>> clearly they had their differences. flynn spoke his mind, he had a career in the military. he was a legend. rob: if obama was trying to take down this administration and do damage to the incoming administration why would he warn him about donald trump and give him a heads up? >> that is a flimsy defense. i think they thought they had plenty of cover. and we are finding out about a lot of this stuff now. i don't think -- they thought none of this would ever come out. honestly all of this is in the classified realm, most of this never comes to light. never sees the light of day.

jillian: devon nunez has been fighting for this information for a while, take a listen. >> what on earth were these officials doing? they were unmasking anyone and everyone to make information, to take that illegal information to build a fake phony narratives to set up numerous people in the trump team. jillian: we have heard since the names release the people on this list had the legal right to now but a lot of people questioning the capacity of the leak itself. how important is it that we find out who actually leaked this information from the beginning? >> i think it is quickly important. we need deterrence. usually in this realm you don't

know about these things we need deterrence so it doesn't happen again, same thing on the fbi side of it. i don't think you will see many prosecutions so we need to set some precedents, expose it, make sure it never happens again. i don't think we will see criminal prosecutions in violation of constitutional rights and people out there have been aggrieved and associations may take this up. >> what happened to michelson? the judge doesn't want to let this go. >> i think he will get a new trial, that is the best case scenario for everybody. let him go to trial. i don't think the government can prove their case. is would be highly embarrassing and if he grants a new trial william barr has discretion to dismiss more so than he has now.

amendment. our message to everyone is pastors get your church is going, religious leaders, let's step up and roar, why could starbucks be open and mcdonald's be open, i hadn't even shutdown by the health department in my church but everybody else is open and the church has to close, why is that reasonable or logical. rob: a number of states suing to reopen suing their own states including yours and kentucky, there is the map right there. your guidelines in kentucky for this sunday as you open up, you're trying to do it responsibly, reduce occupancy to match the local guidelines, practice social distancing by placing family succeed up right, dismiss attendees i'll buy i'll so they don't get too close, all staff wearing masks and gloves, increasing sanitation and if walmart can be open and i can do this responsibly there is no reason you shouldn't be allowed to do this, right?

we had shutdown for measles, chickenpox, tb cases, very susceptible to the community, the president made the right move when he invoked title 42 in suspended immigration because of the spread of covid-19. since he suspended illegal immigration, 100% our online protecting our border, for those that want entry legally that may have covid-19 or who may come for medical treatment what is happening in mexico now we have seen, the president made a great move, we had to be vigilant. >> we are talking about total border crossings near san diego. take a look at the m from april 20 sixth through may 9th where in a lot of areas people are seeing the curve flatten, this is gone up a little bit. what do you make of those

numbers, can you hear us? looks like tom is frozen are fell away, not sure. we will see if we can get him back but in the meantime this is something you can't deny numbers when you see numbers like that and number starting to come down a lot of areas that have been hard-hit in this country and then you see numbers like that go up in this area of california. rob: definitely interesting. we will get back to tom. we all go to carly and talk about some more interesting stories here. the mainstream media downplaying the release of the list of obama officials requested to unmask michael flynn. >> they believe this shows a plot to bring down donald trump's incoming administration. what they don't show is any of that. >> the trump administration tried to exact revenge on enemies. >> my take on this is this is a 100% contrived scandal.

>> carley shimkus with serious xm 115 with online reaction. carley: to be clear this list of obama officials who requested the unmasking of michael flynn leads is one step closer to finding out who leaked his name to the press which is a crime but you probably wouldn't know a lot about this story if you weren't watching fox news because much of the media downplayed or ignored the story altogether. abc news, no coverage, cbs evening news 50 seconds, cnn no coverage, nbc nightly news no coverage and msnbc one minute and 15 seconds, all of this in contrast to the relentless coverage of special counsel robert mueller's probe, cnn devoting a quarter of their coverage on that story from 2016-2019. conservatives took note of this on social media yesterday, one twitter user says why does this

which planet he was on. critical tweets from trump supporters that i am sure the biden campaign feels quite differently about that. >> i didn't know that was call the 404 page. >> i'm filled with useless knowledge. >> the boy scouts, this is a tough one, the boy scouts band from planting american flags on veterans graves, special thing they do every year, because of this virus. >> that is right. that is what is happening and there's a lot of pushback in this, they have banned boy scouts and other groups from putting flags on the graves of fallen heroes on memorial day because of the pandemic but there's a lot of pushback, people say it should be a local decision, cemeteries across the country making that determination based on the number of cases in their area. look at this reaction, both sides make a compelling

argument, matt says ironic that those that die in service to the country are denied the respect so deserved by the government they protect, i will be doing a memorial service and will broadcast it via video. the least i can do. this twitter user says no one needs to endanger kids or families. our veterans understand this. sandy says it is outside the we go every year and people are spread out, following social distancing, allow the flag placement, my favorite day of the year for my son's troop. this is a very therapeutic thing for a lot of people on memorial day. jillian: it is outside, you can socially distance. >> overly cautious. in the next hour of "fox and friends first" top prosecutor in the lone star state warning against government overreach in the fight against covid-19.

"fox and friends first" continues right now. >> a rather interesting story. >> we get to that in a little bit. you areat
