Tonight on Huckabee, Kansas Senator Roger Marshall,
legendary funny man Rich Little,
NASA Space Engineer Jose Hernandez,
Latin of Gospel Trio Point of Grace.
That's Dre Corley of the Music City Connection,
and mere announcer Keith Bilbrey.
And now, here's Mike Huckabee!
What a great crowd we've got here tonight.
So grateful for these folks
and happy to have you joining us by television.
Hey, what a week in the news, right?
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced
that the U.S. Senate has abandoned
its longstanding dress code
that required jackets and ties for men
and business attire for ladies.
Mostly so that Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman,
who dresses like a junior high soccer player,
will get to wear a hoodie, shorts, and sandals
on the Senate floor.
Hey, did Fetterman think he was running for student council
when he campaigned to be a senator, huh?
I mean, is showing a bit of respect for the institution
or maybe the prestige of the Capitol building itself
not enough itself to at least wear something other
than what a stoned-out gamer would be wearing
while absorbed in hours of PlayStation, for heaven's sakes?
70-year-old Senator Susan Collins joked
that she might wear a bikini to the Senate.
No disrespect to the Senator, but gosh, I hope not.
But if she wants to wear a moo-moo or some sweat pants,
knock yourself out.
Mitt Romney, who is fortunately announcing
he's retiring from the Senate,
I predict that he will probably start showing up
in flip-flops because no one is better
at flip-flops than Mitt, that's for sure.
Okay, maybe instead of lowering the standard
of the Senate dress code,
Chuck Schumer should have just asked
the junior senator from Pennsylvania
to literally put on his big boy pants
and come to the Senate chamber dressed like a grownup, okay?
Maybe that would have been better.
I mean, what's next?
Casual Friday in the Capitol being clothes optional?
Oh, I mean, that site would sure set up
a government shutdown that would truly unite
the country, right?
Democrats, Republicans, and independents
would mutually demand the closure of the nation's Capitol
should that happen.
I mean, the term naked and afraid would simply be changed
to Congress naked and the taxpayers are afraid.
By the way, in other news, the debate continues to rage
as to whether there should be an age limit
for people serving in government.
Sure, Joe Biden is 80, but his press secretary said
this week that 80 is the new 40.
I ain't buying that.
Folks, when I was 40, I didn't have to be led
on and off a stage like a terrified three-year-old
in a church Christmas pageant,
and I could at least speak a complete sentence
without screaming or doing the loud whisper routine
like someone off his meds.
40% less than those-
Same exact drug made by the same exact-
Pay them more.
What is that about?
Really?
I'm gonna continue this.
You know, it's really not age that people are worried about.
I mean, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is 89.
He still runs every day.
He is as coherent as people a third of his age
and one of the most decent people in Washington.
You know, it's not how old, but it's how competent.
Heck, Clint Eastwood is in his nineties.
He's still writing, directing, and acting
in some great movies.
And get this, Mick Jagger is the same age as Joe Biden,
but imagine Joe Biden doing this.
At 80 years, young Sir Michael Philip Mick Jagger
is still living the rockstar life to the fullest.
We wish him a very happy birthday.
Entertainment Bureau report.
We on World is One.
Hey, I'm not even close to 80, but I can't do that.
Folks, it's not that Joe is 80.
It's that he slobbers through his sentences
and shuffles around like he's trying to find his nurse
at the senior citizen's home.
That's the issue.
And if that wasn't enough drama for the week,
here's one that turned all our heads.
The US Marines lost an F-35 fighter plane.
As Joe would say, not a joke, not making it up.
No, the pilot ejected, but the plane kept flying.
And for nearly 28 hours, the military could not find it.
They couldn't find it.
An F-35 fighter jet,
the most sophisticated stealth jet in history.
I guess we didn't realize just how stealth it really was.
Our government couldn't find it.
And they asked the public, be on the lookout for a F-35.
I mean, that's what we expect
out of a $100 million airplane.
