thanks for joining us. do remember, varney and company on the fox business network tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. eastern all the way until noon. that's it from me for now. "the five" is next. >> greg: i am greg gutfeld with kimberly guilfoyle, bob beckel, eric bolling, and dana perino, "the five" ." at a dinner with the press, the ambassador from afghanistan was asked about donald trump. he said he was warned to keep it short when talking to mr. trump because of his short attention span. when they did finally speak, he was delightfully shocked. donald trump asked three questions that president obama never did. one, how can you win and his fight against terror? two, what do you need to be financially independent and

three, how can american business invest in your country? the investors conclusion, donald trump wanted to win where as before, president obama just didn't want to lose. the hesitancy over commitment was gone but trump listened to his answers. funny how this flies in the face of the media's portrayal of trump, always ballistic. president obama, he so much more giving, he looks fantastic even when he's losing his shirt. meanwhile, trump is going full salesman as he fixes obamacare, meeting with congressional leaders, working the phone, holding listening sessions, it's in his blood, sales. trump has something to sell but it's way more complex than a lie about keeping your doctor. trump is feisty but flexible. obama, cool but rigid. he had no reason to bend. the media already bought into his schtick. obamacare was a lemon but the

media were his lemonheads. in a surprising turn amount, it is trump was listening and critics who refused to hear. the press won't notice but somehow the economy has. guess which one you should care about? eric, this article in the independent journalism review. betty johnson. he was at this dinner and hang it offers a unique insight to the people we are claiming to help, the afghans. >> eric: a love the fact that you pointed out the three questions president trump asked. they were all business related. this is the thing, the whole primary, election season, give the businessman is a chance because may be doing things differently might work. he asked, what do you need to win? what you need to be financially independent, and how can businesses invest in your country? three important questions maybe they had never heard. doing foreign policy a little

bit differently and clearly it resonated. >> greg: , do you think the investor said those things because of the new guy or did he mean it? >> dana: seems they wouldn't have any incentive to say it if it wasn't true and if they didn't believe it. i also think that while the business aspect is interesting, i believe president trump is asking those questions because it's in america's national interest for afghanistan to be successful. a good and growing economy means they are less likely to become a safe haven for terrorism again. the question becomes what does success look like? you can't have success militarily if you don't have the soft power that comes from diplomacy and a growing economy. it will be interesting to see if president trump will accept the recommendation from the pentagon for more troops because i do think that request is probably coming. i think there's good reason for them to consider it.

>> greg: kimberly, you look fantastic and white. >> kimberly: thank you so much. >> dana: what am i, chopped liver? >> greg: everybody looks good. i find it interesting that the most abrasive president of the one who relies on personal tax, coming from real estate deals. he has to get in front of the person and work it out. obama was like, already know the answers. don't need to talk to you. >> kimberly: he has the professorial elitism that he thinks he knows better than everyone else. that was one of the criticisms of his presidency. he was lecturing to the american people. i know better, you do not. you are impulsive and petulant and i'm going to show you the way. part of it was it the way he handled afghanistan and other geopolitical areas we came into. with afghanistan, his plan to withdraw. when he saw that wasn't going to be a good idea and there were ongoing problems, what did he

do? he punted it to the next presidency and said i'm going to let them handle it. he made the most restrictive rules of engagement that cost american lives. 3 out of 4 of the lives lost in afghanistan were under barack obama's presidency. that's a fact. it is, bob. well, the point is, now president trump is going to have to go in there and fix it. one of the first things he did was turn the rules of engagement back to what they were before. ask anybody who's involved in the theater there militarily, special ops forces, that was the thing that hurts them the most. not having the resources but being so restricted they weren't able to take the fight to the tele- band to begin with which led to this abysmal failure we are seeing in afghanistan. >> greg: here's an easy question. has president obama ever admitted he was wrong about anything? trump seems more willing to

change his mind. >> bob: that's for sure. [laughter] we agree on that. let me say in the nicest way possible, usually when people don't know anything, they ask a lot of questions. >> kimberly: oh, my god. >> bob: i have to listen to you. >> eric: they never asked the question, otherwise they would know things. >> bob: do you think he knows anything about afghanistan? >> eric: i don't know if he does but i think it's amazing and perfect that he asked. >> greg: it's important to know what you don't know. >> bob: i understand that. it's a parked asked the questions and i understand that but somehow that we give him credit for this being diplomacy on his part. if you ask him about the health care bill, he would know nothing about it. afghanistan has a very complicated history. it's driven out the biggest powers in the world and it's not going to get fixed. it's not going to get fixed by

