her corporate days. what i found out then, what we now know. what's coming to light on the corporate person who eventually voters are taking quite an interest in tomorrow here and only here. >> i'm eric bolling, it's 5:00 in new york city. this is the five. the reviews are in from last night's presidential debate. and the biggest loser, cnn, the network is getting demolished by the press. we're not talking about conservative media. this is from "the new york times," quote, the network through the candidates into the ring. the only thing missing waubs a ring girl carirying a car above her head. politico call ed it a debate frm hell. check out the headlines, clown news network.

even the candidates weren't happy. >> there was a candidate or two that decided they were going to run everybody over. it was getting tedious for the folks on the other side of the camera. >> it looks like they were promoting a boxing match. once things started you could see it was going to be one of these things where you wanted to imto speak you would have to interrupt something. >> we had to interrupt. >> three hours for a debate is too long. it's ridiculous. >> gone with the wind is three hours and 20 minutes. >> if i were sitting there watting this back and forth i'd be incline today turn it off. >> it took cnn to get all the candidates to agree. we don't have the clip of dr. ben carson who of course in his gentle way said that he didn't feel like it was a great format,ts especially for him. he would have liked to speak more. not easy with 11 candidates. fox knows that from the previous debate. i think that the consensus from media critics is that cnn didn't

have as good a could have. my one big quibble. i don't understand announcing that you are going to pit the candidates against one another. as if that is like, a wonderful thing to advocate for your network going into it. because it put everybody on edge. it was -- looked so aggressive. i think if i were those guys and doing this again, if you want to do that tactic, great. just don't announce it. >> and not only did they announce it, they went right at it. >> my only criticism was that it was too short. it should be an endurance test. i want -- if you're going to be president you're going to be up all night making decisions it should have been seven, eight hours long. they blew a huge opportunity with the plane. the beautiful plane. they should have been seated on the wings or around the plane. i think that would have been more attractive. i think -- i don't know, you know what? we knew from the start that trump is an aggressive guy.

they like to tumble. so they created an arena for t. i don't think it's cnn's fault. about a month ago, fnc was getting trashed for the similar things. i don't remember cnn making fun of us over that. >> quickly, i agree with you for different reasons. i could have watched it for seven hours. i just absolutely loved watching the debate. i'm looking forward to the next one. trump says if he's going to do it again he wants his plane in the background. >> of course. >> why not? >> is that reagan's plane? >> it took too long. it was too long and they were getting fade and fatigue at the end of it. like they literally looked like they were going to pass out. >> you should have seen gutfeld. >> they remembered me of all the women the night i delivered. they needed like smelling salts or aroma therapy. >> you're comparing the debate to childbirth. >> it was that awesome. >> i literally heard there was a line for the bathroom in the

commercial break and they were fighting to get in there first. >> first of all you could have watched for seven hours? >> i'm not kidding. i swear to god on my life. >> i'm going to help you i'm going to get you books and movies. you're going to have some fun, man. >> he likes political theater. the problem is by the end it was what was your childhood dogging? >> look, it became tedious. do you know what happened was they were reacting to the success of the fox debate. so they looked at the fox debate and said when you look at megyn kelly, chris wallace bret baier their questions were so sharp they became the focus and people were talking about them. we're going to have the candidates go at each other. what they did was not controlled. it's good to encourage conversation and debate. but what happened was there was no control. you know, brit hume said last night on o'reilly, he said they should have had a buzzer. what happened is you have people feeling like one they're talking

over each other or they can't get in. >> i hate that. >> i hate to do this to you juan but we have to move on. the moments that stood out last night. kg you're first. >> i loved carly fiorina. she had a hugely powerful moment everybody loved. let's take a listen to this when she's talking about planned parenthood. >> in regards to planned parenthood anyone who has watched the clip, hillary clinton, barack obama to watch these tapes. watch a fully formed fetus on the table. it's heart beating its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain. this is about the character of our nation. and if we will not stand up and force president obama to veto this bill, shame on us. >> yeah. >> the powerful moment. >> would you say she won the debate? >> a lot of people thought she did.

