of insulin has impacted her health and that she's been forced to ration her insulin. she said "i know that it's not good at all for my health and i'm sure that i have affected some organs negatively because of the lack of money to purchase insulin. but no longer, thanks to the president's leadership, medicare seniors will pay no more than $35 for their insulin, and that is per month and that is for all forms of insulin through all phases of the medicare part d program. i also will say that some plans are free to even go below the $35. they could see lower premiums. i'm also proud to say that we have over 88 health plans that are participating in this model and that represents over 1,750 plans that will offer this low-cost insulin. these plans will be available during this year's open

enrollment which starts in october. i want to think the manufacturers and the health plans for stepping up to the plate, for coming together to negotiate this great senior savings model. it's going to make such a difference in the lives of many seniors across the country. i am optimistic that this could be a model to lower the costs of many other drugs in the medicare program. thank you again, president trump, for bringing lower-cost priced insolent. our seniors are going to be saving an average of 66% in their insulin costs. it is nothing short of a godsend. with that, i think we are going to hear from one of our medicare beneficiaries. thank you. >> president trump: thank you, seema. >> hi. i live in the hudson valley in new york. i am 16 years old and relied medicare part d. i've been a diabetic for over ten years. during that time i watched

insulin prices rise dramatical dramatically. i appreciate president trump putting a policy in place that will help people like myself for the future as far as insulin products. thank you. >> president trump: that's very nice and many, many people feel the same way. they can't actually believe it. $35 and last, and less. they were being ripped off at a level that nobody has seen before. but that's true with a lot of other things we are taking care of them too. i want to thank everybody for being here, in particular these great executives. thank you very much. thank you very much. you are very impressive in your speech, thank you very much. john, please. >> reporter: mr. president, can you tell us what you plan to do regarding sanctions against china for its pending actions against hong kong? and do you also intend put restrictions on f and jay visas

for students and researchers coming into the united states from china. >> president trump: we are doing something now that i think you'll find it very interesting but i want to be talking about it today. i will be talking about it over the next couple of days. it's a very important question. please, anybody. please. >> mr. president, two questions about a couple things you have tweeted about the last few days. were you meaning to criticize vice president biden for wearing a mask yesterday, and can you ask clay why you have been tweeting about a conspiracy theory that has been proven to not be true? >> president trump: biden can wear a mask. he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions. perfect weather. they are inside, they don't wear masks. if it was unusual they had one on. if it gets fine. i wasn't criticizing him. why would i do a thing like that? your second question was, i couldn't hear you? can you take it off because i cannot hear you. >> i will speak louder.

>> president trump: you want to be politically correct. go ahead. >> reporter: i want to wear the mask. the woman who died and you are suggesting that joe scarboroughs responsible. >> president trump: a lot of people are suggesting that. hopefully people will find out. it's suspicious. sad, very sad and very suspicious. >> reporter: to tweet about. >> reporter: have you seen the letter that was written by her husband begging twitter to delete your tweets, talking about how hard it's been for his family, to deal with it. >> president trump: i'm sure ultimately they want to get to the bottom of it and it's a very serious situation. i saw a clip with joe. they were having a lot of fun at her expense i thought it was totally inappropriate. it's a very suspicious thing and i hope somebody gets to the bottom of it. it will be a very good thing. as you know, there is no statute

of limitations. it would be a very good thing. who's next? any questions on insulin? >> reporter: mr. president, there is a bill in congress, related to the uighurs. >> president trump: will be looking at it this afternoon. >> reporter: something special that you mentioned on china, does that include sanctions? >> president trump: it is something you're going to be hearing about before the end of the week. very powerfully i think. please. >> reporter: is there any reason why someone who does not have diabetes would take insulin? is there any medical reason? >> president trump: would anyone like to discuss it? do you know the answer? either one of you or both. come on. let's get these highly paid executives appear to give the answer.

