"the five" ." this is video of george herbert walker bush when he crashed into the sea as a young pilot. it's what we call a hero. if you are young playing video games, shopping online or fulminating on facebook, it's because of something called leisure time and leisure time was brought to you by millions of men and women whose bravery in times of war made our idle

activity possible. i wonder, would we even be here if it weren't for men like him? the passing of george herbert walker bush reminds me of the recent passing of john mccain. men and women unifies people. we try to forget about the other stuff when realize it's pointless. people come and go on the planet and in our lives it helps to remember that all of us have something in common with the great ones. with the exception of a few chuckle buckets who use events to score political points, it's a share loss that reveals how we really are. none of us tweets in the face of death. kind kinder and gentler. a great person dies we can participate in the rituals. it's not a bad thing to use the

passing of a great man has an excuse to make life better. less finger-pointing. more handshakes. i'm sure we'll get to our tribes but for now let's do the guy a favor. be kind and gentle in case he is watching. dana, i am sitting in your chair which i feel quite strange. >> jesse: so do i. >> greg: i don't like being this close to jesse. >> jesse: topped stop touchinge under the table. >> greg: the irreverence lasted ten seconds. dana, you are in d.c. what are your thoughts? >> dana: it's obviously an honor to be here and to be able to have known them and talk about them. your monologue was spot on. a couple things that touched me today. i got a chance to interview vice president dan quayle and to look back in 1988 when he gave the convention speech. of course i remember that time.

i'm sure you do too. maybe jesse doesn't. maybe lisa boothe wasn't paying attention there, because she is so young as well. you realize things change. parties evolve. people have a way of sort of forgetting what things were like back then. moments like this allow you a chance to pause. the moment that touched me today was when senator bob dole went to the capital. he's 95 years old. as you see there, he's helped by an assistant to stand so that he could properly and in his way to pay his respects to george h.w. bush, who was a very good friend of his. of course they were competitors but friendly competitors. greg, i think last week we were talking about the greatest generation. i'm sorry, it was andy ferguson's piece. he was a friend of yours and a speechwriter for george h.w. bush and he wrote about a speech he had to give in

which, in 1982 during his reelection, the political consultant said don't talk about his war service. don't let him talk about his war service because it will make him look to old in comparison to bill clinton. then, four weeks before the election, the political consultants changed their mind and said maybe we should highlight his war service. he writes this teaching that the end of it, he says, in the article he wrote, ferguson says "nearly all of them are gone now." i think maybe that's why it feels very poignant. this greatest generation, we are having to say goodbye to them. >> greg: it's not just mr. bush, it's who he symbolizes, millions of men that are no longer here. juan, you worked, you are at the post in '88? you probably ran into president bush when he was president or vice president. >> juan: he was vice president, that's when i spend most of the time with him. flying around the country going to republican events, trying to get ronald reagan reelected. i had a wonderful time.

it was kind of like being at the feet of the master because you talk about a political -- he had been head of the republican national committee in addition to running twice for senator unsuccessfully but then holding a house eat twice from houston. he had been through a lot politically. he knew the political leadership going back to the goldwater days of '64. you talk about a republican party expert in terms of, i was saying he's famous for writing notes to people and i'm sure dana has a ton. i have some. he would write notes to all the party leader so that they felt they had a personal relationship with him. the axiom here was don't call somebody up to ask a favor, political favor, personal favor, right out of the box without saying how are you doing? how are you? how are the kids? that's the relationship he had, so that even the people disagreed with him, specifically i would guess in this day have tribes come if you say, greg,

the democrats. oh, my gosh. democrats had a pretty good relationship. didn't always come to good political ends because remember in terms of the budget deal where he allowed taxes to be raised in order to lower the deficit, it was held against him by some in the party, especially the far right, the newt gingrich types who said you are breaking your pledge not to raise taxes. read my lips, no new taxes. but this is an example, i keep saying that i would hold up to my children is that kind of person that you want to be. someone who is about public service, love of country, love of family, and treated people as individuals, not as i am george h.w. bush. who are you? no, it was like tell me about you. >> jesse: some personal reflections. i came up under the age of bush, he was in the vice presidency when i was young and then the presidency and that his son's presidency.

a great statesman in america. just a few things come to mind. humility, dignity, class, and love. you talk about he oversaw america winning the cold war. that was a time when he could have said america should just beat our chests and gloat and spike the football. instead, he didn't. he said absolutely nothing. the silence was very important at that time, there was a very powerful moment. i think he was raised in the prep school, boarding school era where good sportsmanship is drilled into you. he always won with class and dignity. also when he kicked saddam out of kuwait, he had the ability to rush to baghdad and overtake the entire government and he was humble enough to know the limitations of american military power. i think everyone, republicans and democrats, look back and say that was a wise and humble and noble decision. juan picked up on a few things.

