gregory michael and his 34-year-old son travis, the judge denied their bail request today so they remain in custody. but a lot in question and a lotu then. here comes "the five." ♪ >> juan: hello, everyone. i am juan williams along with dana perino, jesse watters, greg gutfeld and emily compagno. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." president trump out for vengeance after newhouse russia probe transcripts are released. the justice department moves to drop the case against michael flynn. those russia probe transcripts showing top obama officials under oath acknowledging there was no "empirical evidence" of a trump-russia collusion.

moore -- more new develop men's regarding michael flynn. declassified documents show that former president obama new details about flint's wiretapped phone call with the russian investor before meeting with doj officials. president trump sounding off earlier. >> i think most people knew it, really most people in it from the beginning and they knew it was just a total hoax. it was very dangerous situation what they did. these are dirty politicians, and dirty cops and some horrible people. hopefully they're going to pay a big price. someday in the not-too-distant future. adam schiff is a crooked politician, cricket as can be, probably one of the worst i've seen and i've seen some beauties. what you've seen is incredible especially as it relates to president obama because if anyone thinks that he and sleepy joe biden didn't know what was going on, they have another thing coming. they tried to take down the president of the united states, a sitting duly elected president

of the united states before i even won. >> juan: here is a sampling of the media reaction to the flynn news. >> this is a case where the fix was in. >> the fixes in. absolute injustice and now we see bill barr doing donald trump's dirty work. >> i think it's breathtaking dishonesty from the justice department. >> this is the collapse of the justice department. >> so many layers of why it matters then here you have it whitewashed in effect. >> juan: greg, a really busy news day. let me begin with a simple question. a lot of people are asking left and right, given all we know, why did flynn plead guilty on two occasions? >> greg: yeah, it's a question you can post about the central park i guess. flynn had to sell his house to offset nearly 5 million in legal fees and yet

reputation, drained him of his savings, ruin his family, take us home and then they say but he pled guilty. greg, he pled guilty. wouldn't you plead guilty after all of that you tried to stop your livelihood from being destroyed from them trying to destroy your family, your kids? wouldn't you at a certain point say i give up. i am broke. there is nothing more that i can do. it wasn't a secret since 2016 that there were a group of people, never trumpers, democrats, media, however, decided that i need america's decision was corrupt and improper and it allowed them to harass, obsessed, and demonize anyone who might've shook trump 'and hand. it wasn't just about flint. someone who go to rallies. they are all demonized, deplorables and it became persecution for three years. my favorite taken them i will shut up, i love congresswoman ilhan omar who says the verdict,

this is great, the verdict is proof of white privilege. so this guy was nearly destroyed but he wasn't because he was white. i am more interested, i admire her because of her unique privilege. i have three sisters, juan. i never once tried to marry one of them because the other two would feel very rejected. they would be so upset if i try to marry one of my sisters. so i admire. >> emily: ew. >> juan: jesse, based on what the president said today, he thinks a lot of this isn't about fbi misbehavior. if that's the case, then why did he fire flynn and plead out that flynn was a liar? >> jesse: it's not about fbi misbehavior. it's about obama. it's an obama scandal. this goes all the way to the

top, juan. this guys going to go down as probably the most corrupt politician ever and you know why? because winners write history, and donald trump won in 2016. he's probably going to win again and each day he has his guys in there looking around, they are finding more and more evidence that this thing was the most crooked, disgusting thing that's been ever perpetrated on a presidential campaign. they knew what was going on. these counterintelligence investigations are only done for the commander in chief. they are not done for the fbi or the cia. they are done for barack obama or whoever is president of the time. they had to take flynn out because flynn was incoming and he was going to see all the things they had done, the dossier, the wiretapping, the spies, the leeks, but lies. he was going to have access to all of that intelligence and he was going to blow the whistle on