seema? please. jerome. we picked a good one. we got it right. >> thank you, mr. president. i think it's important for everyone to know that as tracy brown highlighted earlier, one in three americans have actually either -- is diabetic or prediabetic. i would encourage folks to go to diabetes.org/risk -- test. diabetes.org/risk-test. we know that 7 million people are dependent on insulin. we know that from a type one diabetes standpoint, 1.6 million americans have type one diabetes and most all of them are dependent on insulin. your body, mr. president, actually makes insulin. people such as you and i, we make our own insulin. so yes we do utilize it but we

make it ourselves. other people who have diabetes oftentimes need insulin made by many of these great manufacturers here so they can be healthy and live long, successful lives. make no mistake about it. i think with affordable insulin they can live a long and healthy life and thus we are here for today. it's a very important day. it's a monumental day because tracy, we have been working for years to try to address the price of insulin for years. it's an important and i want to thank you, mr. president and all the people here for making that insolent affordable to more people. >> president trump: thank you very much. tracy, do you agree with that? and the question i found to be an interesting one. is that an unusual question or an unusual circumstance? >> [indistinct]

>> president trump: right, okay, good. i thought it was a very good question actually. please go ahead. >> thank you, mr. president. we see in europe they are opening their borders and letting people going. are you considering for the good of the u.s. economy, are you considering lifting the flight ban from europe and the next week? >> president trump: we are just putting a ban on you know, going on essentially a most immediately to brazil and from brazil into our country. so from brazil to the united states. they are having a very hard time in brazil. we are doing certain announcements on other countries including europe as we move along. they are making progress and will start to open it up but only where they are making progress. they're making some good progress. i think we are making very good progress. we are making very good progress on the economy. the numbers are better than anyone would've anticipated. and certainly i think that's been reflected in stock market

which had a very big day and it's over 25,000. when you think 25,000 is a very high number. when you think it was at 29,000 and now it's at 25, that's a very big day, substantially over the last six months. so we had a very big david people are seeing what's happening. they are seeing there is a pent-up demand, as i was predicting. you are going to see it more and more. we call it the transition to greatness. it really is. we're going to have a third-quarter that's going to be good. we are going to have the fourth quarter that has a potential to be really good and we are going to have one of the best years we've ever had next year. that's what we see. john, go ahead. >> reporter: mr. president, is it your intention to bring american forces home from afghanistan by thanksgiving day and is the pentagon drawing up plans to that effect? >> president trump: i think everyone knows that we are down to less than 8,000 troops. with leadership in many different fields and many different parts of that country,

we are dealing with the taliban. we are dealing with the president, the president now has gotten himself straightened out with the two presidents but we're dealing with, they had competing factors and factions. yeah, i think we want to get them. 19 years. we are not acting as soldiers. we are acting as police and we are not sent over there to be policemen. we are there 19 years and yeah, i think that's enough. they understand. you're having positive talks. want to bring our soldiers back home. want to bring them back home and were not only talking about there. we are talking about other countries also. we bring our soldiers back home. you can always go back if we have to. we have to go back, will go back. we will go back as warriors, fighters. right now we are policing and we are not meant to be a police force. merriment be a fighting force.

>> reporter: is thanksgiving day the target? >> president trump: i have no target. over a period of time. we are down to 7000-some-odd soldiers. in iraq, we are down to 4,000 soldiers. so we're making a lot of progress. in syria, you're a member of the border when i took the soldiers out of the border everyone said that so terrible. well, i spoke to president erdogan yesterday of turkey, the border has been fine without us. they have been policing that border for 2,000 years. all of a sudden we have thousands of soldiers there doing their work. for what? regarding syria and turkey on a border, very long border, no. we want troops back home. we took them out. that was a year ago. i was criticized. nothing happened except they are watching their own borders now. we kept the oil. but at some point we'll take care of the kurds with respect to the oil and get out. please go ahead. >> reporter: mr. president, on

you're with governor cuomo tomorrow, can you say what you're going to be discussing? do you have a particular agenda? will you discuss the gateway projects? >> president trump: i would imagine he would. he asked for the meeting so we'll see what he wants, governor cuomo and will be coming in sometime tomorrow. please go ahead. >> reporter: what can you tell us about the documents purportedly declassified by ric grenell? are you prepared to release the transcripts of the flynn-kislyak conversations? >> president trump: i would like to hear it. the fbi said he didn't lie and certainly the conversation almost regardless it was a good conversation. he was allowed to do it. the mueller people who are, have been proven very bad, very bad things they did. very bad things. a lot of bad things are being found out about the hoax. greatest hoax in the history of the country.

