tv   The Five  FOX News  January 7, 2019 2:00pm-3:00pm PST

2:00 pm
they have been talking a lot of late. they once acrimonious relationship, or one that appeared to be, looks pretty cozy right now. we'll have more with "the five" now. ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino along with our new fox news contributor emily compagno, juan williams, and jesse watters. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." president trump taking his case for border security to the american people in week three of the shutdown stalemate. the president said to deliver his first prime time oval office address to myrna and what he's calling the "humanitarian and national security crisis" on the southern border. on thursday president trump is having to mcallen, texas, to survey the situation on the ground and meet with immigration officials with the president now saying he's willing to compromise on building a
2:01 pm
concrete wall and trump isn't ruling out declaring a national emergency of congress doesn't give him the necessary funding. >> they don't like concrete, so we will give them steel. steel is actually more expensive than concrete. but it will look beautiful and is very strong. it's actually stronger. we're looking at a national emergency because we have a national emergency. just read the papers. its national security. it's a national emergency. >> dana: democrat congressman jerry nadler says he doubts the president will be truthful in his address to the nation tomorrow night. >> the president has announced he's going to address the country tomorrow night on the so-called crisis the border. i expect the president to lie to the american people. why do i expect this? because he has been lying to the american people and his spokespeople continue to the american people. >> dana: senator lindsey graham slamming the "radical left" for refusing to negotiate with the g.o.p. >> as long as the radical left is in charge, were never going to get anywhere.
2:02 pm
if the president will compromise but he will not capitulate. that's where we are at. i'm not going to negotiate with somebody who calls the border patrol agents a bunch of nazis when they are trying to defend the border against a mob. >> dana: i think we have to start with our newest fox news contributor, emily. congratulations. we are glad you are a contributor to fox news. we'll give you the first shot of about the president addressing the nation tomorrow night. >> emily: it's honored to be part of this family. thank you. >> jesse: you're welcome. >> emily: what's important for me is for viewers to understand what it would look like if the president ashley declared a national emergency and what trickles down from that. in the '70s, this act was passed, post-watergate and post-vietnam. the main thing you have to do a site a specific emergency provision, and emergency power that activates what he's asking for. there are hundreds of them. there are hundreds of provisions under this act, and he just has to specifically cite it and underneath that, he gets extra
2:03 pm
ordinary authority. he can take land. he can seize property, restrict travel et cetera. we are hearing already from the left and some of those comments, things like we are going to take us to court. it's separate. the only intelligible aspect is whether the specificity is tied together, right? the other thing people should understand is the specific provisions, there's monetary associations. if he went under the immigration act, it caps at 20 million. there is a ton more options. it an overview would be cobbling together the money in the funding and whether that's in articulate-able specificity. he needs to cite that that current resources are being stretched thin. they are not keeping up with it. representative jeffrey's comment about we don't want all the american people hostage any longer over this medieval wall.
2:04 pm
>> dana: i have it. let's listen to it. we will get you and jesse. do we have that montage? >> we need to reopen the government and stop holding the american people hostage simply because donald trump wants a medieval border wall. >> a fourth century concrete wall that you can't see through will be less effective. >> lets spend the citizens' money and a smart fashion, not with some fourth century basically pointless strategy. >> dana: the fourth century talking point has gone out. >> emily: he said it holds us hostage. we are already held hostage. we are held hostage throughout the entire nation right now with everything that's coming over the southern border and how it impacts all aspects of the criminal justice system. it's not just the drugs coming across or migrants seeking asylum. goes a much deeper than that. what's the currency of all the gangs riddling the cities? it's drugs. how are the sheriff's and the
2:05 pm
relationships between i.c.e., et cetera. it's multilayered. >> dana: it is indeed. what do you think about the fourth century comments? >> jesse: he's not using leeches. >> greg: yet. >> jesse: a lot of things are useful that have been used for very long time from medieval times. shackles, blades, men on horseback, prisons, shields. those things are useful because they work. >> greg: some of your favorite things. >> jesse: some other things in gutfeld's basement. the president likes to use the analogy of the wheel. it's effective, just like the walls are effective. i don't like how nadler is saying that the president is going to live tomorrow night. the president has told the truth on the caravan from the beginning. he said it was mostly men, not a bunch of women and children. the men were looking for money, not asylum.
