Hey, folks.
Did you know that this coming Tuesday, I will be the emcee for a town hall in Philadelphia with President Trump?
Really looking forward to that.
It's gonna be fun.
Now, as you know, Pennsylvania is one of the key battleground states, and the winner of that one state may well determine the outcome of the entire election.
Now, I get asked, I mean, several times a day, how do I think it's gonna turn out?
Well, my honest answer is that if the election is straight-up honest and there aren't any issues of phony mail-in ballots, illegal immigrants being allowed to vote, and if we have complete election integrity, I honestly believe President Trump will win in what may be the biggest Electoral College landslide since 1984. But that said,
I'm nervous and cautious because the attempts to cheat are stunning and the ongoing lies from the Harris-Walls campaign and lockstep collusion with the corrupt media make me realize that every vote will truly matter.
Now, I don't care how long the lines are to vote.
I would say to you, go vote.
Frankly, I'd rather stand in line to vote than elect people whose policies will cause me to stand in line just to buy a loaf of bread someday.
So stand in line and go vote.
Don't mess this up.
I can tell you from my political experience that last-minute late-date lies are legendary in desperate campaigns, but it's always a telltale sign that a campaign sees that it's losing and resorts to last-ditch lies to try and sway gullible voters who might not even realize they're being played for chumps.
I mean, if some so-called bombshell story breaks just before an election, I'd caution, be slow to give it any credibility, especially if the source is anonymous or clearly biased.
Take, for example, the story this past week in The Atlantic by a Trump-hating writer who says that Trump liked Hitler.
On its face, that's absurd.
But if Trump really likes Hitler, or as some Democrats claim, he is Hitler, then here's a question.
Why is it that a number of Democrats are clinging to their Senate or House seats by running ads, tying themselves to Trump?
Yeah, Democrats trying to pretend that, hey, I'll be supportive of some of Trump's policies.
So does that mean they like Hitler too?
I mean, do these Democrats like Bob Casey from Pennsylvania or John Tester in Montana who see Trump winning in their states, do they really want to side with Hitler?
I mean, that's election desperation at its worst for the Democrats to try and invoke words like fascist, dictator, or evil to Donald Trump.
And the owner of the Atlantic is one of Kamala Harris's closest friends.
And the supposed source of the story is a person that Trump famously fired and has remained bitter about it.
Now I say supposed source because most of the article is based on the ever-ready anonymous sources.
Yet numerous people who are actually in the White House with Trump, including, by the way, my own daughter, dispute that he ever said disparaging words about the military.
And in fact, he had nothing but the highest respect for them, not only in public, but private settings.
Frankly, I believe my daughter far more than these cowardly critics who hide behind their anonymity to make ridiculous and refutable allegations at Donald Trump.
I mean, if they really believe...
If they really believe that Trump was so evil, why did they wait until 14 days before the election to suddenly recall these things?
I mean, it just doesn't pass the smell test.
It just smells.
And remember that supposed joy that Kamala Harris spoke of and which was touted by the joyless ladies on The View or by Oprah?
You know, I've decided they ought to rename the show The View and they ought to call it The Pew since it stinks to high heaven.
Whoa.
I mean, a chorus of angry, irrational, and crazed women who are the personification of the phrase, hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.
It is a table of foul and furious females who come across like a circle of ex-wives spewing their bile of their lives and demonstrating quite effectively why they are indeed someone's ex-wife.
That's what they come across.
Let's face it, if you're watching the Harris campaign, the joy is gone.
It's been replaced by rage and random tirades.
While Donald Trump has fun taking a shift at McDonald's or hanging out of the Bronx barbershop, Kamala is telling a couple of young men who shout that Jesus is Lord that they're at the wrong rally.
Indeed they were.
Hey, let's be real.
Kamala claims she once worked at McDonald's.
Fine.
If so, that would be the only private sector job she ever had.
Only one.
And here, here's something I wonder.
Why won't a reporter ask the simple question to prove whether she was at McDonald's?
Madam Vice President, which McDonald's was it that you worked at?
You know, if there is a campaign exhibiting real joy, quite frankly, it's the Trump Vance team.
They're unfazed by the cheap shots, both figurative and literal.
And they're answering real questions with real solutions.
