that's just me. hello, everyone, i'm dana, along with kimberly, bob and greg, and this is "the five." it's a new year and a new era is set to begin in washington. the 114th congress convenes tomorrow in full republican control. and while gop lawmakers and the president have pledged to work together on issues like free trade and overhauling our tax system. there will be plenty of clashes ahead over highly contested ones like immigration and health care. so what should republican strategy be for 2015? here's incoming senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> when the american people are

elected by the government. they're not saying they don't want anything done what they are saying they want things done in the political center what both sides can agree on. what i hope senate republicans will present to the country is the conservative right of center governing majority serious people elected in serious times to try to get results. >> okay, we are kicking off the year with something new. the last two years in congress nothing really happened. there's no governing so to speak, no legislation was able to get on the floor. really no way to run a railroad. i find it amazing that regular order or getting back to the normal course of business is actually the number one agenda item. >> that's good, as you point out, the 113th congress was the least effective and prolific in history. so they want to get back to getting things done.

the keystone pipe line the making the way to the --. >> there's about $2 trillion sitting in offshore bank accounts ithat have already been taxed by foreign countries. to bring back the money that's already been taxed, so the corporations keep the money over there. bring it back here give them a tax break, give them a holiday say in the next two years, you bring it back we won't charge you tax on it. that's a stimulus plan in and of itself. i don't think it's partisan i think both sides should have some agreement on that stuff. whether it will get to the president's desk and whether or not he's going to veto it. that's the way it's going to be. >> there's nothing senators and new members in the house and a

few democrats, but there's a ton of pent up energy kimberly by people who have been waiting and trying to actually get something done in the legislative process. so what you see happening in terms of the rush to try to a flurry of active. >> look, i've got the ideas and we're going to put it forward. and i like the ideas there's renewed energy and renewed vigor to get something done. what's really going to poison the well is obama with the pen. if he's going to sit there and be an obstructionist, it's going to be a drain of kind of working on any kind of bipartisan things together. when they have votes to block the pipeline, that's something that will be great for the economy. it should be a no-brainer. >> president obama is in a great position to get a lot of things done, but is he in the mood to

get those things done? >> no question he's in the mood. >> in the last two years, he has only vetoed bills twice. another part of it i understand was they would use that money for american jobs and invest in american capital. to make the pipeline out of u.s. made steel. and the gas you get out of it is usually in the united states. and that bill i these obama will sign it. >> democrats actually maybe not have done that in the past. i somewhere always thought that this keystone pipeline is going to go ahead. >> e let's get greg's reaction

from this what perplexing remark. >> republican congress says this is a jobs bill. that's really not true at all. by most estimates, it will create several thousand construction jobs and only 35 permanent jobs. why create a very few jobs, with the dirtiest of energy from tar sands when you can create tens of thousands more clean jobs using wind and solar. in conclusion, we will have enough votes to sustain a presidential veto. >> you almost have to admire his audacity. rebel the stimulus bill that they -- that has all those shovel ready jobs that the president admitted weren't so shovel ready. these are jobs that you can see coming down the pike. >> he keeps calling it temporary. aren't all of these jobs temporary. isn't the winchester mystery house, where you keep building on to rooms. people in california know what i mean. they're saying they're going to delay this because of environmental -- on

environmental grounds. what about the other 2.5 million miles of pipeline in the united states that carries oil and gas and sewage. oil pipelines are 70 times safer in transporting oil than trucks. when you use trucks, four times as many people are killed and they actually move a very small it. so it's definitely safer. i would travel by pipeline if i could. >> you could probably fit on it. >> but i wanting to finish this. he's coming out against creating jobs. and his reason is it's only a few jobs. what if you create jobs? what's wrong with that? even if it's 35 -- >> they refer the wind and solar. >> there are a lot more jobs than have been createded. >> to the pipeline in the united states mainly goes under ground s is the keystone pipeline mainly going to be under ground? >> some of it is under ground

