rollers. the best band ever to appear on "american bandstand" was public image limited when johnny rotten refused to actually perform and dick clark stayed away from him. it was awkward. google it. it's fantastic. i had the luck of working with him later on a new year's eve where i was a guest to talk about how much i hated new year's eve. he was such a gentleman. i was such an obnoxious person. i might have had a few nips before i got there. >> bob: oh, no. >> greg: yes. he introduced me to hand warmers. sweet guy. we would hang out in the truck that night. no ego in that guy. >> bob: the thing that is amazing about "american bandstand" meyer ra, i used to watch it every weekend, too. how many bands he introduced and made. if you got to appear on that show, you could make it. >> dana: that was your ticket. >> bob: yeah. he was as big as, really in his time as "american idol" is now on fox. if you could make it there and you can get -- i remember

everybody rate the songs by the lyrics and the danceability or something. >> greg: the beat. did it have a good beat. >> bob: right. >> greg: that is where the line it had a good beat. if you can't dance to it or something like that. >> dana: he had a remarkable career. he was called america's oldest teenager, which i thought was -- >> bob: that is my title. >> dana: andrea, even for people that were younger than greg, like us, "american bandstand" was an important saturday viewing period. but do you remember it at all? >> andrea: i don't remember it very well, but i remember my mom talking about it all the time. i just heard he passed and i called my mom and she said i learned all my dance moves from him. i useed to practice the dance moves with the doorknob. i do remember, a favorite of mine, too, "$25,000 pyramid." i loved it when i was young and it replays on the game show network. dick clark is not somebody that if you weren't part of "american bandstand" you can't

relate to. he transcended generations. because of his new year's eve specials. >> bob: greg and i just said we watched "american bandstand" and you said i learned about it from my mother. >> andrea: what do you want me to do, bob? >> greg: i, too, learned about it from my mom. >> andrea: right. >> bob: what did you say in the green room? you saw dick clark when you were loaded? >> eric: i did. thank you. said in the green room, stays in green room, bob. usually by 12:00 i've had a few cocktails. >> bob: on saturday? >> eric: no. for the ball dropping on new year's eve. >> bob: i thought you meant for saturday. >> andrea: there would be nothing wrong with that. drinking before noon on a saturday either. we have don't judge at "the five." >> eric: can i point out, dick clark known for the new year's eve celebrations and other production. he had a massive production company. made for tv movies.

award shows. he owns various libraries in music. he sold the whole thing to a private equity group in 2007 for $175 million. >> bob: you're kidding? >> eric: massive. >> dana: a wonderful american success story. he started his career in show business before he got out of high school. his uncle and hit father ran a radio station in upstate new york, mount vernon, new york. he started as a disk jockey and went to syracuse university, got a business degree and the same time was a disk jockey as well. >> bob: did he own a piece of some of the groups, in other words, royalties off some of their records? >> greg: he was a really smart businessman. and i have evidence of that, because i met with him in, i think it was 2004 for a tv show. he thought it was a terrible idea. he was smart. it probably would have been a bad idea. >> eric: the partial rights, 150 songs. recording companies and artis

artists. >> bob: didn't motown come along when clark was at his height. did he play motown music? i can't remember. >> greg: he did. he introduced everybody to curtis blow, one of the first rappers. and the "brady bunch" band. remember that? silver platters. you people make me sick! did do your preparation. you know what is interesting about him? he is probably the first, one of the first human brands. like everybody knew, when you thought of dick clark, they had to invent the word "clean-cut." when you looked at him, he was brand of clean-cut. mothers, daughters, everybody was safety around him. that's why you sit with the kids in bandstand and -- >> dana: he was part of the era of entertainer where everybody loved him. not polarizing. >> greg: unlike you. you are a monster. he was, yeah. >> dana: some interesting facts, total of 7,500 hours of programming, 30 series and 250 specials. bob, he had another show that i wondered if you could have

starred in. called "tv bloopers and practical jokes. " >> bob: i could have. this week i could have done that. >> greg: right. >> bob: if he had 7,500 hours. you know, you are on ware to getting that -- way to getting that. >> eric: you know what i find interesting? this is off the beaten path here. someone passes away, and the networks have obituary packages already ready. >> greg: they have bob's ready. >> eric: i wasn't going to go there. >> andrea: do you ever see when they accidentally leak them, how freaky it must be. >> eric: abramoff accidentally ran -- bloomberg accidentally ran -- a friend of mine said they ran it in air or in print a steve jobs obit five years ago. >> dana: they knew dick clark being a famous american icon, they knew it was probably not going to be too much longer. in 2004, he had a stroke. you remember, he missed the new year's ball dropping one year.