2:06 pm
what happened when the caravan finally reached the southern border? uptake 300% and violence perpetrated against the border agents. if anything the president has compromised and moderated his position. if you look at he's offering out a hundred million dollars for humanitarian situation. he is saying that we want a steel fence. the steel fence has been voted on positively by democrats in the past. it's an environmentally friendly, water can trickle through it. it helps the u.s. steel industry as well. people can see through it so they have visibility on the other side. a lot of these things that the president is doing is trying to bring nancy pelosi to the negotiating table. if anything, nancy looks like the one stuck in the mud. >> dana: i think the democrats seem vulnerable on that point, they did vote for secure fencing in the past and does it matter if it is steel or concrete? >> juan: know, the whole thing is a manufactured political -- >> dana: from both sides? my question was they voted in
2:07 pm
the past for secure fencing. >> juan: in order for border security. unless the argument is that democrats don't care about border security, that is patently false. the whole thing is striking to me and that the only way to understand it is that trump is playing bass, tribal politics. most independents don't support it. most democrats don't support it. there is no national emergency. you can go back to the midterms. we were being invaded, remember? now it looks like there was no invasion. it was a bunch of desperate people. he says at the moment there are all these criminals coming over. if you watch fox news sunday yesterday, chris wallace dismantled sarah huckabee sanders on this point. there is no evidence, even from trump's own justice department, his own immigration services. he is doing this for some political reason, and it's not quite clear what it is except to me, to distract from his own problems with wall street, the failure to enact an asylum band, the problems he had with
2:08 pm
john bolton contradicting him. >> dana: there is plenty we can talk about. the president is going to address the nation tomorrow night. can he address all those things? >> greg: he should address the crux of the argument of the democrats when they are constantly sending walls are immoral. that's the whole point and that's kind of like what everybody is saying. it's horrible. it's immoral. what about the walls we already have? should we ask nancy pelosi about removing the walls that we already have on the border because there are walls on the border. this stance is so weak, you could blow it over with a sneez sneeze. juan keeps saying that it's appealing to the base. essentially that's what politics is. you are appealing to the people who voted for you, and he made a promise that he was going to build a wall. it might have put him in a corner, it might, but he has to actually address it because no one really interested in this
2:09 pm
way before. the fact is democrats agree with him on everything, it only reason why they won't do it is because it's him. it's a part -- it's a personal vendetta. president trump should talk about the wall and the personal vendetta. clearly the democrats were for this but they don't like me so i'm going to step out of it. i want somebody else to take charge of this. i will step out of the room. i don't want the credit. i will step out. you get the engineers involved, because you just heard schumer say it's not so much about the money now. it's the fact that they don't have a plan. well, that's a step. come up with a plan with the engineers. i ask the experts. >> jesse: you said that you wanted dr. phil to be that -- >> greg: dr. drew. >> juan: call him dr. frankenstein. if that's the case, if it's just about the way you posted, trump
2:10 pm
hatred, how come we had two years of the house and senate and trump and the white house, didn't get done. trump assessed the mexicans will pay for this wall. i don't see it. how about he says that while it's being built and there's no wall. he keeps lying and you keep buying it. >> greg: i'm not buying anything. i will say i do love a stalemate and i will tell you because i like slow government. i am like a slow cooker. i'm okay with this going on, and the thing is, and here's an interesting truth. what if you threw a government shutdown and nobody came. we say it's day 14 or its third week. >> jesse: i want to hike in the national parks tomorrow and i can't. and i really need a good hike. >> greg: you do. >> juan: how about 800,000 people who don't get paid in 40,000 contractors. those are real people. >> greg: of those are real people. you look at employment across the board, juan, it's been an
2:11 pm
