eastern. don't forget to go greta wire and talk about tonight's show, thank you for being with us, we'll see you tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m. eastern. news, it. here is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> kimberly: hello, everyone. i'm kimberly guilfoyle, along with bob beckel, eric bolling, dana perino and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> kimberly: our top story tonight, whitney houston. while millions -- i'm certainly one of them -- has been celebrating whitney and her music since he is died on saturday is also worth remembering that whitney lived on the dangerous side of life for years. unfortunately, may not have gotten herself the help he is so desperately needed. bill o'reilly had straight talk about the situation this morning.
2:01 am
>> look, the whitney houston thing is cautionary tale for everybody. everybody knows that. we should respect the woman. i said a prayer when i heard she was dead. this is ridiculous. whitney houston killed herself. do we all understand that? you don't use hard drugs for decades, decades. you don't spend $100 million on them. not wanting to kill yourself. why aren't we telling the truth to young people in america. is there one public service announcement, like any movie star, by any singer, that says to children don't use drugs? wait, wait. is there one? i want to see one. there is nobody in the media saying you know what? this could lead to death and if it doesn't lead to death, 75% of all child abuse in neglect is done by substance abusers. are we getting this? where is it in the media?
2:02 am
who is saying this? nobody. >> kimberly: i think the spin stops there. bob, what do you make of the statement? >> bob: bill o'reilly is talking in a place he knows not where it comes from. i was a substance abuser for many decades. i did not want to kill myself. i was not proud of the fact i did. when i started it, most people do start using drugs because of peer pressure, because they like them. a lot of reasons. it gets out of hand. people died, it's tragic. i have seen it, lived with it. been with people who died in front of me. i don't think people who haven't been there shouldn't explain it to people. people who are drug users don't want to kill themselves. they are usually wusses who don't want to die. until they are deep down in the gutter. maybe that. in most cases they don't want to die. they get in this thing not for purposes of their own -- they make a choice to do it, that's
2:03 am
true. but it's not a death wish. the wrong message. >> greg: i have to say it's not a death wish. it's a fun wish. people start doing drugs because it offers an escape from depression, tedium of life. search for oblivion. i talk about this to my friends. when you are young, you go to an amusement park. it takes you out of your life. for an adult, often drugs are a place for amusement park. matter horn. valium is the teacups. >> kimberly: keep going. >> greg: stop right there. here is the point. you like the park more than real life. you don't want to lose the park. suddenly you're in disney land for two decades. >> bob: the ride breaks apart. >> greg: exactly. i only have so much emotion for this sort of thing so i'm careful with the degree and
2:04 am
proportion. i can't get worked up about someone who basically doesn't care about anybody else. an addict puts their drugs before their families and their friends. i mean, i guess, i -- >> kimberly: he is didn't care about her daughter or anybody her family? >> greg: he is put drugs before her family. hard for me to -- >> kimberly: is it a disease is that a conscious knowing choice? >> greg: i don't know -- >> kimberly: that's what i ask for. >> bob: you go ahead. >> eric: okay. also on the tail end of the interview with o'reilly, i don't think he was making a point about what was mad about what happened to houston, but he was trying to make the point we in the media put people on pedestals and when they die because of drug use or alcohol abuse or whatever it is, we glorify their lives. little kids look up to them. i ask him what do you do? he says this is the time right now in the wake of whitney houston's death to point out the evils of drug abuse.
2:05 am
>> kimberly: danger of it. >> bob: i want to be sure before talks before i open up. >> dana: let me make a point about the media. not everybody commenting about drug abuse could have been a drug abuser. i don't know what it's like to be addicted to drugs, so maybe i'm not able to say. but bill o'reilly has a strong point about the media. give an example why. in the last couple of years i realized i needed to understand what was going on more in popular culture, so i subscribe to a couple of magazines. they come every friday. and almost every week there is a story about like lindsay lohan or charlie sheen. i think the media ridiculed them. now they still get attention. but it's almost like they seek it. then that becomes its own addiction. >> kimberly: profiting off of it. >> dana: they are. i think most people look at charlie sheen and say i don't want to be like that. >> bob: but let me explain something.
