>> yeah. if you are hearing this, and you don't get fbn. >> ho, ho, ho. demand it. >> this goes way beyond new hampshire. captioned by closed captioning services, inc >> dana: hello, everyone. it's 5:00 on the east coast and this is "the five." i'm danson with andrea tantaros, eric bolling, bob beckel, greg gutfeld. we have news to get to tonight. first, obamacare chaos. the president and republicans bumping heads over a major healthcare provision in his reform bill. plus, after five years in captivity, an israeli soldier is history. there was a prisoner release. what the president says now about negotiating with terrorists.

susan sarandon calls someone a nazi. we'll have that and much more. "the five" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> dana: to the top story, it seems is there is some divide in the issue about healthcare provision that president obama put in healthcare reform. let me set it up for you. last friday, the administration said it would be pulling the plug on what is called the class act. this part of the bill was to offer affordable long-term care to elderly and disabled. but now, the president himself is saying he cannot support it. he is withdrawing the program, but while republicans on capitol hill want to take it out, the white house says no, let's not repeal it. the democrats, this used to be their big liberal darling. they loved it. we have sound from 2009. which they were talking about

how it was fully paid for. >> certain colleagues on the other side of the aisle argued the class plan would lead to financially unstable entitlement program and rapidly decrease the federal deficit. that is not accurate. >> the cbo has scored this. this is completely paid for over 75 years. over 75 years. >> cbo said our future, decades and decades in the future paid for. i didn't use a penny of that money. >> dana: oops. because now they admitted they can't do it. in fact, secretary sebelius said that despite the best analytical effort, "i do not see a viable path forward for class implementation." greg, what is happened here, they have run in mathematical law they can't divide. >> greg: math does not do hope and change.

math gives you something to you straight. i feel something coming on. it might be a torturee tortureed metaphor. this is government equivalent of 10-year-old girl not getting a pony for christmas. she was promised this. it was great to dream about. but at the end of the day they realize they can't afford it, it won't fit in the backyard. kathleen sebelius is the 10-year-old. reality is the parent. >> dana: one of the things that happened was that when they said it was paid for, this was, it gave comfort to lot of conservative democrats on the fence about obamacare anyway but they were told this would be a way to reduce the deficit in the long run. a lot of people including the cms acms actuary, person running medicaid services said it wasn't sustainable, but they rammed it through anyway. now you have this, supreme court about to look at it. andrea, some said this is the beginning of the end of obamacare. >> andrea: it is. it wasn't one provision to reduce the cost, dana. class act accounted for

according to the administration almost half of official deficit reduction for obamacare. this is a big deal. with greg's tortureed metaphor this is what is confusing. obama promising to give kathleen sebelius the pony. even though they haven't figured out how to pay for it. your point, absolutely. we don't know what the supreme court is going to do in a couple of weeks we'll know what parts they will take up. look at the mandate. what else do they look at. everything they have told us about obamacare is false. you can keep your doctor, if you want. not true. it bends down the cost curve. not true. we saw the premiums rise. now, again, it will bring down the deficit. no. that is not true. it will bankrupt long-term care. >> juan, the idea of long-term individual is not bad one. you can choose as you are an individual, consumer if you want to buy into it. the problem is the way it was set up, healthy people weren't

going to spend money out of the own pocket to do this. $70 billion evaporates like that. they have a problem. >> juan: they don't have a problem. they are looking for solution. to get back to my friend's fortureed metaphor, ronald reagan used to tell a joke i just loved, which was about a kid seeing a pile of manure and saying good news, there must be a pony in here somewhere. in fact, this is a pile of manure, because sebelius and the administration say we don't know how to pay for this. we are having a problem with the numbers. cbo says it's neutral. looking for a way to fund it. liberal advocacy groups are upset with the white house. they think the white house pulled the rug out from under them. they were supporters, like you saw in the clip, senators and

advocacy groups, aarp for seniors said this is a good thing and why we want obama healthcare proposal. let me just say, the american people are not with republicans when they say repeal it. republicans again are overreaching. going crazy. american people like this stuff. >> andrea: but the administration gave us a pony unpaid for covered in manure. are you happy with that? >> juan: cbo thought they had a way to do it but they don't. >> andrea: government shouldn't get in the business. >> juan: right, leave it to insurance company so they rip you off. >> dana: getter rick in here. when the actuary says it's not workable and then they find out nine months later it's unworkable. whose fault is it? republicans who said initially it wasn't workable or who was sold a bill of goods? >> eric: again, we go to this all the time. nancy pelosi saying pass the bill and we'll find out what is in it. ha, ha. but that was true. we find out there is a bunch of manure in it. $80 billion worth of it in this one.

