GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Speaking of Trump, Eric, this is what he tweeted regarding this, he tweeted, “Wow, Ted Cruz falsely suggested Marco Rubio mocked the Bible and was just forced to fire his Communications Director. More dirty tricks.” 

ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Yes, dirty tricks. So, Ted Cruz started the campaign as the values candidate, right? And then he came up with that really cool little thing, the bumper sticker, “trusted,” “trust Ted.”

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): Very good. 

BOLLING: It was very good. Except the problem was, everything he's done took away from that. Pointed people to the fact that he wasn't to be trusted. There were a lot of dirty tricks. Donald Trump says lies, I don't know if there were lies or not, I will tell you I had Rick Tyler on a show last week, I was interviewing him and I said, “when are you going to stop what is perceived to be these dirty tricks, this underhanded campaigning?” And he kind of laughed it off and arrogantly said, “yeah, yeah, right, whatever”. Moved on, but then in the aftermath of that, there's yet another one. So we've had this, now this fake Bible video that we're talking about, we've had the Ben Carson thing, where he said Ben Carson was leaving the race before the Iowa caucuses were done. We've had the photo shop and we had the fake -- they deny it, but there was nonetheless someone said Trey Gowdy had switched his allegiance from Ted Cruz to Marco Rubio. The Cruz camp denies they had anything to do with it, But there's a series, there's a pattern, there's an environment. It does come from the top down, it took them an awful long time for Ted Cruz to get rid of whoever was doing this. And hopefully that does put an end to the dirty trickery.
