i'm dana. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." is america becoming too complacent in the midst of worldwide terror threats? this week the nim commission issued its first report in a decade. they say the complacency that led to 9/11 is happening again. daniel henninger warns all the world's chaos is going to get worse. people are going to die not necessarily in the places they are dying now. hope alone won't protect europe or us. take a look at the cover of the new issue of "time" magazine. it reads, cold war two, the west

is losing putin's dangerous game. is it time for the u.s. to step up and take charge? secretary kerry and president obama think that we already are. >> the facts could not be more clear. the united states of america has never been more engaged in helping to lead in more places than we are now. >> we live in a complex world. and at a challenging time. none of these challenges lend themselves to quick or easy solutions, but all of them require american leadership. >> former defense secretary robert gates thinks the u.s. appears to be disengaging from the world. listen to him. >> i think that there is a perception around the world of the u.s. disengaging. i know that the administration makes the case of its diplomatic involvement and how busy it is, how involved it is around the world. but look, the reality is, withdrawing, or disengaging from two wars, both of which end without a clear-cut victory, is

a tricky business to avoid giving the impression you're disengaging from the rest of the world. >> our attempt here is not to get too specific on tactics and try to look at the bigger picture. greg, do you think america is having a national identity crisis? >> maybe. next? america i think is falling victim to a number of things. entitlement plus distractions. which leads to, i think, a steep decline in making us vulnerable to outside threat. as the government buys off a population, who are distracted by incredible technologies, and endless faucets of pop culture, we no longer are paying attention to the threats around us. as the patient is medicated, by these painkillers, which make it happy, and indulge our senses, we lose sight of the fact that the world is pretty threatening. there are people who do not respond to reason.

we think that we can somehow convince our enemies to listen to us, when actually the only way to get into their thick skulls anything is with a bullet. extremists do not listen to us. >> another type of bullet is an economic one. eric, i wondered what you thought about america's economic position in the world. is that having an effect on other decisions that we're making or not making? >> so, the three conflicts that we're talking about. ukraine and russia, we talked about it quite a bit. yet we need to step up sanctions against russia. the way to do that would be with the oil industry, you know, in no uncertain terms we'll do what we have to do to drill more here, not rely on any russian oil or middle eastern oil. and if we need to help out trading partners, maybe we'll do that, too, in the form of sending them crude oil, heating oil and all those types of things. not necessarily natural gas. israel, send them military support in the form of intel and technology. we did that with the iron dome,

things like that. with the middle east, i think that's one where we need to wait and see what happens. we probably disagree on how to handle the middle east, but my take on it is, the way to really hurt the middle east the most is, again, frac drill and keep out of the middle east completely. >> bob, you are wanting to comment on the "time" magazine cover. here's how i wanted to frame the question to you. you can answer it however you want, of course. before it was called the cold war, in the middle of those first several years, people didn't know exactly what they were in, but they knew they were having a fight without weapons against the soviet union. are we in some sort of a new phase now that will be named later, that we can't exactly pin down at the moment? >> let me start by saying, mr. gates -- >> secretary gates. >> -- secretary gates who criticized the administration, greg made the point about

cutting back on the military, it was the gates' program to cut back on the military. the "time" magazine cover is one of the most ill-informed pieces of crap i've ever seen. it was the ussr versus the united states. it was clear-cut. the ussr was big, powerful, had a number of countries that it controls. it does not now have that. all it has is oil and gas. it's basically a third world country. in terms of the economics, the world has changed. a lot of countries like india and brazil have become very strong economically. we can't expect to control that. but the idea that somehow we're going into a second cold war, i don't know who did that for "time" magazine. they ought to be fired. >> do you think we're entering something, that we'll name and brand later on? >> there's no question that areas that russia used to control, it's moving its way back in. there's a perception around the world that u.s. power is

receding. and whether you agree with the last two wars or not, right now, it appears that we are losing them. and we have a president that's not interested in continuing fighting them. that's a fact. when it comes to ukraine, i don't want american blood and treasure to die in ukraine. i'm not sure our national interests are over there. our nato allies are fectless, they're unreliable. eric mentioned great ways to cripple sanctions. i go back to what i said before. we have a president that would be better if he didn't draw any red lines, than draw them and not enforce them. a message has been sent that the president cares more about food stamps than fighter jets. that's why any bad man living in a hard country somewhere around the world is saying, okay, it's time to flex my muscles because the u.s. won't do anything. i think he should stick to the standard press conferences. i've said this time and time again, president obama stumbling into a nuclear war that he

