>> hello, everyone, i'm eric bolling, along with dana perino, bob beckle, and kimberly guilfoyle and jesse. this is "the five." >> so does #diplomacy work. 300 girls were kidnapped by the muslim terrorist group by the same tokenco hair ram -- boko haram. is #activism a fad or is this actually becoming a part of american foreign policy. rush limbaugh thinks this is a

joke. >> i think this is pathetic. i'm just stunned. we've got 300 nie year jeer girls kidnapped by a terror group. all of a sudden we're out an i big push to get them back and this is how -- is the sad thing is that the low information crowd that's on twitter is going to think we're doing something about it. it is unbelievable. bring back our girls. they are nie jeerian. >> rush goes on to say are we this powerless all we got is a hash tag? >> it is a #r hash tag for holding up a sign. i would like to see some movement, some action, some leadership in a real significant way, meaning results oriented. doesn't everybody want that and shouldn't have matter about the young nigerian boys as well?

>> you are anti war. you said you were an anti war activist? now what do you do -- do you put americans lives? >> i think it's a premature to say we're not doing anything. we've sent military people. you don't know everything that's going on. something like this, there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and the public doesn't know about. my guess is there's a lot of americans, a lot of intel going over there and it's a lot more than a hash tag. i'm a little surprised by rush, usually by the way, rush is such an unusual thing for this show, but he said it's nooij nooij girls. what does he mean by that? >> i think he means they are not american girls. >> the question is -- the #bring back our girls. he's being specific to our meaning -- that is actually just

a hash tag that started in nigeria. >> john mccain said we should mobilize our assets, he suggested using our drone capabilities. >> if we had the intel and we could have a strike where we get the terrorists and protect innocent lives, that's what the technology should be used for. the hash tag thing if nothing else is being done, then i gae that it is ridiculous. however, there are ways to mobilize things. sometimes it takes a little bit of time, but i was thinking about the one campaign and global anti poverty efforts have started like early 2001-2002, 2003 and everybody wore those little bracelets and it wasn't because we thought that the bracelet was actually going to do anything but it was part of a solidarity with a movement to move forward and when you think about the green revolution in iran, that was really started by

twitter. one of the criticisms is that they did not do enough of spreading the message. by itself, does it do anything? absolutely not. does it make it cool to bring back our girls? yes. if you want to make it partisan, find someone else from across the aisle or get a lot of women together from republicans and democrats, and do it altogether. instead, it's a thing that's being mocked. >> what about the hollywood elites jumping on the bandwagon? >> i think they are taking their cues from michelle obama. kim kardashian, when she starts tweeting about this, does she even know where nigeria is. of course not. anything that makes them feel

good and connected. they don't know the difference between nigeria and angola. if michelle obama would have said #what about the syrian girls? >> do we risk american lives to save these nigerian girls? >> they are going to get intel in these guys and in a few week we're going to send a drone to northern nigeria and zap them. >> 2005, a point in our history that doesn't get as much attention as it probably deserves, 2005, about 200 marines were sent to liberia and they liberated that country from a dictator. 200 marines. i don't believe there was any loss of life from our side. if you decide it's within your national interests, you can do more. >> the arab spring was directed by twitter. >> it was certainly or dwanized.

>> that was a quit follow-up for your staple. what do you think, do you think this is something that they can say it's a legitimate case that it's in our national interests? >> the girls in nigeria? i could be persuaded by you would say that's true in syria as well because i think when you have 8,000 children killed by chemical weapons in syria, then, yes, we should have done something there as well. >> i have to move on the next one. on benghazi democrats still have not decided if they will participate in the investigation. nancy pelosi and her liberal colleagues don't think americans deserve answers. >> this is political stunt. either people have gotten tired of benghazi or they have never about it in the first place. let's not be accomplices to this diversionary ak ash tactic.