I mean, they had to issue an Amber Alert
for the doggone thing.
My iPhone has a feature that will help me find my phone
if I lose it.
You can buy little luggage tags
to track your bags for about 10 bucks.
Maybe in the next round of these planes,
when we're spending a hundred million bucks for one,
we ought to add that feature in there.
My wife loses her iPhone at least once a week
and her keys every other week,
but we always find her phone and her keys
and they aren't nearly as big or as expensive
as a jet fighter.
But don't worry about that cost.
Turns out it was fully insured.
As the insurance commercial says,
we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
Now we've seen more than a thing or two.
Makes me wonder just who's running the military these days.
Oh, that's right.
It's Joe Biden.
Now I get it.
Enough said.
Roger Marshall is a father, grandfather,
and a medical doctor.
He's delivered over 5,000 babies.
As House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched
an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,
Senator Marshall is saying that he's laser focused
on fighting back against Biden's failed leadership
that has caused some skyrocketing inflation,
soaring energy costs, and a historic border crisis.
I want you to welcome from the great state of Kansas,
Senator Roger Marshall.
Senator, great to have you.
I kind of thought you might come out in a hoodie
and some shorts just to sort of pay tribute to the Senate.
That has to be one of the most talked about things
going on behind the scenes at the Senate right now.
Governor, it truly is.
This is an embarrassment for the people of Pennsylvania.
You know, when you and I go to a wedding,
we get dressed up.
We put on a suit and a tie to honor the bride and groom.
You go to a funeral, we put on a dark suit,
a tie to honor the deceased, the family.
When I go to the Senate, to the Senate chamber,
I wear a suit and tie to honor the people of Kansas.
This is an insult to the people of Pennsylvania,
to the people of America, to our founding fathers.
I'm surprised that Senator Schumer relaxed that rule,
and even some of the Democrats
are now speaking out against it.
So it hasn't gone over that well, has it?
No, it's not.
It's good to see Dick Durbin, the majority whip,
to speak out against it as well.
And we have some legislation.
We're gonna fight back on it.
I do think that there's a certain decorum
that Americans expect from the United States Senate.
Before you came to the Senate, you were a medical doctor.
You built a very successful medical practice.
And as I said in the introduction, delivered 5,000 babies.
That's almost as many people as live
in most small towns in America.
What led you to say,
I'm gonna leave the wonderful state of Kansas
and go to the devil's town and do the Lord's work,
and try to be a Congressman and then a Senator?
What was the catalyst that led you to do that?
Well, Governor, I think there are certain moments
in your life when God speaks to you,
and usually God speaks to me through my wife.
And-
We're all relating to that, aren't we?
Yes, we are.
Now, by the way, my wife is here tonight.
We just had our 40th anniversary.
Congratulations.
Wonderful.
So it's 2015, one of the worst economies of our lifetime.
We weren't real happy with the White House,
and we had our first grandchild.
And she looked at me and said,
look, this country is really broken.
You like to fix things.
It's time to go.
Wow.
Much like joining the military.
That's what this job feels like, is serving our nation.
You're going through some incredible challenges right now.
Inflation is hurting working families.
A lot of rich people don't feel it.
They can still do whatever they want to do,
hadn't touched their lifestyle.
But people that have to shop for their groceries
and think about what it's costing,
those folks, which is most of America,
they are hurting these days.
And I don't get it that the folks necessarily
at the White House fully appreciate
that inflation is a gut punch to American families.
Yeah, the White House is tone deaf in so many issues.
Certainly the number one concern I hear from Kansans
is the price of gasoline, the price of groceries,
the cost of utilities.
That's the number one concern.
Interest rates.
You know, it costs twice as much
for your first mortgage payment
when you buy a new house today
than it did when Joe Biden was sworn into the White House.
The mortgage payment has literally doubled.
That idea that American dream that you and I grew up with,
we wanted to buy a house, have a fishing boat and a truck.
That's almost unsustainable in today's world right now
for young kids.
We have four kids, two of them married
with two little children.
