10:02 pm
obama care. >> obama care isn't working,able not only isn't it working, it s is -- not working fast enough. >> now, senator cruz has a new target. >> president obama has said that the day after the budget d.c. made he's going to come up on immigration. yeah. yes. says he'll start by deporting ted cruz. up front tonight, was the frenzy worth it? >> i would do anything, and i will continue to do anything i can, to stop the train wreck that is obama care. did the cruz missile, it's unchastened by the disaster he has brought on the republican party? should he be? is he now the real captain of the gop ship? to debate and discuss that point with me in boston, america's most famous lawyer alan dershowitz joins us. professor dershowitz, welcome onboard. taking the stand, his big hit autobiography out now. here at home base we welcome the
10:03 pm
co-host of "the five" my best frenemy, eric bolling joins us. so should he be -- >> first of all, can i -- you're pointing a finger at ted cruz for something you perceive that, as terrible. right? i think there's a whole group of the american conservative base that says ted cruz stood up, stood up what we believe in, did the right thing. not the way you painted it. as a disaster that he oversought or captained, instead of what it really was. it was an enlightening moment for the american people. they found out who are conservatives and who aren't on the right. second part of your question, the new de facto leader of the republican party. i don't think so. i think he showed the american people that the right has two factions. establishment right and conservative right and i think the real leaders may be the ones who are playing the background, rand paul, chris christie, marco rubio. with you but never came forward and made themselves as local and
10:04 pm
obvious at ted cruz did. watch for those three. >> you said he was flirting with acting in an unconstitutional manner, senator ted cruz. do you still believe that and you can also follow-up on what eric said. >> ted was my student. a brilliant student. always very, very principled. came into my class with his right-hand raise and never put it down and he doesn't surprise me. i think he is a man of principle. i think move on, the left wing organization that yesterday announced they want to indict people on the right, people who are republicans, people involved in this are absurd. i would be thrilled to defend ted cruz or any of the other republicans on the right, though i disagree with them. their punishment will come from the electorate, not the crim gnat justice system. ted cruz and others are the greatest gift to the democratic party. your previous guess was right. it shows division among republicans and americans according to polls don't like what they see about the
10:05 pm
republicans. they don't like people who want to shut down the government. so i think this is a political debate. it should be played out politically, not in a legal system. and i think in the end, cruz will lose. and he will hurt the republicans. and in one way he may not care, because she a man of principle, and he wants to do the right thing. if a new president kennedy were to write a book called "profiles in courage" ted cruz may fit into the that book. he is a profile in courage. 's although on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of what best for america, but she a man of principle. >> with all due respect, i absolutely acknowledge his constitutional understanding, and knowledge, but i would have to say, stay out of the economics boardroom, because that's where you're failing. there was no risk of default. there was never a risk of default. we've taken $250 billion a month, service our get, it says we have to in our constitution,
10:06 pm
i agree with. service our debt to the tune of $24 billion. there is no fiscal chance we would ever default. so -- >> there was nobody -- >> you can't take a chance with the american economy. >> of course you can. how are you going to default when you take in ten times more than what servicing your debt costs? it's not going to happen. >> it's a matter of perception. a matter of what the world, the economy thinks about us, and perception has made america the laughingstock of the rest of the world. >> disagree. you know why i disagree? the bond market disagrees, the stock market, all the markets. the global markets, all global, disagree with you vehemently. new highs in the s&p. please. >> no resolution. >> what it costs to borrow. it you're right and the left is right, all of these thing s woud be happening. double to borrow money from china. >> wait a second. it did -- >> hold on, though.
10:07 pm
>> back below before the whole shut down. you lefties in the media and all that, professors, blow a big horn saying -- >> all of academia. i love the way you're scientific. >> okay. wait -- >> bottom line, no disaster, and never a threat of disaster. >> professor -- >> got it. >> now, wait a second. here's my question. it costs me -- cost the american taxpayer $24 billion. in other words, $24 billion because of the shutdown was added to the deficit that the right is constantly complaining about. it comes to $70 per head. i'm the father of five children. ted cruz cost me that $350, plus $140 for me, erica, my wife and everybody else i support. is fiscally responsible for a conserve toiv do something that cost the treasury money? >> i'm laughing. liberals talking fiscal
10:08 pm
responsibility now. president obama tacked on -- so far, has tacked on almost $7 trillion in debt. all the debt, if you add up all the debt between george washington and george bush, doesn't even include, couldn't even exceed the $7 trillion that president obama put out. >> i have to tell you, it's worth -- can i say something here? >> has to be calculated. >> hold it there. professor dershowitz, you'll get your chance for rebuttal. folks, later in the show we're probe the latest screw-up by the justice department involving the transfer of, get this, hand grenade, to mexican drug dealers, and we'll meet the could be who unravelled the baby hope mystery, right after this. bold has a huge imagination.
