11:00 pm
greta wire.com and so much more. so good night from washington, d.c.. keep it on fox news, see you tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m. eastern. captioned by closed captioning services, inc >> kimberly: i'm kimberly guilfoyle with bob beckel, eric bolling, dana perino, andrea tantaros. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> kimberly: once again, vice president joe biden has stepped in it. this time talking abouts possiba slavery reference. >> big banks once again write their own rules. unchain wall street. they're going to put y'all back in chains. >> kimberly: well, was the vice president playing racial politics with those comments?
11:01 pm
>> today, i think it was an appeal to racial unrest. i mean, davenville, virginia -- danville, virginia, south side of virginia, historically african-american community, strong african-american population throughout the south side of virginia. where they used to have plantations. to say we're going to put you back in chains, you know, makes it look like that the republican ticket are going to be a bunch of slave owners who are going to enslave african-americans again. this is insensitive language. >> kimberly: mitt romney has had it with these kind of comments from the obama camp. >> another outrageous charge just came a few hours ago in virginia. and the white house sinks a little bit lower. this is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. his campaign and his surrogates made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency. so, mr. president, take your
11:02 pm
campaign of division and anger and hate back to chicago. and let us get about rebuilding united america. >> kimberly: well, the obama team is back tracking somewhat, but certainly not apologizing. is that a wise move, da? a? would you advise the president to make a statement and apologize? >> dana: they should have a meeting and take a deep breath, step back. it is only august. what is today? 13? 15? they have a ways to go. marathon, not a sprint. i understand that you are in a campaign event. the crowd is cheering, and you're into it and you're with the people. and then you say something that you probably would not say in most civil society. you are the elected vice president of the united states. i think they should have just said step too far. emotions run wild on a campaign. we're focused on bringing america back. that would have been a good and gracious way to handal it. >> kimberly: sounds good. maybe they'll take the advice. eric? >> eric: people make
11:03 pm
mistakes. people say things and clearly in my opinion it looked like he was trying to be cute and funny. like the way joe does quite often. he made three kind of gaffes in that same speech. but it's always the cover up. it's always what happens in the wake of the mistake that is interesting. what the obama campaign -- here is the obama campaign and the obama white house. what the white house and the campaign are playing ball for each other. the campaign has said no, the white house is fine. joe biden is fine. perfectly fine with what he said. joe biden -- i said this earlier, man up and say i made a mistake. it should haven't used that reference. bad reference. i didn't mean it. clearly i didn't mean it. it would be better. we wouldn't talk about it. but instead, stephanie cutter goes on the talk shows. they're full of it. >> andrea: stephanie cutter says they're full of it and biden tried to explain himself and he made it worse. he said i meant to say
11:04 pm
unshackled which implies that african-american are currently shackled. he should have said i'm sorry. the way he said it and tried to cover it up the african-american community says this is not appropriate, any talk of shackling, any of this stuff. if a republican did it, there would be outrage. >> kimberly: batting clean-up, bob beckel. >> bob: in fairness, he was talking about unshackling banks which would shackle a lot of people. a bad use of words. karl rove says it's playing to the racial unrest. i don't know of racial unrest in danville. i know the area well. he says this is a place where there is a lot of, you know, plantations, there were plantations all over virginia. not just southwest part of the
11:05 pm
state. i think joe as usual probably did. ace dana said, he did get with the emotion of the crowd. i think the idea of unshackling the banks does shackle a lot of people. >> eric: so you are saying he meant to use that reference, shackling, unchaining? you are carrying water for the guys. he made a mistake. >> bob: i just said that. >> eric: how does that relate? shackling or unshackling refers to a crowd of -- >> bob: what romney has said is he basically wants to take a lot of restrictions off the banks, which if you do that, they will put us back where they were before. shackled under their guillotine which as far as i'm concerned unshackling big banks is the most ridiculous thing you could propose. it will hurt. i said joe said, he should not have used the words but the intent here had nothing to do with race baiting or anything else.