My parents living more paycheck to paycheck,
social security check to social security check.
Certainly it's hard times.
Number one concern for Americans.
When we're talking about some of these issues,
one of the big ones that I think a lot of Americans
scratch their head and say, how come this is going on?
There is a mess at the border.
It breaks my heart because I know there are little kids
who are being trafficked as sex slaves
being pulled across this border.
There are people who are hopeful,
that they dream and they wanna come
and they're not bad people,
but they've been duped into believing
that if they can just step across the border,
that America is gonna take care of every need they have.
And now we're beginning to see that's simply not realistic.
Right, so under Joe Biden,
I guess some six, seven million people
have entered this country illegally.
Our open Southern border is the number one
most immediate national security threat our nation faces.
We're losing over 300 young Americans every day
to fentanyl poisoning.
Fentanyl made in China,
delivered through the cartel across our Southern border.
It is cheaper to get a fentanyl tablet
and easier in Kansas than it is a piece of pizza.
For a dollar a tablet,
you can have this delivered to your house.
The cartel now literally spread throughout Kansas,
through your home state of Arkansas as well.
The cartel is alive and well.
And by the way, they're making more money
on human trafficking now
than they even are on the fentanyl.
You know, when we had Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard here
talking about the movie, Sound of Freedom,
they were mentioning that the cartels are making more money,
just what you said.
And at first you think, how could they be making more money?
But you take a pill, it's over.
You have a human victim of trafficking
and they get used 10, 12 times a day for years.
So, you know, when I see what's going on,
you know, my heart breaks
because there are families that have great hopes.
That's not the issue at the border.
It's that people are bringing over the drugs
and they're not staying at the border.
They're going all over America to small towns
and places where a lot of folks wouldn't think it goes.
That's what's really threatening the country.
Senator, I want you to stay with us
because we're going to take a break.
When we come back, we've got a lot more to talk about
with Senator Marshall.
Please don't go away.
Keith Bilbrey, why don't you tell us
what's coming up after the break in the show?
Well, coming up, we've got an astronaut in the house.
Jose Hernandez talks about working with NASA
and the movie inspired by his life.
And later, Rick Scarborough and Steve Feasel
with a woke wake up call.
You're watching Huckabee.

And welcome back.
We're visiting with Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas.
Senator, when we were talking before,
we spent a lot of time talking about the border,
but Republicans right now in many ways are embroiled
in the discussion about the sanctity of human life.
You're one of the most pro-life members
of either house of Congress.
And I think maybe because as an obstetrician,
you've kind of seen birth up close and personal,
5,000 deliveries.
What is the message that maybe we should be helping
Americans to understand about the value
of every single human life?
Well, Governor, I think that, you know,
people ask me what was the favorite part
of being an OB doctor?
And my favorite moment was always hearing
that baby's first cry and handing that baby to the new mom
and hopefully dad in the room.
And to see this for the first time in my life,
it was this awakening for what God's love
must be like for us.
To see this mom, just unconditional love
for this baby as well.
I think we have to just keep sharing that message, Governor,
but I also think we need to be a message of encouragement
to those young ladies that are struggling.
I've taken care of so many young girls, 14, 15, or 16,
and they were deciding what to do.
And we would say, look, I can take care of you
obstetrically, but it was great to have so many resources
in my community to do more than just that.
You know, starting with keeping that young lady in school,
making sure she has proper nutrition,
and the clothing, all that support as well.
And then once that baby's born, it's to continue
to love on that mom and that new baby.
And I think sometimes we don't emphasize enough
that when an abortion happens, there are two victims.
The obvious one is the baby,
but the other is that birth mother
who wasn't told the full story of what was happening to her
and what was being done to her,
and the challenges that she'll have later.
So I'm grateful, as you are,
for a lot of the crisis pregnancy centers
around the country.
They don't get enough credit for the love and the compassion
and the affirmation that they give to the birth moms
and the help, just the practical things
that you just mentioned, which are so valuable.