us. the soviets went home, and we are going to go home. >> eric: are you done? >> greg: bob, you didn't answer my question. has obama ever admitted he was wrong about anything, including isis? >> bob: most of the time he wasn't wrong. >> eric: what dana pointed out out, will president trump listen to the generals and send ground troops and if needed? >> dana: i said more troops. >> eric: we found out today they did -- the generals recommended sending troops to syria and he went with it. this is something he said he wasn't in favor of but he's listening to the generals. bob, it's important to listen. if you don't exactly have a full understanding of what's going on on the ground in syria and every foreign theater, it's good to hear and listen to the generals.

>> bob: he doesn't know what he's doing. >> kimberly: we didn't say that. >> bob: do you think he knows something about syria? >> kimberly: if you know anything about donald trump a yu know him personally for many years, like i do, he's going to a equip himself to be able to succeed. he's not going to go into the presidency and say sorry, i didn't do a good job. he's going to try to get it right and if he is relying heavily on the advice of generals and people in his cabinet because he wants that strength and intelligence and previous success from people who know what they're doing so he can incorporate that into his foreign policy plan. following up by asking questions so that he can learn and make good decisions. that's what a president should do. >> bob: what do you think he was talking about, how do you do business in afghanistan? if he said that to me. >> eric: every foreign leader should be asking that question.

how can we get business investment to come to our country? when you have that coming of growth and when you have growth you solve your economic problem problems. >> bob: what are you going to do in afghanistan? mining. >> eric: agriculture. >> kimberly: you want them to have a good economy to stabilize the region. that's a very important piece of the puzzle that a lot of people don't think about. when you see the what's happeng with isis and the rest of them, they don't have jobs. >> eric: you liberals said that half the reason for terrorism and isis was economic reasons. he said what's it going to take to bring business investment to afghanistan so these people have an option, an alternative to joining isis. they can start a business. >> greg: a trump hotel in afghanistan. >> bob: you are assuming that george bush and barack obama didn't encourage business to go to afghanistan?

>> eric: did i say that? greg pointed out the guy said no one ever asked me that question before. >> dana: how long has he been in office? >> greg: the other thing he brought up was the thing we talked about that president obama would say what he was going to do before he would do it that would drive afghans crazy. >> dana: he said we're leaving and so that created a vacuum. president trump has shown some willingness in the media has picked up on it to change a viewpoint based on meetings he's had. leading up to the joint session of congress speech he had two weeks worth of meetings with ceos and on that day of the joint session speech, he said -- he floated the idea that maybe was going to change his approach on the immigration bill. that is true. presidents are allowed to change their minds. president obama, after the push

back, he kept the bush tax cuts. if i could down one last thing about the ambassador, one of the ways you develop good relationships is by showing an interest in somebody else. maybe ask their opinion about something. doesn't happen all the time. frankly, for a lot of people. from his business perspective, that's a way you can establish a relationship. probably be able to pick up the phone and call each other and that's good. >> kimberly: that helps with your soft diplomacy, what you were talking about. good relationships. >> bob: maybe trump can do something that no one's been able to do for 300 years. i doubt it. >> greg: i get bob's point. nothing seems to work in afghanistan but it looks like he's listening. >> dana: the purpose of it is not just because he wants a good economy in afghanistan. it is in america's national interests. >> greg: on that note, coming up, top democrats in the house and senate are urging

republicans to scrap their own obamacare replace mint bill. [vo] quickbooks introduces jeanette

>> eric: in an effort to derail president trump's pledge to repeal and replace obamacare,

some democrats have resorted to scare tactics on the american people. >> if legislation is passed and millions of people are thrown off health insurance, not able to get care when they must, thousands of americans will die. speaker in terms of insurance coverage, it's immoral. in terms of giving money to the rich at the expense of working families, it's indecent and wrong. >> trumpcare would be a nightmare for the american people, causing tens of millions to lose coverage. millions more to see the costs of health care go way up. to >> eric: white house announced its working with lawmakers to shape an amendment. the g.o.p. has two options. jam this allows a bill through and watch it fail, then you own it, mr. speaker. or fix it now and of emma kratz

voted down, they are going to eat the mess. k.g., the white house said they're going to work with some republicans to see if they can add amendments. it >> kimberly: i think that's a reasonable reaction to some of the, i guess, evaluation of it, people who are studying the bil bill. does this have the ingredients in it that we need to make it successful? that's what you do. that shows a healthy interest in doing your best and putting forward policy was going to help the american people. if they were being close minded and saying we are not open to anything, it would be a problem. take that, don't just say you're going to do it. incorporate it to make the best it can be. they were very vocal in terms of criticizing obama here to begin when the -- to begin with. gives people a reason to choose it and wanted. not just take the medicine with a grimace on their face.

