fifth straight session that we've been up, that hasn't happened since last october. markets thinking things will resolve themselves. that's what they are venting their money on. how about you? "the five" is next. >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino with jedediah bila, juan williams, greg gutfeld and jesse watters. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." fox news alert. president trump in texas today for a firsthand look at what he calls the humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. two days after a major oval office address and in day 20 of the government shutdown which remains at a stalemate. before he left, the president vowed not to cave on his desired border all with mexico instead he has the absolute right to declare emergency if he can't ra deal with the democrats. >> i have the absolute right to

declare a national emergency. i haven't done it yet. i may do it. if this doesn't work out, probably i will do it. i would almost say definitely. if we declare a national emergency, we have a tremendous amount. >> dana: while on the ground in mcallen, texas, the president doubled down on his claim that mexico will be playing for the -- paying for the wall. >> do you think they're going to write a check? no. they are paying for the wall and a great trade deal. billions and billions of dollars a year will be made now as opposed to nafta which was a disaster. >> dana: trump let a border patrol agent explained the need for a wall. >> yesterday we are printed 133 people from countries other than central america and mexico. that includes india, pakistan,

china, romania, neck aragua. on and on. i know we keep talking about the family unit. that makes up about typically about 60, 70%. we've seen a change without number is less then 50% of the apprehensions we make in south texas. we have 55 miles in the sector. we started the job in 2006. we need to finish the job. we need the technology and resources. we need the infrastructure in order to control this border. >> dana: greg, let me start with you. border patrol agent, you've been recommending this. let the border patrol agents speak. they know what's going on. >> greg: is not just the agents. it's also engineers. this kind of conversation requires a lot of nuance. unfortunately when you inject politics into anything, the first thing that disappears is

nuance and compromise. politics is the carbon monoxide of thinking. it's odorless, colorless and when it enters the room, all ideas die. what they do, nuance and compromise drives me crazy. it's replaced with the prison of two ideas. even though chuck agrees with donald trump and has agreed with him, he has to go to his respective prison. he has to go to that other person's health. he can't come out. even though he agrees with donald trump. so everybody has to choose their side and they have to live in their own prisons and every day this goes on and creates more and more libertarians or people who are so disgusted by politics, they are forced to talk to their family instead which is good. the real winner at the border visit, ted cruz's beard. he went from ted cruz to cruise missile. i look at that and go i'm not messing with that guy. if he had grown that bearden 2015, he might be president or

vice president. >> jesse: we don't need the wall. we just haven't ted cruz standing there. in the jacket, just scare them away. >> dana: have you ever thought about growing a beard? >> i have tried. i grow beard but it stops around the chain. i have like martin mutton chop. is that what they are called? then i get food in it which is great. >> jesse: this is two weeks i haven't shaved. i am a baby. >> juan: i can grow beard. i had a beard over vacation. i was worried about those terrorists crossing the border when i saw the guy standing behind the president and then i realized it was ted cruz trying to make up for not a border wall but the absence of a chin. >> dana: oh, juan. >> juan: what did you say, cruise missile? "the five" let me ask you about this. there was an article this morning that a couple democratic freshman who just won, democrats

would be republicans in close races but they beat them fair and square. now they are starting to say we are for border security and this is not necessarily good that we are going to be in a position of not being able to build any coalitions or get anything done if this is our first attempt out of the gate. do you think there cracks in the democratic opposition to getting the money for the wall? >> jesse: i think the cracks are coming from the folks burning up the phone lines. that's what politicians respond to, letters and phone calls. if you start calling and clogging of the phone lines, they think their constituents are angry and they want border security and they will respond. that's the best part of democracy. pick up the phone and tell these guys what to do. they work for the people, not the other way around. you can see the needle moving a little bit. i honestly think this is the first time trump has used the traditional presidential squeeze play on an issue. you do the oval office address. you do the photo off with the

white hat. you do the social media, asked people to call their congressman. maybe have a couple rallies or something like that. take a trip to the border and then you threaten something in right now it could be working. with the democrats are trying to do is they are trying to prolong this so paychecks are paid, one week, that flicks new pain into the conversation. that may affect the dynamic a little bit. if they can time the paycheck miss a couple more weeks, even time it with the mueller report. can you imagine that double whammy right there? >> dana: yeah, i don't -- i still think -- >> jesse: you said he was wrapping up. >> dana: what, who was wrapping up? >> jesse: mueller. >> dana: i keep saying that. this is my theory. no one has told me this. i think the president, jedediah, tomorrow is going to usurp the democrats that he will declare this national emergency and be able to say i end of the

