2:00 pm
>> i'm kimberly guilfoyle. it's 5:00 o'clock in new york city and this is "the five". >> new comments from president obama this afternoon on syria. >> any agreement needs to be verifiable and enforceable. ultimately what's needed for the underlying conflict is a political settlement that allows ordinary syrians to get back to their homes, to rebuild and to relieve the enormous suffering that's taking place. >> the remarks come as trust in the government to solve
2:01 pm
america's problems hits a new low. new gallup poll shows less than half the country has confidence in the obama administration's ability to handle international and domestic issues. commentators feel that's true this week after the president's mishandling of the syria situation. >> whether there is a developing idea that the president not so good at foreign policy, number one. number two, whether this whole syrian crisis will just take more air out of whatever leverage he has for the future of his administration. >> these are the fruits of a completely incompetent, epically incompetent foreign policy, diplomacy by obama. >> if you're a supporter of the president, you should be critical of him. you're not doing him any favors by just sitting silently when he's screwing things up. >> most americans are realizing, finally realizing this country is losing power on almost all fronts. if that trend is not arrested and soon, that will be barak obama's legacy.
2:02 pm
>> ominous words from a great leader. bill o'reilly. >> oh, my gosh. [ laughter ] >> greg can't handle it. >> i'm going to throw up. >> please, not 'til after 6:00 o'clock. >> the poll you put up was gallup and they called it trust, america's trust in i guess president obama. we call it leadership. remember when president reagan, a real said, mr. gore chef, tear -- gorbachev, tear down the wall. russia went through decades on their heels. their economy struggled, military starved. in the dog house. enter putin who brings them back. meanwhile, we get president obama who puts us in a redistribution economy and you have one economy growing, one people getting stronger and the other one doing the opposite. leadership, i should just stop because the picture says 1,000 words. here is -- watch. which one?
2:03 pm
which one do you want leading your country? >> i'm going with the bike. [ laughter ] >> you like the shirtless guy. >> holding the rifle. which one is more -- what's the pretend photo? >> greg lost his shirt and he'll be wandering in the wilderness in case you're interested. oh, my goodness. all right. so dana. let's talk about this. this is a cause of concern for many americans because they're worried about how we are looking in the world. are people worried about our president taking some action? no. are they going to say listen, the guy who is making moves, that's determining the course of events here and in the middle east is putin. >> well, i think that america looks at this more in sadness than in anger in a lot of ways because it has been embarrassing. but you also -- it's one of those things where you don't want to admit it's embarrassing and you want to say yes, absolutely, this is the plan, this is the diplomatic route we're going to take and the president, we're behind you. a lot of people would like to be able to get to that place.
2:04 pm
but unfortunately, the administration continues to give you reasons, even if you want to help them, they have to say ridiculous things about their opponents on every issue right after they caused an international embarrassment for the last two weeks. >> all right. greg, comments? >> i think it's a mistake, however, to think this is unintended. this is president obama's greatest achievement, which he predicted, to bring america down a notch. remember, america as an exceptional being was the problem. in a way, president obama was like babe ruth. he got up and he pointed to the fence and he said, we're going to strike out. and he did. the problem is, his failure is now ours. he has spread failure around, just like our wealth. we've all had our fair share of failure. it sucks! now we have the iran, syria, it reveals the truth that the absence of good gives consents to evil. >> profound.
2:05 pm
>> did he point to center field and say i'm gog strike out or did he say we're going to tie? >> we're going to walk. >> we're going to walk. >> let's get juan williams in here. i hope you can bring amazing points to this discussion. >> i was just listening in wonder. to me, the american people have been very clear. they don't want military action here. so if you have a president that says, oh, let's go do it anyway, i think people would say, i didn't feel that was right. okay. but to greg's point, i think that the president has meandered. he hasn't had a clear policy. it borders on incoherent to the casual viewer, the people following the news on "the five" and i think that's why it opens him to his critics. do i think it's evidence of some kind of mal feesance or evidence that america is losing power? no. america is the most powerful country in the world. >> you're only as good as your commander in chief. >> let me finish. what if putin says, oh, yeah, i'm going to take you guys on.
