As the web continue to offer free curriculum to everyone cracking the monopoly of academia, good for you. 2017 was bad for countries get getting rich off our energy needs. Thats good for us fractures. 27 he was bad for despair. Poverty declined at health improved. 27 he was bad far been wanting which is good for everyone else. 2017, from Kathy Griffin to chelsea handler. There were awful events and unspeakable tragedies. These events never truly leave us. They appear every year and they will do so in 2018 sadly but looking ahead, lets not fudge whats been left behind. Its not as bad as they want you to believe, and it could be even better now or worse, who knows. Keep your chin up. All right, jesse. That was a look back. We know history will see this different than the media did. Whats your feeling . Mr. Purple guy. Jesse not purple. Magenta. I like the way you said fracker frackers. I think trump has a very clear vision of what he wants to accomplish any needs help from the legislature. He did all he could executive lee this past year and the two big wins at the end came through help from the legislature. Infrastructure is what he wants and naturally real estate tycoon and developer, hes going to obviously take huge interest in it. Not going to be like the obama stimulus plan where it was 1 trillion for Shovel Ready Projects that were never shovel ready. Trump has always been someone whos going to do things on time and under budget. The asset for him as you get to leave the white house and campaign for these things and swing districts. The pitch is going to be dumb politicians have wasted trillions in the sandbox in the middle east with nothing to show for it. Lets rebuild the country. It also woos bluecollar and middleclass voters. He cut their taxes. I was going to spend money. Force the democrats to say whether they would vote with chuck and nancy or for people. They have on the one hand middleclass people whose wages go down through open borders. I think a lot of union people want the wall built then you have a very loud hispanic activists were going to donate a lot of money and theyre probably going to tie themselves to bold overs bulldozers. The republicans want to end chain migration in the lottery system because of business or ideology, some of them arent crazy about the wall. Trump has the trump card. He has the leverage. He can delay the dreamer deal for six months and pull the rug out. I guess the wild card is either mueller or crazy weather or some Foreign Affairs crisis. I think 2018 is going to be pretty good. Richard i am checking to see if you have a fever from being out in times square for that long. Greg this president is shovelready buddies using the shovel to bash everybody cant stand. Its kind of refreshing. Richard i dont know if i feel the same way. I think it sounds good. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you have real problems. In the states trump won, ohio, indiana, michigan. Those three states, the unemployment numbers are up. Trump doesnt have anything to solve the fears of those individuals. Jobs arent going back there and he hasnt found a way to fix it. Jesse up from when . Richard 2017, unemployment numbers have gone up in those places. Less jobs. Michigan, less jobs. Indiana, ohio. Check it. Fewer jobs. Jesse i will. C7 check my grammar but there ae fewer jobs in these places trump said he was going to bring jobs and make America Great for those individuals. What hes going to have to do is is number one stumbling block is hes going to have three centers hes going to need to get infrastructure down. Mccain, flake, from tennessee. Corker. Hes going to need them and he doesnt have them. On top of the fact that the tax bill adds 1. 5 trillion to the deficit. Any infrastructure bill that passes is going to add more and hes going to have a problem getting these three republicans to go with him on top of the fact that he cant move democrats. Greg i love it when liberals Start Talking about debt. We learned it doesnt matter. Kimberly, richard brought up infrastructure. I believe we have sound on tape of sarah sanders. Do you want me to play it . Say please. Kimberly pleased, pretty please. Border security, welfare reform. Which is the primary focus . The president was elected because of his ambitious agenda and his is to hire desire to get a lot of things done. A lot of the meetings the president has this week will help determine what the best strategy is on each of those areas. Those are certainly welfare reform, infrastructure, responsible Immigration Reform in health care will all be top priorities. Greg of those are big priorities. Kimberly big priorities and ambitious objectives hes trying to accomplish. This is what he promised. Supposed to be a transformative candidate and president and make sure things got done, drain the swamp in d. C. I spent difficulty trying to build consensus in the past but i think fresh off this tax reform win and being able to work cooperatively with the legislature that he feels very i guess positive about it. No, i think you should. Everybody knows we need changes in these areas. Everybody has been trying