And I hope that that becomes a bigger part
of our message as a pro-life world.
I think that's critically important.
We need to share the compassion we have for the mom,
for the baby, show them that you love them,
surround them with all the love you can.
You know, give them rides to the doctor's appointment,
get them rides to the grocery store,
whatever you can do just to surround them
with all the support and love you can.
We're facing, in a few more days,
possible government shutdown, budget crisis.
Where do you see this ending?
Is it gonna be resolved?
Are we gonna see a shutdown?
And if so, is that a good or a horrible thing to happen?
Well, Governor, I don't know that I bet a crystal ball,
but I just want all your listeners understand
the gravity of the situation,
that our national debt is finally coming home to roost.
That this year alone, the federal government's
gonna spend $2 trillion more than we take in.
We're gonna spend $700 billion on interest alone.
Anyone that's ran a business, ran a state like you have,
realize when you're that far underwater,
when you're paying the bank that much money,
there's just not enough money left
to give the troops a raise,
to take care of some people's healthcare,
those types of challenges as well.
So this is really coming home to roost.
Whatever it takes for America,
for Congress to finally face up
to the budget crisis we're in.
If that takes shutting the government down
for a couple of weeks in order to get our arms
around the problem, I'm willing to do that.
I think a lot of people just want there to be
a wake-up call in Washington,
because a government can't spend money it doesn't have,
and borrow money it can't afford to pay back,
and we're doing both.
And it seems like that at some point,
somebody's gotta say, this won't just continue,
or our grandkids will not be living
in an America like we knew it.
Governor, I'm sure people, nobody ever came to you
and said, we want less money this year.
No, they didn't.
And we're spending now 20% more than we should be
on every program.
And so when I tell people painfully,
no, I can't support this program anymore,
and matter of fact, we need to cut it down a little bit.
No one seems to be happy, but we need to stay focused
on the next generation, like you just said.
Focus on the next generation, not the next election.
I'm gonna make the right decision.
Every day, I pray that God will give me justice,
that I'll love mercy, and of course, walk humbly.
So that's what my prayer is,
and I hope that all your listeners are praying
for Congress to find out what that justice looks like
as we face this budget debt crisis.
Senator, I wanna say, I think a lot of us as Americans
are grateful that you are there with your convictions,
your values, the world that you have lived in,
and you're taking those to Washington.
You haven't changed.
You're still that guy that grew up
in a small town in Kansas.
You've taken that heart with you.
How grateful all of us need to be for your service.
Thank you for your service,
and thank you for being here with us.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Senator Marshall is on social media.
We've got all the details for you at our website.
If you go to Huckabee.tv,
we will connect you to Senator Marshall.
Right now, we're gonna turn our attention
to Keith Bilbrey to see
has he got anything else to tell us about tonight,
because I know he does.
Keith?
Oh, you better believe it.
Coming up, gospel sensation Point of Grace
is here to sing their newest single,
and watch out, legendary comedian Rich Little is here,
and he's capable of anything.
You're watching Huckabee.
Let's go.
Well, Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas,
he lit up when he heard Trey and the band
start playing the song by the band Kansas,
Carry On, Wayward Son.
Trey, by the way, is that wayward son
they were singing about, I'm pretty sure.
Well, as a young migrant farm worker
whose family was from Mexico,
Jose Hernandez's dream of being an astronaut,
well, it seemed impossible,
but hard work, determination,
and the unwavering support of his family and teachers,
it became a reality.
The inspiring story of how he became
part of the Discovery Space Shuttle crew
is told in a new Amazon Prime movie
called A Million Miles Away.
I saw the movie this week, and I gotta tell you,
I loved it, and I've been so very excited
to meet our next guest.
I've been pumped all week about it.
I want you to give a big welcome
to NASA engineer and astronaut, Jose Hernandez.
Jose, so glad to have you here.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, John.
I wasn't kidding.
This film is so wholesome.
It's so inspiring.
Your story is a story America needs to know about,
and I thank you for telling it in this film.