it happens to be 40% of what the savings were supposed to do. when you buy a car there is a lemon law. three things go wrong with it. obamacare is a lemon. it doesn't bend the cost. $86 billion cost we didn't know would be in there. they front-loaded so it didn't look like it was in there then you have whether or not the individual mandate is constitutional. >> dana: lemon law is a good metaphor. >> greg, no, no, no. it's not a lemon. it's a pony. i'll tell you why. juan is right. if you promise america a pony, hard to unpromise that pony. republicans are in a bind now, because they've got to come up with their a terntive to a pony. that the public says okay, i get it. now they are getting to the point they are accepting healthcare. >> juan: how about this -- >> andrea: the pony is too expensive. we have can't afford a pony.

>> juan: let me say, everybody is for this pony. people like the idea that insurance companies can't throw you out because of previous conditions. they like the idea that the kids can stay on until they're 26. >> andrea: but there is no cost efficient way to do this. >> juan: they like a third of the american people who don't have coverage can get it. >> dana: that is not what we're talking about, juan. what we're talking about in particular is a provision in the bill that might have sounded good to some but was not sustainable. they, the chief actuary told them, this will not work. they used it anyway to cover for deficit reduction, which is not going to exist. house budget committee chairman paul ryan said this. to hide the true cost of the healthcare overall, the leaders of the democratic party loaded it with gimmicks and double accounting. even democratic senator called at it ponzi scheme bernie madoff would have been proud of. i think then to take the pony one step further, you can get a pony. when you're a kid, can i have a puppy, can i have a pony or

something? the kid takes care of it for a week and then guess whose pony it becomes? the parent's pony. >> juan: dana, euell you're saying is it isn't working. that's what the white house is saying. they don't have the money. >> dana: no, no, no. they are not saying -- >> juan: you not getting any idea -- >> andrea: they're backing off of this, juan. he is on the other side of the issue. wait a minute. his own secretary came out on friday and said we cannot pay for it. >> juan: correct. >> andrea: obama press secretary one of them said i don't care. >> juan: no, they said we don't want to repeal it. >> andrea: why not? >> juan: they're trying to find a solution to make it work, as opposed to republicans who don't want anything to work and use it for a political advantage to beat up -- >> andrea: they will go bankrupt. >> eric: you are having the discussion after the bill game law? a lot of us pointed this out before the vote, before the

bill was law. now we're saying we'll find out there is a lot more. guess what? $86 billion pile of poop. i guarantee there are two or three more down the road. >> juan: all you do is hammer and complain and criticize. what do you hear from republicans? >> dana: we are off to a great start! we discussed romney, perry and the economic plan on "the five." now ron paul has one of his own.

on herman cain to see does he have the policy chop, or a flash in the pan. >> greg: debates are great for people like cain who don't have any money. it's their way of becoming more and more popular. but the real question is what do you call those things? do you call them podiums or lecterns? >> juan: lectern. podium is the foot. >> greg: podium is the platform that the lectern is on. lectern is not a pulpit. i'm tired of answering that question. >> andrea: eric, i want to ask you there is feedback on the receiving the debate. and we go back and forth saying why is my guy on the end, rick santorum. cnn is saying let's look at the polls and place them strategically on the stage based on how well they are doing. romney gets center stage, perry on the left, cain on the right, ron paul on the other side of cain followed by rick santorum and on and and on. no offense, producers, but

trying to get really good ratings. >> eric: it's becoming a show. look, you can take it with polling or money raised and you can almost get the same set up. santorum, bachmann, who is the other guy? ron paul. got it. what a great, great -- 100% right. great way to bring yourself out. i don't agree with you. i don't think it matters who wins the debate, regarding how much money they've raised. gingrich you can argue has won all the debates. >> andrea: what are you watching for tonight? >> dana: this is the fifty debate in six weeks. in some ways, it will be seeing snare rowing down. cain has policy depth but needs polish. people say i like him, i like what he has to say. do i think he could represent

america well in the oval office? that is a question. polish does make a little bit of a difference. the other thing i'm going to watch for, i think perry might have a strong debate tonight. he needs to have a really strong one. >> juan: what makes them break out, that is the question? how can he break out? he was supposed to have a strong debate last time. he came out flat. >> eric: he breaks out with $15 million in the war chest. >> juan: he has that. but you know what that is for? that means he can last and wait for romney to stumble or somebody else to fall back hopefully. from his perspective, herman cain goes down and get some of that back. but he is waiting. you know what is interesting to me, i saw numbers the other day that said a quarter of the american people have seen any of these debates. i mean, like people wait -- and no democrats are watching apparently. it's a republican audience. >> dana: democrats in white house are because they come out and attack -- >> juan: but basically -- >> greg: like the n.b.a. nobody watches until the playoffs. gawps i'm a big --

