word this was happening. this appears to be a major concession on the part of the europeans, what some term blinking in the face of a trade war threat from the president of the united states. we are ceasing and assisting. take note, china. "the five" now. >> jason: i am jesse watters with jedediah, juan williams, dana perino, and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 and eric see, this is "the five" ." fox news alert. a major clash on capitol hill. secretary of state mike pompeo squaring off with senators about president trump's meeting with vladimir putin and much more. the latest on the heated hearing which is underway, but first to another major story we are following. who is lying and who is not and where is the rest of the tape? those questions are front and center in a new controversy

surrounding a leaked audio recording of president trump and his former lawyer, michael cohen. it happened in 2016, they were discussing discussing the payment to a former "playboy" model. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of all that info regarding our friend david. when it comes time for financing -- >> what financing? >> no, no, no. >> jesse: a payment was never made. the lawyers from both sides battling it out about what was actually said. the transcript states president trump says don't pay with cash. >> giuliani can't make up the words "don't pay." listen to the tape. the words "don't pay" are not heard of. >> there is no way the president is going to be talking about setting up a corporation using cash unless you are a complete

idiot, and the president is not an idiot. >> donald trump is going to be done in by the truth. >> there is no indication of any crime being committed on this tape. >> people who use cash, rudy giuliani knows, they are drug dealers or mobsters. >> there are no other tapes with the president. we have the tapes in our possession. >> there are certainly more tapes. >> jesse: the president blasting his former lawyer, tweeting it is sad that cohen recorded him, also asking why the recording abruptly cuts off. subsequent this was a huge stort night. tapes, trump, cohen all over twitter. when i listen to it, i was left with the feeling "is that it?" speak >> greg: every story like this, there's a huge explosion and then it's deflated. they say it is a smoking gun. it is like a soggy

cigarette butt. she took money for this. what right did she have to say where and if the story runs? you got paid. it doesn't matter. i have paid for stories and have killed stories. it's not against the law. that is baloney. also cohen's lawyer is lanny davis. he worked for hillary. he is a housecoat henchman. this is revenge. that in itself is collusion. also it's a sad day in america when you can no longer trust hush money. it's called hush money. you have a slimy lawyer. you had women who had sex and were paid for it, and consensually. i find it ridiculous people are screaming about the fact that a billionaire real estate developer in manhattan who has been thrice married, known as a womanizer, might have paid a woman to not talk about an

affair. you would find more meat at a vegan hot dog eating contest. [laughter] >> jesse: greg misses the good old days when hush money really counted. >> greg: back in the good old days of l.a. confidential. >> jesse: we were saying this is the '90s again. you have lanny davis, defending the clintons, now out there with rudy giuliani. these two legal titans that are playing this out, it's a big game of chicken on cable television. >> dana: i was curious why cohen went with lanny davis. it's more clear to me now why lanny davis decided to take the case. it's also something to be said that lanny davis is actually willing to go on tv and defend his client. rudy giuliani has been out there basically kind of by himself except for michael avenatti was out there, but on a different case. i am not sure about the strategy of releasing tapes. what is the long-term goal? what is the new cycle?

if the southern district of new york is looking into michael cohen's activities, this is not going to get the southern district of new york author back. what is the goal? is it tried to embarrass the president? to say there are other tapes means there better be better tapes than that one. if you put out another tape, it's worth in -- worse than soggy cigarette? it's a sparkler you can't use again. here's the other thing. this is the second time the administration is put out information that turns out to befall slater on. so reporters, for example, that went out and said in november of last year we hear there is a payment that was made to karen mcdougal. no, never heard of it. no, no, no. and then it turns out it's true. >> jesse: does that go back to the everybody lies about sex mantra in the '90s? >> dana: i don't know.

i don't know anything about any of this. >> greg: the golden rule is you deny, deny until it really happened. >> jesse: why the strategy? why leak the tape? to show you have independence, make the president nervous? >> juan: according to lanny davis, rudy giuliani was demeaning his client and badmouthing him. they wanted to push back. it was interesting to me that dana said michael cohen is no longer seeking any pardon. the question becomes maybe michael cohen is now cooperating with prosecutors looking into president trump. what strikes me about this is you guys are so dismissive, the wet cigarette butt. and so many levels. i guess it plays into what trump was saying yesterday about don't believe anything you here. don't believe anything you read. just listen to me. talk about an autocrat. yeah, yeah, yeah this is the way it is now.

