hello, everyone. itis 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." a cease-fire that was supposed to last three days in the middle east didn't even last three hours after hamas killed two israeli soldiers and captured a third. a short while ago, president obama held a news conference and addressed the crisis. he says it will be difficult to put a deal back together, but the u.s. will keep >> i think it's going to be very hard to put a cease-fire back together again. if the israelis and the international community can't feel confident that hamas can

follow through on a cease-fire commitment. i think that there's a lot of anger and there's a lot of despair and that's a volatile mix. but we have to keep trying. >> secretary of state john kerry has come under fire for his messesy diplomacy throughout all of this. but the president is staunchly standing by him. >> let me take this opportunity, by the way, to give secretary john kerry credit. he has been persistent. he e has worked very hard. he has endured on many occasions really unfair criticism. we should all be supporting him. this shouldn't be a bunch of complaints and second guessing about, well, it hasn't happened yet or nitpicking before he's had a chance to complete his efforts. >> stop the nitpicking, greg. >> that cease-fire lasted about as long as alec baldwin's talk show.

but we knew this because we talked about this earlier this week, that a cease-fire and hamass means sucker. but what kills me e is watching the media grasp the ruse of the cease-fire on other networks. it's like they're discovering that water is wet. if you're surprised that hamas used a cease-fire to attack, then you must be shocked every time you wake up and see the sun because everybody knew this was happening. it's crazy. crazy to be surprised. >> so the president sees already that this is a struggle that it's going to be tough to put a deal back together but supporting his secretary of state. >> the secretary of state has the president's full confidence. the problem is the rest of the world does not. but it's important for the secretary of state, john kerry, for -- it was important to him and his credibility so that when he goes back to the table and tries again it's good for him for everybody in the world to know president obama still has confidence in him and that's really all he needs at least to

keep his job. to be effective, i think that's going to be another question. and in particular with the cease-fire, you saw yesterday we broke into this news program, shepard smith did, to announce that john kerry has just announced that there's going to be this cease-fire. and we said hopefully, like, rewe hope that will work, but who actually believes it's going to. it was almost like this exercise in futility just to do public relations. the best thing the white house could do now is let hamas be hamas and israel be israel. let e them fight, stand aside, and do not be complicit in hamas' ruse and their scheme to call a cease-fire and then to end it and try to pretend in their minds that they are making it worse for israel. i actually think hamas is losing the pr battle, far from what the media has said about israel. i think hamas is losing a lot of ground. >> where is their credibility, andrew, because they're the ones that violated the cease-fire five separate occasions and now have gone to the great lengths to kidnap an israeli soldier.

that tells me the situation has escalated because now israel has no recourse but to dee stroi hamas and get their soldier back. >> but as greg appointmented out, is this really a surprise? i think that's what was so troubling today was watching president obama. he sounded miffed at hamas, and he did sound shocked that they actually broke the cease-fire. they're a terrorist organization, and i think what we've seen over the last couple of weeks, kimberly, is this administration, which in its comments about this conflict, legitimizes hamas. we've heard nancy pelosi say they're a humanitarian organization, jen socki at the state department, extreme naivete. hillary clinton explaining away why they've put their missiles in certain areas. they have been bungling this thing from the beginning, and we need to get out of the way. we need to let israel destroy them. who cares about the pr war. from the get-go, arguably the united states has made this worse. you could eve gone back to when the united states of america told hosni mubarak to step

aside, the muslim brotherhood sought ascendancy. the muslim brotherhood is aligned with hamas, not in power anymore, but we've had gadhafi step aside, isis grow stronger in syria and now move into iraq. we have arguably, because u.s. power is receding, allowed for this vacuum to happen and allowed for terrorist organizations like hamas to get stronger. and by legitimizing them and brokering the ceasefire we knew was a joke, we actually i think emboldened them to do to more because they say, look, the united states treats us like we're a serious organization and not a terrorist organization, which is a huge mistake. >> juan, where do we go from here? >> well, i hope that we go back to, you know, persistence with regard to trying to stop the bloodshed, because i think -- you know, i listen to what you guys are saying and i think, wait a second, you know, i think it's more than 1,400 palestinians dead. not only, that 63 israeli soldiers. we got this israeli soldier now that's missing, again. what do you think the hamas

