i'm greg gutfeld with kimberly guilfoyle, geraldo rivera, eric bolling and she naps on a cotton ball, dana perino. "the five"! we've heard there's a civil war in the republican party. but there's nothing civil about it. you're either pro trump or never trump. inside or out, elitist or crazy. how did we get here? how do we get out? we can handle differences with the left, but not with allies who disagree. the current conflict derived from defining by difference when you say you're against something instead of what you're for. throw the bums out is the gold standard of such thinking, targeting obviously politicians. but decisions made in anger,

they don't work when you're buying a car or a house. why employ it when picking a president? because let's face it, it feels awesome. even if the pleasur is inversely proportional to the reward. for anger undermines reason, it incite as blame war if it all goes to hell. is it time for the great men, an am midwesty among the allies, a willingness to replace anger with humor and laugh off the division instead of ending old friendships? this season has done something to the right. something new, conflating the political with the personal. unlike the left, our lives never hinged on politics. we actually had lives. 2016 changed that. we need to change it back. to a cheerful aloofness. like a pal who married someone you can't stand, you learn to live with whatever they love about him or her. you could forever question their intent, but ultimately you let them live with the choices they

make. even if you must live with them, too. >> i think it's okay to have differences, i call on myself. i really do. because when you think about a lot of people saying let's unite the party, get under one tent. i totally get that, because i don't want the democrats to take the white house, i don't endorse the snd kndcy of hillary clinton. joe biden i don't mind, per se. but it's okay for people to have differences to ultimately make the party broader. pro trump or pro cruz, that perhaps weren't engaged in the process and now they feel invigorated and passionate. i like the idea of discourse and i like the idea of differences and people advocating and sharing their voice about what they believe in. right? it makes us better. >> and i do think criticism is the engine of such reason. eric, safely say we've never seen this kind of conflict among friends, right? >> it's amazing how people on the right, will attack.

so if you're perceived as pro trump or trump supporter, the cruz people -- you say one thing, even if it's just a statistic. you're in the tank or you're working for him. he's paying you. or on the other side, i'm sure the people who are pro cruz are getting it from the trump people what a divide this has created. unfortunately who is benefitting from it -- hillary clinton and the democrats. at some point, whenever it is, the we need to coalesce around someone. >> 1237. >> you said in your monologue, it's bringing people to the process. i was having dinner with friends, he was like, i've never paid attention to politics, so this is good. and the turn-out, the numbers on the gop sigh up 65%. i saw a stat today, trump is 10.1 million votes. he will break the record all-time held by george w. bush in 2000, who had 10.8 million through the whole primary

process, it's only one or two more contests and trump is going to break that number. people are engaged and they're in tune is to what's going on. >> i will argue, not saying that he's bringing people in that aren't voting for him, too. >> hasn't locked it down. right now he has 200,000 more votes than romney had in the whole year of 2012 and trump still hasn't locked down the nomination. >> dana -- >> the picture in the back looked like there was somebody standing over eric's shoulder when we were there and i was a little -- it was weird. >> were you going to call the secret service? >> you see what i mean? i thought somebody was coming to get geraldo. >> we can dream. >> i am beloved in this city. >> i think part of this thing that has ruled it is the media. you could pay attention to -- the news, you could read the newspaper, you could watch the evening news, you could maybe go to a town hall meeting. but you actually had to get, it used to be that you got your

notifications from the republican party in the mail. and then you went down to the event and now you can participate all day long. and i do think there's a little bit of fatigue that could settle in. a lot of people in europe will ask, all around the world -- why your campaigns last for two years? when newer britain you call an election and it will be six weeks from now. it's wait that we have it. i think the alienation that comes from that is real and is hard to overcome. >> and yet, you have the situation where donald trump is saying very nice things about marco rubio. who would have figured that would ever be healed? >> wow. >> well healed on whose side? healed on the part of the attacker, right? >> i haven't heard rubio say anything negative about -- >> he hasn't said anything. >> fair point. but with trump trying to mend the rubio gap, and remember little marco and the who's johnson is bigger and all the

