tv   The Five  FOX News  September 9, 2013 11:00pm-12:01am PDT

11:00 pm
tweeting about the video. little people, fine. miley, yuck. and david tweeted, the little people may never be taken seriously again. thanks for being with us tonight. gretawire.com. good night from washington. t throughout the show. let us know how you feel tomorrow. hello, everyone. i'm kimberly gill foil. it's 5:00 in new york city. and this is "the five." we've got a jam-packed show for you tonight. less than an hour away from a brand-new interview with president obama on syria. make sure to stay tuned for that. tomorrow night, the president will address the nation. a special programming note, set your dvrs. for a special 11:00 p.m. edition of "the five" tomorrow with reaction to his speech. >> boo. >> wow, immature. now, today's developments on syria. it was all hands on deck from
11:01 pm
the administration and their allies in a final push to convince the country that we need to attack. >> the assad regime's inhuman use of weapons of mass destruction against innocent men, women and children violates a universal norm at the heart of our global order. and, therefore, it demands a strong response from the international community led by the united states. >> if there are no consequences, assad gets the message he is free to use these going forward. >> the evidence is powerful. and the question for all of us is what are we going to do about it? turn our backs? have a moment of silence? where a dictator can with impunity threaten the rest of the world he's going to retaliate? >> what do you make of these comments? you even saw hillary clinton. >> everyone was out today. susan rice, hillary clinton,
11:02 pm
john kerry. susan rice said there is no negotiating with these people. hillary clinton, on the other hand, said maybe we should sit down and negotiate this. i'd like to find out where the american people are now. in the last poll, 48% of the american people against attacking syria. guess what, we went from 48% against to 63% opposing attacking syria right now. so it's gone up 15%. 70% of republicans oppose. 66% of independents oppose. and 53% of democrats oppose doing this. the american people don't want this. i can't figure out why in hell we're going to do this. >> from a communications standpoint, let's talk about the messaging. it seems they are not connecting with the american people to be able to get the kind of support across the board that they need. perhaps there was some problems, you know, with the videos that came out. people were very suspicious and didn't want to get involved in syria. a lot of "that's not our war, our problem." >> i think you're being kind in
11:03 pm
the way you're describing their situation. so if you want to support the president, it's not your responsibility to convince the american people. it is theirs. president obama on saturday was not out talking about this. he was playing golf. on sunday, they had on the sunday shows dennis mcdonough, the chief of staff, not convincing. today when president obama -- right now he is in the middle of right now doing six network interviews. but one of the things he has to do is clean up the mess from everybody else in the administration who's been speaking today, including his own secretary of state john kerry, which basically undid everything that the president talked about last week. >> i'm glad you brought that up. let's take a listen to secretary kerry. >> is there anything at this point that his government could do or offer that would stop an attack? >> sure. he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to
11:04 pm
the commas the international community next week. turn it over, all of it. without delay. and allow a full and total accounting for that. but he isn't about to do it. it can't be done obviously. >> all right. this is the latest communication message -- >> but if this is an option, why wasn't that an option two weeks ago when kerry gave a speech about why intervention was necessary? and now president putin has taken them up on their offer, okay, i'll call on assad to do that. >> you gave him that idea. >> not really. >> isn't that another red line? >> which one? >> didn't john kerry just draw another red line? we'll give you a week to turn it over or else? >> i think it was light pink. >> i heard somebody say it was the red eraser. >> i had a friend of mine who was polling, put in a question that was not about going to war with syria. the question was, if you were convinced that the evidence was there, that syria had used
11:05 pm
chemical weapons against innocent men, women and children, would you support a u.s. effort to get rid of the delivery mechanism? now, i was shocked. it still was 50% against going into doing that. and something like, i don't know, 30% or something. 35% in favor of it. now, you know, i could say this is people who are war weary and the rest of it. there's a dynamic i don't understand. maybe they don't trust obama. but having said that, that does not change the reality. the reality is, they're not going to take the chemical weapon s and turn them over to the international community. no matter what kerry said. or putin making that cheap offer at the end. we have a moral imperative to go and take these things out. if we don't, we're going to pay a terrible price for it down the road. >> where? where are we going to pay that price? >> every des spot who has chemical weapons is going to use them with impunity. >> i disagree.
