the president has to address, not the least of which the comments he made to george stephanopoulos on the democrats piling on to say it should be forbidden. legislation should be provided to make sure no president entertains the idea and the back-and-forth goes on. here's "the five." ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i'm dana perino with katie pavlich, juan williams, jesse watters and tom shillue. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." fox news alert. president trump announcing a short time ago that sarah sanders is leaving the white house as press secretary. white house correspondent kevin corke joins us now with the very latest. it was very touching for the president to bring her up on stage at the event and give her a moment to say a few things. and for the american people. she will be living at the end of the month. >> you are spot on. she's the third woman in history. you of course one of the other two, dd myers of course back in 1993.

while we don't know exactly where the next chapter will lead, we can tell you it will likely take her back home to the razorback state of arkansas. >> president trump: she's done an incredible job. we have been through a lot together, and she is tough but she's good. you have tough and bad, right? she's tough and she's good. she's great. >> kind words by the president at that event you just mentioned not long ago. you remember she assumed the role in july 2017 after sean spicer left the job. she also stood in for spicer during the dismissal form or former fbi director jim comey and the controversy following it. she did such a great job, the president said that's what he elevated her to that position. now after two and a half years on the job, it's time for a new challenge. >> i'll try not to get emotional because i know crying can make us look weak sometimes, right? [laughs] this has been the owner of a lifetime, the opportunity of a lifetime. i couldn't be prouder to have

had the opportunity to serve my country and particularly to work for this president. he has accomplished so much in these two and half years. it's truly been something i will treasure forever. >> i can tell you i just got a text about 15 minutes ago from a white house official. she called sanders "a consummate professional, someone who loves her country, and all the people including the people with whom she disagrees very strongly politically." the president said on twitter, someone he called a very talented person. sarah sanders stepping down. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you. we will spend a few minutes talking about it. this is a momentous thing when they press secretary leaves in a new one comes in. it's been a different role than in the past than the last little bit. one thing you can say, jesse, she was one of the trusted advisors of the president. in addition to doing press secretary role, she is somebody who uses a counselor.

>> jesse: she was in his inner circle, and it speaks to her talent and grace and compassion and intellect. she is going to be really missed because she was a real crusader for the trump agenda. she's incredibly articulate, not afraid to go toe to do with the press, who despised her and despise president trump and those press conferences, we don't see them as much as we used too but they can be very, very entertaining and combative. >> dana: it's been 94 days. >> jesse: it's been a while. she's always kept her composure, and she was right on the money with what she said and i think were going to miss her. she's got a young family. she wants to spend time with them and i think that's very important. >> dana: when i was a press secretary, i didn't have to keep alive a plant. i never understood how she could take care of three beautiful children. >> juan: it's tremendously difficult. talk about a time-consuming occupation. there's no getting away. >> dana: there's a lot you don't see behind the scenes, the

logistical part of getting the press to and from where the need to be at the right time. >> juan: i think the sad part is, i like sarah sanders. i was pained when i saw that comedian at the white house correspondents' dinner make fun of her while she was sitting there. i thought she handled it with some grace. hoping the whole relationship between the press and the trump white house is broken. jesse mentioned the absence of daily briefings. i just can't imagine. i've never seen a white house that doesn't have -- >> dana: they would argue. katie, they are more transparent because you get to hear directly from the president all the time. they always asked the press secretary, what is the president think. he will tell you. >> katie: you will walk out and speak with the press more often than the number of presidents have. being in the room with sarah sanders when she was giving those briefings, it was hot and the room was packed. she did it with grace and she did everything she good to get the press what they needed. do your point about the logistics, so much that goes on

behind the scenes and i don't think the staff gets enough credit. >> dana: you hear it from the reporters. all those things they need, the day-to-day. check this, do that. we wish her the very best. this is not the last you'll see of sarah sanders. let's move on. president trump facing massive backlash after staying in an interview that he would be open to hearing dirt on his 2020 rivals from foreign governments. watch. >> your campaign, foreigners, if russia, china, someone else offers you information on an opponent, should they accept it or call the fbi? >> president trump: i think maybe you do both. i think you might want to listen. there's nothing wrong with listening. if somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent. oh, i think i want to hear it. >> you want that kind of interference in our election? >> president trump: its noninterference. they have information. i think i would take it. if there was something wrong, i would go maybe to the fbi if i thought there was something wrong but with someone comes up with oppo research.

