2:01 pm
feelings. now, to parent my acting coach, what is the motivation? is it about decency? no. this is neverered outrage masquerading as concern. rush already apologized but that didn't matter because media matters really wants annihilation. after all, rush excels at exposing that. so they want a war, why won't the right give them one? why so timid all the time? if advertisers are bowing down to senior fellows, toiling away in soiled underpants shouldn't rush's listeners fight back? i'd also say make media matters' life miserable but they're already there. got to be rough when your mom asks david, why don't you get a job? david says i work at media matters. then mom quietly thinks, but worse, the sparrow's nest of chirping bird brainge, los angeles city council, passed a resolution to urge the press to curb racist, sexist slurs.
2:02 pm
say what they really want to been a in their parents. it's a pathetic bunch since the academy award. wake up, the national debate is steered by unelected group of operatives willing vetted by politicians supposed to raise the standard of living but focus on raising awareness. i'd start a campaign to get them fired but i have a life. last wednesday, rush was talking about the effort i guess to get the advertisers to drop out and go to stations, and i thought he nailed it. can we roll. >> it's an organized action by the left, attempting to terrorize individuals who own businesses, and operate radio stations. it's not angry consumers. these people couldn't have cared less what happened three weeks ago other than the opportunity it presents. they're not even really offended by what happens. this is just an opportunity to
2:03 pm
execute a plan they had in their drawer since 2009. >> greg: this is an interesting point. what he is saying and what is true about the fake outrage on the left, and the right, people complain don't actually consume the product. these are not listeners to the station. when they go to complain to the station, the station isn't losing any customers. it's just people pretending to be upset. >> eric: stay on media matters here. rush limbaugh is 100% right. this isn't about, i don't know, going out and making sure people say the right or wrong thing. i have to continue to read this. this is ridiculous what you are doing against a personality. you said in march 2011, the person running media matters all-out campaign, guerilla war warfare, a war on fox. now a war on rush limbaugh. you are under a 501c.
2:04 pm
where in the world does your 501c3 fit in that decision? you're guerilla warfare hack going after people you don't agree with ideologically. there is no room for that. >> kimberly: they will write you a love note later. look for it. >> greg: witch hunts happen on both sides, but the left is better to galvanize them. aren't we getting to a stage that outrage is heroin for boring people. they don't have a life so they go after you or go after me. >> bob: outrage is a disease that affects the far left and the far right, particularly the far right. i am not defending media matters here, because they shouldn't be doing. i agree with you. but remember, the advertisers dropped off of rush, dropped off before media matters got in this mix. the two radio stations dropped
2:05 pm
in before media matters got in. limbaugh's advertisers were upset. they're scared by it. media matters is not going to impact a lot of people. they think they are, but they are not. what happened to rush happened because his advertisers got worried about it. >> greg: i don't believe that anybody gets offended anymore. they just get scared. >> dana: they're annoyed. turn it off. i would say that there are most corporate p.r. shops sit nervously all the time and they don't want to offend anybody about anything. many of them, including sectors of the economy ask other people to make the arguments for them, they're afraid to stand up for themselves. there is a lot of disregard for some of america's ceos who will complain in back
2:06 pm
rooms about the current policy, but they don't have the guts to stand up and say it. they have a responsibility to the shareholders so i kind of understand it but i wish they had guts to stand up. there is an off button. you can turn it off. most of the people probably never listened and they don't know where to find rush limbaugh. $100,000 worth of advertising, they probably got more value out of the in-kind contribution of talking about it than they would have got from the ad. >> greg: fair point. let's stop talking about it. >> kimberly: i find it ironic because i thought liberals like bob beckel were the strongest advocates of first amendment, of free speech, but now people like the aclu, the exact group are trying to stifle free speech and the first amendment because they don't like the content. >> eric: occupy wall street and the groups, aren't they all about the freedom of speech, freedom of expression.
2:07 pm
>> greg: only if they agree. >> for media matters especially to get involved, forget it's $100,000 or $100 million, it doesn't matter. it's the stifling of free speech. but the other way around, on the right, people moving the occupiers out of suecaty park, it's stifling free speech. >> dana: remember when the anthony weiner thing happened? >> greg: how could i forget. >> dana: fodder for "red eye." g best time of my life. >> dana: it took two weeks for the democrats to say we think he should apologize and resign. it took a long time to get to the position, principally it should have been their decision right away. if an advertiser decides they don't want to advertise, so be it. >> kimberly: they need a controversy to stay afloat. there is reports of them losing funding, not having money -- they need a powerhouse so they are piggy backing off of rush.