people are going do? they're going to hold that young man and it's going to be a terrible situation for the israelis on the ground. >> try and get e another soldier swap. they got a thousand last time. >> even though hamas is a terrorist organization, although i must say they have tremendous support, obviously, we've seen elections in the palestinian ranks in gaza, what we need to do is not say it's just about hamas and israel. i think you've got to say -- you got to see the larger implications for the region. charles krauthammer had an excellent column today talking about how so many of the arab nations are not supportive of hamas. that could open a door in terms of what john kerry is doing to gain support for israel. let's do away with all these arguments about israel's rights, let's move on, get back to the idea of co-existence and some kind of peace. and i certainly would say to you, don't give israel permission, then, because we e approve of israel and they're our allies, to just annihilate the -- >> why not? they need to destroy hamas.

>> destroy hamas but there are children and people there. >> people with the opportunity want to go to the mus lum countries. john kerry this messed that up last weekend. >> this is not over. >> it is. our credibility is. >> it's not a divorce. >> it's worse. >> that was the point i was going to make, that kerry went to the people that like hamas. >> that's right. >> it is refreshing to know that there are arabs around the world who are disgusted by hamas. i feel bad for the palestinians. they're like a family with a horrible thug far brother and a brother who keeps inviting trouble back to their house. he's always there. the cops keep showing up. that thugish brother is hamas. and the family, the palestinians, pay the price so, i think it's time that -- and i agree with andrea and i think a lot of arab countries agree, just let israel be israel. and get rid of this -- the problem with cease-fire is that actually extend the suffering because it allows thome reload. >> it's phony.

the cease-fires are a joke. it's like semantic gymnastics. they don't even understand what cease-fire means. they just laugh all the way. they're like, an hour's passed. >> they were texting israelis, laughing at them for running. >> yeah. >> i agree, krauthammer's op-ed ed was really good and i agree the point he was making. however, charles' column was a criticism of john kerry. what he said was kerry legitimized hamas' war on criminality, which makes his advocacy of hamas' turns not just a strategic blunder just when a wall-to-wall arab front wants to get going but a moral disgrace. it was a criticism of the policies up to now that has made all these arab countries be on the side of the israelis. now, perhaps that's an opportunity and now the president can say, you know what, john kerry, let's change our tactic, let's make work with them and push behind the israelis. but i just want to make sure that it's clear, i think the kol

sum great, but it wasn't suggesting that john kerry has done this with skill. >> no, no, no. it was critical, but it has opened the door, clearly, this moment where you have the arab world opposed to hamas is an opportunity now i think to put added pressure on hamas and to build bonds with israel that would pay off on a deal. >> not just hamas. there is a change in the global war on terror. not just hamas but the conflict in syria with the the extremists and then isis. >> and fear of iran ultimately. >> i happen to think we are in world war iii, the global war on terror. >> if we are, what is the position and the role of the united states? you have a president admitting to broker a deal at this point is going to be very difficult, challenging at best. take a listen for the president claiming that the united states has not lost its influence. >> has the united states of america lost its influence in the world? have you lost yours? >> yeah, look, this is a common

theme that folks bring up. apparently people have forgotten that america as the most powerful country on earth still does not control everything around the world. >> what are we in charge of or in control of in terms of our foreign diplomacy at this point? >> i don't know. i mean, it's all about leading from behind and this is what happens. right now there are jews being attacked all over the world -- france, germany, austria, and even in boston there were a bunch of students that were swarmed, a bunch of jewish students swarmed by a mob of screaming bigots. you know, i don't hear the president talking about that. but i also don't hear the media. instead, i hear the media saying that israel is losing the media war as they help israel lose the media war. they're propagandists for pain. and trying to broker a deal between hamas and israel, would you broker a deal between an