and some of it is bo. >> some of it is above to protect the swrooirmt. >> they're actually rerouting pipelines around areas that people are afraid to put them in the ground so they'll around it and keep it above ground. first of all, it's not a jobs bill, chuck schumer it's a jobs project. it's an economic stimulus project. stop calling it a bill or a law. forget it, that's not what this is. 800,000 barrels of oil per day that are going to come down from canada. just think about the economic effects of that. you're bringing, what, what is this 32$32 million per day just in oil and then it turns into refining, transportation, re electricity, shipping, the jobs of just creating the pipeline may be 18,000 15000, call them temporary, once the oil gets here, the jobs could be -- billions upon billions of economic activity and billions of tax dollars as well. >> what about using all the gas

in the united states? >> that's a great idea. all for it. >> let me ask you kimberly, on this point that the democrats have on the objection due to environmental concerns you heart chuck schumer say it's the dirtiest of energy sources. this oil will end up on the market, whether it comes through the united states and the keystone pipeline or canada decides to do it another way, it is going to go out into the world. why do the democrats get away with trying to say that they are so for american jobs when -- but at the same time, so concerned about climate change when instead we could do it better and cleaner here in the united states if we brought the jobs here. >> there's the hypocrisy right there. first of all being against jobs to beginning with by saying oh, well diminishing it, that's not that many jobs. and environmental concerns, we know we do it better and safer. whose team are you playing for? do you wake up every morning and toxic garbage spills out of your mouth, if anti-economy is

anti-american, i don't understand. and it's anti-environmental is what i'm understanding. >> bob, if this bill does pass the senate, do you think president obama will veto it? >> if it has the u.s. steel provision and it has the gas used in the united states object, and i believe those -- >> how can gas only be used in the united states? >> because you can say -- >> does everybody put up a barrier that says you may not use this to create any products? >> can i give republicans anything to go for that? here's why you produce the gasoline, you refine the oil, put it in the tank and if you want to ship gas or oil somewhere else. ship another barrel that has already been refined. >> it's a nice political amendment to go on to get people to go forward. >> if obama can cave that easily to his principles that easily, i would be all for it. >> another thing is happening, and that is the election for

speaker of the house, this happens every time there's a new congress. interestingly, speaker boehner has drawn two opponents in this race, we're going to see a little bit more about that. no election of a speaker has gone beyond the first ballot when a republican from massachusetts won re-election on the ninth ballot. it would be quite a feet for louie gomer to try and unseat mr. boehner. >> we have heart from a lot of republicans that, gee, i will vote for somebody besides speaker boehner. there's nobody else to vote for. well that changed yesterday, when ted yoho said i'm putting my name out there, i'll be a candidate for speaker, and i'm putting my name out there also to say i'm another candidate for speaker. >> we have got three candidates for speaker.

>> here's a smart idea, you just decidedly -- let's unseat our speaker. that's like firing your doctor as he delivers a very healthy baby. here's a piece of advice, certain activities in your party make the other party happy don't do it. don't do it. i know that people have some problems with boehner, he's orange, he cries he's like a weak tangerine, but the fact is he's a serious duty, hede and he's a narrow target. if there's anything we have learned, republicans and conservatives have to be more elusive and they have to be a finer target they've got to, i guess, be more sophisticated about how they articulate their ideas and i think taking risks at this point is stupid. >> you need to go on a target diet. >> you got to be a small target. >> you couldn't ask for two better people. you say that the democrats love it.