>> tom cotton took to the house floor today. >> when i was leading troops in iraq in 2006, men and women were being shot at and blown at by al qaeda, where was the outrage, as they fund raise endlessly? where was the outrage as they viciously attacked our commanders? where was our outrage when they said that soldiers were war criminals? >> some of those comments were made obviously way out of place, but let's keep in mind the difference between iraq and what's going on in benghazi, there were 6,500 americans killed in iraq and 32,000 injured badly, and so i think it's a little different when you are talking about trying to stop a war at that size and you are talking about benghazi. i don't think it's equivalent. >> it's different. >> the one thing is that not just that they were fundraising off iraq, but also off school

shootings, sandy, to say you are not able to fund raise off benghazi, it's hypocritical. these things happen in politics but it's a little hip owe critical for the left to go after the republicans. i think the left thought that the media was going to echo this sentiment and they didn't. >> the same congressmen said that republicans shouldn't be raising money on benghazi and they are. >> i'm not sure he said that. >> yes, he did. >> i don't think it's consistent across all republicans. some say they won't raise money off benghazi and some say they will. what they mean is they are going to run and say i'm a republican, i want more answers into what happened in benghazi, so therefore you should elect more people like me versus a democrat who doesn't even want answers in benghazi. >> that's how you frame it? is that not okay to do? because maybe there are americans out there i want to

vote for a candidate who is actually interested in getting to the bottom of investigations and not saying it's just politics and actually want to hold an administration accountable? the problem is transparencely. it sounds good to me. >> dana, should republicans shy away from raising money in something as important as benghazi? >> not my style. i like how you frame it. i can understand that in terms of judgment and character, you should want more people like me in washington, instead of people like this who call getting to the bottom of something a stunt. i understand that. now, there is a select committee and trey gowdy is in the chair position, i think everybody else, at least on the political side of things just follow his lead and i will say trey gowdy and his spokesperson are the only two people who are speaking on this this. if they ask questions without spechifying, no theaters, the whole watermelon and the gun thing, that was a stunt and the

theet tri kal event that doesn't help on the pr side. i don't think they need to. when democrats say this is a stunt, don't pay attention, that is a message aimed directly to the left and to the media, to other media to say don't bother covering this, but i would like to propose something. i would help organize a debate between someone like steve hayes and pick anybody from the mainstream media that was supposed ton covering bane -- benghazi, one neutral moderator and let the american people decide if this is just a stunt or legitimate investigation. >> should the democrats show up, yes or no? >> i would say yeah they should -- look, there are seven republicans kicking hillary clinton's butt out there, if they are not there to change the narrative and give her a little break, they are going to get screwed. >> agreed. they don't know what else is out there. that do you mean that was withheld by the administration,

where there is one document, there's probably more. >> bob. >> absolutely not. where did the video come from? >> why wasn't there security at the embassy? and should they show up. >> absolutely. you have to have all the facts and information how can you say you are a credible candidate if you are not willing to go in there and answer questions? >> from boko haram -- sebts and others are boycotting the hotel after he imposed islamic law in his country. >> i think it's funny that liberals have figuring out that

islam iks radicals hate homosexuals and other things. there's a gay teen pedestrian toe file, and they are circling the outrage. muslims love people all over the time and all over the time, if you have run into a muslim that happens to be gay, then hollywood goes crazy. >> i don't understand. i agree with jesse, now the complaint is that they don't want to go to this hotel anymore? i mean, there are plenty of places in hollywood where you can pay $22 for a march teen they are not looking for opportunity in that regard. >> have you been to that hotel? >> yeah, i had, but i didn't know it was owned by brunei. i would take any country that has sharia law and i would stop doing economic trade with them.

we've allowed this sharia law, it is the most amazing human rights violator on anything known in this earth. you take everything away from them. >> if you are made aware of it and you find out, there's plenty of gray hotels like the four seasons, i would say there. they are not into sharia law. >> let's hope they are not into sharia law. >> next on "the five," controversial comments today from pope francis regarding world poverty. plus mitt romney breaks on some on the minimum wage and why he thinks it should be raised when we return.

pope francis is asking the world to do more to help people out of poverty. earlier, he called on governments around the globe to

redistribute wealth to the poor. so this has been an issue for a while because i think it's been a year that the pope has been there at the vatican and he wrote a paper that got a lot of attention and we -- also president obama is talking a lot about income inequality. the question come up. we were talking about before, i don't find the pope's comments that controversial. i feel like i can hear what he's trying to say, in terms of the message we learned in sunday school but this is causing some controversy, the question is how does the u.n. get involved? >> let me clarify this. i love pope francis. i love everything he's doing. this is controversial because he's asking the government's to redistribute wealth. when the church says the government around the world, you know, take money from your more wealthy, give it to your poor.

