anti-americanism, giving an advantage to iran. speak of this goes back to a release strategic decision that the president made. >> this is certainly not helpful. >> these are tough times and one worries whether the administration has the sort of horse power and brainpower to deal with them. >> dana: and msnbc piling on, calling the embassy attacked trump's benghazi. other outlets under fire for labeling the iranian backed militants as just protesters. to "the new york times" is also facing similar criticism for describing the attackers as mourners. a former benghazi team member is blasting the benghazi comparison. >> it's not really similar at all. it's not another benghazi. it's not even trump's benghazi appeared to me, it is not even close to benghazi. all personnel were evacuated. there was no investor they are to be killed like they left the investor in benghazi. >> dana: lawrence, there

wouldn't be comparisons to benghazi if there wasn't a benghazi. and it really is not comparable. >> lawrence: at all. there's a difference between a riot, he was also there, and coordinated attack and the response was also different. there were no lives lost. the fact is that president trump immediately and the defense department, the secretary of state all stepped in and made sure there were people there, the marines were already there, people were being shifted and nobody died. i just think this shows you how far the media is willing to go to give cover to democrats. and you'd think when it comes to national security, foreign policy, although we may have some differences, when it comes to attack, we should be unified. >> dana: you know probably more about this attack than anybody here so what do you think about the attempts to compare this. one of the things that happened

in benghazi was a videomaker got arrested and basically they did a walk of him saying the video sparked the attack when we know that wasn't true. >> marie: they are very different situations. the compound in baghdad is very well protected. a better comparison to benghazi was an attack earlier in the trump administration when four members of the administration were killed in a very botched operation. i don't think the comparison is fair here. some people in the clips weren't talking about benghazi, they were talking about what president trump strategy is vis-a-vis iran and whether he has one, frankly. my concerns are not about the benghazi, it's about much of what trump administration has done in iran, the ig feels like they should encourage their militias in iraq and syria to do this and we have to figure out

how to respond. the israelis have taken a lot of kinetic action against shiite militias backed by iran but they do it much more quietly because they are trying to send a message but not provoke some of the outrage we've seen on the ground which can put some of our people in harm's way's. the result of that is we don't of people on the ground doing american diplomacy. >> dana: they are there to help protect them but one reason iran has been able to train up all these other militias is because they got hi a lot of moy during the obama administration. >> tom: what difference at this point doesn't make? >> dana: callback, that is a call back right there. >> tom: i want to shame the media on this because the headlines from it looks like "the washington post" and "the new york times," they have to differentiate between -- there are protests in iraq six october. this is what you've seen on

twitter, i am one of the real protesters, i've been protesting this government because they are very angry in iraq, they want reforms. they came in and piggybacked on those protests and the meeting needs to differentiate and they are not doing their job. >> dana: the administration has done that but we have some sounds here from president president trump -- i'm like, emily? i looked up and i was like, i'm going to remember your name. i don't even know what day of the week it is, actually. we've been working during the holidays and if you're like me you are like, is it friday? as of monday? i have no idea. take a look at president trump, who obviously knows what day it is. >> we had some great warriors come in, do a fantastic job. they were there instantaneously. as soon as we heard, i used the word immediately. they came in immediately. great shape. as you know, this will not be a benghazi. benghazi never should have

happened. this will never, ever be a benghazi. >> emily: it is not comparable on any level. we have made efforts not to back iranian militias as we have been fighting isis this whole time, and the continued aggression will not be tolerated. i agree with you that there is a bit of nebulous notes and strategy in the past couple of years but the bottom line is we have taken that hard line stance with a very articulable position that will serve us well in the long term. i think the iraqi government, obviously they are in a difficult position but regardless, they need to take a stance, they need to protect our embassy, and to your point not to jump issues but about the uighur murder in china, they say -- they are no stranger to the fact that all of their headlines or absolutely ludicrous at times

where we deserve political specificity. final point, my friend had out to baghdad on behalf of the u.s. government. he said he flew commercial and the woman who checked him and was like, are you aware of what is going on right now? he says, more than the average bear. >> dana: he's pretty well aware. >> lawrence: "the new york times" also returned to these terrorists, protesters, whatever you want to call them, as mourners. what were they morning question like the fact that they got attacked? you are morning that? >> emily: yes, they were, but to tom's point, the people on the ground that are protesting outside our embassy are a bunch of different people. some are mourners, some are protesting. >> lawrence: but these are bad guys getting killed, right? >> emily: yes, they are there bad guys. they are in a tough position because they want this place to be safe. they want our embassy to be safe. they also see these air strikes

as an imposition on their sovereignty. they're trying to play this game where they are trying not to allow people to come into their airspace and do these things but they also don't like these a running back militias. they are trying to play the middle space and that is hard for the government we want to be strong going forward. >> dana: comparisons to benghazi that early. the types of comparisons we saw that jumped the gun, makes me think they never understood what happened in benghazi in the first place. there is a great movie called "13 hours." catch it over the weekend even though it's only thursday. president trump getting a big boost for 2020 while democrats continue to take aim at each other. we will tell you about it next.

