the pandemic at the same time. >> neil: you got it. senator, very good to see you. chris van hollen, thank you for taking the time. that package, $1.9 trillion stimulus plan, the biden white house very confident it can get done and in a matter of weeks. here's a "the five." ♪ ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i'm dana perino along with jesse watters, greg gutfeld, juan williams, and dagen mcdowell. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." has impeachment managers wrapping up their final arguments in the case against former president trump. this comes as we get reports that democrats are a focus group testing their message during the impeachment trial. much of what they had to say today. >> no matter how many people inside and outside of government begged him to condemn extreme elements, promoting violence and

indeed civil war in america, and race war in america, he just wouldn't do it. >> he intended the events of january 6th to happen, and when it did, he delighted in it. speak of these insurrectionists incited by president trump threatened our national security. >> dana: former president trump's lawyers are set to deliver their defense tomorrow. they are giving us a preview on how they are prepared to push back against democrats' charges. watch here. >> why do we ignore the word "peacefully"" why do we ignore the context to cheer on legislatures to have courage and that sort of thing? this is what you get when you bring in a movie company at higher a large law firm to make a professional product that takes things out of context and presents it as an entertainment package. >> dana: republican senators continuing to say that the math isn't there for a conviction. watch. >> i think most republicans found the presentation by the house managers offensive and

absurd. >> really what the aim is, i think i'm is to humiliate president trump, to discredit his policies, and shame the 74 million people who voted for him into conformity. >> what we are watching is a total kangaroo court. totally unconstitutional and incredibly selfish! >> dana: i wanted to kick us off today, day three of this trial. >> juan: i'm listening carefully because i'm anticipating what the trump team will have to say in response tomorrow, but so far, all i'm hearing is thin. they don't seem to have the facts on their side. they can't pound the table because they haven't been at the table yet. they will get their chance tomorrow, so i think what they are doing is sending. talking about things like, why do they have a focus group? is it unusual for lawyers and politicians to have focus groups? no. they talk about, well, president trump once said the word "peacefully." but what about the months in

which he was saying let's gather at the capital and fight people, to act in a way that was clearly beyond the pale. all of those things. it's like, who cares customers i want to hear the facts, the case built on what we heard today from jamie raskin quoting thomad hard facts. the videos we've seen over the last two days, the statements from president trump. even the fact that a number of his own aides and officials resigned in protest over his failure to quash what was the violence that they saw taking place. so i think after the last two days, three days, that it's still likely the president will be acquitted but it's because people choose to ignore a solid wall of evidence, sky high that's been built to say that this is a high crime and

misdemeanor of the worst kind, attack on the government. so some people put their feet up on the table and say that while it is not there, i've got other things to do. but i think they made a really good case. >> dana: how about you, dagan? good to see you today. >> dagen: good to see you. 44 senators think this trial is unconstitutional. to get a conviction you need 11 more republicans to vote, good luck with that, not going to happen. but you focus group something when you are selling a product, to hone your pitch. what the democrats are selling his hatred of things trump. that's not just the man, the orange ogre who is blamed for all evils emanating from washington and around the world, the bogeyman that the left hid behind for more than four years to hide their fecklessness and their incompetence, and their disdain for working men and women. the evil that they are selling

is trump voters. 74 million americans. they are no longer just deplorable, rude, and bigots clinging to their guns and bibles. in the left-wing universe you've heard in the last two days, though trump voters on the capitol hill rioters, all of them. they are queuing on devotees, proud boys and girls to be silenced, shamed, persecuted, destroyed, democrats in control forever. that is the goal and now you have big tech, big media and academia locking arms with the democrats in government and the left is closer than ever to complete dominance. that's the goal, that's what they are pitching. >> dana: greg, i think you're riding some notes and if we were at the table i would steal a glance to find out what those notes were but maybe you will share them with us here. >> greg: i was drying the unicorn, dana. no, i just rode that juan approved why this was a failure. he mentioned that trump indeed said peaceful, patriotic

protests, and part of the wall of evidence, this incredible, solid wall of evidence, all he could come up with was go to the capital. yes, he said go to the capital and protest peacefully. that's why it failed, because it is subjective. this is literally a show trial and it puts the show in trial. it is designed -- because they lack the actual factual evidence of incitement because it's subjective, and there is no way to prove it objectively, they exploit the imagery in order to make you feel a certain way. it's propaganda. and then when you challenge the evidence, as a juan implied yesterday, today, it's because you can't be bothered. you really don't care. you don't care as much as they do. no, we actually understand and we have stated repeatedly that we found the events reprehensible, as we also found the events over the summer to be reprehensible. we don't favor one mob over the other. but whenever you question the

