friday 4 p.m. eastern time. i'll ask him about the room service thing. i'll also ask him about what he makes of these attacks on these conservative groups and whether that he affected voter turnout. mitt romney on friday. hello, everyone. i'm here with bob beckyell danaa perino, greg gutfeld, and eric bolling. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is the 5. irs officials have had their chance but today it was the victims' turn to speak and none of them pleaded the fifth, by the way. six americans who were targeted for their political beliefs by the irs told their stories to congress. here's one of them. becky garrettson, president of a tea party group in alabama. >> this was not an accident. this is a willful act of intimidation to discourage a point of view. what the government did to our little group in alabama is

unamerican. many of the agencies and agents of the federal government do not understand that they are servants of the people. they think they are our masters, and they are mistaken. i'm not interested in scoring politicalpoints. i want to protect and preserve the america that i grew up in, the america that people cross oceans and risk their lives to become a part of, and i'm tariffed it is slipping -- terrified it is slipping away. >> as she pointed out, these are not large groups, eric. they're small groups often relying on small dollar donations. all of these groups were under the threat of perjury whether or not they provided the proper information. it's a scary, scary thing what they went through, and it seems like no one in the administration seems to carry. >> eric: who are your interns? did they ever plan on running for government office? how do they know these things? like you point out, they're under the threat of perjury. it's insane what they did. i mean, they singled out patriot, tea party, marriage,

things that are conservative in their name, ignoring the liberal side, but then again, a couple other facts that we kind of forgot about that we talked about before. they also turned over their information, their donor lists to the lefties, to pro public, to a couple others. that should be illegal. no ones talking about that, and also, you and i talked about this a long time ago. the day before they started doing this, april 1st and 2nd of 2010, the day before, march 31st, the head of the unions went to the white house, had a sit-down meeting at the white house. we don't know what they talked about. think about that. the head of that union comes out and then the very next day they start targeting conservatives. it's quarterbacking like a duck. >> dana, very few coincidences in politics. i want to focus on some of these stories. dana, some of these groups had to provide pictures of their children because they wanted every single facebook post. if these speakers gave spes, they wanted to know every person

that was in the audience, any potential speeches they could be giving, future comments they could be making, all under the threat that they could be thrown in jail if they answered the question improperly. >> dana: to add to that, the books that they had read and any of their book clubs as well as promises that they would not protest in future places, one in particular was a promise that you will never the tim protest t of a planne planned parenthood u get your tax-exempt status. the administration itself said it was outrageous. president obama came out to the east room, very unprecedented for him to come to the east room on this issue, and said this is outrageous. we should hold him to it. one of the ways to make the government react is to put a face to the story. that's what happened today. finally we had a place, a hearing where all of these victims, the ones that were chosen to give testimony, represented the thousands that were victimized by the irs. that was powerful, and it will

hopefully continue to keep the pressure on them. >> greg, now the democrats seem to be taking an interesting tack in their push back towards these victims, even when there's tears involved. listen to jim mcdermott, a democratic congressman, giving this excuse that maybe they shouldn't have applied in the first place, and well, then they wouldn't be targeted. >> each of your groups is highly political from opposing the president's health care reform to abortion restrictions to gay marriage. i haven't heard a single word here about what questions you think we ought to be able to ask you about your tax-exempt request. anything else like the circus that's happening in the oversight committee or here is simply political theater. >> it reminds of you another excuse that people use. you shouldn't have worn the dress. not to quote stone temple pilots. >> greg: by the way. we can be political. the irs capture. that's the problem. people were exercising speech and getting targeted.