i was one of them. rubio had a great night and christie had great points. carly was powerful. sheaf w she was well-prepared. she had another great moment which i won't toss to another one, don't worry. on foreign policy, she had a lot of good specifics there. she seemed very well equipped. maybe she might change her mind later on some of the things she said. she had answers and specifics i like. you can invite other people into the arena, experts to make decisions. >> by the way, can i just point out, there's a lot of pushback on -- gloss over that really quickly. >> that's what i was going to say -- yes, thank you. yeah. because you know it's not right. she appears to the far right's emotions. there is no such video, right? secondly, the thing about she's encouraging a government shutdown. is that good for republicans? but it played well. >> throw it to your side now, juan. >> the moment everybody got a

kick out of especially if you've been in a brooklyn school yard was trump and bush when they were going back and forth and bush interrupted them. >> you got hillary clinton to go to your wedding. >> that's true. >> maybe it worked -- >> i was a businessman i got along with clinton and everybody that was my job. excuse me one second. >> no. >> more energy tonight, i like that. >> you know, and then later, later, of course, he tried to get trump to apologize for what he said about his mexican wife. do you know what? trump didn't play that game. and finally i saw picking up on this you saw jeb bush at the end when he came back and said his handle if the secret service has to give him a handle is everready. that was cute. >> i was surprised that trump did that. because he's been very steadfast in what he's been saying about

jeb bush. low energy for literally two months. he took that off the table last night. >> no, he didn't. i think that was a pliay on it. tonight you're going to come back at me, big boy? >> he's dictating his behavior. >> thank you, kimberly. >> i agree you say butwith you. >> there's another one with carly fiorina and trump. this had to deal with the comment in rollring stone magazine trump made about her face. >> it's interesting to me, mr. trump said that he heard mr. bush very clearly. and what mr. bush said. i think women all over this country heard very clearly what mr. trump said. [ applause ] >> i think she's got a beautiful face, and i think she's a beautiful woman.

>> so i used the frank lunz foc focus graph to show it's not just me. moderates and conservatives watching the debate thought she had a good moment. and that he didn't. at that moment. the other thing is pretty interesting about women. we talk about having this ability, kimberly, even here or wherever we are. women have a ability to give a look. you don't have to say a word, you have a look. you've got them. women have the ability to have a look. guys don't have it as much. >> that's sexist. i have a look. >> we win on the look thing. >> and she gave him a look. >> i'm going to give the ladies the win on this one. >> smart man. >> exactly. >> can i say something? when these people are in the audience, these dials they go like this, is that what they did? >> i've never been invited. frank should invite me, i've got some opinions. >> i picked a moment that i didn't like. so let's roll that moment. >> i am totally in favor of

vaccines. but i want smaller doses overa longer period of time. just the other day, two years old, two and a half years old, a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick. now issa ti autistic. >> we have well-documented proof that there's no autism associate would vaccinations. it is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time. >> one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time were vaccines. i'm for freedom and i'm concerned about how they're bunched up. >> this is a really bad thing to happen to the republican party. a hysterical anti-science point of view. and using an anecdote with a child is destructive and ignorant because it's not science. this -- it's a false causal

argument to say because vaccines and autism systems appear at the same time, ergo the vaccines cause autism. that's the same as saying when you have ice cream and you get sunburns in the summertime, therefore ice cream causes sunburns. it's stupid and it's bad for republicans. not only that, it's deadly and dangerous. we're seeing out breaks of measles around the world, australia, africa, where people are actually dying. meanwhile, we're having out breaks in disney land. why? because people are listening to bozos who are questioning the validity of what is really a wall. science built a wall against disease and it's called vaccines. if we're going to be for a wall for immigrations she should be for a wall against -- >> did the twoe agree with them? >> they're doctors. i'm glad ben carson feebly said something. they are doctors. they have a responsibility to defend the profession. there are doctors like them who

