we are expecting something in the vicinity of 60% unemployment. may be 21.5 million lost jobs. bright and early tomorrow morning. see you then. fox news continues now. ♪ >> jesse: hello, everybody. i am jesse watters with dana perino, juan williams, greg gutfeld and emily compagno. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." major breaking news and another crushing blow for the russian witch hunt. the department of justice recommends dropping its criminal case against former national security advisor mike flynn. a federal judge still must sign off on the move by the doj. president trump says he's "very happy" for flynn and tearing into the former top fbi officials. >> he was an innocent man. he was a great gentleman.

he was targeted by the obama administration, and he was targeted in order to try to take down a president. what they have done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid. anything like this has never happened before in the history of our country and i hope a lot of people are going pay big price because they are dishonest, crooked people. they are scum, human scum. the obama administration justice department was a disgrace and they got caught. they got caught, very dishonest people. much more, it's treason. it's treason. >> jesse: the president blasting the media for how unfairly they treated flynn. >> the media is totally guilty and all of those riders and so-called journalists, they are not journalists. they are thieves. all of those journalists that received a pulitzer prize should be forced to give those pulitzer prizes back because they were

all wrong. if you saw today more documents came out saying there was absolutely no collusion with russia. they tried to do a number on the presidency. and this president, happened to be me. >> jesse: and shifty adam shift just reacting to the news tweeting "flynn pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his illicit russian contacts. lies do not become truths. this doesn't exonerate him but it does incriminate bill barr, the worst politicization of the justice department and its history." wow, okay. i think mccabe now chiming in saying they are just doing this, bill barr, to please the president. this is a shocking release from the department. they are basically saying, this is a document they just put out. the only reason to interview

flynn was to entrap him into a lie and that the interview was unjustified, saying these guys in the white house like that and it was unrelated to the counterintelligence investigation. there was nothing wrong with the phone call. it was perfectly appropriate, greg, for him to call the russian ambassador. this is as bad as it gets. >> greg: are you talking to me? >> jesse: i am, mr. gutfeld. >> greg: anyway, i'm just going to start talking because i am assuming you're asking me a question but i have no sound. you solve president trump pretty angry. why is he angry? it's because if the media and the democrats had just accepted the reality that they hated 2016 instead of deciding if trump wins we destroy everybody in that universe. it was a contamination effect. if you had any kind of connection to trump, you are

done. everyday people have experienced far worse trauma in their lives than their party losing an election. people have lost loved ones. jobs, limbs, and they didn't spend four years on a psychotic warpath determined to get revenge for their bitter loss. what what the democrats have to show for it? trump said if you elect me are going to be so tired of winning, the democrats must be tired of losing. we are doing in the a block on flynn and the mueller investigation is being exposed. this is like a walk down memory lane. observing the democrats. it's like you're in a bar and they drew boxes playing the band that was on the titanic. this is nothing but loss after loss after loss. it's beautiful. now i'm going to fix my ear. >> jesse: okay. emily, it looks like they had to do this to save face.

the judge was likely going to toss the case. more and more evidence was coming up to show that it was cooked up. and the prosecutor who also worked for mueller have been hiding evidence for a very long time and lying to the judge about it. >> emily: the point of an investigation is to uncover bad actors and misdeeds. this filing shows that all of the misdeeds and although bad actors were in the fbi itself. if you -- as you introit, the fact that they called the interview with flynn untethered to end unjustified by the entire other investigation and they said it was unwarranted and they said that his statements were immaterial. so for those people like shifty and wiggly peter strzok's attorney who said earlier about this entire thing is politicizing the fbi and that for some reason they are more aghast by what's uncovered in the filing then what it

represents, which is the complete obliteration of due process. i don't understand, especially for the party on the left who claims to be committed to due process and committed to all the individual liberties afforded to one by the bloated government they want to support, why this isn't something they should actually be refreshed by. to greg's point, the fact that it is loss after loss after loss, at least now they know the source. i have to point out the statement that killed me the most, the fbi sidestepped a modest but critical protection that constrains the investigative reach of law enforcement. the predication threshold for investigating americans. what that means is that if the fbi is investigating your neighbor down the street on an unrelated matter, they can come on into your house, entrap you in something, threaten your son, get you to say something that doesn't really matter then charge you on it simply because they can. this at least is holding them accountable on paper and in a

