slamming president obama. we preview the big showdown in iowa. "the five" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> kimberly: another day and freefall in the stock market. the announcement that the fed will keep the interest rates low hasn't done anything to quell fears. dana you were press secretary in the 2008 financial meltdown. anything you think the white house can do now to stop the bleeding? >> dana: a couple of things. one is when you see a stock market fall like this, if some ways people think you can hold on and ride through it. the problem is for a lot of folks out there, their 401(k)s and pensions are tied up in this. so when you are at the white house, one thing you are thinking about is forget the bankers. okay? think about moms and dads in oklahoma, wyoming. pick your midwestern, you know, state. short of new plan or new policy, i don't know what they
11:02 pm
could actually do. they need to come out with something fresh. they don't have it right now. all day long i kept thinking since the slide on monday and then the rebound yesterday who would bob beckel blame today? i got an answer. i got an answer. earlier on, on cavuto's show i saw john stossel talk about the reason the stocks went down there is concerns about the french today. so blame the french. >> bob: you know what i'd tell everybody to do, don't look at the 401(k)s. i'm not. don't panic. sell. i'm kidding! the stock market was oversold as it was. i'm not suggesting this is not a result of a bad economy, but this has come down more than -- it really was inflated market getting up to 12,000.
11:03 pm
i think that frankly, the market needed to get draw back a little bit. i still hope it doesn't doesn't draw back more than this. i my kid's college fund here and i'm worried about it. >> dana: you're not alone. >> the reason it's easy market is easy credit. people getting credit that don't deserve it. the reason there is easy credit is because the federal reserve is giving cash away it's printing. to that extent, i agree with you, but it's inflated because the bureaucrats in the federal reserve devalued the value of our dollar. and given us artificial sense of prosperity. if you do have a 401(k), i agree. don't look at it. wait a couple of months. this is a marathon not a sprint. >> bob: what a great libertarian position. you've always hated the federal reserve, haven't you? >> it's not a matter of hating the federal reserve but believing in the ability in
11:04 pm
the free market, not bureaucrats to plan the economy. >> kimberly: an interesting quote from the director of the economic competitiveness out of the university of central florida. he said the fed statement today is akin to telling a child the boog give man is indeed in the closet. but you will live the light on through mid-2013. i'm not sure if i should be frightened or comforted by the federal open market committee statement. what do you think? >> i agree with the statement. i am terrified by the fact that ben bernanke is going to continue to print money, and funnel it through banks. at low interest rates. which will give people credit who don't deserve it and prosperity which will burst. it's empossible. >> bob: only 85% of the economy is used now. we could print all the money we need. but i got to go alone. it's ridiculous. i said from the beginning, go
11:05 pm
along with what dick cheney said. deficits don't matter. great. we haven't heard from him. [ laughter ] >> greg: i waited until you ran out of steam. >> bob beckel on dick cheney. new one. >> kimberly: i like that. what do you think obama should do? how does he fix it? the buck stops with him and the buck fell today. >> greg: obama should go immediately on tv and forcefully say very calmly but forcefully say 519. it could be worse. it could be 520. 530. be happy it's only 519. i think they could rally -- is it 5 to now? i thought it was 519. they could rally around that kind of leadership. here is the thing. i'm a guy like everybody else who doesn't understand what the fed does. generally when i think of the fed, i think of a guy in a hat a gun. i don't know what they do. when they explain the stock market they have to do it in simple ways.
11:06 pm
the "new york post" where let me show this to you. they describe it as crazy stocks. like a hooker's drawers, up, down. >> bob: i get it! [ laughter ] >> greg: somebody like me who doesn't understand the stock market or the economy, they're putting it out there in plain, simple language. it's like a roller coaster, but no, they compared it to a hooker. >> bob: millions of sus been educated now. now we relate. >> kimberly: that is a cliff note's version. >> greg: exact. it will all you need to know right here. but you're right, don't read any statements. i read none of them because i don't have any. >> bob: a serious thing that could be done. if you bring the congress back. the tea party congress. but if you bring the congress back and do two things that obama asked for. extent the payroll tax deduction for another year and secondly put together infrastructure bank which won't cost a lot of money. that makes sense.
11:07 pm
but the republicans won't do it. >> how about the republicans believing, lot don't but a lot do. the $2.4 trillion you let me borrow last week? i'm not going to borrow it. we'll live within our means. tighten our belts. you'll see the stock market soar overnight. >> bob: the free market did a good job for us in the great depression. wasn't it the free market that got us in mortgage-backed securities and the free market that said let it go out there and rage? i'm suggesting that the free market is stacked. that is why there is the biggest disparity between rich people and everybody else. you probably agree, greg. >> they were saying to give out cheap and lousy mortgages to people that can't afford them, because public policy that everybody should own a home and give mortgages to the government. we'll take care of it. >> you cannot blame big businesses or banks on fannie or freddie. >> sure you can. >> they had a gun to their head.
