tv   The Five  FOX News  September 5, 2018 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT

2:00 pm
the constitutional convention, even with having a single president, they were concerned, well, that may seem like a monarchy and that's why hamilton felt the need to convince the people. >> jesse: marathon hearing is still underway. we will bring you the major developments as they come. hello, everybody. i am jesse watters with katie pavlich, juan williams, dana perino, and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." more democratic obstruction and outbursts from left-wing protesters on kavanaugh's first full day of questioning by the senate judiciary committee. senate minority leader chuck schumer tried unsuccessfully to shut down hearing earlier. >> the republican majority on the judiciary committee is pressing forward with the
2:01 pm
confirmation hearing on a supreme court nominee who is record has largely been shielded from the senate and the american public. the republican majority is deliberately obstructing the senate's constitutional duty. to fairly and thoroughly conduct our advice and consent powers. >> jesse: president trump weighing in on how a supreme court nominee is handling the grilling from lawmakers. >> i'm having with the -- i'm happy with the kavanaugh hearings. i saw some incredible answers to very complex questions. he is an outstanding intellect. he's an outstanding judge. he was born for the position. i think that the other side is grasping at straws and really the other side should embrace it because you're never going to find better, in terms of talent or intellect, then what you have in brett kavanaugh. >> jesse: judge kavanaugh easily fending off democratic attacks. he also laid out his judicial philosophy and of course
2:02 pm
answered questions about roe vs. wade. >> i am an independent judge. for 12 years i have been deciding cases based on the law and the president. >> what sort of loyalty will you owe to the president? >> if confirmed to the supreme court and is a sitting judge, while my loyalty to the constitution. >> what would you say your position today is on a woman's right to choose? >> as a judge, it's an important precedent of the supreme court, i mean roe v. wade and planned parenthood versus casey, it's been reaffirmed many times. kacey's precedent on precedent and i understand the significant of the issue. i always try, the real-world effects of that decision. >> jesse: dana, do you think that answer about roe vs. wade will satisfy democrats that are upset about his nomination? >> dana: it is the same answer
2:03 pm
elena kagan and sonia sotomayor gave them their hearings and that was satisfactory to them. it really isn't about that answer. it's what they believed to be the underlying political belief so that person. has not answered it fine because he answered it as the other nominees had done. i really think he was untouchable on substance today. at the beginning when he started quoting federalist 69, hamilton, going through all the cases. it separates the people who just watch legal dramas on tv versus the one who are actually real legal scholars. >> jesse: i was pulled back from siding federalist 69 during this show. >> dana: you don't want to lose the audience. >> greg: i saw that on cinemax. >> dana: that was an interesting one. he was compelling personally. there were some lighter moments. that was with the more senior members of the committee on the democratic side. even senator feinstein come at the end of questioning, said thank you for being so forthcoming. there was a funny moment when he was asked what he wanted to be
2:04 pm
remembered for and he said i want to be remembered as a good dad. feinstein whispers "and good husband." there was laughter. even if the democrats don't like president trump, it's hard for them not to like brett kavanaugh when he is there answering all their questions. interesting to me, i believe the democrats of starting to prevent it from trying to block his nomination to trying to influence him. i would point specifically to senator whitehouse, the democrat who said he was concerned about amicus briefs and these outside groups funding them and wasting the court time and this was bad and basically it was like when you get on the bench, could you check into this? brett kavanaugh said i am worried about that too. i would be happy to. bork said that senior members asking questions. some of the junior members are going to come up in a little bit. senator booker perhaps. gutfeld has a great invitation. i don't know if he's going to share that but we will share into -- dip into booker. >> greg: i only do it for
2:05 pm
special occasions. i have an answer to this marathon. let's face facts. we know how this movie ends. we know who's going to vote which way and who's going to vote against. it's kind of like watching die-hard or "die hard 2." you fast-forward to the slow parts. they should record these hearings but don't err it lives, and then a week later air it but we fast-forward through it so we can say here and boil it down. four days and 40 minutes. we don't have to suffer through. we already have, it's like a movie. we sit there and fast-forward. this is good and that we skip this part because frankly it's interminable. the protesters, i think they are giving protests a bad name. i am pro-protest. not all protesters are crazy but i'm convinced all crazy people are protesters. it feels like a mob action, frustration they can't somehow have an impact so all of these lonely cranks get together and