>> lawrence: gang goes to a larger point, is joe biden out of touch? >> dana: he raised $22.7 million, which i understand with a little bit higher-than-expected but still, you look at bernie sanders, $35 million. this guy had a heart attack two months ago. he's got the aoc endorsement and that seems to give him a lot of momentum. i saw a breakdown earlier, he said in his campaign that a lot of campaign contributions came from employees of amazon, which is money because apparently internally, the bernie sanders campaign, how did we spend $35 million? they get mad if anyone orders office supplies from amazon because amazon is an evil corporate giant. the thing is, president trump will have an advantage over democrats no matter what. he's an incumbent, he's going to have so much money, and they are divided, but that could all change a month from tomorrow when you start to see if the

field can coalesce around a certain candidate but right now, i would say, if i were the democrats, i would be kind of worried. >> lawrence: biden is still leading in the polls but you have mayor pete raising $24.7 million? should democrats be concerned about mayor pete surging right now? >> marie: know. i think what's interesting is we all learned the lesson in 2016 that having the most money doesn't make you a winner. hillary clinton had a lot more money than donald trump your money doesn't equal victory. joe biden's competitive with these numbers. what's interesting, a couple points, elizabeth warren really tanking. she had a surge, she was going up and up in the polls and she is flatlining. >> lawrence: why do you think she's thinking? >> marie: i don't know, it's a good question. she maybe thought she could steal from the burning folks but the resurgence of bernie sanders. as dana said, he had a literal heart attack on the campaign trail but if you look at how much democrats are willing to invest in this cycle, if you add up all the numbers come whoever

the nominee is is going to be very well-funded. democrats are focused, they're willing to spend for the senate race, the house. they are very invested in the cycle over all. >> lawrence: it seems like the impeachment bush is backfiring on democrats because the trump campaign is still raising money. $50 million they were able to raise. is that a problem for them? >> marie: i think so, absolutely. a predictable one. there is that civil war of how to approach impeachment and president trump. all that does is galvanize the other side of the equation. i think it's also interesting that, we just got our numbers, in quarter one, two of the three highest fund-raising democratic candidates are no longer in the race, which is really interesting. and i would like to make a point about julian castro dropping out. every run is obviously a vanity project but his is off the charts, way more so. this is not the last we've heard from him and i think "the new york times" in 2014 said it best, which is basically

that ever since he was the first latino to give the keynote speaking address at the convention that he and his twin brother have been seeking ways to stay on the national stage, to stay on the national radar and they will continue to do that. >> lawrence: how do you think impeachment is going for the democrats now? >> tom: the democrats are saying the president has been able to fund raise off that but it's been very effective for him, also getting tons of small donors. who's getting the small donors? i'm assuming it's burning. maybe he gets some small donors but from my experience, when i'm driving around, the people with those big mansions, they've got a mayor pete thing sticking out of their lawn. rich people love that guy. i don't know why but they do. >> dana: do think it is partly generational with pete? >> lawrence: may be. i do think he has a lot more relatable to a lot of young people but i think he doesn't come off as very authentic.

it seems like they pull everything that he says. >> marie: love people love bernie too though. it doesn't make any sense to me. >> lawrence: but you have someone that is closer to their age that is more relatable than bernie. >> emily: and a lot of democrats are looking for the next obama and pete may be closest. there will never be a next obama, there will never be another one and that is okay. >> emily: there are a lot of republicans that like pete as well. i see a lot of space for him in seattle. i think he kind of has a wider spectrum of appeal to people. >> tom: seattle, land of never trumper republicans. >> lawrence: the democrats are eventually going to have to pave it from impeachment. from a communication standpoint, how can they pave it? candidates are not talking about impeachment but they are basically being asked to run a marathon with 20-pound weights around their ankles. the weights are the impeachment. now it's advantage republicans, and even mitch mcconnell is

besting pelosi. we will see that changes come about from a communication standpoint it looks like a real loser. >> lawrence: i think they have to blame the progressive wing of the party. i think nancy pelosi, a strategy, she did not want to do this. i think she was kind of pushed by the aocs of the world and that progressive caucus and even the maxine waters. >> marie: the moderates put them over the topic as it was about national security. the moderate said we don't want to do this politically but we feel like we have to. >> lawrence: we've got to leave it there appeared a new year's eve food fight erupts between mayor bill de blasio and domino's pizza. we will tell you all about annexed on "the five." ♪ if i built a van, it would do more than haul. if i built a van, it would carry my entire business. i'd make it available in dozens... make that thousands of configurations. it would keep an eye on my fleet... ...and an eye out for danger. with active brake assist. if i built a van, i'd make it available in diesel and gas.