11:06 pm
clearly the invasion of iraq didn't do anything to assad. obama has created a new kind of coalition. it's a consensus of nothing. or a non-sensus. all hands on deck while the ship is sinking. eight people saying eight different things. it's not a government, it's the "brady bunch." the red line in my opinion was a red herring. this was never that important to obama. syria was never that important. the things that are outside our border were never important. for him, it's always been about the social change within our borders. inclauding open borders. climate change, taxation, obama care. his role is a progressive society. the other stuff like syria is essentially playinglitaire unti show is on. this is essentially just wasting time just so he can get to the things he wants to do. there have been so many contradictory messages it's actually hurt them. >> you don't believe he feels strongly? >> i don't believe he feels strongly about anything.
11:07 pm
i believe -- >> maybe michelle obama feels strongly about children getting gassed. >> what we really need to find out is whether or not this will help or not. >> i believe he might be the most ambivalent leader we've ever had in the history of this country. he is too cool for school. so it's like if this doesn't happen, if we don't like it, it's okay. it's why they use academic language whenever they're talking about something. why he wants to unpack a question. this is all about kind of like a lackadaisical way of looking at the world that doesn't actually project leadership. >> i couldn't agree more. >> my point is, what's the reason for going into syria. you say there's a moral obligation i guess. you want to fulfill your moral obligations, send them humanitarian aid. i've seen more videos. the muslim brotherhood is posting on my facebook page. syrian people who are pro-assad.
11:08 pm
posting stuff far more disturbing than anything out of the white house. this isn't our conflict. >> you think we're on the wrong side of this? >> president obama goes into syria for one reason, to stabilize syria or the middle east. by doing so, i believe, and so do the american people believe, that by doing so he's going to have the opposite effect. he's going to destabilize the region. >> you believe we do not act -- every other despot in the world will not feel they can use them with impunity? >> i don't believe that's the case. >> you said iraq, afghanistan, didn't seem to have any effect. it was a precedent that didn't matter to bashar al assad because he didn't seem in any way dissuaded from acting in the way he does. >> what did you mean by that? >> i'm just saying the threat of america doing something had no effect on assad's dealing and, you know, perhaps 100,000 deaths in this country -- >> can we take a step back? if the american people don't want it, why are we doing it? why would we say, go ahead, president obama, risk our money,
11:09 pm
risk our lives. what's the point? >> there's too much confusion behind it because no one has a clear answer. >> the american people didn't want medicare either. >> did he not raise his right hand to protect, preserve and defend the united states? that would be including answering to the american people. >> where is it in the constitution that says you have to have a majority of american people? >> we need to do something. i want to talk about congress. what's he going to do there? will he convince them what kind of support? there's an interesting piece of sound we can listen to. representative adam kinsinger offering his help. >> when you need their support on something like this, i mean, look, a week and a half ago, my office reached out to the white house and said, we support the strike on syria, we're going to help you round up support if you need it. i haven't heard back from the white house yet. i haven't heard back from anyone. i don't even know who my white house liaison is which is supposed to be creating this relationship. >> that doesn't sound -- >> this has been a year's long
11:10 pm
problem for the president. he has terrible congressional relations. i don't know whether -- why they wouldn't have taken the congressman up on his offer. there are probably others. this does go back to i think just to pull all these points together. in 2011, there was an iaea board of governor's report on chemical weapons in syria. president obama a year later made the remarks about the red line in syria. then it seems to me, unless they can show me differently, there was no planning, no outreach, no work of -- to build up congressional relations in the last year. six months ago, there is reports out of france and britain that syria used chemical weapons. it does beg a question of whether or not president obama had his eye on the ball, on the whole middle east region in general. they've got huge problems in egypt. they've had benghazi on their plate for a year. if -- i think by staging a congressional vote, president obama has weakened future
11:11 pm
presidents, whoever they might be. >> why they ever asked for this vote in the first place makes no sense. there was no constitutional reason. no any other reason -- >> there is no reason to put yourself out there and strike out. >> i didn't know it was going to be this bad. by the way, congressional relations, he has tried from day one -- >> oh, here we go. >> yes, he has. they've turned hi down left and right for purely political and, in my view, in many cases -- >> i think that will be proven false. when you look back -- the report on the obama care vote where they looked at any members of congress for weeks leading up to the first vote. they never even heard anything from the white house. it was an arrogant way to treat them. they've been the most important white house. even from the white house podium. the president himself. and so they've basically -- they're reaping what they sow. >> i think the funniest thing we've overlooked here is john kerry's stipulation that the attack would be unbelievably
11:12 pm
small. does that mean we're going to be bombing them with confetti poppers? imagine post-9/11 if george bush said, okay, they flew planes in our buildings, we're going to respond with something unbelievably small. it doesn't strike fear in your enemies to tell them how small your response. this is something a surgeon says to a patient. this won't hurt a bit. but assad is not our patient. assad is our enemy at this point. apparently -- >> that's a very good point. what do you think was his thinking behind that? >> he was trying to assure the american public. that reassurement to the american public actually reassured assad they can actually endure, perhaps tolerate lightly even a small pin briprick. >> what's the takeaway? >> you have the u.n. who say don't go. a lot of the international community say don't go. the american people overwhelmingly say don't go.