11:08 pm
they said if you didn't give the mortgages out, you were a bad person. you might be a racist. >> bob: greg, they were not the ones that fuddaled these things together and sold them as security. that was big banks. >> did you give advice in the carter administration? >> bob: i certainly did, judge. where is this going? >> the community reinvestment act of 1977 one of jimmy carter's proudest moment forced the banks to lend money to uncredit worthy -- people. >> judge, the guys, let me take the front page of this and say what i think of the bankers. >> kimberly: here we go. >> greg: say it! >> bob: the guy stacks these things and make security and sold them upstream. just the worst. they should be perp walked, all of them. >> dana: that is something they tried to address in congress at the dodd-frank bill that some think is causing problems. now, however, we can talk about the stock market all we want. what will matter in the 2012 election is not so much the stock market, jobs. in the "wall street journal" today, reporting that 4.5 unemployed people for every one job available. that is the president's
11:09 pm
biggest problem. not the stock market. >> kimberly: i want to ask you something because you're familiar with how it works and dealing with the crisis management at times like this, difficult choices must be made. what would be your advice right now to president obama, just through your years spent, you know, with bush and dealing with a similar meltdown crisis like this >> dana: they're different people. there were plenty of crisis, we dealt with a lot of them. as i said, you are dealt a hand. what president bush would say and we've got to play it. we have to do something. sometimes the best thing you can do is something. that would be what the markets are looking for. they don't want congress to come back. if congress comes back, what in the world would they possibly do? one thing today, press secretary jay carney said, of course president obama is going on vacation and the american people don't begrudge him spending time with his family. that could be true but it's undercut when the european leaders canceled vacation and came back. >> bob: you don't think the average american would like their payroll taxes cut? >> i'm for that. >> bob: that's what i said. bring congress back to do
11:10 pm
that. >> spending cuts. payroll tax. >> greg: they're good in tax cut in crisis. if it's good if crisis, good all the time. >> bob: never in favor of your taxes cut. we have to get out of here. >> kimberly: extend the bush tax cut, good thing. but coming up, police apt the government ramp up efforts to take back control of london. rioters still taking to the streets. we have the very latest next on "the five." also, don't forget send us an e-mail. we love to hear from you. thefive@foxnews.com. stay with us. ♪ ♪

11:16 pm
father of four who was also a crackco dane dealer who had a gun, illegal firearm, he did not fire it. this all started, it was like maybe it was kindling and someone threw a match on the fire. this is lawlessness. i'm kind of surprised that david cameron, he said this is new sound. didn't we do it yesterday? did the exact same thing. >> greg: this is not a stand. the will to prevent this isn't there. they are letting the city go. they think the longer they wait, it will die down. but the question to you, what if you are right? what if you are right that cutting expenditures leads to violence? what is the answer to that question? does it mean you never ever cut? that you hold society hostage by fear of hooliganism? what if you are correct? you might be right. how do you respond to that? >> bob: i'm always right. >> greg: how do you respond to that?
11:17 pm
>> bob: i will respond to that. let's let the judge talk. he's ready to jump in here. >> andrew: it's a great question. it means if the government doesn't give money away as blair and brown administration did for 13 years they were in power and when the money stops coming in, should we fear the riots and should the riots induce giving more money away? >> bob: no, i think you could cut money in defense and cut money. >> dana: what defense? they have no more defense. the entire royal navy could fit inside the stadium. >> bob: you're very excited. >> dana: i am. this one gets to me. >> bob: i agree these are hooligans doing this. when you were a prosecutor, you would have prosecuted them, too, but there are people in the country where the flame has gone over to them who suffered unfairly the cuts by this, by the -- >> greg: bob, it goes back to the question. if you believe that, how do you respond? >> bob: cut in other places. >> kimberly: bob, what -- >> greg: then those people will riot. that's the theory. >> kimberly: people have a theory and belief of

entitlement, they should have it handed to them. they cannot allow it to continue. they have to have a firm hand with this. otherwise you will see this practice continue. they're getting away with it. that's why -- >> andrew: i share gregy's anger. this is a culture of entitlement that has been perpetuated by the british government for decades. as margaret thatcher said, the problem with socialism, sooner or later you run out of other people's money. the government run out of other people's money. what are they supposed to do? >> greg: how close did we get to the line in wisconsin when you saw people pushing and shoving over that mess? are we just a couple of years away? >> dana: even the looters themselves are saying it's not about the cut. i think we should listen t to the sound byte that we have. >> what made you angry? >> i'm out of money. this is our pay back. the police aren't doing anything.