regis filled in for him. remember how wonderful it was when he came back. he had to teach himself to speak again. he did that. it was a good moment. >> bob: i didn't think it was a good moment. i thought when he came out, dick clark that you remember in your mind, see a guy who was remarkable, he was able to come back after that. but it unit wasn't the same dick clark. >> andrea: it was important for him. if you watch the special, remember he came out and emotionally said how important it was for him to do this and how good it made him feel. i know maybe it made some people feel awkward, but for someone like him who gave us all the music greats -- >> dana: madonna is one of the people that was on "american bandstand." >> bob: she was? >> dana: she first goes on "american bandstand" and then release her new album. >> bob: she was on "american bandstand"? >> eric: rolling stones were >> dana: madonna, elvis, chubby checkers. >> eric: the doors. >> greg: brady bunch.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg: welcome back. on tuesday, in an interview with breitbart to connor, mitt romney called the media a vast left wing conspiracy. is that right, governor romne romney? >> i think you are absolutely right, that there would be an effort by the "vast left wing conspiracy" to work together to put out their message and attack me. many in the media are inclined to do the president's bidding. i feel, i know it's an uphill battle we fight with the media generally. >> greg: so is he correct? is there a vast left wing conspiracy? of course not. conspiracy is something you do in secret. that's hidden. no one knows about it. it's like the moon landing which we all know is a hoax or bill hemmer who is a hologram. left wing bias is in plain

view day in and day out. if it's a conspiracy it's the worst kept secret since bob's trip to taiwan last year. he said it was for medical treatment but we know better. the issue is not the conspiracy but the denial of bias in the press. no one really even takes it seriously anymore. i mean president obama's dog bo knows the media is left wing. which makes me wonder has anyone seen the little guy lately? starting to get worried. i have no idea what i was talking about there. >> bob: that is not unusual. but here is the problem. the rest of us don't either. could you ask a question? >> bob: yes, bob. >> greg: you are part of the conspiracy. on every board. is there a meeting and is there a secret knock? >> bob: a secret knock and secret handshake. you to know it. password to get in. he was supposed to do a playoff of hillary clinton in the vast right wing conspiracy that day. but the problem is mitty did not end the quote. he just kept going. the fact is there are so many

outlets for media information today. the idea there is a conspiracy to beat mitt romney. are there people that want to see him beaten? sure. outlets are enormous compared to the presidential candidate. i don't know what he is crying about. >> eric: he may be crying about the actual left wing conspiracy against mitt romney. think about this. go no further than the abc debate where mitt romney was on the stage and george stephanopoulos went after this issue of contraception again. and again and again. everyone is scratching their head what is the big deal about contraception? why is he going after mitt on this over and over. no one knew, until the debate ended, one month to the day after that, kathleen sebelius writes op-ed saying she thinks that under obamacare, catholic institutions, churches should provide contraceptives for employees. then the media storm hit. it looked like ran back. look at that. george stephanopoulos was carrying the water for the left wing.

>> greg: you have a whiteboard. >> eric: they forgot to mark it. >> greg: i am so out of here! >> dana: say something about the vast left wing conspiracy? it's not very vast. that is their problem. they do have the media part of this is an interesting thing. i was reading last night on a flight i took, on the real quick trip. and i was reading a women's magazine. fashion magazine type of thing. >> greg: "esquire." >> dana: read it, interesting nail polish color. this is interesting. how the republicans want to take away your contraception rights. it's about rush limbaugh calling sandra fluke, whatever, blah blah. but there was no balance in this thing at all. it's not that you just look at three networks or msnbc. it's pervasive, all the way through to magazines. across the board. >> greg: is it because that's just how they think? i guess at a certain point, should we just accept that the

media is, you know, a left wing mob and be done with it? just move on. >> andrea: well, it is a left wing mob. we can't be done with it. that's why it's good that there are more alternative outlets for people to go to get their news. thank god that there is conservative talk radio to balance out a lot of mainstream outlets. as you point out in your monologue, conspiracy is something done in secret. i don't think they're secret about it at all. you have a former presidential debate moderator gwen eiflle looking at the tweet she made. twitter exposed a lot of journalists for their bias. criticized sarah palin. jen vandehye running politico coming out a couple weeks ago saying ill worked in newsrooms across america. they almost all voted for presidents that were democratic. >> eric: and politico, take it from the top, the white house has weekly, according to media matters, weekly meetings, via phone conference with media matters. media matters admitted that

they write primetime for msnbc. msnbc puts politico editors on all day long on the prom. politico, msnbc, media matters in cahoots with the white house. >> bob: i'm on those calls. it's called talking head call. and whether media matters is thereon or not, a lot of people on there who appear on tv who happen to be democrats. now look, you talk about a conspiracy. the entire talk radio industry is dominated by right wing. there is no successful left wing radio. because, why? >> greg: no one wants to hear it. >> bob: i grant you that. but to suggest that somehow the left is so dominant, and in these newspapers, in these networks, look, most of the people went to college at columbia school of broadcasting and they happen to be liberal democrats. that's how it works. but there are a lot of outlets out there, when i ran into trouble this week, there are more blogs that jumped on me than i've ever seen. >> eric: you're on the conference calls?

