hello, everyone. i'm andrea tan torose, along with bob beckel, greg gutfield, eric bolling, and dana perino. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." >> well, yesterday, the obama administration delayed the president's signature health care law for the 27th time since november 2012. the latest companies who have more than 50 employees but less than 100 will now have until january to comply with the law's mandates. now, earlier today, president obama offered his justification for the latest punt. >> this was a example of administratively us making sure that we're smoothing out this transition, giving people the

opportunities to get right with the law. but recognizing that there are going to be circumstances in which people are trying to do the recognize thing and it may take a little time. >> charles krauthammer sees this as another example of lawlessness within the administration. >> this is stuff that you do in a banana republic. it's as if a law is simply a blackboard on which obama writes any number he wants, any delay he wants, and any provision. it's now reached a point where it is so endemic that nobody even notices or complains. it's not uncommon. willful breaking of the constitutional order. where in the constitution is a president allowed to alter a law 27 times after it's been passed. >> mark halpern sees one possible explanation. >> this latest delay is really going to set people off more than the others simply because

it involves delay past the election. past the election, and that screams of politics without an alternative explanation. >> so mixed messages from the white house, greg. last week, we sat around this table and talked about how obamacare would liberate people from job lock, from the jobs that were terrible and they can go be artists and be free now, and this week, they want them to stay in their jobs, so they extend the mandate yet again for purely political reasons, i'm guessing? >> when you lost your health plan, they said they were liberating you from a bad health plan. when you lose your job, they say they're liberating you from a job you don't like. you have to wonder, what will they liberate from you next. will they liberate you from your home? will they liberate you from your life? euthanasia makes life easier for an eternity. you no longer have to breathe. that's the nature of socialism. they tell you what you want. this is the 27th delay. it's not a delay. it's a reprieve.

the economy is essentially like a death row inmate, and obama is putting off the needle until after the election. >> a lot of people, dana, believe this is political. republicans are coming out saying, okay, why don't you just delay the whole thing, or delay it for individuals as well? what do you think republicans should be pushing for, if anything? >> well, i think there's two pieces. one is obviously it's political. and in a political year, like a 2014, in a midterm election when the opposition party this time the republicans, when that base is energized anyway, then the politics of it matters because people are fired up and those are the people who turn out to vote. i do wonder if on the obamacare decision yesterday, if the administration isn't slightly more worried about the structural problems of the law than they are letting on. i think the cbo report was a big wake-up call. in addition to that, there was a big democratic meeting last weekend when they were complaining to the president about the drag that obamacare is having on their races. if you take that plus the

business concern, plus the cbo report, i think they have realized that it is a bigger drag on the economy than they thought. and it perhaps this is actually going to get punted well into the future, and it might not ever actually end up taking place. but the individuals that don't have a lobbyist, they're the ones who will have to continue to take it on the chin. >> that's right. eric, charles krauthammer went on to say he believes eventually the mandate will go away. do you think that's true, they will have to scrap the mandate? >> don't have to. i'm trying to figure it out. a delay is good, permanent delay would be best, but delaying just until 2014 midterms, which they're very, very concerned about, especially since everyone on the right things they should run against democrats and hang obamacare on them sounds a lot more like politics than good policy, but the bottom line, when you take a step back, listen to the administration, listen to president obama, we're delaying the mandate for companies, we're delaying the

mandate for small companies. if delaying is helping them out, why don't we just get rid of it? why do we even bother with this thing? if you -- in 2016, so now we're going to say we realize that was good for you, but guess what, now your delay is over. now you have to pay up. that's bad. let's just get rid of it. >> isn't that a subtle admission, delaying it, that the law is hurting businesses? so what difference does it make if it's hurting them now, bob, or hurting them in two years? >> well, first of all, without the mandate, if you don't like this law, you shouldn't be against the mandate because it will tear apart the entire law. you have to have the mandate to work. the second thing i would say is the united states supreme court ruled the mandate to be a tax. the treasury department has enormous latitude when it comes to how and when they implement a tax. they can give it, take it, modify it, back it off. it's happened for 100 years, 150 years, they have done that. so i don't see why this is necessarily something out of the policy realm. do i think this is politics?

sure. do i think halpern knows what he's talking about when he says everyone is going to wake up and think about it? no, i don't think so. most americans don't think about it. i don't think people are going to read it that way. the chattering class will read it that way for a good reason. it's a smart political move, but without a mandates, you don't have law, and without a law, you have 40 million people uninsured. >> once it's over and 2014 is in the rear view mirror, let's get back to what we really want to do and do some mandated health care, when people don't want it. if they wanted it, they would run on it. >> who doesn't want it? >> americans don't, bob. americans don't want it. >> can you tell me there aren't people with their pitchforks if they -- >> you say this is perfectly fine because it's a tax, but it was never sold to us as a tax. it was sold to us as hope and change. and it seems striking that the president keeps rescheduling his hope and change.