2:06 am
where i think bill o'reilly is right here, the news media has glorified this a lot. i mean anybody who read the stories about whitney houston in the last seven to ten years knows it was a person in deep trouble. could he is have done something about it? they reach a point with addicts they cease to care. they are selfish and self-centered. but at some point they cannot deal with themselves. that is what people need to step in if they still have friends and family left. a lot don't. all they did was to continue to undermine her. not knowingly maybe but they did by putting her back in it >> kimberly: what about the sense of responsibility? matt lauer and bill talked about this today. does the media have responsibility? family members? >> eric: the point he's trying to make is he was saying the responsibility now is point out evils of drug, harmful nature of drug and alcohol abuse. i'll tell you what is ticking people off, we are making a big issue of this. talking about it now,
2:07 am
splashing the video of whitney houston on the screen right now. a lot of military families that lost loved ones in various conflicts around the world are going hey, where is all that attention to my loved ones who lost his life, risked his or her life, died in action so we could protect the freedoms? meanwhile, we spend way more disproportionately amount of time -- >> greg: we're a culture that is consumed by celebrities. we love our celebrities when they are up. we love it even more when they are down. we love the story. i have a problem when people get worked up and emotional about somebody they don't know. i almost envy that. that means they don't have much suffering in their own lives they can go and go this is a horrible death. if you know somebody personally in you life that has died or suffering something, how do you have time to offer that to star who doesn't especially -- >> kimberly: offered it to michael jackson, anna nicole smith, amy winehouse. >> greg: get worked up about
2:08 am
it. >> bob: it seems to me that the tillman episode got a lot of attention because he was a famous football player. what bill o'reilly said was right. this does lead to a lot of tragedy. leads to abuse. not just child abuse, abusing everybody around you. but at a certain point you cannot help yourself. you sit back and you say to yourself why am i doing this? why am i doing this? you say i'm going to quit, i'm going to quit. the next day the person you reach for -- >> dana: there is a lot of parents throughout who are dealing with somebody who has been addicted with a loved one. sometimes a child who is addicted to drugs. there is a point you try and try and try and do everything you possibly can. free will enters into it. >> bob: no question. they do too much work to bolster them up. enabling people. you need to let them hit the
2:09 am
rocks. that means you do not continue to such port them. as i said to a mother not too many weeks ago change the locks on the door. >> greg: you can't give them money. hard to tell parent you can't love your kid anymore. that's what you have to take them out -- >> kimberly: you sent the story about the real estate agent selling whitney's home because you have to show the proof of funds. glamourizing it. >> bob: i believe in capital punishment after i heard that story. >> greg: a lot of real estate agents have to deal with properties where tragedy takes play. at first they try to hide it. another says maybe it will help. when i sell my apartment, i make sure that nobody knows i live there. i take all of my wonder women memorabilia and store it. >> dana: how do you get the smell of the iguana out of the house? >> greg: that is a plus. they smell like butterflies.
2:10 am
>> kimberly: no, they don't. that is one of those things. by the way, what do you think? christie had the right thing on the flags at half mass? >> eric: i am not going there. i live in new jersey. if you want to fly the flag at half mass, i get it. people are outraged. military families outraged over the hoopla and outraged that christie would lower the flag for native, newark, new jersey. >> dana: you can -- [ overtalk ] >> kimberly: we're sliding out of this block. what kind of country do you think we live in? are americans generous or stingy? we will tell you what jimmy carter thinks coming up next. also, don't forget e-mail us at thefive@foxnews.com. stay with us. ♪ ♪
2:15 am
♪ ♪ >> greg: what are you talking about? >> eric: welcome back to "the five." liberal left have been hell-bent to turn america in nanny state. how did he get there? how did he do that? they are getting closer and closer to it. 46 million americans on food stamps, unemployment benefit measured in years, not weeks. from the occupiers to the union. they call success mark of affiliation. charles krauthammer summed it up in a way only he could. >> there is a population that is happy to live off the teeth of the giant state. there has always been center of the population that wants to be independent. >> eric: the problem arises -- the problem arises when those who don't pay taxes exceed those who do.
2:16 am
once the 50% line is crossed there is no going back because takers will vote for the politician who keep the gravy train rolling. robert -- >> greg: they bet me $10 i couldn't get you to laugh during that time. >> eric: what are you talk about? once you go past 50% why should the gravy train slow down? >> bob: they pay the payroll taxes. the question is 75% of the american people are on the government teat in one way or another, through the program or tax breaks. so it's a country that many of them benefited from the government. if you ask what they want to cut, nobody wants to cut their program. if you want to do away with foreign aid they say yes. >> that is a little bit in a
2:17 am
vacuum. some people are convinced we could go to a different tax system. a flat income tax or sales tax they might be willing to give up other deductions. but the problem is if you are afraid to put it on the table because you don't think washington will follow through and get the rest of it done. i am for wholesale tax reform. clear the decks and let's start over. >> eric: this is why it's class warfare. if you highlight taker, makers, have, have-nots, 99%, the 1%, that's the game they're playing. >> greg: the tea parties are the achievers and the occupiers are the relievers. you know the black lights people use when they are in hotel rooms and look at the hotel bedrooms to see if they are clean or not? occupy movement is a black light. it tends to expose all the class warfare warriors in the white house and media and expresidents like jimmy carter. >> eric: you know what? stay with this for one second.
