but then there is this social media sensation, covid definitely forced a lot of people to move back in with their parents, maybe they saved money maybe they spent all their money once everyone started traveling again. but there needs to be a time line and kids need to get out there on their own >> neil: fair enough. if my kids are watching, there's no more money, nothing, zilcho. here's the five. ♪ >> dana: hello everyone i'm dana perino along with judge jeanine pirro, geraldo rivera, jesse watters and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is the 5. ♪ >> you don't know yes or no if the laptop was yours. >> i have no idea. >> so it could have been yours. >> of course, certainly. there could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. there could be that i was hacked. it could be that it was russian intelligence. it could be that it was stolen

from me. >> dana: so much for russian disinformation. hunter biden ace lawyers admitting that the contents of the infamous laptop are, in fact, real. and they are now calling on state and federal agencies to investigate the unauthorized access claiming the first son is the victim of, quote, failed dirty political trick. hunter's attorney insists that this does not confirm that the laptop is the president's son, just the data that's been spread widely. so the disclosure is a big black eye for the 51 former intel officials who dismissed the story as russian disinformation right before the 2020 election. >> as i and several of my former colleagues have pointed out publicly that it does bear the hall marks of russian disinformation. >> to me, this is -- this is classic textbook soviet russian trade craft at work. and so all of a sudden, 2.5 weeks before the e leaks, this

laptop appears somehow. >> dana: somehow. so then presidential candidate joe biden used what those intel chiefs were saying to swat down questions about his own son. >> do you still think that the story about your son hunter were russian disinformation, like you said? >> yes, yes, yes. god love you, man. you're a one horse pony. >> there's nothing to any of that. nothing to any of that. it's all a smear. >> there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said what they're accusing me of is a russian plan. >> dana: and finally there's the media who was quick to dismiss the laptop. >> for all we know, these e-mails are made up or maybe some are real and others are fakes. we don't know. >> so we're supposed to believe that hunter biden, in a drunken stupor, dropped off his laptop. >> ongoing russian disinformation effort.

>> whether that meeting e-mail, for example, is real in the midst of this, do you think stuff like that could just have been plantedd in there and been completely fake? >> dana: and so we're supposed to believe, as the famous phrase goes, that the contents of the laptop are real, but the laptop is not his? jesse >> jesse: hunter's like the guy that calls 911 and says someone stole my drugs. your drugs? we were waiting months for hunter to go on offense. we kept on hearing he was building this great legal team and he was going to start hitting back at his critics. so we're waiting. and then last night we get all these letters and the strategy is, i confess, the laptop's mine? and then 24 hours later, he goes, actually, it's not. never mind. it's someone else's. so he's saying they did hold 10% for the big guy. he did get his dad to try to fire the prosecutor and he did take chinese money.

it's like oj saying someone stole my knife. oh, really, your knife oj? oh not my knife someone's knife. let me get this straight. hunter went into he on-not hunter maybe someone stolen goes into the repair shot drops off the lap ton and signs it. it's a contract that says if you don't pick this up in 90 days it's not yours anymore. let me understand hunter's defense. he's saying he might have gone into the laptop repair shot but the guy was blind so he can't confirm it was him or someone stole the laptop brought it to the repair shop forged hunter's signature and forgot to pick it up. so someone stole the laptop that wasn't his and he's saying daddy, daddy, daddy help me. he's like karen. remember those guys who get bounced from the bar in college, don't you know who my father is? he is going to sue the pants off you. he is calling on his father's prosecutors to put his guys in

jail. arrest the guys who stole the laptop that wasn't mine. i've never seen anything like this, and this kills joe biden's defense. joe biden's been saying this whole time we have an independent department of justice. it's totally independent. we don't get involved at all. and then hunter's asking his father's prosecutors to arrest the october surprise guys. they've been trying to keep joe and hunter separated for this entire scandal and hunter just made him a sandwich. not good. >> dana: judge, there are reports that the president's team did not agree with this legal strategy, as you can imagine why. >> judge jeanine: well, first of all, i mean, the fact that they came out last night, wednesday night, and they said that the laptop does, indeed, belong to hunter. but then today it's like, we're not so sure it belonged to him but maybe the information belonged to him. so then who are you representing, you know, if you're saying the laptop didn't belong to hunter. but the craziest part you have

