>> greg: welcome back. i tried to watch the mtv move re awards but something stopped me. oh, yeah, i threw up. if mtv were the person it would be a divorced dad getting an earring trying to hit on his teenage daughter's friend. it's the old school trying to be cool. i admire however how the aging in-crowd sticks together even as they fall apart. take the ads that aired in the awards with the annoying lady with three names. she avenues off dinner with herself, the president and his wife. >> okay. the guy who entered the war in iraq and the guy who said you should be able to marry anyone you want and the guy who created 4 million new jobs, that guy, president obama and michelle are coming to my house for dinner on june 14. so go right here. right now. because we need him. he needs us. >> greg: we need him and he needs us. who is "we"? codependence of cool. both sides cling to each other

while everyone else jumps ship. celebs desperate to be seen as smart, not shallow, thrown obama as the p.c. life raft. saying vote obama beats thinking it's the best thing to happen since no-talent since breast implants, which is why hollywood is his volunteer army and personal atm machine. while the president and the cult are the best star pairing since thelma and louise, and you know how that ended. if you went to her at the face of the campaign, your face -- your cam pape may need a facelift -- campaign may need a facelift. >> we have our own reasons to support president obama. we want to hear yours. so join us, but don't be late. >> greg: i love mick jagger's new wig. do you want advice from a person's whose mink coat owns a mink coat? celebrities think you're stupid. agreeing with them proves it. >> bob: that was one of your

better monologues. do you remember what you said? >> greg: absolutely not. i wrote it this morning in a haze. >> bob: do you know what the segment is about? >> greg: i do. i want to ask andrea this. sarah talked about a women, mother and entrepreneur, she needs the country to be a place where everyone has a fair shot. didn't her success start under ronald reagan in the '80s with square pegs? under reagan and bush? and "sex in the city" came in bush. >> andrea: that is true. actually very true. >> greg: i don't know why i know that. >> bob: why does it matter? >> andrea: her character, her character in "sex in the city" is the character they want all of the young girls watching the awards to identify with. this was a character, kerry bradshaw not real, never took a government check. she wasn't on subsidy. no julia. this is for dual purposes. youth vote. the woman vote. they are having big trouble with the woman's vote. you know what the kerry campaign did this exact thing in 2004. they rolled out sarah jessica

parker. i can't believe any woman would vote for president george w. bush. look who won? sjp does not speak for me. >> bob: she doesn't. >> greg: you own all the dvds of "sex in the city." >> kimberly: he cries during that. >> bob: the idea of putting on a british person to ask for -- because we whooped them once. in 1812 we whooped them a second time. >> greg: he is right. the problem with the economy, everybody is hurting. elitist remote woman who looks down on everything. >> bob: i love being on with you right now. >> eric: the show, michelle obama is e-mailing me. >> kimberly: you scared her at the white house dinner. >> eric: we want you and come to sarah jessica parker's

house. can i just -- >> kimberly: sjp is a nice lady and very generous. >> eric: but she's not politically astute. she had a chance to take a shot at sarah palin once and she said it's not right. may or may not like her for a politician but don't take a shot at her. i like sarah jessica parker. she can support obama, who cares. >> kimberly: my nanny works for her sometimes. >> greg: well, in that case. i change my whole opinion if your nanny works for her. what is wrong with you? >> kimberly: a nice lady. >> greg: with the left, fairness replaces freedom. it should be about freedom, not fairness. >> bob: in that segment we didn't talk about mittty. who is favoring mitt? >> greg: who cares? >> bob: that is the point. that is the whole point.

>> kimberly: sorry -- >> the 18-year-olds watching the awards or 15-year-old or 14-year-old don't read "vogue" magazine. they can't afford one of the shoes. >> kimberly: greg bid on it. >> greg: imagine a more boring dinner? unless matthew broaderick was doing the dishes. >> bob: that is a bad shot. one thing obama is not boring. >> greg: i'm talking about anna wintore. >> bob: you wouldn't understand it. you're supposed to tease. that means get out. ready? >> greg: other people in america can't hear what is in your ear. so if you say we have to tease, they don't know what you're talking about. >> bob: to you, it's time to get out. >> kimberly: what do you want me to do? >> greg: i was gone for a week. it didn't hear him for a week. >> kimberly: take more medication. >> greg: coming up, a big showdown tomorrow in wisconsin. union and taxpayers. if you leave now, i won't show

♪ >> kimberly: getting down with bob beckel. that's how we do it around here. the stakes are high. freddie speak for yourself. >> kimberly: the recall election tomorrow is hailed as the first big test if taxpayers can control entitlement and special interest. governor scott walker challenged by democratic milwaukee mayor tom barrett. last year, governor walker passed a bill stripping public sector union of the collective bargaining power.

