician talk. i think a lot of times you and i hear a lot of politicians talk. you hear a lot of people come to your city. this time 17 republicans are coming to iowa to ask for your in thed support caucuses. there will be a handful of democrats that will come as well. hillary probably is not going to come. she will e-mail in her appearance is. --appearances. [laughter] prettythe clinton's well, i was born in hope, arkansas, the same town bill clinton was born in -- morning. people wonder how it is possible so many people would come from such a small town. , butnswer is i don't know what i do know for the republicans who are deciding how to vote, who to vote for, a lot of the questions are, is there anybody on our site that has a good opportunity t

the ones who win last night was the lady and huckabee. the lady should be president and huckabee would be vice president. if you want to go by those debates. host: dorothy on facebook says this -- bob from louisville, kentucky. independent caller. caller: thank you very much for taking my call. the one i thought did good was trump. what i'm looking for in the president is a patriot. he is the only one who sounds like a patriot. them are on their knees at the party trough. trump stands up, by god. patriot is what i looking for. i'm not a democrat or republican. i want a patriot in the office. host: ralph writes in the washington times today -- there is zero expectation that any winning coalition will begin forming around candidates anytime soon. it's likely that donald trump will lead the field for a wild and many others can stay a float thanks to donors. stephen pryor in oklahoma. republican caller. hello. maryland,caller from the way some of his own neighbors are turned up -- turned up baltimore when it's run by democrats -- i really lik

was speaking directly to the people who support huckabee. i don't want to lose your support and outlined why, i just wish he didn't conflate the two issues. >> there was a lot in there. >> the one issue is right to life or the other issue is planned parenthood violating the law which they are if they're profitably selling body parts and stick to that. >> i mentioned final talk times. trump got 10 minutes and 30 seconds huckabee got six and a half minutes, jeb bush got eight and a half minutes. rand paul talked the least, four minutes and 51 seconds. >> yelled the most though. [laughter] >> he difficult. >> he needed that time. >> before that debate even started seven other candidates battled t out in cleveland including carly fiorina who many say came out the big winner of that hour. what she said that got everybody talking. stay with us. >> welcome back to "outnumbered". the gop debating cleveland started at 5:00 p.m. eastern with seven candidates taking the stage spending less time sparring with each other and more time taking shots at pre

huckabee, clearly. last name i'm sure he even helped himself but he's got some support that's residual from when he ran and from his programming on television. what's interesting is that you don't see the-- as many of them rallying around santorum early, even though they were so important in just the last election psyche toll help him win the iowa caucus. so they could still come to him. but cruz moved early, and forcefully and passionately to try to get at-- lock down some portion of that vote. you know, even with his announcement speech. so he-- i think he's got a head start when it comes to the evangelical vote. >> aside from that, if you look at the debate last night, right, trump has changed the scorecard for all the other candidates. if your goal was to be the blunt, straight talkener this campaign, you cannot beat trump at that. if that was your brand, it's now dead. so now you're seeing a bit of a bidding war on substance and on abortion, for example, right. so rubio kind of locked himself into

plus, republican presidential candidate mike huckabee says reverend dr. martin luther king would be, quote, appalled by the black lives matter movement. we'll talk to the pastor of ebenezer baptist church in atlanta and get his reaction to that next. aa chance to try somethinglook. different. this summer, challenge your preconceptions and experience a cadillac for yourself. take advantage of our summer offers. get this low mileage lease on select ats models, in stock the longest, for around 269 per month. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on.

in almost all of the republicans did better than average against for governor huckabee. what do you guys make of this? >> the republicans actually have a pretty decent bench of those that are willing to cut spending. and don't forget that republicans like to spend that money. it is huge defense budgets and corporate welfare, the kind of thing -- >> republicans are worse than democrats? >> absolutely. those are not cheap. >> it's really hard. so when someone can do something on the a state level, that's something to command. you are also making the system of government that is supposed to help people do the things that supposed to do and do it in a better way, frankly, if it can be smaller and more manageable. stossel: john kasich says the commerce department not to be slowing down. >> he is right about that. but any candidate that is not going to talk about it as mitt romney decided not to, or cutting military is not serious about it. >> walker, who i thought was serious, cut taxpayer funding on this. >> that's right, on the presidential race so far, spending corporate m