to pull back from all of this. think about what we have witnessed. for two years, the white house denied the fact that the president even knew that his son had any business dealings in foreign countries. we didn't know whether or not that laptop, or we were told it had nothing to do with hunter biden, it was russian disinformation. and who told us this? 51 intelligence agents, agencies. agents, i should say. five of them were former heads of the cia. brennan, clapper. these are people who were given national security information access. these are people who were sold to the highest bidder or the highest ideology. and then social media, the main stream media and everyone else blocked this information from us. this is the -- this is pretty much what they do in third world countries. i mean, america has to step back and realize that we've been

subjected to a fraud. he wants to talk about a dirty political trick? the only political trick was by this white house, this president saying it's russian disinformation. and, by the way, what made them think that they could get away with it? what made them think that they could get away with it is because they were all in on it. >> jesse: they did get away with it. >> judge jeanine: and now -- but not now. and now he wants to say i'm a victim. hunter biden wants to say i'm a victim. you're a victim? you went around europe with a vacuum cleaner sucking up millions of dollars from china ukraine and russian, slept with every woman you could find and you want to tell us you're a victim. you got a diamond from the chinese, a hundred thousand dollars spending money you're sleeping with everyone you want but you're a victim. it's all been a fraud on us. >> dana: what's the media to do now greg? >> greg: i think what they're going to do is shift the narrative so that, we never said it was fake, we just said it was

russian disinformation, and what you know? it can be both because russians will use real material in disinformational ways. that's their way through this. so the laptop, you know, it might be hunter's but it's being exploited by the uggs ares. that's what we were talking about. that is what you're going to hear from every one of those 51 or 52 intel, when they're pulled before a committee, because they have to be. because we have to see what's behind that. what was the coordination behind that. it's the same thing with the bearing of the laptop where you saw this required collusion tech industries, media, chamber of commerce, the democratic party to take out trump. they did the same thing with this like 51 -- they got them together. it's beginning -- i'm beginning to feel like maybe tucker's on to something about watergate. i'm beginning to question everything. and to your point about hunter being a victim, if he had a theme song it would be sympathy for the devil, because his play throughout all of this has been

sympathy. and it's obvious people in the throes of addiction deserve sympathy but the problem with addiction and the problem with drug users and the problem with narcissism, you can't tell the difference. you can't tell the difference whether he's in the throes of addiction or the throes of his own narcissism. so i won't feel sorry for a guy who can't control himself, you know, when he's had so many opportunities to change. and he -- i mean, the guy didn't just sleep with his brother's wife, you know, he slept with the sister of his brother's wife. i don't even think cnn will hire him now. you see the media freaking out about george santos. man, this guy -- santos couldn't hold hunter's jock not that he should. >> dana: no one should do that. no one should do that. geraldo does his legal team not realize this would open him up to discovery >> geraldo: abby lowell is a forceful determined lawyer he's as forceful as they come so

whatever opening is there he will exploit it. but i want to echo what the judge said about john brennan and james clapper and these other men and women with whom we invested enormous respect and trust as the head of our national intelligence, and to sign a document like that which is clearly political, a ploy to distract people, to just lead you away from the real story, which is the disintegration of the life of the first son here. it is so sad to see how his life just turned to such crap. >> judge jeanine: how is it crap? >> greg: tell me how is it crap? he's got away with everything. he's selling art for half a million. he's banging everything. he's going to -- if you think he stopped doing drugs you're nuts >> geraldo: i agree that once a junky always a junky. but what happened to this guy is pathetic. and it reflects on his father. i hope that it weighs on his

