groupthink. our friends at "the five" are next. see you tomorrow. ♪ ♪ >> hello, i'm greg gutfeld with kimberly guilfoyle, jesse watters, juan williams,el and she sleeps on a cotton ball, dana perino, "the five"! ♪ now we all know kathy griffin will do anything for attention, except apparently be funny. so she has to rely on shock value to get attention from those who still think that marilyn manson is edgy. she embarrassed herself each new year's eve on cnn, alongside a giggly anderson cooper who certainly knows his crap. >> i don't care what he says to the russians, he is the president of the united states.

if he wants to say that, barack obama wants to say whatever, if george bush says i look in his eyes, whatever. >> oh, mr. cooper. so comedy is another thing, maybe why kathy griffin is embracing twhat we are going tos disturbing, so if there are kids in the room, tell them to go get you aem beer. here is griffin in a photo shoot holding a mock decapitated head of president trump. i'm glad we put mock in there. it is not his real head. here is the behind the scenes video. >> tyler and i are not afraid to do images that make noise. a look at the artist. [indistinguishable] >> just like that? >> we are going to do it. call your dad, apologize. you, me, darrell in mexico today. not surviving this.

okay. >> so brave, so edgy. her defense, she considers this art. it kind of reflects trumps impact. i suppose i can say the same about griffin by pointing to the content in any bus stationt. public toilet. but if you are mentally unstable unlike griffin, you will see this for what it is. it is a beheading of the president. imagine how cnn would react if it was president obama, hillary clinton, done by someone here. brian stelter's lip would be extra sweaty if that is indeed possible. but mocked by isis, the joke is deliberately linked to those beheadings. if the joke is not only on donald's head, but on theirs as well. so sure, call it art. but we know what it is. it is a copout. you are milking attention through an infantile effort to enrage. so if we get mad, you win. so we should shrug instead. i would say that she should hang her head in shame, but she must

know what shame is first. while we were going to the show, she has since put out an apology. would you like to see it, anybody? >> please. >> let's do that. >> hey, everybody. it is me kathy griffin, i sincerely apologize. i'm seeing the reaction of these images. i am a comic. i cross the line. i move the line. then i cross it.e i went way too far. the images to disturbing. i understand how it offends people. it was not funny. i get it. i have made a lot of mistakes in my career.ha i will continue. ask your forgiveness. going to ask the photographer to take down the image. i beg for your forgiveness. i went too far. i made a mistake. i was wrong. >> if you, sorry, i just jumped in there. in the monologue, you show the video behind the scenes where she is talking to the photographer insane, call your dad, tell them we are not going to survive this. of the whole thing is s s manufactured. free speech does not mean free

of consequence. and she said, i'm going to stand by my art. she is not. she is a total wimp. she wanted to get this picture on there to have the shock value, create a firestorm, then do the apology so that she can get a ton of attention. i do not believe her at all. and i'm a pretty nice person.f >> you are.er >> i would be lying. >> she is very mean behind the scenes, i want everybody to know that. >> you cannot look at her in the eye when she is in the green room. she puts little labels onn all the food. >> prescheduled apology? >> yes, exactly. >> she is trying to be shocking, but it feels so sad that you have to resort to this. it was preplanned.d. this is what, she already knew what she was doing. >> it seemed desperate. she wanted the attention. she got it. we don't know if she will pay the price for it. do people want to watch new year's on cnn and think of kathy griffin holding a bloodied trump head, cnn will have to

make that decision. >> no, watch fox instead. >> watch kg ring in the new year. >> now you are committed. >> may be that was kathy griffin's way of getting out of this thing by doing that. >> can't stand anderson cooper, she has an excuse to leave now. i think it is more of a media story for me. because i remember some knucklehead hung obama, it was covered on cnn wall-to-wall. >> or the rodeo clown. >> he lost his job, banned for life. banned for life from the rodeo clown. >> people were fired. investigations, republicans in congress were asked to condemn it.d this happens, not just some run-of-the-mill person, this is a democrat donor. a cnn host on new years. this is a big-time hollywood comic, maybe b list, but still. no one is going to cover "the new york times," i predict, not wall-to-wall on cnn. so when there is a republican controversy, the media covers.

and the democrats controversy, they cover it up. >> wow, i don't think so. what kathy griffin did is inexcusable. i think that it was all about getting attention.ff and they were lookingng a different strategy, i am confirming what you said. i think from my perspective you are right. but i think that she was looking and discussing with the photographer are various ways that they could get attention. and get this kind of reaction that we get the top of our show. but let's not get into a thing of selective outrage here.bu at the president, president trump had ted nugent in the white house the other day. if ted nugent who has been investigated for threatening obama when obama was president. ted nugent -- >> what has he done? >> he said i want to be in jail or dead if obama is re-elected in 2012. >> we did not support him, did we? >> no, i don't know who did it, but he is in the white house now being embraced by our current president.

you have things like carl palladino, other guys we are talking about obamas in the most racist ways. or talking about clinton -- >> media outrages difference republican or democrat. >> we should be outraged at kathy griffin, but let's not engage with selective outrage. >> the media is engaging, i don't care what she does. she is not funny. >> we have polarized politics, inviting this kind of offensive display, and i think it should stop. >> who saidd that president obama, probably bill clinton, remember that a couple of years ago? get me coffee?on kimberly, is this one of those things that people will forget over time? or will it affect her career? she is a liberal, therefore she has the immunity bubble? >> i don't think people should forget about it at all. i'm never going to forget about it.uesh i think that it is disgusting and reprehensible, and she should have apologized to the

president for doing that. somebody did that with president obama, god forbid.id can you imagine the amount of press coverage, basically just desperate for attention. she always has been. she always will be. she is not funny. this was not funny at all. i feel bad for his family and his grandkids and people who see it, it is so disrespectful. cnn should not allow her to do the new year's eve show at all whatsoever. because her "sorry" was not good enough. it was also not sincere. it was very contrived. >> there was another idea for the photo shoot, she was going to be naked in a bathtub full ob cheetos, i think we got lucky on this one. [laughter] w you can say is that a slam at how she looks? i don't care? a >> i think that we can say just about anything we want. >> it does not help that she think she is actually helping advance the cause, that they have better ideas than t president trump and republicans, they are it actually sets them back. especially when we are dealing with an enemy who uses beheadings to try and advance an

ideological agenda. think about somebody like james foley, daniel pearl, these were victims in this war, and to get. attention to advance an ideological agenda that is so against free speech. eventually tries to claim free speech as a reason. >> i'm not sure she was going after that. i think she may have medusa's head, that is a famous mythological image. >> that's what i think. >> you are going with that? >> not that guy. >> so many words, the medusa who her stare will turn you into a stone. >> you don't want to go there. this is so horrible. it has nothing to do with medusa, it is isis, it is horrible. maybe she should spend some time with isis. maybe then she will have a better understanding. >> this is a pop culture story, to my mind.

not even political. it is so weak. the real reason that we should be outrage sitting here is this guy in portland killing people and uttering hate speech towards muslims. that is something we should be talking about. this is a pop story gone by tomorrow. >> apparently at a trump rally and he was a bernie sanders supporter, so a lot of interesting parts to that story, the dude was showing up at the trump rally and freak people out, they made him leave, a complete psycho. >> yes, we are aware of that. it is outrageous. but i'm wondering about that is it art covering everything? >> no, it is an excuse. >> i could have used that excuse. [laughter]r] >> remember when sarah palin had the map that had targets on it?u i guess she could have said, well, that is art. but she was saying these are the targets. but the left called it eliminationist.

with the fbi. he will be fully cooperative with any information he has. >> the president has total confidence in kushner, others are casting doubt on the accuracy of the reports. k >> i don't trust the story as far as i can throw it. it makes no sense that the russian ambassador would report back to moscow in a channel that he most likely knows we are moderating. the whole story line a suspicion. >> i don't trust the story. the russians are leaking d it oa channel that we know we are going to pick up. we have had the back channel connections with adversaries for generations. henry kissinger had them with the russians in the chinese. hillary had a back channel to establish the opening negotiations with the iranians and want ended up as the iranian nuclear deal. this happens all the time. i >> all right, so knowing that russia has a history of trying

to -- basically using propaganda and fake news, is it possible that the russians are makinghe this up and leaking it to sell more chaos?? >> we have always had that putin is the global prankster. it does not matter what side he is on, because he creates turmoil on both sides. that is why hete is always winning. but i am thinking about this in a bigger picture, if you think about the 1980s. 37 years ago, the media was on the wrong side of the cold war. while we were sitting there talking about ussr. and how they were infiltrating in our hemisphere, trying to undermine capitalism, they were obsessed with the post-vietnam era -- america as the loser. do you think possibly 37 years from now or around 2047 that the media will finally go, hey, the radical islam stuff is pretty dangerous, and we will have moved on fighting robots? my point is this, the media hasw always been behind the times when it comes to the truee threat. so right now, what i believe the trump administration has done,

probably naively, sloppily, and in certain ignorant ways of the process trying to go after the greater risk at the time which is the apocalyptic threat of radical islam, and that made them say, let's back channel and talk about syria, do things they are. so they made some mistakes. but the idea is bigger. while the media is focusing on russia, they are focusing on islam, and this is exactly what happened with the cold war. there are people like reagan who understood the real threat, but the media was still licking their wounds and about vietnam and how america was at fault. >> it's interesting you bring up vietnam, i was at a commentary how the polarization that we are experiencing today in america was rooted in that conflict. this news comes amid and other personnel change with the

white house communications director announcing that he is leaving his post after three months. not unprecedented, that happen in the obama administration after the three months, her name was ellen? she went to commerce department right after that. but perhaps a different circumstance. they have a battle rally team ready for defense. how can they make sure that they keep the story on defense and not become the story? that's what i am thinkingm about today. >> i think you saw that in a different town during the press briefing today with sean spicer, not giving specifics about it in terms of -- really trying to separate that out between handling the russia story and then daily matters in terms of the press briefing. so yes, you don't want to give them any ammunition to use against you, i think thatou switching the change now -- it was a while coming even though that was a short tenure. that is not a surprise to me, because i was going to happen. and they really need to overhaul

that job. the president is very upseth wih the communications. he is frustrated with the press in general, saying that again about fake news. as it relates to the russian investigation, where's the evidence of this?ha how did it all leak? dozens of people's names in the transition that they have asked for the names of, and nowdo leaking different names, you see the name lead to, boris because he is russian, so that adds a little bit to the story. but where is the evidence there. he is cooperating fully. so this to me is really left hysteria, i don't see any evidence thus far that want to do this and spin the wheels on it, it is like frothing at the mouth over russia and making the is accusations. i see people saying walking through jared kushner, and other people. so let's see where this goes. it might be much ado about nothing. >> or will the democrats think that it is much ado about something? >> that is poetic.

>> speaking of medusa. >> know it, you are a poet. >> you are missing a big, big story. it seems to me on friday you get reports about back channeln communication, on saturday and sunday you hear jared kushner had previously undisclosedy contact with the russians. then you see adam schiff, the top democrat saying, you know what, we should do something about these guys. we are not sure about what he is telling and doing with theve russians, that is pretty serious given that he is the president's son-in-law. >> what do you think he is -ldoing? >> i don't know what he is doing. he is trying to jump to any conclusion. >> maybe they are looking at the world and going, it is not 1977 anymore, it is 2017. >> that is not a reason to break the law. >> what law? back channels? >> no, the idea that you would do business with the russians in the base of sanctions, then promise as a private citizen, remember, not even in office, and doing contact with theis bankers who have been putting

money into the trump empire, this raises some serious questions about how he is working.g. >> raising some serious questions? >> why is it sinister when hillary has a back channel with the iranians? that is not sinister? >> no, it is not. >> oh, really, so they give them all that cash? they just want to establish diplomacy, and you say, she should go to jail. >> and now they are investigating later. >> clear line, in one case she is representing the interests oe the united states and trying to prevent iran from getting weapons. >> so kushner is not trying to represent the united states either?ry >> apparently he was trying to undo sanctions imposed by the u.s. >> so you know what is the question. maybe you are the leaker? >> i'm not the leaker, that's for sure. >> it is like 5000 papered cuts. you have to leave this guy out,

>> welcome back, breaking news from the pentagon today. at the first time ever the military shot down a ballistiche missile during a test, the new ground break offensive system. it was tested from the air force base in california. it is an important development in our effort to deal with the threats posed by north korea,ba conducted nine ballisticme misse tests this year. secretary james mattis has it would be a catastrophe if the threat ever escalates to war.ea >> conflict in north korea, john, that would probably be the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetimes part of the north korean regime has hundreds of artillery cannons, rocket launchers within range of one of the most densely populated city is on the earth, that is the capital of south korea. the bottom line is, it would be catastrophic war if this turns into combat. >> so, greg, they did the test that went very well.

so what i like is the fact that they jumped on it right away to try and do the defensive measure, not like having conducting meetings upon meetings to figure out if they should make the call to do this. and i think it is because it was public. north korea knows who they are dealing with. >> you guys can do that, we can do this?s? you know, that's it. i like general mattis. he says like it is. he says catastrophic -- to whom? i think what he is saying, this could be such an ugly big war though it would probably be very ugly for them. and i think population of about california, 25 million, so you would have to deal with this rather swiftly. i think he is giving the message to everyone around there that this will not be something that just takes a lot of time. it will be very brutal.th i think he is trying to speak adult words, so that people translate and understand. >> no, yeah, i am glad he plays for our team.
