tv   The Five  FOX News  January 20, 2015 2:00pm-3:01pm PST

2:00 pm
on basic cable. or no money and no life and you're basically screwed. so we report, you decide. bret has already told me -- he's a fine man. he's already said go ahead, dvr him. he's okay with it. because that's just the way he rolls. that's the way i roll tonight, 8:00 p.m. >> who knows anymore? hello, everyone! this is "the five." so ladies, when a relationship ends, it's important to move on. however, there's always one x who won't let go and does everything he can to weasel his way back into life. he'll call just to tell you about his new yoga mat. the only thing you can do is brush him off. and that's the advice i give to america, as we face the state of the union. the president and that persistent drone of his will
2:01 pm
talk big, offer sweeping defiant proposals, for his strategy is simple, to rile. if you take the bait, he wins. his goal to unleash conflict, which then becomes the media's meat. he's kicking a hornet's nest, hoping we sting ourselves. it's best to smile and say, thanks, dude, but we're good, and move on. for america is on the market, looking for someone new, someone strong, sensible, loyal, dreamy. this guy you've been with for six years, he just wasn't into you. more enamored by the hippie types who feel and not think. you were main street. he was occupy wall street. his new aggressiveness speaks of his desperation. tonight's speech is just a political version of a bitter ex contacting you on facebook thinking he can worm himself back into the spotlight by defiantly bringing up the past. the establishment loves this stuff, but not this stuff. sometimes you've got to say we've moved on mr. president. so should you. and if he doesn't, give him a fake phone number.
2:02 pm
that's what you do, andrea. >> or you could fake your own death. which is a good tease for my "one more thing." >> that's really desperate. this is my feeling. president obama does this. he kind of wins by simply kicking up some dirt. introducing things that nobody likes, but as long as it raises dialogue. >> yes. and i have so many thoughts about your monologue on relationships, but i'm going to try and keep this on the president. so i think what you're trying to say is this is his boil your bunny moment. he's naked in a trench coat on our fire escape tonight, is that what you're trying to say? peering through our window saying pay attention to me i'm relevant. is that what you're trying to say? >> maybe you went a little further than i would have. the trench coat thing, that's more clinton. >> oh, my gosh. >> the strategy is to introduce a volatile idea. like $320 billion in taxes. everyone takes the bait talks about it and then he goes and plays golf. >> here's exactly what happens. he's done it before.
2:03 pm
by the way one of the media groups put these things together. they have 112 times that the president didn't follow through on the state of the union promises over the last six years. so here's what he does. he's beginning to recommend raising corporate tax rates. corporations are going to say well, screw that we're going to go look for better tax environments elsewhere. they're going to leave, and a whole host of others to looked to other countries. and the president says you're watching "justice for all" with judge christina perez -- you're not watching. here's a quote. bear with me for one more minute. lower rates of taxation will stimulation economic activity raise levels of personal and corporate income and yield an increased flow of revenue to the federal government. want to take a shot at who said that? >> john f. kennedy. >> he said it 16 different times
2:04 pm
in a year and a half in 1962 and 1963. so i'm not sure how the democrats got away from real true economics and job creation and realizing that keeping moreour own money you'll spend more. >> it's a good point bob. you deal with people who have substance abuse issues and you're very passionate about that. our government took in more than $3 trillion in taxes, and now we want more. doesn't that signify that perhaps we have a problem in addiction to taxes? >> we have a difference. but here's the thing i think you expect tonight. he's going to push hard his successes in the economy. you can argue about it all you want. people that aren't in the job market, blah blah, blah. the american people are beginning to realize we're in a good economy. two, he will draw the distinction because this is about 2016. it is not about anything else but that. he wants to put the marker down. making it very clear in people's minds. and then follow-through on that
2:05 pm
as the months come before us in the next, say, five months, you will see one or two things. outside of that, there will be distinctions. and that's what it's going to be all about, getting ready for that election. >> so the only way he can tout the economy is to ignore the labor force participation? an all-time low at 62.7%. >> you all quickly ignored gas prices. >> when things get really really low sometimes they can't get any lower right? and they have to come back up. >> that's the point, greg. and one last point here. who's the beneficiary of this distinction? >> can i just throw something out here? you talk about the fantastic things going on in the economy. there are some jobs being created. gasoline prices are coming down but they've been elevated for six years. but prices of everything else. food milk, everything you eat, everything you drive everything you heat your home with prices are going up and wages are stagnant and flat.