2:06 pm
>> he did. >> he would be the biggest fool in the world. >> he's taken us on. >> he is not. >> we have a leadership vacuum. president obama is my president. i want him to do well. i don't want this to be an embarrassment where it looks completely mishandled. then i'm looking to carney to see what he has to say. he's a carney. >> arnie evil. -- carney evil. >> commander in chief, i think that the american people, at least in my assessment, appreciate the commander in chief who takes in new information and doesn't, you know, celebrate decisiveness for the sake of decisiveness. >> goodness. >> what? is there a vitamin? >> this is what they do best. swipes at the former president. even if the former president's entire national security apparatus was trying to help them last week. they can't stop.
2:07 pm
they have to take a swipe. what they're referring to is sometime in the rose garden, president bush was asked a question by a reporter. he used to take questions from reporters in the white house. and somebody asked him about why haven't you done this? why haven't you done that? he said, because i'm the decider. and so that's what the swipe is. they don't like decisiveness because we actually -- they want us to look smaller than we are. >> oh, stop, stop. >> yes. >> you know what -- >> let me just say you, my friend, are taking now a swipe at obama. but i want to take a moment of praise for president bush. >> i am backing up obama the last two weeks. >> wait, wait. i think that president obama and his team have -- i'm sorry. president bush and his team have been very supportive of what is the right action here, which is defending the united states in terms of saying no to the use of chemical weapons and signaling no to irrelevant reason, north korea, and to al-qaeda. >> because they want america to be strong. i think america -- i don't think america gets stronger when you
2:08 pm
have, from the white house podium, it's supposed to represent all americans, swipes at a former president who actually is trying to help you. >> i know -- >> i know it's your former boss. but let's rise above pettiness. >> oh, boy. did anybody ever actually have the decency to say something like that when we were there? >> of course people would. >> no. it was all partisan politics all the time, from the other side. and from the white house -- >> i don't know about all the other side. but i am not anti-bush. so that's just not fair to say. >> i didn't say you were. >> okay. >> i know you are, but what am i? you have to a quick comment? i want you to take a cruise with me next. [ laughter ] >> i have no idea what that is. >> have reason to fear when americans focus on our principles and focus on exceptionalism because it's been american exceptionalism that stood up to the nazis and stopped the murder from the nazis and it was american exceptionalism that stood up to the soviet union and freed hundreds of millions from behind the iron curtain. so putin is right to be
2:09 pm
concerned about american exceptionalism. >> he walk at that -- you talk about this. >> there is an ideology that comes from the teachers lounge that says goliath must be defeated by david and the united states is the goliath. but we must either be dwighted or become david without the sling shot. president obama is building a case for republican presidency that the republicans never could have done on their own. it's as if karl rove is wearing an obama mask and wearing it himself. the shrinking stature is making way for the scary adult. the reagan that came after carter. right? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. look, for decades, the grownups were running the gop. we're running washington. the people like me, the far right, used to be called fringe, i guess we're considered fringe, but the grownups have grown old. they're clinging to the notion that you can carpet bomb people into believing your way of -- the way the world should be.
2:10 pm
what we really need to do is recognize globalization is happening. economic globalization is happening. ask china, brazil, singapore. while we're looking at what we're going to bomb next, they're figuring out who they're going to sell to next and they're starting to eat our lunch and we neat to refocus our efforts on the economy. when we do that and stop worrying about whether or not we should be going to syria, which we shouldn't, figure out -- create some jobs instead. >> you just want to give hugs and jobs. >> look at ted cruz and you go, look, here is a smart guy. harvard educated, young, conservative, far right guy who probably doesn't want to go to war either. that's the new blood in the gop. i love that. i embrace that. >> wait, wait. you can embrace rand paul for saying i have a libertarian posse. i think there are lots of young people, obama base, attracted to that base coming from a republican. but when you hear ted cruz going
2:11 pm
