tv The Five FOX News February 17, 2014 2:00pm-3:01pm PST
2:00 pm
hello, everyone. i'm greg gutfield, along with andrea tantaros, dana perino, bob beckel, and e e. this is "the five." the show house of cards, aka, the olympics for homely people, premiered this weekend. power corrupts but so does attention, and hollywood knows there's nothing that makes the media more pliedable than when you include them in the fun. >> is washington more exciting than hollywood? >> look, for me, it's like performance art. you know, i sometimes watch and actually we can get done
2:01 pm
shooting in a day and i'll turn on the news and think, our storylines are not that crazy. they're really not. >> well, maybe so, but with one exception. when it comes to the right, they get it all wrong. but so does all of tv. by applying a lefty aesthetic to the right, the hollywood version of conservatism becomes as real as spacey's hair. the right doesn't act the way the left thinks, but the writers don't know that, because they don't know you have angry right wingers, and in nashville, a singer cancels concerts due to people mad that she broke up a marriage. the right wing's instinct is never to protest but to go to work. can you remember the last protest over personal behavior over the right. did they even bother with bill clinton? nu nooses or doorknobs, slurs on
2:02 pm
receipts, it's blamed on the right. it's code pink who heckles. conservatives koentd wake you up to discuss pipelines on your doeb step, in fact, the worst thing day do, sadly, is nothing. so, andrea, you haven't watched the show because you're very busy. or is it because it reminds you of your old job? >> it does a little bit. sometimes when it's too close to home, i think it was like dana said doctors might not watch doctor shows because it reminds them of their past life or past job, but it is a pretty predictable plotline to go after conservatives. i watch "the following" on fox with kevin bacon, and the crazy cult couldn't just be a crazy cult. it had to be a militia obsessed with guns. it would be refreshing with the shows for once didn't take a shot at conservatives but took a shot at liberals.
2:03 pm
that would be refreshing and different. but we watch anybody. >> because we're used to it. >> we're used to it, and we can see through the bs, and i think it's probably the toughest reason conservatism can't break through, is because cultural a, we're being bomb parted with these messages everywhere from tv to music. it's not just washington, d.c. >> the show is based on the idea there's this vice president who is pulling all the strings and the president is ineffectual. could this be true with joe biden and barack obama? >> i hope not. >> joe biden could be an oscar-winning actor pretending to be a bumbling idiot. >> he's not a bumbling idiot. we editing him way. i'll tell you about "house of cards." i didn't watch ton till dana forced me to. i watched the whole first season. as somebody who has been in washington 30 years, it was a pretty accurate portrayal of at
2:04 pm
least the legislative process. one guy got killed in a garage, but the rest of it, i thought, was pretty much on the money. and i'll tell you a story -- well, let dana go because i'll follow it up and tell you why the second episode turns out to be true. >> let me go to eric. i know you don't watch the show because there are no zombies. if the president was a zombie, would you watch it? >> can i be honest? i pushed back. dana said, you have to see it, you have to watch it. so when we're doing the segment, they sent me two episodes. i believe it's the last episode of season one and the first of season two. fantastic. i didn't want to like it. i'm absolutely hooked on it. i love it because of the interaction. as for it being accurate, i mean, the vice president was involved in a -- he actually killed one of his enemies, maybe it's not as accurate as we're saying, but kevin spacey's hair is fake? >> i'm pretty certain it is. i'm assuming it is. >> can i be honest?
2:05 pm
the interaction between spacey and his chief of staff is just phenomenal. i love the show now. >> that's what i loved about it at first, too. >> your impressions have changed, dana? now moving away from the show. >> i had high expectations and they have been dashed. i was a big fan early on. one thing that is accurate about it, the set design. the lighting. i think that in the oval office, it looks just like, at least before president and mrs. obama redid the current oval office, it looks like the one during president bush's time. same couches, same chairs. i like some of the legislative action, too. ien think that the way a bill becomes a law, it's kind of boring, so you have to do it quick if you're going to do it in a 45-minute episode. what i didn't like in this season versus last season is it was the first show i watched where the democrats weren't portrayed as complete angels.