abused woman and her abusive stalker? you wouldn't. you would get rid of the abusive stalker. >> you would punish them and stop it. >> right. >> i don't think anybody at the table disputes the idea that israel is by far the superior military power. >> yes. >> there is no way hamas can defeat israel. >> that's that faulty logic. >> tell me why. >> because just because you're superior militarily doesn't mean you invite attack. i've seen this happen before. there was the guy who runs the palestinian center, said that zreels at fault of the broken cease-fire because israel is far superior. so no matter what happens, no matter what happens, it's going to be israel's fault because they're better at killing than you are. >> no, that's not the argument. the argument would be they are so far superior in terms of military might, that they are in position to exercise some restraint in this situation and help create a peace -- >> restraint of 30 underground terror tunnels. how do you exercise restraint when they're digging underneath

you? >> these people are a guerrilla organization and play by no rules, and nobody's making excuses for them. you can't excuse all the killing. >> you could go back to his speech about 67 borders, look at him telling israel they need to have restraint. president obama, when he answered the question today, and he dee nighed that we've lost influence, i would say we've had the wrong influence. and if you look at all these different forces, i went through egypt and syria, we seem to be backing the wrong horse and we treat israel like a frenemy. and that's why we've been all over the place. so today when the president said israel has a right to defend itself, there's always a caveat there. israel has a right to defend itself if it uses restraint. israel is the only country, it seems, that is not allowed to defend itself. it should be allowed to wipe hamas off the map. it's been patient, shown restraint. enough is enough. we need to get out of the way so they can do it. >> no doubt which side netanyahu will choose. >> one other thing, and i know we have to go, there is a report

that's probably not going to get enough attention as it should. it was led by former secretary of defense william perry and united states army john abizaid. basically they had to look at the military spending of the last several years, the obama administration's four-year defense strategy. they sate lacks funding needed for fulfilling the responsibilities, and then it says the gap is disturbing if not dangerous in light of the fact that global threats and challenges are rising. it's a very interesting report that if you're a serious policy person, i think you could take a look at that, and in washington hopefully there are some cooler heads that could prevail and come together and say, facing all of these global threats we've all just talked about, what is the position that we should take in the next budget cycle in order to try to right the ship that we up and did? >> get ahead of it instead of coming from behind. great idea. next, the president vowed again to act alone to resolve the crisis at the border and of course he spent a great deal of time mocking republicans at the podium. the update coming up on "the

five."

president obama addressed

imgrace today. while doing so he took an opportunity to take some shots at one of his favorite targets, the gop. >> house republicans, as we speak, are trying to pass the most extreme and unworkable version of the bill that they already know is going nowhere, and stha can't paz the bill. they can't even pass their own version of the bill. this is a message bill that they couldn't quite pull off yesterday so they made it a little more extreme so maybe they can pass it today, just so they can check a box before they're leaving town for a month. >> obama reiterated that he is ready to go it alone. >> while they're out on vacation, i'm going to have to make some tough choices to meet the challenge with or without congress. we're going to have to act alone because we don't have enough resouerss. we've already been very clear -- we've run out of money and we are going to have to reallocate

resoue resouerss in order to just make sure that some of the basic functions that have to take place down there -- >> so andrea, he's say, geez, the republicans haven't done anything so i'm going to have to go it alone. what's interesting to me is yesterday when they didn't do anything, they actually said the president probably should do something under his own authority and i was totally mixed up because i remember they're mad at him for exercising too much executive authority. >> exactly what they said yesterday. i would argue they didn't do anything yesterday and what they did was brought a bill to the floor and didn't have the votesened had to pull the bill. there's going to be a vote this evening and i believe they will pass it. house leaders sat down with my kjell bachmann and others who were no votes on this and knocked some sense into them. i have gotten the sense that there's a lot of members that feel that they can't sue the president for doing too much and then leave town without doing anything.

so they're trying to do something. they're trying to go back in their districts and say they're doing something. the fact that the senate is gone tells me nothing is going to get done on this, and the president couldn't be more delighted that he gets to point to his pen and act on his own. this is exactly what he wants and it is upsetting to see the -- >> yeah, that's what i'm hearing in your voice. you're upset with the republicans. >> i'm frustrated. there's a lot of disorganization and the bill they put on the floor yesterday would have fixed that loophole in the law that would apply to central american kids, would have provided more border security. it was a pretty good bill. they just didn't have their act together and i'm still shocked they brought it to the floor. >> all right. i think i'm going to be quiet because i don't want to get in the way of this, but dana, what is the problem? >> well, here's one problem. the president had a spokesperson today tell "the washington post" on background, of course, that the president could agree with 80% of the house bill. so to meitis not that extreme.

