all right, i'll see you tonight. hello everyone i'm kimberly, along with dana bob and greg. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is the five. opening day on capitol hill for the 114th congress republicans are now in full control for the first time in eight years. john boehner easily won a third term as speaker of the house today, despite some defections and challenges from members of his party. >> friends, colleagues, countrymen, especially the people of ohio's eighth congressional district. thank you for sending me here. as speaker all i ask and frankly expect is that we

disagree without being disagreeable. in return i pledge to help each of you carry out your duties. >> and in the senate, mitch mcconnell was sworn into a sixth term by joe biden and delivered his first remarks as leader. >> many of us took the oath this afternoon, 13 for the first time. and a new republican majority sended it's new responsibilities. we recognize the enorm mittity of the task before us. we know a lot of hard work awaits. we know many important opportunities await as well. i'm really optimistic about what we can accomplish. >> president obama knows he's going to face much stronger opposition from this congress, but he offers these words about boehner and mcconnell earlier. >> i'm very much looking forward to working with you, i'm confident that there are going to be areas where we disagree and there will be some pitch battles and we just have to make sure that we focus on those

areas where we can make some progress together. >> all right, so what do you think about those common -- you're laughing already. >> you're right, he's probably happy. boehner was so confident he didn't even show up for the vote. i'm watching the vote and one of the first names is john boehner, john boehner, he didn't show up so he knew he didn't need the vote. however there was a group that said they wanted to push back, one of the congressmen got 13 votes, louie gomer got three votes, a senator even got a vote. it was interesting to watch. the message to john boehner is that there is a group that wants to be heard and they want to push back on some of the stuff. those 300 or so senate bills that have sat on harry reid's desk arelikely to come to a vote. >> we shouldn't buy this media

created conflict between the right and the far right. because they only do that to take these spotlights off the left. so they always like whenever there was any kind of disagreement within the republicans, that's a huge deal. the conflict isn't about the right and the far right. it's between the persuasive and turn likely. the leadership that must compel not repel. so you're looking for not differences in degrees of ideology. but skills in seducing the public. so it's never been about whether or not louie gomer is more of a right winger than john boehner. it's who is more persuasive to the public. who can take your ideas and formulate them and make sense. u out of them and seduce the public. voting against boehner is a fruitless mission. it's like a dog chasing another dog on a tv. you're not going to catch it. so instead, you should invokedevote those energies to where you can win. >> the fact is one of the

republicans said that now john boehner is free of that group of people that could stymie him in negotiations. he doesn't have to worry about they r louie gomers in the world. i think obama in his own way was trying to anyway, and in fact i don't think obama feels badly about not having democrats on the hill in the majority. i think he feels more comfortable in a way having now him versus the whole world. >> how he can be the victim. now he's the victim. >> one thing i learned before. i didn't know that you could like actually vote for somebody who's not a member of the body, so you could have voted for the rock which would have been awesome. our lou dobbs. >> lou dobbs probably would have gotten some votes. >> i don't think that boehner is a vengeful person, so when there's a suggestion that now

he's free of these rabble-rousers that want to vote against him, he's just not like that. one of the things he said today is growing up in a house with 11 children, one of 1 is was very good training to be speaker of the house. both mcconnell and -- actually mcconnell reid pelosi and boehner, the four members of leadership. have -- they know how to run a railroad. i do think that the most divisive era of recent history was under harry reid. that is the going to change perhaps, with mitch mcconnell and it start this is week, where believe it or not, you're going to get to actually have a vote on a piece of legislation. and there will be amendments and this should not be a novel concept, but that's not how it's been the last six years and it actually might help president obama get some things worked out. as going to be tough on these guys. u now he has the luxury of

having enough votes out of his caucus to go where before he had to stop when the very conservative people said no. now he can go and negotiate. and i think he's a very god negotiator. >> on what a gop -- what gop control means. >> republicans are going to have a chance to show how retro actively for the last six years everything has stopped, they effectively acted as a shield to look like obama wasn't the one stopping stuff, now he's going to be exposed because the days of hiding under harry reid's desk is over. >> who wants to be under harry reed's desk. >> harry reid is one of the few people that looks like his name.