And here, this is right here, the real reason you ought to feel good about voting for Trump.
Because I have it on good authority that when he worked that shift at McDonald's, he did something that no one else has seemed to be ever able to do.
He fixed the ice cream machine at McDonald's.
Well, I've spoken a lot about the importance of voting in this year's election.
As we head into the final days of the presidential campaign, here is yet another reminder for you to get out and vote.
Take a look.
I am calling on all of my Christian friends out there to vote.
You cannot sit this vote out.
It's too critical.
Your family, your religious freedom, it's all on the line.
Plan to vote.
It's our pattern in these national elections for the Christian community to stay on the sidelines.
It's time to break the pattern.
This is the most important election of my lifetime, and it's critical that as Christians, we make our voices heard.
Make sure you vote.
Who you vote for is your business, but it's the business of a responsible person to vote.
The right to vote is a tremendous privilege paid for by the blood and sacrifice of generations of brave men and women who've served in our armed forces.
So let's honor them and the Lord and get out to vote on November 5th.
Let's try to get the right people in the right positions of authority to lead our country.
Miranda Devine is an intrepid investigator and esteemed opinionator at the New York Post.
She's here to talk about all things 2024. And also, we're going to talk about her fabulous new book that you need to get.
It's called, The Big Guy, How a President and His Son Sold Out America.
Wonder who in the world would that be about?
Well, we'll find out tonight.
Would you please give a big welcome to Miranda Devine?
Great to have you here, Miranda.
Thank you very much, Governor.
I always enjoy watching your commentaries on television, but it was four years ago this very month that you broke the story about Hunter Biden's laptop.
And you were so appreciated for that.
And people, particularly in the world of journalism, thanked you and gave you many awards for that.
Yeah, right.
Actually what they did, they shut you and the entire New York Post down, wouldn't let this story appear on social media sites, censored it everywhere.
The government took an active role in trying to get it censored.
And then with all of that going on, You got banned from Facebook and were told you couldn't say those things, but 51 former intelligence agencies said that it was all a Russian hoax.
I want to go back to four years ago.
Were you stunned that your own government was lying so, I mean, just viciously about the story?
Look, Governor Huckabee, we didn't really know as much as we know today about the government's role and the role of the CIA and the FBI, the Department of State and so on, in censoring our story and lying about it, saying that the laptop, Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, and therefore our stories were Russian disinformation.
At the time, we just thought, well, Facebook and Twitter are woke.
They don't want Donald Trump to win the election.
They prefer Joe Biden.
That's why they've...
Basically cancelled us and locked our account for two weeks until just a few days before the election.
What we found afterwards through the Twitter files and through various whistleblowers is that it was the FBI that coerced Twitter and Facebook to censor our story.
And they had pre-bunked our story for weeks ahead of before we had even published.
They'd gone and had these meetings with big tech and they had told them to look out in October for a Russian hack and leak operation, likely about Hunter Biden.
And so, of course, when Twitter and Facebook saw our stories, they immediately recognised them as the vile Russian disinformation that FBI had been warning them about for weeks ago.
And it was a simple decision, I guess, for them to cancel, but the FBI knew better.
They'd had the laptop for 10 months.
They knew it wasn't Russian disinformation.
I'm sure they apologized to you later on and said how sorry they were.
They accused you of something like that.
Of course not.
And that's what is so disturbing.
The fact that the very government agencies that all of us pay for, whether we're liberal or conservative, would use the power of the public trust and say, we're not going to let your information go out there, even though it was later proven that what you said was 100% correct.
Absolutely.
And, you know, the FBI knew that it was correct.
They had already vetted the laptop.
They'd found that it was fit to be used in a court of law, which it later was, that it had not been tampered with.
They had been spying on President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, for months.
So they would have known that he had in his possession the laptop and they would have known that...
The New York Post was about to publish.
So that was an op to make sure that derogatory information about Joe Biden did not see the light of day.
And then even worse than that, you mentioned the letter from the 51 former intelligence officials.
Most of those were CIA. And in fact, that letter, falsely claiming that the laptop was Russian disinformation, Was given the green light by the then CIA director, Gina Haspel, under Donald Trump.
