2:00 pm
he hit the right moment and the market also came to him. >> neil: well put. john, thank you very, very much. tomorrow we will see whether investors can adjust to the new reality. ♪ ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino with jesse watters, greg gutfeld, katie pavlich and juan williams. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." it's so full-blown immigration overhaul. president joe biden continuing to undo the policies of the last administration with the stroke of his pen. biden is set to sign three more executive orders on the issue. what will create a task force to reunite families separated at the border. another will review trump's remained in mexico policy that has asylum-seekers wait south of the border until their cases are
2:01 pm
resolved. biden will also ask to streamline the naturalization process. the president's immigration changes, as new data shows migrant encounters of the border have shot up 178% since last year. going from nearly 65,000 in fiscal year 2020 to well over 180,000 in fiscal year 2021. jesse, we are in the land of executive orders. congress hasn't been able to pass a bill on this in decades really. so now you have the undoing of the previous administrations work and it's really a confusing mess. >> jesse: if you listen closely, you can hear the cartels cheering. now the coyotes can come over and bring a body to our soil and joe is not going to do a thing. you killed the "remained in mexico" deal that trump struck with the mexican president where they have to stay there and await a silo. you get rid of that, you're bringing back catch and release.
2:02 pm
catch and release his back now. what is joe's plan? he says we will send millions to central america. how has that worked out for the last couple decades? are those countries really going to build a thriving, safe economy so all the young men don't flee north? when has that ever happened? politicians pocket it and laugh at us. it's a noble thing to reunite families but can we reunite american families first? you can't even see your grandparents anymore. it's absolutely ridiculous. the only people who like this are his donors. open borders, cheap wages, fatter profits. the republican party went strict on the border. democrats sought as an opening to get more donations from wall street and they went way open borders and then the money flowed in. that's what this is about. blacks get heard. middle-class americans get hurt. unions get hurt. democrats don't care. they just want to stay in power
2:03 pm
and keep the donations flowing. it's sad. joe is not that hard to figure out. he's like any other politician, bought and paid for. >> dana: some groups are skeptical of joe biden. at the end of the obama administration they called him the deporter in chief. do they trust joe biden more on this issue? >> juan: they want him to go farther and they are concerned that essentially what he's doing is ordering reviews more so than on doing anything yet. he's clearly keeping his word. this video that he released this afternoon is about promises kept. no surprise here. this is what biden ran on and when he campaigned on and what he promised to do and i think the key thing for him is putting those families back together, family reunification of the children and parents who'd been separated at the border by the trump administration. you go down the list, it's also border security, more effective
2:04 pm
use of technology as opposed to a wall that really wasn't stopping anything. an earned path to citizenship for the people already here in this country. and clear rules. clear rules on the future of immigration to this country specifically asylum, something that every generation has said is a key feature of our immigration laws. to pick up on what jesse was saying, i think the key for me, dana, how quickly and how easily biden is able to try to undo what president trump had done. i think it's because president trump, even though we had control of the house, the senate and the white house for two years, he didn't get immigration reform done. he didn't have a solid policy in place in terms of dealing with the border. never got the funding for the wall approved by the congress. so it's his failure, if you want to be mad at someone, i say be mad at trump. >> dana: it's a 50/50 senate. i can imagine it's going to be easier for joe biden to pass
2:05 pm
legislation. what's on your mind on this topic? >> greg: so many things that juan said. the disincentive, the cause and effect by the reduction of people coming to the border and getting the mexican government to react. it was the success was just why joe has to undo it because he wants to erase any success trump has enacted. as for how easy this is done, juan, joe is doing executive orders and he has the house and senate but he's doing executive orders so that's really easy to do rather than the hard work. the bigger thing is it has never been about separating children from their parents. to print... that's what it is for the past four years has always been a great deception on the part of the democrats. it was about separating children from unrelated adults who were unseemly people. so imagine the outcry if you let
2:06 pm
children go with the coyotes who brought them when they come over and then some died in custody with them, would you trust those coyotes? before you say that isn't a problem, more than 3500 unaccompanied children were found by border control agents in the last two months in the rio grande segment, just two months. they were alone. they were found in the middle of the night, 30 degrees temperatures and routinely they are toddlers. you actually think, you high and mighty, earnest, moral upstanding liberals believe that parents of the people abandoning their children in the mountains. are you that stupid? obviously they are smugglers and you can leave children with smugglers. that was the whole point of this. i guess joe gets to pretend that he's empathetic this isn't empathetic at all, especially as jesse said, to americans. you're going to drive up the need for smugglers. that's already happening.