the press come everybody else. let's throw the critics out. let's take away their clearance for no reason. okay. here we have a situation where, as dana said, there were denials. he said i don't know anything about it, just like in the stormy daniels case. jesse, you have to think, how long do trump supporters say i don't -- i am a trump supporter. >> greg: it didn't bother them before. it's not going to bother them now. >> juan: how many times do you have to be proven to be a liar? >> greg: it is the same live. >> juan: lied about stormy. >> greg: having sex, having sex. >> jedediah: the media has only cares about two things: infidelity and deceit. when it was bill clinton, you couldn't talk about the infidelity. it was unrelated and unimportant. now all of a sudden, you have

people -- people from the north national organization for women standing behind them. and you couldn't talk about it when hillary clinton was lying outright. she had signed documents saying she knew that the c stood for confidential. i think lanny davis was a good choice because he is very media savvy. i have done a lot of tv with him. i think it's an issue he knew there may not be something in the bowl going on. but we want to sway public opinion on donald trump. we want to try to get those people who care about honesty and integrity and who voted for him, yes. >> jesse: and humiliate him a little bit and make him nervous. >> jedediah: and someone who will get on television. he is going with that. >> dana: when was the last time you had to go dynamic lawyers battling it out in the press? it's been a really long time. mostly it's on dramas, on television. or in the movies.

this is actually playing itself out. >> jesse: michael avenatti is probably really jealous right now. over here come over here. >> juan: it is like trump's mentor. the key to me is you get judge napolitano, unlike my colleagues here, saying i think there is some fraud here. >> jesse: wears the fraud? >> juan: he is trying to set up come as "the wall street journal" reported this afternoon, a shell company to manage the payment because the payment was made from american media, "national enquirer." rouhani wanted a shell company to have full ownership of the secrets. in case anything happens to the "national enquirer" ." >> greg: they weren't selling shells at all. >> juan: thank you, gregory. i think the key point here is you have the "national enquirer" buying a story in the immediate run up to the election, so

clearly this is about avoiding this embarrassing story breaking. >> jesse: a campaign finance violation punished by $15,000 fine? >> greg: i love the fact that cohen, just months ago, and on trust she -- untrustworthy slimeball. now they are in bed with him. i think it's important. what is the end game? i think cnn, i don't blame them for doing this story. it's interesting. but where do you want this to go? impeachment? >> dana: i don't think the media has an agenda. i think they want to the story to keep going. i want to know, what is lanny davis' end game? what's that strategy? >> greg: i think there are people in the media want trump out. the problem is, they haven't thought about 66 million people

who think you just got rid of a popular president. >> dana: 65% of democrats do not want to push for impeachment. it's like they've gotten the memo. if it looks like you take away the presidency from somebody for a campaign finance violation, i'm not saying that's going to happen. but if that is the perception, you won't recover. >> jedediah: they are thinking about reelection, and they are saying if we don't have something substantive here to impeach him on, you have to think about his potential for reelection and the character issues come into play when it so ridiculous. no one voted for donald trump, saying this is a wholesome guy, a guy with outstanding character. no, they say good businessman. they wanted their taxes lower. he hated obamacare. they wanted more jobs. all those things that were important to them, he is delivering. >> dana: delivering on them means the economy is roaring. what happens in a midterm and the economy is roaring?

the election turns into a value selection. that's what the democrats are -- >> juan: i think the evangelicals, i wonder at what point to the evangelical saying this is total corruption in terms of our morals. >> dana: the evangelicals are not going to save you. >> juan: the funny thing about what giuliani said last night on laura ingraham, man, i've got lots of experience. i have listen to for the home hours of mob tapes. wait a second. i thought you are in trump's side. >> jesse: he was responding to what lanny said. he said only people like that who talk in cash or mobsters. >> juan: guess what. that's what it sounded like. >> jesse: no cash. >> greg: i don't mind if there is a little mob in trump. he just got the e.u. to agree to some major trade deals. >> juan: go back to '70s and nixon and e howard hunt. >> greg: i was a young kid. >> juan: you can go back.

