Pathetic. I just amke stunned. We got 300 nigerian girls kidnapped by an alqaeda group and nobody cared to talk about it for a while. Hillary wouldnt call it a terror group of the all of a sudden, were on a big push to get them back and this is how the sad thing is that the lows information crowd thats puddling around out there on twitter is going to think weret doing something about it. It is just unbelievable. Bring back our girls. Theyre nigerian rush goes on to say, are we this powerless that thats all we got is a hash tag . Yeah. It is sad. Ss a its a hashtag, theyre holding up a sign. I understand their hearts are in the right place, but i would like to have seen some leadership in a real significann way. Results oriented. Doesnt everyone want that . Hat shouldnt it have mattered about the young nigerian boys who were murdered as well . I hope they come home. Thats whats forefront in my mind. Big boy, you are antiwar. Youve said you were an antiwar activist. Now, what do youyo do . Do you send American People i think its a little premature to say were not doing anything. Weve sent militaryin people ovg there. Wait a minute. You dont know everything thats going on. Something like this, there is a lot of stuff going on behind tho scenes. The public doesnt knowng aboutn my guess is there is a lot ofotg on over there and its a lot more than a hash tag. Ot im a little surprised that rush, which by the way, using rush is an unusual thing for the show. But he said, its nigerian girls. What does he mean by that . Im not sure and im not going to put words in rushs mouth. He means theyre not american girls. The question is, the hash tag is bring back our girls. Hes being specific to our. I see. I think thats a hashtag that started in nigeria. John mccain said we should mobilize our assets, he even suggested maybe using our drone capabilities. Your thoughts on that . If we have the intel and we e can make a strike where you cann take out the terrorists and protect the innocent life, then yes, of course. That is exactly what that kind e of technology should be usedt for. The hash tag thing i think if so nothing else is being done, thef i agree that it is ridiculous. However, there are ways to mobilize things. Sometimes it takes a little time. Onei was thinking about the campaign and global antipoverty efforts that started kind of like early 200120022003 and everybody wore those little brace lets. It wasnt because they thought the bracelet would do anything. But it was part of a solidaritys with a movement to move forward. If you think of the green and movement in iran, that was fueled by twitter. G one of the criticisms of president obama was they did not do enough to try to capitalize on the social media spreading of that message. So by itself, does a hash tag do anything . Absolutely not. Does it make you look cool if youre part of the bring back do our girls thing . Yes. What they should have done is why not, if you really want to not make it partisan, find somebody else from across the aisle or get a lot of the women, together from republicans and democrats and whoever else andt do it all together. Instead now its become a thing that is being mocked from the right to the left and viceversa, left to right. What about the celebs, hollywood elites now jumping on the band wagon . Is that band wagon activism . If it is, maybe we want that. I think theyre taking theirg cues from Michelle Obama, obviously. Kim kardashian, all of a sudden she starts tweeting about this. She doesnt know where nigeria is. Right. Does she even know where it is . Of course not. K it makes these celebrities feel good and connected and feel empathetic. But they dont know the difference between nigeria and angola. But if Michelle Obama had said what about the syrian girls, they would have done the same thing. Its selective outreach. Dont we risk american lives to save these Nigerian Women . Logistically, they have 300 girls captive. If you go in, theyre going toec start slaughtering them. I dont know if it makes a ton of sense. Theyre going t to get intel onw these guys and in a few weeks theyre going to send a drone in to zap these guys. In 2005, a point in our history that actually doesnt, a get as much attention as its deserves, in 2005, about 200 marines were sent to liberia and they liberated that country fror a dictator. 200 marines, i dont believe life ona any loss of our side. Or with intel and our capabilities and technology, can actually, if you decide its in your National Interest, you can do more. Cide the arab spring was literally directed by twitter. It was certainly organized. A quick followup through your statement, what do you think do you feel this isaple something that they can make a legitimate case to say it is in our National Interest . Nigeria . Yeah. I think so. I could be persuaded, but i actually would say thats true in syria as well because i thiny when you have 8,000 childrendr killed, some by kimal weapons, then yes, we should have done something there. I have to move on on benghazi. Democrats havent decidede. Whether they will participate in a new investigation into the deadly attack on our consulate. Nancy pelosi and her liberal colleagues dont seem to think americans deserve answers. This is a stunt. This is a political stunt. Either people have gotten tiredl of benghazi or never knew about it in the first place. So lets not be accomplices tozo this diversionary tactic. Well, democrats have been accusing republicans of trying s to fund off benghazi. Now hypocrisy exposed. Was when i was leading troops in 2006, men and women being shot at and blown up by alqaeda, where was the outrage . Where was the outrage that theye viciously attacked ouressl commanders . The outrage when they said that soldiers were warr criminals . What about it, bob . Some of those comments that were made were obvious leeway out of place. But lets keep in mind the difference between iraq and whats going on in t benghazi. There were 6500 americans killed in iraq and 32,000 injured badly. So i think its a little different