in for greg gutfeld who is back tomorrow. greg is spending a few days visiting his delightful mother. if you haven't seen your mother call her. she loves and you misses you. wait until after the show. or wait until morning. you can't call your mother this late. she will panic. what is wrong with you? anyway, let's welcome our guest. i am here with joanne. and look, no, i want to look at neck. it is nick gillespie, editor and chief of "-- reason.com and reason tv. next to me is the daily caller will ron. >> o block. the -- a block. the lede. that's the first story. >> i'm so pumped i'm driving fast tomorrow. april fool's. >> being a cheerleader just get weirder? the nfl teamed up with a new app that will allow fans to
12:02 am
get new perks at the stadium including an in seat visitor from a cheerleader. instead of distantly viewing at the beauties you can force them to walk up to peanut heaven to give them a hug by using your phone. and you didn't have to get her number first, nick. and of course there will be rules of conduct when a cheerleader visits you. most notably, do not be aggressive, b-e-aggressive. it is part of an effort to increase fan experience to compete with the ever improving home viewing experience. we asked a fan for comment. >> a cup actually has a 10-foot circumference. will, cheerleaders going to
12:03 am
the seats, bad idea or worst idea ever? >> different. i would say that if you are paying to have a cheerleader come up to your seat you are admitting defeat in the game of life. i think you can picture the guy who is like shelling out the money to do something like this. he is like the middle aged suburban jock, past his prime. >> i can hear you. >> you aren't a jock. >> he said jock. >> i am often called a jock. >> it is the leather jacket. >> you can picture that guy. he has his wife up there of 20 years and she is watching him awkwardly hit on the 18-year-old. it is sad. the story is sad. >> it kind of is. jay nick -- >> nick, as a furry you would prefer a visit from the team mascot. >> we are pre engaged. >> it is exclusive or could you be visited by other mascots? >> on my end it is not
12:04 am
exclusive. >> i hope he knows that. what do you make of this? >> i think it is incredibly disturbing and to br ng it back to philadelphia, i want to see how the eagles fans -- that's the acid test. that is where the cheerleader lap dance goes wrong. or a series of long drawn out police chases and fires. >> eagles, jets and raiders, i am not entirely sure if i would being -- be going into the stands. >> the cheerleaders they are trying to get them to wear the football helmet and eye patch. it would finish the look. >> you have an interesting fetish. >> it is not a fetish. >> cheerleaders are basically already paid nothing. is this rubbing salt in their wounds to make them do this? >> it won't be salt. but it will be rubbing. >> it is. and they will be pouring liquor on there and it burns. the alcohol is terrible.
12:05 am
what is it going to be? how much for a hug, for an autograph or a selfie? i am worried about the security in that as expect, but otherwise it is great for these guys who need the picture to feel validated. >> the cheerleader will come and visit you and pretend to like you and then leave and go have 6 with the quarterback. so really it is like high school all over again. >> exactly like that. i am against it though not moralely. i am against anything that could have people standing up against me. i am not into the t-shirt gun. i assume it is selfies and inappropriate drunk people trying to touch cheerleaders. it all involves standing. >> in addition to the cheerleaders there are other experiences you can get with this app. you can get on to the field pre game. you can get into the coach's
12:06 am
post game interview. is this another step of catering to the rich people and people that can't afford it shouldn't bother? >> i can't express how little i care. i cannot get worked up about sports in the slightest. >> well thanks for coming on. >> it is sports for an hour so so -- i think the best experience though is just sitting on your couch and getting pizza delivered to you and spending the same amount of money on that stadium beer on a six-pack. you can drink it all. you can be in yoga pants or whatever you want and there you go. it is fun. >> as i said, they are doing this because increasingly -- i don't -- >> i don't even own a tv. ever since the cricket league went out of business, you know. and i am spending most of the weekend polishing my monicle.
