we know that the duly recognized leader of the country can't leave the country and the guy who is the target of the wrath is three blocks away holed up in a compound and he's not going anywhere. that will do it here. here comes "the five." ♪ >> jesse: hello, everybody. i am jesse watters with jedediah bila, juan williams, dana perino, and greg. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." attorney general bill barr clapping back against repeated attacks during his first hearing since releasing the mueller report. barr quickly dismantling a new liberal talking point, this comes after the media tried to blindside him last night with a report that robert mueller complained barr represented his findings in his 4-page summary of the investigation. barr explaining that mueller was actually upset with the media coverage and not the accuracy of

the summary. >> i offered bob mueller the opportunity to review the letter before it went out and he declined. i asked him if he was suggesting that the march 24 letter was an accurate and he said no but that the press reporting had been inaccurate. he argued for putting out summaries of each volume, the executive summaries that have been written by his office. he was clear with me that he was not suggesting that we had misrepresented his report. >> jesse: barr crushing democrats' claims that the president obstructed justice. figure s2 obstruction of justice, we surprised he was going to let you decide? >> yes, i was surprised. an obstruction case typically has two aspects to it. one, there's usually an airline criminality. >> let's stop right there. was there an underlying crime?

>> no. if the president is being falsely accused which the evidence now suggests the accusations against him are false. and he knew they were false and he felt that this investigation was unfair, propelled by his political opponents, and was hampering his ability to govern, that is not a corrupt motive for replacing an independent counsel. >> jesse: finally, barr calling out democrats for trying to politicize the investigation to protect president trump. >> you in fact exonerated or cleared the president. >> no, i didn't. i didn't exonerate. i said we did not believe that there was sufficient evidence to establish an obstruction offense which is the job of the justice department. the job of the justice department is now over. there is an election in 18 months. it's a very democratic process. but we are out of it. we have to stop using the criminal justice process as a political weapon.

>> jesse: well, jedediah, i watch the entire hearing today. >> jedediah: that's brutal. >> jesse: i don't think they laid a glove on william barr. he seemed composed. he seemed polished, and kind of out lawyered a lot of those politicians. >> jedediah: he has the patience of a saint. some of that questioning from kamala harris, the ridiculousness of how all of a sudden, you're not supposed to believe mueller's evaluation i mueller's evaluation of the evidence. ted cruz reminded everyone of the scope of the lawyers in the scope of the subpoenas in the interviews that went into the process. most people would look at this and say it was a criminal investigation. no crime was found. done, close the book. lets go of her pizza. because the derangement exists and they are so committed to this, they have have obsessed about it. the point of the media narrative is important. the fact that mueller was not

concerned with the accuracy saying listen, with barr in terms of his right up, oh, there's nothing inaccurate about it. i don't really like the fact that it's being played out in the media. why should the special counsel care how it's being played out in the media? his job was to find whether there was something criminal here. his job was to weigh in on obstruction, not to turn around and say i'm not saying there wasn't obstruction but i'm also not saying there was. let me leave this to the media and leave it to congressional democrats to run with it. the fact that he was concerned about media perceptions really tells you what drove this whole thing because he knew there was no crime. he knew there was no finding. he wanted the media could take the bait, which they did and he wanted the democrats to take the bait, which they did. good for barr for standing ground on the ridiculous questions. i was at home laughing, thinking how is he even sitting there with a straight face. he kept batting them out. >> jesse: i thought he did a pretty good job. juan, one point barr said

mueller was snitty. he said that was the one time. >> juan: he had a snit. >> greg: i heard he was full of snit. >> juan: everyone who knows bill barr tells me he's a good lawyer and a credible guy. i thought there was no question, leave it to other people to decide whether he lied but he clearly muddied the waters with regard to what mueller had told him, when he said to the congress previously mueller had no objection to my release of the information, the summary of the information. you get a situation where nancy pelosi now says that what bill barr has done has caused her to lose confidence in him and lose the public confidence. i think that was what mueller was talking about. mueller indicated to him we need to do this differently.