they come up with oppo research. let's call the fbi? the fbi doesn't have enough agents to take care of it but you go and talk honestly to congressman, they'll do it. they always have, and that's the way it is. it's called oppo research. >> dana: democratic 2020 candidates quick to pounce. joe biden tweeting it's a threat to our national security. kamala harris saying the president himself is a national security threat. kirsten gillibrand think it's time for congress to begin impeachment hearings and elizabeth warren echoing gillibrand, also calling for impeachment. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer harshly criticizing the president. >> the president gave us once again evidence that he does not know right from wrong. it's a very sad thing. for the president to be so cavalier to disregard the indifference to law and any sense of ethics that who we are as a country to say he would invite foreign intervention,

intelligence community, with great confidence has put forth that the russians interfered in our election. it's an assault on our democrac democracy. >> to say it's okay to interfere, that we shouldn't have any law enforcement, that we should have no knowledge, is to encourage russia, china, north korea, iran, to interfere in our elections with no recourse. shame, shame. >> dana: jesse, i was gone one day, and i get back and we're still talking about russia. this is obviously getting a lot of attention today. >> jesse: it might be one of the dumbest controversies in the trump administration and there's been a lot of dumb controversies. this might take the cake. george is trying to create a scandal over a hypothetical. george comes in, mr. president, the ambassador to china, you know, he says to you that bernie stiffed a waitress at denny's.

what do you do? trump says i would listen. maybe i would call the fbi. impeach! you have to be kidding me. trump gets word that bernie stiffed a waitress and have to call the fbi? there's a thousand different hypothetical scenarios that you could be talking about. what did the president say? i'd listen. maybe i would call the fbi. that's all he said. the left is freaking out over a hypothetical but they are not looking at the reality. hillary actually did this. hillary paid a foreign agent to get russian dirt and then she used it to wiretap. or what about when those foreign governments paid millions of dollars for the clinton foundation when she was running for president? or little adam schiff. he was on the phone call. we have the audio. oh, we have -- the whole thing is so stupid and it goes back to the trump tower meeting where don jr. thought he was going to get dirt on hillary, didn't get it, they

didn't have it. no money changed hands, like it did with the clintons and the whole meeting was set up by fusion gps. this is all ridiculous. >> juan: 's i tell you, jesse. you a bigger show. you're going to have to try to get out of this. this is so ridiculous. there's a united states law. this is not a matter of opposition research. as a law that says you cannot accept money or in-kind contributions from a foreign governments. >> jesse: so we are going to lock hillary up? >> juan: let me finish. this is a president which nancy pelosi said cannot tell right from wrong, we go from illegal. >> jesse: tell me about the dossier. >> juan: this is totally different. >> jesse: how is it different? >> juan: fusion gps is american company.

christopher wray, trump's fbi director, said it's wrong. what did trump say? christopher wray is wrong. no, christopher wray, the fbi director, is right. when you try to blame and deride george stephanopoulos, this was no gotcha moment. >> jesse: doing this to every republican since there was no collusion. since you're not colluding, would you accept foreign dirt? >> juan: essentially you are insulting the president because the president knows exactly what he's doing, knows exactly what he's saying. this is no gotcha moment. >> jesse: you have no answer on the dossier. you have no answer. where do they get it from? >> katie: fusion gps was working with christopher steele is an american opposition research. >> jesse: you are upset over trump. >> katie: if you let me finish the sentence. the question is, does it apply to everybody, does the standard apply?