12:07 am
12:10 am
>> the love of her life got away. >> sounds like you do. >> it is more like she realizes her daughter is going out with you. >> you are my nemesis. >> i thought you guys were just kidding about that. >> apparently i don't know where it comes from. >> you know. >> afterwards. >> so, but this is a woman who never hears bad news it seems like. she is completely insulated from the reality of law. that makes sense when you think about all of the troubles with the rollout. this is somebody who is surrounded by yes people. when you confront her with a bad piece of information the screen goes blank. >> let's talk about the sugar daddy tweet. bad idea, or should they have stood by it and not deleted
12:11 am
it? >> i loved it. i liked how they tried to h squeeze in as many topics to appeal to young people. it is like # buzzer beater. that was trending during the ncaa. get covered because you don't want to do an epic fail. i love it. i would subscribe to that feed. >> i agree. joanne, was this just maybe a poor attempt at trying to sound young and hip by saying something incredibly young and hip like sugar daddy? >> the sugar daddy website works though. there was their flaw. that's why they deleted the tweet. they realized it. i don't know why i know that website works. it does. >> is that the candy or something else? do you even know there was a candy called sugar daddy? >> i did use the name candy. >> all right. this is getting as awkward as the sebelius interview.
12:12 am
i watched the president speak about health care and he said something i thought was interesting. obamacare is the law and it is not going to be repealed. i guess that's how our system of government works once there is a law, there is nothing anyone can do about it. >> they just actually changed the law at the last second to make it unrepealable. >> good for them. >> it is the weirdest law in american history in that it is not actually a law they can just change everything about it on the fly. i mean, when was the last team team -- you might know this. we never had a law in american history where the administration can unilaterally step in and say that thing, it is not there anymore. >> the law of gravity? >> it has been repealed. >> chuck yager. thank you very much. >> we will cut that out. we love chuck y a ager "red
12:13 am
eye." it looks like no more werthers for the wee ones. the u.s. department of agriculture wants grandparents to give their grandkids hugs in assisted of sweets and teach them to eat healthier. only in obama's america. the usda urges wrinkly relatives to serve things like baby carrots and string cheese and read government bedtime stories to them about nutrition. specifically something called a two-bite club which is about a family of cats that uses government charts to determine its food intake. it has been made into a movie. i think we have a preview.
12:14 am
♪ >> that is the weirdest sader ever. you said in the green room that this country would be better off if more parents read government bedtime stories to their kids. that shocked me. >> it needs to be mandated. i was pushing for the three bite club. now that it is a two bite club i am not interested. i am taking my bites and going home. this is a nightmare for all sorts of reasons. among other things it shows how obama is detached from reality. the whole point of being a grand parent as i understand it is you get to feed your grandkids all of the crap their parents are constantly trying to keep them from eating. it is just another horrible thing gone wrong. >> isn't nick right? grand parents are supposed to spoil grand kids. that's their job, right? >> yes, and when you read the book there is a pdf of the book on-line. i read the book and it was like talking to your kids and
12:15 am
seeing if you could convince them to eat vegetables. take two bites and see if you like it. i didn't realize that is what parenting is. if my mom wrote that book it would say eat every bite or i will hit you with a soup ladel. i don't think convincing they them to like vegetables will work. >> is it an awful idea or not a bad thing to encourage grand parents to be aware of their grandkids' health? >> it is a great thing to teach kids about learning healthy habits and making the right choices and incorporating foods with lots of colors into their diet. that's where a lot of nutrition comes from. to preach this, it is not going to help these kids. they can't prepare meals themselves. they are not going to pick vegetables from their own garden. if the parents and the grandparents are not partaking in these activities and they are not taking all of that advice into their own lifestyle, then it is not going to help the kids. >> that's a fair point.
