mature. you can bet that i will be all over this on my shell, making money on the fox business network. please tune in. got your back. so does the five. they start right now. ♪ steve or hello. i'm dana perino along with emily and greg. this is "the five" ." ♪ >> dana: a barrage of over 200 bullets flying for nearly two hours in philadelphia. >> send an additional car immediately. stay for the high stakes standoff finally ending. the police chief saying it's a miracle none of them were kille killed. the scene outside the house

where a narcotic boston turned into a wildfire fight. two cops ended up getting trapped inside. they were eventually rescued. we are learning about his criminal history. burglary, assault, illegal gun possession, and attempted murde murder. he says the gunmen should not have been on the streets. he made it harder for police by haggling crowds, one officer even being hit by an object. [crowd reacts and bracket sleep for as this news was breaking, you were one of the first people i wanted to hear from. >> yeah, so this was an area that i knew. it's near temple university. if you go up broad street it is

the main artery in the city of philadelphia. what you had here was the shutdown where you had an incredible shoot-out in a high population area. there's a lot of risk involved that goes beyond the primary shoot-out. there's a lot of people. i read this morning there was a day care center for like 30 plus children right next door. so this is the kind of thing that happens in the big city, and you forget how difficult it is, not only for the police, but for the residence. he was a man that was in the residential building there. there are people trapped to just live there and some dominic suddenly, some guy shooting. >> dana: from a law enforcement angle, emily, what you think about this? he should not have been out on the streets. >> emily: 100%. i don't think you have to come from a criminal justice background to see that rap sheet and the criminal justice system

totally failed everyone in that town. thankfully, no one was killed. that footage of getting heckled by the crowd, the data supported concept that our law enforcement agencies are being decimated. in three years, we lost 23,000. in recruitment and retention, all over the place. i think that level of stress we are seen, just yesterday, we lost an nypd officer to suicide. that is the ninth this year. our law enforcement officers not only deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. those ranks are stressed. >> dana: can we took a look at kamala harris? senator booker, both commenting on this issue last night.

>> when will it stop? right? we need congress to act. we do not lack for good ideas. we do not lack for tragedies. i will get congress 100 days. >> often the voices you hear are calling for gun safety are police officers wanting it to happen. their lives are getting increasingly dangerous. >> dana: i thought that was interesting, because you have a senator booker who was experiencing violence and try to address it. i thought kamala harris' answer was interesting, because she is a prosecutor. >> jesse: to politicize this while police officers are getting their wounds tended to, it's totally reckless. how would gun control stop this at all? he's not even allowed to have a weapon. he scratched out the serial number to another gun.

it's not like he wanted to a licensed arm dealer in philadelphia and passed a background check. it's just going to make the guys who use them for sport can't use them. the bad guys are still going to get them. it's the d.a. and it's the judge that totally fell flat on their face. if you have a guy with 30 charges in ten years, attempted murder, escaped from prison, drugs and weapons. that's not even including his juvenile record. everything gets plowed down. he doesn't spend a lot of time. he gets probation and all that. you think, what are they doing their? one of the reasons people are upset is that mary has downgraded a lot of these charges. he got $1.7 million. he is a justice kind of guy. what kind of a deal is he making with these judges where the guy gets really no hard time? it's sickening and it's irresponsible. arms charges, guys that do that

have a very high rate of, almost as high as child molesters. if you do it once, you're probably going to do it again. saving babies from a day care center, and then you have the community throwing things and heckling. it was totally, it was sad. and you don't like to see that. >> dana: the police chief gave a press conference, greg. he's so sincere and so measured, and quite a leader. i thought, wow. that's a public service that you would really want. >> greg: obviously, not all of philadelphia is like this. i think we live in a time where police continue to be portrayed in media as. here they are, in their community, protecting their community from a madman.

they should be going after that guy and not the people that are protecting them from that guy. i'm really surprised that a hard and violent criminal is ignoring gun laws. the story to your point, emily is how you arrest people if you don't keep them in jail. it's a revolving door. we talk about prison reform, prisons do serve a purpose. you put people away who should it be on the street. the good news is that we put a lot of people in prison and violent crime has been going down decade by decade. i know that joe biden doesn't like to admit that he had a role in that, but getting violent people off the street isn't a bad thing. >> juan: i think violent crime is going down, especially in philadelphia. the other thing to say is that this guy is not the drug cal ca.