amazing achievement across the board. >> juan: so we should punish these people? >> greg: there is something to the pluses and minuses. this this is a shutdown this happening after -- i hear you. >> jesse: and i say that juan doesn't get paid during the shutdown. can we agree on that? >> dana: congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez making tons of headlines and creating new controversy up next. >> tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ uh uh - i deliverberty the news around here. ♪ sources say liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. over to you, logo. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> greg: aoc was on "60 minutes" last night. must be all her great new ideas. >> people are going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes. once you get to the tippy top, you are ten million dollars, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70%. >> greg: the real story is the media's view of her. even with her old ideas, she gets on "60 minutes." the pass is called a future and you better love it. take aoc's delightful dancing
2:16 pm
video. the media created a fake stories of the conservative's attacked her. not really. the only stories written by the dance were about liberals using it to falsely smear the right. the press creates a shield around her and which any criticism must be due to sexism or bigotry when infected in their heads and not ours. real criticism about her actual beliefs which are retreads of horrible ideas from previous entries. socialism with a smile. fascism among friends, venezuela meets vegan. the sad news is we have proof of such utopian nightmares. so many young people don't care. socialism is a brand that happily reinvents itself with every naive generation. aoc's fans like to say she is living in our heads. in fact it's the policies that live in our heads. they should live there. we know so many people who have been brutalized by such idea.
2:17 pm
when you hear someone talk about socialism like it's a fun new way to pay down my college debt, you've got to screen. prepare to be called awful things for doing so. today pointing out the evil of the past makes you the vein of the present. jesse, do know that i love? the left suddenly wants to return to the 1950s. >> jesse: that's a great point. all of her ideas are out of the socialist playbook. i think she's talented on social media and she's got a big following but now she's a member of congress as a democrat and there are certain rules of democrat that you have to play by. she's just a freshman. he has changed -- he has to realize pinocchios over donald trump. she's getting fact-checked all the time by "the washington post." i am the only reason -- >> greg: he is complementing her. >> jesse: when "the washington post" fact checks her more than donald trump. republicans can use her as a
2:18 pm
wage issue against their own party and the leadership hates that. she is hotdogging nancy pelosi. a lot of people in leadership are things slow down a little bit. let's be honest. this reminds me of a rookie. great college career, now they got drafted, they entered the league and giving the opposing teams a lot of bulletin board material. a lot of the vets on the team don't really like her all that much, getting called for a lot of personal flow cracks -- personal fouls she's in page six a lot. she might burn out but she might have a long career. we don't really know yet. >> juan: she voted for nancy pelosi and then the republicans hissed at her because she is gold for republicans. they are making her the star. it's not democrats. it's republicans will love her.
2:19 pm
>> jesse: republicans didn't put her on "60 minutes." >> juan: i think they did. they gave her so much attention. >> jesse: she is wrong a lot of the time. >> juan: what is she wrong about? >> jesse: everything she is advocating about. universal health care. >> juan: social security? do you remember when that was radical? great society. terrible. what about raising tax rates? under president roosevelt -- >> jesse: if you want to throw in with the 70% tax rate, you can check that box on the return and voluntarily pay it. >> juan: if you make more than 10 million. you have no objection that under trump right now the deficit is blowing sky-high. >> jesse: he will never get 10 million if you have policies like that. >> greg: the rich paid out more than ever. top 1% pays 40%. in 1980, it was 19%. it's not affecting the debt. >> juan: why are you saying
2:20 pm
that? >> greg: we are totally indent. >> juan: the debt has been increasing radically. >> greg: that's my point. it doesn't matter how much you tax people. i have argued stop taxing people, it doesn't matter. we are spending attics. if you stop taxing our country for one year, $4 trillion? would we even care? we would save all of our money and we will be in debt but we don't care. >> juan: we live in anarchy, you would love that. >> greg: dana, one thing i've noticed, aoc comes in and because of the establishment democrats. you have whoopi goldberg on "the view," saying hold your horses, lady. there were a bunch of democrats before you. they worked there -- their butts off >> dana: democrats in deep blue districts were say.
