challenges in this country. the united states of america, still the very best country on the face of the public. have a great weekend. the "ingram angle" is uthat. all right. "the five" is coming tomorrow. see you tomorrow on "cavuto live." >> jesse: hello, everybody. i'm jesse watters along with emily compass know, doug, kennedy and greg gutfeld and this is "the five." fox news alert. the united states and iran are teetering on the brink after president trump ordered airstrikes last night but then called them off up until the last minute. military planes were ready to target several iranian assets when the call came to stand down. the president explaining his actions in an interview with nbc. >> so did you green light something or had you said if we do it, i will do this? what was the order you gave? >> nothing is green lighted until the very end because

things change, right? >> you never gave a final order? >> no, no, no, no. we had something ready to go subject to my approval. they came in and they came in about a half an hour before they said we are about ready to go. i said. >> like in the air? were planes in the air. >> about ready to go. no, but they would have been pretty soon and things would have happened to a point where you wouldn't turn back or couldn't turn back. we are ready to go, we would like a decision how many people would be killed? in this case iranians? i said how many people are going to be killed? sir, i would like to get back to you on that. great people, these generals. they said came back and said, sir, approximately 150. and i thought about it for a second and i said you know what? they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it and here we

are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after i said go ahead. >> yeah. >> and i didn't like it. i didn't think it was -- i didn't think it was proportionate. >> jesse: the democrats and the media spent days worrying the president would bumble us into war. now that he has shown restraint they are singing a quite different tune. >> donald trump's approach is to threaten, to bully, to insult, and then to pull back. >> a president has to be strong on behalf of the united states not on behalf of the of these authoritarian figures that he keeps trying to relate to. >> what he has done is demonstrate to the iranians that he is a twitter tiger. there is fear in him. and the iranians are expert calculator when 2 comes to figuring out the fear that's in their enemies. i think they have got this guy's number. >> jesse: the iranians have our number. all right, greg. break this down for us. >> greg: sure, let me break this down for you, jesse. weird that donald trump has made it okay for republicans

to be anti-war. this is what we noticed with this unusual phenomenon that is trump that s. that he is not your typical republican, okay? by being antiwar, now the media has transformed into becoming these craven hawks. like now they are going like why aren't you doing this? it's kind of weird when you see, because i like bret and some of these people, but they are kind of like goading him. they are suggesting that there is some kind of weakness by not killing these people. and so what they're basically saying is you should go to war. we talked about this yesterday. we were trying to figure out what is the response that feels right to the downing of a drone? i said yesterday it's stuff vs. stuff. and that's progress. because we are not throwing bodies at each other anymore. and the media seems like they miss that. they want to have the bodies. they want to have the pileup. and what we are seeing right now is i think it's progress towards a new way of dealing with a threat that's been

around for 40 years. >> jesse: the media only wants the bodies because the day before they didn't want the bodies. it's a reaction to what president trump did and it shows you how unprincipled they are, kennedy. >> kennedy: i think this is great. and the fact that this president -- this is one of my favorite aspects about his personality not only the anti-interventionism it's one of the bigger concerns with iran is who has his ear? i'm always troubled when its mike pompeo and john bolton because i think they are impulsive and a little trigger happy but then you have people like his daughter ivanka and if you remember, he dropped missiles on air base because of some of the images from bashar assad and the russians gassing syrians with chlorine gas. but the fact that we're seeing a president take a measured approach and actual not make excuses but talk about a body count and show some empathy, i think that, to greg's point, making

phenomenal progress and always very disconcerting when you have people on the left and i lump hillary clinton into this category who have never worn the uniform, they have never served. they are some of the ones so quick to thrust us into these incursions. >> jesse: are you worried though, doug, this deterrence factor sometimes you need disproportionate reaction when someone does something at that level. >> the iranians are vicious killers. they're threatening the state of israel. they are the ones who destabilize syria, kept bashar assad in power. the republican guard only understands one thing, power. i think in fairness the president's explanation makes sense but what i think we lack is a strategy as to how we are going to deal with future incursions because there is a sense among nations in the middle east that we don't have the power and fervour that we need to confront radical