if you can get 80% agreement, reasonable people, leaders should be able to figure out the last 20%. the rules committee meets tonight. make sure the guards go back to the boarder, the children back to their home country, and we await reform. the president complains the republicans couldn't pass a bill. they will tonight. it doesn't matter because it's the senate democrats who control the calendar and they're not in town e either. he spent all this time complaining about republicans when the senate didn't even pass -- >> procedurally it can't get done. that's the point. >> but he still had the opportunity to blame them so the gop looked bad and that's what the mainstream media picks up. they don't understand the rest of the policy. >> you're upset with so many people but let me just say -- >> not many. just three or four. >> let me just say they know there's no way that the democrats in the house or the senate or the president are going to go along with changes to the process -- >> but he said 80% --

>> 80% security. >> are you telling me people in washington couldn't get together and work out a compromise on 80% of a bill? that's pathetic. and the tone comes from the top in washington? >> wait a minute. it was republicans who couldn't pass it yesterday. >> but they're passing it tonight. >> senate democrats -- >> they made it more extreme. >> no they didn't. not tonight. that's why they're going to be able to get it passed. >> this is why i go back to what i said yesterday, that certain elements of the government have to be run by rho bolts because the solution to immigration -- the immigration problem is very simple. you build a highway, then you push it upand it's called a wal. you create tons of jobs, create security, and it's fantastic. politicians take vacations. robots are immune to emotions and rhetoric and ego. back to the president. this is a pattern. obama cannot operate unless there is a crisis, and he e knew this was coming, but he waited until last minute. and that's the scam of president

obama. they say he's no drama obama, but he creates more drama than dick wolf. he's a walking "law and order" franchise. wherever he goes, everything falls apart. then he is there to go, hey, look, everything's falling apart. everything's falling -- do something. by the way, don't you love the "you guys are going on vacati vacation." this guy's been on a vacation more times than chevy chase. >> going to martha's vineyard. >> here's nancy pelosi talking about what republicans are doing to these children. >> to follow up on their tirade against these poor children, they have a bill that is so bad but it's not bad enough for some of their outside groups. and so in order to sweeten the pie for them and intensify the harm for the children, they've added another bill to follow.

>> i'm sorry. that was excruciating, it was so slow. >> but what do you think about the idea that somehow she's saying republicans are really beating up, demonizing children? >> no, they're not. >> just emotions -- >> she says it's true that everyone will believe it. >> you can use this against her. why does she hate poor children? she's egging them on to travel across a couple of countries. >> nancy pelosi getting those kids to come here. >> she makes the wicked witch look like mary poppins. >> and the drug dealers, they're nice people. >> helping them too. >> helping them too. >> drug cartels. >> if you were against minimum wage, you hate the poor. if you like hobby lobby, you hate women. if you're for the border, you hate kids. if you support israel, you hate arabic kids. anytime you disagree with a leftist it's a human rights violation. if i don't hand my wallet over the a mugger, that's a human rights violation. >> i actually think she's overplaying her handle and she

tends to do that a lot hyperbole. saying they hate kids is quite a stretch, especially since the bill the house tried to pass yesterday provided for the care of these kids. you could argue, yes, she is not for american kids because these immigrant kids take away services or she's pro rate because a lot of these young girls are coming across the border. she doesn't want to fix the loophole and do anything about it. >> what andrea just said is actually just the antidote to what pelosi said. it is not too extreme. what pelosi is saying, you've heard so it much, you get immune to it. >> let me ask one last thing. >> there is no crisis that trumps politics for the democrats. >> all right, all right. so let's go to politics very quickly before we have to go. do you think -- and i'm hear eing this from some senate republicans, boy, you house guys are making trouble for the midterms. because right now you're giving the democrats -- >> you don't think there are senate republicans that are making problems for the midterm?

