Including everyone, including himself and his family apparently. Hes actually doing better than most politicians could ever hope for. Thats kind of interesting. Its an experiment we are living through at once. Kimberly and your expectations, he exceeded all expectations. Greg on fox news, i was in the top four critics of donald trump. I didnt know what to expect. Its irrelevant now. Greg a lot of them are gone now. My point is given what we know about back then and what we are seeing now, who cares about that . Kimberly dana, what is your take . Dana a different perspective, in washington, especially when you work for a sitting president. When George Stephanopoulos book came out during the clinton administration, he was basically cut off from them. It was a big deal. They basically said you are dead to us. Scott mcclellan wrote the book during the bush administration. I was press secretary at the time and i was super upset. Washington loves a story. Americans dig into it. One of the things president bush called me into the oval office and set i hear you are upset but i dont want you to worry about it. I said, can i throw you under the bus . He said i want you to believe me. No one is going to think about this in two weeks. One of the things thats positive for republicans and one thing that could be trouble ahead. The severing of ties between President Trump and steve bannon is probably good for continued cooperation for the type of accomplishments greg was a little into. If you dont have the constant pushing from bannon, you allow them to work together. You probably dont have to worry about steve bannon trying to primary those incumbent senators. The thing i think that was eyeopening about the excerpt greg is referring to is that in one of the quotes steve bannon talks about, the issue isnt anything that has to do with 2016, it was before 2016 and it is about Money Laundering. Talked about jared kushner. I was like, i would Pay Attention to that. In the president s statement, he doesnt address any of the claims. He calls him a staffer. Matt lauer asked president bush when his book came out, why didnt you write about Scott Mcclelland . President bush that i didnt think it was relevant. Thats the way you try to sort of push these things out of the spotlight. This will be a story for a couple days and move on. The Money Laundering piece was eyeopening. Kimberly its interesting because the president went out of his way to make these statements. Knowledge, information where he had problems with bannon et cetera and believes some of these things to be occurring in the past when he was there but i know they were still in communication once steve bannon left the white house. Jesse i am surprised he didnt say i didnt know steve bannon. The story is either fake news or real but either way, it helps the president. The media shot itself in the foot and if its real, bannon is weekend and theres going to be no more roy moores. I read the first paragraph. Three lies, trump didnt want to win, melania cried and Kellyanne Conway didnt think they were going to win. I know those are lies. You have bannon saying this meeting at trump tower was treasonous. On 60 minutes two months ago he said the collusion thing was a farce. This guy wolf has a terrible reputation and his own industry. People say he is a gun for hire. Last book, 12 people came forward and said all of the quotes attributed to me were completely manufactured. Kimberly he talked to a lot of people. Jesse hes got a representation reputation for inventing things out of thin air. If steve bannon said the president of the United States sun as a traitor and weak and could crack and his soninlaw sleazy, then not only is that incredible disloyal, it is stupid. Trump values loyalty almost above everything. Being a team player. This is something the mooch previewed off the record. If this is true, he has no credibility going into the primaries which i think is going to be good because no one is going to want to give him money. That could help the president. Geraldo i take it on a personal level. In terms of the legislative prospects, dana astutely laid out the impact. The fact that bannon is in exile. Et tu, brute . You talk about treason . Steve bannon, how dare he. What he did to donald trump jr. Is one thing. The best defense for donald trump jr. In the infamous meeting in the white house, not being nefarious, it was so naive there was no lawyer there. So overeager, overenthusiastic. To me, thats his best defense. Donald jr. Didnt intend to collude with russians in any way that was illegal anyway. He wanted to get whatever information he could get. Kimberly do you believe he said these things . Geraldo to me, the worst thing steve bannon did in this whole episode is to suggest strongly that donald trump jr. Is sitting in trump tower a couple blocks from here surrounded by these commies. And then after the meeting he says there was zero possibility he didnt take the russians up to see his father. Washington post, New York Times, every Investigative Reporter in the nation has been striving to connect donald trump with that meeting with the russians and has failed to do so. Now heres steve bannon suggesting you can take it to the bank. Zero probably probability didn. This guy was his best friend . Kimberly its disconcerting if somebody was supposed to be on the same team with the president , very loyal advising him, trying to transform american politics and the forgotten men and women across the country, you dont do it by making these kind of very strong statements and taking a swipe and trying to take out the president son and the family and the essentially the president himself. Jesse he is given the left and the media a weapon to her the president with. A lot of the same people have said steve bannon is this horrible person, hes racist, propaganda. Now they are taking