do not deny this is is political targeting. that's like saying drone attacks are light rain. the democrat attacks weaponized the irs leading up to the election. you cannot deny that. it's like peeing in a cup and telling me it's gatorade. by the way, where are all the left wing victims? are they having a hearing for that? they don't need one because there aren't any. the targets are the tea party because the tea party had the guts to face government and yell stop. in a weird way, the tea party, they're like cooler than biker gangs. they're like the harley's angels with sun visors instead of switch blades. they're the most dangerous group in america and everybody should join them. >> bob, what do you think? do you agree with this excuse by mcder not now that she shouldn't have even applied and they wouldn't be targeted. >> anybody that gets a questionnaire like that and fills it out is not making any

sense. the person who wrote it is clearly outside the lines. >> what are you supposed to do? >> don't fill it out. complain about it. get a lawyer and complain about it. >> they tried for two years and the media ignored the story. it wasn't until the white house covered up the fact that they knew about the investigation and the ig report that this all came to light. >> they actually filled out all that stuff and sent it in which i think is remarkable, but i think there is something to be said about some of these groups, some of these groups that were quite political and did not deserve tax-exempt status. they deserved to have a hearing that was fair, and they didn't get one. >> wait. you're saying if you disagree with what the irs requests of you, you should get a lawyer and item them it's ridiculous and on i'm not filling this out. i'm not only going to fill out my 2013 taxes, that line right there. >> would you answer all of those questions? >> those were people that were trying to be law-abiding citizens. >> i'm trying to get tax-exempt statstatus and on the left it wt a big deal. you fill it out, you get your tax-exempt status.

here's the problem. what the left is trying to do, they're deer in the headlights. they're caught red-handed, hand in the cookie jar, all that stuff, and the left is trying to say you know what? let's take a at 501c3s, 4s, and 5s. maybe that's the problem here. no. the problem is you targeted conservative and not liberal groups. it's got to be the same even playing field for both sides. >> >> dana: but liberal groups have an umbrella of protection. they're under the protection of the unions, and so you don't have to go after -- they don't need -- lots of the smaller groups, that's one of the great equalizers of that decision. if you disagree with it, try to change the law. these people that are testifying today, they got something from the irs which is the only government entity that can bring you to your knees with one phone call, and they were trying to be responsive. i mean, if the government asked me do this, i think that i would probably do it. i wouldn't know that it wouldn't be the right thing that would be intrusive.

>> hold on, bob. i think we've all discussed the fear of the irs. it's perhaps the scariest government organization, so they were scared. they didn't know they could get a lawyer and then sue. also, the democrats keep hiding behind this inspector general audit. it's just simply an audit. i would remind you that the russell george who headed the audit said both incompetence and ideology caused the targeting. no tnow to your point, eric, the using another excuse. not just well, we should take a look at all these groups. even after the $50 million in conferences they wasted on line dancing and all th stuff, one representative says this was all caused because the irs didn't have enough money. listen. >> the irs simply could not sustain itself with its overall funding level, automatic i'm certain there are some who will review this as a good step. i disagree. there's no clearer way to promote more scandal than by cutting funding that could be used for oversight, training, and reform.

at the level of this subcommittee, we're just asking for more trouble at the irs. >> if they wouldn't have purchased those "star trek" klingon costumes, they would not need more money. >> irs asking for more money is like dolly parton asking for breast implants. the greatest left in unlimited government is an entity that's exempt from the standards of competition gets rewarded for mall feesance. the worse they do, the more they demand because they can. i would like to have every bureaucrat wear a shock collar so that any time that they act politically, if they do something to further an agenda, you shock them. the only behavior you have left is minimal governance which is exactly what the founders wanted. there was supposed to be no politics, bob, in this. it was only supposed to be governance. when progressives get in power, because they love to use governing as a weapon to coerce

people to believe in their beliefs, this is what you end up with. in the epa and with the irs, it's everywhere. the government exists to trample on the backs of ambivalent voters and ambivalent citizens. >> they were taking activity against the president of the united states and his plans which you should not be able to get tax-exempt status for. they should come down on them. >> they can have political speech. the irs can't have political activity. >> i feel the same way about media matters during the bush administration. >> sure. >> isn't there a way to solve this problem byher stripping the irs of their authority to tax on things like obama care, or, eric, what about a flat tax? >> a fair tax is the one i like, and every time we talk about it, we only have 30 seconds left. >> i know. >> then the next day we talk about how we should talk about it. >> it's the one tax that you have where everyone has to participate, even pimpps, hookers, and drug dealers.

