>> hello everyone, i'm kimberly guilfoyle, along with juan williams, jesse watters, dana perino, and greg gutfeld. it's 9:00 in new york city and this is "the five." today, roger ailes, passed away at the age of 77, will look back at his life, his career and to share some personal stories later this hour. but first, breaking news tonight. president trump is speaking on camera for the first time since the justice department decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate possible coordination between his campaign and the russian government between the 2016 election. >> i respect the move in the entire thing has been a witchwe hunt, there is no collusion between myself and my campaign, but i can always speak for myself and the russians, i think

it divides the country. i think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things. so i can tell you that we want to bring this great country of ours together. >> kim: dan heninger wrote a piece that was just let trump be trump.r my advice, when you have a special counsel, the best thing you can do is say nothing. don't comment on it and move on so you can focus on your agenda and talk about jobs, the economy and is grateful and trip concept that he has put together. the advice is useless because he's going to do what he's going to do. when he decided to comment thiso morning by twitter and againom here, it's a new way to deal with a special counsel, i don't think they realize how serious this actually is. if they would like to say this is all fake, it might be. it could very well turn out to be that there is absolutely

nothing there but it is like walking on a high wire without a net above the grand canyon. >> kimberly: doesn't sound fun. what do you make of this? discussing it, about the speciat counsel. >> greg: my favorite sport is one he said i speak for myself and the russians. i know what he meant, but it was still pretty funny. i'm also represented the russians in this. the great things about this investigation as they took the ball away from the kids playing in the street. they can no longer play with this ball. of course, they will find another ball because this investigation will never be enough. instead of it being the right step, it will be the first step. it won't be enough, we need more investigations, the thing is how many times have we counted this guy out? i've countered him out during the campaign, i get a sense that donald trump is the opposite of bill clinton, he is a

creature that thrives on the antagonism and the fight. which is why you can't count him out. he's like three cats, he has 27 lives and when i see him up there, i don't see somebody that really gives a which i think is kind of refreshing and refreshing to me and scary to his critics. >> kimberly: what do you make of that? >> jesse: brilliant strategy, this has been mapped out for months. >> greg: that's not what i said. put words in my mouth you crazy liberal. >> jesse: i do agree to a certain extent, trump is rut a traditional politician, he doesn't play by traditional political rules and people are judging him by the traditional political rules and he was brought in to d.c. to break the rules, so that's one thing. in context, i hate to do this td

juan but i want to put this in perspective and the obama scandals, you had people lying and dying and being bribed from countless occasions from irs, to benghazi to the bergdahl trade, hillary smashed blackberries with a hammer and deleted 30,000 emails that were under subpoena. even on domestic terrorist attacks, the fbi could have prevented those things and the president comes out and makes it about guns and islamophobia. in all those things, there was no special counsel and the media had no appetite. here whatever you called this trump, comey, russian scandal, no one died, no one lied, no onn destroyed hard drives and there is a special counsel all of ad sudden and the media isf bloodthirsty for impeachment. until i see a scandal, i think right now it just looks like an investigation. >> kimberly: wasn't the media and liberals bloodthirsty for impeachment or something like that from the beginning, because this wasn't somebody they supported or thought was fit to be president?

>> juan: i think it's right when conservatives say the liberals have never gotten over the election, i think that's true. i don't think what you said was true, jesse. no one lied? i think we know that mike flynn lied. i think we know that donald trump -- >> jesse: that's not what investigation is about. >> dana: this investigation started last july before the election ever took place into the intelligence investigation into possible collusion between the trump campaign officials >> jesse: who lied? >> dana: i don't know, that's why there's an investigation.

>> jesse: he is being looked at right now f a foreign agent. >> juan: that's a scandal inli and of itself, he had a million dollars from turkey and then opposing any action that would not benefit a turkey as a u.s. official. >> jesse: that is not the focus the investigation. >> juan: trump said this was a witch hunt, you're doing the opposite. kevin mccarthy said it is a joke, i bet the russians are paying trump, this was last summer. i don't want anybody to say that someone is paying me. there was big news today that seems to me when you have rod rosenstein who was the deputy attorney general and acting attorney general because jefff sessions has recused himself tell people he knew comey was going to be fired, when he said the memo as a basis for comey's firing. he was set up and used as a stooge. m

>> greg: i'm sorry, all of these errors are not political errors, their human errors. when trump says to comey, he's a good guy, go easy on him, that's a boss does. >> kimberly: why is that an error in the rosenstein piece in particular? >> greg: i don't like this guy, can you do a report on them. i think i've done that many times at work. >> kimberly: that's an error? >> greg: it's nonpolitical human error commits what a guy does who's been a businessman. >> kimberly: say it's loose semantics. before it's write a memo that will cover me because i want to fire him. >> juan: press secretaries didn't say trump told rosenstein to write the memo.