2:08 pm
>> bob: not free speech and not just liberals in favor of free speech. across the political spectrum. the right has done their fair share and the organization done their share of lashing out against the left as well. this is the left and right. extreme groups. cite examples i was beat up for things i said by the far right. shocking ways. i won't get into them. >> eric: how did they beat you up? >> bob: they started a website -- >> eric: that's free speech. >> greg: i apologized for that, bob. >> eric: boycotting and turning people away and advertisers away is different from voicing a descending opinion. >> bob: a lot of people voicedy scending opinion. i'll give them credit for what rush said was wrong. i credit rush for apologizing. mitt romney afraid to go too close, with a milk toast answer.
2:09 pm
a lot of people are afraid of rush on the republican side so they don't speak up. the democrats are the same way, because that's where their money comes from. >> eric: greg defended bill maher ability to say -- he didn't agree with it but said he should have the right to say it. free speech. >> greg: last night on greta, bill maher wrote aith tha why would you wan an apologyfron it. if someone says something vile about sarah palin do you think the apology, suddenly he changes his mind and go you're wrong, i like sarah palin. i apologize. of course not. the apology is a lie. if you want that apology that is your weakness. say i don't care. >> bob: you know you need to apologize. rush knew he made a mistake. he made a business decision to apologize.
2:10 pm
that's legitimate. not going to say he thinks more of fluke as a result of that. you're right. i don't think the idea of the apology, it's a bad idea. >> greg: if you say something factually wrong, like you don't want to show you accidentally say something that might be a phrase from the old days you might have said by accident. apology. definitely. you shouldn't apologize for something you mean. >> bob: i never make factual errors. i back up everything i say. >> dana: it's funny that media matters has to give their -- i don't like title inflation. so they call the guys senior fellows. >> bob: what is title inflation? >> dana: you might be somebody who does "x" and used to be called production assistant and now you're called the vice president of whatever. >> greg: i am now promoting everybody here to senior
2:11 pm
senior fellow. >> dana: excellent! wow! >> greg: it's bipartisan. >> bob: would you like to merge your almanac to mine? >> greg: wonderful. >> eric: funny and wrong. >> dana: like reeses peanut butter cup. >> kimberly: i like those. >> dana: a star is born. >> greg: all right, kids. enough. how dare you. straight ahead on "the five five" -- >> you want to call it obamacare, that's okay, because i do care. that's why we passed it.

2:17 pm
>> dana: for former speaker pelosi to the current speaker boehner. >> there is only way to prove it is obamacare, fully repealing it. the american people still oppose the takeover of healthcare. there can be no letup until it's fully repealed. >> dana: people feel very strongly about the healthcare bill for a lot of different reasons. ross says all for different reasons, setting up on monday, kimberly going to you first. supreme court will hear the arguments. 5-1/2 hours which is unusual. it's 26 states and the national federation of independent business against the administration. who will be represented by the solicitor general. it's one specific issue, the individual mandate, which in the bill is the most controversial part. the question of whether or not the government can compel an individual to have to buy a product. how do you think this will go? >> kimberly: force you to buy a product. if you do not do so they will penalize you, fine you. where in the constitution does it say that is per missable? apparently nancy pelosi thinks we just, it's irrelevant
2:18 pm
because she has detaryed it's constitutional and says the courts decide is another matter. no. what the courts decide based on the constitution will be the law. my opinion is 5-4, this will get struck down in terms of the individual mandate. and for all of you catchers out there, tent pole collapse. >> dana: actually people are lining up outside the supreme court right now. p.r. effort underway on both sides. the supreme court is not supposed to be swayed by p.r. or passion on the law. you a different perspective and you think it will go a different way. >> bob: they said that the court has to decide on anti-injunction act. there has been nobody harmed by this. so is that something they should listen to or hear? >> kimberly: you're saying they are hearing this before the issue is right, that it has to be enacted and come to 2014 before the case can go before the supreme court. the fact they agreed to hear it and said listen, we're going to go based on this on
2:19 pm
the merit, on the structure of it, that argument i believe is going to fail. they will go forward to make a decision on the fact. >> bob: you're right the collapsing, mandate goes away. >> kimberly: it's the funding. >> bob: the insurance companies are not going to be behind this thing. look, the things that have gone in effect so far, nothing has gone in effect, maybe anticipation is causing some of the rates to go up. by and large, the insurance companies take advantage of this. it's true that people up to the age of 26 can stay on their parent's healthcare plan, which is a good thing. millions of them are doing it. and preexisting conditions are no longer outlawed by insurance companies. this is why you have the preexisting conditions like me. i don't get to have health insurance. >> dana: the republicans in the healthcare bill supported the provisions. >> bob: it doesn't work without a mandate. >> dana: they could pass it again. talk about the politics. >> eric: i love obamacare. >> dana: you do? >> eric: i am so thrilled. >> greg: you heart-heart it. >> eric: here is why.