this is no surprise. pope francis has been about the poverty stricken his entire life. it just has become controversial. i don't think it's going to change his legacy. i think he's a wonderful pope. i think he's bringing christians together in a fantastic way. >> it makes feem talk about it. kevin williams wrote a piece about this a while ago, but i thought of it today and i want to pull up one sentence, to give away wealth presumes the existence of that wealth. giving away all that you own does not do the poor an iota of good if you don't have anything. you can't spread the wealth without wealth. capitalism is the precondition of generosity. if you want to feed the lord's sheep, you must begin by planting the fields. i think that capitalism making people more generous at least through charitable givings and that's how the church is able to further its message. >> americans have the highest generosity in terms of contributing to charity of any

country in the world but what the pope is saying is right. he's been in a lot of countries where there's a very small percentage of gold guards and everybody else is poor. minimum wage and redistributing help, good for you. i'm glad he's saying it. it is time for us to take people in this country and not have the minimum wage that keeps them in poverty and hungry. >> kimberly, if you look around the world, what is more actually needed is kpafleism. >> without capitalism, how can you have economic growth, job development? that's what i want to understand. push that car down the road. i'm sorry, you made me take the wheels off, how am i going to get it there? it doesn't make any sense to me. i'm sure people are very excited on the left that the pope said

this. he's also against socialism in argentina. nevertheless, i think his heart is in the right place but he is the pope and he is the head of the church. that's why he's not running the government, right? it makes sense. >> but he does have political influence. >> i think the left is using the pope here a little bit. whenever he says anything about abortion, the left is either silent or they try to marginalize him. on every mainstream website, every left wing website and the minute he says redistribution, they are going to glom on to this and use this to force their socialist agenda. but i do think they may be distorting his words a little bit. i think it's lost in translation. i may disagree with his objective about how to get there. i think free market capitalism is the best way to address

poverty. listen, if the pope is going to go out there and let's say slash taxes, climate change is a hoax, all hell would break loose. >> former presidential candidate mitt romney, he was talking about minimum wage. >> i part company with many in my party on the minimum wage. our party is all about more jobs and better pay and i think communicating that is important to us. >> so showing on the right big tent, lots of different philosophies, they don't necessarily walk in lock step. would you think -- we've talked about this at the state level, minimum wages have been raised. ermts clarify though. >> they were asking about -- by the way, if you get a chance,

that was one of best interviews i've seen mitt romney give. >> a couple of year ago too late. >> exactly. it was two years too late. because had morning joe asked the question asked today two years ago he may have a different outcome in the election. however this bothered me. he went back to raising a federal minimum wage, instead of letting the states decide on their own, which i believe, in states rights to figure out what their minimum wage should be. personally, i think there shouldn't be one at all. but he went there and he said i'm trying to figure out what was the purpose of doing that. he's not running for president. he says i'm not running for president. it's not going to help out anyone that he endorses going down the road to say hey mitt romney thinks raising the minimum wage federally is a good idea. i didn't understand why he was going there. >> bob, is he trying to maybe move the party in a direction he thinks it should go? >> maybe. i don't know anybody on that tent on minimum wage who is a

republican beside him. >> paw leny are being very specific. >> i stand corrected. >> even your best friend bill o'reilly thinks we should raise the minimum wage. >> a lot of states are tied to the minimum wage, at $7.25 people cannot get out of poverty and they go to bed hungry at night. >> what about the issue of increased regulations is and just in terms of energy costs? we're always going to be chasing the a minimum wage that will never actually solve the problem that bob talks about. >> that's going to remain perpetually insufficient. >> $10.10 is not sufficient. that will work. >> if you raise the minimum wage to $10.10, you are going to eliminate 500,000 people jobs.

