fbn, with chicken, if you have it. good night. hello, everyone. i'm greg gutfield along with kimberly guilfoyle, bob beckel, and he once wrote a cookbook for the easy bake oven, dana perino. this is "the five." just a light bulb, kimberly. yesterday in an interview with fox news host and my squash partner bill o'reilly, president obama slapped fox news for covering things like the irs and obamacare. >> bill, you have a long list of my mistakes. they believe it because folks like you are telling them that. these kinds of things keep surfacing, in part because you and your tv station will promote them. >> now, blaming fox news for obama's scandals is like blaming

rubble for an earthquake. fnc did not create obamacare or target enemies for investigations. fnc just asked about the bruising. to use a football metaphor, fnc is that sole remaining cheerleader who won't end up underneath the bleachers with the qb. we're not like the other msn fl floozies. if you like the president, his evasiveness will irk you. if you like o'reilly, you'll think the president is rude. but if you're like me, you're like, why is this part of the super bowl? i don't want politics on this day. maybe it's because i get it every day of my life. if i were the president, i would do nothing but eat nachos and break wind, in that order. i don't like the steak touching my potatoes. i'm the same with sports and politics, no mixing. and i if i want to see older men puffing their chests, the red hot chili peppers were at half

time, shirtless. gross. i do have one gripe. >> there are risks if you have that for small cells of folks trying to do damage. what happens is you have an attack like this taking place, and you have a mix of folks who are just trouble makers. you have folks who have an idealogical agenda. >> folks, folks, folks. when we now refer to terrorists as folks, it's time to retire the word. the nice couple who run the hardware store, they're folks. terrorists. they're murderous a-holes. let's keep that separate, too. k.g., sorry. i'm so tired of hearing the word folks applied to everything. i don't even know any folks. >> ban it. you're the king of the universe anyway. >> i banned it months ago. no one listens to me. >> i'm still traumatized by the naked thing. >> what did you make of the interview? >> i thought it was a very good interview. i wasn't expecting it to be as hard hitting since the hard hits

are supposed to come during the game. i'm wondering if the president's people are thinking the advisibility of sitting down with bill o'reilly who was well prepared, knee what he wanted t. i'm happy for him, happy for fox. i don't think it was a great interview for the reds, but i'm glad he did it and sat down with him and he should come and do interviews with fox more often and answer the questions. it would make him a better man and a better president. gr bob, do you think interviews like this change minds? >> folks, let me tell you, no, i don't. and i agree with you. i don't understand why we have to have a political interview before the super bowl. i mean, one day off would be just fine. have the interview the next day. i think o'reilly did a nice job. i think obama did a better job than you people think, but folks, that the wayio do it on super bowl sunday. >> the argument for having him on super bowl sunday is you get 100 million people who see him who normally don't?

>> nbc loved it the first toom, and then cbs, and then fox, and everyone is going to take the interview. here's how it goes down. i have done a couple of these, clear lly not to that caliber. you tell you how many minutes you're going to get, the camera angles. he likely mapped out his strategy. when dana asked me on friday, what would you do, it was almost the same map. it was the same map. >> he stole your idea? >> no, it was the obvious map. the one every american wanted to hear. let him take his victory lap on health care and start in on the scandals, starting with benghazi and then go to the irs. o'reilly has to keep him on topic, on the map, and not let him filibuster. obama likes to talk in more than one sentences at a time, so you have to nudge him along the way. i think bill did a great job. i think going after him a couple tykes on sebelius, going back to him rebutting some of the thicks he said, is not an easy thing to do. obama is compelling.

bill is trying to stop where he things he has it tied up. to go back after it, o'reilly did a masterful job doing that. tough job, but he did a good job with it. >> dana, do you blame president obama for targeting fnc, or is the the only network other than jake tapper at cnn asking such questions? >> the best defense is a good offense. he doesn't have the answers for all of the questions that president o'reilly -- that has a certain ring to it, that bill o'reilly threw out to president obama. i didn't mean to throw things off there. i had a vision, and it came to me. but like the broncos, president obama didn't move the ball at all. because one of the reasons you would want to do this interview right after the state of the union is because you have presumably announced some big program or new policy, or you have something you want to convince the american people that you want them to follow you on because you want to lead them to a certain place.

