roy moore. it added drama to the president's trip to pensacola, florida tonight, but miles from the alabama border. >> hello. >> hi! >> [laughing] >> it's new york city and this is "the five." >> ♪ >> in a few hours from now president trump will be firing up the crowd in pensacola, florida, at a make america great again rally. in a tweet this morning he said we have done so much in so short of a period of time. yes, we are planing to do so much more. critics hate to give mr. trump any credit. he is delivering on promises to the american people.

he pledge to make the begreat again. and our economy added 228,000 jobs last month. the president promised tax cuts. an overhaul was passed by the gop and the senate. he kept his word to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. fewer illegal immigrants are trying to sneak in our country and we are crushing isis. anyone else tired of all this winning? >> [laughing] >> absolutely! >> hey, that's my job. >> oh. >> [laughing] >> fact check? >> i heard a story that said donald trump keeper of promises. he is not a politician. he is a man of action. he is a businessman and he

followed through. the economy is humming and we are bombing the hell out of isis and mexico will still pay for the wall. a record low on joblessness. 4.7% hispanic unemployment. in the obama administration economy 1,000 manufacturing jobs were lost each month. the trump economy created 159,000 manufacturing jobs. and internationally tearing up the treaties. getting out of the bad trade deals. we heard about isis. he is fulfill promises to the conservatives. still maintaining a connection to the forgotten men and women of this country. defending our flag, our history and second amendment. he does rallies to maintain the

relationship. >> this is an auspicious day for jesse waters from the make america great again movement. the speech comes on a high note for the president. can you add or improve on anything? >> let's go over those accomplishments one more time. >> yes! >> what a strange phenomenon this presidency has been. we have a large part of the country who believes that we are in a mad max sequel. the rest of us, it's like every day is nascar. it's an exercise in illusion based on confirmation biassed. we are looking at the exact same thing, but two camps see two different things. people who are so entrenched in negativity, they are led by emotion and can't lead go. a lot of confirmation bias is

fueled by the emotional reaction to donald trump. the key is to separate the psychological effects of trump from his actions. his in your face personality will always salt the wounds of people who don't like him. like tonight. if you saw what we did in the opening, we lifted the practical results of his actions. divorced from the psychological effects of his personality. when you do that, you have to admit this is a phenomenon. this is a consequential leader. >> all right. dana perino, what should the president focus on today. some accomplishments to highlight and focus on? >> sure. the first year of any presidency is usually the most consequential. you have all of the juice from the election behind you.

the two viewpoints that was true during the obama years as well. >> i agree. >> if there were a different network, at the end of obama's first year they could have had the exact same list. it's how you spin it. another network may say here are all of the things that trump has failed to do. i do think if he wants to look at things to tick off the box, it's really good. the obama team might say, today 86 consecutive months of job growth. only been in office 11 months. there is no doubt that consumer confidence shot up. deregulation effort is a consequence. the other thing is something having an impact and that's the pulling back of all of those executive orders that president obama put in place because they were not solid.

he was able to walk them back. that helped fuel good economic things. there is a campaign promise that he made that he hasn't kept they think -- i understand why politically he did not. that's on the top tock rate. -- top tax rate. he campaigned on a 38% top tox rate. it might look like he was giving the rich too much of a pass. political is doesn't matter. they will say he is doing everything just for the rich. for good economic growth policy, he should work with the congress next week and fulfill that campaign promise. it will fuel the economy more. goose it a little bit. >> oh. >> watch your mouth, lady!

>> i don't know. >> [laughing] >> if he said it, it would be on the blog. >> jesse waters you agree? >> yes, we need top tax relief badly. he said it would be reagan-esque. it's mondale-esque. it has to be a 1.5 trillion dollars deficit. it could have been a lot more aggressive. >> juan, you have the floor now. just crush it. >> it's not hard to crush it. >> [laughing] >> it's like what greg said. who pasted from the white house communication office. approval rating is down 32%. >> the rating is up. >> let me finish.

>> you don't have to like him. >> if this was obama, you guys would be jumping on the table. >> oliver [overlapping talking]. >> the tax plan you are bragging about. most people think is a terrible deal. he will get criticized anyway. >> [overlapping talking]. >> the rich are getting their money back. the working man and woman -- this goes to dana's point. well, they will say you give it away to the rich. the promise was that the middle-class or working class americans would benefit from this tax plan. that's not happening. >> think the numbers are pretty good on that. >> i don't think so. i think even today when we look at the job growth: oh, this is great. the job growth this years slower than it was last year! oh my goodness.

>> [laughing] >> if you count from trump's election it's better. i will give you a calendar. >> it's not the grinch stealing your coal, here. the echo chamber is beth thick. -- a little thick here. even in terms of wages. work force participation. we said obama had low unemployment. a lot of people are not participating in the work force because they are discouraged. lack of participation is up under trump. >> that's something the president wants to tackle next year. work force participation is the amount of people who are on

benefits that are able-boddied but would lose money going to work. the wage pressure issue could get better and they could get people back to work that way. >> a lot of these people are older. retirees. the bottom line: forget the democrats. just look at the republicans. guess what? republicans have a lower opinion of trump today. >> all you are doing is citing polls. >> how well did work for the election? >> it didn't work at all. >> your first years almost always the most consequential. it gets harder in an election year to get bigger things done. you try to get them done as much as you can. the tax reform and get

infrastructure next year. >> what is helping him is the media creating a monster by creating stereotypes and fear. they turned trump into something else. like an orange phantom. he is almost like a super-villian. that added to his appeal, i think. if the media had not exaggerated his mannerisms, i think he would have a harder time. >> until this week was anyone making fun of his mannerisms? >> well, yeah. >> whatever. >> the bottom line -- >> you mean with the hands. >> jesse waters, i love the fact we have 24% decrease in illegals crossing the border. and 40% surge in deportation. this has a pivotal impact on crime across the country and in

areas that are challenged. developments when "the five" returns. stay with us. (♪)

>> it's been a rough week on capital one. 3 law enforcements stepping down over sexual harassment allegation. john conyers, al franken and the latest republican congressman trent frank of arizona. the house ethices committee is investigating frank's discussion with 2 female staffers. he asked them if they would serve as surrogate mothers for his child. he was supposed to step down at the end of january, but that exit moved to today. the storm over washington doesn't appear likely to clear soon. a former deputy bureau chief is hearing the total number of congressmen with sexual harassment skeletons in their closet is over 40. this story with trent frank

mason is interesting. -- franks is interesting. he was offering $5 million to women on his staff to have a child. politico said it wasn't just a matter of having the child, but possibly involving having sex so they would become pregnant. >> with all of the sexual harassment resignations, the swamp is draining itself. i admired franks. i met him as a young person. i looked up to him. i hear this and it's hard to say what happened. i am compassionate for someone who is struggling with infertility. i don't know if he was joking. if he was serious, that's crazy and creates a hostile work environment. i don't know what happened. no one knows except for him. $5 million seems like a lot of money. i don't know where he got the money. i don't think that's the price

of surrogates. >> i echo part of his comments about people struggling with infertility. you have to get into the context of what transpired. it's not proper for the workplace. i am not sure what transpired. it's a sad case. in terms of the overall numbers, just the volume is just quite shocking. these are people you want to look up. >> the volume of people leaving? >> yes. it's disheartening. these are people that take an oath to serve the country and do something for the common good. they make sacrifices in public service and take a far lower

salary than the private sector. then you find out these situations. it sheds light on it and encourages people to speak up, but discourages others before they engage in this conduct. i hope for something positive to come out of all of this. >> the wife has been in the hospital. >> let's shift to another story which is blake the congressman from texas. he paid $84,000 taxpayer money to settle a charge from his former communications director he was sexually harassing her. >> today on the daily briefing, cathy wants to see what the investigation shows, but they think he should resign and he should payback the money out of his own pocket.

taxpayer dollars is not the appropriate way to deal with that. paul ryan's office was contacted 2 weeks ago by franks. they called the woman -- maybe there was more than one. he told franks you need to resign. he brought it up. we won't wait weeks for this. get it done now. >> conyers left, the charge was he used taxpayer dollars to pay off and the same thing happens to this man and he is still there. >> right. that's where why the republican congressmen are saying this is not. >> gerald ford, a congressman himself and went to work for morgan stanley. he is out at msnbc. >> i am disappointed on "the

five" not using the phrase surgate. >> you talk about ford and this real looker, each case is like a dirty snow flake. it's unique and unsavory. every one of these things can't fit into a file. they are all different and weird. one involves saying weird, crass goofy stuff. other stuff is creepy. other stuff is touching. other stuff is assault. we are in danger of levelling all of these accusations as one thing. you will punish people that don't deserve to be punished. i feel sorry for some of these people. is that as bad as that? we can't forget where this started. >> you want separate the trash? >> exactly. >> [laughing]

>> good metaphor! >> we have to remind ourselves, this started in one place. we will talk about hollywood in the next block. it started in hollywood. it was prop icated and enabled by a group of people lecturing us for years about our behavior. i won't listen to any actors or producers that provided sanctuary for serial rapists. >> what about trump? >> the public decided on that. the court of public opinion on a lot of this stuff. >> minnesota voters didn't get a choice. neither did the michigan voters. >> i have to go . >> i am not ready yet. i wrote a poem. >> [laughing]. from liberal hollywood right here on the fox. you might take something for your heart...

losing their minds over the trump presidency. jennifer lawrence, oprah asked the actress if she would like to meet the president. her answer. i think so. i have a pretty good speech. it ends with a martini to the face. the president is now responsible for the natural disasters. chelsea is blaming him for the wildfires in california. she tweeted: weren't wildfires burning things

down during the trump administration? >> yes, but that was also trump's fault. the "apprentice" was on and that upset people. they are broken people. they were broken by the election. because they have not let their bubble, they have not left their sealed compartments. they are still suffering. they need to go out and talk to people. sarah silverman went out and talked to people. half of her mind is still lost. we don't have the luxury that they do. every day we are outside of a bubble. bickering and yelling at each other because we have different points of view. look at hollywood is a full lock step and going back to the earlier segment. they are in crisis over their own guilt. they are transferring their shame over weinstein on to trump. they are pointing at him with all of this because they knew what was going on for decades.

>> and did nothing. >> i don't like when jennifer lawrence wants to throw a drink in the president of the united states's face and everyone thinks it's funny and cute. if somebody said that about barack obama, they would have sent the secret service after the actress. >> a total double standard. i don't like the disrespect at all. it's conduct uncoming. it's not polite. i don't understand why. they have emotional issues. they are trying to put everything on the president. it doesn't matter what is happening in their life. they want to tie it in and flip the script and put it on the president. >> you saw this derangement s d syndrome in the buzzer. -- bush administration. do you think it's worse? >> i think it's worse.

we didn't have social media. it ruins so many people. a big controversy was taylor swift who doesn't want to talk about politics. everybody in hollywood are trying to push her into it. how could you not talk about politics. >> she is smart and dignified and classy. why against involved in politics? >> your side claims they have a monopoly on polite society. dig mid and classy. -- dignified and classy. they act so rude. >> i don't know that i am responsible for these actors and actresses. when i look at jennifer lawrence who is a terrific actress, you think she is just being rude. but who is the bullying rude person who talks about grabbing someone like an actress by the crotch. who said such a thing? >> if someone tries to grab someone by the crotch, they have all the right to throw a drink

in their face. i don't think he will do that with jennifer lawrence. >> no. you can imagine a woman who says i don't like that behavior. >> i agree with juan. we have changed. we lowered the bar on discourse. everything is game. she should be able to say whatever she wants. it doesn't bother me the least. >> and taylor swift should be allowed to say nothing. >> exactly. it's more about the trouble that is going on in their heads than what is coming out of their mouths. >> we can still judge them for it. >> yes, we can, because we are fox! >> [laughing] >> we'll be right back.
