couple weeks ago. >> neil: you never know. thank you for the update. i do see some ice melting. i might be overstating it. a little bit, a little bit. "the five" is now. >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino with jedediah bila, juan williams, jesse watters and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." the kentucky high school who students are at the center of a video controversy is closed today due to safety concerns. local authorities are investigating threats made against some of the covington catholic high students after video show an encounter with a native american man in washington. a chaperone who was on the trip says students were targeted for wearing maga hats and described what happened. >> i think that was one of the

reasons they were targeted, and i think they were also targeted for what they stood for, which is christianity. the right for life. we were standing there and we looked in all of a sudden, they turned their attention to our group and they were screaming horrible, horrible things that i will not repeat to our children, two children. not adults. they were screaming them at children. >> dana: two covington students describing some of the apparent threats. >> there have been many threats against our lives, against our parents. some of these sets include that we should all be locked in the school and it should be burned to the ground. the school being bombed. school shooting threats. it's really scary. >> dana: nathan phillips, the native american activist, saying that he is willing to meet with the students. we will see if that happens. jesse, i want to take a listen to an exchange on "the view"

today. >> is it that we just instantly say that's what it is based on what we see in the moment? and then have to walk stuff back when we are wrong. why do we keep making the same mistake? >> because we are desperate to get trump out of office. i thinks that's the reason for the press jumps the gun because we have so much circumstantial evidence against this guy that we basically are hoping that cohen has the goods and what have you. it's wishful thinking. >> dana: there you have it. >> jesse: i have always said that that show is filled with a lot of wisdom. [laughter] >> dana: you might have a book one day and you might get invited. she was saying what was on her mind, that's maybe what happened. >> jesse: i think the media tried to calve in all these teenagers and it has inspired the rest of the country because

you see the injustice and you turn these kids into folk heroes because they have of face crime. he made a face and he stood there and did what all adults tell young people to do in the moment. not throw a punch, not yellow. not do anything he stood there like this and that was the crime. this is a great lesson. whenever you see a story in the media and everybody starts to pylon, step back and think about the covington boys and wait for the facts. some people are learning their lessons and some people aren't. some left-wing person went to a high school basketball photo and the guys were going with this and they said it's a white power symbol. no, that means someone just hit a three-pointer. everybody knows that the watch is basketball. we learn from parkland. children are off limits. i thought that's what was supposed to be the lesson. now you have a situation where the hat was offensive. the smirk was offensive. this is, from the same people that were yelling and chasing

people and their families out of restaurants. it doesn't really equate. you mentioned the indian at the top. he was not a vietnam veteran. that came out in the yard times and at clarify. he served during the vietnam era. >> dana: it was "the washington post" i think they did that. >> jesse: they are all correcting the story. >> dana: because he read all these papers all day long. david brooks wrote a piece today about how we do destroy lives today and when the story first broke on twitter, everyone was like oh, okay, they must be racist for the next day, it must be like liberals are all bad because they thought they were racist. all of our biases coming out one story. >> greg: who is david brooks? >> dana: he is a columnist for "the new york times." >> greg: even with the people, the new information, they are clinging to this like a life

preserver. actor has been jim carrey, this is the latest painting and which obviously he's demonizing these teenagers. i have to hand it to him. now his pictures are as bad as his pictures. what now you are having is reality is crashing down. this was a left-wing fantasy. you have the perfect villains, wearing maga, white kids. catholic students at a pro-life event. perfect lawn order suspects. they just needed to have super rich parents who were architects. then you had the perfect victim, native american vietnam vet was isolated. what happens with a story like that, it's too good to check. between this story in the buzzfeed story, the media is in worse shape than my liver after spring break. i don't know how you are going to come back from this. it's so bad. can i make one last point and then i will shut up. it's a lot about the nature of the social media. we don't understand how to use

social media yet. the death threats for example are because there's a low barrier of entry for death threats. it used to be if you wanted to make a death threat, you had to call, take a risk, they could trace your call. now anybody. three and earn 50 million, how many million? on the internet, at least 1% of them are psychopaths. they can make death threats. we do not know how to deal with this massive behemoth. it also makes people lesser versions of themselves because we don't have eye contact. we can't read each other. i can demonize you and you can demonize me and i can say hey, i made a mistake. and you can say that's not good enough. >> dana: if it is something that supports whatever your biases, makes you feel better. everyone hates social media but no one is getting off of it. is it up because we're afraid we're going to miss something or we are afraid were not going to

