my world. [♪] judge jeanine: hello and welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. thanks for being with us tonight. it's time for the emotional bullying to stop. the bullies on the left want you to think you don't value every life because you know it's time to re-open the economy. their is a guilt-laced political argument with anyone technology right whatsoever. -- with no integrity whatsoever. don't tell me if i want to get off unemployment to go back to work to care for me and my

family that i don't care about people's lives. lockdowns have a shelf life based on the medical necessity of who is at risk. we did egg you told us. shell -- we did everything you told us, socially distances, washed our hands. and like children we wait quietly and patiently to go outside and resume our lives. we suffer at home from depression, alcohol i am -- alcoholism, drug abuse, child abuse. the inability to get elective surgery while with wrighting in pain. if we miss our chemotherapy,

has the cancer spread in the interest rum? yes we have been good children. we should do this until we flatten the curve and are sure we can hospitalize every one. but the naval shipsr were mostly empty. but the curve was planted, the hospitals are empty and the goalpost now is all about the vaccine. power hungry governors like gretchen whitmer in michigan say stay in side in all counties when we only six counties have a problem. you can buy weed and alcohol, but don't you dare buy plant

seed. what where is the science in that. you can go to walmart and target to buy ice cream, eye glasses and fabric. but you cannot buy the same eye glasses from our local eye glass store or ice cream from a local ice cream store or fabric from your local fabric center. what am i missing here? the big businesses, walmart, home depot, target survive. the little guy, the small business owner not allowed to open? is this about destroying the middle class? is this a socialist dream where there is no work left so we have to keep relying on the government? in places of worship are singled out as parishioners meet in parking lots on easter sunday to listen to church services over a

car radio and are targeted for covid regulations. kentucky governor beshear's and on churches. and in louisiana the governor band more than a minimal number. a neglecta church pastor who was arrested for holding religious services in a packed church was granted a reprieve by governor desantis of florida who said church is essential. it's not about science. this is now about the left and the right digging in. the left wants to make sure we are sheltered in place as long as possible. like los angeles for at least

another three months. the states run by republic cab governors like florida and georgia are pretty much open for business. when they go against the left dictates they are accused of engage in human sacrifice and not listening to science. yet theirs is a testament to protecting the vulnerable and opening the economy of their state. the wisconsin governor evers had to be stopped by the state supreme court for mandating the stay-at-home order. as for new york, andrew cuomo requires we stay inside and shelter in place and 66% of new yorkers with the virus were just that, sheltered in place as they were told to do. the same governor mandated covid

infected patients go back into nursing homes and long term facilities that ultimately killed 1,700. dr. desantis protected his seniors and opened his state. the totalitarian impulse on the part of the left is very strong. it is truly stupid to let criminals convicted of crimes out of jail and lock up a hairdresser because she wants to make a living. the democrats see a silver lining in this and still fear, stop this country at all costs and shout it down. the story, donald trump's signature piece of the four years of the economy. those who say it's too dangerous to vote at a polling place say write-in ballots are necessary. nancy pelosi put it in her $3

trillion stimulus. write-in ballots are keyed up for corruption and ballot harvesting. take a look at this picture. if people can go to home depot and distance six feet why can't they go to the voting booth and distance six feet. a science that's been more wrong than right, and the guilt-laden accusation that we don't care about the lives others are trying to turn us into a socialist country. top offering unending unemployment, stop religious discrimination. we got this. and we got our families. we know who is at risk. we are in charge of ourselves. you weigh the risks against the

political, emotional and social and economic costs of a lockdown. start worry being yourself. that's my open. you can buy a bottle of liquor at a liquor store. the heroes act, it sounds beautiful. you start discovering some of the garbage they put it in, he state in the country has mail-in voting. the democrats are trying to milk this for everything they can and it's sad.

