for him in november. >> jesse: thank you very, very much. meanwhile in new jersey, the president will speak there later in tonight, we will see if he mentions what is happening in washington. he probably will. here comes "the five." ♪ >> jesse: hello, i am jesse watters along with kennedy, juan williams, dana perino, greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." president trump's legal team hitting back hard against democrats while wrapping up opening statements and the impeachment trial comes as liberals and the media continue to salivate over a book written by john bolton. the latest leak claims that bill barr was concerned that donald trump was doing favors

for autocrats but not so fast. the department of justice is disputing his account and saying it was grossly mischaracterized. here is the president's legal team responding. >> you cannot impeach a president on an unsourced allegation, responding to an unpublished manuscript that may be some reporters have an idea of what it says. that is the evidence, if you want to call that evidence, what do you call that? i call it inadmissible but that is what it is. there is no violation of law or the constitution, there is a disagreement on policy decisio decisions. the next president, or the one after that, he or she will be held to that same standard? >> jesse: and the president's lawyers ended their defense by using democrat's own words against impeachment. watch this.

>> we are permitting a constitutional coup d'etat which will haunt his body and our country forever! >> i warn my colleagues that you will reap the bitter harvest of the unfair partisan seeds you sow today. >> my fear is when a republican wins the white house, democrats will demand payback. >> you were right, but i'm sorry to say you were also prophetic. >> jesse: smart tactics to play that, and they said, even by the democrats' own standards he would have to impeach every single a president going back to george washington. how do you think they closed? >> dana: the last statement we just heard when he says you were prophetic. i was paying attention, i was sitting there for three hours. i thought he said "pathetic." i was like, wow, that was tough.

the thing is democrats could go find the same type of hippocratic statement from 20 years ago on the other side and it could go back and forth. we know that is exactly what happened, which was kind of the point, i know we talked about this, that alan dershowitz was making last night which is, if you have this low bar for impeachment, everyone who's going to get impeached, it doesn't really matter because it is not bipartisan if you keep bringing partisan -- and also, no actual crime in impeachment and you just say, abuse of power instead of obstruction of justice but we didn't go to the court system to figure this out. it becomes a campaign commercial. i think both sides actually ended up with a lot they could go into 2020 with peer to think it will be seeing a lot of this in a lot of these ads. >> jesse: alan dershowitz late into the evening last night, and i think everyone believes he made a very strong case that the articles themselves are not what the framers intended, and here

is what he saying about john bolton's manuscript that we haven't even seen. role that. >> if a president, any president, were to have done what "the times" reported as per the content of the bolton manuscript, that would not constitute an impeachable offense. let me repeat, nothing in the bolton revelations, even if tr true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense. >> jesse: strong argument. >> greg: he is such a hypocrat. but what he did, a perfect way to put it, you can't make the criteria for impeachment the criteria for voting and that is what is happening. it is vague, unspecific feelings about this person that you don't

like, that is how you deal with it at the election. you don't pull out impeachment, you say, the arguments are actually a criteria for voting, not a criteria for impeachment. if you do that, what you are doing as you are breaking the seal. impeachment will become as regular as me on fiber con. he also said a lot of other great things. >> i wish that was a social media app. >> greg: i do too. but he was so friendly when he was doing this, which is the opposite of the democrats. you cannot make your emotional dislike based on the collection of laws dictate a process because in the future, everybody's going to do it. everybody's going to do it. and partisan impeachment must fail, it has to fail, because it requires two-thirds of the vote of the senate and that kind of tells you it can't be partisan. lastly, i know everybody's going to say, but witnesses, but witnesses. don't listen to them.