11:13 pm
there's only one reason for president obama to do it. he's taking it upon himself. he's an egotistical move. i don't know. really? nobel peace prize winner? avoiding all the indications that say don't go, he's going to go. >> you think he's trying to protect his legacy? >> i have no idea why this man wants to kill a bunch of syrians. >> he wants to kill people who are delivering these weapons of mass destruction. >> you want to talk war powers act? if he doesn't do that, there has to be an imminent threat against the american people. where is it? >> there will be. if you allow this guy to get -- >> at that point, then you go. >> by allowing him to go ahead and do this, you pose an imminent threat to the american people. >> i think what bob's talking about is the argument of preemption and can president obama convince the american people, tonight in the interviews and in his prime-time speech tomorrow night, that he has a plan that will be a deterrent. that the military effort that he's proposing will be so
11:14 pm
disproportionate that assad will change his plans or his -- here's the worst -- this is the worst outcome. say that president obama does it, it's unbelievably small, and then chemical weapons are used again. >> sure. >> it's the plans a, b and c that they haven't laid out. even to people like dianne feinstein who was out this weekend. the video of the innocent women and children suffering, can't get a breath and die from the chemical weapons used. i think there should be a price for that. but the administration continues to unravel its case. it's like when you -- you're not supposed to pull a thread on a sweater. they've been putting it all day long and there's nothing left of the sweater. >> they should have played that video over and over again. and say, look, you vote against this, take a look at this. the first women and children we know of. except for assad and hitler who did this. >> you're not trying to remove
11:15 pm
assad. the goal is not to remove assad. you're still going to keep the same regime. >> i repeat myself. the last two people who used these things were adolf hitler and saddam hussein. >> you were for that war? >> no, we went in and did something about this. >> if president obama has a message tomorrow, will anybody be listening? he's gone from a forceful leader to a tree in the forest. as he falls, no one's even hearing it anymore. >> directly ahead, what will syria do if the united states attacks? here's bashar assad's response today. >> everything expect. expect everything. >> tell me what you mean by "expect everything." >> expect every action. >> that and much more from the syrian despot when "the five" returns. stay with us.
