what the senate judiciary committee plans to do about the kavanaugh hearings and getting them going. we will have an update as well on that "new york times" report on the deputy attorney general and so much more. we'll see you then, the five is now. ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone i'm dana perino along with morgan or tag gas, maria hamp and jesse waters and greg gutted if he would it's new york city and this is "the five." a lot of breaking news to get to including reports that deputy attorney general rod rosenstein discussed wearing a water to secretly record the president and ini vehicling the 25th amendment. new information and our reaction to that developing story. but, first, the battle over confirming brett kavanaugh. senate judiciary committee republicans hoping to have an answer by the end of the day on if christine blasey ford will appear next week at possible workers' compensation hearing.

lawyers for dr. ford laying out demands last night that include having brett kavanaugh testify first. republicans are pushing back on that request during negotiations. president trump also weighing in by accusing democrats of trying to, quote: destroy and delay. the president also saying it's time to move forward with the nomination. >> i don't think you can delay it any longer. they have delayed it a week already. they have been accommodating. i say let her say what she has to say and see how it all comes out. but they have delayed it a week. and they have to get on with it. >> dana: new information out today one of the things her lawyers have said now greg, she does not want to fly. so she doesn't want to testify on monday because, perhaps, she might have to drive to washington. >> greg: you kind of get the sense now that democrats are just playing with us. you know, people that want to get this thing done and do the right thing. they are just saying let's just try this avenue. they offered -- didn't the republicans offer to come and see her. here is a tell that this is all political.

when everyone on the other side assumes the worst of your opinion. so if you believe this is political and they say well, you are defending sexual abuse. no, i'm just admitting this is more complicated and more nuanced a problem than you wish it was. and the dems in a political battle they do not accommodate. but republicans do. and the reason why because democrats always attack you morally. they attack your character. they say that, you know, if you do not, you know, if you do not believe this person, you are an evil, sexist creature. they would agree with me with this too by the way. the republicans get scared and oh, oh, back off, they are accommodating and o. come dating and now they are being taken advantage of. it might be time to say enough. we would fly out there first class to see you or fly you out here first class. we will get a motorcade. we will do whatever you want. and the fact that's not enough is telling you something. >> dana: maria, one of the things about that is now that they say they don't want a lawyer to ask any questions during the

hearing. they want it to be the senators but they want brett kavanaugh to go first. how can he go first if the allegations against him are not laid out before that? >> maria: there is nothing to respond to, right? look, there is a lot of back and forth on details and how this will happen. i don't think there is a substantive difference between monday, wednesday or friday. if she can drive let her testify. >> greg: i think it's dangerous. >> maria: i wouldn't drive across the country if she wants to drive let her drive. >> greg: safer to fly. >> maria: famous thing about choreography. i can't get that word out like i have been drinking and i haven't. they will be hammering out those details over the days before this happens a bigger question politically, dana, is president trump changing his tune this morning. a lot of republicans in the senate, i think, were very happy and in the house were very happy that he had been measured that he had said he was willing to hear from her and wasn't attacking her personally. this morning he changed tunes. he went after her on twitter

really aggressively. i have think there are some republicans on the hill that i'm hearing from like this is already complicated enough as it is. president trump is not a perfect vehicle to push back on these kind of allegations. >> dana: i would say from president trump's perspective, he has been pretty patient, jesse for about five days. >> jesse: patient for trump. >> jesse: more patient than anything i have ever seen him do and people on the hill as you said were very happy with that he was not happy withholding back. and he unloaded. i thought that was about a 3 out of 10. he could have gone much harder after her. i'm sure is he chomping at the bit, too. he kind of feels the way greg has been feeling about this. we have reached a point where republicans have bent over backwards to accommodate her. and they want to hear from her. and they are doing everything possible to make it easy for her to come and testify. but, you get the point that they are getting strung along from the driving, to the footy, to the not returning the phone calls.

it's all about delay. and it makes you think do they really care about getting the truth out or do they care about delaying? she testifies on wednesday, right, after the drive across country. i hope it's scenic and she hits no traffic. tuesday comes around and oh, maybe she is sick. maybe there is another witness that's come forward. you don't know what's going to happen. at this point i have lost total trust in dianne feinstein and the rest of the democrats on the committee. they have abused the process throughout the last month. what's to think they are not going to pull some more high jinx at the end and preface it by saying if it's true i feel for this woman. i believe she believes something happened. the more and more we get into the gamesmanship the more skeptical people get. >> dana: morgan, today mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader was at the value voters conference. and he said don't get rattled. just stay calm. he will be a supreme court justice and he said soon. what do you think he was trying to signal?