Yeah, thank you very much.
I think it demonstrates that the American dream
is alive and well.
It may take us a little bit more work to get there,
but the American dream still exists.
Your father was a huge influence.
You know, he worked in the fields for children,
and yet he would not let you guys quit,
and he would not let you think
that you could just slack off.
Exactly.
He taught us a great work ethic.
Every Saturday and Sunday during the school year,
we were out there working with him and mom,
and while a lot of kids love summer vacation,
we dreaded it because we knew
we had to be out there seven days a week,
but that taught us that great work ethic
and not to quit and don't be afraid of hard work.
But when you're out there in the fields,
you're a little kid, I mean, how do you think,
I'm gonna be an astronaut someday?
I mean, that would, for a lot of people,
seem an impossibility.
Well, you know, the dream was conceived
when I was 10 years old.
Picture a 10-year-old boy watching a black and white TV
with rabbit ear antennas.
Young folks don't know what rabbit ear antennas are,
but just picture a 10-year-old boy
watching the very last astronaut,
Gene Cernan, walking on the moon,
and there I am saying, that's what I wanna be.
And I tell my father,
who only has a third-grade education,
I tell my father, he takes me to the kitchen
and he does two amazing things.
First, he validates the dream.
He says, I think you can do it.
Second, he says, follow this simple
five-ingredient recipe, son.
He says, determine your purpose in life.
Recognize how far you are, draw yourself a road map,
and prepare yourself according to the challenge,
and develop a work ethic second to none.
He says, you mix that up, son,
and that's the recipe to succeed in life.
And you followed your dad's recipe.
He added six ingredients, perseverance.
How many times did you apply to NASA and were told no?
11 times, it wasn't until the 12th time.
Every year for 11 years,
you applied to be in the astronaut program
and they said no.
Exactly.
When I watch in that film, what you went through,
I mean, all the different things that you ended up doing,
you had a phenomenal wife, have a phenomenal wife,
who has been so encouraging to you in that.
Now you've got a son who has earned his PhD,
he's gonna be a NASA engineer.
That's correct.
How cool is that?
Following the footsteps.
Going further, because he has a PhD
and he's learning how to fly and scuba dive.
I mean, he is an incredible young man,
as my three daughters are.
And my last one is in his third year
of mechanical engineering,
so I can see the light of the end
of the dark tuition tunnel.
You know what I think you're most happy about?
Jose, I think what's really exciting to you
is that oldest son is off your payroll
and on somebody else's right now.
He's off the Hernandez payroll, exactly.
Gotta be a great thing.
Was it kind of surreal watching your life
portrayed on the screen?
Was there ever a moment you said,
oh my goodness, what?
Yes, you never grow up saying,
I'm gonna grow up so they make a movie about me.
I just wanna be an astronaut,
but then I realized that I became a role model
and I embraced that.
And I said, you know,
we've got kind of like lightning in a bottle here
that we need to share to motivate our kids.
Because right now it's kind of hard to get them motivated
and I'm hoping they see this story
and they say, if he did it, why can't I?
You know, an empowerment process.
I want my grandchildren to see this story.
I want people across America,
because some people, maybe they're adults,
but they've got kids and grandkids.
They need to start thinking hopefully toward them.
But I think younger people could see this and realize,
I need to quit telling myself what I can't do
and start working hard for what I can do.
Exactly.
Jose, absolutely one of the best films I've seen
in a long, long time.
Thank you very much, Governor.
Thank you. On Prime Video.
I am so thrilled to have you here.
And you're right, it can be seen.
And if you have Prime Video, you can watch it.
It's free on Prime Video.
If you don't, it's worth getting Amazon Prime
to see this film.
It's called A Million Miles Away.
On now, so it's great.
It is on, because I watched it this week.
It's streaming right now on Amazon Prime.
And if you want trailers and links to stream it,
if you go to Huckabee.tv,
we have direct links to the streaming process at Amazon.
Please see the film.