♪ >> dana: you are looking live at capitol hill, secretary of state mike pompeo testifying before senators about what took place at the trump-putin summit and the president's plans for north korea and iran. here are some of the more contentious moments from this afternoon. >> has the president told you what he and president putin discussed in their to our closed-door meeting. >> the president has the prerogative to choose who is in the meeting. >> did he tell you whether or not what happened, those two hours question! it implies a notion there was something improper about having a one-on-one meeting. >> i heard you talk and brag about the number of sanctions. >> these were facts. >> the statute required sanctions to be imposed. >> my best recollection of the constitution is the president signed val off. i thank you for presenting that

law. b. one of the things our founders thought of, jedediah, and a system like ours, you should have the executive branch accountable to the legislative branch. i think he did quite well today. >> jedediah: i love the way he delivers things. he is so measured. his delivery alone inspires confidence i think he did what he needed to do. he talked about no easing of the sanctions with russia and gave a good defensive nato and talked about how we are not recognizing russia's annexation of crimea. i thought marco rubio did a great job when he listed out all the policy reasons the united states has been strong on russia, kind of reminding people that what you see in the media about, the media doesn't like the way trump responds to putin in a press conference. look beyond that and look at what the administration has actually done, and if you look at that, you see had they have been stronger than the prior administration. i felt it was an empowering moment for people to see and get their head on straight as to the fact that this administration has been quite strong. based on what pompeo said today,

they will be strong. it was confidence inspiring and i'm glad he's in there. >> dana: right before the hearing, ambassador john bolton. do we call him mr. secretary? no. he is the national security advisor. he came out with a statement saying the president has decided to lay the putin invitation until after the russian investigation is over, so probably won't take place until early 2019. >> jesse: republicans on public or are -- republicans on capitol hill are breathing a sigh of relief. i thought pompeo did a good job. probably the most effective person that cabinet for delivering president trump's message. he talked about how tough the administration is been on russia and how ready nato is to counteract any russian aggression. rand paul made a really good point. he said president reagan, when he met with his russian counterpart, he never went up there and shook his fist and

threatened the russian counterpart and never blasted him to his face. yes, he said tear down that wall. he was tough in other ways but he never pointed and split the weight democrats wanted president trump to do against putin. >> jesse: >> juan: jesse, do yow the russians interfered in the 2016 election? >> jesse: they did a lot worse in the cold war. >> dana: you covered reagan and those summits. what do you think? >> juan: jesse's rights. tear down the wall. build a peacekeeper missile. were going to go after you. we are not taking this and we don't believe in communism. harsh words from president reagan. >> greg: and your party was against the harsh words. >> juan: no, it was not. i don't know why you always -- >> greg: you were against the fbi. >> juan: let's be straight with each other. reagan was tough on the russians. not only that -- >> jesse: he was tough but he had nice diplomacy. >> greg: people on the right went after reagan for that too.

>> juan: mike pompeo and i are both fans of kansas basketball. i say nice guy but he looked like sergeant schultz. i see nothing. i see nothing. he is saying right there you know what, sanctions, look at the sanctions put in place. wait a minute. trump purposely slow walked the imposition of those sanctions put in place by congress to punish russia for interfering. a >> dana: they did get done. in the meantime, greg, one of the reasons the hearing was interrupted is because the president called the white house press pool back to the white house to the rose garden, and he was having the meeting with the man from the e.u. he said pretty much we have a deal. >> greg: two points. it's a huge win for trump, but it's boring. nobody cares about the trade wars because its numbers. it's a big win.

number two, how many hearings does this make? this is why i keep saying trump is the most educational presidency ever. when trump burps, they have a hearing on what he eight. did he have chipotle or wendy's chili? every time he does something, there's a hearing. because of that, we are forced to learn more about governing. it's the most transparent agency. i have a theory. i think there is shifting going on with russia and iran in terms of syria. i think russia is looking at iran as their high school girlfriend. or the high school boyfriend. america is the college quarterback. they just dumped iran for america. do you think that's a good theory? you're going to see iran on its own with syria and you're going to see they're going to be having to back away because russia is no longer going to support them. >> dana: part of it is because netanyahu has gone to russia

three or four times and talked to putin because iran has fighters on their border, and russia should do something about it. will he? i don't know. >> greg: i think we are going to end up seeing a positive result in syria pertaining to iran and also with north korea with russia's help. >> juan: most transparent? we still don't know what happened in the meeting with putin. >> jesse: he wants some flexibility. >> juan: because the russians are out there and they are saying in fact that president trump agreed to some kind of reconstruction with syria, some kind of deal question where we know. >> greg: we will find out. >> dana: pompeo said he feels like he's got all the information he needs. >> jedediah: during the obama years we were saying, what is going on behind the scenes? i remember folks on the left saying give him some space. >> greg: boasting about lying to america? >> juan: if you want to talk about sex scandals, imagine if obama had been involved --

but on foreign policy, nowhere near the obfuscation, the lies we see from this guy who is cozy with vladimir putin. >> jedediah: you have to admit he is getting stuff done. no evidence of collusion. >> juan: where is the deal? no need to shout but i am saying where's the deal in north korea? where's the deal with russia? >> jedediah: it's not going to happen overnight. >> dana: i know that every day feels like seven but it's really only 24 hours. a california city okays an outrageous punishment for violators of its plastic straw ban. greg will explain it next. and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on... is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. new boost® high protein nutritional drink now has 33% more

homelessness, drug use, human waste. here's what matters to their leaders? straws. plastic drinking straws. santa barbara passed a bill punishing restaurant owners with jail time and fines if they give out straws. each straw counts as a crime. meaning if you hand out straws at her children's birthday party which i often do, you can do more time than your average felon. i can understand this law if you didn't have any other stuff to worry about. if you didn't have a dramatic rise in disease, crime, homelessness. maybe go after their straws but your state is teetering on the edge of armageddon. it may be why politicians are focusing on evil straws. the concern is really a denial of farmers problems. straws makeup only 0.02% of the plastic that ends up in the ocean. you would find more plastic in the faces of certain coastal politicians who i won't mention. what also hurts this narrative,

america is responsible for less than 1% of the waste in the sea. most of the plastic trash comes from other countries, but if you can't blame america, then i guess it's no story. here's where you see the consequences. who needs straws most? the disabled who can't drink without them. good job, santa barbara. unlike the straws that you try to ban, you suck. jedediah, i always said if they lost straws, only outlaws will have straws. i've said that. >> jedediah: i have heard you say that. i am a defender of the straw. i have turned into a straw activist. i will he handing out straws after the show varying sizes. >> juan: can i give you a straw poll? >> jedediah: remember though straws you had as a kid. >> greg: a silly straw.

>> jedediah: i love stuff like this because folks on the left can't let private businesses decide. if a private business decides they don't like straws and it's on environmentally unsound, they can opt to not do it. why do you have to get the government involved? why do people on the left, juan, why do they feel they have demanded, tax, penalize in order to change behavior? why not put the information out there and let people in the free market hopefully read the information and make better decisions from their selves and families and have a domino effect. doesn't it rub you the wrong way that it is a top-down approach all the time? drives me crazy. >> juan: it's a lot like motorcycle helmets. people say they want to ride and they enjoy the wind in their hair or their face. but when they crash, oh, my gosh. then the taxpayer, uni, and up paying for their hospital bill.

it's not a good situation because it drives up the cost of health care. >> juan: it's a strawman argument, juan. [laughter] >> juan: that was excellent. i run into this. you go into the grocery store or drugstore and they want to charge you an extra nickel for a bag because they want to discourage the use of plastic bags. the same thing with straws. i think why? then i think the trash collects because this plastic collects. >> dana: we know how it works. >> juan: and not only does it hang in the trees, these plastic bags. >> greg: i find it beautiful. it is modern art in new york. >> juan: is that right? i didn't know. the few trees that exist in manhattan. i think then government has responsibly to clean it up, pay for it. or is dana points out, and she wishes president trump would go get the trash out of the ocean. >> dana: it is more of a second term issue really. >> greg: if you look at the statistics, it's a problem of other countries.

we could do something about it. what bothers me is we hear about prison reform, like we need to release drug dealers but we are going to put people who use straws in jail? >> dana: of course. california is curious. i would love to go would be a moderator of a debate between the governor, gubernatorial candidate there. i don't know if they would go for that but i think it would be fun. i was going to mention innovation. we are creating the most amazing things. i want a new straw. i usually don't use my phone on the show but i looked it up. have you heard of beyond meat? >> greg: it's gross. >> dana: no, it's not. actually leads. they have made it look like meat. it's a nice alternative. why can't we come up with an alternative? >> greg: a straw that bleeds? what are you, a monster? >> dana: they have metal once or how about ones that disintegrate after a while but

not while you are drinking it. >> greg: disintegrating straw. >> jesse: that's why dana is on tv and she's not in the inventor. >> dana: you have to have great ideas to get there. >> jesse: i think santa barbara's paradise and don't mess with paradise. it's perfect. politicians need to feel useful. we had about 250 years in the country and politicians that are running out of laws to pass. they are trying to become your parents. i'm going to regulate your bedroom, what you say, what you drink, how you behave. they don't need to do it. it's over. >> greg: don't you think these are the people who order a tiled stuff from amazon and there's a ton of packing plastic. >> dana: i am waiting for that backlash. we order one thing and it comes in the huge box with all the stuffing and you have to get rid of it. >> greg: that is immoral. if you support brett kavanaugh, you are evil. that is the last, latest attack

♪ >> juan: some democrats coming under fire for using extreme rhetoric when attacking president trump. cory booker raising eyebrows with this message to his fellow senators who do not oppose supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> i am here to call on folk to understand that in the moral moment, there is no neutral. in a moral moment, there is no bystanders. you are either complicit in the evil. you are either contributing to the wrong or you are fighting against it. >> juan: governor andrew cuomo of new york being criticized for his choice of words when he went after the president's illegal

immigration policy. >> they are on a jihad to deport as many people as they can who they believe are not in the united states illegally. >> juan: we have a situation where right now i think it's two democrats in the senate have agreed to even meet with kavanaugh to have discussions. no republicans ever met with merrick garland. how do you put that together, jesse? >> jesse: this is how i do it. when bush said iraq, iran, north korea were the axis of evil, democrats got really upset. booker has no problem labeling republicans evil? i think president trump doesn't even call democrats evil. >> juan: he didn't call republicans evil. >> jesse: complicit in evil? he's talking about republicans voting for a strict constructionist. >> juan: he is saying he doesn't want any democrats to vote --

>> jesse: because they are evil. he is still calling the republican judicial philosophy evil. and i think that goes way beyond. he is only doing this because he is running for president. he is trying to raise his profile make a splashy sound bite. but i don't think -- obama and bill clinton didn't get elected to the white house by calling people evil. they got there a lot of other corrupt ways. >> juan: i respect your view but i don't think that's what he's saying. i think he is saying that the republicans blocked a legit event twice elected president from nominating someone to the spring court for a year. now not only do you get neil gorsuch, but you get a situation where they are going to get a second appointment. so dana. >> dana: you've got to hate the game. i think hyperbole is what you use when you don't have a good argument. in order to make headlines, you have to have -- the hyperbole has to increase with everybody out there.

cory booker is not helping the democrats keep the seats they have in the senate right now. he is certainly not trying to increase their majority. the ten senate democrats running, many of them in states where trump won by double digits, 65% of the people say we want kavanaugh confirmed by the midterms. it makes it so much harder on them. thinking through the game and this strategy is difficult. if his goal is to get some headlines out there so he can be a front runner in 2020, that's one thing. but there are consequences and fallout. >> juan: jedediah, quinnipiac has a pullout since 41% of americans say no to kavanaugh. 40% say yes to kavanaugh. this is a big split in the american mind. 50% were okay with neil gorsuch. just a year ago. it seems to me there is something different about the kavanaugh nomination, even among republicans. the level of support is not what i thought it would be. >> jedediah: kavanaugh is not radical to me at all. i think some conservatives on