♪ >> marie: is a new year and new laws in blue states across the country are causing controversy, like in illinois where thousands of people lined up in chicago to buy marijuana on new year's day. even the state's lieutenant governor showed up to get some pot. but there are very excited about it. >> better than christmas when i got my barbie dream house. it's great. >> [bleep] some edibles, some wax, some dabs. >> i just like the feeling of

being high, i guess. >> marie: illinois is now the 11th state where pot is legal. pulling over the country routinely has gone up and up in terms of people supporting the legalization of marijuana in the past few months for the first time a majority of republicans also support it. this is one of the issues where i feel like it is trending in that direction. what do you think? >> lawrence: have always supported it. actually, five years ago i turned over a new leaf. >> marie: so to speak. >> lawrence: nice play on words. i think there's a lot of misinformation that goes out there, and when you're talking about an administration that wants to combat the opiate crisis, is also this thing that i hate being said, that it is a gateway drug. that has also been disproven and i also think it is terrible that we have so many people locked up over pot when alcohol does more damage to the body than marijuana. i celebrate it.

>> marie: there you go. dana, one of the conversations that surrounded the legalization of marijuana issues has been about veterans, ptsd. he mentioned opioids but how marijuana can actually help people who are suffering from chronic pain or people like veterans who have real problems and they don't want to turn to pills. >> dana: i am for safety and being able to make their own decisions, have elections that go in the direction that people want to go, except that the federal government hasn't kept pace with that and we will see policywise, they're way behind. it gets a little confusing. i'm also just not woke enough to be up for this, i'm just not. i worry that this could be an experiment that goes bad in the long run. i know there's a lot of benefits, especially for a veteran, but the young woman that is lighting up there at 8:00, she can't wait. if she took a shot of whiskey at 8:00 in the morning would we all think that was cool? >> marie: are you not supposed to do that? kidding. i think you are welcome, by the

way. emily, you live in washington, a state that is very progressive when it comes to marijuana, so you have people in your community, these stores where you couldn't buy, what do you make of this? >> emily: mark >> emily: anticorruption california. i think we need to be specific for reviewers, illinois is the 11th state to legalize it recreationally. it's among 30 states that have legalized it for medicinal purposes. this kind of dovetails into your question for dana, moving forward, you could say this is a win for citizens, sure, in that it is reflecting a trend that polin has indicated. that being said, the federal government has not caught up so we are frankly still confused. and legislatively we are still confused and secondly, remember where this is coming from. it's all about the government seeing a dollar that you have is a dollar of lost income to them. this is all about the amount of the share they can recruit from each state. that is also why out-of-state residents in illinois, what they

are able to purchase is half the quantity that in-state residents can. there's a lot of additional things about this, and about the information, we place a lot of stock on fda approval in the federal government attachment to things where there's a whole host of other sources that are probably far more cutting edge and reliable that would help educate people so they have less fear and worry about it becoming legalized. >> dana: on day one in illinois nearly $3.2 million of pot products were sold, to emily's point about the dollars behind us. this is big business in many states. >> tom: and they want the tax revenue but i think we are very goofy about it. we don't have perspective. we just had a federal ban on vaping products. cigarettes are now almost illegal. in many states they are more illegal than pot -- >> dana: more expensive than a domino's pizza new year's eve. >> tom: you can't smoke -- in my co-op there is a guy who smokes and he has to leave the

property and go down the street to smoke and he can't smoke in front, so we're making all these restrictions on tobacco and now we are embracing pot like it is this kind of magical thing. it's going to cause problems and people are going to say, big pot like big tobacco and they're going to be complaining about that. people who are against these laws, they say it is just like big tobacco and you probably will be, just give it some time. >> dana: another interesting law that went into effect on january 1st, judges in new york will no longer be setting money bales for most misdemeanors including many drug offenses like the kind we were just talking about. under the new law, thousands of people in jail awaiting trial on veil will be released. it is been a big debate in this country about whether cash bail is fair or not. you shouldn't be able to get yourself out on bail only if you're rich. our criminal justice system is supposed to treat everyone equally. what do you make of this new l law? >> emily: i think it's a poor solution to a definable problem and i believe this state in