huckabee, clearly. last name i'm sure he even helped himself but he's got some support that's residual from when he ran and from his programming on television. what's interesting is that you don't see the-- as many of them rallying around santorum early, even though they were so important in just the last election psyche toll help him win the iowa caucus. so they could still come to him. but cruz moved early, and forcefully and passionately to try to get at-- lock down some portion of that vote. you know even with his announcement speech. so he-- i think he's got a head start when it comes to the evangelical vote. >> aside from that, if you look at the debate last night right trump has changed the scorecard for all the other candidates. if your goal was to be the blunt, straight talkener this campaign, you cannot beat trump at that. if that was your brand, it's now dead. so now you're seeing a bit of a bidding war on substance and on abortion, for example, right. so rubio kind of locked himself into a p

joining me now from south carolina, governor mike huckabee huckabee. i want to play this exchange from last night. >> governor huckabee like governor walker you have strong issues on social issues. you favor a constitutional amendment banning same-sex mar marriage marriages. you favor a constitutional amendments banning abortions except for the life of the mother. how do you persuade enough independents and democrats to be elected in 2016? >> a lot of people are talking about defunding planned parenthood as if it's a game changer. i think it's time to do something more bold. the next president ought to invoke the 5th and 14th amendments to the constitution. now that we clearly know that that baby inside the mother's womb is a person at the moment of conception. >> governor huckabee welcome to the factor. you're taking some heat for that answer. i want to clarify. are you saying that the supreme court's ruling in row v wade was wrong, or are you saying you would move on your own under your view of the constitution to outlaw abortion? >> what i'm saying

huckabee, 19. rand paul, eight. marco rubio, seven. ben carson, zero. scott walker is the experienced guy on this stage. 65 debates to his credit. donald trump zero. how does that play out tonight? >> there's certainly a very big difference between a campaign for being governor and running for president or being a county executive and running for president. but also ted cruz with that smaller stat, he was a champion college debater. that's still a different ball game. donald trump on the other hand, he spent a lot of time on television, he knows how to do this, he does a lot of tv interviews. so he's well-polished. ready to handle himself well on stage. the question is, which version of himself does he want to put on stage. that's the challenge. they have to prepare for a or b, which drurp shows up. the nice one or the mean one. >> does the tv experience translate to a solid debate performance. one guy who's been polling decently well is mike huckabee. he was on fox news for some time. he's been very outspoken about the recent supreme court decision reg

this seems like a perfect setting for mike huckabee. he seems like he can shine on the soapbox. >> absolutely. first of all, he has the experience of having run for president before, and that is really invaluable but, also, he has that easy, folksy style, a very conversational way of addressing people. interesting he chose to go into the attack on hillary clinton. this is not a republican crowd necessarily at the state fair. this is a bipartisan group, so going right on the attack is something that i think may be something that not all the candidates choose to do from that particular venue. >> now, kathie, we can't let you go without saying this is an opportunity to connect with voters. they're right there with him and they are. that's the beauty of the state fair. it also does come with some risk, doesn't it? the soapbox is where mitt romney uttered that infamous line, corporations are people, and that obviously was used against him throughout his campaign. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, this is a really sort of a fluid situation at the

mark: huckabee and carson neither of them dominated. john: i think huckabee did better. carson is a mystery to me. i understand his appeal. every time he spoke, the energy level in the room collapsed. he had a good closing statement but the rest was bad for him. mark: fox gave trump a lot more time than others. that was unfair. nextt time, we will have to see how candidates deal with that. if you assume cnn will make up the trump show again -- they tried to engage but it was not very effective. john: we will be right back with the real star of last night's debate after this. ♪ mark: let's talk more about last night's debate with our colleague al hunt. al hillary clinton and her team seemed pretty psyched about the debate last night. honest appraisal, should they have been happy? with her anything that should worry them? al: i don't think it was one of the most memorable debates i have ever seen so would maybe forgotten in a couple of months. short-term, hillary and democrats should be pleased. trump dominated which is good for democrats. second, there was focus on of a