he is a street criminal with a long rap sheet, right? i just want to say, kudos to the police for their restraint, because you can imagine the kind of anger directed at someone who has attempted and in fact succeeded in shooting police. i'm just so pleased, and hats off. i'm amazed, jesse, when people try to politicize the tragedy. you save the litter size, i think they politicized it the other way. >> jesse: like i said, if you issue a gun-control law, there's no way that you would have kept that gun out of that criminals hands. before we have president trump, leaving the white house making a few remarks. >> president trump: we are going to have a long period of wealth and success. as you know, china is doing very poorly. the tariffs have really bitten into china.

except for the reporters who want to make it look that way, but they don't understand what's happening. the tariffs, we've taken in close to $60 billion in tariff money. the consumer has not paid for it. now, at some point, they might have to pay something. who really understands that is our great farmer, the farmers of this country really understand that we need to do something about china and we are doing sot china. with that being said, i think we are having very good discussions with china. they very much want to make a deal. we'll see what happens. we made a deal and they decided not to make it. now i think that they would like to have that opportunity again. i think they really missed the great opportunity. i think they feel that they made a missed a great opportunity. >> >> president trump: i'm only

involved from the standpoint that they are very anti-jewish y anti-israel. i think it's disgraceful the things they've said. this is not just a one line mistake. what they said about israel and jewish people is a horrible thing, and they've become the face of the democrat party. so i did absolutely put out a very strong statement. i think if you look at their language, if you look at what they've said, if i ever said it, it would be a horrible, it would be a horrible month, to put it mildly. the things that they've said, omar, khalid. i can't imagine why israel would let the men, but if they want to let the men, they can, but i can't imagine why they would do it. >> do you worried that a trade war will pitch the economy into a recession? >> president trump: no. billions and billions of dollar

dollars. i think the longer it goes, the stronger we get. i have a feeling it's going to be, china has lost millions of jobs. thousands of companies are closing in china. i don't know. maybe they want to do this. they'd love to have someone like biden, who doesn't know what he's doing. he said, oh, we want to build up china. we want to build up china. they give us a very strong china. china has taken over $500 billion a year for many years from our government. that's not going to happen anymore. >> how concerned are you about a violent crackdown by the chinese in hong kong? >> president trump: i am concerned. i put a metal out last night. i said that i get along with him very well. president xi. if he sat down with the

protesters, a group of representative protesters, i bet he'd work it out in 15 minutes. i bet he'd work it out very quickly. i know it's not the kind of thing he does, but i don't think it would be a bad idea. i really believe that if he got down, had a leadership role, if he should dominic sat down with that leadership role, i believe he'd work something out very qu. i don't want to comment about who i spoke to, but i think my social media statement pretty well speaks for itself. i feel that they are so anti-israel, so anti-jewish. again, if other people made that statement, there would have been hell to pay. but i did speak to people. >> china has so that they want to retaliate, that they are going to retaliate because of the tariffs. what is your response to that? >> president trump: if they did retaliate, which i don't think they will do, i don't think they'll retaliate, but if

they did, we have the ultimate form of retaliation. i think there are very few jobs left in china, because we'd be able to step it up. just so you understand, i've been very mild about it. very, very mild. there's a long way i can go, and somebody had to take on what was happening with china. we can't allow china to take out of our country $507 million every year. , not including intellectual property and so many other things. we are having very good talks with china. i think things will happen, but we'll see. >> if they do retaliate, do you want your team to meet with them in september as planned? >> president trump: the meeting is still on, as i understand it. they would like to do something. i will tell you that. the talk we had a few days ago with my two representatives, nobody knew what was on that talk except for myself, china, and those two people.

that was a very good conversation. >> cut interest rates? >> president trump: every country all over the world is cutting. i don't mind if we are higher. we are at better credit, but we are way too high. he raised them too fast, and he also quantitated, quantitative tightening. that was a big mistake. $50 billion a month. they put us in a position, and interestingly, even with normalized interest rates, president obama was pay nothing. we have a much better economy. you have to look at our economy, also, from the day after my election. because we picked up tremendous steam the day after the election. that's not attributable to president obama. they only did that because of u us. not from january 20th. it's from november 9th, the day after the election. we picked up. the fact that i one, lifted our