2:06 pm
the scream like hyenas in a bear trap. i'm sorry. i find it objectionable. at >> jesse: thought you were going to say all crazy people are democrats. >> greg: i would never say that. i'm not into the tribal thing. >> jesse: no, no. [laughter] the other day, he reminded me of something you've said in the past, tv cameras and the works shouldn't zoom in on the protesters when they are shrieking like hyenas and giving them all the attention. instead, like a football game, if you have a streaker run out into the 50-yard line, juan, don't take it. they don't want to encourage that type of behavior. do you think that's a good idea? >> juan: i am surprised. the problem may be that i was watching fox, but i didn't see that the ever focused on the protesters. >> dana: we don't very much. >> jesse: on a few occasions. i watching too much c-span? >> juan: i wanted to double
2:07 pm
down on something dana said. i think the democrats acknowledge the reality. it's going to be very hard to stop this nominee. they don't have the votes. at the same time, what you hear from republicans, senator graham spoke to this today. look at the number of votes prior candidates got, republican or democrat, people no republicans are going to nominate conservatives. liberals are going to nominate liberals. he said i'm so sorry won't be able to say to your kids, your family, that you got 90-plus votes in support which is what for example justice scalia god. or i think it was up in the 60s, maybe 70s. 60s i'm sure that kagan and sotomayor were able to get. bipartisan. we live in such polarized times there right now he's just -- she's not going to get any democratic votes come i don't think. >> jesse: how many votes to gorsuch get? 60 or 70? >> dana: i think you can get some democratic votes. the red state democrats up for reelection.
2:08 pm
>> juan: i'm not sure it matters at this point. i think the bigger point -- >> katie: it matters a whole lot. >> juan: it doesn't matter in terms of grams saying -- it used to be that the senate would be sort of unanimous. >> dana: it also used to be the you needed 60 votes but who change that? >> juan: i know who change that. senate leader mitch mcconnell. one of the fables put up by republicans. no, democrats changed -- >> dana: when harry reid changed it for confirmation, mitch mcconnell said be careful what you wish for. it will come back to hurt you. >> juan: he ratcheted up to the supreme court. >> katie: harry reid thinking everyone, who encouraged him to do filibuster reform so they could do it exactly what they want and now democrats regret it. >> juan: i disagree. i think it was republicans. >> katie: it wasn't. it is a fact. >> jesse: that's not a fact. [all speaking]
2:09 pm
>> jesse: it started in the lower court. republicans brought a -- >> juan: that's exactly -- now let me. >> jesse: sour grapes. i >> juan: you have a different case. on the merits, i think the important thing that's going on is the democrats are trying to suggest saying look, all this guy is is a rubber-stamp. he's a political actor. he's been a political actor all his life. in specific that he's a guy who would let president trump off if trump is ever -- tries to pardon himself or request or reject the subpoena from a prosecutor. >> jesse: katie, do you think he would do that? do you think he is a trump rubber-stamp? >> katie: i don't. today we learned he ruled against the bush at administration in a very important terror case. >> dana: he ruled against the bush administration several times. >> katie: on the lighter side, as greg was saying, this has
2:10 pm
been a long day. i would sam happy i got some harvard education without the price tag today by listening to brett kavanaugh but i liked when he talked about playing as a team and he showed his bipartisanship. he said he will be on the supreme court, it's a team of nine. the ted cruz exchange when he talked about merrick garland and judge kavanaugh's work with merrick garland, how they agreed on 90% -- >> jesse: he said he's going to be influenced by elena kagan? >> katie: he said he learned a lot about elena kagan -- from elena kagan. democrats are saying this and republicans helped portray he's not a right-wing crazy guy. he's actually pretty moderate, middle-of-the-road conservative. >> jesse: he is a moderate? >> katie: i'm crushing all of jesse's hopes. >> juan: jesse wants a right
2:11 pm
wing trump -- how would you say? >> dana: we learned a lot about the funding of the country and federalist 17 in all this stuff but advise and consent is what the senate is supposed to do. it was purely about, for a long time come about qualifications. he is highly qualified. everyone agrees about that. >> juan: it's not about qualifications. >> dana: not anymore. >> juan: the swing seat on the court. >> jesse: there is a resister who came out in "the new york times" and is anonymous and has said they are trying to control him. >> point after point after point, if you look, almost 4 million jobs created since the election. [applause] more americans now employed than ever recorded in our history. we have more people working today than at any point ever in our history. we have created 400,000 manufacturing jobs.