2:06 pm
everybody looked bad but you could work together to get something done. that happened on entitlement reform, but there's so much portraying of a tea party candidate or congressman, as a doofus. and it's also so thinly veiled, all the little messages about how democrats are better than republicans. i was really disappointed in the show. i'm going to watch it. >> without giving anything away, when they did the vote and didn't have a majority, the your yourm, they had a message to haul people to the floor. that happened. in 1988, bob packwood was hiding in the senate, hidden office underneath the bowels of capitol hill, these little offices, and they had to break down the door. they brought him in, feet first, onto the floor of the senate, and he became the quarem. and they brought a guy who was dying of cancer, i remember this. we needed his vote desperately on the panama canal treaties and
2:07 pm
they brought him in on a stretcher. they said, how do you vote, and somebody put his arm up. >> like weekend at bernies. it seems like they learned from the mistakes of the west wing in terms of lighting. remember how dark it was on the show? no one could see anything, but it sounds like they're playing into suspicions. people suspected or trying to say that dick cheney was running the presidency, and people have said, oh, yeah, the clintons have killed people. so i think they start to play into these suspicions with the show. >> it's the same with nashville, you mentioned how one of the characters, a big iconic star, she has an affair with a married man. that marriage breaks up and all of a sudden, her country concerts are canceled all over the nation, and there's crazy protester s whenever she goes. i don't remember the last time somebody protested about infidelity, and it's right
2:08 pm
winger bible thumpers in a show called nashville, about country music. it's their fans. it soured me on that show, too. >> you're falling apart. >> it looks like i have been crying, but i actually have a cold. >> eric, president obama tweeted about the fact he was going to watch a bunch of shows this weekend. he said, please, no spoilers. what is the philosophy behind -- >> because he's checking twitter all the time? give me a break. >> what is the -- what is the rules with spoilers now that things are being released all at once? a season is released, is it up to you not to tell people? is that your responsibility? >> no, there's a spoiler alert app you can get on twitter. you put the word in, and it won't show up. maybe that's what happened with benghazi, the irs, fast and furious. >> don't tell me how it ends. >> i'll find out later. can i point out something about
2:09 pm
"walking dead" my favorite show, they took an anchor and put him on talking dead afterwards last night. i was crushed, absolutely floored. there couldn't have been a more positive influence for walking dead than this one right here. killed me. >> i kept on you to watch house of cards, and you finally did it today. i'm going to commit to you, i will watch an episode of walking dead. >> you do walking dead, i'll do house of cards. >> there's some german art films i would like to introduce you do. >> i tried to watch those, but i was moved to tears. >> i can't watch them because they remind me of certain things in my past. >> that was you in the film, right? >> you probably did a lot of german films. >> it's hard to tell it's me with all the latex. i'm going to throw to one more. this is sound on tape of stephanopoulos, is that his name? the guy with hair. whatever. talking to spacey about the pace of government versus what
2:10 pm
president obama can do, i guess. >> it does seem like even president obama has a little bit of frank underwood envy, the ruthlessly efficient frank underwood. >> i can imagine he would. it must be really interesting not just for an american public, but people around the world to view a very effective congress that gets things done. i can imagine he must feel, gosh, i wish we could move that quickly. >> what do you think of that? >> that was another dig, i think, atropines, wishing he could get something done quicker. they didn't set up the government so things could fly through. they wanted the gridlock, and the push pull, and i'm sure president obama thinks he is a shrewd, savvy character. the reality is it was really nancy pelosi and harry reid who got obamacare through. president obama is not shrewd and does not know how to navigate. >> i wouldn't say he's not shrewd. anyone who gets elected to
2:11 pm