it's like a prostate exam without the benefits. he keeps pushing it off. it goes back to this. it doesn't matter if it's a tax or not. if it's so great, why won't he do it? >> we can't wait, we can't wait for my agenda. we can wait for everything. we can't wait for everything except obamacare. we can wait. here's my point on this, bob. you say small business, or most people don't wake up thinking about this law, most americans don't. i think most business owners do, and i think most business owners employees do as well because they want to know what their boss is planning for the next year and following years because that's how business owners plan. i do agree with you on one thing. i don'ts think they're going to get rid of the mandate because that is the glue that holds the whole thing together, the mandates, and then what incentive would any boss, dana, have for not just taking all their employees and dumping them right into the exchanges? or keeping their wages low so that they can be eligible for the subsidies.

>> that's why employees really care. you take away capital that could be used to reinvest in the company for raises, bonuses, a new gym that needs renovated in the building. in addition to that, the cbo report last week again reiterates even if the employer mandate went through and after it's fully implemented, the united states of america will still have 31 million people who don't have health insurance, so what did we do this for? bob, i don't know -- i don't know how to argue with you about the cbo numbers. if you don't accept what cbo says, they say 31 million uninsured after this. your point about 40 million are insured that weren't before, how do you square the circle on 31 million? >> i assume that means implementing the health care law the way it is, ending up with 31 million unemployed. >> on the day they passed the law, the president signed the law, the cbo said 31 million will remain uninsured.

last week, they still say 31 million uninsured at the end of implementation. >> actually, ten years down the road. in a decade, there will be the same number uninsured as there are right now. >> you asked me if i had taken the time to read the republican proposal for health care, so i decided for once in my life i would actually read them. they are the typical health savings account crap that was pushed around. it is nothing. it is putting everything out in the free market and let granny go ahead and pay a lot more. >> i don't know why the republicans don't do this. i said it before, i swear to you, it's not free market completely. certainly a lot freer than what we have right now because we have a mandate. remove the mandate. let government provide an alternative, not a mandate, but an alternative, if they want to get aggressive on price, they'll -- don't kill me for saying this, they'll bput the lowest insurance price on the board. >> what kind of alternative?

>> insurance. >> why don't we dathat. >> we do. we have a mandate. you don't have a choice. you have to be signed up on insurance. if you have the gump spending a quarter of what they're spending right now, offering a government-alternative insurance program, you're going to drive the prices down. >> you're saying people don't have to -- i see. >> that's not what democrats should have done. it's obvious they're fought going to do that. what they're doing now is running from president obama because of all the headlines and sound clips we played. listen to claire mccaskill who is a supporter of the president on another network this morning say, you know what, i can't blame democrats for not wanting to be seen with him. >> if you were running for re-election in arkansas, louisiana, or north carolina, would you invite the president in and campaign side-by-side with him? >> probably not. i mean, this is -- you know, i try to be really candid and honest on this show. ia know, the president's numbers are not strong in my state or in arkansas or louisiana, or north

carolina. >> i'm guessing there's going to be a lot of scheduling conflicts. the senators on one side of the state and the president's on the other, we just can't seem to come together. >> they have nothing to offer to go out there. they understand the reality of this. they lost virtually every state, obama did, a really tough election. >> thank you, greg gutfeld for answering. >> if the candidates choose not to run with obama, how is that not racist? remember anyone who disagreed with his liberal agenda was smeared as racist? the naacp call out all these cowardly white democrats for dezrting their black leader when he really needs them. it's disgusting. what do you think, bob? she's a racist. >> not many people want to campaign with bush. certainly nobody wanted to campaign with carter. >> but they weren't called raisest. >> i guess they were called honkies. i don't know. >> quick response, dana. >> i admire her candidness.

at least xi was honest. she was like, yeah, i don't want to. that helps her going forward, because every time he's going to come by missouri, she doesn't actually have to appear with him anymore. she's basically ripped the band-aid off and now they know, don't go to missouri. >> can you imagine the democrats are running from obama, the signature legislation. in his term. >> running from a black man. racist. racist. >> have you ever seen somebody in a tough senate race get close to a president? >> if obamacare is really popular, everyone loved it, they would all want obama in their state going, hey, this is my idea. this is our idea. >> if you were a liberal everyone would love you. >> all right, bob. all right, eric. okay, ahead on "the five," dana and eric return to the westminster dog show where they caught up with some canine competitors sprinting for tonight's finale of best in show. should jasper and freedom be jealous? >> first, bob costas has been sporting a bad case of pinkeye

in the olympic coverage. could vodka be the cure? i say vodka cures everything. we'll explain next on "the five."