2:07 pm
you're going to redirect employers to cheaper labor, as jesse said and you're going to apply pressure to a system already in crisis with covid. but i guess you get to look really good and feel great about reuniting families even though it's a load of bull. >> dana: on the ground in a state like arizona or texas. the border states. >> katie: it means that the border patrol is overrun with often -- unaccompanied minors. it's not a simple process. greg is absolutely correct. the panel they are putting together to do family reunification, they are going to find out that a lot of these kids that came with quote parents are not parents at all they were paid by smugglers to bring them to the border. not a single person is getting to the border without paying a coyote or smuggler. the biden administration is setting themselves up to have a massive crisis in the first year and you are seeing officials in the biden administration try to walk it back.
2:08 pm
jen psaki dated today saying don't come here yet. we have to rework the system. officials in dhs saying the same thing because people are listening to the talk in the narrative of the open border policy and smugglers are saying pay us the money. we'll take you to the border and you're going to be able to stay and also on the other side they are creating another public health crisis for themselves. the idea that you can't fly into the united states on an international flight without getting a covid test yet we are just going to have this narrative that we are repealing all of these pieces of memos and executive orders from a previous administration that were put into place for very purposeful reasons, it creates a number of crises in biden's first year. i think they are going to regret this. there will be consequences for these kids and they are going to find out that this was the narrative, separated families, you strip the kids away from their parents arms, their mother's arms. the fact is they were used as shields to get adults, many of
2:09 pm
them criminals come into the united states. that's what they were used for. >> dana: executive order signing is the easy part. implementation is much more difficult. next we have a fox news alert. we are waiting for an fbi news conference on the huge story we've been following all day. two agents were killed and three were wounded serving a search warrant. phil keating is here to break it down. what other details? >> it was a brutal and devastatingly tragic morning down the street behind me inside a gated apartment complex. police just reopened this road to ongoing traffic which had been enclosed off for 11 hours. inside the apartment complex, the five federal fbi agents were attempting to serve a search warrant at an apartment for an ongoing child pornography and violent crime against children's case. instead of surrendering come of the subject inside grabbed his
2:10 pm
gun and started shooting. very rarely does an fbi agent get shot and killed in the line of duty. today five agents were shot in the same scene, two of them dying. take a look at aerial video of the bodies being transported from the hospital to the medical examiner's office. you can see the u.s. flags draped over the bodies with a line of officers and agents somberly saluting the bodies as they were taken away. as you mentioned, there is that news conference coming up at the bottom of the hour by the fbi south florida branch. the name of the suspect has not been released. he died at the scene. apparently by taking his own life. back to you. >> dana: thank you and we will pay attention to when that fbi news conference starts later this hour. vice president kamala harris under fire for her comments to coal miners.

>> jesse: what the heck is kamala harris talking about? mocked for how she was trying to sell guidance create new agenda to coal miners in west virginia. >> when you talk about climate change, the first thing he talks about his job creation. for example, all of those skilled workers who were in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with
2:16 pm
reclaiming abandoned landmines. what we need to do around plugging links from oil and gas wells and transferring those important skills to the work that has yet to be done that needs to get done. >> jesse: landmines? senator tim scott calling out the vp for all of her talk about destroying energy jobs. >> having the vice president talk about destroying coal jobs in west virginia and suggesting that the thing they should do is to go find landmines. number one, one of the reasons why america thinks d.c. is in the swamp is too many politicians talk about things they've never done. why would you send a coal miner who is really good at coal mining but has never been in landmines? that's just ridiculous hyperbole coming from the vice president. >> jesse: dana, you brought this up yesterday on the show. you have a san francisco
2:17 pm
liberal, maybe never even has been to a coal mine in her life. she is deployed to west virginia to lean on joe manchin to with his vote and sticks her converse in her mouth and antagonizes everybody. is she an asset now? you might have to bring her back to train her. >> dana: you are the message. if you remember that. who you sent to do these kinds of things matters. is there nobody else in the biden cabinet or on his team that could've gone to west virginia to do this? i can forgive a verbal gaffe but one of the problems as you send somebody in and they are not authentic, then you end up basically saying that you're going to leave your dangerous job and you're going to go recover explosive devices and minefields. so i can see why everyone is having a chuckle about it. but joe manchin is now one of the most powerful members in the
2:18 pm
united states senate. he knows it. they know it. that's why they tried to deploy it, it backfired and we'll see what happens. he knows now that he can pretty much ask for whatever he wants. >> jesse: we have some sound from senator joe manchin. let's listen, greg you can react. >> i couldn't believe it. nobody called me. we are going to try to find a a bye pattison pathway but we need to work together. >> jesse: no one called him. >> jesse: i can't believe he would talk about the current president of the united states that way. i will defend her a little bit. i'm assuming in good faith she meant land where nonoperational minds are in she just kind of casually screwed up. not actual landmines. land where there were mines. still forgive her that.