president of the united states is shrewd. what you're saying about president obama, if he could be frank underwood, the last time the congress was run like that is when lindyndon johnson was majority leader and sam linwood was the speaker. and they would come together and decide how the congress would be run, and it got done. >> don't you think gingrich did? >> no. >> you don't remember sam rayburn? >> i watched the entire season, and it makes me feel awful that you sit and watch 13 episodes in a row in your underwear. >> how do you purge yourself after binging on television? >> their are photos. >> candy crowley is on and starts asking really tough questions. i thought, how refregzs. she's on. i won't say what she's talking about because then that's a spoiler alert. ahead, how to defeat hillary clinton if she runs again in 2016. mitt romney and karl rove have

2:16 pm
if hillary clinton runs for the white house again and clinches the nomination, what the best stratanying for republicans to defeat her? senator rand haul thinks her husband's infidelity should be revisited, but mitt romney doesn't agree. >> i think she's have plenty to discuss about her own record. i don't imagine bill clinton is going to be a big part. on the other hand, he embarrassed the nation. he breached his responsibility, i think, as an adult and as a leader. in his relationship. and i think that's very unfortunately, but i don't think that's hillary clinton's to explain. >> karl rove also has thoughts on how to defeat her. >> anyone who is going to take
2:17 pm
on hillary clinton in 2016 if she is the democratic candidate or does run, democratic-republican, had better focus on what they're for in a way that allows them to contrast implicitly with mrs. clinton. easier to say what you're against, harder to say what you're for. >> let's start with eric. everyone is saying don't talk about the elephant in the room. right, the media is saying republicans, we're warning you. don't know there. >> why do you have to talk about her weight? that's so offensive. apologize immediately, dana. >> it's a saying, a phrase. the elephant in the room. >> i didn't know. >> now i'm totally thrown off. anyway, my question is, is it leg legitimate to bring it up? >> i'm not sure it's legitimate, if you're talking about her response to bill's dal ynlss. >> or the fact he would be back in the white house. >> i don't know that's reliable. >> his affairs he was having,
2:18 pm
whatever, but it's relevant to look at hillary clinton to see how she reacted then in the papers that were released about a month ago or a couple weeks ago. she knew about them and she kind of excused them because they called her ruthless because she was really focused on bill clinton's presidency and maybe her own going down the road. you have to decide, is that the kind of person you want? someone so driven and focused that they'll look the other way. i think it's relevant in those terms. don't think it's relevant that bill clinton slept with a bunch of women. >> the report you're talking about was in the washington free beacon. it was a reporter who went after the papers. finally, they were released by the clinton library, then the media instead of talking about the substance of the documents, decided to attack the washington free beacon as being an illegitimate news source even though she got the scoop that
2:19 pm
everyone would want for themselves. >> that's what they're going to do to anyone who attacks hillary clinton based on the fact or issues. they're going to say you don't like wipen. they're going to keep it off her record as a senator in new york. i think the worse thing a republican can do is talk about bill and his affairs. most people in the united states knew he was an adulterous horn dog before he was elected and they elected him. she'll say i'm a victim if you bring it up. what they should do is ask her real questions. what's your plan to create jobs? are you for an employer mandate? substantive questions about what she would president? stead of she's a woman, raw raw, we should vote for her, and we get bill as well. >> even in 1999 and 2000, when george w. bush was running, they mida communications decision or he decided not to talk about it but would focus on an agenda. he ended up winning, a good
2:20 pm
strategy for 2016? >> let me look at this as a pure political analyst. i'm going to disagree with mitt romney. the idea that bill clinton will not be involved some way in the discussion about a hillary candidacy is ludicrous. it's going to happen. he's right, you don't want to go after them on the affairs. that's been gone over and over again. i don't think that's where they're going to go. they're going to use clinton's success economically as part of the strategy. i agree with rove. you can't go after hillary clinton, why didn't you do this, why didn't you do this? republicans have to learn, sooner than later, that they have to have a strategy that says here's what we're for and this is how we're going to do it. they talked about it, but you need to be able to put up a positive -- this is what you do, this is how i do it, instead of saying no, no. >> i agree with that, but don't you think they should ask her what she plans on doing instead of talking about what her husband did, instead of talking
