  1. Juan,
    First of all, I liked you. You were on Bill O’Reilly’s show a lot and I appreciated your views on many issues. Not so much anymore though. Are you getting old and stupid or just acting stupid on “The Five”? I have wanted to write you for months but could not find your email address on line. Can’t take it any more…. Juan, do your research and get information right please!!!!
    You asked on Thursday, 4/16/2020, “why are we going after WHO?” Let me tell you WHY WE SHOULD GO AFTER WHO— WHO kisses China’s a** all the time, WHO is nothing but a puppet for China. Do you know WHO rejected Taiwan to be a member because “China” refused to recognize Taiwan as a legitimate country? Even though Taiwan is not a member of WHO, Taiwan does (and still is doing) a great job in handling COVID 19. Taiwan tried to provide information to WHO but WHO refused to accept any information from Taiwan. What kind of “world” organization is that? Because WHO refused to work with Taiwan, WHO lost out on important and significant information from Taiwan as early as December or late November. Many lives could have been saved! Yes, our country can do just fine without WHO. Taiwan is not a WHO member yet Taiwan has a great health system (check it out, Juan). We don’t need WHO! WHO is a waste of my taxpayer’s money.
    I am about the same age of you, Juan. As we get older, we should get wiser. Please think, study before you voice your opinions. Thank you and good luck.

  2. In response to your comment about Mike Bloomberg offering that “red-lining caused the mortgage meltdown.” You miss the point.

    Here is the chain: (1) years of genuine discriminatory red-lining; led to (2) the enactment of the Community Reinvestment Act (during the Clinton administration) which (3) caused banks being forced to make mortgages in communities whose residents were marginal credits; which (4) led to Wall Street creatively expanding the secondary mortgage market by securitizing sub-prime mortgages into bonds and selling them; which (5) were not adequately regulated by Federal and State banking regulators——-which led to (6) continuing sub-prime lending in an already overheated lending market (everyone wanted to comply with a lousy regulation where you could still make money by securitizing mortgages into sub-par bonds); and with (7) corrupt and complicit bond rating agencies (who made hundreds of millions of $) inflating the quality rating which was taken by buyers as “gospel”…………………….ultimately led to (8) bond defaults which (9) rippled through the banking system causing a banking panic and leading to a recession and the TARP bailout program.

    Do us all a favor Mr. Williams…………do your homework first before you opine on complex issues about which you are very poorly informed. Thank you

  3. Juan just wanted to say I value you on the 5
    4 against one but you are always collective.

  4. Hey Juan, Sorry you are “heartbroken” about the president’s recent language. But welcome to my world. I felt the same way when Bill Clinton became involved with an intern in the Oval Office. Imagine that. Wonder if old George Washington would approve? I was not heartbroken, but I was quite disappointed when Obama told Vlad he “would have more flexibility after the election.” He also called me a “Bible and Gun clinger.” Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t those our 1st two amendments. You cannot imagine how upsetting it was when the racist president Obama and his also racist AG decided not to prosecute members of the Black Panthers who were videotaped intimidating voters at the polls because they were his “people.” I was also quite distraught when Hillary called me and my bride an “irredeemable, deplorable” supporter of the president. Oh, yes, your current Dem hopeful, 20% Joe Biden, is on video bragging about threatening the President of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor that was going after his son and you say it did not happen. You say they were cleared of charges. Wrong answer, cupcake. They were never investigated and that is what Trump, our chief law enforcement officer, was requesting, which is one of his listed responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief. I could go on. It should be sufficient to know that Trump has done nothing compared to your Dem heroes, and please tell me what evidence does anyone have of high crimes and misdemeanors? That’s what I thought. You got nothing. Do us all a favor and clam up with your Dem Hypocrisy. You are not even intellectually honest with yourself, let alone your audience. Roy G. Barker Grateful USA Vet.

    Last night you stated quite strongly that article 2 of the constitution sets presidential term limits to two. If true how did FDR get elected four times? He did because you got your facts wrong. After FDR was elected the country passed the 22 amendment to set term limits. I learned that is the 8th grade civics class. I am now 72 and still remember that.

    Please correct tonight so that the people you fooled are unfooled.

    1. The 22nd Amendment had not been passed when FDR was president.

    I’m a Republican and I gotta be honest I love the way you hold your ground and you are an asset to the five, much respect but I’m not leaving the GOP
    Best regards

  7. Juan, what are you doing working for Fox? You are far better than that.

    Today on “The Five” you showed just how real Trump Derangement Syndrome really is. Your anger and hatred were and are inarguable. I am a christian man, but God forgive me – I would have really enjoyed watching Greg throw your evil @#$ off of the set. I supported you when NPR canned you, because I believe in free speech. But, now that you’ve gone off the deep end into total left-wing lies and hate-filled B.S. rhetoric, I say “blackest darkness awaits those who practice the ways of untruth.” Oh yeah, the bible says that as well. Being the christian that I’ve heard you claim to be, I thought you’d know that. I guess not.

    Juan,

    My wife and I together paid into Social Security for a total 71 years. We resent you implying that what we receive is a government handout. We worked for every dime we receive.

    We are proud of our service to education here in Alabama and don’t appreciate our service being minimized. Many of our friends have to take on a second job to make ends meet.. Don’t use us in your take on your social society. We worked and now we are receiving the benefits of our work, and not a handout.

    Juan, we know that you have a tough job battling the opposition, but don’t link us into that category

  10. Juan, How dare you use my hard earned Social Security contributions while you pander for socialism. Also VA benefits are for those who have served this Great Nation, none of these are socialist programs. These are contributions and patriotic service not Socialist Handouts. On that subject, how did Congress ever determine that taking our money ( yes Juan, you are included in this provided you paid in to SS ) to pay for Socialist like programs is beyond me. Its about time you do some serious thinking in regards to your beliefs about all this Socialist Tyranny that is the talking points of the Socialist Democratic Party That has emerged with all the identity politics. PS, at one time the Democratic Party was the Party of the Working folks, not anymore.

