welcome back to the fastest seven minutes in news, cable or otherwise. three spicy stories, seven spirited minutes, one spry host. first up, the story that keeps on giving. 16 years ago monica lewinsky had an affair with president bill

clinton. blue dresses, cigars. but why would she tell her story, her side of the affair right now? here's lynne cheney and kirsten powers on a theory we tossed around this table yesterday. >> i really wonder if this isn't an effort on the clintons' part to get that story out of the way. would "vanity fair" publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in "vanity fair"? >> the idea that the clintons are behind this just seems like a real stretch to me. not because i don't think they're capable of it but just because i don't think monica lewinsky would ever do anything to please them. >> i don't know. doesn't it make sense to get it out of the way? how about this? let's just throw it up there and see what happens and see what the response is and see how big an issue it's going to be for 2016. >> i maintain my theory that there's no explicit direction from the clinton campaign suggesting it. it's just that the left communicates in like a secret code language that we can't understand, they use like that

special ink to be able to understand it. it's not a right-wing conspiracy. it's a silent left-wing conspiracy. and right on cue this morning the "washington post," one of the columnists writes a piece that says, well, well, well, lewinsky might have just done a favor for hillary clinton. so i think that the left knows they want to get this out of the way and now after all this if hillary clinton's asked about it she can say you know, what she's spoken, i've spoken, i think that we can all just put this away now. >> we didn't get your opinion last night. what do you think of this? what's behind the timing of 16 years later -- >> well, first of all, i can't -- i've written it in my invisible ink and i can't get it to come up here. >> i don't think they gave you the code any longer. >> and they took my ring away, my secret ring. listen, i did a show with lynne cheney for three years. i actually like the woman. but this is -- she's been out in the thin air in wyoming too long. this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. a conspiracy -- first of all,

powers is right. lewinsky wouldn't go along with it. this story is probably the worst thing that could come out for them right now. because why do they want to revisit it? it's been 11 years. >> better now than -- >> a year from now. >> so you think it's not going to become an issue in the next election? >> i think they can judge it a little bit. your thoughts on it, greg? >> who's behind monica? whoever's behind the tape is probably behind monica 37. >> i think mrs. clinton should do the right thing because monica has been in the wilderness for 20 lewinsky, putn her staff for a change. i think it might be good. >> i think this benefits hillary clinton to get this out there and toss it around. >> i have no idea what you guys are laughing about. >> actually, what i'm laughing about is bob has a cigar. >> that's dangerous in his hands. >> you got a blue dress? >> stop it. >> i'm just saying the timing of it benefits hillary and it's kind of good to get it out there, talk about it, and don't

hide it, worrying, waiting for it to rear its head again. as for monica, again, she's going to do what she wants and she thinks. she's not trying to help hillary win. >> stay right there. i'm coming to you first on this one. this is sure to make any parent's blood boil. william baer was protesting a raunchy book his 14-year-old daughter was forced to read in school. here's the school board meeting. the protest. and the aftermath. >> it's absurd. everybody's -- nobody's talking about censoring the book. nobody's talking about banning the book or burning the book or anything. >> sir, would you please be respectful of the other people? >> like you're respectful of my daughter, right? and my children. you put this book out. why don't we read the notice that was put out? >> what are you charging me with? >> you're under arrest for disorderly conduct. >> disorderly conduct. >> because he broke the two-minute rule? >> i mean, honestly. i have to check to say where am i? what are my coordinates? longitude and latitude.

are we in america? why can't he speak up at a parent conference like that or a meeting and say what he thinks? and by the way, i wrote to my son's school when he came home with "captain underpants" and the potty pan whoever book. i'm like no wonder he can't read. >> that was my book. >> that was your book? he borrowed it from you from the gutfeld library? but he has to be able to speak up and i like the parents paying attention and looking at what's happening in the classroom, what kind of books are being taught, what they're giving as reading material. >> can you believe this? can you believe they arrest a guy for -- >> yes. i hope he gets -- i hope he gets a big heavy fine. >> oh, my gosh. >> look, there are rules in these school board meetings. this guy went over -- this book had been out before in his school. the year before. he's shooting his mouth off. he doesn't like -- there are ways to go about doing this and you don't have to sit there and interrupt and act like a total jerk. and i think he's right to be arrested. >> i'm all for protests and sit-ins and -- >> not if you're a father --