for so long to do something about immigration, one of the biggest things he campaigned on and i think theres going to be strength going forward, Strong Economy and job numbers, gdp. Tax reform is going to help pushing those results forward. Immigration is going to be a tough one, i think health care is more doable now that what happened with tax reform. Greg dana, take it all home. Talking about how today going from the most progressive president to probably the most conservative president since reagan. I didnt have any idea what trump believed. Dana one of the reasons i think people were saying goodbye to 2017 wasnt necessarily that it was bad for all the reasons you pointed out but it was exhausting and different and ne new. President trump is disruptive and it took about a year for people to get used to it. Now you see tweets and you are like whatever. Sometimes they are newsworthy. Other times, not going to let this bother me. I think he was, every president is dealt a certain hand and it depends on how you play it. He was dealt a pretty good hand on the economy but he played it very well. The economy is in a really good place right now and thats why i think one of the things they are doing tomorrow is getting together because i have to figure out a spending bill, all these things before january 19. If they can get it done and he has a clean slate for the state of the union on january 30, you always want to say that the president has a very ambitious agenda. The second year is always more difficult than the first but they had a pretty good end of the year. Hes much more conservative. We are going to talk about iran next. Greg i am saying i am wrong, jesse, i would go, i dont believe anything because of the protectionism, i didnt believe he was going to become this conservative type of leader, and i think its kind of like how he started. Such skepticism. Dana i feel like he has surrounded himself with really good people who are persuasive in their arguments. He had the debate of the white house about the paris accords and there was a Certain Group of the white house that said you should stay in. It doesnt really matter and its better diplomatically. Scott pruitt, the epa administrator said heres five reasons we should get out and laid it out and he listened to him. I think thats true in several of these other issues that he has surrounded himself with good people who are persuasive and it turns out they end up being more of the type of conservative Establishment Republicans will be used to. People are calm her. I took over for jesse. Its richard the question, pulling out of the paris accords speech the facts that it changes what used to be the american waf doing things, our Foreign Policy norms. That creates a larger problem for us. A recent poll in germany came out that the germans trust the russians, found the russians credible than the United States. Greg why should we care . Richard we should care about what the germans think. Greg i care what the americans think. Kimberly this is worse than a Juan Williams poll. Richard we need the germans to back us on sanctions. We need the germans to back us on joint military operations. Dana they will. Richard on iran. We dont have credibility in europe which is supposed to be, when it comes to consensus in the number of the allies. Jesse no one is going anywhere without the United States paying for nato and now they are paying their fair share. U. N. Security council just slapped a few sanctions on north korea and i think theres a few European Countries there. Richard i think we are sending or goodwill faster than we have it. Greg isis, terrible people. We are going to talk about it in the next block. Kimberly, would you like to button up this segment . Kimberly deadly protests on the streets of iran and President Trump fires off a tweet about it next. You owned your car for four years. You named it brad. You loved brad. And then you totaled him. You two had been through everything together. Two boyfriends, three jobs. Youre like nothing can replace brad. Then Liberty Mutual calls. And you break into your happy dance. If you sign up for better car replacement™, well pay for a car thats a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. Dana the world is keeping an eye on the deadly protests across iran. Demonstrators have taken to the streets for six days. They are seeking freedom, unhappy about rising prices, worsening Living Conditions and corruption. President trump says the people of iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt iranian regime. All of the money that president obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their pockets. The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The u. S. Is watching Ayatollah Khamenei blamed the protests on enemies of iran. Ultimate end game would be that the citizens and the people of iran are actually given basic human rights and he would like to see them stop being a state sponsor of terror. Even Hillary Clinton outlined this when she said the Obama Administration was too restrained at the 2009 protests and said it wont happen again. For once, shes right