have to confront this argument when they have elderly people. those doctors are on tv they should have been forth right about t. ben slightly did it. but he's so soft spoken he was barely there. rand, who cares about rand. >> hats off. that's so strong and i'm glad you said it. i like that when you said it. maybe he's an okay doctor. >> the republicans aren't the only ones with that problem. >> hillary had the issues in primary 2008. she said she was going to look into the causes of autism including vaccines. >> didn't christie say that as well? >> maybe they go with the science. that would be better. >> party of season, people. >> how about this i'll throw to my sound bite. the early debate was good. i thought it was going to be horrible. there was a point where lindsey graham stepped up and was relatable and funny and turned my mind around about that

candidate. listen. >> ronald rathereagan did a couf big things we should remember. he sat in with tip o'neil. the most liberal guy in the entire house. they started drinking together. that's the first thing i'm going to do as president we're going to drink more. what did these two great irishman do? they found a way to save social security from bankruptcy by adjusting the age of retirement from 65 to 67. >> and see what he did there? he was not only funny and relatable. he took a funny story and then turned it into a policy idea. and that was spot on. i've been really hard on lindsey graham. he showed -- maybe if some of the other people on the stage would take a cue from him. >> he needed that. he needed that last night. he had an ability to see who he is. to know him a little bit better. he show cased very well. >> what happens if you're still on that table for three times, you got to call it quits?

he was the best. >> but he definitely improved from his first time. so even if he doesn't go any further, he actually -- that's the last thing you remember. i thought it was great. he looks like he was having fun. >> yeah, maybe he had a drink. >> maybe. >> maybe that's the answer -- that's what i'd do. >> jindal did decent, too. he was good. >> yeah. >> but you know what -- >> the early debate -- >> it was much more organized, the format you could hear what people said. that dogpile, frenzy that they had. like we're back in rome, feed them to the lions -- >> 25 minutes per person. >> you know, what was cool about that first debate was, that's the only time for saw hugh hewitt and dana bash. >> he was supposed to be the conservative voice of the rnc. he was non-existent unfortunately >> at the first debate -- >> i'm talking about the main --

>> i ran into him at that gift shop. he signed my book. >> oh, my gosh. >> all right americans want a president who understands the threats we face. who will keep the country safe, which candidate stood out last night on that front? our thoughts when "the five" returns.

everyone loves the picture i posted of you. at&t reminds you it can wait.

yesterday i said i hoped we'd find a candidate that understands terror the same way reagan understood communism? rubio was positively rubian. >> let's remember what the president said. he said the attack he was going to conduct was going to be a pin prick. the military was not built to have pin prick attacks. it should be engaged in a innever to win. you better be able to lead our country on the first day. >> the strongest voice came from the mini me debate by a guy who knows the big picture. >> i'm running for president. to destroy radical islam. to win the war on terror. to protect you and your family.

pull the caliphate up by its roots. the wedding cake baker or the gay couple or the baptist preacher radical islam would kill you all if they could. i willin a war we countwin. >> he said what also wasn't said. as the conversation went deep others went for coffee. any conversation rooted in substance can be harried for thore candidates who don't have time to read. it's a fact. we need adults in the room now who are dead serious about what's going to kill us. the head of the central command told congress only four to five trainees from the half billion dollar plan to prep fighters ended up fighting in syria. four or five. with syria unravels and refugees flee. we need a plan to deal with failing states and the creeps planning acts within. what do we do about those

already here? what about the cyber attacks we just experienced with a more vile target hospitals or transportation. if they kill the power people die. this is the escalating risk created by new technology. each day some ghoul gets one step closer doing something bad. if you don't understand the threat or prefer to do platitudes bow out now you're a danger to yourself and to this country. my point here, these candidates need to read more. it's an important thing. reading is fundamental. we learned that. i want everybody here to suggest one book. i'm going to start since basically i'm getting my information from one book. it's called the future of violence. it's about the new kinds of terror married to technology. every single person in america should read this book. the first chapter will change the way you think about the future and scare the living wits