doesn't have the guts to fight. >> do you want to respond? >> the idea, nuclears will annihilate this world, so nobody would be around to fight. we give israel the most high-tech technology we have. when i was in the white house, we sold them the best military equipment we could, and we continue to do that. and we give them the best intelligence we can. beyond that, the question is, do we get involved ourselves on the ground. the answer is clearly no. >> let me ask -- go ahead. >> well, everybody says no boots on the ground as if there's a group of people yelling, boots on the ground, boots on the ground! it's like telling a misbehaving child that no matter what you do, you'll never get spanked. daddy and mommy will still give you dessert, we still love you. the world is besieged by a number of really horrible children who rape, who mutilate the innocent. saying no boots is no comfort to the world's victims. we are here not to wage war, we

are here to offer the possibilities that we will wage war. if you offer the wage war, you will not have a war. that's how it works. the idea that we say, we're out of this. we've got some problems at home. we've got to deal with, you know, these social ills. you guys take care of it. that's not a message you send around the world when there are people who are dying for freedom. >> the message you just said is exactly what we're not sending. we have 600 military bases around the world. we are everywhere we could possibly be. we are not receding. we're cutting back certain things we should be. i wish we would rebuild another air carrier. i can't -- i would like to see the evidence that somehow -- >> i think they should go back and get the missile bases, maybe in eastern europe, pulled. i think we should stop saying no boots on the ground. even if we believe we're not going to do it. >> the president made the argument to disarm the missile

bases in eastern europe. he's drawing down our military right now. and saying there's no war as an option on the table. why wouldn't you -- it's sad to watch somebody like putin push around somebody like ukraine. but it's not our fight. >> if you keep saying it's not our fight to every fight, you're going to -- >> not every fight. the policy needs to be, if our allies, or if the united states is directly threatened, if it is a national security interest to us or our allies, perhaps jordan, then we consider it, then we get involved and flatten them and leave. no inky fingers, no democracy building, no, yes, we stand with you, and this orgy of ideological democracy promotion and nation building. enough of that. >> yes, if you tell your kids you're not going to spank them, they'll misbehave. try telling your kid you're going to take their iphone away and they'll get right in line. so maybe there are other forms of spanking them. >> i know. >> and, yeah --

>> right. >> sanction spanking. i think we're probably in the same ballpark. >> i think greg is right about not saying no boots on the ground. the fact is, we do have boots on the ground in a lot of places, we just don't make that point enough. by the way, it was not a missile base in eastern europe. but nonetheless, it was taken away and that was very controversial, i understand that. but the reality is, there are complex geopolitical issues going on around the world that were not there during the cold war. that's something that any country, particularly the united states, is going to have to deal with in a multi-faceted way in 20, 30 different areas of the world. i don't know how you do that with -- we've spent as much money as we can in the military on intelligence, what more can we do. >> i agree with everything but the last part. we spend as much money as we can on intelligence in the military. a ton more. we can spend a lot more. we could be a lot smarter, and we can win any war through our

technology and intel. i think that's probably, in my opinion -- >> anyone else alarmed by the 9/11 commission report? they haven't done a report in a decade and their first one is basically all the lessons we've learned, you've forgotten. >> it is the product of a short attention span. the fact that we are now living in a world where everything is happening so quickly. the world may be more peaceful than it has been, but the amount of atrocities might have decreased but the reporting of it has increased. bad things are happening every day. maybe we're wrong. however, the desire to pull back, the desire for open borders, hating the nsa, that creates a recipe for terror. and you can't have all three at the same time. you've got to be for intelligence, you've got to be for borders, and you've got to be for presidents. >> i think the 9/11 report is something to pay attention to. look, before we were dealing

