we will be covering that on fox business tonight as we cover not only the debates but the business impact, stock market trading in global markets responding to all these developments. it's the one stop you can get on fox business, how the world is responding and how the world markets are. we'll see you then. right now, here is "the five." >> jesse: hello, i'm jesse watters along with juan williams, dana perino, greg gutfeld and bret baier. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." it's the america has been waiting for. in just four hours from now, president trump and joe biden will square off of the first time in cleveland. the former vp arriving for the debate just a few moments ago. it's going to be must-see tv after the candidates personal attacks on the campaign trail for months. both men looking to exploit the other's perceived weak spots. the president is sure to bring

up hunter biden and the former vp is expected to talk about trump taxes. biden just released the 2019 taxes today. both sides are raring to go. >> he is so good, he is so good. what joe does is what he's going to always do. he's going to speak to the american people. >> i think he is a nasty guy and he's said terrible things about the presidents of the president has every right to take his hat off, if he wants. and he's very well prepared. he's much better prepared now that he was four years ago. >> jesse: if you thought the campaigns will put aside the insults and focus on policy, you'd be wrong. both sides fighting over debate rules. the trump campaign calling for both candidates to be checked for listening devices and claims biden's team asked for two breaks. the biden camp calling the ear checks idea absurd, and said they never asked for breaks.

the biden campaign is accusing trump's team of asking chris wallace to not mention the number of americans who died of coronavirus. the trump campaign says that's a lie. bret baier, the ear device thing, is that common to be kind of gamed out before the debate? has this ever happened before? >> bret: not like this. there have been passed debates where people were raising questions about it. hillary clinton, george w. bush, but it was afterwards and photographs. i don't think it's been like this in this preback and forth. it is a bit of a rebuttal from both teams. both denying all things that the other team said. it all goes away when both of these men step on the stage and that is what people are waiting for. >> jesse: what's in the bible like there? what have you been seeing , what have you been hearing and smelling?

>> greg: smelling? >> i'm trying to think of what i am smelling. [laughter] we had a big grin last night so it's nice and fresh here in cleveland. i would say you can sort of feel the energy. there is a palpable excitement. do you think it will be the most-watched presidential debate in american history? especially as the candidates recline. today you could feel it step up so now we are less than four hours away now. everything is locked in. it's a debate about a debate, ear gate or whatever you want to call this idea that chris wallace wouldn't bring up the coronavirus deaths. all of that immediately goes away. it melts on contact right as the two start at 9:00 p.m. i think president trump and biden know this is for all the marbles. get ready, jesse. >> jesse: i'm ready. i will be there at 9:00 ready to watch. are you pumped up for tonight, juan? >> juan: yeah, this is exciting. the first debate, what do they say? the first 30 minutes of the

first debate really informs a lot of opinions out in the country. i know a lot of people say, i think that "the wall street journal," i mentioned this yesterday, 70% of americans say they've already made up their minds, today is not going to shift anything but it does have potential to shift some, which is why i was amazed. as you were saying in the open, why is the president of the united states spending time talking about drug test and transmitters and joe biden's head? i think he just wants to avoid having to talk about not paying taxes or paying less taxes than the average working american. he wants to do everything to avoid that topic. to me, it looks desperate. the other part of it, i guess he wants to avoid talking about coronavirus, which is that whole thing about what chris wallace is allowed to ask. you know, today we had increases in coronavirus infection rates in 21 states. new york state seeing the rate now above 1,000. i mean, this is a crisis and of

course our economy continues to suffer. the president is going to have to address serious issues, not transmitters in joe biden's head. >> jesse: something tells me greg gutfeld might disagree slightly. >> greg: now, i agree with everything he just said. we can get a break now. no, this is going to be war and the only piece you will see is going to be in joe biden's ear. this is for all the marbles, that is good for joe because he needs them. he lost a lot of them. as for the whole idea of the earpiece controversy, bret is right, is not new. al gore was accused of miller clinton was accused and bill clinton was accused of having a piece but she was in the hotel room waiting for him to finish up. there's been a lot of criticism now about joe for a huge, huge lie. you're not seeing it everywhere but you're starting to see claiming that he got his education started at delaware state, a historically