triggering a national outcry from labor that massive organized protest over the last year. it almost made it through that, bob. >> eric: great job. >> kimberly: you can see him next to me. freddie you have a contact high from me. >> kimberly: he is so happy you're back. euphoria. >> bob: i was happy he's back until he said he wasn't happy to see me. >> kimberly: i did it. you're crying. >> bob: i'll get back to it. >> kimberly: brother eric. >> eric: the real numbers out there before bob makes up a funny -- the fuzzy math numbers. the numbers. governor scott walker took over the wisconsin economy, $3.6 billion in the hole. he has closed the gap completely. he is leaving over $1 billion now. unemployment went from 7.6% to 6.6%. most importantly how did they do that? they did it by closing the union ranks. the union members took over,

68,000 to 28,000. 54% drop in union numbers so they can renegotiate contract and save the state money. >> bob: 33,000 jobs were created under the governor out there. whenever other state has had more than that. the reason that unemployment is down, they have triggers thanks to bob in the 1920s. it allowed the wisconsin people out of work for a certain period of time to employ by the state. >> andrea: but because of walker's leadership, union roles are down. one thing he did is give wisconsin voters a choice. do you want to join a union or don't you? they chose not to join the union. that is absolutely true. >> bob: stripped them of collective bargaining. >> kimberly: they want the money. >> andrea: all he asked them to do is pay 12% of the health insurance premium and put up

5.8% of the paycheck for the pension. that is so far down from private employers are asking employees to do. it's so fair. unemployment is down. he may come out of here a winner. the lesson is can you cross the unions? >> bob: he will probably win the race regrettably because of the right wing republican money pouring in. >> kimberly: how are you feeling? better. great. lay it on us. >> greg: the big lesson here is if walker wins the private person doesn't have the luxury to campaign politically for their survival every day. a private person goes to work and doesn't think about politics. when you're in the union, your survival is paramount. you're a gold medal fighter fighting for your own survival. that person lose against a private individual, a huge story. a big deal. >> eric: you say he is probably going to win the race. this is not a race.

this is a recall. let's recall governor walker and they'll lose miserably. while they do lose miserably, it will send signal to other democrats out there. >> bob: let me get serious here for a second about the governor friend of yours. the guy stripped people of the rights, constitutional rights to balance collectively against their employers. are you proud of that? the union. only #% of the country is union. the fact is every state -- >> greg: public unions having collective bargaining. >> bob: the point is someone signed a contract. it ought to be binding. he is broke. and -- >> eric: wisconsin is broke? holy cow! >> kimberly: can we -- >> bob: i'm not happy because this guy is a union buster. >> andrea: contract is down unless they try to bump up

contract at wall street. >> greg: collective bargai bargaining in the public sec store a kid playing santa claus. you always get what you want. the only way to stop it. this guy has cuts. walker has cuts for standing up to him-guts to stand up for him. >> kimberly: they threatened him. >> bob: what a shame. >> kimberly: he was trying to do his job, responseability to the state, fiscally responsible and he's threatened to throw you out of office. he is ahead. >> bob: one of the greatest labor leaders, governor, senator and presidential candidate. wisconsin was the home of great labor lawles of the country. the right wing republican legislature cut out -- out -- >> kimberly: bob, this problem -- >> andrea: this is happening all over the country. this is bigger than wisconsin. so if the voters vote to defeat barrett and put walker back in -- >> bob: what about no public employees? how will that be? no public employees no,

teachers, no anything. they can pay the teachers based on merit. merit pay. >> kimberly: we talk about the evolution. >> greg: schools talk about the evolution. the labor union involved. the write tong wall -- >> eric: writing on wall is this 306789 years ago unions represented 22% of the country. now down to 11.5%. unions are a dinosaur, dying beast. let them go away. >> bob: then what are you worried about it for? >> andrea: they're bankrupting us. >> bob: they're bankrupting us? george bush tax cuts didn't bankrupt us. >> kimberly: something positive. they did do a lot in tomorrows of organizing the workforce and getting benefits for employees but there comes a time when the pendulum swings and we need to focus on fiscal responsen't and putting money in hands of the hardworking people. >> bob: then let bush tax cuts expire.

coming up, you hear a lot of stories in the media about the kids bullying classmates. >> kimberly: when we come back, we show you a heart warming video of great school kids that rally around one of the classmates with cerebral palsy. don't miss it. bob will be in a better mood. >> bob: i'm in a great move! ♪ ♪

madison, wisconsin, starts at 6:00 eastern. i know beak to new york and my colleagues with "the five." ♪ ♪ >> andrea: welcome back to "the five." you have probably seen stories about bullying in the media lately. some people are frustrated with the loss of enforcement

for anti-bullying laws and they take it in their own hands. one florida mom was arrested after allegedly choking a 14-year-old boy she thought was bullying her daughter on facebook. listen to her describe what led to the situation. >> she was so upset about it. she wanted to hurt herself. >> what was the worst thing about it? >> what they were saying about me. >> they have all the anti-bullying laws when it comes down to it, it falls on deaf ears. >> andrea: remember this story? high school girl was punished for trying to defend a child with special needs. being bullied on her skul her sl bus. >> told she could fit in certain spot. giving her food they stuck in their mouth. i stuck up for somebody. wife would you get in trouble -- why would you get in trouble for doing that? >> kimberly: i can't take this. >> andrea: there was a story a couple of years ago that the parent was sick and tired of

