"Huckabee" Preview
By Mike Huckabee
After a week like this, I know you could use a new episode of “Huckabee” on TBN, and we have a great one for you tonight. I’ll discuss the latest DC developments with an endangered species: rational, Constitution-respecting Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard. We’ll get some thoughts on the coming Senate impeachment farce from Rudy Giuliani. Author and viral video star Carlos Whitaker will talk about his inspiring new book. Actor/country star John Schneider will give us a sneak peek at his great new movie inspired by his love of one of my all-time favorites, “Smokey and the Bandit.” And we’ll have music, and a very special salute to a heroic US military veteran, from country star Tim Atwood.
We get eastbound and down, starting tonight at 8 and 11 EST, 7 and 10 CST, and Sunday at 9 EST/8 CST, on TBN.

Democrats Press Ahead On Impeachment
By Mike Huckabee
To the surprise of nobody, Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer seems determined to press ahead with a trial on the unprecedented, most likely unconstitutional impeachment of former President Trump.
He’s insisting that you can impeach someone who’s no longer in office, even though impeachment exists as an action to remove someone from office. It’s possible that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts might refuse even to preside over it, if he cares about the Constitution (sadly, that’s an open question.) Here are some more details on the confusing issues that are only now being debated because in all of American history, this is the first time Congress has ever pulled anything this stupid, at least in the impeachment field.
Sen. Mitch McConnell is pressing to delay any trial to February, to give Trump’s people a fair chance to mount a defense, something they didn’t get to do during the rushed House vote, which is another reason why this is totally bogus (another is that he was impeached for allegedly inciting the Capitol riot with a speech that a federal investigation has already proven took place after the rioters had already started planning their assault.) Schumer will likely oppose that, since trying to impeach a President who’s been gone for five weeks might look five times dumber than trying to impeach one who’s been gone for one week.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas tried (probably futilely) to inject some common sense into the Senate proceedings by pointing out, “We won’t be doing any confirmations, we won’t be doing any COVID-19 relief, we won’t be doing anything else other than impeaching a person who’s not even President.” Unfortunately, we live in a time when trying to inject common sense into the Senate is like trying to give a vaccination shot to a Pet Rock.
Reactions To Biden's Keystone Pipeline Decision
By Mike Huckabee
Multiple union leaders are joining Canadian officials in expressing their anger over President Biden’s executive order killing the Keystone Pipeline project (along with thousands of union jobs) and reneging on an expensive agreement with Canada, just to appease some radical green activists and “undo Trump’s legacy.”
Never having run a business (or done anything other than warm a government seat for 47 years), Biden doesn’t understand that when a new boss comes in, he doesn’t arbitrarily cancel every project his predecessor set in motion, especially not those that represent a major investment and a number of binding outside contracts.
Unfortunately, he’s also surrounded himself with other people whose experience is entirely in politics, which explains the clueless response to the anger by his Transportation Secretary pick, Pete Buttigieg (whose experience includes being mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and nothing involving transportation or oil.) In a stunning "learn to code" moment, Buttigieg brushed off concerns about all the lost union jobs, assuring the newly unemployed pipeline workers that with Biden’s coming climate initiatives, they can just find “different” jobs.
This Administration is only four days old, and I’m already seeing a lot of people who need to find different jobs.
Delay
By Mike Huckabee
Speaking of the mindless reversal of all Trump policies, even those nobody wants reversed: Biden put a delay of up to 60 days on an HHS directive that was to have taken effect Friday, requiring community health centers to charge low-income patients the acquisition price for insulin and EpiPens. Question for Biden voters: did you support him because you wanted higher medical bills?
This is part of a general freeze/review on all Trump policies, apparently to insure they aren’t evil or something. Although why anyone would think a measure to help provide low-cost insulin to poor diabetes patients should be put on hold is beyond me. That’s taking mindless partisanship to the level of psychotic partisanship.

More Biden Problems With Reality
By Mike Huckabee
This article explains why President Biden’s reversal of Trump’s so-called “Muslim ban” is empty leftist virtue-signaling that will make America, like Europe, more vulnerable to deadly terrorist attacks. That’s because (as we’ve been explaining here for four years) it was never a “Muslim ban” at all; it was a ban on travel from a handful of nations, some of them majority Muslim, that harbor terrorist activity.