black college and delaware state denies he has ever been a student there. joe's response was, as a black man, i find this attack incredibly racist. i'm going to watch this. i'm not going to use a sports analogy. i'm going to use it, let's call it a furniture moving analogy. when i'm watching a debate it's like watching two berber movers watching your stuff, and you are nervous something is going to happen but you're not sure what it is as they take grandma's earned down the stairs, and i'm not sure who i'm worried about. all i know is that i'm going to feel tremendous anxiety and unease in my drinking game will help me through that. my drinking game has three steps. one, turn on the tv, two, start drinking, three, passed out. >> jesse: you know who i'm worried about? i'm worried about you. >> greg: you should be worried about me. america should be worried about me. >> dana: don't move any

furniture tonight. >> jesse: we've heard in the past that joe is coincidentally all over and now you're seeing a release from the director of national intelligence that says that russian intelligence has picked up information that hillary clinton was trying to frame donald trump for being involved with russia hacking and election interference and that according to handwritten notes, brendan, former cia director, actually briefed president obama about this, late july 2016, and again briefed jim comey in september. do you think that might come up in tonight's debate, because that seems pretty relevant to the whole russia collusion narrative? >> juan: oh, god. >> bret: i don't know that the president is going to go down that road, and the letter it can't be vetted and they are not sure about the intel, it is more set up to the jim comey hearing

with lindsey graham than anything else. definitely going down the russia road. i don't think he's going to get this specific, but expect this to be full of fireworks because of anything, the president is the most eyeballs are going to be in the first 30, 40 minutes and this is a guy who knows tv more than most. >> jesse: he does and we will be watching. >> juan: jesse, what about the $70,000 for his hair stylist? i want to see his hair tonight. >> jesse: i'm sure the fox news hair people did a great job. maybe not $72,000 worth but they do a great job. i mean, look at mine at mine. >> dana: yours looks pretty good. >> juan: that is pretty good. >> dana: gregg's due. >> jesse: let's stop talking about greg's looks, it's giving him a big ego. let's get ready for tonight's debate, stop talking about hair. the supreme court set to carry over to the debate stage. what we can expect, next.

>> juan: a bitter partisan battle over the supreme court playing out in washington and its expected to be a major point of contention on the debate stage tonight. president trump's nominee judge amy coney barrett meeting with republican senators today on capitol hill. so far six democratic senators have said they will not sit down with her. it comes as democrats reportedly want to avoid a now kavanaugh-like situation. jessie, let me ask you, i think the president anticipated that this nomination might help him in the presidential race, but so far, the polls don't show that. they showed 2-1. in fact, americans think the next president should be the one to make the appointment. so has this been a disappointment for the president's team customer >> jesse: i'm so glad you pulled up polls because you brought up what i want to bring

appeared there is a place, i'm not sure if you've heard of it, harvard university. harvard university had a poll that's at 53% of americans think the president should nominate a just as quickly and the senate should take that person up quickly and that includes 51% of independents. also would like to push back on some more democrat misinformation about amy coney barrett. this is from "the new york post," the only newspaper that i read every single morning. i'm sorry, betsy. that is the correct pronunciation of her name. they are saying that she's going to undo obamacare appeared false. she's going to joined the other judges and take a scalpel to the mandate. she is not going to take a bold dozer to the entire obamacare legislation. secondly, there is not going to be 12 million people that are going to get thrown off the health care.