2:12 pm
manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in more than 30 years. economic growth last quarter was 4.2%. as you people know, it was headed down big and it was a low number, very low number. in my opinion, it would've been less than 0. he was headed towards negative numbers. new unemployment claims recently, the unemployment picture in the country is the best it's been in 49 years. african-american unemployment, lowest in the history of our country. asian american unemployment, lowest in the history of our country. hispanic-american unemployment, lowest in the history of our country. i mean, i am just looking at these point after point. under my administration, veterans unemployment reached its lowest in many, many years.
2:13 pm
almost 3.9 million americans have been lifted off food stamps just since my election. then you go into all the benefits that we've got from the tax cuts, all of you people benefited tremendously from the tax cuts. [applause] going into regulations. you go into right to try. right to try is when you have, if a person is terminally ill, you override to go and try and see whether or not a drug that's not approved yet can be used and utilized. they didn't allow that. point after point, getting rid of the individual mandate. the most unpopular thing there is in obamacare. coming up with new health care plans. we have never had a period, even if you look at the olympics, got the olympics, the world cup. you just saw that. they were in my office. the world cup. we have started the wall. nobody has ever done in less than a two year period what we have done.
2:14 pm
you tell me about some anonymous source within the administration, probably who is failing, and probably here for all the wrong reasons, and "the new york times" is failing. if i weren't here, i believe "the new york times" probably wouldn't even exist. [laughter] [applause] someday when i'm not president which hopefully will be in about six and a half years from now, "the new york times," cnn, and all these phony media outlets will be out of business, folks. they will be out of business. there will be nothing to write and there will be nothing of interest. nobody has done with this administration has done, and i agree it's different from an agenda which is much different than ours and it's certainly not yours. that i can tell you. it's about open borders. it's about letting people flee into our country. it's about a disaster and crime for our country.
2:15 pm
so they don't like donald trump. i don't like them because they are very dishonest people. remember this also about the "the new york times." when i won, they were forced to apologize to their subscribers. they wrote a letter of apology. it was the first time anybody has ever done it because they covered the election incorrectl incorrectly. so if the failing "new york times" has an anonymous editorial, can you believe it? anonymous. meaning gutless. a gutless editorial. we are doing a great job. the poll numbers are through the roof. the poll numbers are great. nobody is going to come close to beating me in 2020 because of what we've done. we have done more than anybody ever thought possible. it's not even two years. thank you very much. [cheers and applause]
2:16 pm
>> jesse: that was the president at a law enforcement event. kind of going off script a little bit because of this major bombshell in "the new york times." this is an op-ed published anonymous. it says "i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration. i work for the president like minded colleagues and i have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. "this isn't a democrat, greg, who has come out and said i am a bernie bro and a mole. i guess this is a republican who wants the administration to succeed. they want a strong military, tax cuts, deregulation. but because of the presidents character, because of the president style and ideology and the way he kinds of changes things and they say his immorality, they are not carrying out directives and he
2:17 pm
says many of them. many officials and appointees believe the same way and they protecting the country from trump like he is a child. >> greg: there's two points to make. one that's specific and one that's general. in this editorial, we want the administration to succeed they say because he's already made america a safer and more prosperous -- what more do you want than that? because you don't like his personality? we have already made america safer and more prosperous. what do you want? you just prove the deep state, you moron. i have been a boss. i understand the way people talk about bosses. bosses are mercurial, demanding, often infantile. >> jesse: we have one of the greatest bosses. >> greg: i would extend this to woodward's book as well. let's say you head cabbage for lunch, jesse. i said you're going to regret that. woodward writes "the gutfeld
2:18 pm
just threatened jesse watters." the fact is if you follow somebody around on their behavior. this is bob woodward to scotty my day. he just insulted dana perino's dog, an animal she loves dearly. then he made a joke about her height which i imagine she would be sensitive to because she didn't respond. she seems shocked. then he yelled at the producers about a segment. then he demanded a cough drop from the floor director and then he started talking to himself and singing about food. i have described my afternoon. the thing is, someone like woodward and "the new york times" takes these things literal and not in context about how a person is, how he bosses, they are completely clueless. each one of us could have this treatment done by somebody who takes stark, literal interpretations of behavior that is out of context. woodward is a stenographer. he's not a great journalist. >> juan: let me say i think he is a great journalist.