2:06 pm
you don't count food and energy for some stupid reason. >> i see. >> what i was going to answer to bob was the president's going to argue that yes, the economy is doing so much better therefore the rich are able to sustain an additional burdenen in the form of increased taxes. but this president has, in fact been the beneficiary of falling oil and gas prices because of the increased supply in the united states. because of that, because a price of barrel of oil is cheaper, gas prices are lower, therefore more disposable income. he wants to talk the credit for all of that. but that's what's been happening in the market. it's not directly tied in or related to the president or any of his specific policies because he's been quite punitive in disparageing it, his comments about not wanting an increased oil and gas production in this country. >> do not underestimate our ability to take credit for it. >> thank you very much, bob. >> he's going to take off a lot of positives. which he really can't take credit for, because premiums have gone up.
2:07 pm
median household incomes have gone down. so he can tax millionaires an extra 10% or propose that. ultimately, that's going to squeeze the middle class. and if you're under president obama's administration, he basically redistributes all that money. so you find out all that revenue has just gone to spending. i think he's going to have a tough time. the new fox news poll that talks about how people feel. he can kick off facts tonight but the one that jumped out at me was over 60% of respondents said that they feel we're still in a recession. so people don't feel all of this good news that he's going to try and drop in our laps and take credit for. >> do you think people are even going to watch? his viewership keeps dropping. >> i think all six years the viewership has gone down and they're expecting it to go down even further because he can't do anything. one of the things we need to point out is he can say a bunch of things. he can add to the 122 things. he can add another 20 that he hopes to get done, but he's not
2:08 pm
going get them if he talks about things like raising taxes on the top 1%. raising corporate taxes. doing some of the things that he wants to do. trying to get that through votes in the house and congress, that isn't going to happen. so you're right this is more about politics than policy changes. >> is there consistency out there for the top 1%? >> donate to his campaign. >> it's called america, bob. >> the president will invoke the shooting and lawmakers are going to hold up yellow pencils as symbolic gesture. do you think he's going to elaborate on any kind of terrorist policy? >> what are they going to hold up pencils for? >> in solidarity. is that enough? don't we need some coherence? >> i've been saying this for a long time. i think he needs to get out in front of this. why he won't say islamic terrorist -- he's got to have an
2:09 pm
explanation for why that is, and not just not say it. he may just may say it tonight. >> there's no way. >> there's no way. >> we can dream and dream and dream. >> i wish someone would just edit the teleprompter. wouldn't that be amazing? >> if you can self-edit that on the fly. >> he wouldn't say it. >> what's his name? pfeiffer. what's his first name? dan. says obama is going to have some cards up his sleeve. what could the cards be? go fish? old maid? >> he's actually been practicing with david blaine. he's going to do some magic tricks. maybe people will watch, because no one wants to hear that he's going to be raising capital gains. that's the problem. people already know where he's going with this. he has been consistent in his politics and ideology, but people aren't buying it. look at the polls. look at the jobs dissatisfaction. this is not a guy coming in with a strong a game or backing of the american people. >> he's got big banking.
2:10 pm
but anybody think it's going to get passed, it won't. >> that's the point. he's just here to create the debate. >> correct. divide. >> and then conquer. >> it is about his legacy. he's also going to talk about community colleges, which is a big thing. but he's throwing money at a problem. i looked this up. right now, half of community college students, the one that he wants to help placed into remedial classes. so what that tells me is they're not getting good education in junior high and high school. so he's proposing throwing more money that we don't have that's not going to help these kids. i mean, if you really break down the speech i think you're going to see a lot of pretty flimsy proposals that are going to make problems worse. >> but that's what he does right? >> trade schools instead. >> we agree with that. i think that's a wise place to go. >> charter schools. why are progressives so against charter schools? >> i think trade schools is an important thing to do.
2:11 pm
there's a way to fund them. people will do that. >> i think charm schools. have you seen these kids lately? we've got to bring back charm school. >> where we should send you. >> it is time for charm school. teach you how to wear your pants. stop saying "like." >> okay. >> all right we're done here. what do you think she's going to do? good choice? >> great choice. i think she somehow works in -- >> has some pigs? >> can they just do me a favor in the republican party? i think it would be good instead of having joni ernst come out and the podium, why don't they put her in an arena with middle class families and have her have a similar type of environment
2:12 pm
and audience. because it's so tough to deliver the response after a president gives a speech and he has the applause and he has all these people. there's a degree of difficulty to go in and just be one-on-one with the camera. they should put her in a big stadium with a bunch of middle class families. >> the delivery's going to be huge, too. >> but how about looking into the right direction of the camera. every year that's a problem. they're like looking over here. >> every year. >> all right, i predict that his speech will be interrupted by applause 62 times. >> that's the number? >> that's the number. we'll check that tomorrow. for more of our thoughts on the state of the union, "the five" will be live tweeting -- yes live tweeting throughout the night. so join us using #foxnewschat. next, new disturbing developments on the isis front. there's a surprise. more bad stuff on the way.
