the mau mau revolution, seriously? >> i don't understand kenya because he's talking about the british imperialists and all the rest. he made a terrible gaffe. >> is that a gaffe? >> he double downed the next day. >> i don't know that it's a gaffe. >> it's bad advise. >> he said look at my book. we're talking about the mau mau revolution. >> i think it was a tactic. i don't think it was misspeaking. >> nobody does something deliberately that makes them look terrible for a whole week. >> he's play together base. still ahead this hour, dr. zbigniew brzezinski and david ignatius. we'll check in with savannah guthrie at the white house as well. you're watching "morning joe," brewed by starbucks. so i feel better by the time we tee off. zyrtec® liquid gels work fast, so i can love the air®.
your opinion? >> i think mike huckabee could win the nomination. he had an interesting week. i would say a disappointing week last week. confusing indonesia and kenya. talking about the mau mau revolution when he should be talking about jobs. this is say man who could get elected president but he can't raise money. so i think right now he's more focused on selling books. >> joe scarborough, always nice to have you here. thanks very much. are we simulcasting right now? >> that's big. i think you'll see a big bump in your ratings, matt. i think this will be very good for you and the "today" show. >> thank you for taking time. >> you keep it up, you have a future. >> thank you. >> all right. >> let me ask you, pat, is he -- is mike huckabee more interested in selling books or more interested in getting elected president? >> look, he has that bug. he won iowa last time and he got more delegates even than romney did. he -- >> what happened last week in
think mitt romney is not declaring. would you want to be in a debate this week if you are mitt romney or even tim pawlenty and be asked about what huckabee said? your choices either to push him away and alienate those voters or to not answer the question. >> the one -- we will get to the politico analysis of this guy. he's throwing out this swil now. so he can quit the race and stay on television and make money and then wait until the next summer of 2012, picked up as a running mate by somebody that will be more sane like mitt romney. that's the game he is playing. he knows we will get mad at him and say terrible things. he will sort of deny he said it but playing this game to the sick wind of that party. mark mckennan speaking on "the daily beast." i doubt most americans have a clue about the mau mau revolution, including me. but i'm pretty sure for most folks it sounds like something anti-christian or at the very least un-american.
and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock. >> yeah, right. this afternoon huck backtracked in a statement calling natalie a great actress and deserves her oscar and said had's happy she is marrying the baby's father. comment thing week on all matters from the mau mau revolution to unmarried mothers who win oscars. next, i always said the hitler references have no place in politics. lose them. that goes for both republicans and democrats. it seems to keep on happening. here is ohio democratic senator brown on the senate floor this week. >> as a nation, you know, i look back at history and some of the worst governments we ever had, one of the first things they did, went after the trade unions. hitler didn't want unions. mubarak didn't want independent unions. these autocrats in history don't want independent unions. i'm not comparing what's happening to the workers in madison or in columbus to hitler and stalin but i am saying the history teaches us that unions
he's outside the usual american story. it's not eastern europe, it's from arkansas -- africa, but he grew up in america. what we're hearing from mau mau, what we're hearing with madrassas, not only is he foreign, it's not an exotic foreign, it's a different foreign. the skepticism about him as an african, african-american is at stake. and what mr. huckabee is trying to do is engage in code words, the morse coding of obama as that other black man who is so dissimilar to us, so radically outside the arc of our humanity that we cannot understand him. now he has to be racialized as the great other that makes the american people afraid of him. and i think that is racist politics at its worst. >> i don't know about you, but i
putting out that fed this malarkey he's been giving out this week about obama. what if obama is so outside our comprehension that only if you understand kenyan, anti-colonial behavior can you begin to piece together his actions. that is the most accurate predictive model for his behavior. this is a person who's fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to played a wonderful con, as a result of which he's now president. here's mr. con, referring to a con on the part of our president who's been clean as a whistle his whole career and life, accusing the president of some sort of corruptive way of selling his anti-colonial -- i guess he forgot the phrase mau mau, which this other guy uses, congressman. where does he get this newt stuff from? where does he get this? what trough does he get it out of? >> i don't know.
country to the best of their ability, you don't go back into their roots to find something bad back there you can use against them. mau mau, madrassa, i know what it's saying, you tell me what you think. >> not only do you not go to their roots to try to disprove their american identity, you do it to embrace the fact that we can come from europe, we can come from italy, we can come from wherever in western or eastern european countries, polish, jewish, italian, lithuanian, and celebrate that we can come to america and come under the call to democracy on american soil, and wherever we began with our humble roots we can rise to the top. not only are we with obama should we be celebrating him, his immigration story, his father of kenyan descent, his mother of white kansas descent.
quoting a british newspaper who really were expressing the outrage of the brits for that bust being returned, and they felt like that due to obama's father and grandfather, it could be his view of the mau mau revolution was very different than people who grew up in the united states. and i have said many times publicly that i do think he has a different world view and i think it's in part molded it of a very different experience. most of us grew up going to boy scout meetings and our communities were filled with rotary clubs not madras's. >> just to correct the record one millionth time more from mike huckabee. obama did grow up in the united states. eric it seems to me that this fellow just won't quit. and i want you to go through the record of the last four days, it's now thursday, why does he keep doing it? why does he keep trying to write this guy out of our country? >> yeah, he just keeps digging. he starts monday with this radio interview. he's out pushing a book, maybe he's trying to make headlines, but it's interesting when these
can rise to the top. not only are we with obama should we be celebrating him, his immigration story, his father of kenyan descent, his mother of white kansas descent. he's outside the usual american story. it's not eastern europe, it's from arkansas -- africa, but he grew up in america. what we're hearing from mau mau, what we're hearing with madrassas, not only is he foreign, it's not an exotic foreign, it's a different foreign. the skepticism about him as an african, african-american is at stake. and what mr. huckabee is trying to do is engage in code words, the morse coding of obama as that other black man who is so dissimilar to us, so radically outside the arc of our humanity