>> even the 43% who don't pay federal income taxes. >> we should tax every time obama says we have to pay our fair share. the people who don't pay taxes have to pay taxes. >> what about it, dana? >> i think it's -- as rahm emanuel taught us, never let a crisis go to waste. if you can get a bi-partisan group to push it through, it gets messy when you get into the details. you have so many special interests with the mortgage tax and charitable deductions, also, how do you make sure that people who are below poverty have enough credit. you can do that, right? >> i'm actually for that. i like that. >> i like the flat tax. the only reason i don't like the fair tax is an they tried some version ot here in new york. when their lobbyists get their hands on it, they give carveouts. there was a tax on large marshmallows but not small ones.

>> you need to tie the flat tax to a true economic indicator which would be how much andrea spends on shoes. >> we're in trouble then. >> i think that would work. the other thing is our tax system right now has made it so you need to hire somebody like h&r block in order to keep yourself out of jail. it's almost like buying health care. >> dana's point is very well taken. if there ever was a time to get tax reform pushed through, it would be in the after math of this. i happen to think a flat tax is something worth while to look at it. i don't understand it, but i've talked to steve forbes. he makes a pretty compelling case for it. the fair tax i don't know enough about to discuss. i think we ought to take advantage. the interests are going to line up. it will be unbelievable. >> do you think the democrats would support a flat tax? >> i do. >> wow. >> it's the same problem now. you still have irs, you still have loopholes, carveouts. you go to fair tax, there is no irs. there is no loop hole. >> who is going to collect the taxes? >> that's all you have to do. >> that's all you need.

>> businesses collect the taxes. >> you hear that, washington, dc? ver let a crisis go to waste. tax reform, even beckel's on board. up next, a major announcement from new jersey governor chris christie on the replacement for democratic senator frank lautenberg who passed away yesterday. you'll hear from the governor when we come back. for singing definitely dry mouth has been a problem for me. but i'm also on a lot of medications that dry my mouth out. i just drank tons of water all the time. it was never enough. i wasn't sure i was going to be able to continue singing. i saw my dentist and he suggested biotene. it feels refreshing. my mouth felt more lubricated. i use the biotene rinse twice a day

and then i use the spray throughout the day. it actually saved my career in a way. because biotene really did make a difference.

♪ >> eric: when senator frank

lautenberg died yesterday, he left governor chris christie with a big decision, appoint an interim senator or wait for the elections in 2014. here's the governor today. >> this is about guaranteeing the people of new jersey both a choice and a voice in the process and the representation they deserve in washington. whoever is going to be our next united states senator should be nominated by a primary of the people and voted on by all the people of the state of new jersey. i deem it advisable to have a special election. neact, i deem iin fact, i don'te cost is and quite frankly, i don't care. we're not going to be penny wise and pound foolis foolish. >> make no mistake. with immigration and tax reform on the senate horizon, every vote counts. christie knows that. he will be sure to appoint a

republican if he ever, ever wants to run for president. >> i'll finish the read in a second. >> i'm sorry. >> if he appoints a democrat, he can kiss his support from the right goodbye. i'll start from the right, bob, since you jumped the gun. >> he announced he will have a primary. he's not going to pick a republican. they're going to have a special election and there will be a primary for the democratic and republican sides. people will vote and make a decision. >> he'll appoint someone in the meantime until the primary which happens in november. i think this is political genius, what he's done here because cory booker, the mayor of ne newark, is a very popular democrat. it keeps him off the ballot in november when governor christie is up. >> it's a veryhrewd political move. it seems as if cory booker is inevitable at this point to be the senator from new jersey, so it is very smart. i think in the meantime he may appoint one of his long time allies.

