endorsed mitt for president. that has to hurt obama. what can you say when a man who helped defeat communism endorses your opponent? what can you say when a man who brought economic profession perty to people -- prosperity to people. if you're a palestinian authority you call him a racist. if you're ahmadinejad you agree with nancy pelosi that mitt meeting the jews was all about the cash. lex thinks mitt is it. palestinian authority and ahmadinejad don't. if you are a liberal, this split should make you question which side you should be on. when someone like lek endorses you for president that's like jeff gordon saying you are a great driver or eric bolling complimenting your tan. like dana perino calling you perky. if the eastern european father of free market believes in mitt that is big. you have to wonder which world leader will endorse obama now. oh, yeah, the p pico pineapple, hugo chavez. he thinks obama is a good guy. maybe he could speak at the convention. bob -- >> dana: can i interrupt? are you on a first bas name bass with world leaders and not nascar drivers? what is the problem. >> greg: i can't pronounce his last name. it's walesnka and it could be rulalenska. i don't know how to say his name. they use a letter not in our alphabet. >> bob: have you ever been to polish neighborhood in america? same problem. >> greg: is it? haven't been in polish neighborhood. but i love sausage. some say i love it too much. cokie roberts talking about the trip to poland was all courting the white polish voters. do you buy that? >> bob: sure. what is the great mystery here. you make plans going places. why did he go to poland? because walesa was going to endorse him. that is a good thing. because there are large enclave of polish ethnic voters in the northeast, particularly, that have been broken off from the democratic party. nice way to send a message. i don't think anything is wrong with that. obama went to germany because he gave a big speech. >> dana: i think there is a different strategy. if you have a chance i encourage everybody to read the whole speech. it's really good. one, there is a theme here. one, obviously the olympics. that makes sense since he was involved in the olympics here. recent speech talks about the kinship between america and england. america and israel. america and poland. poland was one of the first countries to help america in the fight in afghanistan and iraq. one of the first people to call president bush, polish leader. they have been solid across the board. i think there was more of a theme about freedom and democracy than there was about polish voters which probably going to vote for him anyway. >> eric: i think he's planning on winning. if mitt romney wins, what a great thing to have on your resume, that i shook hands with the israelis, i shook hands with the pols and brits. something obama never did. he went there and apologized for america. >> bob: he did not. what are you talking about? >> eric: we apologize for american exceptionalism -- >> bob: that is flat wrong. >> eric: defended you in the past. >> bob: where did you dream that up? in the polish neighborhood? >> eric: listen to the speech. i made it up off the top of my head. >> bob: i think you did. >> greg: if lek likes mitt and hugo likes obama that is telling. that should tell america what side are you on? >> andrea: it's very telling. lek ran the solidarity movement. >> bob: that's overly simplistic. >> andrea: it is a telling endorsement. eric is on to something. mitt romney looks extremely presidential. walking around, shaking hands with allies. not just for the political purposes, bob. but obama has been on unsure footing with with the poles because of the death catch gaffe recently, the missile defense, open mic moment with the russians. so now, going back to cokie roberts' point she was trying to insinuate that his move was racist. going after the began democrats. it must be racist if they are breaking for mitt romney and not obama, which is racist of her. to somehow try to look through everything in the prism of race. mitt romney was going over there to show we are friends. more of a friendship tour than an apology tour which is opposite of obama. >> greg: i don't think she talked about the african-americans for obama program for getting out the vote. >> bob: obama did not make mistakes when he was over there. he got out of poland without a mistake. that may say something. >> greg: let me bring up the quote. you talk about the gaffes. >> bob: the many gaffes. >> greg: carl cameron asked mitt romney about the media treatment, coverage on the gaffe. mitt responded thusly. >> and i realize that there will be some. in the fourth estate or whicheverrest tate who are more -- whichever estate to find something more interesting than economy, geopolitics, threat of war, reality of conflict in afghanistan today. nuclearization of iran. they will try to find anything else to divert from the fact that the last four