RUSH: We welcome to the EIB Network Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is in New York at this hour. Governor, welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Thank you very much, Rush. It\u2019s been a long time, and I\u2019ve been listening to you for many years. You\u2019re a great American.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. So are you, sir. Now let\u2019s get right to the chase here. I said something a couple weeks ago, maybe ten days ago, about you and Governor Romney that you strenuously objected to. What was it that I said that was incorrect?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, that I had made an issue out of his religion and had sort of poisoned him with evangelicals and that\u2019s simply not true. You know, one of the things that I\u2019ve been very adamant about is that I don\u2019t think his religion has one thing to do with whether people should support him. Some of my favorite public servants in America happen to be the same religion he is, the Morman religion. That would be people like Mike Leavitt, Orrin Hatch, Jon Huntsman, the current governor of Utah. Great people. It has nothing to do with it. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but they\u2019re not running for president nor running against you for the nomination. I guess I track this back to at one point you talking about what Romney believes, that Christ and Lucifer were brothers.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: It was a question that I actually asked of the New York Times Magazine writer, because he knew a lot more about Mormonism than I did. It appeared as 11 words in about a 10,000-word story, and that got all the play. I personally apologized to Mitt because it did come across wrong and it\u2019s simply not the way I feel and it isn\u2019t, and I don\u2019t think Mitt Romney\u2019s religion has a thing to do with it. I think, you know, a record has to do with it, but not his religion. And frankly, my attitude is, the primary\u2019s over, we need to get behind John McCain, support him, He\u2019s our best chance, right now, our only chance to beat Barack Obama, and Barack Obama will destroy small business, his plans for higher taxes would be abominable, and his absolutely frankly deplorable view about when life begins is nothing short of frightening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, he\u2019s got a Pelosi problem on that. You know, she\u2019s been denounced by as many Catholic Church leaders as have chosen to speak out on it and she\u2019s standing by it. You know, these people are sitting ducks I think if the Republican campaign is run the right way. Are you on the vice presidential short list?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I don\u2019t even think I\u2019m on the long list. I have not been asked to pack a bag to go to Dayton on Friday so I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any illusion. If he\u2019s looking for a female, the closest I would get is if they would ask me to maybe dress in drag and run that way but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen, so, no, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m on the list at all.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who do you think is going to be named? Do you have any inside information?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: No. Nothing inside. I don\u2019t have a clue. I mean he may throw the long ball and pick somebody like a Frank Keating, somebody that hadn\u2019t even been talked about because everybody\u2019s focused on a handful of names and, you know, McCain just might shock the daylights out of all of us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you think he needs to accomplish with his vice presidential pick?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: He\u2019s got to get somebody who can rally the base and make people want to go out and nail yard signs, make phone calls, walk streets, and drink warm cokes and eat cold pizza for about a month to get out the vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, can Tom Ridge do that, you think?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I love Tom Ridge. Good friend. I would support him. I wish he were pro-life. But Tom Ridge won\u2019t rally the base. You gotta have a pro-life person who is unapologetically fired up about believing that life begins at conception, and it\u2019s an important issue. And for many of us this is not a peripheral political issue, this is an issue of principle upon which we think the country was founded, that all of us are created equal, that every life has worth and value and that once you decide that some lives aren\u2019t worth as much as other lives, you make a sharp left turn toward a direction that this country can ill afford to go.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Speaking here with Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. I guess then you would have to rule out, from your preference list, Senator Lieberman and Mayor Giuliani?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, Lieberman would be a disaster from my perspective because Republicans want to elect a Republican. And how would you have a debate between Lieberman and Biden when they essentially would sit down there and drink a cup of coffee and agree with each other during the vice presidential debate. And you\u2019ve got to have somebody that, when that person goes up against Joe Biden, takes it to him and can go right to his face and put a little elbow in there underneath the basket. I was surprised by the Biden pick in a way. That to me was like going to Baskin-Robbins and picking vanilla, and I could not understand what he was thinking, and I think the polls are now reflecting that it shows a lack of judgment and capacity to think about the playing field out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the general consensus opinion on this in terms of punditry analysis is that Obama just did horribly in Pennsylvania, and that\u2019s why during their joint appearance, they mentioned Scranton, Pennsylvania, as Biden\u2019s hometown five times, they\u2019re trying to convince Democrats that Biden is a Pennsylvanian. If they lose Pennsylvania, they\u2019re done, and I think this pick was wrong in so many ways. There\u2019s nothing change oriented, there\u2019s nothing outside, there\u2019s nothing universally unique about Biden, and here\u2019s a guy in two presidential runs has never gotten more than 5% in Iowa. The idea that he\u2019s going to bring votes to the Democrat ticket is puzzling, and maybe it\u2019s an acknowledgment of Obama\u2019s weaknesses in foreign policy and the presumed strength that Biden has on it.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, if Biden were a great vote-getter he would have done better than the two or three thousand votes he got during the entire Democratic primary. I think that sort of sums it all up. I mean the obvious choice if you wanted to unite the Democratic Party and to get them all electrified would have been to pick Hillary, and that would have fired them up and brought them together.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but if he picks Hillary that means he\u2019s gotta have somebody taste his food every day and start his car for him.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: (laughing) <\/p>\n