  11. SAME OLD, SAME OLD
    Life goes on day after day!
    People are beautiful. We are the only creatures made after God’s image. God has given us authority to rule over our planet, and after all these years people have created hospitals, businesses to benefit other people and animals, and keep our home, the earth a safe place for millions of people to live in peace and safety most of the time. We have created schools where children can learn in safety, children have all kinds of options to learn music, sports, etc.
    God created humans after His image, because we create beautiful things to benefit this world. We are the only creatures that can create all the beautiful paintings, artistic buildings, auto’s and things that benefit every creature on this earth. We create food for animals, medicines that keep our animal friends well and alive. We have created communication systems where by we can communicate to someone around the world in seconds. No other creature has ever created all the technology and wonderful things mankind has created that has made our world a better place to live in.
    God created people after His image so we could love one another and care for one another. God is loving the Bible says. God’s character is loving. love cares and treats others with dignity and honor. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God is love, His character is always like the descriptions of love that are written in the Bible. If you look at Jesus Christ when He lived on earth, Jesus was perfect. Jesus lived every moment of His life in 1 Corinthians 13.
    I find it strange that if God and Jesus Christ are loving, their character is loving and caring, why can not we, people made after the image of God, love each other all the time? Why is there conflict in relationships, wars all around the world, drama everywhere we look? The problem we have always had is sin. Sin is a character flaw all people have. Romans 3: There is no difference between Jew and all people, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. If you do not believe all have fallen short of God glory, why can’t people live in peace with each other? If God is loving, and wants all people to live with each other peaceably, why don’t we as humans live peaceably with each other? Throughout the history of this world we have had wars, divorces, strife even is the best of families, jealousy, envy, bitter feelings, unforgiveness, people addicted to alcohol and drugs, which destroy relationships, sexual deviance, adults trying to convince innocent children they are not boys or girls as God created them to be. We live in communities that are somewhat peaceful, but why can’t we live in peace and love towards one another as God has intended for people that are made after His image?
    Galatians 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
    22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
    According to the Bible people who live by God’s Spirit will live according to the verses in 22-26. They will be kind to everyone, gentle to everyone, faithful to everyone, patient to everyone, have self-control over their desires so alcohol and drugs will not control them. They will live peaceably with everyone. People that have God’s Spirit will not envy other peoples positions at work, they will be content with what God has given them. People who live according to God’s Spirit will not be jealous if other people have something they do not have. The definition of envy is: a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions. The definition of jealousy is: resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another’s success or advantage itself.
    In the book of Matthew, Jesus says if you even lust after the other sex, you have committed adultery, and if you hate someone in your heart, you have committed murder. If people are made after the image of a loving and peaceful God, why do we all struggle with these feelings and thoughts we have that make us resentful, bitter, lustful, unforgiving, lovers of things that God never intended for us? Why don’t we live in peace with everyone? Is the problem always someone else that stirs these desires in us? Are we perfect people made after God’s image that always respond in love towards others? If we were, why does the Bible say that all have fallen short of God’s glory? Even born-again believers that have God’s Spirit living in them fall short of God’s glory. I have been a born-again Christian for 35 years and can still not love people as Jesus loves them. I can be impatient, and unforgiving and when I am the Spirit of Jesus will let me know.
    Why does all this matter? Jesus said in Matthew 15:16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
    Jesus says in Matthew 12: 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Notice Jesus says here, God sees your heart and mind and will judge your life by the words you have spoken and thought. Everything you think in your heart and mind is how you live. Every person who has ever lived has a mind which thinks and reasons. We as humans learn these thoughts by our environment around us. We watch T.V., we read magazines, we listen to our parents as we grow up, we have friends who influence us. We are like sponges that take into our minds all kinds of beliefs and attitudes that influence our character. But do we read the words of Jesus? Do we read the Bible, God’s word to all people? Do we really know what God’s character is like? If we did, why do we not live and think like Jesus does? We do not really believe that Jesus will judge us one day if we refuse to listen to His words for us. Hebrews 9: 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Jesus is the Savior of the world, but He is also the Judge of the world. Because God is loving and merciful. He has given all people a Way to escape the judgement of our souls. We have all fallen short of God’s glory for our lives, there is no person ever born that has lived a perfect loving life, except Jesus Christ. God has given everyone a chance to repent. God in the Word of God has revealed to everyone the Path for Salvation. Romans 3: 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Or by trying to be good. Romans 3: 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. The definition of atonement is, the reconciliation of God and humankind through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
    John 3: 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
    All of us are born in the flesh, that is our natural character we have from birth. We learn and take into our minds everything around us, except the words of Jesus. John 3: 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.
    John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. We hate God’s light because it exposes our sin, but when we choose to let God’s light exposes our sin, and we confess what we are, and choose to repent with the help of the Spirit of Jesus, we will find Salvation and forgiveness. Only Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive sin, because He is the Son of God. John 1: 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
    We were all made after God’s image. We have all sinned and fall short of God’s purpose for us. Jesus Christ will judge every individual based on what is in their hearts. God offers all people a chance to repent and believe on Jesus’ atoning death and resurrection from the dead. God offers everyone His Spirit to live and guide their lives. God gives everyone a choice to choose their destiny. How will you respond? God offers no one a reprieve, there is no such thing as complacency in this matter. God created everything just the way He wanted it, and God will end everything just the way He wants to.
    2 Timothy 3 New International Version (NIV)- a vision of how people are without Jesus!
    3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

  12. Straight to the point, Juan you are BRAIN DEAD and have no clue about what you’re talking about.

  13. ernie l koehler

    Hello Juan, it might be good for you to get a job at one of the fake news channels. You just do not fit in with the 5. Better yet stay they might rub off on you. Maybe you will come to your senses.

  14. Dorothy Tisdel

    Juan Williams is very pro democrat and he says the most stupid things I have ever heard. He even supports the abortion bill! Pure evil!

  15. lawrencej1@aol.com
    Juan, watching Laura Ingraham, you are sharing your views of passing legislation on the security/ border wall/ additional equipment for security etc, you stated President declined to approve the bill, most is correct except you left out a very important fact. President Trump asked Pelosi if they would negotiate security bill within 30day, Pelosi said no….. that is why President Trump did not sign, or approve the bill to open the government… one thing is constant with you, you tell half the story… i usually change the channel when you come on because of your views or half truth statements… I am working full time to stay solvent at 72 thank to Obama and people with attitudes like yours…

    I am from El Paso Tx born and raised. I have 2 degrees and put myself through college while working 2 jobs. Before the wall that exists today, I struggled to get to work due to the illegal immigrants running across our highways. Almost in tears as I reached my destination trying not to his anyone with my car. There were people hit and killed back then. The sad part is the person driving the car was sued by the illegal families. On one part of the highway, they would throw sofas on the road or lie down on the road making the driver stop. It was then you were robbed, beaten, or raped. Our police department put out notices on the news that a crisis was occurring and people were being assaulted by illegal immigrants. Today, I can go see my mother without worrying about human beings running in front of my car. The only thing I still worry about are stray bullets that come to El Paso. The wall does not stop the bullets but it helps us to be safe on this side of the border. You have not lived here and have not had to endure a thousand people dropped off in your city without food, water, shelter etc. This just happened in December. We cannot accommodate the number of people coming across the border in these numbers. Our shelters are overflowing and we do not have facilities to take care of them. As for MS-13, they stand in the farmers fields making the workers leave while they stand around the children’s shelters. Our police will not arrest them because we are considered a sanctuary city. The farmers and the workers that work for them are afraid. Perhaps you or some of your colleagues should endure the homelife on the border. It is at its worst. I have lived here over 60 years and cannot believe that Congress has let it get this bad. Shame on everyone!! It is a crisis when Americans die from illegals and the children of illegals are dying. Their parents should have social services remove these kids from them. They purposely put their children in harms way to gain access to our country. If you stop rewarding bad behavior as parents, it will stop. Perhaps they will realize they need to do it the right way if they are not rewarded for putting their child in harms way.

  17. I saw today’s show where someone compared the caravan of immigrants to Jesus Christ and I would like to ask Juan one question. What is your problem with immigrants entering this country LEGALLY verses illegally??

  18. Juan Williams, it is very frustrating to watch you on the five. Greg g interrupts you every time you speak. Why can’t you give an answer without the interruption? Please keep up the good work.

  19. He just lied on the five said obama didn’t separate parents from children

  20. Juan, I heard you mention gerrymandering yesterday…incorrectly. First, there are TWO SENATORS to each state, no matter what the population. New York has two, California has two, Vermont has two, Maine has two.

    Gerrymandering has nothing to do with Senators. And it is actually pronounced as if saying the man’s name Gary as in garymandering although named after the man whose name was Gerry but pronounced Gary.

  21. Search your soul Sir and that of your past! If someone said it is black you would say it’s white. If someone said it was daytime you would say it was nighttime. You are so far left it’s a wonder you don’t tip over. Your facial expressions when another person is speaking are not only comical but offensive and a perfect example of what and who you are. Please excuse yourself from appearing on any future shows. You need to be a thing of the past. I love watching “The Five” but with you on that program it is a chore.

  22. A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism

    The following are a few basic historical facts that every American should know.

    Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery. The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, passed in 1865 with 100% Republican support but only 23% Democrat support in congress.

    Why is this indisputable fact so rarely mentioned? PBS documentaries about slavery and the Civil War barely mention it, for example. One can certainly argue that the parties have changed in 150 years (more about that below), but that does not change the historical fact that it was the Democrats who supported slavery and the Republicans who opposed it. And that indisputable fact should not be airbrushed out for fear that it will tarnish the modern Democratic Party.

    Had the positions of the parties been the opposite, and the Democrats had fought the Republicans to end slavery, the historical party roles would no doubt be repeated incessantly in these documentaries. Funny how that works.

    Fact: During the Civil War era, the “Radical Republicans” were given that name because they wanted to not only end slavery but also to endow the freed slaves with full citizenship, equality, and rights.

    Yes, that was indeed a radical idea at the time!

    Fact: Lincoln’s Vice President, Andrew Johnson, was a strongly pro-Union (but also pro-slavery) Democrat who had been chosen by Lincoln as a compromise running mate to attract Democrats. After Lincoln was assassinated, Johnson thwarted Republican efforts in Congress to recognize the civil rights of the freed slaves, and Southern Democrats continued to thwart any such efforts for close to a century.

    Fact: The 14th Amendment, giving full citizenship to freed slaves, passed in 1868 with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. The 15th Amendment, giving freed slaves the right to vote, passed in 1870 with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress.