you don't need witnesses. when people say, the democrats are going to say that it wasn't a fair trial because they didn't call witnesses -- you can say, i don't care. if you don't have that argument, you're just going to find another one, and another bombshell that is really an egg shell. you will find something else to replace that argument. fight your fight, don't worry about their response because the response is always going to be the same. they hate you. >> jesse: to that point about witnesses, would you trade hunter for bolton? >> juan: that was very interesting today. >> jesse: no. >> juan: sharon brown, the senator from ohio, said he would do it. >> jesse: do you think he is calling bluff? >> juan: first of all, he doesn't speak for everybody. is not chuck schumer, he speaking as an individual and he heard others, senator whitehouse on fox saying it is not a 1 for 1. if the democrats get all the witnesses they want to come and let republicans have the

responsibility of calling witnesses that have nothing to do with this impeachment. >> jesse: would schumer work out the witness deal with mitch mcconnell? >> juan: i think what white house was saying was the rules call for each party to have the witnesses if they want witnesses but i want to respond to some of what i was hearing here because it seems to me that bolton has been under assault from the right for the last 24, 48 hours since the story broke. he is now like a bad guy. all of us and you think, john bolton, i know john bolton! john bolton is a neocon, john bolton is a hard right guy, that is why he was in the trump white house, and now people are think i meant no, he is a backstabbing, bad man. this strikes me, this is not what we heard from jay sekulow. this is just a policy disagreement. this is not. what you hear from bolton's this was about the president in fact saying i'm going to withhold aid to get something for myself.

so bolton, what bolton has written, he said the president withheld something that was beneficial to him in terms of his political future, and nothing to do with american interests for foreign policy. >> greg: it does. >> jesse: alan dershowitz made the point, it is not an impeachable offense even if that happened. >> juan: but he was saying it was just a policy disagreement. >> kennedy: that is the point he was saying, let's take this on its face and assume all of it is true, and all of it is bad. still, even with that's our conversation, what might've happened, that doesn't rise to the level of impeachment and here it shouldn't. president trump ran on the idea that our foreign policy is pretty screwed up. we've had it wrong in the middle east for quite some time. the enemy of my enemy is my friend and that has been our mantra in the middle east and around the world, and it's very flawed. but that is what the democrats are going on right now and they continue to do that. so if you look at the

president's enemies, they consider them friends. they have been some bad friendships that have ended very poorly. michael cohen michael cohen, michael avenatti, lev parnas. and now john bolton. john bolton has been despised by the left for a long time because of his foreign policy and his worldview, which tends to be a little hawkish. but now all of a sudden democrats, not only have they woken up and discovered federalist 65 and alexander hamilton and all of the founders and the constitution, but now, to them, john bolton is a patriot because he is the enemy of the president. i think in the end that is going to -- >> juan: but you're pointing out the democrats, and i'm saying the republicans are the ones going after bolton. it reminds me yesterday they were going after rudy giuliani! he's nobody, ignore rudy giuliani. >> dana: i think you can have

a third party in america, the hypocrite party. >> jesse: up next, president trump getting ready to hold a huge rally tonight. ♪ limu emu & doug [ siren ] give me your hand! i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ than rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis

usmca trade deal event so it is full steam ahead. there is a question down there in new jersey of this district in jersey won by plus 20, but this is a big draw because local suburbs are going to be able to see this because of the local media market, i'm looking at you, and jeff drew, who was the congressman that switched parties from democrat to republican, so after impeachment, this is his district. it's a big boost for him and a frustration to his republican challengers. let me go to you about this and if you would like to refer to my chart. >> jesse: we will definitely go to the chart. if we have the same chart juan's head is going to explode. but your point, do you want to do it now? let's do it now. this is amazing from gallup. this is how americans' satisfaction levels have changed since the barack obama presidency ended. look at the improvement,

the president has always been about results that you can see. if you look at the real estate he put up, you see it, you saw it on television, he has always defined his presidency by tangibles and if this guy had been pulling stunts and had this kind of chaos and trash talk and hadn't gotten any result he would've been one and done. but because he is accomplishing things that people can feel, i bet he will get a second chance. >> juan: can i respond? isn't it curious that given all you said, the economy is good, crime is not bad, all that, guess what? in the fox poll, half of the country not only supports impeachment but removal. the average poll is split on that and today, 75% said we want witnesses at this trial. to be when i blame the democrats for these bad numbers.

