ARE REPORTEDLY ALREADY REACHING
OUT TO DON ORORS.
JOINING ME NOW ARKANSAS GOVERNOR
MIKE HUCKABEE.
GOVERNOR HUGE BEE, GREAT TO SEE
YOU.
SO MANY PEOPLE SAY I DON’T CARE
WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SAYING,
THERE’S NO WAY HE WILL RUN IN
2024 AND LOOKS LIKE THE COMPETITION IS HEATING UP,
COMPETITION IS HEATING UP,
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PRIME THEIR
POSITIONS.
>> THEY REALLY ARE, JACKIE AND
THE NUMBERS ARE DISMAL.
IT’S A LIFE FEST OUT OF SHEER
CONCRETE AND HE’S SINKING TO THE
BOTTOM AND WHO ARE THE 38% THAT
SAY JOE IS DOING A GOOD JOB.
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT DON’T READ
AND DON’T KEEP UP WITH ANYTHING
THAT’S GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND
MIGHT LIVE SOMEWHERE IN A CAVE
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE THAT LOOK
AROUND SEE THE ECONOMY AND THEY
RECOGNIZE WHAT A MESS WE ARE IN
AND, YOU KNOW, JOE CAN TRY ALL
HE WANTS BUT HE CAN’T ESCAPE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR A BIG PORTION
OF THIS.
JACKIE: AND I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT
AND PROBABLY INCLUDED IN THE 38%
ARE EXTREME FAR LEFT THAT LOOK
AT, FOR EXAMPLE, ENERGY POLICY
AND GREEN ENERGY POLICY AGENDA
AND ARE HAPPY ABOUT THAT SO
PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES
BUT MOST OF THE COUNTRY RIGHT
NOW SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF
HIGH GAS PRICES, HIGH FOOD
PRICES, INFLATION AND NO END IN
SIGHT AT LEAST FOR THE NEAR TERM
RIGHT NOW.
IT’S SO INTERESTING IF HE WERE
NOT TO RUN IN 2024, YOU HAD
KAMALA HARRIS WHO HAD HUGE
OPPORTUNITY AND SQUANDERED IT AS
VICE PRESIDENT AND I’M NOT
REALLY SURE THAT THE OPTIONS ON
THE DEMOCRATS’ SIDE REALLY MAKE
A LOT OF SENSE HERE.
>> WELL, THEY DON’T.
INTERESTINGLY KAMALA HARRIS LOST
HER SPEECH WRITER THIS PAST WEEK
AND QUITE FRANKLY WATCHING SOME
OF HER SPEECHES IN WHICH SHE
TALKED IN CIRCLES, ONE HAD TO
WONDER, YOU MEAN SHE HAD A
SPEECH WRITER AND SOMEBODY WAS
PUTTING IT IN FRONT OF HER AND
SHE HAD THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK
THAT.
CLEARLY KAMALA HARRIS HAD A
PROBLEM IN READING WHAT WAS IN
FRONT OF HER.
JACKIE: THE PRESIDENT HAS THE
SAME PROBLEM TOO.
AROUND THE SAME PAGE THERE TOO,
RIGHT?
>> WELL, ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT
IS WHEN YOU ASK PEOPLE ABOUT THE
ECONOMY, ONLY 18% OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK IT’S IN
GOOD SHAPE, NOW, THAT INCLUDES A
LOT OF DEMOCRATS, 82% OF THE
PEOPLE SAY THE ECONOMY IS IN THE
TANK.
JACKIE: YEAH.
MIKE: YOU JUST CAN’T OVERCOME
THOSE NUMBERS AND THE ECONOMY IS
ALWAYS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT
AMERICAN FAMILIES THINK ABOUT
WHEN THEY GO TO VOTE.
JACKIE: INFLATION 9.1% YEAR OVER
YEAR.