media narrative, something happens. you do not engage in debate, you demonize. if you question the media on police brutality by presenting alternative, actual data, then you are defending police brutality. if you question the computer modeling of climate change then they say you want to ruin the environment. if you argue against minimum wage, then you hate the poor. this whole thing is in line with the media and the democrats coming together to demonize you, but they failed because they chose the incitement argument, which can be completely rejected because the bar is so low in their lame brains that you can apply it to everybody and anybody. if you go tell a comedian of "break a leg," you broke a law that they, buddy, and you can find thousands, thousands of examples over the summer of incendiary language using their judgment. the only difference is that they use a different standard with leftists. but we are going to change that

now. we are going to change that. we have to. we are going to hold them to the same standards they are holding republicans, conservatives, libertarians and trump. >> dana: i was just thinking back to who was at that added libertarians of the other day? >> dagen: it was brandon. >> dana: and the libertarians, don't forget them. jessie, you're not taking notes but i have a feeling you have all your notes right up here. share your thoughts. >> jesse: i have a few. the president had actually committed incitement under criminal law then juan would have been repeating that word he said for the last month. there is no evidence. criminally, that he incited anything or we would have heard about it every single day. what's going on right now on the senate floor, the democrats have created a tortured chamber for republicans and they are inflicting as much pain and suffering as possible and the

viewers on cnn and msnbc are delighting in it because they are basically burning trump alive at the stake for the sins of a few people on the french and just trying to decapitate the heirs to his legacy. so when any republican runs, if they vote to acquit, they will just run an ad tying him to a mob, and if they vote to convict, they will get primary aid. that's what's going on here. the stories about political parties policing their fringes. republicans do that. after this happened, unequivocally condemned by every single elected republican in the country and the grassroots. they want everybody locked up. see, we want our fringe in jail. the democrats bailed out there fringe and they had their friendly d.a.s drop charges on the fringe. the republican party after the sixth didn't go out and say, what happened on the capital was a mess. they didn't get their buddies to drop charges, they didn't say,

who says protests have to be peaceful? no. republicans were ashamed of what happened and they wanted it to go away as quickly as possible, and they helped lock these guys up. so when i hear democrats that don't have any principles, that are just dripping in hypocrisy, wagging their finger at us after they increased their fringe and caused all that death and destruction this summer, i'm not going to take you seriously, because republicans didn't hold bernie sanders accountable when his followers shot to scalise. we didn't slap charges on the squad when police precincts were being burned down and david dorn was being shot dead. or rand paul got his ribs cracked. or the trump family had rice and sent to his house. we were going around locking people up when republican precincts were firebombed and shot and burned. we didn't start charging democrats. what is going on right now is

sick because if you, like greg said, that you disagree that this may be wasn't a terror attack as what cnn said, that, then all of a sudden the fbi is going to come and you're going to use your account on twitter. it makes you think the democrats feel that you are the actual enemy, considering the fact that they now have spent half a billion military rising washington, d.c., after this. >> dana: all right. a blog secured. coming up, progressives ramping up pressure on president biden to go nuclear to more than double the minimum wage. also don't forget to follow "the five" on social media to continue the conversation. we would love to see you there. ♪ ♪ good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

♪ ♪ >> dagen: joe biden living up to his promise to be one of the most progressive presidents ever, and it's still not enough of the far left. the so-called centrist is now under pressure to go nuclear to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. bernie sanders pressing by the budget office. >> will you at this point commit to doing what president biden and i and many others want to see happen, and that is help us move to end starvation wages in america by raising the minimum wage over a period of several years? >> absolutely. >> dagen: squad member cori bush says $15 an hour is only the beginning. >> we have to start with a $15 an hour minimum wage, it's the start. it should be higher than that right now but that's where we

are. we have to at least give people that. >> dagen: way more than 100,000 restaurants went out of business last year. i guess that's not enough. >> greg: first off, we've got to address the new phrase "starvation wages." the idea that people in the u.s. are starving when 40% of young adults ages 20 to 39 are obese, the number goes to 49% when you are my age, early 40s. you can make an argument about the minimum wage without suggesting the other side wants to starve people to death so let's not give into their language. people forget what minimum wage is. your point about restaurants, it's the starting point, not the finishing point. you are only supposed to be on that first run for three to six months. we all made minimum wage. i made $3.35 an hour and you couldn't wait to get up higher. it was actually excitement, really positive excitement to work hard and the point is