So again, another domestic CIA operation for election interference to ensure that Donald Trump didn't win.
You know, what's frightening is that there were people who supposedly were working for Donald Trump And he had appointed them, put them in their places, and they were actively working to undermine him at every single turn.
That is disturbing because we only have one president who is elected by the people.
Those who are appointed or employed are supposed to serve at his pleasure.
They're not supposed to basically conduct what amounts to a coup.
Exactly.
And, you know, Donald Trump talked about the deep state, but I don't even think until he took office he realised the full extent of their power and unaccountability.
They have an agenda that is at odds to what the American people want, particularly in foreign policy.
You see how their agenda works by the disasters under Joe Biden and under Barack Obama, world on fire.
Under Donald Trump, who just approached foreign policy like everything else, like a property developer from Queens, on first principles, using logic and common sense.
Everything around the world, sort of, Putin was in his box.
Kim Jong-un from North Korea was in his box.
Iran was on its knees.
No one was attacking Israel.
ISIS was vanquished.
You know, Donald Trump achieved a lot just by not following the deep state's agenda.
And that's what I think people love about him most.
He is not somebody who goes and asks the people of D.C., what would you like me to do?
He asks the people of America, what would you like for me to do?
And people kind of like that.
We've got a lot more to talk about with Miranda Devine, including getting into this book, The Big Guy.
We're going to be talking about that in a moment.
But right now, Keith Bilbrey is going to fill you in on who else is coming up in the show.
So Keith, take it away.
Well, on the way, Stacey Lynn Harris dishes up a delicious venison chili recipe.
And later, brand new music from the talented Danny Gokey.
Keep it right here on Huckabee.
Go to Huckabee.tv and get your very own Made in the USA.
Huckabee mugs, t-shirts, and more.
*music* And we're back with New York Post columnist and bestselling author Miranda Devine, the author of this book, The Big Guy.
Let's talk about this because just like you broke a huge story of the laptop four years ago, this book is a stunning expose of what people in the kind of inside Biden world called the big guy.
Who is the big guy?
The big guy is Joe Biden, our esteemed president, and that was the nickname that his son and his former business partners used to refer to him because the family was paranoid that anyone would find out the extent of Joe Biden's involvement in his son Hunter's overseas business dealings, which, if you remember, during the 2020 campaign was a refrain of Joe Biden's.
He insisted that he knew nothing about Hunter's business deals.
You don't believe that, do you?
Well, I mean, it's impossible to believe it when you see the evidence, not just the evidence on the laptop, but there was evidence uncovered by the Republicans in Congress once they took power after the 2022 midterms and had subpoena power, and also from a lot of valiant whistleblowers.
From the IRS, there were two really brave and incredibly effective whistleblowers who were the lead investigators in a Hunter Biden investigation in Delaware.
And they could no longer live with their consciences about the obstruction from the Department of Justice and the prosecutors to let Hunter Biden and his father off the hook and to prevent any inquiry, them following the evidence trail, wherever it led to Joe Biden.
That was banned.
And then there were other whistleblowers, including Hunter Biden's two former best friends and business partners.
They were whistleblowers as well, and they testified.
And all the whistleblowers involved, named and unnamed, have really done heroic service for the American people because it was important, even though the Bidens may not be brought to account in a legal sense, it was important that the influence peddling that they engaged in during it was important that the influence peddling that they engaged in during Joe Biden's vice presidency, hauling in millions of dollars from China and Russia and Ukraine and so on, that that
But also the role of the deep state, because these same people who covered up for Joe Biden are now propping up Kamala Harris.
They are the puppeteers behind the scene.
The same people that ensured that Joe Biden did all the terrible things that made China stronger and America weaker that led to the war in Ukraine, those same people will be controlling Kamala Harris.
You know, here's what I don't understand.
You outline and you don't just say, I've heard this, this is anonymous source.
You go into great detail in the book and you provide deep, well-documented facts.
You just said something that disturbs me.
You said, they probably will never be held accountable.
And I wanna know why not?
Why won't they be held accountable?
It's not like the evidence hasn't been presented.
You've done it in this book.
James Comer, his committee, he has done a lot of this kind of work.
Why will nothing come to be from this?
