wearing a mask, it could be bedlam. that's the new policy. adding to the confusion. these are interesting times, my friends. ♪ >> jesse: hello, everybody. i am jesse watters with dana perino, greg gutfeld, juan williams, and katie pavlich. it's 5:00 in new york city, this is "the five." it looks like the obamagate scandal is about to get a lot bigger. acting national intelligence director ric grenell has declassified information about the obama administration officials responsible for unmasking michael flynn. a source familiar with the intel saying that those yet to be released names on the list will make waves. the doj is reviewing the documents ahead of a possible

release. remember, leaking unmasked information or using it for political gain is illegal. barack obama and joe biden facing renewed scrutiny over a key oval office meeting back in january 2017 where the flynn investigation came up. biden is flip-flopping on what he knew. >> i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. i thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do with him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that they had asked for investigation, but that's all i know about it. >> jesse: biden also claiming that the doj dropping the flynn case is just all a part of a big distraction. >> this is all about diversion. thithis is again this guy playsl the time. the country is in crisis, economic, health crisis. we are in real trouble. he continues to act irresponsibly. he hasn't done his job. it is all about diverting attention from the horrible way

in which he's acted. we don't have coronavirus because of him, but we have the devastating impact of it because of his lack of a policy, lack of action. >> jesse: all right, well, we obviously want to monitor the calls of high-ranking russian officials, but the reason they're not identifying the americans is to protect their privacy. if someone in the obama administration asks permission to find out the name of that american citizen, they better have a very good reason. person that asks, if they are connected to the president or vice president, that's a pretty big deal, don't you think? >> dana: well, i think this story is a big deal. i think the issue is a big deal and we are seeing it play out. i think a couple things.

supposedly it was predicated on a counterintelligence investigation. i think it would almost be worse if you had a rogue justice department and fbi not telling the president of the united states, the vice president, what they were up to. that would be super bad. you would see that in a movie. i don't think it would be unusual to president obama would be informed and briefed about a counterintelligence investigation even if it involves the incoming administration. i think it would be a huge scandal if it was not. now that said, for the people who are asked to have flynn's name unmasked or got the unmasking, found out flynn's name and found out whoever leaked that, that's obviously a very bad thing. all of these people that work for president obama in that world, that you're going to see a couple things, jesse. one, they're going to want to talk about this. if the dni is declassified in their name, is it also fair then

that he should declassify the information and basically let it all out so they can defend themselves. because as i would feel about it, if you had a top-secret clearance and you are part of this and then your name gets out there but you're still under the clearance rules so you can't talk about it and defend yourself, that doesn't seem exactly right. i don't know where that part is going. the second thing i think will happen is we're going to see all of these people lawyer up very quickly and probably with pro bono lawyers, as you saw before with mccabe and peter strzok. i think that will happen. if they are not allowed to talk about it, they will lawyer up and then it will go very quiet. >> jesse: may be the unmasking is not as bad as the leaking of the classified conversation, then the leaking of the name is a crime.

that's probably worse than just requesting the identity. >> juan: leaks are not good as you're trying to maintain national security, jesse. i don't think anyone's going to argue that. the question here is about the behavior of michael flynn. you can't say president obama told him to call kislyak, the russian ambassador, and discuss the sanctions regime for russian interference. i don't think anyone wants to make that case. i don't think that's obama. i don't think it's biden. no one is saying he's the one that told flynn go ahead and act as a lobbyist for turkey but don't register as a lobbyist. nobody is saying all that was done by stone, manafort, that was all made up by the obama administration. i think this is all a waste of government energy, resources, and time when we should be focused on the coronavirus and trying to get this economy back in order. ric grenell used to -- we know

him -- >> jesse: this is a waste of time, not the three years of a witch hunt. this is? >> juan: i think ric grenell is acting in a political fashion, going after what we know. >> jesse: grenell is political but the obama intelligence officials were not political but grenell is political? is that what you are saying? >> juan: i am thinking that right now we have russia, china, and others seeking to interfere again. that's where our energies should be, not in some political diversionary tactic to benefit president trump. >> jesse: okay. and very diversionary. just trying to correct injustice. katie, how do you see this playing out? biden saying i don't know anything. that doesn't really sound like someone that was really in charge. >> katie: ride, and he was in the oval office when president obama informs sally yates that the fbi had been listening in on phone calls that michael flynn had been to

the russian ambassador. for him to say he doesn't know anything doesn't really stick with the facts here on the situation. but dana made a good point that the president of the united states would of course be involved and informed of a counterintelligence investigation especially if it was someone who was on a campaign in the political sense. the argument up to this point has been that the president wasn't involved, he didn't know anything. he didn't reach the highest levels of the obama administration. now we know at least that president obama knew about it. he was giving information to people of the justice department at the time and details about it to them that they didn't have before. it seems like he was pretty involved. and then you couple that with the obama administration history and actions, abusing the power of the federal government whether it was the irs going after tea party groups for political reasons or the department of justice going after gun dealerships by punishing their banks or whether it was going after reporters who