islam and terrorism. while in the short-term i can agree with what you and kennedy and greg are saying in the longer term i'm worried that we don't have a clear and cogent strategy. >> kennedy: appeasing iran would be a better idea? >> hitting them would have been better. letting them know. >> kennedy: hitting them? you don't mind if that means creating funerals and bodies. >> we have created funerals all over the middle east and indeed there is venezuela now. >> kennedy: we should probably drop a couple nuclear devices on iran by that logic absolutely. they kill people, we should kill more people. >> you are mocking me and mocking a proportionate response. kennedy contend i'm not mocking you i'm using a add sufferedum. >> greg: have you gone over my head, kennedy and i don't like that. >> jesse: one of the strategies unmanned aircraft maybe you take a step back being the behemoth that we are we give it some time and see what happens maybe they come to the table. if there is a human being,

an american in that plane, i guarantee you that those retaliatory strikes would have been swift and firm. >> emily: i'm thinking 100 percent but i wasn't going to say it until then. absolutely. the benefit of today's occurrences is that, one, it gave iran an incredible scare that they're one step or were one step away from something that they would pay dearly for. those in the military were deeply surprised by this decision by the president but i think it had that two-fold benefit of showing iran that we were seriously and secondly of dealing it in the media. we nipped it in the bud with a left leaning media. if trump had proceeded with either the cyber attacks that whole spectrum we discussed yesterday if he had pursued the financial choke holds in terms of the elicit financial mechanisms republican guard and neighboring countries then they still would be talking about through the this entire decision well he is bringing us to the brink of war and what happens if.

this he is blustering there always would have been what if. i love that he went there already so now he explains transparently why he backed away and we can proceed with lesser measures. >> jesse: do you know what bothers me is you now have john kerry and former obama administration foreign policy officials that have been actively speaking and vood aadvising iranian regime shooting our drones out of the sky that's a huge problem. >> greg: issue like vaughn long-term issue take decades. the media doesn't like that. we don't know what's going on and there could be stuff that's happening between iran and the united states right now that we have no clue and could all look really foolish tomorrow. the fact is trump has always been kind of willing to take the longer term approach. i'm not that interested in bombing them right now.

maybe i might bomb them later. >> kennedy: i think the unpredictability is also what makes him a little bit more successful in the foreign policy arena. you talk about the fact that he didn't hit iran and didn't kill iranians and doesn't have a foreign policy strategy neither do any of the 23 democrats. i have not seen their policy papers. >> that doesn't make donald trump's approach any better. i want predictability. >> greg: i don't. >> i do. >> kennedy: telegraph exactly what you are doing. >> jesse: enemies want predictability. enemies are kept on their toes when they don't know what the commander-in-chief is going to do. coming up, some democrats are warning that recent inner party attacks on joe biden could actually help reelect president trump ♪ help me rhonda ♪ help me rhonda ♪ help me rhonda ♪ help me rhonda ♪

♪ doug doug it's been a tough week for to 20 democratic front runder joe biden after his rivals harshly criticized him for comments he made about working with segregationist senators. since joining the race for president he has become the number one target for his rivals. don't believe me? just watch. >> to coddle the reputations of segregationists if they had their way i would not be standing here as a member of the united states senate i think it's misinformed and it's wrong. >> for his posture to be for me i have done nothing wrong, you should apologize, i'm not a racist is so

insulting and missing the larger point. >> is joe biden a return to the past? >> he is. and that cannot be who we are going forward. >> is joe biden wrong? >> yes we do not pass laws that take away that freedom from women who are the most vulnerable. >> if you look at my reckoning and my reckoning, i don't think there is much question about who is more progressive. >> doug: let's give joe a break that's the sentiments from some democrats including this democrats who want the attacks against bide to stop because they think it will ultimately help trump. according to the hill, quote: lawmakers feel the 2020 democratic presidential primary field is becoming a circular firing squad with trump winding up as the burb area of internicing fighting. i got that out, kennedy. >> kennedy: yes, you did.

>> doug: what do you think of that? >> kennedy: have you so many candidates running they have it differentiate themselves at some point. if you wait too long like steven bullock you get left behind the pell ton. so you really have a clump of candidates who are double digits behind biden and they have to do something and unfortunately joe biden gave them an entree for this kind of criticism that really sticks to him this is the hardest aspect of his past to explain away. he hasn't done a good job of that he has opened himself up to that and they're the ones who stepped in to try to score political points which is what do you in an election. >> doug: jesse, i think this is mostly unfair attack on joe biden. do you agree with me? >> jesse: poor joe. be nice to the frontrunner. he is so fragile. it doesn't feel confident that democrats are whispering about letting joe skate by. i think what was it 2008 obama attacked the frontrunner hillary, beat her and won the general.