shutdown. democrats wouldn't do it. i have the authority to do this national emergency. there is controversy around it but that he will be able to say i'm ending the shutdown. i approved the need for the border fence. >> jedidiah: then he will get credit for ending the shutdown but you will have everyone coming after him. oh, you acted unilaterally. you don't care about congress. you didn't do this the right way. i really think it would be a mistake for him to declare a national emergency, even though i do think he has the authority to do it in this case. >> dana: don't you think he's marching his way up? >> jedidiah: absolutely. he keeps saying i am within my right to do it and if democrats don't help, going to have to do it. but to answer a question before, i think a lot of democrats are coming forward and saying to people, other democrats, this is one-tenth of 1% of the budget we are talking about. do you really want to be on record as not wanting to give $5.6 billion for the border when we are asking for a $27 billion in foreign aid?

this is not a good position to be in. it's a fraction. these are the very democrats who have been on record, as we said, coming forth in favor border security. when you look at the polling around the country, people care about this issue. they want the border secure. they may not want the wall because it's tied with president trump and now they associate it with him but they want border security. i think democrats have to be careful about this and frankly if they're held responsible for the shutdown, i think it's going to be a big -- >> dana: democrats are not being held responsible. >> juan: the polls are pretty clear. the "washington examiner" today said it looks like the republicans have taken themselves hostage and they are trying to do things like you know you can get your tax refunds, food stamps delayed. they are trying to ameliorate the damage that comes from a 20 day shutdown. the difficulty for republicans, especially in states like colorado, cory gardner.

or even lisa murkowski in alaska, either with hispanic population significant or a lot of federal workers, they feel this is going to hurt them with voters. they are starting to hear from their constituents this isn't such a great deal. to go to a jedediah was talking about, i think the news of today was that he didn't declare the national emergency. i think part of that is republicans, maybe i shouldn't say republicans. i should say conservatives. remember how strongly conservatives criticized presidents in the past for acting in a tyrannical or despotic way and saying i am going around congress. never once in american history has an emergency been declared when the president could not get funding for an issue through the congress of the united states and went around the congress. that's not in keeping with our constitution. i think a lot of conservatives have real problems with this. >> jesse: i thought the news of the day was that there were people from 140 different

countries or 40 different countries besides central america that were trying to cross the border that they apprehended. it's like a united nations migration into the united states of america and the border patrol said pakistan, india, romania. people from romania, juan. they are coming. you can't call the president racist. >> juan: checked the airports if you really want to see people from all over which is the primary source of illegal immigration. let's actually have a conversation. one last thing before we go -- >> greg: the harmful effect. >> juan: no terrorist -- no terrorist has ever crossed seven border. >> greg: you sound like a rich californian, juan. >> jedediah: one and three women get sexually assaulted. [all speaking] >> juan: here's the real issue. politico is reported that republicans in the senate went to the president and said let's make a deal to reopen the government and then let's talk

about upgrading border security. democrats said okay. the president said -- >> jedediah: you're never going to get the border security. how many ronald reagan mistakes do you have to make when you go to democrats and you say we'll do this. okay, you cave in that you never get your end of the deal. >> juan: democrats care about border security. >> greg: they don't act like it. >> dana: we have so much more show to get to so i've got to tease. >> greg: it sounded like something else you're going to say. >> dana: i don't know what it was. i don't get the joke but i will get it in the commercial break. reporters and their coverage of yesterday's meeting with democrats. we will hear that max. great news, liberty mutual customizes- uh uh - i deliver the news around here. ♪ sources say liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

♪ >> jesse: president trump has been on a terror against the media over the past 24 hours, labeling them the opposition party after the coverage of yesterday's meeting with democrats. it all started with a late-night winter storm. "the mainstream media has never been more dishonest than it is now. nbc and msnbc are going crazy. they report stories, purposely, the exact opposite of the facts. they are truly the opposition

party working with the dems. may even be worse than fake news cnn, if that is possible!" then as he's leaving for the border, trump said this: >> the media which i call the opposition party, a lot of the media, in coordination with the democrats, they are not talking about the democrats. you walked out on the democrats, are you going to bring them back? how can you get a deal if you're not talking? >> i didn't pound the table. i didn't raise my voice. that was a lie. i said if you're not going to give a strong borders, bye-bye and i left. i didn't rant and rave like you reported. i very calmly walked out of the room. i didn't smash the table. i should have but i didn't smash the table. >> jesse: while the media continues to try to trap trump in a lie, cnn's jim acosta