11:06 pm
>> dana: now we brought in the french revolution. >> bob: french revolution was cleaner. >> andrea: he said want to put y'all back in chains. you defended biden better than biden did himself. he should have said i shouldn't have said it. the more we talk, the more i perpetuates the story. >> bob: but be careful. if you jump on the other side to suggest that biden is playing to racism here. >> eric: what says a lot about a man's character is how he apologizes for a mistake. to me, president obama and biden, he can't man up and say i'm sorry. made a mistake. we've done it here. you've done it, i've done it. >> bob: i've done it. >> kimberly: you man up.
11:07 pm
>> bob: i repeat, yes, i have done it many times. but listen, the fact is romney does not apologize for calling the president of the united states un-american. so why does he just man up himself and take back the socialism and apologist and un-american. maybe that would be a good start. >> kimberly: okay. >> dana: fair point. >> kimberly: andrea, the fact it's coming from joe biden. people take it with a grain of salt because he's known to be gaffe-prone. do they give him a pass like someone else we know? >> andrea: they do. on the left they shake their hands and go oh, joe. it's joe again. but really? think about what they are accusing mitt romney of a serious about sation to a crowd -- accusation to a crowd that is primarily african-american. it wouldn't oh, paul, or oh, mitt if it was another
11:08 pm
republican. >> dana: dick cheney in the 2004 re-election had said something like that, imagine, and there would be completely different reaction. any reporter who says differently is not being honest. >> eric: or governor palin. imagine if governor palin said it. >> bob: there were a lot of things that democrats would have said that had the press jump all over it, too. but the point i get back to the banks. he was talking about the banks who should be shackled and they should be shackled hard, because left unshackled they shackled the rest of americans. >> dana: if we get on the substance of that, they are talking about the dodd-frank rules legislation passed in the wake of the financial crisis. some of the stuff in that legislation is really good. some of it everyone has decided, except for people who supported it that it went too far. that it's helping keep down the economy from growing. talk about fix the parts that went too far. >> bob: for smaller banks that went to far, they can fix that. one thing we're talking about, unshackling the small and
11:09 pm
mid-size banks. you talk about this as a dirty campaign. if you think this is a dirty campaign, you have to idea what is a dirty campaign. i remember when i had a guy running for senator, in north carolina. they had a white guy holding employment agreement and black guy's hand snatch it out. the same republican party sent letters to the black communities saying if you vote in the wrong place you have $5,000 fine. go down to -- i mean, when richard nixon accused musky's wife of being crazy. this is nothing. this is softball. >> andrea: th last week we talked about a candidate accusing another candidate of murdering a woman. that's pretty low. even you said. >> bob: i thought it was a bad use, that last line should have been dropped out but not that tough. >> dana: that's a question. so it's only august 15. we have until november 6. where do thing goes from here?
11:10 pm
>> bob: starting to get tougher but in the scheme of things it's not that tough. >> kimberly: there is a lot of criticism of romney saying he hasn't been tough enough, he needs to step up to the plate. give the conservatives a little bit of what newt did or stand up like sununu and fight back, have punch to it. do you think this is in keeping with what he should be doing or not far enough? >> eric: we just talked about that with the sound bite running of romney. he is speaking with a different vigor in his voice. i think paul ryan selection is probably a lot to do with it. very quickly, purple poll, poll that polls the likely voters in swing states. the swing is happening. the polls are starting to move toward romney contributing because of the president obama ryan pick. not colorado but virginia, ohio, florida moved toward romney. we will see more of romney. >> kimberly: bob is going to say it's within the typical margin of error. >> bob: no, no, no. >> eric: romney is leading in florida, ohio, and
11:11 pm
virginia. >> bob: ohio? >> eric: florida, ohio, virginia. >> andrea: the bite we played he was measured and very tough. he was calm. but the obama campaign in trying to i guess attack him, or attacking them for this, they came out and said -- let me finish. he tried to paint romney as being off the rails. >> kimberly: unhinged. >> bob: romney was running a dirty campaign himself by opening his mouth and calling the president of the united states un-american. that is a dirty campaign. romney clean up his own act first. >> kimberly: go back to chicago which is what you should say when you want to take somebody's job. >> bob: you think it's okay to call the president of the united states un-american? >> kimberly: i didn't say it's okay to call him un-american. but i hardly think mitt romney is unhinged or out of line. >> bob: that's out of line. >> eric: to be clear, did he callresident obama un-american or his policys? >> dana: policies. >> bob: it doesn't matter. >> eric: it does matter. >> bob: did he say the republicans were going to chain them? joe biden said the bank, the banks are unchained.