conscious. but let me just address very briefly the legal issue here. there is no doubt that computer was abandoned as jesse says is a 90 day contract, he signed it. so the physical computer is clearly the property of the mac repair guy and whoever he made a deal. it is a much closer question as to the contents of the computer. did he surrender his copyright when he surrendered his computer? now there's nothing about the contents in the contract. so i think that if, for instance, you wanted to do a documentary, a damning documentary about the president of the united states and his dysfunctional family, the question is whether or not you can use that material. we are using it cavalierly, there he is smoking crack, there he is with the hooker, there he is doing this, that, and the other thing. but whether or not you can do a commercial on it is another matter entirely. and it will be interesting to

see how, with abby lowell leading the charge, he starts going after everybody now, everybody who has used it, you know, in media and entertainment and comics and so forth, it will be fascinating. but the more he fights, the more he's going to keep this on page one. >> dana: page one indeed. coming up liberals fueling and accusing a college board of ron desantis after they scaled back woke ap classes.

♪ >> judge jeanine: lab rails are losing their minds after getting schooled by ron desantis. the college board removing

controversial woke lessons from an ap african american studies curriculum. after the florida governor rejected them but progressive politicians and media figures are outraged. the college board claims they didn't take into account any political leaders' considerations. but good old gavin newsome isn't buying that tweeting, i called bs. you are merely a puppet of ron desantis. and others are lobbing personal attacks against desantis. >> unfortunately, you know, governor desantis has been very, very clear. he has what just appears to be a white nationalist agenda. >> it's never been about this course. the governor was very clear, african american studies doesn't have educational value. >> he's basically sacrificing the education of a whole generation of people. >> he's trying. >> for his ambition. >> it's a right wing fantasy land. like disney world but in hell. come to florida, the meanest place on earth. >> judge jeanine: okay. all right. i'll start with you, greg.

>> greg: that's a great slogan. i would move to the meanest place on earth. >> perfect for you. >> greg: thing get done at the meanest place on earth. i don't like nice places. >> judge jeanine: is this a white nationalist agenda that's taking out black queer studies, blm and reparations. >> greg: no, because they're very specific about what they're looking at. they're looking at stuff like queer theory and this radical marxism stuff that tends to kind of seep into everything because it's coming out of the campuses and it's now in our high schools. i never thought it would but it's happening. the big story here i think is about education itself. it's no longer a given that left wing proof can freely flow into your classroom or curriculum. parents are truly woke. right? they're woke to the woke. they're not going to roll over anymore. so if you want queer theory for kids you're going to have to fight for it. and that's what this is about. it's not about censorship or banning. it's about, you know what? we're now reading the brain wash

you've been shooting into these books and we don't like it. now you have to defend it. we don't have to defend protecting our kids. you have to tell us why a six year old needs to know about gender affirmation surgery. i want to hear that explanation and they can't. and i think, you know -- i just saw a statistic the other day the number one group for home schooling in growth are black families. >> judge jeanine: interesting. >> greg: that is a great sign. because education has got to change because once there's a competitive element to it through school choice it's over. >> judge jeanine: you know, dana, randi weingarten said that -- she assured us that critical race theory wasn't being taught in the schools and she calls governor desantis a race baiter. >> dana: yeah. that was actually my first point i was going to make is for years i said crt's not even happening but now they're upset because it's not happening? is that what you're upset about. as for governor newsome, he didn't say -- he didn't even write it's bs, he wrote the full

word. >> greg: no. >> dana: yes, he did. >> greg: what did you do when you saw it dana. >> dana: i was outraged. >> greg: did you wash your eyes out? >> dana: no >> judge jeanine: i did. that's why my eyes --. >> dana: i just feel like he looks like he's flailing. if you have to write that in a tweet that's not leadership you look pitiful and it will be interesting to see if he goes to south carolina to compete in a democratic primary in either 24 or 28 because i don't think most people want to go for that kind of leadership. and it's not just because of the cursing, it's just because of this being unhinged. also, the last thing i would say, this is a 70/30 issue and they don't realize it is what you're just saying is that you have more and more people choosing to try something different with their education. you have full states saying you know what? we're going to allow the dollars allotted to each student to follow them wherever they want to go for education. that's a trend that starts in a few states and then it starts to grow. so republicans have a way here to try to make education