>> because it's a school -- >> would you do that? >> if my kid had to read a raunchy book -- >> absolutely. me too. i'd be carried out. >> should he have been arrested? >> no, i don't think he should be arrested. especially when they said he broke the two-minute rule. >> that's so silly. >> you do that all the time. >> once they had removed him from the classroom and they said we are going to arrest you, they could have just said you know what, why don't you just -- if he would have left, if he would have just been willing to leave, which he probably would have done at that point, they wouldn't have had to arrest him. >> you know what this is? you can't blame the dad, bob, because he's watching a world that has become completely antagonistic toward his values as a parent. it's as though he no longer has control over what is being fed to his kids when he's not there. and this march toward whatever it is, it's unquestioned by the media and by the schools. it's a small protest that he's arrested. but he's one man shouting enough. and i think that's symbolic of something. and i don't know what it is.

but he's shouting stop in the name of -- to progress that he feels -- >> how about this for a reasonable person? why not organize other parents? make a protest? >> that's what that was. >> at the school board meeting? >> no. it was a meeting for that specific reason. he was doing what he was -- he's being a good father. how about this finally? k.d. is a superstar athlete. k.d. is a good guy too, especially off the court. check out kevin durant accepting the nba's highest honor, this year's most valuable player. >> mvp. >> you made us believe. you kept us off the street. you put clothes on our back, food on the table. when you didn't heeat, you made sure we ate. you went to sleep hungry. you sacrificed for us. you're the real mvp. [ applause ] >> a couple days before mother's

day. >> if there just were more athletes like that. it's heartwarming to see it. a lot of people, a lot of athletes talk about their mother. but that was quite a way to do it, you know. and the mvp award, he could have said a lot of other things about his teammates. he talked about his mother. and i think that's wonderful. >> i love it. i'm emotional. dana's emotional. it's incredible. he's a great role model. god bless his mom for doing such a wonderful job. i think single moms, they have a hard time and -- >> he's the real deal, too. he means every word he says. >> i don't know what else to say. he's amazing. and i'm glad he said it. >> deserving. >> you should always thank your mom. you'll never see that in a pro-choice video. i'd like to thank my mom, but i'm not here. >> aye, aye, aye. really? >> yeah. i wish i could be here to thank my mom. i would thank my mom, but i'm not here. >> in a pro choice video. >> on that note.

>> i can't believe it but i get it. >> we'll show you how the mainstream media has been helping president obama to push his primary agenda. >> you loved it. ♪ nice day for a white wedding

the science is settled. if we don't do something now, we're all going to die. >> the extremes you see today -- >> this is as close as we are going to get to this fire. >> -- will get even more extreme. that's the basis for the new national climate assessment report p. >> torrential rains, flooding, heat waves, drought, and wildfires. it's all getting worse. >> on the heels of america's warmest decade, more heat waves and periods of severe drought.

all these symptoms set to grow more severe according to the latest national climate assessment put out by the white house tuesday. >> that's the media's loving take on the white house's new climate change report. i'm telling you, the incestuous bond between the media and obama makes norman bates's crush seem wholesome. so why does this report call for a course of panic? to beat you into cowering submission so your wallet is more easily lifted? perhaps. or it could be that the data just isn't enough. the computer models have failed. as most predictions flunked. the prior hiysteria didn't help. it put politics before science so, trust is essentially dead. scientists used to embrace skepticism it helped them sap the truth. but global warmers marshal only those who agree to ostracize the left. it's intellectual bullying by government and media together that's meant to silence those who do not parrot the panic. the doomsday rhetoric is so in sync with suffocating superiority that you're a leper just by questioning it. i'm one now. the media used to ask questions. now they're a megaphone for their masters on everything from

climate change to gun control, benghazi, obamacare, to the irs. which leaves only one real question left. what can the average person do when he's this outgunned? where do you go when no one speaks for you? the beach? we've got the weather for it. bob, we go back and forth over this. it really is about how do you have a reasoned debate when it seems like the debate is kind of poisoned? there's like -- they think we're dumb, or they think i'm dumb. i just want to ask questions but they say if you ask questions you are a truther. >> first of all, those of us, and myself included, who believe in global warming, i was glad to see this report. i was glad to see that it was supported by as much scientific data as it was and was supported by a lot of people in the business community. but having said that, there is a debate on the other side. what i'd like to see is people who don't think global warming is a big deal to get together a group of scientists, people with substantial reasons to sit down and have a debate. >> i would love to see a debate.

>> but the idea that somehow we sit back here and we're doing this, that the media got together with obama to fake global warming is absolutely ridiculous. >> i didn't say that. i said they just climbed into bed with the assumptions. assumptions based on climate models that have been deeply flawed. >> well, these scientists did not all get together and decide to screw people over. >> this thing has been rewritten politically time and time again. >> so the climate report has now changed. it used to be global warming. then it became climate change. and now it's called climate disorder. because i guess they have to frame the discussion the right way. the lapdog media, okay, yep, great, no problem. meanwhile, the guy, the co-founder of the weather channel, did you hear about this? called this report agenda driven and a total distortion of data. the guy who co-founded the weather channel called this report -- >> that doesn't interest me very much. >> okay. nothing will impress you. how about this one, bob? polar ice is up 50% versus last year. was it anywhere in that report?