it was an illegal hoax and a very dangerous hoax. a lot of bad things been found out about mueller and the gang. so i would like to hear that conversation, yeah, i would like to hear it personally. whenever they want me to do, i will do. i think ric grenell has done an incredible job and things are happening now that i always knew this was the answer, this was an attempted coup by a bunch of dirty cops. these are dirty cops, dishonest, slime bags. go ahead. >> reporter: mr. president, you acknowledged that you wanted governors to reopen churches and synagogues and mosques. you said you would overrule them if they declined to do so. can you explain what authority you had in mind? >> president trump: i can apsley do it if i want to edit out the gum but i have to because it's starting to open up. we need our churches and synagogues and mosques. we want them open. churches, synagogues, mosques

and others. we want them open and we want them open as soon as possible. i can tell you i know a lot of pastors, rabbis, imam for less. they want to take care of their people. they don't want anyone getting hurt or sick. they're going to take care of their people. we need these people. we need people that are going to be leading us in faith and we are opening it up and if i have to, i will override any governor who wants to play games. if they want to play games, that's okay. but we will win and we have many different ways or i can override them. if i have to, i'll do it but we want our churches and synagogues and mosques et cetera, we want them open. there may be some areas, by the way, where the pastor or whoever may feel it's not quite ready and that's okay. that's okay. let that be their choice of the congregation and the pastor.

go ahead. >> reporter: mr. president, how long will you give north carolina governor roy cooper to provide you with the information that you and the rnc are asking for before you decide to look elsewhere for a venue for the rnc convention in august? >> president trump: we don't have much time. if we are going to spend millions of dollars on an arena, we want to be in north carolina. i love north carolina and i won north carolina. we had two races that we won recently for congress in north carolina, two very big races that the press didn't want to report on. if we would've lost it would've been the biggest story in political history but we just won two races. very important place. i love north carolina. my son, eric, and lara named ebay beat carolina. she was born in north carolina, lara so it's a very important place to me. i think people understand we have a governor who doesn't want to open up the state and we have

a date of august, the end of august. and we have to know before we spend millions and millions in dollars on an arena to make it magnificent for the convention we have tremendous. economic development consequences are tremendous for the state. we have to know that when people come down, they're going to have the doors open. now, if the governor can't tell us very soon, unfortunately, we have no choice. this has nothing to do with us. this is between the governor in north carolina, the people of north carolina. the people want it. we'll have to see whether or not the governor -- he's a democrat at a lot of the democrats, for political reasons, don't want to open up their states. we will see if that works but i don't think it will. i would love to have it in north carolina. that was why he chose it. charlotte. we are going to see. we are going to see. and at the end, we need a fast decision from the governor. he is going to have to. he's been acting very, very slowly and very suspiciously but

we will find out. question please. >> reporter: in terms of soon, a week, two weeks? >> reporter: where -- >> president trump: we are talking about a short amount of time. it's a massive expenditure and we need to know. within a week. certainly we have to know. if you can't do it, if he feels he's not going to do it, only has to do is tell us we will have to pick another location i will tell you a lot of locations want it. but i picked north carolina because i do love that state and it would've been a perfect place for it and it still would be, but he's got to say when thousands of people come to the arena that they will be able to get in. does that make sense? we will spend millions and millions of dollars on this magnificent design but in the end, they have to be able to get in. i don't want to have it when we get there and then they announce after all the money was spent come all the work was done, all the people traveling, guess what. you can't put anybody in the arena or you can put a tiny