2:19 pm
she does these things in a very casual, nonserious waited to suggest people and to a country that runs on coal and gas. it's all the workers and families who rely natural gas and coal.is job creation to coas is stupid. that's the equivalent of telling a doctor to become a mortician just because they work with the human body. it doesn't mean the skills are transferable. you can't just go up to people and go, oh, reclaiming mine. ache solar panels. if you considered interpretive dance? you can see it with such casualness. who said this, katie or dana? you're divorced from the consequences. that's the largest problem with progressives and liberals. they are divorced from all their consequences because there are suggestions always have
2:20 pm
consequences and then they just run away and leave. >> jesse: katie pavlich. >> katie: greg is right, when you say transfer your skills to building solar panels, you're implying that the skill set is not hard and doesn't require any kind of thought process and that you're basically a robot who works in a coal mine. that's not true. it requires lots of engineering, hard work and skills, thinking quick on your feet, safety protocols. there's all kinds of stuff that goes into mining when you say quit your job, get paid half the money just transfer it to something that might be easier for you. better for the environment when it's actually not better for the environment. pretty insulting. on the vice president, this is a reason why kamala harris had to drop out of the democratic primary before the first voting started. she just has nothing -- she's not a principled person. she's very superficial. he just says whatever she has to
2:21 pm
do to get through whatever democratic talking point they are pushing for the day and they tried it in west virginia and they sent a very out of touch person to do it and it fell flat and it's a perfect example of why she is the vice presidential pick on the vice president now versus being able to even make it through the first round of primaries earlier last year. >> jesse: all right, juan, you can admit she made a mistake and there's been a few mistakes by the biden administration out of the gate with regards to energy jobs. >> juan: i think she made a mistake. i don't think there's many mistakes by the biden administration with regard to energy. they made a mistake because -- let me finish. i think manchin is a key ally and you want to make sure that you stand his good side. but the big point to my mind still holds. the big point is that the number of coal mines have been declining in this country. they declined under trump. they continue to decline.
2:22 pm
doesn't matter who is president. that's an industry that's in decline and you have to help those workers. that's why the west virginia economy is in trouble. biden's climate plan seems to me is going to help not only west virginia but it's going to help the whole country in terms of creating those green jobs that everybody except for the far right wants to be upon him that everybody, the big industries from the car industry to the energy industry, manufacturing, they are excited. david gets it's good. wall street thinks it's great. >> jesse: they never did it. >> juan: give me a minute. come on. manchin is chairman of energy and natural resources. number two is lisa murkowski of alaska. they are both on board with the idea of biden's climate change program. they both see that they're going to have a key role to play in the increasing in this country
2:23 pm
for workers who would otherwise find themselves after work -- out of work. that's the way to think about it. >> jesse: all right, i'm thinking about it and i thought about it and they had eight years to create green jobs and they didn't do it and i read you about 20 articles last week proving they didn't do it. >> juan: what did trump do? did he reverse it? closeouts under trump? >> jesse: natural gas is through the roof, juan. get on the natural gas train. it's clean. it's abundant. it safe and it's here in america. you banded on federal land. up next, remember how america had a ton of fun with this photo of bernie? a liberal teacher claims in the the-- claims it's an example of white privilege.

2:29 pm
the school district renamed the art department because acronyms arise from white supremacy. it had stood for visual and performing arts. they add acronyms express things like white privilege qualities, individualism, perfectionism, objectivity. those are white privilege qualities. in this world where polarization is the word of the day, widespread more polarizing dogma? every i.d. is reduced to a quick bait. it's killing us literally. one of the most obvious findings in social science, reductions in effective policing correlate with rising crime. less cops, more crime. the reductions in policing were obviously linked to cries of systemic racism. now you see the dramatic rise in victims happened to be black. while it's a laugh to think mittens are racist, after 2020, the joke isn't that funny anymore. you wonder how long a country can endure when everything in it
2:30 pm
is deemed racist. billions of dollars in businesses were burned to the ground last summer. minority owned businesses too. i've got some of them sold jackets and mittens at affordable prices. dana, i am looking, are you wearing a turtleneck? that smacks of white privilege. >> dana: it is turtleneck week. i'm going to wear when every day. it's cold and it's winter. we are remote. this is what i wanted to know. i think it's ridiculous. but if you're the editor of "the san francisco chronicle," why would you ever accept a stupid piece like this? that's what i don't understand. i guess it's quick bait and it's kind of fun but it's preposterous. why ideas like this. it's not just that she put it on twitter. valuable space in the local newspaper. and now international. >> greg: i can answer.