the fastest seven minutes, three juicy stores, seven jackrabbit minutes, one jockural host. first up, it's imperative to do your homework, when you host a n news show, especially this. watch ktla's nrlt tainment reporter bungle this interview. >> working for marvel, the super bowl commercial. did you get a lot of reaction to the super bowl commercial? >> what super bowl commercial? >> oh, you know what, my mistake. >> you're as crazy as the people on twitter. i'm not laurence fishburne. >> that's my fault. i know that. my mistake.

>> we don't all look alike. you're the entertainment reporter. >> i know. >> you're the entertainment reporter for this station, and you don't know the difference between me laurence fishburne? >> my mistake, i apologize. my big mistake. >> must be a very short line for your job. >> you've done the interviews. have you ever called a guy -- or did you ever interview the wrong die? >> no, never. people are going to say this is racist. it's not. it's stupidity. sometimes stupidity is the cause of all things stupid, but sam jackson got it right. they aren't really the top of the line. that's why they're doing entertainment. they don't do investigative reporting, they don't read anything. half the time, they don't see the movies they're talking about. >> but they have good jobs and they fulfill a great need for people who need entertainment news. >> are you defendingomebody i should be defending? >> no, i'm trying to be positive. >> i think, yeah, he was an idiot. >> cringe worthy. >> yeah, whatever.

samuel jackson, if you only read the transcript, you would think he was going after him and being aggre aggressive. i thought he handled it well and was cute. >> i'm the entertainment reporter for this show, and i'll tell you everything you need to know about entertainment. dumb. >> he had the wrong guy. >> yeah, he did. which one is that, by the way? is that fishburn or jackson? >> i went to book representative steve king, it was the wrong one. so -- >> in iowa? >> that's who i thought i was booking. >> it's tough to keep congressman straight sometimes. it is. >> that's true. >> especially some congressmen. >> i knew you were going to say that. cue the symbols. entertainment topics are already so light. they have such a low bar just to get their names straight. this is why i overprepare for tv appearances, because maybe a producer put that in his packet, so this happened on the ellen

show, right? ellen's producer put travis barker, i think we have a picture of this, under pink's wife, carey heaart. and pink laughed and said, let's handle it with humor there. so mistakes are made, but you know, he maybe looks like him a little bit. >> good point. >> i might start to coin that strategy. >> if you're a regular "five" watcher, we have been tough on bob costas for some time for some of the stupid things he says when he ventures too far outside of the friendly confines of sports. you have to feel bad for the guy first. check out the eyes. first it was his left eye, and now it looks like it's got pinkeye in both of his eyes smack dab in the middle of the olympic coverage. i think he needs a vodka shot. >> i'm told in russia, guaranteed, not some kind of water or something. >> is this the hoda and kathie

lee portion? >> i'm not much of a vodka chi. i'm looking at it this way, though. my eyes can't get any redder no matter what i do. >> i'll drink to that. >> down the hatch. >> really? wow. >> tomorrow morning, i'll be lying on a curb in minsk. >> everything was fine until that. >> what a lightweight. >> i had a lot of diseases, but that is really nasty. i watched the olympics a little bit. i think nbc and costas have done a terrific job putting the olympics on. some of the stuff i dumped on like the skateboarding thing, i was wrong. it turned out to be great. >> the snowboarding? >> yeah. >> they said, what, a billion people are going to watch this? if you had pinkeye on both eyes, would you go on the air? >> if it meant getting a vodka

shot, maybe. i'm not a doctor, but i play one in segments. my friends and i went out, and it cured my fever, and all i drapg was vodka all night. >> what about the water? >> it was kind of gross to look at. >> feeling bad for him? >> i have pretty serious eye problems myself, so i felt bad for him. i don't have pinkeye, more of a chronic problem. >> you're just drunk. >> i know my eyes look bad quite a lot of the time. his look really bad. there's nothing you can do. time is the only thing that cures it. >> greg, would you go on air with pinkeye? >> i think he's promoting my show, red eye, but he was looking for visine, not vodka. but the other thing that bugs me, he was playing into the stereotype of russia. if he was in jamaica, would he smoke a joint? >> probably. >> i have been on many tv shows in the morning with red eyes. >> finally, what are you having for dinner tonight?