during the 2016 election, it apparently was okay to reach out with cash and money to pay foreign actors to get research from russian adversarial sources. nancy pelosi is saying that if someone reaches out to you as a republican, that's unethical. it's a criminal cover-up and it's not allowed. when it comes to the dossier, when the left was exposed as being behind the funding for that, the clinton campaign in the dnc, they claimed it was just opposition research. doesn't matter that it came from a foreign source or who the source was. we were doing our job as of that campaign to get information. but when the president uses the same argument from the oval office saying he might call the fbi but he's going to listen to the information, then all of a sudden they are calling for more impeachment on the basis that he's a criminal. well, there's a double standard. do we want foreign interference in our elections? no. there are reasons why we have laws about foreign donations and foreign money being used for campaigns. but if are going to talk about this, there's going to be a

whole lot of people in washington, d.c., who were guilty of colluding or using information from foreign governments, including democrats, to interfere in elections. >> dana: tom hasn't had a chance to talk yet. >> tom: democrats, don't talk to norway. the president is going to take the call. >> dana: the press secretary today. >> tom: jesse, you are dead on. it's ridiculous. the stories ridiculous. it was a fabricated story because george planted -- what would you do if this? i wish the president would say i'm glad i didn't contact the fda last time around because the guy who was running the fbi was working against me. that's one example when you shouldn't call the fbi, when the head of the fbi is working for the other campaign, which is what happened. >> jesse: papadopoulos contacted the fbi's at these foreign agents are trying to spy on me. what do they do to him? >> juan: let me tell you. you are covering up for something that's inexcusable. remember, when they give you this information, they have

hooks and you and you are not representing the best interests of our country. either you're working for the foreign government or you're working -- >> jesse: working for -- >> dana: was a missed opportunity. i'm terrified of getting in trouble. i would always call the fbi. i do ever want to get in trouble and if the russian and chinese or the norwegians or swiss, if they called me with information, i would call. but president trump could say what about the obama administration? what were they doing to prevent interference in our election? i would love to hear the answer to that, george, flip it on him. doing a really important big interview to broaden your reach and the interview, even though they talked about the economy a little bit, something like this is going to blow up. if you were the press secretary, you want to jump on that grenade. here we are once again. bernie sanders says when it comes to taxes, we'd all be delighted to pay more. can you believe that? that's next. -and...that's your basic three-point turn.

john hickenlooper urging his fellow democrats to janelle janelle socialism or risk another four years of president trump. >> democrats must say loudly and clearly that we are not socialist. if we do not, we will end up helping to reelect the worst president in this country's history. >> katie: jesse, it seems like some members of the media are catching onto this idea that this will be paid for just by the rich but by everybody. >> jesse: it took them long enough. they are not good at math, usually, the press. it doesn't take a genius to realize you can raise taxes on every single american and you still can't pay for all of bernie's schemes. medicare for all, free housing, free college, green new deal. it's like $150 trillion. the budget alone for a year is about 4.5 trillion. it just doesn't add up. ernie is not great at math, but that's fine. no one cares. we need bernie to get the

nomination. a trump-bernie match up, america deserves it. we've been good. we've been eating our vegetables. it's a clear contrast. socialism versus capitalism, america, venezuela, control, freedom. we need it. bernie's poll numbers are rising. he has grassroots support in new hampshire and iowa. >> dana: his numbers are going down. >> jesse: creeping up. >> dana: no, elizabeth warren's are up. >> jesse: warrants and biden zara. biden's are going down. >> katie: he's losing a little bit bit of steam. >> jesse: i'm trying to help bernie. bernie is doing great. [laughter] >> katie: you have governor hickenlooper trying to make this distinction between democrats and democratic socialism and the full-blown socialism that bernie sanders is promoting.

>> juan: democratic socialism is about the social safety net in a country experiencing high levels -- >> katie: what is it mean? everything's all right? >> juan: bernie gave a speech at george washington university. it must've been tuesday. he laid it out and he said you want universal coverage for health care, you want health care. you want to make sure young people are able to go to college without leaving with unbearable debt. want to make sure housing isn't punishing for working people, that they can afford a place to live. he went on in this way. i want to speak to your point, katie, about taxes. we have pulls here at fox news and we had a poll in january, 70% hear of the people we polled said raise taxes officially of people who make over $10 million a year. ray 65 raise taxes on people making more than a million. when it comes to wealth, income that you have sitting in growing because it's in the markets.