number of people the arena. please go ahead. >> reporter: there are no more than a dozen states in this country where case numbers are rising. so why is it suspicious if they governor says we don't want to move that quickly. we still think we need to shut down. >> president trump: it's fine. governors in certain ways have to do what they want to do but they have to tell me what they're doing. when it comes to churches, et cetera, they will be overridden by me. when it comes out of things and many other things, they won't. if i think something is being done incorrectly or wrong, i'm going to do it. but you have different governors and the a very different views on where they are and where they are going. so we'll see what happens. >> reporter: i'm sure you saw the images over the weekend of people out on memorial day weekend. they were crowding pools and boardwalks. you have any message for those people? >> president trump: always be safe. we are opening up. be safe. >> reporter: about mail-in voting, even speaking out

against it. even speaking about that. why should somebody who is afraid of coronavirus going to public places and standing in line, et cetera, why should they not be allowed to do mail-in. >> president trump: it's going to be a long time from now. it's quite a ways away. number one. but when you do all mail-in voting ballots, you're asking for fried. people steal them out of mailboxes. people print them and they sign them and they give them in and people don't even know and they are double counted. they force people to vote. they harvest. do not harvesting's? they take many, many ballots and put them together and then they dump them and nobody has any idea whether they are crooked or not. you do mail-in voting, it's another thing to do absentee voting. or if somebody has a medical condition where they go through process and get an absentee ballot. that's okay. that's different. in california, the governor is

sending millions of ballots all over the state, millions, to anybody, to anybody. people that aren't citizens. illegals. anybody that walks in california is going to get a ballot. we are not going to destroy this country by allowing things like that to happen. we are not destroying our country. this has more to do with fairness and honesty and really our country itself. when that starts happening, you don't have a -- you have a rigged system. you have a rigged system. that's what would happen. so mail-in ballots, and the governor of california did better than any that i could ever do in terms of explaining. when he sent out or will send out an i don't know, i think it's maybe partially already done. millions and millions of ballots to anybody in california that's walking or breathing. many of those people don't have the right to vote. they will be voting.

you know what? we are not going to let it happen because you are subverting our process and you're making our country a joke. the democrats are doing it because in theory it's good for them, although last week we won two big races. we won in wisconsin and california. california 25. we won a tremendous racing california. that was interesting because of the end of the race, they brought in, the democrat governor, same governor, he brought in voting booths. not mail-in. voting booths. they were losing. they sought in the ballots. you can't do that. he can't do the mail-in ballots because you're going to have tremendous fraud and remember what i said. they will be grabbing them from mailboxes. they will even be printing them. they're going to use the same paper, the same machines and they'll be printing ballots illegally and they'll be sending them and by the hundreds of thousands i'm nobody's going to know the difference. we can't do that. you want to vote, you really

have to. absentee is okay. you are sick. as an example, i have to do to an absentee. because i live in florida. i live in that beautiful house that painted white. and it's okay. it's okay for people that are sick and they can't get up. something. something. voting is a great honor. it's a great honor. people love to go out and vote and i want to keep it that way. if we don't keep it that way, we will have nothing but a rigged system in this country and we can't do that. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> that was the president of the united states fielding some questions on a range of topics after an announcement on medicare drug costs for seniors, talking about mail-in voting. he doesn't believe that's a good way to go because of the opportunity for fraud. talking about church is reopening and if there's going to be any sort of pushback.

also about whether the rnc convention is going to go off in charlotte, north carolina, because he hasn't really heard a definitive word from the democrat governor, cooper. that's in the balance as well. also discussed something earlier with regard to nursing homes. there is a continuing back-and-forth about i guess governor cuomo had a policy a few months ago forcing sick people into nursing homes. now governor cuomo is blaming the president for that policy. cuomo is going to be in the white house tomorrow. there's going to be a big meeting. let's bring it around. a lot to react to. geraldo rivera, what do you think is going on with this cuomo versus president trump nursing home scandal? >> geraldo: it is a rivalry that dates back to the days of mario cuomo, the father of andrew and chris cuomo. i think that what happens in new york and other big states