something that is an issue that they can show parents they really care about, no matter what the rest of your ideology, the kids matter and in 2024 that election's going to be about them i think. >> judge jeanine: jesse notice how they infuse transgenderism with race. so that if you're -- you know, if you're against it, you're not only a racist you're homophobic. they make it so that whatever way you disagree you're a horrible person. >> greg: it's timesaving for jesse. >> jesse: that's right. get it all in there at once. just call me a bad guy. this country needs more honesty. people have to give ron desantis the benefit of the doubt. like i give joe biden the benefit of the doubt. >> greg: oh, come on. >> judge jeanine: until when? >> jesse: jesse watters sees this story and he says to himself, this is a governor who is now established ap african american history courses for the first time in the state of florida. that is a really good accomplishment. but the view sees this as a

klansman banning slavery being taught in schools. it's insane. if the college board admits, and they did, that the socialism, the empty the prisons, the intersectionality, whatever that means, is too much for high school kids, it's too much for high school kids. do you remember what you were like in high school, judge? could you have handled queer theory as a junior? >> judge jeanine: no, i went to catholic high school, the nuns would never mention it >> geraldo: i cut class. >> jesse: the people who are complaining about this should actually maybe take ap african american studies, they might learn something. and they cut the fat out and now it's lean and it's mean and it's just history which is good. >> judge jeanine: just history slavey reconstruction civil rights. that's in there >> geraldo: the problem is, a politician is interfering with the substance of what's being taught in the school. it's fine when you like the guy,

or now desantis, you know, he's on a roll, everybody's watching with admiration and wondering how far he's going to go and all the rest. what happens if he's the guy you really think stinks. what happens if he's opposite your point of view and here he is and he is attacking curriculum, the province of parents and educators, now he's inserting this political activism in the midst of it. so you say gavin newsome's a dope. what if gavin newsome was doing this? how would we feel if gavin newsome was the one saying that the ap course and something else. >> jesse: they have laws on the books that the legislature passed that you can't pull woke stuff off in school >> geraldo: what law is that? >> jesse: what do you mean what law? they passed the anti woke law in florida. this goes against their laws in florida. >> geraldo: ron desantis is making a political play. he wants to be president of the united states. he understands what greg was talking about how this will impact the democrats as they try

to defend transgenderism all the rest of it. they all know what they're doing. i know what they're doing, too. now it's okay, it's got to be -- >> judge jeanine: you know a political play with be if ron desantis criticized gavin newsome. it's just the opposite. that's the only political play here. >> up next a record number of americans think joe biden's america stinks but everything is awesome according to the democrats. lomita feed is 101 years old this year and counting. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify. go to getrefunds.com.

but what i want to say today is, it is never a good bet to bet against joe biden and this team. never, ever a good bet. >> i'm saying to people that joe biden has earned another term. >> now you can use whatever train met for you want, any one you want but get on the joe biden express now because we are not stopping. >> greg: except to the restroom. sorry chuck looks like the biden express is going off the rails. 73% of americans say they are dissatisfied with how things are going in the country. but the new york times bearded tonight when it paul krug man thinks people are too stupid to understand their own finances. quote will americans even notice an improving economy? end quote. well, jesse, 7 out of 10 people, that's -- can you -- 70 -- >> jesse: wait a second i have to pull this up. >> greg: 70%. yeah, yeah.