issue, not a physical one. >> juan: if i say to you, let's start a war, do something provocative, then say, it's not a war. then i get a lot of credit. or if i say, let's start out trade war, put out farmers -- >> jesse: 60% are pleased with the economy. >> dana: i just want to clarify something, oftentimes with people, a lot of times you have to read it with the exact questions are that the pollsters are asking because there is a way of manipulating data based on the wording you used. you can oftentimes elicit the response you want from people based on how you ask the question. another thing is, if you are actually willing to talk to a pollster, tell the pollster what they think the poster wants to hear. they signal that by the question. someone could say, yeah, i think we should remove him but in the next spread say, things are going so great at the business, herb and i are going to hire two more people and we are going to

buy about because this is great. would you vote for the president again? oh, yeah. honestly, i do believe the emotional disconnect greg is talking about is very real for a lot of people. they love the result of some of these policies. they don't like a lot of the behavior. >> greg: they don't like the guy -- >> juan: that was my point. >> greg: they don't like the guy but you don't have to like the guy to say he's doing a great job. problem solved! you don't have to like him, juan! write a book about how much you hate him! >> juan: today with the middle east plan, he stands up there for the second time trying to pump his reelection, he says, i have a middle east peace plan. oh, really question require of the palestinians? are they buying into it? >> greg: what can you do, you are already trashing it -- >> juan: but he didn't set it up. he is telling people, i won my, i got a deal. nonsense. >> dana: i'm really glad i

person, and i don't like it either, i've said it from the beginning. although the nickname i really liked was a little rocket man, the ones that are personal in nature i don't like. and as soon as hillary clinton said deplorable, i knew that was it. here we go. i also understand, using a southern accent to mimic somebody who is apparently dumb and doesn't read is really offensive. people come from different regions of the country, accents from people all over the world, it has nothing to do with your intelligence. it has to do with where you are raised. that is offensive. >> greg: how many surgeons have southern accents? i'm pretty sure a million. >> jesse: that is why i don't make sweeping generalizations about large groups of people, greg. >> greg: thank you.

spreading coronavirus. it has killed over 100 people in china. the trump administration issuing its highest travel warning and urging americans to avoid all nonessential travel to china. the u.s. government has started evacuating americans from the city at the epicenter of the outbreak. here's administration officials earlier on the possibility of more travel restrictions. >> all options for disease spread have to be on the table, including travel restrictions. but diseases are not terribly good at respecting borders. >> juan: here at home it's been getting political. 2020 democrats accusing the president of making the u.s. citizens more vulnerable to the virus. the argument is, what job item wrote, this is president trump who tried to get barack obama to institute a travel ban. elizabeth warren blasted for dismantling the white house office that deals with medical research and pandemics.

i disagree with them, not because i think the president has magisterial abilities to defeat the coronavirus. i'm sure some of his supporters might feel that way but i really feel like you need to get all of these government agencies and busybodies out of the way so these private biotech companies can come in and institute their technology and eradicate these viruses once and for all. i think that would be an incredible thing and often times it is layers of bureaucracy that really get in the way of technology and treatment, and until you have more cases here, you're not going to activate that political free-market engine. >> juan: but i was thinking, kennedy is making the point that people would have more faith in the private sector than the government in any case, but i was thinking when the bowl outbreak happened, president obama was in office and he reported ron playing as the czar, and the government put in place a good plan and they handled the outbreak.