2:18 am
occupy movement, occupy 90210 occupied in l.a., outside or near one of the obama fundraisers, they may be getting the message. >> greg: at least they are being consistent. if you look at jimmy carter, praised the occupy movement and called the u.s. extra stingy. he chose those who pooh over those who do. >> kimberly: my gosh. bathroom humor? >> dana: let me say a couple of things. i agree with jimmy carter on a couple of things. one, they have been able to get media attention on an issue that needed attention. true. but the problem with them is -- >> eric: what media attention on? >> dana: on their issue that they care a lot about, which is the inequality issue. the big banks. they feel like they got attention for it. it's not bad. let me finish. i don't want to argue on that point, we can if you want to after i make this other salient point. he also said that they are loosely organized and not able to actually get something
2:19 am
done. so those are things we can agree with. on the stingy part, i disagree. americans are extremely generous. not only with the taxpayers dollars, our foreign aid is 1% of the budget. less than 1% of the budget. people give a lot to their churches, through non-profit organizations and americans also unlike a lot of people around the world, they give a ton of their time. >> eric: foreign aid is a quarter of -- >> kimberly: let me make a comment about carter. sorry to say it. he really was the worst president we have ever had in this country. it took a full generation of americans and two administrations to undo the damage he did diplomatically and militarily. i'm not surprised what he said. >> bob: that is painful coming to me since i worked for him. that was a cheap shot. >> kimberly: bob, i'm sorry. carter making a point. >> eric: can we go to her point. who was worse, karetny or obama? >> bob: i could think, let me say, i would say --
2:20 am
>> eric: carter or obama? >> bob: nixon. >> dana: he is smart enough not to answer that silly question. >> bob: you're waiting your breath. can we talk about this? as the united states contribution turns the percentage of the foreign aid, there have been more contributions from individuals but also, developed countries, there are more developed countries picking up more aid. if you look at the amount of money in foreign aid that went out in 1980 from developed country, $26 billion, the united states did about 25%. today it's $128.5 billion from developed countries. more wealthy countries. they are picking up. >> dana: i think one of the problems i think some people have with what jimmy carter has set, former carter said about people, he has done a lot of good work. habitat for humanity. it's not as if other presidents don't have humanitarian, really good things they do. think about the tsunami aid that 41 and bill clinton did together, the things that bill clinton has done in haiti,
2:21 am
pretty impressive. he and bush 43 working together after the earthquake. things that president bush has done in africa and continues to. do it's a little bit of a c'mon, you're not the only former president. >> kimberly: no. >> bob: let's give carter his due here. i know it's funny, but the group his group eradicated saved 2 million lives. what george bush did in africa saved millions of lives. >> kimberly: talking about as president. >> bob: when he was president he had me. >> greg: socialist, fair share systems that carter admires are the countries that don't give anything because they can't afford to. greedy capitalism gives more in share than any other country. >> dana: they don't give that much. >> eric: obama or carter? >> dana: no. silly question. >> bob: give you a black eye!

swing states that will decide who is elected in the 2012, president obama leads mitt romney 47-39. he leads rick santorum 48-39. he leads ron paul 48-36. and the biggest one he has a lead over is newt gingrich. 52-32. i will say the numbers change dramatically in the last few months. polling being what they are, they can change in the economy gets worse. snapshot in time, most republicans were n expecting to see this at this stage of this race. is that a fair statement? >> eric: i don't -- why, things, the unemployment number comes down a little, the numbers go up on the obama side. they go down. the most important number is the price of gasoline. if you have $4 gas at the pump by september, october, all that -- those numbers -- >> bob: one thing we learned in politics is unemployment
2:28 am
number is not as important as disposal income. as a factor to be elected president. if gas prices are that high, disposable income as well. >> eric: can i throw one thing out there? for every penny higher in the national average in gasoline, billion of spending disposal income comes out of the american economy. if it goes up a dollar, it's $100 billion. >> bob: let me ask dana a question. the democrats are obviously going to brag about this. they have been snake bit. up and down and up and down. is this something that obama should take carefully? dabs take it with a grain of salt. they can rub the salt in wound in november if they win. recruiting on the republican side in battleground state have been good and numbers are on the republican side this time around. it depends what seat are up that year. good thing. but difficult thing for
2:29 am
republican party the primary process. takes a while. you are beating each other up. the superer pac are not going after obama. they go after each other. >> there has been so much infight something there isn't unification. people say there is but there isn't. >> bob: this primary is uglier than most. when obama and clinton were against each other at this stage of the game, obama was leading mccain by four points and mccain wrapped up the primary. so sometimes competition makes you a stronger figure. this is a new part of the equation that none of sus been