barr's response today is you know what, the president was falsely accused. president has -- >> jesse: he was. >> juan: i don't think so. >> jedediah: you don't think -- >> juan: if you look at the obstruction of justice, even on the issue of conspiracy, there's a -- the trump campaign welcomed information from the russians. i will leave it because i think bill barr said in his summary and this is correct, that what robert mueller found was no conspiracy. but he left the obstruction of justice charge open. >> jedediah: you don't think that mueller would've charged obstruction. there was no evidence. did he stop the investigation? did he say you can't continue? did he exert executive privilege? he didn't do any of that. >> juan: for two weeks, he withheld, i think it was closer to a month, withheld the report and allowed the public perception to -- the president is guilty of

nothing. >> jesse: let's clear this up. the facts, dana, he was given this report by robert mueller. he obviously had to give a verdict, as he described it, either charged or not charge. if he sat on the report for three weeks after having it been delivered it would've raised more suspicion. he said no collusion, and he took ownership of obstruction, no obstruction. i then tried to make sure he got all of the redactions right and released it. >> dana: there's calls from democrats for him to resign which i think are baseless. obviously quite partisan. he told the committee when he was confirmed, i will do two things, i will promise mueller will be allowed to finish his work with no interference. that happened. the other thing he promised is that he would try to make it available in the most transparent way possible. you can disagree with how he did that, but there's no doubt that we all have the report now, all of it except for the little pieces that are classified and

we can't see those because of grand jury testimony. the thrust of the theory at him is maybe going to be borne out tomorrow if he goes to this hearing on the house side which we should talk about maybe the next block. did he mischaracterize? he had not talked to mueller's people who were anonymously leaking in the media. he. actually, we find today, he spoke to bob mueller on the phone himself. so i think he handled himself very well today. it was interesting. i was here on set all day and i follow a lot of people from both sides of the aisle and it was the most triable reaction. everybody, if you support the president, you had a certain point of view. if you don't support the president, you have another point of view. i think that barr tried to avoid all of that and just answer the questions very patiently. i might add. >> jesse: that one time he showed a little bit like someone was getting under his skin, when kamala harris was grilling him. >> greg: that was

unbelievable. what happened? i didn't see it. i am exhausted. i will tell you why. we are moving floor so i was cleaning out my office all day and then i did a fox nation hit with abby in her car where she drives around. then i did a podcast with the guy who believes we're living in a simulation. you should check that out. i didn't watch one single moment of this. do you know why? because i didn't want to. i didn't need to. i know this is going to shock people but the report is publicly available. i mean, if you actually have a problem with it, yeah, sure there is some redactions. if you actually think barr was dishonest, you can go look at the report. it's right there. i think barr is like me at the gym. he was unimpressed by all the lightweights. he was sitting there, to be clear when mueller says he was worried about public confusion, he wasn't talking about the fact that he was quizzing people at mcdonald's. he was talking about the media. the fact is what barr did which upsets the media, they are a bunch of crybabies who are

suffering from collusion withdrawal. when inmates make booze out of hand sanitizer. >> jesse: no, but go ahead. >> greg: i will show you. the media is trying to make collusion out of this letter. they are just like inmates in imprisoned by their own biases and tantrums. they are looking for something so they can keep extending this pathetic tantrum. the fact that this is about mueller's mood that may be was slightly miffed, why didn't barr show how slightly miffed i was. how sanguine and mopey i was. it's a report. it's not your dream journal, mueller. we know what happened. the fact is it comes down to the reason why i met -- morning joe. barr got ahead of them. he didn't let them spin the story. he got the stuff out there and everyone was like oh, we can't

do what we normally do which is allied to the public. we can't shape the story. >> juan: you're right. >> jesse: what was the spin? >> juan: what was telling, if you didn't watch, lindsey graham, chairman of the committee says i didn't even read the report. because the trump people are saying no obstruction, no collusion. >> greg: i don't have to watch it. i get it all from you. >> dana: if i can add one thing. in the original march 23 summary when barr puts it out, he included the line from mueller that said they did not reach a conclusion on exoneration -- or on obstruction. and he left it to the attorney general. what do you think the attorney general is going to do? if we accept that eric holder's of definition of the attorney general is right and that he is the president's wing man, why would you not try to get the news out as quickly as possible. he quoted mueller's report on

obstruction. there's no inaccuracy on no collusion. on obstruction, he actually quotes mueller's report in the original letter. >> juan: mueller asked -- let's pick this up. >> jesse: we are going to leave it there. up next, more bombshell exchanges from today's hearing with attorney general barr. newday's operation home lets veterans buy a home with no down payment and no closing costs. now there's no reason to rent when you can buy.