when you talk about li trying to stop a war at that size and you talk about benghazi. I dont think its equivalent. The one thingbe i think its not just that they were fundraising off iraq. They were fundraising off school shootings, sandy hook. And then toso say youre not allowed to fund raise off benghazi is hypocritical. You raise money aftere 911, you raise money after afterkatrina. Its a little hypocritical fort the democrats to go to republicans. I think the republicans stuck to their guns. I think the left thought the media would echo this sentiment and they didnt. I think democrats said republicans shouldnt raise money on benghazi and they are. Im not sure he said that. Did. S, he put it this way. I dont think its consistent across all republicans. Some say they wont raise money off of benghazi and some say they will. And let me frame this properly. When they say raise money off of benghazi that, sounds terrible. What they mean is theyre going to run and say, im a republican. I wantto more answers into what happened at benghazi. So therefore, you should elect more people like me versus a democrat who doesnt even want answers. Thats how you frame it, right . Is that not okay to do . Because maybe there are americans who say i want to vote for a candidate who is interested in getting to theo is bottom of investigations and not saying its just politics andios actually wants to hold thecs Administration Accountable that promised transparency. Should republicans shy awayo from raising money in somethingc as important as benghazi . Im not mypo style. I like how you frame it, in terms of judgment and character. You should want more people likf me in washington compared to people who call getting to the bottom of something a stunt. I understand that. Now that there is a select committee and trey gowdy is in the chair position, because he is so credible and he is well respected on both sides, i think that everybody else, at least on the political side of things, follow his lead. If i were there, i would say trey gowdy and his spokesperson are the only two people that speak and if they ask questionsa no theatrics. Echi remember the watermelon and gun thing. That was a stunt and event that didnt help on the pr side. I dont think they need to. Ev one other thing, when democrats say that this is just a stunt, dont pay attention, that is a message aimed directly to the left and to the media, the other media to say dont bothero s covering this. I would like to propose something. I would help organize a debatede between someone like steve hayeo and pick anybody from the Mainstream Media that was supposed to be covering benghazi, one neutral moderator and let them see let the American People decide if this is a stunt or m a legitimatean thing. Do me a favor, one quick time around because we have another topic. Should the democrats show up . Ho yes or no . I would say yeah, they should look, there is going to be sevenn republicans kicking Hillary Clintons butt out there. If theyre not there to give heh a break during the hearing, then theyre going to get screwed. Agree. And also, they dont know what else is outgi there. That document that surprised everybody last week that was withheld by the administration, where there is one document, there is probably more. Absolutely not. There is only two questions left, who did the stand out and where did the document comethe from . Why wasnt there security at the embassy . E s should they show up . . Absolutely. You have to have all the facts s and, information otherwise howay can you say youre a credible candidate . This is a Campaign Rally forg republicans. Thats okay. From boko haram to benghazi to Beverly Hills where protests are growing wider over the sultan of we are nighs sharia law, celebrities and boycotting the Beverly Hills hotel and bellaire after he imposed the harsh islamic law in his the country. Jesse, take this one first. Its funny to me how the left is all of a sudden realizing srss hate theyre all of a sudden outraged that women are mistreated and speaking of this homosexual situation, there is a gay teenme pedophile ring going around in hollywood and theyre circling the wagons around these people. But all of a sudden, everyone is outraged. Are you going to stone a muslim who happens to be gay, then hollywood gets upset . Its crazy. Thats the american protest right there. Free market . I dont understand. I agree with jesse. Now thecr complaint is that that they dont want to go to this hotel anymore . There are plenty of places whee you can pay 22 for a martini. Theyre not lacking for opportunity in that regard. Bob, have you ever been to the Beverly Hills hotel . I did. But i dont know he was owned by him. I would find every sipple Economic Investment that was brunais got and boycott it. Any country that has sharia lawt and stop doing economic trade, including the saudis. We have just been allowed this sharia law, it is the most amazing human rights violator of anything thats ever been known on the face of the earth and yoh reward it by taking everything away from it. Its so difficult. The Global Economy is so intertwined. There is no way of pulling out everything they own. In no, but if you are made awar of it and you find out. There is plenty of great hotelsf there, like the four seasons. Theyre not into shahry in a law. W. Sharia law. Lets hope not. Next, some controversial comments today from pope francis regarding world poverty. You what he said, plus mitt romney breaks from some in his party on the minimum wage. Why he thinks it should bebe raised, when the five returns [ male announcer ] hands were made for playing. Legs, for crossing. Feet. Splashing. Better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. If youre trying to ma, now may be time to ask about xeljanz. Xeljz tofacitinib is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Seris, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low bod cell counts and higher liver tes and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tts before you start and while