it was christie versus huckabee. protecting america from the ticking time bomb. >> we raised the retirement age two years. we raised it one month a year for 25 years when we're all living longer and living better lives. secondly, we would need -- >> nobody in this country is on social security because they made the decision when they were starting work at 14 that they wanted to trust some of their money with the government. whose fault is it that the system is screwed up? is it the recipients or is it the government? the fair tax transforms the process by which we fund social security and medicare because the money paid at consumption is paid by everybody, including illegals, prostitutes, pim approximates, drug dealers, all the people freeloading off the system now. >> all right. cashin in crew is back. michelle, receipts start with you. which plan is right? christie wants to raise the age and means test. huckabee wants to have a fair tax pay for it. >> i usually don't agree with chris christie, but i'm with christie

mark: huckabee and carson, neither of them dominated. john: i think huckabee did better. carson is a mystery to me. i understand his appeal. every time he spoke, the energy level in the room collapsed. he had a good closing statement but the rest was bad for him. mark: fox gave trump a lot more time than others. that was unfair. next time, we will have to see how candidates deal with that. if you assume cnn will make up the trump show again -- they tried to engage but it was not very effective. john: we will be right back with the real star of last night's debate after this. ♪ mark: let's talk more about last night's debate with our colleague al hunt. al, hillary clinton and her team seemed pretty psyched about the debate last night. honest appraisal, should they have been happy? with her anything that should worry them? al: i don't think it was one of the most memorable debates i have ever seen so would maybe forgotten in a couple of months. short-term, hillary and democrats should be pleased. trump dominated which is good for democrats. second, there was focus on of a

governor huckabee, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, shannon. great to be back. >> the good news/bad news. let's look at your poll numbers. you didn't slip after the first primary debate but you're holding steady and it's just at 6%. what's the plan for moving that number up? >> the key for us is just stay in the race. a lot of people think that the polls at this point matter. they only matter in getting you on the stage. what really matters right now is building organization and structure in the early states. i think it's one of the advantages of having done this before. everybody gets panicked about who's leading, who's heading up the polls. but if you go back historically, whose ever in first place even with a 2-1 margin, the one thing you can be pretty certain of, that person is not going to be the nominee, if history holds to the way it's been. >> do you think donald trump has staying power? i mean what does the rest of the gop field do with the tsunami that is the donald? >> well, you know, you don't worry about donald trump. he's a force

>> huckabee. huckabee. >> cruz, cruz. >> huckabee. >> bad news for donald trump great news for ted cruz and mike huckabee. >> as the candidates faced off how did they are punches and proposals s resinate with viewers. >> here with more is co host clayton morris. >> did you watch it last night. social media exploded last night. it was surprising to see one of the big themes that emerged from social media it was on the fox moderators last night. they thought that fox moderators were unusually harsh at many of the candidates particularly donald trump. particularly this question from megyn kelly. >> you call women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. >> only rosie o'donnell. >> no. it wasn't. >> and then tweet by rosie o'donnell. she jumped on social media last night. she said try explaining that to your kids. there were comments fast and furious across facebook as well. brenda on facebook said i think fox picked on trump and didn't offer him a level playing field. the quip on

he went on it with huckabee a little bit, but he defeated huckabee in my opinion. >> all right. then 5:00 p.m. hour you picked carly fiorina. she was lighting up social media after her performance in the 5:00 p.m. hour. >> she was. someone who was a ceo of one of the largest companies in the world, she could have been removed from sort of the small business family business, but she highlighted that. if you look at her bio, you understand why. she started out as a secretary in a little real estate firm. so she's been from the ultimate small local business all the way to the highest strata of business. so she gets it. >> what about the losers on the economy, guys? grab your paddles. who do you think dropped the ball on the economy? >> i'm going to borrow her paddle. >> i'm going to agree. >> why mike huckabee? >> i give mike huckabee credit for wanting to talk about social security just as chris christie came out with this plan i think is nuts but didn't talk about it during the debate, it's the third role of american politics. the idea somehow a consumption tax is a good reason n

i don't know where huckabee stands. >> i am a christian, i do like mike huckabee as a person. i don't think he's electable. >> frank, did you ask that specific question or did that come up? >> they brought it up themselves. i want -- let's be sophisticated here. iowa voters want someone with strong moral values. new hampshire voters are more economically based. what allows you to win in iowa hurts you in new hampshire. huckabee is doing much better in iowa. he's behind in new hampshire because of the moral issues. see you tomorrow night. >>> the fbi is looking into the security of hillary clinton's private server. so is there any chance she could be well investigated and put in jail? ed henry has a full report. we'll ask judge andrew napolitano what he thinks next. why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night.