there's a state senator who just came off a senate run against bob me then did h menendez. he's great guy. he will fill the spot until the special election in 2014. chris christie is saying look, the people in new jersey elected a democratic, this is the most fair way of going about it. i don't have to face off against booker, and it will happen a bit sooner. >> this is exactly how it goes down. there is a primary, and then the general election in new jersey will be october 16th. >> right. >> november 7th, the first tuesday in november is when chris christie goes up for reaction. >> right. >> so he keeps booker off that election, that ballot. >> are you suggesting to me they can't wait 60 or 70 days to do that. >> three weeks difference between the special election and the election. >> if he's going -- if you're right, and that's not the way i read it, but if i were him, i would appoint you, eric bolling, for the interim job because you will find there's a huge amount

of days where the senate will not be meeting. >> they had that picture ready for this. this couldn't have been rick, could it? >> yes, itis. >> we asked all you guys who you were voting for. >> bolling for senate. you'd get out. you would save me a lot of agony. >> i'd have to have porter tell me what to say, too. >> you could be a free agent. you could say whatever you want. you could advocate for a sales tax. >> you mean to tell me that kristi is going to -- christy is going to nominate somebody for 60 days? >> he's calling for a special election on october 1 weeks latt for governor. >> in the meantime he'll appoint somebody for that seat. >> the meantime he'll appoint somebody. >> i will say on the politics of it, so he left them guessing. republicans will be happy abo some things, not so happy about others and vice versa with the democrats. if you're going to split the difference, you have be very clear as to wie. the problem he will have most for his brand is that comment where he said i

really don't care how much it costs. actually, that, i think, will rub people the wrong way, so he's going to have to explain that a little bit more. i understand what he was trying to say, but the way that it came across was kind of flippant. t's $25 million, and if i were a democrat, i'd say whoa, i thought you were like, you know, the good government guy. why don't you wait for three weeks and do it in november? >> i know he there's a lot of strange things that happen in new jersey. are you telling me, can you run for the seat in november if win the primary? >> yes. you could. one could. >> you could win the special election. >> you will. >> what about the person he appoints? >> i don' that he appoints is going to run in that election. that's the point. >> let's just say he appoints andrea's choice. he will go to an election, a general election in october against likely cory booker. whoever wins that will have the seat for one year. >> this is like public access television in new jersey. >> when lautenberg's seat comes

up, they'll go forward. >> i would like to formally apologize to the united states of america for talking about a local election that means nothing to anybody. my vote, snookie. >> another bad choice. >> snookie is emblematic of new jersey, spunky, slightly dangerous, ball of birthh, she would have your -- ball of mirth and has your interests in mind all the time. she's also a mother. >> if somebody else could run like tom king, jr., joa i don'tw many republ who have run state wide. >> someone else could run, the primary and a couple months before. >> it makes absolutely no sense. >> it keeps the popular democrat, cory booker, off the ballot that chris christie wants to win by a huge margin. >> it's about the down ticket, the down ballot.

>> you should know this. >> i don't want to go, but this is very important. we need to stretch this for an hour, people. okay. >> greg, shut up. >> it is also about the down ticket. he would love to see a republican in the statehouse. >> that's right. so he wants to make sure that you don't have good turnout. >> this is the crazyist political idea i've ever heard. >> the senator he appoints gets seniority in the senate when there's big issues like immigration reform. it's great to have a republican vote in the meantime. >> he's going to be put on the bottom of the list in terms of seniority. he is -- only new jersey could figure this out. we're going to hav to appoint sy for 23 days and they can't move to washington because there's not enough time and t we'll have a special election and then we'll have christie's election. >> then there's another election in 2014. >> we have to leave it u there. >> no! don't stop! i want to keep going. >> the most transparent

administration in history has been using secret e-mail accounts to avoid turning over information to the public. wait until you hear the details on the phony account of one former cabinet member in particular ... directly ahead. humans. even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why at liberty mutual insurance, to policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what ee comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy?