11:12 pm
you guys are giving romney a pass. romney has been tough or tougher and his facts have been worse in attacking obama than the other way around. >> kimberly: all the ads accusing -- >> bob: it wasn't something attacked? >> kimberly: all right. >> bob: we'll take it. >> kimberly: coming up, if you are a senior citizen will medicare be around if mitt romney wins the election? we have that answer when we come back. stay with us. ♪ ♪

11:17 pm
miff campaign has made it very clear. the president's cuts of $716 billion to medicare, those cuts are going to be restored if i become president and paul ryan becomes vice president. >> dana: all right. "weekly standard" editor bill kristol had some interesting insight on the differences between the medicare plan. here is bill. >> obama thinks $700 billion from medicare to pay for obamacare. this pile, that pile. ryan's budget says okay, we can save $700 billion by reforming medicare and put it in the medicare trust fund to make medicare solvent for the future. take money from medicare and put it in the future of medicare. romney said that's complicated. just leave medicare alone, we'll fix it going forward. in any case, we're not taking $700 billion from medicare. ryan and romney have a small difference. romney is the candidate. ryan is running on the romney plan. period. >> dana: all right. medicare, nothing short of complicated. but one thing that the republicans, political consultants off-camera and on
11:18 pm
background are saying is that maybe ryan wasn't a great choice because now republicans have to talk about medicare. but, andrea, is it possibly a brilliant move that now we talk about medicare and bill kristol says cut $760 million in medicare to pay for obamacare. ryan would have preserved it in the trust fund and romney says we'll deal with it later. maybe it's not such a bad idea. >> andrea: it's risky, but now watching ryan and romney explain it, i'm a little bit relieved. i do think a lot of people worried this is complicated, the democrats are going to say everything, paul krugman will write columns saying they are going to kill somebody over this! they will actually kill people over this plan. but listening to them, dana, the more i hear both of them i'm so glad it's happening. there is a lot of seniors out there that don't know the truth and don't know that their medicare has already been cut. we can sit here and debate the plans back and forth. what are romney and ryan going
11:19 pm
to do. the fact of if matter is, obama already cut it. it's not a plan. it's the law of the land. i'm glad they can say here is the difference. ryan will put in a trust fund. romney said you know what? i would leave it back in medicare. it's a great answer. >> bob: obama has not cut your medicare one iota. >> dana: he did! >> bob: number two, what romney says here is let's put it all back in medicare and deal with it down the road. doesn't want to argue about it. we shouldn't be dealing with it down the road. >> dana: where is there evidence that obama did not cut $760 million -- >> bob: i haven't heard a single person to say that. >> dana: it's a fact. it was in the bill. >> bob: the bill went forward and implemented certain changes in medicare to lower the cost of medicare. >> dana: what are the changes? the independent panel that would decide what cuts are going to be made to medicare. >> bob: what is wrong with that? >> dana: what is wrong with that is got controlling rather than competitive defined contribution thing. this is a problem with this thing. medicare is so complicated. kimberly, you next, because it's so much easier to say
11:20 pm
they're going to take away your medicare than it is to explain no, actually, blah, blah, blah. this is what is actually happening. it doesn't work in a 20-second sound bite. >> kimberly: that is the problem. they want to do the politics of fear. it's incumbent upon the romney campaign to get out in front of this and define it versus being on the defensive. specifically state to the seniors out there, to those voters in florida that are listening to this. right? because you have to explain. you to lay it out in clear terms as you see at the table, there is confusion as what is real and what is imagine. if you go to mitt romney.com -- >> bob: there's a place to go. >> kimberly: well, it's his plan, so if you want to know if you should vote for him as president go to his website and read what he believes instead of demonizing and tagging on his ankle what ryan's plan is. he is the top of the ticket. he is going to make the decisions. that's the bottom line. >> dana: do you mind if we getter rick in here? i want to ask a strategy question. paul ryan announced on saturday, did a "60 minute"
11:21 pm
