. hello everyone. i'm foil along with bob beckel, eric bolling, dana perino and greg gutfield. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." there's a new poll out on the worst president since world war ii. yeah. that's 70 years worth of presidents to pick from. so guess who is number one? according to one-third of american voters it's president obama. and he's worked hard to earn it. especially recently by defying congress and subverting the rule of law. even the supreme court just

ruled against his overreach. the president, however, is unphased by his critics. >> not crazy. it's not socialism. you know, it's not, you know, the imperial presidency. so sue me. as long as they are doing nothing i'm not is going to apologize for trying to do something. >> okay. so that didn't go very well. eric, since you've had a troubling hair day we'll let you go first. >> what is with the hair lately today? so where did that attitude come from? wow. really? i mean the man was just voted the worst president since world war ii you would think he would be more humble. so sue you. how about do your job so we don't have to sue you and stop with all the executive orders on things that really matter like immigration and the other things and appointing nlrb.

i find it -- it makes me angry when he acts like that. that attitude, i'm going to do it. so sue me. screw you. >> well, look, is he the worst president in the last 70 years? it's kind of an insult. i mean to him because company have been the worst for 250 years and i include belgium and other countries. his failure is so vast you can see it from space which is why aliens no longer want to invade us. it was a cool place in the '90s. not any more. obamacare, irs, doj, snowden, bergdahl, va, so len dra, "fox & friends," benghazi, fast and furious, the border, iraq, that's not a resume that's a hurricane and he's destroying everything in his path. that's why this poll is so damaging to him. but he doesn't care. you fool yourself into thinking that this bothers him. he chuckled over this over his

breakfast of dog sausage. >> i love sausage but i'll pass on the dog. miss perino. >> he eats dogs. >> the poll numbers have been going down steadily since the re-election. he wins re-election and start going down from there. the sixth year of any second term for any president is usually a very tough one. so, in some ways you look at the white house you can say well there's nowhere to go but up from here. not necessarily true because unexpected things could happen and depends on either the supreme court maybe gives you that brushback pitch, or something unexpected happens in the world that you have to respond to and that is actually quite likely and happening right now in the middle east. so a president has a choice at this point so you can determine right now, not with specific ti but make a choice how will my last two years will go. what does he want to accomplish in the next two years.

does he want to solidify a progressive realignment of america. maybe that's what he decides to do. maybe he goes out i accomplished one major last thing in my last two years and it was the thing that helped propel america into better economic growth. if he chooses to do tax reform he might be able to get it done. in 1992, marlin fitswater told me about the time frame. if anyone told me george bush would be respected and revered 15 years after his presidency he said no one would have believed it. at least the staff at the time. they stuck with him. over time things do happen that things get better. i don't know if that will happen for president obama but i assume -- >> president bush said there's still books coming out about first president. george washington. i think these are good numbers for obama. given everything that's happened, wow. i can't even believe the numbers are this high at this point

since what's gone down. >> what he's the worst. >> honest to god i thought the poll numbers would be lower than that given the number of -- i'm sorry, bob. this is how popular the guy is that the numbers are this good. if bush was in and had all these problems including "fox & friends" that greg listed off his numbers would be even lower. bob, i tried to help you. >> you're trying to help me. thank you very much. i don't need it. let me put it this way. when you poll somebody who is in office you're obviously going to get a very high negative. george bush is number two and fading. his numbers are going down. that's to say his unfavorable is going down. history will record this one way or another. if you buy this poll, i went to quinnipiac and looked at the cross tabs. unlike whoever the idiot was who put our research together -- >> bob that's not very nice. >> sorry. that said move over jimmy carter, the assumption being

carter was the most unpopular. carter is the most least unpopular of everybody including reagan, kennedy, he's the best. >> wait. >> what? >> obama has 33 -- >> research is flawed. >> carter has worst by 3%. >> i think it was eight. >> it's three. >> nobody remembers him. >> he didn't have a sixth year. >> any of these polls. correct, dana. >> jimmy carter would be only 3%. >> he was the third worst is what it was. >> no, it's wrong. absolutely wrong. >> but the point is i think these kinds of things are ridiculous when you do it in the middle of a term of a president. >> i agree with you. i do think the disdain -- >> get carter's picture off of there. >> obama interprets the disdain that it's a sign that what he's doing is working, because he always saw himself as the medicine man feeding america

this foul smelling elixir which is called progressivism. no matter that the treatment is deadlier than the disease with leftism what doesn't kill you, kills you. >> here's what is it. president obama is rated as the worst. then president bush. then third was nixon and in fact jimmy carter was rated the fourth worst since world war ii and he was 8%. >> what was kennedy? >> as dana pointed out he didn't have a second term. >> he was second or third best. ronald reagan was second best. >> nonetheless you make my point it was not move over jimmy carter. >> how do i make your point. >> what is your problem, exactly with this? >> can i tell you that the other thing i think what obama said here when he said he was unhinged. the fact of what he said if congress is not going to do anything he'll do it himself. congress is sitting on its hands. refuse to do anything. refuse to sit down to work something out. they have been doing this for six years. trying to frustrate the guy.