12:16 am
unless maybe the kids are picking vegetables from their own gardens and you don't know because you are out of touch. >> that's very possible. i don't have children. >> do you have a garden? >> i don't have a garden. i am under privileged. >> she says this is not a bad thing, but is this possibly -- this is just a theory i have, but is this part of a government plot to make kids love their grandparents less so then the kids won't listen to them when the parents want them not to get on the bus to the fema camp? >> whoa. interesting, but no. >> we disagree i guess. >> i think this is totally harmless. read the book to your kids or grandkids. maybe they will grow up healthier. they are not going to be smart because no literal person would read a government
12:17 am
bedtime story to their kid with the other options. they are probably not working with the best genetic material. maybe they will learn about yogurt. >> i wonder if these books were in the japanese internment camps that obama refuses to denounce in a supreme court battle ging on right now. all seriousness, inside and not aside, but why is the government spending time on this? this is ridiculous. i don't mean to be the house libertarian, but for god sake we are like 100% plus of gdp in debt. this is the kind of stuff where we have a kind of animatronic health and human services secretary who nobody has heard of or seen. come on. this is ridiculous. >> at the same time, it is a family of cats. >> i gotta go, but i figured it out why they used a family of cats instead of people in this book.
12:18 am
it is to avoid picking an ethnicity for the people. i swear, i know that is true. they didn't want to offend anybody by picking one ethnicity for the family. so they said we'll make it cats and nobody can get offended. that's my theory. don't disagree with me. it is my show. coming up, will a staring role in "magic mike 2" lead to more tv and movies, andy levy? probably not. should parents be taxed less? this goes out to my baby mamas out there.
12:21 am
12:22 am
for those child less. with the cost of raising a child at $300,000 or 18 years they feel the extreme cost placed on parents will hurt childrens' futures. parents also face other challenges that nonparents don't. for an infant, child less parents can put their income to things like savings and video games. where people with children lose their entire social life and are filled with regret and longing. so should single people like me pay so there could be more of these monsters in the world? >> greg's movies get weirder and weirder. >> i am going to agree. i think i may be the only
12:23 am
parents on the panel. i happen to know salom and i think this was a desperate bid on his part to get laid. >> really? >> yes. she catering to people, to parents and he knows they have at least had 6 once and maybe they will do it again. >> will this piss off single ladies? >> he is not going for the single ladies. he has all of the single ladies in the world, and that has not worked obviously. the evidence is the story itself. i think this is ridiculous, and i say this as a parent who pays a lot in taxes, parents already get all types of tax breaks. we get the love of our children and the anger of our children which i could really start to talk about at length, but i will bracket that for now. it is ridiculous. children cost more on society. parents willingly take that on and they should pay more in taxes rather than less. how many kids do you have at the local school? >> none. i think. >> yeah. the only reason the local
12:24 am
school exists is because of people like me. >> none of my kids are at the local schools. salom says i have come to the conclusion i should pay higher taxes so working parents can pay lower taxes. i think that is great. if he wants to pay higher taxes, i think he should. >> like he should volunteer? >> absolutely. gad for him. good for him. >> a limited defense of this idea, we will have to grapple at some point in the future with declining birthrates. >> what are we grappling with? >> well, you associate young populations. young populations is where you get your entrepreneurs and your innovators in society. they will have to pay out the entitlement. >> they are leaders of tomorrow, but more importantly the taxpayers and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. if way have a pop -- and if we have a population that starts to shrink -- >> by the way, there are lots
12:25 am
of countries that have tried to incenti vies people to have more kids by giving them money. it hasn't worked. it is a big failure. but if people want to give me money -- >> you are all for it? okay. some people can't have kids because of medical conditions so wouldn't the plan punish them for something that is not their fault? >> i didn't think about that. that's awful. that's mean. and how embarrassing would it for them to realize their higher tax rates are going to pay for some animated book about getting your children to eat two bites. >> i think we agree the impotents should pay a higher tax. >> how do they test that? >> i don't know. >> joe -- joanne, for somebody headed for a solitary life does the thought of higher taxes scare you?