taking xeljanz, and roinely check certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b oc, or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. Taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. Ask if xeljanz is right for you. Pope francis is asking the world to do more to help lift people out of poverty and his words arerl making some headlin. Earlier he called ton governments around the globe to redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity. Hes urging the United Nations to help get rid of what he calls the economy of exclusion. This has been an issue for a while because i think its been a year that the pope has been y there at the vatican. He wrote a paper that got a lot of attention and also president obama is talking about income inequality. And this question has come up. Kg eric, we were talking before. I dont find the popes comment. That controversial because i feel like i can hear what he is trying to say in terms of the message of what i learned, what we all learned when you go to sunday school and youre taughta by your parents what jesus would have taught. But this is causing some controversy because the question i guess is how does the u. N. Get involved . Let men. Clarify. I love pope francis. I know you do. I love everything hes doing. This is controversial because hes asking governments tocaus redistribute wealth. When the church says to the government around the world, take money from your moreke m wealthy, give it to your poor, this is no surprise. Hes been about the poverty stricken his entire life. Hes championed that cause straight through. It just has become controversial. I dont think it will change his legacy. I think hes a wonderful pope and hes bringing christians together. It makes people talk about it. Kevina williamson, National Review and one of my favorite columnists, wrote a piece about this a while ago, but i thoughto of it today and i want to pull up one sentence. He says, tt o give away wealth presumes the existence of thatay wealth. Giving away alls that you own ta does not do the poor an iota of good if you dont have anything. You cantt spread the wealth without wealth. Wea capitalism is the precondition toal generosity. Th if you want to feed the lords sheep, you must begin by planting the fields. I think capitalism makes people more generous, at least through charitable giving, thats howt e the church actual israeli able to further a lot of its messagei americans have the highest generosity as any in the world. The pope has been in a lot of i countries where there is a verye small percentage of oligarts and everybody else is poor. Were not too far from that. Bringing it to the forefront, not just have liberals say it, it is time for, us to take peos in this country and not have a t minimum wage that keeps them ino poverty and hungry. D kimberly, if you look arounde the world, maybe what isrl needd is most capital i. Most of the poor living in places you dont have capitalism and its socialism and worse. Without capitalism, how can you have new Job Development . Thats what i dont understand. They want everything, but theygo t. Tht want to do what it takes its like hey, push that cart down the road. Im sorry, you made me take the wheels off. How am i going to get it there . M doesnt make sense to me. Before, im sure people will be excited on the left that the pope said this, bless them, but he also is definitely a champion against socialism in argentina. So there is a little bit of dichotomy there. But nevertheless, i think his heart is in the right place, but hes the pope and head of the church. Thats why hes not running the government. But does he have political influence. I think the left is using the pope here a little bit. He whenever he says anything abouts abortion, the left is either silent orft try to marginalize m as some sort of oldfashionedwes bigot. But this comment is on every left wing blog list. I think theyre distorting hisbu words a little bit. I think some of this is lost in translation. Hes not a socialist. Th hes not a,mrrxist marxist. I have deep respect for him. Pi he recognizes the poor are treated badly not only in the third world, but this this country as well. If the pope is going to go out there and say lets slash taxes, Climate Change is a hoax, lets deregulate the economy, all hell would break loose. He knows none of that is right. Lets bring up lets do one other topic. Former republican president ial candidate mitt romney was on morning show this morning was talking about minimum wage and for raising it. Ca listen. I, for instance, as you know, part companies with many in my party about the minimum wage of the frankly our party is all about more jobs and better pay. I think communicating that is t important to us. Okay. So showing on the right, big tent, lots of different philosophies. If they dont necessarily walken in lock step. t eric, would you think a talking at the state level,t th minimum wages have been raised. He didnt clarify, though. No. By the way, if you get a chance, of that one of the bestas o interviews ive seen mitt romney give. Couple years too late. O exactly. Had morning joe ande. Me asked today two years ago, he may have a different outcome in the election. However, this bothered me. Have this minimum wage thing bothers me a lot because he went back to raising the federal minimum wage instead of letting the states decide on their own, which i wh believe in states rights to figure out what their minimum wage should be. Personally, i dont think there should be one at all. T he went there, and im trying th figure out what was the purposeo of doing that. Hes not running for president. He said pointblank, im nott. Running for president. Its not going to help out to anyone that he endorses goingn down thedo road to say mitt romi thinks its a good idea to raise the minimum wage. I i didnt understand why he was going there. Is he trying to move the party in a direction he thinks he should go . I dont know of anybody in that tent on minimum wage who is a republican besides romney. I a