    Regardless of what has happened since then, shouldn’t we be grateful to the Republicans for these Amendments to the Constitution? And shouldn’t we remember which party stood for freedom and which party fiercely opposed it?

    Fact: The Ku Klux Klan was originally and primarily an arm of the Southern Democratic Party. Its mission was to terrorize freed slaves and “ni**er-loving” (their words) Republicans who sympathized with them.

    Why is this fact conveniently omitted in so many popular histories and depictions of the KKK, including PBS documentaries? Had the KKK been founded by Republicans, that fact would no doubt be repeated constantly on those shows.

    Fact: In the 1950s, President Eisenhower, a Republican, integrated the US military and promoted civil rights for minorities. Eisenhower pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1957. One of Eisenhower’s primary political opponents on civil rights prior to 1957 was none other than Lyndon Johnson, then the Democratic Senate Majority Leader. LBJ had voted the straight segregationist line until he changed his position and supported the 1957 Act.

    Fact: The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it.

    Fact: Contrary to popular misconception, the parties never “switched” on racism. The Democrats just switched from overt racism to a subversive strategy of getting blacks as dependent as possible on government to secure their votes. At the same time, they began a cynical smear campaign to label anyone who opposes their devious strategy as greedy racists.

    Following the epic civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the South began a major demographic shift from Democratic to Republican dominance. Many believe that this shift was motivated by racism. While it is certainly true that many Southern racists abandoned the Democratic Party over its new support for racial equality and integration, the notion that they would flock to the Republican Party — which was a century ahead of the Democrats on those issues — makes no sense whatsoever.

    Yet virtually every liberal, when pressed on the matter, will inevitably claim that the parties “switched,” and most racist Democrats became Republicans! In their minds, this historical ju jitsu maneuver apparently transfers all the past sins of the Democrats (slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, etc.) onto the Republicans and all the past virtues of the Republicans (e.g., ending slavery) onto the Democrats! That’s quite a feat!

    It is true that Barry Goldwater’s opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 probably attracted some racist Democrats to the Republican Party. However, Goldwater was not a racist — at least not an overt racist like so many Southern Democrats of the time, such as George Wallace and Bull Connor. He publicly professed racial equality, and his opposition to the 1964 Act was based on principled grounds of states rights. In any case, his libertarian views were out of step with the mainstream, and he lost the 1964 Presidential election to LBJ in a landslide.

    But Goldwater’s opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act provided liberals an opening to tar the Republican Party as racist, and they have tenaciously repeated that label so often over the years that it is now the conventional wisdom among liberals. But it is really nothing more than an unsubstantiated myth — a convenient political lie. If the Republican Party was any more racist than the Democratic Party even in 1964, why did a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act? The idea that Goldwater’s vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act trumps a century of history of the Republican Party is ridiculous, to say the least.

    Every political party has its racists, but the notion that Republicans are more racist than Democrats or any other party is based on nothing more than a constant drumbeat of unsubstantiated innuendo and assertions by Leftists, constantly echoed by the liberal media. It is a classic example of a Big Lie that becomes “true” simply by virtue of being repeated so many times.

    A more likely explanation for the long-term shift from Democratic to Republican dominance in the South was the perception, fair or not, that the Democratic Party had rejected traditional Christian religious values and embraced radical secularism. That includes its hardline support for abortion, its rejection of prayer in public schools, its promotion of the gay agenda, and many other issues.

    In the 1960s the Democratic Party changed its strategy for dealing with African Americans. Thanks to earlier Republican initiatives on civil rights, blatant racial oppression was no longer a viable political option. Whereas before that time Southern Democrats had overtly and proudly segregated and terrorized blacks, the national Democratic Party decided instead to be more subtle and get them as dependent on government as possible. As LBJ so elegantly put it (in a famous moment of candor that was recorded for posterity), “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” At the same time, the Democrats started a persistent campaign of lies and innuendo, falsely equating any opposition to their welfare state with racism.

    From a purely cynical political perspective, the Democratic strategy of black dependence has been extremely effective. LBJ knew exactly what he was doing. African Americans routinely vote well over 90 percent Democratic for fear that Republicans will cut their government benefits and welfare programs. And what is the result? Before LBJ’s Great Society welfare programs, the black illegitimacy rate was as low as 23 percent, but now it has more than tripled to 72 percent.

    Most major American city governments have been run by liberal Democrats for decades, and most of those cities have large black sections that are essentially dysfunctional anarchies. Cities like Detroit are overrun by gangs and drug dealers, with burned out homes on every block in some areas. The land values are so low due to crime, blight, and lack of economic opportunity that condemned homes are not even worth rebuilding. Who wants to build a home in an urban war zone? Yet they keep electing liberal Democrats — and blaming “racist” Republicans for their problems!

    Washington DC is another city that has been dominated by liberal Democrats for decades. It spends more per capita on students than almost any other city in the world, yet it has some of the worst academic achievement anywhere and is a drug-infested hellhole. Barack Obama would not dream of sending his own precious daughters to the DC public schools, of course — but he assures us that those schools are good enough for everyone else. In fact, Obama was instrumental in killing a popular and effective school voucher program in DC, effectively killing hopes for many poor black families trapped in those dysfunctional public schools. His allegiance to the teachers unions apparently trumps his concern for poor black families.

    A strong argument could also be made that Democratic support for perpetual affirmative action is racist. It is, after all, the antithesis of Martin Luther King’s dream of a color-blind society. Not only is it “reverse racism,” but it is based on the premise that African Americans are incapable of competing in the free market on a level playing field. In other words, it is based on the notion of white supremacy, albeit “benevolent” white supremacy rather than the openly hostile white supremacy of the pre-1960s Democratic Party.

    The next time someone claims that Republicans are racist and Democrats are not, don’t fall for it.

  23. Does the potential harm to the targets of the bomber fall under the category of ” collateral damage to individuals that do not share our views” as defined by Nancy Pelosi.

    Juan, I am an RN. I have noted a varying degree of color in your face which concerns me enough to ask you to get a doctor’s appointment the have your heart checked out.

  25. juan i do not know where you get your info on illegal migrants, but you should take the time to do your own research instead of being a liberal mouth piece. in the first place they are not immigrants they are law breaking migrants, you are so stupid about the diseaes and crime they bring, not to mention how filthy they are with garbage they leave in other peoples property, my guess is you do not live where they are and have no idea how much normal americans have go through to get their loved one here legally. you should stop being so hard headed and rude to others who have done their homework about subjects to be talked on on the five. you are the reason like so many other liberal jerks who only do lip service for the dnc. get the facts befor you flap you lips or shut up

  26. I am beginning to get really annoyed at the number of times Juan states that Trump is losing suburban women. -Not sure who is being polled, or what polls he is looking at, but this suburban woman would never vote Democrat, in it’s current state, with it’s current candidates. I’ve heard Juan’s fellow dem. analysts stereotype “educated women”. Let’s start a new category called “Wise Women” – those who vote for the candidates who believe in the sanctity of life; who respect police officers and the military; those who understand economics; and those who believe in work ethic; not to mention, those who support legal immigration. In this current political state, the traditional categories are out-dated. Enough already.

  27. Juan claims to be a christian, maybe you should listen to yourself sometimes, can democrats be christians?

  28. Thank you for having the courage to sit among (mostly white) people whose views are opposite of yours and from a life history perspective will never be able io fully understand a black mans view. I just saw you on Maria Bartiromo for the first time (I rarely watch Fox) and was dismayed by the lack of civil discourse….the divisive language of us versus them is not helpful to America. Why did Maria bring up the blue dress?from 20 years ago? as relevant to anything? Both Clinton and Trump were/are acting without principle; that should matter to everyone but no longer seems to. As for low wage (black) peoples wages rising (one of the guests seemed to be proud of that)..so what? Rising from minimum wage to barely livable after decades of the wealthy hoarding money is still deplorable Anyway..you have Guts to sit among the wolves and as a middle age white male that has my respect.. Thanks again!

  29. It used to be that you occasionally lapsed into sanity, but since you started contaminating The Five, it seems you have lost all semblance. Did your Fox employers demand that you ramp up your idiocy to stimulate ratings? If so, and you complied, then you have even less principle than I had imagined. On the plus side, your conservative sons Raffi and Tony may prove the maxim that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.