and we agree with her because President Trump is not going to sit by silently like president obama did and he certainly supports the iranian people and wants to make it clear. Dana one of the things, when he talked about little food, not necessarily a food shortage but eggs are up 50 . These are real concerns. They started off small but theyve grown, the protests. At least 12 people have been killed and a couple hundred are in jail and at the very least, the magazine said they will face torture. Greg this administration is doing exactly the opposite of the Obama Administration. Obama rushing out not to defend the iranian protesters but saying we must not do anything. They are more interested in obamas falls legacy than the victims of the brave people out there. This also illustrates the discussing deception of sharia apologists like linda sartor, like wearing a huge job is some kind of feminist choice. The silence feminists in america should be stewing in their own shame for not saying anything about this, remaining silent, basically saying american impression and iranian impression is the same thing. Me too should be called them too. These are women dressing as black ghosts by force. If you are a feminist and youre talking about the injustice and patriarchy of america you are not out there defending these women, you are an idiot. Dana nikki haley, and faster to the u. N. Said the United States is calling for an emergency session of the united nations. I think the goal of that is to get those other nations on the record, what greg was saying, are you going to be for freedom or not. Kimberly call them out on the carpet. Policies in the past have not worked. Putting people on the record, making them state whether or not they support it, i think its working well. People have been critical of President Trump and his strategy here as it relates to iran and cutting off some funding but follow the money and terms of where those funds were going. They werent going to help the lives of the iranian people in the economy and specific cost of living expenses. So much but was being funneled to support terrorist groups like hamas and hezbollah. Outside of their country, afghanistan et cetera. That is going directly against the u. S. And the International National security interests. When you look at it, i think he knows what hes doing and nikki haley strongly supports it. Working with him in a very meaningful way and forcefully because she sees it and she is so handson that she knows what needs to be done. Listening to the people that know Foreign Policy and National Security and what needs to be implemented because no longer does the United States want to be the laughingstock pinata of the International Community tossing money at terrorist regimes. Dana my strategy is to let richard go and that you clean up. Richard i want to correct the president s tweet. Dana there is no edit button. Richard there should be. The money in the iran deal was lonely we held, it was frozen. We gave them back money that was theirs that we froze. It wasnt likely handed them a check and said heres money. Jesse we didnt have to do it. Richard it was their money and we give it back to them. The impression the president made was we gave them american dollars, like we gave our tax dollars. We gave them back their money with the interest they gained. Dana fine. You are running out of time. Richard its their money. Jesse when you seize assets from corrupt people. It richard i that money shouldve went to developing the country of iran and i think the president was right in standing with the people and he made the correction that i think to sy we foolishly gave them the money, i think the iranian government should use it to invest in its people. Dana the obama team would say one of the reasons they required was because the intel they had is that the crackdown against the gables going to be so much worse if the protests continued that they thought it was better they not say anything. Im saying thats what they would say. Jesse a humanitarian mission not to say anything. Dana benign neglect. Jesse when susan rice says we should remain quiet, she has no credibility. During the arab spring, what do they do . They encourage the overthrow of our ally in egypt. A letter it overthrow of muammar qaddafi. Then sat back and watch the state failed. President trump came out strong, protests and riots about her rigged election. President obama said he was troubled. He said he didnt want to go in hard because he didnt want to metal in another countrys affairs. Richard you just condemned obama for meddling in the egyptian affairs. I think youre neglecting the fact that any time jesse we dont want to go in there and overthrow. Dana nobody can hear either of you. Richard any time the federal government intervenes in the domestic situation, its complicated. Egypt, it was complicated. Tunisia. Dana last word. Jesse at the same time whenever you have a corrupt regime that dealing in Illicit Trade with the north koreans, its funding hamas and hezbollah and killing americans with technology they have in iraq, you want to make sure that regime is isolated. You want to cut off any credibility it has any want to isolate them from the International Community. Thats what President Trump has done and its more than what president obama did. Greg everything richard just talked about with obama. The paralysis of analysis. They sit there and analyze and analyze people die. Dana there will always be people who argue. Dana we have to go. Jesse isis took over a third of the country. Dana president president tp putting new pressure on the Justice Department. For only 49. 