>> you have been adroit and agile in your responses to questions here, but i think history will judge you harshly. speak of the american people know you are no different from rudy giuliani or kellyanne conway or any of the other people who sacrifice their

once decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the oval office. >> dana: welcome back. reaction to william barr's testimony today. there was a lot of that. there was more where that came from when it came to senator hirono from hawaii. she spoke for a long time and cost a little bit of a kerfuffle. >> greg: don't use such language, dana. >> dana: kerfuffle. they were finally, like to have a question? >> jesse: it looked like it was written by her staff and she read it. lindsey graham said it was slanderous at one point and cut her off because she was just flame throwing. i thought barr was very professional and poised and more agile than a lot of the senators. he obviously has a much sharper legal mind than many of these people up there and he made an airtight defense of how he handled this thing professionally and appropriately, no matter what anybody else says. mueller's letter, to me, looked like someone who would gotten fantastic coverage for two years

from the right, from the left. he was this noble prince that everybody loved and respected. the minute he submits this report and doesn't convict the president, all the press coverage shifts and starts turning negatively against him, and he hated that. couldn't stand it that he was all of a sudden getting negative press coverage, so he writes this letter to memorialize, which is important, to say that he was upset with the way things were handled. not upset with the baseline conclusions of the letter. he was upset that more information wasn't put out in that the media was running wild with speculation over his decision not to charge obstruction and he felt like he wanted to add more. you know what, he works for barr. it's like your junior employee complaining to the boss, i don't like the way you did this. it's not his role. once he submits the report, it's over. >> juan: richard blumenthal, senator from connecticut, spoke to this point when he said there's nothing in mueller's

letter about the press. he's concerned about the way that you, attorney general barr, has presented this to the american people and the fact that you delayed it so that the trump white house kids in it and that you did not use the summaries offered by the report. >> jesse: it's not his role to criticize how it was handled. he submits a report that he did to his boss. the boss doesn't even have to share the whole thing with congress. the boss decides to take the bottom-line decision. it's a binary deal. charger no charge. he released it to the public and he included the language about not necessarily exonerating him, nasa where leavitt. he. he didn't have time. >> dana: barr isn't the one who said total exoneration. >> juan: jim comey has a piece in "the new york times" and he says this is the way president trump eats the souls of people. >> jedediah: come on.

>> greg: here is a fact. >> juan: the inaugural crowd size was the biggest ever. >> dana: do you think this hearing pushes democrats to be more likely or less likely to try to do impeachment? >> greg: this is one of those stories. last week there was a story about tom arnold recording cohe cohen. where did it go? nowhere. it keeps the media busy and nurses the withdrawal. what you saw when you're playing those clips, you saw a lot of heroes, people who want to be called heroes on msnbc or cnn. they are showboating like kids at camp. the funny thing is ignored or talk about collusion, we haven't brought up the fact that the letter came out right before the hearing. that's a hell of a coincidence. the real collusion will be the media and the democrats and it's pretty destructive because it's trying to undermine the presidency and create a lie about what happened.

the mueller report is two parts. they wanted to be three. first part said no collusion. second part was a reaction by a man falsely accused part one. they want part three to be "so what? get him." >> dana: it's not over. tomorrow the house judiciary committee has called barr to testify. it's unlikely that's going to happen, given something we'll talk about the moment but take a listen, jedediah, to some of them today. jerry nadler. >> clearly misled the murky people. he seems to have testified not truthfully to the senate and the house. >> i think in the interest of the department, should step down. >> our worst fears were that the attorney general of the united states deliberately and purposefully misled the american people and congress. bob mueller confirmed it. >> i think barr should resign, and if he does not resign, he should be facing impeachment also. >> dana: all right. >> jedediah: he didn't mislead anyone. he bottom lined it.

he took out the nonsense that mueller wrote, the sole bopper that he wrote. >> dana: asking, have you heard that the people are unhappy, it's a little bit of splitting hairs. >> jedediah: it's a big splitting of hair. they hate that he bottom-lined it. saying that there was no conspiracy found, no ruling on obstruction. it told you everything you needed to know without the other nonsense. there were tons of things trump did that weren't nice and work fun and he shouldn't of done. wasn't in good judgment but it wasn't criminal. this was a criminal investigation. wait, hold on. >> juan: let me quote one thing from mueller's letter to barr so everybody can judge for themselves. here is mueller speaking to barr. "your report did not fully

capture the context, nature, substance of my findings." >> jesse: that was a great example. he said if you have a court hearing and then you have a convict or acquit, if you're going to summarize it, you're going to say not guilty, not guilty. you're not going to go well, great presentation of evidence. you're not going to get into the weeds. >> juan: and i'm the defense lawyer, not the lead lawyer from the united states. i am the defense for the united states president. >> jesse: the department of justice also works for the executive branch. >> juan: top law enforcement officer. >> dana: are you saying, juan, that barr should've made a different decision and went ahead and said we recommend charging the president with obstruction based on that report? >> juan: no. >> dana: then why are we having this argument? >> juan: this is a guy who believes the president is above the law.