2:20 pm
march of 2010, obamacare gets signed. a couple of months later, mid-term elections, 63 house seats turn republican net. six senate seat republican net. this one, very, very importantly. 680 state legislatures seat went republican. a record. on the heels of obamacare, you ignited the conservative base, tea party that was born on the heels of obamacare. so whatever happens the moment it s born. >> dana: get greg in here before we run out of time. last week, the congressional budget office came out and said the original scoring of the bill, we were wrong. it's not going to cause $7.6 billion it will be $1.4 trillion. is that noise now at this point? >> greg: it is noise. >> dana: people want it gone. >> greg: they want it gone. except for the people lining up outside the supreme court, i will be one of them, i want to get ruth bader ginsberg to
2:21 pm
sign my morning after pill. nancy pelosi compared the obama healthcare bill to declaration of independence. if that comparison were accurate, george washington would still be waiting for his wooden teeth. they would be rationing them. why do you step on my jokes? >> bob: sorry. i want to say another piece of news is mitt romney wrote an editorial today, i think it was today. >> dana: "usa today," that's right. >> bob: "usa today" which was the weakest weaniest little offense, attack on obamacare, attacking everything he agreed to in massachusetts. including the mandate. mitt, if you are going to try to run for massachusetts, it ain't going to do you any good. you are so wrong on this issue you can't use the morning after -- you are so pregnant on the issue, you can't use the morning after pill. >> dana: we'll talk about that up until the election. national health service in britain, they got a new program. it's about waiting time. waiting time between when you first see your doctor and get a referral, that lag time between that and when you see a specialist, guess what the goal is? 18 weeks.
2:22 pm
>> greg: but you know it gets shorter if you die before then. >> dana: leave it to greg gutfeld to leave me speechless. coming up, there is a muslim leader in saudi arabia who wants to destroy every church in the middle east. nobody is talking about this. but we're going to. next. ♪ ♪ everyone in america depends on the postal service. i get my cancer medications through the mail. now washington, they're looking at shutting down post offices coast to coast. closing plants is not the answer. they want to cut 100,000 jobs. it's gonna cost us more, and the service is gonna be less. we could lose clientele because of increased mailing times. the ripple effect is going to be devastating. congress created the problem. and if our legislators get on the ball, they can make the right decisions.

stuff? we want our churches and we don't want them burned. sorry. a tough letter to follow. eric? >> eric: thanks for letting me follow that. yeah, i agree with you. imagine the outcry by the modern muslims if we suggest they cut back on mosques. this is a free country. i get that there should be no reason we can't -- we, someone from the state department get over there and say listen, freedom of religion here, freedom of religion there. carve out space for us on your land, too. >> dana: from what i know, the king of saudi arabia does not agree. he has a real powerful struggle on his hands, because a lot of people in his family, to the right of him. this wasn't just some guy. he is actually in charge. he would expect and want, and wish that the state department would be able to say something stronger than we express concern. but we are deeply concern is

>> bob: oprah was, the assumption i think on her part she would move over to the totally new dial on the television and the cable channels and people would follow her over. she is popular but not that popular. the reality, the best she has done is hoping to average 400,000 in their demo, one they care about. it's less than that. they are losing money. her own show on that network is not doing well. the other thing is the content of the oprah show tend to be uplifting, dr. phil. when she got new age, and i thought -- i don't watch her much but they try to pull her back from that. with the jersey shore exciting for people, oprah kind of shows, i'm not so sure oprah notwithstanding they will make it in the marketplace. >> kimberly: it's not looking good. when she endorsed obama for
