flirtest on this breaking news. make sure you go to gretawire.com and let us know what you thought about the show tonight and don't forget... this is a very importantretsin, everyone wants it, new and improved. remember that seinfeld? tonight at 8:00 on fbn. hello, i'm andrea tantaros, with eric bolling, bob beckel, dana perino, and greg gutfeld. this is "the five." well, it is day seven of the george zimmerman murder trial where several key witnesses took the stand, including a lead detective on the case, a medical examiner, a fingerprint examiner, and zimmerman's best friend. greta vansusteren has been in the courtroom for today's testimony, joins us from sanford, florida. greta, what stood out to you today? >> reporter: what stood out, the starve the day was our own sean
11:01 pm
hannity. sean hannity interviewed george zimmerman a long time ago, and the prosecution played that video. now, sean got the interview, we all hustled, he beat us out, he got an interview with george zimmerman early on. the prosecution played that video for the jury as a statement of the defendant. what they were attempting to do is show a couple things, one of the things he said to sean was that he didn't know about the stand your ground defense in florida, so the prosecution put that out. then what they tried to do later in the day was to say george zimmerman knows all about this law, stand your ground defense, and that the reason he told the exculpatory stories to the police officers, video taped and audio taped is because he knew the law. the prosecution wants to prove that by rolling out course work he had taken in criminal justice work. that stood out. sean hannity was the star of the show today and got the interview nobody else did. some other interesting points. last night, end of the day the
11:02 pm
defense asked the detective on the stand, this is a state's witness, the detective or chief officer over the investigation, and asked him did he believe george zimmerman, because george zimmerman had given all these exculpatory statements, even had taken the officer to the scene, done a re-enactment, asked do you believe that's his voice on the tape yelling help, help, and the officer said i do believe him. well, end of the day, prosecution went and had dinner, thought oh, my god, why did we let that come in, that shouldn't come in, that's opinion of a witness on a defendant, really shouldn't have come in. probably were up all night fretting about it. they show up this morning, raise it with the judge, want the judge to strike the question and answer. there was back and forth debating about it. the judge said you know what, prosecution, you're right. that question shouldn't have come in, and the jury shouldn't have heard it. i am going to instruct the jury. bring the jury in. the judge turns to the jury, says remember the question where the detective said he believes what george zimmerman is saying, remember that question?
11:03 pm
the detective said he believed him? i want you to strike that. and i am thinking to myself, really? so now the jury heard it yesterday. if by chance they forgot it overnight, they're now reminded by it, and reminded by the judge that the detective believes george zimmerman's case. so that is sort of a little of what happened today, andrea. there's so much more, i will toss it back to you for any questions. >> been in a number of courtrooms, i think this case got off to a rocky start for the defense. yesterday they had a great day. how would you call the day today, do you think they're gaining momentum? judge it on today's testimony. >> you know, it is weird, sort of building for the defense. it is the jury who will decide, maybe they see it differently than i do. but when you have the prosecution have to put on a fingerprint expert to tell that they couldn't lift any fingerprints of anybody from the gun, negative evidence? that's not the strongest way to approach a case. you don't get the sense that the prosecution is on offense, but they're anticipating what they
11:04 pm
think the defense is going to do or going to ask, so they put on evidence. they had a doctor on today who looked at photographs of george zimmerman's injuries and she concluded and said i don't think it looks like he hit his head on concrete but that others might. and this doctor never even looked at it, but looked at photographs of the injuries. didn't examine george zimmerman. that's just weak. that may be the best they have, and they probably couldn't get george zimmerman examined by a doctor at the time, close to the injuries, but it looks weak. this doesn't look like a prosecution they get the sense is strong. >> hold on a second. we have that sound bite you're referencing. let's take a listen. >> we have one small injury right there, and one injury right there. >> are either of those lacerations life threatening? >> no. they were so minor that the individual who examined and treated mr. zimmerman told him
11:05 pm
that the sutures were not required. >> the injuries on the back of the defendant's head consistent with one strike against a concrete surface? >> yes. >> why do you say that? >> because if you hit the head one time, it is consistent with having gotten those two injuries at that one time. >> greta, i heard that, then i heard she is not even the one that performed the autopsy. what do you think? >> reporter: the autopsy, when you bring that up, that to me will be a key witness because trayvon martin isn't here to tell his side of the story, he is the decedent. george zimmerman told his story multiple times. listen carefully to the one that did the examination, a forensic expert. what is going to be key is if you look at the trajectory of the bullet and the clothes, does it look like the sweatshirt was close to the chest, which would suggest they're standing next to each other, or was it far away from the chest. you can in some instances tell
11:06 pm