donald trump attack would frontrunner and you want a competitive primary because you want the eventual nominee come out battle-tested last time bernie said i don't care about hillary's. >> kennedy: damn emails. >> jesse: dumb. hurt bernie and ultimately hurt hillary hillary could not defend her emails effectively because she wasn't forced to form late a strategy. he is so vulnerable and he has a glass jaw. to now be whining and strategizing this early before the first debate crying mercy? >> doug: i guess you are not so sympathetic. >> jesse: looks so weak, doug. >> doug: are you so spam they thick for biden? >> emily: no. >> jesse: welcome to the "the five." >> emily: we saw this in

2006 when they said basically look leave hillary alone joe is the establishment candidate. the difference in 2016 hillary had that air of inevitability biden doesn't have that they are not interested in the v.p. situation. they are not worried about their careers if he takes the cabinet. i don't think it will come to that the ones toeing the line oh i was pushing you on an issue that is important to the base. it's clear that no one else thinks that he is the inevitable frontrunner except for trump's polster who says he believes it's going to be elizabeth warren. >> doug: i think there is a good shot there could be one. greg, do you think he will get taken down? >> greg: i will meet you in the sympathetic world briefly. >> doug: thank you. >> greg: joe was trying to make the point he could work with anyone ironically he is talking about democrats who now don't want to work with him. it's a rich, full circle like that movie the lion king?

>> kennedy: the circle of life, greg. >> greg: i feel bad for joe until i remember that he has pulled the very same crap on republicans. the smear machine created by the left is that crocodile that will ultimately eat everybody and you think you will be safe but it will eat you too. he is the one that said trump didn't condemn white supremacy when he did. he said romney was going to put y'all back in chains. he has smeared people who essentially voted for trump. >> he has made his bed with the smear machine and unfortunately he has to lie in that bed. >> jesse: that's by he is so sleepy you walked right into it. kennedy kennedy you want to reach out and show you can work with the other side talk about john mccain and mike pence. >> doug: i think this is where it needs to go. he blew it by talking about eastland -- >> greg: he talked about him

before a lot. >> doug: i know that. >> jesse: he has been telling the same story for years. >> greg: he is now in a new world where it doesn't matter. >> doug: up next new drama in the jussie smollett case and dominican officials down play the wave of mysterious play the wave of mysterious deaths. my experience with usaa

>> kennedy: major developments in the jussie smollett saga it continues. a cook county judge is appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the case by chicago top prosecutor foxx as you remember her office dropped all charges against the actor a big surprise. he was accused of staging a hated crime attack on himself.

tough to do. the judge saying that foxx did not have the right to assign her top deputy to lead the case after she colloquially recused herself in a statement foxx said that she degree disagrees with e judge's decision. emily, this is really fascinating, you are a lawyer, can you explain this better. i was wondering if there was some double jeopardy here but the special prosecutor said no they can reopen the case and jussie smollett can be charged once again with all 16 counts fewer or even more. >> yes, and anyone else that has been caught up in this can be charged as well. i want to point out for viewers a couple things. number one, the judge, judge came out swinging at kim foxx. he said essentially that the phrase she used the acting states attorney basically was made up in her imagination and, therefore, this is the important part, the arrest, the subsequent prosecution and the dropping of all charges, therefore, is inexplicable.

it's like wiping the slate clean all moot. like it restores the entire situation back to the original place. secondly, there is a whole host of concurrent investigations happening. and here the defense was arguing well, look we are duplicating the efforts of the inspector general judge consume minute said you are not. for viewers we have inspector general. we have now a special prosecutor. the fbi investigating the hoax. we have the city of chicago lawsuit against jussie for costs and then don't forget sued attorneys. she blamed her ethics officer on it and she ran on that platform of i am going to instill an ethics officer and bring ethics back to the city of chicago. >> kennedy: other than the fact that this is high profile actor and the whole case is weird we are still so fascinated with this. >> doug: we are. and not with understanding, emily, what you say, jussie smollett. >> jesse: jussie.