Partly because Joe Biden has pardon power and even though he has said that he will not pardon his son Hunter, we know that he will.
Hunter was only ever convicted both in Delaware on gun felony charges and in California he pleaded guilty on tax fraud charges.
Only because of those IRS whistleblowers I mentioned.
Hunter was set to get this incredible plea deal.
Instead, after the whistleblowers came forward, he ended up being charged.
And convicted.
And so that should carry a pretty hefty jail term for both those cases.
But his father will let him off.
And the media will let Joe Biden off the hook too, because they'll say, look, he's a loving father and he's had so much tragedy in his life.
How can you blame him?
As for Joe Biden, we saw with the Robert Hur special counsel investigation into the mishandling alleged of classified material that even though the special counsel found that Joe Biden had a case to answer, that he decided not to charge him because he said that no jury would convict because Joe Biden at 81 with fading cognition was an elderly man with a fading memory.
And they would feel sorry for him.
Well, I feel sorry for the country right now because we've allowed this to keep going.
And you wonder, if you or I would be held accountable, why shouldn't anyone be held accountable?
But it certainly doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Miranda, I hope that the book...
And it already will be a huge bestseller.
It's called The Big Guy, How a President and His Son Sold Out America.
I hope you will get a copy and read it.
If you say, oh, that's just a bunch of talk, read the book and then say that.
I dare you because she outlines it and documents it.
It's not just allegations.
If you want to follow Miranda on social media and to get your own copy of the great book, The Big Guy, if you go to her guest page that we will link you to at huckabee.tv, We'll tell you exactly how to get the book.
That's Huckabee.tv.
And then go to her guest page.
Our own big guy, Keith Bilbrey, is stepping in to tell us what's cooking.
Keith, I know it's something.
Oh, I can smell it already.
Stacey Lynn Harris warms up your fall with a venison chili recipe that you'll want to try for yourself this weekend.
That's next on Huckabee.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy.
Well, speaking of happy, I want to say how happy I am to have the very best musical band in all of America.
Headlining this show, Trey Corley and the Music City Connection.
Let's give them a big old hand.
And I'll tell you something else I'm happy about.
I am happy to welcome Stacey Lynn Harris back to the show.
She is a speaker, host of The Sporting Chef.
She's a mother of seven children, a fellow hunter, and the author of great cookbooks like her latest, which I think is terrific, called Love, Language of the South.
She's also an attorney.
Add that to all the lists.
But today, to keep us warm in the winter, she's going to show us how she makes venison chili.
Please give a big welcome to Stacey Lynn Harris.
Welcome.
Good to have you back.
I'm so excited to be here.
So excited.
And I need to see what your secret is.
I've already tasted yours.
You haven't tasted mine, but you had the recipe.
Did you look it up when you were making your recipe?
I did not.
No, I did not cheat because I've been making mine the same way for probably 25, 30, maybe 40 years at least.
Did it work?
Well, yeah, it's working.
Okay.
Okay, it had turned off.
I was like, what's happening here?
Okay, so first I start with bacon.
Do you have bacon in yours?
No, I've never put bacon in chili, but I guess it would be great because bacon makes everything better.
It's really, really, really good.
Okay.
Yeah, and then it helps the meat to brown.
Okay.
So I've got a little bit of meat to show you, and I like two sizes of meat in my chili.
Okay.
So I cut it about a half of an inch.
Big.
And then I just put it down in there.
And I like to make sure that it's separated in here so that it will brown and not steam.
And so I just put that right down in there.
And let it go.
Okay, so I can't wait until you taste this chili and see what you think of the difference.
I know I like it.
There's no doubt about it.
Well, venison is great.
It was one of Roosevelt's favorite things, and he would not eat it without It's Teddy Roosevelt.
He would not eat it without venison in it.
He absolutely would not.
See, I love venison, and especially in chili because it's so lean, so healthy, totally organic.
There's no fat in venison.
So for those snobs who say, I don't even eat venison.
Oh, it is the best.
If you haven't had it, you're really, really, really missing out.
I agree.
So, yes.
Okay.
So we did venison steaks last time.
Did you ever go try that?
You know, I have made venison steaks.
I've tried a little bit of your recipe.
I usually chicken fry the venison steaks that I make.