I promise it will inspire you as it did me.
Right now, Keith, he may be lost in space,
but he's only about 20 feet away.
Somehow he's gonna find a way
to tell us what's coming up next.
Well, after the break, Steve Feasel and Rick Scarborough
take on the political wolf
in their new book, America in the Balance.
It's all ahead on Huckabee.
And welcome back.
One of the reasons we enjoy doing this show
is because we have some phenomenal music
right here in the theater every single time.
And that's because we've got Trey Corley
and the Music City Connection, the best band in America.
Give them a hand.
Steve Feasel and Dr. Rick Scarborough
are both retired pastors who've reached thousands
through their sermons.
They've teamed up to write a powerful new book.
It's called America in the Balance,
the American Dream versus the Woke Nightmare.
In it, they expose how positions on vital issues
by liberals are in direct opposition
to undeniable biblical truths.
I think it is a must-read
before any American goes and votes.
And I'm not just saying that because I wrote the forward.
Please welcome to the show, Steve Feasel and Rick Scarborough.
Great to have you guys.
Thank you.
Rick, you and I have known each other
for well over 40 years, maybe 45.
You have been a consistent voice for biblical truth.
I'm not seeing a lot of biblical truth.
And Rick, what bothers me, I'm seeing a lot of churches
who are just kind of fading away from scriptural teaching.
It's frightening, Mike.
You know, the Bible says perfect love cast out fear.
I'm afraid many of our churches have lost
their perfect love for the Savior.
There's such an attack on anyone who speaks truth,
which you would well know,
that it causes a lot of the faint-hearted
to back away and reserve their voice.
And the tragic consequence is what we've got
in this country right now.
Is it because people wanna be liked, wanna be popular?
They don't wanna be criticized.
They don't wanna be canceled.
What drives people to just shelter in place
and refuse to take a proper stand for simple things,
that there are two genders, that marriage matters,
things that we all grew up believing were right.
You know, Mike, when you and I met,
I was in my second trip through the seminary.
I'm a little older than you are, obviously.
But when you and I met, there was a wave
of young men and women who wanted to serve God.
It was right after the Jesus movement,
and the seminaries were just packed.
And what I found there was 2,000 students who loved Jesus.
They'd charge hell with a water pistol.
But what I've observed over the years
is after they've gone to the second church,
the third church, run into controversy,
they see their friends who compromise stay seated,
or I should say, in one place,
their kids become accustomed to the same friends,
and they lose the fire to go forward and fight the fight.
And so what I'm doing right now
at this latter stage of my life
is going around saying, preachers,
you've got another chance now to redeem your whole ministry.
We stand up and fight, or we lose the country.
Steve, Faisal, when we talk about this whole idea,
it matters to end well, doesn't it, in our lives?
As whether we're pastors
or whether we're just church members,
we need to end well by sticking to the stuff.
We can't be neutral anymore.
When you have political policies
that are attacking biblical principles,
and they take those biblical principles
into the political arena, we can't say,
that's a political issue now,
we can't go in there and fight.
If you're gonna attack the biblical principles
that I have been able to say that I'm gonna defend
as a minister of the gospel,
I'm gonna go in that political arena and fight for them too,
because we gotta get the word out,
and we've gotta wake up, America,
that we cannot be neutral on these issues,
and we gotta vote our values.
Thank you.
You know, Rick, there's so many people who say,
Christians ought to stay out of the political arena,
that's dirty business, don't get involved in that stuff.
What's your answer to the folks who make that claim?
My answer is, that's a lie.
A long time ago, I quit trying to talk these guys
into getting involved.
What I do is I look for the ones
who are willing to get involved in the power of them,
men who followed your examples.
You know, you and I met in seminary,
but I preached revivals in churches
where you were standing,
and then one day I heard you were running
for political office.
I had nothing but admiration for you,
and what God did through you,
not only in the state of Arkansas,
but now to the whole country,
is an example to those who are willing to fight,
who are willing to endure the battle.
