2:00 pm
absolutely there is liberal boois in colleges. i have 3 kids at 3 different universities and they all complain to me about it. >> p don't for get you can catch me, my show varney and company. "the five" is next. hello, i'm eric bolling, along with dana perino, bob beckle, and greg gutfeld, and andrea tantaros, and this is "the five "the five." are you ready for your blood to boil? we the taxpayer handed $178 million in bonuses to these thugs last year. that's outrageous enough. couldn't get any worse, right? wrong. a whopping 2.8 million of those dollars were handed over to irs employees cited for offenses like drug use, making violent threats, fraudulent unemployment benefits claims and misusing
2:01 pm
government credit cards and failing to pay their own taxes and it's not just a few bad apples. there are 2,800 employees who were disciplined in the very same year they received, quote, performance bonuses. you sent this around, didn't you? >> of course. my evening plans is i send everybody emails. one of things i love about this is the idea remember that book everything i needed to know i learned in kindergarten. back in school, if somebody throw a spit ball, the teacher said nobody is getting recess until the thrower raises their hand and you had to sit there and wait. i can understand a bonus structure but when they owe the federal government money and there have been these allegations, they need to fes up to him or make them right. >> 2,800 of them. we're not talking one or two and
2:02 pm
they got paid out the same year they were cited. >> eric, you get off their backs! they have had a rough year. so many hearings which cut into their conferences. who audits the auditor? who audits the white house? it's like asking lynn lindsey lohan to audit her drug dealer? the media is obama's hair harem, the irs is the pit bull. they are safe. we will talk about this for a day and something else will come up that the irs does and we'll forget. >> is it a culture of just looking the other way when bad stuff is going on, especially at the irs? >> you have two america's. the ones that are connected, above the law, that don't have to abide by the rules. the ones that are collecting the taxes from everyone else but not
2:03 pm
paying it themselves. i would assume these employees file very simple w-4s. how are you getting yourself in tax trouble with very simple w-4s? there was a story that i saw that asked whether or not they were getting these bonuses to pay their back taxes, which would be even more appalling, that they are coming to the rescue of people who knowingly did wrongdoing with our money so they can make good on taxes that a lot of us can barely pay. >> bobby, 178,000 dollars. >> my guess it's probably not a big percentage difference of other departments or agencies or businesses. but the irs, it's a bad year for the irs to be getting this story. this is exactly the wrong kind of story to have because of all the problems they have had, but let's keep this in mind. there are a lot of professionals who work in the federal
2:04 pm
government who are very good who can make a lot more money working in the private sector. it's easier to beat up on them. >> i actually don't think that's true anymore. that is not true when you look at all the benefits they get and the retirement compared to what most americans are seeing, which is one of reasons that people were so outraged when scott walker had that fight with the unions up in wisconsin and people start realizing wait, they get all of that, all of those benefits, all those guarantees, and i don't think that that is true anymore. i think -- >> if you think lawyers, tax lawyers make a lot of money out in private practice. >> for an irs agent to not pay his taxes or underreport, isn't that like a bad cop or a dirty scop? >> it's like stupid. >> the irs should stand for i'm really sorry. i paid a butt load of taxes. my checks were returned with
2:05 pm
insufficient postage. it arrived april 15th and it said insufficient postage. >> do you use the stamps that you put on the original? >> they marked it up so i couldn't use it. >> i think it's post marked april 15th. i think we'll find out. speaking of d.c. shenanigans, harry reid has been making a fool of himself on and off the floor. >> terrible dishonesty of these two brothers are about as unamerican as anyone i can imagine. these people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. they are nothing more than domestic terrorists. >> now, listen. harry reid is so dirty and so unethical that some of these things have to happen, and the rnc in a memo to members write,
2:06 pm
he was caught funneling campaign money to his relatives, his senate mamth pac was caught lying to voters and he was caught accepting money tide to people, he calls unamerican as he sphratly clinics to power. gop fighting back. >> they should take whaks at him. if you take the look at the latest poll, harry reid is below nancy pelosi. they are raising a lot of money likely on going after harry reid. is he corrupt? yes. is he a liar? yes. the dangerous danger of this though, if it becomes the koch brothers versus harry reid, i think that's a problem. if republicans only focus on harry reid, then they miss the opportunity to go after bigger
2:07 pm
things and reach higher like the unpopularity of obamacare. >> harry reid has got an ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, but i agree with everything he said about the koch brothers, i agree times ten. the thing about domestic terrorism, was just a horrible use of words. i don't know what the republicans they are doing. i don't know of a campaign, honestly, that i have worked on that somebody in the family didn't get a job on. i'll bet you if i went through the republican filings, i bet you i can find endless numbers -- >> it was a little more seedy than that, he was funneling thousands of dollars to his family members through his campaign. if republicans were doing that -- >> can i emphasize this? he's the senate majority leader. doesn't that position come with a a little bit extra scrutiny?