2:19 pm
>> greg: he doesn't get people. if i insulted you, he would write as though i did something horrible to you instead of it being a joke. >> juan: in that case, he would be wrong because he lacked context. i don't think that is generally the case with woodward. i think he's a very good reporter. the second thing to say is the piece that was written anonymously in the times is written by somebody who works for trump. >> greg: and leaked to the times. >> juan: i don't mind but i'm saying it's written by a trump person. >> greg: a senior official they know well, personally came to "the new york times." >> juan: my point to you is, if you look at "unhinged," the omarosa book, the ivanka willful, it seems to be from someone with more credibility, the same story, the same kind of behavior. this guy saying this is it saying we are doing what we can to preserve our democrat is it institution -- thing this is not
2:20 pm
deep state. >> jesse: he has taken it upon himself to say is an unelected person that the will of the american people doesn't matter. even though they elected president trump to be the commander-in-chief, to be the chief executive, and to do the things that he campaigned on and follow through on his promises, i have elevated myself above that, above the commander-in-chief and above the american people in this democracy and i'm the adult in the room and i'm going to do what i think is necessary for the country instead of what the commander-in-chief believes is best -- this is what that offense has. juan, i don't know what's going on in this administration but that's kind of scary. >> juan: not to me. >> jesse: not to you because it helps you. >> juan: i am an american. i want the best for the country. trump is my president. when trump behaves in this way, you don't have any fear.
2:21 pm
>> jesse: i'm not going to speak for the president but the president is obviously unorthodox. he shoots from the hip and i believe a lot of people -- >> katie: the bigger question question -- >> jesse: one person as the president. >> katie: i defer to dana on this because she worked in the white house but i think the larger question is with the people working for an administration and leaking out information and publishing anonymous op-eds is good for the country. serious questions about "the new york times" publishing this because the society professional journalists has a very long code. they say avoid lurid curiosity, all kinds of things are supposed to avoid. their explanation for publishing an anonymous op-ed is pretty thin when it comes to the justification. it used to be that you used the sources very sparingly because he had to make sure the information was reliable and the people understood where it was coming from to have a broader context. they are treating everybody who happens to be against trump like
2:22 pm
a whistle-blower and it's damaging to people who actually want to come forward and have those protections to root out real corruption in the government because this op-ed wasn't published to expose some kind of new revelation about trump's behavior. it was published because "the new york times" agreed with it. >> juan: there was no such op-ed written -- >> katie: why does a person need protection to -- >> jesse: the president did address it. we didn't catch all that. let's listen and then can react. >> "i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration." >> can you imagine this? we have someone in what i call the failure times talking about he is part of the resistance within the trump administration. this is what we have to deal with. the dishonest media. you people deal with that as well as i do. it's really a disgrace. i will say -- >> jesse: it's about the trump administration and the media. >> dana: i think whoever wrote this is being incredibly
2:23 pm
self-indulgent. if you have the privilege to be a political appointee at a senior level in the white house, then you have a moral responsibility and a duty of conscience to resign your post if you disagree. you should not be lapping up the benefits of being a senior administration official no doubt while scouting for lucrative opportunities for when you leave your post. >> greg: who do you think it is? >> dana: i don't know. at the same time, there preening in the mirror and they have this ability to hide behind the credibility of "the new york times." i believe this is real. something is a little suspicious to me about this. it's been reported for the past three weeks that the white house has been grappling with how to deal with this woodward book. what are they going to do with it? the white house apparently was surprised this was coming out. i don't know who it is. maybe you'll find out. maybe we won't but i will say if
2:24 pm
you are this person, you really should resign tonight. >> juan: let me ask a question of all of you. how is it that you don't hear or take seriously three separate books plus this op-ed? you blame the media. >> dana: none of us are surprised that the president has said words that are unorthodox. it's not a surprise. >> juan: erratic, impulsive. >> greg: i will take a jerk. i don't care if my surgeon is a jerk. if he gets the tumor out and saves my life, good surgeon. >> katie: constantly talking about how dangerous donald trump's but they promote stuff like this which causes serious problems inside the white house and serious problems for the country based on anonymous sources. they are cowards because they are not willing to say it publicly when they are serious consequences. >> dana: i don't blame "the new york times" for publishing it. had hillary clinton won and someone in her administration had set i am so upset.