Jesus plus one, actually Jesus plus no one is a majority,
but Jesus plus one can get a lot done.
Yeah.
What do you feel like,
and I'll ask both of you this question,
if there's one big cultural or social issue
that we are looking at today on the landscape
that is most detrimental
to being able to maintain a biblical worldview,
what is it?
Well, I would answer that,
this whole transgender thing.
This is an attack on the very person of God.
God created male, God created female.
To deny that truth is to deny it's obvious.
So that's, to me, the issue.
Steve, your view?
I think the darkest day in American history
was not Pearl Harbor or 9-11.
To me, it was June the 25th, 1962,
when they took prayer out of school.
And we've got things that are taken,
like now we got drag queens in school.
Hey, if blackface is wrong,
white people dressing up by black people
and demeaning black people,
then males dressing up like women, demeaning women,
that is wrong also too,
and we need to stand against that.
That's a very logical assumption,
but people don't make that connection,
and it's just hard for me to understand.
Well, the book is one that people need to get and read.
I think it is a great book for people who are engaged.
It's a great book for people
who maybe aren't sure they need to be engaged.
It's called America in the Balance,
and you can get this book.
It's available right now.
You can order it, find it at bookstores,
and I hope you will.
To make it easy, we have links for you at huckabee.tv
so that you can get the book.
And speaking of getting something,
Keith Bilbrey is gonna get the opportunity
to tell us what else is on the show tonight.
Keith?
Well, get ready, Governor.
The legendary comedian and impressionist,
Rich Little, is in the house.
Will he do your favorite, Preston?
Stay tuned and find out.
Huckabee.tv and get your very own
made in the USA Huckabee mugs, t-shirts, and more.
You know, it is impossible to add up
all of Rich Little's appearances on talk,
variety, and game shows,
because numbers just don't go that high.
He may be the most popular TV guest of all time.
He certainly is here on this show
where he holds the record for the most appearances
by any guest we've ever had, for a reason.
He also tours and performs regularly at the Laugh Factory
at the Tropicana Hotel in Vegas.
My wife and I already have tickets to go see him in person
in Las Vegas in December.
I want you to welcome back one of my favorite guests,
the king of impressionists, Rich Little.
Thank you.
Well, I'm still alive.
I am just delighted to be back on the Mike Huckabee Show.
I really am.
And of course, at my age, I'm delighted to be anywhere.
Except on the border.
But, um, is everybody in a good mood tonight?
Well, I'll put a stop to that.
I would like to do for you tonight
George Burns, Clint Eastwood, and Humphrey Bogart.
Starting out with Humphrey Bogart.
My name is Sam Spade.
I'm a detective.
All right, shut up and listen, fat man.
I guess you thought I was going to play the patsy for you.
Well, I play the sap for nobody.
I do know this, Gutman.
You had the wheezer here call Mrs. McAdoo
and told her to call Archer.
So you see, fat man, there's only one person
who could have killed my partner.
That was me, because I'm the only one
who understands this speech.
That was the whole movie, by the way.
The Maltese Falcon.
If you haven't seen the movie, that was the whole plot.
I just gave you, and it didn't make any sense either.
But nobody seemed to care.
All right, Clint Eastwood.
You know, before I was an actor, I was a plumber.
And one day I was up in this lady's bathroom
and I said to her, do I hear four flushes
or do I hear five?
To tell you the truth, in all the confusion,
I can't seem to remember myself.
But seeing this as the most powerful toilet bowl
in the world, capable of blowing a man's butt off
with one flush, you gotta ask yourself,
do you feel lucky?
Well, do you, punk?
Go ahead, go ahead.
Make my bidet.
George Burns.
George Burns, I love George Burns.
How are ya?
Listen, I'll be with you in an hour.
You know, back in the 30s, back in the 30s,
before I met Gracie, I was engaged to a wonderful gal
and we were gonna get married.
And then the night before the wedding,
for some strange reason, she called it off.
It was over, just like that.
