all right, set your dvr and every night so you don't miss a episode. thank you to our wonderful studio audience.ybe we will pla trip there. >> ♪ ♪ >> hello. it's 5 o'clock in new york city and this is "the five." >> ♪ ♪ >> huge outrage after a u.s. track star has her olympic dreams crushed. sha'carri richardson just got suspended for one month and may miss out on the tokyo games after testing positive for marijuana last month during the

trials where she won the 100 meter dash. she was favored to win the gold medal. she said she used marijuana to cope with the unexpected dating of her biological mother. many are outraged since pot is legal in 15 states including oregon where she was. others argue the rules are the rules and she broke them. the track star taking full responsibility for what happened. >> i take responsibility for my actions. i know what i did and what i was supposed to do. i made that decision. i am not making any excuses. people don't understand what it's like. i just say don't judge me because i am human.

>> greg, olympic dreams curbed? >> they should have locked her up -- sorry i was thinking of kamala harris. it's ridiculous. you know whoever made this decision between the previous week might have had a mar tinny. we are talking about something that is legal -- if it's one edible, it's like having a couple of martini's. the way she handled it is super professional. she is taking responsibility. this is garbage. think about where we are right now. welet a trans-athlete male to female participate in the olympics. we control their testosterone but that doesn't reverse the effects of puberty. you still have more muscle mass. if you can allow that in the olympics, all bets are off. you can allow anything.

the fact these rules still exist is amazing. biden talked about the other athlete. they should say something about this. she broke no laws. it's legal. the fellow athletes should be on her side. this is an afront to all of them. i think the track and field people are cowards. i don't know. >> [overlapping talking]. >> i feel bad she has to defend herself on this. i feel bad she had to bring up her personal issues. it's nobody's business why she does what she does. if somebody says why are you smoking pot, it's none of your business. i have a right to my pleasure and relief. it's none of their business. track and field the way they said we will try to help you --

it was mushy stuff. i am babbleing. >> she has to go through some rehab or treatment to get reinstated for marijuana. >> yes. >> okay -- that's based on the rules. i did a lot of reading about performance enhancing drugs and marijuana is not one of them. why is it even on the list when professional sports here in the united states including nhl policies. the nba change its tunes and stopped testing. in the olympics, why is it still on the list? >> i have 3 thoughts. i disagree with you, greg. it is a stupid rule. i don't think marijuana is a performance enhancing drugs. although those that argue it has a medicinal affect.

that's like a ped. i don't think you run faster because. marijuana. two it's absurd when dudes can take estrogen and compete but a woman can't smoke week and compete. >> exactly. >> number 3 and maybe the only one that matters: it's the rules. she knew the rule and broke the rule. she has to suffer the consequences. are we supposed to give her a pass and go back and change the rule. it doesn't matter if it's legal in 15 states because it's a world anti-doping agency. >> the world anti-doping agencies a joke. they allowed russia to switch urine samples at the olympics

and they let russia compete. >> i agree. change the rules. doesn't mean you can break the rules. >> retroactively change it. >> i talked about sha'carri richardson a couple of weeks ago as my "one more thing." she lost her mother and went up into the stands to hug her grand mother. it was an international feel-good story that brings the olympics alive to us. with simone breaking those records and wearing her letards that i love. jen psaki did mention her. nike is standing by her. let her run the relay. she has a month's suspension. the least it could be.

it could be 1 to 3 months. that takes her out of the 100 meter but she could be in the relay. make sure that sha'carri richardson is competing. that's how they can go a little bit towards making this right. >> i was stunned that thc is on the list next cocaine and heroin. >> yes. i agree with you guys on the absurdity and thc is not in the same class. >> right. >> competing as an athlete, that's a privilege. that's not a right. representing your country in the olympics is a privilege and not a right. as worthless as the olympic committee is, that's the rule. they updateed to affirm thc on the substance abuse list. they could reduce the suspension to one.