the personal relationships he had with people, professional relationships, friendships. he really conducted in a classy way, communicated on stationary, picking up the phone. he did that for so many decades that he generated so much goodwill. towards the end met come the republican party was the party of bush. the rolodex, all the people he knew, the networks across the entire country, they had so much honor and reverence for him and his family. when he called and asked for something, it was sure, not a political favor. you are doing something for a friend. lastly, love. in terms of his relationship with barbara and his sons publicly at least, you would think a man of his generation wouldn't be conditioned to show that kind of affection towards other people, especially his family, in public. but his love and affection, the way he displayed it, was very modern. he wasn't afraid of embracing

people and crying and articulating that love. i think every father and every sound in this country should look at the relationship that he had with his sons and say that is how a true father-son relationship should be. >> lisa: i found myself this week reading his letters, and i think there's been so much talk about his integrity, kindness, the kind of man he was. if you read his letters, you can see it. the written word always lasts a much longer than what you say mtv or what you say during a debate or what have you. it's a beautiful thing for him because what a beautiful legacy to leave behind. vice president mike pence talked about this yesterday when the former president, when he wrote a letter to his son when he landed his first tail hook landing as a marine aviator, saying he shares the pride that mike pence has in his son. the letter he left bill clinton, you are our president, and i'm rooting for you. even though he defeated him and he was a one term president. what a beautiful thing to have

that character and leave that message to bill clinton. you look at the love letters to barbara and what a beautiful, loving relationship they had. the letter that he wrote about his daughter robin, who they lost, talking about the fact that she's always going to remain with them. all of these letters, what a beautiful legacy for him to leave behind. for future americans to see is a kind of integrity that the man had. >> juan: dana, what's going to happen tomorrow at the funeral? >> dana: you will have eulogies from george w. bush. that will be hard for me to get through because i am quite close to him, as christopher buckley, another speechwriter wrote, that they might've been new england roots but they have big tear ducts of a sicilian grandmother. then brian mulroney, the prime minister of canada, 1 of 41's best friends on the world stage. alan simpson from the great state of wyoming will also you eulogize him and then john meacham, the story the story. greg, you and i've said this. 41 really embodied this machine keep it in mind.

politics might be what we do, but it's not who we are. >> greg: thanks, dana. is mueller finally ready to wrap up his investigation? latest development in the russia probe. that's next. if i built a van, it would do more than haul. if i built a van, it would carry my entire business. i'd make it available in dozens, make that thousands of configurations. it would keep an eye on my fleet.

>> jesse: yahoo! news says that the president's attorneys are tying up loose ends in a rush investigation. this comes as new court filings do today on former national security advisor michael flynn could offer a road map to the mueller findings. all right, so we are waiting the sentencing memo. we have no idea what's going to be entered but there's a lot of speculation. one of the things we do know is that james comey did tell congressional investigators that he didn't think flynn intentionally lied. >> lisa: that's been in the back of my mind this entire time regarding flynn. chairman chuck grassley of the gesture committee has said that when comey met with investigators, they didn't think

flynn had lied and then mueller takes over the special counsel investigation and then flynn pleads to lying and pleads guilty to lying. then chairman grassley has been on doj and the fbi to give them the 302s with the questions that were asked of flynn and they've asked for that transcript with the former ambassador kislyak as well. i'm a big question is that. did flynn actually lie and the tactics, it speaks to the tactics of mueller as well. >> jesse: speaking of hard-nosed tactics, cohen do to be sentenced in the next week and juan, looks like he is caught up in some trump tower the doesn't even exist in moscow. somehow there is a scandal. >> juan: how is that, whistling past the graveyard?

>> lisa: you are a great whistler. >> juan: he does it every day. before we get going, can i ask greg a question. who is scot-free? i see that president trump is pleading that cohen should plead maximum sentence and then he puts uppercase scot-free. >> greg: it's always great to see liberals criticize people over misspelling words. i think there's enough to go around. >> juan: he had this twitter fury this morning. he went over not after -- not only after cohen. stone has guts because he won't turn on him. >> greg: listening to juan and when listening to other networks, it's like someone

describing a drug trip you are not on. hallucinations, impeachment, resignation, jail time. it's been a two-year long acid trip and it's not the good acid. to the media, it's almost like christmas. this is their christmas because they don't really believe in the stuff anyway. they are at the stage where they are hanging the stockings and looking under the bed in the closets for all the presents. they are never going to be happy unless they get this guy out because they are still suffering from being beaten and humiliated two years ago. >> jesse: you don't know what cohen is going to say. they get coal in their stockings. clean coal. >> juan: i'm not leaping to conclusions. >> jesse: you would never do that. >> juan: but the fear he and the tweeting this morning. >> greg: every day you are surprised by his tweets. to me, it is like checking the weather. 49 degrees and there is a tweet. >> lisa: did juan just leap to