years have been tough years for our country. >> eric: let me make a quick point. the gaffe, if there is is doing this now. we talk about it, the whole you didn't build that thing? the wave mitt romney was getting from that. then he went to europe and took the focus off the economy again. everyone is worried about what he said about the olympics or what he said about the culture in palestine. in my opinion, i would have stayed on it. say you didn't build that, talk about the economy. we have big numbers coming out on friday. unemployment numbers. >> bob: do you think he looked president traditional? >> eric: regardless -- >> bob: he is talking about the estates. i don't know about his own eestates. >> eric: we have 57 states. >> bob: do we have 57? he looked as presidential as a cub scout leader. c'mon. >> greg: he is not whining. he's asked a question about the media treatment. the democrats call it a gaffe but it's the truth. >> dana: if you didn't have the photograph of it, you were just reading his quote and reading a quote when president obama is asked about the media treatment, i would bet you couldn't tell the difference between the two. they actually say the same thing. obama called out fox news. talk about whining. >> bob: excuse me. the reason the media has done this, he made gaffes. they didn't make them up. >> dana: what is the gaffe? >> bob: he went to london and compared his work in salt lake city, town of 500,000 to a town of 7 million and said the security wasn't adequate. he knows -- >> greg: the english media said it wasn't adequate. >> bob: that is not the point. if you want to be a world leader you want to diss everybody. >> greg: if there are american athletes there, you're damn right. >> andrea: in political campaigns it's not wise to make your message criticizing -- >> dana: all he needed is the picture. president obama and mitt romney are doing too many interviews. they could do without those. especially now. in the dead heat of summer. everybody is watching the olympics. they will get back to the economy. you are right. he could haven't moved the olympics. the timing wasn't ideal. >> andrea: he is thinking they are not going to drop this. we get to this later, but they'll have elizabeth warren and others speak at the convention. they're not backing off we didn't build the comments. but he was gaining momentum and had obama on the ropes and left. democrats aren't going to stop using the talking point. >> bob: eric made a point about fundraising about obama. but the good thing from mitt's tour is $1 panth million or $2 million in london. in israel got another $1 million. did good with fundraising. >> the upside of staying on the economy and staying on the you didn't build that, maybe, you may want to get back to $1.5 million and get back to that. i'd sake the $1.5 million and go right back at it. you didn't build that. >> bob: you didn't build that road. >> greg: talk about this brief. romney talking about culture again. cameron brought it up talking about palestinian and israel. palestinian accused him of racism. the palestinian authority. here is the quote. >> i'm not speaking about it. did not speak about the palestinian culture. or the decisions made in their economy. that is an interesting topic that can perhaps deserve scholarly analysis. it didn't address that. i don't intend to address that in the campaign. instead, i will point out that the choice that society makes have a profound impact on the economy and the vitality of that society. >> bob: that is a profound lie. he sat in that israeli fundraiser and he said in israel, your income is medium income is set and across the way here, in gaza, it's something else. of course, he doesn't make out the point that gaza is surrounded and cannot by israeli -- >> greg: surrounded. it's divided. who divided it? >> bob: in west bank where they have been under the palestinian authority, they have done very well with the economy. >> greg: after arafat died, maybe. by the way, arafat didn't decide to build the palestinian state or whatever you want to call it. he wanted to destroy israel. he took all of that money. all of that aid. what did he do with it? >> andrea: i'm disappointed with mitt romney for backing off the comments. he hit the nail on the head. >> bob: culturally up to it? >> andrea: that is not what he said. >> eric: he said the culture in israel provides for business success. >> andrea: let me finish. he has a point here. israelis have and as dana old colleague points out when he was quoted in freakonomics they have the highest density of tech startup in israel. they're entrepreneurial. they take risks and hard workers. it's the reason that the culture flourish. palestinians on the other hand teach hate, they teach the kids to hate. maybe if they didn't teach the kids to hate he would have had more economic prosperity. >> greg: the palestinians took them down the wrong path. >> bob: the palestinians have been successful in this country in business. >> greg: where? >> bob: in the united states of america. >> greg: much better than where they're from. >> bob: that has nothing to do with their culture. >> eric: so has the israelis. >> bob: the culture -- >> greg: talking about the culture under arafat in -- >> bob: that is not what he said. >> greg: going after israel and not building up the own cities. >> bob: do a romney apologist tour. >> andrea: he should not have backed off. >> greg: before president obama told us we didn't build that, she did. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. nobody. well-known native american elizabeth warren landed a big spot at the dnc convention. what does it say about the convention? what does it say about america? what does it say about geese? probably nothing. there is nothing at all in the story about geese. sorry i brought it up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> dana: welcome back to "the five." i don't know what the movi music was. >> greg: i cried. >> dana: we talked about the democratic national convention is coming up and we talked about how bill clinton would get a prime time speaking slot? right before that, elizabeth warren is going to be the speaker. who is elizabeth warren? she is currently running for senate? massachusetts against scott brown. but she was also tapped to head up the banking reform rules by president obama and came under a lot of criticism. though she is popular in some circles. i do think, bob, in some ways this shows that the democrats are not as worried about the center as we might have said the other day, because she sends a very strong pro-left economic signal. >> bob: well, you can argue that. but i think that what the democrats are not backing off of is this make believe comment about you didn'te didn'd that. taking heat and it's hurting us, which is why that obama is responding it to. elizabeth warren said if you got rich you didn't get there on your own is exactly right. >> greg: that is what obama ripped off. >> dana: her quote considered the intellectual father of obama speech that became -- let's take a listen to it now. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. nobody. you build a factory out there, good for you. but i want to be clear. you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. you hired workers that rest of us paid to educate. you were safe in your factory, because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. you didn't have to worry that they would come an seize everything at your factory an hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did. you built a factory and it turned in to something terrific or a great idea, god bless. keep a big hunk of it. >> dana: how do you think it goes over around america? >> eric: honestly, first of all, you built your business on roads that we built, but you built your roads with money we gave you and we paid you with so stop with that garbage. bob, what a mistake putting this one up at the dnc because it's going to remind everybody about you didn't build that. this is the biggest gift for romney i heard of. >> bob: you have been saying that from the beginning. this is the biggest sham ever perpetrated. by the time it gets to the convention it will be undermined. >> eric: you just said it was hurting us. >> bob: in the beginning, that's right. so we won't lay down and let it go rolled oaf because republicans started to lie. >> andrea: i'm so happy to have a headline. >> bob: that is much more in the field of the middle class. >> eric: that is an appeal? >> bob: sure. >> eric: you don't deserve your success. blame it on the roads. >> bob: she didn't say that. there you go again. >> dana: let me ask andrea something. >> eric: that's what she said. the roads and the teachers. some teacher along the way on the road. >> dana: andrea, if you could react to this. in some way the problem they have on the left is it seems like they are highlighting the support network and not highlighting individual risk-taking and harwork. maybe that season what they meant. but it is what they said. >> andrea: that's why this announcement that she will give a speech made my day. i hope she gives the same speech she gave in the living room in her yoga clothes. but she could also help garner the american indian vote. we know she is 197th -- >> dana: that is what is bizarre about that. >> andrea: american indian. >> dana: when you first got to know elizabeth warren it was because of something else last may. >> greg: because she is a liar. this woman claims she had native american heritage, if we went by her standards so would all of us. i hope she does draw from the heritage when she is up there. it will take one second. she has none. the bigger problem is they re scruted a dishonest person. >> andrea: can i point out scott brown used that sound bite in an ad. >> dana: we have it. want to take a look at it and i'll let you react to it. >> understands that jobs must come