there was nothing in the state of the union that rose to that level that president obama could talk about in that interview with bill o'reilly, almost said bill orilea again. president bush only did one of those interviews, it was in 2004 with jim nance. i do wish the president did more interviews. i think the white house press corps has not asked enough tough questions so you get to this point where there are all these questions that build up into one ten-minute interview, and i know there will be more comments tonight because there were some things that didn't air last night that you want the president to talk about, such a the keystone pipeline. >> kg, i want to play a spot for you, obama on his fumbles. >> play away. >> you were very generous in saying i looked pretty good considering i have been in the pres dnlsy five years and part of the reason is i try to focus not on the fumbles but on the next play. >> you think that's a wise strategy? shouldn't he figure out why he's fumbling? >> he doesn't really care.

he's trying to move it forward. as long as he feels like he's moving the ball down the field, he's okay. with each passing hour, moment, day, he's running out of time to afeck wack crewate all thesidea. if he want to be a complete person, he should focus on why things go wrong, but he really doesn't have time for that. >> the idea for the fumbles -- >> and he's got to focus on everything else he wants to get in. >> why go back and go over it again? i think it's exactly right. you look down the road. when eric says everybody in america is concerned about benghazi, they are not. i mean, i know we have gone over the subject over and over and over again, and i will guarantee you it's not go to be a voting issue. >> it will be, because hillary will be running. it will be brought up. >> let's put it this way, when

you ask bill o'reilly's faithful audience what are the most important things to ask obama, i guarantee it's benghazi, irs, and obamacare. >> but that's republicans. >> we don't just have republican viewers, sorry. >> my audience is concerned about this, and maybe you should be, too. his audience is x-million people when he has 115 million on the hook, maybe bill turned 5 million or 10 million over to start watching fox news on occasion. i think it's a brilliant strategy. it's great. >> all right -- >> we're the winners. >> yes. let's play this obama shot on when he's talking about the irs. >> i got to get to the irs. what some people are saying is that the irs was used at a local level in cincinnati and maybe other places to go -- >> absolutely wrong. >> you're saying no corruption, none? >> there were some bone-head decisions. >> bone-head decisions but no mass corruption. >> not even mass corruption. not even a smidgen of

corruption. >> okay. >> like the use of the word smidgen. not used enough in the american language. >> you don't take that personally, do you? >> that was unnecessary. >> it's monday. >> i'm a smidgen of a human being. he uses the idea it's incompetence and not corruption. is that okay? >> there's so much incompetence they keep fumbling the ball. with all of these things i would have tried to position to the question this question, which is if benghazi is not a scandal, could you explain to the american people and put this to bed. why did you blame the video? if the irs is not at all a problem, why did you call a live news press conference at 6:00 p.m. in the east room to say you're outraged about it and you had to admit that your staff was so concerned about the possible corruption that they never told you about it? those are things that are festering that the white house hasn't answered and maybe they never will, but that doesn't mean that the american people are going to stop thinking about them.

>> you know, o'reilly kind of pressed him on it, the video, the video. and obama then did something i found really egregious. if you listen to the tape, he said the next day i called it an act of terror. i didn't call it a terrorist act, which is a semantics thing. and then he said within one week, i was calling it a terrorist act, which was a lie. it was not within a week, because we have september 20th when he was on univision, he said we didn't have enough information. september 24th, he was on the view saying we don't know what it was. and hold on. september 25th, two weeks afterwards, president obama said we don't have enough information, and that was at the u.n. podium speaking to the world. >> can you explain to me why it is with all these things you talk about, the irs, benghazi, congress has held 10, 20, 30, 40 hearings. there is not a corruption in the irs. there's a lot of bad -- as he said, bone-headed decisions. you don't call corrupt. prove it. >> why can't you do anything to