but the bottom line is these athletes have to take the consequences because they know what they are. this is the converse of berry when the u.s. olympics commission did not prohibit her from demonstrating but the until olympic committee prohibits demonstrations on the podium. the athletes know what the rules are. they have to stick to it when i was an nfl cheerleader i knew exactly what the infraction would be. bottom line, the fact that she got into this having do reveal it to the public because a reporter asked her about her

mother's death? >> she said some stranger told me your biological mother is dead. she said i don't fault the reporter. but she said it sent me into an emotional panic. as she tweeted i am human. >> i commend you for bringing up the fact you were a cheerleader. >> any time. >> way to drop that in there. >> any opportunity i have. >> i am boycotting the olympics. i don't see the problem with any substance when you list all of those substances. who cares? the all-drug olympics. >> [laughing]. >> it's over. when you be male to female competing and using drugs to compete all bets are off with everything else. if you are on cocaine, i don't

care. puberty has a larger effect on the human body. this is absurd. hypocr hypocritical. i am not watching one second of the olympics. this is easy to boycott. >> i agree with you. in terms of like olympics preparation i am in the john belushi care. president biden bragging about the economy and saving americans 16 cents on their 4th of july barbecues. >> ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪

american rescue plan. the last time the economy grew at this rate was in 1984 and ronald reagan said it's morning in america. it's close to afternoon here and the sun is coming out. >> the white house is getting mocked for a corny social media post bragging about how americans will save 16 cents on food at the 4th of july and biden was in no mood to take tough questions heading into the holiday weekend. >> i want to talk about happy things, man. you are asking me questions i will answer next week. this is a holiday weekend. i will celebrate it. great things are happening. covid-19 deaths are down 90% and wages are up. we are bringing troops only. >> will, don't you dare ask about the president about

afghanistan as he is headed to a barbecue. that is unacceptable. >> he only wants to talk about happy things. it's late in the afternoon so it's dinnertime for uncle joe. time to retire and think about happy things. one thing i like about this past year, when you said the economy is growing at a record rate. it was shut down! it was at a grinding halt. it will pick up steam coming back from a total stop. you could take a liberal and conservative and say how do the ideas play out over decades? not this year. we have seen lockdowns worked and high unemployment insurance strung out over years worked. we have seen liberal policies play out and it's a resounding failure rate.

joe biden's policy and lockdowns, we have real world evidence. these are failures. look at the states that came back to norm. 12 are red states that embody open policies with the economy. we can see the world around hus. >> jessica, i feel like will was talking to you that whole time. >> we were having a private moment. >> [laughing]. >> that's the bravest man on fox news. >> [laughing]. >> there was a lot of sense to what will was talking about. every month we get more information. started with the kick off of the pandemic. we had people on both sides saying no masks and then we got more information and it's

airborne. there are population issues for blue states. it's different to manage that. we can't spread out here. i can't be away from my neighbor. if i live in a sparsely populated red states i could do. that you need to pay attention to the rise in covid infection rates going up in red states and we have a vaccination problem in those states. with the delta variant coming which is not more deadly but more transmissible that's on our radar. everyone in the hospital right now with covid is not vaccinated. everyone should get vaccinated. taking a victory lap on 850,000 jobs, the most of any presidency on record. we went through a depression. obama inherited a bum deal.

this is more than pre-pandemic levels. >> those numbers include unemployment rising so there is a brokenness to the system. enlighten us to the real numbers we should be reminded about. >> instead of workers competing with each other for jobs employers are competing with each other to attract workers. the government is paying $300 a week extra for people to stay on. you. -- on unemployment. you have a record number of job openings. the job market would be growing much faster if this extra $300 did not exist for the

unemployed. there is a scarsity of workers. people will try to fill up their cars over the weekend and there will be gas stations that don't have gas because they don't have enough truckers licenseed to haul fuel to get it the service stations. joe biden is talking about natural competition, if you look at the states have gotten rid of the extra unemployment benefits, people are falling off unemployment quicker in those states. expires in september. this is an economy or people on unemployment being propped up by the government intertension. the talk about 16 cents last year, because nobody celebrated 4th of july last year.

16 cents will buy you 1/20th of gas -- >> are you upset it will cost $1,000 to fill up your defender tank? >> as a former professional cheerleader it's hard to be happy. i know what i doll with my 16 cents. i looked up at the one year cd. -- by this time next year that 15 cents will be 22 cents. >> you are rich. >> the thing about the economy, it's oddly dependable that you can turn it on and off like an air-conditioner on a hot day. last year we turned the thing off and kept the children away from the switches and then

turned it back on. it's more like a self-driving car our economy. the president should be sitting in the drivers seat but not touching anything. just let it g. the scary thing about joe, he is not behind the wheel. somebody else is. >> yes. he is like the guy in arizona that was on his phone while the self-driving car crashed by wall. >> yes. good analogy. >> up next facebook wants you to report friends over what they post. they are singling out one political party. >> ♪ ♪ why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? hide my skin? not me. by hitting eczema where it counts, dupixent helps heal your skin from within,