be able to police the other side or we think it's good for our own -- it's where we belong now? >> jedediah: it's a little bit of everything. we are addicted to it. #donotdisturb. if we are not they are and everybody else was there, we feel like were missing something. a lot of people out there who don't have a microphone, we are lucky enough to have a microphone on television to say how we feel. many people feel like i don't work in television. this is my way to get my opinion out. everyone kind of feels like a tv star out there. they get to see their peace and they get retweeted and they gated out there in front of you know somebody with a big microphone will pick it up and now all of a sudden they become famous. in this debate, i have to say i appreciate the joy behars of the world because they are bluntly honest. she's willing to say what a lot of people and media won't say which is that there's a mission to bring down president trump at all costs and they are willing to do that whether the information is true or not and that if they see an opportunity to paint somebody with a make america great again hat or at a

pro-life rally or whatever the circumstance, they have the opportunity to paint them as bigoted or racist or whatever to tie them to trump, they're going to do it. i appreciate that. need people like that because some of the people in media, like greg said, they are sticking to their argument that they are not telling you why. they are not being honest about this is a mission to take down the president. they are saying oh, no, we are right for these kids really are racist and they are fishing for something the past that might indicate that. you have to be grateful for the people on the left that are telling you exactly why they are doing it and what they are doing. you and you know, you have the facts and you know what you are rallying against. >> dana: it also comes to how we get our news and the way that news outlets sometimes pay their reporters which is clicks, you are measured on how many times there's a website click to your story, does it contribute? >> juan: i imagine it does. i think this is a bigger story about social media. i think we are all getting

played badly by the story because there's more video and more video, but we only see portions of the video. there's a new video out that says that two young woman said -- >> dana: we have that. it's a video that these women said they were being harassed by some of the students beforehand, and we have that block? >> [shouting] >> i'm so tired already. >> juan: now this casts the kids in a very negative light as having harassed people previously. with their maga hats and the language. when i say we are being played badly, dana, i'm talking about that twitter had to suspend an account. they published highly polarized political content, left and right, intended to divide people. supposedly based in california, turns out based in brazil and they don't exactly know who's putting it out. they are tweeting 130 times a

day. 40,000 followers. the video which they pushed aggressively was then bought into by mainstream media in this country and again, the initial interpretation proved to be wrong. at that point, they had 2.5 million people looking at this video and leaping to some kind of conclusion. i will say nathan phillips, the native american elder, said the kid has never apologized to him. he felt stared down and he felt threatened by the kid and he thought that with the black israelites were up to was offensive but he thought the kids and the israelites were about to clash and he was trying to be a peacemaker. so now you get people on either side, especially the right and the fact that hey, a lot of these initial interpretation was wrong. now the kids are to be protected. they are angels. i think boy, we as americans, we get fragmented, divided intentionally by these people for some reason and we play into it. we are such dummies.

>> dana: maybe people have learned a lesson but imagine what's going to happen. >> greg: to juan's point, it's the chain of ownership of the video. mainstream media picked it up and didn't vet it and they should be held accountable. they might. they might be sued. >> dana: we have to run. allison is gesturing wildly. the race for the white house is turning into the 2020 apology tour for big-name democrats. that and more ahead on "the five" ." i'm a veteran

says the senate will vote on thursday on two bills to potentially reopen the government. one is the president's plan with funding for the border wall. the second, a hospital that does not include money for the wall. all this comes as the white house is planning to move forward with the president delivering his upcoming state of the union address in congress. sources saying of the speech doesn't take place at the capital, it could happen from a location outside of washington, d.c. meanwhile, the race for the white house is turning into the apology primary for top democrats. pressuring from the left appearing to cause some 2020 contenders to say sorry for their past records are past positions. although he is yet to declare, joe biden is the latest one. he now regrets supporting tougher drug loss. >> haven't always been right. i know we haven't always gotten things right. he was a big mistake when it was made. we were told by the experts that crack, you never go back. it was somehow fundamentally different. it's not different. but it has trapped an entire

generation. to the women in our campaign who were harassed on the street, i apologize. >> many years ago, i apologize for my words and more importantly for the negative impact they had. i sincerely repeat my apology today. >> i listened and i realized things i had said were wrong. i was not caring about others. i was not fighting for other people's kids the same way i was fighting for my own, and i was wrong to feel that way. >> do i wish that sometimes they would've personally consulted me before they wrote the things they wrote? yes, i do. the bottom line is that the buck stops with me and i take full responsibility for what my office did. >> juan: jedediah, what do you make of the democrats? a lot of people saying there is so much pressure from the left on these candidates, and other people are saying well, maybe they should apologize. in the case of tulsi gabbard, congresswoman from hawaii, she's