that 12 million refers to medicaid and the court has already ruled that states can opt out whether or not they want to expand medicaid. thirdly and final point, because i know you guys love my wonky health care data is that the allegation from nancy pelosi that 138 million people with pre-existing conditions are going to lose access to health care, also not true. only 6% of americans were affected by obamacare and the president just signed an executive order covering pre-existing conditions. thank you. >> juan: we appreciate that, thank you. >> jesse: you're welcome. >> juan: bret baier, they are were senate debates last night in maine, montana, and iowa. the focus in all three, the supreme court nomination, covid-19, and health care. is that a strong preview of what you expect tonight? >> bret: listen, we have the topics but the supreme court is going to be a part of this.

expect joe biden to go down the road of trying to paint a real-life consequence of trump appointees on the supreme court when it comes to health care. it just mentioned what the senate calls a filibuster, by the way, that is what jesse just did. [laughter] and they expect trump to tout how many justices he's gotten there, living up to his promise in 2016 and what he was elected to do. so, i think it's a dangerous prospect for democrats not to meet with judge amy coney barrett. i think in some senate races it's going to make a difference. georgia, montana, iowa, north carolina. it may help the republicans there. >> bret:>> juan: do you think democrats are making a mistake by not meeting with her, because they say they will attend the hearing but it doesn't look like any of them are going to have a meeting with her? >> dana: i think the not meeting thing, when you can't

win an argument you pound process and when you can, you pound facts. also what jesse was trying to do. i feel like when she starts to speak -- are doing very well. when she starts to speak on her own behalf, i think all the not meeting with her goes away. i don't think anyone really remembers that. she is her own best advocate and they are not that far away, so i think this is just big for a couple of days. the other thing i point out as there are many legal scholars who believe that this lawsuit, the obamacare lawsuit that is going to be heard in the supreme court of the week after the election is not a very good one for the republican position. basically they think the justices will probably tank it. i just wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket, although i know that they will try to do that. joe biden definitely wants this discussion tonight and going forward to be about health care and the coronavirus. president trump's strong point will be talking about the economy and his record and

judges. all of those things will come up tonight but let me just go back to this, as soon as she starts speaking for herself, i think a lot of it just goes away and you get right into the hearings in the substance of the issues, not just the process. >> juan: not meeting with her as payback for what the republicans did to merrick garland for ten months? >> greg: i think that is perfectly legitimate. i believe this is not a bitter partisan battle unless you want it to be. nobody has to be involved in this, it's already over. this is as close as you get to a game of charades where everyone is actually acting out a supreme court battle, when we already know what's happening. one side is going to say this, the other side is going to say that. it's entertaining, that's for sure but you are not going to learn anything other than that politicians are blowhards. the one thing you learn about this when they're talking about obamacare is that once you introduce a giant program, no

matter how awful it is, the democrats in time will pretend like it's been there forever and that it's amazing, when in fact, i don't know how many years ago, ten years, 11 years, i can't remember, i was very young back then, foolish too, it was a massive disaster. terrible, people forget about the website. you lost your doctor and yet here we go, even the objective media is buying into this. oh, are they going to get rid of obamacare, as if they actually believe it's worth saving. no, it's time to look at health care a different way. we have a lot of great stuff coming up. telemedicine is a huge thing it is going to make medicine and health a lot cheaper, so let's not sit here and act we are losing something so incredibly valuable, even if we question the validity of it. >> juan: i think it was 2010, just for your reference, when you first heard of it. but i think a lot of people do

still like it, wouldn't want to lose it in the middle of a pandemic. anyway, coming up, the suburban voters on the line. why both candidates need to make a strong play for those crucial suburban voters at tonight's debate. that's next for you on "the five." ♪ 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.