2:08 pm
>> either harry reid is deliberately making these kind of comments because it's helping either his own personal brand or he is making money off of it through political things. the worse -- he doesn't want to have egg on his face in november if the senate were to flip to republicans. it could be that he has extremely bad judgment, in which case his staff needs to control it better. with the rnc side, what the republicans are doing today it wasn't necessarily for just attacking harry reid, this was a signal to donors to the republicans, yes, we have fight, we have fire in the belly and we will stand up and we're going to punch back and the donors like to see that. so there is a political strategy from their perspective too and probably a good one. >> i hope god is fighting back by -- gop is fighting back by raising money you should have beaten a couple of years ago. that's the sad thing.
2:09 pm
why don't you beat them in an election so you don't have this problem? find a candidate that can beat harry reid. he's the worst politician. he's brazen with his cronyism. he's created in a lab. he's got a voice like you are bathing in spoiled milk. >> you know so have taken you out there and beaten him. the republicans have the ability to come up with the biggest jerks with the worst backgrounds. they do it year after year. some of the things going for the gop is nancy pelosi and harry reid. harry reid, he is joe biden, but much less fun. he has a history of making really off the wall comments, he said that if a jobs bill didn't go through, that women -- that
2:10 pm
men would be home and beat their wives. >> let's take it one step further. the democrats made him senate majority leader. what does that say about the other democrats in the senate? >> it's a lot more complicated than that, eric. mixing oil and gas. >> isn't there a reflection on you who you bring up and make your leader, who you vote for -- you put them forward? >> harry got on the track years ago. it's very tough to beat. >> late night, stepped up the political jokes. take a listen to jimmy fallon having some fun at hillary clinton's expense. >> i want to say say congrats to which chelsea.
2:11 pm
she's having some jokes >> greg, what do you think? >> i talked about this before. there's a sexist element to comedy where it is okay to rip open a male's appearance. but if you go after a female, i don't think that was a political response to it. it was a response -- it's a protective bubble of being a female that people oh, i can't believe you said that. you made fun of how she looked. but are we over this at this point? >> isn't it funny when you breach that protective bubble? >> much like president obama did in the media. he got booed. >> he got booed but then people laughed because we're in uncharted territory. it was okay to make fun of sarah
2:12 pm
palin. the thing about her she was able to laugh with them and she joined it. that's how she per severed. we're about to -- because hillary clinton did not win the nomination in 2008. we haven't had a woman presidential nominee, these jokes and things like falen, you have to keep moving the line. no, i don't think we're there yet. i don't. at least human nature wise. >> greg, you can make that joke and not get in trouble for that joke? >> which one? >> the hillary pant suit. >> jokes about clothing and weight. they are tired. they are as tired as brake pads on a driving instructors car. >> what if a republican talking head said something like that? >> it depends on what who said it. women have an easier time
2:13 pm
criticizing other women. i think if hillary becomes the nominee it's going to be very tough to make jokes about her. she's going to have a lot of people rallying around her, they would look at where they get laughs, they would put humor over ideology. the chris christie, i do think there's a problem with the fat jokes. christie used his vulnerability, shis age, like ronald used his age. >> he really did roll with it. >> first of all, you have to find a republican that's got a sense of humor. >> that's what you said last year. >> let me say this, hillary clinton is -- whether or not you like it she's one of the more popular politicians in america. she does have a diehard group of followers. hillary clinton, you can make all the fun of her you want, but
2:14 pm