botched this attempt to take down the president. >> here are some of the steel slabs the president has been talking about right here. as you can see, yes, you can see through the slats to the other side of the u.s.-mexico border. as were rocking along here, were not seeing any kind of imminent danger. there are no migrants trying to rush toward the fence here in the mcallen, texas, area. as a matter of fact, there are some other businesses behind me along this highway. there is a gas station, burger king, and so on but no sign of the national emergency that the president has been talking about. as a matter of fact, it's pretty tranquil down here. >> jesse: pretty tranquil because walls work, jim. i think you just made the president's point for him. >> greg: that was paid for by the donald trump 2020 reelection campaign. he is in a spot at a wall. see, there is no problem here. [laughter] he may be dumber than we initially thought which says a lot or i think it could be a really long prank. like andy kaufman, when andy

kaufman pretended to be a character all the way until his death. i think he's playing this role and by the way, it's amazing. the media has no credibility on this issue because just weeks ago, they called this a humanitarian crisis, right? there were people rushing the border, caravans, people dying. suffering. when donald trump agrees and says it's humanitarian crisis, they turn into this mocking tone, what crisis? there is no crisis here. look at this wall. they are the biggest hypocrites. it's hard not to -- it's hard to like them. it's easy to despise them. >> jedediah: the problem is how obama called it a humanitarian crisis. trump tweeted out. the media is on record so many times as having defended him and defended chuck schumer and democrats that voted for border security that now they are panicked about how they conflicted -- can flip it to hate trump for espousing the very same things that the

democrats did that the media back them up on. >> juan: i don't get it at all all. >> jesse: the media, all of them gathered down there to look at the photo op and you have the border patrol and they make an announcement that 90% of the traffic comes in this sector where there is no barrier. only 6% of the traffic comes where there is a barrier. since the media would take an expert opinion like this and maybe write it down in one of their news stories and show hate, the experts on the ground say walls work. >> juan: no, that's how you distort numbers. >> jesse: juan, i didn't distort the numbers. >> juan: here's the reality. there's not a wall across most of the border. >> jesse: i understand that. very specific sectors, it really slows down traffic. >> juan: let me say the media went down there. the president himself and i think a lot of the anger at the media came from the session with

anchors that was supposed to be off the record. "new york times" reports the president said he didn't want to give this speech on tuesday night. he didn't want to go to the border, didn't see the purpose. and then the people behind him, sarah huckabee sanders, bill shine, kellyanne conway, these people think it's a good idea. apparently he didn't. here's the reality, you have a situation now. >> jesse: they violated the off the record -- >> juan: i thought it was the most transparent president ever. have it on the record. >> greg: you certainly mind reading after you know what he's thinking. >> juan: all right, so then he retweets. he doesn't retweet the meeting. he retweets dan bongino, charlie kurtz. he's in the conservative echo chamber. >> jesse: trump is active on social media. thank you, juan. dana, you have off the record things and then you go down there for this opportunity to showcase the border. the media is following along.

do you think it's going to make any impact with the press whatsoever? >> dana: the thing about the off the record being violated, i don't think it was that egregious. i would not like it if that happened to me but i also would not be surprised if there weren't other people calling maggie haberman and telling her that exact same thing. this is what happens. the white house will say that's not true and then three months later you found it's exactly what happened. the fact that the media, how did we find out today that the democrats have cracked their coalition? i read it in a politico he's because reporters are out there doing their jobs. it's not all fake news. some of the reporting is actually pretty good. the other thing that bothered me is the other day on the daily, "the new york times" podcast, they turn this crisis thing, the headline was it's a crisis of his own making. because they said he'd change the asylum rules and how you apply for asylum, that's why all

these people flooded the border. if you go back, as jedediah was saying in the obama administration, that was a humanitarian crisis. they didn't say that was obama's own making. it's a frustrating thing because there is clearly a bias they are or unwillingness to look back into a fair comparison. >> jedediah: also the mexican drug cartels and the drug trafficking and what's going on in mexico is not part -- that's not trump's fault. he needs to broaden the discussion. people don't like the term wall. he needs to talk about barriers but he also needs to talk about going after these cartels. he needs to talk about problems he has with the state department that want diplomacy all the time and doesn't prioritize going after cartels. he needs to talk about the humanitarian crisis that democrats have been making that case for years and the media backed them up. that needs to be the priority, not just the fence. >> jesse: all right, just how far the left is the democrat party going? we will examine some of their

most outrageous proposals up next. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moderate to severe