change bone-headed decision making? if it's happening everywhere from health and human services to the irs, why isn't anybody held accountable for that? >> if you don't get caught, it's corruption. if you get caught, it's incompetence. >> that's how it works? >> that's a football made out of bread. i was at a bar, and the guy, he was in tribeca, and they were making sandwiches. the sandwich was a football. >> is it still soft or it's hard and you can't eat it? >> it's perfect sized. >> so cute. >> do you want to hear the hillary tweet. she tweeted. this is what she wrote. she said so much fun to watch fox when it's someone else being blitzed and sacked. #super bowl. >> presumably, she meant the broncos and not obama, right? >> i have no idea. >> kind of funny. >> twitter is going -- if presidents are going to start doing their own -- presidentialal candidates are going to do their own twitter,

we're dummying down the presidency. >> she might have said it and then somebody said, hey, that's funny. i'll tweet it for you. >> it's funny in your family room when you're watching the game. it's not funny to the country. >> oh, okay. >> okay. arbiter of what's funny on twitter. dana perino. >> i was hilarious on twitter. >> if it was attached to a dog photo, you would have said genius. >> it works every time. >> when we come back, more from the shootout with president obama. not sure shootout is the appropriate term. next on "the five."

i thought kimberly would start dancing to the music. welcome back to "the five." continuing with our analysis of bill o'reilly's exclusive interview with president obama at the white house yesterday. we didn't really get a chance to talk about the why of the year

and the consequences of it. he asked why kathleen sebelius, the secretary of hhs, is still in her job. >> why didn't you fire sebelius, the secretary in charge of this? >> my main priority is making sure it delivers for the american people. >> i'm sure that the intent is noble, but i'm a taxpayer and i'm paying kathleen sebelius' salary and she screwed up and you're not holding her accountable. >> i promise you we hold everybody up and down the line accountable. >> american share holders were watching their ceo last night. if you're a share holder, you satisfied with the answer? >> you're fired. kathleen sebelius, she deserved -- i think she thd have been fired immediately when healthcare.gov, which they had to have up and running on october 1st, they couldn't have waited, when they realized there were glitches in the system. that's not accountability. the problem is president obama has never run anything. he's never run a business, never been the governor of a state. all he had done had been a

community organizer or a senator. has he ever fired anybody? >> interestingly, though, sebelius was a governor. he does have people in the cabinet who could have at least helped not make this as big a disaster as it was. >> fired a lot of workers in america, that's for sure. >> sight unseen with a pink slip. let me go to one other thing because we want to get to chris christie in the latter half of this. let's talk about the big picture bill o'reilly asked president obama about a letter he looked add. >> i got a letter from cathy lumaster, fresno, california. i said i would read one letter from the folks. all right, mr. president, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success? >> i don't think we have to f d fundamentally transform it. >> but those are your words. >> we have make sure here in america if you work hard, you can get ahead. >> what do you make of that?

that's kind of the bigger question. apart from the scandals, the individual things, it the overall transformation. >> it's part of who he is, the idea america wasn't a great place until he fundmally made it a great place. america, thank god, is too big to fail, which is why he's trying to shrink it. >> i think it's a good tactic to read a letter. a lot of sighs, issues going on in this five, but it's kind of a good tactic from bill o'reilly's standpoint to take a letter from people he received all the time, and president obama gets letters all the time, i don't know which ones they show him, but do you think it was a good way to ask a question? >> masterful because you're bricking in people who have concerns. but he seems to not even remember those are his words, from his mouth, and he kind of sidestepped it, said, no, no,

aench everybody opportunity, if you work hard, you'll be okay. that's not what he was saying. he said this isn't a fair place, this country isn't fair. we're keeping other people down by choosing others to be raised up. he wants to fundamentally change the way we do business, socioeconomically, smipecifical in this country. >> we do that. the fact is, rich get richer, poor get poorer. >> he said you can get ahead with hard work. let the system do that. let it be an area where we have free market and capitalism. >> compared to what other system, bob? what other system is better? >> i love che and i love the camer rouge. i think where obama made a mistake, he uses letters a lot when he gives his speeches. he said i got a letter from so-and-so. and now o'reilly did to to him, and he wasn't quite repaired for it. >> president obama when he was senator obama, used those words