2:13 pm
[ hoof beats ] i wish... please, please, please, please, please. [ male announcer ] the wish we wish above all...is health. so we quit selling cigarettes in our cvs pharmacies. expanded minuteclinic for walk-in medical care. and created programs that encourage people to take their medications regularly. introducing cvs health. a new purpose. a new promise... to help all those wishes come true. cvs health. because health is everything.
2:14 pm
2:15 pm
2:16 pm
isis has been releasing more terror images to the world. it's just put out another hostage video, this time showing
2:17 pm
japanese reporters alongside the masked executioner who's demanding $200 million for their release. the terror threat is a top concern back at home. for the first time in five years, americans ranked combatting terror as the number one priority for the u.s. okay andrea, this is obviously something that has gotten attention internationally. you are now seeing cooperation between the european economic union, the united states all in an alliance to combat terror. like a wake-up call has happened. >> finally. but tonight according to sources at the white house, they've said that the president's going to focus more on domestic issues and not speak about terrorism even though as you quoted, it's on americans' minds. bob brings up a great point. he should get into it and i think he should outline his strategy for defeating isis. the problem is he's already said that isis is j.v. when he was asked if he had a plan, he stepped up and said we don't have a plan. and the department of defense was like wait a minute, we have plenty of plans to defeat isis.
2:18 pm
i think we could have defeated isis a long time ago. i still think we can. and whether you agree on the strategy or not, i just don't think the president wants to deal with this, because i think dealing with it means that he has to go back and admit that he was wrong about it in the first place. he thought he could give that speech in 2009 in cairo and solve the problem. and everything that he said up to this point has proved to be false. >> there's no way he's going to say i've been wrong. okay, let me rectify it. >> you don't know whether the japanese have agreed to pay the $200 million. i've heard they were. anybody hear that? >> i didn't hear that. they said they were going to put their full attention to it. >> i hope they wouldn't. >> should he be mentioning and talking about isis and addressing this issue? >> president obama? tonight? with two japanese hostages? >> yeah, state of the union. the world is listening. >> i certainly wouldn't at this point. isis is now taking anyone they possibly can find and threatening and holding them as
2:19 pm
hostages, saying we're going to behead these people, because oil prices are crashing. so isis was making 2 or $3 million a day in oil revenues, now it's down to like less than half of that because oil prices have crashed. so they're going to become more and more dangerous. they're going to become more and more prolific. look at it this way. my dog will come up, go to my wife, he'll look at her and go -- and she'll get up and give him a bone. i tell her don't do that, because what's going to happen tomorrow night at the exact same time? tomorrow night at the same time he goes -- she gives him a bone. you can't negotiate with these terrorists. the french have done it. it's not working. you've got to stop negotiating. you've got to cut the head off kill these people, wipe them out. stop playing games with them. >> the problem is if japan gives them money, that money is going to go directly back into funding terrorism and taking american lives throughout the middle east.
2:20 pm
>> ruff, ruff? >> okay bob. you're just going to bark this segment? >> no, i'm not going to bark this segment. just go back to this question for a second about whether the president has got to -- not necessarily define a strategy. i think he's got a strategy for how you beat isis. they don't yet have a strategy to define what this war is about. and why we're not using it. if it is, it's because he doesn't want to upset a billion other muslims, then say it. but you've got to say something. you just can't sit out there and be criticized every day for not using a word. i don't get it. >> you mentioned there's not been a wake-up call. but there is a large segment of society that has ignored that wake-up call. it is our media. their priorities are diseased. as extremists kill kids for playing soccer or throw gays off buildings, we have a western media establishment who is more concerned at mocking commentators than they are going after extremists.