00. That includes security panel, keypad, key fob, entry and motion sensors and for a limited time, get a camera included and installed at no additional cost. It takes a lot of work to run this business. But i really love it. Im on the move all day long. And sometimes, i dont eat the way i should. So, i drink boost to get the nutrition im missing. Boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. All with a great taste. Boost gives me everything i need. To be up for doing what i love. Boost high protein. Be up for it. Save seven dollars. Look in sundays paper. Kimberly on friday the state department dumped another batch of emails related to the clinton investigation. Huma abedins account, some emails were classified found on her husbands laptop. Hillarys top aide reportedly forwarded state department passwords to her personal yahoo account. President trump suggests she should be locked up and called out his Justice Department and a tweet. Crooked Hillary Clintons top aid, huma abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put classified passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine . Jail deep state justice dept must finally act . Also on comey and others. Dana 140 characters was perfection for him. It had a rhythm. I miss it. Selfimposed 140 characters. When i got a topsecret clearance, you sign, you swear, you do all of these things. The reckless judgment exercised here is incredible to me. I agree. Remember the one guy who got in touch with you, the lawyer for the soldier, marine, thats rea real. I can understand the frustratio frustration. What Goes Around Comes Around and there are norms and you dont necessarily want people reaching back in your previous administration. The problem with me and the clintons has always been feeling they are above the law. Thats why they could get away with these things over and over again and it transfers down to staff. It comes from the top. I dont know what will happen here but there are laws for reason. Thats why there are people in government and have clearances, whether they are in military or intelligence. You have to enforce the laws equally. Kimberly you are absolutely right. Think about one of your favorite subjects. Greg Anthony Weiner. The interesting thing about donald trump is that he didnt pursue this, youd be like any other politician only interested in this for the election. The fact that he is still gnawing on this bone shows he is not like normal politician. I think it is small potatoes. Kimberly what a novel talking point. Greg i say interesting things now and again. This is small potatoes, a side dish on every trump plate. The media focuses on that and he eats the meat and the tweet is low effort for max award. He set these tweets out. I feel kind of bad about huma abedin. My heart says this woman has suffered relentless humiliation but my head says she could have bailed at any time. Dana she didnt have to stand classifying emails to her yahoo account. Kimberly very bad judgment. Trusting Anthony Weiner of all people. Disregard for known risk, total psycho, loose cannon, reckless. You see this pattern of conduct in that clinton inner core. These things mattered before he was president and they should still matter now. Greg what is weiner up to . Has anyone written to him . Does anyone have a letter . Kimberly i got a direct message. Kidding. Greg probably watching the five. They get it there. Jesse hillary and huma and podesta were all hacked and trump is being investigated. Just so we understand that. I understand going after the deep state. People like sally yates. She thought it was her role to not follow the law and she was hailed by the left. Theres a lot of little sally yatess still sprinkled across the administration, the fbi, do doj. Look at peter strzok, he was a big trump hater. When trump says deep state, doj is out to get me, it creates this perception among people that read twitter and follow the news that hes been unfairly attacked from within his own administration and it rallies the base to say weve got to support this guy. Hes taking it from the left and the right and within the white house. It creates a bond between the president and his supporters. Richard the 33 . The small base. Jesse if hillary ran again, she would still lose. Richard we should ban a word for jesse. It should be Hillary Clinton. Greg i banded but she keeps coming back. Richard trump keeps bringing her back. This is the first two days of 2018. Dana of all the things, this is what youre going going to argue about. Richard theres 100,000 people who work at the department of justice and to say they are the deep state is absurd and ridiculous. These individuals go to work every day and they work really hard to bring back people to justice and the fact that the president would condemn his own Justice Department. They all work for him. They see his picture in the lobby and they work for him. For him to bash his own Justice Department is absurd. The fact that you are cosigning it is making you preposterous. Jesse i will take that as a compliment. Richard you shouldnt. Kimberly the new years edition coming right up. What was Kathy Griffin doing with jesse in times square . Its quite a story. Next. And you dont have time for a cracked windshield. Thats why we show you exactly when well be there. Saving you time, so you can keep saving the world.