it. they knew they couldn't get him any other way, so we now have evidence that there was an oval office meeting with jim comey and biden was there in barack obama and sally yates said that barack obama knew about the phone call. the phone call between flynn and the ambassador, perfectly legal. flynn said russia, don't hit us back with her and sanctions. that's not unpatriotic. it's patriotic. they used it and they had sally yates saying what obama said. maybe we need to treat flynn differently and then jim comey brings up the logan act which was a b.s. excuse to have this thing. they went in there trying to get the guide ally and he didn't even lie. and you know what they have text to say this from peter strzok and lisa page. the president wants to know what we are doing. he's keeping everybody aware of what we are doing, this goes all the weight of the top. we are going to find out more,

and we have documents coming in tomorrow, next week, that show even worse things. so buckle up, everybody. it's about to get ugly. >> juan: really? so dana, andrew mccabe, former deputy director, he said fbi agents always strategize as they go into interviews. so based on what we've learned, what do you think it is that the fbi did wrong in this case. >> dana: [laughs] so i talked to a good friend today who works as a prosecutor. it was a prosecutor at the justice department. organized with the fbi for the investigation so you can bring the case and he said that when legal scholars look back at the flint prosecution, they will not be able to pin the dismissal onr illegal as well but if they are fair they would recognize a small case played with innumerable flaws. you asked me a question.

i don't even know where to begin to talk about the misconduct but i will mention one that i learned about because of the transcripts that jesse just talked about. that was that sally yates is being cut out. she's the deputy attorney general, being cut out of all the coordination and discussion because jim comey is talking directly to the white house and i have long thought that if the white house or the political appointees of the justice department or anybody within the white house at the time, if they think that they want to have some credibility on this, that they want to come out and start talking. instead what they have done for years is whispered into media and see her that something was big, something was bad. when you see it, you won't believe it. and nothing ever materializes. now you have bill barr turning over all the rocks and what you see underneath is not pretty at all when i think that because the president keep signaling that there might be consequences, i think that that could possibly include legal consequences against people who

were involved because they keep signaling that, so i think we will be talking with this for many days to come. >> juan: emily, the judge in this case still has to sign off on the idea of the department of justice dismissing the case. so what do you think the judge is likely to do given that he's previously said there was no evidence of misconduct by the fbi. >> emily: it would be a huge shock to me even more if he actually didn't sign off on this. i predict he will grant the motion. i have to say what surprises me the most about this entire situation, although frankly it shouldn't surprise me anymore, is the outrage and the horror over mercy. people like senator campbell harris and elizabeth warren who called this the politicization, who called this corrupt. they say that the attorney general is doing the president's bidding. why shouldn't they be the first people to applaud an audit, two

in full force and faith back the identification and routing out of a corrupt tumor within one of our agencies that for some nonsensical reason they and those who support them seem to find 100% pure and infallible. it's not the same logic they apply to police officers so why aren't they applying this to the nation's police officer. i have to say for those who actually genuinely believe were taken late the concept of, he would only plead guilty if he was guilty, that's delusional luxury with 94% of state convictions obtained by a plea bargain. 97% of federal convictions are obtained by plea bargains. i have sat across from the fbi had enough tables and i have been at enough jails and i've been to enough prisons to know what the power, with the behavior of power looks like and what the smell of fear and desperation is like.

frankly, any corrective measure by someone in power to give back freedom should be welcome. >> juan: all right. ahead, arrests finally made in the shooting of an unarmed african-american man out for a jog. the details and president trump's reaction next on "ththththth for nearly 100 years, we've worked to provide you with the financial strength, stability, and online tools you need. and now it's no different. because helping you through this crisis is what we're made for. trust us. us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. don't think so? hold my pouch.

before he was killed. the father and son suspects, gregory and travis mcmichael's, say they thought arbery was connected to recent threats in their neighborhood. video showing arbery running down the truck stopped in the middle of the road and the mcmichaels waiting with guns. travis mcmichael fired his gu gun. eventually the younger mcmichael shot arbery. the president weighing in. >> i saw the tape and it's very, very disturbing. looks like a really good young guy. and it looks very, it's a very disturbing situation. my heart goes out to the parents on the family and their friends. >> dana: emily, let me start with you and i want to play something from phil holloway, former prosecutor and police officer in georgia who was on "the daily briefing" earlier talking about the claim of self-defense in georgia. >> in the state of georgia, you