♪ >> bret: welcome back. a live look at cleveland from the clinic clinic, case western university. joe biden will meet face to face just hours from now and the candidates are sure to be courting suburban voters tonig tonight. winning that voting block could be key to securing critical swing states. our very own martha maccallum sat down with some suburban women here in ohio. take a look. >> and i'm pretty decided this time about who i want to vote

for. i'm choosing trump this time. >> the single thing i want to see the most in this election is a return to a sense of dignity and respect among the people that we elect to d do the peopls business. >> bret: in another key swing state, the pullout has president biden leading leading trump among those suburban voters by nine points overall. you can see men they are giving the hat tip to president trump a few points. women overwhelmingly for biden, and that poll. where do you think the suburban boat is? i've heard you talk about the concern about violence and a lot of these cities and what that means for that vote. >> greg: i don't believe polls are news, and it's just basically taking the temperature and you can take the temperature any different way. a stop sign, whoever is signing at my answers. the media said that trump is

banking on fear and anxiety, but whewhich voters can't speak ther mind for fear of retribution? trump voters. who is stirring up anxiety and fear? prominent democrats are the ones who have been doing that and they know and they did this little extortion trick him it's going to get worse under trump, who is stoking for your question like this is the big problem because there are two parties right now. republican and democratic parties. one is saying you cannot cooperate with the other. it's not the republican party. trump will talk to anybody, we know that. it's a democratic party that is saying we cannot cooperate with them because it's a moral decision. biden says that a trump is evil. they say trump voters are deplorable. what does this do for america? the only thing holding people together from killing each other is something called cooperation. if you decide you are no longer to cooperate with people and you tell that, no wonder the streets are in chaos and there's riots

and looting and come november, it's going to get worse. you have leadership telling people that that's the way forward. do not cooperate with people you disagree with disagree with. >> bret: dana, pennsylvania is a key state. i was just in pennsylvania and talk to a different bunch of voters including the heads in some counties and there's all the talk about the hidden trump vote but these democrats say they believe it because they have democrats who will not say they support trump, even though they do. we don't know what that means, what that shift means. >> dana: it's not just a key state, it's the keystone state, so to speak, and it's critical for both of those candidates who try to get in. president trump has had some problems in the suburbs. he saw it in the 2018 midterms, greg could be right, maybe there's plenty saying i'm just not going to say it. bret stephens of "the new york times" wrote a column today that said meet a

secret and shy trump voter, women who says that coming out as a trump voters even harder than coming out as a lesbian. that is how hard it is for people to admit they are for trump. that is in "the new york times" for everyone to see, some are trying to broadcast that message loud and clear. all this talk about the suburban vote and i know there are a lot more suburban voters than rural voters, but joe biden's albums with rule voters is probably even stronger than that of president trump's problem with suburban voters. that is a lock, and it's all part of a political realignment that we are living through and it's one of the reasons i also believe president trump try to turn back to the economy to talk about what he accomplished and also draw the contest to say if joe biden becomes your president, this recovery that we are currently in, coming out of the coronavirus recession will stop and you will be back where you were during the obama years

with everything stagnant and nothing moving forward. >> jesse: in the debate tonight, part of this is the fireworks we are going to see, but it's also talking to the american people about what each presidency would look like. >> juan: exactly right and i think one of the real agendas for both candidates is to give the voters a sense of what their vision is for the future. in the case of president trump, what is his agenda for a second term or in the case of joe biden, is he a man that has a vision of something more than just being not donald trump? i will say that in terms of this law and order message that president trump has been pushing, it does not seem to have moved the numbers. it seems like it's been a waste of time on the campaign trail and a waste of add money, and especially when you're talking about suburban women, just to be direct. we are talking about white suburban women. he has tried this not only in terms of law and order but also in trying to push the fair button.

oh, your suburbs will be taken apart, we are going to have more middle income housing. minorities will come into the people he calls housewives. well, it just hasn't worked. pennsylvania or anywhere else that suburban white women have said oh, gee, i'm thinking differently now. >> bret: jessica him or bring it home here. to be when it waits to be seen, what one is same but the suburban boat is not monolithic. still the same rules apply. republicans vote republican, democrats vote democrats and independents are up for grabs. the more advanced degrees you are in the suburbs and the more likely you are to vote with joe biden. joe biden is college educated and does well with the high school graduates, the places in between the suburbs and rural areas and those places are really undercounted by pollsters but trump is getting

traction on two major issues. people living in the suburbs are more economically minded. they are definitely afraid of taxation. one of the reasons they are in the suburbs, not living in the city and i totally disagree with juan, they are very upset with this zoning regulation where you can force densely populated low-income housing into your community and local municipalities don't have a say about that. the no cash bail situation that biden has signed on to with bernie sanders in the manifesto. they are very against that and they don't want the drugs, the crime, the gang coming into their communities. >> bret: everybody wants to see president trump and joe biden on the stage behind me but greg's monologue is next.