out of you. dana? >> i'm going to go a little further back and say that the autobiography of grant. definitely considered one of the best autobiaographies of any president. it's well written. it's a thick one it will take a while to get through. but i would recommend it. i think it's a good one. >> excellent. eric? >> i took the segment that has to win the presidency not necessarily to solve the terror crisis. you want to know something, maybe some of the things these people would learn in these b k books might help them. since everybody is going after donald trump, they ahe's the on wanted to attack. trump came up next to them. they're all going after him. it would behoove the other candidates who aren't named

trump to read his book the art of the deal. you got to read it. you got to know what's going on in his mind. donald trump, because they're all going after him, should read the art of war. it's an amazing book. it's really long. >> you are shameless. shameless. >> the art of war. what's wrong? >> trump reading trump's book. >> i wanted to say -- pick your three books but that would look shameless. look, i think the art of war which is 2000 years old absolutely -- >> how could he pick even other book? even trump says the only better book is the bible. >> it's a memoir. >> you're saying you hate the bible? >> i can recite some passages. >> really? >> oh, my goodness. where is the moderator. >> juan? >> i thought -- >> juan is his sleepy day, he's low energy. >> i was up late last night.

at the hotel they were banging or building or something. new york you don't want to sleep here. the road to war presidential commitments honored and betrayed. this is a terrific book. it takes you back to, you don't want to repeat mistakes. this is what this is about. because you see how previous presidents got into senseless wars. and then had a hard time getting out of them. and caused us a lot of treasure and blood. so it's important to understand when you make this commitment, there's real people and real consequences. >> that was -- >> it's not acting. >> yeah, juan. she just destroyed you. >> absolutely. >> wow. >> she does it regularly to my pleasure. want. >> i have no idea what that means. >> moving on. okay. so anyway before juan falls asleep i picked a ball i hope you have read i recommend they read it again. many people who read it the first time want to get back to

it. atlas band. getting back to what this country was founded on on what you can do and change the world. it's inspirational when you think -- >> it's thick. >> read every other page, you'll still get a lot out of it. get it on audio tape. >> back it up with iran book, fantastic book. >> i love that book. >> i like the one in defense of selfishness. is that what it's called? in defense of selfishness? have you ever read that? >> no surprise. you're so evolved noa. >> it's 120 pages. i know randy is going to be tweeting me with the actual title. >> some of them could have read it last night before the breaks. >> i struggled when i saw, what was it rubio saying pin pricks that's why we republicans didn't vote to have the air strikes

against syria. what is he talking about? he didn't back the fight against syria. >> yes, he did. >> please. >> oh, no. no. we don't have time. >> we don't have time. >> but i'm right. >> we don't have time, juan to correct your many errors. >> many. >> too many. >> too many. >> nap time. >> there's a juan in a million. all right i have a question about the debate, tweet it to us. use the #thefive. we'll answer them ahead it will be exciting. ♪

khomeini to possess a nuclear weapon. as it relates to my brother, he kept us safe. >> there will always be a bush or clinton for you if you want to go back to war in iraq. >> mr. trump we don't need an apprentice in the white house. we have one right now. >> i believe free enterprise and lamented government is the best way to help people in upward momentum. >> i led hewlett packard during gif difficult times. >> for the 55-year-old construction worker, they could care less about your careers. they care about theirs. >> any clear winner? anyone who clearly needs to step up their game? take it around the table. greg? >> i have my winners first second and thirst place. first place, donald trump. he was terrific.