>> doug: sorry. they are not going to ignore or drop the double jeopardy argument. this case is going to take a while if it ever comes to trial. and there will be substantial arguments that it is double jeopardy and my hunch is we might get a plea out of this for a very modest offense. >> the way he was talking about it. he felt like he was scot-free. i'm my mother's son and everyone knows that i would never do anything like this. the real attackers are out there. >> jesse: this is why americans think the whole system is rigid because michelle obama's former chief of staff makes a dual foxx and he gets a sweetheart deal. comey gives hillary a sweetheart deal. stacks the team with 19 democrats. celebrities paying cash bribes to get their kids into school. sneaky snipes messing around with the vote count. all bogus if you are a regular american working hard you feel like if you are not someone politically connected or rich, you can't really work the system in

your favor. that's why people are obsessed with the story and they want top see jussie pay a price. >> kennedy: lori loughlin is not going to prison. >> greg: i think jesse came up with book proposal. you just did your table of contents i have to hand it to jussie smollett he didn't just sink his own career but the show empire and destroying kim foxx's. he is like that paint canister that bank tellers slip into the money bag and give to the bank robbers almost there and the whole thing explodes and covered in paint. my solution for him and i have said this before he should come clean and meet with the people that he smeared. he smeared these imaginary maga supporters. if he actually did a meet with actual trump supporters, that could go towards a certain path of forgiveness. >> kennedy: speaking of forgiveness it seems like we don't have a lot right now for the dominican republic. we have been following this story the d.r. tourist minister calling the rash of

deaths exaggerated at a news conference earlier fox news confirms two more americans have died during recent vacations in recent years there the daughter of one of them slamming the dominican official. watch this. >> i don't understand how somebody can see what you is 11 deaths now. they all have somewhat of the same cause. they are all the same area. he is claiming that you know, this can happen anywhere. i completely agree heart attacks can happen anywhere and bad things can happen anywhere but where else are we seeing almost 11 cases of almost the same thing in the same area it's the dominican. >> kennedy: jeff paul is in santa da ming go with the latest, jeff? >> we were in that room as that tourism minister tried to explain what was going on to a room packed for of national and international journalists summed this up as basically an exaggeration saying most of the situation has been fueled by

speculation. he also says that the dominican republic has nothing to hide and that it was the d.r. who reached out to the fbi to help in this situation. the major concern for them at the moment, at least one of them is the tourism. that's a lifeblood for this caribbean island. we did at one point get a chance to ask this minister of tourism what he would say to the families of those 11 tourists who have died in a span of 12 -- the past 12 months from june of last year to june of this year, he says while he is sympathetic to those families who have lost loved ones he fact does not believe there is any sort of mystery surrounding the deaths. now, the big thing that we're all waiting for and it seems like this entire island of people are waiting for are the result of these toxicology tests of three of the americans who have died. these are the tests that the fbi is involved in assisting with we might not get those results until next month. kennedy? >> kennedy: all right, jeff, thanks so much. greg, i want to start with you. because, they have been, a lot of these families have been pressured to cream mate

their loved ones. and the government has not administered toxicology tests to a majority of these victims. >> greg: that is infuriating. i watched the interview with that young woman and about the fact that they were just saying the toxicology will be in the death certificate. can you just sign this here so we can get rid of the body? it is pretty outrageous. the problem right now, the dr has a point about speculation. we are in this fog of media blather. i don't know what is going on. i think the most obvious thing is it was a bad batch of cheap booze that was sold to these places. >> jesse: or espionage. [laughter] >> greg: jesse has the espionage. you go. >> jesse: first of all, i feel terrible for jeff who drew that assignment in the d.r. he might be stuck down there for weeks if this story keeps up. i would like to take a look at that expense report when he gets back. disappointed today to find out that my own handy man has violated my travel ban. he was fixing my sink today answered told me is going to

the d.r. with 18 people and totally ignored all my warnings. did he say he was going to do one thing. he said he is buying all the booze at the duty free place. not touch the mini bar. i'm glad he is heeding some of our warning. >> doug: couple weeks ago for a business trip to go to the d.r. i said thanks but no thanks. and i have friends of might have been similarly who are going come hell or high water. >> jesse: like bob menendez. >> kennedy: the perception is this is a deadly place to take a vacation and people who have their tourist dollars to spend might just go spend them somewhere else. >> kennedy: that's why it was so surprising that the minister of tourism is saying unequivocally no mysterious death. he should give a couple inches. we are working on it. why will get back to you. our condolences and more credibility we could extend to them. not just about the booze. these toxicants might have ininhaled or topical or

ingested. >> doug: that can'ting ruled out. >> emily: exactly. >> kennedy: the fbi will do much more work on this. shame for the family who have no recourse at this point. >> doug: a tragedy. >> kennedy: fastest seven coming up next. fight at an airport, costly divorce and foods. don't go anywhere. ♪ "curiouser and curiouser," said alice.