2:25 pm
fox news, can you run this? we would have done it. >> greg: i wouldn't have. >> katie: if they were working in the white house, without a been a good idea? >> dana: either in administration, republican or democrat, if you have the privilege of working for the united states government. you work for the american people. if you can't stand it and you are that upset and if you think you are saving the country, stop patting yourself on the back. resign tonight. >> juan: jeff sessions and mike pence for writing -- >> jesse: >> jesse: oh! >> katie: i have a serious problem with journalism outlets like "the new york times" using anonymous sources always. that has been the standard for the past year and a half and not backing it up with justifications of this person needed whistle-blower protection because they are in an fbi investigation or they are in the department of justice and there's a huge corruption scandal. it's political. >> juan: john baron, do you know who he is? he was saying that he was the anonymous source on so many trump stories.
2:26 pm
>> jesse: saying that the president is all of a sudden impulsive? everybody knew donald trump was impulsive. he's been impulsive his whole life. he was impulsive in the primaries and in the general and the american people voted for him. to get in there and say this guy is so impulsive, we have to do something, that's with the american people wanted. >> juan: now he is president. stealing letters off his desk. >> jesse: obama could have been a little more impulsive. instead he sat back. >> greg: you have to read some of the stuff were they go, effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military. but they are complaining about his style, meaning he changes his mind. changing his mind is what we are supposed to be. we love people change their minds. he's not an ideologue. they want an ideologue. >> dana: i don't know.
2:27 pm
>> jesse: they want someone who sticks what they say it can be easily understood and president trump, to a lot of people, is very hard to understand. they are trying to guide him in the right direction or as they see is the right direction and that's not their job. >> dana: this person is being successful because if you look at the actual actions of the administration, governing quite a conservative president. a couple things on trade. what are you doing? you are actually being successful. now you're possibly taken your success and flushed it down the toilet. >> jesse: they are saying it's not trump. the country is been successful despite trump. all this guys doing in all his friends in the quote-unquote resistance, they want credit for the success of this country and the administration and they say all the bad things are the president's fault. >> greg: at the end of the call, they bring in senator john mccain, which i thought was just --
2:28 pm
>> dana: did you see omarosa street? i flagged to this would be, some page of her book. she circles one of the things, it could even be a family membe member. that's a weird thing, living in a weird reality tv show. >> jesse: sarah huckabee sanders, she must've been watching "the five" because she has a very similar take to dana perino. this coward must resign. >> dana: she could have come up with that on her own. she didn't need to watch "the five" ." i can't stand it when reporters write, oh, obviously watching my show on that's why he made the decision to enter into this war with -- >> juan: no, no. you are a wise person and she probably sees you. >> dana: i'm sure they came to this conclusion the moment they saw the headline. >> juan: i will say to you, jesse, how come no one in the
2:29 pm
bush administration, obama administration did this? >> jesse: they did not have the loyalist sun team. >> dana: some people resigned. think about paul o'neill, first treasury secretary for president bush, he said i am done with this. resigning was the honorable thing to do. >> katie: these people who write these offense committed they are saving the country in the world from donald trump on d their only crating more chaos. this doesn't help anybody. it doesn't help the country. it doesn't help the white house. >> juan: you aren't listening to this at all. >> greg: everybody talks about their boss. it's what you do to relieve steam. a lot of this is from former workers. especially the woodward stuff which sounded like you talk to people who heard stuff, not to the actual people. this is what people do when they talk about their boss. they don't say how wonderful he is. the only remover the stuff that pisses you off. as a boss, people --