that, which would mean he was leaning over george zimmerman which would be consistent with george zimmerman saying trayvon martin was on top of him when he was shot. that testimony, that science may be very instructive to corroborate either george zimmerman's version of events or what we assume would be trayvon martin's if he were here to testify. that evidence to me, because people come into the courtroom of all sorts of reasons to color things, people's memories fade. when you get closer to science, not perfect, but in some instances, it may provide key corroboration that could validate a particular version of events. that's what i would be watching for. >> greta, yesterday we speculated, said there wasn't much forensics coming out. we said at this point the way the trial is going it is almost the defense could rest as soon as the state rests because they haven't made the case yet. as forensics come out, it doesn't sound like they're making a compelling case for the prosecution. why, what are they waiting for? is this the most compelling
11:07 pm
evidence the state has? >> reporter: eric, i once had a chase where a judge said to me as i was making my argument, he said i was making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. sometimes you don't have great cases, you just don't have great cases, you do what you have to. one of the considerations here, if it turns out this case continues to unravel and it is not a compelling case and we have to hear what jurors think afterwards if they talk to us, if it turns out, it may appear there was peer pressure for the prosecution to bring this case, and in some instances maybe that's a good thing, let the community see the case, so the community doesn't have a great mystery, it is televised. jurors may have a different view of what they've seen so far. i'm just sitting in the courtroom. i am one of the people. i am not on the jury. they may have a completely different version. they may find george zimmerman unlikable, may think this is a vigilante thug roaming the neighborhood looking for a kid that happens to be walking through with skittles and an
11:08 pm
iced tea and he is following him. i don't know, that could be what happened. i am just telling you my view of the evidence, and it is not over, the prosecution is on the run. >> greta, i wondered about the lawyers. obviously the jurors as you explained yesterday, they're not supposed to be reading all of the media, don't know necessarily about all of the attention, but lawyers for the prosecution and defense, how close attention do they pay to media coverage, does that influence them at all? >> reporter: i may be one of the few people that thinks not. when i tried cases, dana, i had no idea what was going on in the back of the courtroom. you could have people crying back there or screaming, you never paid attention, you were so focused on the trial and so focused on your job. when you leave at night, you don't go back and watch tv. you've got to go back and research, you're filing motions, preparing witnesses for the next day, you're looking at depositions, looking at transcripts. it is not like the lawyers have any free time on either side.
11:09 pm
so i would be surprised if any of them had five minutes. you may notice we interviewed one of the defense lawyers yesterday, but it is only because we grabbed him coming out of the courthouse right after i was on "the five" and we did it then. he couldn't come back last night and do that, and if he has extra time, he wants to sleep or eat. i actually -- i don't think the lawyers pay any attention at this point to the media. >> greta, as you know i watch a lot of crime television, good wife, law and order, night court. you always hear people say you need to -- >> with subtitles? >> yes, it is. >> i am extremely slow. they always say you have to strike something from the record. how can a jury not hear something that they already heard? is that actually possible that you can just suddenly forget? that's going to play a role. >> reporter: well, greg, that's why i say today when the prosecution after they made the mistake yesterday not objecting soon, they could have objected as soon as the question happened. they didn't even have to get the
11:10 pm
answer out. as soon as the defense lawyer asked that question, they should have been on their feet objecting so the jury never heard the answer. instead what they did, they sat, let it happen. that was dumb. then they go home and then they think about it, come back today and have the judge instruct the jury, which to me always was like okay, jury, remember that police officer says he totally buys the defense case? i am exaggerating a bit to make the point, but remember that testimony? and the jurors go yeah, we remember it. they go forget about it. how do you forget about it? they now heard it twice. >> greta, can i boil this down to one simple question. is this a lousy prosecution? >> reporter: no. it may be just lousy evidence. i mean, these are not bad lawyers. look, you know, sometimes you have a really rotten case, and sometimes you think you have a good case and your witnesses fall apart on the stand. sometimes, bob, i tell you, when i tried cases, it was not a big surprise to me, i would spend hours and hours with the client,
11:11 pm
and if i put my client on the witness stand, by the way, hated clients on the witness stand, i did as much as i could not to present any defense at all, i thought it was better to attack the prosecution case, but on the occasions i put a defendant on, one i spent hours and hours with, you hear things you never heard before. trials are surprises. it is not that the lawyers are bad on prosecution, they may just have a really bad case. and it may look bad that they're putting all this evidence on audio statements and video that help the defense, but if they don't do it, here is what's going to happen. the defense will be talking about it in closing argument, why was the prosecution hiding audiotapes, hiding video tapes. same reason christopher dard enput that glove on o.j. simpson. if he hadn't, johnny cochran would point at marcia clark and christopher dard en, say they got the glove, why don't they want him to try it on, because they know. then you make the prosecutor