>> i agree that i think what we have seen the past week is something that looked like okay we wanted to seriously hear this bomb and it's gotten more and more political this week. if you will notice, and i have to say i'm pretty disappointed in the democrat numbers on the justice committee. people like feinstein ohio actually thought during those four days actually conducted herself well compared to spartacus and others on the committee and there are other people on that committee i have traveled with on congressional delegates with that i have a high opinion of. to see their statements which i think have gotten to be so blatantly political, if you really think this woman is a woman of sexual assault. if you truly believe that i don't think she something handled properly by the democrats at all. and axios is reporting, has just reported that the democrats are seeing this as another wedge moment to drive out even more female votes for the mid terms. it's gotten political and the democrats know that they see that this is an issue to get more women out. you know what? i think it's disgusting because sexual assault is the most underreported crime

that there is i think we all probably know someone who has been a victim. the way this has turned -- i know we can all be cynical the way this has been turned into a nasty partisan exercise to drive out voters for midterm election by democrats i find unseemly. >> jesse: that's a good point. i'm not sure we can place all the blame on dr. ford. >> i'm not blaming her i'm blaming the democrats. >> jesse: she has a team around her now lawyer katz and work artist doing this against judicial nominees. outside judicial group helping her and senate democrats. she is being advised by people to some it looks like may not have her best interest at heart. they may think more about derailing the nomination than actually helping an alleged victim of a sexual assault. >> maria: look, i don't want that to be the case. i want this to be about getting to the truth. republicans are also playing with this as well. they think if it gets delayed there drive out their base.

you have lindsey graham saying kavanaugh has been the victim of a drive by shooting and listen to the lady but we have got to move on. everyone needs to handle this very carefully in the next week my point about donald trump was this is very delegate. the republicans on the hill up for re-election this year do not want to play this wrong. they saw what happened in '2 after the anita hill hearing. the first year of the woman when women came out to vote in droves because of this. they don't want donald trump given his history and baggage to screw up the dance they are trying to do right now to take this seriously and get to the truth. >> dana: i did want to bring this up because, greg, in minnesota we have talked about keith ellison and the accusations against him, right in the new poll was conducted minnesota star tribune and minnesota radio news find only 5% of democrats in minnesota believe the allegations of emotional and physical abuse leveled against representative ellison who is the dnc's deputy chair. feels a little bit like double standard.

>> greg: sadly, team sport politics infects everything. it infects the clothes you wear now. it effects politics. it effects sports. it effects entertainment. and now it's polluting and poisoning relationships between genders. i mean, the fact is we do -- i think men and women both want to get to the truth. but, if you point out the possibility that this is a murky uncorroborated story and that the male might be innocent, then you will see people in the media say things like um, what is that person hiding? what that does is keeps people from actually speaking out. you can be legitimately scared of being falsely accused and not have due process. you should be scared of that what people will say to you, no, you are not scared of that you are scared of what you did that summer. what did you do when you were in high school? and that has everybody going like -- but i'm just saying imagine if all men and all women said enough. you can't operate on the politics of a personal destruction, okay?

we want to get to the truth. but we're seeing how this goes. and we see that we are all vulnerable. so, you know, sensible americans believe in justice and due process. and we're not seeing it. >> dana: all right, democrats already have a plan to unseat kavanaugh if he gets confirmed. reports out of washington suggesting rod rosenstein suggest you had secretly recording donald trump. ♪ the national liberty started shaking her fist ♪ and the eagle will fly ♪ and it's gonna be hell ♪ when you hear the freedom start ringing her bell ♪ ♪ this is the angel oak. some say the oldest living thing east of the mississippi. it's weathered countless storms.