2:21 pm
about her appearance, her weight. leave that and ask, here's what we're going to do, what are you going to do? >> listen, if obamacare goes as badly as you think it is, they'll raise that issue on her because of the health care reform debate began with her heading up the health care reform panel at the white house. but i think you're exactly right about this. you're going to have to force her to say this is what i would do. she's going to have to force republicans to say, okay, what is your answer? for the last four years, you have said nothing. >> i think you should be able to ask hillary what is she going to do, and ask bill, who are you going to do? go ahead. >> all those questions, five ws and an h. unfair for romney to say that clenlten embarrassed the nation or accurate? >> i getteuess it's fair -- >> how many people are voting
2:22 pm
who have no idea what happens? >> miley cyrus was in england and did a theatrical performance where she simulated a sex act with president clinton. i don't think anyone in the audience understood what was going on because they were 4 years old when it happened. going back to what you're saying, we're all in agreement that it's not about the negative approach to hillary. it's the positive approach of the republican party. the person cannot just be right about the issues. they have to be persuasively, meaning they have to be able to convince people, if you're not political, that you like this person, which president obama was able to do. he convinced non-liberals, young people, to vote for him without really understanding what his ideology was. >> i agree with you, bob, the republicans have to say, this is what we're about, this is how we're going to fix the economy, but if you want to go after her, look, there's no disputing that when those four bodies came back from benghazi, i know everyone hates benghazi, they're sitting
2:23 pm
in the hangar, and she mentioned the video at that point as part of the blame for why the guys are dead, and knowing very well at that moment in time it had absolutely nothing to do with the video. if you want to do something, there's your negative attack ad? >> are they going to have to address that, bob? i think hillary clinton thought she has put it to bed, but does it haunt them? >> anybody who is going to vote against her on benghazi is already voting against her. you have hard core conservatives who think about benghazi a lot are going to vote against her anyway. >> you don't think it's a matter of character and judgment? >> you could argue that, but this is a woman who has persevered through an awful lot, she's been first lady, a senator, secretary of state. the people in the millry like her, and the other obstacle with the republicans, a majority of voters in the country are women.
2:24 pm
there are women who would vote, who would otherwise vote republican, who will vote for a woman. >> that's why they -- i said they need an obama. they also need a hillary. they need an obam-illary. >> you could imagine eight or nine white guys and a coronation likely for her, and when the report came out in the free beacon saying she was ambitious, i think, if that's the attack they use, they're going to say, they're going to rally women by saying what's wrong with a female being ambitious? and they're going to pit women against men, and women are going to say, we want to see a woman in the white house. we want to be a part of history, the same way they want to be a history with obama. >> the word was ruthless. i think that was the other word. >> there's a lot of ruthilousness. >> i agree. >> coming up, a warning from our
2:25 pm
2:29 pm
folks, it's cold outside. in fact, last week, 49 of the 50 states or 57 if you're president obama, had snow on the ground. record snowfall and extreme temperatures, i can go on and on. for the last 17 years, there is no, literally, no measurable warming of the globe, but john f. kerry says the debate is over, global warming is happening. over the weekend, he said he's not going to debate it anymore and took a shot at anyone who disagrees. >> the science is unequivocal,
2:30 pm
and those who refuse to believe it are simply b lly burying the heads in the sand. the president obama and i believe very deeply that we do not have time for a meeting anywhere of the flat earth society. >> all right, greg. so you pointed something out important. >> well, yeah, jakarta has been often the target of terror attacks. 1 degree cellulous is somehow more damaging than iranians getting a nuke? he could be secretary of h & r block. you can't make money off good news. you can only make money on the climate if it's bad news. hurricanes and cyclones have fallen. this is great fact. since the 1920s, the global annual death rate from weather related diseases has declined by 99%, and hurricanes that hit