economy greatly. if i didn't win, it would go down. frankly, if, for some reason, that happened in the 2020 election, you'll see this economy go down the tubes. i will tell you that right now. stay good you have any idea on when china is going to follow through on their purchases and crackdown on patanol? >> president trump: they want to follow through very quickly. they had a special representative actually come over and talk to us. they want to start doing that very quickly. i'll be honest. i'm not there yet. not china. i'm not there yet. we'll see what happens. i really would like to see china any humane way to solve the in hong kong. humanely solve the problem in hong kong. i think they can do it very

quickly. i said yesterday, i really have a lot of confidence in president xi. i know if he sat down with the representatives, i have no doubt he would solve that problem quickly. >> did you encourage them to reject the congressman? is mike i don't encourage or discourage. i think that if israel allowed them to come in for normal reasons other than those reasons, i really believe that it would be at present, terrible thing for israel. they want to do boycotts. they've said horrible things about jewish people. they've said horrible things about israel and israelis. i think it went would be a tere thing to let these people who speak so badly about israel come in. the democrats don't want to do anything to condemn them. if they were, if this were ten years ago or if this were may be

a different time or a different people whatever, they would be condemned for the things they've said. they've said some of the worst things i've ever heard thought about israel. so how can israel say, all, welcome. i don't think it will be a good thing for israel. >> do you think that he needs to resign? >> president trump: i don't know the situation with steve king. supposedly, i haven't been briefed on it, but it wasn't a very good statement. >> i think you are going to meet johnson. are you going to have some declaration about your intent to seal a trade deal with him? >> president trump: we are going to have a great deal made. i just spoke to him yesterday. i'll speak to him again. he and i are are very much aligned. we feel very good about each other. i think we will make a fantastic trade deal with the u.k.

we should do much more business than we're doing with the u.k. they are probably, i don't want to say our closest, because i don't want to insult other people, but certainly they are one of our closest allies. we are going to have a fantastic relationship with the u.k. and we are have done my going to have a great trade deal. we have a lot of things to discuss. a lot of things to discuss. i don't know. corey lewandowski, i think would be terrific if he ran. but i don't know if he's going to run. i spoke to him about a week ago. frankly, i think it's something he'd like to do. but i don't know if he's going to do it. i think you'd be very good. he loves new hampshire. he loves our country. if he did, i think it would be very formidable. we are going to look at that very closely. we are looking at the whole gun situation. i do want people to remember the

words mental illness. these people are mentally ill. nobody talks about that. but these are mentally ill people. people have to start thinking about it. if you look at the 60s and 70s, so many of these institutions were closed. the people were just allowed to go onto the streets. that was a terrible thing for our country. they closed them. cities couldn't afford them, and they closed them. i can tell you, in new york, they closed a lot of them. people went out. they went onto the streets. it's a terrible thing. but a lot of our conversation has to do with the fact that we have to open up institutions. we can't let these people be on the street. so we have a tremendous crowd in new hampshire. it's all over the place. everybody's saying, wow. our competitor has virtually no crowd. i don't know what that means.

but i think we are going to do very well in new hampshire. new hampshire should have been won last time. except we had a lot of people, and at the last moment, which was a rather strange situation. thousands and thousands of people coming in from locations unknown. but i knew where the location was. i think we are going to have a tremendous success in new hampshire. these are great people. the relationship is very good. we are looking at it. i feel very badly. we are looking at it very strongly. people feel very strongly about it. i wanted to see where the democrats stood. where the dominant dominant republican stood. he has been there for seven and a half years. that's a long time. what he did was terrible. but it's a long time. it's a long time.

>> background checks? >> president trump: i've been dealing with mitch mcconnell as a man who we have had tremendous success with appointments. we are going to be up to 179 federal judges within the next two months. nobody would have believed that was possible. that's because president obama was unable to get them completed. i inherited about 1:30 eight empty seats. nobody can believe it. we will have them almost all filled with tremendous charges. they will be filled within three months. two supreme court justices. that's something that nobody would have ever thought possible. i want to think very much president obama for that. >> i want to ask you about background checks. >> president trump: i have been speaking to mitch about that. i've been speaking to everyone about it. we don't want to see crazy