rest of that. >> what does that mean? >> cut it out. >> i think with cruz and trump, the gap is irreparable. it seems to me that there's such -- look, cruz has not been able to heal the gulf between himself and his fellow republicans in the united states senate. why should look at the relationship with the former speaker of the house, john boehner. that chasm is, may be unbridgeable. >> i think can we admit that trump isn't as dangerous as critics think. he's not as great as supporters think. the truth is always somewhere in the middle. right? >> i think that, of course you're going to see some interesting alliances come out of this. if the polls continue to hold, you've got six percentage points that trump is ahead so far of cruz in indiana. if he's able to get indiana, i mean really there's going to be a strong argument, why does cruz stay in. it's all riding that on the

house in vegas. >> good transition. bobby knight if there would be any basketball coach that would endorse trump and you had to guess who it would be if it were a "jeopardy" question, would you say bobby knight. he had a very colorful speech today, let's roll a little. >> i'm not here to represent the republican party. quite frankly, i don't give a damn about the republicans. and then on the other hand, i don't give a damn about the democrats, either. this man is not a republican, he's not a democrat. at heart, he's just a great american. >> you know, dana, it's kind of like the pope endorsing you for mayor of vatican city. for indiana. because he's such a big -- he's a big character. >> yes, he is. >> i think one of the things that he was talking about, you talk about the rejection of ideology. think about some people that i grew up with in colorado and

wyoming who have strong feelings in this election. feel like they don't have anyone to vote for at the moment. the litmus test that you have to check all of these boxes and then you can be in the party, republicans or democrats, there are people that for many years have just rejected that. and sort of felt like, i think that's why you got people that used to say, i'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal. didn't want to have to be put in the box. and millennials in particular, they don't like to be labeled. which is why you see in the majority of the country, the pew report last year for the first time showed that neither republicans nor democrats have a majority of affiliation in the country. there are independents, there's a realignment happening and i think part of it is what bobby knight was talking about, he doesn't care about the party. he just cares for the results and hopefully for a better america. >> donald trump plays these things so well. ted cruz has the carly fiorina announcement, the vp announcement.

bobby knight was an amazing basketball coach. but he broke all the rules. even beyond unconventional. he broke the rules. >> he hit players. >> punched a player. >> he did the things that you go, you can't do that, you can't do that right now. but you know what he did also? he won basketball games, he won championships, he was the best coach i think maybe besides coach k ever to grace college basketball. he is, trump is the, embodiment of bobby knight in politics. >> bobby knight speaks the truth and i've been trying to make that point. he's correct when he says trump not a republican and he's not a democrat. i remember when i spoke to trump about running for president, years ago, he was going to run as a democrat. now he's a republican. not only is he a run, he's an anti-aborti anti-abortion, anti-immigration republican, he's a conservative republican. i think trump has evolved. i think trump is trump. i think he is, a cult

personality, is huge, i think he's a movie star and i think he's a very formidable candidate and i wish cruz would just go home. >> if that is true, part of the thing of argumentation is putting yourself in somebody else's shoes, you're asking life-long republicans who believe in the party and want to preserve the principles, to vote for somebody who says they don't care about the party. i do think that alienation is real and no republican has won if they didn't have 90% of republicans voting for them. that's true for democrats, too. easier for them to do this year. you've got to figure out a way to heal that up and i think the alienation being so deep. i think it's hard to get to 90% right now. anything can happen. >> how do you do it? >> there were decisions that were made early on that i think when you, when the history of this is all written, say donald trump becomes president, it will say didn't matter. that's fine. if he doesn't, think you could point to several things and say

that was so alienating for certain people. take your pick about whatever issue it is. i think it will be hard to overcome. >> do you not think that this never frump crowd and the establishment who has decided,less derail trump rather than get behind him. that doesn't work, either. i understand where geraldo points out he's not the conventional republican. maybe the traditional republican would love to vote for. that may be divisive. but also the push-back on the traditional republican saying i can't vote for him. >> what you said about turn-out, therein lies the key to this mystery. i think trump motivates and turns out people who may have never voted before. >> i want republicans to not have wishful thinking and be very clear-eyed about something. there's reports about the hispanic voter registration in the country. and it's astounding. in 2012, 11 million hispanics