12:26 am
>> i can't wait for the solitary life. the tax thing, so getting married and having kids is a choice one would assume in this country. i might just make the choice to not get married or have kids. why should i then have to pay for your choices which is a lot of what this government is now which is very unfortunate. you brought up the point about women who can't conceive. i pay taxes for public schools in new york. why should i have to give you more? and if he does want to, i don't know, offer his extra earnings just donate to a nonprofit or just sponsor a family or something. the whole having to make everyone do it, that's what bothers me. >> he writes, big go of the is here to stay whether i like it or not. someone has to pay for it. that somebody should be me and people like me. >> that's a weird attitude for a conservative.
12:27 am
>> i like a lot of the stuff he has written over the years. >> he is probably wrong. >> or is he being realistic. >> think about the problems he didn't get into. you talk about people who just can't have kids. >> they could adopt i suppose. >> yeah, but, you know, that's one thing they have to look at. there is an incentive structure where you have a huge comek reason -- economic reason to have as many kids as possible. it will lead to stability if that's why people are having kids. it is not for the country as a whole as a result of this law. >> i completely agree. i think we all agree. good, we can move on. coming up, i reveal the identity of the winter soldier. spoiler alert, it is me. not really. i am more of a spring soldier. is being okay cupid being okay
12:31 am
12:32 am
equal rights for gay couples. we will therefore prefer they not use software to access ok cupid. ike donated a thousand dollars that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. is ok could you ped more righteous? the co-founder donated money in 2004 to a former congressman who voted in favor of a constitutional ban on gay marriage. nick, what is your take on this? okay cupid or not okay cupid. >> i think it is great. they are not forcing anybody to do anything. they are not saying let's get the government in here and have like a big meeting where we all have to vote and force everybody to live the way we want to. they didn't even block people from using fire fox to get to ok cupid. they just said come on, don't use it. and then the other thing i think they may be in cahoots with is the only reason i use fire fox for the first time in five years was because of this
12:33 am
storm. i think they were getting a click through. >> they are calling out ike for something he did six years ago. i suspect he hasn't changed. shouldn't they talk to him before they do that a? >> i think this is part of a larger, disturbing trend. it is more successful and moving away from the live and let live libertarian origins to something that is darker and more authoritarian and intolerant of dissent. >> how is it intolerant? i agree with you. it would have been good to say do you still -- are you still on that kick and whatnot, but it is no different than chick fillet which closes on sundays and they advertise their christian beliefs because a lot of people might find that positive or whatever. i don't see any problem here. i think it is transparent.
12:34 am
>> what i have a problem with is they have ruled this person is in -- it is in this -- he is an evil, bigot because he donated a thousand dollars to a cause that still has a broad base of support in american life. it is dangerous when you are deciding that everybody in this country is against gay marriage and they are therefore homophobic. >> i understand what you are saying, but i think one of the great things is they don't even go that far. it is just we would rather you not do business with them. >> remi, what do you think? >> i don't necessarily disagree with the guy's ideology. to me i am looking and it seemed like it was less about politics and more about publicity. he is more than one guy. there has to be tons of guys
12:35 am
working there. his opinion about gay marriage does not speak for everybody. the okay cupid guy has to know that. it doesn't block the users from accessing the site. it is not a real cutoff. it struck me as more of a publicity stunt than a true boycott. >> do you think the ok cupid users who use fire fox, will they care about this or will they be more annoyed they have to add an extra click to get to the site? >> no one likes a pop up these days. anything that gets in the way of what you are trying to do, what it does is causes more of an aggravation or an insight. i am big on human rights and i should love this is out there, but i just get really pros straighted by this -- i get really us frustrated. i don't believe the ceo's beliefs are affecting people on ok cupid.
12:36 am
they are not being harmed by this person. it is creating mountains out of mole hills. >> i think we are getting to a point we are in a post scarcity economy. it is tedious where everything has to be fair trade or free trade or slave trade. no, i i only want blood diamonds, take these away. it is a way that -- people use what they buy and sell as a way to talk about what they believe in. i actually like this. in the libertarian circles we talk about disciplining people in the market. if you don't like the way somebody does business or their attitudes, you go someplace else. this is a peaceful way to start a conversation. hopefully it is one more interesting than this one. >> on tuesday some mozilla employees said ike should step down as ceo.