been pretty strongly anti-gay. >> jedediah: the media will say it's evolving. they just evolved. i would love to say this hard left is a minority and this isn't going to work and you need to appeal to independent voters but the truth is i think that the moderates on the left are in the minority. i actually think a lot of democratic voters now agree with what people are saying, what alexandria ocasio-cortez is saying. there was a poll that said 59% of registered voters support a 70% marginal tax rate. i think democrat voters, millennials are going for what sounds good. it sounds good to say stuff is going to be free. free education. medicare for all. a green new deal, less fossil fuels. it sounds good and no one is paying attention that none of these candidates are explaining how stuff is going to get paid for, how it's not going to bankrupt indices. in the social media age, that sound bite works. i think the shift to the left is probably a smart one and i think

most of their voters will fall in line with them to be more supportive of a hard left candidate even though i wish that wasn't the case may want to say moderates still exist in the democratic party. i think they are the minority. >> juan: we will talk more about ocasio-cortez in the next segment. let me turn to jesse on joe biden because joe biden is someone that a lot of republicans don't have that much fight with. here he is saying he thought that when he was, mostly in the 1990s, imposing additional prison penalties for the use of crack cocaine, he was wrong. you heard him say everybody of the time was saying crack, there's no coming back from crack. what do you make of that? >> jesse: yeah, crack is whack and he's right about that. say no to drugs, kids. can i speak in generalities? my preferred method? when you are a democrat, it's good to apologize. when you are a republican, you should never apologize, here's why. when you're a republican, if you

apologize you look weak. if you're a democrat and you apologize to me look compassionate. the democratic party has evolved so much over the last 10 to make 15 years, they've changed positions on immigration, criminal justice, social justic, drug policies, gay marriage. if you look at the positions 10 and 15 years ago, those were held by democrats. now they don't hold those positions anymore but here's their problem. they call republicans that hold both positions evil. so when you are asked the question, you held the same position 15 years ago, were you evil back then? they say oh, well, i wasn't evi evil. republicans that hold the same positions i held 15 years ago, they are evil. the whole offensive strategy doesn't work anymore. >> juan: okay. by the way, i thought what we heard from gillibrand, she said she was wrong. she was looking out for her kids, not everybody else. i thought she said she was wrong.

>> jesse: she said she's not trump. she said trump is evil for having the same positions i held ten years ago. >> jedediah: in other words, she was well-intentioned. >> juan: when we hear about someone like kirsten gillibrand, an opponent for amnesty for illegal immigrants, wanted to increase funding for i.c.e. and other things he now says no, what do you make of that? >> dana: the apology does two things. one is that you can say i have addressed it. i'm moving on. keep pointing back to the one apology made. the second thing is that the bad thing is that makes you look inauthentic. or do voters really want? they want authenticity. that's why beto o'rourke is on the road typing out some process he goes along because people say they want to know that. president trump never apologize for anything. i was surprised that joe biden because to your point that maybe there might be some soft republicans who think maybe biden wouldn't be so bad, the

thing is one of the reasons a soft republican might like joe biden's because he did the right thing at that time which was he was tough on crime. if you look at the crime rates, it had an effect. he has to pander to the left which i think will hurt him in a general if you were to get there. >> juan: by the way, greg, it's interesting to me because i remember when people on the left and specifically black democrats were going after hillary clinton. do you remember this question like they said hillary clinton was tough on drugs and the like in hillary clinton and they said are you going to make a statement she said we could get yankee stadium to save us. it's a matter of policies. when i hear this from some of these people i think, interesting. martin luther king day. audiences in harlem, black churches. what do you think? >> greg: i don't know. i keep digging about some buddy who is legally separated trying to get back with his wife and saying i have changed. i am changed. i'm not like that old guy.

i think biden's apology is strange. there was a dramatic decline in crime over the last decades in the crime bill probably had something to do with it. there might be good parts to the crime bill and bad parts to the crime bill. i don't know enough about the differences between crack and criminality and other types of cocaine and criminality. the argument here is that people who were doing crack were treated differently than people doing powder cocaine. i don't know the details of this world. i've never tried a drug in my life. anyway. [laughter] my point is there might have been a criminality aspect, a gang mentality, i don't know, that had to do with crack cocaine. all we know is that we saw dramatic reductions in crime. >> juan: didn't president trump and jared kushner -- didn't they do a -- >> greg: yes. >> juan: a lot of this is about high rates of people being incarcerated, especially minorities and poor people. >> dana: both things can be

