In a recent interview on Fox Business’s Varney & Co., former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee joined host Stuart Varney in raising concerns about the leadership of the United States. The discussion centered on whether President Joe Biden is truly in charge or if there might be a “shadow” figure or group operating behind the scenes.
Concerns About Biden’s Health and Capability
The conversation began with Varney referencing a recent church appearance where President Biden seemed “frail, tired, and confused.” Varney noted that Biden’s son, Hunter, appeared to assist his father throughout the service, raising doubts about Biden’s physical and mental fitness. Varney directly asked Huckabee, “Is our President, Joe Biden, capable of running the country?”
Huckabee’s Blunt Assessment
Huckabee responded by expressing his doubts, stating, “I think every indication is he’s not capable of running the country.” He further speculated on the possibility of someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes, suggesting the existence of a “shadow behind the curtain” that might be making key decisions.
Critique of Democratic Optimism
Huckabee also took the opportunity to critique what he perceives as misplaced optimism within the Democratic Party, particularly pointing to Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent messaging. He likened the situation to a story of a man falling from a 78-story building who optimistically remarks, “So far, so good,” as he passes the 36th floor. Huckabee questioned what exactly the Democrats are optimistic about, given the economic and political challenges facing the country.
Media Accountability and Harris’s Upcoming Interview
The discussion then shifted to Harris’s upcoming formal interview, with Varney expressing skepticism about whether it would be a “legitimate interview” that addresses substantial policy questions. Huckabee echoed these concerns, joking that if the questions are as soft as “What’s your favorite color?” or “Who was the greatest rock band?” the interview would fail to hold Harris accountable.
Public Perception of Leadership
Both Varney and Huckabee agreed that if the media does not press Harris on her policies and their implications, the public would likely see through the facade. This, they argued, would further erode trust in the administration’s leadership and contribute to the growing sense of discontent among voters.
Huckabee’s Movie and the Role of Christians in Politics
Towards the end of the segment, Varney highlighted Huckabee’s role in the upcoming movie “God Is Not Dead: In God We Trust,” set to release on September 12th. Huckabee used this opportunity to emphasize the importance of Christian involvement in politics, particularly in voting. He pointed out that “40 million Christian people in this country don’t vote,” suggesting that their participation could significantly impact election outcomes.
The Importance of Political Engagement
Huckabee’s message was clear: Christians should not shy away from political participation, as their involvement could lead to significant changes in the direction of the country. He emphasized that even small actions, like voting, can have a profound impact on the political landscape.
“Looked Frail Ever Since He Took Office”
People in the comments shared their thoughts: “To be honest, Biden has looked frail, tired and confused ever since he took office.”
Another person said: “Who’s behind it? Who was a community organizer that had ties to the most prominent activist groups of today?”
One person added: “Does anyone else see this ? Historically when a President is finished with his time in office he usually becomes an Ambassador for The US in another country or he enjoys his retirement . BUT The Clintons and Obamas never did they just stayed in DC and are highly involved in what goes on at The White House .”
Growing Discontent with Leadership
Huckabee’s interview underscores a broader sentiment of discontent and concern about the current leadership in the United States. His remarks reflect a growing anxiety among some Americans who feel that the country is not being effectively managed. The suggestion that a “shadow” might be running the country only adds to the sense of unease and distrust in the political process.

What do you think? Do you think concerns about President Biden’s leadership are justified, or are they politically motivated? What impact do you believe increased Christian participation in voting could have on future elections? How much influence do you think media coverage has on public perception of political leaders?