him for what he said and using, and now hes a truth teller. They are using this against the president. It is sad, the whole thing is sad and he didnt need to happen. Geraldo one quick point. Greg suggested President Trump did this on a lark. Ive known him a long time. He started telling me he was going to be president in 1998, 1999, 2000. He wanted to be president more than he wanted to make money. Greg i believe he had doubts, the way everybody had doubts. Id buy into the idea that everybody was surprised. As for bannon, i believe he hated the family because the family provided insulation from bannon. Those were the only people in this way. I think bannon saw trump as a vessel for his own disruptive principles and agenda. He wanted to disrupt. Kimberly he didnt like the globalist tendencies. Greg bannon is a radical. He wants to disrupt. He doesnt have mild opinions. Every opinion is the extreme opinion. Ivanka would despise someone like roy moore. Who embraced roy moore . Bannon. Thats the difference. Geraldo she could run circles around him intellectually. Kimberly we will see where this goes. Check your twitter. Ahead, the tweet from President Trump, his fake news awards teas and much more when the five returns. Dana kim jong un threatens to nuke america and our president respond with a thread of his own and critics explode. You may have seen the tweets. He is not merely being cavalier with a threat about nuclear war. Hes being cavalier in a threat that makes him say demented and arranged. This is language that wouldve been rejected from the script of dr. Strangelove. We cant begin to normalize this. Its dangerous, childish, unpresident ial. Perhaps never have we seen a man whose profound sexual and masculine insecurities are threatening to annihilate the planet. None of it is stable behavior. Dana it continued at the White House Press briefing this afternoon. Reporter after the tweet about nuclear threats, the Nuclear Button. Should americans be concerned about the president s Mental Fitness that he appears to be speaking so lightly about Nuclear Buttons . To go they present and the people of the country should be concerned about the Mental Fitness of the leader of north korea. He has made repeated threats. He has tested missiles for years. This is a president whos not going to cower down and not going to be weak. He makes sure hes going to do what he promises to do and that is stand up and protect the American People. Dana i was there by myself myself. I dont know how to use the four remotes it takes to watch television. I was watching on twitter and holy entertained. Take a look at what happened. I have asked twitters spokesman, does it violate the terms of service, making this threat toward north korea . No media comments from the company. Still waiting to hear. I think they are trying to decide if this kind of tweet referring to a Nuclear Button to go he knows how to use, whether its a violation of the terms of service. Greg he is officially americas hall monitor. He is a walking Nuclear Button. He is around and shiny like a button. You push in many goes off. Oh, my god. He has violated terms of servic service. They say if trump were a foreign leader, wed be worried. For once, it is not the reverse. The rationality from other countries worked for them. We put up with that because we didnt know what would happen next. This is a good thing. The best part is its working. North korea and south korea are opening channels to talk. Because north korea is feeling the pressure. We are at war with north korea, embargoes, stopping ships. They are feeling it. They want to talk to south korea which means they want to talk to us. One more point. Kimberly grab your notes, beautiful one. Greg did you see kim jong un is getting a makeover . He is getting a makeover. Why do men get makeovers . Why do they clean up their act . They are seeking a new relationship. He realizes. People are too apocalyptic about this. Things are working out. This is great news. Dana many different audiences. He talks your allies, your enemies, the American People, the military. This tweet mightve been meant specifically for kim jong un to see. Have people who arent in his base getting worried about it. I dont know if they got a lot of reassuring today. Kimberly i like this. It has thrown kim jong un over the edge. Now hes getting a mommy makeover, a lift and a talk. He is feeling insecure about himself because President Trump is unnerving him. He doesnt like it. Psychologically hes not responding well to it. I dont have a problem with President Trumps tweet. I think its fantastic and im glad some buddies standing up to this guy. Hes been an international punk and bully forever and he wants to threaten everybody with his nukes and its about time somebody stood up to him and said enough is enough. He has been catered to, allowed to exist and proliferate with this Nuclear Power ability. Quite frankly, it makes the world less safe. If President Trump wants to be the person is going to stand up and doodling about it along with nikki haley and motivating the u. N. To do the right thing. Talk about buttons, working all day long. Geraldo there is no doubt trumps button is big. Kimberly because you you we on the apprentice. Geraldo hes not stupid, not reckless. He knows theres a rigid process to go through before you declare war. What i urge people and i continually go back to this particularly with my friends being hostile to the president. Its not what he says. Its what he does that really matters. He can talk and inflammatory game, the president can, in terms of his policies and in terms of his actions, hes a pretty prudent, traditional, effective president. Moderate republican president. I think he is doing a fine job. The fact that he shakes up this guy, rocket man and so forth. I was in korea when they first opened up the dialogue