were talking to sources that obama wanted to put behind bars for talking and leaking information. so all that information leads to more questions. people want accountability for this. there has been a wrong here they want to know which public officials that they were paying were unfairly and illegally leaking information and names to the media on a citizen who had done nothing wrong. >> jesse: all right, greg. last word. >> greg: first of all, to biden, he is in a bind because either he knew which is a problem or either he didn't, which is a problem. i think he didn't know. i can't believe anybody would come to him for advice. the guy was more out of the loop than a drunken figure skater. he was just a nice guy that you had in the room who shook hands and worthy aviator glasses. as for this being a waste of government time and we should be focusing on the wuhan virus, i said that three months ago.

i said that four months ago in january when i was screaming about the wuhan virus. everybody was intent to watch the impeachment hearings. nobody can lecture anybody on that. it's a load of crap. i am curious where the idiots who drooled over every russian name in the phonebook, why isn't rachel maddow leading her show with the scandal behind the scandal? if this is a joke, if this is meaningless, how about your three and a half your delusional fantasy that went on based solely on somebody knowing somebody? you have thoughts but no proof so you inflated your thoughts into proof and now you find out it's worse than you thought because it involves obama, your side. so now it scares you. this leak leads to something i've always wanted to talk about will but we could never talk about it because it was too gross. the steele dossier which is behind all of it. we could never talk about it

because the media used it as a shield. they could talk about on late-night shows that we could never really good into it because the content of the dossier was sufficiently lurid. the media could use it at will and we really couldn't touch it. let's be clear how the russians really praying to us because the steele dossier was a cartoon version of what you think would enrage obama loyalists. you had a russian saying what if we tell them that we have hooker defile the bed obama slept in front of mr. trump. that's what we tell them. how absurd? all that's missing is boris and natasha and perhaps were spewed in. yet our media, a bunch of tools, got suckered by this garbage.

the panoply of politicians who chase this. the steele dossier was a conduit for this nonsense. this hilarious punch line of the last four years is that a porno fantasy suckered all of our bright minds in the media and the sharp dressers in d.c. >> katie: there are no sharp dressers in d.c. >> greg: good point. >> jesse: i like the russian accent. >> greg: my wife is going to kill me. >> jesse: democrats looking to politicize the pandemic after top health officials testify before the senate and we will show you that next. they're our neighbors, and our friends. but now, they are forever our heroes, too. and while they're working to keep us safe, prudential is proud to provide over one million health care workers with benefits that help bring peace of mind in times like these.

♪ >> dana: the nation's top health officials testifying remotely today before the senate on reopening the economy. dr. anthony fauci issuing a warning about states restarting their economies too soon. >> some areas, cities, states, what have you, jump over those various checkpoints and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently, my concern is that we will start to see little spikes that might turn into outbreaks. >> dana: and there was this contentious moment between senator rand paul and dr. fauci. take a look. >> i think we ought to have a little bit of humility and our belief that we know it's best for the economy, and as much as i respect you, dr. fauci, i don't think you are the end-all, i don't think of the one person who gets to make the decision.

>> i've never made myself out to be the end-all. i am a scientist, physician, public health official. i give advice according to the best scientific evidence. there are number of other people who come into that and give advice that are more related to the things that you spoke about. the need to get the country back open again economically. i don't give advice about economic things. i don't give advice about anything other than public health. >> dana: greg, what did you take away from this hearing today? >> greg: if you are pointing fingers, there is an entrance fee. you have to say how would you have done this differently? but you cannot use 20/20 hindsight. we do know that trump relied on experts, and experts were wrong on masks, tests, ventilators, and especially the experts that were informing cuomo, rest homes. so if you believe that you would've done better, if you

knew something, why did you hold out on us? all you smarty-pants people in the media, why did you have this inside info on finding a virus and held it back for us? it's amazing how accurate pundits and politicians are when they're looking backwards. the standard for testing. tell us exactly wha what the standard for testing is considering experts don't know what it is because they haven't dealt with it before. you can't tell what a good job is when it's the first job. we know it could always be better. we don't know how. do not trust the media on this but do not fall people, whether it is fauci, whether it's trump, even whether it is cuomo who give advice or take a risk and turn out to be wrong. everybody's going to be wrong on this. no matter what.

