Healthy cultures dont create people like that. Somethingng wrong. Thats it for us tonight. Tune in every night at 8 00 to the show thats the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. The fives next from new york. We will see you tomorrow. Good night. Jesse hello, everybody. I am jesse watters. Along with kennedy, juan williams, greg gutfeld and dana perino. It is 9 00 in new york city and this is the five. This is a fox news weather alert. Hurricane irma, the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the atlantic, currently wreaking havoc in the caribbean, with the storm forecasted to hit the United States mainland in the coming days. We are monitoring the storm and will have a full update later in the hour. Now for our top story. Yesterday, we told you about President Trumps announcement that hes ending President Obamas controversial daca program which helped
flat out discrimination coming from this white house. Jesse this is racist, Repealing Obamacare was racist. The travel ban was racist. Even trumps speech in poland was racist. When they dont have a Policy Argument to make, its the racial attack. Isnt that right . Greg the most overused quiver that they have. He put a ring on it. Kennedy [laughs] greg he put us in the right place. It was in the wrong place. T do you know how delicious cookies are . Dana i remember them. Greg i dont have the cookie jar in the bathroom next to the toilet. I keep it in the kitchen. What he did was he took something that should be in congress in congress. He moved into the right place. Thats all he did. He made the public part of the decision, which is what should have been done. Both sides agree thats where it should be. He transferred the decision, not the dreamer. The dreamers are going to stay whereot they are. Its where the decision is going. Do you know what this reminds me of . It reminds me of when reagan announced the registering of the draft. I dont know what year itha was. In high school or something. Everybody got angry. Oh, my god, hes hitler. It was necessary and it did not change a thing. It was something he felt he had to do because it was the legal, right thing to do but it did not change a a i thing. If the media actually reports a story, theyd have nothing. Jesse so, the president is heartless and racist for following the constitution. Thats what the left is arguing. Dana remember that my theory racism is greater than russia. If they have a chance to say of republicann is racist, they will take it every time. This is something that republicans deal with a lot. I do think theres something to be said, if President Trump had just waited three weeks, he
could have said oh, okay, i guess cant defend it. Then ask congress to do it, He Wouldnt Have had to deal with all of this. This pleased his base for a day. By the end of the night, everybody on that tv that you just saw that was complaining, actually, the president agrees with you. He said he wants daca to get done. He wants to sign it into law and if its not, thats okay. Nobody has to worry about anything. I dont understand why the right isnt formatted. Jesse true. It seems like the left is angry when in fact, the president agrees with many people on the left. The dreamers should be protected and should find some sort of legal status permanently. Kennedy thats the point. The Executive Orders did not codify their immigration status. It really didnt. It wasnt a longterm, stable form of protection. And as greg pointed out at the beginning of the show last night, thats what made the
whole thing so cool. Dana, you are right about race in the republican party. Any chance an opponent gets, they will pin the racist tail on the elephant. Thats why they were so many republicans who came out and so strongly admonished thes president for his carelessbl comments after charlottesville. Particularly, a lot of the lawmakers in the south. Where its an ongoing issue from their childhood and their ancestry. Having said that, the president wants daca to pass. I think that shows that we have some complex issues ands immigration. A lot of people want the wall. The vast majority of people want to stay here. If they were brought here against their will, all they know is a Great American life. The majority of them. Jesse theoretical situation on immigration, juan. Juan okay. Jesse if you are a white guy and you live in texas and you