chicken, pasta, burgers? it's tuesday, so i'll be fasting, but tonight, potus and flotus will be hosting francois hollande and check out the menu. a feast fit for royalty, all paid for, by the way, you, the taxpayer. let me read a couple things quickly. first course, american caviar, then you move on to the winter garden salad with some merlot lettuce red wine vinaigrette, dry aged beef, jasper farm blue cheese. >> i think i have gotten in their head. i'm for the state dinners. i think france is a weird choice, but fine. if you're going to have a state dinner, america needs to show we can do it very well. and we have people from all over america participating, the beef is coming from a family in greely, colorado, so i'm for it. i like it. >> this goes down as one of the cheapest shots we've done on the

show. every state dinner -- of course, only obama. every person has at least that kind of food and a lot more. of course, we have to beat up on obama. >> i disagree. i look at this menu. braised charred quail eggs, baby carrots. this is disgusting. we need to impeach the white house chef. bob makes a point. all other presidents have done this, but i'm not sure. the first few dinners, state dinners, they were in excess of $500,000. >> and the average of every other president. >> i agree with bob. i agree with you, bob. i hate when we do these segments. i think they're stupid, and to give the white house credit, the initial dinner was half a million bucks, you point out, of the indian prime minister. now they have cut costs about $200,000, so they have sliced the budget. by the way, what are we supposed to give them, kfc in a bucket? i mean, seriously. no one is talking about the food, anyway. they're talking about the fact that this guy bothered his child

with his mistress. >> did you see how much it cost? >> they won't say. >> right. >> i think it's stupid. everybody is talking ability his love child anyway. no one cares about the food. >> regan gave hotdogs, i'm sure. >> up next, new developments to the search for answers in benghazi. a congressional committee slams the white house for the lax security ahead of the attacks.

scar on their mona lisa. worse, vital questions have messed with conspiracy. the louder voices make the others sound crazy. the dems go-to response, there's no there there. i get it, however, there's one question that needs a simple answer, and you know it. who pushed the video? it's not a link to conspiracy. it's just a question. 2016 looms for the clintons. it's always been about elections. 2012, 2016. and also, about an instinct to blame america first. the video was pushed to take the heat off hillary and her boss and to place it on us, the west. blame the video, then question us about security, delayed responses, and arrests fade, and they avoid accusations of islam phobia. blaming the video tosses all of us into a tiny jail cell that you pretend to christian with a funny name. the final touch, the government

buying whimpy ads on pakistani tv to apologize. nice work, but the accolades go to the media as they embraced the lie. they moved on as it unraveled. i would say the media swept it under the rug, but the media is that rug. you have to be limber for such contortions and it's part of the obama administration's motto. everything blows over, and it always does when it's the media doing the blowing. i have no idea. >> i see what you did. >> i didn't do kanything. >> liar. >> sick, sick human being. >> andrea, so the republicans have investigated benghazi and blame the white house and state department for failures. i suppose that's not surprising. will that have impact on the media who look at it as a bunch of angry republicans? probably not. they don't care, because no one is coming out and telling the truth about benghazi. what was interesting is when jonathan karl came out with his

report, it was funny. then the media caught on because they said abc is finally waking up to this, but we learned the three phases of benghazi, the night before, the during, the after. we learn despite repeated requests for security, they ignored even direct cables from the ambassador himself. why was his security taken away from him that night? how did al qaeda know he was moving around the country? it is a scandal. if it's not a scandal, it's incredible incompetence, and nobody has come to the table and said, wow, we really messed up. they said, it doesn't make a difference. >> yeah, bob, the thing is, you just boil it done to one simple question that never gets answered, then it's not a conspiracy. it's just simple curiosity. >> first of all, the idea that somehow his security was taken away tromhim and his movements were known -- >> according to this report, bob, security requests were specifically downgraded. >> i agree. >> down graded in libya. >> the way you said it, it sounds like they set him up to

be killed. let me give you the republicans' answer to that. no u.s. military assets could have arrived in benghazi to affect the outcome of the attack, according to the committee. i sat at this table, and you in particular, eric, and i think the rest of you agreed, there were planes in italy, people sitting in tripoli, and there's no way yod cusave those people. the video, it was on al jazeera a week before it was used -- >> who pushed the video? >> there's something you're missing. >> i assume they did. >> there's a good chance we didn't have assets to save chris stevens and shawn smith with him, but doherty and the other guy were killed four or five hours later. i'm sorry, seven or eight hours later. >> go argue with the republican majority. this is a dead issue. >> general ham was the one -- >> for some people. >> general ham testified and said, look, they knew about it in d.c.