2:21 pm
hillary clinton didn't win because not enough democrats wanted her to come out and win. i knew that nancy pelosi at some point would be eclipsed by this younger generation. i just didn't know it will happen in three days. that's pretty interesting. aoc beat one of pelosi's most ardent allies in congress. she owes pelosi nothing. i do think jesse makes a great point. >> jesse: let that sink in. >> greg: everybody went quiet. >> dana: even i did. [laughter] >> greg: it came out of your mouth. >> dana: the more she talks about her ideas, that you could retrofit all of america within ten years with renewable energy. policy wise, you have to go that's not possible. why not just say it? >> greg: every day she has a "build the wall" comment.
2:22 pm
i think the upside is when she's talking about socialism in sweden nor she's talking about 70% rate, it reminds other people to read up on it and read find out the truth. >> emily: in sweden, it's a violent reality. sweden is going down in flames. they are a parallel society. violent crimes have risen by 40%. >> juan: if i bog greg, it's a 100% jump in crime. >> emily: the use of a formerly homogenous society in a tiny country is not accurate. it's not applicable. for he aoc, her time to be popular is over. now it's her time to get to work. like everyone, we could benefit from specificity and accuracy in congress. it would help further hurt because of the people that could -- even if she isn't owed anything by anyone or she doesn't owe,
2:23 pm
there's a certain amount of all mosh she should pay by being specific and accurate and not -- >> dana: everyone wants to have a beer with her, that's one thing she has going for her. >> greg: elizabeth warren with a new spin on her disastrous dna test and joe biden. i've always been amazed by what's next. and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis.
2:24 pm
eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden sign of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you.

>> i am not a person of color. i'm not a citizen of a tribe. tribal citizenship is very different from ancestry. tribes and only tribes determine tribal citizenship, and i respect that. >> juan: i am a guy who loves a joke, especially the start of the year. i thought let me start with greg and pocahontas. how can that loose? >> greg: the funny thing is is she's trying to reduce her fib with a little bit of a diversion. she is, she is sort of talking about how -- saying i realize that ancestry is different from a tribe. that's not what she's guilty of. she used native american claims to gain an edge over other people in teaching positions at harvard. she notified them and put it in the directory and comically she used her cherokee background for a cookbook and which may be she

lifted those recipes from "the new york times." powwow chow. did we talk about biden? biden endorsed himself by saying he doesn't see anybody better and it reminded me of when i go into a really weird bar and ordered chicken fingers. how can they ruin chicken fingers? he is saying i am the least bad meal in this restaurant. he barely endorse himself. >> dana: it doesn't really excitement. >> greg: vote for me. i am the least worst thing on the menu. >> juan: it sounds trumpian. >> greg: trump said he was better than everyone else and what does he have to lose? >> juan: cnn, the morning register, for the second time they say biden is the top -- >> dana: these polls right now are only about name i.d. she got what she wanted. she wanted to be first to she could get some headlines. the problem is she's grounding the rationale for her candidacy
2:30 pm
in her personal story. it goes back to her hardscrabble roots in oklahoma which inevitably it's not that that media asked her questions about her ancestry. that was from a member of the audience, somebody from iowa who really wanted to know. i don't know if she can shake it in terms of getting that story off of her tail. [laughs] i don't know. >> greg: shake it off her tail? >> dana: i have jet lag. that's my only excuse. >> jesse: i'm going to try that one. >> dana: i'm going to give it to jesse. >> juan: i have an interesting one. what if trump is not the republican nominee. what if it's someone like let's say mitt romney or jeff flake. what are the democrats to do? >> dana: what? right now? >> juan: i'm asking. you never know what happens. >> jesse: i don't see that. i think trump is going to get the nomination. i think biden knows he can't win
2:31 pm
and he has been hemming and hawing and donors like -- donors don't like him that much. he knows it's going to devolve into an insult fest if he gets into it with donald trump. he's never had a natural base and politics. that's why trump called him 1% show. i wouldn't call her pocahontas. i would call her elizabeth warren. but we did the dna test. i am more black than she is native american. >> greg: i am more native american than she is in my last name is gutfeld. >> jesse: it would be like if i wrote a soul food cookbook and said "jesse watters black person." that's what she did. she wrote powwow chow. can you imagine the hell i would catch if i did that? >> juan: you would get it

all these people whose voices now recently have become louder. people are saying give me a seat at the table too. i think there is a certain hubris associated and he rubs me the wrong way. >> greg: he rubs a lot of people. >> emily: the most unrelatable person in that video. >> juan: did he rub any details the wrong way? we will see. >> greg: he probably did. >> juan: coverage of the president not negative enough? what a "new york times" writer is arguing, next. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring.