after the president in this way, i just think -- if it's the far right now has become so isolationist because they hate obama so much that they're actually going to hurt american's vital interest -- >> it's not a personal hate. >> how is it fair for ted cruz to be saying these things? >> i would say the far right hates big government and redistributing wealth. they'd like to see a smaller government, smaller tax. get out of our bedroom and businesses. let us thrive and prosper the way we have for 230 years. >> that's fine, but you can't ignore an international crisis. >> i think -- i think there is a middle ground here between two. the right has to be able to exert might or the wrong will sing the song. i made that up. the point is, america is a good force in the world. when that force goes away, there are people that will fill that void and they're not going to be as good as we are. as much as i would like to be on libertarian island and i often
2:12 pm
am, the only way you can be there is to be willing to kill for it. >> right, you have to stand up at some point, don't you, eric? >> i don't know. i think greg is taking the establishment out for a spin. i'll be there saying, come on back on board. i think the world -- look -- >> he's trying to bully you. school yard bullying by eric bolling. >> look how big china is getting and brazil. you don't hear about their armies growing and lining up their tanks and looking to attack anyone. they're doing it the smart way. they're doing it economically. >> china certainly is building up its military. >> so should we. i think we should build up even more. i also think -- reality is that the world will come to us, even if we don't want to be out there. and so if you look at the front page of the "washington post" today, india, pakistan, border
2:13 pm
fight. many fear u.s. pullout will encourage terrorism. if we're going to do that, we had better figure out a way to become energy independent and quickly. >> i want to bring this up, u.s. enemies, are they emboldened by all this? what we're talking about here today, when you look at what's going on across the world, al-qaeda chief calls for new attacks on the u.s. u.s. consulate in afghanistan attacked. north korea restarts their nuclear reactor. iran, threatens retaliation if the u.s. strikes syria and assad demands u.s. stop arming rebels or he would not turn over the chemical weapons. doesn't sound like anybody is afraid. >> when you put those things all together, you sense america is missing a sense of strength and will. somehow we've fallen into a slumber in the government crib because we're getting -- the baby is being fed and the baby doesn't care. that's what i worry about is that the american public has become satisfied with the free stuff that they get and not to care about what's happening overseas and pretty soon we're going to be devoured by these
2:14 pm
young aggressive countries. the only things that will be left are these frigid eyeballs on our skeleton who saw it coming, but didn't care. >> can i push back? who is going to devour us? >> well, we need to -- we always need to be diligent about terrorism. if iran gets a nuclear arms, that's a problem. russia arming syria. >> i'm not sure iran likes us any more than king king ruin. >> he like -- kim jong-un. >> there is chemical weapons out there. i'm for strong military. >> every president has these crises. you go back, eric saying reagan is a strong leader. he was, but guess what happened to the marine bakes in beirut? these crises happen. >> and fear. a healthy amount of fear. >> okay. you can fear him. he had the peace keeper, you can talk in those terms, but you act as if -- america is as strong as
2:15 pm
ever. >> juan, the point is this is what president obama wanted. he had a fundamental disdain for exceptional exceptionalism and he felt it was time for america to pull back. not that he thought we were being too angry. he just doesn't like a large successful country. he wants a european democracy. am i right? no? [ laughter ] >> eric? >> look, i think i'm going to leave it there. we absolutely have to have a strong military. but not aggressive and seeking conflicts that aren't ours. >> amen. >> again, the reality is our commitment to israel and do we keep it or not? i say we keep it. but then you have to get to the practical reality of how do you do that going forward? >> strengthening israel. >> no, we have to protect israel. what are you talking about? >> i said strengthening israel.
2:16 pm
you can be supportive. you can supply technology, arms to israel without attacking iran or syria. >> if somebody attacks israel, you think we're gog sit here? he point. syria hasn't attacked any of our allies or american interests. >> juan just got hands on. [ laughter ] okay. directly ahead, who is doing better in obama's economy? rich people or poor people? some surprising new statistics you probably won't hear about from the main street media any last requests mr. baldwin? do you mind grabbing my phone and opening the capital one purchase eraser? i need to redeem some venture miles before my demise. okay. it's easy to erase any recent travel expense i want.

2008 soon to be president barak obama promise to do fundamentally transform america and as promised, he's overseen the largest redistribution of american wealth in american program and welfare, obama phones and food stamps have increased, yet poverty sits at a decade high 19.9% -- 15.9%.