♪ >> greg: guess who was nominated for a nobel peace prize again through their dime a dozen trinkets, so useless they threw one at obama just for brushing his teeth. but it's trump third and for something new yet again. australian law professors, they have them there, nominated him for the trump doctrine, a mix of common sense and national doctor and keeping us from "endless wars and therefore killing thousands of young americans." it is funny to be nominated three times not for making liberals feel good but for real stuff. middle east peace, reducing our military footprint while expanding our capabilities. meeting ices, confusing pacifists and generals alike. it reveals the contrast between most leaders and trump. the eloquent statesman who sends kids to die versus the obnoxious ruffian who keeps your kids at

home. no one denies trump's personality. he will never win a prize for his mostly peaceful press conferences but that argument is four years old, which is why the people crying about it seem like they are four years old. still, joe can handle a broom, shake hands, smiled those bright white teeth, hair plugs blowing in the breeze. he can talk wistfully about those who sacrificed their lives and give you the bad news from his basement bedroom, and go back into hiding. we won't lose sleep over biden's tweet, but some of us might lose sleep over worse things. if you know he's sending the army again and again. it's worth asking the candidates tonight, what's a bigger worry, mean tweets or a wasteful, never ending war? trump produced the tweets. biden supported the war. we know the media's answer to that, so what is yours? all right, dana, he got three nominations for three separate reasons. two piece deals, the trump doctrine. could he be the greatest president in the history of the

universe? >> dana: could be, history will tell. i don't think tonight in the buckets of topics, foreign policy won't come up. i bet joe biden will maybe try to possibly bring up climate change, try to bring up that one but one of these debates will focus on foreign policy and remember what secretary gates said. he believes joe biden had been wrong on every single foreign policy issue for the last 30 years. he wrote it in a book. that is there and i do think the contrast is quite stark. i look forward to the opportunity for them to actually have that discussion because i think president trump has some very good accomplishments and he's going to kick off. >> greg: remember, biden didn't want to take on osama bin laden and trump took out isis and that other dude. i forget that guys name. >> bret: listen, president trump has a foreign

policy record to run on. it's not going to be in this debate, it doesn't seem, unless one of the candidates bring it up and then it's a follow up and it's not in the buckets that chris is focused on. but he has a tale to tell and it's actually tough, i think, for the biden folks to say, look at what happened with israel, uae and bahrain, saying it is not a good thing. biden said the same thing in a statement. >> greg: are you now going to admit you were wrong about trump customer and he has three nobel peace prize's. you don't have any. >> juan: i'm working on it. wait a minute, he doesn't have three. he has three nominations. >> greg: i said nominations. >> juan: i thought you said he had three nobel prizes. anyone can be nominated. the differences obama was nominated and won it. that's the big deal. that's it is going to say, even obama didn't make a big deal out of it. pretty humble about it.