12:37 am
should they be fired? >> generally if you are in a corporation and if i tweeted that my boss should leave and was serious about that -- well i work at the the daily caller so it is a different environment. but in most companies if you go against the ceo, you are going to be met with some reprecussion s. i have to say that blood diamonds are the best diamonds. i mean, you can tell is what i'm saying. >> can you? there is something wrong with you. next topic, it is an invention to keep people at bars from staring at their stupid phones. the off line beer glass, catchy name, was lawfned in june. the story is old, but -- >> it's new to us! >> advertisers in brazil, a country named after a a bikini wax which in my opinion is painful developed the beer
12:38 am
glass that has a chunk cut out of its base that can only stand while resting on a cell phone. meaning you can't look at your phone while drinking at the bar. remi, this is a great idea. using your phone as a coaster and what could be smarter than that? >> give a bunch of drunk people a glass that can't stand. you know what is more annoying than a bunch of bar patrons typing on the phone? broken glass every where. count me as not a fan. >> in a weird way, could this encourage you to check your phone? you would have to have your phone out as opposed to it being in a pocket. >> that's great. a lot of people who are at bars and they put their phones down, they leave it on the bar. that's how phones get stolen. i have had to deal with this when i bar tended before. there was a guy that would come in and take phones. this way you know if someone took it. your beer falls over. everything is wet and my phone is gone. but your phone is still gone.
12:39 am
it doesn't prevent it. it is cool. >> the thing is, nick, if you have two hands you can still hold the glass in one hand and text with the other hand. this is discriminatory against people with one hand. >> >> or hooks or prosthetics. what about a phone dome? americans created the foam dome. and then you have both hands. >> you don't get laid with that on. >> the night is young. >> why not just make the bar into a giant cage so no electronic signals can get in or out. >> i am the wrong with something wrong, okay. >> there is a reason we have evolved to use our phones at the bar and that's because, and we all know this, but random bar stranger con conversations, some of the times are good, but 60, 70, 80% of the time they are terrible.
12:40 am
you do not have to talk to the troubled teenager on his first bender. you have something else to do. it allows you to enjoy alcohol at a bar the way it is meant to be enjoyed. in the dark and by yourself. >> i don't disagree with mi of that. i don't disagree with any of that. does anyone want to disagree? that's what i thought. time for a break. a performance from tonight's musical guest.
12:44 am
toward women and men. let's have a look, look havers. >> you have yourself a lovely day. >> that color really works on you. have a productive day. >> i would like to show you the respect you deserve. >> what do you want? quality. >> what do we want? >> quality. >> what don't we want? >> disgusting. somebody at policy expressed my feelings exactly. quote, on the one hand the women are naive props and shocked that men would treat them with respect. on the other hand the men are
12:45 am
portrayed as idiotic and disgusting disgusting and predator y'all in their natural state. i thought the ad -- >> do i have to go first? >> never mind. remi, i thought the ad was pretty funny, actually, but was it problematic as we would say these days? >> i didn't say anything too problematic. i thought it was in good fun and it is nice to know that australian construction workers are similar to the construction workers domestically. i don't know how i feel about -- it seems like more and more companies are doing the commercials where they prank the unsuspecting people. there was the haunted elevator and the coffee shop. >> it doesn't smell at all like a torture chamber. >> it seemed like it was in good fun. >> is this more offensive to women or men? >> everybody is so sensitive.