>> eric: is there a way for republicans to win with this bill? >> dana: sure. i think the president has said they are inextricable link. i appreciate you are trying to call it ryan care. there are attempts to branded as ryan care. the republicans had to put something on the table and i thought sean spicer today was very much in line of what you would want in terms of the beginning of the negotiation. talking to people, meaning both -- meeting with people. i think something like senator sanders is being so ridiculous. he said thousands of people will die. health insurance doesn't mean less care, whether you have it or not. people get care if they don't have health insurance. they can get it under medicaid. may not be the best, may not be what you want but it's not like

people are going to die if this bill passes. >> eric: my biggest problem with the bill is they want us to wait for phase two and phase three. >> dana: that's what the president said. >> eric: here's the problem. if you don't get 60 votes in your putting the easy stuff up front to have most of the majority, you're never going to get 60 votes for phase two or phase three. we are never going to get the promises made down the road. let the democrats eat this. let's own this thing. >> greg: any time you try to reform government, the left shouts three words: people will die. while in cities actually run by liberals, people do die. in most cities where there is high crime, liberal policies. liberal policies kill more people than conservative principles ever will. i find it hypocritical they are shouting about hypothetical deaths when there is death in chicago every day. it >> bob: that's a good points. >> kimberly: i like that

point. >> bob: i listen to you talk about death panels for three years. democrats. you've got to be kidding me. hypocrites. you say stuff about obama that was much more scary about this. the people on the hill did and they were stupid and they couldn't do it right. >> eric: what about the idea -- >> kimberly: there was a compliment in there somewhere. >> eric: put the phases together and say this is the bill. democrats vote for it or obamacare is for you to eat. >> bob: legislatively, it's not that well negotiated. medicaid expansion. >> eric: let the democrats eat it. >> dana: the president has already said that would be the responsible thing to do. he said i could do that. it would be politically expedient but i wouldn't do it. i don't think it's easy for him to backtrack on it. >> eric: also paul ryan and the whip, they said they were going to be will to deliver a

bill that would be able to pass the house, and they didn't. >> dana: there hasn't been a vote yet. >> bob: i don't see how you can put together something, negotiate a deal, with the positions where they are. medicaid is a central part of it. >> eric: we are talking about health coverage. nothing in these bills. they need to tackle health costs and get the health costs to come down. >> bob: this is an insurance bill. >> kimberly: bob, just so you know. bernie sanders is really working his best magic to try to split the democratic party and make a new faction. >> dana: unfortunately for the democrats, he's been successful. >> kimberly: he has been in the election was proof positive. a lot of people supported him and were enjoying and embracing the policies of donald trump. >> bob: we have had that split since --

a wintry mix there. forecasters say it will most likely turn to rain very soon. looks like it may already have. utility companies reporting the storm knocked out power to nearly a quarter million people. they are doing a good job getting a lot of his backup. bedford, massachusetts. at one point, more than 90% of all customers were without power. now down to four. they have done a whale of a job. other problems associated with the system. two systems converged over the northeast at the same time. new jersey, this is one of the coastal towns, stone harbor, new jersey. right on the southern tip of jersey. water taking over the streets and people wandering in boats today. starting to get some snow totals. looks like d.c. is going to finish up with just a couple inches. parts of the new jersey shore with about half a foot. new york city, about 8 inches. a little less in central park, little less down around jfk

the festival because i don't think they are going to survive. >> they think they may not, some of them. so many of the cherry blossoms in d.c. had bloomed early. they have the blooms and they were open and the ones that were open, they are iced over. those most likely will fall off. they are still telling us there will be plenty of cherry blossoms to see. >> kimberly: that affects the tourism. >> bob: it's a good thing, because i will stay home. the japanese got equal with us because they put them around there. everyone stops. traffic accidents. do you think if we had better microwaves up and down the coast we would have better weather control. >> we can see it through microwave cameras. >> dana: great question, bob. >> eric: how is the weather in palm beach, florida. >> it was 72 earlier. today they had a high of about 84. i had a live cameron palm beach earlier. i would've dialed it up for you,