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
11:18 pm
11:19 pm
♪ into the great wide open ♪ under the skies a blue welcome back, everybody. syrian president assad spoke today. we got a glimpse into the mind
11:20 pm
of many believe to be a monster of epic proportions. charlie rose asked him what will happen in the u.s. attacks. take a listen. >> you expect everything. expect everything. not necessarily through the government. the governments are not the only player in this region. you have different parties. you have different factions. you have different ideology. you have everything. you have to expect that. >> tell me what you mean by "expect everything." >> expect every action. >> including chemical warfare? >> that depends. if the -- if the rebels or the terrorists in this region or any other group have it. it could happen. i don't know. i'm not a fortune teller. this area, where everything is on the brink of explosion, you have to expect everything. >> all right. we'll go around the table. ladies first. >> general in the united states
11:21 pm
military once told me beware dictators who speak very good english. because behind that -- all the on few situation he was trying to use there, it was a wink and nod to say, you're not completely safe in america either. thought that the interview was a great get for charlie rose. interesting to hear from assad. nobody had heard from him in quite a while. probably one of the most helpful things for president obama to be a contrast to assad. >> beware dictators who speak -- doesn't obama fit in that category? >> i won't go there. >> look, he's not afraid to go forward. like dana said, i thought he made a great choice to kind of make his case. but he also made it very clear, well spoken or not, that he is a man of means and resources, and he will be unafraid to use them. that everything's on the table. beware of that. that was definitely a direct threat to the united states so take it seriously. >> two things. one, never trust a man with a
11:22 pm
see-through mustache. number two, did you notice what his response was? he didn't say, we will respond with an unbelievably small attack. you talked about the difference between the two people. >> right. >> this is the issues. you've got kind of a widespread response. convoluted response from the obama administration. an unbelievably small attack. here you have a guy who says we will destroy you. >> bob, there's some reports that hezbollah and has ma'mas m on the side of the syrian regime. saying it might be one of those groups. >> leaving that aside, we're allowing somebody who has broken international law and law of morality by killing people and children and women and noncombatant men with chemical weapons. who has now just threatened the united states of america. we're going to let a dictator threaten us by saying no matter what happens? his english is not bad.
11:23 pm
it doesn't matter. who does he think he is? does he scare you? are you frightened? >> next, assad on whether or not he approves of chemical warfare. listen. >> do you approve of the use of chemical warfare? >> what do you mean? >> the use of chemicals, deadly chemicals? >> do i think we have to use them -- >> do you think it is an appropriate tour of war to use chemicals? >> chemicals? >> yes. >> we are against weapons of mass destruction, weather chemical or nuclear. >> you're against the use of chemical warfare? >> yes. not only me, as a state, as a government. >> okay, dana. >> in 2006 or '07 i believe it was, israel, in a covert strike, took out a nuclear weapons plant that assad was building with the help of the north koreans. and assad didn't say boo. and the international community just stood back and said, that was the right thing to do. and they secretly praised israel
11:24 pm
for it. and nobody would have thought that assad -- at that point -- would have been the monster that he has proven to be. if you look at senator john kerry, having dinner with him just two years ago. >> a reformer. >> i remember when nancy pelosi decided to go over because she wanted to have diplomatic relations with him. i think we have to realize that conservativism, when it comes to foreign policy, is a little bit more realistic. because humans can be very evil. and he is. >> oh, yes, i mean, he's been grossly underestimated by the exact people that are now faced with the task to deal with him. i think he's much more of a match, you know, then -- and they're not equipped to deal with it. they have shown that from the beginning with their poor messaging, their indecisiveness. their waffling. all of it is bad. it looks bad for the u.s. >> underestimated by who? >> by this administration. >> oh, ridiculous. this administratio chemical wea and you wusss don't want to do
11:25 pm
anything about it. let more children die, go ahead. >> most of america, wusses for not wanting to bomb syria, you heard it from bob. he should blame the chemical attack on rebels who are upset over the anti-islam video. the white house would just say, we felt the same way about b bengha benghazi. maybe that's what happened here. just the perfect way to get out of it. >> that's fine, film maker in hollywood. >> anti-war, hollywood has never missed an opportunity to attack iraq or afghanistan but they've been silent about syria. the reason why is going to blow your mind. greg's got it next.
11:26 pm
11:27 pm
11:28 pm
11:29 pm
11:30 pm
american activists want to go to syria to act as human shields. they're going to camp out as targets. this happened after more appearances by code pink who for some reason can get into places where i'd be kicked out. if there was a heaven, code pink would be there screaming st. peter be tried for war crimes. for then, any potential conflict is met with an anguished no. there's no right or wrong. only a universal need for peace which ignores the atrocities of human history. what are pass visits? they will not fight under any means. it's impossible for all of us to be pasivists. nazis in radical. last week, i asked, where are the hollywood peace nicks?