2:31 pm
mexico, no death. but when they hit places like burma, of equal power, they kill 200,000. the answer is always going to be in prosperity and freedom. that's good news. he can't sell that. by the way, none of those people were listening to him. they were going, you're out of your mind. >> they're wondering how much money can we get for that? >> the senate democrats late last week said this is the new thing. we're going to talk climate change. over the weekend, the talk shows go there and john kerry goes there. how does this happen? >> i think that this is the influence of john podesta, who recently left citizens for american -- whatever it is, and went to the white house. he's calling himself a strong environmentalist. i would call myself a strong environmentalist. let's say on the science part they're right. i'm not saying they are, but their policy prescription is so weak, they never talk about it. they have decided to fight on
2:32 pm
science grounds. it's very unusual for the secretary of state to talk about flat earthers and amazing if they had that much conviction about the people killed ensyria. if they would focus on the geneva talks. we were closing to an international agreement with climate change with the asian pacific region. there's no policy answer that john kerry is offering right now. >> bob, how do you explain that? of all the things in the world right now, john kerry figures this is the best thing to spend his time on? >> let me say, we get in fights about this, so let's say there are those of us who agree with the national academy of science that says 99% of the published scientists in the world agree there's global warming. let's leave that aside. you don't agree with that. these guys see a cataclysmic situation developing if this
2:33 pm
continues. if it does, what kerry is arguing about this being a weapon of mass destruction, if the oceans were to rise 3 or 4 inches, it would wipe out hundreds of millions of people. >> would they have to have a policy? >> in bangladesh alone. >> not true. >> why isn't it true? >> i'll tell you, well, go ahead. >> i wanted to throw out there, the study you're sighting over and over, is debunked. gueye have it right here. >> debunked by who? >> by the journal of science and education. they went back and looked at all this data and it turns out it wasn't 97%. it was less than 1%. >> that's ridiculous. just ridiculous. >> because of manmade -- >> anybody who put that out is bunk. that's bunk. >> can i get andrea in here? >> i'm just listening to you all talk. i think richard linson, who we brought up before, m.i.t. professor, has it right.
2:34 pm
and most people probably agree with him. okay, a small amount has happened, but there's no need for alarm bells. no need to go crazy. i think it falls probably somewhere in the middle. what i find bizarre is john kerry also is overseeing the keystone pipeline. why they would move that under the purview of the u.s. state department, and it's not just the indonesians saying what is he talking about, there are probably terrorists in caves laughing, saying this is what the secretary of state has made his number one priority? great, we're glad this is what he's going to focus on while we plot to kill them. >> i'm sorry to cut you off, but i have to get this in. this is something john kerry also said in the speech. >> climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. >> greg, go ahead. >> the farther you get away from
2:35 pm
september 11th, the closer you have to september 10th. >> good point. here's the science, like you said, temperatures haven't risen over 17 years. while co2 has been rising. that distinction is discrepancy is interesting, but if there's a slight increase over the century in celsius, that saves lives. a warmer climate allows you to grow more crops and more people die in cold weather. so they're actually arguing for more death. >> wait a minute. if i was in the philippines, 3 or 4 inch rise in the south china sea will kill tens of thousands of filipinos. >> okay. >> i would love to see the science on that. >> okay. >> ahead on "the five," team usa hockey hero tj oshie reveals what he was thinking when he scored the winning goal. that shot earned team usa a victory on russian ice. you'll hear from him. plus, an nbc reporter pushed alpine skier bode miller to tears when she questioned him about his late brother moments
2:36 pm
after his win. did she go too far? i say no, but i'm definitely in the minority. you decide next. to truck guys, the truck is everything. and when you put them in charge of making an unbeable truck, good things happen. this is the ram 1500. the 2014 motor trend truck of the year. ♪ and first ever back-to-back champion. guts. glory. ram.