>> they also said 2 million people will be risen out of poverty. >> so the five people in a room, four is going to get a raise and one will be fired. >> that minimum wage keeps them in poverty. >> this week, jesse, there was a report that showed that entrepreneurial spirit of america has just been constantly declining with less people trying to create more businesses, and i can understand the goal of wanting to get people out of poverty but not at the expense, if you can't -- of job creation, what have we solved snnch the. >> the whole minimum wage thing, they try to nickle and dime this stuff on the fringes to drug paraphernalia -- to drum up t.

it's not going to lift the whole country out of poverty. >> it's 1.6 million people on minimum wage in america, but you are going to lose 500,000 of them. >> maybe you'll lose them. >> listen to what he's saying, bob. >> i also love the liberals who hated mitt romney so much because of his policies -- what they said that he was only for the rich people, now they love him. >> republicans said you should elect them because he understands business. there you got your business guy telling you that you ought to raise the minimum wage. >> what part of the scorecard you don't get? >> two christian brothers lose their show on hgtv. did their faith cause them to lose their jobs? that's next on "the five."

well, christians who hold -- bob, you with me. who hold traditional beliefs welcome to work at hgtv. it doesn't appear that way after twin brothers david and jim benham was canceled this week. some people were upset about their traditional views on marriage, abortion, and more. now, hgtv was offendnd by these remarks. >> in 87% of americans are christians and yet we have abortion on demand, we have no fault divorce, we have pornography and per version, we have homosexuality and agenda that's attacking the nation, we have adultery, we have all of the things, we even have allowed

demonic ie deol you didn't see to take our universities and our public school systems and while the church sits silent and just builds big churches. >> they are standing by their faith and their values. eric interviewed them. >> the agenda we're dealing in america right now is an environment whereby it seeks to silence those that disagree with it and it begins with christians. when hgtv released us, it saddened us. our response to them was hey, thanks for the opportunity, and good luck. >> eric, congratulations. you got that interview. what was your experience with them? because that's just a clip. >> a couple very upbeat guys, remember, they got halfway through the series and it was yavernged. hgtv knew where they stood on

things like gay marriage and things like that. hgtv pulled it after it started. if if they really -- they won't explain why, why did they pull it afterwards because they knew in advance? >> because of public outrage. >> because of the gay activism. has it gone from a equality encompassing agenda to boycotts? >> i watch hgtv every night. i've never heard of hgtv. home and garden. >> it's big. >> cookie shows and all that stuff, i don't watch them. the one comment that demonic forces are taking over the universities. who is he kidding? >> one more team, the satanic black mass that's going to

happen in harvard on monday. >> that's one instance. >> here's the thing, the audience at hgtv, a lot of gays and a lot of women. it was a business decision. they were going to get boycotted potentially and it was going to be offensive to the audience, but i think businessmen in america have to make a decision, am i going to be a businessman first or an outspoken christian? what's more important? >> do they make these comments in their shows? >> no. this clip was 2012. this is what they said in the past. these are the beliefs that they hold. they say they are traditional, they are family men, so i think they were very much in keeping in touch what their personas were. when this was highlighted, they had to pull it. >> what's the big deal? >> because they said it in the past and it became an issue. >> you have left wing people

trying to get scalps out there. they want to take down christians and you want to silence them. when they say things, they are pretty controversial. >> they might have offended the american indians. >> you are handing these guys a loaded gun when you say things these. dvent demonic. they made a nazi comparison. they got to polish it you have up. >> in the bigger picture, it's a march from the left to shut down the free expression of anybody who they disagree with. i might disagree with that as well, guess what, this is what i do, i don't watch it. there's a daily mail website, it's a great place, people love to go to that website, it is so disturbing to me. if i ever find myself looking at some of the store dis and digging deeper and going farther, it's so debasing. i have to turn it off and i walk away. so i don't watch it. same thing with sister wives.

i don't watch sister wives. >> do they grow vegetables? >> no. i'm talking about a bigger picture thing. >> i'm sorry. >> no i mean the whole left. >> the producers have something for bob today? >> no. it's home -- >> all right. never mind. moving on. make sure to catch the owe riley factor tonight. that's 8:00 p.m. eastern. don't miss it. it's going to be fantastic. up next, the secrets to a lasting marriage? are you kidding me? from none other bachelor mom -- bob, give me the advice i need. stay tuned.