i think they have problems within their own -- >> okay. okay. i just wanted to put it out there. we got to go. coming up, president obama says he wants some people to stop all the -- how do you like this -- hate, hate. but greg's going to take him to task for that remark coming up next.

how does president obama feel about mean people who don't agree with him? i wonder if he says some of the things he's doing without congress make a difference. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out. >> some of the things we're doing without congress are making a difference, but we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit.

stop being mad all the time. stop. stop. stop this hating all the time. >> applause is his lubricant. just stop hating. obama is now sounding like a whiny pop star who ease peeved at critics for pan his last record. and republicans of course are the evil paparazzi. i'm waiting for him to yell, do you know who i am, at a maitre d'? he says stop just hating all the time. perhaps one of the most adolescent blurbs to spill out from an adult male's face. seriously, was that lifted from justin bieber's blog? is it the title of a new katy perry song? if so, give clert for it before writing it on the insite of your lock we are a magic marker. the problem is it began with obama's own belief born from the

polluted canvas that proclaimed the greatest country ever was actually pretty awful and needed fundamental change. i wouldn't call that hate but sowing the seeds of discontent with where the president got where he got today and how the polls suggest the same act him. i'm sure the nice people of america would like to stop hating if only he would go first. juan, how do we stop the hate? >> i don't know, brother. it would be good if we could stop the hate. >> but you can't stop the hate, can you. it's too late. hate feels good and hate pays. you know what i'm saying? >> it gets applause. >> it does. you like that. he's having fun there, dana. >> the press conference when he asked three times if anyone was going to wish him happy birthday. if the press corps would just break out into applause. >> does calling people haters, does that elevate the conversation? >> oh, definitely.

i should have written that in to some of president bush's remarks. that could help bring the country together, get some real accomplishments on the table. definitely. take that under advisement. >> andrea or eric, after the resignment surgery -- well done -- >> thank you. >> fantastic. >> not as tan this time. >> exactly. >> the hair looks fabulous. >> hair looks amazing. where is your lapel pin? how do you debate somebody if your opposition doesn't think you're just wrong but actually thinks you're evil? because that's always been the problem is the left, as we've seen in the last few blocks, always said that you hate children, you're evil so, they're not really disagreeing with you, they're condemning you. >> it is really tough for republicans. what are they supposed to say? i don't hate you, mr. obama. i like you. i just don't like your policies. then he wins because he gets them off message. i joked that this seems like a student council, but it really does. you have the spokeswoman at the

state department using magic markers and crayons, doing selfie diplomacy. he's quoting from, you know, hip-hop songs, stop hating all the time. it feels very sixth grade, feels very immature. although i know that he doesn't want to lose the senate on his watch because he thinks it would be embarrassing. however, it would be the best thing for him politically because you see how he demonizes a congress that's only one-half majority in the house of republicans. if he had a full republican senate and house, could you imagine the next two years? >> yeah. >> he could really be -- i mean, they're just against me. that's exactly what he e wants. >> you don't give any credibility to the idea that congress' rate rgs in the tank? republicans and democrats. >> he's helped put them there, as well, chas problem for the people that he actually wants t. why should we stop the hate? so many things to hate. solar power. all the regulations. >> we're missing the most important story of the week and

i want to get your feelings on this. maggie gyllenhaal, esteemed actress, has come out strongly against e obama. she supported him far while. let's look at this tape. >> you have said that obama has broken your heart. would you like to say why? >> i really believed in him and i'm not sure what he believes in anymore. i root for him. i hope for him. one day i think he's going to come out and stand up for all the things that he promised he was going to stand up for. but i feel a little hopeless right now. >> i feel hopeless too. >> i feel so sad. worse than when i watched "the notebook." is she kidding me? i cried about my seventh grade boyfriend like this. she needs to snap it together and realize the reality of the situation. he's still trying to please her. >> yes. >> what is he doing that she's so upset about? >> he's not left wing enough? >> doesn't that just say how

emotional -- they are enraptured by him, motionly invested, not logically. they are emotionally in love with him. >> they say people against rim hymn are blinded by their hatred of him. that's where we start. inch it back together. >> they are in love and we are blinded by hate. >> there you go. >> i think we solved a couple problems today and i think we should just end the show now. ahead, if you want to be happier in life, dana will tell you where to move to.

