we will be asking mike huckabee in the house and joins me in a few. first, let's get back to top story. president trump will be embarking on first foreign trip any minute now. i want to go to blake berman with the latest, hi, blake. blake: the president should be leaving any moment now and andrew's air force base and 9-day trip. countries visited saudi arabia, israel and then meets with the pope at the vatican, off to brussels with a meeting with nato leaders and off to sicily with meeting in the g7. at the beginning part of this meeting with world leaders of the three major religions, three of the major religions across the world and after that you have the nato g7 component as well. all nine days. the president will take this trip, though, at least on the beginning portion of it without having officially named an fbi nomination to become the director of that agency. white house officials telling me multiple officials earlier on this day that the decision is not coming on this day from the president. as you'll remember yesterday, the president himsel

former arkansas governor mike huckabee is going to bay in. here's here to tell you how it's going to work. plus, congress goes back to work on monday. they've had quite a few days off this month. but the first item on their agenda is they have to find out a way to keep our government funded and open. they've got until friday or we're headed for a government shut down. we have all the details on that for you and all eyes on france as voters there head to the polls on sunday to elect their next president. we saw it here with president trump. we saw it in great britain with brexit. so will the far right pro nationalist candidate marine le pen win? we're on it. and we're also seeing the rise of nationalism in australia strict new rules to become a citizen. what they tell you you need to believe in. all of that. is this something we should do here in the united states of america? but first, we just learned a new health care bill is in the works, and it can be passed as early as next week. let's go to our own adam shapiro for the details on that. h

i have governor mike huckabee who agrees with that, right? >> absolutely. trish: if someone went after your daughter or in a way that you perceived was going after her, you'd fight back too. >> oh, heavens yes. one of the natural instincts of your parent to fight for your children. fathers eggs specially feel that for their daughter. either you feel like your sons can fight for themselves, you feel like your daughter is special. you can protect her. nobody everybody says something to her. trish: father-daughter thing. >> you know what i read this wonderful thing of harry truman thinking, thank god he didn't have a twitter account. can you remember harry truman? trish: he was worse than trump here. he really lashed out with the kind of pizazz that i think only been reserved in modern times or recent days for donald trump. >> people love of the candor, honesty, earth thinkness, the raw emotion that they think exist in themselves. whether they see it in donald trump or harry truman, yeah, there is a real person. someone who has didn't carefully packaged and fi

joining me right now, former arkansas governor mike huckabee. governor, good to see you. he's playing a little bit to the home team there, getting a very warm reception, and specifically on that line where he talked about the importance of border control, you heard a lot of applause. >> i think he's very popular with the military. it's becoming very obvious that they are so happy to see a hands-on commander in chief who understands that the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things, not to be a social experiment, not to go and, you know, build schools and roads, but to be a fighting force. and that's what they're trained to do. but, look, i think it's important that he went to macdill air base and to centcom. this isn't a president who's saying come see me, a few generals, he's going out there and shaking hands and talking to the enlisted personnel. that's huge for morale, and i really believe it's a great way for him to start. trish: governor, he said something that i think is very important. he quoted george washington. he talked about the need of being

now, if i do say-so myself, i think her dad mike huckabee would be pretty proud because she ndled that very much well grace, and it cerinly is a high pressure situation. democrats are calling for an independent investigation into the trump campaign ties into russian while republicans worry what exactly this is going to mean for the ability to move forward on the very important economic policies we need. like tax reform. like health care reform. now, the white house says the president has lost total confidence in comey over the last few months. let's face it. both sides had lost confidence in james comey over the last few months. joining me right now founder adam johnson, former democratic party chairman scott, as well as mark. good to have all of these guys here. we're going to start with you, adam, we do get to the market in a second and what investors think of all of this. but right now, i mean, isn't this in some way serving as a giant sideshow, taking us away from the important policy reform that need to happen? >> well, the house just put together a proposal on health care. the se

huckabee joins me. governor, good to have you back. good to see you. is there anything different or anything special about these particular protests happening now in germany as we watch these pictures come in? >> probably not, trish. most of these protesters are part of what security officials openly call rent a mob. these are people who literally travel the world. they've been to see more of the globe than most of us ever will. but the question is who finances these people? but they're the same people. i had a security people tell me at a republican convention. these are the same folks. same people. same faces, and they show up all over the world. this is not unusual, and the only thing we can hope is that there's a good security force in place to keep them from really disrupting the meetings. trish: i was mentioning when i was at g8 there in germany, i was caught up in some of those protests as i was reporting on it. but none of it became so bad that it was out of hand. and to your point in some ways,

here to explain, fox news contributor, former governor of arkansas, governor mike huckabee. good to see you, sir. so he was spot on in your view. >> spot on trish. trish: in your view and my view. >> absolutely. i was proud of the president going to the u.n., saying to the faces of these countries what most of us know to be true. i find it amazing trish you have all these liberals who are crying themselves to sleep at night because the president dared tell the rogue countries the truth about themselves. let me make a point, just hope that some of these liberals would listen to. they all talked about how his speech was dark and it was dangerous. let me tell you what's dark. dark is lil' kim, aka, "rocket man", lighting a candle on icbms firing across japan and toying with the notion of taking a nuclear device and aiming it toward the west coast. that is dark and that's dangerous. i want a president who says you are not going to keep doing that. when hillary goes on stephen colbert and sits there acts like she is savant, and we need more diplomacy, i want to say, hillary, you

mike huckabee i think tweeted something out earlier. they're not happy with it. >> keep in mind, until right now, i don't think anybody knew about this. what you heard is no bricks and motorer, all about technology. >> reporter: about the deal itself. about, again -- >> listen, i'd be happy to have this discussion with anybody and convince anybody on the right this was a great deal. >> reporter: those of us on the right who are not happy with it, they've obviously seen it. >> my guess is they've not. they've been reading the "washington post" and i'm here to let the other side in, in the middle, yes, ma'am. >> reporter: if the government shuts down, he doesn't have to wait until the fall, why didn't he do that. >> i think we're giving it a chance to work. we're trying to show that we can govern, and we can. we can do it effectively and we have and fund our priorities, which this does. i think why would you shut it down when you cut a fairly good deal for the american people and funded your priorities? i think what you heard this morning

huckabee. governor, always good to see you. so, you know, he says one thing, but in reality if you fact check it, it's something else. and, you know, interestingly, he was saying the same darn line about president bush as he's saying about president trump. what do you make of that? >> well, i think it's interesting. hillary clintons has taken john lewis to task. i don't know if you heard what she said, but i want to quote some of it because i think it's very significant. she said questioning the legitimacy of the election and refusing to accept the results would be horrifying, that it's denigrating our democracy and she was appalled by it. she said that's not the way our democracy works. we've been around 240 years, we've had agree and fair elections, and we have accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. and that's what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage. oh, by the way, that was not said about john lewis, that was said about donald trump. but i'm wondering -- tr

huckabee. governor, always good to see you. you know, look, i realize you can't get everything you want, right? but we've had obamacare, and that certainly leaves a lot to be desired. we're now looking at an opportunity to reduce our deficit by a pretty meaningful amount of money and not force people into doing something that they otherwise would choose not to do. so while this may not be entirely perfect, is it not something that we should be looking to do right now? >> well, it's a good start. there's a couple of things wrong with the cbo report. first of all, the cbo doesn't exactly have the best track record. they were the ones who predicted that 24 million people would get obamacare when less than half that actually did. so when they say 24 million are going to lose, that's the headline that everybody's splashing. but this is not about losing, this is about choosing. and the reason most of the people who will so so-called lose health care will lose it is because they choose not to pay for