he looks like a harry reed. you got a black aye? >> he's kind of an exercise. >> he was exercising and a piece of equipment broke and he actually really hurt himself. >> that's what i tell the guy at the er every weekend. i fell on my exercise equipment. >> if you said it, i would not believe it. but because it was harry reid, i do. >> what do you think, bobby, about goppal control alcontrol, what do you expect to see? >> i thought it was a very interesting turn of words that the press secretary used. he said this piece of legislation, referring to what was passed in the house the last time. the president said he would veto it. if the bill is like that he would not sign it is what he said. there's a big difference between those. it can become a pocket veto or a

pocket law. i'm not sure that if -- in the end i still contend that there will be a keystone pipeline. it's almost the same legislation, the senate legislation that they tried toy ed toied to get to him which never got to him because of harry reid. >> listen make that deal because once you bring a kbarl of oil into in from canada to here, you put it in a tank our buddy kraud hammer u said it was a stilly amendment. >> he said we have a surplus in this country, we don't we still import 38% of our oil. >> he said it was a silly

argument probably because of what i'm saying. as long as you don't separate them, this is the greatest deal you could ever get, get democrats on board, i think they have. >> i can confirm for you that if this bill passes this congress the president wouldn't sign it either. >> let me just make one point about this. this is the bill without the schumer amendments on it. i do not think that republicans are going to vote against u.s. steel. being used in the project. >> that's not even the question, it will pass the senate if president obama signs it.

>> i think he will is the answer. >> the white house press secretary just said he would not. >> he's just talking about that bill. >> we'll see if they decide to change. it is different. he used to say that he would veto, now he's saying he wouldn't sichblt to me that's like voting the president. which is something that president obama did a lot. take a starntdnd, if you're going to veto it make a distinction. >> it's interesting to me to watch out democrats all of a sudden become economic isolationists. on the one hand they want to give president obama authority to two fast track trades. on the other hand they want keystone to gain american jobs. now maybe that law passes and maybe that's fine because i agree with you you can't distinguish between canadian an american oil and it's just basically a political month by the democrats might be one worth taking. >> what they're protexting is

their political behind. >> who? the democrats. >> because they want to vote they're just looking for -- >> eric, i tell you you're getting better and better. >> thanks, bob. nothing's changed it's still the same keystone pipeline. >> you're probably right. >> this is actually a small issue in the greater scheme of things. we have got millions and millions of pipelines, this is all to appease the greens. this is what obama is doing. there's no logic behind it. in defensible. there's no problem with the pipeline, you've got millions of miling oute ings out of it. it leads to my advice for 2 incoming republican freshman. you realize that you have to live in a world that is dictated by establishment liberal media in which some people will be targets and some people won't. michael grimm will have to resign, but charlie wrangle won't. that means as incoming freshman

you will always be a target. so your first job as you come in as a republican is to minimize the bull's-eye. that means to work sideways, do your job and avoid awkward issues, social commentary that embarrass you and other gestures. think like your adversary, how do they want to destroy you? >> we have some probability to keep the same things that cannot possibility work out. i think there can be a trade in the tax deal. i think eric is getting the -- from american companies overseas back here. will fly with the democrats, it's a good idea. i think there will be a trade bill. if president obama signs it. >> now we know these things will probably get through the house and to the senate. >> i think he will sign that. >> they're going to get to his desk and the pressure is going to be on it. dana's saying it's the presence. coming up, it's happened again, there's been another attack on nypd officers eric

has the details, and no developments on the latest shooting in new york city. nec.

the two nypd police officers are thanningkfully okay. three people were taken into custody and two have you been charged. this surveillance video of one of the suspects, that's what you're looking at right there. mayor bill de blasio has been blamed for inciting tensions against his own police force. today he addressed the shooting using a much different tone. >> these officers did something that was extraordinarily brave this evening. and they did it as part of their commitment. this is another indicator of the dangers that our officers face in the line of duty. we depinned on them to keep this whole city safe. >> so yesterday we heard de

blasio and frank debrat-- pointing some thingsers -- >> two cops working plain clothes detail to help patrol and keep safe a minority neighborhood, high crime area, shot thank got did they not use their lives. but once again putting their lives on the line for the community. not caring about what color anybody is in the neighborhood just trying to keep people safe. now look at the circumstances here, and these are bad guys. kent has ten charges -- >> the officers identified themselves as officers, even though they were in plain clothes, yet they got shot. the environment in new york it seems like the bad guys have

absolutely lost respect for de blasio. >> first of all, i didn't think i would connect the two of those things together. i don't think u you'll hear another bad thing about cops from de blasio. >> we heard one yesterday. >> this is going to be the last one. >> you watch he'll be there. this is a politician trying to cover up for a terrible mistake which started with i told my kid not be feel safe around police. >> and he made it worse yesterday. >> still, what i'm saying s that was one that he needs to cover back up and i think he's going to do the best he possibly can to do that. >> do you think the environment is ripe for more of these cops being targeted? >> i hope not. but listening to the fbi director, june told me yesterday, when kimberly talked about his statement at the funeral, in which he said, there has been an increase, they don't know why and they're concerned about it. one thing that they could do in fact mayor de blasio could do this, they could increase the penalty for crimes against cops