11:12 pm
look like a crook. >> part of the reason we're all surprised the prosecution doesn't have a case is because the media already tried the case with a different outcome before the case even started? >> reporter: i suspect that's true. one of the problems you have in any case is that people take sides. shirts and skins. they immediately take sides, no matter what it is, not just on the racial issue, in any case, someone may be more likeable or not likeable. you often times have that. there's the beauty, going back to dana's question, hopefully the jury is not poisoned like that, hopefully lawyers aren't doing that, and the judges. we may have all of this chatter and noise outside the courtroom, but they all have a very important job. i suspect they're all doing a good job at it, i suspect the jury is doing its best. never met a juror that had a cavalier attitude, like he or she didn't care. ey're all very, very serious citizens when picked for a jury. >> greta, zimmerman's buddy took the stand today and described
11:13 pm
the moment where zimmerman supposedly reached for the gun as for a possible motive. i am going to play the sound bite. i want you to react. >> do you recall if he even told you that trayvon martin had touched the gun or just that he was reaching for it? >> i thought he had said he had grabbed the gun. i only heard the story twice, whether it was grabbed the gun, grabbed for the gun, perhaps it was just the intent. but i believed he said he grabbed the gun. >> what do you think? >> reporter: well, first of all, that was -- the point of that, that's about 2% of his testimony, was to show that it was inconsistent with other things that george zimmerman had said on audio and video tapes, make george zimmerman look like a liar. that was the point of it, 2%. the other 98% of the testimony completely helped george zimmerman. so now the prosecution is in the awkward position. they can't stand up and criticize the 98%. they're the ones that called the witness.
11:14 pm
what do you mean, they want to criticize him for 98%? they're the ones that called him. they didn't have to call him. they have a hard time in closing argument. as that 2% that's inconsistent, that when it goes to the jury. does the jury think that inconsistency is minor or do they think it is major? people don't have perfect memories. in this instance, is this something so significant to this jury that it really tests the credibility of the defendant? or will the jury think i can't remember what i had for lunch. perfect memories are sometimes a problem. don't want perfect memories in a trial from a defense perspective, looks like everybody got together and cooked up a story. imperfect memory is okay, as long as it is not incredibly material to the jury. >> greta, we're running a little out of time. how important is momentum? america is getting ready for the great holiday weekend. are the jurors as well? how important is it for the prosecution or defense to keep this going? >> well, it feels like it is important, frankly, get a chance at closing argument to tie it
11:15 pm
up. you hate to have the interference and big break, when you get to closing argument, you get to put on all of the bells and whistles, show them pieces of evidence, remind them of testimony. a good lawyer can fix that. that's not a problem. >> thanks, greta. >> reporter: thank you. >> tune to on the record for more in depth analysis of the george zimmerman murder trial. now ahead on "the five," eric had a couple of big interviews with rush limbaugh and glenn greenwald earlier today on fox and friends. we'll show you some of the highlights. don't go away!

♪ so lawyers are asking the pentagon to hold off force feeding gitmo inmates during the day out of respect for the religious holiday. meanwhile, the u.n. human rights council of inquiry on syria found much like in other places of the world christians are under attack by islamic militias. those that do not flee often end up dead. just last week, a catholic
11:20 pm
syrian priest was murdered by syrian rebels. the media here does a great but very easy job focusing on extremism here. we target those god awful ghouls like the phelps family, they're easy, comedians like to put outrage on them. but that's one sad family and they aren't trying to blow up marathons. if you had guts, stop by a mosque and ask about other factions around the world festering hate. we embrace tolerance, yet those expecting it remain immune from its demands and we tolerate their in tolerance for fear we will hurt their feelings. called islamaphobia phobia. this is inviting the devil to your doorstep, handing them the key. bob, why are we so scared of calling out deadly extremism around the globe? >> you know, i think what we're
11:21 pm
afraid of here i guess is some sort of sensitivity about a bunch of people because the assumption is that the vast majority of those people are not radicals, and so we are trying to go out of our way, figure out if we can cut out the radicals and dump on them without dumping on the other 85%. what gets me angry and has been for months, the treatment of muslims of christians. now we have another example of christians being killed in syria. we have had this going on in nigeria, had it going on in egypt, and i have said this over and over again, i don't know what my government is doing about this, but it is time for this to stop. if this is what you consider your religion and you consider your great prophet to do, you're in the wrong place and wrong time, we have been tolerant with you. the time to be tolerant is coming to an end. you have no right to treat them that way.