my father the commander-in-chief has to weigh the safety of the public versus our economy. and opening up america. we are the economic powerhouse of the entire world, jeanine. he has to weigh that. america does have to get whack to work and americans want to get back to work. you can't have he business disappearing. you can't have the big businesses, the fortune 500 companies survive while the mom and pops go out of business. you absolutely nailed it. it's ridiculous what they are trying to do and it's going to be stopped. judge jeanine: what are the consequences? politically when you look at your father and look at the campaign and the election is how many months away. the more the lockdown continues the more difficult it is. joe biden is staying in his basement and your father is

champing to get out. and nobody can go out in new york city and los angeles. how will that impact the election? >> the election is 176 days away. biden loves it. biden can't go out on stage without making a horrible blunder. they think they are taking away donald trump's greatest tool which is going into an arena and filling it with 50,000 people every single time. they will milk it of every single day between now and moved 3. after november 3 coronavirus will disappear and everybody can re-open. they are trying to deprive him of his greatest asset which is the fact that the american people love him. he's relatable. and he can go out there and draw mass idea crowds. joe biden can't get 10 people in

a room and my father is getting 50,000. this is a cognizant strategy they are trying to deploy. it's now different than the mail-in voting they want to do, no different than wanting illegal immigrants to vote in our country. it's a cognizant strategy and it's sad and we are going to win in november. judge jeanine: when you say a cognizant strategy. for a while it was about the signs and non-believers. but it's right count middle in terms of left and right. when you have ships going back because we don't have enough patients to put in them. and nancy pelosi in this $3.3 trillion stimulus, her latest bill, is for mail-in voting. they don't want people to go to election polling places.

there is a picture of people in line stat walmart. you can do the same thing to vote. it is -- it's -- it's a fear that's being instilled. are people buying it though? >> the media is running with it. look at the white house press conference. they are criticizing everybody. why isn't everybody wearing masks? the press conference ends, they continue to roll the clip and all the reporters are ripping off their masks in the room and going up and speaking to each other. they are actually stoking fear in this country. they are doing a disservice and being disingenuous. they are trying to hurt trump. they tried it with the impeachment sandal and the russian scandal. they snow joe biden doesn't

stand a chance. they are trying to do anything they to be stop him. they will stop in-person voting. shell try to insert things under the cloak of darkness. that's what these people do. the media which is effectively a propaganda arm for the democrats. they will continue this narrative. it's incredible. but the great thing about it, americans see through it, and they are not going to let it happen. judge jeanine: all right, eric trump. thanks so much for being with us. corey lewandowski is standing by. but next you can't miss my second open and my take on the judge in the michael flynn case. president trump wants key members of president obama and his administration brought before congress. will it happen? i will talk about that with

senator lindsey graham. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free.

department of justice request to drop charges against michael flynn. this is all theater. there are two parties in every criminal case. the government and the defendant. here the united states and michael flynn. criminal prosecutions are no longer conducted in the village square where everyone holding their pitchforks gets involved and delivers justice usually from the closest tree. judge sullivan you have been a judge for 30 years and you need another judge to co-pilot your way through the simple decision where you collect box on a file and allow for dismissal of the charges. especially where neither the defendant nor the government disagree? this is difficult for you? it's done all the time. don't you have law clerks to help you make decisions? why don't you just at this point

conduct a political poll. you were obliged to rule on the case before you. the attorney general said the department does not wish to go forward. he wants to right a wrong. the department of justice said there is no basis to go after michael flynn. there was no evidence that would support an investigation. now we know the corrupt fbi agent peter strzok started a new case without a predicate crime. on the fourth day in the white house cardinal comby called to say he was sending an fbi agent. comey admits he did so in violation of white house protocol and policy. we know from notes released that flynn was a target for the prosecution of a crime. the fbi agent who whom flynn

spoke didn't think he lied. the 302 notes of the interview were heavily edited by strzok and his lover lisa panel. and amazingly the 302 notes are now missing. the decision to dismiss pending charges lies squarely with the prosecutor. the executive branch. the prosecutor has exclusive authority and absolute discretion to decide whether to prosecute a case. by the way, judge. your comrade justice ruth bader ginsburg wrote for a unanimous supreme court berated the 9th circuit for bringing in outside counsel to brief on a case not before them. bringing in another judge to argue against the government and