people owning guns. but i also want to remember that mental illness is something that nobody wants to talk about. these people are mentally ill and we have to study that also. because, it's them. the gun doesn't pull the trigger. they pulled the trigger. we have to look very seriously at mental illness and we are doing that at a level that hasn't been done before. >> the senate majority leader. is there anyone else you are talking to? >> president trump: i'll tell you, it's been an amazing experience. they want to see something happen, and basically, it's very simple. they don't want to have insane people, dangerous people, really bad people having guns. republicans agree with me i would say pretty much uniformly. i'm afraid that if we came up with a good deal, i think the democrats then might op it and

then do things that can't be done and that the public when it want done. i hope that when it happened, but that's happened in the past. >> do support universal background checks? >> president trump: i support strong meaningful background checks were that people who are insane, people who are mentally ill, people who are bad, bad people, like this guy in philadelphia, who has been arrested multiple times, he's a bad guy. where people like that would not have guns. frankly, people like that should be locked up. he shouldn't have even been on the streets. thank you. thank you very much. >> was not who you talked to in china? >> president trump: i will speak to him. we have a call schedule soon. we will be speaking to him very soon. i really believe that he can work it out. i know him well. if he wants to, he can work it out and everybody's happy.

>> dana: president trump, taking many questions. he is boarding air force one now. he is going to go to manchester, new hampshire. he has a rally at 7:00 p.m. one of them, greg was israel's decision to deny the two congresswomen from minnesota and michigan entry into israel. he talked about that and you were listening. >> greg: part of me says, okay, that once again allows them to play the victim. however, i'm not going to invite someone into my house knowing that they are going to break the dishes. the people that are helping to organize this trip do do not le israel. they don't like them at all. they are going there, and they are going there to [bleep] it up. i don't want you in my house if you're going to be rude to my family, you're going to break things, you're going to throw up on the rug and on the soap sof.

it's an analogy, dana. do i need to point that out? it's a dictatorship and a metaphor. >> juan: i was going to say, what is a dictatorship? c4 he also talked a lot about trade. anything that stuck out to you? >> jesse: yeah, the china situation. it's been that way for decades. trump is the first president to actually take bold action. right now they can just shove exports down our throat and we can barely sell anything there. over the last two decades, it's created a huge vacuum in this country. all we want to do is this. keep the deal simple so that they don't cheat and get it done as. some of these manufacturing

states we are winning. i'm sorry. because they manipulate their currency, we are paying a little bit more here, but not as much as we could be. >> dana: they have so much more buying power. like if they catch a cold, the rest of the world might get pneumonia. >> juan: i think that what's on his mind as the shooting stuff. he mentioned philadelphia and said that the guy had a long record. apparently he's aware. i think, from what i understand, he is really stuck on trying to do something in terms of gun control. what you heard here today was him saying, well, i don't know. what about mental health? well, there is no connection between people who have mental health issues or video games and mass shootings. but he is perpetrating this, i

think, because he's having trouble getting the nra and getting the republicans in congress on board for some real action. in fact, the nra has told him that it's going to cost him. the fox poll said 50% of americans said that easy access to guns is to blame for mass shootings. 90%, folks, say that background checks -- >> dana: we also know that the white house is making phone calls to several members of congress. >> greg: he is afraid that if he acts, it will have political damage to his base. >> dana: you could also call that gathering information. emily. >> emily: i feel like that was an acknowledgment that it's a multifaceted issue and the end.

there's a ton of things he's going to talk about. he said, no, i'm going to stay in new hampshire. unemployment is down to 2.5%. among the lowest it's ever been. since his administration, we have 20,000 jobs that have been added. i think he was getting warmed up and talking about everything. before he was indeed. while that is happening, we have a fox news alert for you. dale earnhardt jr. has been hospitalized, following a plane crash. >> dana, we can confirm that dale earnhardt jr. was with his wife and another passenger along with two pilots. a 10 feet twin engine train crashed in eastern tennessee. that's in bristol, tennessee. if you don't know the area, we are talking about halfway between charlotte and knoxville. the plane, by the way, if you see the pictures of the smoke,

the plane had about a thousand gallons of fuel on board. authorities say a significant amount of that leak. you can see that from the fire. the status that looks, we are being told right now that dale earnhardt jr., his wife and young daughter and all the passengers suffered only minor injuries. there was some video showing dale earnhardt jr.. they were putting a neck brace around his neck. it appeared that he was lifting his head on his own. his sister, also his business partner, kelly earnhardt tweeted the following. "i can confirm that they were involved in a crash in bristol, tennessee. everyone is safe and has been taken to the hospital for further evaluation. we have no further information at this time. thank you for understanding." >> we do not know the severity of the injuries, but we do know

