neil will be back tomorrow. you can catch me 2:00 p.m. eastern on the fox business network. big day for the market. check us out. meanwhile, "the five" starts right now. ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone, i'm dana perino along with greg gutfeld, juan williams, jesse watters and emily compagno. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." welcome to the final stretch. we are less than two months out from election day on the race to the white house continues to tighten. president trump making stops in florida and north carolina while biden takes a break from the campaign trail a day after his event. the president railing against joe biden while in the sunshine state this afternoon. speak to my administration is

proving every day that we can improve our environment while creating millions of high-paying jobs. this is a really sharp contrast to the extreme radical left that you had to deal with. joe biden's plan would destroy america's middle-class, the contrast between our vision and the radical left has never been more clear. they talk a big game and they do nothing. let's face it. joe is shot. if joe biden gets in the second amendment is gone. >> dana: with president trump closing the gap, politico is noting that "national polls have generated a portrait of biden holding a commanding lead and it's something of a mirage. in the swing states of matter, its trench warfare. according to the real clear politics average, and trump is a

president whose support has been notoriously notorious late difficult. where do you see the state of the race at this time? >> juan: i tend to break it down pretty much in binary terms. would you rather be a guy who is having money trouble at the moment, and seems to have spent money early on, and now is having to pull in key states like michigan, or would you rather be someone who rates a record amount of money in the month of august? would you rather be as someone who is allegedly dealing with derogatory statements about our war dead or, would you rather be someone who sent his son to battle under the american flag? so i think if you look at it in those terms and you look at the big poll numbers, as you say

it's tight in some states but even in the swing states the majority of the swing states now favor biden. and you have a number of states like arizona that previously would have been thought to have been in the public and calm and now look pretty good. you always have to give the advantage to the incumbent but i would say right now, as we start the sprint, as you put it, i would rather be biden and trump. >> dana: and the nbc marist poll today, it showed something i think the trump campaign would be very happy with, a tie at 48-48 and an increase in support from 2016 until now with hispanic voters from about 26 to 50%. also just the look and feel of the campaign. it's a beautiful stop there in jupiter, florida, and he's making big announcements including one about oil drilling off the coast.

so, when one says he you would rather be biden trump at this point, i'm assuming you have different point of view? >> greg: well he says it's a sprint but biden isn't even moving. permission to make a sports analogy, dana? >> dana: sure. all right, let's see what you've got. >> jesse: so biden is playing for corners, trump's full-court press and he is fast break end. they have it tied, it's on skewed and that's a poll where they actually have a breakdown reflecting the 2016. and biden is losing hispanics. trump is doing much better with cubans in venezuela and has more work to do with puerto ricans in the orlando area for the president will win florida, i can guarantee you that. look how he's doing in north carolina over performing with his push for charter schools and if i'm joe biden i'm

nervous. right now donald trump is within the margin of error and every single battleground state. he talk to the trump campaign and they are pretty confident. i don't think the biden campaign is not confident. that's by 450,000. north carolina, 230,000. pennsylvania 150,000. the president's approval rating is at 51%. democrats very nervous about that because at this stage in the reelection, bush was at 50% of rasmussen at this point, and i think this raises with the president having a slight edge and right now i'd rather be president trump. >> dana: greg, obviously you can talk about whatever you want

but, you see these videos of him doing q&a over zoom but apparently reading these responses. >> greg: how dare he read from a teleprompter. [laughs] is not so much that but he's out of gas when he wakes up in the morning and it's kind of like when you drive a lemon off the lot. we talked about the polls, and this is the toughest election in recent memory since 2016. it's painted a large target on the back of them, and we are only undercounting trump voters.

why would you vote? why would you lie about something that gets you abused? that's like going to the doctor and telling him that you are smoking more. you are going to lie to the doctor and tell them that you've lost weight and you cut your smoking in half. go to a trump event and to go to a biden event in a trump shirt and compare and contrast and see how people treat you. lastly, to the derogatory story in the atlantic, i need to have an anonymous story like that when there is an economic recovery, a jobs recovery and hopefully, a strong path to corral covid which i think is happening. you need stuff like this. and there is plenty of other

telling me that already happened. so you are telling me that trump says offensive things in public? oh, my god, what do we do? we've only known that for four years. and lastly for the journalists out there let's come up with a real definition of what confirmation means because confirmation of an unproven allegation of a source is the confirmation of that. >> dana: okay. let me ask you this emily, for some of the pole in north carolina, but i think republican's are a little bit more stressed out about the fact that when it comes to early voting and absentee requests the democrats have astronomical advantages. i agree with that.

