GREG GUTFELD: Eric, what do you think?

ERIC BOLLING: I'm the only one at the table -- I like this with a caveat though. Okay, so you want to pay them, what do they say a thousand dollars a month --

GUTFELD: Roughly, if something, yeah.

BOLLING: If you don't murder someone, you continue to get a thousand. I say give it to them, but they have to sign, these people have to sign their appeals rights away. So if you get convicted of a homicide or a rape, that's it, you're done. Whatever the conviction is, it stands and you don't get to go through the appeals process which costs us billions upon billions of dollars a year.

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE: But why do they get to commit crimes? Why do they get to be a plague and scourge on society?

BOLLING: You're selling your appeals right for the thousand dollars a month. You know, it's a give and a take. And you could probably actually --

GUILFOYLE: Why don't you just convict them, put them away, then you don't have to pay them anything. Give them bologna sandwich.

BOLLING: Because that's not the law. They get a right to appeal.

JUAN WILLIAMS: And also it costs you to put them away, costs you like thirty thousand a year.

DANA PERINO: But like some cities have saved money on doing innovative things, like Salt Lake City pays the rent for homeless people that they - that are not willing to go into this shelter, but if they find that they can actually get them into a home, they can actually get a productive life. So they've actually felt like they've saved money with that program. Maybe this falls onto that theory.

GUILFOYLE: Let's pay people not to do drugs to or smoke cigarettes.

BOLLING: You know, you can be on death row I think on average of 18 years before they administer justice. Well, sign that away if you want this thousand bucks a month, sign it away.