between the south and north and they had telephones where you had relatives in the north talking to their cousins and south kore south korea. It went nowhere and it got polluted. I dont think theres anything wrong with encouraging korea to cool things down. Dana jesse, take it away. Jesse i dont think little rocket man needs a makeover. Why mess with perfection . The high fade, the tan jacket. I think trump aims to entertain but he is also aiming to ridicule, just like he did during the election. He humiliated little rocket man. For the media to question trumps mental stability, they worshiped obama like a cult leader for eight years. They are the ones who are mentally unstable. They need to accept trumps style parties on this for almost two years. Stop trying to diagnose him. This is the reaction when you had president obama, you get the opposite. He was thoughtful and professorial and he lead from behind. He never confronted evil. Trump comes out there, street fighter, brawler, bellicose. He shoots from the hip and i think thats with the American People want to. Pointed obamas soft action do . Trump is trying to clean his mess up. I say whats more dangerous . Greg you know what trump should tweet next . I love big buttons. I cannot lie. Dana a monologue you wont hear anywhere else on the president s upcoming fake news awards ceremony. Up next. Liberty mutual saved us almost 800 when we switched our auto and Home Insurance. With liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. Hey. Oh, thats my robe. Is it .

You could save 782 when liberty stands with you. Liberty mutual insurance. Greg donald trump just announce hes giving out the most dishonest and corrupt media awards to his biggest offenders. This is a first. Are you surprised . Have you noticed the media is an object of criticism for the president. The media seems as robust as ever. Everyone is either a woodward or bernstein when they arent high. Similarly, homicides in chicago have fallen 60 in 2017, a welcome reduction from the bloodshed that made its mayor or a target of trumps ire. Why didnt this reduction occur under obama . The aggressive journalism and aggressive policing are actually due in part to the prove trump wrong effect. Fox news railed against media bias. The next few years we have covered chicagos problems. Did rahm emanuel listen at all . No. Now we are seeing the media adjust its behavior over accusations of fake news and a city mayor under a president who isnt his best friend puts more cops on the streets. My theory bureaucrats and media hate trump so much that they cant let him win the arguments of the up their game just to shut the guy up. Trumps tweets about chicago, iran, the media. It may be the best motivational tool weve got. Geraldo, dont you think the media is extra motivated . Every time they screw up, theyve got to listen to trump make fun of them. Geraldo i think i am old enough to have lived through and been in business during president nixon. He could not buy a break. President trump, i think he gets worse press than president nixo president nixon. I think absolutely everything he does is construed in the most evil, negative way possible. And these awards coming out next week, next monday, its a gimmick. Its kind of a shtick. On the other hand, i was in puerto rico with the president when the nobel Winning Economist for the New York Times wrote the story of how President Trumps neglect of puerto rico led to a cholera academic epidemic. There was no cholera epidemic. I nominate him the Nobel Laureate economist for whatever hes going to call these. Greg they let him say whatever he wants. Kimberly, do you have any nominations . Kimberly its going to be funny. Everybody on cnn. Don don lemon, jake tapper. They will be losing it, freaking out. We are actually fair, honest. What is President Trump saying . Im sure they are actually quite nervous about it and he liked that he is taking control of the situation. He is behind the wheel, saying im going to tell you what i think about you. Im going to say it straight to your face. Thats it. Im going to tell the whole world that i like the approach. Hes using it effectively, diplomatically. On the international stage, as it relates to national security. Immigration, taxes, its his approach. Geraldo you dont think it threatens the First Amendment . Kimberly i think the First Amendment is solid. Greg do you know what it is, dana . Like, what are your predictions for 2018 . This is a guy born and bred watching fox news. Dana i thought the five is going to have the best ratings. Monday at 5 00. It is good if it is done with a laugh, if it holds you up for ridicule in the media, i dont think its necessarily good. I think if the tone and tenor is right, it can be kind of a joke and maybe even fun. I do think there is something to be said about how other countries see it and how other countries use it against their own people. I think thats not good. Geraldo do you really . I heard that arguments my understand and i read the editorials that say that. I travel a lot and no one comes up to me and says see, you are fake news in america. Jesse what do they come up to you and say . I thought you were going to say self selfie. Jesse we are watching the trump show and its on at 5 00. Kimberly i think its on that purpose. Jesse like you said, the media being more fair and balanced. Either that, or hes just branding them phony losers. Greg like rahm emanuel. Now hes doing this. He didnt do it under obama. Thats so weird to me. Jesse i dont think the media has enough selfawareness to course correct. If i were the cnn people, i would make fun of his hair. Focus on north korea and laugh about it. Kimberly they are humorless. Jesse its like a press genocide and we are all victims in the First Amendment is under attack. Greg team clinton still losing it over the vanity fair knitting video.