true. >> greg: i was going to get to the point, when people change minds, they can be sincere or they can be pandering. it's hard to tell. >> jesse: we know. i >> greg: our current president changed his mind on a lot of major issues. he liked hillary. he liked bill. i think you voted democrat. i believe it's actually okay to change your mind. you don't have to be a prison of two sides. you can hold, you can say the crime bill is good and has some bad parts. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. the problem right now is that the hard left makes it so that they keep shifting the morality every year. in five years, everything we say on "the five" will be -- prevent us from running for office. >> dana: thank god. >> jesse: some other things preventing us too. >> juan: i think you will be 35 by then. alexandria ocasio-cortez stunning some with her comments about billionaires and climate change. see it next right here on

"the five" ." [cell phone rings] where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom? he says it's personal this time.. if you're a mom, you call at the worst possible time. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. where are you? it's very loud there. are you taking a zumba class? i was thinking...d clot could there be another around the corner? or could it turn out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs 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. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis.

♪ >> jesse: alexandria ocasio-cortez continues to be the darling of the left. a poll shows 74% of democrats and they would consider voting for the congresswoman if she were old enough to run for president. since she's only 29. this comes as the self-proclaimed democratic socialist is under fire for taking this shot at capitalism. >> system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don't have access to public health is wrong. it's not only doesn't make economic sense but it doesn't make moral sense. >> jesse: okay zero cortez making waves with her dire prediction about the impact of climate change. >> millennials some people, jan

climate change, some say legitimate and some say not. she's doing the same thing. within the climate change argument, she is working on exaggeration, tertiary sources, secondary sources, but sorted donald trump. she's also doing something donald trump is doing: saying memorable things that are in her world directionally true. they might be completely inaccurate but directionally true. that's why she gets the applause. the world could ended 12 years. obviously that's wrong. but they are saying that her mind is going in the right direction. we can mock her for all of this but we are guilty of what everybody else did was trump, on morning joe on cnn, which is laugh until you've built her up to a certain statue that you can't laugh at her anymore. i think that's why even her peers in the democratic party are upset. they dislike her because she's on "60 minutes." she's on colbert and she just showed up. what does that sound like? sounds like the republican party

was trump. it's becoming an identical mirror. >> jesse: greg, you are on fire this week. >> greg: thank you. what are you doing later? cocktails on the veranda? >> jesse: i am wearing sneakers because -- i said my shoes were at the cobbler. it's cobbler not a current term for a shoe repair man? anyway. [laughter] let's get back to aoc. >> dana: i think aoc is the intellectual leader of the left. >> jesse: that is sad, dana. >> dana: the boulder backing it up. they are all having to respond to her. we will see how they handle their donald trump. i said in the break that i would love to sit next to president obama while he listens to something like that and to hear what he thinks because it would be interesting to hear. some of her ideas, it's not just they are unaffordable, it's that they are bad ideas.

how do you counter the bad ideas, even if they are directionally true in her mind? you have to explain why they are a bad idea. can give you a million examples. i will tell you where i think democrats have a good point on the economic argument against president trump. the way you hear them frame it and i think the republicans better pay attention to this, that there was a tax cut for the rich and absently help the rich. look at the stock market. look at what the companies did. they bought stock back. they didn't reinvest. you have billionaires that are wealthier and you have wages that have only gone up 2%. >> greg: knock it off, dana. >> dana: i'm just telling you. if you read mary anne marsh, she's often seen seen on fox news, she writes a piece this week that i think they have a way to make an economic argument against president trump, and the republicans better pay attention. >> jesse: we love when you give advice to democrats, dana. >> dana: they don't take it. >> jesse: juan never listens.

>> juan: are you kidding? i think she is terrific. the interesting part is the attacks on people who make more than $10 million. it was widely condemned as inviting us to be a next venezuela. then i look at the numbers on the numbers say 59% of americans agree with a 70% marginal tax rate, including, jedediah, 45% of republicans, 60% of independents and also democrats. "washington post" says she is the zeitgeist of american politics because she rivals donald trump. she is second only to tromp in terms of politicians and their twitter handles. and you know that when people are asked if they would vote for her versus trump, trump gets 43% and she is 40%. 17% undecided. if she was 35, your age, right? eligible to run for president, she would be a really strong candidate. >> jedediah: i disagree. i don't think she's an

intellectual leader. she's a populist leader. she says a lot of the right things. it's not smart is the problem. she's probably the easiest person to debate on the left because all you have to do -- she doesn't go on shows where she is challenged. you look at capitalism and socialism a new look at those countries, look at countries that have rich capitalism and watch what it's done to the economy. look at socialist countries. unfortunately in this country we are getting to be where we have to walk through the mud in order to experience -- it's like why do we have to suffer through social doesn't understand that socialism is bad? other countries have paved the way for us to get that message. i agree with dana that she's a leader but i think if you watched her in the interview where she actually got challenged. >> dana: i think she was challenged by anderson cooper.