2:21 pm
the rich have gotten richer and the middle class is home to the fastest growing sector of the economy when it comes to poverty. but remember the class warfare lectures he delivered ad nasa yum? >> down economics never works. the country doesn't succeed when only the rich get richer. we succeed when the middle class gets bigger. when more people have a chance to get ahead, more people have a chance to live up to their god-given potential. >> obama now has failed the middle class. check out these numbers. the a.p. says best times for the 1% since the 20s. "wall street journal" says some 95% of 2009 to 2012 income gains went to the wealthiest 1%. why does president obama dislike the middle class so much? >> i don't know. it's not a good relationship. counseling can't save it! listen, the problem is he feels
2:22 pm
like he has to, i think, pander to his base, the people he feels are supporting him. he doesn't understand he's ultimately hurting all of us, all americans when he engages in this kind of -- i guess a business where he's not worried about creating the jobs. he's putting forward, for example, look, obamacare. this is going to get much worse 'cause now we'll have a nation of part-time, low income workers with very little job security. how is that going to stabilize the economy? how is that going to bring new cash flow and stimulate the economy like we need it to? i don't think it's going to. it's a problem. >> they point out that a lot of the gains over the last four years went to the top 1%. the people in the lowest levels, poverty people, aren't getting out of poverty. the middle class is moving into poverty and the only one benefitting under the obama economy are the top 1%. >> right. i guess if i were in the white house, i think the national economic council people are probably asking themselves, okay. what is the root cause of the problem?
2:23 pm
i think with all good intentions, they believed their policies are working. they want a green economy and they think that's going to work. but i think the greater economic freedom is really the only answer. time and again, america learns this lesson that the best way to do it is to let people spend the money they earn to invest it back into the economy. but education also, when it comes to the jobs that america used to be competitive in the world, that is also another huge problem. john taylor at the sanford hoover institute, when he wrote about it, it opened my eyes. i don't know what i would tell a young person today, except i would say, you need to be a person of the world. a lot of math and science. you also have to be willing to take risk. risk is -- people are getting more and more risk averse because they have the government to fall back on. >> they don't need to take it. >> that's very true. >> the occupy wall street, remember that 1%, they hated the 1%? look what's going on under
2:24 pm
president obama? >> truly is the best friend of the 1 percenters. it's not just the rich that got richer, the government has also. they collected more taxes in history. they're greedier than kimberly at a shoe store. it is nuts. the rich got richer, but the richer is swelling and getting larger. by the way, i don't think it's going to get any better because we can still sink lower, as long as president obama rejects keystone and demonizes fracking, our demise will keep going. he's like the nutra system of politicians. he's cut our economy by 40%. >> this is the most amazing conversation. i feel like this is alice in wonderland. i don't know how you guys can turn this on its head. >> who am i? >> mad hatter. it seems to me, unbelievable that you guys ignore the reality the rich have gotten much richer and there was a terrible economic collapse when this president came in and guess what, the president is the one who has been standing up and
2:25 pm
saying, you know what? the rich should pay more in terms of taxes in this society in order to -- >> that's the point. >> and wall street -- is wall street protesting against president obama? >> 15.9% in america. poverty in america, the highest in four decades. >> yeah, that's all because of the president's policies? >> do you honestly believe that would change if all of a sudden there were higher taxes? >> no, no. >> but that's the crux of the argument. >> if young people had the opportunity to succeed in this country, and instead, the rich are taking all the money. >> the ladder has become a water slide. obamacare goes live in a couple weeks. president obama meeting behind closed doors with union leaders just moments ago at the white house. will he cut them yet another sweetheart deal? next on "the five".