i wanted to be the caveat because in these battleground states that will determine the election. it's a three-point race with only two months ago and we all remember in 2016 when trump was behind in pennsylvania at this time by two points, behind by three points in michigan and seven points in wisconsin and obviously he won all three. so the media is obviously focusing on national polls and some have suspect voter polls. the one you were mentioning on, that was an interesting skewed toward republican voter makeup and i think we should sort of take a step back and understand that polls at this point or are not going to reflect necessarily the mood and the preferences of the electorate especially when we are waiting for a covid stimulus coming out, obviously a lot of unrest in urban environments and that mail in voting that you talke touched ol

play a huge part. >> jesse: that actually reflects exact poll from 2016 and that's why you have a tight race. >> juan: coming up next, we will talk about what emily just mentioned. greg's monologue on a new ad from joe biden that it gives trump of inciting violence. ♪ experience amazing at your lexus dealer. experience amazing and mine's unlisted.. try boost® high protein... -with 20 grams of protein for muscle health- -versus only 16 grams in ensure® high protein. and now enjoy boost® high protein in new café mocha flavor. ♪

>> greg: joe biden's new ad reaches the violent chaos of democratic led cities. surprise, trump is to blame. >> this is our chance to put the

darkness of the past four years behind us. and start fresh in america. >> greg: weight, their vote is violence, who knew? talk about extortion, he liked me, or you are dead. it's also based on reading something they kept denying. they pushed it as mostly peaceful as statistically, that's okay. but how good would you feel if you were told your parachute is mostly safe? but now they have read the polls in the sea that they are wrong. they removed their lives in the real causes of this police incidents, drugs, mental illness, noncompliance. it exists across all races. a mind on drugs are plagued by illness will not comply and

police require compliance. it is that incompatibility that the media turned it to fodder from unrest. now boxed and they must blame trump. that acceptance was cooperating with orange man bad. if wheeler had shelved his ego and taken his ego early on that trump supporter would be alive as well as many other people. instead they sheltered behind denials until polls force them to emerge finally to survey the damage done. it wasn't just joe in the basement, it's the whole party. they hid from the hill until it was time to campaign in which answers are great philosophical question. if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there. unless it was trump's fault, no. it seems like joe wants his kick and eat it too, a phrase i just with.

how do you think that strategy? >> jesse: i don't think people will buy that. they economy and health care one and two so joe was playing catch up little bit. while he's doing is reading what's in a teleprompter that his staff puts up. and it looks like he wants to be the reader of the free world. under barack obama and joe biden, the cops program, community policing was funded at about 200 million per year. donald trump funded about 300 million per year.

so this is another lie and i caught him lying. >> greg: us before the entire command of the rochester police department. how can this be seen as a victory for black lives matter? where will this end up? emily: that's exactly right and it's reflecting a trend. this is happening all over the country. portland has seen the resignation of over a hundred officers on last six months and dozens more are looking for other jobs. keep in mind this is against the backdrop them eliminating background units, so it's not as if there are new people filling these positions.

i think the bottom line is that condemnation means nothing without policy and action and that is where that ad falls flat. it's also ironic to me that biden is calling for a fresh start where electing him would literally be resurrecting the crypt keeper that was on the hill. let's take portland back. the mayor and the governor, that law enforcement, they are still handcuffed. there are still active restraining orders in place by the court preventing them from using tear gas, pepper spray, lar d unless it's in certain situations. so there are words backing it up with the policy to actually he help. the mayor and the governor came out decrying that because they were saying they were going to leave. this all falls flat and represents what rhetoric without action.

>> greg: rhetoric without action tonight at nine. that's a very good ad. >> juan: the whole optimism, the whole hopefulness, still reminded me of ronald reagan's famous 1984 ad, morning in america. the ad basically says this is an election between good and evil and i seemed lots of people on the democrat side is saying it's not a toy selection. it's really, who votes for evil. it's like there's no real choice there, it's implicit in the ad and the condemnation of trump has in fact caused darkness, violence, division and american society and unsettling, chaotic kind of governance.