he thinks the president, executive power is extensive and the if the president wants to fire the special counsel. he didn't dispute that when the president called don mcgahn and said i think we should get rid of this guy, no, he says that's not firing. that's removal versus firing. >> jesse: that was a great explanation he made. he said when you call someone up and you say wait, kick it to rod rosenstein because i believe mueller is conflicted and i would like to have him removed. that's a lot different than saying you're fired. >> greg: there is another thing that people are forgetting. no one is found to be guilty, you kind of have an obligation to protect those people in the report. you know what i mean, the function of the redaction. you can't keep punishing people. you want to keep punishing these people. >> jesse: that's what comey did. >> dana: it's why mueller didn't give a press conference because comey set a terrible

precedent. were going to change topics. up next, how the crisis in venezuela reigniting the second amendment here in america. it's tough to quit smoking

♪ >> jedediah: another day of clashes in the streets of venezuela after opposition leader juan guaido called for an uprising against the socialist multirole regime. you probably noticed the protesters were unarmed and can't really fight back against the government. that's because venezuela banned private gun ownership in 2012. while covering the cast yesterday, the mainstream media accidentally slipped up and defended america second amendment. watch. >> have to understand in venezuela, gun ownership is not something that is open to everybody. some of the military has the guns, they have the power. as long as the nicolas maduro controls the military, he controls the country. >> jedediah: jesse, quite a slip up there.

i always wonder why it's so hard for people and media to realize that was happening over there could happen over here. same thing for socialism, it's like that's over there. that's happening over there. but that is what the fear is, that ultimately one day could that happen here if all of our rights are taken away? >> jesse: the media never looks to reality for examples. they can see everything happening all over the world, both emily say okay, what about its impact here in the united states, they never take that to heart. i think it was acosta, jim at cnn who accidentally mitigates for the wall when he went down. once in a while, these things happen. this isn't theoretical. eric swalwell who's running for president has talked about gun confiscation. stacey abrams, georgia democrat, has also talked about gun confiscation and going door-to-door to enforce the confiscation. so when conservatives in this country talk about the second amendment and rights that need to be protected, it's not theoretical.

we have seen the last administration use the irs to target the tea party. we have seen the last administration violate allegedly the privacy of trump campaign officials. we have seen a lot of their government use their power. when you look at examples in venezuela, that's quintessential government abuse of power and not a peaceful transfer of power which we actually didn't really have last time as well. >> juan: do you think if those people had guns there would be anything but more chaos, more violence and more death? >> jesse: it prevents the government from being that egregious -- >> juan: let me ask you, new york city, you think if you have a gun you could stand up to the new york city police department much less the national guard or the military. >> jesse: if the american people are armed -- >> juan: to the teeth. >> jesse: to the teeth, which we are. >> jedediah: you don't think the citizenry has a right to -- they are faced with a terrific

leader. they are protesting that they are powerless. >> juan: they are not powerless. >> jedediah: they are being run over by military tanks because the military is mostly siding with maduro and the rest of the population that are fighting for their rights, they are unarmed. >> juan: this is a fantasy. first of all, it's an apples and oranges comparison between the u.s. and another country. there is no reality to the idea that if some people had guns, automatic weapons, they could stand up to the military. no. that's an invitation to more death and chaos. it's a reach by people trying to make the argument for guns for everyone. in. >> greg: the anti-second amendment activists often dismiss the argument that lawful gun ownership prevents -- is an organic defense against tyranny. that is long as we have the second amendment, we have guns, but there's probably never going to be an opportunity for a government to turn tyrannical or socialist or fascist in the

united states. someone argue trump is already there but i gotcha. the media makes the case for everything they are against. trump is a a great example. i think they elected trump by making argument against him. why is it only socialist countries want to take away your guns? they know ultimately their ideology can only be coerced. guns make that caution impossible. once the guns are in the hands of the population you can no longer control the population. >> dana: i was going to make the same argument but the reverse which is the best way to prevent this from ever happening here is to continue to have a free and fair country that respects the rule of law. >> jedediah: absolutely. it's important to note that when the weapons confiscation plan was put in the place, only 37 firearms were turned over voluntarily. people did not want to do it until they were forced. democrat comes out, bernie sanders, crazy plan to let felons vote from prison and kirsten gillibrand's latest cringeworthy moments. the 2020 roundup is coming up next.