the week before he was elected, october 25th of 2008, we are about to fundamentally transform america, and we still elected him president, which is even more baffling. maybe that's the question. how could we elect a guy who promised a massive change -- >> sorry. >> they're wrapping. >> how much time do we have left? >> a smidgen. bob, you get to comment on chris christie because he had a tough weekend. >> he did have a tough weekend. i think there's some big, big questions to be answered. he can say what used to be a close friend of his is now a liar and a skunk and all that, and the "new york times" should not have gone with that. if in fact his lawyer is right and there's some e-mail or papers that say that christie was aware of these lane closures, he is gone. >> strangely, i bring you to my press conference. chris christie's office made a decision to go after the guy,

wildple ste wildsteen, who was resigning. >> the important point is he was his closest adviser. now he's the guy who claims there are links to chris christie, knowing. how could he not know the bridge was closed? please, he's my governor, i love the man, but the bridge, it's the biggest, most active bridge on the planet. it brings billions of dollarinize to new york and new jersey. you know when that thing is closed. you can't deny that. >> and on the media criticism point for the "new york times," look at the public editor comments the "new york times" posted today saying the niem"ne york times" was extremely sloppy in the way they handled it. to be continued. >> when we come back, we have extended footage you might not have seen from budweiser's ad about a military hero's homecoming, and bob and eric's big adventure to the super bowl. here's a peek. >> here it is. >> here it is. you know, this is like amazing

to me. i had no idea i was going to be go to the super bowl. >> how exciting is this? >> unbelievable. >> off the hook. >> more of their exciting night at the big game. that's ahead on "the five."

all right, well budweiser scored a touchdown with this heart warming super bowl ad about the emotional homecoming of a hero. chuck knab returning home from a tour in afghanistan. >> feels really good to be back. >> please join me in welcoming lieutenant chuck nab home.

>> well, an extended footage releashed online, some veterans shared why they felt to honor him the way themselves never experienced when they returned home. >> every once in a while, somebody will come up and say thank you, and it really means a lot because we didn't get it when we came home. >> when i got to my little small hometown in south carolina, there was nobody out there. >> i felt like i just got out of jail or something. i was disappointed about that. >> we didn't tell anybody we were in vietnam. and that's why -- >> it's for all of us. >> very emotional. you take a look at that online.

dana, your thoughts? >> so, lieutenant, i met two years ago at west point bought i had gone up to talk to the political science class and kept in touch with him. i didn't know he was going to be in the ad until saturday. he didn't know he was going to be part of an add ad. he thought he was going to speak. that's his girlfriend at the bottom of the escalator. she saw the possibility for the ability to turn in an application for her shoeoldier coming home in february could win it, she didn't expect to win it, but she did, and budweiser shows how the private sector can continue to help our soldiers even after they come home. >> in that commercial, were those vietnam veterans? >> it was a little bit, but they did a five-minute video. >> those are two distinct things. >> very emotional, very well done. i hope this lovely lady gets a proposal and a ring out of this. my gosh. >> she's really cute.

>> very quickly, from a marketing standpoint, budweiser nailed it. this is what america wants. it's america's game. they're watching a football game. this is what it's all about, right there. that's the heart and soul of america. >> greg? >> i think the message is great, which is gratitude. they should have done it without the bud logo. >> well, and i think the army might agree with you. >> right, probably. let's take a listen. eric, i wanted to get your reaction to this. coca-cola ad that a lot of people are talking about. ♪ beautiful for spacious skies ♪ >> okay, so here's what they're going for. they're going for that political correct america is a melting pot. america is a melting pot.

the problem here, and it's not even bad if you have the different cultures showing a song, showing it is a mix of different cultures, but don't put it to america the beautiful. you use the wrong song. you ticked off a lot of coke drinkers. you ticked off a lot of americans. i think what you could possibly, for whatever you gain in this diversity thing you're going for, coke, you blew it with a lot of people are very, very patriotic about that song. about that song. >> why? >> your buddy is upset. >> hey, bob, if they were singing a john cougar mellencamp song that had america in it and they went through a latin culture, an asian culture, a muslim culture, singing it in arabic, that would be fine. but it was america the beautiful. and there's a distinction with that, in my world. >> i would be very happy if every language in the world was singing america the beautiful, because that means we have people focused on the best country on earth in history, and it's not like we're trying to learn the iranian national