  30. Juan, your positions are beyond biased. I know you won’t read this, living in the protective bubble that you do. On the very off chance that you do… You always bring up President Trump stating there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville, guess what, there were.

    Here is what you are missing Mr. Williams, protesting the removal of civil war monuments doesn’t make you a white supremacist. Had i Been in Charlottesville, I would have been protesting their removal. I am not a racist, I don’t care what color your skin is, it has zero importance. So are you saying I’m a bad person because I would have been on the side the “white supremacists”? I believe it’s a mistake to tear down these monuments, at least without due process and voting by the public. Erasing history doesn’t change it, what it does do is keep people from seeing the mistakes made and trying to never make those mistakes again.

    Every one of your arguments are based on your ideology, that is the major difference between democrats and republicans. Your side will tow the party line no matter how wrong you are. Kavanaugh is another great example. There was zero proof brought forward that he did anything wrong, yet you are convinced he is not fit to be a supreme court justice. His temperament? I would love to see you react if you were accused, with no evidence, of one of the most serious allegations known to man. You would lose everything, think you would be all civil and watch your life be destroyed? Somehow I highly doubt it. Apparently commonsense isn’t necessary on the Left.

  31. Hello Jaun,
    The last time I checked you can not vote from a restaurant, subway or a gas station. You can not tell people to go vote and stand behind haters that bully people in public places at the same time. Take some time off and try to regain some sanity. At one time I enjoyed your input, now I have my finger on the mute button.

  32. Brainless Juan at it again. How many complaints and negative comments is needed to can this guy. Must of been dropped on his head when he was a baby.
    I’m tired of his eye rolling and his racists comments. He knows NOTHING.

  33. Rosemary Bennett

    Juan Williams, the only racist I ever see on FOX is you! I don’t hear all the other cast members of The Five, and other shows making racist comments constantly like you do. I have stopped watching The Five because of you and won’t watch it ever again until you are gone. Trump is so far from being a racist and it is obvious to all rational, America loving, Christian people. Why are you so hooked on everything being about race? Were you raised in a slave family in the South…you sure sound like it. You are despicable and I can’t think of a single thing you have ever commented on that I agree with. The only thing I would use your book for is to start a fire in my fireplace but that means I would have to buy it, and it will be a cold day in **** before I do that.

  34. Juan,

    How skewed your thinking is! I did not enjoy your commentary on NPR and I do not like your twisted thinking on Fox. I would not be sad if you went away.

    I do not think Dr. Ford was credible. I thought her testimony and tears were false. Her little girl voice was faked and she is unattractive ( I realize she has little control over that).

  35. Juan,
    You are so wrong to suggest that President Trump isn’t wanting to support the black employment rate! Shame on you…maybe you should have stayed on N P R.

  36. Shelley Bayless

    Oh no, Obama is NOT against the Media! Obama is the one who repealed the Smith-Mundt Act in 2012 making Media (Leftist, Liberal, Democratic Socialist, Communist, Marxist) PROPAGANDA legal! Obama has colluded with the Mainstream FAKE News Media to spread lies and propaganda, so of course, he’s not against the Media! He is using them to achieve his WICKED agenda!

  37. David L. Harper

    Juan, just watched you say on Fox News that Obama wasn’t against the media. You must have a short memory. Fox would not be in existence now if he had his way. Typical response for a liberal, not quite the truth.

  38. FOX, what are you waiting for to can this brainless fool called Juan Williams. That’s all I have to say. You can’t reason with an idiot.

  39. Keith Bartlett

    Mr. Williams,

    I want to comment on Security Clearance revocations.

    We all agree Trump is doing things differently and not following the normal course of DC formalities. I would like you to consider my stance on Security Clearance. If you no longer are an elected official or a paid under contract employee of DC in any organization, you should no longer have Security Clearance on a continual basis. You should have to apply and explain why you need access reconsidered and it should be for a short period of time.

    Two examples the public and us peasants can relate to in this case.

    1. The private sector if you resign or you are fired from a company. You are no longer of any use to that company and in fact you are a threat. You therefore lose all access to the building and the servers. Your email. Your phone etc…. This is the case for the majority of people. Almost everyone loses access at some point. Why should DC be any different?

    2. I have no idea where you live or work. However I have managed multi million dollar high rise buildings for a living. 56 floors. 10,000 tenants. Law firms down to just retail spaces. The number one item for building security is not bomb protection, fire protection or customer service.

    The number one issue is access control and key control to the building. Like DC we can trace everything but the second we lose control of a key or a badge, the building is then compromised. Or a tenant space is compromised. We have no idea what actions a fired employee will take or one that quit. We immediately deactivate the badge. If they had a key and the tenant lost control of that key, the tenant has the entire space rekeyed. Why? Key control. Clearance must be controlled.

    If security or Janitorial lose a set of Master keys. This happens all the time. Thats why I never carried a master key. The company or person has just compromised the entire building and every company. So who ever lost the keys, that company will end up paying for the rekey of an entire building. 30k in cost going upwards. Takes weeks to do. You lose control, you lose integrity to the security of the property.

    Now this ties to Security Clearances. Again access control has to be strictly enforced and monitored. That in my opinion has not happened in DC for a very very very long time and we are now seeing the results. Those against Trump using access to undermine a Presidency. I am sure some people selling secrets. Trump needs to change this lose method of I was an important person and therefore my former title grants me privledges no one else would have if they left a company. We are not peasants. We are DC has beens.

    I believe all 90 who signed the petition against Brennans removal of Secured information shows exactly just how egotistical DC people have become.

    It is time to hirer someone to take conntrol and audit the system and bring it into compliance of a secure nation. That includes removing clearance form Clintons. The Bushes. Carter. Obama and all of his staff. Anyone and every one who no longer works or is elected in DC. All with very few exceptions. You need acess, apply for it the proper way. You can’t just keep it after you leave. Look at Bohner. Look at Ryan. Look at Flake. Look at Corker. Look at McCain. All will retaing clearance and attack an administration in hopes of overthrowing a government. An extreme but they all hate Trump. Some hate America.

    I bet you find thousands of dead people with Security Clearances. I bet you find thousands of immigrants and foreign nationals tied in that no longer have reason for access.

    We need key control. We need system integrity. We need to know who has what and what they are doing with it.

    Would you work or live in a building that did not practice key or access control??

  40. Dear Juan,
    Aren’t you happy that Fox gave you a home after the vicious Left cast you aside.
    Liberals are tolerant of only views which align with their own. They don’t want to hear alternative points of view and immediately revert to name calling.

    If you are in favor of strong borders, even if you support robust legal immigration policies, you are a bigot.

    If you are fiscally conservative, and support and affordable safety net, you are a bigot.

    If you support strong law and order policies, you are a bigot.

    Now, the Left is openly embracing Socialism– clearly without understanding what that entails. As a somewhat reasonable voiceof the Left, it falls to you to address the Insanity.

  41. Oscar Dean Windham

    Mr. Juan Williams, would you please comment on this email recently sent to Bret Baer and to the Fox News “comments” email address?
    Thursday, August 2, 2018