charlottesville and what we discussed with sheriff arpaio. O. And the idea that you have, i think 15 states, filing a lawsuit saying that because 70 of these young people are mexican, its evident of the president s ongoing displeasure with mexicans. Hes the one who has talked about murderers and thieves inside the judge who was a Of Mexican Heritage Cannot be a fair arbiter in his case. E. He has someat history that loads the deck. I dont know if it applies to every republican but i think some people are saying whats with trump and these mexicans . Why does he have a hard edge to it . It speaks to his base. You had Maggie Haberman of the New York Times saying he didnt really want to do it. But guess what . Stephen miller, who used to work for Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General and was an ally of steve bannon. Kennedy Top Republican bias. As juan he saw this as pleasing the trump base. You dont even have to do winks and nods. And its just you go get them. Its about the economy and jobs. Goodness gracious, most are staying leave this alone. Most of these kids contribute to local economy. They are good kids. F jesse now democrats are siding with big business . I like that, juan. Is there any risk for the democrats making so much fuss about the plight of Illegal Immigrants and not really fighting for american jobs . S greg i think it cost them elections. They dont get that l because te media is on their side. They have this false belief. They are living in a bubble. They are living in a different s movie. Because he wanted someone with that background. Greg exactly. Jesse i want to talk to dana about the base. Rush limbaugh has something to say about that. What trump did today via sessions, is almost along the same lines as pulling out of the paris accord decision. It rocked them. They didnt think it would ever happen. Trump is this coldhearted. Trump knows his base. H he knows the impact all of this has had on the American Economy and american jobs and he is following through on oneer of hs most predominants campaign commitments. Jesse how would you assess that . Dana all true but at 8 38 p. M. , President Trump tweeted that he is good with keeping daca. In the morning, Jeff Sessions said hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost because of this and we have to deal with that. Not 12 hours later, i guess that is moot . I guess he wants to have a legislative solution. I am for a legislative solution as well. I do think theres a possibility. Congress has been very close on comprehensive or whatever you want to call it Immigration Reform for many years. Over ten years probably. Three or four times. The thing thats different now is that there is now a deadline. Six months. Okay. A deadline can focus the mind and its possible you might figure out a way to do it. What i would have done if i were schumer and pelosi today, with the debt release bill, i would have said while were at it, sir, we would propose a straight Up Or Down Vote on daca on friday. You say you want it . Weve got the votes. How about a deal . Kennedy they should have justhe done it. Dana get it off the table. Kennedy heres what Jeff Sessions said and what i take issue with. Im always dubious that he says that hundreds of thousands of jobs have been taken by these dreamers. Ou thats my problem. E
liberals suffer from this mostl mostly. Its a new strain within the republican party. The idea that economics is a zerosum game. We know it is not. You canan actually create more wealth. You can create more jobs and opportunities in this country for everybody. You just have to let the economy go and get the government out of the way. Juan first to greg, its illegal for a lawyer to make a Jury Selection based on race. They can have exemptions where they dont have to explain it. Greg right. Exactly. Juan its illegal to say that because of someones race and heritage thats just not true, greg. The second thing to say here is Sarah Huckabee sanders said oh, you know what . President trump wants comprehensive Immigration Reform plus daca. Basically, hes sending it back to congress and saying well, i
guess the odds are against me technically but im going to claim this is a legitimate place to do it. He creates anxiety, fear in this community of young people who have jobs a high percent, almost 80 working. Contributing to local economies. He puts them on edge. And you know what, why you play politics with this . Is this comprehensiveyo Immigration Reform or do you really want daca . Not clear. Kennedy why Wont Democrats admit that it was a horrible idea on the part of President Obama . If they would stand up and say this was a bad idea in the first place, to set up the situation. Jesse dianne feinstein, we played it last night. Just in case anyone wants a refresher. Coming up, we will tell you about a story the Mainstream Media apparently doesnt want you to hear.