that seems to me like he would say, hey, the government did handle it. >> jesse: so far, so good in the u.s. the cdc has identified about 30 to people that have a beer they've isolated them , tested them come and have not seen the ability for the disease to spread to anybody else amonge 32 people that have it. right now, on the side of the pacific, i think it's safer and a little bit more of a control. we are still testing appeared on talking to dr. marc siegel about it today and he said china has been lying about this thing. they've headed over there for a year and they haven't told anybody about it and there's been undocumented deaths. a thousand infected people, they've already skipped the quarantine and they have no idea where they are going in the world health organization has not yet declared it in international health emergency and dr. siegel's point was why,

because the one that makes the call on this is a former chinese health official and they think he is getting pressure from mainland china to keep this thing under wraps. >> juan: so the lie continues, he believes. >> kennedy: i think jesse is absolutely right. >> juan: i don't doubt jesse ever. but dana, the last time there was all this call for travel ban, you remember that woman from maine came back and people said she shouldn't be able to go back to maine? but again, it seems like the fear is there but actually the government handled it. >> dana: yes, i think our government is a pretty good job and i think candidates from either side, this always happens. there is an emergency. you're looking for any sort of advantage. three of the candidates are sitting in the cabinet so they are lobbying whatever they can. i always trust the taxi drivers. my taxi driver this morning said people do not understand how bad this is, ma'am. they do not understand and he was just really very adamant that people needed to really pay attention to it because of the

two week incubation period. you don't show any symptoms for two weeks. how many places can people travel in two weeks? the other thing, the last thing i will mention, there is a show on netflix i started watching called pandemic, it is a docuseries, it will give you some comfort that our government is really doing some good things but it does show you how good the vaccines are. >> juan: you watch horror movies? >> dana: i like to learn. i might even bring a chart tomorrow. >> greg: okay, this is a bit strange about this and i would actually say our administration is doing a terrible job right now and i will tell you why. the cdc is telling people, don't go to china. they are telling us, don't go to china. that is half the equation. how about china coming to us? if we are saying, don't go there but you can still come here? that is idiotic. mcdonald's is closing stores

in china, tibet is closing the border and traffic, infections or doubling every six days and we are sitting here, you know what, it's not the flu. you know what? it's in the early stages. scientists that are mapping the virus are super worried. they are these epicenters spread all over mainland china and why is that? because of the transit leaks. transportation. it's all about where people are going these days and it's coming here unless you stop it. i do think we should consider a temporary travel ban because if we are telling citizens not to go there, why are we telling them they can't come here? i don't understand. it does not seem stupid? >> juan: them we didn't even have to do that. >> greg: i don't know, i'm not a scientist, i'm trying to figure out with this information. you know me, i don't panic over anything, never. i've watched every pandemic from the bird flu, it's huge and that it's not, but this is weird because it is doubling at a fast

rate and the governments aren't telling us everything, which is weird. your point, i do know that, what dr. siegel said beer that is the truth. >> dana: in the chinese need to abolish all of those wet markets. i read about that in "the wall street journal" today. >> greg: they are not as fun as they sound. >> juan: why some on the left or upset with bernie sanders and what hillary clinton just said about 2020. next on "the five." you ever wish you weren't a motaur? sure. sometimes i wish i had legs like you. yeah, like a regular person. no. still half bike/half man, just the opposite. oh, so the legs on the bottom and motorcycle on the top? yeah. yeah, i could see that. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

day, every day's groundhog day. it is a living nightmare for her and the only way she can wake up and mary annie mcdowell's if she wins the election and she has to somehow figure out a way -- before it was having to elbow elizabeth warren out of the way but she is already imploding so she may have her wish. revive a brokered convention. i miss andy mcphail. where is she? >> kennedy: come on out. >> greg: by the way, hillary later said that she will support any nominee there is, so that means she may not be running but there would be a brokerage convention where they drop out of the sky together. >> juan: that is your fantasy? >> jesse: women dropping from the sky. >> greg: yes, thank you, god. >> jesse: it's not my fantasy, it's yours. >> juan: whose hand is dana have to hold here? i was interested in what you're

saying about joe rogan, that is interesting about the whole cancel culture thing because i don't think rogan is any right-winger. no right-winger is going to endorse bernie sanders! that is ridiculous. but on the other hand, people think of him as the dark web intellect and he says some really awful jokes, homophobic, racist type stuff. but the point is, you see this on both sides, the purity tests. if the phone call wasn't perfect, then you are not loyal to donald trump. if your 99% with him, you might as well be 0%. to me, this is where politics is going. all or nothing and driven by the far left and far right. i think rogan, the idea that he supports bernie, i don't see it as that surprising. you know who he is. >> jesse: he is collateral damage because the knives are out for bernie. he's a bigger threat to the democrats than donald trump. how have the democrats handled 2016? think about how they handled a landslide loss with bernie sanders. it's going to be ugly and he's