if you'. unhappy for a while, you might want to consider moving. the list is out of the happiest city in america e, p top five in louisiana and the bottom five scattered throughout the country. but the prize for the least happiest si goes to ours truly,

new york city. no surprise there. but let's start with greg. off theory as to why louisiana has the top five spots? >> well, here's my theory on why cities like new york are miserable and cities in louisiana aren't. religion is a factor. religion, studies show that in religious areas people tend to be happier than the nonreligion, and there tend to be more people who are religious in louisiana, not new york, which is an awful place. i just hate it. >> what do you hate the most? >> i hate the fact that nothing ever stops and there's no escape. i lived in allentown in the lehigh valley for ten years. when i moved to allentown in 1990, it was listed as the worst city in the world but it was the greatest city because you could go anywhere that wasn't allentown because you could just leave and come back. neil, you suck. it's a hellhole. >> a lot of places -- >> somebody call his counselor.

>> wow. >> remember on new year's eve i started a resolution where every day i'd have to write down one thing a day i like about new york. >> how's that going? >> some days it was a real struggle. well, my doorman says hi to me. you had to, like -- now there are days when new york is amazing and awesome, but typically it's a rough place to live, don't you think, kimberly? >> poor us. poor, poor us. >> i do, because i didn't know these big window machines that are some sort of air conditioning thing that jut out of your window, that's what they have for air conditioning. i'm from california. the other reason i don't like new york city is adjusting to the food here. he gets traumatized by his stomach issues and we hear about it. >> most of the city in the top ten are in southern states except for number six, rochester, minnesota, which could have a religion component. but do you think the weather has something to do with it? >> 1,000%.

i'm a huge weather person so i love miami and california, and the weather here on the east coast is really hard. it's getting worse it seems. it's so loud here. it's just so loud all the time. and it's so hard to get everywhere. like everything up to do in new york is difficult. i have a very love/hate with new york, plus it's very, very expensive. the best e part of new york i think is the food. and when you're like on some rooftop and it's really quiet when you're hugh up and you can see the skyline, you're like this is a nice city. >> then you jump. >> the key to new york is being able to get out and leave. >> you're absolutely right. >> the best part is jfk? >> yeah. >> or laguardia or newark. >> i'm curious how you would compare d.c. to the rest of these cities because it's one thing to work there and sort of hate d.c. for what it stands for or doesn't do, but when you live there, kind of a nice thing. >> lovely place to live. beautiful city. it's one of the most second to san francisco in terms of beautiful cities, washington, d.c. i think you're right.

>> and the great things, because, you know, i grew up in new york city. i grew up in brooklyn. but i must say i love the energy of new york coming and going in and out. >> a nice place to do business. >> to visit and to eat, right. except for greg's stomach. a great place to eat. on the other hand, you guys are so cranky today. >> we are. you know what, that's the point. so why are -- why is new york considered so unhappy? because big cities attract people who are difficulto satisfy. so you're hearing a bunch of whirns right now, but new york attracts people who are -- >> but the wealthiest areas are the least happy areas. how does that compute? >> say if you lived in allentown where it's inexpensive, you don't have to make a lot of money to actually get e the things you want. >> you know what i think, if you know the neighbors, know the people around you and you build relationships, it's hardener new york. >> i was born in allentown and i agree, it's a lovely place to grow up, but you can see the

trees and the sun and it's a slower pace. that's why people like the south. >> they have back yards. >> you never had one of those? >> there's such a horrible joke there. >> please. >> i almost bombed myself. >> dwoent want to get called into a meeting, okay? >> i'm going to say i don't get it but greg will probably tell me on the break what that meant. katy perry wants a baby with or without a man in her life. she says it's 2014. so what's the big deal? we'll discuss next. ♪