anthem, so i think it's a little overblown. i don't know if they knew they were going to cause a controversy, but i guess they probably did. >> i looked at it oza compliment to the united states. people know we're the best country in the world, which is why they want to come here. i agree with eric. i get tired of having multiculturalism sold to me as soda pop. that bothers me. however, i can't get outraged and i think sometimes this can be used as an outrage trap, to get people angry. i just let it go. >> i'll tell you outrage. i'm embroiled in a very difficult love triangle. i have tossed and turned about it all weekend. joe namath, me, bob, the chinchilla. take a look at this. friday on our super bowl special, there's broadway joe going in for the little woodpecker kiss. very excited. very youthful. and then -- >> he stayed there. >> he stayed there, let me tell you something. then he's like, what are you

doing saturday night? then good old ricky bobby. bob, your reaction. i said, am i going to be pregnant with a baby? look at bob's face. bob is not happy about this at all. >> i have always admired broadway joe, but joe, just stick with the girls from the play boy mansion. somebody -- the intellectual equivalent of what you go out with. leave my girl alone. you ain't strong enough. your knees are bad. i'm telling you, it could be a rough night next week. >> oh, my gosh. >> he wore a nice fur coat to the game. >> bob was not happy. he was like, you know he's got bad knees. >> bob, i have seen your knees. >> all right. >> oh, my gosh. >> remember the dunk tank. >> fact is namath doesn't kiss like bob beckel. whoa, all right. you can see the entire extended footage of the budweiser ad on our page, facebook.com/thefive.

>> and oscar winning actor philip seymour hoffman dead at 46, and police are looking for two drug dealers who sold the actor the deadly dope. should somebody have seen this coming? >> this was drugs or alcohol or both? >> all that stuff. yeah. anything i could get my hands on. yeah. yeah. i liked it all. >> details next on "the five."

police are investigating the sudden death of actor philip seymour hoffman. the 46-year-old oscar winner was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his new york city

apartment yesterday. he battled with substance abuse for many years. in a chilling interview with 60 minutes in 2006, he spoke about his previous battles with addiction and said he had given up drugs because of a fear for his life. >> you said you don't drink? >> no, i don't. >> in fact, you went into rehab at a fairly early age? >> i did, i did. i went -- i got sober, i was 22 years old. yeah. >> so this was drugs or alcohol or both? >> yeah, all of that stuff. yeah. anything i could get my hands on. yeah. >> and why did you decide to stop? >> you get panicked. you get panicked. it was -- i was 22, and i got panicked for my life. it really was, it was just that. >> one of the things that we think is suspected that he took

heroin that had been mixed with another drug that was used for cancer patients. that heroin has been sold in a number of people, over 100, have actually died from the use of that heroin. it's what we call a hot shot. i think that's probably there's something to it. what do you think? this guy, who is responsible here for -- if he had a drug problem, he said he stayed in rehab for ten days. >> i'm curious. you nailed that, as soon as the news, you said, it's a hot shot, heroin, it's going around. do you go after the dealers for murder? i mean, is it that dramatic, that they can accuse a dealer for murder? >> potentially. there's precedent. it would be more like manslaughter charge, like a second degree kind of, depending on what they knew, if they knew they were selling the drug, if there had been prior instances where people had taken it they had sold to who the died from the drugs they were selling, then yeah, you have a case.

they have two guys allegedly on tape outside a bank, an atm, where another eyewitness saw a drug deal go down with philip seymour hoffman. he could make a positive in court identification, connect that to the drugs they have, because they have a police database in the narcotics use of where they're coming from, who is selling it. you get a couple other people that are looking at drug charges to point to the dealers who are selling that -- >> and most heroin comes with a name on it, a tag name. these guys who what they were selling. >> it was on the bag, yeah. >> i don't know. the only person i see that is at fault here is philip seymour hoffman. and he had every tool at his disposal and all the money in the world to get the help he needed, and i understand he was an addict, but i think he made a choice not to. and i don't understand. i'm not comfortable with the nypd going after the drug dealers for him when how many other people have been killed by drugs that they don't get the special treatment. >> that's a great point.