louie gomer is a nice guy, but he can barely speak english. >> you're the one to talk. >> the only problem with y oho, can you imagine saying that every day? >> there are people who are dissatisfied the current speaker, so you've got to have some kind of discussion and dialogue and perhaps it's going to push some movement, maybe if they're not even successful and at least to get the door open pushing forward with the stronger agenda that the american people strongly supported in the midterm election and the gallup poll want this more stronger robust republican platform to go forward. >> 15 votes. >> he probably won't. >> there are so many people who want -- that this #fire boehner they just want him out. i hate to say this it's probably not go to happen bockb's

probably right, if they get ten or 11 dissenting votes. however, i think just having this discussion, is at least a heads -- it should be at least a heads up to john boehner and some of the other -- you want to call them centrist republicans that there is a voice on the right that needs to be heard and maybe just the fact that wire having this discussion will wake him up. >> and the people who even have a chance to be successful and be in this position with a larger majority is because john boehner raised $100 million for candidates all across america and increased the majority. >> greg is right, he's an adult, he knows what he's doing he knows how to play politics right. and it underscores how tiny the right is. >> there a feel who come from very right wing district who is will still vote for boehner,

they don't want to appear it's a divided party and they'll stick to what works for him in the last couple of years. >> i don't think that's the issue, bob, we can do the same thing with the hard left. you have a lot of hard left over there that has destroyed our party. i think the gop agenda is three things. no symbolic battles, every battle that you have has to be about substance, you want to win something, you want to win you, don't want to make amgt of noise and lose no internal divisions or divides. you want everybody together and no stunts designed to placate cable news so you can get on and do five minutes and joke about something. >> then what will ke r wewe talk about? all right, next more police officers turn their backs on mayor de blasio's new york this time at the funeral for winjian

lu. and oprah winfrey has become a target of the protests herself.

family of blue. for coming to today's service. >> beautifully done. the fbi also spoke at the

service, james comby was there representing the obama administration. >> 116 police officers were killed in this country in the last year, a shocking increase from 2013. i cannot understand evil, i cannot explain evil. i will not try. but what i believe with all my heart is our obligation is to make something good come from the tragedy so that evil does not win the day. i believe that our obligation is to do good. >> another powerful moment and now this just in, as the mayor of new york city de blasio spoke, along with the police commissioner. members of the nypd turning their back when the mayor spoke. >> they were disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line, they were disrespectful to the families that lost a loved one. >> what was the need in the

middle of that ceremony to engage in a political action? i don't get it. and i'm very disappointed. very disappointed in those who did not. spochbtd to my request. the cover stories in so many of the papers focussed on their actions, focused on them the selfishness of that action, the selfishness of it. >> surprising many of them that were expecting many different comments to come out in that press conference today, calling the fellow members of the nypd who turned their backs at the ceremony, you see it in the picture there, they were being disrespectful to the families of the slain officers. the mayor did put out a memo to all the police officers of the city asking them specifically to not do that during the ceremony. >> i think de blasio should have

just shut up when it came to that he should have referred to bill bratton. i don't know why bill bratton is doing that. he's a tough guy, he's one of the best cops in the country, bar none. it just feels like he's abandoning his police force to try to kind of echo what bill de blasio is saying and it's terrible. say what you need to say and move on. look at the pictures of lou's widow when she's crying at the funeral. look at the pictures of ramos's widow and her son holding on to her back crying. those are not okay. it's not okay what sharpton has done, what obama has done, it's not oh what sharpton has done with de blasio, that's why they're not okay. i just don't understand them backing him so much. >> when you saw that moving picture, that woman, then you see these cops outside, they get the front page. >> it doesn't matter, they did it during a funeral.

>> de blasio was very complementary by the way. >> concerning the mayor's statement, all of my communications instincts tells me they were going the wrong thing. because when you're in a position of leadership, your role is to not try to exacerbate tex, tension but to let it go. i have sent a memo to the members of the police force they know exactly how i feel we're going to focus on the families and moving on. this will continue for several month days. >> or longer. >> the police force, they obviously have a grievance, maybe they didn't deal with it appropriately in the minds of the mayor and the police commissioner, but i would not have exacerbated this. i would let it go. >> i agree that was really shocking to me that they came out about this, greg.