11:31 pm
in one giant underground rehab? i guess bashing obama is like disagreeing with your favorite hippie protester. you can't protest a protester. because of this, quote, a lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to obama. wow. so, a, you're telling me that celebrities are abandoning a principle stand in order to preserve their social standing among their own cowardly circles? in hollywood, that's called monday. kimberly, do -- >> you're going to say this? >> what? >> just a sitting duck here. go ahead. >> we haven't heard from a lot of people. but we heard from ed asner. is he right? >> i do know ed personally. >> you know everybody. >> well, he's my uncle from my first marriage so i guess -- >> ed asner? >> no, really. i've stayed at his house. yes. >> lou grant. >> very nice man. very talented actor. as you can imagine, we had some serious discussions at all the
11:32 pm
dinner tables, holidays, differing viewpoints. at least he's speaking out about what he believes is the real reason behind it. go ahead. >> he validated everything that a lot of conservatives felt. >> what he did is he provided cover -- >> he should come on the conservative side. >> he provided cover for the rest of the principled anti-war people. buzz feed put up -- in response probably to your question. put up 14 principled anti-war activists who they feared being kidnapped since we haven't from them. sean penn, clooney, janeane garofalo, neil young, et cetera. madonna, one of your good friends, jane fonda, where are they? >> these are supporters of obama. supporters of any president are not going to go out there and stand against him. why would they do that? >> -- a bunch of syrians in war
11:33 pm
dying here, that's where they go. >> you keep saying a bunch. you have no idea. if we're going to attack military installations -- >> no one's going to die. >> don't you want military people to die? >> not our war. >> dana, let's go to this move on.org ad which i haven't watched because i was busy getting my nails done. >> we never set out to spend eight years at war in iraq or to be mired down for more than a decade of fighting in afghanistan. so what should america expect if we rush into syria alone with no real plan for the consequences? we already know. it gets worse. congress, most americans oppose missile strikes in syria. don't lead us down this road again. >> do you think a lot of this is always just going to be the same answer, which is don't go to war, even if there is a war that you're meant to go into? it's just -- it's an assumption they always land on. >> you could just say that's
11:34 pm
principled in a way it moveon.org was the same way, in regard to the surge in iraq, put out the full page ad and named general petraeus general betray-us, remember that? >> very clever. >> i remember this sinking feeling, how disgusting it is. on the hollywood piece, president obama has worked harder and built better relations with people in hollywood than he has members of congress. unfortunately for hip, people in hollywood don't get a vote. you have moveon.org plus apac which is the organization that works on israel relations, they're both going to score this vote. you have to figure out, are you going to go with the moveon people, that might be where your heart is, but you also might support israel. they're betwixt and between. >> what a nice play on words. >> he has to cancel his
11:35 pm
fund-raising trip to hollywood which really suck because they just disinfected their hot tub. >> i was thinking he might think he might not get a favorable -- he know he's not that popular right now in hollywood. >> yes. >> i'll tell you where you'll find him. an upcoming state dinner for the president of brazil. hollywood will be there. >> the international community has been building over the weekend more and more support for president obama's position. there have been some members of congress like barbara murkowski who have seen the light finally. and maybe, just maybe, who knows, there's a possibility you could pull this off. >> it's out of the 450 members of congress, there's still only about 24 who are strongly in favor. >> bob could have -- that move on.org commercial, that would have been bob's "one more thing" every single day for the last two years. >> -- chemical weapons and killing children, not at all.
11:36 pm
and i think moveon.org should be ashamed of themselves. >> all right. okay then. directly ahead, almost exactly one year since the attack on our consulate in benghazi. why hasn't anyone been brought to justice? plus, new information from one of the benghazi whistleblowers.
11:37 pm
11:38 pm
11:39 pm
11:40 pm
♪ used to share the things i saw ♪ did you pick that? >> i did not pick that. that was the producer. wednesday will mark one year since four americans were killed in benghazi and thursday will mark a year since president obama said this -- >> make no mistake. we will work with the libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people. make no mistake, justice will be
11:41 pm
done. >> nobody has been arrested since then. charges have been filed against the suspected ringleader. chris wallace asked the white house chief of staff about it yesterday on his show. >> why is it that reporters seem to be able to find this guy who the government is charging for involvement in benghazi but our law enforcement can't find him? >> look, we've been very clear that we will hold those people who carried out this heinous attack against our people. >> it's been a year, sir. >> it has been a year. you know what the united states does, chris, is we track every lead until we find and can accomplish what we say we will do. >> why can't we find -- >> this president has demonstrated that and we will do that. >> that was the white house chief of staff. >> he looks like the eagle from "the muppets." >> oh, really? >> looks like a very broad -- >> square face. >> eagle face. >> strong jaw. okay, benghazi, go.
