. >> i want to get dana in. what do you think? >> i think obamacare will be jessie's choice next year because all of the things that are starting to roll out in 2014 which were designed to come after the tion will continue. so i'll choose another one even though obamacare is the most significant story. it is the irs targeting of conservative groups. that story has faded to the background but the consequences and the impact of that story will be if you continue to see the distrust of government across the board, that will actually hurt america in the long run. so that story i think was maybe -- doesn't show as much on some of the lists but for impact that, that was a good one. >> significant story for sure. jedda dia, how are you doing this evening? >> i'm doing well. i think particularly obama saying if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period, over and over again. i think it affected the credibility of the president. a lot of people believed him up to that point. then people questioned the man behind the presidency. but

i know, dana has a bad taste. >> i'm still angry about the jodi arias trial. >> that's okay. >> dana was like, there are nof words. okay. but we have a lot of words left. let me tell you, up next an alarming report from the left wing media about the benghazii attack. bob, it keeps coming. kbr is the new york times stilln pushing the videod and what e impact could this have on hilary clinton's 2016 white house run.f all the heated reaction and on bob's nonsense coming up on the five. don't go away. coming up, bob's reaction. don't go away. >>> the new york times published a story about the deadly attacks in benghazi last year. the times said al qaeda was not that an american-madehe video mocking islam led to the attack, that filled four americans, including ambassador chris stevens. the report was on tv yesterday. >> this was not a street protest or a copy cat of what happened in cairo. that was an unarmed street protest. this is a group of armed men inspired by a video who deliberately attacked a compound, motivated in large part by the video. >> but house intelligence committee chai

so to dana's point, why aren't they doing something. if he has no intention of harming the united states? >> he doesn't have to do anything. he has learned we'll come to him. by the way, let's face it, the world is an awful place. and it speaks to a contrast in perspectives in this world, us versus them. and there are people within the united states who will feel the prevailing system is the u.s. is the rootd of all evil. anything that is happening. whether it is global warming or poverty in the east, it has to . but when we see the stories over and over again we are reminded that the world, like dana, is nasty, brutus and short. and the only gleaming hope in this world is the united states. and we're educating people every year that this place is rotten and we're the only hope. >> it is all those dam professors. >> very quickly, bob, before we get to north korea. you worked in the white house. >> right. >> what would you advise them to do? >> i would be careful saying we haven't made progress, and the sanctions is the biggest stau you

dana, making faces. >> i'm tired of the story. >> you are? >> boo hoo. talk about? dogs. >> i think people are underest pating -- underestimating how sensitive people were to the comment and that they were hurt by them. so then i also think that i can't judge anybody else, because i've got plenty of my own sinz i have to deal with and i'll deal with that with god. i think people are ready for christmas and to move on from this. a&e will not pull the show, creighton barrel -- >> cracker barrel. >> cracker barrel will not pull the show. they don't have oatmeal there. >> they have serving dishes. >> i think that people are ready to -- >> but real quick, from a communication perspective, do you like the way cracker barrel handled it and said we made a mistake and we listened to our consumers and now here is what we'll do. >> the companies don't talk to the p.r. person before they do it. it is after the fact. remember the airline that charged veterans coming home from afghanistan for their bags, and nobody talked to the p.r. person before doing this. >> and t

dana?> i liked the rob ford thing and weiner was not that interesting but on obamacare, the scandal, but the benghazi and the irs, they were the two. but when you say you get on a airplane and things pass, that is like the scandal. >> i think rob forward was the most fun of all scandals, but i'm agreeing with the benghazi theme because if i'm not mistaken, clinton testified in january of this year because she bumped her head and couldn't testify right away. >> at this point what difference does it make. >> about four dead americans. that is one of the biggest scandals and that will live on again, maybe not in '14, but in '16. >> first of all, what happened to your shoulder pad -- pads? >> what? they don't have shoulder pads. >> it looks great from this angle. and this guy says i'm not an addict, but only inny drunken stupor. let me tell you, you're an addict. and then weiner, his wife standed next to him and i don't know why she does that. and barack obama, if you are not bilingual, he didn

dana?barbara walters special because i like those end of the year lists to look back and say, what was -- you're nodding. i knew you would think that. i do think the miley cyrus pick was purely for ratings and not for content. i don't find her fascinating. >> there's content there but not in the brains. >> i think she missed an opportunity to pick someone in philanthropy and pick someone obscure, or someone doing something around the world, like pencils of promise or -- >> there's also -- there were several medal of honor recipients that could have been chosen and highlighted as well and they don't make the list. because it's not on the cover of "people" magazine. >> kimye, kim kardashian and kanye. they can't win. >> human beings don't walk around and say, i'm fascinated by something. you don't sit around and say, i'm fascinated. face naturing is a fake word created by people in print and tv when they have nothing else to say. it's a stupid, fake word. phenomena are fascinating. why we're