60% of the millionaire said we should be paying more taxes. this is not some crazy idea. most americans think yeah, the rich should pay more. >> katie: they can right a check to the treasury at any point in time if they would like to volatility pay more in taxes -- voluntarily pay more in taxes. people don't like the system under obamacare. bernie sanders is talking about it but the difference between health care and health insurance, right? >> dana: the medicare for all question, you can get a high number when you ask people but when you asked the second question in the third question, it drops precipitously. one of the things bernie sanders has been saying is that we need, we as democratic socialists, need to explain to older voters we mean by socialist or socialism. i think he realizes because it pulls terribly, especially with reliable senior citizens who are voters are baby boomers or event of generation x. it's a failed system.

it has failed all around the world. i think what they really want is not socialism and that the government is running the industries and deciding things. what they really want is a much larger welfare state. they might have to find a different word to explain what that means because larger welfare state probably is going to sell either. their argument is that if people think they have their health care taken care of and they are not going to be buried in college education debt. it'll be fine. the thing that conservatives have to think about is that people are becoming much more willing to think that the government can solve these problems for them. that is on the rise. the trump administration, going into this election, they have framed it at the state of the union. capitalism versus socialism. going forward and for the long range health of the movement and the party, the republican party, being able to explain the government is not going to be able to solve this for you is key. >> juan: what doesn't work for

you? >> katie: what about all those kids who just want socialism? >> tom: they don't understand it. i am sure, juan, you are right about this poll. they ask people would you like this to happen would you be willing to pay more taxes? yeah, i would. but when you run against them, they're going to lose. people who say i'm going to raise the taxes lose. if democrat sam going to raise your taxes, they are going to lose. hickenlooper is right. last week when he said don't say socialism, he got booed in front of democrats. >> katie: new cringeworthy moments coming from the campaigns of top 2020 democrats. that's up next introducing the first of its kind lexus ux

...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.

elizabeth warren. >> hold on a sec. i'm going to get me a beer. my husband bruce is now here. do you want a beer? to go i will pass on the beer for now. >> i will sit down. >> jesse: warren's campaign pushing the alcohol infused strategy further, offering supporters to drink with her if they donate her presidential campaign which then enters them into a contest. tom, i think you should pony up a few dollars to maybe give a shout. >> tom: her husband doesn't want to drink with her. >> jesse: she needs a drinking . i'll do it. doesn't look too comfortable. >> katie: it looks like she hasn't drank a beer before. >> jesse: dana, there has to be some sort of fund-raising strategy here. >> dana: i think people want -- we talk about authenticity and people want experiences.

we all have enough stuff. i think if you want to raise money and get some buzz going for your campaign, it's probably a good idea. >> jesse: get some buzz. i like that. >> juan: the strategy is that you want lots of people to contribute. it's not the money. it's not the $5. it's that you want several donors. you want thousands of people. guess what. this is a strategy, jesse, that was engineered by president obama. he did it. president trump. president trump offered dinner at mar-a-lago. he also offered dinner in d.c. and in new york at trump tower. his kids would come, his wife would come. >> dana: would kim kardashian be there? >> juan: if you showed up today. >> jesse: she looks awkward with the beer. >> katie: this recent spate of democrats doing things like this, they were doing it because beto was doing it first. beto was getting his teeth done at the dentist and doing all the weird stuff with the haircut and

then these other democrats were like, or, my gosh. beto is getting all this tension, raised all that money. we have to do the same thing. kirsten gillibrand was lifting weights. elizabeth warren grabbing a beer. generally speaking, this has been done before but this one section of time was chasing bet beto. >> jesse: up next, joe biden conveniently forgets some of the time in the white house when he was obama's vp. watch. >> you know what i was most proud of? for eight years, there wasn't one single hint of a scandal. >> jesse: will the media fact-check it? i doubt it. >> tom: i doubt it. fast and furious, irs, benghazi, spying on trump. did they include spying on trum trump? that's at the top of my list. there's others.

>> jesse: the bergdahl trade. >> dana: remember, eric holder -- what did he call himself? the wing man. all the democrats say this. michelle obama has said it on the campaign trail. also during her book tour. president obama has said it in speeches. they are going to keep saying it. even if the media does fact-check them, i guarantee they're going to keep saying it. >> katie: it's pretty disgraceful. >> jesse: who does it remind you of, juan? >> juan: it's the truth but the bigger truth is kellyanne conway, i wonder what the government is saying about her service. maybe she should leave? how about ryan zinke using his office -- how about scott pruitt? taxpayer-funded travel. >> jesse: idling anyone is denying that it was scandal free. >> juan: i'm saying i think if you want to go on about things like benghazi, irs. these are like pimples.