white supremacist, proud boys, all that stuff. >> greg: proud boys are burning down all the businesses. they are behind it. >> juan: all right. okay. these folks are provoking violence and they are writing around and looking for opportunities to exploit and they are in fact now being -- creating the kind of threat that we once saw in terms of generating the activities. >> greg: that's good. so -- what violence, what are you talking about? >> juan: i think it's overwhelming. it's 90 plus percent. all of these marches were

peaceful and productive and about racial equality in ameri america. >> greg: the pandemic is 3% fatal so i guess it's 97% peaceful. >> juan: oh, my gosh. >> greg: that statistics, i took it in school and it helps. it's a vote between good and evil so that goes back to the good and evil. >> dana: that's always been a dangerous way to approach things. the late charles krauthammer said the difference between conservatives and liberals is that the liberal think you are evil if you are conservative. but i think the divisiveness and partisanship, it's brewing and it's tough and i wonder if on this fresh start ada, again, i do believe that the democrats focus group absolutely everything and every word and

that must work pretty well with people who want to see the contrast. there are people in the country who are saying we just need a circuit breaker. now both sides, trump is trying to explain how he sees the violence and how democratic mayors and governors have let this get out of control. biden is saying, he's the president so that's happening on this watch. how it would end and be different on their watch. you think about ted wheeler and the mayor of portland, he has been very accommodating to many of the protesters. >> no one likes to be forced out of their condo. next on "the five," a school district suspends a 12-year-old kid for holding a toy gun in his online class. ♪

scale and this could be just the beginning of problems in the virtual classroom. what you're seeing our kids, a young man i believe in colorado was suspended from school for five days for bringing a toy gun in front of his in classroom. he was at home, but the school suspended him and called the sheriff's office to his home because of the toy gun. here is his mother responding. >> if they felt at any point that my son or anyone in my home are in immediate danger, why not call the parents first? nine times out of ten i'm standing right outside the room and i could have rushed in there had it been a real gun and easily alleviated the situation. >> juan: the school district put out a statement saying

safety as their number one priority. let's not argue about bringing a gun even into a classroom, even in zoom classroom. but i think, i wonder if the school couldn't have used more discretion if they weren't overly punitive. and not worry about it going forward, but why shouldn't you waive -- should you waive a gun around in a zoom classroom? this is a really good time to say let's get the schools open. let's figure out a way to get the kids back in the classroom. little kids crying because i can't figure out how to handle all the different zoom things. you need that interaction with teachers and your fellow

students and this week mitch mcconnell and the u.s. senate republicans will talk about a prick targeted coronavirus release bill. if the democrats don't want to vote for that, they will have to explain why they would just wait and try to do a huge bill rather than this bill which would have money for contact tracing, figuring out a way to get kids tested if they needed and maybe some cleaning supplies if that's what the school districts decide. it's a hundred billion dollars in the democrats have an opportunity this week to try to get that done. >> juan: daddy jesse, let me ask you. what do you think about creating a zoom classroom by the same rules that we would treat an actual classroom. do you think that's right? >> jesse: i do, i think you shouldn't do things that you wouldn't do in a normal classroom but this is a kind of stuff that happened all the time where the headmaster would go over my parents head and go right to the police.

and obviously the principal overreacted and should have gone to the mother. my twin started school today and they go in and there is kind of a temperature thermometer that you walk through and they test you and they all have to wear masks. these dividers on the desk for separation and they get a little outside time to loosen up and they can take their masks off outside. so far, so good. when i get coronavirus in a week or two, i will blame the democrats obviously. but so far everything is fine. [laughter] >> juan: essentially to me, they have rules on attendance, on what clothes you can wear, moving around and eating and this all applies even though you are on a zoom classroom. so what do you think, is not appropriate? >> greg: i think so. look, everybody is afraid of being sued to so this phone call

is due to the fact that no one can tolerate common sense if there is a lawyer in the room. you will get sued if that gun, if there is a small percentage that that gun might be harmful. that's why this happened. this pandemic, to your point, is an opportunity for change and innovation because that won't be the last pandemic. we will be lucky, there will be more pandemics because that means we survive this one, but we know what is going to happen as long as earth exists. so there should be the time that we experiment with prototypes ananend start creating rules, le rules to define with the experience is like. maybe we have a very sparse background when you are doing zoom, you don't have distractions or toys or anything there. it should be devoid of destruction and maybe teachers don't have to see you all the time. maybe you just check in. i will use palatine again is an example in not of the instructors can see me working out or dana working out because