it seems to me when you also have reports that the trump campaign had 18 undisclosed contacts with the russians in the last seven months, oh, gee, something's going on. i then you have a trump saying that this is the greatest witch hunt ever. what does that do?hi >> greg: the opposite of a witch hunt is the way you might have approached lois lerner or how the media approached lois lerner and the irs scandal. that's the opposite of a witch hunt. nobody bothered to hunt anything. >> jesse: if you're on the defensive, your shredding documents and withholding information from congress, a holder was held in contempt of congress for. hillary destroyed a 30,000 emails, that's look a little defensive to me. >> juan: after all of the republican probes and hearings, anything? >> jesse: that's why he was fired because he botched that investigation.

>> greg: you're laughing at the same argument you used on him. you're saying there's no there there because there hasn't been an investigation. >> juan: i said there was an investigation, and extensive endless investigation of the benghazi, and irs. >> kimberly: president trump today also denied that he shut down the fbi investigation against his former national t security advisor, michael flynn. >> did you at any time urge former fbi director james comey to close or back down the investigation into michael flynn. >> president trump: no, no. next question. >> have you wondered if anything you have done is something that might be worthy of these criminal charges as some on the left are implying? >> president trump: i think it's totally ridiculous, everyone thinks so. we have to get back to working our country properly it so we can take care of the problems

that we have. >> kimberly: no. >> greg: what do you expect him to say? do you think you're guilty of anything that was illegal? you've got me there. what you expect them to say? >> juan: how about the old al gore, mistakes were made. he knows that mistakes were made, he knows there's been an admission the trump team and knew that mike flynn was under investigation when they put him in his national security advisor? >> kimberly: how would you if you knew he was going to takead the podium -- >> dana: i think referring to the special counsel, it would be fine, i'm going to talk about whatever.. if they know, fine, just say nothing more. just be quiet, move on. i also think that we can do this

whole thing about what about in the past and it makes for good discussion and i do not like hypocrisy at all. i like that part of the discussion but it doesn't matter a hill of beans when it comes to this actual investigation. they'll say what about this, t what about that from eight years ago. everyone should want this real tight and get it over with as quickly as possible. >> kimberly: what's the likelihood of that? >> dana: i don't know if the facts, as more and more stuff comes out, the $500,000 in the turks, a conversation with susan rice, action that was not taken on his advice that wasn't disclosed and mike pence didn't know about that, nobody ever told me that he was under investigation, michael flynn's people say --od there's a lot here that i think will be cleared up pretty quickly by a professional like bob mueller. >> jesse: flynn is a problem,

he was a problem and he continues to be a problem. greg as much as it pains me to say made a great point to the other day that hoping is not obstruction. if hoping was a crime, everyone would be in prison. >> dana: when your boss says i hope you do this, that's why you document things, if that includes harassment or something like this --en >> jesse: if someone says i hope what happens if i don't considered harassment, but they have a lower threshold. >> dana: you might, but that's not what the law says. l >> jesse: i think the law >> jesse: i think the law might be intent to undermine. >> dana: president trump is saying he's not under oath, -- >> jesse: i'd hate to compareno it to obama, there was not a smidgen of corruption in the irs.

>> juan: here's the problem with intent. he tells everyone else get out of the room, i just want to talk to comey. >> jesse: maybe it was a romantic dinner, you don't know. >> kimberly: things are very. different in the business boardroom, i want to have a talk, you and i ceo to ceo, everyone leave the room. very different here and he needs to be advised asas to what's proper to protect the president and the united states. coming up. yes, sweetie. >> greg: i'd politely been trying to interject. one of the key examples with flynn whether it was right or wrong, it was not a political move on his part it's called a human move. if you're a nonpolitical person, what do you rely on? loyalty. he thinks this guy flynn made some mistakes but he's a good guy. that's a human response, it might not be the right response, it's not the political response, but it's a guy who defaults on loyalty which is kind of a human

quality. >> kimberly: i'm glad we waited for that point i appreciate it. president trump says he's close to picking the new fbi director will tell you who the frontrunner is, stay tuned, next. is, stay tuned, next next. next. ♪ liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> kimberly: switch music today, nine days after he dismissed james comey as fbi director, president trump says his top choice to lead to the >> dana: kimberly and i switcht music today, nine days after he dismissed james comey as fbi director, president trump says his top choice to lead to the bureau is a former senator joe lieberman, his announcement could come at any moment. >> president trump: were going to have a director who is going, to be outstanding, i'll announce such director very soon. i think the people and the fbi will be very, very, very, very thrilled. >> kimberly: senator joe lieberman could be an interesting choice, these giants of washington, d.c., that have good reputations willing to be public servants and come backhe and do this. it's not a done deal and we just found out to "the new york times" is saying the white house is signaling the announcement may not come before the president leaves on hisew foreign trip tomorrow.

>> kimberly: really both sidestr get along with him very well, he is very personable, he's bright, he's somebody that he tends to identify more with republicans. somebody that senator mccain has considered as a running mate, a vice presidential choice before he chose sarah palin and different things i see him attend in terms of the hudson institute and whatnot, he's a very smart as it relates to foreign policy and national security. i think he's a patriot and very hard-working, i don't think he would be a bad choice. i think he would be a good choice, it depends. you have to evaluate all the potential options and candidates who would be best suited for that particular organization, which is a very important one especially during this time. >> dana: democrats support him? >> juan: no. this was a surprise to me because like kimberly, i've had

very positive experience withus senator lieberman over the years, i find him trustworthy. here's a situation right now.he he was with a law firm since he left the senate and the law firm has representative trump and some litigation, in addition to which he is back to john mccain who was is very close friend in the senate, the three amigos, mccain, lindsey graham, and senator lieberman on somebody issues. he backed mccain against obama, that didn't sit well with the hardlines politics of the democratic party. subsequent to that, oppose the iran nuclear deal that obama was struggling to get past in the face of republican opposition. >> dana: just because his law firm had done some work for

president trump who is a billionaire, it doesn't mean that joe lieberman was actuallyl working on any of that business, i guess we would have to see ifs that was the case, doesn't seem he would be tainted in that way. >> jesse: i think is a a great choice to be fbi director. i interned for joe lieberman when i was at trinity college in connecticut.or >> kimberly: it explains your greatness, it's lieberman's work. >> jesse: that was after, that came after. i think it smart enough if trump ever invites him over for dinner, he'll say no. he's not an electric speaker so i don't think he's going to be hot talking it's all over the place. just remember what hisis background is, he was part ofha the recount and urged gore toth drop out to save the country and to heal the country. o he was also someone that voted against impeaching clinton, what he did in the office was reprehensible. he voted for the iraq war, he's a principled guy with integrityb >> kimberly: nonpartisan in so many respects.

>> juan: he's never been a prosecutor, he's never been an fbi agent, he's never served in the justice department. never handled a major agency. >> dana: do have an interesting feelings on joe lieberman?aj >> greg: lieberman is a reasonable democrat, he's an old white male and we've had enough of them. we are overlooking the obvious choice, who is available right now beloved by the media no matter what she does, chelsea manning. the biggest trader in history, who has the largest amounts of classified documents and 35 years and everybody still loves her.

>> jesse: barack obama. >> greg: the mainstream media was so obedient that he was left unchallenged and it resulted in a mediocre president. he had the potential to become a good president but he never had to try, he never had to explain himself. t if you requested that he explain himself, that would bef, construed as racist. if you criticized obama, you were a bigot, we went through that for years. that assumption resulted in trump because of so many people were tired as being smeared as racist when they were just conservative. >> jesse: he never faced any adversity, that he had to overcome in his presidency. >> juan: what is going on? you yourself, i can say, i can give testimony, i'm a witness greg gutfeldld going after obama regularly. >> jesse: one guy on what network.

>> dana: i think they would be wise to listen to him. if you think back to 2006 when republicans lost all the seats in the midterm election during president bush's second term, who led the democratic effort for all those seats to be won? it was rahm emanuel. i think he understands politics and messaging veryy well. he's in the midwest is not on one of the coastal states were he's cocooned. if the daily stories out of the house weren't taking up all the oxygen in the room, i think the bigger story would be the democrats six months, seven months after the election are still completely in disarray, they do not have a strong leader. they do not have a plan, they are running in all directions. they benefit from all of this trump coverage so they can escape under the radar. >> juan: so kimberly, what you hear which rahm emanuel says, he says democratic values are okay, it's just that middle-class americans aren't hearing it. is he lying or is this real? it's a failure to communicate.ea >> kimberly: how convenient

didn't see, we will always be grateful for that. we saw something in him too, something will likely never see again. i'm going to start with you dana, your thoughts? >> dana: when you said you wouldn't be here, i think that is true possibly for everybody here at the table. for me, i had never expressed my own opinion in public before i came here. i had been on television, i was speaking on somebody else's behalf. i don't know what he saw in me that i thought i could do this, i remember when we first started "the five" six years ago, were talked about legalization of drugs, what do you think, i don't know. with some time and space to develop your career is actually happened here for me. i saw this george w. bush doesn't think he would've been president without roger ailes and the political consultancy he provided for him and the humor.

i would say this so i don't take up all the time. if you're interested and communications or television or you want to improve your own presentation style. he wrote a book called you are the message. if you haven't read it yet, put it on your list or reread it. it gives you the best insight in how to be a good communicator. it's technology agnostic, it's how to be the best communicator is yourself. my sympathies for his family. >> kimberly: that was also very instrumental in my life, it was part of the assigned reading at uc davis and my rhetoric and communication class. i loved the book, and i underlined, i highlighted it, no big deal. i never forget the day i was on cnn, roger ailes would like to speak to you i was like well. like "the wizard of oz." i want to tell you i think you're doing a great job on television, interested in coming to the fox news channel.

i was so excited i boughtht my book and it was all marked up and i was so happy to have him sign it. to meet somebody that had such an incredible, form of impact on so many people's lives. i came over here and he took a chance on me and developed me from a prosecutor into a talent, he saw something in all of us, each of us have a unique story. what i really loved most about him as he was such a loyal person. he was very devoted to his employees whether you were on camera, off-camera, we all mattered. he cared about our families, what my father was dying he was there for me. he became a second father to me. this is a complicated life he lived, he made me a better person. certainly a better cohost and on-air talent, very good to my son, we share sunday's -- it was

all part of the family even though my parents have passed away and i have no family here. my heart goes out to beth and zachary who was a lovely young man who's been raised incredibly well, bless him and his commitment to not only the channel and all of our lives and to this country. >> juan: looking at it from a purely political standpoint, i think he had a key role in nixon, i think he had a key role in reagan, that's where i met him. i think he had a key role in george hw bush's presidency. he not only created the top cable news channel in america, but he also put powerful peoplee in office i'm just as her talk about mitch mcconnell, he wouldn't be there without roger ailes the senate majority leader.ut his influence and power is so incredible, i do think you've got to discuss, he left here and

very troubled circumstances. terrible charges against him, it's just not the roger i knew, not the roger i loved. he was so great to me come up and he persuaded my wife that id should come here back in 1996,er '97 when i first signed a contract. just a great guy all around. >> jesse: i'm incredibly grateful to work for roger ailes, one of the most patriotic people ever met. one of the funniest people very quickwitted. great judge of talent, understood the tv screen, an excellent storyteller and i owe everything to him. my whole life and career the last couple years, it is unfortunate he left here in conjunction with some of the charges, inappropriate behavior. i just want to say he's been a

great father, great husband, i feel terrible for them and i i wish them all the best and he's a very influential american. >> greg: one last thing, i was watching sean hannity on tucker and he said something that was so -- it sounded just like me. when hannity started he said he was terrible. i was worse. the fact that somebody would stick with you when you are bad, he stuck with hannity when hannity claims he was bad. you should have seen "red eye" in 2007, a sweaty mess like me? he stuck with it may be because he wasn't watching it, but he stuck with it. once again, our deepest h condolences to the family, "the five" returns in a moment with an unlimited mileage warranty on your certified pre-owned mercedes-benz, you can drive as far as you want for up to three years and be covered. so no matter where you go,

>> kimberly: time now for one more thing. roger ailes the founder of the company died today at the age of 77. he was a patriot, he love this >> kimberly: time now for one more thing. roger ailes the founder of the company died today at the age of 77. he was a patriot, he love this country, especially the men and women in uniform. on a personal note, he hired me in 2006 and he saw something in me and gave me the best opportunity of my life. i will be forever grateful. he was the most generous open hearted man who prided himself on loyalty and that's exactly how i will remember him. he saw something in each and every one of us who work here at the fox newsal channel. his camaraderie and positive attitude made this place thrive.

he taught all of us to push ourselves, to believe in ourselves, if we could reach high to reach higher. may he rest in peace and god bless his wife beth and son zach. >> juan: first of all, god bless roger. but it's been another crazy week in washington if you been watching the news. while everyone thinkin partisanship is at an all-time high, take a look at this picture. here you have ultraconservative arkansas center tom cotton, ben sasse of nebraska and leading democrat in defiance of trump senator chuck schumer of new york. people began captioningri this photo it looks like schumer and i are smoking reefer outside of wedding. they were not smoking reefer but as you can see in the second shot, senator mccain joinedal

in it so maybe there were a talk legalizing reefer. >> dana: video shows use of the turkish thugs who were beating up american citizens onn embassy row. there's new video does date shot by voice of america that shows that erdogan himself saw what was happening, blessed it, turn around and walked back into the embassy. i would ask mr. president when you see him at the meeting, punch back verbally. if he's able to deliver a message like this committee should do that nato in front of all of those leaders. >> jesse: address a scandal called tie gate, i wore a tie last night that was very, very controversial. it was from britches in chappaqua, new york,, i was wandering the woods looking for hillary which are good to see on my weekend show on 8:00 on saturday night. f >> greg: you tied it in.