Jesse welcome back. Time for. The fastest 7 minutes on television, a new years eve in review. Three stories, 7 minutes. Lets go. I have the incredible honor of cohosting the allamerican new years special right here on fnc sunday night. Things went smoothly until Kathy Griffin showed up. Kathy, why are you here . I am a fixture in times square. Nothing is going to keep me from this hassle. Jesse i thought you were fired. Werent you fired . Just trying to get ahead. Ive got a lot of funny jokes. Do you want to hear some . Why did the chicken cross the road. Because Anderson Cooper kicked it off the new years eve show. Do you want another one . Knock knock. Jesse who is there . Anderson cooper who . Exactly. You are dead to me. Greg that is the first time Kathy Griffin has ever made me laugh. Cap is another casualty of the emotional person broken by last year. Kennedy did a fantastic job. You did a great job. It was amazing you did that in that weather. Jesse yes. I am the true hero. Dana how long did it take you to warm up . A couple hours. But i had a few drinks. Greg you werent drinking there. Jesse no, i would never do that. I liked your bed, one of your new years resolutions to be more patient with jesse watters. Dana i think thats when i can keep. I am very, very patient. I thought it was impressive that you are out there that long. Jesse thank you. Richard was out there longer than i was. Richard we got out there at 7 00. It was a good show. We talked about alcohol. We were handing out footballs. Greg did you use the bathroom . Richard no, i did not use the bathroom. I was wearing depends. Dana dont say that. Greg they are our sponsor. Jesse kimberly, you picked the best year. Kimberly i am the best one. Dana perino officially retired me. Very good. To be honest, i wouldve loved to be there with you but saying no was difficult. Not. You did a great job. Very funny. Kennedy did an awesome job dana i like how she handled the lady. Jesse cnn had a different kind of sideshow this year. This is for real. I thought i would get a gas mask with me. Whats on the other end . A bong. I dont think this is really what a gas mask is used for. Wow, okay. Legal. Dana call me a prude, i dont care. I dont like it at all. I dont like it. Its not good. Its not interesting. It looks scary. I dont think its necessary. I dont think its necessary. Do it in the privacy of your own home. I dont care. I dont want to see it on a bus. Greg this is the worst thing you can do to a substance. You are casting it as a novelty for stereotypical jackasses. For marijuana to be acceptable, it has to be mundane. The way we treat a beer or martini. We dont sit there and go i got a beer got to, when you have a martini, its after work. Its not before work pretty dont brag about how wasted you get. In the 50s and 60s on tv shows, they always had a character, the town lush, treated as a stigma, embarrassment. We have to do that. Marijuana should be legal. It should be mundane, used as something to relax after work but they treated like a stupid novelty. It is so embarrassing. That woman embarrassed yourself. Kimberly via have had problems like this at cnn in the past. That people drunk on air. My point is, i wasnt surprised when i read this. Last new years eve. Jesse i blacked out. Richard wasnt this bus on watters world . Jesse mariah carey last year. No malfunctions. A vision of love happy new year. I want to take a sip of tea if they will let me. We will have to rough it. Going to have to be like everybody else with no hot tea. Jesse she eventually found the tea, posting a picture of herself with a cup of earl gray. Dana earl gray is the worst. I am a tea snob. Its like perfume. English breakfast is superior. Kimberly lipton. Greg last year was her mulligan. A Second Opportunity to torture us with her squealing. I would rather buy the 20 greatest car alarms. Jesse is it me or does everyone else have the back to work blues . Guys, know anything about this missing inventory . Wasnt me the cheeks dont lie, chet. Irresistibly planters. Why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. Start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. Pour it through britas twostage filter. Dissolved solids remain . What if we filter it over and over . sighing oh dear. Thank goodness zerowaters fivestage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. So, maybe its time