    About the commentary on and during the Bret Baer segment on Fox News today; it is not enough to admit that the public news media or the “fake news media” has a very real credibility problem with we the people here in the United States but it is obviously the first step one must take in order to correct an error which in this case is an error in judgment by the powers that be who have again obviously, directed their media personnel (talking heads/teleprompter readers) to not comment on or make any reference to any topic that is news worthy without first being cleared by the corporate elite bosses who own the several news media sources (“GE”, “Disney”, Viacom”, “Time Warner”, “News Corporation”). As far as Fox News goes, we’re talking about News Corporation and Mr. Rupert Murdoch and it seems here lately to be Mr. James Murdoch as well, who stated very succinctly that – “profit comes first”, in closing a speech which was documented in the documentary titled, “Shadows of Liberty” which every American citizen would be greatly enriched by if they were to view this video and before there is further discussion it should be stated that “Fox News” is the frontrunner when it comes to covering the news in an honest, unbiased way, as far as is humanly possible at this stage of our evolution as a species and that without this news source we would be in great jeopardy as a nation, as a society but even Fox News has a long way to go toward being completely straightforward and honest with we the people. There are several news worthy topics that are never covered either locally or on the national news level and we all can name one or several due to the sundry sources we have due to the internet but the biggest news story that has been and is being suppressed is the coverage (in agreement or disagreement) about our federal deficit being irrelevant which has an international impact because if it is proven to be irrelevant, then internationally accepted that our federal deficit is irrelevant, then every federal deficit in every nation is irrelevant. This of course means that there is no economic peril pending for we the people collectively as a nation of peoples which of course means that ultimately we’re talking about no federal taxation of any kind which ultimately translates to mean that there will come a time in the not too distant future when there will be no monies going into our United States Treasury Department; only monies going out. If this statement chokes you intellectually and evokes in you a response of heaping derision, rebuke and scorn upon me for having the audacity to make such a statement, then thank your “fake news media” sources for your ignorance when it comes to not accepting the fact that our federal deficit is indeed irrelevant. Then there is the equally intellectually deficient response which is often stated by the otherwise marginally intelligent news commentator/teleprompter reader, Mr. Tucker Carlson, who always hides his ignorance of the fact that our federal deficit is irrelevant behind the – “you’re a communist or a socialist” – contentious remark, without ever fully exposing the subject of our federal deficit being irrelevant as the source for his contentious remark. By the way, everyone should first define communism as well as socialism and then name any country on this planet that is actually communist and or socialist in practice, instead of merely being labeled as such and not to make too fine a point of the matter but for the same reason that neither communism or socialism exists today or at any time in the past, is the same reason that communism nor socialism will never exist in the future.

    I have pretty much said all that has been stated thus far in order to emphasize the following which will hopefully compel someone or a group of someone’s in the “fake news” media to go against their “mafiaist” bosses and speak out about our federal deficit being irrelevant. The emphasis is directed toward the out of control forest fires in California which has claimed the lives of over a dozen people, if the missing are also dead. Let’s not forget the loss of life when it comes to the wildlife in these regions. That picture of the heroic firefighter holding that deer fawn was truly moving but one must ask secretly: how many deer fawns were burned alive, not to mention the several other wildlife species? Then too, there is the property loss, not to mention the severe shock our people are experiencing from this catastrophe. The point being made is that since the federal deficit is irrelevant and we can and do electronically generate the federal monies to meet federal expenditures as well as electronically generate federal monies in order to support our military industrial complex to the tune of trillions of dollars a year when there are insufficient funds available from our federal tax program, to make bombs and bullets (legitimate expenditure), then we can, we absolutely should electronically generate the federal monies necessary in order to have a civilian “Air Force” specifically equipped to fight wildfires/forest fires, anywhere in the United States, year round. If we the people had the determination to go along with our unlimited financial resources, we could have hundreds if not thousands of planes and helicopters on standby 24/7/365, to extinguish any wildfire mother nature throws at us, not to mention the several related services which such a civilian Air Force could serve. As is often stated: “stop the madness”. We have the monies, so let’s use we the people’s electronically generated monies to provide for what we the people need and do it now, before there is more needless loss of life, of any kind.

    Basically, everything in this email has been presented to all the public news media sources as well as practically all the burgeoning independent news sources on the internet in it’s several different forms, for many years now and I have the emails to prove it. Despite the overwhelming, in our face evidence that has proven that our federal deficit is irrelevant and that we can electronically generate the federal monies we need, to do whatever needs to be done, there is still the resistance on the part of not only the “fake news” media and all the independent “fake news” media as well as our federal elected employees who have also been made aware of the fact that our federal deficit is irrelevant (as if they needed me to tell them this; unfortunately some of them are so ignorant that they do) but not one single person has been allowed (Juan Williams, Geraldo) or has wanted to report on or comment on this subject. To me this ultimately means that the blood of all those people who have lost their lives in this natural disaster of the wildfires in California as well as the previous needless lose of life in all the preventable natural disasters if the electronically generated monies would have been made available for the last eight to ten years, is on the hands of all who have been made aware of the solution to this problem but have thus far refused to take the necessary, available steps to remedy the situations.

    Finally, President Donald John Trump promised during his campaign bid, not to ever lie to us… but here he is lying to us through his teeth by not telling us the truth about the federal deficit being irrelevant and what that means to we the people. President Trump has no problem “informing” us that there will be a new branch of the Armed Forces called the Space Force which will require hundreds of billions of electronically generated federal dollars if not trillions of electronically generated federal dollars which are we the people’s dollars but he won’t tell us, so far, that we can have a civilian “Air Force” to fight wildfires. When I said that the blood of all those who have died in all these natural disasters are on the hands of the “fake news” media that could have been at least mitigated in order to save those lives if the federal funds would have been made available by our federal employees (who seem to see themselves as our masters instead of our employees) but have refused to act which means that you President Donald John Trump are a murderer as well, along with the “fake news” accomplices and your fellow politicians.

    For all who read this email: if you think that I am not going to present this email to everyone on this planet that can possibly be reached on the internet, think again.

    Thanks for your time.

    Sincerely, Oscar Dean Windham.

    P.O.O.F.O.O.S.I.E.

  42. Me. Williams,
    As a small business owner and someone who has much more experience with the immigration process it is refreshing to hear your well throughout questions and answers. It’s unfortunate people use the term illegal too loosely. One could have a work visas lapse due to understaffed government employees, mistaken identities, etc. why employees pay every 18 months to keep work visas. They also pay Social Security, Medicare, state and federal taxes. Social Security and other entitlements they may never received until they are a citizen. Some of my employees have waited for over 20 years. I have employees that were in the military. They don’t realize it’s a different era. During the industrial revolution, you arrived at Ellis Island, you did a quick examination and you were issued a number. You later or contact or contacted your local authority to sign up to take a citizenship test. Unfortunately it’s nothing like that anymore. Unless you are one of the immigrants of 38 countries that don’t even require a visa to enter America. The only country south of the border that is allowed in America is Chile. The majority of the embassies in Latin America are corrupt. If you have a Knouff money it will be very easy to obtain citizenship or labeled a professional. The statements from Melania Trump‘s lawyer on fox shows what I am talking about. Also the face of the Democratic Party is not Cortez or Pelosi. Face of the Democratic Party is Joe Manchin and Ted Lieu, California congressman who is a retired colonel in the Air Force. This is the new face of the Democratic Party. I would love to see an episode when these discussions are talked about. I know you were out numbered for the 1. I am a Maryland resident and born in the district of Columbia. I’ve lived here my whole life. The true democrat as a moderate it is not the crazy left like Maxine Waters show often. The true conservative Republican is gone. We see the Koch brothers realize that. The Republican party is more divided than ever. It’s not the Democratic Party. Thank you for your insight and knowledge of the political and democratic system of the United States government. Unfortunately some of colleagues and viewers are not that knowledgeable. I voted for Governor Hogan. I vote across the board on several issues. I believe you should vote for the right person not the right party. I was also surprised to see our most voluble President have five people from his cabinet speak for him about what happen in Helsinki. I heard him say he believes Putin had no reason to lie, he believed Putin more so than the United States military Intel. The more bad things you find out about President Trump for hire his rankings are amongst his supporters. It’s a sad time for conservative Republicans. See you at five. Thanks again.

  43. susan grouell

    Juan, you just touted the glories of universal health care, saying that it exists elsewhere and is working just fine. I have lived in Latin American off and on all my adult life.. let me tell you how horrid universal health care really is..

    For example, we built a home in Belize, in a remote jungle area. My husband sliced his leg open with a machete and had to be driven into the village where the Cuban doctors were working. My husband had stitched himself and just wanted the doctors to check him over.
    The entire visit was overshadowed by the ‘doctors’ asking him to show them how he stitched himself, and them begging for the suture kit he used so they could re-use the needle..

    If that is not a good enough example, let me tell you about my business partner in Costa Rica, his Mom has had a bad heart, but had to wait 6 months for the necessary surgery. She did not live

    One more in a long list of examples of why ‘universal healthcare’ does not work.. You tout Canada for their health service..a girlfiend of mine with a teenage son. He broke his arm skateboarding and she drove him to the hospital in wealthy Vancouver. the ‘doctors’ put a temporary cast on, said they would have to wait for 2 weeks before they could be fit into the crowded schedule. So for the next two weeks, she had to help, her very embarrassed son, use the bathroom..