i think this congress will be rated as the worst congress in the history of mankind. and the other thing that the progressive agenda he's had a lot of that is very good stuff for a lot of people. you may not think so. you may think progressivism is eroding this country, i think you're wrong. >> the left doesn't care if we don't like it. that's the point. >> that's not a factual response. the left doesn't care -- >> no you just said that. this stuff works. it doesn't matter if it's unpopular. that's the point. >> i don't think i said that. >> he's reintroducing policies that we defeated in other countries. it doesn't matter. his feelings trump reality. it doesn't bother him if we're unhappy. >> how about equal pay for women. >> yes i'm totally against that. >> that's something he passed when he first got in office. >> one of the problems is that like today the white house has been tied up in knots dealing with the fact that once again it

was proven the white house actually pays women much lower. okay. that doesn't mean that they don't have some merit to what their defense is but i do think that if you look at the right track wrong track numbers, and let's just take the last 30 years, the country is now saying okay we disagree fundamentally on some of the major issues going forward. so if i were in the white house right now with president obama's team i think they should try to find what are the two things that we could try to do in the next year. we might not able to do anything this legislative session but if we put our minds together we can accomplish to things. instead in the last week from the president it's been a shot at republicans and people are tuning out, looking ahead and not, they are not happy with congress but increasingly unhappy with the president as well. if i were him i would try to figure out how do i turn that around. what is the thing that would make people trust me again and have confidence in me. >> resign.

>> i don't know if that would necessarily increase the confidence. >> i was joking. >> i thought you were serious. >> good for you. >> you got my point. >> we'll talk about this in another block. one thing he can do in a lame duck session is save republicans by doing immigration reform which will save republicans. >> executive order. >> no do it by legislation. >> basically saying we're not going to deport anybody. >> in a lame duck session do a legislative work. >> can i throw the reason why he's scoring so low on these polls. look what's going on in the six years since he's been president. gasoline prices have literally doubled under his watch. food prices, a record high. all-time record high food prices in the history of america. meanwhile household incomes have gone down. and, employed americans have gone down. >> how about inflation. >> wow. so that's it. >> that used to be the biggest indicator. >> it's not.

it hasn't been. it hasn't been an issue for 20 years since the late '80s. >> you make a big issue out of food stamps. >> you know who was the best president on inflation, ronald reagan. >> i knew it. that was going to be my next question. bob, who do you think is the greatest president? >> who was the greatest president since the second world war? >> jack kennedy would be one. i would give a little to harry truman and to h.w. bush, the old man. >> nice. >> you said truman. that's good. >> truman -- remember truman did authorize the use of the bomb in japan which ended the war. would have cost us a million people to take that island back. truman did a lot of things that were very good. >> very interesting choice. to be inside bob beckel's brain. wow. can you pick one of the bushes?

>> no. i don't pretend to be unbiassed when i come to the bushs. we spend a lot of time thinking about the past when voters are thinking ahead and not enough attention is being paid -- what are the things we can do or agree on or if the president -- he had the we count campaign in 2011. that was the part he was going use the pen and phone and got all these plans and so then what are they actually going to do that they can hold up in the court. if they can't get it to hold up in court is there anything they can do to bring them together. if they decide the answer is no then it's a very different last two years. >> he only lost one thing on the court. that's about appointing people when congress is on recess. >> i don't think he has. >> obamacare was pretty good. >> that's a disaster. >> there's ongoing litigation and the one that deals with the

subsidies and who qualifies for them under obamacare will be heard by the court. that can change dramatically the future of >> my point is you keep saying it sounds like his rules and regulations are being knocked down. in fact, they are not. >> we'll just strongly disagree with that statement. but respect everybody here at the table. next -- >> history is history. >> a dramatic scene at the border as citizens activists turn away bus loads of illegal immigrants. isn't this our government's job? we'll talk about it when "the five" returns. ♪

>> go home. go home. usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! >> those protests were in california where citizens were urged to action by their mayor alan long. here's a snippet avenues conference. >> marietta continues to to be this transfer of illegal immigrants to the local control board office. we expect our federal government to enforce our laws including the deportation of illegal immigrants caught crossing our borders not disperse them into our local communities. >> we have a lot to get to. a quick round on this one. california liberal state, pushing back on illegal immigrants. >> i was a little bit surprised about this because it is pretty controversial because there are kids on the bus. right? so they are all different ages, some are teenage boys, 17 years of age, et cetera too.