>> bob: once in a while. >> eric: do you talk to into them? >> bob: we can ask question. >> eric: everything we talk about you with you for the preppation of the show -- >> bob: i rarely do it. once in a while i'm interested. >> andrea: i point it's not what they say or do, it's what they are not doingment so they're not researching. we know the least about president obama, than we have known about any other president. they were digging through sarah palin's dumpster and trying to take down a cbs george bush and smear him on his military records. they tend not to ask become obama where his energy plan is. they don't really do their job selectively when it comes to certain candidates. >> dana: what bob is saying sayg there are more outlets now for conservatives and andrea says on the cbs piece of "60 minutes" and dan rather and president bush's record. i think social media has actually, the conservatives caught up. clent for them. rob bouie who started out as a

distain bloggers working in his basement, he was the one who figured out the dan rather piece. and from there, conservatives showed even last night humor and an ability to talk to one another. >> bob: look how bad media jumpeded on obama about contraception issue. >> eric: can you get me on one of the conference calls? >> bob: no. >> greg: can you pretend i'm not on and i'll listen in? >> eric: conspiracy. b >> bob: no. >> greg: i have conference calls at anyplace. you can attend. no politics. coming up, did you catch o'reilly last night? things got testy when eric bolling showed up. >> listen, i would like to -- >> the market. >> free market here. i'm also a free marketeer. i believe in the free market. >> greg: if you leave now, i won't take you to spring

formal. stick around. i'm walt gale, i worked at the colorado springs mail processing plant for 22 years. we processed on a given day about a million pieces of mail. checks, newspapers, bills.

a lot of people get their medications only through the mail. small businesses depend on this processing plant. they want to shut down 3000 post offices, cut 100,000 jobs. they're gonna be putting people out of work everywhere. the american people depend on the postal service.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> eric: president obama surprise announcement yesterday regarding oil speculation sparked a firestorm of opinion, spinning on the various blogs, airwave and print media. i sat down with bill o'reilly to discuss whether or not president obama is on to something. >> i will tell you unequivocally, there are no inner-day margin requirements on speculative trading in the pits.

>> trading is a practice of the market. >> free marketeer, i am also a free marketeer. i believe in the free market. i'm simply saying there has to be some, a touch -- >> i don't like the speculation at all. >> maybe the number is 25, 50, maybe it's 100. it should be zero. >> eric: a lot of you surprised i agree with bill o'reilly an the leftist president of ours. it's not a bad thing. one thing in the special happens to be what president obama talked about yesterday. we can agree on one thing, can we not? >> bob: we can. i'm trying to catch up with your conversation, because i was writing something else. i think i understand the question. i think. how can you appear with that woman on the show? did she drive you nuts? >> andrea: bob! that wasn't nice. >> eric: she's very nice. >> bob: drives me nuts.

>> andrea: sandra, in defense of that, bob says it about me, too. >> bob: i do. >> greg: how many people leave a show with you and go who was that person? >> bob: 99% of them. i think the idea that -- y'all figure i got myself in trouble again. they pick up on what your suggestion was, a good one. i don't agree with her that a small part of the market. it's big part of the market that it sets the price. it doesn't matter how many millions of barrels. it matters on the price. >> greg: i'm shocked, eric. it didn't know you were a liberal. i finally figured out. i watch and i figured out what speculation is. speculation is like mascara and hot pants and a wig. it artificially raises excitement and that raises the price. i'm not that dumb. >> dana: i think we should spend a minute to explain what you were talking about, though.

you're not saying that there is criminal activity. >> eric: no. >> dana: that is a big difference. president obama alleged in the rose garden and they got caught, they're alleging criminal activity, multiple investigations over the years. there is none. you're saying there should be a fundamental change but you are not alleging criminal. >> eric: it's not that fundamental. the way the rules are currently anybody member of the exchange can walk on the exchange and trade barrels of oil, paper barrels. trade them without putting money on it. it separates the fiscal relationship between the wet barrel and the paper barrel. i'm simply saying make traders more accountable. not saying -- >> greg: like cracker barrel. >> eric: not saying they shouldn't allowed to trade but put up 50, 75% of the barrel to trade it. >> andrea: isn't anybody who buys a hus or anybody with a mutual fund speculator? isn't even investment a speculation? so the white house says is there my evidence of illegal activity? there is none. we need $52 million to find