have behaved at all properly. >> maria: the "new york times" getting a lot of attention for this op-ed making the case for impeaching kavanaugh if he gets to sit on the high court. okay. jesse. >> jesse: yes. >> maria: seems like a long list of things democrats want to investigate if we -- if and when we take the house back in november. do you think this is a real serious threat or just an empty threat? >> jesse: is he a liar. >> maria: couch? >> jesse: no. they had a chance to go behind closed doors and invited by the senate majority on the judiciary committee and they abstained. now they are plain complaining. you had your chance. you are honestly not an honest broker in this process. they are also doing it to rally the base, obviously. who knows? you know, if they do win the house or the senate, anything can happen. it's all on the table, impeachment not only of kavanaugh but of president

trump. and i just think -- he was speaking the truth there i i think they are honestly going to go all in on this administration. all in. >> maria: dana, do you think this -- democratic voters are very fired up. we have senile that the base is very excited to vote. how do you think that message plays, we're, what, 45 days to the mid terms? >> dana: repeatedly what voters say what they want is they want washington to get stuff done. >> maria: right. >> dana: if you are campaigning on only doing investigations of the president and his administration, that spells one word, and it's gridlock. so you don't actually get to what the voters say they want. it might be what the democratic base wants. it might be something that they want, you know, they want to fight, but it's interesting how the democrats seem to be flail ling because they know for three decades the conservatives worked together to figure out a way to find really good nominees like brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch and john roberts and justice alito and amy conan barrett. there is a pipeline of

excellent conservative judges and the democrats have blown this issue off. they didn't care. so instead of actually winning elections so they could put somebody on the court. they just want to impeach and investigate, which is pretty unsatisfying. special if you want to go to washington and do good stuff. >> maria: greg, i think we also hear from voters that they want some accountability from the trump administration. that they don't feel like the republicans in congress are doing much oversight of the trump administration which i would agree with. >> jesse: oversight? they have been subpoenaing the doj and fbi all year. >> maria: we will get to doj in a second. they haven't -- compared to the kind of oversight they provided to the administration i worked, in it feels different. let's put it that way. >> greg: very transparent administration maria. let's investigate kavanaugh after he is confirmed because then, your party would be able to prove that this merely wasn't political. if they really believe this and they believe it with all their heart they should investigate him. they should go for him after he has been confirmed.

because if he gets confirmed, and then you never hear about this story again, what do you know? you know that it was 100 percent political. while we are investigating, you know who else should be investigated? who was the person who had a chinese spy for 20 years as a driver? while that was happening her husband got rich in china like an hand area consol honoray console. 20 year driver who was a spy. i think dianne feinstein should be investigated as well. >> jesse: here here. >> greg: solved a lot of problems here. >> maria: interesting theory if democrats are not just being partisan they will actually continue investigating if is he confirmed. morgan, what say you? >> morgan: i was talking to someone at the republican committees about the polling typically what you see when you have a party controlling the white house and congress voters tend to want to vote another party in power so there is a check and balance this is natural in the process. what the polster told me was that while that there is an element of that that is happening with independents,

what's happened because the democrats are running people that are so far extreme to the left, wanting to abolish ice. socialism for all. >> maria: in some districts not in all. >> the point being that natural tendency of the independent to go towards the democrat is now tempered by the fact that they know that voters don't actually want impeachment when you poll them. they don't want all of these ongoing investigations. they certainly don't want impeachment of trump much less a supreme court justice. i actually think that democrats do themselves a misservice on mid terms when they run. it's incredibly easy for the president to rev up base. they won't even thrive to impeach me. impeach kavanaugh. all ready. >> maria: kavanaugh has really low approval ratings for a supreme court nominee. >> dana: they have gone down in the last week. >> maria: even before this nomination historically low for a supreme court nominee. we will continue to watch. that will be crazy. bombshell reports.

this "new york times" piece is, again, we have memos coming out of the fbi. so, what they are saying is that mccabe left these meetings with rosenstein and potentially briefed other people or wrote memos himself that detailed the discussions of what rosenstein said, which made me think does rosenstein even know about these memos and it's interesting to me the bureaucratic pattern of writing a memo the minute you get out of a meeting that seems to undermine whomever is in office. >> dana: yes. know that andy mccabe and lisa page both wrote notes afterwards. they were both in that said meeting. i thought it was very interesting is all these signs point to mccabe is the source. and matthew miller, who worked at the justice department spokesperson under obama, the tweet that came out as soon as this story broke and he read it said andrew mccabe is playing a very dangerous game here. he is under threat of indictment for lying to federal investigators. and so, you know, if he wants to see if can he try

this in a court of public opinion, i think is he probably going to lose. as i understand it, we read from our justice department senior officials -- i'm sorry, our producers that talked to justice department senior officials that they were in a heated argument. this is right after comey is going to get fired. rosenstein had written the draft letter. then he finds out it's going forward and that they are in a heated argument and that the wire comment was said in guest. iguest. it wasn't meant to be serious. mccabe wants to bring rosenstein down. that's his goal. >> morgan: interesting to me that not only does the "new york times" have the memos the special counsel has these memos is there any relevance here? what do you think the special counsel could be doing with these memos? >> maria: i have no idea what the special counsel is doing with them except one the mandates was to look into obstruction of justice in the comey firing and if there evidence as reported in the "times" that