>> they just had the biggest ice melt in the -- >> polar ice is up 50% versus last year. >> what? >> 90% of it is multiyear ice. >> where are you checking that out? >> look it up. >> the problem is there's obviously a political agenda behind this. it's part of a war on coal. war on fossil fuel. this is what they need. they have to have something to drive their agenda. this is the vehicle they choose. but they don't have the science and the facts to back it up. >> do you really believe that these scientists and others are making this up? >> yes. they don't pay me extra to say that. put it that way. >> but that's the thing. with this debate, and you say okay, there are flaws in these computer models, there are things wrong with your data, they go you can't really believe it's not happening. we never say climate -- climate does change. we know that. >> yep. so if you're not -- if you're not part of the consensus, then you're outside and you can't be part of the cool group. >> yeah. >> and they think you're delusional. they might say flat earth -- the

usually reasonable dana perino is absolutely off her rocker on climate change. here's the question on the policy side of things. president obama all of now in his sixth year of presidency, this is going to be his big push? but where's the legislative push? where is the proposal? where is the vote in the senate on a climate change proposal? well, guess what. they're putting politics ahead of their science apparently because they don't want to have to take that vote. >> you have a good idea. man the people who don't think that this is right, you ought to get an equally substantial group of people -- >> they do. >> -- and then sit down, have the two of them sit down and challenge -- let them challenge the people who wrote this report and let me hear a scientist on your side and a scientist on my side, have that debate. it would be very interesting. i just don't hear it. all i keep hearing you say is agenda driven, it's politics, it's this, it's that. in the meantime, it's getting -- it's beginning to affect the world in a horrible way. but -- >> which way? >> your idea that -- >> no. >> your idea that the ice has

grown 50% -- >> horrible way. >> your idea that -- >> there's a very depressed polar bear. >> it's so ridiculous that it's like saying -- >> before you go bonkers on that one, just look it up. >> i saw a polar bear in florida, and he was depressed. >> oh, no. did you help him? >> or it might have been michael moore in a fur coat. we've got to move on. you could call it highway robbery. lawmakers in california are thinking about taxing motorists on every mile they drive. dana has the details coming up.

♪ ♪ the highway america's drivers already pay big bucks for gas and tolls and in california they could start paying for every mile they drive pretty soon. state lawmakers are considering a voluntary tax for motorists on each mile their vehicle goes. and i just want to show you one

clip from a california motorist who thinks this is not a very good idea. >> i'm very opposed. i drive to brentwood every day from burbank, and i just -- i mean, i'm already paying more than i should be. >> eric, i want to go to you first because we ended up talking about this yesterday. i was curious about what i see as three problems. that voluntary. what does that possibly mean? rural communities getting -- i can't say that word. >> screwed? >> yes. thank you. and three, tracking. the tracking. once you tell the government where you're going, then the government will know. >> and that's the only way you can keep track of it, is by some sort of gps system. so the issue is voluntary. that would go away right away. the other issue is five cents a gallon is what they're proposing in california. you get a car that gets 20 miles a gallon. you're increasing it by a dollar a gallon, and it's already one of the highest taxes in the country. here's the reason why they're

doing this. as cars get bigger and better gas mileage per government mandates and trucks and other vehicles, their tax revenues for gasoline, gas taxes, diesel taxes are going down. they have to figure out how to make up for that lost revenue. so what they have to do is implement a miles-driven tax. if it were strictly miles driven, then maybe you could go along with it. but you have a federal tax, you have a state tax, you have other highway -- you have other taxes. and this is just going to be another tax. >> i could actually agree, bob, that we do need to invest more in our roads. i could be for that. but do you think that this is a serious solution? or would it ever fly? are we wasting our time -- >> if i could just say this from -- >> don't ruin my blog. >> i think eric's got a point here. they're now getting cars with higher mileage. they're not getting as much tax revenue, and they need to make that up. and the voluntary thing. i can't believe many people are going to voluntarily pay this.