2:21 pm
if we don't rediscover our will we deserve our fate and it will be a caliphate. isis has harnessed the mindset of the spree killer. they're basically columbine in hijab. spree and terror share a sense of envy that they're victims of unfairness. as we continue to expand this notion of victimization in our own country, this doesn't get any better. because we're telling so many people they're victims. >> you know they killed those kids for watching soccer. >> yeah. >> but, you know, joe biden will be sitting behind him this evening. joe biden had harsher words when he said i'll follow them to the gates of hell. if obama would use that language, i think the public would be behind them. >> it's not him, is it? >> it makes me think that it's not about popularity. because he would get popular if he did that. >> it's his core. >> i think we've only had 700 or 800 bombing missions in
2:22 pm
something like 160 days. that's no way to defeat isis. step that up and carpet bomb -- stop their expansion. >> you've got to put your heart and got to put your weapons into it. that's the problem. still to come, is america's largest muslim civil rights group trying to smear american hero chris kyle? we'll report. you can decide when we back. we'll be live tweeting during the state of the union tonight. please join us using #fox news chat. we are back in a moment.
2:23 pm
2:24 pm
2:25 pm
2:26 pm
we come by almost every day to deliver your mail so if you have any packages you want to return you should just give them to us i mean, we're going to be there anyway why don't you just leave it for us to pick up? or you could always get in your car and take it back yourself yeah, us picking it up is probably your easiest option it's kind of a no brainer ok, well, good talk yesterday, we told you about michael moore and seth rogen's vicious attack on the american military. now they're trying to backtrack. americans' largest muslim civil rights group care, the council on american islamic relations, is getting heat for tweeting out
2:27 pm
a "guardian" newspaper article on chris kyle where they called him a "hate-filled killer." it could leave the impression that they're sympathetic to that point of view, so we called care and asked, do thaw think chris kyle is a hate-filled killer? care and ibrahim doug cooper flat-out refused to answer and dodged the question. so we wanted to keep going. chris kyle sadly can't keep for himself. thankfully, those like him who fought to keep this country safe and allow rogen and moore the right to expose their ignorance are speaking up. listen to sean parnell and jason redman. >> it's highly ironic that a guy like michael moore uses his freedom that he's been graciously gifted by american soldiers and heroes like chris kyle to then turn around and blame the american military for all the problems of the world. to me, that's the definition of irony and cowardice at the same time. >> chris kyle was a hero. he was willing to sacrifice himself, to make a difference
2:28 pm
and not only his brothers' lives, but in the lives of the american people. even in the lives of somebody like michael moore and seth rogen who have no clue what we're out there fighting for. >> so you want to take it? >> i like care in more ways than one, but let me put it this way. for care to use the word "hate-filled" -- >> let's be clear. "guardian "guardian" wrote it. >> the fact that they retweeted it in their name, they are in essence defending a group that is the most hate-filled in all the groups of the world. what cair needs to understand that those who are islamic terrorists -- yes, islamic terrorists, we've got that right. they are the most hate-filled people of the last two centuries. >> you heard a couple army rangers there. you want to talk about michael moore calling them cowards. >> michael moore is just so full
2:29 pm
of it. and he's probably jealous because his movies are horrendous and he's jealous of the success of clint eastwood and this film that america has responded to. he's just making a fool of himself once again. but it goes further than that. it's so disrespectful to the men and women that served in the u.s. armed forces and for people who lay it on the line. they aren't just randomly killing people. they are saving lives and fighting for freedom. that should matter and it should matter to him because it's the reason he gets to open his mouth all the time and talk nonsense. >> hollywood to the rescue. friends tried to help them do damage control today. here's harvey weinstein. listen to this. >> i think michael moore may have gotten misquoted, and i think that he and that team might get together. my inside sources tell me. so i think it's something about his family looks at snipers a certain way and then that became a quote like snipers are cowardly. it wasn't a reaction i don't think to this movie. >> it doesn't even add up.