>> dana: jesse, one thing i noticed today in the hearing as the democrats were frustrated at the government, at the trump administration in particular. their solutions seemed to be that we need more government. >> jesse: [laughs] yeah. because government has done so well over the last so many years. to greg's point about the democrats strategy, it's a great point because we still don't know what the democrats strategy is because all they say is trump is either doing things too slowly or he's doing things too quickly. so all it is is just a complai complaint. general petraeus had the surge strategy. trump had the terror of strategy with china. i watch this entire hearing and it's frustrating because they have set this trap with tests. we would have gotten the test sooner if china hadn't destroyed the virus samples in the lab, if

they had shared it with the rest of the world, we could have gotten the test a lot quicker. but now here's what they are doing. now that we've tested more people than all the other countries in the world combined, they say okay, the testing rate isn't good enough. permission to make a sports analogy, dana. this is like when a quarterback goes 9 for 10 for 100 yards. of the opposing quarterback goes 39 for 50 for 400 yards. the democrats think the quarterback that went 9 for 10 is better because he had a better completion percentage. no, anybody with a brain will take the quarterback that had 39 completions for 400 yards. don't fall into that trap. i do agree testing needs to get better. i was disappointed with the cdc director, this guy, redfield. i don't get a good feeling about him. they have the last contamination early. he doesn't inspire confidence. he is a poor communicator. he is not clear. he doesn't look charged up.

something about this guy i don't like. i can't put my finger on it. but the fact that he hasn't been out in front center this whole thing from the beginning as the cdc director tells you a lot. >> dana: but he has been. the white house's been having him do a lot of talk radio all across the nation. they think he's been great. i take your point. it wasn't easy to hear everybody during the remote. the dog that was barking and also lamar alexander's cute dog that was sitting behind him. what did you take away from the hearing? >> juan: dogs. i find it entertaining because i think it's very real. you get the sense that these are human beings. we see them in their official setting of a senate hearing and you think it's just some guy in a suit. in response to what jesse was saying, i was taken by the idea that you had republicans like lamar alexander and mitt romney saying hey, the testing has just not been sufficient and nothing to celebrate. especially if we are looking

towards reopening schools in the fall. we don't have that in place. fauci was very clear. we don't have any kind of regiment or testing or any kind of way that we can assure the chance at the university of tennessee for example i think that's what they were talking about, with senator alexander, that you can open school in the fall. right now it just doesn't seem that that's a reasonable goal to have. the other thing i would say in terms of what fauci said, again, i don't think this is republican or democrat. i think fauci just said with the potential for spikes across our country, not just in big cities, there is just too potential for death and more suffering and more people getting sick. it was very clear to me that he was trying to not politicize it, not to get into a back-and-forth with rand paul, but to say that he was speaking as a scientist and the people should listen. >> dana: katie, on the school thing, the chairman did go back

to fauci and say let's clarify and fauci said different solutions for different places. he also said something to go might take help from and that's when pressed by senator romney, do you really think it's realistic to get a vaccine within a year or two, fauci said absolutely that's possible. >> i thought what rand paul said about keeping kids out of school for a year, the consequences that especially if they are lower income kids, there would be severe consequences for that. also dr. fauci said with a the vast majority of who get -- people who get this disease recover and i think there needs to be more focus on the recovery numbers in addition to new cases in the continuation of the flattening of the curve. in the end, they're going to be consequences on both sides of this no matter what decision they make. keep it locked down there will be severe consequences. so many different sectors. if you open it back up, yes, there will be more cases but the deal was never to have zero cases. the deal was to get the hospitals ready to deal with it. >> dana: there is no perfect

decision to be made. indeed. thanks, everybody. we have a media firestorm erupting after president trump's interaction with a reporter yesterday. open road and telling peoplete that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need!

♪ 's >> greg: yesterday at the end of trump's press or a reporr offered a churlish opinion discusses the question and trump responded in his usual way. >> wises the global competition to you if everyday americans are still losing their lives and we are still seeing more cases every day? >> well, they are losing their lives everywhere the world maybe that's a question you should ask china. don't ask me. ask china that question, okay. when you ask them that question you may get a very unusual

answer. behind you please. >> reporter: why are you saying that to me specifically? >> i'm telling you. i'm not saying it specifically to anyone. i am saying it to anyone who would ask a nasty question. >> that's not a nasty question. >> greg: how did the media see it? >> it's racist to look at an asian-american white house correspondent say "ask china." this isn't happening in a vacuum. as part of a pattern of behavior from the president. he doesn't have the benefit of the doubt that someone might have if for the first time ever in their life they made a comment like that to a reporter. he also has this pattern of reacting to minority journalists in a very specific way. >> greg: oddly, stelter is right. there is a pattern of behavior. but it makes his argument hideously laughable. here's the pattern of behavior use sputtering chuckle head. >> there is nobody ever been

tougher on china than me. our relationship with china it was good until they did this. all i can say is wherever it came from, it came from china, they didn't report what was happening inside china. i'm not happy with china. they didn't want us to close our borders to china. the only leader of a country that closed our borders tightly against china. we are talking to china. we've expressed how we felt. we are not happy about it. >> greg: not happy. it's amazing we have to do a montage of trump mentioning china over and over to anyone. but the media's like a stupid child. you've got to walk them through stuff they try to forget every single day. the fact is trump has been calling out china more often than brian calls out for chinese. and trump was doing it when every moron with a microphone was obsessed with russia. it was an outfit that watches and waits for biases to be confirmed. do you want to know how it works?