Political reports on the bribery trial. Thetor bob menendez, new jersey democrat, is accused of doing political favors for a florida eye doctor in exchange for campaign donations. And very lavish gifts. Both menendez and the doctors denied the allegations. Menendez is the first sitting senator to stand trial for bribery in 40 years. Dana 22 seconds of coverage from the broadcast network today. Thats not all. A 1300 word piece in the New York Times initially failed to mention that mr. Menendez is a democrat, the piece was eventually updated to note the political affiliation. D jesse, i have a feeling if it was a republican, that would have been in the headlines. Jesse absolutely. The only thing more corrupt than politicians are the reporters that cover up for them. When i heard there was a new jersey politician on trial dana thats why its not news . Jesse i assumed it was a democrat. Automatically. Exchanging donations for favors . Isnt that called politics . The whole senate would be in jail. Ray nagin. 20 corruption charges. 20 counts. Convicted. The networks did not mention that he was a democrat. Congresswoman corrine brown. Fraud conviction. Never mentioned she was a democrat either. Jesse jackson jr. Also corruption. Went to prison. No mention in Time Magazine or usa today. He was a democrat. This is how this works. You have the hotel room guests. Greg wasnt a baseball team. Jesse the media only described him as a democrat 20 of the time. Mark sanford, the governor of south carolina, a little bit of a Dalliance Down in south america. The mistress, 100 of the time his Party Affiliation was mentioned. Th you have william jefferson, do you remember . The freezer guy . 90,000 in thehe freezer . When he went to trial, they didnt even cover it on the networks. If im ever convicted in on trial, im changing my Party Affiliation if im ever on trial. [laughter] greg you know what else they never mention . Statues. The statues everyones ticked about, except here. Onp dana juan, when you are
writing a story, does the Party Affiliation enter your brain . Is that anto important part of e description for the Lead Paragraph . Juan n no. Its important. Dana you know ap style, when you do parentheses . Juan you have to identify who the person is. Especially an elected official. I think that would fit in. I dont understand why it wasnt in there. Dana they did correct it. Juan i do think that something that feeds the republican anxiety and insecurity, oh, my god, theybl always want to focus on republicans when theres trouble but not the democrats, oh, that damn media. Re the fact is that in this case, i cant believe that Nobody Dids Notice that bob menendez and ray nagin are democrats. I cant believe that anybody didnt know they were democrats. Kennedy does every
journalist assume the readers know the facts . We should just assume that President Trump is president. Its so horrible. Jesse we are not saying what team hes playing for playing for. E juan in this case, the other thing to consider, dana, thehe indictment was so long ag. It was a long time ago and people were focused on that time. Now if the trial starts, it has so little coverage because in the midst of all of us trump news, north korea, hurricane, lets see when the trial starts. Dana thats fair. In fact, there was a problem today in the courtroom where the judge told menendez lawyer to shut up for a second. Theres an interesting thing. If he is convicted, will the democrats say he should resign as they said stevens should resign . The congressman from alaska . What if he gets to a point a successor before the end of his term . Greg i dont know about that. I just want cnn to do this so i can see Anna Navarros response. Dana to menendez . Greg yes, i want to see how outraged she gets because of this. There is a reason that this is not getting a lot of attention. There ares no visuals. All we see is b roll of a guy, a middleaged man walking up and down stairs in a court house. I u mean, its hard to make that exciting. But youve got to have an intern in a blue dress to make a scandal good. And a beret would be nice. You cant compare this to the release of dancing with the stars. We just found out today kennedy rod blagojevich. Ou the governor of illinois tried to sell that senate seat when barack obama was elected to the presidency. I think he ended up doing less time on dancing with the stars. Greg i forgot he was on. And then there was tucker carlson. Dana not as good as geraldo Chris Christie kennedy he could sell that seat on a game show. Or a reality show. Imagine that. If bob menendez is in fact convicted. Greg this year has produced a lot of good options for dancing with the stars. [laughter] some from this network. Jesse another role. Dana a liberal Pressure Group has tens of millions of dollars of offshore investments. Why . Greg tells uson next. My sweethearts gone sayonara. Hows a guy supposed to move on . the long lasting scent of gain. Now available in matching scents across your entire laundry routine. Wherwhere we always welcome you, thats texas. Exas. Where we always find a way, thats texas. Greg so, this is funny. Haveve you ever heard of the Southern Poverty Law Center . A hard left outfit that loves to label people as extremists. Their evergrowing list seems tt defame everyone. Ben carson, hes an extremist. Rand paul. An antimuslim extremist and get this, hes a moderate muslim battling religious extremism. It makes no sense. Ali, a Black Feminist who protests against genital mutilation. Splc placed her in a list of antimuslim extremist. I wonder what they would make of gandhi. Thats not the funny part. Its the money. This Poverty Center has loads oi it. 20 million endowment and chucks almost 20 of it into offshore equities. Cayman island stuff. I dont understand it. This Poverty Group stands on a pile of offshore dough. A priest with a harem. The center paid out 20 million in salaries in 2015. They provided just 61 grants in legal assistance. It appears to have no poverty and do virtually no law. The most misleading name since the democratic party. Yes, count it. Worse, their love for callingye people haters insights haters into action. The maniac who shot Stephente Scalise liked The Law Center on his facebook page. And the terrorists who attacked a Research Council b