with al qaeda, which was much bigger, and centralized and had a leadership structure. now it's in 20 different countries by franchise. that by definition presents potential problems. >> not only that, but in syria they've had up to 20,000 foreign fighters that they actually hold western passports. they have gone for training and they can show up in any one of our countries and we are ham strung on our intelligence to try to track them. the other thing on jordan, i haven't had a chance to speak a lot on here, i wanted to make a point on the humanitarian side of things. for the last two years, 13 million refugees have entered into jordan. they've doubled their population and they're all poor, helpless people living in camps. we do not have a strategy to try to deal with that problem, which will be one that your children, our grandchildren, are going to have to deal with. >> the united states media has been terrible trying to cover that. and it probably leads to the downfall of jordan as we know it. >> let's hope not. we can do better than that, right, america?

a chance to insult republicans, but in his mind he's not all that partisan. plus, the president may have just lost one of his staunchest supporters. who is that? coming up. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share.

what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business.

there we go again. >> on monday, president obama attended the irs hearings to condemn the corruption that infests the agency. i kid again, he was at a fund-raiser. no press was allowed, no biggy, not like they'd report anything. when obama talks, they glisten. but there the president claimed he's not very partisan. perhaps, but compared to what, the red army? then i realized he's right. he's not a partisan, because for him, democrats are too moderate and too fearful of the change he's unleashed like a bag of gremlins in a crowded theater. obama succeeded where other progressives have failed making the next democratic presidential candidate seem like a republican. it's true, after obama, everyone looks right because there's nowhere left to go. but obama is partisan if you mean any party where george

clooney is a guest. where leftists meet in rarified air in a country that created their opportunities for wealth. obama is a partisan to an ideology, a dogma where all calamity serves a higher purpose, where a goal is never reached, only suffered. as successful traditions are subverted, the replacement is never spelled out, because there's no alphabet grim enough. it truly is obama's world. and we're just gagging in it. um -- all right. andrea, let's be honest. isn't he really bigger than any party? is that what he really thinks? he's not part of the democratic party either. he's just beyond -- >> oh, i think he's part of a wing of the democratic party. but i think when he says i'm not a partisan, that means if you agree with him. so if you see things his way, like for example, when speaker boehner came out and spoke in favor of immigration reform,

president obama had nice things to say about him. if it goes his way and if you agree with him, then he's not a partisan. and he likes you. if you disagree with him, he will attack you, like i guess our producer said he did moments ago in a fund-raiser he was just giving. i actually think the best thing for him, and i know he's fund-raising to keep the senate, i personally think if i was sitting next to him advising him is to lose the senate. the same way bill clinton had to deal with an all republican congress, that would be a dream for him. he's not going to get anything through with a republican house anyway. for the next two years he can demonize republicans, blame him for everything he can't get done. bill clinton did it, but still said, i feel your pain. that's what obama's missing. he doesn't even pretend to care about the crises. >> bob, isn't everybody a partisan? except for like a joe lieberman. but if you're in a party, you're partisan. >> let's look at it historica y

historically. the left used to be much more powerful. clinton took it much more to the center. dealing with the republican party today, when you used to be able to deal with people like howard baker and bob dole and big people, then you could actually sit down and work out deals. in the house of representatives, they have refused to go to conference on anything. 80% have refused to go to conference, which is where most of this gets done. the problem is the republican party has elected a group of, i hate to say it, but they're midgets. and there is no big standing republican left that i can see, with the exception maybe being -- >> they're called little people, bob. >> sorry. >> i want you to apologize to dana. >> i apologize. seriously, i try to look across -- the democrats, i would say the same thing about for the most part. >> when republicans came to the table on immigration reform, the president demonized those who

didn't. even when they're willing to compromise, it doesn't matter because they get name called and thrown in the mud anyway, so what's the point? >> they never got to conference for immigration reform, that's the point. i still say the point is that there are no big players in either house that -- what? >> you're making arguments that all of a sudden by the time you walk back around, you actually nullified the point you made. >> i don't consider harry reid at the level of a lyndon johnson or somebody who was putting together deals. i can't find anybody in the republican party in either house that stands up to that -- that stands up to the everett dirksen level or howard baker level. >> are you texting? >> no, the reason this is relevant to the conversation, we're talking about president obama being disengaged. we've talked about that before. at 2:57 this afternoon, we get this news breaking on our blackberries that said marie harp from the state department