motion and it's up to enforce us with accountability at the ballot box. >> jesse: yeah. i mean, this is prosecution out of control at the very worst. juan. you've got to just level with the audience, my man. you are wrong on this thing. every time we have been talking about this, each pillar of this investigation, this russia witch hunt has crumbled. it continues to crumble. you can just apologize if you want to, so the floor is yours. >> juan: well, thank you, jesse. i will apologize for you but i don't think i have much to apologize for. ending this whole thing is so puzzling in part because flynn pled guilty on two occasions. so why would he be pleading guilty if he was innocent? i don't get it in the least. i tell you what. trump himself tweeted that flynn

lied to vice president pence in explaining why president trump fired mike flynn. not only that, there were indications, remember the justice department indicated the russians were in position to blackmail flynn because they knew about the life and there was a transcript of his conversation with the russian ambassador, kislyak. in which he is talking about sanctions against russia for interfering in the 2016 campaign. nobody argued about the interference. you think about something you just said, jesse, about the judge. the judge in this case, emmet sullivan, just last week said there was no reason to dismiss the charges because there was no basis to the idea that either the evidence had been manipulated, that he had been coerced into a confession, or that somehow there had manufactured a charge against him. the judge dismissed all of it and said the charges and the

guilty plea stood. so now you have bill barr -- >> jesse: before the evidence came out, juan. >> juan: there's no added evidence now. all bill barr is saying is he had somebody. >> jesse: the 302 came out last week. >> juan: the top investigator in this case has not withdrawn in protest. this is a political move by bill barr to take the pressure off trump one trump was going to issue a pardon for his buddy. this is the politicization of law in america, and it is sickening. >> greg: [laughs] >> jesse: okay. we don't have that long for me to knock down every false statement you just made to america so i won't. dana perino, the timing of the situation, looks like they had to get rid of flynn because flynn was about to take over his national security advisor so he would have access to all the things that they cooked up over

the last year. the wiretaps, the spies, all the interference they had been cooking up against the presidential campaign. they had a meeting. biden was there. maybe he doesn't remember. it was biden, sally yates, and it was susan rice. they talked about the logan act, and they talked about this conversation he had with kislyak. what do you know? a week later, comey sends the agents into the white house, doesn't let the white house counsel know about it but sneaks them in and tries to entrap the guide to get them fired. that's pretty dirty. >> dana: okay, i'm not sure that there's a question there but i also know we are running out of time, so let me say what i think is going to happen next. or should happen next. there's a lot of political leadership during the democratic administration of barack obama that has on background been whispering to reporters and amongst themselves for years

about how this is all on the merits and we -- our eyes are going to be open to all these things that were going on. none of that has ever come to fruition. they are in a position now that they either have to spill it or admit it, that they didn't have what they said they had. i'm glad that the justice department is pushing. i worked there for a little while right after 9/11. our justice system is an amazing institution but it has to be protected. if protecting it means that you have to turn it upside down and look under all the rugs and the rocks, and that might be we have to go through. it might be a little bit painful as a country to watch it but it might be very eye-opening as to what was happening. they wonder why people are skeptical of institutions, of government and the media. this is a great example. the last thing i would say it's for michael flynn, somebody who i knew during the bush of administration, i'm glad for him

tonight for him to have this peace of mind and i hope that he sleeps really well. >> jesse: yeah, i'm sure he will. coming up, democrats desperate to make the sexual assault allegation against joe biden go away. it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon. a very big development is up next. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream.

♪ >> dana: welcome back to "the five." some democrats like speaker nancy pelosi have been saying it is case closed on a sexual assault allegation against joe biden. but his accuser, tara reade, she's not done talking. she just sat down with an interview with megyn kelly. take a look at what reade says

should happen to biden's campaign. >> you and i were there. joe biden. please step forward and be held accountable. he should not be running in character for the president of the united states. you want him to withdraw? >> i wish he would. he won't but i wish he would. that's how i feel emotionally. >> do you want an apology? >> i think it's a little late. >> dana: reade saying that she's ready to testify under oath and would allow cross-examination. jesse, this is one of the things that the story has not included up to now which is people being able to see tara reade for herself. do you think this will change anything? >> jesse: i do. obviously when you see this woman speak, she's highly intelligent, she's articulate and she believes something happened. we don't know the truth. she definitely is convincing. that's not good enough but it's definitely something when you see it and you feel it.

