saying so. it's good news. we'll talk more about it tomorrow on "the intelligence report." 2:00 p.m. eastern on the fox business network. "the five" starts now. >> jesse: i'm jesse watters with katie pavlich, juan williams, dana perino and charlie hurt. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five" ." president trump is taking his america first message on the road. less than two hours from now, he's going to be firing up the crowd in tampa, florida, to drum up support for gubernatorial candidate congressman ron desantis. we've seen a dramatic turn around in the polls after trump endorsed him. desantis is getting attention for this funny ad. >> everyone knows my husband ron desantis is endorsed by president trump but is also an

amazing dad. ron loves playing with the kids. he reads stories. >> then mr. trump said "you're fired." i love that part. >> he is teaching madison to talk. >> make america great again. >> people say ron is all trump, but he is so much more. >> big league so good. >> jesse: gosh. congressman desantis isn't the only candidate benefiting from trump's backing. the president is on an endorsement hot streak. candidates he supported have won nine of the last ten contested races, including all the primaries. will democrats be able to stop this momentum of the midterms? juan williams. when donald trump goes out on the stump and holds these big rallies. he's very entertaining any socks up a lot of the oxygen. he dominates the local media markets and raises a lot of money. he has funny out there. is that something the democrats will get in fear, or do they

want trump in the spotlight? >> juan: i think they welcome him. you talk about the streak trump has. i want to go back to abe lincoln. trump says he's more popular among republicans than abe lincoln. jesse, even for you, i think that's a bit much. >> jesse: honest abe. i don't know. >> juan: we have to see if we can find a pool for abe lincoln. >> jesse: it was probably a rasmussen poll. >> juan: i'm sure you would cite it. i think what goes on here is we come into the ear of the trump republican cold. everything trump. trump backs a candidate. even in this case, there is a popular republican running, a guy who'd been elected for 21 years in the state of florida, a veteran. all of a sudden, desantis shows up on fox a lot and gets endorsed by a trump tweet and

he's a candidate. his numbers jump. i think it's telling. these guys aren't running on the economy. they're not running on tax cuts. they are running on anti-immigrant fervor. they are running on things like putting down nfl players. this is what we've got. i think fine. i think democrats know if you look at virginia in that gubernatorial race, a look of the alabama senate race, pennsylvania 18. this is not trump's time, not one he gets to the general. he might dominate in the primary but not in the general. >> dana: the 2018 midterms are being fought in totally different battlegrounds. both can be seen in florida where the president will be tonight. one of them is congressman carlos curbelo, a respected member of congress but probably the most endangered republican. when he's had to do in his district, in miami, to try to distance himself from president trump. and so there's that. president trump is going to be

in town. that's not necessarily the miami media market. contrast that with rick scott running for the senate. he is currently the governor. he wants to beat phil nelson for that senate seat and he's unabashedly pro-"make america great again." he is up in the polls. you have these two things. scott needs him. and curbelo needs to distance himself from him. both could theoretically work. both people could end up winning that. they are diametrically opposed strategies but shows the power and the threat of president trump. >> jesse: do you see it that way? >> dana: of course he does. >> charlie: the argument, obviously there are some areas of virginia where donald trump is unpopular. the fact that he got elected despite that unpopularity, it underscores, it's an important thing the joke of the gets lost

a lot. the 2016 election was all about issues. people voted for trump. they didn't like him and they didn't like some of the stuff he did. it's not anti-immigrant fervor. they cared about illegal immigration in trade and the economy. they said on these issues, i think this guy, he may not be somebody i want to invite to my tea party or have a beer with or whatever. i can't imagine any true american not wanting to have a beer with donald trump. >> katie: if you drink beer. >> charlie: beer or anything. they trusted him on the issues. he was talking about issues that republicans and democrats. a guy like adam putnam in florida, very popular politician from there. it hurts him, the fact that he was in washington so long. he hadn't been bringing up these issues. trump slashes in the brains of these issues that we are not supposed to be talking about. >> juan: thinking about what you're saying.

just give me a second. >> katie: go ahead, juan. >> juan: we can't wait to hear your point but i wanted to reflected charlie while i have the moment. when you think about republican party stance, i think about free trade. i think about being open to immigration. that's why i think we've remade the republican party into the image of donald trump. >> jesse: the only thing i would say command that i will let katie take the floor. i believe the only thing they can really hurt the president and the midterms are two things. the enthusiasm gap. that the democrats are rabid and they come out so strong and overlong republicans. or the trade issue. if he doesn't score tradewinds between now and november, a lot of the white working-class voters are affected by the free-trade situation right now. they may stay home. >> katie: trade is a local issue. midterm elections are all about turnout. we talk about president trump going to florida and having this rally, phil keating was reporting people camped out overnight. they are excited to be there.