2:30 am
through before. we are probably not going to an it for a long time to come. don't you think? >> kimberly: i absolutely do. that is the thing. it's too soon to tell. like obama take caution on this. >> greg: the poll numbers reflect the media. media is the school girl and obama is beav bea justin bieber. >> bob: that is exactly the announcement we want on "the five." >> greg: you're being sarcastic. don't disrespect my political opinion. or i'm leaving or sulking. >> kimberly: or both. >> greg: i'm sit here and sulk now. >> bob: sulk. quickly, can there be a brokered convention. on republican side you need
2:31 am
1,044 or something like that, and romney is 109 there. chance for a brokered convention? >> eric: yes. absolutely. >> dana: higher than they used to be but i put it at 20 20%. >> eric: sean from the rnc says chances and alien landing on his front lawn but i disagree. >> greg: that happened to me. i think it was an alien. >> bob: yes or no? >> greg: about drinks later? i'm busy. 10%. >> kimberly: 22%. >> bob: 0.000%. did you know this is happening now? is this a good or bad thing? greg is going to break this down. don't miss this one, we respect greg here. ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ -- and my colleagues at "the five." ♪ ♪ >> greg: welcome back to "the five." charter school in cincinnati plans to pay students from poor homes to show up, behave and do their homework in the hopes that one day they will graduate. starting this week, dawn community high, that sounds so nice, dole out $25 a week to seniors and $10 to underclassman. the school relies on donations and already $40,000 has been raised. the principal ramon davenport explains. >> you ask students who haven't been here in three to four days come to walk today on time. we are hoping this incentive will get the kids off the street and in a school where they can be taught skill to be
2:38 am
productive in society. >> greg: at first i hated this idea. kids should only be paid for chores or light entertainment, like yodeling. i love yodeling. it speaks to a culture hard work is devoid from long-term goal, delayed gratification is officially dead. then i changed my mind. first, we're not paying for it. it's private. so stantly it's better than government programs that triple spending in decades to result in worst test scores. two, i pay to get kids to attend school if it will keep them off my block. yes, bribery, but one man's bribe is another man's untrampled azaleas. i love my azaleas. i named them kimberly. finally, admit that school isn't just about education. it's about keeping brats busy and out of trouble until they are old enough to work for me. you know, i didn't learn much in school. if i didn't go, i would have ended up with a dead end job, living in isolation, riddled with envy and shame.

2:40 am
but long-term. if they get through school and they get at least high school i quiv lensy or diploma, there is a chance they can find work. other than that, they have non. generally a cost to society in crime or government payments or something else. so, i'm not so sure a charitable investment getting kids to come to school is not a bad one, because otherwise, the cost of society will be enormous, i think. >> greg: dana you were paid not to go to school. >> dana: i wanted to go to school so much i'd get up at 4:00 in the morning and i'd be ready to go with my lunch. >> kimberly: i believe that. >> greg: why am i not surprised? >> dana: when ist first heard this i thought it was government money. oh, this has gone too far. i went to school because i wanted to learn. there was an eagerness to learn. there is a disconnect and it's been over time and we can have a discussion about that. that book from crown forum, charles murray put out about the decline of white america and talking about the 1% versus 99% there.

education is an honor and a privilege. i had the privilege of getting to travel around world. there are kids everywhere, they would do anything to be able to go to a school like we have in america. we don't do it here. usama bin laden, it was revealed, he told his kids hey, don't go in the family business. be better off if you go to america and get educate and make something of yourself. >> greg: well. >> dana: if you look at, if this was china, can you imagine them having the conversation? they probably watch this and go really? no wonder they're not going to be a super power anymore. >> kimberly: i want to say what about motivation then and incentive? you either have it in you and you appreciate what you have in this country, better than any other place in world and take advantage of it. it's frustrating now we have to pay kids to go to school. want to do something in your life. entitlement thing where everybody feels they should have the fancy house. this, that, work for it. like immigrants that came over here did. >> bob: they don't think
2:42 am
that way. a lot of kids are kids of single mothers, from poor areas who don't see america as the american dream. the fact some cases may see it exactly the opposite. so, you got to look at this thing. another country, yes, but other countries they don't have the rampant race of single parent, poor people where the lion's share of the kids come from. that is a distinction. >> eric: if you offer it that way, bob, eventually, you get used to it. you get used to subtleties. >> kimberly: you expect it. >> eric: the donors,' theory, model runs out, then what? then they turn to the government sand awe paid the kids to go to school, they expect it now. >> kimberly: it becomes a crutch. paying you to go to work. pay you to take a shower. pay you to make the bed.