she is the toughest politician in america today. toughest what? >> toughest to beat, particularly with republicans. >> mostly because of the money. >> you don't have a dog up -- >> next up, a woman who wanted to be on reality tv so badly she was willing to aworter -- abort her unborn child. i wanted to mention my hometown ballpark turneds 100 years old today. 7th ining stretch with the one and only harry carrey. ♪

but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin
2:16 pm
or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. because what we all really want... ...is more. there's a reason it's called an "all you can eat" buffet. and not a "have just a little buffet". that's the idea behind the more everything plan. it's more of everything you want,

2:19 pm
last week, we told you about three film makers attempting to make a documentary, profiling the horrific crimes by abortionist and serial killer gosnell. with three weeks before the funding closing they raised money toward their goal. >> you don't have to go into gory details and show the blood and gore for this to be a fascinating film. this was a very well respected member of his community. this went on for 30 years, with the support of a lot of government programs, and for this sort of situation to continue as long as it did and for gosnell to continue doing
2:20 pm
the things he did so long, it says a lot about society and it's not just an exploitation film as you said. it's a story about why this happened. >> so a lot of people donating to this film. if you want to donate it's visit gosnell movie.com. bob, you have expressed your horror. what he did displaying baby's feet in jars? why isn't hollywood funding this movie? >> i don't understand what their problem is. if they are arguing it's difficult to show it, ted bund did i killed 45 women or something and jeffrey dawmer put his kids in the freezer. >> where are al sharpton, jesse jackson, if you really investigate what he did, he
2:21 pm
would actually take preference with the white women and put them in cleaner rooms, if you look at the numbers, he aborted far more african-american babies. >> maybe it doesn't suit their political dialect. because of the i had -- ideolo y ideology. because it exposes what goes on at abortion clinics around the country. isn't there millions of tens of dollars that go into funding arts? they can't find any of this for a documentary on something so important as this? >> dana, who from either side of the aisle can defend this man?
2:22 pm
this shouldn't even be a partisan issue. people shouldn't be worried about getting behind something like this. >> we wondered at the time during the trial why there weren't more people that actually support a pro choice point of view. that were outraged about him and his actions and defending what they consider to be a safe and legal practice. i do think that supply and demand is an interesting thing when the free market is allowed to work. this idea of crowd funding for a movie is relatively new. something else is new, which is how television shows are produced and made. because it's not concentrated at one movie house one more. that's why you have actually nick searcy of justified has come down as a conservative in hollywood. that takes bravery and courage.
2:23 pm
to utilize your success to push forward a project you think is valuable in hollywood. >> you know nick searcy, he comes on "red "eye ", he takes a lot of risk for coming out like this. no matter what your views on aborti abortion are, why aren't more actresses coming out and saying this man was mistreating women and babies? where are they? >> the viewer has no connection to evil. for a vehement pro choicer, his crime was poor timing. if he had just done it right, this wouldn't have happened. what if hollywood actually did
2:24 pm
the gosgosnell picture? it would be a fat white southern conservative disguised as an abortionist, who purposely killed babies to bring an abortion. that's how they would do it. >> you got to give sear si a lot of credit. nobody in the media covered this story. >> very quickly. let's be a little fair and balanced here. where are the pro life groups, there's a lot of money there, this would be a nice area -- >> again, i'm going to say gosnell movie.com. people are talking about this woman, joes sigh cunningham, a whom who lives in the u.k., she wants to get famous.