i understand why she chose megyn kelly. she's in a tough spot. she wants to do the most fair and balanced or kind of nonpartisan interview she can, and the democrat media, they are not really reaching out to her. they are playing games. she doesn't want to go on fox first, although you know, "watters world" has been trying to book her. i'm not going to hold it against her that she chose megyn kelly. that's fine. but megyn has been a crusader for women but she's also a lawyer who understands due process. she doesn't also have this big corporate entanglement behind her. you know, a big relationship with politicians, other agendas. it's kind of a pure interview. but do i think that this puts it to rest? no. the polygraph challenge, that's a big deal. she's going to obviously do more interviews. i think this summer is going to be interesting and it's not going away. >> dana: one thing that happened, greg, to tara reade.

she has had she's been treated terribly by the biden campaign and by the surrogates and there's one more click here where he talks about those people with the blue checks. watch. >> it's been stunning actually, how some of his surrogates with the blue checks, saying really horrible things about me and to me on social media. he hasn't himself, but there's a measure of hypocrisy with the campaign saying that it's safe. it's not been safe. all of my social media has been hacked. >> dana: greg, what do you make of that? >> greg: reminds everybody before they go after her, she's a democrat, lifelong democrat, worked for biden for a long time. right now the demsw needed a candidate they can get behind and not a candidate that can get behind them. they are stuck. here is what's really vile. joe biden says if he's elected, he will reverse or rule issued

by the education secretary, betsy devos, it's an amazing move to bolster protections for students accused of sexual assault on campus. so trump -- not trump. joe biden is trying to block the presumption of innocence for students, but he expects that for himself. so he's kind of basically saying he deserves more rights than your son or daughter on campus. so that takes all of my goodwill off the table. i did believe he should have the presumption of innocence but now i say screw the old handsy. >> dana: that rule that betsy devos announced last night was something the obama administration had put forward. it was starting to see joe biden say that he would reverse it for the reasons that greg just said. not to mention the fact that you had nancy pelosi on the record this week saying that she believed joe biden. dianne feinstein interviewed today nothing to say here.

didn't know this person. they have all basically said there's nothing to see here, shutting tara reade down. now she has done this interview. what do you think happens next? >> juan: joe biden has denied it, right? the question is, when a person denies it, and that's why i'm interested to know, megyn kelly says ms. reade was emotional, candid. she never detail the news in the interview and the clips that we saw, not much news there. still no evidence, no record of her even having filed a complaint yet. we know about the evolving details of the story and her story has changed over time. but dana, i think what concerns me is there is no pattern near. there's a pattern with trump. there's a pattern with weinstein. there is no pattern with biden. i think that's why democratic voters in the papers this morning said even with this

revelation, he continues to have a substantial lead in the race against donald trump. >> greg: no pattern? no pattern? everybody knows there's a pattern with joe, it's an open secret, as they often said about weinstein. the due had his hands on everybody. you know the story. >> juan: i hear, because i live in washington and i used to circulate very heavily in those circles, i've never heard that about joe biden. people say he might touch someone's shoulder, smell their hair. >> greg: and that's in public. >> dana: let me get emily in. >> juan: earlier this week, hang on, michelle goldberg, columnist for "the new york times" wrote tara reade had sent a tweet to a reporter saying tick tock, tick tock, just wait for it, as if she had a bombshell to blow up joe biden. it makes it all look political.

>> dana: okay. emily, one thing i would point to is that there are many times, i'm not saying this specifically about joe biden. how many times has there been an accusation against somebody where you think wow, that's not the neighbor i knew. that's not a pattern. it doesn't mean that it didn't happen at one point. and it's now coming to light. >> emily: that's exactly right, dana pittard with all due respect to you, juan, just because you don't know something doesn't make it preposterous. every serial killer arrest we've ever seen also includes an clip of the neighbor being like "i had no idea he was burying bodies in the backyard." it's always a surprise. to greg's point, there was an 5 billion memes floating around the planet about creepy joe because he was an angel. he wasn't exactly running a tight defense. two things struck me about tara reade's interview. the fact that she said my ex-boyfriend, my ex landlord, everyone has been given a

platform but me. and also she said about the biden campaign, the fact that for all the encouragement, they are constantly giving for women to be able to "speak safely," she said i haven't encounter that. to me, that was the most disappointing and unfortunately saddest part. i think that her calls for him to step aside sort of cloud the central argument for her which is this happened and unfortunately it gives detractors and ability to apply a motive to her coming forward. >> dana: interesting point. we have not heard the end of all that but we have to move on. up next, lone star freedom. the dallas salon owner who refused to shut down her business is released from prison. we'll tell you about it challenging it is right now. whether you're facing unemployment. have bills to pay.