cannot lawfully claim self-defense if you're the one who starts a fight or if you start an altercation. in this case when we saw the video, to me it looks like the shooter was the one who started the whole altercation. >> dana: emily, there is reports from the first d.a. who recused himself basically saying that there exists a second video. asking the attorney general of georgia today, he doesn't even know if that video actually even exists. i'll have you take it away from here. >> emily: exactly and i think that's part of white is so disturbing. the conclusions that were drawn from watching the video that we have, that we know of now, not a second one, just the one that's been circulating, in february by the d.a. at the time was recusing himself and yet making suggestions and passing along recommendations. that included watching that

video, conclusions of, as your guest explained, the citizen's arrest statute of georgia and also self-defense. at a minimum i think what you can see in that is at a minimum and equitably disturbing situation and at maximum it's hunting a human. to pull those comments that the jogger was the one who started the altercation or he definitely was in furtherance of committing a felony and therefore justifying regular citizens detaining him, we don't see that at all. thankfully now all corrective measures have been taken. but all of that happened in february. >> dana: it's been a long time. juan, tim scott, the senator from south carolina said "everything will time the excuses for him, he looked suspicious. we thought he was committing a crime. the fact remains that ahmaud arbery was hunted down from a pickup truck and murdered in cold blood. my heart breaks for his family and justice must be served."

the attorney general of georgia said they are absolutely going to stay on it and ensure that justice is done. the two men a been arrested and they will be facing the court and have due process of course. your thoughts on this at the moment. >> juan: well, you know, i have to cool my emotions because i think every parent in america can understand and have sympathy for her mother and father whose son goes out for a jog and then ends up dead for no reason. it's an outrage. i think it's particular advocates for black parents. i think you can understand why any parent of a black son has to worry every time the child leaves the house that the child is seen as something of a threat to somebody out there. we wouldn't know, dana, about this. this incident takes place and i

believe february 23rd, 25th, in that range. we are here now in early may and there's finally a charge in the case. but without that video, there would be nothing. in other words, this was being excused, wiped away. you have to have a video. but it reminds me and i think it's why it's so upsetting, it reminds me of everything from trayvon martin tamir rice. i can keep going. you can keep going through the thousands of incidents where there is no video and if there's no video people say well, you know, he was a suspect, or he looked suspicious. no, he was black. that's the problem here. and it's just an outrage. i think every parent, especially black parents, are upset about this. >> dana: let me ask jesse about the delay. one of the things of the attorney general address today was that they are going to investigate the investigators in that county because they are wondering what happened. the video existed from the jump.

>> jesse: yeah and there was maybe a relationship professionally with someone who may be even had investigated this jogger while members of law enforcement -- there's a lot that needs to still be investigated because we've seen cases like this before where new information comes out, new video comes out. i'm just going to wait for the investigation to finish before i really weigh in on it. just to juan's point on the surface of it, if this is really the way a man dies in america, that is no way for a man of any race to die in this country. if you are in a neighborhood and you are suspicious are you here about a break-in or anything, i just don't think it's a good idea to load up the truck with some guys and get some guns and parked in the middle of the street and play officer. you call 911. you give a description or you

know, you say this guy was there and left the police handle it. you are really asking for it if you park in the middle of the street with loaded shotguns and confront anybody that's jogging or anybody in a way that's confrontational. so what if the jogger went for the guys gun. i mean, many people might go for the gun of someone's holding a gun with a car right in front of you like this. i mean, it is very, very combustible situation. if they hadn't gone out and done that, this man would have been alive. >> dana: greg, i will give you a final thought. you probably heard the train. >> greg: i did. it always comes when i'm about to talk. everyone is leaving town. the analysis, the beginning of the story, they are arrested and it should go through all the proper channels.