>> at least they didn't wear jeans to the funeral. anyway, something he did. you can look it up. winjian lu is an interesting story. he came to the united states at 12 years old and he wanted to be a cop. so he came here to take, he didn't come to make. and it shows you that people that come to this country often are made of stronger stuff than the people he ends up serving. we need more people like that to come here. maybe they can serve as an example for the people that are here. you know forever since ferguson this has been mad about race, but suddenly we ignore race when it doesn't suit you, he was asian. we don't talk about that because race doesn't matter in that particular instance. my advice to let all race go so we don't see it. but i don't think that ever happen. and what about crime. we never talk about the crime. and the crime is always crime

is falling in the united states. what we see right now are violent acts by unstable individuals you have men and women pushing people in front of subways. this is what we used to call in insane, now we call them homeless heros. we don't have the power to do that anymore, so now we have the ticking time bombs going around, shooting cops and putting bombs in subways because we don't have the balls. >> the exceptions are the mentally unstable dangerous felons. oprah had some toufrl, interesting comments talking about the civil rights movement and not seeing any leadership in this current racial unrest in america. take a listen. >> it's wonderful to see all across the country people doing it.

but what i really am looking for is some type of leadership to come out of this to say, this is what we want. this is what we want. this is what has to change and these are the steps that we need to take to make these changes and tlg what we're willing to do to get it. >> bob, those comments surprise you? >> they don't surprise me, she's exactly right. her new movie "selma" is coming out in a time when mr. king was the leader of the civil rights movement. >> i don't understand the criticism of oprah for those comments. i don't think she can be faulted for caring i think she cares a lot. she's done a ton. i think she's been a good ambassador for not just the black community, but for all offense america, everyone loved oprah and i think she's got every right to say what she has, and i actually wish that more people like her would talk and that would basically get this

guise al sharpton off the front page. >> movements suffer when they sacrifice facts over cynicism. which is what's happening right now, we're looking at actual facts. if you do not agree with him if you do not give his business money. he will come after you. he will pick at you. that's what it is. >> all right anti-police protests ss ss ss aren't just targeting war heros. wait

the protesters interrupted a town hall where a medal was to be awarded to a 100-year-old veteran who served five tours during world war ii. he crashed his plane in the pacific but they crashed his

moment. how brave. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> they're the real heroes not so -- he had to ask permission to talk. >> let's show a little bit of respect for this occasion. now i'm going to accept this on behalf of all the people who died in world war ii. they are the true heroes. >> and my how we have fallen. meanwhile black brunch

demonstrators stormed restaurants to target white faces to protest police violence. they yelled at diners quoting every 28 hours a black person in america is killed by police. this is a figure debunked more times than the loch ness monster. meanwhile one black american is murdered by a black offender every four hours, dwarfing theirflated schants. call the protesters rude but they ignore the -- is there a person brunching in manhattan who disagrees with that? but more important there isn't a cop alive that's not struggling either. if brack lives didn't matter to cops, why in god's name does their presence safeve black lives? the stats speak for themselves. it's clear black lives matter. it may be more to the cops than

the coed tweeting their latest proud selfie. >> so, bobby. uh-huh. . >> why are they so rude? is it any cause justifies any behavior? >> it's despicable -- the way that that's described, is people on the left i find that despicable. you'll finding a very very marginal number on the left. >> oregon, right? and new york, try that in oklahoma, or kansas or texas, or some places in the mitt. walk in on a group there and see what happens.