but i think that's a tough position to be able to get out there, voice your opinion. but i love it. because you can do that in america and say how you feel. will it promote action on behalf of the government to do something about it? i don't know. i don't see a lot of affirmative decision-making in the right way. this may deal with three bus loads of people but they are not solving the overall problem. >> there's an estimate of 90,000 kids will come over this year. bob, citizens are standing up and saying enough is enough. >> part of this is in reaction to the movement because texas is full with these kids. these kids end up being sent to san diego. this is not a liberal community at all. pretty far right community. >> but a sensible one. >> you call it sensible. >> what's wrong with people asking for a border like every other country. >> there's nothing wrong with that. obama has deported more people than any other president in history. 465,000 last year. there is only a certain amount

of money available to deport these people. >> this number is so skewed and so biassed that the number keeps throwing around. he's deported more. deportation in the obama administration is sending an illegal immigrant a letter saying report -- >> that's a classic right-wing response. >> no it's not. >> let's not talk about -- >> your thoughts on this community saying hey we're against this and stopping the bus load of kids. >> so then if politics are local this is an example of that. when you're in a city like new york city you don't see buses coming across the border so then things are different. you have elected officials who are in charge. they have to manage and run their city. and what i heard the mayor asking for is some rule of law and some certainty from the government. what the people i think are responding to is to say if the government isn't going to be a deterrent then we have to do it

ourselves. that could be very good. could turn out to be fairly dangerous. and i don't see how in the absence of legislation how president obama will take executive action to solve that particular problem. the business community talks a lot about how they want to make sure we bring the best and brightest here because they want the engineers working in their companies. but there's another part of the immigration problem that does not seem too much to ask for a rule of law to be enforced in the area. i don't necessarily agree with the feasibility of building a fence but this we cannot continue to have buses of children stream across and then have democrats say well now what your going to do about it. >> if the government was doing what it was supposed to do those people would be under arrest. >> this is such an easy topic to apply common sense. i don't show up at your house

uninvited with all of my relatives. >> yes you have. >> only your place and it was late night. it's rude and illegal. it sounds like you lack compassion when you say that. it's not. it's common sense. you just don't show up uninvite preponderance of the evidence there's a process. the process is, legal immigration. god bless the legal immigrant, the guy who waits in line, the woman who fills out the paper work. they are treated like second hand citizens. obama has a perspective of a fun house mirror. he's putting the undocumented before the documented because it seems to be more compassionate. why don't we just annex mexico. they are annexing us. i love mexico. i think if mexico became our next state i would be so happy. >> our new new mexico. >> our new new mexico. >> what's the right way to secure the border before bob makes fun of a fence we know he'll buy a ladder company.

not so fast bobby boy, fences work. >> you start with a fence. it's very simple. people say oh, fences don't work, you make a ladder. well then you build two fences. triple strand fences. if fences don't work why is there one around the white house? >> bob? >> so rarely we hear charles krauthammer i'm delighted he's in here today. i think the fact he's right. there's a lot to be said for -- first of all, the other thing charles krauthammer said people here now can't send him back. we ought to put together a process where they can work themselves to citizenship behind people who are in line. >> how does that deter people from sending kids. >> here's the answer to why people are sending their kids up here is because they think that this is a better place for them to be and clearly it is. you can't blame obama for all this. obama is not down there hustling

people to get to the border. >> how does this prove in any way to be a deterrent. if i'm a mom and want to send a kid over why shouldn't i if i saw my neighbor's kid got in. >> what's you your point? >> any thoughts on the fence. >> >> there was an activist down, there amnesty activist that said if these children were from canada no one would mind. it's a good point. they are from canada because there's no incentive for canadians to leave. so you have to think about that. also they introduce race into this argument so that if you come out and say look we want to have actual border reform not immigration reform that will now be construed as bigoted which is why so many people are scared to come out and talk about this because people on the left call them racist. >> have immigration reform and close the borders off. >> i want a border like everybody else. >> i want to get dana in here. dana, republicans how do they tackle this. this is a big issue for republicans in 2014 and 2016.

>> i think the president of the united states will have to figure out some sort of way if he wants to solve this, i don't think executive action will do enough to solve the problem. on the fence issue i think that the appeal of america and how wonderful our country is, that if you want to come to america and there is a way to get here they will do it unless there's a deterrent that says you have to figure out a way to stay in line. we want the best for your children too but you have network with us so we can help you. i don't know how that needle is threaded. >> we have to leave it right there. >> leave people at home, is that your position? >> yeah. >> it is. good. >> why aren't they flocking down from canada? >> they got plenty of money in canada. ahead a sequel to the viral video we showed you last week with the kid with some serious moves at a marlins game. oh, boy. he saw himself on the jumbotron and bust ad move for the cameras. we weren't sure it was real.