particular is a horrible solution. the two issues are that it removes judge's discretion to make the call whether that person is basically for public safety, that they can take that away. and secondly, the classification system of violent felonies. everyone accepts, they say this, but it doesn't apply to violent felonies. guess what is not a violent felony, a crime against a child from a home invasion burglary, stocking, a lot of other things that are pretty violent to me. i think this particular law is poorly executed and even before january 1st we had 25,000 defendants released because the judges were like, it's coming around the corner so might as well. >> marie: this is a problem that a lot of people are wrestling with. you shouldn't be able to get out on bail if you're rich and not if you're poor. >> lawrence: i've been fighting for criminal justice ever since i worked in the juvenile court and i realized the disparity that existed but i also agree with emily the judges should have some discretion.

i worked with a lot of judges before and they say i can't do it because the law requires me to do this. and it is true that a lot of poor people cannot afford bail but i also believe that people should only be imprisoned if they are a risk to society. this has become a moneymaking business, just like when we were talking about marijuana a while ago. part of the reason why this hasn't been repealed and people can just buy it is because of the pharmaceutical companies and they'vthey give so much money to politicians and stuff. we have to take money out of the stuff and out of the criminal justice system. when it comes to civil assets, people that continue to want assets because it funds police departments. that is not justice, that is you serving your own interests. the criminal justice system was not designed to serve government. it was to protect us all. >> dana: emily and lawrence know a lot more about this than i do. i basically pay my taxes and hope the government is going to

protect me, and i'm sort of new to criminal justice reform. i think one of the things i would look at is can any of this funding go to so you get people to get broken out of the cycle of going back to jail over and over again. >> tom: i would do a trade. if you're going to cut bail, and is going to be more defendants who are out awaiting their trial, then cut the time to the trial. it's like get them into the court system. don't let them out and then six months, a year goes by. i would make a deal. i will make a bail deal with you but you've got to get them into the trial faster. >> dana: get the concept of speedy to the criminal justice system. okay, don't go anywhere. stay tuned. patients that i see that complain about dry mouth. they feel that they have to drink a lot of water. medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth.

>> tom: pick up the guys a phone and whip it. up next, we've all seen plenty of stories of overprivileged millennials being coddled. it is when my top them all. a concerned parent report parent reportedly posted an ad on the job site indeed looking for a nanny to cook and clean for her daughter, an 18-year-old college student. the parent says the student can be bothered with the stress of laundry and cleaning as her study schedule is very intense. don't worry, the student already has a driver. that's nice. look, she has needs. emily? a concerned parent. >> emily: of course. first of all this lady better save the planet. she better be working on the cure for cancer and i will give her all the space she needs. she should join a sorority and all that stuff. >> tom: i was in a -- >> emily: hopefully not a sorority. >> dana: our fraternity. firing on all cylinders. >> tom: what is the mail

version? our fraternity. they had a cook, i made. >> dana: it really made an impact. >> lawrence: i don't actually like this. i think this parent, i know she was trying to crack a joke but my parents would've kicked me out. there is no negotiating with this. >> tom: you think she was joking? she was trying to hire a nanny for her 18-year-old daughter. >> lawrence: i think it is a joke but i think it is crazy. >> dana: i've lived in fear all day that this is about a person with special needs. >> tom: owned no peer dana, we will all be shamed! >> lawrence: i apologize in advanced. i love my job. >> tom: if people need help, she doesn't know how to cook, marie. >> marie: maybe someone needs a job it will be a match made in heaven. to each their own. >> tom: finally, don't mess with the pope.

>> tom: the pope blessing a woman with a slap on the hand after being grabbed while he was greeting a crowd on new year's eve. the pope later apologized for sending "a bad example" and losing his cool. but look at the woman who grabbed it -- i don't like the way she yanked on his arm. she deserved a little slap. >> emily: she deserved to get choked out by his security guard. that was so violent on her part, uncalled for. he is the pub, he is not i'm fine with him saying get off me. he doesn't need to apologize. the only sliver on the other point would be that he could let the security guards be the bad guys for him and he can let them do their job but if that had been me, when you watch the christmas eve midnight mass, there's more security for him than most people. >> lawrence: i say good for the pope. i am a hugger, i love hugging people all day but i hate when

people grabbed me. he puts me on the defensive. i just don't like it. it's like taking me away or something, i don't like it. >> lawrence: remember the video when they were going to kiss the ring and he kept pulling away customer and i think a bit of a germ phobia. >> dana: that is the hard thing if you are a poet. he is human, who knew. he never lost his cool, though. >> tom: i think it is okay. don't yank on the pope.