what i think is important is there arome people who have been subjected to this as well, they are suffering, they can't get help or can't afford rehab who are put in this situation. for me, if it takes a case like this where somebody recognizes a high profile actor and they can nail the guys and get them off the street, i like it. >> how many people die from heroin overdosed a year? >> between 2,000 and 3,000 a year, and i doubt they get the same treatment that philip seymour hoffman's drug dealers will get. it happens a lot. people will get clean. their tall rnls will go down, and then they'll buy the drugs and overdose in a relapse because their tolerance is up there, and that's what happens. there's a risk when you do these drugs. i have a problem with it being called an illness. i think it is a problem. i don't think it's an illness. cancer is an illness. my dad couldn't flush his cancer down a toilet like you can with an eight ball. his poor family, he has three kids, but it was a choice he

made. >> that's his life partner right there. real quick, bob, they had rec t recently separated and that's why he was in the west village, the apartment, from his life partner of 15 years. there were some problems and there was a period of time where apparently he did go to rehab, and maybe there's some doubt about it add the table, but he seemed to be struggling. >> a sad story all around. >> directly ahead, the moment you have all been waiting for. eric and i take you along for the fantastic ride that was super bowl xlviii. >> folks, here he is, the old man. look at that. oh, he moves blockers, making a turn. he's got it. ducked underneath those. he busted through, and yes! excellent job. oh, whoa. >> we'll show you what happened on our big adventure at the big game next on "the five." wow, this hotel is amazing.

test test who are you? wrong answer. wait, daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. yeah, i didn't have to bid i got everything i wanted. oh good i always do. oh good he seemed nice. express deals. priceline savings without the bidding.

meantime, yesterday, i took bob to the super bowl for his first time. it was a blast. check out the adventure. >> bobby, take a look. there it is. >> this is like amazing to me. i had no idea i was going to be going to the super bowl. >> i was supposed to have a golf cart three minutes out of the car. i was supposed to have a golf cart. >> well, he's going to try to do the experience and i'm going to do the play by play if he doesn't end with a broken back, i will be amazed. here he is, the old man. look at that. blocks some blockers, made a turn. he's got it. ducked underneath that. he busted through, and yes!

>> the one thing you have wanted for the last hour since we got in here is what? >> the most important thing in any football game. a sausage sandwich with -- >> peppers. >> fried peppers and fried onions. >> let's see if we can find one? >> yeah, let's go find one. the hell with the game. sausage and pepper. and this is chuck norris. chuck norris is serving. >> without sausage, there's no football. in fact, if there was no sausage, i wouldn't come in. that made it all worth while. ♪

>> manning gets hit. ball up for grabs. picked off by smith. malcolm smith. all alone. touchdown, seattle. ♪ >> thank you. >> percy harvin, inside the 30. he's going to go. touchdown, seattle. >> it's unbelievable. you have been to these things, right? >> this is my fourth one. this is your first.

>> my first. >> how exciting is this? >> unbelievable. >> off the hook. >> seven different receivers. now kearse. what a catch. touchdown, unbelievable. jermaine kearse. >> the seahawks are world champs. >> a great time. having a ball, huh, bob? >> unbelievable. i didn't think i was going to like it that much, but i have. thank you for the ticket. good stuff. and you know people know the five around here. >> there you go. all right. >> we had a ball. >> a good time all the way around. i still get back to the number of people, "the five" fans, so nice, so nice to hear you all and talk to you. it was wonderful. >> great people. halftime. >> i complained about how bad it was going to be on friday. i have to say, bruno mars did a great job, but they couldn't

leave it alone. they had to wheel out those oily half-naked corpses called the red hot chili peppers. >> stop it. >> you don't give dolly parton an extra breath. just go out there with what you got. >> bruno mars was fine. >> i wanted to point something out. after the most well behaved fans i have ever seen, the broncos and seahawks. >> there was a house divided at casa perino because my brother-in-law and peter went to the game for the broncos, seahawks and broncos, and they said everybody at the game was so cordial and nice to one another. great sportsmanship. for me, it was like watching the harlem globetrotters run around the washington generals. >> kg, how was joe namath as a kiss snr. >> i told you, man. it's bob. >> nothing over me. >> we'll have to leave it there. by the way, a great night. last night broke the record for the most watched tv program in

history. also, a huge thank you to our producer, susan, who spent a lot of time on the package. "one more thing" coming up.