>> in just over two weeks, the most important part of oakey's pet funeral home & crematory kicks in when -- obamacare kicks in. unions are seeking exemptions to the very law they once championed. organized labor champions met with obama earlier today where the health care law was the topic. look at how the views of one of those leaders, richard trumka, has changed since the law passed. >> we made a difference in this fight and because of that, we're about to take an historic step towards our goal of providing quality health care to every american. this bill is a great step forward. it's going to give us long-term
2:31 pm
security. >> we've been working with the administration to find solutions to what i think are inadvertent holes in the act. when the act was put together, it wasn't thought completely through. >> inadvertent? i don't think so. what i found out today, apparently the unions were told early on that continue to support it and this would be fixed for them. they just left the white house which they declined to make a statement. you never met a labor guy who declined to get in front of a camera. >> you got to love richie trumka. the earlier sound bite, they literally spent millions of dollars to make sure obamacare got through. today, or was it yesterday, he also said today that he's highly troubled by obamacare. are you kidding me? they pushed it. they got it through. they spent the money to get it. now they don't like it. like the rest of us. >> what do you think, greg, about this? >> turn about is fair play, dana. >> i heard that before. >> what's interesting about the administration, to insure
2:32 pm
survival of the landmark achievement of obamacare, you have to promise everybody that they don't have to have it. it's like a against attorney telling its client to take the deal 'cause you won't actually do the time. what does this say about obamacare? it's like the only people who support it are the people who don't have to endure it while the rest of us go through hell with it. it's just unfair! dana, unfair! >> one of the things -- it's unfair. juan, one of the things that the unions said they want to do is they want to double dip. they want the employer contribution and they want to get the subsidies and looks like the white house -- i think they're going to be hard pressed to try to carve out unions from this. what do you think? >> i agree with you. >> you really think they're not going to? >> i don't think they can do it. i just think it's too big a carveout and i think it feeds into the kind of opposition to obamacare that is so rampant on the right. >> and on the rise, by the way. >> what the unions have said is they're not interested in the right wing agenda, which is
2:33 pm
repeal obamacare. they just want to fix this so that they get benefits. because what they're worried about to get back to our last segment with eric, is they're worried they're losing out in terms of benefit packages and the like in the midst of this recession to middle class shrinking and the union people who do have jobs are getting less in terms of those health care benefits and now they want to take advantage of the subsidies that exist for poor people. >> what makes them so special? the more they're able to squeeze out of obama by telling him how upset they are with him, it will be out of the pockets of middle class americans. that's what i find -- what makes them so special that they should be treated differently than the rest of america? >> i hear my pal greg -- obamacare is not going to make one difference in your life. >> that doesn't matter 'cause i've a selfless person, juan, and i care about the little people. why can't all of us do this? why can't we all exempt ourselves from specific parts of the administration's disasters? why can't i say, you know
2:34 pm
what -- >> what disaster? giving insurance to people who don't have insurance? >> here is what they're arguing. they don't want to pay the tax on the cadillac. >> exactly -- >> benefits they were getting. we pointed it out that this would happen a year, two years ago, three -- it's been three years now. >> they weren't listening. >> but no. they were listening. they knew this. they pushed it through 'cause they wanted to push it through t through. >> and they were told they would get a fix. >> they were told they were getting it fixed. now they're coming back and saying, remember when you promised us this fix? >> it's getting late. i do think there is a possible legislative solution to this and congressman blackburn of tennessee has been pushing for a delay for one year and it seems -- that was gaining a little steam. but thousand the unions are ready for the delay because they want the fix, so maybe we will have a reprieve for a year where everybody has breathing year. there is pros and con. >> it's like a rain'9@ t eventually it's going to stop and then what?
2:35 pm
obamacare still is going to suck. [ laughter ] >> isn't this completely, juan -- this is such a liberal maneuver, such a liberal maneuver. i support abortion, but don't abort me. oj< abort you? i want to love you up. >> ahüu$e five," tom hanks reports for jury duty. but the trial came to an abrupt end after one of the prosecutors tried to talk to him. that led to a miscarriage of justice. we're going to tell you why coming up. at aarp.org/possibilities.

♪ tuesday i told you about the disgusting murder of jeffrey babbitt, decked by a racist coward looking for a white person to punch. i asked if the press would cover this story the same way it had for other certain race-tinged stories. i should have kept my mouth shut. "new york times" devoted 1,000 words to martin reddic, aka, racist dirt bag. they cite his troubled background and his struggle with mental illness. let me get this straight, when a white man acts racist, he's obviously racist, but a black racist, mentally ill. total double standard, the times at its best. how is this guy on street with his long history of violence? he's been in and out of jail many times. he's been a threat to citizens
2:41 pm
with 20 run ins with cops and there he was, free to kill on union square. why is that? his last punch is about race, but also a cowardly culture that's given up its will to punish. like refusing to hear allah akbar before a jihaddist kills 13 people. we block out the actual message the killer delivers because it's so damn uncomfortsable. here is what the killer said after he killed poor jeffrey babbitt and left jeffrey's mother suffering from alzheimer's without a care giver. he said, you think i'm afraid of these charges? i punched a police officer in newburg in front of a crowd of people and all his colleagues and i was out of jail in 168 hours. he said that. so how come when evil speaks, we don't listen? >> the "new york times" listens. >> we'll give this to eric. "new york times" did a long piece on the victim, but then they ruined it by the next day, they felt like oh, well, their version of fair and balanced is to do something on the victim and then do the same amount on
2:42 pm
the killer and blame his crimes on mental illness. >> he is schizophrenic. >> he says he doesn't like white people! >> no, no. he said -- >> where is that? >> he punched black people, he's punched white people. he's punched hispanic people. he was just arrested in harlem for not only hitting a woman, but spitting in her face! >> so this is a defense? >> no, no, no! >> he hates everybody. >> yeah. >> equal opportunity hater. >> believe me, black people hit black people. >> wait, wait. >> look, i don't know if all the white people at the able are fearful of black people. i'm not going to hit anybody. what is going on here? this is nutty! i think you guys ignore history. if you want to say oh, gee, the history of racial crime is mostly black on white in this country? come on. >> well, lately -- what's the biggest -- it's black on black.