2:31 pm
i think it is the sf gate. i will think the chronicle exists anymore. what's the problem with local papers? they are starving for content. anybody can write for them, even jesse watters. jesse. >> jesse: yes. here's my interpretation. a black bernie wouldn't have rocked the mittens because a black bernie would've felt social pressure to dress in dress code wears white bernie doesn't feel that because he's so privileged he can go casual. casual bernie is funny and that's the meme. she is mad at that. as you know, we did our dna test. i am 0.1% black. i don't think i am black enough to understand if black people feel that privilege so i'm going to sit this one out but i will say i don't think race has anything to do with it. i think bernie sanders doesn't
2:32 pm
own in the black isa toner leather gloves. i think bernie got mittens for free or bought them for 20 bucks and wore a park on because he's 80 and freezing. and he probably wouldn't be warm enough in nice blue topcoat. that's what this is about. nothing more, nothing less. >> greg: i'm glad you explained that. the thing that bugs me most is when they say things like individualism and perfectionism and objectivity are signs of white white's primacy as though minorities can't be individualistic's. it's racist towards minority, not whites. >> juan: i don't know where you're going without but i will say i think let's be thankful for the city by the bay because i think they gave us clint eastwood. the grateful dead. that part of the thing about bernie sanders, i think that was
2:33 pm
just another gift from san francisco. this time to conservatives because now they can use it to talk about it rather than focus on things like impeachment or things like their own party being in the midst of a terrific civil war. we can talk about the silliness of this thing with bernie's mittens but white supremacy and seeing the confederate flag being marched through the u.s. capitol on january 6, that's no joke. that really happened. that's really evidence of the continuing threat of violence that comes with white supremacy in this country. i'm so glad -- >> jesse: juan, lighten up. we are talking about mittens. >> juan: most of that article in the silliness of bernie's mittens was seeing white supremacy exhibited on january 6 of the capitol. >> greg: she sees it everywhere, in the mittens. that's the point. if she focused on a guy running around with the confederate flag saying racist stuff.
2:34 pm
yes, it is. that's why we are doing it. >> juan: i just answered it but you didn't want to hear it. because again, white supremacy is something -- i don't know what you want to do with it, greg. but it's a real issue, bigger issue right now than it's been for many years. >> greg: what do i want to do with it. all right. katie. >> katie: if you want people to take white supremacy seriously then don't water it down and say that bernie sanders worry mittens is somehow white supremacy. the way that you take white supremacy seriously is not by trivializing the issue by writing about it in a column like this. i'm glad that she called out that bernie sanders is a classicist. he's a very rich person. if acronyms are now a representation of white supremacy, you may want to tell blm. because that's also an acronym. >> dana: [laughs]

>> juan: jesse, when i was a white house reporter, i think there were gag goals. the press secretary would even -- there were gaggles. they would alert the president as to which reporter would ask about which topic. why is it controversial? >> jesse: i'm torn. i like the story because it confirms my bias but i hate the fact that "the daily beast" broke it. i don't trust them. i don't know how to process this. the department of justice just appointed the business associate of the lawyer representing hunter biden. why hasn't that been asked about? biden killed 10,000 pipeline jobs on his first week. it seems like a good question. why haven't they asked if joe knows tony b. still not gotten the answer to the fact that joe biden shared
2:51 pm
an office with the money man for the chinese communist energy billionaire. shared an office with a guy named don and we don't get questions like that. we don't get questions like his executive orders on immigration have been thrown in the dumpster by a federal judge. or the fact that his energies are said build solar panels. seems to me, i don't know. have you noticed a change in tone and the white house press briefing room? i can't put my finger on it. seems that the reporters agree with everything joe is doing. >> juan: okay. katie, you're capable of asking very tough questions. we see jen psaki holding daily briefings, getting back, circling back to reporters. do you think she's doing a good job? >> katie: i think she could be better prepared.
2:52 pm
i think it's an effort by the team to get more information about what reporters were interested in asking about but i think it's a great opportunity to send "watters world" of the white house briefing and ask questions. >> jesse: jen! over here. >> juan: greg, we talk about the change. there is no "the press is the enemy of the people," no cancel culture, attacks on reporters. do you think they are doing a better job? more disciplined? >> greg: they are not even working anymore. let's face it. at least trump engaged with them and it was interesting and they were on their toes. the sad thing is she is prepped and she is still not doing very good. i am with jesse. i don't trust anything that comes out of "the daily beast." who knows. i will say this. this might have been going on for a long time but not reported on which is kind of interesting because the reporters didn't want to say anything because they were the beneficiary. probably somebody that was pissed off, but jesse is right.
2:53 pm
why are there so many things that are not asked? they are not asking about joe's plans with north korea. maybe he doesn't need to make up a plan because trump solved it. maybe he can unsolved the north korea success story within executive action. how about that? >> juan: all right. "one more thing" up next for you on "the five."