with the nursing homes is as an absolute scandal. the death rates in those nursing homes far exceeding that of the population generally. in some states half of all the deaths come from these nursing homes. they are too damn big. the whole industry has to be re-forged. the president now is suggesting various reforms that are necessary i think the whole idea of housing where one infected person can destroy the whole establishment, we have to change will be care for the elderly. >> jesse: all right. let's listen to cuomo kind of point fingers at the federal government and you can react to it. >> new york followed the presidents agencies guidance. that's not my intent to

politicize it. it's my intent to depoliticize it. so don't criticize the state for following the president's poli policy. >> jesse: do you think people are going to buy that? >> dana: well, i talked about this a little bit last week. remember the state of washington was the first to have a big outbreak in a nursing home. that was one of the places that we first saw, this could spread quickly and easily. as we have seen, the cdc guidance has continued to change. it changes quite regularly which is a little bit disturbing, on masks and other things. the governor of new york i think finally is feeling the pressure after some sustained attention on this issue, not from everybody but finally i think because advocates for the elderly, family members of these people that died, in nursing homes. on average, jesse, about ten

years earlier than they would have if they didn't have coronavirus in these places with the treatment that they got. imagine being robbed of ten years of your loved one. imagine also that these people were already feeling the angst and the anxiety of maybe not being able to care for their elderly people in their own homes. how upsetting that is to them. no i think governor cuomo is definitely feeling the heat. he does have the cdc as a shield but i also think it's pretty interesting how they have tried to ignore this for a long time. they talk about how they want to get credit for things they did the federal government wasn't doing. but when it comes to something as egregious as what happened in the nursing homes, they are the first to point to, well, it was the federal government, not me. i don't know that that will actually work. >> jesse: that is a good observation. what do you think about this

mail-in situation, john rich. you have allegations and these have been proven that when they send out these mail-in ballots, even nursing homes get sent mail-in ballots and people are intimidated. people get their ballots taken from them. they are coerced. sometimes even more disturbing things happen. if you do that all over the country, it is just ripe for fraud and abuse. the president is very fired up about that not happening. >> john: as he should be. think about this. how hard is it to reprint a fake $100 bill? it happens all the time. you go to a store, they look at it. people are manufacturing fake money. how easy would it be to rip the ballot, just like you said. multiply it and spread it around and absolutely derail the syst

system. if you want an election that you will never know if it is legit or not, that's how you get it done right there. >> jesse: because they don't have any of those anticounterfeit stripes on the ballots like they do on the dollar bill. emily, what do you think is going on in north carolina? they are going to know soon whether the governor cooper is going to allow the convention in charlotte and they are looking at the clock on the clock is running out. what do you predict is going to happen? >> emily: we have seen an invitation from other states like georgia who says if you change your mind, we are open for business. i think it highlights the attention from the democratic governors where they continue to blame the federal government for everything. to pick up on dana's point intent on the economy and the lockdown. they say there is a quote vacuum of leadership at the federal level but that's the first resource they run to for money

and aesthetic complete -- and it's that complete dependency. they failed to manage their monster debt. it's a precarious balance. it is imbalanced at all. we should care about economies like california because the predictions in 2021 is that unemployment is going to be over 12%. those are porous borders. it's not just a democratic is set on that. we had an op-ed that came out said new jersey, new york, illinois, california make up almost 30% of the economy. the borders are porous, so we should care as we are watching the states still in lockdown have a plummeting economy and rising unemployment. i think these governors are begging congress and president for a tourniquet. at the same time, they are refusing to lower taxes.

the are still covering their continued bad decisions. >> jesse: i for one hope they have it in charlotte because i'm going to spend a lot of money on barbecue down there. some of the best stuff on earth. coming up, president trump going after joe biden for wearing a mask. we will show you that next.