2:25 pm
she thinks if she is an abortion she can get on an reality. >> i would have to say i'm having the borgs to further any career. another reason was cause after big brother approached me, the women on the show, i went to -- >> they don't want her as part of the show. so she canceled her abortion procedure. >> is it not wrong? i think everybody is okay with choice? so wait a minute, they have a moral -- they have a spine, they are saying they are against it. i'm surprised because i thought this was just some kind of lifestyle choice. but now she's getting an abortion to further her career? they are like oh, that's bad? how many of these actresses on these reality shows have done exactly what she's done but haven't said so. >> i'm finally on the vernal of
2:26 pm
becoming famous and now it's going to be ruined. >> that's a curious thing. i know that some people i guess have made a career of being on a reality tv show, but it seems to me a strange -- well, a very weird career choice, and i think -- i would hope that in the u.k. she would realize she has a lot more options in order to make a living. >> i don't think she has many options given her intelligence. >> she also outraged the public. in 2013, she demanded $4,800 pounds from the national health centers in london for a boob job. she demanded. she said being flat chefted ruined her life and she made headlines last year. >> she's cold hearted, evil. she's aborting a human being over a few minutes of fame on a reality -- honestly? good-bye. good-bye. i prefer not to even talk about
2:27 pm
her. >> isn't that the biggest part of both stories we just covered, bob? the unborn babies of the gosnell gosnell story and this girl's baby, she's still pregnant, no one is talking about she's playing game with a human life. >> it says a lot about culture to. if i were this woman go ahead and have all the babies you want, because you are not going to get a job anywhere. >> i don't want to encourage you -- encourage her to have babies. i just want her to go away. greg has a list of this year's commencement speakers and their politics up next. life with crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

twice as many democrats as republicans will be giving commencement addresses this year. in other news, i'm short and chris matthews is crazy. al gore will also be scaring kids with his puky panic as bill clinton turns the gowns of co-eds. to them, inviting a righty to speak on campus is like inviting
2:33 pm
a piranha to a pool party. writer charles murphy says he was supposed to speak but was postponed. think about how racist this is? you cancel a speaker because you think nonwhites can't handle a diversity of opinion. that's a conclusion more insulting than anything from an old school bigot. racis racists usually operated out of fear. >> dana, you spoke, once? >> at a commencement speech. i was scarred by it. >> what happened? >> it was my alma matter, university of southern colorado and at the time the university president who is now lieutenant governor of controlle --
2:34 pm
colorado. i thought we had a pretty good chit-chat. and you said despite her party affiliations, i'm proud to announce dana perino as a speaker. i felt this chill go through me. >> most of these commencement speeches are just bland, awful, boring, except when you did one. >> i did a number of them. it would be bland and boring. island be trying to think of a republican except for rice and maybe a couple of others ones to listen to. these kids are by nature liberal. the whole world -- they should listen to -- what are you going to do? you are going to put somebody like rand paul in front of them? >> rand paul would be great. >> he would probably be huge. >> i'm trying to think of anybody who i would like to hear speak in the republican party. >> that's the point though,
2:35 pm
andrea. why are they scared of diversity? is it because the faculty is afraid of the students coming after them? is that what it's about? >> i think it's ideology. it's probably that. we always suspected when it came time to pick the commencement speaker, they made a list of liberals and wouldn't look at republicans. what i think is most horrifying this year is they are actually inviting the republican and rescinding the invitation after the students get upset. when i think of a commencement speech, it's not a political pep rally. it's not supposed to be about ideology. they don't get into politics and they get into success and seeking your dreams. >> ben carter, he's someone i would love to listen to. >> ben carson.
2:36 pm
>> that's a good point cht shouldn't it be champions of private enterprise? >> i would rather hear someone this is how i did it. this is actually perfect. half of the obama cabinet is going so speak at commencements this year? here's how you redistribute your wealth, here's how you cover your ass when you get caught. these kids are being told what to do prepping them for what to do. >> there's not a single administration that doesn't allow their cabinet speak during graduations. >> i'm not going to disagree. >> charles murry, who you talk about, he's actually just written a book about succeeding in life. he actually has substance about what he's talking about. >> who cares? exactly, dana.
2:37 pm
the number one people that's holding people back from success from work. dana has the answer. it could help you get the promotion you've always wanted. >> despite her party affiliation. why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york? i tell people it's for the climate. the conditions in new york state are great for business. new york is ranked #2 in the nation for new private sector job creation. and now it's even better because they've introduced startup new york - dozens of tax-free zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years.