    I’ll give you another.. we were on the Western Highway in Western Belize, we stopped to offer a ride to an old couple standing in the dusk on the road. As they got in the car I learned that she had dumped a caldron of boiling water on herself, she was horribly burned. they had gone to the ‘universal health care clinic’ in San Ignacio and been told that they could do nothing for her, they told her she had to figure a way out of the jungle and into Belize City to see a doctor. She was dying, there was no ambulance, no pain meds, no care.

    I can give you more examples of Nicaragua, Guatemala and Mexico.. universal health care does not work.. you can come to my state and witness the river of Canadians who cross the border for medical care that they can not get in Canada….

  44. Juan i was disturbed by your comment that you say you are a Christian. I am a born again Christian. I know what the Bible says. Your stated positions are far removed from the Bible. The Bible says if a man does mot work let him not eat. And thou shalt not steal. But you support taking money from working people and giving it to lazy people. The Bible says God looks on the heart not the outward appearance. Yet you are choking with racism. You support killing babies. Your values are not Biblical but ungodly. I have not seen The Lamb’s Book of Life but i doubt your name is in it

  45. Mark Ruggiero

    Hi Juan

    Enjoy watching you on Fox News although I rarely agree with you which is OK.

    I recommend you go back & watch the videotape of your response to Ed Henry’s comment this AM on his comment about Harry Reid opening up the door to the ending of the filibuster on SC justices. Your response along the lines “all Reid did was change the rules for lower court justices”. Well that IS opening up the door. He was warned not to do this but did so for political expediency. This is the same guy who lied about Mitt Romney in the 2012 campaign and when called out on it said “it worked, didn’t it”. He is and was a disgusting political animal. He changed the Senate forever, or for at least as far as I can see. The Senate is supposed to be above that & he changed it with that one act.

    Your response to Henry was dishonest as IMO he called it accurately. Unfortunately, and probably the Dems in the future, will probably change the filibuster rules on normal legislation & the element of compromise will be totally lost.

    Your man Obama told McCain, I believe, that elections have consequences. This is something the political left refuses to accept even though Obama said it. Trump is president & it is his duty to nominate SC judges. When Garland was nominated, the Reps used the Biden “rule”, something the Dems brought to bear when Bush was running for reelection even though there were no vacancies. So it was a preemptive strike. So the Reps invoked the Dems “rule” & they are the bad guys. Now the Dems are claiming the Biden “rule” on a midterms. Claiming no nomination due to the Russia investigation. I guess the elections have consequences only when Dems are in power.

    Now I read some Dems want to increase the # of SC justices to 11 when they take power to overcome the consequences of an election without any logic other than their social warriors.

    John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.” This is what I see the political left doing as it tries to propel our country to socialism.

    I told me sons 5 yrs ago I see the US headed to a civil war because of this. I fear it my be more like 20.

  46. Frank J Canino

    Dear Mr. Williams,
    While I generally find your commentary informative and predictable, which is fine, today’s remark about voters who cast ballots for Trump as, “selling their souls” to be insensitive. Millions of Americans voted for the ticket and have been the unheard voices for the past 8 years. I just wish that there was respect for all views and voters. The Dems have been as divisive and mean as anyone if not more. The constant negative commentary and their political talking points is exhausting. Suddenly, they want to hold off on a Supreme Court hearing. How convenient but how unfair. The process has existed for a long time. Now, they suggest violence to those who disagree. This is plain wrong. While I don’t like many of Trump’s tweets, I do think that the issues of immigration, taxes, and national security are better addressed via his views than what the Dems offer. The Dems constant push to the left and socialism is frightening. Its become a party of the Hollywood elites and a party that panders to victimization. Your late colleague, Charles Krauthammer, would never countenance calling voters for Trump as being less than any other voter. I wish you well.

  47. I wish you would just leave The Five. “The Four” sounds great! Even at 5pm!

  48. If you had half a brain, you would be dangerous. I had enough of you. Like so many other’s have said, I feel the same way. Until you’re gone, I will no longer watch The Five.

  49. Terrance Traylor

    I find Juan to be largely disingenuous. He often applies valid emotions and judgements to narrowminded and false narratives.

  50. Mr. Juan Williams: Evidently you slept through your class. I learned in Junior Hi that humans are in the animal family. There are good, bad, and evil animals (two legged and four legged). GET OVER IT!!!!.

    Lani

  51. You don’t look like you take drugs you only sound that way
    If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck you are probably a duck
    M13 they walk like animalS and act like a animalS they are ANIMALS

  52. Juan,
    I am a life long democrat and starting with carter I always voted my party until 16 When hillary gave me no choice but to go with trump..glad I did for he is the better choice.. Anyway I enjoy you on the five and elsewhere and respect your views.. I watch fox because they bring on people like you on a lot of their shows to keep it interesting..We do not have to always agree to get along I hope. You seem to have a nice family and friends and I bet it would be fun to have you join in our group for a round of golf.. Keep up the good work!

  53. Stephen Wagner

    Juan, as a “FIVE” cast member, and a FOX news contributor, you did for some time give reasonable responses for the left. They were again reasonable! That ended some time ago and you continue to get more irrational, unreasonable and untruthful. It appears that no matter what the evidence or circumstance is that you comment on, your responses are derogatory and often untrue or corrupt the real topic at hand. I feel you have become a mouth piece (other terms would apply but would be misconstrued) for the worst of the left and its course to disrupt the president. Recent comments that align yourself with the responses given by Adam Schiff and Pelosi shows your total disconnect. That you can sit and give many of your off base, nonfactual responses and comments that align yourself with the CRIMINAL actions by Mayors or other administrators to allow the sanctuary policies to continue is in itself criminal. Your similar alignment with and justifications of the lies of Hillary Clinton and your RED FACED comments on this criminal loser shows you are not in touch and should no longer hold the position you have with FOX. I DO NOT object to alternate views but I do object to lies. I do object to your future contribution? to what should be fair and balanced. You are not in that league.

  54. Mr. Williams, you sacrifice character and credibility of self and associates when you accuse President Trump of not being “presidential” even though you gave Bill Clinton a pass for his transgressions in the Oval Office. SAD!

  55. Tena Markham

    Juan. Remember that Obama said that Daca is temporary when he was former president..so he didnt do anything to work with illegal immigrants to help for years… Oh well … Some of Dreamers got in troubles in law…. thats not worth money to help them!!!!

  56. Bonnie Perry

    Dear Mr. Williams, last night I saw you debating with the minister regarding the comparison of Trump and the woman caught prostituting in the Bible. I only want to point out to you that if you read the passage in John referring to the stoning, it does not say that the woman wanted to follow Jesus. What it does tell us is that she was caught, she was going to be stoned by the pharisees, and Jesus stepped in which I am sure was a huge relief to her. I have no doubt that his actions proved Jesus’ love for her and she went and sinned no more. However, just as Jesus was trying to teach the pharisees not to judge her, he is also teaching us not to judge Trump or anyone based on what we believe. But what is more immportant, is that we cannot pur our judgements to actions where we spread gossip or try to turn others against someone simpy because of an idealogy we follow. And let’s not forget the most important words of that passage once they all demanded an answer as to why they should not stone the prostitute. Jesus answered, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” John 8:7. We need to all stop throwing stones and start coming up with solutions together. Left and right. All colors. All beliefs. Work together or we are only building upon the problem.

  57. Shame on you for your comments in the discussion with Pastor Jeffries. I will pray that you take a long look at your own heart and sins before you judge others. It may not matter to you, but judgement day is coming for all of us and we will all have to answer for our lives. So shame on you again. If you think you are without sin, then you should move to cnn and get back with your own kind.

    Oh.. you need to study the bible just a bit more. Jesus through the money changers out of the temple because they were desecrating a holy place.

    Again, shame on you.

  58. Juan, they came here illegally. Everyone of them are criminals in that sense alone. Are some worse then others? Yes. But make no mistake, they are all criminals as they violated our laws by coming here illegally.

  59. Juan is the biggest moron on the Fox channel he and Shep both should be fired they give Fox a bad name. Juan makes me ill when I see him he is so sickening. All he does is make a fool of himself on tv. By the way he is also afraid to say Merry Christmas! I am seriously considering not watching the five until they get rid of him. I just really like the rest of the cast on the Five.