voted. but 12 million more were eligible to vote. the democrats and republicans knowing that, hispanic voter registration is up like something 127% in key states. florida, colorado, arizona, nevada, california. if this race is going to be as close as we think it's going to be, that absolutely matters. we need to be very clear-eyed about this. >> that is why trump will moderate his position on immigration and that is why the one thing you did not hear in that foreign policy speech he made was the wall. >> the wall. >> the wall went down. >> he tore down his own wall. >> he said donald, tear down that wall you said you were going to build. >> what happened that caused that? that belief was, if you have a 77 to 85% negative rating with hispanics at the moment you have to figure out a way to make that up. you need about 40%. unless you bring up all these new people. how many people vote kimberly, based on the vice presidential

pick? >> 1%. this is a whole new ball game. all of the conventional wisdom is out the door. >> republicans break all your big plans. >> trump unveiled his foreign policy strategy yesterday. hear what generals, ambassadors, senators and others think about it next.

what's recommended for me. x1 makes it easy to find what you love. call or go online and switch to x1. only with xfinity. there's been a lot of buzz about donald trump's foreign policy speech yesterday where he laid out his vision to keep america safe. he won praise from some foreign policy experts. >> i thought it was a very strong and impressive speech. his analysis of the many failings of the obama administration's foreign policy was on target. >> i think that coherence of what he stated and what has been different for probably at least the last a years is in one word -- that's winning. we have to get america back on the track of winning.

>> others wrth as impressed. >> regardably, he gives a speech that's now written and that he reads off a teleprompter. that it is wandering and me andering and incoherent as when he speaks off the cuff. >> i don't see enough meat here on the bone and the speech he gave today is in various places ultimately contradictory. >> say it. so now you're talking -- >> i think -- it is a mixed bag. think you could -- you could look at this and see the good and the bad. what's good is the, okay the american first idea is not new. you should be, everybody thinks that way. however, the perception is that obama has put america last. so the distinction that he's make something very important and people understand it. we feel for the past eight years that obama has been worldly instead of american-ly.

there were a mountain of contradictions, he's isolationist and mad at obama because he didn't do anything about syria. the fact that he's unpredictable and makes foreign powers nervous is kind of refreshing. because we're always the good cop. maybe it's not such a bad idea to be the bad cop o to be the bad cop. >> you sound like you're coming around. >> i said that a long time ago. >> i said that before he ran. i said america should always be the crazy nation once in a while. >> for me thats with the biggest take-away. if you're a world leader and you watch that speem and you already had that impression of donald trump, already, you're like wow i'm not sure what we're going to get. president obama clearly said america is not exceptional, we just one of you. everyone is equal. >> the apology tour that started

and went through cairo, this is a nice refreshing change for me. >> i thought he was nervous and tentative. i say that he came up to me in the apprentice final finale and always receptive. he said were you nervous, when you were on stage during the finale? i turn it back on him. i thought reading the teleprompter. he was awkward, almost amateurish and it was nothing like the confident person who has rearly with pure christmas ma -- charisma and verve -- >> we've got to get used to that. it's a weird thing. i don't know what's up with it. you've got to practice with that. what about name? maybe some of the world leaders are worried about what their nickname may be, dana. >> putin complimented it. a compliment from putin is not something that i would necessarily accept.

here's what i think about this. nobody that goes into the oval office has enough foreign policy experience before they walk in on that day. not even condoleezza rice or hillary clinton, nobody does. the world is complicated, obviously. i think one of the reasons there were contradictions is because you have to make judgment calls and i think this, a speak like this doesn't necessarily have to be given on a teleprompter, except it's in washington, d.c. and you're in front of the foreign policy elites and they're going to nitpick everything you say. what you want to know is what is your core governing philosophy. i think what i would have added to the speech is we're going to act in america's interests to protect our own national security. it doesn't mean we're going to go after your treasure or your territory. because america has never done that but we will protect our national security. that would probably help him. especially with women. >> i when i thought about it, he's proved himself, i thought about the slot to be highly adaptable individual. especially being new to politics, to be able to kind of

maneuver and manage to come this far, to bring that many people in and now you see him giving a speech. like a potus would do with a teleprompter and talking about foreign policy. it's almost like out of a dream or something, geraldo. >> are you saying out of a dream? >> like it's not -- >> what is happening? >> it's like out of a movie. >> american military might to free those girls, to free the girls that were kidnapped by boko haram. >> where's your humanitarian heart. those are questions you can't decide until you get there. >> isn't he right about the fact that so many of these nations don't pay enough of their gdp into a native? >> i think most controversial thing that he said during that speech was he would turn syria over, let russia take care of syria. >> we kind of do by default.