going to want to abolish i.c.e., raise middle-class taxes, band fracking, donald trump is going to have a field day with bernie and the democrats know it. >> dana: in "the new york times" today, their articles about how where the democrats are about bernie. >> greg: all right, "one more thing" "one more thing" is next. since my dvt blood clot i wasn't sure... was another around the corner? or could things go a different way? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another, and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis

call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be worth waiting for. ask your doctor about eliquis. here hold this. follow that spud.

telling folks about idaho potatoes. and i want it back. what is it with you and that truck?

♪ >> jesse: time now for "one more thing." how about a feeding frenzy everybody? [laughter] let's see it. everybody likes it. >> greg: everybody likes that. >> jesse: football fans getting pumped up for the big game on sunday. so is frito-lay. they have a new combo with tostitos. it combines tostitos strips and avocado salsa. >> juan: avocado salsa?

>> dana: sounds good. >> jesse: i love it and you will love it too. >> dana: brought to you by frito-lay. >> jesse: provided by frito-lay. you know it is a great combination? "the five" and the super bowl. that's right, "the five" is going to be live from miami on friday and a special show on sunday that greg is really excited about it. >> greg: yes, a lot of people will be walk stomach watching that, for sure. >> juan: why are you joking? >> jesse: that is not a choking sound. >> dana: okay, let's show thi this. dana's book club, how cute. over the weekend, i read this book. it's called "remember your mind." it was written by js holmes, writing about being adopted from an orphanage in north dakota at seven and a half months old. he had a lot of questions growing up and he tells you about the search for

parents, the power of adoption at all the proceeds go to the children north dakota. >> jesse: that is kind of a thin book. >> dana: then you will appreciate it. i recommend it if you have an adoption story in your own life. you can check it out on amazon. >> juan: who says new yorkers don't have a heart? take a look a at this harrowing video from manhattan. on sunday a car ran over a woman here pinning her beneath an suv. what you are seeing is over a dozen people rushing from every direction to push the vehicle off that woman. and thankfully, they did it. she was taken to the hospital, relief, just cuts and bruises, no broken bones. they say life in the big city can be tough, look at that one. it was humane and in fact life-saving. >> greg: let's do this. gregg's music news here is a tip for young people who want to start a band. you need a good drummer and a

drummer has rhythm like this little fella here. this is a duck, right? that's a duck. there you go. it drums like a duck. that is a drumstick, actually. i could keep going forever but instead i think i'm going to throw myself off a tall building. there you go. >> jesse: all right, kennedy. >> kennedy: let's continue with that. there was one young man in great britain who with the royal air force after some difficult trials in his life, sold all of his stuff and traveled the world with his pet ferret. >> greg: i don't like him. >> kennedy: look at that ferret in the coliseum, in rome, on the wall and in front of the eiffel tower? >> greg: this is fake. >> kennedy: this freedom ferret has been all over the globe. they've been to 11 countries in a month, everywhere from the arctic circle to southern italy. i don't know which of them is

more happy. >> jesse: emotional support ferret. >> greg: we are ferret balanced. >> jesse: that's a good one. set your dvrs, never miss an episode of "the five." >> bret: good evening, breaking tonight within the past few minutes, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he does not have the votes at this hour to block the calling of witnesses and the president's impeachment trial in the u.s. senate. that is what he told g.o.p. senators late this afternoon. the, coming as the president's defense team concludes its opening presentation. let's get the latest from two correspondents, mike emanuel on capitol hill. good evening. speak of "the wall street journal" first to report that mitch mcconnell is telling his republican senators he does not have the votes to block witnesses.