10:09 pm
a playground of innovation, color, and design. showing up where we least expect it. and taking inspiration from our wildest dreams. because kohler doesn't see the world in fixtures and faucets. it reimagines. coloring our lives in ways only bold could do, it's no wonder the world can't wait to see what kohler does next.
10:10 pm
10:11 pm
continuing with the co-host of "the five" here at fox, eric bolling and professor alan dershowitz, chasing at the bit
10:12 pm
to respond. the obama administration charged with breaking the bank when it comes to obama care and the federal budget. professor, you're on. >> number one, health care is the best thing that's happened to this country during my adult life. to finally, finally, we're becoming a first world country. when it comes to telling people that there's not going to be pre-existing conditions that will disqualify them, that they're not going to have to give up personal doctors if they want to pay for them, but that every american like every person in massachusetts has the right to health care. the united states constitution provides for the general welfare. are you now saying that the commerce clause would not allow -- the united states supreme court, even chief justice roberts, upheld it, under the commerce laws and under the taxing power. you can have that debate. you don't engage in extortion shut down the government and on the other side, the left shouldn't engage in threatening
10:13 pm
this conduct, threatening the way move on does. >> i challenge -- >> the extremes. right and extremes of the left -- >> i challenge you -- >> eric bolling -- >> i challenge you to show me in a document where it says that the government can tell me i have to buy a good or service? and the way they it and got around it, was by instead of calling it a fee they called it a tax. >> i'll tell you where it's at. the same provision of the constitution that says your child has to be vaccinated. the same provision. constitution that says your son has to serve in the armed forces. we sometimes have to compel people to do things that they may not choose to do in the general interests of the united states. here you're being compelled to do something -- >> i totally disagree. >> your comment was that senator cruz upheld the american --the hostages, whatever terms you used. >> extortion. >> fine. extortion, great. same thing. so what are fiscal conservatives supposed to do?
10:14 pm
if congress holds the checkbook? >> in an election -- run. win elections. >> hold on. finish your point. >> the constitution, gives a checkbook, the pen to write the checks to congress, and congress is -- to the house, and the house is held by republicans, and republicans want to say before i sign up another trillion or two or three trillion in debt i want to discuss how we spend that trillion or two or three in debt. how america spends it. why? they're playing by the rules, sir. >> absolutely. let me tell you how other countries now deal with this. for example, recently in israel they tried to do the same thing and passed a new statute saying if the knesseknesset, the congr refuses to country the government automatically certain things come into play. that's the way it should work here. either side should not be able to extort. i don't apreserve of the filibuster or in -- i believe in democracy. that means you run for election.
10:15 pm
>> and people write a check -- >> let me finish. >> -- harvard have you teach your it children constitutional lauer? you're basically saying -- >> you can do -- >> as long as i -- >> god bless you. >> all right. hold it. i'm going to -- >> you can have -- >> i'm going to impose my moderator's position here, because we're running out of time. i finally want to ask, i mentioned immigration reform. ted cruz has a soft target with immigration reform. don't you agree, eric, he can sabotage president obama's aspiration and in doing so damage gop prospects, because latino voters won't go to the republican party? >> i'm interested to hear what ted cruz's full plan is and as well what marco rubio's plan is. i have an alternate plan. talking about the privatized -- >> i have an idea, geraldo. >> if want to let the 11 million people here stay here, fine. when they turn 18, or 30, have to serve a year in the military. >> a good idea.