said they have confirmation, they believe, the state department believes that russians were firing at -- into ukraine territory. not russian separatists, actual russian military is firing. we've been going back and forth. yes, russians themselves are firing. now 2:57, two and a half hours since then, has president obama or anyone come out denouncing the russian government for firing into ukraine territory? no. hold on. but he did talk about his basketball -- he said 80% of his free throws give or take a few, his arm is tired. but nothing denouncing putin. >> isn't this silly to talk about his -- >> i think -- here's what i think, bob. i think this news that came out at 3:00 today -- >> by the state department. >> -- by the state department is massive. and no one is talking about. we should be talking about it, and they should be talking about it. >> the issue here, dana,

essentially the president belongs to the party of obama. which is a singular god. that we all aspire to but can never achieve. >> whoever the president is, that is the head of the party. so, yes, the democrats have to dance with the ones that won. and that happened to be president obama this time around. who knows who it will be next time. i do find -- partisan wasn't necessarily a bad word. it wasn't a negative word. you can be a partisan and not be a jerk, that is possible. it doesn't necessarily mean people are like that. but you can still go to conference, and have a bill and say, i'm for these principles, these are my principles. what are your principles? can we make a deal? you give that, i'll take this, done. it's not being partisan, just figuring out a way to compromise. >> to merge the partisanship issues. i don't think there's an issue in front of the congress with the exception of abortion that can't be resolved by reasonable people -- >> they went to conference over the debt ceiling and budget bill. and republicans caved.

on the payroll tax and a number of other things. and heard and caught hell from their base. now they're not giving the president his way. and that's just too bad. we can't compromise on everything. >> the base of the republican party has changed and moved way far right. it didn't used to be that way. >> we have the most -- this has to be the most successful, effective left-wing president in the history of the -- >> you're right, obama's trying to recreate a progressive movement in america. and he can't do it because there's not enough pieces to put it together. >> thank goodness. a brutal murderer was put to death for his crimes yesterday. the execution took a little longer than expected, and the media is going crazy. why doesn't he care as much about his victims, next.

yesterday death row inmate

joseph wood was executed in arizona, and some in the media are outraged over how long it took for him to die. >> the convicted killer should have died quickly from lethal injection. instead, it dragged out for almost two hours. it's raising questions about the death penalty. >> arizona takes nearly two hours to execute an inmate. the demand for answers after another botched death sentence. >> what went wrong, an execution in arizona goes on for two hours, some witnesses saying the inmate was gasping and snorting before dying. >> what about the victims, jean and debbie dietz. listen here to family members of the victims respond to the execution of the man who shot their loved ones in cold blood. >> everybody here, from what i heard, said it was excruciating. what's excruciating is seeing your dad lying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister

lying there in a pool of blood. this man deserved it. i shouldn't really call him a man. he deserved everything he had coming to him. >> this man, i mean, conducted a horrifying murder. and you guys are going, oh, let's worry about the drug and how he's affected. why didn't we give him a bullet? how would you feel if it was your family member? would you be talking about the drug or your family member? >> i'm not in favor of cruel and unusual punishment, but it's called the death penalty. we talked about this in other cases. the victims are always lost by the media. >> yeah. the media is notoriously liberal and against the death penalty, therefore, they focus on stories like these and they're less likely to look at the victims, at the victimizer, and as part of our modern culture. we find victims boring. we find villains interesting. fox news is fair and balanced,

because you need to hear those people. because it's the least fair and balanced news coverage when these things happen. they forget about the victims. and you only have so much sympathy in your life, and you should allocate it carefully. you should allocate it to the victims. you know, nobody wants some guy to suffer. but they suffered. they suffer more. >> dana, what do you think about this? the media certainly made a big deal about the treatment of this criminal on death row, because they said he gasped for a number of hours. and then they've been telling the tale, but a number of different executions have been botched. is this something we should be focusing on? >> i think the arizona taxpayers deserve some answers from the state government about what went wrong and how they could make sure that if they're going to have the death penalty, that it is done within the confines of what the law should be, and it comeports with people's compassion or empathy about the cruel and unusual punishment. there was one other point, we didn't play the sound byte, but