leon panetta met with president obama and they knew. and then the stuff still continued to happen. bill o'reilly asked president obama the right question in his interview around the super bowl. he said -- >> let's get leon panetta back on the stand and ask him now, i know he testified before, but ask him now after general ham testified, hey, is ham right? did you guys know this was an attack immediately? if you did, why did they push the video? >> exactly. last word, dana. paramount is going to make a film on benghazi. >> i'm sure. >> do you think it will be more truthful? >> if paramount can answer the question, the paramount question, who pushed the video. the excuse can only mean there's a cover-up for politics and the administration will continue to face scrutiny. and if they don't want to answer it, that's fine, but i do think that, bob, i think that republicans, when they wake up in the country, they think, why can't that simple question be answered? and that will matter in 2014.

>> and shouldn't bill o'reilly have asked him what he was doing the night of the attack? i'm curious to know where the commander in chief was. >> i didn't hear the republican -- it was greg gutfield who kept saying who pushed the video? i didn't hear the committee, if they don't have anything to talk about, how ability the video. >> christians around the world have been targeted. it's gotten so bad a herring was held on capitol hill, and bob is not happy. we'll explain next coming up on "the five."

the targeting of questions around the world has been a serious and escalating crisis that makes my blood boil, and in a rare appearance on capitol hill, the archbishop of the vatican testified about the persecution of christians in the

middle east. >> flagrant and widespread persecution of christians rages in the middle east, even as we meet. arab christians, a small but significant community, find themselves the target of constant rhrhurasment for no reason other than their religious faith. >> very well put. and also, i want to throw in here, i want to know specifically where the countries, the muslim countries, the presidents of those countries or the dictators of those countries are when this takes place. where you are are hiding and you're cowards, as i have said before. but the u.n. has a part to play. in the empire where people were hung who were christians, they sat by and watched. at some point somewhere around this world, somebody is going to stand up for christians. if you're not going to do it, we may have to take things into our own hands. >> i'm catholic, a christian, and it's atroeshish what is going on.

i think us highlighting things like this testimony is the best we can do. i'm not sure you're going to get response from dictators who don't care about "the five" much, but the more people get to know and the more groundswell of awareness, i don't think people who are watching today really realize how much of it is going on. >> that includes the president of the united states, i might add. >> you guys, to the credit of the producers of "the five," good job for highlighting it. >> why they're staying silent on this, i do not know? i imagine they would say they're working on it behind the scenes and trying to deal with it diplomatically, but it's fair soothey they could turn up the heats. i would point people to the article yesterday where christians should speak out about countries that are criminalizing homosexuality with multiple hundreds of thousands of people -- i was saying hundreds of thousands, but thousands being arrested, beaten for being gay, and christians, if we're going to call on

muslims to defend christians, christians ought to speak out to defend people's human dignity. >> yo. >> that's a great question. yo. you said take matters into our own hands? how about taking our money and keeping it in our own hands? we give the united nations $7.96 billion, and that's a low estimate, the united states gives them from all different agencies, and this report that the u.n. put out is such hypocrisy and such projection. they're lecturing the catholic church, and the u.n. has its own shady history with rape. i think it would be interesting to give a copy of the report to the muslim countries not in favor of homosexuality and have them be at odds with the united nations. a lot of these countries, as dana mentioned, discriminate against homosexuals and the u.n. is a very pro-muslim organization. why not shove it back in their face? >> greg? >> it's not just the persecution of christians.

it's the persecution of people. by coincidence, by radical islamics. it's always radical islamics. radical islam should be the uniting force for christians, gays, buddhists, vladimir putin. we all have the same crazy neighbor. it's that house on the block with newspaper all over the windows, and it smells like crap, and nobody goes near it. but every now and then, that person leaves that house and hurts somebody. you cannot change radicate islam. you can only fight it. >> you could unite democrats and republicans as well. >> it's a muslim religion that sit on top of it, and a religion that has failed to step up to the plate because they're cowards. they're afraid of the islamist, and every muslim country out there, a pox on you. >> not every country. >> most of them. you name me one muslim country that spoke up to the islamists. you can't do it because they won't do it. cowards.

>> a behind the scenes look at the westminster dog show -- that was a great follow up. the best in show will be crowned tonight. i'm sure a few muslims will be there -- >> bob. >> eric and dana talk to one of the experts on grooming. >> where did you learn the grooming tips? >> my parents are bred the breed over 30 years. >> more on eric and dana's canine adventure when we come back.