a conclusion? you're reading his tweets and concluding something. >> juan: people don't act like that without a reason. >> jesse: let's go to someone who has never been on an acid trip, dana perino in washington, d.c. dana, close it out for us. the mueller investigation hopefully winding down. >> dana: the yahoo reporter who did the piece, saying it was about to wrap up, michael is a cough. when i worked at the justice department, he was with "newsweek" or "time" magazine and we were spokespeople for the justice department, you could almost count every friday night at 5:00, michael isikoff will collins have got a big story. pay attention to it. they are trying to wrap it up. put on your seat belt, there's going to be some turbulence before it's landed but the plane will stay safely land and everyone will move on. >> greg: they are never going to move on. >> dana: then they can sit behind on the tarmac.

>> greg: they can take the bus bus. >> jesse: the tarmac. maybe bill will be there with loretta. caravan migrants breaching the border, hear what he is saying up next. it's a feeling that's hard to describe... ♪ ...and even harder to forget. ♪ the united states virgin islands.

>> juan: the crisis of the border apparently getting worse. dozens of migrants in tijuana over a 10-foot funds took offense after apparently getting frustrated with the process. this video shows migrant parents dropping children over an 18-foot high barrier. president trump calling the democrats to fund the wall while claiming illegal immigration because the country to under $50 billion a year. now, everyone is saying that's not true, about the 250 billion but let's leave it alone. what you make, lease outcome of

the idea that we could in fact have some kind of delay funding bill that it would delay the potential for closing on the government right now. >> lisa: if you are president trump, now is the time to try to push for border funding are some changes to our immigration laws. he certainly not going to get it next congress when democrats take over. i think he is sort of leveraging the opportunity now. i don't know if he's going to get it or not, but i think when you are seeing people break the law and illegally enter the united states like we are seeing now and also what we saw most recently with almost 1,000 people trying to rush the southern border, sure makes president trump's .4 needing to boost border security along the southern border. we also have that study saying that the numbers are probably closer to 22 million illegal immigrants living in the united states. we already can't solve the problem with all these people living here illegally, why would we want to continue to exacerbate the problem, which i think this makes the point for the wall. >> juan: dana, what do you think about the democrats'

position that they are not going to give the president even what chuck schumer, the senate minority leader is offering, which is 1.5. you see the democrats especially, no surprise that this people from texas, they are saying no, we gave money last year and someone from new york said it's a waste, the wall. >> dana: i think the funding discussion is, as you described it earlier, whistling past the graveyard. look at these images. you look at what's happening in tijuana, the elected officials saying we're going to need some help here. this is a bigger story than just the wall funding. i don't think the government will shut down, and besides the republican congress working with the white house was able to get so much done on the spending front until now. a lot of those spending bills are already done. it only affects about 25% of the government if it does happen. i don't think it will come to that. i think the resident will end up having to compromise, but talk about whistling past the graveyard. democrats don't realize images like this theory into the minds

of people. do you think children being drop that far. it's not ending well for the caravan participants. i don't know what we want to call them. the caravan-ers. they are putting children lives in danger. i understand they care about their kids and they want to get something done but the american people are not going to stand for it and democrats better figure out a way to get past their far left and come to the table with president trump on it, or else they're going to find more losses in 2020. >> juan: the president said this issue is a total political winner and he's willing to stand against the democrats even in the face of all the controversy about separating children from parents, tear gassing children and adults and their parents. what do you make of it? do you think it's a political winner for republicans? >> jesse: yes, i do. it does have a risk of becoming like his gitmo.

obama for eight years says i'm going to close on gitmo and eight years later, he never closed it. you to a certain point where you have to see visually and well being constructed or else you realize this thing is not happening. i want to do something with you, juan. >> greg: oh, my god, no. >> juan: is this like you touching greg? >> lisa: we are on live television. >> jesse: no touching. i have three questions. follow along logically. i believe at the end of the questions, you will want a wall. ready? do you believe in borders? >> juan: yes. >> jesse: good, good. do you believe currently the border is secure? >> juan: yes. >> jesse: no, wrong! you just showed visuals of people dropping babies over the wall, people shimmying through the holes in the wall. if you have half a million people coming through every year, that means the border is not secure. >> juan: first of all, the number of people coming across