>> jesse: beethoven's fifth for you keeping score at home. we are little more refined on "the five." a "new york times" columnist defending the media's overwhelming negative coverage of president trump and says the press should be even tougher. >> the idea that this coverage
2:38 pm
is too negative, where's the truth? >> i disagree wholeheartedly. he's a singular president. he was a singular candidate. no one has lied like him. anti-trump connotes some kind of animus for the fact. i think we've been negative and that's the only honest way to cover the president. >> jesse: this comes as the president ramps up his attacks on the media, blasting them on twitter as "crazed lunatics." i don't have a problem with media covering the president negatively. it's fine. but they should also point out when there are positive achievements coming out of the white house. >> emily: i agree with you 100% except that i will say for the defense of the coverage to say we are going to be consistently negatively covering the president because that's all he deserves, what do we deserve? what do the people deserve? cover the office. cover the executive branch. cover the legislature. give us more specificity so it's not just jumping on the president. let's honor the office a little
2:39 pm
bit more because that trickles down too. we saw the coverage consistently for the last few years has been 90% negative and 37% dedicated to policy and 63% scandal. i feel like there's a lot of comments out there with fox news coverage and we are hearing -- he said a mocking and sneering tone not just of opinion but the actual coverage. the spectrum goes both ways. >> jesse: juan, don't you think of this were a democrat president and the isis caliphate have been destroyed and wage growth was up and we reach 3% gdp growth this year and nafta have been renegotiated after been promised to be renegotiated for two decades, don't you think the coverage would be a little more positive? >> juan: no. if a democrat lied as much is this guy? >> jesse: i am saying if he had accomplished as much is this guy. >> juan: you talk about nafta. there's no change, whatever they call it. u.s., mexico.
2:40 pm
there's basically no change. you say isis destroyed. even now the president and bolton are saying not quite. we're going to have to protect the kurds. i don't know how a legitimate reporter is supposed to get away from being attacked as being too negative when you are just saying this is what's going on in america. mitt romney said the same thing last week. >> jesse: juan thinks the coverage is fair, dana. >> dana: as i was watching over the weekend, it reminded me of the media that was self flagellating after the invasion of iraq, saying we should have vetted it more. we should have been more careful. during the campaign, all the media was giving president trump a lot of attention. it wasn't all negative. ask hillary clinton. she would say "the new york times" in particular on the clinton global initiative, her emails, she was very frustrated with them. the other thing is the media is
2:41 pm
the only industry that grades itself. it's a constant self grading. every other industry, the media is looking at you. facebook and silicon valley is under pressure. pharmaceuticals, oil companies under pressure. the media are not under pressure from anyone else. >> jesse: accept trump. he's the only one who pushes back. >> dana: this is the first time they've had to really do that. >> jesse: and they are sensitive. that's why they have to justify the coverage. >> greg: i think they were upset about the news that jill abramson got. he admitted that dumping on trump's big business and business is booming. i use the restaurant metaphor. all media right now, everyone of us as a restaurant and we are all serving trump burgers because he can't serve it enough. whether you love trump, you will sit and listen. if you hate drum, you will sit and listen. he was hypersensitive. there's a leftist principle behind his statement and that is if i believe you are immoral, if
2:42 pm
i believe donald trump is immoral and his followers or supporters are immoral, then i don't have to play fair. i don't have to be an objective journalist anymore. i don't have to be objective in my headlines or on the front page. opinion journalism can infect every area which is really convenient for them. the rights, we think you are wrong. juan, we think you are wrong but we will debate and engage. but the left thinks you're evil so they don't have to. it's incredible convenient for them to justify what he just said which is that our biases are moral so we can say whatever you want about trump. the fact is, those biases existed before trump. they hate everybody outside of new york. outside of the cities. what you like, they hate them because you like trump, they hate you. the contrast between how the media is portraying trump versus when you talk to someone on the street about trump. you have low unemployment records. men, women, minorities, and teens.