later on in her quote there, in the interview, the victims' sister said, it's ridiculous 25 years later to go through this appeal after appeal. it's ridiculous the paperwork i have. i would say if you are against the death penalty, that's where you could focus your efforts to help people deal with the judicial system and drags things out so long and makes it harder for someone like her, and the gentleman with her to get closure. >> eric, what do you think? you're pro-death penalty. you said just let him die. who cares how long it takes. >> i have no compassion, no empathy for the criminal. but there are ways -- the reason they get in this trouble is they found the electric chair wasn't -- was too cruel. the people were dying and things were happening. so they went to lethal injection. we can fix this. you're on death row. your time is up at the end of the week. i'll let you choose, you want a bullet, electric chair, lethal injection, or hang? it's up to you.

we know what the end result is gk to be. you know what, there's your compassion. that's where my compassion would end. >> bob, you know, i think used to be pro-death penalty and i've moderated my position because if you're pro-life, you need to be pro-life. we've seen some people get executed that i don't think should have been executed. but we've seen a lot of people executed in chicago without a peep from the left. so if you're going to be pro-life, which so many on the left are not, and the issue of abortion they're pro-choice, why don't they show their commitment to life across the board? >> well, listen, i happen to be a pro-life, and i am against the death penalty. one of the reasons i am is because the constitution does specifically say, the government, not other people, but the government does not have the right to involve themselves in cruel and unusual punishment. this was that instant. it was a mistake, probably. but the reason a number of states have cut back or frozen

the death penalty, many people have not been lawyered very well, did not commit crimes, putting away people who are not guilty. it seems to me you've got to take a hard look at this system and say we have to make sure we're not putting people to death that shouldn't be put to death. it needs to be done in a humane way, whether you like that word or not. >> the botched execution is called about the death penalty. i could be pro-life and death penalty. kill the guilty and protect the innocent. i don't think there's a hypocrisy there. >> i don't think there are many cases of executing the wrong guys. >> that's why i moderated, because there are instances where there have been innocent people executed. >> the jury's out on that. >> i think it's a lot less frequent than you'd say. >> it's less frequent. but if it happens one time,

isn't that enough? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. i don't know. what an interesting block where we have different views. a huge update on the christian mom sentenced to death in sudan for refusing to renounce her faith. we have a picture that you'll want to stick around to see, coming up. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse?

you're thinking beneful. [announcer]and why wouldn't he be? beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of

spinach,carrots and peas. it has carbohydrates for energy and protein for those serious muscles. [guy] aarrrrr! [announcer]even accents of vitamin-rich veggies. [guy] so happy! you love it so much. yes you do! but it's good for you,too. [announcer] healthful. flavorful. beneful. from purina.

corporate greed meets government greed. make the father a u.s. senator. moving her successful company overseas because the business environment her father's party has provided is so restrictive and expensive here, she feels it's her job to move out of the u.s. you know where i stand, i'm a free market capitalist, and i warned lawmakers for years this would happen.

people fleeing the u.s. taking high-paying jobs with them. >> i think that the law says she's allowed to go. i think you need to close the law. i'll try to get you the number, i can't give it to you exactly today, but i will by tomorrow, the number of foreign companies who move here and establish themselves as u.s. corporations. it goes both ways. it seems to be they're leading the way here by buying up pharmaceutical companies overseas. >> regardless, the reason why she did it is because they have the tax rate -- i think they're paying in the mid-20s or so. she's going to bring her tax rate down to 21% the first year. teens the second and third year going forward. who wouldn't make the move. you've got to make that move, right? >> most of the time people are in car wrecks or train wrecks. the reason companies are running away from the united states is a huge problem. president obama wants to keep

them here, wants to keep their wallet here. he said, we don't care if you go, just leave your money here. so many in the pharmaceutical industry like pfizer were the first to the table when it came to obamacare. they pushed for a law that would be imposed on everybody else, then pfizer tried to buy as tri zen i ka so they could stash their money away in ireland and be subject to the british tax rate. guess who gets stuck with the bill for the obamacare, the u.s. taxpayers. these inversions is what they're trying to do, what pfizer was trying to do, are the hottest issue in business right now. u.s. companies don't want to be here anymore. they want to be somewhere else, which tells them there's a real problem here at home. >> would it fix the problem to lower the corporate tax rate. they want to slap some sanctions, some fines, some fees, and force companies not to do it. >> well, in this day and age when government grows, that's compassion. when corporations grow, it's