>> where do you put that? you don't put that on a democrat or a republican. that's kind of -- i don't know where that is. libertarian. >> he's against globalism. which is ridiculous, it's 2016. >> if two macho guys get together -- >> with the world map and divide it up. you've got syria. >> it's almost like a mike myers movie. but i think they could do it. >> so much more to come. there's a new movie in the works, not a dream about former president ronald reagan and his family is not happy about it. hear why in the fastest seven with bolling ahead. i'm in vests and as a vested investor in vests, i invest with e*trade, where investors can investigate and invest in vests... or not in vests. this is my retirement. retiring retired tires. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire?

while overseas in the uk, president obama took credit for saving the world economy from a great depression, in an interview with "new york times" magazine he says he's not getting the credit he deserve force rescuing our economy.

he boasts about his legacy saying quote we probably managed this better than any large economy on earth in modern history. new numbers out today don't reflect that assessment. the economy has slow more than expected. growing at the weakest pace in the first quarter by only .5%. even former president bill clinton isn't backing up president obama's claims. >> the problem is, 80% of the american people are still living on what they were living on the day before the crash. and did half the american people after you adjust for inflation are living on what they were living on the last day i was president. 15 years ago. so that's what's the matter. >> i think, eric, this is one of the reasons thaw get the polls saying 70% of the country think the country is going in the wrong direction and 80% are worried about the economy. >> huge opportunity for either side, but most likely the gop side. the gop focus on the economy and make changes that inspire growth. the only thing you should care

about in the economy. when growth comes back to the economy, everything else trickles down into home owners' pockets. household incomes and savings are below where they were when president obama took over. wages are stagnant. flat to where they were when obama took over. the only thing he can say is better is the unemployment rate. if you talk all the people who have left the workforce, given up hope. if you bring them back into the economy, unemployment presses 10% again. so the numbers are really bad if you read them. but the headline number, unemployment and the stock market look good, so obama is trying to take credit for it so growth is anemic at best. >> i remember the day when the dow hit 6,000 something. i had half the money i had before the crash happened. goldman sachs was teetering on the edge of extinction. the world economy indeed, seemed about to fail. the too big to fail banks were

failing right and left. it seemed to me that president obama did save the economy. the think that -- any, i'd like to see more robust growth. but isn't it true, you tell me, isn't the second quarter supposed to be better than the first quarter? >> it's always revised downward three months later. that's been the history. >> ronald reagan coming out of the last recession the way president obama came out of this recession had 8% growth. we're lucky to get 1% growth. >> but part of that, could it be, greg, one of your favorite topics, president obama talks about this in his interview with andrew ross sorkin. he went to tour a factory while he was overseas. it was a buell factory. but he didn't meet that many people because in the factory the things doing the jobs were robots, not people. >> it's the robots that are

stealing our jobs, not the mexicans. we can have the robots build a wall around themselves. >> they're mexican robots. >> the economy is growing slower, slow. but with camouflaging this, is the innovation and the capitalism that's flooding our country with cheap goods, quality, affordable electronics, who people who aren't as well off as they were before, are living better than most anybody around the world. the poor in the united states have better living standards, because we have all this stuff and it's getting cheaper and cheaper. sooner or later, we have to address that problem. what do you do with a workforce that's no longer working? >> i problem is where you see the 99% saying why can't you help us? >> look to the white house and say why hasn't this president done more to improve the u.s. economy. instead of putting a pox on the house of the coal industry and