lot of l.a. all the other states in the country seem to get ignored there are specific issues regarding property rights and taxes that are specific to the western states. hold on -- >> juan: people in iowa -- >> andrea: wait, we have to get to this. an issue herman cain needs to talk about tonight, we can agree on, the most populist message of all. take a look. >> ♪ imagine there's no people ♪ ♪ i couldn't if i tried ♪ ♪ but to me ♪ it's so much more >> andrea: now that is a position even those wall street protesters and drunk young kids late at night and bob beckel, a democrat can get behind. >> greg: i'm on a no-carb diet. >> eric: pizza? >> andrea: you still like it.

>> andrea: i don't think it's a good idea. you are right, they have done it in the past so the precedent is always there. if you are hamas and you know there is more prisoners that need to be released you say okay, i'm going to go out and kidnap more israelis so i can do this hostage bartering type situation in the end -- it might be good right now short-term to get this soldier back. the whole country, mandatory to join the army and israel. a lot of parents are concerned. what if it's my boy? but in the end, i don't think it's good move. hamas is a terrorist organization and israel said we are not going to negotiate with those who have blood on their hands. these prisoners were responsible for killing israelis and a lot of them go back to killing israelis once they are released. not a good plan. >> greg: i'm torn. you know, this is a human being, soldier, you and you want to do everything you can to get him back. and, you know, just shows that the israelis bend over backwards to do what they can for their people. but it does remind me of october 1989, when the dallas

cowboys traded hershell walker for what was it? eight draft pick and five players. lop-sided trade. >> juan: didn't work out. >> andrea: did any of them return to terror? >> greg: no. [ laughter ] >> dana: 60% of the prisoners -- this is not unusual, but across the world when it comes to war on terror in this case 60% return to the battlefield and recaptured again. whereas i think it's, where we can look at this and say gosh, they should haven't negotiated, 80% of the israeli people approve of this deal. gilad shalit has been through hell. in 2006, that war was fought largely over him. and his capture. so i think that netanyahu, who is not shy at all about fighting terrorists and standing few he for himself ands country, if 80% agree with it, it was the right thing to do. >> eric: before his release, mr. shalit was required to do an interview for palestinian

television. take a look, we're going to roll video of that. do we have a shot of this, guys? listen to this. >> translator: yes, it was long years. i was thinking i was going to stay for many more years. >> what do you do while in captivity? >> translator: i missed my family and i missed my friends. i want to talk to them and tell them about my life in captivity. vy a lot to tell. >> eric: while we talk about this, juan, one of the conditions for his release is that interview. but there were pictures that we found. palestinians are saying this is not true. but apparently there were some people, some guards -- look at that. that is him doing the same interview. why would you negotiate, if you're israel, why would you negotiate with these people? >> juan: let me say something. this is untenable. from the united states' point of view, i know what, i understand the politics of it for netanyahu. i agree with greg, it's a human being. if it's my child, i want my kid back. it understand.

but this is a bad situation. if anything, isn't this time for israel and palestinians to finally do something? basically the palestinians and hamas have said they're going to engage in more kidnapping to get more israelis and more prisoners. this is like -- and you don't see any gift from the israelis, and whatever the united states and obama administration say let's do something. >> eric: hold on, hold on. >> juan: you are missing the point. eric, give in terms of let's negotiate. let's do a deal. >> dana: netanyahu said he would. >> juan: but he won't. >> andrea: he would in front of the u.n. >> eric: palestinians are asking for the u.n. to recognize their country as state. does this help or hurt that? >> dana: it hurts -- it hurts them -- it might help them with some of their neighbors. it doesn't help them with the united states, who has been the driving force of trying to get them to come together. i'm curious about the timing of this, though. it's right before, you know, palestinian tries the maneuver at the u.n.

a couple of months ago we had, a little bit, four months ago last spring between netanyahu and president obama. you remember that rift? it seems to me that they will look back on this in 30 days or 60 days and say ahh, maybe that was the beginning of some sort of -- >> andrea: a lot of this is p.r. if you talk to the middle east experts. a lot of it is p.r. israelis lose p.r. war to palestinians. they say they will use the maneuver to say a lot of prisoners released, some of them were israelis. some of them, we represent all different kinds of ethnicities, so we really are on the right side of the issue, which isn't true. >> eric: we have to leave it there. sorry. coming up, susan sarandon under fire tonight and rightfully so i might add for her very offensive reference to pope benedict. we have her comments next on "the five." ♪ ♪ ♪