speech and now on the road doing fundraising. that's important because the race will be expensive. do you think he should get on air and do interviews explaining the situation? >> eric: absolutely not. it spent the better part of all day today and trying to figure out the plan. this is what i found out. i'm not sure it will work. it's not a mandatory switch over from the defined benefits to the defined contribution. that is going to be a problem. people have a choice to not do a thing. people are lazy, they might. here is the issue. it has to be laid out this way. either you have obamacare or you don't. because obamacare literally may kill you. you say romney did kill, this could kill you because of the independent panel. that board will be a big problem. bureaucrats deciding what fiscally is responsible for which operations -- >> bob: that's not going to happen >> andrea: yes, they are. >> eric: when you are sick, there is no amount of money you wouldn't willing to pay to feel better. i know you have someone else deciding what is good or not
11:22 pm
good. and whether it's worth the money and the expense. >> bob: beside going to a website -- >> eric: i didn't go to a web page. i spent a whole day reading up on. this >> bob: i'm saying this has been explained to me you can go to the free market insurance company and get a program, or if you don't that, romney says you go back to medicare. that means that medicare hasn't changed one iota and probably means it will go up in cost. >> andrea: look at history. medicare part "d." i was on capitol hill at the time. dana, you may have been in the white house. everyone was very nervous about it. i remember members of congress were saying oh, my, gosh, we have to explain it to the district. now ask any senior, they love it. change is difficult. explaining is tough in politics. seniors are very savvy when it comes -- >> bob: what is tough is believing for a second that the health insurance companies in this country will play fair. they won't. they'll jack up prices. >> eric: if you want a sale
11:23 pm
for the romney plan? here is the sales pitch. all the seniors with medicare advantage it's going away under obamacare. it's gone. >> kimberly: that is the fact. >> bob: what which you pay for anyway. >> eric: no, no no,, no, bob. no, no, no. you personally pay for it. it's also subsidized. stop it. that's disingenuous. medicare advantage is going away. >> bob: not disingenuous that romney will take care of the medicare needs if you don't like it in the free market system? >> dana: romney hasn't detailed his plan, which is a problem. if you don't supply the details your opponents will do it for you. the ryan plan specifically is what it is. here is the other thing. it doesn't matter. that bill was voted on. rejected by the senate democrat. he's now the viceth candidate. i'm romney's guy. it doesn't matter. the bill is going nowhere. >> bob: why isn't romney explaining it? that was the explanation this morning. >> has explained it. >> bob: has it worked? does anybody understand it? >> andrea: i understand it.
11:24 pm
>> bob: that's good. >> dana: we have to go but this was a rivetting discussion. special operations veterans are not happy with president obama. let's take a listen. >> as a citizen, it's my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy. it will get americans killed. >> dana: that is part of a new documentary out today that questions the president's role in leak about the bin laden kill. we'll be back in a moment. ♪ ♪

>> dana: aspire to meet him. >> bob: bring in another topic. it started to play football, peewee football league at 7 years old. a kid now wants to start. 12 years old and wants to be in peewee football but he weighs 300 pounds and over six feet tall. they won't let him play pee-wee. i can understand given that size he might do damage to kids. but this kid is saying he doesn't know anything about football and wants to learn. that's how i learned to play the game. i'm of a mixed mind of this. >> kimberly: it's a problem because they talk about a weight designation and would he have an unfair advantage or injuries to other children. in a different -- it's like fighting outside your class in boxing. your weight division. so you're not going to put a heavyweight against a lightweight or featherweight, et cetera, welterweight. so that's what they are saying. i feel bad for him. it should be allowed to play. breaks my heart when kids can't play sports. >> bob: he has alternatives but there is a case to be made. first, this is their -- pee wee is an organization to make

change its name. i think it's outrage and they should change it to young person's football game. >> bob: would you let your kid play in this with 6-foot, 300 pounds? >> eric: no. honestly, i'm all for freedom of games and may the best team win. but this, kids could get hurt. kimberly is right. there is probably something else to play. >> dana: mentally, they said he could play with the high school team. if you're 12 you don't have the maturity yet to play with the high school team. >> eric: he could get hurt. >> kimberly: girls that are great kickers, too. >> bob: if you have something the say to end the segment? >> kimberly: what do you mean? besides boxing? yeah, one more thing is up! >> bob: next. >> kimberly: is up next! >> bob: up next. ♪ ♪