michael flynn. sullivan wants to charge flynn with person are you or lying for pleading guilty. really? should we comarnl every defendant -- should we charge every defendant who pleads not guilty of person are you when they are convicted and found guilty? consider this. what about a defendant who pleads guilty because his lawyers pressure him as was clearly con in this case, telling flynn if he doesn't plead his son will be prosecuted. what about the defendant who pleads because he gets a lesser sentence if he goes to trial and he doesn't want to risk being found guilty. consider where there is new dna evidence, exculpatory evidence

where the prosecutor has hidden brady materials. should all of these defendants be charged with perjury when ex exculpatory evidence comes forward? in emmitt sullivan's world there is no review. what's done is done. damn the evidence and damn the innocent. judge, how are you going to prosecute flynn? will you walk into the executive branch and pick a prosecutor to your liking? or will you relationship your robe off to argue the d.a.'s case? have you not heard of the separation of powers? when you ask what additional charges can be filed against a three-star general railroaded by the corrupt obama fbi and -- oj.

you asked if he could be considered for treason when he was only facing five years? you told general flynn quote you sold out your country when the fbi files make sheer he had done nothing derogatory. where are you getting that information from? who are you talking to? how can you go outside the file in front of you. have you having conversations with strzok and his team without the defense's knowledge? continuing the criminal charges lies squarely with the prosecution. now you are forced to act as required by law. the government and flynn's right is clear and indisputable. judge, why are you dug in on a blatantly political prosecution.

you have proven your agenda is not justice. it's the poisoning of the electorate and violating fund amountal pillars of our criminal justice system. underneath our robe is the hardened political operative, willing to ignore the law to punish a man wrongly framed and targeted by the obama administration. god help us. that's my second open. let me know what you think on facebook page and twitter hashtag judge jeanine. joining me to discuss all this and more, senate judiciary chairman, lindsey graham. how do you feel about judge sullivan and what he's doing. where is the criminal defense

attorneys of america? why aren't they coming to general flynn's aid. i never knew in my career entertaining punishing a defendant when the government wants to dismiss the case. this is what judge sullivan is contemplating. punishing flynn when the government wants to drop the channels. there is no place in america for vindictive justice. i hope judge sullivan won't go down this road. and i hope other lawyers will spec up for general flynn because you are turning our legal system upside down. judge jeanine: you have the judge appointing gleason who is obviously a biased retired federal judge base wrote an even

op-ed piece against flynn. >> i have necessity seen in my legal career a situation where a june will not allow the government to dismiss the case and hold the criminal defendant in contempt of court for changing his plea. judge sullivan, there are people all over this country get screwed by cops and prosecutors. when you get a good prosecutor try to fix things, don't made it hard on the defendant. it will do damage to our legal system. and i would ask he criminal defense on out there to speak up. judge jeanine: senator, quickly before i move on. he's got to know he can't win on this. what does he gain by prolonging this and doing what he's doing which is totally outside the bounds of the law and the ethics. >> he makes people believe he's

got an ax to grind. i have never known a judge to look at the prosecutor and say have you thought about charge the guy with treason? judge sullivan has had a distinguished career. this is not the high mark of his career in my view. what he's contemplating is chilling to the criminal justice system. you should not be punished because the government did something wrong. judge jeanine: one of the things the president said, if i were a senator or congressman the first person i would call to testify about the biggest political crime is barack obama. you as the chairn chair of the judiciary plan hearings on june 3 in washington. why? >> i'm a little reluctant. president trump you are welcome to come to the judiciary committee and tell us why the general flynn case should go

forward. you are welcome to come and talk about everything you did with crossfire hurricane and your knowledge. if nadler and schiff tried to seen a president trump to go to the house, the president would say no. nobody is above the law, including barack obama. if i find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing, i'll turn it over to the prosecutor in this case. mr. durham from connecticut. with but i'm a separate bran' of government. i am in the senate. i have oversight over the executive branch. there is a separation of powers. and in over 200 years we never had a president called before the congress for a reason. but barack obama will be held account bible if he did something wrong through the criminal prosecution system. judge jeanine: senator lindy