greed. and what's amazing is, why are we worried about china right now? because they woke up. they woke up to capitalism. it's state-run. but it's capitalism. the result, massive eradication of poverty. the reason why the world has gotten better is because china's gotten better. the poverty level has lowered because of that. an explosion in new wealth. this is because communists are now better at capitalism than the capitalists. >> your thoughts on what the -- how to fix this? >> i think it's a simple question. should america be the best place in the world to do business or not? if the answer is yes, then we have one simple thing we can do, and that's the corporate tax rate. it traces it back to that one issue. interestingly, today, four democrats on the senate finance committee, carper bennett, and casey, all said they would not back president obama's proposal to -- >> we are sitting here talking about an infinitesimal number of

u.s. corporations. we're talking like there's a big flood of companies, and there are not. i like your idea. your idea is -- >> but there are little children leaving. >> that's how the democrats do it, when little children are coming in. it's babies. >> seriously, the reason they come here, the reason the foreign companies come here is we have the best workers, we have the best technology, the best universities. >> wait a minute. >> do you want to move to nairobi? >> president obama said this a few minutes ago. you have to listen to this line, fair share coming up once again. you wonder why i call this guy a socialist. listen. >> we need to stop companies from renouncing their citizenship just to get out of paying their fair share of taxes. let's everybody get together. democrats and republicans to deter companies from rushing to take advantage of this tax loophole, and let's make sure we're rewarding companies that are investing and paying their

fair share here in the united states. i'm not interested in punishing these companies, but i am interested in economic patriotism. >> bob, that is why we're talking about it. president obama decided to make this a campaign issue. we didn't come up with this on our own. the president and his staff decided this is what they're going to -- this is where they're going to place their flag in the ground. >> what is wrong with fair share? >> our tax rate is the highest in the world. >> oh, so what. we still make more money, make more profits. ta the dow jones. >> it will never be enough for you, will it, bob. why not make it 50%, or 55%. >> you didn't even know you were supposed to be defending president obama here. you're telling him not to run on this in the campaign because it doesn't make sense. >> it wasn't the corporations as much as the 1% of people who were trying to have some vacation money, save, maybe invest. he said that was greedy. that's called survival.

>> the hedge fund guys are more than surviving. >> you go an entire day without complaining, how about -- are any of us up to the challenge?

did you ever go three weeks without complaining. one guy did and said it's changed his life. he said at first he was only able to go 11 days without complaining. but eventually he was able to go all 24. would any of us at this table be able to do that? who's the biggest complainer around here? this is a television business and i discovered that it's just about everywhere. i do pride myself on not being much of a complainer. eric, do you think you're a complainer? >> i complain. but what's technically complaining? >> it's not being angry about something. complaining is the definition of it. >> i just really want to, you know, like when i complain, try to make the show better. i complain about some topics. >> complaining for a purpose. >> yes. >> is that why you do it so much?

>> how would you rate yourself from 1 to 10 in complaining? >> probably a 6, 7. >> 6, 7? >> depends on the day. >> keep going. >> if it's wi-fi, i would fix it. >> you were angry, because it didn't work. >> but then it got fixed. >> but instead of complaining about -- some people have the complaining in their dna. where would you put yourself on that scale? >> i am constantly complaining. i know that. but a complaint, remember, is a reminder of how lucky your life is. like people don't walk around and go, like, ow, this cancer is irritating. they're saying, damn it, the printer's not working. when your problems are the printer's not working, or that you can't find a taxi, and all these things, that pretty much means your life's okay. that's the way i look at it. >> that's interesting. what about you on 1 to 10? >> i don't complain very much. >> really?