all they see are there little lessons. meanwhile we could be wearing anything we want. dana could be just like a flight attendant from air hawaii and they would know. >> juan: emily, these kids was six and a half hours in front of a computer screen and they get a break for lunch. but is that too much do you think? what do you think? >> i will respond to the specific situation because i think it's a tragedy. anyone who is committed to meaningful justice reform or social equity for people of color or improving our public school systems, this is a disgrace. those parents were not showing the video from the school district, they had to watch the video from the body cam of the police officer. as we know, the school called the cops before they called the parents at home. that child was designated with learning disabilities and adhd and he now has a record with the el paso county sheriff's department and also a discipline

or any school record for life that says he brought a facsimile of a gun to school so if the odds aren't stacked against him, i don't know what is. >> juan: the temperature is 120 plus in california, the los angeles mayor has started cracking down on energy use. we will have that story for you next month "the five." ♪ 'cause you're not like everybody else. that's why liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. what? oh, i said... uh, this is my floor. nooo! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ essential for sewing, but maybe not needles.

>> jesse: climate crisis in full force in l.a. while the mayor bakes people to turn their their air-conditioners as that temperature soars as high as 12. the mayor getting mocked for tweeting, it's almost 3:00 p.m., time to turn off your major appliances, set the thermostat for 70 degrees, turn off excess

lights and unplug any appliances you are not using. this is embarrassing. they can't open salons, can't open restaurants, can't keep the lights on, what is happening out there? >> greg: up one of the bare expectations of a government is that it can keep the lights on and this is an incredibly wealthy state. they are handicapped by punitive policies and they can't keep the lights on. so i have an idea. when you think of monopolies, you always think of one company that has the entire market share. right? and they get to set the prices but more importantly they get to treat the customer like because you don't have any competition. california has a monopoly in its mind-set and it's a singular left singular left-wing orthodoxy that sets the punitive taxes and sets the punitive policies and the customer, i.e. the citizen in california is screwed. so what do you do with monopolies? you break them up.

california needs to be broken up so they are smart areas of the country can govern themselves and they don't need to be hooked up with marin county or dragged down by those idiots. you could split california up probably four or five different ways and there will still be great places to visit. at least people will be able to enjoy their lives instead of this crazy nutso stuff. a >> jesse: hopefully we can gerrymander it. a lot of complicated factors mixed in there. you have the record high temperatures, we have a grid that has never been updated, you have overregulation of the utilities and they have done almost everything wrong. >> dana: i don't think the mayor deserved a mockery. and they are in the middle of a

crisis and the other thing is they have all of these fires. one of the problems is california's climate change. you have california wildfires and it throws a lot of carbon. the private landowners are the ones who actually are replanting and figuring out a way to be responsible and be smart with their forest. the public lands are not being taken care of and california has us really weird dichotomy. they preach conservation but they live in a way that doesn't match that and then they end up with this problem. >> greg: emily, your thoughts? instead of relying on a

renewable. quite frankly it's making california lives miserable and putting their safety at risk for them to have this all or nothing approach to policy, removals or nothing. >> greg: they are phasing out nuclear and coal and natural gas and relying on wind and solar but you don't get that quickly burst that you need like you do now. >> juan: this is not about fossil fuels, this is about the grade of. and you know, i think that you have to talk about how you do a better job and that's why garcetti is right. he speaks as a community leader and of the community with those high temperatures is having a problem. everyone needs to cooperate. >> jesse: all right, the

covid. he claims the devil is the biggest gossiper but that's probably because he hasn't met greg yet. are we gossiping about the pope by talking about him? >> greg: he knows that people are talking about him but you have to accept it as a reality. gossip is good and bad. the fourth time this month up in the bronx, she can't stop, she has to pay for that organic dog food. but gossip on the other hand is really good because it's a currency. it probably was the first currency, and the gossip is a good currency but it's only good if it's destructive. how's that? >> dana, isn't the information as good as gossip -- this

information is good? >> dana: not necessarily. i think sharing information is good and i also heard of that president trump is going to have a vaccine for the plague that is gossip by december 1st so all will be well. >> i heard her and peter were having issues. like he is now jealous of jasper and he's really upset about it. >> that's actually true. >> juan: i'm just glad dana is here because otherwise i would be taking a lot of punches right now. so thank you, dana perino. but i will say, i thought the pope was wrong to equate gossiper with cobit, not the

same. no. >> emily: finally not all robots are bad. the u.s. air force is now testing robot dogs for base security. they can scout areas on the battlefield that may be too dangerous for the soldiers. so what say you about robot canines dana? >> dana: i like the innovation and anything that can help figure out a way to keep us sa safe. i don't want anyone to to get dogs job away, i would be terrible. >> what is it like if you step in their, is it like battery?