10:16 pm
>> and in terms of immigration reform? the president -- >> immigration reform one of the most important things we have in this country. i wouldn't be here today, geraldo. you wouldn't be here today. half of the nobel prize winners wouldn't be here. many of my family came here illegally during the holocaust, became great and wonderful citizens. we are a nation of immigrants. let's maintain that tradition and keep or borders open, consistent with national security, the safety and welfare of this country. so i welcome the obama plarch and oppose the cruz plan. >> and that's the professor. eric, last word. >> senator cruz did everything by the book, sir. the book you teach ensingle day to your students. i apologize if it was rude. i can't believe parents wript checks to harvard to have their kids learn constitutional law. >> apologized then said it again. >> your interpretation of the constitution varies vastly and widely from mine. >> my friend eric bolling. love being on tv with that guy
10:17 pm

10:19 pm
10:20 pm
this grenade thing just shows how grossly incompetent atf is, if you needed another reason. i mean, you have a guy who openly admitted he was providing iuds, grenades, explosives to mexican drug cartels but they let him go. >> they let him go. supplying hand grenades, fast and furious, the ak-47s dumb it idea for the atf. with the bureau more than 25 year, the agent who blew the whistle on fast and furious.
10:21 pm
and now vince apparently turning the other cheek as the bad guys in mexico are getting and using hand grenades that come from the united states. how in the world did this thing happen? >> well, it was just a comedy of errors under the same vacuum of leadership that was going on. it wasn't part and parcel of fast and furious investigation. it was -- it was dynamic in its own way, but clearly, the leadership of the phoenix field division at the time that was responsible for fast and furious did not enhance our abilities to prevent the componentry from going into mexico. that's a fact. >> all right tell me about this guy. he had grenades, or grenade parts, and he walked the grenade parts into mexico, reassembled them, gave them to the mexican drug cartel and the atf knew about it? is that a fact?
10:22 pm
>> well, that's -- that's a stretch of some of the facts. he definitely had some of the componentry, the bodies. which in and of itself not illegal in the united states, but clearly would have and did, in fact, for some of our agent, raise huge red flags when they wanted to act on it they were prevented from doing so. and -- you know, with limited legal justification, since they aren't illegal in the united states as an individual component. against the better judgment of the at tatache in mexico who dit want to participate, they went across the border, were later assembled and we know from the significant incident report this week that they're reassembled into destructive device and used in a pretty major shootout last week. >> what's the idea? why in the world are we allowing grenade components to go to mexico and into the hands of the
10:23 pm
drug cartel? is the idea that they get the grenades and use the grenades, so we know who's using the grenades, so they kill people with our stuff and then what? >> no. that -- that goes back to the fast and furious philosophy, and we know how that turned out. this particular case, there was some, again, you had a -- a rogue leadership in the phoenix field division with the support of atf headquarters not wanting to rein them in. the agents were fully prepared to go ahead and seize those componentries, and let them deal with the consequences or explain his purposes, but there was such a vacuum and lack of communication and refusal of phoenix bosses to cooperate with the attache in mexico who prishgt predicted this would happen, it fell apart. it's a failure of leadership is what it was. no way the agents were going to
10:24 pm
allow that to happen. >> vince, stand by. radio host j.d. hayworth, former republican congressman from arizona joins us. what is this? vince isic maing distinctions here. is this fast and furious 2.0? haven't we learned anything? >> here's what's going on, and i appreciate vince's focus on atf. let's also understand what was at work here. the united states attorney who put all of this into motion, the former right-hand man or should i say left-hand man of janet napolitano, played an active role not only in fast and furious but it appears his fingerprints are all over this decision not to go after batiste, the guy dealing with hand grenades. an unwillingness to prosecute from this justice department and to complete the fast and furious 2.4, geraldo, you're taking a look at something where president obama has lowered a
10:25 pm
protective curtain of executive privilege over attorney general eric holder, as for secretary napolitano, she, of course, is not absconded to california running the uc system, and i guess the lesson to be learned is, open borders, illegals and lawlessness on our border with mexico and weapons smuggling into mexico in the perverse notion somehow you can reflect unfavorably on law abiding americans exercising their second amendment rights, the fast and furious from the crowd in charge right now, and dennis burk, janet napolitano, eric holder and president obama have not been held accountable. >> j.d., obviously, putting a political spin on this. >> no. that's not a political spin, geraldo. >> i got it. i heard the -- i heard you. >> richard nixon had said it was executive privilege that covered all of watergate, you would have been livid. it is not political --
10:26 pm
>> i'm livid enough. livid enough, congressman. let me give vince the last word before we run out of time. i know you've got a lawsuit with the atf. can you give me a few seconds how that's going? >> yeah. it still boils back down to nobody who had their hands in the decisions of fast and furious or any of the debacles that we exposed through our collective interviews and whistle-blowing has suffered at all. not one person has been fired or demoted. the architect, the gentleman who lied to congress went out the door with a gold -- >> i ran out of time, michael, tell us why you used priceline express deals to book this fabulous hotel. well you can see if a hotel is pet-friendly before you book it and i got a great deal without bidding. and where's your furry friend? i don't have a cat. save up to 50% during priceline's fall hotel sale.