2:30 pm
>> juan: this is the president of the united states. >> katie: he has a number of high-level cabinet members, senior officials who aren't writing these offense have a number of experiences and experience in government leading american troops into war who were also advising him who aren't writing these. >> dana: president trump allows them to do their jobs. he's not a micromanager when it comes to the cabinet. a lot of them media, i do think they are missing big stories. you got it in a cabinet agency and you could find a ton of things that are happening. "the new york times" did that with the epa. >> jesse: what has ben carson been up to? what's he been doing? what about perry? >> katie: ryan zinke has been doing a lot of things. >> dana: linda mcmahon. >> jesse: do you think, -- >> juan: never in the news these days.
2:31 pm
>> jesse: are really high level senior administration official or do you think this is a small ballplayer trying to make himself -- >> dana: great question. one would figure out a way to talk to report on background, i would say deputy level and above, you could claim senior administration official. i did love my friend well, i think he's out there working not in government anymore. he was a press assistant. he was giving a report or information about something happening and they said can i quote you as a senior administration official and he said no. but you can quote me as a junior at administration official. it could be a lot of different -- >> katie: "the new york times" said it was a senior official in trouble administration. could be so many people. >> jesse: ryan zinke's deputy undersecretary for affairs. trump nemesis senator rich ricd blumenthal set to grill brett kavanaugh next.

>> dana: fox news alert. we are still in the senate judiciary committee hearing for brett kavanaugh. this is the second day. we are expecting that senator richard blumenthal is going to be questioning brett kavanaugh. this has been a marathon day. we will get to this in a moment. one more thought from you, jesse, about this hearing and how it's going and how it looks for president trump. >> jesse: the small amount i saw today, every time i watched -- >> dana: i'm glad i went to you for this final thought. >> jesse: it's incredibly boring. >> katie: i love it. >> jesse: it's fun to watch but there's not a lot of explosive moments where anyone lays a glove on the guide because the guys move. he can't be rattled. he says everything he has been prepped to say and he's likable. greg would agree with anyone -- anyone with a good sense of
2:37 pm
humor is obviously intelligent. he is personable. he has a great personal story. his mother, his daughters. look at is haircut. he's got a haircut prep year than mine. >> juan: jesse committee of a great personal story. i love your family. you think i want you on the supreme court? >> katie: one of his law student said they really liked his hair. >> juan: the big story here is are we politicizing the supreme court so people no longer feel they can get a heat fair hearing. >> greg: it started with bork and it's been unraveling. republicans are generally very, very deferential. >> dana: are republican seem to be able to count votes better. we are going to go to this hearing. let's hear brett kavanaugh answer questions from senator blumenthal. >> the confidence of the american people on the judiciary and the rule of law in the united states. one key facet of the
2:38 pm
independence of the judiciary, as i have studied the history of nominees, is not to make commitments on particular cases. i'm >> i'm not asking for a particular commitment and i'm going to take your answer as a "no." it's really a "yes" or "no" question. you will not commit to recuse yourself. you will not commit to take yourself out of that decision despite the unique circumstances of your nomination. >> to be consistent with the principal of the independent judiciary should not and may not make a commitment about how i would handle a particular case and the decision to participate in a case is itself a decision in a particular case and therefore following the precedent set by all the nominees before me, i need to be careful. you may disagree with this but this is part of what i see as the independence of the judiciary. >> i do disagree and i am troubled and disturbed by your
2:39 pm