that everyone who was on the plane got off the plane. those who don't know, of course, dale earnhardt jr., 18 year career, 12 daytona 500's. he went on to win. 40th of all time in nascar. the reason he was flying to bristol. with his wife and his 1-year-old daughter. the latest reports are that they all got off the plane and there are only minor injuries. when you see the smoke like that, and if you saw other pictures of the plane itself, which came in and rolled off the end of the runway, you would be surprised that anybody walked away from that. we'll have much more breaking information on the crash of dale earnhardt jr.'s plane. remember, his father died in a crash at the daytona 500 back and told him i 2001.

>> dana: trace gallagher, thank you so much. up next. >> i am now more suspicious than ever that this could be a homicide. >> dana: the new revelations that are making everyone even more skeptical about epstein's death. when you're not able to smile, you become closed off.

it can be other, rather. it can be a homicide or suicide. that hasn't been confirmed. i am more suspicious than ever that this could be a homicide. >> jesse: his cellmate "roughed him up" leaving him unconscious. so greg, when this happened, i was thinking that he definitely hung himself, because he's not the kind of individual that wants to face life behind bars. but now, this is suspicious. >> greg: yeah, this is the greatest story for the media, because it has those magical words. it raises more questions it's like 24. at the end of every episode, they introduce another twist. i also think that it's a good therapeutic drug for people coming off the collusion addiction. this is their methadone. with got another conspiracy. but my possible explanation is

that those bones were broken when he hung himself. it's a boring explanation. so my alternative one, a russian all the him with bill clinton's blue dress. i hate to disagree -- he hung himself. >> juan: i immediately thought, hmm. i looked up the facts. the facts are that people who are older, it's been found that they are more likely, when they hang themselves, to break bones in their neck. there was a study done in thailand, one in peru, another in england. they all come up with the same thing. i think he was 64. it's more likely to happen. the other thing that is interesting though, is i did not know about the ex-cop, who looks like a tremendous body builder, who's been been convicted of killing people here . if that's the guy who is beating

him up, that guy could do some damage. >> juan: yeah, a lot of people are probably pretty happy about that. what you think? >> emily: suspicious. my point is that, with the deaths that i saw, there's never any dignity in death, and truth is often stranger than fiction. obviously, i'm not a doctor, but i've seen my share of totally weird things. anything is possible, but at the same time, yes, colonel mustard in the library with a rope. maybe that's the simplest thing. i think, bottom line, there's more information. that raises more questions. >> juan: the totality of some of these irregularities, like the transfer of the cellmate, being taken off suicide watch, and then there was the shrink. >> greg: it's the guards.

pictures. it looks like the guy who was actually trying to help lost his leg just for trying to help. i'm wondering, how scared were you? how do you think this is scaring off other people, who may be in a normal situation would help, but they have so much for your of disease or anything like that that they just want to stay away. >> emily: that's a great question. i think this is frankly an issue that isn't talked about as much. i am so glad and grateful that we are airing it here. from what we hear often times from city officials coming out of l.a., it's a sky rocketing property value issue. i think it's minimized. i also think that when people say that they want to help, since they are not boots on ground, they they have no idea. >> juan: i think the mayor has said that there is a rats issue and a whole much issue emotionally, it is engaging. the second part is that it is

political. you have people who want to get something done about the rapidly rising amount of people who are living -- we see it here in new york. , d.c. and baltimore. to me, there is a political agenda here, which scares me. i've been at skin stomach skid row. that doesn't scare me. what scares me is that you demonize a very vulnerable population. you say, oh, you know what, these people are diseased. >> greg: that's not demonization. that's helping them. that idea is what prevents help. >> juan: i think what's evil is when you make a very vulnerable group or a homeless, mentally ill, or drug addicted, and you make them into the problem, instead of saying, we as a society have a moral obligation. >> emily: the city officials are talking about it just a

homeless issue. that totally takes away from the issue. tomorrow, we are going to air part two. that will focus on the officials who have created this situation. up next. ♪ fun fact: 1 in 4 of us millennials have debt we might die with. and most of that debt is actually from credit cards. it's just not right. but with sofi, you can get your credit cards right - by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. you can get your interest rate right - by locking in a fixed low rate today. and you can get your money right. with sofi. check your rate in 2 minutes or less. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k.