  60. RE: The term “redskins.”

    Mr. Williams, it is my understanding that the term “redskins” has nothing to do with race or skin color, but rather is a tribute to American Indian warriors who painted their skin red to make themselves appear more fierce and to intimidate their enemies, so the term is not an insult but rather an acknowledgement of their courage. I can’t imagine that the original owners chose that name in order to insult Native Americans.

  61. Do you not realize that small business employs 70% of the employed?

  62. Richard Kettlewell

    Juan Williams seems like the kinda guy you’d have a beer with, as long as politics wasn’t discussed. If the conversation drifted to politics, I’d have to tell Juan to get lost. His hate for President Trump is obvious. He supports Black Lives Matter who’s motto is to “kill cops”. That makes Juan Williams a race baiter. So sad!

  63. Juan, Your “performance” on The Five day made me SICK. You have no reasoning ability and no common sense. When you open your mouth, leftist talking points come out automatically. Disgusting. You are a racist and race-baiter.

    Bashing guns in America is stupid and wrong. A hero with a gun stopped more carnage at the church yesterday. You whine and insult Americans who use guns. STFU, you stupid racists.

  64. Juan Williams is an idiot. Like the majority of liberals, disagreeing with him or calling out negative but factual information about non-white individuals or groups results in him crying “racist.” He’s like the boy who cried wolf, and like that boy, Williams needs to be ignored.

  65. Juan Williams. I watch the program called The Five almost daily. However when
    Juan Williams is part of the program, I have a tendency to change the channel.
    He talks about people being racist. But, listening to him, it is my opinion that he is a racist himself. Everything to him is black. When he refers to people of other color, he has that smug look on his kisser. If FOX got rid of him, I would continue to watch that program without changing the channel.

  66. Nancy Higuera-Plum

    Juan I am a widow of an OPD police officer who died in the line of duty when I was 25 years old and pregnant with my son. He had been a decorated war hero in Vietnam. A terrorist group called the SLA took credit for his death.

    It hurts my heart to hear you say it isn’t anything when a former football player wears disgusting socks calling my brave first husband a “pig”. By the way, I’m friends with at least 12 widows of police officers and their many family members who have also had their loved ones killed protecting all ethnic groups and economic status in Oakland.

    I do pray for all the five including you to never have an occasion where you need an officer in the middle of the night when you’re afraid.

    By the way,football players need to stand with hand over heart for this great country. I am an ex Raider fan since 1967(so sad)

    Continued success. Nancy Plum

  67. FOX NEWS< YOU ARE FIRING SOME THE FINEST THAT YOU COULD HAVE FOUND< YET YOU KEEP THUS DESPICABLE, DEPLORABLE, L:OUD MOUTH LIKE JUAN WILLIAMS, WHO JUST COMPARED PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE SATAN OF NORTH KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!,
    I CAN NEVER BRING MYSELF TO WATCH THOSE OTHER 4 PROFESSIONALS, BECAUSE OF THIS IDIOT

  68. MR.Williams you think it was wrong of the president to pass daca off to congress you think it is racist here is what people don’t know if a foreigner marries a soldier it is dam near impossible to get your spouse into this country but if you are a illegal Mexican who snuck into the United States you are fine you can stay but the person who puts his ass on the line for all of us fighting terrorist has to go through hell to get their spouse into the country and here is one more thing my wife’s grandmother was 103 years old and got sick went to the hospital and they said she couldn’t life on her own anymore she has to go into a nursing home and gues what they thought she was a illegal immigrant and they wanted to deport this 103 old woman because we couldn’t find her brith certificate to prove she was born here and we went through hell to keep her here but if she was a illegal Mexican we would not have had to worrie about them trying to deport her so next time you want to worrier about illegal immigrants worrier about are legal residents that are here we have enough problems with people that belong here

  69. Antonio Fernandez

    Juan,
    You refer to our president as Trump not the “President.” Your vivid display of hate and disrespect for our president is the reason I have developed a drastic dislike and intolerance for democrats (anti-american, anti-white racists bigots, anti-christian, social parasites) like you. I truly despise Obama but did not feel it would be right to be disrespectful, though I felt he was an anti-america parasitic maggot or vulture vomit.

    I love this country and since you want its demise then there is no reason to coexist. It is clear besides a paycheck from FOX News, you want the death of white america. Like Obama and the democratic party, you are an anti-american vulture vomit.

  70. Antonio Fernandez

    Mr. Williams – Black Lives Matter is an Anti-White Racist Bigoted Hate group, equal to the KKK. They want nothing more then to O.J. white people in streets and get away with it. Yet you defend them. So what does that make you?

  71. Antonio Fernandez

    On Charlottesville there were Nazi and skinheads on one side, and Communist/anarchists/flag burning anti-americans on the other side. You criticized our president for criticizing both. So that tells me you are anti-american, communist anarchist leanings. You belong on Crap Not News (CNN) or Militant Socialist Nothing But Crap (MSNBC) not FOX News.

  72. I DO NOT watch any show where juan williams appears! fox is not much better than CNN-MSNBC.

  73. Mr.Williams, you have to be playing a part,like stupid on the five.You really can’t believe that the tragedy this past weekend in Virginia was the fault off one side,both sides was looking for a fight.How is that when black lives matter was holding rallies a few years ago,those on the left said they had the right to do so,but those Saturday didn’t without being confronted?

  74. Juan Williams has so much hate for trump, it’s sickening, he’s a hater, he sickens me , he thinks he knows everything, fox you are wasting your time,with trying to say , you are fair and balanced, when I listen and observe Juan Williams, I see his disdain for everything , about trump, he blames him for the healthcare, why doesn’t , Juan Williams , blame his wonderful democrats, and in my opinion a handful of these republicans, especially that sellout John McCain, a real democrat, who made plenty of money with George soros, on old policy’s that he passed, it’s the same old story in Washington, they want to blame russia, for hillary losing, in reality this sick congress wants war with Russia, they are nuts

  75. Juan is an idiot

  76. Juan

    No doubt you are an intelligent person but do you just automatically drink the liberal line? As an independent Libertarian, I observe that your cohorts on The Five objectively reason when they consider a subject matter, but you appear to just speak out of emotion. While I don’t like to generalize, it seems this tends to be characteristic of the Left. Try actually engaging in the reasoning process sometime, it might actually open your mind.

  77. Kathleen Carroll

    This and the following article may answer your hysterical questions about President Trump, Jared Kuschner, etc.

  78. David R. Schwertfeger

    Juan: If I can fix the US Healthcare system are you willing to Listen???? Help??? “National Healthcare Initiatives & Cost Management Thesis” represents the most comprehensive reform of the healthcare system ever written, that will ultimately reduce spending 30-35% over a 3 yr. period.

  79. Stephanie Fletcher Davis

    I haven’t heard it mentioned in any argument, but why are health care facilities allowed to charge any price they want for procedures? The prices vary widely in the same location and the patient never knows what their charges might be until the bills come in. There is little ability to shop around for the best price. Wouldn’t it help the price of health care if prices were regulated according to procedure? There are regulations in every industry except health care, seemingly. Many people question this out here in America – why isn’t it addressed?

    Thanks,

    Juan, you are without a doubt the most honest and intelligent journalist going! “The Five” on Fox must hate when they have you on instead of that bumbling fool Bob Beckel whom they can steamroll and ridicule. They certainly can’t do that with you sir! They are phony as heck as are most Republicans and you keep them in check. Thank God for you!! Keep fighting to break the bubble that the Republicans live in on Fox “news”!

  81. pres. Obama also honored people in audience when he gave speeches but when pres. Trump does it he”s criticized! come on let’s get real and quit acting like children you are in your 60 this and I’m 80yoa.

  82. I cannot stand Juan Williams. He seems never to have anything positive to say and all I hear is ignorant rubbish. He is as biased as anyone can get. How he gets on all these shows escapes me. Take him off THE FIVE. He is an annoyance.

  83. Mr. Williams – I am a life-long conservative Republican. But I truly appreciate your professionalism, bravado and sense of decorum in your appearances on The Five. We now watch you guys regularly and see the synergy you have with your co-hosts; all of which are conservative. Glad to see you back – good luck and God Bless; you are a league above Mr. Beckel.