the kid being bullied he got on the bus and threatened kids. there were legal repercussions. what is a parent supposed to do? i'd probably do the same thing. >> kimberly: i would as well. i can't stand that behavior. you wonder what is going on if the home and what that they teaching in the classroom. there has to be accountability. this is multiple times this has happened. nothing done. it falls on deaf ears. the schools don't want to get involved. >> bob: there is a way -- >> kimberly: file a lawsuit. >> bob: i had this happen with my daughter. it dealt with it appropriately. i didn't choke the guy that did it. i kicked the hell out of his old man. >> eric: that is appropriate. >> bob: it is. [ laughter ] the problem here is that we do not enforce bullying laws. because the schools are too -- let me say this -- politically correct with this stuff. fact of the matter is bullies have no rights. if they want to bully people, guts to come up and bully me for example. it'd be more than happy to put up with you. then kick -- anyway.

>> eric: you are a bully at the table. >> bob: i'm the one bullied at this table! >> eric: you are right. >> bob: i'm bullied here all the time. >> eric: this is a tough one. i feel the same way every parent feels the same way, you want to go and choke the kid that is doing it, or the father of the kid that is doing it. i look at my son. it drive him to school. some one will cut me off and i have road rage for a second and i see him looking at me watching my reaction. i know he is learning. the mom that chokes a kid, though she wants to do it, it probably has a right to do it, whatever, the kid is learning that. the kid is going to grow up to be a bully. >> kimberly: i bet it stopped, though. >> andrea: wouldn't do it again. it had a special needs brother, so i was sensitive to special needs kids. but there are a lot of special needs kids that are i guess treated really well in schools and other ones that aren't. there doesn't seem to be a middle ground. isn't it parent's responsibility to say be nice to people, gay, straight, handicapped or not? >> greg: i'm worried about a lot of the schools because

it's so subjective. you know what i mean? nobody ever says they're a bully. we're a world of being bullie bullied. nobody says yes, i was a bully, i also got bullied. we choose not to remember the fact we bullied somebody when we were younger. generally, bullying has to do with one person bullies this person, this person bullies another person. that is the way it is. >> kimberly: do you think you were a bully? >> greg: definitely. when i was a kid, i bullied people. i was also bullied. it was part of in a way liking people. you bullied them sometimes because you liked them. >> bob: you were a bully? >> greg: yes. >> andrea: here is a positive story. video of young boy, special needs boy with cerebral palsy. she not being bullied. she cheered on by his classmates. he is cheered on in a race and it got a million hits on youtube. >> go. >> go, matty!

>> c'mon! ♪ ♪ [ cheering ] >> andrea: now that is how you treat your fellow classmates. that is 11-year-old matt woodrow of ohio. bob is tearing up. i know. >> bob: that is a wonderful thing to show. it also shows when you say what kids learn from watching their parents, the fact is that the damage is done to the kids by bullying. the reason i went after the kid's old man much more damage will be done than that to the kid if he allows him to be a bully himself. >> andrea: they have it hard enough already. the more you gang up on them, the kids have it harder than anybody. they go to school and they have more courage than any of them. all right. coming up, does the punishment if it the crime? schools are coming down hard on the high school students pranks and teachers who

underperform are getting off scot-free. is it time for schools to get priorities straight? we'll debate it next.

not the teachers? >> andrea: the teachers get in bigger trouble, they seem to have tenure and contracts that you talk about. >> bob: this is the measly little segment i get on the show. you interrupt me going to the next block. >> andrea: that is the not the next block. >> kimberly: there are no more blocks. >> bob: you want the say anything about this this? >> kimberly: yeah. i don't see anything wrong with sprinkles and sparkles apt having fun. i don't think it's that big of a deal. it's afteroverreaction. they're against dodgeball and tag and everything else. annoying. >> bob: the second segment of andrea's segment about the fairfax county teacher, the principal tried to drop her tenure. fairfax county is a huge county near my home. they had a proceeding in front of a judge that had many witnesses including the teac teacher herself trying to staveoff losing her tenure. tenure is a very, very complicated process. i also is getting to be more

and more on the target of the right wing. eric, you speak for them so much, why are they a target? >> eric: you need to borrow his back medication. >> kimberly: honestly. >> eric: the downfall of american school systems. we're actually sliding against every other developed nation in test scores, both math, reading, writing because of tenure. went to pay the teachers -- we don't promote teachers based on their ability to teach kids. we promote them and pay them on the amount of time they work. >> bob: i am for testing of teachers but i believe in tenure. you can't say the downfall of this is doing away with teachers. you are not paying anything. you're starving the schools and the budgets because republican takes money away. gregg is sip approximately simpn sense. if you get something you don't have to work for, you no longer work for it.