2:30 pm
>> okay, a lot of this has to do with the success of this movie, which represents a part of america that most of these people make fun of. the new controversy about this movie, believe it or not, among reviewers is that a baby that was used in the scenes looked fake. so in a movie that covers ptsd human courage, sacrifice, honor, war, death, there are bloggers and critics and wags focusing on a plastic baby. makes me think that maybe some extremists are right. we do suck. we've created a nation of losers and wusses who mock heroism and obsess over trifles. >> at least they stick together these hollywood elite types making a stupid comment and saying he was misunderstood. >> it would be refreshing if i guess the sag awards are on january 25th. and then the oscars are on february 22nd. i would like to see if anyone has the guts to stand in front of that crowd. i'd prefer bradley cooper to do
2:31 pm
it. but since he knows the wife of chris kyle. to actually stand up. i want to bring up something. what michael moore said when he tried to clarify, he said oh i wasn't referring to "american sniper" the movie. because we're constantly talking about snipers here in the united states. he said no i was talking about my family. oh, and by the way i meant snipers, like the one that killed martin luther king. that's what i was referring to. so he's going to put a man who killed martin luther king, a complete scumbag, on the same moral equivalency of an american hero and think that's how he's going to clarify it? he made it even worse. >> sometimes it's always -- not sometimes. it's always better to say look, i screwed up, i made a mistake, i apologize. it's not a bad idea. mike, seth. all right, coming up a high school basketball coach is suspended in california. what did he do? he let his team win big.
2:32 pm
how the success police have come after him. next on "the five."
2:33 pm
meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more.
2:34 pm
2:35 pm
2:36 pm
so, what are we teaching kids about success? a high school girl's basketball coach is back on the job after getting suspended for letting
2:37 pm
his players keep winning. michael anderson's team clobbered the competition last week with a final score of 161-2. his high school district accused him of running up the score, then suspended him for two games, and then gave this explanation for the punishment. >> we are really emphasizing that we want them to pursue victory with honor. and that means playing the game with dignity. >> well, here's one parent coming to the coach's defense. >> i feel it's very wrong. i feel like what are you guys teaching the kids, to lose and not be rewarded? are you teaching him to be a loser? >> anderson says that he doesn't think his suspension was fair. he says that he teaches his girls to play one way and that's hard. eric, what do you think? take away this guy's livelihood because he actually turned the team around? i looked at when he took over this job as coach. they had only won two games. they were in really bad shape. >> so part of winning is winning
2:38 pm
and really winning, because next time you meet the team, you want them to remember the first time they put a smackdown on you. that's just life in sports. but listening to that academic sounds like, you know victory with honor. i mean they're not really going for the jugular. and it's probably the reason why isis is still moving throughout iraq. >> how did you turn that in? >> just end it. put them out of their misery. i would say how did you let them score two points? come on. you're teaching kids to -- you know, the old everyone gets a trophy. it's not a winning attitude. put that on the global stage for a minute. china, russia, iran, you want to play with them the way you play with other kids? >> what do you think bob? >> i get the geopolitical implications of this entire basketball scoop. >> the caliphate. >> now listen.
2:39 pm
there is one thing about running up a score. it's another thing they decide not to run the score up because they don't want to have to have somebody get mad and run up the score against them. why do you have to run up a score like that? what good would it do? forget saying that they shouldn't lose or shut the game down but at least -- it's ridiculous. >> maybe the issue is that this team that they played shouldn't even be in that league if they're going to get clobbered. >> number one, open up tryouts. try and get some new recruits. get some kids from other schools. maybe get a new coach. because, you know, today's losing team is tomorrow's winning team if you've got the heart and you get the right people in place. i don't know. i was coached hard and to win. we didn't, like injure anybody. but we did what it takes. >> i think eric makes a really good point though, greg. because the kids that got spanked are the ones that are going to learn the lessons of
2:40 pm
losing more than the ones who won. so metaphorically, basketball apocalypse. >> and isis apocalypse. >> i mean did they really have to use a full court press? i mean, they were actually playing tennis which is completely unfair. here's my theory on why the score was so high. by the way in high school girls basketball, 161-2 is still considered close. no one was paying attention. it's a joke, it's a joke. i love girls' basketball. i watch it every day. but i don't think anybody was paying attention.the score was that important at that time. and it just kind of went out of control. either that, or those who are harlem globetrotters in drag, because how could you beat -- i don't understand how it can be so lopsided. how does that happen? that makes no sense to me. >> i watch women's beach volleyball every day, and i think that is where it's very close every day, and that's
2:41 pm
competitive. >> because you're really keeping your eye on that scoreboard. >> i certainly am. >> oh, my gosh. >> how can it be that far apart? >> that's why i asked if they should be in the same league. >> maybe the other team is getting a lot of three-point shots. but what are you supposed to do, maybe the other team feel bad, like you guys are losers, we're calling this at halftime? >> not the full court press. >> i was the worst basketball player ever. >> no kidding! why? you're so tall. >> i was the guy that they put in. okay, when you were ahead 72-0 i was the guy you put in. so you ran up the score. >> oh to get the opportunity. >> and i still sucked. i would throw air balls that would make it to the net. i sympathize. >> the nuclear weapons systems
2:42 pm
in north korea. >> they were thinking about the greg gutfelds of the world. ahead, we'll go to washington live for new details on what to expect at tonight's state of the union. bret baier had lunch with the president earlier and he'll join us next.