some though we can't find any. that's what makes me very, very nervous about this. the way he mismanaged regulating the financial industry. i think you make a great point, but i agree with sandra. markets are forward-looking. let me finish. let me even. the quickest way to bring down the price of oil is bring more oil back here. mark is -- markets are forward looking and they make bets on what happens what will happen in the future. >> eric: they are making bets 50 to 75% of the oil the globe uses in the form of paper bets. we need to -- not saying it shouldn't be -- >> bob: that in itself is criminal. it may not be against the law, but it's criminal. you can set the price of oil, because a bunch of paper trading in the course of a day. by the way, he did not screw up the regulation of the financial institution. the republicans as usual watered down a bill to make what would have been a tough bill. they want everybody on the

market to go unregulated. >> can i point out, he released a five-part plan with regard to the speculation and one of the plans was to increase the penalties for illegal trading. another was to look to increase what he calls, i think he said put more cops on the beat. that addresses what we're saying and the other thing were the premium. we only talked about one thing on friday. certainly some accountability. >> dana: i'm not against that. but the "washington post" called it right on the politics saying it's a gimmick. tried by both parties every time. it doesn't get to the fundamental problem. what i think about today, getting ready for the segment. if you went downtown and you persona non-gratta they agree with you. >> eric: i was on the board of directors that trades all paper barrels in america or a good portion of them. there were times throughout my five years on the board where one company could have taken down not only the exchange

because of the size of the position, they were so leverageed they could have taken down the whole oil market, the whole oil american market. what do we do if one company goes belly up and the whole house of cards fell? >> andrea: if you were at n charge of this i'd be more at peace with this. government interfering in pricing of a products makes me nervous. we know president obama is doing it because he needs another villain. it's another villain about this. >> eric: here is the problem, why are we making this a partisan issue? it's not a partisan issue. we're guilty of it on the right. listen to talk radio hosts who say obama can't do this, he should don't this. there are certain things in this, in this -- >> andrea: makes me nervous. >> eric: -- that are okay to do on the right. it's not at all a bad idea. >> greg: just because a behavior is unhealthy does not make it illegal which is what bob tells the cops. >> dana: and we'll talk

about, too. >> eric: coming up, should a city be able to -- a city be able to discriminate against smokers and not hire them? we tell you about the surprising story down in texas. ♪ ♪ i went to a small high school. the teacher that comes to mind for me

then i thought about it more, mm-hmm, the more government gets involved in government sponsored healthcare the more they can tell you what to do about your personal decisions. how do you feel about this? >> greg: fort worth should be changed to fort worthless. smokers are american heroes. like people who arrive at a party with the best food and leave early. they pay in social security and then they die before everybody else does. with healthcare expenses go to people in their last five to seven years of life, smokers don't get there. we are paying into it -- >> bob: a good point. >> greg: we pop out. we pay for all of your stuff, all of your tests while we're already buried. by the way, these laws are based on emotion, not fact. the secondhand smoke studies are junk science. nobody cares because nobody wants to defend a smoker. >> eric: it's not junk science that the insurance companies give breaks to companies that are -- [ inaudible ] it's cheaper for for the worth to go smokeless.

>> andrea: the way to fix is it open up insurance over state lines. say this is insurance pool. bob before the show said i don't have one properly functioning body part. this is a direct quote. from the insurance pool at "the five," bob, you would drive our insurance premium through the roof. why couldn't dana and i get an insurance plan that was cheaper? >> bob: it took you a year for you guys to set up mine using things off the air on the air. now i'm in trouble. >> andrea: you really don't have one functioning body part? >> bob: let's not get into my body parts. when they finally got me, had a heart operation they said son, you a heart now of a 20-year-old and the rest of your body organs. i took personal responsibility for it. i am so tired of jumping all over us because we smoke. it's none of your business. >> andrea: liberals like discrimination sometimes. isn't this a form of

discrimination? this is discrimination they like? >> dana: for health, yeah, for health reasons. take this to the next logical step. then obesity, remember there was something not long ago that said if you were overweight you couldn't get a job at certain place because it would cost the company more in health benefits. the margaret oriented solutions for healthcare make the most sense. the other thing they say in this is one of the arguments against it is it will shrink the available pool of workers. i think sometimes if you think about personal responsibility and health you might think that a smoker knows that it could harm them may not make the best decision. >> greg: i have a test that i -- >> dana: you are going to hit me. >> greg: no. i have a test i give to people who are antismokers. if you're a female antismoker and ask her if she would kick george clooney out of bed because he smokes. >> dana: absolutely! >> greg: you wouldn't. >> dana: i would. >> eric: >> andrea: i wouldn't. >> eric: fort worth, is the
