fired up. what do you make of that? >> andrea: it's funny. i said you don't make a very good witness. he also doesn't make a very good lawyer. i thought pressuring was good. this is such a complex story. i think a lot of us are wondering why are we still talking about this? is this deja vu? holder has been brought to the hill a number of times. the reason we're still talk about this, they have not answered the question. by "they" i mean eric holder. did it come to him? did he approved? who approved at the department of justice the guns to cross the border? that is the question. what did he know when he knew it? he has not answered that question. either he didn't know anything and he is not telling us, or he is hiding very, very damaging -- >> eric: hang in there, big boy. what about it, greg? i haven't seen the hill this fired up in a long time. >> greg: the great thing about eric holder, he doesn't have to play dumb.

little. every question asked of eric holder, holder answered a different question. he went to the talking point, instead of answering the questions. the guys are getting fed up. >> bob: fed up is one thing. that was the opening question. it seems to at least ask a guy to finish his answer. >> dana: how he is doing? >> bob: he is in trouble on this thing. it didn't know gubeer is on the committee. from texas. gomer. sorry. he's a lovely fellow. the thing i find wrong with holder here is when he had an operation, that was badly managed as it was, pick it up and kept going with it, that is his fault. they dropped it and they didn't do it and made a mistake. >> eric: very importantly, the document said michael eisnedarrell issahad on his des, the department of justice had to know about fast and furious all along. >> andrea: there are e-mail, wiretap. all the evidence, they need to know -- i'm not going to read
2:05 pm
them, as much as you want me to. they need to know who knew at department of justice, who okayed this, did it reach the highest level. i don't blame them getting frustrated. how many hearings have they had? they wasted our money, our time and people died. >> greg: what is funny is holder said the e-mails that use the phrase "fast and furious" do not refer to the gun walking operation fast and furious. so now we finally know he's actually an avid fan of vin diesel and who can blame him. vin diesel is dreamy. but keep it out of your work e-mail, holder. >> eric: move on. literally, across the street, senators from both parties were voicing serious concern over leaks from the obama administration. take a listen. >> not only have leaks occurred but there has been a cascade of leaks coming out of the intelligence community to put lives in danger. and it infringes upon the ability of the intelligence community to do their job. >> this has to stop.
2:06 pm
when people say they don't want to work with the united states because they can't trust us to keep a secret, that is serious. >> eric: bob, that is not senator mcconnell, not boehner, not especially rush evh limbaugh. that is a democrat. senator feinstein saying this is bad. >> bob: it is bad. i didn't understand the first two people. i need translation for that. but i understood her. >> greg: now you know how the audience feels when you talk. >> bob: i understand that. nice to be back here. take some more shots. can we concede, i will at this point, obama is at least a five, maybe seven-point underdog. then begs the question is you always raise this about obama going out and not dealing with the issues, doing fundraisers. according to mitt romney campaign, he did seven this weekend, over the weekend. >> eric: talk about -- >> bob: wait, i want to find out what he will do about the border crossing specifically. and what is he going to do about jobs specifically. i want to know whether he did the fundraiser around his

"we don't leak. we report." what is interesting about the drone issue. when a drone strike hit, there is evidence, you can see it. people die. governments get mad and complain to the united states. now we have a story about drones. a difference is aclu,nariry a
2:08 pm
peep from them. when the president of the united states, president bush, asked the "new york times" to appeal to the terrorism and please not report surveillance program, they said out of their sense of duty they had to go out there and put it out there. that changed the intelligence -- >> bob: you are right about that. when i was in the white house, they started the intelligence committees. and i used to carry intelligence up every day to the committee. never released. i will say this. in fairness. bipartisanship there. has been a lot more leaks. certainly more than under bush. a lot under clinton. there are highly sensitive documents we carry every day. >> greg: if you want to know who the leaks from, who do the leaks benefit? that that is the question. they benefit obama. so the leaks are coming from the white house because they're making it in to the most awesome warrior against terror ever.
2:09 pm
we need to airdrop cases of depends deepers in oval office to stop the leaking. that's where it's coming from. when this first came out i thought -- >> andrea: when it came out, i thought they think this is strong. it's close to election year and coordinated with the message on foreign policy. i think it makes them look really weak now. all the weaks to have people coming out criticizing them makes them look bad. >> dana: trying too hard. she a good commanderrer in chief. >> bob: this doesn't come from the obama. >> andrea: we don't know that. >> eric: one more sound bite from darrell issa drilling someone on what constitutes a green job. >> do garbage men have green