2:43 pm
hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for test. test. test.
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
2:46 pm
the president will deliver his sixth and best state of the union address in just a few hours from now. our coverage begins at 8:55 p.m. eastern with bret baier. the chief political anchor of "special report" is back with us again tonight. he had lunch with president obama today and it was off the record. so, tell us everything you heard, will you? [ laughter ] >> ah, yes, i knew that was going to come right off the bat. listen two for two on "the five" i think is really something for me. but i can't tell you much about the lunch, what was said. shepard had broken the menu which is right here. i think he did his whole show at 3:00 on the menu. but i can give you a perspective about the administration. and they are -- and the president. they are emboldened by the economy. and i think that domestic issues
2:47 pm
and this plan that he has is going to take up a lot of this speech. and he's probably going to tick off a lot of the bullet points that this administration is touting. you know how much of this speech will be domestic versus foreign policy i think will be interesting to see, because as you know, the hot spots around the world are only hotter today. yemen, libya, iran signing a deal with russia a military deal. syria, afghanistan, iraq. but as far as specifics i can't get into that. >> okay. eric, you want to ask about isis? >> during that lunch -- look, i know we can't ask specifics, but look, everyone knows that most of whatever the president proposes tonight will never make it back to his desk to be signed into law. so is he -- did you get a sense that he realizes this and this is just going to be here's what i want i'm laying it downright now, this is what we'd love to have in '16? never going to get it now, but let's take a look forward?
2:48 pm
>> yeah, listen. i think the administration has talked about this, too, in that it is a combination of a marker down to start a negotiation on some things. and also a look forward to 2016 and his party and the next person he hopes from his party who's in that seat. i think the negotiation part when you go down and ask anyone in this administration where can they get something done they point to trade. they point to infrastructure. and the list starts trailing off soon after that. i think republicans would say about the same thing. >> what can you say to really encourage people to go with his policies again in 2016 to sort of lay the foundation, the fabric for the future for the democratic party? >> well, i think that this whole thing about the top tier benefiting from a -- an economy that is on all cylinders, and that the middle class not feeling it they are taking the

approach that there needs to be some redistribution, if you will, and the taxes -- >> some? >> and capital gains and on bank fees, to be able to give three times the child tax credit and $500 for a duelal spouse working household. >> i don't understand the off-the-record lunch. i think it's exclusionary. i think it's mean. i have a few questions about it anyway i'm going to ask you. >> you weren't invited. >> i know. i was wondering if my name came up at all because i know he's still upset about the pants. >> no, it didn't. >> is it okay to take a doggie bag? like, if you don't finish your meal is that okay? >> i think it might be frowned upon. >> really? >> andrea how about you? >> i don't know how to follow that one, bret.

do you get the sense that president obama is going to be using executive orders, and how much on some of the proposals that he's going to mention tonight? and two, i'd imagine that the global community is beginning to be watching what he says this evening. i imagine he said it before in state of the unions. he will mention closing gitmo. have you heard what this white house plans on doing if they close gitmo? what they will be doing with the suspected terrorists? >> no. i think you are hitting on one of the most contentious issues between this congress and this administration. i think this administration's president has made clear that he wants to close gitmo. it was the first thing he signed when he got into office the first time. and they are drawing down the number of people at guantanamo bay slowly but surely putting them in other countries and getting rid of them. the question is whether they are being monitored in those countries. this congress i think will do everything it can to stop that. so that is really going to be one of the big issues that they

confront each other on. >> let me ask you this question. strategically they either decided to put down markers where they know they can't get law and therefore they show the divide between the two parties hasn't changed at all and separate 2016 as we talked about or it is the negotiating point. the problem is negotiations from where they are coming from tax increases seems to me to be a non-starter even as a negotiating point. >> you're right. i think that all of this talk about corporate tax reform i don't think the democrats on capitol hill would go for just corporate tax reform without taking plans that the president is talking about about the middle class. republicans in the meantime are not going to raise revenue raising capital gains to 28%. i think that is another one of the issues that if it is a marker they have a long way to go between the two. >> thanks for your contribution