and whether it be any sort of attempt, attempted murder or actually murder then i think that you have to increase the penalty to try to deter the behavior. >> and like james comey, i can't sprain it either zblrmt i can. >> to bob's point how you shouldn't connect these incidents on cops together. but the media has been doing that with cops for the past two years. every time there's an isolated incident in one local place and they connect it to another one over here. so it's all cops. so we're just doing what they're doing doing. there's 75% fewer stop and frisk going on and you have a 30% rise in shootings, that's what an idiot would call an idiot. a 13% rise in shootings are not in their white neighborhoods, they don't live where people are getting shot. overall crime in approximate new

york city are down 4% but shootings are up 13%. is it possible that milder crimes have gone down as thugs have moved on to greater crimes because of no stop and frisk. there is now easy to use a gun. >> that's the connection to make. >> what he's saying is he's created an environment where he -- >> crime should go down in one area, and crime go down in another. >> there's some people who don't like stop and frisk whether you're in a white nabtds or not, there's something wrong with being stopped and frisked. i don't like. >> i don't mind it. i pay for it actually. al sharpton has decided that now is the time that officer ramos and lu are burred now -- k.g. your thoughts on -- can you give

it a rest. >> i don't know, can you take a long vacation too another planet? maybe that's like the sooner he's out of the public area, the better. because he really has just served tkpaser bate this situation, to really increase racial tensions he's a disservice to the civil rights movement. >> is de blasio sharpton's race puppet? >> well, everybody easterified of sharpton, because he can call you a racist he can pick at you. i have an idea there should be an exchange program. have reverend al ride with the police in neighborhoods where police do the most work. and conversely let cops hang out with obama and not pay taxes. >> how is he walking aroundlike this? how is he having access to the mayor's office? to the president's office. >> to the white house. owing the american people 4.5

million kbukbuckss. >> i don't understand the white house's willingness to have him there under those pretensions. that would have been my recommendations. >> can we talk a little bit about what has been going on. sharpton sharpton's national action network has these meetings, these conferences. corporations sponsor these conferences, they get the big picture up there. >> they're not targeted. >> who perfected that? it was jesse jackson in the rainbow coalition. >> i've been subject to that kind of extortion myself. one thing we can do here first of all, you know, why don't we give sharpton a break? >> why? >> why are we talking about him? he's not going to change. he >> he deserves to be outed. >> you're talking about on the left. >> joe scarborough took apart

this whole issue and didn't have the guts to say one of your own hosts on your own network is perpetrating a lot of the racism that's going on. >> i'm going to take sharpton on vacation. >>like benghazi? >> you don't -- right? i mean bob doesn't want to talk about it, i get it we don't want to put him in a greater position, but it's important, nobody else is willing to do it because they're all afraid because they'll be targeted by him if they speak bad about him or tell the truth. >> some of the genoussgenouss --

harvard profess stores have their -- the same monstrosity

these jackasses foisted on american. the new cost offers mammograms for men, stuff these hacks were happy with when they were exempt from such nonsense. like michelle obama mandating couple squats for high schoolers while she enjoys a plate of fries, the greater good never includes them because the greater good sucks. so now we see the idiots that jonathan gruber has been referring to all along. they were his fellow freaks on the faculty. enjoy this, it really happens when an elitist enjoys the stinking bed they made. their outrage reveals their hypocrisy. it's like saying that paying taxing is patriotic unless you're al sharpton. here's why the professors are ticked.

their average -- think about what that means. that the singular marking of a modern academic is greed that paying their fair share means not paying at all. as liberals, they accrue luxuries they happily deny others. no wonder they're so upset. sunlight burns a vampire. >> so dp, the processor has called their new plan deplorable and deeply regressive. isn't that awesome? >> it sounds like something we said about obama care. >> exactly. i don't know if they thought they were above the fray. but i think i suppose what is going on is that what they really want, is a special carve out for the professors, where everybody else would be under single payer plan which is what they really wanted. but they would have the special care that only harvard professors would want.