there's going to be thousands of people there to support him. desantis has been accused of being in washington for far too long but he can make the argument that he's going to be a candidate. he's going to keep his promises if he wins the governorship. and he can govern like an executive, as the president has come on the number of issues. you can take the trump platform, illegal immigration, law and order, tax cuts, deregulation. apply them in a local sense. in that perspective, he may have something -- "the five" can i add one other thing to your two things that could hurt the president. i'm a little bit of a broken record on it because i don't think i've gotten the message through. that is the registering of new voters. the democrats are really good at it. they are super organized about it, and republicans need to do the same. >> jesse: go they do that at a rally like this? >> dana: these people are probably already voters. you need to find new voters. where can you find them? new voters are usually enthusiastic voters.

in virginia, ed gillespie has more republican turnout than ever in the history of the state and he loses by nine points. look at the total electorate, 12% of those voters in virginia had never voted in a gubernatorial election before. you need to try to find new voters because the democrats are doing it. >> katie: gubernatorial race is very different from the congressional race. congressional races are more specific on issues on the governorship. >> jesse: we are looking at the crowd started to gather in tampa for the big trump rally. what do you think he's going to stay tonight? he has given one of these every two to three weeks. is it going to renew material? the same old razzle-dazzle? >> charlie: i think there will be some new material. one of the appealing things about donald trump all along is that he's brought in new voters. people that haven't voted before ruth have been -- or who have been apathetic. you walk into a truck stop in the middle of the 2016 election

and we walked by a couple guys. they would be talking about what donald trump had said the night before. i think -- it was like with president obama in 2008. he was running a very different campaign. a very hopeful campaign unlike the 2012 campaign. it was hopeful he was bringing in new people cynical about politics. in both cases come i think it's very good for the republicans to get new people in. >> juan: the man who usually sits in your seat, mr. gutfeld, he says america is watching two movies and they are not the same movie. i see something different than you do. in this case, the flip side of what you're talking about is that trump activates the democratic base and a big way. that's why there is the enthusiasm gap. if you look at the poll numbers. for a while, people were saying he is at 45. that's the highest he's ever

been. he starting to go back down, and his disapproval rating is still 50-something percent. we talk about the different races, you have to understand maybe the trump movie for a lot of people commits playing out. he's very entertaining. you said he's very funny. >> jesse: i would say for the trump voters, the movie is an action thriller and for the democrats it's a horror flick. >> juan: jesse said that, mr. president. not me. >> jesse: he wrote up some approval numbers and we ran some numbers to the waters matrix. historically. >> juan: is able and getting there? >> jesse: wouldn't go that far back. 2006 and 2008, democrats picked up 20 or 30 seats or something. that generic congressional ballot had democrats up 13 to 15 points going in. now they are up seven points.

historically that's not going to be enough for them to pick up enough seats in the house to retake it. >> katie: the president is going to be extremely involved flying all over the country. he said he will be on the road six or seven days a week campaigning. we will see if we can keep up. they see it as an investment in his agenda long term. yes, he will be on the road for two or three months but they are saying it that we have to make sure we keep the house so that the agenda moves forward and democrats don't move forward with some kind of impeachment process. >> charlie: donald trump's numbers may be upside down but you know whose numbers are more upside down? nancy pelosi. i think we will start seeing maxine waters getting poultry people up have been running campaigns against them for a long time and they are still doing it. >> juan: you asked, we will see new stuff of the campaign rally tonight. i suspect it will be the same old stuff about immigrants. it'll be about nancy pelosi.

>> charlie: not immigrants. illegal immigration. >> juan: he wants to cut legal immigration in this country. >> jesse: another topic for another day, juan. far left medi-cal for all -- medicare for all plan comes with an insane price tag. it's the ford summer sales event and now is the best time to buy. preparing classic campfire trout. say what? trout. trout. all right. you don't think i need both? why does he have that axe? make summer go right with ford america's best selling brand. now get 0% financing for 72 months plus $1,000 ford credit bonus cash on a great selection of suv's. during the ford summer sales event, get our best offer of the season 0% financing for 72 months plus