>> juan: the jailed texas salon owner at the center of a major lockdown controversy is now free. shelley luther released from jail to the cheering crowds. texas supreme court ordering she be let out after a major uproar from state officials. ms. luther was sent to jail for seven days after refusing to apologize for keeping her hair salon open despite lockdown measures. ms. luther reacted to her release. >> i just want to thank all of you who i just barely met and now you're all my friends. you mean so much to me, this would have been nothing without you. >> juan: emily, you're the lawyer here today, so let me ask you. the texas supreme court says they're reviewing the case, but we know that the lockdown ends tomorrow, friday. so she can go back to work and the salon will be legally open. but is it still possible that she could have to go back to

jail for having previously broken the law? >> emily: to explain to viewers how this is working, a lot of the charges that we are seeing throughout the country are sort of baked in criminal violations, so for example san francisco, man arrested recently for breaking social distancing, they charged him with trespass and then the underlying charge was just a violation of public health and safety. that's not exactly criminal. in this particular case, the reason she went to jail is basically contempt. she refused to apologize. it's a standard example of the hubris and judicial overreach baked into our criminal justice system which frankly isn't just at all most of the time. the irony to me about this case is the fact that if she had been charged with an actual crime and in some cases some that are perceived as violent like making terroristic threats, she would have been released. she wouldn't have gone to jail because of covid concerns. here's the irony. because she broke an ordinance

that was put in place to protect us from the virus, she was then put into the hot spot where you contract the virus at an alarmingly high rate. it's like a briar patch. where is the justice in that? it's absolutely ridiculous. i'm glad this case happened if only to shed light on the fact that states around the country are disproportionately applying this and law enforcement is that all is whether to enforce the laws. she's trying to go to work. >> juan: greg, i must say what sticks in my mind is you shouldn't just be able to break the law. this was an executive order from a republican governor, similes and come intended to protect us all from the virus. what do you think? >> greg: i agree with you, i feel the same way about, one of those places you love, sanctuary cities? anyway. i know it's a republican governor but i do believe it's a very varied democratic city in a

very, very democratic mayor. so nice try on that one. in these kind of stories, visuals drug coverage and that means extreme stories tend to be noticed more than others. this was an extreme kind of incident. it's going to be memorable about this time, about the pandemic, remember the woman that owned the hair salon. it's going to be memorable but it's not necessarily indicative of our law enforcement or americans or the experience. this is not happening a lot. it's important that we see that overreach as possible. we have to check ourselves. the fact is we know, the safe bet, washing hands, not shaking hands, face masks, not gathering in large crowds to the brunt of the work in the flattening. we are beginning to wonder if the more draconian measures, policing beachgoers, especially outside, shutting down beaches, probably added little to this. there are studies right now.

there is a meta-study analysis that shows casual, short interactions are not the main spreader of this. that if you could practice social distancing, we are going to have to. so the draconian measures we're going to have to let go. >> juan: dana, the white house said today they are not going to follow some cdc guidelines. what we know is that they want to get things open. i think everybody wants things open safely. the question then arises, if we go in that direction, should they be ignoring the fact that so many states in fact have a rising number of cases even as they are reopening. >> dana: it's possible that the cdc guidelines might have been too strict or too stringent based on the new information that they have. it's a new data point every hour

on the coronavirus. greg just pointed out a good one about being outside. now there's questions about, is it dangerous to wear a mask while you're exercising. every day you find out something new so i think may be that stories a little overwritten that the white house is not using those particular guidelines. obviously we are using guidelines. i want to say that the woman in dallas, as greg said, i'll always remember where i was when i saw that woman. to stick up for her principles and see her released. i admire it, i really do. i think it's amazing that on one day you had her release from jail, you had michael flynn's case dropped in the justice department, and you have the bridge gate case be thrown out by the supreme court. it's been an amazing day of our people who were accused of things. >> juan: that is true. jesse, to finish up, i think people in this country admire civil disobedience, people standing up for what they see is

right, principal. but i think you also have to accept the consequences, in the martin luther king jr. tradition. if you get sent to jail, you go to jail a new don't put other people in harm's way. how does that fit with this history? >> jesse: she was willing to go to jail. she went to jail for a certain amount of time. i don't see anything wrong with that. listen, if you go to a barbershop and you wash your hands before going into the barbershop. and the barber washes his hands and you two are the only one in the barbershop and you are both wearing masks and you get a trim and then you pay with credit card, i don't think you're going to spread coronavirus, especially if you have the door or a window open. let's just be honest about this. >> dana: f. >> juan: i hope that's right, i really do. coming up, the epicenter of the outbreak in america now questioning it stay at made the problem worse. those details are right ahead. state with us on "the five."