here is an analogy. bob swears at everyone and then he swears that someone who's not white and cnn says bob is raci racist. they ignore color-blind behavi behavior. the broken media, the crumbling psychicallpsyche prompting to ss they wish they were there, never ending profit model of bitterness. it relies solely on mind-reading. when trump says china, they can tell it's racist. yet there's no evidence they just know. because i hope it is. but this isn't just about trump. calling him racist is a medias gateway drug to calling you the same thing. right, joy? >> he is a racist. he throws read made to his base on a regular basis and anybody who still supports this guy needs look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are racist also. that's all i have to say. i have had enough of him. >> greg: the feeling is

mutual, you bag of lawn clippings. jesse, i believe trump says china more than he says wall. he will be walking down the street and if you trip, he will go, that's china! it doesn't matter. >> jesse: close. listen, this morning, the president accused an anchor on television of murdering an intern. okay? that was pretty bad. and this is a white male anchor that he accused of murdering an intern. i mean, come on. we do this all the time. last month the president said you're talking to a black reporter, you people, you people and they said that was racist. and then we ran clips of him saying you people to reporters every day of the week for the last three years.

so this is what they do. if they find a way to play the race card and make the story about themselves. this is a twofer. they love it. no one thought it was racist until this woman said this. >> greg: trump never mention her race but brian stelter immediately noticed it. isn't either racist here? >> katie: he is the one who seems to be hyper focused on who that woman was and may be what nationality she has which is american, by the way. reporting 101 is not to make yourself the story. this woman continues to make herself the story. it's really amazing to me to continue to watch the so-called most prestigious press corps in the world act this way when there are journalists in places like china where the communist party exists who get disappeared when they dare tell the truth about where this virus came from, the fact that china lied about it and covered it up in it

you have journalists in america continuing to ignore the basic facts that this is something that china did to the rest of the world when they are supposed to be focused on facts, apples and oranges, apples and bananas and all the things they they like to say while continuing to cover for the fact that china did this. it's a basic fact they should be focused on. >> greg: that is a good point, juan. could this outrage just be a media distraction to take away from the bumbling of their coverage of the wuhan virus? >> juan: i don't know about that one. >> greg: i used your logic from the previous -- the distraction. >> juan: i appreciate you. i know that you're trying to always imitate me but you've got to give it a break. i think there's no way to agree with you on the initial point, to know what was in his mind, if he was doing that for whatever reason. i don't know. what i do know and i can tell

you is there have been black reporters, i know that talking to april ryan, a black woman reporter at the white house and he says why don't you set up a meeting with congressional black caucus. she took offense. she's a reporter. she's not a government official. or he says to black women reporters, your dome or you're nasty. these people take offense. i don't think there's any question about it. they do feel that it's somewhat racial. so it's not playing a card. to think people are genuinely offended. i know when he was talking about the american judge who had a case involving him, he said the guy couldn't be serious because he had mexican parents. i know people thought that was racist. there's a lot going on. i hope people can be honest and not necessarily play any card but at least have an honest discussion. something is going on here. >> greg: we are having an honest discussion. you are right. you can't read his mind. the fact -- he calls everybody

nasty. dana. we know this. he calls everybody nasty. >> juan: women. >> greg: and men. he treated rand paul pretty bad. is your amnesia that bad that you forget the debates and what he did to everybody during the debates? the nicknames. he was ruthless. we've got to move. dana, last word to you. do you find that her question -- i felt her question was deliberately designed to create some attention and not to gain knowledge. >> dana: well, welcome to the white house press briefing. that's been true for a long time. the question about testing has come up over and over again. i will say that as soon as i heard him say it, i was like she might take offense or it might gain some steam and even if he didn't mean it that way it's how it comes across. perception is a lot of it. the briefing was really good yesterday about testing.

we got a lot of information out there and i think the white house wants more of these briefings. if the 18th question on testing is going to push everybody over the edge, may be asked 15 questions on testing next time. >> greg: there you go. next, little joe biden ever come out of hiding? the former vp explains his basement campaign next.