socialist platform comes with an eye-popping price tag. a new study finds the medicare for all plan would cost over $32 trillion. that's trillion. over the next ten years. doubling all federal tax revenues to wouldn't be enough to pay for that. this study over at george mason university. sanders office has not done a cost analysis of his bill. when he announced it, 16 other senators, democrats, cosponsored it without a cost analysis. i think we have a list of those senators. charlie, have the democrats decided this is where they are going? they are all in for medicare for all. >> charlie: i'm sure there are some smart democrats in washington. certainly out in the country, who are not on board with this. but the fact that so many of their leaders are talking about this, it's absolutely staggering. you look at the numbers and of

course it's expensive. we also know it doesn't work. >> dana: that is the real key. >> charlie: you can point to all these reasons for rejecting it, but it's the moral issue. the idea that these people are perfectly okay with just taking things from people who work and giving them to people who do not work. the whole notion of, from each according to his ability and to each according to his needs, the question is who determines what people's ability is? if i was in charge, i would say i have no ability, so i'm not going to do anything. so i have a lot of need to, and so everyone's going to work for me. i sound like an old man. i was kind of born an old man. kids today, they are not even learning these things. they are not studying these questions in school. of course they come out and think yeah, socialism is great. >> dana: you talk about the

moral issue. i think the democrats, this is a moral issue. that health care is a right and we spent all this time giving rich people tax cuts. why aren't we paying for this? it's her message resonating. the price tag, they set it aside. they don't even do a cost analysis. this is gaining some traction. >> katie: i understand the old man thing. i consider myself the grumpy millennial. kids these days annoying me too. let's take it as a moral issue. we believe health care should be provided. it's not the way to do it. the way to do it is a free market system. this has been done before. if you look at cuba, venezuela, or great britain, it's a matter of cost benefit analysis. see you spend the $32 trillion. what's the result? as we have seen in these other places, we see lack of care. we have seen quality of care go down. lack of doctors.

rationing of care. fatal delays. this idea that bernie sanders says he wants medicare for all to work, the key word there is to work. rationing of care and not allowing people to engage in the system to get the care they been promised by all these democrats is not only disingenuous but they are lying about the fact that everybody can be taken care of at the quality level that they may beginning now or that they could get through a free market system. >> dana: peter mcmahon, you know, my husband who loves to weigh in on "the five." he is british. he knows the national health service well. he works in that field. he sent me this number. here's an article, italian doctors are using cardboard as splints in the third world clinics of southern italy. if you break a limb while you are visiting italy, don't do it there. they don't have enough material and supplies in order to make a splint for shattered arms and legs. >> juan: that's pretty bad. i don't want to go visit, especially with a kid who is

skiing. >> katie: bring your own bandages if you're going to italy for vacation. >> juan: bernie sanders went after the koch brothers who paid for the study. saying that they are opposed to health care and they just want to maintain the status quo. he said that about the democratic establishment. but the fact is most of the western world has medicare for all. not only that, they provide health care at a lower cost with better outcomes than we have in the united states. when people say leave it to the free market. according to every study. >> dana: no, juan. i will challenge that. >> jesse: name one. >> dana: it is the juan institute. >> juan: these studies have indicated we spend the most on health care. >> katie: for quality health care. >> juan: that's not what i was going to say. the reality is in our emergency rooms, they are jam-packed with people who should be getting

primary care. they shouldn't be in the emergency room. they are driving up my costs, your costs for health care. >> dana: our system isn't perfect. let me get jesse in there. tell us what we need to know. >> jesse: i have an anecdote like the italian one. in venezuela, sick people are taking dog medicine. that's how bad it is in venezuela. this is how they pay for it. they are going to have, in order to get the 32 trillion in america, they will have to raise the top rate from 37% to 74%. they will raise middle-class tax brackets from 20% to 30%. they are going to take the corporate tax rate from 20% to 40% and then they are going to impose a carbon tax. then they are going to impose a 20% national sales tax. then they are going to take the payroll tax and jacked that up to 10%. and then they're gonna say we want to bring u.s. military spending to the level of france. even that, after all that, that still doesn't pay for it.