♪ >> dana: welcome back. things are heating up between president trump and joe biden. the 2020 rivals traded blows. the former vp blasting trump over his decision to play golf over the weekend, and trump going after biden for wearing a mask just a few moments ago. >> biden can wear a mask but he was outside with his wife, perfect conditions, perfect

weather. they are inside, they don't wear masks. i thought it was very unusual that he had one on. >> dana: all right, geraldo. joe biden recently said that "trump is an absolute fool to talk that way." i saw that you had quite a good-looking mask that you were going to wear. i think you are showing the way for all of us. oh, do you have it? >> geraldo: there we go. >> dana: how did you get it? >> geraldo: erika, my wife got it for me on the internet. >> dana: i love it. >> geraldo: the great thing is you can talk on your lips don't move but i fogged up my glasses. the thing about the mask is that the president superficially seems more robust. joe biden seems frail. i think the president is trying

to cash in on that. it's interesting because i think the president not wearing a mask and biden wearing a mask plays right into their constituents. it's like you to isaac asimov novel. we have alternate universes in this country. the red states, areas that voted for trump generally speaking have lower infection rates and lower death rates so not wearing a mask sometimes is not a big deal. it's liberating. big cities, new york, chicago, detroit where the infection rate is sky high and the death rate is sky-high so wearing a mask is prudent. i think they are both playing this mask a game to their political favor. >> dana: john, he reminded me of when i was a little kid, i'm kind of embarrassed to admit this but i grew up in wyoming and colorado. in the winter, i thought it didn't look cool to wear a hat and i refused to wear a hat and it would drive my parents

absolutely crazy because obviously it's freezing and i need to do that. you don't wear a hat and it's super cool. i wonder how wearing a mask which the cdc will definitely help -- prevent you from getting the infection or spreading the infection, how it became political. >> john: i keep you mask in my truck. i keep one in my briefcase. if i'm going to walk into a store, put a mask on. if i'm going to go mow the grass, i don't put a mask on. it comes down to people using common sense. i think geraldo made a good point. a lot of these big cities. if i was living there, i would probably wear a mask more than i do now but i think we have 50 different states with 50 different things. some of the overreach that i have seen and we have all seen about a lot of our liberal leaders at the state and local levels are so unbelievably hard to get your head wrapped around. in nashville, a harvard study

came out said the metropolitan areas in america, nashville ranks number one is the hardest hit economy in america. we have a mayor, john cooper, who i followed every rule he had for my business down to the letter, followed everything he told us to do, we did. guess what he is proposing now for june? a32% tax increase on property for everybody who lives in nashville. not only do you get smashed with a tornado but businesses get shut down, no we are going to smack you with a 30% property tax. what is going on with people with the way they are thinking? >> dana: that's absurd. that's not going to help. talking about the economy in these businesses that want to reopen in things not making sense, i talked to aunt patty sue in wyoming. she and my uncle own a bowling alley, memory lanes, which is wonderful. they found out they can't open

either. talk about the caseload in wyoming, a lot of this stuff just isn't making sense. entrepreneurs are raring to go. >> jesse: memory lanes. i don't get it. maybe that went over my head. [laughter] the bowling alley, i guess you could say if everyone's putting fingers and holes, maybe that's not the most hygienic thing. maybe everybody just spritz a little solution on their hands before each toss. might get a little slippery. could lead to some gutter balls. i think they could work it out. from what i remember, wyoming is probably one of the least affected states in the entire country with regards to coronavirus. whatever they are doing in wyoming seems to be working. as far as the masks go, i want to congratulate joe biden for being the last american to leave his house. because that's what it seems like.

he was like the last guy in the whole country to come out of the basement. he was sending his staff to go buy groceries. this is pretty bad. you would think he was curious as to what was going on in america, a country he wants to be the president of. he had no curiosity until, i guess, very symbolic, nice move, got to give credit where credit is due to do it on memorial day. it shouldn't have taken that long. is he going to go back to the basement for the next month? the mask thing, he didn't need to wear it, i agree with geraldo. he was a symbol. he has been quarantined for longer than anybody in america. he's obviously just been with his wife. they don't have it. so if they are walking outside next to each other away from everybody else, didn't need to wear it. he did it anyway. it opens it up. the president is going to play the mask game and i think the american people agree.

>> dana: i like to look for the good news and things. emily, maybe it's good news that even joe biden was feeling like he could get out of the baseme basement. >> emily: sure. i like looking at the bright side of things. geraldo, i have to say you are mask reminds me of one of my sisters sleeping masks. it has open eyes painted on it with eyelashes. it is so freaky to see her sleeping with these bright white eyes. dana, to your question, the politically asian of it, what makes me so sad about it, is is one more thing that's over simplifying something that requires our attention on the data points. we have successfully flatten the curve. unemployment is skyrocketing. people are desperate. chicago had its worst gun violence weekend since 2015. why? lockdown amplifies poverty and

desperation, and the unhealthy urban density. there are so anything is going on in our country right now that deserves our attention. in terms of the covid aspect, the fact that it's been reduced to team mask and team not mask, it breaks my heart. as americans, we should be looking at all the data points as we pull ourselves out of this, open back up so we. secretary azar said for every 1% rise in unemployment, we see a 1% increase in suicide and 3% increase in opioid deaths. those of the things we should be, as americans, focused on. >> dana: we should and i will reassure my mom i wear a hat in the winter now. i learned my lesson. more of "the five" coming up next. open road and telling people that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need!

[squawks] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

♪ >> geraldo: the presumptive nominee joe biden is planning on attacking mr. trump on the tweets about the economy. that is really risky for the vice president on for a lot of reasons. the economy is down now.

the second quarter's going to be horrible. the economists are saying that by the summertime in the third quarter, the economy should rebound. the timing might work out just perfectly for the president if this v shaped recovery isn't what happens. joe biden criticizing the president for playing golf. jesse, it seems all of these guys since dwight eisenhower loved to play golf and then they attack their opponent when the opponent plays golf. movie they should all go to dana's aunts bowling alley and take up a different sport. [laughter] >> jesse: memory liens. sure. at least trump is good at golf. from what i hear, he's humbly one of the best presidential golfers of all time. maybe you should invite joe out for a round. they could play a round and whoever wins could be president. i would put my money on donald trump. i don't know if joe can play

golf. i know he was pictured, photographed with hunter and the guy involved with burisma after he said he didn't know the guy. that's about as much as i know with joe and golf. it's a playbook people have used for decades. i don't know if it's going to stick with the president but i also don't think that joe is some economic genius. i think this -- i don't think this guy's going to be able to run on the economy against president trump. he is down double digits on handling the economy. it's going to be about an economic comeback and you're going to see a rocket ship third quarter going into november which is going to be tough to talk around. you're going to see a record amount of jobs created in a record amount of gdp growth in that quarter heading into the election. i don't think joe is savvy enough. economically, he's never had a real job. he's a lifelong politician. wasn't even on any economic

committees as a senator. he was responsible for the stimulus. that went down the tubes. he just can't hack it on that subject. >> geraldo: on a different subject, dana, the vice presidential choice, don't you think the former vice president, the joe biden is in a very tough spot. because if he does not take an african-american running mate, i think given charlamagne tha god and all the stuff that happened, if he risks taking away the motivation, the energy from he can -- from a key constituent. he can pick up black vice vice presidential candidate but he's also looking for a woman. he's looking for twenty-first. a black woman. you know how that plays out. i don't know how professional politician would assess the reason a good spot or bad spot. >> dana: you asked if he was in a tough spot and i think

yeah, in some ways you could look at it that way but in another way, you could say it makes things easier because he's narrowed it down so much just by saying that those were going to be the two boxes he wants to check. so he has a smaller pool from which to choose. i think it's been pretty interesting about this vice presidential choice is that you have these women who are actively campaigning in the press to be his vice president. i've never seen anything like it. i always thought that it was like, you know, maybe hey, tell biden i like him and i would like to be his vice president, you get a whisper in there. you get someone else. not these ladies. i kind of admire it. saying i would be a great vice president if you choose me. i'm interested to see how it turns out. >> geraldo: john rich, wonderful to see you. you were my guy during all of "celebrity apprentice" you are my secret weapon.

i appreciate you and your great talents. the thing about the absentee ballots that the president was talking about, at-home balloting, the only recent case of harvesting absentee ballots was the republican, harris, in north carolina. i don't know that voting from home is really that different than what half of florida has been doing. >> john: i don't think it should happen on either side. the ladies actively campaigning to try to get joe biden, pick me, pick me. it's like a political version of "the bachelor." joe biden has the rose. who is he going to give the rose do? it's pretty crazy. i would also say why don't you pick the best person who can do the best job, no matter who they are or what they look like. let's go after the best person for the job. isn't that how we are supposed to do it in this country? the whole process of him doesn't

make sense. >> geraldo: it is what it is. emily, what do you think about gretchen whitmer's husband? would you divorce him if you were her? >> emily: who knows what's going to happen in that household behind closed doors. i honestly felt a little bad for her. nobody likes a hypocrite but i think -- i don't think she asked for that situation by any means. >> geraldo: by any means. stand by. we'll be right back everybody. in the doghouse, for sure. we will talk about the doghouse and other places after this. we turn to the most certain thing there is. science. science can overcome diseases. create cures. and yes, beat pandemics. it has before. it will again.

because when it's faced with a new opponent, it doesn't back down - it revs up. asking questions 'til it finds what it's looking for. that's the power of science. so we're taking our science and unleashing it. our research, experts and resources. all in an effort to advance potential therapies and vaccines. other companies and academic institutions are doing the same. the entire global scientific community is working together to beat this thing. and we're using science to help make it happen. because when science wins, we all win.

♪ >> jesse: time for "one more thing." dana. >> dana: i'm going to promote

something. i will interview mark zuckerberg tomorrow and it will air thursday. ceo, founder of facebook. lots to discuss. that will happen thursday. the meantime, i've got to show you this video. jasper met somebody on the bea beach. i don't know you can see, it is a happy face but wound. -- balloon. did not like it. confused. not a happy face for jasper. that's all i got for your dog video today. >> jesse: super cute. john rich is up next. >> john: the second season of my show "the pursuit" just came out on fox nation and i am so proud of the show. it's based off the principle that our country doesn't guarantee us happiness. it guarantees us the right to pursue happiness. i interview some of the most

incredible americans with the most inspirational stories you've ever seen. i hope everybody takes a chance, checks it out. i think you will learn a few things. i feel great about your country. >> jesse: and now to somebody who has pursued happiness more aggressively than anybody ever, geraldo rivera. >> geraldo: why did i know you were coming to me? this is my 50 year anniversary in broadcasting. to help me celebrate the publisher of my memoir, the geraldo show, my life as roadkill in the age of trump, putting the book on sale for 50% off. i don't know what the code is. go to any place where books are sold and get a 50% off. the e-book is just five bucks. the book talks about the wars that covered, for five different decades. this is libya in 2011. i came as close to getting killed as ever.

the video is kind of screwed up there. it also talks about the relationship i've had with the president for more than 45 yea years. that was intense. that scares me. i haven't seen the video in a long time. the "celebrity apprentice," my partner. donald trump, two months after i was on that show he announced he was running for president so a lot of the special connection. john originalism about all about, as good as anybody. it's in the book also. check it out. get it on sale "the geraldo show." thank you. >> jesse: got it. i thought your coverage on the war on christmas was probably some of your best work corresponding. [laughter] let's go to emily. >> emily: i wrote an op-ed about foxnews.com about what memorial day means to me and i share some stories for my extensive military family history and my uso tour experience visiting the troops

and in kuwait and iraq. it explains why i am committed to veterans causes. i would be honored and grateful if you checked it out. >> jesse: okay. we don't have time for mine. mine was not a plug, unlike the rest of you shameless self promoters. maybe tomorrow. set your dvrs. make sure you never miss an episode of "the five." "special report" is up next with bret. >> bret: you can plug it here. keep going. no, that's all right. next time. thanks, jesse. good evening. i am bret baier. breaking site, signs the economy may be recovering. wall street had a big day on the strength of news on the testing of vaccines for coronavirus. consumer confidence is up. businesses reopening across the country, some are speculating the worst be over. there are plenty of obstacles remaining as the death toll in the united states approaches 100,000. chief white house correspondent starts us off tonight. >> good evening.