fathers add real value. >> she's not talking about the child. the child would say i'd like to have two parents, i'd like to have somebody walk me to the park while mom is out on her tour as opposed to the latest nanny. please. i mean, talk about someone who's irresponsible. >> dana, did you see what she meant? >> her first husband was russell brantt. >> exactly. >> i have three friends who made this choice, one adopted and two in vitro. they don't have millions in the bank but they have means in order to take care of themselves and a child financially and they have one in particular has family that lives nearby and they're making it work. i love the father figure idea, but maybe there's not enough research to show that women like katy perry can make it work. >> if you continuously tell a certain demographic that you

don't need them, jennifer anist aniston, we don't need you, eventually men believe it and say, okay, since you don't need me, i'll sit on my couch and play video games, go at it alone. maybe that contributes to the lack of good men that katy perry can find. >> maybe that's a theory pip think this is all the aftermath of russell brantt. he's a slow lawrence with an accent. it will take ten years for her to like men again. kimberly said it provides a safety net for risky behavior that everybody else doesn't have. this is new to women but not so new to men. in the '70s, '80s, '90s, a rock star could engage in any kind of self-destructive lifestyle with a range of female groupies, do the drugs, have the sex, then he would leave town and what's left over is all these people who don't have the luxury, who don't have the doctors, don't have the money and they're called the groupies. she's basically saying i can do this and anybody who follows me probably can't.

>> who would want to do it? when you ask most women, the reason they turn to in vitro or single mother is because they couldn't find their mr. right. they wanted them. wished they could have find them.

time for "one more thing." >> today is august 1st. a little test, everybody. true or false, august 24th will have five fridays, five saturdays, five sundays, such an vent won't happen again for 823 years. not true! urban legend. it's all over the internet but it's not true. in fact, the last one was march of 2013, next one may of 2015. next time there will be five fridays, saturdays, and sundays again in an august, august 2025, 11 years from now. so don't buy this urban legend, america. >> it's also ed gillespie's birthday. >> happy birthday, ed gillespie. >> thank god we debunked that. ? and my grandchildren. >> your twins? >> yeah. >> and you led with that "one more thing"? >> happy birthday. >> it's over because we used all our time. >> i talked to chris taylor of reuters, great guy, they do a

series at reuters about people's first summer job. so this week it was jason rasz, who was a fence builder and said it was sweaty, hard work. brian williams was a lawn guy. i was a telemarketer and i sold a thing called the nordic chair, which was part of the nordic track combination. it was incredible, the nordic chair. my favorite was jose molina, he was a wrestling photographer. he loved wrestling and he went and took photos and then he would sell them to magazines. quite an entrepreneur. you want to, tweet me what your favorite first job was. >> for a long time i used to tell people i was a wrestling photographer. >> very disturbing news out of scottsdale, arizona, a petting zoo has created a half sheep, half goat hybrid called a geep. there it is. >> aw. >> the geep. it's an abomination of nature. the geep's name is butterfly. it is an affront to me

personally. i told you this would happen. first gay marriage, now we have geeps! >> okay. that was weird. >> a story that the mainstream media is missing, cia director john brennan, two democratic senators today, udall and hinrich called for his resignation after brennan lied under oath and said they did not, the cia, hack into senate computers. all i have to say is imagine if bush administration's administration would have done something like this. and also we have the best hair and makeup teams at the fox news channel and we're losing one today. asiana morgan, who's done our hair and makeup seven, eight years, is retiring. that's a par fi we threw for her. myself, kimberly and sandra smith. we wish her the best. >> she got married. >> she sure did. >> okay. moving on to exciting, sit latilate i -- titillating things that include vice president biden likes to skinny dip.

it's for real. so apparently this is a very difficult detail. the second worst one is hillary clinton, sorry, have a good weekend. >> ew. favorite dog. i'm alone on vacation for two weeks. see you soon. i'm megyn kelly. this is a fox news alert. the temporary truce between israel and hamas collapsed just two hours after the cease-fire began on friday morning. welcome to "hannity." i'm monica crowley in tonight for sean. violence is escalating in the gaza region again as the israeli military fears one of its soldiers may have been captured by hamas militants. for the very latest we turn to fox news's own conor powell on the ground in gaza city. conor. >> reporter: monica, this cease-fire crumbled even before it really started. it's not clear that ever was taken hold by either israel or hamas. both sides of course not surprisingly blaming each other for the failure of it. but some time