second place, donald trump he was fantastic. i would have fwgiven him first place. third place i have donald trump but i don't want to upset him there were two candidates that were better than him. trump and trump. it's huge. >> did you make that at kinkoes? >> what is with this paper? >> i ran out of paper. by the way, here's some insight into trump that i learned. he was exactly the same last night that he was in the first debate. everybody evolved but his belief is that when i win, i will figure it all out. i will hire the right people so there is no need for him to actually do the research because he goes why put any effort if i lose. so why don't i just wait till i win? that's kind of charming. >> wow. and so is that paper. >> thank you very much. >> dana? >> we talked about a lot of them. a couple people we haven't talked about who needs love and attention, scott walker. he came into this -- i don't

think he got a headline. he did much better i think in this debate than previous ones. he was wn of the people that was having a jump in there to try to make a point. he did not get a headline out of this. i think they're going to have to keep trying to push. >> he had very little time. >> also john kasich. for a long time i believed it was a smart strategy for him to wait to be one of the last people to get in because that was some excitement he got on the stage. now, i'm questioning that. his name id is low enough that i don't see the scope and scale. however, i understand that his ground game in new hampshire is fantastic. his superpac is spending a lot of money up there. perhaps he's got a strategy to stop anybody else by winning in new hampshire. >> i would have liked to have seen him get in earlier to be honest with you and kind of like get more known. >> he's got a lot of experience. his best moment was when he talked about the balanced budget amendment he helped.

that's the -- >> mr. bolling? >> i think we are so lucky on the right. we had at least 11 if not 12 or 13 great candidates that could step into the position. i'm being perfectly honest with you. >> look at juan's face. >> i don't think everyone did well. drudge scored it for trump. i don't think they're right. the strong category -- everybody did great. carly, ted cruz, i loved what he was talking about the supreme court he was talking about some other constitutional -- >> wait a minute. he said john roberts -- >> not my own, you know, he outlined why he wouldn't have pushed for a john roberts. >> he did push for john roths. he backed john roberts. >> he says he didn't. >> he admitted he did. >> chris christie did well. >> don't you think cruz was holding trump's jacket the whole time? >> you saw a side of cruz. he's brilliant. >> very bright. we said don't stare at the

button. >> can i get through this? held their ground. i think trump held his ground. you'll see him not slide in the polls. ben carson held his great. he could have stepped up. marco rubio sounded good. you may not like what rand had to say but he stuck to his principles. huckabee, a little slow. kasich i agree with you he could have stepped it up. scott walker had a quiet night. for me, again, a lot of people are going to push back, i think jeb bush he didn't look presidential to me. it didn't feel presidential. >> he had good moments. give me what you can. >> give me what you can? let me tell you one of the things i learned in boxing you got to knock out the champ if you want to win. nobody knocked out donald trump. he walked out of there standing. he didn't have a great night but he had a good enough night. i thought hugh hewwit. >> carly gave him a good slug. >> when you look at jeb bush, eric, do you know what? jeb bush i think if you are jeb

bush backer or money raiser right now, today you're thinking this may have been the peak of trump. >> do you know who got the biggest applause in the room last night? it's the republican that wasn't even there. george w. bush. i think that trump was shocked. he was like people liked him. even jeb seemed surprised. people are clapping for my brother. >> there was some back and forth about 9/11. the point is, i think jeb and his backers feel good coming out of that. and maybe a win for him. >> i don't know. >> i don't think he got hurt. all right. you know, i'm making no friends in the control room right now. all right. next, we answer the questions you tweeted to us on the debate. don't go away. ♪ let's celebrate these moments... this woman... this cancer patient... christine... living her life... loving her family. moments made possible in part by the breakthrough science of advanced genomic testing.

i would love to have seen every single candidate answer this question, give me your tax plan. if they can't do it in 30 seconds or a minute, then i'd scratch them off. because i can deliver a tax plan in 20 seconds. the american people want it, they want it more simplified. and want to know where they come down. >> name that tax plan. in four notes or less. >> 30 seconds or less. >> all right. juan, do you think we'd have been better off one question anded and each candidate get a short answer. >> you got allow people to respond. you have to have a back and forth. cnn didn't control it and it just got whacky and rude and you couldn't hear people. people talking over each other. that doesn't work. i think the most effective format may have come close to what fox did. you ask question and direct people terms of response.