RUSH: What about Rudy? <\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: You know Rudy has a lot of pluses in terms of his perception as a strong, strong guy on terror. But that\u2019s McCain\u2019s strength. So, you know, you\u2019d have two guys who are essentially going to have the same strength going into the race, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, Rudy is pro-choice, too.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Yeah, and I think for many people that\u2019s going to be a problem. My attitude is, John McCain is pro-life, he\u2019s clear about that, and I\u2019m going to support him because he\u2019s certainly got a much clearer understanding of when life begins than Barack Obama, who, after 47 years of life, says it\u2019s above his pay grade. Well, you know, quite frankly, if you\u2019re 47 and you hadn\u2019t thought about that human life is valuable and it begins at conception, for all the talk liberals have about their love of science and how much they embrace it and how much they depend upon it to believe in global warming and to deny the existence of creation, you know, it\u2019s interesting to me that the most irrefutable part of science is that when 23 chromosomes from male and female unite and create 46 unique chromosomes and a DNA schedule, that\u2019s not only a life, but it\u2019s a human life. It\u2019s not a stalk of broccoli; it\u2019s not a golden retriever. It\u2019s a human life and that\u2019s irrefutable science.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Peggy Noonan has one of the best ways to explain this I\u2019ve ever heard. She said, ‘If life doesn\u2019t begin at conception, then why are people buying condoms by the package?\u2019 Why are they taking a birth control pill? What about Tim Pawlenty?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I like Tim. Tim and I were governors together. He\u2019s a very, very sharp person. He\u2019s been a reform-focused governor in Minnesota. You know, the only thing that will be somewhat problematic is not many people know him, and he\u2019s never had the experience at that level on the national stage. But I think he\u2019s got the capacity and simply the intellect to be able to be a good choice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but one thing that recommends him, he\u2019s a governor. We don\u2019t need four senators running for president and vice president. That\u2019s one thing that\u2019s attractive to him. Now, Romney, I know your problem with Romney is you don\u2019t trust his record, you think he\u2019s flip-flopped on too many things and so you don\u2019t know who the real Romney is, but what do you think of him on the vice presidential ticket?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, I mean if McCain picks him I\u2019m still going to support McCain. Again, as I\u2019ve said many times, my problem with Romney was that Romney beat the rest of us up on issues where we had a real strength of record. I\u2019ve been a tax cutter; I built roads; I had an incredible pro-life record. You know, during the primary Romney attacked McCain, he attacked me. One of the problems that I think McCain would have, if he picked Romney was that it takes the Joe Biden issue off the table where Biden is saying great things about McCain and terrible things about Obama, you know, they\u2019ll be running those tapes back over and over during the debates where Romney was attacking McCain and saying, ‘Which time do we trust you, then or now?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but wait a minute, that\u2019s true for both parties. And McCain\u2019s running ads right now featuring Hillary endorsing him. There is a gold mine of Hillary audio and video that McCain can make an ad of. Those things happen in primaries. I mean you guys were ganging up on Romney, too. That\u2019s what politics is. I mean you and McCain joined together in West Virginia on the second or third ballot to take the state for McCain. That\u2019s hardball.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: No, it really wasn\u2019t us. The truth is it was the Ron Paul people who got with our delegates, and there really wasn\u2019t a deal cut with the McCain people in West Virginia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: It was the Ron Paul people who said, ‘We just want a little bit of respect, and if our guy doesn\u2019t win on the first ballot, we\u2019ll vote for you.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really. That is not the way it was explained to me.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: That\u2019s what happened. I was there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. (laughing)<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: (laughing) I was there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. Okay, well, look, Governor, I appreciate you giving me the chance here to have the record corrected, the way I mischaracterized your opposition to Romney. It\u2019s great to have you on the program and all the best to you. Since I do have you, what do you want to do next? I hear you\u2019ve done a pilot for Fox?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: We\u2019re working on a program, haven\u2019t done a pilot yet, but hopefully will have something. I\u2019m doing some Fox contributing things. I\u2019ve got a book coming out in November, and, you know, I failed the auditions for Dancing With the Stars and didn\u2019t make the cut on American Idol so, you know, I\u2019m looking for something else to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, good luck to you, and I hope you find something you love.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, I\u2019m sure I will. I love this country. I love our party, and I love the principles we stand for. I want to get John McCain elected so we don\u2019t lose the greatness of this nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you going to St. Paul?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question, I\u2019m serious about this. This hurricane down there is brewing, and if they\u2019re right, and this is very early, their range of error is 300 miles four and five days out, but the models are starting to coalesce on the Mobile, Alabama, New Orleans area, early Monday morning, two a.m., eight a.m. If this hurricane and a Cat three, Cat four, bears down New Orleans while the Republicans are in St. Paul, I can just see Obama and Biden in New Orleans, sandbags going down and bottled water. What would the Republican Party do, do you think? You know, half the media would decamp St. Paul for New Orleans. Is there anybody that you\u2019ve talked to planning this convention that\u2019s putting together some way to deal with this?<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I think they\u2019ve called in Pat Robertson to pray it off the coast. (laughing) <\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Like Fidel Castro does down in Cuba.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Something to think about because, you know, they\u2019re going to start calling this thing Katrina 2 and the Democrats, the Drive-By Media have successfully made natural disasters Republican issues, as though we\u2019re responsible for them and we don\u2019t care who gets hurt in them and so forth, and people are watching that. Governor, thanks again for your time, and I\u2019ll speak to you soon.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Look forward to it, Rush. Thanks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Governor Mike Huckabee in New York. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (whispering) Hey, Rush. It\u2019s an honor. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know what\u2019s in the water over there at the Arkansas governor\u2019s mansion, but I believe Governor Huckabee just told you a blatant lie to your face when he was describing what happened at the West Virginia convention. All 12 of McCain\u2019s delegates went for him, and to say that Ron Paul was this vast force behind Huckabee winning that convention is just preposterous, especially when you see what happened.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. You know, I have to admit my memory was a little foggy on the details, which is why I was going to look it up and refresh my memory on this after the program. But Romney won in the first ballot.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. <\/p>\n

RUSH: We know that there\u2019s something personal between Huckabee and Romney, and I think he alluded to what it may be, and that is all these attack ads. They all hated Romney, because Romney was early with his own money running a bunch of attack ads on them and they didn\u2019t like it, but my memory was that you\u2019re exactly right, that Huckabee and McCain joined forces to keep McCain in there and Romney out in West Virginia.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, and I also believe he was being disingenuous when he said he had nothing against his religion. I\u2019m neither Baptist nor a Mormon, but I was stationed on an Air Force base back in Utah in the nineties and I distinctly remember the swell of Baptists coming to Salt Lake City basically just to stage protests and directly combat the Mormon, you know, stronghold out there. So there\u2019s definitely something between those two faiths. And for him to come on and say, ‘No, no. I have nothing against it,\u2019 I believe he\u2019s being a little disingenuous there as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no, no, no. Let me be specific about this, because I did go look into some Nexis data on Governor Huckabee and the things that he had said, and he in recent months, there are a lot of stories of Huckabee saying, ‘My problem with Mitt Romney is not his religion. It\u2019s his record.\u2019 Now, you might be presuming or assuming that he\u2019s Baptist, Romney\u2019s Mormon, those two don\u2019t mix, and in his heart he\u2019s got a problem with the Mormon religion, but he would tell you he never made that the issue.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He may never have made the issue, but he\u2019s said time and again, ‘I\u2019ve never had any thing…\u2019 I just don\u2019t think he\u2019s being honest with either you or anybody else that when he came on your show today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s interesting that you say that. I\u2019m happy for the review, and I\u2019m glad you listen. Thanks very much, Brian. Speaking of Auburn Hills, Michigan, Auburn Hills, of course, is the greater Detroit metro area. Get this. This is from the New York Times today: ‘Michigan Governor to Hold Proceedings That Could Lead to the Ouster of the Mayor of Detroit.\u2019 This would be Kwame Kilpatrick. It\u2019s an embarrassing governor trying to get rid of an embarrassingly mayor! You people in Michigan, you need to get a clue. The problem with Michigan is the same thing in Pennsylvania. The people leaving the state are Republicans and they\u2019re relocating in other parts of the country, and what\u2019s left are welfare state and elderly people. So Kwame\u2019s gotta go. Look at this. Associated Press. ‘Incomes Fall in Michigan, Number in Poverty Rises.\u2019 Michigan is our own little petri dish. Michigan is the petri dish where the people algae germ grows and grows and grows and multiplies. Without anybody checking it, with there being no antibiotic, with there being no medicine, no drug to stop the unchecked geometric proportional expansion of liberalism, you get Michigan. ‘Michigan is the only state where poverty rose last year, as well as the only one where incomes fell.\u2019 Who\u2019s running the show? A lib Democrat, and it\u2019s been lib Democrats running that show in the state of Michigan. (sigh) It\u2019s just like New Orleans was a petri dish for liberalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