who are they? multiple on known forces. some say this, some say that. some say reporters without sources. sadly we are at the mercy of some when there aren't even any. it's a make-believe. how did knight respond to such criticism? of what i pray the national anthem will bring us all together in a way never before witnessed and we can move forward and untangle these truths which means so much to all of us." she sang what we feel. enough already. let's move on. i'm with her. she looks great, by the way. >> dana: amazing. >> greg: every issue, be it immigration, climate or crime, the media desires only two positions in the anthem case you're either for standing during the anthem or against police. halliday. one 100% of the general population can hold both positions. gladys holds both, advocating for justice and the anthem. i'm sure she will do a great

>> dana: if colin kaepernick were given a job, they're going to find another reason to go after her first seeing the national anthem. maybe they should just give him a job for the rest of the season? get it. there is no season left. >> greg: you could have tricked me. i have no idea. her message is can't we unite? her ideas that the anthem is separate from the social justice issues which makes total sense. >> jedediah: she has a long history of fighting for social injustice issues. racial injustice, aids research. it's kind of sad that people are stunned that she would say the national anthem could be used as a unifying force for the country so removed for that and has made the national anthem so divisive. she's saying you can be a social justice warrior and sing the national anthem and be a unifying moment, it's foreign to people. it's sad. >> greg: almost every segment or issue we talk about has to do

at its core with identity politics. it never ends well. maybe this will finally be a healing moment. i hate to say healing moments. >> jesse: i was going to use another analogy. i think gladys put the last shovel of dirt on kaepernick's grave. here's why. kaepernick is over. no one cares about kaepernick anymore. none of the players knelt barely at all this year. it hasn't really been a controversy much this year at all. except for the eagles didn't go to the white house but on the field, players not kneeling anymore. kaepernick, he's never coming back to the nfl. like you said, the only people making a big fuss about it are a few people on twitter. gladys knight is well-respected, social media warrior like myself. shot down all of these people and repeated the talking point that i have been using the entire year. gladys, thanks for watching and listening. the anthem is a moment of national unity and that's where

everybody should come together and you can talk about social justice afterwards. >> greg: i think there were three moments in what you said... they have upset half of america. i counted at least three. >> jesse: we have one more segment left on the show. >> dana: i can't imagine anyone wants to punch you.

anyway. i thought that would get a better laugh. here's the lesson. i would freak out. i would be on the news. i would probably be doing something so insane. this is why i rely on the 3m is when i'm traveling. music, medicine, and neat. if you have beef jerky avenue, event music and god or whatever. xanax, valium, prescription meds. you can sit back and be the calm voice of reason and get through. i don't understand. nobody could go on a bus and help these people out? >> jedediah: they said they brought another plane in but it took 12 hours to get there. the key is the food. always come prepared with snacks on the plane. >> dana: you should have more than a breath mint in your bag when you are going on a plane. i've never experienced something like this. horrendous. my husband had some thing like

this but they got grounded in the middle east and it was like 110 degrees outside and they couldn't run the engine for the air conditioning. >> greg: like iowa? >> juan: i've been trapped on plays for several hours, six hours. it makes me crazy. i go bananas. it's not that i act out but i am freaking out inside. the thing is it's always at the airline say we do this for passenger safety. usually they say we don't want to go back to the gate because it would go back to the gate, then we have to get permission to go back to the runway to it's going to cost time. or they say it's not safe. in this case, you're talking about, we can't let you out. you are treating people like they are captives. instead of human beings who don't like to be confined and not know about their own destiny. this is a total lack of control, it's a total insult to human nature and yet the airlines do it repeatedly. >> jedediah: i think jesse, if you are ceo, you could fix this

problem. >> jesse: i don't think i could. when i am stuck on a plane and it's delayed, i always think i'm the most important person on this plane and i'm getting railroaded and that's not fair and i demand special treatment. it's good to sit back and think i'm probably not the most important person. there's probably pregnant people are people who are going to see a dying relative and that's what calms me down. >> jedediah: "one more thing" is coming up next. okay, max...time to help mrs. tyler reach her health goals! i'm in! but first... shelfie! the great-tasting nutrition of ensure. with up to 30 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals!