♪ >> juan: is the democratic party moving at a more progressive direction? some possible 2020 contenders are toying with liberal friendly policies like the green new deal. that package aims to eliminate much of the u.s. fossil fuel consumption. at least eight potential democrat candidates have voiced support for it or touted aspects of the proposal. meanwhile, new york city mayor bill de blasio set to embark on a cross-country tour. he wants to explain his progressive vision after announcing plans to launch guaranteed health care for all residents of new york city, including illegal immigrants. >> i will deftly be going around the country talking about ideas like paid personal time. it's an idea that i think is

needed across a small country now. this is a national crisis. i'm going to go all over the country and talk about that. >> juan: remember, all of this is coming on the heels of california governor gavin newsom announcing he wants health care for all californians. jesse, do you see the democratic party sort of going too far to the left? i noted that there is a new poll that indicates now that half of all democrats say they are liberals, which is a historic high. >> jesse: selfishly i'm going to agree with mayor de blasio. i think paid personal time is a great idea. two weeks paid for personal time. i think i might change parties. wow. it will wreck the economy. if you can do that but personally i think it's a great idea. i think what's happening is the democratic party is shifting left from the ground up. it starts in these little laboratories in the cities, san francisco and new york city. you get these radical mayors that have no resistance.

they are the resistance but there is no one resisting them in these locales. they are just kind of pushing and pushing and pushing on no one is pushing back. used to have rudy or you'd have some conservatives out west. doesn't exist any longer. they are just going to go as far as they can possibly go than the people that are running for president are then going to listen to them because that's where the bases and they are going to say you know what, that sounds great. that's why you see ocasio-cortez say raise taxes to 70% and then all these other people are agreeing with her that her running for president. mainstreaming radicalism. >> juan: marginal tax rates for people who make more than $10 million. >> jesse: well, i would like to get there someday and i don't want to pay 70%. >> juan: dana, you have a situation where people say we have increased income inequality in america. we have a health care crisis in america. what you see is the democrats responding to the realities of our time. do you buy that? >> dana: i think if younger

people in america say that they believe socialism is better than capitalism, that we have to take that very seriously. it's not a passing fad. they talk about it amongst themselves. they are learning about in school. one day, they will be running for office. it's like every generation have to relearn this lesson. today "the wall street journal," jesse, there was an op-ed about how sweden saved itself and socialism, that their idea of what's happening in sweden is not true. they have deregulated transportation. they have competition for the post office. >> jesse: they have privatized social security and they have cut taxes as well. >> dana: on the flip side, it's interesting to watch somebody liked it gavin newsom s week announced mayor de blasio in the same week democrats, talking about the number one issue from the left and that's health care. while everybody in washington is talking about $5 billion for border fence. so i think they've got the right idea but i do feel for some of

the democrats, like for example congressman josh gottheimer of new jersey, moderate guy, problem solver. he has a bill to restore the salt production for all the people that live in the northeast in california so they can have those taxes back. he wants to cut taxes while the new progressive energy in the party is talking about raising taxes to 70%. there's a big disconnect bear and the moderates are going to have to speak with a much louder voice. >> juan: jedediah, when you hear these conversations about health care, income inequalities. we have been discussing. it also extends to energy efficiency and climate change and i know that's the devil for conservatives. >> jedediah: think about what they are saying. it was so ridiculous that when aoc did that interview with anderson cooper, who is not a right winger, are you saying everyone's going to be mandated to drive an electric car in ten years and she was like well, i know it's hard. it's absurd what's being proposed. you can have a conversation about climate change but what's being proposed now is making

barack obama now sound like a moderate. this is a crazy, crazy left-wing advocating for benefits for -- let's broaden benefits for illegal immigrants. let's create -- this green new deal would bankrupt the country, would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. energy sectors they are trying to promote aren't ready yet. it would skyrocket costs for the poorest of us the worst. yes, you can care about these issues but these things don't work. >> juan: greg, one of the questions is is this representative of the whole democratic party are just a left-wing fringe? when alexandria ocasio-cortez took this to congress, the leadership said no, were not going to establish a committee to look at this green energy proposal. >> dana: but they are. >> juan: , no, they didn't. >> greg: these are not new ideas and the party. the extreme left has always been there. he just grew more legs. you look at de blasio, when we