always forgotten by these economics deniers that someone at that pizza joint already makes $15 and he has been there for a year, so when you raise the minimum wage for that entry level, what you got to do for everybody else including that other guy? you've got to raise their salary too because you can't have the minimum wage be the same as that other guy because then he wasn't making minimum wage before. so goodbye pizza parlor, which is what you saw happen, we covered it in seattle or the state of washington when they raised the minimum wage and all these local restaurants went -- or caput. >> dagen: not only does it destroy jobs, 1.4 million jobs, but to greg's point, it actually raises prices in food businesses and in-service businesses, and so if you've got inflation, the people who still have jobs are paying higher costs, less money in the pocket for fun things. >> dana: if you make that argument then with people who support the $15 minimum wage or

more, as congresswoman bush does, they will say yes, some people might lose their jobs but these many more people will be lifted out of poverty. so you have this binary situation. actually, nobody really has made any new political arguments about this. it's the same old thing as before. but here's the thing, if you think back to january 20th, 1 of the first things president biden did, kill the keystone pipeline. he has taken many very left-wing positions through these executive orders already, but when it came to the minimum wage, he said on an interview he did with norah o'donnell, i actually don't think that's going to be in the bill and we will try another time and he seemed okay with that but what do chuck and nancy say? not so fast, we are going to do it anyway. and they are pushing forward. so no matter what he does for the left, it will never be enough. if you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to want a glass of milk, i think that's how that story goes. i do wonder if there's a way for

somebody out there to explain in a better way what people really want. they want opportunity, economic opportunity. the ability to move up. maybe there is something that needs to be done, conservatives ought to take a look at that and do a little bit better. i think president trump looked at that and try to figure out a way to do that a little bit better but it can't just be the fact that some people are going to lose their jobs but some people are going to be lifted out of poverty. okay, that's great? no, that's not great. >> dagen: juan, the issue is, to dana's point, the cost of living in many states, a series of regional economies, the cost-of-living in the 20 states that have the federal minimum wage right now, the cost of living is so low, businesses can't afford to pay somebody working at a gas and a sip

what's in but he makes in new york city or san francisco, as aminimum. >> juan: right, you hear from joe manchin saying that it should be $11 in his opinion, the state he represents but i just wanted to say off the top that this is no radical proposal in the hands of the radical left. i believe i have here 83% of americans say that $7.25 is just not enough. half of america supports $13 to $15, or higher. and as dana was saying, we know this will pull millions of americans out of poverty and raise the wages of others. and i just want to emphasize this point you were making about the states because several states have minimum wage is higher than $7.25 right now. you take a state like florida, conservative leadership, the governor, they right now have a $10 an hour minimum wage, and in last november's election, they

raised it, they voted to raise it in the next five years to guess what? $15. so to me, this is evidence. americans see this is a good thing, it has not wrecked economies in the several states that have raised their own minimum wage. it has not had the impact you're talking about on restaurants or businesses. it just hasn't. and by the way, in terms of aoc and bernie, i think they have to deal with senator manchin, they have to deal with senator sinema. these are people who are moderates, they are not buying into any radical agenda. >> dagen: it's because it's not a federal $15 minimum wage. different states get to choose what their minimum wages are, and jesse, 900,000 people would be lifted out of poverty. just to correct that. and you know who gains from this? amazon. amazon and target, who has gotten bigger and more powerful in the last year so you are going to crush small businesses

and hand more power to jeff bezos, like he needs it. >> jesse: you know what the poverty level was before the pandemic? 10.5%. that is the lowest poverty rate in american history. happened under donald trump your donald trump brought more people out of poverty anybody since 1950. if you want to bring people out of poverty, reduce regulations, reduced taxes, and make america competitive in the international arena. it was "the new york times" that said under donald trump in 2019, median household u.s. income, $69,000. adjusted for inflation, it's the highest record we've ever had since we started keeping records in 1967. it you know benefited most? blacks and hispanics. that's where the wages grew the most rapidly, and the black poverty level went below 20% for

