" America is arrogant that's what mr. Obama said today doing his best Dixie Chicks impression well -- new world order -- traveled across Europe. And that as our headline this Friday night date numbers 74 of a country I am proud of Obama attacks America now speaking to an audience in France this is what the president said this very morning."
" In America there's the failure to appreciate. Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to parker what you to meet common challenges. There have been times where America shown arrogance. And been dismissive. Even the rest of."
" And they liberal tradition of blame America first well that's still alive but -- really be surprised from a man who sat in reverend Wright's church from a man who launched his political career in the home of a man. And who bombed the Pentagon and is -- repentant. This is Obama may not be proud of our country I bet she's proud of her husband tonight but the nonsense -- didn't stop there political dot com reports that. In a meeting with European bankers the president said. That his administration was the only thing standing between them and pitchforks. And presumably he didn't read data off a teleprompter. -- Mr. President I wonder where people get the idea that Americans are arrogant. And joining me tonight is former presidential candidate and author of do the right thing Mike Huckabee you know -- to I present this. When you consider Mike governor sorry. What his -- we are so many things worse that that happened okay although we have done just in the last century alone to save you're up. From themselves I I present this. I think it's outrageous the media has ignored it. Isn't this like the Dixie."
" I was troubled. More -- where he said what he said David what he said. Why did he say that during the campaign money he looked in the camera during one of the the basis of the way I don't think America's all that special. I -- a very special Sean Alitalia I think America is a unique. Place created out of the prayers in Providence. That came from many people who sacrificed their very blood to give us our freedom and our liberty I love the fact that this nation. Has been given a unique place in human history now some people don't believe that you know who believes -- Richard Dreyfus -- had him on my show. Richardson a conservative I saw that by the way I was watching good but I I appreciate the fact that here's a guy. Who is very liberal but he also is very well studied on the history of the world and he recognizes America."
" I don't know what it is but with seem so it went when liberals in front of the European beliefs that they are almost embarrassed to be America. They get. This is the America that beat back fascism and nazism. And totalitarianism. And communism. And we now we're fighting terrorism and somehow we he's diminishing ourselves."
" You don't I don't think it."
" Always done for the world why doesn't he tell that story the great American story the great American sacrifice the blood the sweat the tears why -- say that."
" You know I don't understand that I know that when I went to Iraq to us see what was going on there I saw more Americans than any other nationality were other people there. Same thing in Afghanistan when I went to Pakistan after the horrible earthquakes. You know who I ran into mostly Americans it was Americans who were standing there feeding people and trying to help them put their lives back together. I think we're a country that is all we shown a sacrificial slide I want. Is cleared this it he Americanism in Europe and as much as the their parliaments their papers -- international bureaucracies what could exist this. I think there's a certain level of pride that every country has and certainly we have pride in our country I would expect that every. And citizen of any European country during Asian country would also have product we want that we we think that's healthy. But when you began to denigrate your own country and act as if it really. Is not that specialty of there's a great Michael Ramirez cartoon that's twice Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist great investor's business daily. As he's got one in Obama nominees and on my show this week -- and he's brilliant Obama's holding -- one of these you know fingers that says we're one of twenty."
" Democrats say don't we just want to want to let you know what -- is. I think that we have adopted a different strategy that is with a most generous people on earth -- people in trouble we've advance the human condition. More than any other country on the face of this earth while Europe has adopted socialism of Barack Obama -- was talking today about a world without nuclear weapons now. I would love that utopia but as always Kim -- ill exist there's always terrorism exists and -- shot exist. We need nuclear weapons to protect good free people from evil. It doesn't seem to understand this reality and that's troubling to it was also troubling videos to -- says you know we need to get -- of nuclear energy and I'm thinking you go to the country -- 9% of its electricity is out of a -- it's like going to Texas and say we really don't -- I think that's a pretty good analogy but I I think it says a lot. You know here he is he achieved in this country the highest office in the land. The American people elect Barack Obama. I think it says more about him that he didn't make the case as you are articulating tonight. About the goodness and greatness and the wonder of America. And he talked about America's arrogance to say Americans are arrogant when Europe wouldn't exist from the very problems they created. Is the height of arrogance on Barack Obama's part. I don't -- I'm I'm wondering if they'll be morbid kickback from this what it would."
" I think there will be it's one thing to say that. We're very proud country and we want we expect you to be proud. But to act like that somehow we should apologize for being Americans I think most of Americans will say wait a minute we recognized. That other nations of the world -- part of the great family of nations and we respect and we honor and we celebrate you. But we don't do their -- agenda."
" See all of this in the campaign and as I was bringing up that -- give us little insight into his his thought process didn't. You know Michelle Obama America's about right mean country and journalists focused on what what fashion designer she's choosing what choose she's wearing a and what do you say giving the queen in their little visit over there. But I think and -- we get some insight when you set it off ward and gives speeches when Bill Ayers. It's -- do you think he harbors. Deep resentment that he just hi it's because I believe he does well I don't know can't look in his heart but I know this I'm beginning to believe he may have listened the more those sermons and I thought he had. Because when I hear what -- I don't really give always adamant in Arizona and guy who aren't you really are but I but I do believe that this wasn't a terrible thing to go to Europe standing in in the midst of this people. And in essence saying. The united states -- there really isn't all that special and you are though the leading continent and that's in essence what he said that did Europe is the leader. Now look I think Europe is a wonderful continent. But I don't necessarily believe that if you look at the great innovations that have changed the world in technology. And in finance America it's America that's where the great innovation -- about his his plan to lift the US ban on family travel. And remittances to Cuba now. When you add to that for example you know. Overseas contingency operations. We can't use the term war on terror enemy combatant and combatant gitmo. I have a great fear that he doesn't understand. The world as it's currently configured. And that he is lowering our defenses and he's in building the world's enemies now perhaps some on the doom and gloom guy. But I think Obama is showing weakness and this weakness is going to incur aggression he reminds me a lot of Jimmy Carter and perhaps even worse well it's certainly not turning out so well I mean this week when he talked about the we're going to make overtures or artillery Clinton did. Overtures to the Taliban and we're going to sit down and talk. But to the moderates look what we're talking about people who believe that we ought to be annihilated that we should not draw another breath there's no such thing is moderation -- these people believe we ought to be dead. Islamic fascism is not out to Middle East overseas contingency operations that we don't have Jerry is a terrorist they look -- you think he got rolled aside due in the G twenty. It appears that in many ways and he went over there to say. We need more. Cooperation and Angela Merkel essentially said we're not spending more money if you want us to. You know there's talk about it international law -- monetary unit the dollar would no longer be the monetary standard global we should have pushed back very hard and quickly on that and we sort of shrugged her shoulders and said well we think about it he went on he wants to show why get along like me and things like -- listen I. I understand liberals are not going to likely real hard for a little section John -- I don't accept the truth I accept a preeminent hotline they can cost -- him -- wanted to -- authorities -- yes. Eight I -- a lot Giambi. To be honest if I hate that they have where flooded yeah wolf good to see my governor -- Mike and double -- didn't we'll see -- Huckabee this weekend okay for a."