the problem is, any way you slice it it's the liberal left. these people -- and that's right. where are the voices, where are the leaders? >> first of all, the senator the congressman spoke out himself, they wish to talk, four or five members of the black caucus said something about it. i mean maybe you -- it doesn't represent the left. you got to get that out of your head. every time you -- and say that represents the left. >> when someone does something, a fringe far right does something. >> ferguson represents the right. >> kim bery, you're our brench expert. these protests -- have they been to a brunch? >> puerto ricans brunch too. very festively as a matter of fact. i think this was just the height

of disrespect. the calls in from the mayor and bratton, this man who has fought and served our country was trying to honor all of those who have fallen in world war 12ii and instead they destroyed it because their facts don't even support their chance. that's the problem. >> you know, what my theory is they learned this on campus. they talked to mobilize. >> where else do they get this? >> that's my point somewhere they're getting this type of leadership. >> liberal groups think on campuses. >> oh, come on. >> you wouldn't get a liberal group on a campus that would condone that? >> when a conservative goes to spike, they throw pies at them. >> it wasn't five people. it was like 100 people. that's a lot. no one in that group says oh, maybe we shouldn't do this to a 100-year-old woman. >> maybe they should apologize. i doubt that will. >> also can i tell you? i don't like brunch. >> you got to wait for the table because no one wants to get up.

when people are brunching, they always they look at you while you wait and go you're not getting at the table. >> all right i will you get every table. >> next on the five geraldo rivera has a new boss and he's trying not to get fired. but can

welcome back. time for the fastest six minutes on television. seven expaidous minutes. the dallas cowboys rallied from behind and stole the game from a very hot detroit lions team. for some of us watching the real game, the cowboys owner's box was apparently a very round and

very happy new jersey governor chris christie handing out hugs like you haven't seen since hurricane sandy. >> it doesn't mean i change who i root for. we haven't had a heck of a lot of success for a long time as cowboys fans. what are they angry at me for? nobody yelling at me? we're losing to the giants the last game of the season, we missed the playoffs. so i'm not listening to any of these people who are giving me a hard time. >> i get a little over the political correctness. you got to love who you love. he's entertaining. this is a christie moment i love. the real technical issue is the call. >> chris christie hugging like a

goodie school kid. >> he's like the orneryiest man in america. the question is he was fat in that picture. >> whoa whoa, whoa. bob is calling chris christy horny and fat. >> i admit to being horny, that's not a joke. i said that chris christy is ornery. ornery. >> i swear you sate horny. >> he did say it. but that's not what he meant. >> "celebrity apprentice" kicks off last night at nbc but it

was a fox celebrity who stole the show. >> i couldn't help but notice on those posters there were two pictures of you. are you suggesting that you're not -- >> if i thought it would sell more pies, i would put three pictures up of myself. >> geraldo raised 163,000 along with other celebrity friends. he's a force to be reconed with? >> i think what's great about geraldo is the charities that he's chosen, speedo and suntan lotion which is great, and also nair. >> and candid camera. >> it was my life i didn't have enough betrayal, obsession, back stabs, double dealing. i had no idea lester. i had done a reality show and i

knew how hyper competitive it was, i didn't realize how cut throat it was. >> i like these business competition shows chblgs i like talent shows, but i think this actually teaches people things, and it gives them a sense of risk taking. it's okay to take a risk and you might be able to succeed wildly and geraldo is a great judge. >> i love it. i think geraldo is fantastic, he's fun. listen, all day long my money is on him. >> and we end the fastest with a sad note. stewart scott, one of the best in the broadcasting business, sports or otherwise, passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. here's a piece of a very moving

speech he delivered just six months ago. >> i'm not losing, i'm still here i'm fighting, i'm not losing but i got to amend that. when you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer. you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live. >> scott was snarky, witty and also had great insight into players and strategy. >> i think he changed the way of broadcasting sports as much as howard cosell did back in his day. and he understood sports. >> he packed a lot of life into what ultimately was a life that was cut off way too early. >> that is oddly, and i say this as somebody who lost both parents to cancer, the only

beauty of cancer is that it allows you to settle things with the victim with the person who has it because it gives you time to realize that life is temporary. i always have sympathy for the accidental death i always think about on 9/11 when people left their apartments in a fight with their wife or their husband or their kids ant didn't come back because they didn't have that time to settle that. >> k.g. he leaves behind two young daughters. >> he does, i'm happy to call him a fringedend, he's a great guy, he's going to be really really missed. >> coming up, a lot of things can go wrong when you pop open a bottle of champagne.