from growth in a vibrant and vital system of free enterprise. >> faith in america. through our system of democracy and free enterprise, the united states has achieved remarkable, unbelievable progress. >> if you have been successful, you didn't get there on your own. >> i promise you this. i i'll never demonize you as the business owners for the work you do or the opportunities you create. >> dana: shazam. >> andrea: to have clinton and carter singing off the same song sheet. to your point they are doing something different by highlighting the network as you point out. not the worker. that is different than the democrats that came before them which is why i think this is so damning. >> bob: how in the world do you reach that conclusion? >> dana: did you read it? did you read what obama said? >> bob: i did. it's not what the republicans said. once again we put something on the air that is a flat-out lie. >> eric: it's an ad. >> dana: how is it lying? >> bob: it's not what he said in context. >> dana: yes, it is. it's worse than -- >> bob: before that he said roads and bridges -- you are going to -- wait, you think they test these things? >> andrea: that was my question. >> bob: you think they're so dumb they don't test these things? >> andrea: i was going to ask you that. in a state like massachusetts that is so liberal, don't you think scott brown to run an ad like that must have polling to show you didn't build it comment is really toxic even in massachusetts? >> bob: i happen to know for a fact they have run this sham that eric talks about over and over in focus groups and that message that she gave. bill clinton will give the same message. when you say you didn't build it on your own -- >> dana: bill clinton is going to say something as president that he didn't as president? >> bob: nothing he said as president. you can celebrate the vitality of the american worker. you have don't have to be laudatory about the guy that built the factory because he didn't do it by himself. he didn't. flat out didn't. >> eric: good news. 98 more days of you didn't do that. >> bob: that's right. we have to live through all of that. i'll tell you this. i will give up all the 1%ers to take the other 99%. >> dana: i can mention one last thing before we go? i think it's great. julian castro, the mayor of san antonio, going to give the primetime speech in 2012 for the dnc. there is a picture of him there. that is the same slot if you remember that president obama had when he was senator in 2004, which really launched him in to the national leadership. >> eric: that was a good speech. >> dana: absolutely. coming up, rush limbaugh thinks attacks on chick-fil-a are meant to be an assault on christianity. you'll hear from rush when we come back. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] when he was only 4 years old, jonathan horton climbed all the way to the ceiling... in the middle of a department store. some parents might have scolded him. ♪ jonathan's parents gave him... gymnastics lessons. ♪ it's amazing how far you can go with a little help along the way. ♪ td ameritrade. proud sponsor of the 2012 u.s. olympic team. >> eric: by now you probably heard of the dustup about chick-fil-a. there is a chick-fil-a participation day tomorrow. liberal mayors like rahm emanuel calling for banned boycotts and busting dreams. but some say it's not about gay rights. it's about the first amendment and about free speech. and freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. here is rush's take. >> let me talk about the business with chick-fil-a and chicago. and boston. we have two mayors who are essentially stallennist. this is a direct assault. that is a direct assault on christianity. it's a direct assault on christians. with economic punishment thrown in, including threats from government officials that are in clear violation of the constitution. >> eric: that is important. "clear violation of the constitution" matters. hold on, bob. >> andrea: it does. you have to be consistent. either you're for freedom of speech or you're not. if you don't like chick-fil-aor view of the ceo or the hats or the sandwiches, don't go there. but a government official trying to control the speech of us businesses is totally different than a ceo of a private business voicing concerns. liberal groups do it all the time. ben and jerry get involved in political causes. but conservatives usually say it's a first amendment right. we won't boycott and protest. >> dana: who doesn't love chunky monkey. >> greg: i don't. >> dana: i don't either but the only one i could think of. what rush said, you can listen to that and say i agree with that. but i do think that mayors believe they were trying to be inclusive. it was just read differently by different people. how i read the "new york times" editorial today they were agreeing that the boycott against chick-fil-a was going a step too far, it was a breach of the first amendment rights. >> eric: i'll
