CNN's Jake Tapper Interviews Mike Huckabee 8-10-15

governor Mike Huckabee governor thank you for joining me good to see you as always thank you very much Jack so governor when

was as many of your fellow conservatives interpreted at I'm a sexist attack I

enough I was and ushered up a mostly just said look Donald Trump doesn't need me to help him get on television and get publicity I'll

focus on %HESITATION what Mike Huckabee stands far and my issues and that's what I continue to do do

you how do you respond to people who say boy it really seems like Republicans are afraid of criticizing Donald

Trump maybe they're afraid of him attacking them maybe it's because they want his voters %HESITATION you

got a job to do now if I were still a pondered over at fox news has a was for six and a half years I'd

weigh in on this all day long but you know what I have to focus on is why I'm running for president after being a governor ten and a half years a lieutenant governor for three I

got lots to talk about and frankly if I had a dollar Everytime somebody mentioned Donald Trump to me I

have the best funded campaign and the entire Republican field right now you'll be the next Donald Trump well let me ask you some follow ups are from Thursday out of eight on

issues that you do want to talk about you the next president should invoke the Fifth Amendment of the constitution guaranteeing due process and

the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteeing equal protection when it comes to protecting the unborn at

what point would president Huckabee given his druthers establish personhood would be the moment of conception or would it be fetal viability and

once a person who has been established how far in your view do you think the government should go to insure these proposed constitutional protection well

conception is the logical place to declare life because that's when twenty three chromosomes from the mother

in twenty three from the father I create that imprint of that individual and DNA

that's going to last him or her the rest of of one's life I've viability is an ever moving target what's

viable now wasn't viable a few years ago so I I really want to focus on the fact that we

we've let this issue be about abortion is the wrong issue the issue is about do we believe that the unborn child is a human being because

if we do and if personhood is really the issue then the fifth and Fourteenth Amendment would

automatically apply to that individual and I I really think we've nested for a long time and we've you

know talk about defunding Planned Parenthood but check this is a bigger issue and I think the Planned Parenthood videos kinda helped put it in perspective this

is savagery when people are selling baby parts I mean I just can't deep in me believe that any

mark of a civilized people president Obama is out there today aggressively pushing the Iran deal one of his basic argument is that the

Chinese and the Russians and others were already ready to forgo sanctions against Iran altogether so