the first time. so record low black and hispanic and white poverty, and record high wages. and a record amount of people in the workforce. so if democrats want to fight poverty and give people a raise, just do what trump did. if you really care, that's what you'd do. >> dana: amen. >> dagen: we got to go. >> juan: we are talking about $30,000. that's what minimum wage of $15 would equal. >> dagen: $15 -- >> jesse: yeah, i'm talking about the whole country, juan. >> dagen: you eliminate entry-level jobs and the opportunity for people to rise up and make money and grow and be prosperous. up next, president biden tearing into trump, accusing him of failing america on the covid vaccine. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

news. >> dana: great! >> jesse: juan, my parents just got their first dose, so i made my liberal mother thanked donald trump for operation warp speed and she did thank him for that. are we going to hear a lot of this for the next year, that it's trump's fault, it's trump's fault, and are americans going to buy that? >> juan: let's just start with what president biden had to say, jesse. but before i say that, let me say congratulations because it's been confusing, and i know it personally. i've got my first shot, i'm waiting on my second, so congrats to your parents. >> jesse: thank you thank you. >> juan: but it's been confusing because there is no federal standard as to how the vaccine has been distributed. clearly, we don't have enough people and clearly, we don't have enough vaccine. so what biden said is true. we can deal with the politics. should he be blaming his predecessor, i will leave that to the audience to decide.

but clearly, what he is saying is we need federal leadership in a way that wasn't provided by president trump. we know president trump prefers to leave everything to the state but when it comes to vaccines, because of the role played by the cdc and nih approving the vaccines and all the rest, in terms of the different types and how it deals with the different mutations, we need federal government leadership and he's having to improvise in terms of putting in place standards, getting the people out there who can deliver the vaccine. that's all coming under president biden. >> jesse: dagen, could the president have ordered, i don't know, 600 million vaccine doses in november? isn't every other country in the world placing orders? i don't see how pfizer could physically manufacture that many doses only for america, as much as i would love for that to

happen. >> dagen: and the order that the biden administration has put in, it doesn't even take into account vaccines from astrazeneca and johnson & johnson coming on the way but i won't get into that. why didn't joe biden have a plan in place before he took office? now he is like tap dancing and like loblaw, serving us up a tall drink of hogwash. and by the way, you know how states were prepared? because they were busy panic peddling about, the vaccine is not going to come because the liberal leaders in the big blue states, they couldn't admit that a vaccine was on the way ahead of the election. so they put people's lives at risk by that. biden and kamala harris panic peddling on the campaign trail. now they have to go out into an educational campaign on people taking the vaccine. we were vaccinating before christmas more people than any other country in the world, so joe biden doesn't have a plan,

that's on him. >> jesse: didn't juan say crime and schools? those are just local issues, right? nothing to do what the federal government. >> greg: now this is all federal leadership and to what dagen said, i think i remember biden telling us he had a plan. he had a plan, but now he is saying he doesn't have a plan. by the way, it is perfectly normal, obama dumped on bush, so this is kind of a tradition when you come in, to dump on the guy before you but this is going way too far. at a certain point you have to accept the fact that he is your president. he's using trump to cover up his painful lack of vision. his moon shot was end of april, one day a week of school. i mean, i wouldn't call that winston churchill. it's about as inspiring as in unsalted peanuts. the creation of the vaccine is nothing short of miraculous.

joe was given a gift and he doesn't know what to do with it and saying that hey, i just ordered new doses, that doesn't mean anything. you could order 5 billion doses. i think we should order 4 billion doses. does that make me a better president? no, it's about the distribution. anything can call it order. i call in orders all day but it's mainly for fried chicken. >> jesse: another thing you like to order. where are these federal injection sites that joe biden had campaigned on? had we even rung one up? >> dana: in terms of a one-size-fits-all approach was not a good idea, that's what you have the task force to coordinate. some states have done better than others. west virginia has done extremely well. part of that is because it's a smaller state, let people know each other there, they have to work together and figure it out. i do think regardless of even if you have a federal program, you are still going to need to help

people, especially elderly people figure it out, try to get online and go through 80 different websites in order to finally get their appointment. that is actually the big problem and the big bottleneck and may be big tech could help. that would be good if they could help on that. and just remembering back to the first year, president obama, his favorite phrase was "get a mop" if you remember that. >> jesse: i do remember that, we had to get out of the ditch too. i don't miss that. >> dagen: quickly, this fox news alert, my dad got his second shot. >> dana: party! >> dagen: i'm worried about him breaking a hip or catching something else, if you know what i mean. >> jesse: all right, i'm glad to hear that. up next, the opioid epidemic continues to surge in the united states and doctors say what the white house just did is about to make it a lot worse. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