"the five" might be the greeniest tv show in history because we recycle this story 200 times in the last year. >> bob: you think issa and his brother in the car is -- >> greg: that is recycling a car. >> bob: you don't want to talk about it. let's talk about the obama fundraiser. >> eric: do you think america realizes when obama says we created 3 million green jobs that's bus drivers? >> bob: whoever the witness was -- >> dana: the thing is, the witness is being truthful. that is why it's a good story. it's so sad.

over 2,000 former n.f.l. players now filed 85 lawsuits against the n.f.l. for concussions received during their years in the league. if you look at the average age of the football player and the average life expectancy is. n.f.l. player is 58. average man is 76. i'm getting awfully close, myself. enjoy it while it's here. i have been through several concussions myself. >> andrea: that explains it? >> bob: a big part. >> andrea: how many concussions have you had? >> bob: five. >> andrea: there you go. >> bob: but there are helmets that can be used, thicker to help with concussions, not do away with them, but the n.f.l. don't insist on those. they should. a lot of players -- i'll say this. the players don't want to wear them, they're heavier and i think it slows them down. this is epidemic in football. not just the n.f.l. kids in high school, kids in college. people are getting concussions
2:49 pm
and they're dying. a serious issue. the n.f.l. wants to make it -- >> greg: no -- i want to disagree with everything you said. i believe a lot of it is wrong. >> bob: how could k you disagree with it? >> greg: national institute for ok safety and health found n.f.l. retirees were dying half the rate of their american male peers and they have 59% lower suicide rate. they generally live longer in the latest data. the reason being, this is mind blowing, they have less heart disease and less cancer because of the healthy lifestyle that is brought on by playing football. football teaches you to healthier. so benefit outweighs the risk unlike us we sit here and do nothing and we have self-destructive behavior. >> bob: it's not true. >> greg: check the facts. >> bob: i got the facts. >> greg: they're wrong. >> eric: played football, watched football, love football.

here is the problem. the n.f.l. players association is a union. they have collective bargaining. they bargain for what they have. they can start over and break collective bargaining. owners are bound by the collective bargaining b.s. and the unions. again, when it doesn't work for them, they want to sue everyone. they're wrong. >> bob: owners incorporate -- [ inaudible ] these people put their lives at risk. >> greg: they get six and seven figures. guys in the military get five figures. >> andrea: they used to play without helmets. even if they knew this helmet was lighter and faster they argue a lot of players would have said i don't care. i'll play anyway. this is a tough case to prove. especially the class action aspect. punter is different from a linemen. a number of players played for different times, different positions. this is incredibly tough. even if they were lied to that.
2:51 pm
is tissue. were they lied to about the helmet. >> bob: let me ask dana a question. people upstairs, question this. our facts are the facts. greg is wrong. >> greg: i'm dead right. >> bob: dana, what is your feeling? >> eric: you can both be right. the reason why life expectancy at 7 years old. you take data from helmet seven decades ago. five decades ago. they may be dying. but now if you take the last five or seven years -- >> andrea: how do you say if everyone has the same injury? >> dana: i am an expert in football. i am an expert to watch the trial lawyers figure out how to do things like this and make money out of other people? where is the personal responsibility? if the helmets exist and you choose not to wear it. a state where there is no helmet law for motorcycle riding, if you choose not to wear one, that is your choice.
2:52 pm
>> bob: n.f.l. mandates hip pads, thigh pads, certain shoes, why not mandate helmet? >> dana: if you go into football you know what you're getting into. >> bob: if you get inferior equipment. >> eric: do you think any football player out of college gets drafted and turns the deal down because of the helmet? >> bob: no. do i think there is an owner that gives a hell if they get concussions? >> eric: don't blame the owners. it's not the owners. it's the players association against the n.f.l. not owners. >> bob: against the owners. that is the n.f.l. >> eric: wrong. >> greg: the n.f.l. -- bob, they're yelling at you. >> greg: one more thing is next. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] ever wonder what's behind two lile fleas?