Jesse that video wasnt received well by the left. Some accusing that magazine of sexism. For hillary to go away and take up hobby like knitting. Setting a double standard for another failed president ial candidate. Mitt romney, former Campaign Spokesman tweets mitt romney made a run for senate . I thought failed candidates were only allowed to take up knitting. Another, strange how losing male candidate mitt romney is being immediately discussed as a replacement for orrin hatchs seat and isnt being told to take up knitting. Dana why not laugh along with it . Making it an issue, giving it attention. Jesse prolonging it. I think the clinton team cant accept the fact. Dana does she want to run for senate . Jesse no. Why cant they understand maybe people dont like her because shes not likable, not because shes a woman. Greg take mitt. You know knit. Whats wrong with knitting . Its an insult. The point is the republicans are lucky to have mitt romney. The democrats are not lucky to have hillary. He is an asset. She is an. Albatross. I love it when the left eats itself. Vanity fair is very liberal. Who is attacking them . Other liberals. When i see that, it brings joy to my face. It jesse theres a lot of magazines on the right that go after republicans. That is considered healthy debate but you are not allowed to criticize. They apologized. What is that about . Geraldo i think sexism is being used the way racism was used for intellectually lazy people when you dont have a real issue. When you dont have a real issue. I dont think Hillary Clinton could win running for senate or mayor. She is a terrible candidate. God bless her. Shes a wonderful woman. She did a great job when she was in the senate i like her a lot but she ran a lousy campaign. Mitt romney on the righthand ran a pretty Good Campaign against a really very popular president who had a wonderful line. Bin laden dead. Gm alive. That was the line. Mitt romney could get 70 of the vote from utah. I think he would be great. Jesse i would rather see hillary as mayor of new york than bill de blasio. Kimberly he is the worst. In terms of Hillary Clinton, she has a shrinkage situation with her supporters. The last diehards are in there. Anybody says anything they believe to malign her in the slightest, they freak out and go on attack. I agree with dana. They should take it in stride and go okay, fine. Mitt romney is a winner. This is somebody i believe honestly conserve utah very well and this is somebody who didnt go around and cry like a baby after and write happened and do it big book blaming everybody for everything. She was not a very good candidate. He worked ten times harder than she did. Everybody knows it. Her staff knows it. President obama knows it. She disappointed a lot of people who worked very hard and gave a lot of money to support her. The democrats know they need to pick someone else. Mitt romney, i dont think theres any comparison between the two. Jesse hes probably going to win that senate seat. Dana if he runs . Yeah. Geraldo who would he run against . Kimberly doesnt matter. Greg no more men. Dana the left loved mitt romney when he was attacking President Trump during the campaign. They will turn around. Jesse another trump bashing rant. The view goes off the rails. Geraldo the Trump Presidency has taken a toll on most of the hosts at the view. My old pal joy behar for example kicked off the new year with an unhedged tirade comparing President Trump to irans supreme leader. The view went south from there. Its not apples and apples. Its not equal. We are on a slippery slope in this country towards throwing democracy out the window. Freedom of the press and civil rights. Not yet. Not yet. Geraldo thank goodness for Meghan Mccain. She is a sober, realistic voice. I love ana navarro. Joy behar is very, very funny, very engaging but when you start comparing what they are doing in a country that is repressive like iran. Jesse ana navarro is one of the smartest people . Every week we have a ana navarro sound bite. Geraldo she went down the hate trump road and what you go down that road you cant come back. Tapper and the cnn people. Once you go there and you see this guy is radical. Kimberly, i believe [laughter] i think it is like the Rosie Odonnell school of entertainment. They dont mean it. Kimberly personally i like joy behar a lot. She is sweet, a lot of fun. Great to have at a dinner table, thats for sure. This is the nature of their show. They get after it. Greg everything we are about to say, oh, they are a really nice person. Just say that was an idiotic comment. Kimberly thats your turn to speak. The point is, this is what they do. They have fun, they mix it up. Thats