talk about humanitarian crisis, what creates that? incentives that have forced adults to risk the lives of their kids to come here when you're dangling free health care. you're actually creating death. there is a myth we are obsessing over these young democrats. no, actually there are people. i would call them survivors of socialist regimes who are obsessed with that idea never coming back. to them, socialism is a scores that ruined their lives. socialism being seen as a cure for any quality, it is simply by crushing everybody down into being equally poor. there is no opportunity under socialism. there is only a top down from the government up destruction. socialism is seen as santa claus but it's with claws. it will shred you. it will shred you. for some reason, to your point, it always seduces the next generation as though our memories are wiped clean. so hey, i just found out this new idea for paying down college

debt. it's called socialism. no, that will destroy you. but i just discovered it so it's real. then they point to the u.k. or sweden. what they are actually saying is you know how socialism works? if it's actually not socialism, if it's socialism ameliorated by capitalism. why don't you give up the socialism? it's toxic. >> juan: all right, fox news alert here. president trump's former lawyer and fixer michael cohen has agreed to testify before the house oversight and reform committee on february 7. that's one month before he reports to prison for campaign finance violations, tax evasion, and lying to congress about trump's past business dealings in russia. president trump offered his reaction while touring the border in mcallen, texas. >> michael cohen has agreed to testify before the house democrats next month. what do you think of that? >> i'm not worried about it at

all. >> juan: doesn't concern the president. up next, kevin hart issuing a strong rebuttal to those who say he needs to apologize even more for what he had to say about gays. here banks take on "the five" next i'm worried about my parents' retirement. don't worry. voya helps them to and through retirement... dealing with today's expenses... while helping plan, invest and protect for the future. so they'll be okay? i think they'll be fine. voya. helping you to and through retirement. because when you want to create an entirely new feeling, the difference between excellence and mastery, is all the difference in the world. introducing the all-new lexus es. a product of mastery. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. a product of mastery. essential for pine trees, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once-daily pill

>> really, really? >> no. >> you didn't apologize at first and then later you apologize. >> i'm over it. it's an onion. no matter how many times you keep peeling it, it's endless. >> it's not over until the audiences over it, not when i'm over it. do you have a sense the audience is over it? >> you can continue to live to please others or you can have a position when you know that you literally have done what you can to try to plead. >> greg: good for him. if there something we learned, while apologies matter, some people refuse them because to accept them kills the story in the fund that's found in persecution. that is colbert's concern. kevin, how dare you and the story without getting proper approval from myself or don lemon or the bob on twitter? hart stood his ground i hope he still does. we now live in a panicked state in which social media has made the mob the moral decision maker

isn't it curious from my perspective, i think it's the conservative mob that goes after and oftentimes belittles people. >> greg: oh, my dog. this began with the left and the even -- >> juan: colbert said he's done even worse than what hart has done. >> greg: have you seen his movies? >> dana: for colbert, i feel like he's a leader in the industry. he's a faithful person. why not practice that? offer him forgiveness. you're in a position of leadership to help somebody with a handout. what are you afraid of? give this guy a chance because he has apologized. i absolutely think kevin hart should be given the grace that all of us deserve in this situation. he has apologized. >> greg: nobody wants to share the risk, jesse. >> jesse: colbert lied when he said that the audience isn't

over kevin hart and they want to hear an apology. that's not true. 90% of this country, the people who watch, they want kevin hart to host the show. it's only a small, loud, annoying 10% that are overly influential because they are in the media and they create these types of controversies. the left mob is becoming what they used it to which was the right wing mob. the evangelical christian right in the 80s and 90s when something came on television, they would say no, that's inappropriate. let's boycott. that's bad. you can't do that. now they've become the ones of no fun, that's inappropriate. >> jedediah: i think he saw that alan took so much heat publicly that he decided i'm going to be the hero. she took all the heat. i'm going to go out and everybody's going to love me because i'm going to tell him that until we say you are allowed to stop talking about this, you've got to keep talking about it. it plays so badly and i think

kevin hart has played it well. i think he would've been a great host and i think everybody knows it. the fact of the guy apologized. he's talking about stuff he did a decade ago. he's cool about it. he said look, i'm done talking about it. it drives him crazy. crazy. >> greg: new study claims traditional masculinity is harmful. what could this mean for men? we will discuss it next. hey. i heard you're moving into a new apartment. yeah, it's pretty stressful. this music is supposed to relax me, though. ♪ maybe you'd mellow out a bit if you got geico to help you with your renters insurance. oh, geico helps with renters insurance? good to know. yeah, and they could save you a lot of money. wow, suddenly i feel so relieved. you guys are fired. get to know geico and see how much you could save on renters insurance.