i would never sit across from him. >> you would never. you wouldn't want to talk to him. >> no, i would sit across from barack. >> juan: kim kardashian refused to trash trump. >> i have nothing bad to say about the president. i am very focused. i don't agree with everything either. >> juan: my sports fan friend charlie is here. you follow sports like i do. you hear lebron james come out in this way and say in fact trump is often covered to encourage people to say racist things, behave badly. what do you think? >> charlie: first of all, i love lebron james. i admire him. he's an amazing athlete. he's worked very hard to accomplish all of it. but i think his read here is

disastrously wrong. first of all, i think a lot of this stuff started with the nfl kneeling. the problem with that is that the national anthem, we can all have our disagreements, and we do have our disagreements and that's fine. the one moment where we are all supposed to stop and remember that we are all on the same team and we all are aiming to make this country a better country is when we say the national anthem. so when you have these guys coming out trying to make a political statement, at that moment, it doesn't work and it really does fracture the fabric of society i think. the second thing of course it's, this after eight years of president obama who managed to i think politicized absolutely everything, including the cia and irs. but also to a large degree, president obama had an opportunity i think to heal a lot of racial disagreements in

this country. i think you would agree. i don't think we are better off after eight years of that. i was somebody who actually really did believe in 2008 that the good that would come out of -- i didn't support him and wouldn't have voted for him but the good that could have come out of it would've been some amelioration of that. >> juan: day now, kim kardashian has worked with the president and gotten a woman, alice johnson, released from prison. she was there on a low-level drug crime. >> dana: as jesse pointed out, it wasn't that low level. did she deserve this clemency? i think so. jimmy kimmel said there's other people on the list, like matthew charles, who was wrongly imprisoned. that case is before the justice department. hopefully we'll get some attention. i think she has the right idea witches if you've been an issue and you want somebody powerful to help you solve it, you can

figure out a way to work with them. i think that lebron james, i respect him. his decision to not want to sit down across from him, that's fine. but he is a leader in the country, lebron james, and in sports. he has the power to meet and he has the power to convene. if he changes his mind, i think you might find a willing partner in the president to have a conversation. >> katie: i think he should give the president more credit. if they had a meeting, i think donald trump would listen to his concerns and see what he could do within his administration to kind of help them further his goals. he seems like he's doing a lot of really great things. he just opened a school yesterday in ohio to help the ohio public schools to system. this is a president who believes in school choice to give students in poor neighborhoods a better future. i can understand why he wouldn't want to sit down. that's his right and choice not to but i think he could have an impact on the president and use

the power of the federal government to help some of his programs. >> juan: jesse, seems like everybody here doesn't want to talk about trump igniting racial division in the country. i don't understand it. in fact, lebron said after some of the things trump has done, he worries about his kids. >> jesse: well, he has a right to worry about that. that's fine. lebron has put his money where his mouth is. he's done a lot for the education in the state of ohio. i disagree with his strategy. i would sit down with him. the president will sit down with kim, the mullahs, the kardashians. kim kardashian, i don't believe trump divided at all on the anthem. i believe trump lead on the anthem. it was kaepernick and the other people who knelt and started the division during a time where there should be unity and it's not a divided issue on that point. it's not a 50/50. it's like 70-35 kneeling during

the anthem. among nfl fans, it's about 90-10. i would expect that president to come out and stand with the flag on that. >> juan: i don't think most americans thought there was a big controversy when this first started. i think donald trump used it in a way to stir his base. >> jesse: i think we covered it in 2015. >> juan: from all of you suffering from gutfeld monologue withdrawal, never fear, greg is here. he's giving us a sneak peek in his exciting new book. that's next. l more strength & energy in just 2 weeks. i'll take that. ensure high protein, with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure® we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you with 16 grams of protein >> tech: at safelite autoglass, to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa!

favorite part of the show. >> greg: going back to when this started, the whole point of me being on the show was basically at the end of the show, some comic relief, not really participate in anything else. but right this one little thing and provide some levity in otherwise serious news. it kind of evolved i guess into, i don't know what it is. i like to think of it as the monologues army trying to avoid something that everybody is thinking but they haven't articulated it yet. they might say if they haven't set it yet. i always figure each monologue has to be an unspoken truth when i'm helping to express. i think maybe that's why you laugh. people laugh when they hear something that in their head. >> dana: yes, and you would think i would never have thought to say it that way. we are onto something there. >> greg: i am preoccupied with certain kinds of, you know,

clipboard. so i'm on the stair climber for an hour working on questions for the show but also kind of reworking it, and then i edited the monologue all day. i basically rearrange the monologue constantly, it seems like a big waste of time because it always ends up being back the way it was. but that's kind of -- i'm a neurotic person. >> katie: good to know. >> greg: as if you did not know that. >> juan: i love conservative humor. the fear i have, someone coming from the left, hey, i a lot of conservative humor these days is all about mocking. like skinning the libs. >> dana: it is owning, not skinning. owning. >> jesse: you should know that. >> juan: jesse watters. >> greg: where do you think the right learned it? they learned it from the left. >> juan: i don't think so.