dana, have you done all of your christmas shopping?did something that i think a lot of women do which is i went to get my husband a present today to make sure i was ready for christmas, and i bought three things for myself: because they were on sale. and i'm wearing one -- i shouldn't have said this because he's probably watching. there will be something under the tree for him, i just don't know what it will be. >> i thought the commercials this year weren't as anoig as others. >> i like the home depot commercial. >> let me like at this apple. >> i'm looking at that joe boxer ad with the men in the boxers, i just want to make a point. it is called christmas eve, not christmas steve. it makes me sick to my country the way this country is going. it is offensive to me. >> are you joking? >> i could say i'm joking. i like people not to know. a couple of thoughts here. one, why doesn't someone come up with a delivery wrapping van, that comes to your house like a food truck and wraps your presents. because i can't do it. and i don't want to

dana?> zain asher, thank you very much. >>> well, apparently a 10% discount on pillows isn't enough to smooth over things with millions of target consumers who had their credit cards and debit cards, all the information on it stolen. the retail giant is now at the center of a legal bull's eye after customers filed at least three lawsuits seeking class action status against the chain. one suit claims target failed quote, to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature and scope of the information compromised in the data breach. last week, target sent a notice to millions of customers who had sensitive information like credit card security codes and expiration dates compromised between november 27th and december 15th. to make up for it, target offered victims of the breach a 10% discount and free credit monitoring, but for some consumers, that just doesn't cut it. joining me now to talk about this is shawn henry, an expert on all things securit

. >> joining me now are jared bernstein and dana milbank. dana, a deal. can they sell this deal? >> well, i think they can, rev repd. it's not clear paul ryan can sell it to a majority of his caucus, but they're taking it to the floor anyway. it's something to celebrate in it beats a shutdown. it's not something to celebrate they put aside all the big deals. doing something about tax reform, entitlement. and just said what's a small thing we can agree on in the short-term. >> but they do need to sell it, dana. they need democratic votes to even get this out of the house. >> definitely are going to need democratic votes. and i expect democrats will be an easier sell for this because they're replacing some of the sequester. not all of it. they didn't get that far. but the cuts aren't going to be quite as deep as they otherwise would have been. i think democrats are going to say it's better than we had otherwise even though we don't like it. >> it's a narrow deal, jared. because you're dealing with it does reduce the sequester by $65 billion. but nobody got what they wanted on the e

that would be amazing. >> are you living day-to-day, dana? real tough on this talk -- show money. >> yes. it is so hard. but i was going to say, a few weeks ago robert right is complaining about philanthropy in america and some people give to the arts and sciences rather than to homeless people and should there be some sort of -- better morales, this is his point, not mine, that he was making and i think there are different ways to give and tips for jesus is -- >> and there are a lot of charities that give maybe 10 cents to 15 cents on the dollar get given to the people in need. but bartenders and waitress and waitresses are people in need. this is great. >> greg, that was a terrible thing to say. i lot of people in park west leave a tip for a check like that. >> these tips are from jesus. he never made it into my parents' restaurant. >> what if you are the other waiter and it doesn't happen for you. >> that is a good point. >> if you are the busboy that is great, there is a tip share. >> but what if they don't. >> then they get to take it ho

i'm greg and kimberly, and she snow-skis on a wish bone, dana perino. surprise, this is "the five." >> the white house has spoken. the obamacare web site is success and by their measure, why not look at other government successes. the postal service, the dmv, green jobs, war on drugs, the irs, obamacare hit rock bottom. a high-speed train to failure. is it really a success even by their own claims? maybe, much like a one dimensional town in a gun smoke episode, it looks real but don't lean on it. it could fall. signing up for obama car is like poking root kill with a. the only movement is from the stick. like mine after five day thursday the tropics it ain't working. so, obamacare's real success is showing the gulf between public and private standards. private profits from pleasure to standards are high. publicken sures survival. failure unmeasured blossoms, requiring more bureaucrats to manage the disaster so instead of putting out a fire we hire more arsonis arsonists but demos shouldn't fret. this may pass if the republicans chase sillier stuff. smal