>> so part 2 on chris christie. we're going to go around and talk about -- no. just kidding. today we're talking about christie all through the break. they wouldn't shut up. they just wouldn't shut up. >> you better hope this block outrates the christie block. >> i guarantee you. everybody during the christie block went out and they bought a bottle of scotch and cried. >> you want to know about the history of the special elections? >> i don't care. >> i didn't think so.

>> i'll be fast. so richard windsor was awesome. a certified scholar of ethical behavior who regularly communicated with senior obama officials. he also didn't exist. the crony was a phony. yard windsor was a fake name used by lisa jackson on e-mail while she ran the epa. jackson did this, she says,becas public. this doesn't explain why jackson used it to communicate with environmental activists or why the windsor e-mails never mentioned that they were from her. now, some think a fake employee is better than a real one. fake ones can't line dance and charge you for it. this alias once again reveals the administration flaw, that the liberal civil servant's role is no longer to govern but to coerce. an alias yakking with green activists doesn't fall under governing, it's sneaky politics. the aliases make you wonder who's real and who's not. is biden just a loveable

hologram? when is the last time we actually saw the white house dog? perhaps the most elaborate figment is the president himself, conceived and operated by valerie jarrett from her skewesecure pod in amelia ehrhas sunken plain. maybe i give him too much credit. the alias wins ethics award. only in the alternate reality of obama washington. it's the same reality where video caused benghazi, the irs is not political, and eric holder is called competent. too bad the rest of us are stuck here in the real world. >> dana, this is what so sad. a lot of these things are out, these are things you do when you're not working. when you're sitting at your desk, i think i'll fill out the company are you a happy employee. >> you have to do these things for the government. you have to finally fill out this document that says you do self-evaluation. >> you probably filled them out on the first day at the job. i checked out your alias

aaccount under bush, and it was. if a busch appointee had been using alias e-mails to contact coal companies, what would happen? >> i can't imagine. this is the wielder thing. i can understand why head of an organization needs to have an e-mail address that is separate. it's under dotgov. in some of these reports, people apparently didn't know it was her. they thought richard windsor was a real person. the thing for me, if you're a cabinet official, the best accuse not to be saddled with e-mail is to be in the cabinet and just to say sorry, i can't do e-mail. just get rid of that whole headache. that would be the only reason i'd go back into government. >> what is wrong with a political appointee not having themselves exposed to the freedom of information act and how is this different than the dick cheney meeting secretly with oil companies. >> a tailhook. >> this is more twisted than

days of our lives. >> dick cheney met secretly with oil companies to forge policy. what's different from that than these people talking to environmental activists? >> oh, my gosh. first of all, we don't have to talk about that. the supreme court decided that it was not a problem. actually, if you look at the legislation, it was quite balanced and actually very good. that's the point. richard windsor was a fake person. you have a fake person as the head of the epa. forget the fact that everything she said was totally legitimate. she's actually spending time on taxpayer dollar time filling out little reports and tests so that she can get richard windsor, a fake person, a certificate to put on her refrigerator. >> she's a politician. >> wait a m whoa. whoa. whoa. first of all, the most transparent administration in history, the head of the environmental protection agency is taking time out of her day when she's supposed to be protecting the environment to take compliance and ethics courses on line for a phone knee e-mail? that's stalking. >> nothing wrong with it.

nothing. >> protecting her environment. >> exactly. >> meanwhile, apple hired her. >> yeah. i know. >> apple decided this is the best person for the job. can you imagine her salary? >> that's about access. >> what name did she use in the interview? >> remember the guy who founded whole foods? >> okay. do you rememb the whole political rnc e-mail scandal in the last two years? >> two days in a row. >> what? >> you're making up for lost time. >> did i interrupt you again? >> yeah. >> probably because you didn't have much to say. >> the e-mail scandal with the republicans? no, i don't remember that. >> that's the great thing about being beckel. everything that's past about eight months, you don't remember. >> that's correct. it's usually from yesterday. >> the ap is reporting on this e-mail story. >> no. >> finish your point. >> that's quite all right.