test

now to -- little sailor only managed to get out of the plane in an upside down aircraft but she walked nearly a mile through the woods in freezing temperatures with shorts on and made it to a home of somebody who was within a mile of the home and he then called 911, but

she survived. remarkable. >> this is a story that everybody in america has been wrapped -- enraptured by because, you think about the miracle of her survival and also what god does to try to in encourage, at 7 years old to be able to get up. i just hope that her memories are soothed through the years and she remembers the good time she is had with her family. >> it's just unbelievable the human spirit and what you can do. her family looking down on her from heaven and i hope she has that great family to take care of her. there are summer homes so people that don't live year round, so it was amazing that she was able to find mr. wilkins, larry wilkins who took her in and called 911. >> her mom, her sister and her

dad dies she's 7, she's going to have this memory hopefully time fades that memory very quickly for her, and a lot of people praying for her. in fact a lot of people have offered to help out. we probably should put something up there on how to help out. >> that's a good idea. i'm going to let greg in

okay, it's time now for one more thing. we have a great time on the commercial break. we're going to do one more thing for you. i was in south carolina for the last several days, through the holidays, i want to share some pictures of my good friends and my grandchildren, my grand twins, they call me grand ma america, macy english in savannah georgia. this next one, peter and jasper in the side car, if you look, jasper is very good at checking for traffic. twins on a dock and this one i

love. this is scott and millie standville. we loved meeting her in south carolina, we had a great time. i had a great holiday. >> no wonder you've been gone so long. you have 100,000 more pictures. >> erick, you're next. >> so, minimum wage went up in 24 states. it has nothing to do with job losses, there are plenty of economists that would disagree with that. take this for example, this is tastes of life restaurant, it was a pastor who ran a nonprofit restaurant when michigan raiseded it's minimum wage from 8.50 -- minimum wage rate hikes do cost jobs, period. >> on to the bubbly. well, so there was an awesome bit of television in canada

where we had a wine expert who was trying to show how to properly save a bottle of champagne, with a sword remove the wire cage part first. >> it's not about cutting the glass, it's about hitting that point nice and anywayly and following through. >> okay. >> you go, one two- -- oh! that is not how it's supposed to be done. >> thank god she's not a rabbi. oh, yeah, the good citizens of -- sorry. the good citizens of oklahoma and there are many of them have to be appalled at their state legislature, because there's a bunch of right wing republican people. one of them introduced a bill. listen to this, you get a $500 fine for wearing a hoodie in a public place.

>> wait a minute i hope you get sick, all night lock. >> all i can say is is that the biggest demographic that buys those hoods, the senator that did that you might want to take a look at that. >> i'll be appearing at the funny bone in new jersey. >> did somebody send you some organic natural cold rem dwis. >> no, because they don't work. >> that's it for us. special report is next. >> it is tuesday january 6th. a fox news lart. two new york police officers shot overnight. >> i was in my house haired four

gun shots one right after the other. >> the massive manhunt right now and an update on how the officers are doing. >> new year new congress. lawmakers returning to capitol hill but not before a white house threat. >> the president is going to start the new year by announcing action. >> you are saying he is getting ready to do more indicative action? >> is the president making things worse before it even gets started? ready for rocket. space has an unprecedented landing that could pave the way for affordable space travel. >> good morning to you.

you are watching "fox & friends first" on a tuesday morning. i am ainsley earhardt. >> i am leah gabrielle ifn for ainsley earhardt. >> -- heather childers. >> two cops shot while chasing an armed robbery suspect. >> both officers are expected to survive their wounds but the incident heightens the awareness of how dangerous being a police officer can be. two new york city cops shot in the line of duty. investigators say they were wounded as they responded to a robbery at a grocery store in the bronx. one of two suspects was shot in the arm the other in the chest. two suspects fled on foot. >> i looked in my house and i was like
