democrats who don't want to vote for a monstrously expensive stimulus, what are we up to? stimulus three or four? now what they will do is break apart the jobs bill to different pieces. harry reid said he will go forward to try to introduce more stimulus for teachers, for infrastructure, for first responders. isn't that what the first $1 trillion was supposed to do? >> eric: i'm sure that was in there. spending 6% on infrastructure. can we point something out. 1,000 days in office. president obama, 1,000 days. 250 points down in the market today to celebrate the thousands in the office. $4 trillion in debt added under the term. he averaged 9.4% unemployed since he began. 3 million people are now in poverty that weren't when he began his term. 12 million more on food stamps since he took over. gasoline doubled in the last one. 2.4 million homes -- >> bob: you didn't mention -- >> eric: in the last 1,000 days. tour the country in a

canadian-built bus. >> bob: the market went up to the biggest week spurt in two years last week. you didn't mention. that you said before the show, i didn't mention it because i didn't think bob was paying attention. moody's came out with estimate of obama jobs plan they now have before the congress and trying to get before the congress. that jobs line would increase jobs by 1.9 million jobs. >> eric: you know who made that assessment? mark xandy from moody's -- this is important. when the aides, they asked him what he thought of the first stimulus plan, $800 billion stimulus plan he says that's right. i agree with christina romer, unemployment won't go above 8%. >> bob: defending moody's. >> eric: this guy is on board it's unbelievable. >> bob: 1.9 million jobs republicans are leaving on the table because they don't want jobs to be had in this country. >> monica: when you look at the historical evidence, every major recession the united states experienced since
11:06 pm
1920-1921 through this one, every time we approached it, sound money. stable dollar. lowering the marginal tax rates across the board is how you get out of the recession. this administration has done the exact opposite. massive infusion of government spending that has not worked except to put up the debt. >> bob: if you automatically have 5% unemployment. dropped to 4%. you had a secret ballot, do you think the republicans would vote for it? >> monica: yes. >> eric: they got a 10% -- >> kimberly: go ahead. >> greg: what you actually need to question the patriotism of republicans you are saying they would rather see a country in peril than their own personal political success. >> bob: i think they would rather see people out of work. >> greg: you're saying they'd rath ver a crappy country than -- >> bob: on capitol hill, i believe that's true. >> greg: you're wrong. >> kimberly: eric cantor was on "fox news sunday." let's listen to what he had to say. >> bob: c'mon, mickey. >> we put forward a plan in
11:07 pm
the beginning of the year, our budget. we had independent congressional budget office scoring which did several things. i talked about the fact that our plan actually dealt with the one crisis bringing down the debt and deficit over $6 trillion. it did talk about the ability for our plan to grow new jobs. yes. so we have that analysis. >> you don't on the jobs plan. >> but well, what this jobs plan is taking pieces of our overall vision for the country and saying you know what? we have to provide incentive for the private sector to grow. >> kimberly: so he loves this guy. this is his favorite. >> bob: mickey cantor. he was asked a direct question. how many jobs is your republican plan going to increase? he couldn't answer it because we know it wouldn't increase any. he stumbled and mumbled. mickey, go back. you're way off. >> eric: he was right if you take the sound clip further he said obama should get off the fund raising campaign trail and get back to the oval office and try to create a job

or two. the term has changed from created to now supported. what does job supported mean? >> eric: he wants 1.9 -- >> bob: he wants 1.9 million jobs. they don't want to vote for it because they don't want unemployment to come down. >> kimberly: pew polls have numbers out here. all right. take a look here at the top of this. president obama 52%. this is an issue about whether or not confidence in doing the right thing with the budget deficit. congressional democrats feel that 43%. those are bob's folk. congressional g.o.p. are 35%. >> bob: that says it all! that says it all. >> eric: what said it all is pew at the bottom. a left-leaning -- >> bob: get out of here. one of the most trusted polling firms in the country. don't say that. you don't know what you are
11:09 pm
talking about. they have more confidence in the obama than republicans for good reason. republicans have no interest in getting people back to work. >> kimberly: why would you say that? >> bob: i think they want to beat obama so badly, low unemployment. >> greg: let me count they're, you would be angry if a republican said democrats wanted to lose the iraq war, that way bush, that way obama would win. that would offend you. right? >> bob: it would offend me. >> greg: same thing. >> bob: i'm here to offend you. >> greg: you haven't offended me yet. >> kimberly: try harder. >> bob: republicans on capitol hill. not all republicans across the country. >> monica: the bigger point is the republicans only control one side of the congress, right? the only way you get job creation going in the country is uprooting every single thing that the democrats have done since day one from obamacare to the massive spending to record-breaking deficit and debt to all of the epa and nlrb. >> kimberly: when is that going to happen? 2012, both houses. wait for it. >> bob: that is why republicans don't want

make outgoing. you can receive incoming call. that is very unusual. there is a theory now she perhaps alluded to this, she was intoxicated because it sets up the possibility that someone else could have done it and it shifts the focus from her as a main suspect on it. >> monica: bob, megyn asked her if she thought she had a drinking problem and dismissed it out of hand. you are a recovering alcoholic. what does the exchange tell you about the mother? >> bob: most people who drink do not black out. if she says you black out, alcoholics black out. i have many times myself when i was drinking. it's a very advanced stage of drinking when you have a black-out like that. i don't know whether she knew what she was talking about but there were indications from the neighbor she is did drink a lot. i no ethat greg likes that box wine yourself. >> greg: i do. >> bob: it occurs to me just looking at her and listening to her, having worked with a

>> kimberly: welcome back to "the five." battle is brewing in florida over your right to flash your car headlights in 2009, florida man was pull over and ticketed by the highway patrol for flashing his lights. that man filed a class action lawsuit saying the first amendment rights were violated because blinking your high beams is a form of free speech. no, i am not making this up. this is a real story. >> bob: this is right. the cops that pull you over if you flash your lights, too bad. if there is a speed trap and let someone know about it, fine. they're flashing a light to say there were deer on the road. how do the cops know that? the cops have too much power. >> greg: this is not freedom of speech. this is activity and action. i hate when they take freedom of speech and cover everything with it. >> bob: suggesting the cops should do that? >> greg: yes.
11:58 pm
>> bob: fascist you. >> greg: of course i am. >> monica: the police say it interferes with law enforcement. because they are there trying to catch speeders and other law-breakers but who among us have not done it or benefited from it. >> greg: i don't have a car and i walk up and do it. >> eric: i live in jersey. there is a huge deer population between here and there. at night, dusk especially. if there is deer in the road i swear to god on my life there is a lot of deer. there are. you have no idea how many people are hurt and injured and killed because of the deer. to make a long story short, if you drive on a highway and there are deer and you see them you let people in oncoming traffic know. now people are getting pulled over it. i can't stand speeders more than that. >> greg: unless you see an obama sticker then you don't flash, right, eric? >> kimberly: gang members flashlights. whatever. it's complicated. i don't approve of the ground saying that it violates their first amendment rights.