♪ >> emily: welcome back. new york governor andrew cuomo saying he was shocked by new information showing widespread lockdowns weren't as effective as previously thought. take a look. >> 18% of the people came from nursing homes. less than 1% came from jail or prison. 2% gain from the homeless population. 2% from other congregate facilities. 66% of the people were at home. which is shocking to us. >> emily: greg, you have been highlighting for a while that the majority of infections there have been happening in the home. what is your take on this and what now for new york? >> greg: nobody knows anything. all of the assumptions that were made months ago could turn out

to be correct, that it's an indoor virus and that outside when the weather gets better, whatever. that could be wrong too but my gut tells me that putting people in tight spaces who are sick doesn't work. we know in washington with rest homes, 64% of those people had coronavirus. it is a closed system with aged, vulnerable people. so you want cause and effect? in new york they basically put contagious people in rest homes instead of using the big beautiful boat that we had on the west side highway. that caused thousands to die. i made a chart. do you want to see my chart? >> emily: yes. >> dana: yeah, i love charts. >> greg: it's my upside down pyramid. the top is elderly, infirm patients. these are the people they get hurt the most by the virus. if you protect that group, all the subsequent groups, their

risk goes down. what you have to do is protect this group and then the risk, their rate of infection will die out. not completely but it will go down. it's an upside down pyramid. every subsequent population benefits, benefits if you protect the elderly and the infirm. unfortunately new york did this. what they did was they didn't protect the elderly and infirm. they said sick people in with the elderly and infirm which spread the disease. also got health care workers sick as well. that's my chart for today. did it make sense? >> dana: good chart. >> jesse: thanks, karl rove. made perfect sense. >> emily: speaking of health care workers, dana, cuomo has announced that those out-of-state health care workers that answer the call to assist and work on the front lines there will not have to pay taxes to him. your thoughts on that.

>> dana: that's pretty amazing to me. i remember when the governor made this plea and he simply did you come to new york, we need additional workers, health care workers, nurses, doctors. please come to new york and summative people answer the call we had them on the shows as part of the america together campaign. here come the nurses from michigan and wisconsin and oklahoma and they came to new york. now he says thank you for coming. you are going to actually have to pay taxes on what we are paying you here. new york taxes and whatever you're getting paid from the job that you have out in oklahoma. you have to pay newer taxes on those wages as well because he said it would be responsible for him with the deficit that we have now to not be able to take taxes from them for this great, charitable work that basically the outcome -- it's not charity. they are getting paid. but it wasn't easy to come to new york, the epicenter where they are putting this house in harm's way and then when he said today is if the federal government could help us out

with some of our state losses, then maybe i wouldn't have to do this. but sorry because the government won't do it, i have to do this to you. that's wrong. using them as ponds in the skin, terrible behavior. that's disgusting. >> emily: juan, he said specifically if i don't get more money from washington, i can't even fund my schools. today this point, why should we be having people he referred to as heroes pay for his state school? >> juan: first of all, i just want to agree with dana. i think those people were heroic to come and help and put themselves at risk to be in the epicenter. i am very sympathetic to that. but to your point, i think that new york state is losing tremendous tax revenue on so many levels, not only in terms of having to pay for coping with this pandemic, the added expenses. but don't forget, if people out of work can't pay their property

taxes and other taxes, well then, emily, they have a tremendous deficit. i think what we've heard even from republicans who represent new york, like peter king, is that the federal government should not be taking this out on the firefighters and the policemen and people in the state who would suffer if the state can't pay their employees their earnings. so that's not fear. all the other arguments, forget about it. it's just the case that the federal government, which mitch mcconnell later had to retract, should be helping states. it's a national emergency. >> emily: jesse, take us home. to be sick if the chart man can hold the chart back up again like he did and reverse it, that's what governor desantis did in florida. that's exactly what he did in florida. he said all of florida's state resources to the elderly and sick in the nursing homes and

kind of let other counties handle it the way that they saw fit. florida is in great shape and they have a very high elderly population. the thing in new york was you had very low income people in very tight quarters that are touching a lot of handles and doorknobs. they weren't working. they were unemployed. they were going out, maybe not using masks. you don't know if they were practicing hygiene and social distancing. it's hard to practice social distancing and some of these homes in queens in the bronx. you should see, it's tight quarters. so there is a lot of blame to go around there. >> emily: all right, coming coming up next, san francisco trying to slow the spread of covid-19 by handing out drugs and alcohol. we will explain next. 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. protected lifetime income from an annuity can help your