he didn't go out campaigning and advertising "i was nominated." that sounds pretty weak to me. if you want, i think i would do it for you. >> greg: i appreciate that. >> dana: i'm going to nominate greg next week. >> juan: i say, boy, that looks weak. because he's nominated? anyone can be nominated. >> greg: well, it's nice to be thought of as bringing peace to the world. >> jesse: before he was president he was nominated for eight emmy awards and he got zero. hopefully he does better with the nobel peace prize's. if you are an intellectually honest liberal, i know that's an oxymoron, but if you are, you have to admit that trump's foreign policy has been successful. did you know the north koreans have not tested a nuclear device in three years? we have space for us, we have peace deals. isis annihilated, the two top terrorists taken out, the

iranians are isolated. this is really good stuff. susan rice is complaining about our allies, are allies who? who is she talking about? the brits, the indians, the south koreans, the japanese, the israelis? it seems like we have a nice alliance system and president trump, despite being called this big renegade who is going to create a nuclear holocaust has done the exact opposite. >> bret: foreign policy probably isn't going to come but china will, whether it's under biden or president trump talking about china. that's going to come up tonight. we've got to go, guys. >> greg: i know you have to go. i was just going to say goodbye to you, bret. prepare well, my friend. up next, final thoughts and predictions for tonight's debate. ♪ i need a smaller house that's close to my son,

♪ >> dana: have you heard that the presidential debate is tonight? now it's over three hours to wait, so tomorrow we will not do more predictions. tomorrow we will give you our reactions but now we are going to give you one more round of predictions and final thoughts about tonight. jessica millett start with you. >> jesse: the president is a great communicator and a master p.r. guy, so of the millions and

millions of people who follow him on social media, 77% of people follow hi approve of his performance. that is why when he because these briefings, people pay attention and his numbers go up. also reason why cnn and the other networks censor him. they don't air the rallies, they cut away from the briefings and censor him on social media, so this is an opportunity tonight for the president for 90 minutes to be unfiltered by the mainstream media. you will see him in a contrast with joe biden. he will be speaking directly to the american people and i think the american people will listen and like what they hear. >> jesse: it's interesting, this will be the first time a lot of people in america will have heard from joe biden during this campaign. >> juan: why do you say that? >> dana: because he will have about 100 million people watching, for the very limited events that biden has done,

except for the convention, i will set that aside, there hasn't been much communication from the biden campaign. >> juan: i disagree. in fact, the reason he is doing so well right now is his strategy through social media, the convention, the like, have paid off for him but i think tonight, the people are going to be paying attention with a new focus because we haven't seen biden and trump on the same stage. this is new, this is different so it's going to get more attention. i think the president's strategy is always to create the kind of surface jesse was talking about. i guess he will make all kinds of allegations and charges. we will see how biden reacts. if biden is to be successful, he can't take the bait. he has to come across as steady, strong alternative to the way that trump plays ball. >> jesse: he is really good with quips, he is witty, he likes to get a laugh but there are fewer people in the hall tonight. think about 100 people in the audience, so i don't know.

i don't know how it will land if he's able to make one of those jokes. we might laugh at home but i don't know what the reaction will be in the home. >> greg: trump talks trash but joe's words are these moral condemnations and that is where i think you're going to see the battle take off, because if somebody's going to call you a racist, or that you've got blood on your hands or you told people to inject bleach. those aren't like making fun of somebody's height or making fun of somebody's looks. you are actually impugning them. those are what you call fighting words, if i were in a debate where somebody had called me a racist or set i had blood on my hands, i would fight them. i think that that would happen. >> jesse: you get 'em, greg gutfeld! >> greg: i will appear but my prediction is i will be life chiding the debate. i will not be on twitter, so that is going to be unfiltered. last but not least, if trump

does find some of this will be his first and last debate. if he does pretty good he will do another. he will treat it like he wants to be a millionaire when he gets to half a million. he's going to go, i really don't need to go to the million. i think i will just stop here. that's my pick. >> jesse: i don't know, when this debate starts i might ask to call tucker carlson and say that i won the bat because there was a prediction by tucker that this debate wouldn't happen. >> jesse: i think gutfeld said that he wouldn't debates you've got about three hours until that becomes true. >> greg: of god to fly to ohio and kidnap him. >> dana: i will let tucker slide because he wasn't the only one. we will have the debate, it's happening in just about three hours. >> greg: what are you wearing? >> dana: we've got "one more thing" next. ♪