graham with. how do we bring the supply chain back home, make china pay for its mistakes in spreading the virus across the world. we'll look at that with white house advisor

trump administration's response to covid-19 disastrous. accountable. it's a theme we touched on every week here on justice and the white house has been paying attention. white house trade advisor peter navarro joins me. i want to start with a comment made by former president obama at a commencement speech where he knocked the folks in charge basically saying the government officials in charge respond something coronavirus show total incompetence and they obviously don't know what they are doing. a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge. what say you in response to that? >> was that today or was that a

political ad? i want to congratulate the former president on his new job as press secretary for the candidate locked in the basement. good job. we'll be happy to see you on the trail. 8 years of obama-bind was a kumbaya of incompetence. 50,000 factories disappeared to china. the american workers, it was always let them eeg rugala. donald j. trump got 500,000 manufacturing jobs back. here is the challenge. i have got two challenges. the dog that didn't bark in that speech was no mention of the role of china in this pandemic.

i'll start counting the days that we don't hear from joe biden and barack obama on the fact that comien o -- -- that china caused this pandemic and caused damage to this world and to date 80,000 americans lives. do you any the obama-biden administration could have stood up ventilator factory in 17 days? do you think the obama-biden administration could have made the masks. this week i did see a turnaround. history will mark this week was the turn around. we got the economy back open in 48 of the 50 states.

president donald trump announced a strategic stockpile. stronger, smarter, more resilient. we have a manhattan project that will get usa to a vaccine with a goal in december. we'll talk about how we might get to that. these are the things along with building the best economy in the last 50 years that barack obama and joe biden couldn't have done and joe biden never will do in his lifetime. judge jeanine: reports of china actually hacking computers of those companies working on the vaccine. is there truth to that? >> you are getting me really angry here. not only did they spawn the virus, hide the virus, vacuum up all the ppe in the world and

spread the virus. now government hackers are trying to steal the intellectual property of the vaccine developers. judge jeanine: this is going to finish you. peta is now saying that thization wet markets are -- that the asian wet markets are still selling bats and monkeys. >> i don't think it matters. i think it was spawned in a p4 weapons lab. there are no coincidences in china. the ground zero patient in wuhan was within yards of that p4 lab. the bats that were in the wet market were not the same that spawned this virus. the nearest bat that matches the

genetic code of the virus was in the cave that the bat lady used to go to so bring batted back to the weapons lab. the fact that china is coming in and trying to steal the vaccine. go. say hi to corey for me. judge jeanine: i want to know what we are going to do to china. it's always great having you here. thanks, peter. next we are going to get a look at the 2020 race with a man who knows how to run a successful campaign. corey lewandowski joins me live.

i got this mountain bike for only $11. dealdash.com, the fair and honest bidding site. an ipad worth $505, was sold for less than $24; a playstation 4 for less than $16; and a schultz 4k television for less than $2. i

won these bluetooth headphones for $20. i got these three suitcases for less than $40. and shipping is always free. go to dealdash.com right now and see how much you can save.

judge jeanine: the trump reelection campaign is in full swing while joe biden remains

largely underground. joining me is the former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski. and he's senior advisor on the 2020 campaign. let's talk about the uniqueness of the campaign. they are trying to keep the president from going out to large rallies which he can accomplish in a matter of hours. and some guy in a bunker somewhere who can't figure out. talk to me about the digital campaign. >> the trump campaign is a juggernaut. we transitioned from the door knocking campaigns and the rallies to an online presence. what we are seeing is every night we are doing online presence with our surrogates out there. so many are joining us. but we are finding because of the pandemic, people are picking

up their telephones again for the first time in 10 or 15 years. we made millions of contacts because people want to break from their lives of every day being stuck with this coronavirus business and being stuck at home. we are getting more and more contact and more and more people are engaged in our campaign while joe biden struggles in the basement to come up with a complete and coherent sentence. judge jeanine: going forward, do you expect the president to be able to start going to rallies and will those rallies depend upon the state and whether the governors of those states are giving it okay? how long does the president wait to get on the road again? >> we saw the president doing an official event in scranton, pennsylvania that joe biden claims as home even though he