i was married once. it didn't last long, but i got two great kids out of it. couples who equally share their chores an the house are more likely to stay together than those who don't. apparently, when one person is doing the work, resentment sets in. my old lady used to nag me about that all the time. >> maybe that's part of the problem. >> you find this to be a true statement. dana, you were one who -- i mean, i know -- i've been to your home, your husband is a wonderful guy. i know two instances where you've been particularly uncomfortable, one as a purple glove that was there for three days and you went ballistic over it, and then -- >> i didn't go ballistic. but i was irritated. >> what you did you went -- >> it was your husband's purpose glove. >> no, it was a cleaning lady's

purple love -- blof glove. >> i put it where he couldn't miss it. it's also how i got the poster of jasper finally hung up in the kitchen because i was complaining. >> women, they keep coming at you. they nag and nag and nag. there's a certain resentment -- >> it's not my resentment about having the poster and it not being hung up. >> lagging and not getting your stuff done. >> did you nag -- you've been divorced five times, so did you -- >> i so have not been divorced five times. >> did you use to nag your husbands? >> i don't know, maybe. >> jesse said to me on the break, don't mention this because if i have to say in on the air, but his wife nags him all the time. >> wait a second.

i did not say that. >> probably because he did not do his chores. >> that's more of what i said. >> now you are in trouble. you can't tell bob -- >> i had to call my wife when i saw this and this is the segment, honey, i'm going to say something sexist. i make the bed and i vacuum. it's not a chore if you make the bed once a month. the only chores i do regularly are feed the cats and take out the trash. >> take out the trash is excellent. >> let's talk about wuss man. >> i am. >> you do whatever your old lady tells you to do. >> you are absolutely right. keep it cool at home. if she asks you to change some light bulbs, i just do it. >> they start working on it on the morning. how's this, you think you got it

resolved, six months later why didn't you -- can you imagine bob's poor wife? >> she's a very nice woman. >> what chores did you have? >> he didn't do anything? i had plenty of chores. >> like what? >> i had to move books around. i had to take my -- >> you have enough money -- >> i did. you know one thing about this -- >> men do male oriented things, and women do stuff in the house and men get more sex that way. >> i'm going to go home and do the lawn that way. >> that's why you got to do a honey do list. honey do this and that. bob, when there's a big reward at the end, they like it. >> well, if it's clear that's the reward, but usually it's

more nagging and frankly -- i got two great kids out of it and my ex-wife is a nice lady and she had to live with me and i got to give her that. >> coming up, the nfl draft was definitely a nail biter. johnny football had to wait a long way last night but did his long

two time all american and heisman trophy winner, johnny football, johnny manziel waited longer than expected at nfl draft to hear his name called. the huch's texans select clowney. in the 2014 nfl draft, the jacksonville draft select drake boredel. the dallas cowboys select zach martin, guard notre game. the 22nd pick in the 2014 nfl

draft, the cleveland browns select johnny manziel, quarterback, texas a& m. the star qwb didn't take it too hard. here he is hitting the club last night. let's go to bolling here on this. you know the knock on this guy, he's under size, he's got a backyard style of play. he had a great career in college. do you feel bad for him? >> no. here's what i think went on. so a lot of teams waited. they passed on johnny manziel for a lot of reasons, he's under six feet, which would be very short for nfl quarterback. not because -- he's proven that his height isn't going to keep him from winning games. i think they did for all the

antics -- i happen to like him. i like what he does. i'm going to sign autographs for money, i don't care. he got selected and he did this with the money thing. so he's very in your face and i think a lot of thing didn't want that distraction right now. that's why they passed. but i think cleveland got a good quarterback for a 22nd pick. >> we got a scouting report from new england patriots. spoiled brat because his dad bought him a luxury car. outlaw blood lines. >> i don't think he's that good of a quarterback. he's too short. he does not play an nfl style offense. he played for texas a& m. have you seen their schedule? >> there's a top notch football

program. he was a star quarterback. he broke records. >> most of the top ten picks were mostly defensive and a lot of these teams are looking for defensive help and that's -- >> it's not over for him. let's see what he does with it. eric doesn't like it. we had a little back and forth. he's going to cleveland. it's not a good team. i said kozar to slaughter. >> this guy is running around with all these girlfriends. >> i think i will recommend putting the players off to the side in a room where you can't see them so you don't have the attempts to humiliate somebody waiting to see if they are going to get picked. >> he's the only guy that dana would be the only size as. >> i felt bad for him. i was thinking of the movie

"bridesmaids." >> one more thing is up next. >> there you go.

all right. time for one more thing. kg, you have a special one. >> yes, we want to wish a very special happy birthday to our very own dana perino. >> thank you. >> how much we love you. >> thank you. >> she's getting younger and