THAT NUMBER ONLY CONTINUES TO
RISE AND THE WHITE HOUSE
EXPLAINS IT AWAY BY SAYING IT’S
BACKWARD LOOKING BUT PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN FEELING THAT, THEY’VE BEEN
PAYING FOR THAT, THAT’S COMING
OUT OF THEIR BUDGET FOR THE YEAR
AND IT’S GOING TO BE A WHILE
BEFORE IT DROPS, GOVERNOR, WE DO
KNOW THAT.
I WANT TO TRANSITION, THOUGH,
AND SWITCH GEARS FOR A MOMENT
WHILE I HAVE YOU BECAUSE STEPHEN
COLBERT STAFF NOW IN THE CLEAR,
CHARGES OF UNLAWFUL ENTRY IN
HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING WERE
DROPPED YESTERDAY.
THEY ORIGINALLY WENT IN SAYING
THAT THEY WERE RECORDING A
COMEDY SKIT AND FOX NEWS
REPORTING CAPITOL POLICE ARE
UPSET ABOUT THE DECISION WITH
FORCES SAYING IT UNDERCUTS LAW
ENFORCEMENT TRYING TO SECURE THE
COMPLEX AFTER JANUARY 6TH AND I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD
AGREE WITH THAT.
UNLAWFUL ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING
NOT ALLOWED DOESN’T MATTER THE
REASON THEY WERE DOING IT FOR.
WHY IS THERE DOUBLE STANDARDS
HERE?
>> IS WHAT AMERICANS REALLY
ANGRY ABOUT AND PARTICULARLY
HALF OF AMERICA THAT SEEMS TO BE
ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE
SWITCH AND THE STICKS AND THE
BELTS AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS
THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS THROWING
AT US.
THERE’S A REAL SENSE OF OUTRAGE
THAT BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE ON
THE LEFT AND THEY WORK FOR
STEPHEN COLBERT.
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE TOLD NOT
ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES TO LEAVE
THE CAPITAL AND THEN ALLOWED
BACK IN BY CONGRESSIONAL
STAFFER.
SO THERE ARE TWO BIG QUESTIONS. NUMBER 1, HOW COME THEY DIDN’T
NUMBER 1, HOW COME THEY DIDN’T
GET ARRESTED, WHY WERE THEY NOT
PUT IN NO-FLY AND STAY IN JAIL
FOR 16 MAILS AND AWAITING SOME
OF THE HEARINGS LIKE PROTESTORS
DID?
SOME OF THEM NEVER ENTERED THE
CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6TH AND STILL
GOT CHARGED, THEIR LIVES WERE
RUINED.
HERE IS THE OTHER QUESTION, ARE
YOU TELLING ME THAT NOT A SINGLE
CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER GOT FIRED
FOR LETTING THEM IN?
JACKIE: FOR THE ACCESS, RIGHT?
MIKE: ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN PEOPLE SAY IF YOU SPEAK UP
AT A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING,
YOU’RE A DOMESTIC TERRORIST BUT
IF YOU’RE A LIBERAL, YOU GO TO
THE CAPITOL AND BE THERE
UNLAWFULLY UNESCORTED, YOU ARE
TOLD TO LEAVE AND YOU DON’T AND
NOTHING HAPPENS TO YOU.
THAT’S NOT REALLY A GOOD LOOK
FOR THE DEMOCRATS AND FOR THE
FAR LEFT AND I THINK IT ONLY
BODES WELL THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE,
I HOPE THEY WILL, BE UTTERLY FED
UP AND SEND THESE GUYS PACKING
IN NOVEMBER.
JACKIE: SO MANY DOUBLE STANDARDS
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SPEAKER
PELOSI, HOUSE PAUL MAKING PRETTY
HEFTY TRADES BETTING ON
SEMICONDUCTORS, CHIP STOCKS
AHEAD OF VOTE ON LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD CHANGE WHAT WE ARE
DOING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
WITH SEMICONDUCTORS AND SO MANY
PEOPLE SAY IT MIGHT BE LEGAL BUT
IT’S NOT ETHICAL.
GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE, GREAT TO