hasn't lived there for six decades. the statute of eliminations calling scranton your home expired 60 years ago. but i think you are starting to seat transition. more and more states are opening. some states never closed. but we know the president loves a rally. i think we'll see a reassessment right after the 4th of july. is it safer for the people to come together again. and what precautions are necessary. part of those precautions have to be personal responsibility as well. judge jeanine: with the effort on the part of the left and nancy pelosi to actually fund write-in ballots. how do you think that will play out and what can the campaign do with respect to pretty much shutting down polling places and

requiring people to do write-in ballots. >> what we know is last week in the state of nebraska there was a primary. it was held in person. city worked out fine. in my home state of new hampshire we have an issue who can vote in the election. we are allowing people who weren't residents of the state to vote in our elections. these mail-in ballots are dangerous. it takes a driver's license and stated case to do just about everything. but one of the most important things our country has is this democracy, the integrity of the ballot process. and asking people to show up in person when they are permitted to do so should not be a difficult thing to do. we can keep social distancing but we can't allow mail-in

ballots to be an excuse. judge jeanine: we'll be back in a moment audible is my road-trip companion. it's kind of my quiet, alone time. audible is a routine for me. it's like a fun night school for adults. i could easily be seduced into locking myself into a place where i do nothing but listen to books. i never was interested in historical fiction before, but i'm obsessed with it now. there are a lot of like, classic and big titles that i feel like i missed out since i don't have time to read, mean i might as well listen. if i want to catch up on the news or history or learn what's going on in the world, i can download a book and listen to it. because i listened to her story over and over again, i made the decision to go ahead and follow my own dream, which was to help other veterans. i think there's like 180 books in my, in my library now. it changes your perspective; it makes you a different person. it's true, it's so true.

judge jeanine: indiana, one of the many states trying to

responsibly re-open. senator mike braun, thanks for being here. we appreciate it. what's going on in indiana as your state is slowly beginning to open, and how is it going there. >> it's going great. my wife and i went out to eat at two local restaurants. one last night and one tonight. they are paying attention to the rules. the hoosier state is one -- one of the best business environments in the country. low taxes. folks are moving here from illinois wholesale. it's a great place to be. they were so glad the president was talking about being aspirational about restarting the economy. i did a couple floor speeches before we left in late march that this would be the critical point in this pandemic saga. we cannot substitute the veal

economy with the federal government. you saw what the house wants to do. it's a wish list similar to what they tried to do when we did 3.0. it's a non-starter. business liability is a concern as we start to restart this economy. many small, medium and large businesses are worried about that. i think more than anything, you hear a lot about testing and all that stuff. businesses are willing to pay attention to the rules. let them have the chance to get going. here in indiana i know that's a key concern. judge jeanine: certainly, senator it's about individual responsibility and understanding what the issues are. i want to talk about this $3.3 trillion relief bill that's called pelosi got out of the house. there are those who call it an

income redistribution bill. even thought it's supposed to be for the pan dem i can, there is no payroll protection plan. there is no liability protection for businesses. those two would seem to be non-starters if this is supposed to be considered a re-opening and protecting the economy and businesses. >> there is no doubt about that. of course, a large portion of it is for state government. and that's a ticklish issue in the sense a lot of state governments don't operate like indiana where we have a balanced budget and have a rainy day fund. so that's going to be a big point of discussion. and again i think they look at this as a way to try and inherently change government to put into affect a lot of their agenda that's not going to work, and i think it american public

is too smart for that. thank goodness we had somebody with an entrepreneurial sense how to get through this. it has to be relying on getting the economy restarted. pay attention to the rules. we can do two things at once. >> clearly if that bill is a huge expansion of the welfare state. saving new york, new jersey, illinois, they made the mess, they should be able to deal with it. we love having you on justice. thanks for being here, and keep up the fight. thanks. we'll be right when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage.