the border is way down. but if you think people jumping -- does that mean we need a wall? >> jesse: if someone is toddling under your house, do you think your house is secure? >> juan: no. but a wall is not going to do it. >> jesse: you are failing the basic logic. the answer the question, are the borders secure, everyone sees people dropping kids. >> juan: that's dangerous. that's not a wall. >> jesse: the answer is no. final question, do you believe walls enhance security? >> juan: no. >> jesse: juan, you have to use logic here. let me give you an example of why you're wrong. just one. a lot of that legal immigration was coming through for many, many years in the tucson sector. what do they do in tucson, they built of the fence and now it's funneled all the people to the rio grande valley in texas. can't you build a border wall they are and then funneled the crossings to a place where the border patrol can safely

apprehend them? >> juan: just like they moved from one spot, they moved to another spot. keep in mind that's not the source of most illegal immigration in the country. most of it is people overstaying visas. >> jesse: juan wants a wall. >> juan: i agree with you, jesse. >> jesse: thank you. that's all i wanted to hear. >> juan: i agree that it's a crazy conversation in america. >> greg: it is, we were talking in the b block how the media was suffering from a collective drug trip in which they were seeing and hallucinating things. this is actually the opposite. when you see things happening and they are denying it, they are denying with their eyes see, remember when joe scarborough, a.k.a. mr. bozo face, was comparing the caravan, the migrants coming to martians in his backyard. apparently he has martians. the martians have landed. and then you have this other weird part where the media is blaming donald trump for the caravan, thousands of people coming.

only the left could hear trump say you better not come in here he's telling them to come! he was telling them don't come. it's not going to end well. so obviously it's his fault, he's encouraging them to come. no, it was manufactured. it was a manufactured march created by activist groups in the media. >> juan: i think they were people in desperate straits in central america. >> greg: there is desperate straits everywhere. >> dana: juan, you never let anyone have the last word. i don't want the last word. i want you to tease so i can do my segment. >> juan: the wall is talking back. up next,... >> a man who will be the next president of the united states. >> juan: moments like these. michael avenatti's big announcement about 2020 right here on the five. over 100 years,

what are you looking for. are you looking for experience et cetera? what a lot of them said as they want somebody younger, someone from the younger generation. you think that will emerge? >> jesse: it has to. everyone is younger than joe biden, so i don't think it's really an issue. >> greg: wait, not bernie. >> jesse: that's true. i stand corrected. everybody looks old. i think the issue is he only has one card to play. he's a longtime washington politician that has a lot of experience in washington. he can't change that, so he has to say i'm experienced. he has to say i know what i'm doing, and he's going to sam going to come back to washington, restored dignity of the white house, restore order and normalcy and repair the institutions that donald trump has destroyed. >> juan: wait a second. i thought you were a trump supporter. >> jesse: i am saying that that's his pitch. he is saying i admitting i am a

gaff machine. what do they say, a gaff in washington is when a politician tells the truth. he says i'm so honest, i make a lot of gaffes. he has a terrible voting record, terrible instincts. he has no charisma, can't raise a lot of money. that's not really his problem. >> dana: juan, i wanted to ask if joe biden says he's the most qualified and he's going to go out there, there's a big part of the party that's move very far left and joe biden would have to explain to them why he was on the other side of all those issues for the last 30 years. >> juan: the interesting thing is that joe biden clearly in this poll, harvard harris, published in the hill. second place was bernie sanders. i think what they are looking for is almost in the model, dan dana, this might appeal like george w. bush. someone with experience, knows

washington, knows how the game is played. i differ with my colleagues. i think biden and sanders, they would love to trade punches. >> greg: it's like the two old guys from the muppets. >> juan: what is donald trump then? steve are talking about energy. >> juan: then you get mike bloomberg. everyone's going to have issues. ronald reagan's favorite saying when he was debating against, who was he debating, mondale? he says i'm not going to use my opponent's youth and inexperience against him. these folks who are older might have great appeal. >> dana: i am not being ageist. i want to mentioned and lisa i will get your comments and i know greg wants to weigh in. michael avenatti, the creepy you know what lawyer, announcing today that he's not going to run in 2020. the democrats probably getting a pass on that one. >> lisa: i think they are all probably saying thank god. regarding joe biden, i think he would actually give

president trump a run for his money in a general election, particularly in blue-collar areas that president trump did so well. the problem for joe biden is i don't think he can get there because democrats are going to have a really crowded primary field, just like republicans did. the reason why president trump was able to make his way through the crowded primary field was because he was so vastly different than the other candidates. joe biden isn't that different then maybe 30 something candidates that are going to run. i think we may end up seeing someone that breaks through the democratic primary field that we are not talking about right now. that isn't even on the radar. >> dana: greg, tell me what you think about avenatti. >> greg: he was accused of something and the accusation was alone enough to derail his future ambitions. it's appropriate justice given the fact that he spearheaded a movement to derail the career by weaponizing accusations untethered to evidence. that's how the world works.