>> really. >> i heard you complaining about vegetables. >> i definitely do not think i'm the biggest complainer at this table for sure. do i complain in life? yes, it's hard not to. >> i find complaining to be a sort of useless exercise. if you walk around this building, or any tv broadcast network, that's all you hear is complaints. >> complaints are necessary therapy. >> how do you make things better if you don't complain. >> it's just something you do to relieve stress. it's like getting -- loosening the screws. >> why do you think it's indigenous to the tv industry? >> i think it's everywhere. people complain all the time. >> we came out of politics where there's a lot of complaining. do you find the tv industry to be more complainers than political industry? >> not necessarily. >> really? >> i don't know. here's the thing, i think when you complain about the little stuff, that's what adds up and it weighs you down. so you can't complain that they have chicken noodle soup as a special two days in a row.

you should only complain about things you can control. and you can't control it, let it go. >> there are no big deals in my life except for death and taxes, i guess. one more thing is up next. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence.

it's one more part of our commitment to america.

time now for "one more

thing." thank you, greg, for that support. this is something that i would never, ever do. this is why i don't go whale watching, that's why i don't go on a kayak in the ocean. these people were kayaking off the coast of argentina. and they end up with a -- on the top -- on the back of a hump back whale in the ocean. now, bob, look at that. they're on -- >> that's scary. >> can you imagine? would you ever do that? >> no. >> because of the hump back whales? >> first gay marriage and now people jumping on whales. >> they were on a kayak. >> same thing. i'm writing an angry letter. >> we look forward to that complaint. >> thank you. >> how much people love apple. if you're apple, you've got to be feeling pretty good about this, only $20, put an apple emblem on it, and asked people how much they want this watch. take a listen. >> the latest from apple. it's the itime smart watch.

it tells you the date as well as the time. >> i think that's a neat feature. >> are you excited it's always in airplane mode? >> that's good. definitely saves on batteries. >> it has a timer. >> i just like that it has the insignia on the back. >> because it's apple, that would impress me. >> i would buy anything from apple. >> even a casio watch with a sticker on the back. >> how psyched are you right now if you're an apple shareholder. i'm excited. >> lebron james has decided to go back to cleveland, we knew that. he wrote a heart-felt letter that some say brought them to tears making his decision. frank cal yend oh did a brilliant job reading that letter. let me remind you, he did it in morgan freeman's voice. >> before anyone ever cared where i would play basketball, i was a kid from northeast ohio,

where i walked, where i ran, it's where i cried. i'm ready to accept the challenge. i'm coming home. >> that goes on for like three minutes. it was fantastic. that was on mike and mike in the morning show. >> that's a good show, right? >> you're next. >> as you know, i'm incredibly patriotic. but i hate july 4th, because everybody's wearing skimpy clothing, like halter tops and cutoffs. even the women. it's disgusting to me. to find a solution, we have a -- an american patriotic burka. now i can enjoy my fourth of july while subjugating my body to modesty. it's kind of cool under there. you don't have to wear that much. there's a website where you can order it. i'm sure you'll be flocking there as soon as this show is over. >> do they have them in your size? >> he has to have it hemmed. >> yes, yes.

>> thank you very much. >> bob? >> we all remember the woman that the sudanese government decided to put to death because she refused to denounce her christianity. she had her husband who was a christian, two children. but she chose to take the death penalty. fortunately, because of worldwide opinion, she got out of sudan, and she went to italy, to rome. and she met with the pope. and i want to congratulate the pope for doing that. i want to remind people that this is just another example of what happens in muslim countries to christians. and at some point, maybe the world will wake up, certainly the pope i hope wakes up on this, it is time for us to denounce them for what they are, which are barbarians, and people who mutilate people, people who kill people, and people who destroy christians who were there before their butts were there. so there you go. >> very powerful picture of the pope. i'm sure it will get worldwide recognition. >> i hope so. it's really -- the pope has not,

frankly, said that much about it. not a lot of other people have either. >> because the pope doesn't have an army. we have an army. see you back here tomorrow. officials at the state department and the pentagon say russia's military, not separatists, russia's military is attacking ukrainian military targets. this is "special report." good evening, i'm bret baier. it's been clear for quite some time that russia's been aiding the separatists. though there was no smoking gun, russia created the conditions that led to the shootdown of flight 17. but today we learned of a clear escalation. russia is directly firing at ukrainian forces. stev