i think it's important to get everything out there. i am looking at a video and i'm going, there's no evidence he committed a crime that justified shooting him. you could argue, why didn't he grabbed the gun? i don't know p -- people might grab the gun. i see this is a story about potential corruption and cover-up over an obviously idiotic confrontation. i understand that we live in a time where the prism to which we see these stories will always be through race. i think it's an important point to put up what jesse said. of any race. something being treated like this, someone being treated like this is awful. this is a potential cover-up of an idiotic confrontation. the video. i don't know anybody who's looked at that video and not

been unnerved by it, disturbed, sickened by it. so what does that say about america? we don't like it. >> dana: we don't. sickening and hard to watch. as important as well. thanks, everybody. straight ahead, new devastating economic numbers shows why people like the dallas salon owner are so desperate to get back to work. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good? line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said? no you were talking about allstate and insurance. i just... when i... let's try again. everybody back to one. accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today.

reopen their economies in some form. >> we are going into transition and eye color transition to greatness. it's going to be transition to greatness. because were going to do something very fast and were going to have a phenomenal year next year. >> emily: jesse, i wanted to start with you. transition to greatness. there's not a switch to reopening the economy and especially in businesses where capacity is reduced and jobs have been diminished. but how and why should we maintain a favorable, positive outlook on the future? >> jesse: because we're americans and that's what americans do. they are hopeful, they are optimistic, and we always win. it's funny because the president you know historically, he's always i guess in his personal and professional life, you see these big ups and then big dow downs. the rise and in the fall, the rise in the fall. he had the greatest economy ever

announced the worst economy ever. but is donald trump going to come back? yeah, because he always does, in america always comes back and we are going to come back together. what you are seeing now are numbers that you can't even really make sense of. it's kind of like obamacare when you saw these crazy premiums up 150% and then the media would say it's doing great and then you talk to someone that had obamacare and told you how they are deductibles went up astronomically. then you really see it. i don't even know if anybody in the media knows one person that's been laid off because of the pandemic. what you're starting to see is class warfare in america but in reverse. you're seeing the top people kind of shake their fists down at everybody else. you have to stay down. you have to stay in your home,, and you have to do this because i said so. the rest of the countries thing we've got to go to work on their starting to resent it. you can see it's a collision

course and it's coming and i know was going to win. >> emily: juan, two jesse's point about the regional location, if you take it from the state and local standpoint, what's your position on letting the states governors and local city officials have more control over their small business owners requirements so the president obviously has dedicated a lot of the governors including the reopening but what about the ppp and if the state isn't open yet, shouldn't they have more time to payback, et cetera? >> juan: oh, sure. i think that the governors have had that kind of authority all along, emily. i think they still have and i don't think anyone is contesting that the president is simply offering guidelines and i some of the problem here is many of the stake center reopening, i think more than half, don't meet the current phase one guideline. i think everybody, i know from

my heart, i wish the economy could get back to normal right now. to say magically open up right away everybody, it just poses such great risk because if we get back into a situation where we see those numbers start to climb again, then it's not only more people getting sick, but you're also going to see an escalation in terms of unemployment which as you pointed out is now, you know, near great depression numbers and we don't want to see that. i don't the gets a matter of anybody kind of shaking their fists and telling people what to do. i think that even the opinion polls show overwhelmingly most americans, republicans, democrats, independent, think we have to be cautious. we can't be imprudent and say let's just rush out as if everything is suddenly going to be okay. it could look good for the moment and then two weeks from now because that's how long it takes for this disease to take root, we will be back in a worse

situation. we don't want that. >> emily: dana, you have shown such compassion for those who are going hungry and might find themselves in a position where they're unable to ask for help. we have shelley luther who said i just couldn't bring myself to apologize for wanting to go back to work. what are your thoughts on that? >> dana: i do admire her. that saying, not all heroes where capes and i think for people who understand the situation from her point of view, she is definitely a hero. i did think that it was brilliant for senator ted cruz to organize a fly up from houston to go have his hair cut there, and i also admire him for wearing a mask and showing that there are ways that we can get back to work safely or get back to our businesses that we frequent or that we want to visit. i thought that was smart because there is a way, as the president said, this transition back to greatness is going to require us to maybe do something different.