part of the show. They are not a hardcore news show. They give opinions and these are the opinions shes had from the beginning about President Trump. Geraldo do you believe joy behar believes because of trumps policies, the United States is sliding into an iranlike government . Kimberly theres a 50 chance she believes that. Jesse i dont believe that. I believe Meghan Mccain scored a point and instead of admitting she got it wrong, she tried to weasel out of it and say may be, may be. She got burned in a debate. You know what thats like, geraldo. Ive seen you on the factor. Thats what happened to her. Maybe, maybe. If a republican on fox news under obama had said president obama could soon, we could start seeing christians murdered in the streets, that would be a Huge National story. I dont know whether or not the media covers for the view or they dont think joy behar is the titan of journalism so they let it slide. Kimberly you dont think they take it seriously . Jesse i dont think they do. Geraldo do you think they truly believe it . Dana i think there are people who think, they are really worried and they wake up worried and they stay worried and they stay in an agitated state. But actually things are good. The economy is good. If there is concerns about, they are talking about people gay people, changing the regime in iran would go a long way toward helping gay people. Kimberly and women. Greg i agree with geraldo. This is more about cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias. You are asking as she really believe that customer she doesnt believe it but she cant allow herself to commit it admit it. She cant admit that the emotional input could be wrong. This happens to everybody. If you hated obama for eight years and you find a new look back and find out maybe there were a few things he did bad, do well, can you admit that because you held onto this . Its a confirmation. Ana navarro, she is smart but her confirmation buys in that cognitive dissonance has turned her into a one note wonder. And you dont have time for a cracked windshield.

We are talking about her experience with Harvey Weinstei weinstein. Among other things. Tune that in. Kimberly did you have a knitting addendum . Greg russell crowe. A lot of natures. Its okay to knit or needlepoin needlepoint. I knitted lou dobbs a bodysuit he wears in the winter. Dana i think it is jesse next. Jesse you are on jeopardy at one point. An unfortunate spelling gaffe in jeopardy. A song by coolio goes back in time to become a 1667 john milton classic. What is gangsters paradise lost. Charges have reevaluated one of your responses. You said gangsters instead of gangstas. You are now in second place. Jesse he ended up winning. Dana he didnt want to culturally appropriate. Kimberly it is so lame. Someone wrote in and complained. What haters. Boycotting jeopardy. Dana ringing the bell at the Newark Stock Exchange on behalf of warrior dog. He started the foundation in 2014. He started the foundation to care for retired military and Law Enforcement canines. He opened a branch in texas where these canines can live out their retirement. Kimberly i like that. Another uplifting story. This is my segment honoring heroes. What a wonderful story about new chapters in your life. This story in particular, we honor a 93yearold world war ii veteran elected mayor in new jersey and was sworn in last night. He campaigned. He didnt let his agent stop him from running and winning the job. He went doortodoor campaigning. Last night he was officially sworn in. Justly performed all the duties of office of the mayor according to the best of my ability. So help me god. Congratulations, mayor. Kimberly former Electronics Engineer for the u. S. Department of defense, veteran, and was a police chief. The bible he was using belonged to his late wife of 64 years. She died sadly in 2013. Jesse good name for a mayor, vito. Geraldo my mom was a war bride. My mom was jewish. My dad was puerto rican catholic. We are always conflicted between christmas and hanukkah. We solved that oy to the world. Kimberly so nice. Greg he has done it again. Kimberly special report up next. Bret this is a fox news alert. Welcome to washington. I am bret baier. President trumps former chief strategist steve bannon under fire tonight from President Trump, a blistering statement this afternoon saying when bannon was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. After excerpts from a new book or published in which bannon called a meeting between Trump Campaign officials and a russian where treasonous and unpatriotic. He warned a special counsel investigation looking into moneylaundering could take down members of the