12:46 am
>> let me make it it worse. australian men are idiotic and disgusting and flat out predator y'all. i am not sure preditorial is a word. if you don't read me -- if you don't believe me read more about tazmanian history. >> we will have to drop all of that for obvious reasons. i will say though that what is more offensive in this ad -- it is not most offensive to women or men, but it is the fact that it conforms to outdated notions of gender and it is sexist and heteronormative. >> i think i blacked out there for a second. >> should we not jumping this too harshly? >> the australians, report they still -- aren't they still criminals? it is a bad gene pool to start with. >> stop it. >> i am just glad to see an australian ad that is not about foster's or paul hogan
12:47 am
or shrimps on barbies. >> you claim to be a woman though we have no proof. were you upset by this? should women be upset by this? >> i was upset i didn't have a snicker's with me. when was the last time you had one. they are delicious. unless you are allergic to peanuts, then i'm sorry. i thought this was funny. i thought it was super great. in some of the other commercials they had a football coach who turned into robin williams and somebody turns into betty white. >> they turn from betty white. >> that's what i mean. when they are hungry they turn into a celebrities who are out there. i think that's -- it is a compliment. we are complimenting hungry construction workers. >> people #r sensitive about all sorts of stuff including peanut allergies. you and i are the only people born in
12:48 am
the 19th century. where were all of the peanut allergies? our kids and classmates with peanut allergies didn't make it. >> they died on the way to school. >> really is just so sensitive all of the time. >> but i get the point that what this ad is saying -- like all of the other ads show people acting worse when they are hungry. this is the one ad that shows them acting better. >> >> so it is an attack on construction workers. >> should we as men feel like offended by this? is this like a manly thing to say, hey, don't go after our gender? >> i have written several strongly worded letters about that subject. >> once to "cosmo." >> less exhausting.
12:49 am
12:53 am
>> coming up tomorrow on the next "red eye." greg is back. we have les gold and bonnie mcfarland. >> e block. last story. that's the last stir. that's the last story. >> getting down on one knee comes with a fee. at least if you do it at the ballpark, yes as baseball season begins so do the slew of ballgame proposals. and some website dug up how much it costs. $fest will buy you a -- $50 will buy uh scoreboard message at the braves stadium. you can feel the love in a package that includes four tickets, champagne and a commemorative dvd.
12:54 am
and the dodgers will help you dodge a no with their $2500 live video board proposal. some stadiums don't offer public proposals to which i suggest a soft pretzel. do you think the the proposals #r hot like cotton candy or cheesy like nachos? >> it depends if you have a sweet tooth or want something salty. >> nobody does. >> it is hard to remember the remember the woman in the proposal. if a guy is like, i love baseball. it is opening day. we are going to the game. two birds and one giant stone. no. if it is something you shared together it would be a good story for the grandkids. >> i think it is important to point out the $250 at the philadelphia, phillies game it
12:55 am
would go to the fanatics. just know that. >> he has the tongue. there is just no competing. >> does that put a strain on your relationship? >> it is what keeps us through the tough times. if your fiancee and i don't care if it is a man or woman or mascot proposes to you at a ballpark, run like hell. that is a no go. that's ridiculous. >> do you agree with that, will? >> we talked a lot about how taxes can influence human behavior. i know i am at a table full of far right anti-government extremists. >> militia members. >> but i believe if we actually tax this we could actually solve some behaviors. dc is one of the things for over a thousand dollars you can do this. i want him to show it off to
12:56 am
his soon to be fiancee. he has to pay a $5,000 back tax. >> is it tax deductible? it goes to charity. i am just saying. >> that's a good question. you should have found the answer to that question. some don't do proposals. that's including city field the home of my beloved and awful mets. do they have the right idea? >> i believe they do have the right idea. my home team, the baltimore oriels who i grew up watching, they don't do it as well. it is such a awful idea to propose at a sporting event, but i also love the proposal, so it is weird. they are so incredibly unromantic that if a woman says yes to you, it has to be true love. she can't possibly like it, but she loves you so much that she will say yes and i think those marriages are set. >> we are going to end on that up note. a special thanks to joanne and
12:57 am
1:00 am
hello, everyone. i'm dana perino along with andrea tantaros, bob beckel, eric bolling, and jesse waters. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." this is a fox news alert. moments ago, president obama delivered a statement from the rose garden heralding his administration's latest figures on the affordable care act. >> last night, the first open enrollment period under this law came to an end. and despite several lost weeks out of the gates because of problems with the website, 7.1 million americans have now signed up for private insurance plans through these marketplaces. nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of america's