jim pinkerton, fox news contributor, and dana milbank, columnist for "the washington post." given the magnitude of the mistake on this benghazi story, was cbs justified in suspending lara logan? >> absolutely. this was a colossal mistake and something had to be done. that isn't to take away from lara logan and max mcclellan, who are very good journalists. but this is true in any corporation. when something goes wrong, you have to apologize and take action in order to maintain your credibility. >> i'm told the suspension will be for a significant period of time, not just a couple of weeks, which some might see as a slap on the wrist. but jim woods, someone without the track record and star power of lara logan have been fighting this. >> that's possible. an old joke in journalism, too good to check. if you make millions a year, you're obligated. jeff factor, overall in charge of the show, why didn't he suspend himself as well as logan and mcclellan? >> that's a serious suggestion? >> why not? if accountability means accountability, the people who make the mistakes are accounta

i'm dana perino. it's 5:00 and this is "the five." >>> obama care doesn't have much appeal to the american people. the white house is trying to change that by bringing in the so called sexiest man a live. no not greg gutfeld. no. to turn the tide, they went to, that's right. maroon 5 singer adam levine to kick off a new social media campaign to try to get other people to enroll along with some other stars. this sow get people enrolled. the effort is called tell a friend get covered. other celebrities include fireman dresher and pit bull. here's a video put out for today's launch. ♪ if you need health care, sign up, because it's hot, sign up because it's hot ♪ >> got it going on ♪ >> oh, wow. i hadn't seen that. greg when you hear from adam levine, i know you have great, tremendous respect. >> absolutely. >> if he were to tell you to go by health insurance, would you run or sprint to buy health insurance? >> here's a fun fact a lot people don't know about. i'm actually happy he's involved in the govern

i'm dana bash.ou're in "the situation room." >>> right now, residents are being allowed to return to a small north dakota town where an oil train crash triggered explosions and a huge fireball. hundreds of people were evacuated after warnings that the fumes might be dangerous. chris lawrence is here with an update on that and growing concerns about railroad accidents across the country. >> yeah, we just confirmed that the evacuation order has been lifted so that's a good thing. people are allowed now to go back into their homes and the fact that no one was hurt or killed in this crash is a terrific thing. but that alone is not going to make some people rest easy and they are wondering just how safe are america's rails. this oil train derailment near fargo, north dakota triggered a massive fireball that spewed thick black smoke over families' homes. >> scary. got two kids. you don't know if it will affect them and make them sick. >> reporter: officials evacuated nearly the entire town of castleton as

joining me now is dana milbank. dana, the cover of this story shows a woman driving a fancy car and wearing expensive clothes. why is this demonization of the poor back? >> i'm not sure it ever really left, reverend, and i think, however, the republicans have left themselves in a very vulnerable position here. so, have given themselves an extra long christmas break and then three days after christmas, 1.3 million americans will be turned off from their benefits and the most vulnerable will be made further so. so i think there's always been a strain within the republican party, whether it was the welfare queens or whether it was the 47%. the rhetoric is not necessarily the main issue here, but when it's accompanied by the sort of policy decision that the house republic ans made this week in departing town with giving themselves a vacation without looking out for the unemployed and what has been a historic amount of joblessness. i think that is why the welfare queen rhetoric gets another look. >> yeah, you know, the "

dana milbank, and perry bacon in a few moments. first we start with senator bill nelson live from capitol hill. hello, senator. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon to you. let's start with the basics. what are the democrats' priorities here if you get to a budget deal this week? >> well, i can tell you what my priorities are. and that is, to avoid the sequester, to get a deal, change the entire atmosphere in washington, where it's been just totally at logger heads. no negotiation. we're seeing the changes to that. this is very encouraging. and i think we will have a deal in the next couple of days. >> yeah. and it is encouraging compared to where we have seen the budget process break down, for sure, senator. >> amen. but let's turn, of course, also to something a lot of people care about, those jobless benefits, the president says they're crucial for many families. republican senator rob portman, however, outlined a different approach yesterday. take a listen. >> it's about $25 billion that no one was talking, george, until the la

dana perino. dana, thanks for taking a from making toys for santa. let's say you were going to run for office as a republican. what would you run on and how? >> let's be clear that i am not running on anything. >> you are running from things. >> do i think that 2014 is a good year for republicans partly because of calendar and partly because of the states that are in play. but then i also have been given this gift of the state of the country, the mad of the country, but obamacare and healthcare, that is really the linchpin going forward. >> yeah, but okay, you are going to have bob beckel does this to us all the time on the five. when you talk about obamacare, trrp but you have no ideas. so how do you respond? >> that is the democrat talking point. they are going to say that until the cows come home. so i think what republicans have to do is remember two things. these races are local and state races. you have to be there in the state. you have to show up. you have to work on that media and you have to say to them i know he says i have no ideas. i hav