11:22 pm
we treat your people well, you should treat our people well. if not, our allies ought to gather with us and do something about it. >> andrea, what do you think. we bend over backwards to condemn nonviolent extremism, common bigotry, but cower when it is deadly. >> bob mentioned we go out of the way to do this in the hopes they'll change. i'll save you the suspense. they won't. they will not stop until we are all muslims or ruled by muslims. being nice and talking sweet doesn't work. the only thing they understand is a 2 x 4 over the head. bottom line, one of the most disgusting injustices, in addition to what bob said about persecution of christians, the war on women in the women and the way they treat homosexuals. i am sick and tired of liberals and the media ignoring it. it is one issue where right and left can come together and really expose the injustices in this world. instead they focus on the republican party, they focus on christians, they focus on
11:23 pm
everybody but people who do not fit into their narrative, and it is dangerous and we're going to learn the hard way. more people are going to have to die unfortunately. >> i think to the point, moderate muslims, if you're not going to stand up and say something and allow this to go on, let your religion be dominated by these thugs and anti-human beings, then for the life of me, no wonder your religion is starting to get a bad word around the world, but stand up, but you don't have the guts to stand up. >> eric, thoughts? >> look, there's the other one that's going on in the news now, egypt. president obama is kind of stuck now because remember when hosni mubarak had to go. he had to go. >> an ally. >> our ally. the people of egypt wanted him out, the people have spoken. now that those same people want
11:24 pm
mohammed morsi out, he is what everyone thought here, he was going to be muslim brotherhood extremist, pushing more into muslim brotherhood dictator ship. now president obama, what's he going to do? he is the one that helped facilitate morsi, now he is stuck. what he needs to do, if he was with the people then, has to stay with the people now. get mubarak out. >> like egypt is like iran. >> i'm sorry, get morsi out. >> the green invest lugs. >> charles krauthammer pointed it out last night, another place where president obama stayed on the fence. >> now there's neutrality they're trying to navigate. i think there are a lot of muslims, a lot of americans do business with every day, also in the medical profession. there's a lot of ways to work together. one of those is something bob and i disagree on. students. the only way is to concern to
11:25 pm
have western nations educating younger muslims. i am a big advocate for that. some of the biggest protests in the history of the world are happening now in egypt, it is difficult for america to stay on the sidelines. in some way, maybe that's the right thing to do. >> how do we compete with saudi arabia that spends billions of dollars educating young muslims on wahhabism, which is so anti-west, so dangerous, so radical, and they're just growing. islam is on the march, we are officially in retreat. the time to stand up was on the green revolution. he wasn't on the fence, wasn't even outside, he was in the basement hiding. >> time to stop calling saudi arabia an ally, call them what they are, antagonist of the united states. >> eric had a couple huge interviews with rush limbaugh and glenn greenwald. the only show in history probably that has those two guys together! ♪

unrest and the white house response to obama care and the push. rush has a theory on the president's urgency to sell the health plan. >> turns out they're having problems selling obama care. they're having so much problems selling obama care, they're actually turning to school kids, turning to librarians, nfl, nba, et cetera. what about it, rush? can this thing survive? >> eric, it is going to survive. it is law of the land. i don't think -- it will survive, but i think it is going to implode on it self. why are they selling it? it is the law of the land. i tell you why they're selling it, 2014 mid terms. >> he brought up 2014 mid terms. there it is. >> they've got to sell it, no one likes it. a third of people think it has been repealed. think about what they're doing to try and educate people on obama care. they're basically shaking down these organizations. you saw kathleen sebelius do it with insurance companies when she was soliciting donations to

get money to educate people on obama care. they have a huge problem on their hands and they know it. i still don't think roping in the nfl and players is going to help them fix the pr problem they have. >> they need young people. >> i tell you, one of the reasons they have to sell it now, they didn't sell it in the beginning. that was one of the big problems. now they have to catch up. it has a lot to do with 2014. not everybody dislikes it. and it is the law of the land. a lot to be perfected, but it will be the law of the land, try to make it work. if they don't do a better job of selling it, it will cost people at the polls in 2014. >> they didn't sell it in the beginning because they didn't want to sell it, because if they sold it, everybody would know what a sham it was. that's why nobody read it. it was a national enema. we had no choice. now they're trying to sell something they still aren't even clear on, so they need a program to sell a program, now they need a program to sell those two programs. >> are enemas covered under obama care? >> unfortunately no. >> you sound like you know for sure. >> i checked in on it recently,

why i have the imodium here. >> it is the opposite. >> this is the anti. >> i agree with bob. rush says it is going to be the law of the land. if you're in the administration, you've got to try. they're trying everything that they can. but something that's a problem for them is that the realities of the bill are catching up to them before they get off the ground. today, united health care announces they're pulling out of private insurance market in california, one of the largest markets in the country. what does that mean? it gives lie to if you like the plan, you can keep it. that company will probably be vilified by the administration, i would imagine, but they're probably making the best economic decision. >> undercut by the government. >> i was going to say in addition to what dana said, they promised premiums would go down,