rosenstein did not -- was surprised when president trump blamed rosenstein so much or put all the onus on him for having fired comey and he was furious about it that's probably part of that investigation. when i first read the story, i thought someone leaked this because they want rosenstein to get fired by president trump. but i think they want trump to fire rosenstein to prompt what some people say could be some sort of constitutional crisis. and this is like a weird. >> dana: to fire sessions as well. >> maria: exactly do like a saturday night massacre in slow motion. so i don't know who leaked, this but that was the first thing i thought when i read it i thought rosenstein is going to get fired because of this. whether or not he did it. and that will set in motion something i think is going to be very nasty with very uncertain ending. look, if it's true that he was serious, i think that says something about president trump. but we have no clue. i don't go around making jokes about the 25th amendment. i don't think it's

particularly funny. we have people pushing back saying that's what he did do you think rosenstein will get fired? >> dana: i don't know. is it monday? ask me monday. >> maria: jesse, whemaria. >> morgan: jess what i thought what done to the political leadership not the rank and file he has essentially punched a hornets nest, right? what you are seeing here is a political leadership across various intel agencies and across the fbi that i think quite literally have it out for the president. they are going to do it in their bureaucratic way. if it's writing a memo and preserving it and give it to special counsel they are flaming mad at him. jess jet the hornets were stinging him nut campaign and he smashed a nest and that's why we have a mess. two ways to look at it leak from mccabe and ax to grind and save his skin because is he getting pressure from the feds and he is facing time or you can look at it like

hey, maybe there is some truth to this. because, remember the last time rod rosenstein was accused of threatening senate staffers and investigate them and turn them inside out oh, yeah, he was misinterpreted that's not exactly what he said. we have been through this before. we know that mccabe is a leaker. i mean, that's on the record. he is already known to be a leaker. if it's true that he was conspiring rod rosenstein in any way against the president, and if you look at the article, it says he was paranoid. he was frazzled after comey was fired. he didn't know what was going on. that was the mental state that he was in when he appointed mueller to be special counsel. that adds a little intrigue about that and raises a lot of doubts about his mental state during that too. remember, he also signed off on every single fisa application. he also has been foot-dragging on all the document requests from the doj. when he went out there and testified on capitol hill, he did not come across well. he came across as squirrely like strzok did and people didn't really like the way he presented himself.

is he a villain in trump world and trump world is going to look at this and say this guy needs to get axed fast. >> morgan: greg, do you think anyone. >> greg: can you get a picture of rod rosenstein next to me close up of his face? i'm older than him. i just want to point out that i'm older than that fellow. i am incredibly depressed. i disagree with everything that jesse said that doesn't happen very often. i think donald trump should be incredibly sympathetic with rod rosenstein. because what happened to rod is what has been happening to trump since trump became president which is taking things meant sarcastically or as a joke as real or truth or literally. we have learned that has been a problem with the press. >> jesse: couldn't have happened to a better person. i have got to tell you. he deserved it then. >> greg: i think the context of it was he said what do

you want me to do wear a wire? that is not serious? that is sarcasm. we are living in a world, jesse, you should be agreeing with me, we are living in a world where humor and sarcasm no longer flies and neither does context. how many times have you made a joke and somebody on said ah-ha he said so and so is a witch. >> jesse: humorless person. we saw that at the hearing. >> greg: large percentage of the population who can't tell a joke. not take a joke but tell a joke from something else. you may -- that's not a joke. you may not be able to tell. >> dana: also, you have a very different job. if you have a public facing job where you are funny and that is your job. brett kavanaugh is actually very funny. he was not funny in the hearing. but that's not his job. his job is to be serious. >> jesse: i understand that. you have to separate the two

instances, one is instance joking about the wire. maybe that was a joke in the heat of the moment. mccabe also claims in his memo and can you take whatever he says in the memo with a grain of salt that he did say he wanted to invoke the 25th amendment and that is not a joke and separate instances future gut you don't know that. >> jesse: i will write a memo after the segment and memorialize and say gutfeld -- [laughter] >> morgan: anti-trump filmmaker michael moore my favorite -- not really -- with a promise that will make many republicans happy. that and more in the fastest seven up next ♪ ♪ welcome to the place where people go to learn about