I couldn't believe it, but it happened.
However, the next morning when she woke up,
she felt bad about what she did
and she sat down and wrote me a final letter.
Here's what she said.
I'm returning every present that you gave me.
I'm sending back each letter that you wrote,
every sweet momentum that we cherish,
the locket that I wore around my throat,
and clothes you'll find the mortgage on the house there.
That affair, you must admit, is true.
I'm returning everything except the baby.
That's the one thing that I didn't get from you.
Oh, pretty baby.
That's the one thing that I didn't get from you.
Fred Astaire, eat your heart out.
Yeah, I like that.
Thank you.
Do you get a sense that this crowd loves you a little bit?
This crowd is great.
Wow.
Do you remember the year I came here
and they had the ice storm?
Oh yeah, you-
There was nobody here.
Nobody here.
Nobody here at all, and I got a great reaction.
We did.
Rich, there's a reason we love having you
and we'll keep having you back as long as you will come.
Hey, for tour dates and to get tickets
to see the incomparable Rich Little
and Art of Baia's book,
if you'll head to Huckabee.tv, we will hook you up
and maybe I'll bump into you when I'm out there
at his show in December in Vegas.
Right now, Keith is gonna try to make as good an impression
on you as he can.
He's gonna tell you what's next.
Well, up next, Point of Grace celebrates 30 years
making gospel music,
and they're here to sing their new song at the table.
Well, up a seat.
We'll be right back.
Next week, Gordon Logan celebrates 10 years
of helping a hero,
and Brian White sings his classic 90s hit,
Waitin' On Gold.
Well, I love this show because both the comedian
and the musical actor are among my all-time favorite guests.
Point of Grace is a multi award-winning
contemporary Christian group.
They're celebrating the 30th anniversary
of their debut album,
and the release of their brand new album
called Turn Your Eyes comes out October 20th.
And on that same day,
TBN will be airing the Dove Awards,
where they just happen to have two more nominations
for Dove Awards.
These ladies got their start at my alma mater,
Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas.
They even sang at my daughter's wedding
because I begged them to do it.
That's why.
I am so very happy to welcome them back to the show,
Point of Grace.
Welcome back.
Hello.
You know, two more Dove Award nominations,
that's a big deal.
30 years in the business,
most people don't last that long.
It is.
We were really surprised,
and we are very honored to have that happen to us this year
after all these years.
I'm not surprised
because you keep turning out phenomenal music.
You've got a big Christmas show coming up this year.
Tell us about that.
We do have our Christmas show.
That's really our favorite time of the year
to, you know, all the bells and whistles to get dressed up
because we kind of like to get dressed up,
but it's just such a fun time.
And we've got some great Christmas records
that Christmas music is timeless.
And so it's just always fun.
And we have a city near you,
so figure it out and come see us.
So it is a big tour that you're going to be out on the road.
Well, it's big for us.
I mean, 12 cities for us is big.
Yeah, but that's still a lot of travel
right during the Christmas season.
It is.
So the new album comes out in October.
What are we going to hear on it?
New stuff?
It's got a little new, a little borrowed, little blue.
Yes, we wrote a song that we're going to do here tonight.
And then it's got some hymns with a twist.
Turn Your Eyes is called Turn Your Eyes on Jesus.
It's taken from that.
We have songs like It Is Well.
And then some wonderful worship of like Awesome God
that we redid of Rich Mullins and Waymaker.
A lot of just great.
It's a mix.
It's a mix of stuff for the church.
Well, I'm glad you have stayed together this long
because the music never gets old.
It keeps getting better.
And it's why we love having Point of Grace on this show
and always will.
So please never say no when we ask you.
Never say no.
Well, Keith, while the group and I get ready
to make some music for these good folks,
why don't you tell the viewers how they can keep up
with Point of Grace and make that Christmas show?
Well, to get the album Turn Your Eyes
and tickets on their Gloria tour,
just visit Huckabee.tv.
You can also watch an online-only performance
of Turn Your Eyes.