2:38 pm
2:40 pm
three decades after the miracle on ice, we witnessed another one this weekend when team usa pfsz hockey players defeated russia in an olympic nailbiting thriller. tj oshie scored the winning goal in a shootout in overtime. he scored four times in six tries. he spoke about the incredible moment and what he was thinking about right before it. >> what was going through your mind at that moment? >> what do i do next? there's a little panic in there. i saw the replay. it looks like i wasn't shaking, but i was underneath, and really
2:41 pm
happy the last one went in. >> that was an awesome game, wasn't it, bob? you said you watched it. >> amazing, i tell you the thing about it. when they have penalty kicks in soccer, for example, there's a big, hung net, and there's a goalie. and it's pretty easy to get a ball in. when you're trying to shoot into a hockey net, it's a very small area, and these guys are very, very good, these goaltenders. these guy did four of 6, and the last one, he did it almost in slow motion. had the guy completely confusioned. >> had to feel good to beat the russians on their own turf. >> maybe not be a miracle on ice, because it was amateured against professionals, but interesting aboutotia. there was a picture on twitter with some military people in afghanistan jupping up, clapping when he scored the winning goal. and oshie, people were saying
2:42 pm
you're a hero. he said, i'm not a hero. the people in camo are the real heroes. he's a great kid. a great person on top of it. >> dana, you said you didn't watch the game, you were at yoga, but you have to admire what eric said he said about men in camo, which is so different than hollywood actors have been saying, which is my job is just as dangerous. >> i read about it, and high husband said the game was incredible. i do think it's interesting to listen to a lot of the interviews after these competitors come off the field or come off the ice, wherever it might be. they're very humble, and a lot of it seems very sincere to me. unlike in the nfl, where it seems like it's all talking points when they come off the field. we talked about the things they said and shouldn't have said, but these guys seem completely genuine. >> greg, you had your face painted, your entire body painted, was it worth it. >> it wasn't for the game.
2:43 pm
completely different. matt lauer asks him, what is going through your mind? just ask them what they're thinking. also, olympic hockey reflects the exceptionalism of american life. the best players in the teams play in the nhl. why? because our system is better. there aren't players flocking to lot v latvia. >> from a feel good moment to a not so feel good moment, a lot of people pretty outrages for a reporter from nbc, for pushing bode miller on the death of his brother before the olympic games. he lost his brother to a seizure last year. here's the interview lighting up the internet. >> you're showing so much emotion. what's going through your mind? >> um, a lot. just a tough year. >> i know you wanted to be here with chili, really experiencing
2:44 pm
these games. how much does it mean to you to come up with a great performance for him? >> i wanted to come here and -- i don't know, i guess make myself proud. >> when you're looking up in the sky, we see you there, and it looks like you're talking to somebody. what's going on there? >> so what do you think, greg? did the reporter go too far? >> i don't think so. i mean, i don't think she was being mean. she was following up with a story. i get more annoyed by the fake outrage on twitter, which to me is actually more obnoxious. people used to shout at the tv. now they just go on twitter. but i think she was doing her job. i think, if he torgave her, what's the deal? >> he did. he tookdana, and he said i forgive her. she was doing her job. >> i can tell you this, having seen that, i think everything was fine until the last question.
2:45 pm
she says you're looking up to the sky. what she obviously wanted him to say is yeah, i'm talking to me dad brother. so superficial. >> i completely disagree. if you watch the runs, you saw him doing it, you wondered what he was doing. she pulled out of him the emotion. you can't win these events without having a lot of emotion and having something to ski for or whatever for. she did her job. by the way, there was a barrier between bode miller and kristen. he could have said, thank you very much. he stayed. >> nbc does this well, other networks, too, but that's what draws you to watch the olympics. if there hadn't been any personal stories and he went through a strajied and skied and he's been in the american public life for a long time, it would be like watching any other
2:46 pm
event. the olympics are different. >> it humanized him. i don't think it was that bad. also, he started the interview, if you watch the full interview, talking about the emotion he had. he tipped it off. she didn't go there first. he went there first, and i don't think she saw him tearing. he wiped his eye and the tears started to flow after the third question. i actually don't think it was that bad. directly ahead, it's presidents' day, and we'll tell you which of the 44 are our faves. can you guess? next.