  84. I would respectfully ask why you are so upset about what Pres. Trump said during Bill O’Reillys interview when Obama went on an international “apology” tour and no one on the left seemed to mind at all. Hypocritical to say the least.

  85. Juan on the Five
    Are you the token…………..
    you thought I was going to say black guy didn’t you, lol, Token devils advocate is what I was going to say. Please tell me that you don’t believe half the garbage you say while debating with them. You have had a stellar career, and that being said you must of learned to say something other than what’s expected of you, come on man!

    Kevin

  86. Have you been to Arizona? 0 people coming across the border? I used to think you were an extraordinary smart person. Apparently you are just a blind, ignorant, fool. Shame on you!

  87. On a Sunday show Williams said that the press plays an important role in our society. I have to ask how this is true if they are partisan activist for one party?

    It seems to me the more accurate statement is that the press SHOULD play an important role in our society, but they no longer do.

  88. Replace Obamacare with Medicare for All
    My name is Terri Petersen and I am a breast cancer survivor times 2. My yearly mammograms and the surgeries my health insurance paid for is the reason I am alive. It is deadly for any American not to have health insurance. Please find below my thoughts on what I believe is the best way to fix it, with Medicare for All.

    Medicare for All
    # Pre-existing conditions would be covered in the Medicare for All program.

    1. Medicare for All would charge of $99 or $199, depending on income per person with a bill sent 4 times a year or taken out of a paycheck. Private insurance companies could continue to supply supplemental coverage. p.s. Prescription coverage would be a $10 or $5 co-pay.
    2. For families with children, look at a sliding scale. For example, $49 per child, $20 per child. .
    3. For low income families, there are state programs that have no or low premiums, but the deductibles are very high and do not encourage families and adults to get the treatment they need quickly. So, the Medicaid money could be moved to the Medicare for All programs and would eliminate the need for these state programs.
    4. All VETERANS would receive Medicare for All where they can seek treatment at any hospital or doctor of their choice. Another government agency eliminated.
    5. When all Americans are covered by Medicare for All, after a certain amount of time, businesses would be allowed to opt out of covering their employees. This would, hopefully, increase the employee’s pay and also encourage more companies to build in the U.S.A.
    6. Private insurance companies would provide and manage Medicare for all. One more government agency gone.
    7. Private insurance companies would provide supplemental policies or continue private policies.
    Important Note:
    # All Federal and State employees, from the President’s Office throughout the halls of Congress, would be required to sign up for Medicare for All. This would save taxpayers from paying for it and the Medicare for All Program would be so much better if the people writing the legislation would be using it. Of course anyone can opt out and pay for private insurance if they want to.
    # All Americans would be required to have health insurance. There would be a “presumption of coverage” and they see the doctor after starting the initial process for applying for health insurance. Hospitals and health care providers would have access to this process.
    # With Medicare for All, citizens would get wellness checks and early detection would not only save lives, but also save money for early stage treatment for so many diseases!

    Please check out my website: http://www.pinkbeads.us I help organize breast health events for women to receive free mammograms.

  89. Juan once again you insulted citizens who voted for Trump by saying you were sure they did not watch Obama’s farewell speech. We are NOT uneducated people but the reverse of that. I wanted the opportunity to see him spin and tell lies just ONE MORE TIME! I was not disappointed as he did both. Plus for his Holltwood actors have a Kleenex handy to wipe away one fake tea OMG give me a break please. Go do a movie with Meryl has been Streep!
    Juan, lose your tunnel vision it is not becoming!

  90. Mr. Williams..L love you but, I am no longer a Democrat because of their lack of ownership and name calling. Hillery lost because all she did was tell us what Trump did years ago. Not what she was going to do
    And as a so-called Christian did you forget, “he who is without sin let him cast the first stone.” If he has changed he deserves forgiveness.

  91. Mr. Williams, My daughter has worked all her adult life, now her and her son will have to go on obamacare. It is going to be more than her mortgage and the deductible will be $9,000. Now, Schumer is telling us it is not their fault. The Dems. made this pile of crap. but its not their fault no one voted for it except them. Obama lied about all of it, ” it’s not a tax you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plain”. What don’t you get, people are hurting? You could have taken what it cost for the web sight and paid for all the ones that could not pay their bills.Oh yeah,did we get any of that money back? I know; it’s just the peoples money who gives a crap!

  92. Diana Reese-Oster

    Juan, I think you are great person, father & grandfather. But I have got to ask you. What about Obamacare do not understand. Let me explain this to you. I live n the plane states & am retired.
    My daughter & her husband are middle class with 2 little girls. They do NOT qualify for Obamacare. But here is the PROBLEM & it’s a big one. Once Obamacare went into effect my children’s health insurance doubled first year & the 2nd year went up 50%. My middle class children can no longer pay for their insurance thanks to Obamacare. We are God fearing people & love & help our neighbors. But Obamacare is a freaking mess. Seriously how on earth can you support it, I will NEVER understand.

  93. I. Richard Toranto MD JD

    Juan,
    I am surprised that you let slide past the rediculous comment that “one could go on like and check” the quality and readiness of our nuclear arsenal as compared to others. Seriously, does anyone smarter. Than a turnip think that the genuine information on that gets one line. That do called expert is a joke.

  94. Juan Williams, Either Fox is paying you big bucks to play the part of a clueless, confrontational idiot, in which case you greatly excel in the role, OR you are truly the most obnoxious, and rudest yammering buffoon ever to befoul my TV screen. The eye-rolling, simian grimacing, the expression of stupid incredulity plastered on your silly face, the racist card in your one-card deck___is that an act, or is that the truly pitiful you ?

  95. Juan,when a opening on the view arises take it you are just like the gals. Mike

  96. James Schumacher

    You are correct in saying that FBI Director Comey should be investigated. In fact, he should be indicted by Trump’s DOJ for lying under oath to Congress when he tried to justify not recommending an indictment of Hillary. He lied about there being no other cases like hers where the person was indicted (see https://www.fbi.gov/sacramento/press-releases/2015/folsom-naval-reservist-is-sentenced-after-pleading-guilty-to-unauthorized-removal-and-retention-of-classified-materials , for instance). He lied about it being policy not to record interviews (http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/dept-of-justice-new-department-policy-concerning-electronic-recording-of-statements/ , http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/05/21/314616254/new-doj-policy-calls-for-videotaping-the-questioning-of-suspects , and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/22/fbi-recording-policy_n_5374413.html ). He lied about intent being required to indict under 18 U.S. Code § 793 (see sections ( d ), ( e ), ( f ), and ( g ) of 18 U.S. Code § 793 … https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793 ). He lied when he said “non-paper” means a nonclassified document when referring to the email where Hillary ordered her staff to turn a classified document into “non-paper” and email it to her (https://fam.state.gov/FAM/05FAM/05FAM1310.html#M1318 ). And I’m sure I could come up with many more instances of him perjuring himself to obstruct justice. He should be indicted and then Hillary and her aides should be investigated … for real, this time.

  97. Juan, are you a real sore loser, or just a jerk? I’m not watching The Five any longer until you apologize to the Trump family for referring to them as the Beverly Hillbillies. Grow up!!

  98. Juan must be a wonderful fellow since he says one of his sons is conservative. That actually says something for Mr. Juan Williams.
    Having said that, I believe it would be both educational and interesting to have Juan’s conservative son on “The Five” as a guest to compare his views with his father’s.
    This speaks to why America is a great nation. Even in families we can disagree on how to get to the “right place” and still love each other.

    Do you walk into your accountant each year and say “Make me pay the most taxes I can . ”

  100. You continually say that stop and frisk is unconstitutional.
    From WSJ Rudy Giuliani

    During my administration, the U.S. Justice Department spent two years examining stop and frisk and it filed no case. After continued use of the practice during the administration of Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Kelly, Judge Scheindlin found that the volume of stops and the focus on the African-American community made the practice not unconstitutional in general but unconstitutional as applied. This is the distinction that is so important—yet was misunderstood by Mr. Holt and misrepresented by Mrs. Clinton.

  101. Mr.Williams.. You are so pro democrat that your sickening.. Then you call yourself a political commentator or annalist.. Aren’t people in this type of business supposed to be equally objective?