eric, if i had known you were interested. >> dana: i have a question to people who are critical. because the storm shifted and didn't hit d.c. and philly and new york as they thought, there's criticism of the national weather service. i don't think it's warranted but what do you think? >> i don't think so at all. you can't tell exactly where weather is going to go. we talk about hurricanes. they were originally predicting this be 50 miles off coast. if it had been 50 miles off coast, they warm water from the atlantic wouldn't have come into boston and new york and philadelphia. it would have been in the mid-20s instead of the low 30s. this freezing rain would've been snow. we would've had to inches in boston, new york, two feet in boston, two feet in new york just like they projected. instead it moves 40 miles of the west so they got it inland. they can't be perfect. they were close. >> bob: people upset when they

say there's a big storm and it doesn't happen. they should be happy. >> dana: i'm not going to ask what you're doing up at 4:00 in the morning but greg needs to get in here. >> greg: the neuro- government offices were closed today. did anybody notice? -- new york government offices. >> greg, you are a one-trick pony. >> bob: he is one one trick. >> dana: you said new york couldn't handle two feet of snow. i've been here for a couple big storms but you have me a little nervous. >> they were predicting one to r six hours. blizzard like conditions. winds above 25, 30 miles an hour and gusts to 50. no matter how good they are getting rid of the snow and they are good at it, if an overrun view, it overruns you. mother nature can eventually beat you. didn't happen this time.

"wall street journal" reports that president has given the cia new authority to conduct drone strikes against isis and other terrorists. the move is a departure from the obama-era policy. retired four-star general

jack keane explains the potential change in strategy. >> i think the trump administration is largely going back, not because one agency does it better than the other, but because it's covert, classified, and it doesn't get discussed. when the military is conducting an operation, its more open, more public. i think this is fine. this is about keeping it secret i doing it covertly and doing it in places we may not want to talk about. >> kimberly: i agree spot on. >> dana: he went on to say it doesn't mean there wouldn't still be oversight from congress or involvement by the pentagon. doesn't mean that the cia is now some rogue operation doing drone strikes. it means if the cia has a target, they can take it. doesn't have to be disclosed publicly. i think this also shows there's probably a better relationship between the white house and the cia than we've been led to believe in the last few weeks.

>> kimberly: fantastic. >> eric: in general, he said in the interview later on, here's the deal. one its military, by nature, there's going to be more light shed on it. the cia would be able to keep it quieter. president obama first started with the drone strikes, unilateral drone strikes. and then later on he got pushed back and we said hey, he's not going through proper channels. then they changed the strategy in the last year or so to the drones being used for intelligence gathering and then they would send in the military to clean up the mess. this is going back to the original obama drone strike, wipes out everything. >> kimberly: i think this is smart militarily, much in keeping with one of the criticism's candidate trump was making about president obama, he was telegraphing too much. telling the bad guys what we were going to do. this allows more covert

operations and a more secretive nature which i think it's going to be more effective, plus the new drones. >> bob: didn't trump a saying about the generals -- why doesn't he controlled the drones himself? this is, you guys sat around this table and criticized barack obama every day about drone strikes. >> kimberly: i liked it. i didn't criticize president obama about that. >> dana: that they should capture more so you could gather intel. >> eric: we are agreeing with you. >> bob: it's all going to go this way. electronic. >> kimberly: don't eat up the block on my killing segment. >> greg: as the bad guys get worse, always seems that as we progress, evil gets even more

evil. isis is worse than a nazi. i believe that's the case. as they become worse, our killing becomes more humane. we'll never repeat the world wars were re-sent waves of waves of men to their deaths. now the droning is purely surgical. puts the equivalent of a prostate surgery. we do our best not to hurt the innocent. collateral damage. i think it's important we are more concerned with how to kill them what to call the very refreshing return to common sense. it's interesting, this is the way it's going to be. it's going to be technology, fewer men on the ground, and we are going to be eliminating them. >> bob: by the way, isis is about to be blown out of mosul, which means they are out of iraq