you know, as long as you exert a certain amount of control you can do everything. that's not the case. >> myse selfie caused controver, what's your excuse, the title on the handout, the picture showing this mean, lean fitness instructor, mother of three children. she joins us from her home in sacramento. how are you doing? why did you take the picture?
10:53 pm
didn't you know a lot of ladies would say, hey, she's lording over us? >> of course not. who wants any of that feedback. i took the picture i thought it would be motivational for my facebook followers. you see that caps all the time in several different types of inspirational posters. i said here i am, a fit mother. i have three kids 3 and under and i think people will be inspired by this. >> but are you in a way saying, look at me. compare me to you. if you've had all of these young children and you're complaining about body fat or this or that, not getting your body back. then you're -- you just are not working hard enough? >> absolutely not. that's crazy when people say that. i'm saying, you know what? you're a mother, or maybe you're not. here are three symbols of time. my 3-year-old, 2-year-old and 8-month-old. and i can make fitness a priority. my health a priority. at the mother, the role model of your home, make it a priority.
10:54 pm
>> here in the city, the author of a book "the body image survival guide for parents helping toddlers, tweens and teens thrive." marcy is one of maria's many critics, i hate to say. >> maria, you said it. we see images everywhere. that's the problem. we see one type of fitness, one type of beauty. glorified all the time. we assume that the skinniest woman in the room is always the fittest and most muscular guy the strongest. that's mot not always the case. the healthiest are the ones that work well. focus on how our bodies work rather han how they look. you can be in the middle, live with moderation, sometimes eat more, sometimes less, go it the gym when you can or not at all but be active and feel good about that. and when you're feel good about that and then told, what it's your excuse? personally, i want to prefer, had you said, this is my challenge. what challenging you. seems when you're -- what's your excuse? asking them to val date or
10:55 pm
justify their choices. one thing that's really, really important, another thing. why i wrote what i wrote. i'm a bod image advocate. a program called fit versus fiction and talk to kids and talk to parents and i talk to teachers. there are 5-year-olds begging their parents not to send them to school because they think they're too fat to fit in. seventh graders throwing up their lunch in the bathroom and school because they feel they don't live up to our society's unrealistic expectation of beauty. thinking they'll never be thin enough because we don't see enough variety. pe need to show fit bodies come in all shapes and sizes and maybe stot seeing one image. >> maria, your response. >> obviously, a challenge to be in shape. a lot of priorities in my day because i do work and have to take care of my kids and family. but i understand exactly where you're coming from. there is a body image issue in america. there's a weight image in
10:56 pm
america, a health crisis in america. i'm saying it starts at home. it starts at the parents, starts with the mother especially to be a positive role model, to take care of herself, put at least 30 minutes, 20 minutes, something innier day so she can be a good role model for her children and, therefore, their children can be happy and healthy. >> one thing, though. i was you at one point. i was super thin. i was very muscular and a fit mom and would never go back to that, because what i -- i thought i was a great role model getting up extra early to go to the gym and eating really, really clean. i thought that was what i needed. i was showing them how to obsess in calories and overexercise. >> that was your personal experience. the moms i know and especially myself, we're healthy role models and we need more people like myself saying, know what? i'm not going to raise a child and say that i'm unhealthy, because i'm being a good parent. i'm health you because i love my children. >> but healthy -- healthsy how
10:57 pm
our bodies work. one thing. we have to stop shaming people into being skinny and encourage them to be healthy. >> we've normalized overweight people in our society. i think that it's -- kind of -- >> we've normalized overweight people in our society. good point. continued success. thank you for coming in. the book, "the body image survival guide." maria kang you can find on the internet. i started this segment joking about my own selfie, but my point in publishing that, just that you don't have to get crazy but a little fitness makes for a longer, better life, even if you don't ends up looking as lovely and fit as maria. that's it for i'm serious, we compare our direct rates side by side to find you a great deal, even if it's not with us.