do you work hard but condition seem to get ahead? maybe you need more flair like this waitress in the classic movie "office space"? >> joanna, people can get a cheeseburger anywhere. we want you to express yourself, okay. now you if feel the bare minimum is enough, okay, but some people choose to wear more and we encourage that. >> so a good attitude is actually the number one thing holding most people back from success according to research.
2:42 pm
one stanford researcher writes performance is only loosely tied who gets ahead at work. that might not be that surprising. but i want to ask you when you were a position to hire when you had polling people in washington, d.c., what did you look for in a candidate, honestly? >> that was a part of it. i set aside a quota on that. if people didn't look me in the eye, forget about it. if she didn't have a sense of humor, forget about it. you could give me a guy from harvard who was just a boring dork or give me some kid from the university of maryland who was engaging and could play golf and liked women. >> if it didn't work out, did he still pay for the hour? >> i meant to do the job of polling. do you have a good attitude?
2:43 pm
venttle me. yes. i was very positive. i ran three magazines. there were some things that -- a positive attitude is key. a boss doesn't like to be around somebody who is a chatty weirdo or a complainer and has weird habits. most important thing too is to show up. if you go out and drink, you got to show up the next day. you can't -- if you can't handle your hangovers, you shouldn't be drinking. and you have to overcome your fear of failure. be willing to fail. i got fired from three jobs because i didn't care. >> because you were take risks and play a practical joke that was highly inappropriate according to your bosses. >> eric, could you teach somebody what you did as long as they had a good attitude? >> my talking point is before you get to the point where you think you need a mentor, tough love.
2:44 pm
study for one last piece of advice. last twor words. never quit and i still to this day believe that. if you don't quit, you'll get what you want. >> nice thing to hear from your mom. >> andrea, lots of people ask you for advice and call you all the time. what do you recommend? what's your number one piece of advice? >> attitude definitely. also, you have to be able to do really crappy stuff officer a long period of time. you have to not have the attitude that something is beneath you and when someone asks you to do something and don't go back i can't do it. i'm encountering problems or i'm not sure. i love the employee that comes back and says did it, done, what's my next task. also just work hard. it's -- it really takes a lot of
2:45 pm
hard work and the doors aren't going to magically open. you may need to kick some down. persistence. >> one of my favorites is anticipate your boss's need and what my boss needs for me to tease for the next segment. they went to pricey prep schools, why did these young men allegedly became leaders of the a suburban school's drug ring. bob has the details on that next. ♪

their parents sent them to $35,000 a year prep schools likely with the hopes they would go to get into a good college. instead, they ended up in jail this week. they are accused of a running a drug ring in philadelphia. >> this was not a game. these people were in business. they were in business to make money, and they were going to do whatever they needed to do to make sure that no one threatened their business, to take those skills and turn it into this
2:50 pm
kind of an illegal enterprise is very distressing. >> you know what's amazing to me, how many people, parents in the suburbs don't get it. drugs are out there. there are a lot of them and interesting enough it is white kids who end up being most of couriers these days. there are more white kids who come from wealthy backgrounds in my experience, and the parents are clueless about it. eric, are you clueless about it? >> i'm absolutely not clueless. i'm very well tuned in. you are right. it's everywhere. it's private schools, public schools, it's everywhere. it's women, girls, they are getting in cars, they are going to places they shouldn't be. buying drugs, selling half, keeping half for themselves. it's fog on. take a look at your kids cell phones. the problem with this one is it's not just weed they are

2:52 pm
>> not that i knew. not on the speech team. but some kids go to college and in their dorm room, they create facebook. others create drugs to destroy people's life. >> you were in pennsylvania. they got more meth labs in pennsylvania than virtually any other state. >> i think there's a lot of drugs in most states and -- >> in most colleges. >> i would say on campus, the guys who are the drug dealers were always the richest ones. they came from rich, privileged families. they always were the ones that came from wealthy families, and they looked at it as a way to make money. they grew up very privilege, they didn't work very hard. you watch movies like blow. two kids move to the west coast