>> it's crazy. >> but the thing about voluntary that worries me is voluntary is very close to mandatory in these things. and that's the thing that's got me worried. >> plus, kimberly -- >> former california resident. >> there's people that live -- if you live in the middle of san francisco, you probably aren't driving the interstate system very much. >> correct. >> but if you -- >> in los angeles -- >> you need a commute because you want to put your kid in a better school so you're willing to commute, then you're the one that ends up paying for people to subsidize them in the city. >> so does that formula make a lot of sense to you, dapa? >> no. >> it does not. >> correct. >> good answer. you can continue the block. >> i have a question for greg about tracking. we just had this big debate about nsa and whether or not you can track americans and their phone calls. should we allow the government to know where we're driving? i mean, are we going to allow that? >> i don't know, dana. it's a good question. >> thank you. >> can i answer a different question? >> what question would you like me to ask? >> if you want to say california

you tax hypocrisy. because what they're doing right now is they're punishing the population for doing exactly what the government told them to do, which was conservative gasoline and oil by getting fuel-efficient cars. so they go and do that and what do they do? okay. now we're going to tax the roads. you don't -- by the way, there's no such thing as a voluntary tax. it's like voluntary diarrhea. >> ew. >> nobody opts for it. but -- >> that's not exactly -- >> i know a few models. no, you know what this is? this is the same model the government is doing with smoking and why they're attacking vaping. because smoking, they get taxes from cigarettes. people started to stop smoking. so they got less taxes. they look at vaping, which saves lives, and they're going, boy, there are going to be less smokers, less dying, less taxes, we need to stop the vaping. vaping to them is bad because they lose money. >> can you believe that in oregon and washington state you have this voluntary program in place where people do pay -- >> but they have this complicated rebate system so if

you volunteer then you can get some sort of rebate thing. >> oh, i see. >> that's why people do it. that was spirited. ahead a big birthday today for one of the five favorite people. people. we're going to tell you who coming up.

last night was the first primary test for what type of candidates the republican party will put up this november. a couple headlines tell the story of the results. from politico.november. a couple headlines tell the story. tuesday's takeaways: gop establishment prevails. as an unofficial adviser to republicans, i have been recommending they keep away from the tea party and it upsets me that they have actually listened. eric, i have said this often. the tea party is becoming less and less of a factor in american politi politics. do you think that any of this is a portrayal of that. >> i think there still is a far right and a centrist right divide that's going on. last night north carolina was an interesting race. everyone was keeping their eye on it and the more establishment type candidate won. let's do it this way.

there's been a good influence on all the candidates. all are becoming better because of the divide. we need to find the one that finds the nice mix between the two. the tea party has influenced the establishment and so have the libertarians. whoever ends up being able to encompass those groups, the big party will win race after race. >> i am not falling, and i don't think any republican out there should. do not fall for the media's characterization of the republicans. the two headlines that you cite are from politico and the "new york times." it helps them if there's a republican divide. so why do they put establishment in the headline? to try to mix it up. if you dig a little deeper, thom tillis, who won last night, his polling showed he appealed to a wide range of republicans. so it could be that what you're saying is right, that republicans have figured out some good candidates that can

appeal to both and been influenced well. the other thing it shows that there was a lot of enthusiasm last night, a lot of voters out will. i just want to say taylor griffin gave it a college try there. he lost, but i admire him for trying to run. >> do it again. >> that was sort of nice, helpful advice. i thought this was kind of exciting. i think the democrats would be mistaken if they tried to count out the republicans and say there's a divide. they are not going to sit out the midterms. there's too much at stake. this was indicative, in my opinion, that there's going to be a marshaling of effort and energy and campaign focus to be able to do this, to get the seats. if they don't do it now, they are not going to be in a good position for 2016. >> i always enjoy how the media loves to diminish the tea party. when you think about, consider their mere image which was

occupy wall street. >> not all of them.

it's time now for one more thing. >> let's take a look at one of my favorite people. miley cyrus's latest video. >> you know weed has never killed anybody. the minute i started rolling all these joints, i could get any guy and girl to make out. i wish cigarettes didn't kill people because i would smoke them all day because they are so delicious. but weed is much better and weed won't kill you. >> the sentence there is the minute i stopped smoking these joints, stopped smoking i could get any guy and girl to kiss me.

that says about all that needs to be said. >> i don't know where to go from there. >> here's something really funny to watch. >> what's one shocking thing about you that your kids don't know. >> that i like dope. >> my kids don't e know i i adopted them. just kidding. >> i mud wrestled naked when i was in high school. >> she did not know that? >> no. >> that's awesome. >> he's funny. >> i don't know what i would say. jasper knows everything about me. lynn cheney, she wasn't on fox to talk about monica lewinsky. she was talking about her new book. the publishers weekly review meticulously researched

the big 5-0 today. >> wow. >> i don't think he eats. >> it's mere cat blood. >> are you referring to the birthday cake incident this morning? >> what happened? >> we missed it. elizabeth hasselbeck was bringing a cake and someone came out of the crowd and took the cake and smashed it on himself. i'm not making this up. you didn't see this? >> where was this? >> fox. >> what do you mean? >> it's way too early for me. i'm koing my dirty work with the >> a fox news alert. nigerian war lord stepping up his deadly reign of terror. hillary cloin ton ignored