to upgrade. Get more out of your water. Get zerowater. Im to help you park safelyball danin your garage. Ring get more out of your water. Its part of my new years resolution no more mayhem. Making sure your car is pulled in far enough. But not too far. Richard welcome back to the five. The holidays are over and millions of americans are back to work. Its normal to have a place of the new years eve blues today but was it hard for you to wake up to your alarm . Dana i always wake up before my alarm. Greg vacation is more stressful to me than work. The pursuit of relaxation is stressful and it makes me miserable. The tension from work is preferable to the tension for happiness. Happiness can never be achieved in life, so for example, talking about my one more thing. I had an unusual holiday. The tension from work provides you with a sense of achievement whereas happiness is never attained. Its not worth it. Kimberly getting cheap about your therapist. We are happy to help. Richard for the record, fox does provide good health care. Kimberly doesnt want to do the copay. Dana i was nervous to go on vacation because i had gotten into routine i could manage with the new schedule. That was kind of nerveracking but i had a good break. I was ready to come back to wor work. Richard jesse and me. Jesse i worked over the break. I did new years. Richard so did i. Dana so did i. Dana so did i come in the morning. Was it hard for you did you have to get ronan up today . Kimberly no. He didnt have school today. I woke up before my alarm but i think i woke up to you know who. Dana who . Kimberly jasper. You sent me a picture. [laughter] dana we have a secret society. Jesse i have slept with jasper before. Richard for those of us we worked new years eve. I got to take a couple days off after tomorrow. Jesse no one wants to see you on tv anymore. Kimberly oh, my gosh. Dana you worked all day today. Richard we can talk about the cannabis truck on watters world. Jesse investigation. Kimberly he gets a mulligan from the factor greg victorias secret. Jesse can we go to break. Richard he is real nervous right now. Payback is a. One more thing is next. You might take something for your heart. Or joints. But do you take something for your brain. With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brainhealth supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. Greg this is a special holiday trick. You are in the parking garage, shopping for your family, you see somebody going into their car because they are done shopping. They are sitting down and you are waiting for the car. But instead of pulling out, what do they do . They start checking your phone. They are not even leaving. They are sitting there checking their phone. While you are waiting, waiting. Then somebody is waiting behind you and theres a backup because you have to check and see how many likes you have on your stupid facebook post. No one cares about you. I love these people. Kimberly you said you had a double. Greg i love the new York City Fire department, for freeing me from elevator friday night over the holidays. I had a flashback, the guy stuck in an elevator for four days, forced to use the elevator as a bathroom. I was not going to do that. I was alone. The firemen came in and freed m me. Kimberly was it like William Baldwin in back draft . Greg the department was smart and interesting, unlike billy baldwin. Jesse can we see that picture again . Is that Rachel Maddow . Dana i felt bad for you. Kimberly somebody is going to put that on a sidebyside. Jesse do you like snow . Cake . Snow cake. This is a father who for some reason took chainsaw and cut a sword. Youve seen this before, used it to cut a piece of snow cake from the table and he cut it perfectly. Look at that. Slice perfect slice. Greg ive got to ask you. Why . That is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. Just so you could say del friscos. Kimberly you want free drinks and yellowcake. Richard carly fee know has taken on a new mission. Unlocked potential, focus on building up and empowering local community leaders. She started with the easter seals organization. She is working with them and their local so they can help disabled families, veterans families and help get their community up and running. Shes using it to help communities. Pretty cool, bipartisan effort. Carley is empowering america. You get the Richard Fowler awar award. Kimberly that was an excellent one more thing. Greg set your dvrs. Never miss an episode of the five. Special report is up next. Have a good one. Iranian protests raged on in the countrys Supreme Leader fires back. President trump criticizes the past administrations iran policy. A new year brings a frenetic of past legislative agenda items while a retirement announcement could open the door to a familiar face. You think its cool now . Wait for the arctic blast. This is special report. Good evening. Welcome to washington. I am bret baier. Happy new year. The new year bring a new pressure from the Trump Administration on iran calling for the world to get behind the protests in that country that threatened to upset the regime