but they're more equal than anyone would want. >> the average american's deductible is $200. theirs is $50. >> they're still ---harvard still ---harvard ---harvard found a way to be smart and extremely stupid at the same time. why did they read it before they had such a huge opinion on it. >> because they had to pass it before you could know what was in it. remember that. >> also because they thought they were going to get taken care of, they thought their guy had good tensions. was going to look after him. like he did for the unions, but you've been duped too. >> let me ask you, bob can you defend their outrage at all? they're basically eating a crap sandwich. >> i think it's wonderful. first of all, i think anybody

who's complaining about this because they're paying a bigger deductible and making that kind of money should shut up and recognize that people should show inand recognize. >> there's more, it's the cadillac tax. >> none of this is for free. >> they passed this they pushed it to get it passed. >> now they're complaining about it. >> they pushed back on all the things that we warned on fox. >> we warned oh my. >> oh, yeah, bob we taked about obama care quite a bit, all those things, to the promises that they were making. >> bob it's not taking credit it's the fact that when you were mocked by the establishment media for pointing out what was horribly wrong and that establishment suddenly realizes hoilly crap there's something horribly wrong when it affects them. >> i find it to be. i think it is good i think it

is working, i think people ought to pays more. if it were up to me to have the single payer plan. >> kimberly, this is another example of gross sifs heralding a program they never want implemented on themselves. >> absolutely, they don't, it's hypocritical, the problem is you know who's paying this? the middle class is the one who's suffering because there's people who are going to doctors across america and staying oh, no don't put that extra test or manager else in because they don't want to be forced to pay for something they can't afford. i worry about people who weren't going to be able to get tests and examinations done that could be life saving because this could be a real financial impact. >> you have to commend the "new york times" for actually writing this piece because it must have been incredibly hard for them to oust their comrades. >> in some ways i think it's delicious that any good journalist would want to report

on it. bob's making fun of them, too. that doesn't necessarily mean that they would want to go back to preobama care days is that what they really want is to go even further, to a single payer. there's a story in the usa today that has to deal with this. more businesses talking about hiring part-time workers to soften the impact. a part-time worker is not like a harvard professor they're not making $200,000 a year but they're being cut in hours so they don't have to get the obama care piece they're being forced into obama care, which is a sub par system. >> 43 seconds. all right, coming up does marriage make you happy or miserable? why not both. our answer is next.

vince vaughn -- is marriage really that bad? a new study shows that people who are married are generally more happy than people who are single. and if your spouse is your best friend, you have more satisfaction. a study about that. kimberly, you're not married at the moment. >> no. >> but you're not opposed to being married in the future? >> no. >> are we working on that. >> i'm very good at being married. of course, of course. i love being married. i think it's important to be part of a team and i like that connection that you have, right, that no matter what you're all

in for the other person. so the important thing is to get the right match. so i don't know. but i'm also happy single. >> and you figured out a way to make it with your ex-husband and taking care of ronan. >> yes, absolutely. >> one of the things about being married is can help you get through a midlife crisis. >> i already had my midlife crisis. >> are you sure you're not still going through it? >> that's not the point. some people are meant to be married and are happy with it. some of us are meant not to be married, i'm one of them and i'm happy not to be. they still move your crap around, they still ask where you've been, they still get on your back and i don't need it. >> eric, we know you're happily married so we don't have to go through that again. >> oh, my god.

>> you're in trouble. we already know that your marriage is good. we move on to this question that the state of marriage in america is way down. and just the economic issues surrounding it. there are facts about your well being and your health. and your income equality between people who are married and people who aren't. >> there are benefits and there should be more benefits. you want to solve some of the problems in america, and give them more tax benefits, you would probably keep people together longer. it would certainly help i think some of the social problems we got going on around here. we have a governor in new york that's not married and has been with this girl for a long time. isn't it time to put a ring on that woman's finger? >> i was saving the best for last. >> you haven't gone through your midlife crisis have you? >> i don't know it depends on how long i'll live.

that's the point, how do you know when your midlife crisis is? >> marriage is a self-imposed prison that frees you from other destructive pursuits. your life really doesn't start until you get married because it allows you to start thinking about other things that you were th the chase. once you get the chase over with you can start concentrate -- >> this constant conflict both sides feel it married men -- and single men seek comfort in real love. so no matter what site you're on, you're always going to be upset. i always said before, the key to a happy marriage is to seek beauty in the people you love and the ugliness in people you lust. >> one thing i will say about eric is he's persistent about

his wife. she could have done a lot better. >> the chase part? >> i like the chase part. >> you're going to tell me if you met the right girl tomorrow you wouldn't get married again. >> i wouldn't know what that meant. all i know is i don't want my stuff moved around and i don't want to be asked where i've been. >> i don't want to touch your stuff. >> he gets upset when i move his mug. then he touches all my things. >> the census bureau has been asking people about marriage and divorce but there's a movement that they are thinking about scrapping those questions and they have received about 800 written comments about this proposal. i think it's a bad idea. people on the right and the left think this is a bad idea. why can't we just ask the question and find out if you've been married or divorce. >> i have filled that out on forms a million times. >> i think that should probably go away.