Oh yeah, so delicious.
Go full southern on that, you know.
Yes, yes.
But you can change that into Bacata.
You can do all kinds of stuff.
It's all, it's really good.
So people who turn up their noses at venison.
I tell people I hunt, but I don't hunt for the wall.
I hunt for the freezer.
Yeah, absolutely.
So what all are you putting in the bowl here?
So this is onions and garlic and red peppers and, or jalapeno peppers.
I've got red and green because You know, Christmas is coming up.
Sure.
Got a little color in there.
Yep.
So I'm going to let that saute.
While that is sauteing, I'm going to put a little bit more oil in it because my heat is kind of high here.
I'm going to turn it down.
I want to tell you one of the secrets to this recipe.
So I am going to put tomatoes down in here.
And so these are just cut tomatoes with a little bit.
Fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes?
Fresh tomatoes are best, but you can use canned.
They have some really good canned tomatoes.
This is chipotle pepper.
Now, Scott, my husband, smokes these jalapeno peppers, and when you smoke them, it changes them to chipotle.
And I'm putting three big ones in here.
Keith can't even pronounce chipotle.
Yeah, and it's in adobo sauce.
I'm putting four because we want it extra spicy.
Okay, so, all right, here we go.
Here we go.
So, I don't like big chunks of tomatoes in mine, do you?
No, I like it more sauce.
So, me too.
So, this is part of the sauce.
And now, oh, I'm going to do that in a minute.
Okay.
So, now I'm going to pour in the meat.
So, can you get that one and pour in?
Yes, I can.
And this one will pour in.
And then, I noticed that your chili did not have beans, did it?
No self-respect in Arkansas boy would put beans in his chili.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
No.
They are delicious.
I think that they really make it.
It's a separate meal, Stacy Lynn.
No, well, no.
You want beans?
Eat beans.
You want chili?
Eat chili.
- Really, that's the way this works.
- Hardcore bean eater.
So yeah, so yeah, yeah.
You have to, you're gonna see.
You're gonna see.
- Okay. - I think I'm gonna change your mind. - I doubt it.
- Okay.
All right, so there's-- - I'm too old to be changing my mind now.
I don't think so.
I think we could change it.
I do put a little brown sugar in mine.
Do you have any in yours?
Do not use sugar.
Okay, so I've got cumin, and this is oregano, and it's dried, and then I had chili powder.
So I'm just gonna mix that in there really good.
Okay, and then I am going to pour in Tomatoes.
Yes, but it's not just tomatoes because those, I'm serious, those adobe chilies really make a difference.
And then to me, the different textures of the meat, they make a difference too.
Yeah, that's an interesting thing, the different texture of the meat.
Yeah, and I think it really gives a whole, you know, just that extra texture.
It just really, really, to me, spices things up, makes it better.
And then all of this gives it a depth of flavor.
Now I'm going to put in the broth.
And what kind of broth?
And this is beef broth.
Beef broth.
It's beef broth.
But you could make venison broth, but I've never really loved it.
I don't, the bones, like I don't really cook my venison with the bones in.
Do you?
No, I do not.
Now, the next interesting thing about this recipe, and I want you to try this.
Really, I do.
Oh, I'm going to.
Sure.
Okay, so I am going to ladle a little bit of this.
Okay.
Just the liquid.
And you'd wait until it starts boiling and it's not boiling, but I just, for the sake of time, I want to just show you.
Okay.
And I do this at the last minute before I serve it, but it's still good.
Now, what is in the bowl?
Okay, so this is cornmeal.
Okay.
So it's kind of like a prepared corn meal already.
Okay.
And so I just stir that in.
To thicken it up.
To thicken it up.
And then as it, you know, continues to cook on low for like four hours.
Well, this would only be in there for about 30 minutes.
It will, it'll thicken it up and it'll give it a really good earthy taste.
It's really, really, really delicious.
Okay.
So I want you to try All right.
This, we've already made up, you know, some that had been stewing, and I think it's all ready for you.
And let me see what you think.
It's very good.
Well, I appreciate that.
It's very good.
I thought yours was very, very good.
I actually thought it tasted to me a lot like mine.
And so, of course, I loved it.
And it was delicious.
So, yeah.
Other than you boogering it up with the beans, that's the only thing I just don't get.
Woo!
No, beans are awesome.
And I like to change up the beans too.
I like the beans to be like the kidney beans and then the small navy beans.
I like to really, you know, just really mix it up.
The texture's great when you mix it up like that.
I really like it.
And I tell you, I like the different kinds of meat.
That's something I haven't done before.
Hey, visit huckabee.tv as I have a mouth full of chili.
You can get links to Stacey Lynn Harris's website and her great cookbook called Love Language of the South.
You can also find her recipe for venison chili there as well.
Up next, a surprise.
A panel of VIP chili tasters will decide who makes the best bowl of venison chili.
Stacey Lynn, or me?
And Keith, no chili for you until you tell our viewers what else is ahead.
Well, that's right.
And it is going down.
See whose venison chili comes out as a champ in the very first Huckabee Chili Cook-Off.
Plus another hilarious installment of Law or No is on the way next, right here on Huckabee.
Join Huckabee next week for magician Dustin Tavella's incredible testimony of adoption.
Plus music from the Glenn Miller Orchestra featuring Crystal Gale.
Well, welcome back to the show.
Now, I mentioned before the break that we were going to do a little friendly competition to see who has the best tasting venison chili.
It is time for us to put the skills to the test.
What's going on?
Well, well, well.
We're going to have a real competition and some judging.
We've got to make sure we have somebody here that's a little bit impartial.
Not the actual chef.
Well, how's everybody doing?
Wonderful.
Hungry.
Are you hungry?
Are you going to enjoy this a lot?
Now listen, we've got a lot of great chili here, and before you guys came out, we had some people in the audience, select members, sample it and cast their vote.
Aunt Bea and Claire had a bite too, and they cast their vote.
Pretty sure Trey Corley snuck in a little bit back there as well.
But these judges really here are going to be the tiebreaker, so this is a pretty big deal.
Oh, okay.
All right, before we start, do you have any final words?
I'll pay you afterwards, but I don't know which one is mine.
Hey, I've already been talking to you in the makeup room.
Will you still air our segments if we pick the other chilies?
Well, I'll have to take a look.
Well, you've got two bowls there.
One is labeled number one.
The other is labeled number two.
Very cleverly how we did that.
That's really creative.
So let's taste bowl number one.
What if they spew it or something?
That would really hurt.
This is my dream job, by the way.
Yes.
What are you thinking there, Danny?
Well, I think so far the color of this one is better than this one.
You're tasting the color of the chili?
These musicians are a whole different breed, let me tell you.
Very creative.
What do you think, Miranda?
What's it tasting like to you, bowl number one?
Absolutely delicious.
All right.
It's very, very rich and gamey.
All right.
So don't fill up on bowl number one.
I didn't have dinner, though, so I kind of kept it up.
Now we're going to move over to bowl number two.
Now we don't have a fancy sorbet or a palate cleanser, so just go...
There you go, you can see a little bit of water right there.
Just go full Barney on it.
That's right.
All right, let's move on down to the oval bowl, bowl number two.
We'll see how this one tastes.
It looks a little thicker to me.
They were kind of digging in there to get to it.
Wow, they're not talking.
That's a good sign.
They're chewing it.
What do you think there, Danny?
They're not hurling and that's a real good sign.
What do I think?
They're both really delicious.
But one, as a kid who grew up in the Midwest, my wife didn't grow up on chili, I did.
As a kid who grew up on chili, I have my favorite because one makes me reminisce about the chili I grew up on.
All right, we're going square bowl number one.
All right, that's Danny's vote.
Lay it set.
Do you agree with this fella?
I really appreciate the uniqueness of the brown one and it had different textures, which I love, but...
Uh-oh.
I have to go with number one.
Oh, wow.
You never agree with me on anything.
I was actually going to tell you that we're picking number one.
Right.
Glad I got it right.
You agree on that.
A couple agreeing on dinner.
That never happens.
Never.
Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
Where do you want to go?
She always decides.
I mean, did I say that out loud?
Very good.
Well, it looks like we've got a leader there.
Miranda, do you disagree or do you...
I'm the tiebreaker.
Look, I hate to be boring, but I agree that, number one, I think they're both delicious, but there's something about number one that's unique and rich.