waiver but it was president trump's action as an executive order on the last day he was in office and the biden people are saying they need to make sure it doesn't open the door to prescriptions for drugs that make the problem worse, do you agree? >> dagen: know, and i'm not going to base that on my opinion, i'm just going to base it on research and writings from doctors, that when france eliminated a similar regulation, the number of patients receiving this drug increased tenfold. opioid overdose deaths dropped by 80%. if you want congress to pursue this, get rid of this requirement, let them do that but keep this order in place until they do that. where i come from they are doing more ambulance runs for overdose deaths than they are for covid. >> juan: it's really a sad situation. people say it's great, you don't

have to train the doctors put on the other hand if you're putting out a new drug, you could create a new problem. >> greg: they are wrong. everybody involved in this is making this worse. i'm going to make a disclaimer. i would kidnap jesse's dog right now for an opioid. i fell on my butt on the ice, on my tailbone come on saturday and it's excruciating but i ain't going to the doctor to ask for percocet because i know he's not going to give it to me because the doctors are unfairly over scrutinized because of the terrible media reporting on these overdose deaths which are misapplying the harm on prescription drugs. this is a horrible mistake made this is killing thousands of people, the overwhelming majority of overdoses involve fentanyl which is found in street drugs coming from china. an overwhelming majority of people using illegal opioids, however, do not get addicted. i studied the data, i have

written on it, i presented it here. the sad fact is any time you limit legal opioids you send people to the streets, they purchase inconsistent mixtures that vary in strength and then they stop breathing and they die. there is a couple of solutions you asked me, places should be able to sell products that test the ingredients of the drugs that you buy. they exist, they exist in other countries. we don't sell them. we need to undo the draconian measures that demonize opioid users for the lawful user of anything is on safer grounds than the unlawful user. the overdoses deaths go down because the drug is pure, it's clean, it's, it's measurable. from bathtub gin's to the 1920s to the fentanyl if an laced xanax in your pusher's stash, we know this is a fact and we are denying it because we have made drugs into the

bogeyman that it isn't. it's just a substance that needs to be regulated. >> juan: jessie, i'm all for your dog, let's keep away from greg but where do you come out on this? >> jesse: greg's threat to kidnap a rookie notwithstanding, he is correct. it's fentanyl that is the killer and china is the world's largest functional exporter. it's a synthetic, they sent it to the cartels in mexico, the cartels in mexico cook it up with chinese equipment in their labs and they sent it across the southern border and it is distributed all throughout the country and now it looks like about 50,000 people are dying here in america because of fentanyl. now the chinese are washing the cartel cash, so now the cartels are making huge profits from it, but the chinese are using drug warfare. this is a strategy, a geopolitical strategy, juan. they want our country hooked and addicted and that helps them. you combine that with all the

factories and the jobs that they stole, that is a one-two punch to the gut that's hurting us. if you have open borders, you are only allowing the chinese fentanyl and the cartels to just swing up through texas and arizona and kill our people and it needs to be locked down and it needs to be locked down aggressively. i would consider it an act of war. >> juan: dana, there's a lot of pressure on biden to in fact name somebody to head the national drug control policy, the food and drug administration, the dea. let's get that in place. i think they think that's a bigger issue, what do you think? >> dana: greg gutfeld as on ecp chair, that could go very well. >> greg: you couldn't trust me with the stash. >> dana: i wouldn't disagree with anything that was said. i would add this, executive orders, it's their prerogative but you also have the opportunity when you find one to explain it well. i think they are so determined to overturn lots of things that

president trump dead and i get it, but on some of these things it doesn't make sense. explain this more to us than -- and why not take the easy win and say gosh, trump already did it, we will keep an eye on it and let it go. i would also add to this, when president trump did an executive order to deal with insulin prices for people with diabetes on the first day or within the first couple of days, biden reversed that too but really no explanation so people are left wondering what's going on here. >> juan: okey-doke. don't go anywhere, folks. more of "the five" coming right up, for you. ♪ ♪ ♪ i've got the brains,♪ ♪ you've got the looks ♪ ♪ let's make lots of money ♪ ♪ you've got the brawn ♪ ♪ i've got the brains ♪ ♪ let's make lots of... ♪ ♪ uh uh uh ♪