the right to have taken issue from kavanaugh from the other side, saying that his obamacare rulings in his comments about obamacare, they don't feel safe about it. but when it comes -- if you don't want to meet with someone of the opposition party, that's up to you. people do it on both sides. i think it's a bad idea, but it happens. this language, i am inclined to take the high road and say why are we doing this? we sound like mean girls and boys on the middle school playground. whenever you take the high road, the person on the other side doesn't. it has to happen on both sides or doesn't make any sense. >> jesse: susan collins did meet with merrick garland, for the record. >> jedediah: i think cuomo has gotten -- >> juan: republicans. >> jesse: susan collins. that was your point. >> juan: no democrats. >> greg: merrick garland? >> juan: oh, garland. >> greg: the initial comments,

the initial question was do these comments help or hurt. they have moved from calling people to not cease jihadists. these were the dopes who were offended when you called ms-13 gang members animals. oh, my god. how dare you. and yet this is what they do. cory booker and andrew cuomo, charles krauthammer's observation. the right things they are wrong or dumb but the left thinks you're evil. corey immediately deemed the avocet evil which makes me think he is dumb. >> jedediah: elizabeth warren does this all the time. this is all she knows how to do. i am always saying run her because this -- she has nothing to do but insulting throne names. there is no substance there ever. she was saying kavanaugh was hostile to health care for millions. based on what? what is that kind of language? i am telling democrats, throw her front and center. >> juan: it is a good thing

the president is a role model on not bullying and using aggressive linkage. airline ceos feeling the squeeze after shrinking the seats on your next flight. find out what we mean about this. you're going to get nervous. do you know what i mean? next.

♪ >> jedediah: if you are sick and tired of squeezing into airplane seats they keep getting smaller and smaller, too bad. "the wall street journal" had the ceos of delta and american cram into coach seats aboard their planes to see how it feels. their conclusion: you won't be getting extra legroom anytime soon in economy class. in fact, their solution is to pay up. can you imagine saying that? it's crazy. >> dana: it's true you can pay for more legroom or whatever. but then also every flight is full. there is no incentive for airlines to change their planes. people have to get somewhere, they are going to buy a seat. >> jedediah: the two ceos,

delta ceo is 6'3". the american ceo is 6'3". the united ceo refused to do this, refused to do the interview. they say the people were able to fit back there. no one in front of them was reclining. i think the recliner is the problem. somebody in front of you reclines, and then if you are 6 feet tall, maybe for you and i, greg, it will be okay. if you are 6 feet tall, your knees. >> greg: the big problem is not about the seating. a lot of people don't mind flying like that because i don't fly that often. "wall street journal" readers fly a lot, so they get this. i think the bigger problem is they've got to figure out as soon as possible, they've got to change the seating and unloading of passengers. we have a big problem right now with status inequality. you go on instagram. you see how much better people's lives are. the idea of having people in coach walk-through first class i think is such a disillusion

practice. they have to fix that. load coach first and then load first last. how simple is that? >> jesse: i don't like that. if you fly first class, you have to wait. it's better to get on and relax. [laughter] i dislike sometimes being in coach. it hurts my ego. he walked past his people and first class and everyone is like hey, watters. by the time you get to the way back by the bathroom, they are like what are you doing back here? is fox paying you anything? it's a humiliating experience. but since i am so humbled, i can handle it.

>> juan: i don't like it, especially towards the back of the plane. i don't often get in the back anymore but i used to travel the country as a journalist, campaigns and covering the white house. sometimes in the back of the plane, if you -- it's terrible and hot and you can't breathe. i will say the worst part now is they are actually shrinking the bathroom. the bathrooms now will make you crazy. you think, how can you move to wash your hands? and then the reclining seats. >> greg: it is not the hand washing that's hard. >> juan: i am reading that "wall street journal" article and this has for every additional seat that an airline can fit in, 400,000 more dollars per year. they have an incentive. >> greg: we have to talk about this, because this is the biggest problem. when you have to pee and you are on the tarmac, it's outrageous they can tell you can't go to the bathroom which is harmful to

your body. >> jesse: you listen to them? >> greg: the rule is just get up. >> dana: can we show my picture of me on the plane. do we have it? >> oh! >> greg: everyone has a pee story. >> dana: i do. i have one on the tarmac. i held it. >> juan: you have stories about amtrak. >> greg: the door doesn't lock so the door will slide open when you are doing your business. being a famous person, i don't need pictures of me doing my business. >> juan: disturbing. >> jedediah: "one more thing" is coming up next.