The sauce is rich, and I don't eat much venison, but it tastes different.
It tastes like, I guess, how venison should taste, maybe?
Oh, well...
LAUGHTER Well, it sounds like bowl number one is going to be our judges across the board sweep.
We'll find out from our backstage judge.
They've got the tabulations going on right now.
They're going to bring me out the final envelope with the actual winner's name.
And we'll find out whose bowl was bowl number one and who gets the first annual Huckabee Chili Cook-Off Trophy.
Look at that.
That is nice.
I want that trophy now.
Audience, how about a drum roll out there?
Give me a little drum roll.
Oh, it's so good.
The winner of the first annual Cupcake Chili Cook-Off is Governor Mike Huckerman!
- Wow! - Wow! - Wow!
You know, all these people are going to get a special bonus who judge this contest.
Wow.
I'm finding you.
I'm coming for you.
But you know what?
Everyone on the table, they liked yours.
No, it was great.
They're both just so yummy.
I think it's the common.
Do you ever want to be invited back?
Okay, that's the question.
That's right, that's right, that's right.
Well, it did go down to the wire, and I guess we'll have to have a rematch sometime.
We will.
Let's have a rematch.
I think so.
Rematch.
Let's do it.
Rematch, yeah.
Okay, okay.
Let's have a deep fried turkey rematch around Thanksgiving.
Okay.
I'm on.
Yeah.
I'll come back and judge that.
Well, since I'm already up here, you know what?
We have a favorite game show that we do here on the show called Law or Nah, where I read a statement and you decide if it's actually a true law or if we just made it up and nah, it's not really a law.
The audience has some paddles too.
Everybody hold up your paddle.
Let's see them out there.
We got nah's red, green is yep.
Let's see if we can kind of get on the same page here.
All right.
Let's see.
Number one.
In Vermont, is it illegal for women to wear fake teeth without their husband's approval?
Law or not?
Oh, I see a lot of no's.
I see a no across the board.
It's a law.
It really is.
This is a law.
In Vermont, it is mandatory for women to obtain written permission from their husbands if they wish to get false teeth.
And as a side note, if you're a husband and you think you can tell your wife to do anything, you're going to get your teeth knocked out.
Facts.
That is full facts.
Next up.
Governor, you want to lean in on this one?
I don't know.
In Arkansas, is it illegal to mispronounce the name of the state?
Is this a law or no?
It should be a law.
I see a lot of no's.
It looks like it's predominantly no.
It's actually a law!
No way!
No way!
Illegal?
Illegal!
I should have changed that when I was in office.
That's good.
It is illegal to mispronounce the state's name.
The correct pronunciation is Arkansas, not Arkansas or Arkansas or Arcan-anything.
It's Arkansas.
But as the governor truly knows, the correct pronunciation is heaven.
It's the only state that was mentioned in the Bible.
Noah looked out the Arkansas.
That's good.
That's good.
You were about to correct it.
That was great.
That's really good there.
In Massachusetts, snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.
Is this law or not?
Law, law, law.
I see a lot of ladies elbowing their husbands out there on this one.
This is a law.
There you go.
Now we're talking down.
It sounds like Massachusetts, for sure.
It is illegal to snore in Massachusetts unless you have your windows shut and locked up tight.
Just remember the handy rhyme.
If your nose is making noise at night, shut up them windows tight.
Right?
Very true.
Very, very true.
All right.
Next up, in Tennessee, is it illegal to drive barefoot?
Is this the law or not?
For sure.
It's gotta be.
Oh, looks like a lot of people think this is a law.
Almost 90%.
Guess what?
No, it's not a law.
Yeah, there you go.
Are you kidding in Tennessee?
Some people don't even have shoes.
How are they going to drive?
Come on.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not against the law in any state.
Now, Democrats are sometimes known to split the difference between shoes and no shoes.
They call it flip-flopping.
Okay.
Good one, Barney.
All right, folks, you did a good job on law and all.
Governor, I'm going to throw things back to you, and congratulations again on winning a trophy.
There you go.
Rick Roberts, everyone, would you give Rick a big hand?
What a fabulous job betraying America's favorite deputy, Barney Clive.