2:43 pm
correct? >> by far. white on white, black on black. hispanic on hispanic. >> how does the media treat those factions of crime in the media? >> i wish they paid more attention to black on black, i tell you that, 'cause right now, one of my pet peeves, they pay a lot of attention to trayvon martin when they think it's white on black. but when it's black on black, which is far more of a threat, oh, it doesn't exist! >> you can make that point and i think you're accurate about that, but we can also make this point to say that it's a shame because these type of stories are treated much differently in the media. that is also true. >> it should be treated differently. i think there is a history, a pattern of racial crime that's not black on white in america. if you wanted to look at the historical record, i this it's the other way -- >> the ratio is much higher for black on white than white on black. >> no, no. you're talking about i think, in all honesty, i think what you're talking about is poor people and people who are more often in jail and have criminal backgrounds, there is more

[ laughter ] >> we're good. >> how is the guy on the streets? tell me that! he's been in and out of jail. >> he shouldn't be. the problem is it's a revolving door. you have people that aren't treated properly in the criminal justice system. they go back out, reoffend and he's laughing, mocking the whole system, saying he punched a cop, i about 168 hours, i was out. come on, give me more people to punch or spit on. he's a predator. he should be behind bars. >> there is a fund to help the mother, and if people want to look that up, they can give that to her. >> we have to find out if the fund is real. >> coming up, how actor tom

him and that how impressed everyone is that such a celebrity would still be here serving jury duty. so she in essence was being a little star struck and nice, but as i already heard two minutes ago, it's an absolute, 100% no-no and should never have happened. >> that comes down to, kimberly, jury tampering. this guy, who was up for this domestic violence charge and could have gone to jail for a year, now all of a sudden he gets a fine of 150 bucks and he's on the streets. >> they had to do that because when the allegation was made and confirmed that she went up to tom hanks, she didn't mean anything about it, but this was part of a volunteer program by the city attorney's office. there has been some critics about it. they need appropriate handling,
2:51 pm
but that is a pretty basic thing. you do not go up and talk to the jurors. that would be a no-no in every way, shape or form. now, for example, in manhattan, tom hanks wouldn't have to go to jury duty because if you sign up for jury appreciation, do a special program, you don't have to serve because it causes a problem. it 'causes interference with the administration of justice. that's all i have to say. >> what law school did she go school? >> fresh out of law school. let me ask you, when you go on jury duty, do the lawyers take you? >> can i pass on that question? >> why? >> 'cause i haven't been called for jury duty. [ laughter ] >> i get called for jury duty regularly. i'm going to tell you, the lawyers never take me because they say, you're going to be too influential. >> why? >> 'cause they think i'm well-known. >> soft on crime. >> oh, yeah.

>> yeah. are you the juan williams? >> all right, all right. i give up. what about you? >> i always thought jury duty was something you found in a courthouse bathroom. >> oh, my god. [ laughter ] >> the only time i went to jury duty that they dismissed me when they found out i worked at fox news. >> seriously? >> the guy says, i know you. and then when it was like -- i was getting up to leave, he said don't come back. then i just sat outside for a couple of hours. >> sold some copies of your book? >> exactly. >> i served once and it was a domestic violence case. the young prosecutor screwed up the case. >> tha kimberly's points, you should know what you're doing. >> you really should. >> allall right. one more thing up next. hang with us i'm beth... and i'm michelle. and we own the paper cottage. it's a stationery and gifts store.