11:42 pm
>> you cannot blame the administration for not finding these guys within a year. it took us a decade to get bin laden. i don't think there's any effort in this at all. the reason why there is no effort in looking for these people is because the media colluded with the administration into a single conclusion that benghazi didn't matter as much as anything else did. and in a way to me they were slow on benghazi. the more we followed the story, the less they took it seriously. i call it fox news avoidance syndrome. the more serious we took it, the more they were like, that's a fox news thing. >> those people are crazy. >> yes. george stephanopoulos on abc interviewed a state department employee, greg hick who testified earlier this year. let's listen to this. >> career limbo inside the state department? >> that's right. >> the state department says you're getting the same pay as before, but do you feel you're
11:43 pm
being punished for speaking out? >> yes, i feel that i have been punished. i don't know why i was punished. i don't know why i was shunted aside. put in a closet, if you will. >> kimberly, when it comes to prosecuting this case, is -- does the trail just go cold and just hope it goes away? or somebody like gregory hicks can keep it on the front burner to try to get some answers? >> i think he can if he's brave and has enough recall and information to be able to, you know, keep it alive and put it forward. i think what he says is true. they were hoping this would be enough of a deterrence for anyone else to come forward. see how we punish? if you try and go against us -- and the reason why he was cast aside is because he wouldn't engage in the lies and deceptions that they had susan rice and others go out and do. if obama wants to know why he's having a hard time, it's because he lost so much credibility with the lies, the lack of justice and focus on the lack of
11:44 pm
american lives with benghazi. and now they have the audacity to have susan rice, parade around this week, the same person who die elied to the ame people, try to sell a war in syria, good luck. >> that was well said. eric, want to weigh in on benghazi? >> yes, look, i'm very much against a syrian attack. the difference, people say what about benghazi. there's a huge difference. i'm not anti-war. i think we have the greatest, strongest military in the world. we should use it when american interests are attacked, like they were in benghazi. i've said it before. when we're attacked, we don't retreat, we reload. i would do the same thing here. look to find these people. it was a year ago. enough time. we know who they are. let's go get them. syria's a different thing for me. but benghazi's important too. >> do you think the administration feels any obligation to answer some of these questions that have remained elusive? >> i think as usual people are trying to guess what they're doing or not doing. have no idea what they're doing on the ground there
11:45 pm
investigating the cases. the other thing i like to point out with all this outrage about benghazi around this table, 66 american diplomats were killed by terrorists since 1977. a handful were brought to justice. what do you say about them? why don't you bring them forward? >> i say -- >> -- 22 hearings -- >> i say if you're against benghazi, you're a coward and should be ashamed. >> fine, i'm a coward. 66 diplomats have died at the hands of terrorists. we haven't done anything. what happened with them? >> guess what, one is too many. they should all matter. >> nobody ever mentioned it. >> you think we should move on about benghazi but attack syria? do you know -- >> you would be a coward if you didn't believe that. >> why is that hypocritical? those are apples and oranges. >> the apples are the ones we're supposed to protect. and go after. >> it wasn't the libyan government that killed the people in benghazi. >> let's go after the people who did. >> how do you know we're not? >> a year later, nothing. >> i'm fairly sure.
11:46 pm
>> you're fairly sure? >> he's not in custody. >> if i don't hit the eject button, we're not going to have time for bob's block. we're going to talk about if there's anything president obama can say tonight in his interviews that will change public opinion on syria.
11:47 pm
11:48 pm
11:49 pm
11:50 pm
sorry, folks, little discussion back here. welcome back to "the five." president obama sat down with fox news. you can see it all coming up. he's also sitting down with five other networks. let's talk about what he needs to say tomorrow to convince the american people to back his plans. from my standpoint, he needs to have convincing evidence, use the video of the children being killed and dying from chemical weapons to show no question it was done by asaud and his government and that that cannot be allowed to happen. otherwise other people will use it and the united states has a responsibility to take it out and it's not a state of war. >> i agree with you.