i guess we have to see what comes of it. what is so interesting to me about this case is that he went, emily, on video. he did this video were he pretends to be the character out of "house of cards." the video is called "let me be frank." saying it was only so simple. everyone wants me to be guilty. people are assuming this and that in the whole story hasn't come out. to be fair to him, let the story come out. wow, what you just said is telling. it's not only in the u.s. this case in massachusetts. you also have people in london where he was the artistic director at a theater they are saying that over a span of 20 years, he was guilty of such behavior. these allegations now touched so many parts of his life and career that he's been -- not only was he canceled out of "house of cards," but he lost the opportunity to be in a biopic about gore vidal. he's lost other opportunities. we'll see what comes of it. i am stunned that he's only the second man to be criminally

charged and all we have heard from the juan movement. >> emily: the same day he released the video was the day that the d.a. announced the charges in nantucket. what did you make of his demeanor? >> jesse: he seemed cocky and detached. he looks like a guy who knows he's going to beat the rap. most rich guys do, hollywood stars. we have learned a few things from the #metoo movement. men in positions of power can abuse their authority and industries can protect them in order to protect the bottom line. also he's innocent until he's proven guilty. you've got to follow the facts. in this case, it's going to be adjudicated in the courtroom, not the court of public opinion. that's a good thing. usually in cases like this, you need eyewitness testimony. you need some sort of video surveillance. we are hearing there is a thursday snapchat video involved of him using his hands to touch

someone. traditionally guys like this will skate on a situation like this. follow the case and i will decide afterwards. >> emily: dana, we heard today in court that there are attorneys asking to preserve the cell phone records. do we think it's already setting up for basically a victim shinning approach? >> dana: perhaps. i talked to a friend from bosto boston. the presence on the case means there's a lot of headlines. part of the boston clergy defense. he gets a lot of media. it will be part of it. this is also the first time a high-profile gay celebrity has been targeted in the #metoo movement. obviously i don't know. the frank underwood video, i feel like it's all part of a p.r. strategy and perhaps something his lawyer suggested that he do. >> greg: i don't think anybody
2:51 pm
suggested him to do that. obviously this is the hard thing about this topic because we don't know. it's the first day. we have no information. i don't think you will be found guilty on this precisely because of that bizarre video, he's acting like someone who's not guilty. the way he acted in that courtroom is he knows. there is something else going on there and when the lawyer asked about the email stuff, it leads me to believe there's some kind of correspondence going on there that may exonerate him. again, i don't know. i think a person can be guilty of many things, which probably is. but also be a victim of scapegoating when the system itself was aware and implicitly condoned his behavior, the behavior of many men for 100 years. let's say hollywood has been around for 100 years. they allow this behavior to take place.

now in the #metoo era, you must sacrifice the most well known offenders to this funeral pyre or whatever it is. the -- what i am saying is i think right now he could be innocent of this but be guilty of other things. >> emily: "one more thing" is up next. every day, visionaries are creating the future. so, every day, we put our latest technology and vast expertise to work.