>> i'll pick it up next time. >> did you have a point? >> i'm sorry. okay, kids. coming up, the terrorist who allegedly gunned down american soldiers at fort hood has been granted the right to represent himself. there's the ugly b word, which means he could question some of his victims during the trial. what do they think about that? they'll tell you when he we come back. vo: traveling you definitely end up meeting a lot more people but

♪ >> jur about to begin in the fort hood murder trial where 13 were killed and over two dozen were wounded in 2009 of the these murders have been classified as workplace

violence by the obama administration. a judge has granted major nidal hasan permission to represent himself so he may question some of his victims. many understandably are upset about that. here's one soldier told megyn kelly earl today. >> it's a travesty. basically he's trying to make a mockery out of our justice system and our standard of government and our way of life. i feel as if he's going to use the trial as a platform to try to rally other extreme jihaddists to try to react in a negative manner as well as that by him being a psychiatrist, he knows what buttons to try to push to trigger our ptsd. >> hasan will reportedly defend himself by saying that islamic leadership was in imminent danger. he found out today that the judge will give him a little more time because he needs some time to gather his facts. i've got your facts right here. this really infuriates me.

i feel bad for the victims, but andrea, he has the right to defend himself, and the judge doesn't really have any reason to tell him he can't. >> what's really disappointing, he also has the sixth amendment right under the constitution to confront the witnesses against him, so he's going to be able to ask them questions. now, if he goes crazy and starts to ask them improper questions, of course, the military judge will step up and symptom him from doing that. i mean, dana, at the same time he's defending himself which will be difficult, if not impossible to prove, he's collecting a government salary. this is the most disgraceful, i think, incident in this -- by this administration, bob, to call this workplace violence, to give him government benefits. yes, he can represent himself, and the worst part, dana, too is there's fear he could turn over any evidence to terrorists because he has a security clearance. the good thing is it's not a whodunit, so the prosecution doesn't need to rely on much. >> i think it's a good reason to

not have cameras in the courtroom. then they can't make too much of a spectacle. what they'll go through inside the courtroom will be terrible. at lea don't have to see it on television. >> i like cameras in the courtroom. the problem is this shouldn't be in a courtroom. it should be in a military tribunal where he wouldn't have a chance to represent himself. he's only going to use the courtroom, the courts, the camera in the courtroom for a platform just like ksm was going to do it in new york city if eric holder had his way. they would have done the same thing downtown. this will be the muslim extremist version of the most popular tv show you can think of. that's all they want this for. the guy shouldn't be allowed to do this. >> do you want to comment on this or should i go to tsarnaev? >> a, calling this workplace violence is like calling the oklahoma tornadoes cattle flat lens. i agree with andrea. it's an example of how enemies of our system use freedom of speech and tolerance to undermine our system. the biggest threat is not terror, it's our fear of calling it terrorism.

how hasan was able to kill which because the cowardice within our own government to call out radical issues. this guy got in and killed a bunch of really wonderful people. >> what do you think, bob? >> i think, first of all, greg was making fun of the song when we came in. >> no, he wasn't. he makes fun of country music all the time. >> i was only kidding you. don't be a jerk. that's what i ammos of the time. >> shut up, bob. >> shut up, bob. he knows he's going to lose. he wants to use this as a platform. it gives him an opportunity to say all the things he wants to say which we don't like to hear. he has a right to say it. he doesn't think he can win. >> the only reason he has a right is they called it workplace violence instead of terrorism. >> he has that right because our soldiers fight for it. >> don't forget. he stood up and yelled allah akbar before he killed people. >> a panel of army shrings were

told how he was going to kill. they said thank you. >> who made the decision on the workplace violence. >> the department of labor. >> crazy. get rid of the department of labor. >> i'm sure it was a low level employee that shall remain nameless. there's a new less of the best favorite tv shows of all time. we'll agree with some, disagree with others. we'll tell you which ones are next on the fox.