trying to stop oil and gas exploration. and fracking. instead of, the gains we've made have been due to the industry, despite the president's best efforts to thwart them. we should be and could be doing better than we're doing. that's one of the key factors in this campaign. that as dana pointed out, women care about, too. jobs and the economy. they got to start putting dollars in the pockets and meals on the table. >> the wealthy are doing well, the very poor are doing better and the middle class is getting it stuck right to them. >> what could he have done differently? >> the last thing president obama did for the economy was raise taxes in 2012. we didn't even get to obamacare. ahead, john boehner does not like ted cruz and he's not holding back. hear what the former speaker is saying about the republican candidate now and cruz's response, up next. i've just arrived in atlanta

you would be hard-pressed to find many people, people who like ted cruz in washington. john boehner, the former speaker, certainly does not. listen to how he described the texas senator last night. >> ted cruz? >> lucifer in the flesh. >> today the republican candidate responded. >> he said something like he's the worst s.o.b. i've ever worked with. something like that. >> lucifer in the flesh. >> there was that, too. but the interesting thing is, he said that i've ever worked with. i've never worked with john boehner. truth of the matter is i don't

know the man. i've met john boehner two or three times in my life. if i have said 50 words in my life to john boehner i would be surprised. >> so there you hear cruz claiming that he never worked with boehner, but the speaker said that he did. on the other hand, the speaker also had some nice things to say about cruz then. >> where did ted cruz fit in there? >> he would be on the conservative side, tea party side. ted cruz used to be my attorney a long time ago. >> is that right? >> a good guy. i don't always agree with him but he's a good guy. >> the cruz campaign maintains that although cruz was technically boehner's lawyer, in fact he did work for him back in the 1990s, the candidate cruz never actually spoke to boehner when he represented him. he only assisted with legal briefs and attended meetings with the speaker's staff. so kimberly, why do you think it is that ted cruz, i want to be fair, don't want to call him any

names. i don't want to be scolded by dana, why do you think he's so unpopular? >> i don't have a personal relationship with him. i can't speak to the pleasure of being in his company or not. but you know people work with you and you have an idea. a sense of things. we know people that we like, colleagues that we work with and we know people that we worked with that were like take a moment. i think that he's passionate. he doesn't stand down on issues. and he's not afraid to take a risk. and to take a position and to be the only one or the last one left standing as we've seen, literally. i think john boehner probably has an opinion based on experience working with him in capitol hill. he's entitled to his opinion, i thought it was pretty bold to kind of tell it like it is. but that's what boehner does. >> don't you like a loner? >> yes-day i like an outsider, i don't like one who says at one point, look at me i'm the outsider, and then takes the insider's endorsement saying

look, everyone likes me and when someone from the inside says i don't like him, he's luise lucie says i'm the outsider again. you can't run as the outsider and want the endorsement of the establishment. you can't do it and when someone from the endorsement says he's like lucifer, he's like i'm the outsider. >> trump got endorsed by christie. i wouldn't call him an outsider. >> dana, didn't cruz have a lot to do with boehner leaving the speakership, wasn't in fact cruz threatening to shut down the government again? >> no, i think john boehner made the decision on his own. the pope came to visit, john boehner got the invitation, he made a decision. john boehner is a patriot. i've always been a huge boehner fan. that could have been the ultimate kiss of death for a candidate, if john boehner,

ultimate in the establishment gave him an endorsement. i'll say this, when ted cruz says i haven't spoken 50 words to john boehner, maybe you should have. he was the house speaker. and ted cruz did put him in a box and he forced the stupid government shutdown. but you know look, boehner and mcconnell and those guys said okay, if you want to try this, knock yourselves out, it was disastrous for the republican party. it took them a long time to dig out of the hole and anybody who said it was a bad idea was crushed at the time and proven right later on. so cruz should have spent more time building the network. >> remember after boehner stepped down, cruz was vocal saying we got this done and taking credit for it. >> you mentioned the pope. the pope was there in the first place, it was an exorcism. >> i don't believe boehner was criticizing cruz by calling him,

lucifer in the flesh. lucifer is a rendering of hebrew word called shining one, light bearer. >> lucifer is a new show. >> it's a very entertaining show. late night had some fun with cruz's basketball bungle the other day, coming up next in the fastest seven. then your rates go through the roof. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. ...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma... so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece
