♪ >> jesse: i am jesse watters along with kimberly guilfoyle, juan williams, dana perino and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." we have just heard from the white house after president trump sounded off again about the raids involving his personal attorney and the russia probe. >> the president has been clear that he has deep concern about the direction of the special counsel. this investigation started off as rorschach collusion of which there was none. it's been clear nothing has come up over the last year, and the president has spoken at length

on this topic. the media continues to focus on it despite the fact that there's been no evidence after a year, we are going to stay focused on the issues. >> jesse: the president fired off a serious tweet, calling the russia investigation fake and corrupt, headed up by all of the democrat loyalists. he said that mueller is most conflicted of all except rosenstein who signed the fisa and comey letter." sarah sanders said yesterday it is within mr. trump's jurisdiction to do so. >> i think the president has been clear that he thinks this has gone too far. >> do you believe he has the power to fire special counsel robert mueller? >> i certainly believe he has the power to do so. >> jesse: kimberly, let's start with the raid that we didn't get a chance to talk

about the other day. they haven't been investigating for almost two years. have not found evidence of a crime or russian occlusion evidence. now they are going into his personal attorney to i guess look for payments to stormy daniels. now it looks like it's an fec violation. where do you think that is headed? >> kimberly: can you imagine, the inspection where this investigation was supposed to go on where it's traveled. far beyond the original initial scope. you come across something while you're doing an investigation, that's one thing. nevertheless, there's been a wide swath and net cast, trying to get anything they can, it seems, in terms of trying to bring something against the president through michael cohen. obviously they're not going to overlook if there's any wrongdoing. but nevertheless, let me tell you something. i had a case where i prosecuted for homicide. complicated because all of the things in their house when we have the search warrant issued

had privileged, calm the digital information. you have to go through all the documents to make sure you are not taking anything improperly. >> jesse: the clean team. >> kimberly: that's how they refer to it here. they had to go through his hotel room, his apartment, and the office. they got a judge to sign off on it. they have to have and they better have some really compelling probable cause and evidence to be able to support it. every american, doesn't matter if you are a democrat, republican, libertarian, leaning green, whatever you want to do, this can happen to you as well. the safeguards of the log consist for a reason so they will not be abused to protect the rights of american citizens. guess what, including the president of the united states. and as personal legal counsel. let's see what they are able to come up with.

it's aggressive and heavy-handed. there isn't any legal scholar i listen to the doesn't agree this is an aggressive move. really unprecedented. >> jesse: alan dershowitz said the constitutional rights of michael cohen were violated. people are saying it's a little unfair when you look at how hillary clinton was treated. michael cohen has been cooperating with the special counsel. he's produced almost a million documents. then they raided his house. hillary clinton treaded a lot of documents and was exonerated. people think there's a little bit of an unfairness factor. >> dana: perhaps. doj inspector general michael horowitz is investigating that piece michael cohen himself said yesterday on television that the fbi was very courteous and respectful. he had no problem with it, he doesn't like it. he said it wasn't pleasant but there is that. then you find out about the process and the high bar you have to clear with a judge and others, including political appointees like rod rosenstein had to sign off on this type of

thing. i don't know if it really is all about stormy daniels. i have no idea. but the whole payment situation, whatever happened with "the wall street journal" finding out the information in january, issuing the story, then she comes forward. all of this stuff is coming together. all of that happened before the election. but if they brought it into the presidency, and i don't know what they're going to find, i think the country has a lot going on with many different things, like we're going to talk about in the next segment. possible military action against a really bad actor. it looks like the system is working it is, working the way it is supposed to. >> jesse: on a technicality, you are right, it is. if you make up payment to someone for $130,000 in the midst of a campaign and you don't reported to the fec, i guess it is some sort of campaign finance violation. you can serve up to five years

in prison and face up to $25,000 in fines. that could be how they are trying to squeeze cohen, movie to flip on donald trump. >> greg: didn't something happen similar with obama and a campaign violation. they had to pay fine. you can look it up. they brought up dershowitz. he is no fan of trump. i don't even think he thinks trump is a good president. but i haven't seen one person disagree with dershowitz without first impugning his motives. that's always a sign for me that they can't argue with dershowitz. if you have to go straight to insulting him, that's when you know you are winning. here is the narrative. you have the outsider elected to disrupt the system and boy, did he. it's a truly radical presidency and we are watching it all over the place, from north korea to what's happening with china. the system is disruptive.

the media is convulsing. the democratic party is wandering in a haze. the opposition is going through all their tools. they find a weapon they weren't originally looking for to remove him, and it is something that happened before the election. nothing i said here is false. that's exactly what's happening. we had a radical elected to the government who has disrupted the system and now there's an opposition trying to unseat him with something that happened before the election. >> kimberly: they tried to do it with the access hollywood tape. >> greg: the public is going to sense this. i have to wonder if the anti-trump-ers are thinking this all the way through. the public will sense that this is a political coup using past personal behavior. this is going to turn donald trump into a folk hero, a combination of johnny appleseed and paul bunyan because he's going to appear to be the victim because you are taking him out, not over policy. you are taking them out over personal behavior that occurred prior to the election. if you hate trump, get a load of

pence. he is going to make ronald reagan look like a b hoffman. -- abbie hoffman. >> jesse: any -- >> juan: it would be a tremendous act of indiscretion. i asked all of you can consider, the people who approved this are republican. they are talking about the fbi director christopher wray, rod rosenstein, a trump appointee as the deputy attorney general. talking about jeffrey berman, the u.s. attorney in new york, they had to approve of this step of the fbi going into cohen's hotel room. >> jesse: did berman recuse? >> juan: i don't know that. what i do know is that trump in essence brought this on himself. we can talk about people who

hate trump and all that but it was president trump who said last week that he knew nothing about the payment of money by michael: , technically his lawy. some people say he's his fixer, to this woman, stephanie clifford, stormy daniels. then it turns out that once he says that, there is no lawyer-client privilege because if that's the case, he is not representing the president of the united states and the president of the united states is now in a position where he is either lying about not knowing about this money or there is some secret that a factor who has given money for this and therefore has leverage to potentially blackmail the president of the united states, which is why i think it has set off alarms not only in law enforcement but nationwide. >> jesse: okay, let's talk about rosenstein. you said he's a republican, and a lot of republicans approve this. he does have some conflicts. we know the president mentioned those during his tweet storm, as they like to say. he is overseeing an investigation of obstruction of justice with firing of james

comey and he was one who authored the letter recommending the firing of james comey and he was the one who appointed mueller. he also signed off on the surveillance warrants. now his own department's stonewalling congress to find the documentation for the warrant. now he is overseeing this entire investigation. it just seems like when you look at the way hillary was treated and you look at the conflicts rosenstein has, the president feels like he's being unfairly treated here, kimberly. the rules apply to other people that don't apply to other him. >> kimberly: he has been vocal and transparent about his upset and the fact that he thinks this was unfair that this investigation was supposed to be about one thing but now it seems to be very personal to try to unseat the american president, duly elected. people are going to feel very strongly across the country. you have seen some reaction and greg has touched on it. now he is faced with another decision which is it's an

ongoing investigation. what does he do about it? what is he legally able to do, what's within his rights, and what's politically smart for him to do? there are some decisions here that would be a problem for him if he were to fire mueller. then there's the option which is widely discussed over the last 24 hours as to whether or not he should remove rosenstein due to some conflicts of interest that have presented across-the-board here in terms of some of the investigation. tie-ins to comey, mueller, what's going on, should there be another special counsel assigned to investigate that, whether there was any kind of underhanded things going on or some collusion there in terms of a concerted efforts. we don't know. that is something that a special counsel could also take a look at. you have seen some people talking in television and writing about it today. i think the president is going to sit back for a bit and see what happens and transpires because i think the problem would be, if he were to act

hastily, and sort of like right now, we are circling, seeing what we are going to do about syria. circling, seeing what he's going to do about the situation here. >> juan: if he fires mueller, you are republicans beginning with mitch mcconnell saying don't do that. >> jesse: i get the sense people in the senate want him to fire mueller. they've been goading the president to fire mueller. >> juan: not at all. >> dana: not mitch mcconnell. >> jesse: the rest of the senators have been daring the president to do that. >> juan: to reiterate what dana just set them i think you could make the case that there are some democrats who see him stepping in a bucket if he was to do that. you have republicans, jesse, lining up and saying don't do that. that would be the end of your presidency. we will not back you. a lot of democrats feel like people like paul ryan who made the big announcement today, totally spineless in the face of a guy who was anti-immigration,

has blown up the budget, doesn't believe in trade. but they have backed trump. on this one, they are say don't touch it. >> greg: i am trying to step back and look at the long-term here because all the people involved in this do not have a plan. they are barreling towards this impeachment nirvana and they have nothing after that. the point is, donald trump is not a normal politician you can nail on affairs or on sex. you are taking out a political outsider. if you take him out in a manner which feels cheap or seedy or unjust because it's about sex that happened before. saying you took the biggest threat we've ever seen out over a role in the hey. >> dana: i don't see how he's in trouble in any way about

stormy daniels. michael cohen could possibly be but i don't see it actually bearing problems for president trump except for maybe p.r. you can't impeach somebody about that. >> greg: i probably completed two things. they are hoping for a wave of democrats that they will do the impeachment. >> dana: it's not big going to be because of stormy daniels. >> kimberly: perhaps they were inconsistent statements if it had happened, they could impeach him with materials that were obtained, there will be legal battles over what that can be introduced. wasn't lawfully obtained? it's not going, sad to say it's not going to end quickly. >> jesse: safe to say the president will not be sitting down with the special counsel's

office. president trump delivers an ominous warning to syria and tells russia to get ready. thanks.

you shouldn't be partners with a gas killing animal who killed his people and enjoys it. images show russians preparing for possible strikes. 11 russian battle ships are presumed to be at sea. only a single submarine remains. get ready, russia. strong and clear. just like when he set it to north korea. >> greg: it was really great to see the media and the democrats applaud trunks incredibly strong words against russia. you didn't see that, actually. it's hilarious because that's what they have been asking for forever. they have always been accusing donald trump of being incredibly soft on russia and putin. they are getting tough words and what do they say? you hear people saying this is a distraction away from stormy or it's irrational and crazy. can't have it either way. >> kimberly: they can't ignore this happened. he gassed his own people. women and children. there has to be an appropriate

show of force against him. >> dana: it is super tense. you have the different entities there. israel sort of their saying what are we doing here? they are trying to talk to the russians. putin called netanyahu today. we have been on the phone with them as well. you have a situation where the russians say they will fight back. i imagine when general mattis is at the white house today, they are mapping all of this out. interesting about the tweet. he says that assad is an animal gassing his own people using nerve agents. so is putin. the young woman who was poisoned along with her father, she left the hospital yesterday. today apparently the russian consulate reached out her to ask her if she wanted any of their help. she turned them down. we are dealing with a lot of bad actors there. i am sure they are trying to plan because what happens if there's a missile strike, what happens after that? what do we do about assad,

et cetera. the u.n. is going to be of no help. nikki haley has been trying to get them on board. hasn't happened. >> kimberly: we have some movement from russia. eight russia enough warships departed. in terms of their military capability, their show of force and where they have the strongest positioning as it relates to nuclear. in terms of our capability militarily, our capability to strike and use missiles. i think we have a far greater advantage. what can they really do? i don't think president trump is in a bad position by being strong with russia because they have done some of the same things assad is accused of. >> jesse: we have the uss donald cook in the mediterranean, and aggressive posture. it has tomahawk missiles ready to go. the russians are kind of buzzing the destroyer. it's tense.

we have uss harry truman parted from norfolk to get to that mediterranean in less than a week. we have seen increasing military activity in our base in cyprus, the british base as well as our base in qatar. looks like it's ramping up pretty hard. the decision the president is going to have to make, is it going to be a punitive strike which it was last time. sending a message this is unacceptable. trying to maintain u.s. credibility. or is it going to be a strike degrading the syrian government's ability to deliver chemical weapons. command and control, airfield, ballistic missiles areas. artillery areas. it ramps set up to a whole new level because at that point you are attacking the syrian government and there's a risk of hitting russian forces, whether those are actual russian forces or mercenaries, that's going to decide the political fallout. i know the president canceled his trip to peru so i think he means business. >> kimberly: indeed he does.

that theater, there's a lot of activity, it's tense geopolitically. there's going to have to be rapid-fire decisions made. and added to the mix, iran, who's going to side with russia and with assad. >> juan: yes, i think they are. what concerns me is you have to think through, are we starting a world war and the middle east? what are we doing here? i think that's why you hear from people like senator mccain, watch out for -- and earlier in the discussion, people saying it is a "way a good mike pompeo and john bolton, the instinct to quy respond, strike back without thinking it through. i don't think there's any question bashar al-assad is a horrific character but that tweet, the reason it concerns democrats is because it seems like someone who was flailing or as opposed to someone who is

thinking through what he's going to do. this is why people get upset with him exchanging name-calling and bullying with kim jong un. not that kim jong un is a good guy. it's that our guy seems like he's not under control. >> greg: it is something we have been watching two years and we continue to be proven wrong. what he did with north korea. how did that work out? he talked about trade. this is part of the system that he himself understands and that we are just keeping up. >> kimberly: he's been advised to strike his delivery systems. seems to make sense to me. facebook founder back on the hill for day two of questioning. he revealed something you might be surprised to hear. that's next. use i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom?

>> juan: mark zuckerberg return to the hill today for second day of testimony in the privacy breach that effected up 7 million facebook users, and we learned earlier he was one of them. >> facebook has certainly grown. i worry it may not have matured. i think it's time to ask whether facebook may have moved too fast and broken too many things. >> was your data included in the data sold to the malicious third-party? your personal data? >> yes. >> are you willing to change your business model in the interests of protecting individual privacy? >> congresswoman, i'm not sure what that means. >> juan: oh, well. zuckerberg admitted his company's decision to reject content from some conservative pages is a mistake. >> why is facebook censoring conservative bloggers such as diamond and soak? >> in that specific case, our team made an error.

we have already gotten in touch with them to reverse it. >> juan: dana, how did zuckerberg do in two days of hearings? >> dana: if you are the facebook p.r. team, you feel like that was an absolute home run over two days. i think their approach of him being apologetic -- to me, i feel like it's a little too apologetic. also he is exceedingly polite and extremely patient with members of congress who only get 4 minutes to ask questions. they have to show boat a little bit. they really don't understand the model. it's the gulf between the millennial at the table answering questions and the members of congress who are basically trying to figure out with their staffs had written down for them was really quite stark. when he leaves washington today and heads back to silicon valley i think he can feel pretty good about himself. >> kimberly: i think he has performed very well, shows there's a serious level of preparation by his team which i

think was quite impressive. it can be intimidating, even if you are the founder of facebook, to be able to go in front of congress and answer these questions in front of a committee and be able to not expose your company to further liability. i think he has actually done a very, very good job of handling himself. i really paid close attention to his answers. including the call of the questions. i think facebook is in a very good position. i think you saw the market rally after he was performing very well. under intense pressure yesterday. stabilized things somewhat economically. >> juan: he was contrite, jesse, but at the same time if you ask a basic question like what happened with cambridge analytical, i don't sense that we got a clear answer. >> jesse: people say i will direct my team to look into it and i will get back to you. he was so smooth. >> kimberly: greg's noon. >> jesse: we were joking about it. he was obviously very well prepped. he acted and sounded human which was a very high bar for him.

what struck me was how dumb are represented as r. the senators and the congress people. such a embarrassing display of preening. not understanding the basics of the internet. what facebook actually is. it was one of those moments where you are like, i can't believe these are our elected officials. >> dana: not all of them. >> jesse: ted cruz did a nice job i thought. the issue is whether facebook is biased against conservatives. i have heard from a lot of people that run sites and regular conservatives that when they put in this new algorithm to flow traffic to these websites come after that they have seen their traffic drop. that's of big issue that needs to be explored. and what is hate speech. he couldn't define it but he says we are going to have a computer figure out what it is. he's going to use artificial intelligence to determine what hate speeches. we can even make that decision as humans.

how can computers? people are saying that facebook is racist because they are helping people target a certain demographic. that's what all companies do when they advertise on tv. that's what politicians do when they want to win elections. they get a certain demographic and try to appeal to them. >> juan: we can discuss about greg i want to come to you because i think you know a lot about the internet unlike the people that jesse skewered. there's news for the general audience, it would be that zuckerberg agrees that the u.s. government can regulate faceboo facebook. >> greg: i think that was lip service. i think the lesson zuckerberg got and most of america who watched, it's that we need term limits. we need term limits badly. 99% of those inquisitors didn't know squat about what they were talking about. it was the best argument for small government i have ever seen. i would have to say the only person there that impressed me was orrin hatch.

the bottom line, facebook is free to use because it's an advertising based product. we have people on our sales staff for tv shows and magazines, they have to go to media buyers and presented demographic. we understand that. "the five" has a great demographic. affluent people who like to travel and entertain, so maybe we can get advertisers for automobiles or cruise lines or beer because of what we are doing is we're using our audience to attract advertisers which pays for the shows so the viewers can use it. facebook is exactly that model. he had to explain that to these idiots. the only person who got it was orrin hatch when he facetiously said, so facebook is free, right? how do you pay for it? advertising. hatch smiles and looks around saying you guys are idiots. that's the funny part. the bigger problem that they completely missed except for one

person, the creation of fake videos they'd appear real in order to create fear and foment panic. there is new technology where they can take your head and put it on a body, so it makes it look like a world leader could have just killed a child. that's not how it's going to work. what they are going to do is they are going to be bad actors. the nigerian emails commits going to be like that times 1,000. they are going to be people sending out videos of their heads on bodies doing things to extort you. this will be a problem. it's a problem private and or -- private enterprises going to have to deal with. as technology improves to my videos will be almost imperceptible. you will not be able to tell what's real and what's fake. that is the scary part. they didn't talk about. >> kimberly: that was a segment within a segment. >> juan: think you read orrin hatch totally different. >> greg: read the whole context, juan. trust me.

read everything before it. he says exactly what he's about to say and it's brilliant. >> juan: i think you will run for senate in utah soon. a surprise announcement of a upsetting to some from house speaker pauline. why he is living congress and when he's leaving congress. that's next on "the five" ."

>> this is a job that does not last forever. it's fleeting at and it inspirs you to do great things. there are other things that are fleeting as well. your time as a husband and dad which of the other great honor of my life. that's why today i am announcing that this year will be my last one is a member of the house. >> dana: paul ryan announcing today has no regrets but the time is come to move on. he is not resigning. he will be retiring from congress when his term ends in january. i spoke with the speaker a short while ago on "the daily briefing," and asked whether he thinks his departure will affect republicans. >> i don't think anybody's

election is going to hinge on whether or not paul ryan is speaker of the house. we have a strong record to run on and the resources to communicate our stories. i feel good about things. the reason you see a lot of retirements among us in the house is because we have term limits. most of the chairmanships are ending, and so people naturally retire when there chairmanships end. i think that's why you have a lot of out. we have gotten a lot done. we really feel like we are leaving the majority in good hands to republicans because we have a really good record to run on. >> dana: kimberly, people were surprised because he met his fund-raising goal which was a record seven months before he needed to. he's been out there campaigning, looking like he was doing everything he could to be the speaker again but he decided to retire. >> kimberly: operating from a position of strength. he is leaving with a legacy of accomplishments. i know he chortled personally with the decision to accept the speakership. there was a lot of pressure on him to take it to begin with because he was putting his

family first and he has young children. he wanted to spend time with them which i think it's very admirable. he has worked hard. there was a lot of things he wanted to accomplish and it was nice that president trump also said that he would be leaving with a legacy of accomplishment. i am quite curious to see what he is going to do next. and who will in fact take his place. >> dana: one thing he said as he is not going to run for president. >> jesse: he's had a very interesting career. he came up as a young fiscal hawk conservative. entitlement reform guy. he people loved him because he was tough on that and he became, to some people, a squishy, never-trumper. both characterizations are unfair. if you look at the last year he's had, tax cuts, sanctuary city legislation, repeal and replace obamacare. dodd-frank. he was getting a lot of stuff

out of the house that mitch mcconnell was not able to do. he has a mixed bag legacy but i wish him well. >> dana: greg, your thoughts. >> greg: two things. for once, i am so tired of people saying i'm going to spend more time with my family. for once, i would love someone to say i'm going to continue avoiding my family completely by locking myself in my man cave drinking pabst blue ribbon and watching "die hard" equals. for his future, i see fox news contributor, sunday show cohosting with hillary. cross fire meets crossfit. he could work out while she complains. >> juan: boy, you got this way wrong. 25 republicans in the house leaving. three in the senate. they see a huge democratic wave coming. there is just no way they can survive. this has been rumored in washington for the last three

weeks intensely. everybody on the republican house side says if paul ryan doesn't think he can survive, why what i think i can? >> dana: he wasn't worried about his race. >> juan: i don't think he would have survived as speaker. nancy nancy pelosi would be the speaker. i don't think paul ryan wants it. that's what's going on. his record as speaker is negligible to zero. >> dana: i would argue with you if we had time. we have something special to celebrate up ahead. stick around. -oh! -very nice. now i'm turning into my dad. i text in full sentences. i refer to every child as chief. this hat was free. what am i supposed to do, not wear it? next thing you know, i'm telling strangers defense wins championships. -well, it does. -right? why is the door open? are we trying to air condition the whole neighborhood? at least i bundled home and auto on an internet website, progressive.com. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto.

it evaporated as bonuses flowed. people screamed about the apocalypse after we ditched the paris accord. where did that fear go? same with tpp. are you sensing a pattern? trump kicks up the conflict to set the table for negotiation and you end up with progress. it's old school. so all the reporters under 40 don't know what it is. where's the paralysis of analysis we are so used to? china reducing tariffs. north korea talking about denuclearization. isis gone. for now, i hope. forever. what does this tell us? after eight years of the floundering and aft news school, it's a old-school dude in his 70s getting things done. maybe you've never seen it in your adult lifetime. enjoy it while it lasts. let's go around the horn. we have 37 seconds. am i right or wrong, kimberly? >> kimberly: it pains me to say so. you are correct. i believe that is your head on your body.

>> greg: not doing anything illegal. >> kimberly: thank you. china needs to access u.s. technology. i believe china is making a concession towards the united states. they know that donald trump is a different kind of breed. a disrupter, someone willing to take risks, businessman in the oval office. he's going to say we need to even the playing field out and not make it so imbalanced and unjust in terms of the united states relationship with china. i think it's a step in the right direction that the united states is going, and china and hopefully it's going to smooth out a little bit more and be a little more even. >> greg: multiple choice, dana dana. c, bananas. >> dana: bananas. i agree with almost everything except for tariffs. these tariffs, they had already been part of the equation and xi has played it well. president trump was complaining about this.

meantime, what we are asking them for is to stop subsidizing their high-tech industry. china has not budge on that but has said we will do these vehicle things and then we say oh, that's amazing. okay, great. xi is like, i already announced it. he feels good about it. i think the terror of thing is probably going to work itself out fine in the long run but this one i don't think is the big win. >> greg: did dana completely agree with me, totally agree with me, or absolutely agree with me? >> jesse: what were the options? >> greg: all of the above. >> jesse: dana is right in the sense that they have made promises but we have to see what they are really going to do about it. that said, this is the second time this happened with with the tariffs. he promised to slap tariffs on south korea and all and all of a sudden they caved and opened up their car markets. increase their steel exports by 30%. he is monetizing our security relationships. doing this with the european union and nato.

doing it with south korea because of the north korean crisis. it's a whole new way of doing things. hopefully. >> kimberly: we have more leverage than we think. they should open their markets to u.s. companies and technology. >> greg: final question to juan. should you say that "one more thing" is up next? >> juan: i should. it's important to understand president xi said he was going to do the tariffs. >> greg: no one is ever happy. >> juan: the people most upset about this are people like farmers in iowa, nebraska who say oh, my god. all of a sudden, our value, our crops are less valuable under trump. a lot of people voted for trump. you got what you voted for. >> greg: all right, "one more thing" is up next. with new car replacement, if your brand new car gets totaled, liberty mutual will pay the entire value plus depreciation.

liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance.