you ignore -- >> katie: four dead americans in benghazi. >> juan: what happened in niger? >> katie: democrats are a little bit disrespectful when they try to downplay no scandals, considering a number of scandals in the obama administration got people killed and they are still working on it. the irs scandal ruin people's lives. it's funny to joke about and they're going to keep saying it but there were serious life or death consequences to a lot of what the obama administration did. they can say all they want that it's not true, but it is. families that were affected are still dealing with it. >> jesse: grounding out the cringeworthy moments is cory booker. no one can forget this. >> i'm going to release the email about racial profiling. i understand the penalty comes with potential ousting from the senate. if senator cornyn believes that i violated senate rules, i openly invite and accept the consequences. this is the closest i will probably have in my life to a "i

am spartacus" moment. >> jesse: now he is saying this. >> i was talking about dick durbin. oh, my god. i literally had a senior senator in illinois saying if i'm going to get kicked out of the senate i want to go to end this was the closest i will ever come to an "i am spartacus" moment. we live in an echo chamber. you can barely find moments where i popped above the radar screen. i was going to work with people on the other side of the aisle. >> jesse: i don't get it? dick durbin is spartacus? >> tom: i think he was thinking of a different time he used the spartacus reference. he was clearly talking about himself. he was not talking about dick durbin. >> dana: i think he has a point in that, he had the spartacus moment. sometimes you only get one chance. that's the brand. he hadn't done too much before. but there was a very partisan moment. he was the first person, senator to testify against one of his

own colleagues, that was senator jeff sessions when he was becoming attorney general. >> juan: he looks like he's losing wait, doesn't he? i don't know. >> jesse: he looks good to me. >> juan: i don't know how to judge this because i thought he was referring to himself as spartacus. maybe he is trying to spin. i don't know. >> jesse: i think i would own it. take the shirt off. >> katie: if i was dick durbin, i would be like no, man, it's all you. >> jesse: a south carolina mom in legal trouble after confronting her son's bullies. up next. my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

certain natural level bullying that takes place in school but once it becomes, as she noted, violence, or your grabbing a kid off a slide in its relentless and constant, you have to take action. she let the emotions get the best of her. she shouldn't have gone into the school to confront the kids. maybe do it outside the school. we will talk to the kids' parents. maybe set up a parent-teacher conference or talk to the administration. it's a problem in the school sounded soft like they were doing enough about it. she shouldn't have gone to the school but i think they are going to take steps. >> juan: they are saying they were aware of the situation. >> dana: this is human nature. mothers want to protect their children. honestly fathers do too. if you feel like the school isn't doing enough and your mom. yes, it takes time to teach people how to deal with bullying and that's part of growing up but if he gets the point where she thought her child was in

danger, there's not a lot you can do to stop a mom from protecting her children. >> tom: my message to parents. the school is doing nothing. schools don't do anything. they can't do anything. they can't discipline students anymore. so something has to be done. in the old days, my mother used to say, go punch him. we would fight it out. apparently you can't do that anymore. the thing about the school saying that it's never okay for a parent to approach another person's child. you could've told me that a long time ago. watch me on the playground. that's all i do. i'm like you, knock it off. you come i'm going to take that away from you. all i do is berate other people's children. >> juan: did you ever punch anybody out? >> katie: no, but when i was in high school, bunch of girls made their own gang against me. >> dana: in high school? and how do you like her now? >> katie: it worked out okay. i think the zero-tolerance

policies that schools have implemented have emboldened bullies. what they do is if you fight back as a kid was getting bullied, you are suspended at the same rate as the bully. if you are a friend who jumps into defensive ones being bullied, you are also punished and expelled or suspended from school. the bullies don't care about their behavior. so your punishing everybody equally instead of thinking about -- >> juan: the anti-bullying ordinance in wisconsin. >> katie: i don't know specifically about that one but generally speaking they have implemented zero-tolerance policies for bullying and it's like checking a box rather than looking at the situation and thinking, who started it and why is this person bullying. did this person respond in self-defense? that's okay because it's the only way to really handle it. they treated as an equal playing field for the bully and the bullied which i think only emboldens the bully. >> juan: i think tom is onto something. if you punch out somebody and say, you better stop it, jerk,