i think our public leaders, if they are willing to get out there and show the way, than other people might follow when we can do this safely and prudently and get people back to work so that they don't have to join a food line. >> emily: greg, what are your thoughts on any of the above? >> greg: i don't know a single person who is saying let's rush out. i don't know a single person who's saying hey, you know, screw caution. i want to open up right away. even if people die. this is such a myth. we tried to resist this on the show but we keep getting pulled back into the prison of two ideas which i am so sick of hearing myself say, but we keep, oh, people are saying open up. other people are saying shut down. no, everybody has been saying the same thing. the solution is in between those two poles. that's all we've been talking about. if we admit that, then we lose the dramatic nature of saying oh, but people will die.

people will die. it's like, no one is saying we are going to magically open. we are talking about phase three openings. we are talking or protecting the vulnerable. we are talking about making changes that can be reversed. if and when the disease comes back. everyone, adults are weighing the benefits and risks every time they open their mouths. there is nobody, nobody that's saying it's reckless. by the way, 66%, let's go back to that number that cuomo was talking about. 66% of new patients were indoors and isolating meaning that they were staying in. so we have to start thinking about what's happening there. is that the secret sauce? shared ventilation which you seen cruise ships, you see it in office buildings, you see it in rest homes. you're seeing it in the airplane spirit is shared ventilation in the issue here ventilation -- is shared ventilation and parks?

i think you're going to see correlations between low vitamin d levels and disease, natural vitamin d levels and i remember early in on this pandemic when people work talk about the science of weather and the science and sunshine people mocking it. you're going to find out the minute it wasn't right to mock that that being outside is going to be part of the solution. >> emily: all right, up next, no more hiding for joe biden. why the 2020 democrat is going to have to come out of his basement. i jujujujuju we love the new apartment. the natural light is amazing. hardwood floors. there is a bit of a clogging problem.

>> yes, 100%. i would love to see him get out of the basement so he can speak. he's locked in a basement somewhere. every time he talks, it's like a good thing. >> jesse: all right, let's go around. juan, when do you think biden is going to come out of the basement? >> juan: i don't know, jesse, but i think the president is pretty clear there. he thinks biden is a gaffe machine and maybe he thinks he can get biden out of the basement, biden will start riffing about bleach and stuff like that. the other point i would make is it's still a reminder that it's hard to get testing. it's not easily available. i think it's not about altruism. i think that the president see some political advantage here. >> jesse: okay. dana, do you think the vice president, of the united states, former, doesn't have access to a test? >> dana: pretty sure if you wanted to get a test, but he

could get a test. he could ask the nba. the nba could help them out. if you want to get a test, you can get a test. pretty good week for president trump. the polls last week, maybe biden has been in his basement kind of working out okay for him. but this week as other news started to get in, the president traveled to arizona. you don't have the two hour-long briefings every night. i think you can see a trajectory that's on the upswing for president trump. the other thing i would mention it as it's not often where republicans are really in a much better position than democrats on digital's tragedy. but this week when joe biden tried to do some virtual town halls, it's it was like take all the gaps and put them in one. it was like the glitches were terrible. i feel for them. i don't know how i'll start going to get out of there and campaign but it was not well done. >> jesse: greg gutfeld. >> greg: i wonder if biden is going to use the pie t -- pandec

as a reason to say that he can't to be in the room to debate trump. i wonder if he's going to use this as an excuse to get out of the debate. i also have another theory. i think tara reade, the tara reade stories designed by clever democrats to get biden out of the race. stay theory. you know what, i have not met a single biden supporter, an actual one and i don't mean someone who is going to vote for biden. i mean -- a lot of people are going to vote for biden. i have yet to meet a biden supporter. the people voting for biden say they believe tara reade. that's not a supporter. that's a voter. >> jesse: that's a good point. emily. >> emily: i think the imagery of biden being relegated to the basement just invokes this frail, infirm creature even more than he was going into the pandemic. arguably trump has the advantage for the last few months he's been leaving the country out of

a crisis while biden has in the basement. he needs something that's going to change the dynamic of the race, and i don't see anything like that happening soon, especially when the only attention he's been getting lately is these credible allegations. >> jesse: is like when he said mini mike needed a box to stand on. now when you think of biden, you think of the basement. your mission:
