work on their hands, because real life on the ground things are looking bad. ladies, thank you all very much. that will do it for me, it has been a pleasure and honor, neil will be back tomorrow. everybody asking me on social media, he is great and going to be here a fantastic show. you can catch me on the fox business network and making money. i will try my best, until then, here is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> hello, everyone, i am dana perino along with greg gutfeld, jesse watters, katie pavlich, and juan williams, it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> dana: pressure building on president biden to get china to say where the coronavirus came from. three weeks at the very controversial lab in wuhan needed to be hospitalized back in november 2019 with symptoms that could be similar to covid. now that is the first official reported case of coronavirus.
2:01 pm
dr. anthony fauci who has assisted us now saying this. >> are you still confident that it developed naturally? >> i'm not convinced about that. i think that we should continue to investigate what went on and china until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened. >> dana: a former secretary of state mike pompeo is demanding that the chinese government be held accountable. >> we need to get to the bottom, because they are still conducting research in the same laboratories today that has been done in ways that were similar to what happened a year ago. this is dangerous and we know for sure that they covered up this virus, i am confident that we will find that the evidence that we have seen today is consistent with the lab leak that i'm positive that's what we will see. >> dana: mike pompeo, secretary of state, and paid attention, he is the secretary of state and in a position to know. there might be intel out there that says something like this. but take a look at what he said just a year ago.
2:02 pm
>> i can tell you that there is a significant amount of evidence that this came from the laboratory in wuhan. the best experts thing it was man-made and i have no reason to disbelieve that at this point. >> dana: other conservatives were ridiculed in the media coming you can see from "the new york times," "washington post" all saying media misinformation, or fringe theories, what say you now? >> greg: and we were blaming the penguin, anybody who brought up this, and not as a primary cause, but one of many options, you are either called a racist or xenophobic, right? or the great phrase that is now used all the time, conspiracy theorist. so this is stories like the wuhan lab, the hunter biden laptop, the crime wave, this is where the stories go to die under a suffocating pile of media sarcasm, and right now as
2:03 pm
we are talking about this midway for the self edit, there is just so many articles to make it seem like they did not really make fun of it. but i think that you have to remind yourself about a year ago, there are people all over the political map who are open to this idea, but it was one of many ideas. but the media acted as a narrative gatekeeper which it always does. and they get to label the dangerous ideas first and go after you if you violate the norm. if you look closely, you will see how the interest of china often coincide with the media's deliberate avoidance of stories that harm china whether it is the uighurs, whether it is the nba, whether it is the lab and competence. so you have to get to the bigger question, what is the incentive for china to cooperate over this problem when you still have disney and you still have apple coming is still have the nba. working with china as they employ slave labor. why would china care about our moral outrage when we are still doing work with them while they
2:04 pm
use? they are -- seriously, a legitimate question, what are you going to do about it? nothing, so we will continue on with it and not cooperate. there is no reason and we only have ourselves to blame in shaping the impeachment while this thing just exploded all over the place. >> dana: in the green room we would say, guys -- the story, pain pay attention, but impeachment was -- but here jen psaki, being asked by peter doocy what could happen in order to get information from china on this one. >> why isn't president biden pushing for more access and information to get to the bottom of exactly what happened? >> we are, and we have repeatedly called for the w.h.o. to support an expert driven pandemic origins that is free from interference or political essays station. >> dana: if it came from the
2:05 pm
lab, this is the biggest disaster on the planet. if somebody has to play it right. >> jesse: are not always on the winning side of a conspiracy debate. but it feels pretty good, i do have to say that the real conspiracy was the effort to smear people looking for the truth as the coconspirators, obviously democrats can only have one villain in this plot and that is trump, too confusing to have china as a bad guy, and the election year, could not have the country united against china. and heavily invested in china, did not want to rock the vote. obviously china is not going to own up to this, and then these scientists funded by fallacy in these labs came out and said no, no, no, look the other way, and even scientists not involved did not say anything because it would jeopardize the grants through the nih, i remember you put up those full screens, was
2:06 pm
it six months ago? if you went near the story fact-checkers from an army of ballots descended upon you and you were basically called a pandemic birther in order to scare the be out of anybody who follow down that path. but the cover-up started to crack. conservatives online following the money and where the grants went, even found the language in the grant proposals talking about the gain of function research. and scientists speak up, even the security council said we are not really buying what china is selling, and the w.h.o. delegation was a complete disaster. they go over there, and they did not present a shred of evidence for the natural theory. and not a shred of evidence why there is a mountain of evidence on the other side saying that it came from the lab. i'm not going to bore you with that. i bore the audience on my
2:07 pm
weekend show enough, but i know what the democrats are going to say. they are going to say, why does it matter where it came from? well, that's all that matters, because if you want to prevent the next pandemic you have to figure out the origin in order to save millions of lives. that's the point. >> dana: it matters. it seems to me that the biden administration knows, juan, than americans and our allies are going to want to try to get to the bottom of this. what is the next step from the biden administration on this? >> juan: i think that they want an answer. i think that's why everybody is talking in terms of clapping themselves on the back and saying oh, my conspiracy theory turns out to be right, but i think that this is something everybody wants, i don't think that it matters, the difference at the moment is that you have now intelligence about those three people who went to the hospital with covid-like symptoms as reported by "the wall street journal" and experts in that article on both
2:08 pm
sides saying that they could have had a cold or the flu, but they could've also had coronavirus, so now there is a lie to be followed and i would love to see an investigation and know the origins of this thing, i think that's just what everybody will want to. but i have to say in all honesty, we are dealing with china. and i think that the chinese are an authoritarian society. i think that anybody who tells the truth about something this big is at risk of death from government officials, everybody is in fear of the government officials and we know what they have done with the uighurs and others, and what is going on in hong kong, this is a very cruel regime and they don't want anything about it. i know that the critics will say, well, here in this country, there are certain things that we don't want to investigate either, we have journalists, we have lots of people who are talking about it and not worried about going to jail.
2:09 pm
in china you go to jail or you die. that's why you don't know that we will ever get to the bottom of it, but it is the -- is it worth an investigation, absolutely. >> dana: the chinese telling their own citizens even the internal propaganda in the country is that americans are making this up and that they are trying -- that america somehow is at fault here. >> katie: looking back on this it tells me two things about most of the media. it says they were either very ignorant about the way that the chinese communist party operates or they were complicit. immediately when we heard about the virus coming out of lujan and i immediately thought, obviously there is a chance that this could come from a lab because it is china and then you had all of the cover-up going on, i mean, an ally of the united states told the world health organization in december 2019 that they knew that this was something that could be contagious human human.
2:10 pm
and in the world health organization which is beholden to china ignore that, covered it up and said to the rest of the world while travel was still going on internationally that this was not a virus that could be contagious from person to person and it is about following the money, because when you look at the lab and you look at the kind of research that they were doing, it was very clear and obvious by the way that everybody in the media for the most part, not everyone, but most people except for the journalist who got kicked out of china, remember that happened when they pounced all over the idea that we can even talk about it, that was a clear sign and clue that there was more to the story. and they have been doing this in labs in the united states, chinese communist party members and members of the pla, and they go back to china and they take viruses from nature and take them into a lab and frankenstein them into viruses that can -- that human beings can contract. and you have to ask why, i don't think it's because they just want to research viruses and see

2:17 pm
>> jesse: after days of waiting, they are getting around to condemning the anti-semitic violence. taken to twitter to call it "despicable." do you agree that the biden administration is supplying weapons to kill children in gaza? >> juan: i don't think that they are intending to cause violence against civilians, but i think that that is the argument, jesse. to my mind, you know, we have to be very clear here and not confuse anti-semitism with legitimate criticism of debate about israeli policies. that's a separate issue. that's not anti-semitic to say i'd diss to have her with israel's policy is, you have the debate among jewish people including bernie sanders about what israel is doing and how it conducts its policies. you have aipac versus j street in terms of the jewish american community are taking different positions, so there's nothing anti-semitic about it is matt
2:18 pm
criticizing israel. the larger issue is where do we go as an american people with regards to the violence that we have seen in the streets. it is reprehensible and to be condemned by every side. i don't care if it is anti-somatic violence against jewish people, or anti-muslim violence, antiwhite, antiblack or those people who want to say chinese people brought covid here and they are attacking the asians in larger numbers, all of it tears at a set americans and we need to stand together in opposition of that kind of behavior. in one last thing about israel, there was a generational divide as you can start to see it now on the poll numbers about israel that did not exist previously. everybody just wanted to support israel and were so vulnerable. i think that israel and the prime minister and that the prime minister netanyahu better be aware of the fact that they are more and more americans who are critical of israeli
2:19 pm
policies. >> jesse: i have not seen that, but your point about israel being vulnerable, why do you think that the democrats always root for the so-called underdog even when the underdog is just firing rockets into civilian territory? >> greg: they could just be stupid, or inconsistent. why do you think that there is more anti-semitic attacks going on right now? there is a dramatic uptick. why is there a rise in anti-asian attacks, because all violent crime is up, right? all violent crime is up across the board. we talk about this month ago. it was left off, but you cannot tease out specific hate crimes as something reprehensible without first condemning all of it as a group. this is due to a reduction of policing and the lack of accountability. when you see repeats and felons they keep getting out no bale it sends a message when you get arrested you're going to be out on the street before the cop is
2:20 pm
done doing his paperwork. some people are more important to answer your question, jesse, some people are more important to the media than others, which is why the media and the democrats responded inconsistently to violence even when it is well-documented with words, pictures, and statistics. i don't know why it is so hard to contain a consistent disavowal of all violence. to the gain and the attacking of people in new york city. if we were consistent, none of the stuff whatever happened and you have to have a very strong support of law enforcement that would keep this from happening, because that is the incentive that one needs. >> jesse: it goes without saying that pollock jews they
2:21 pm
have killed civilians. admitting that they deliberately fire rockets from civilian areas in gaza actively targeting israel so that when they retaliate they kill civilians, so they are used for propaganda. and when you see this overflow into the united states with pro-palestinian hamas supporting people attacking jews in the

streets and they know they are not going to get arrested or if they do they will get out really quickly and say is that guided yesterday i would do it again after beating a jewish man in the street, they know that they can get away with it just like they know that they can get away with attacking israel because the international community will say, how dare you be violent against hamas when really they are just defending themselves, on an equal playing field when it comes to exchanging violence. >> jesse: pretend you are jen psaki, dana, i am peter doocy. tomorrow i will say the quarter million that joe biden relates to the palestinians that trump froze, they purchased weapons and then use them on israeli citizens to the biden administration regret releasing that money? >> dana: one thing i've never done is fallen for a hypothetical, jesse, i'm still not going to do that, but i would know one thing, the flaw

of progressives including bernie sanders, putting out the tweets saying that they condemn anti-semitism violence, but they add to, all of them added and the rise of islamophobia. and i think that we need to be clear about this, where is the data? where's the inquiry heard where you actually seeing it and i agree that islamophobia is bad and attacks against people because they are muslim is terrible, but do we actually have data that shows that that is happening? the last thing i would point out is that it is very important that we all remember the struggles we have in this country are not a mirror image of every place that we look. and the issues, and katie knows them very well, when you can understand what is going on between the israelis and the palestinian authority is much more nuanced and complicated. it's not just of black and white issue, we have to be more thoughtful about how we talk about it and i would say that the president and vice president absolutely should do more than

2:29 pm
homeland security has announced that the border is closed. but they lie like they breathe. when i hear the secretary say that the border is closed, my mind went back to that image of president clinton looking the american people in the eye and saying, i did not have sex with that woman. we know how that turned out. i've been to the border, if you believe it is close, you believe in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny, and that jimmy hoffman died of natural caught causes. >> greg: from the border to the blue dress. what is this close to exactly? ufos, sea monsters? >> katie: alligators, regular travel, that's the irony, it's technically still closed at force of entry. everything in between is totally wide open, and i remember when
2:30 pm
senator kennedy went down to the border to see it firsthand, because it is a crisis. and they were being touted by cartel members from the other side of the rio grande come because supporters -- border policy is actually a joke. everybody keeps asking why the vice president who is in charge of the state solution not going to town to see it firsthand? because i would validate that it is actually a crisis, why would you visit if everything is fine and the border is closed. so there's going to be fallout from this in the sense that those guys who are running away when you can just turn yourself in and get process and relief anyway, who are they? do they have criminal records? catching child abusers almost every day at the border. and it seems like the biden administration and democrats have no interest in stopping those kinds of criminals from coming into the country. >> greg: you know, dana, when i look at the footage i think, i
2:31 pm
wish i could run that past. my knees are gone, it's not going to happen. but shouldn't joel, president biden put up some signs saying you guys, the border is closed, cut into that solve the problem? >> dana: these are also single adult males, and they are all -- if they are, it's like the border patrol agent could have caught all of them, they would've been deported. that is the actual policy for single adult males. the problem is that they say the border is closed, but if the children get over if they get to stay. but if you come with your children, then you are able to be here until you figure it out et cetera. the problem with this is, well there is a political problem for the democrats that you can hear them say that the border is closed or you can see with your eyes what is happening. this is video that happen to be here and this is actually happening. >> greg: it's hard to argue

with the images come about by all means. >> juan: i have said it repeatedly that we had videos before and you say it's exclusive and sensational, you can take these pictures anytime of the last ten, 20, 30, hundred years people crossing some point in the border, but in terms of the policy it is as dana just laid out to you, when they catch people especially men, but anybody but children, they are thrown out. and so that's what we mean when we see the limb and say that the border is closed. to my mind, the real fox exclusive last week was storage judge of -- george w. bush who has a book out now about immigration saying that the problem is that congress has a failure to act. he tries to get something done when he was president and group of republicans try to work with democrats in 2013 to get something done. then it was the republican house that stopped at, what we need, that president bush on target, weaning congress to get off their duffs and get in action
2:33 pm
and let us get border security as part of a comprehensive immigration reform deal. >> greg: jesse, that's where you get to the comprehensive deal. it's always in the comprehensive, never lets act specifically to enforce the border, it has to be a part of the comprehensive deal which then of course negates any attempt to strengthen the border. it is the same lie. >> jesse: that word is such a cop-out. juan says they are catching single adult males and sending them back, did any of those men look like they were caught? that's the whole game, you send kids and families across in the border patrol agents have to babysit them and then just like hundreds of single adult men poor across. i am boycotting immigration segments on "the five." i have nothing left to give! i have given everything.