>> people from the tea party are complaining about invasion of privacy. >> absolutely. they're responsible for my divorce. >> i think you are responsible for your divorce. >> he's responsible for a number of divorces. >> that's true. speaking of marriage, we want to wish a very happy anniversary to a very special couple. former president george h.w. bush are celebrating their 70th anniversary today. they married in 1945 and went on to have 16 grand children. the bushes are spending a quiet day at home alone together which seems perfect to me. happy anniversary to them from all of us at the five, we're back in a moment.

you have to excuse me. . >> longly the king.

dad? dad? come on. get up. >> now who would perpetrate something like that on kids? we're right back to walt disney, you're not old enough to remember old yeller. bambi, it's ridiculous. and kids have to watch this stuff. why don't you put something positive on. look at that poor little lion having to go and see if his daddy is all right or not. >> these things tell a story. and that's what they're supposed to do. >> you keep putting some things up on the screen, not sensical stuff. then i get it. but here's how to deal with adversity.

the purpose of this segmentment is a study done. fairy tales are too bleak for kids, but is it a good learning tool? >> thank you for bailing me out on that. is it a good learning tool? >> do i agree with the study, no. i agree with eric, because cautionary tales are good one, it teaches kids that you will experience someone that dies and there is sadness and it's the myth and the fantasy that helps you deal with it in life in reality later on. >> absolutely. so many of the mampb characters. and a study pointed this out. that dying is very sad, and ronan said are you going to die? it's very traumatic. i'm not kidding, when you sit there with a child and they see the parents and it makes you

feel a sense of anxiety about worried about being abandoned. i'm all for a little bit of like happy ending fairie tales. >> my daughter had the same type of reaction when the lion died. my daughter was like, daddy are you going to die? >> >> the study says that these fairy tales are bleak. has anybody read the bible? when i was a kid, i was terrified by that book. for years i thought i was going to go to hell. there's more gore in the book than in any tony hooper movie. the bible's got some scary

stuff. >> if you have kids, i don't know, maybe four to 7 or 8 years old. there's a book called the spider and the fly. it's one of the best books kouk read to a young kid that teaches exactly that lesson don't trust, stranger danger. phenomenal story. >> i'm tired of strangers getting a bad rap. >> it's all about people you know. i'm telling you, that's exactly right. when you sit with your kid in front of this. the point is this nemo's parents eaten by the barracuda. we win.

it's time now for one more thing. greg do you have anything decent? >> this is always an exciting thing for me when i unearth some unusual footage and i actually found some tape of dana parino enjoying a winter walk over the holidays. >> how cool. that's an awesome outfit. >> so cute. >> so cute. oh, no. that was a close one. oh, no. >> did anybody help you up after that, dana, were you okay? >> my forehead froze to the groungd ground, i was out there for hours. >> enough with that kimberly. >> i'm so sorry. >> this footage of our panda

down in washington, look, she's rolling around in the snow. her first birthday was last august and my daughter hauled me down to watch that thing and i think it's nice it's nine. but i'm always jumping on the chinese, i want to thank china for do that they provided us with the pang da. >> that panda hacked into that computer. >> at least it gives some people some pleasure. thank you, china. >> thank you, china. >> i don't know what to say. >> that's a weird situation. okay, eric. >> so vice president joe biden had a tough afternoon on the hill today. here we see joe, take it, roll it, joe. this is going to go for kids on senator chris coome s's daughter. 40 minutes later.

>> i'll reada again. that was biden, okay, joni earn earnst is vice president. >> so thinkspeaking of marriage. >> oh, boy. must we? >> we must h actually because cameron diaz who is an all around good gal got married this weekend. we want to wish her a lot of health and happiness and financial stability. >> i never noticed that. >> right, there you go. >> has anybody ever noticed you financially better off? i gave my wife a black american express card.

>> then when you got divorced it was reich alike a negative cash flow situation for you. it's great when new technology iphones are created. these are selling out all across america. the selfie stick. you buy that little thing. >> what are you doing? >> i'm showing you -- why are you talking about this? that's evil. >> they're everywhere. everybody in central park are using them. from's tourists from all over the world. >> break them break them. >> the family is struggling to get a picture of themselves and they said can i get a pi >> it is wednesday january 7ththment a fox news alert. a shooting theat a texas va cln iic. hundreds of people watching it unfold. >> there's a shooter in the building. helicopters are there a lot of