♪ the first militant to be prosecuted for the attack on our consulate in benghazi made a court appearance today in washington, d.c. a federal judge ordered ahmed abu khattala to remain in custody until his trial. he pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspireing material to terrorists. prosecutors offered new details on their case against him. they say he entered the compound the night of the attack and supervised the exploitation of material at the scene and then went to a camp where a large group began assembling to attack

the compound's annex. kimberly you talked about this when the news broke. let me ask you about this. i'm not surprised that the judge said you have to stay in custody. for goodness sake he's in washington, d.c. and he's a terrorist. do you think it was wise to bring him to washington, d.c. in the first place? >> no.>> where maybe he could g. >> by the way, i think he should be over at gitmo. leave gitmo open. he should stay there until the end of the war which may be never. leave him there. he's an enemy combatant. why are we getting him his own johnnie cochran. we're trying to prove a point to, who the enemy, terrorist, we're so civilized. this to me as a lawyer as a prosecutor makes no sense. you want to try to make it harder and put an undue burden is that's not legally justified, that the onerous on the united states? by the way, they are hiding things. this is the indictment.

usually it's 50, 100 pages. there's nothing in there. they are not giving away any of it. >> would the judge know about it secretly. would the judge get other information. >> the judge will have access and be privy to the documents. this was done like that on purpose for political reasons so that all the rest of us don't get it. again so transparent. >> you know what's interesting about this, greg, is that if i, to me ahmed abu khattala is not separate from the rest of the fighting. i see it all as one a global war on terror. president obama said we can't play whack-a-mole. if you bring terrorists here one by one aren't you playing whack-a-mole. >> i don't know why we're discussing this, this was two years ago. it's remarkable timing of the arrest. it's remarkable the arrest happened while isis appeared. do you want to bet at some point this guy will blame the attack on a video perhaps in exchange

for a new prayer mat and goat porn? >> that was actually an interesting thing. they say that it's possible that he had access to a lot of information on the computers at the annex which to me means it was premeditated and, again, possibly the intelligence failure that led up to it. >> sure. either they should have left him on that boat for, i don't know a year or so to continue to interrogate him or bring him to gitmo. once he hit land he lawyered up, stopped cooperating. how much information that he has that could actually save some lives. you want to talk about winning the war on terror. bring him to gitmo. water board him. do what you have to do. find out what's going on. find out where the cells are. find out where the cells are in america. this is the way you win the war on terror. president obama once again says oh, let's, you know, islam --

law enforcement, islam is a religion of peace. he's so tone deaf on the war on terror. we'll never win that thing. >> bob you have two children in washington, d.c., are you fully comfortable with a target like ahmed abu khattala being in washington, d.c. rather than maybe being outside of it since we are in the middle of a war? >> i think it's fine. i don't talk about benghazi. it's over. but yes i feel fine about it. i don't think this guy will break out and go harm my kids. the other thing, one other thing i will say the idea there was some sensitive information in that consulate is absolutely nuts. nobody would put sensitive information in that consulate when it was under attack like that. >> didn't the prosecution team leak that out, kimberly? >> should we let this guy go? let's let him go. take him in as a boarder at your apartment. >> sentence him to life in prison and leave it at that. >> why should he get life in prison. he should get the death penalty. >> i don't believe in the death

penalty. >> i rather him not get the death penalty. i rather him sit over there and eventually if life gets tough enough for him he'll start to talk. >> from what they say he didn't talk and never going to talk. >> we have to fight. >> i don't want to lose the war on terror. >> no, but it's going to be ongoing. >> right. >> this guy in a jail clammed up is not helpful or beneficial to our side. >> i don't want them to be more motivated to kill us than we are to stop them. the passivity of thinking there's nothing to say, it was two years ago, it doesn't cut it for me. >> next on "the five" it looks like greg has another career to add to his very impressive resume. screen writer. he'll tell you all about the new flick he scripted last night. sounds pretty scary. bring your popcorn. >> i scripted it.

is there any treatment for entitlebots. how do you unbrainwash. >> good luck. you need to hire special forces to protect you because the very suggestion of taking away people's free stuff -- they don't understand that concept any more. people feel unless you give me the perfect job with the perfect this and that i don't want it. i want you to give me everything else free too. america, a nation of gators. nobody wants to reach into their pockets, can't reach in there to buy my coffee, can't reach in this to get my own birth control. come on. >> bob, i'm going to show you -- >> bob is an entitlebot. >> this is what seth rogan had to say. it says the people at hobby lobby are a-holes and those who voted to let them be a-holes are also a-holes. he really thought about this.