are taking pills i don't know about. >> greg: i wish. dana i feel like their slogan is, it could have been worse, right? >> dana: well, that's constant, right? they would love to run against president trump every day. not as bad as that in their mind. this is interesting timing you have a change in the chief of staff. ron klain give him his due, he won, in the tug of war of president biden wanting to be very empathetic and klain wanting to tell everyone everything is great and fine and you know what? afghanistan was the biggest airlift in history and you will like this economy, you will love it. it's going to be the great. and you find out that the train they're talking about stops at inflation station and it's a run away situation. we have recession on the horizon. maybe it is a not going to be that bad. so i do think republicans need to be thinking about this, right? because they're -- democrats are trying to say that any economic whoa that you have right now goes back to the 2017 trump tax cuts. it's nonsense but that's what

they're saying. they're forgetting the spending of covid under both presidents. they're forgetting the inflation reduction act even though that was the inflation promotion act and also the environmental inflation act. i do think, though, that this change in the chief of staff you could see a messaging change as well. because now you have all these investigations, like he's talking about and you have a situation with a republican house. so i don't think you're going to hear all happy talk, except for on tuesday when the president gives the state of the union. then after that maybe not. >> greg: geraldo what do you see in this conflict between what they're saying and the reality around them? >> geraldo: well, i don't see the reality as quite the gap, the reality gap quite as profoundly as you lay it out. i don't think there's going to be a recession, a meaningful recession. i think that afghanistan, in a few months will be regarded as thank god we're not still stuck there. and i think that when you see

james cliburn there, the south carolina congressman, he gave the nomination to joe biden right there, the re-nomination to joe biden and that's it. the rest is just going to be noise. joe biden's going to be running for reelection and, in my opinion, he will be running against donald trump. because donald trump is very difficult to beat. and if you look at any survey of the internal republican numbers, he's the candidate. it's going to be a rematch. two old timers. and maybe i'm the only one that can like translate. >> greg: oh, man. >> dana: what do you speak old timers? >> geraldo: old timers. >> greg: that's a big stage going to smell of relief factor. which by the way really works. >> dana: sponsor. >> greg: respondored by balance of nature. >> judge jeanine: one of them doesn't stink. some advertiser says it doesn't stink. >> greg: that's their logo it doesn't stink. >> judge jeanine: you want to know what i think? this is what i think. i think they have to get themselves all hyped up to come out and say you know what?

there's so much enthusiasm in this country it's wonderful and there's not going to be a recession and all that. and geraldo rivera whether you think it or not i'm not a economist i don't know, but what i do know is that when 81% of people think the state of our union is dysfunctional and they're dissatisfied with it, up from 71% two years ago and, you know, a sizable majority rate economic conditions negatively, 80%, that people may something like -- what is it a hundred thousand dollars a year are living paycheck to paycheck and that 64% of americans, you can call it a good day or you can call it a recession. they don't care what you call it. >> dana: right. >> judge jeanine: eggs are too much, gas is too much. biden can say he brought the prices of gas down but it's still higher than when trump was there and everybody who was in the fossil fuel business knows everything is going to stay high because we have to start buying everything from other countries. and in the tend, no matter how

energetic they are, we're still in a mess and they know it. and the republicans, and i have to say this, i was very impressed with kevin mccarthy yesterday when he came out of that meeting with the president and they said, what did you talk about. and he said i'm not going to tell you what we talked about. he was respecting that communication and that conversation. but even more than that, he talked about the possibility of actual cooperation. and every american, if you felt like i did, was like, oh, my god, maybe we can come together. and if they don't come out with something like dobbs which was really what jackpoted us in terms of the midterms then maybe we will do well and americans will vote the way they feel. >> jesse: let's come together geraldo >> geraldo: kumbaya. come on jesse all together. >> greg: mad about covid crackdowns destroying your livelihood? the liberal media says shut up.

disgruntled about government mandates but aren't we all on the same page at a certain point. i mean isn't it really, i said rearview mirror. i mean, can't we now say that, yes, the vac seems worked, yes the masks works. >> greg: you can't. >> dana: no. >> greg: you can't. because that's what history is for. we will, for the next hundred years, be debating all of these variables and no one's really going to have -- there's no absoluteism. there's no objective truth whatsoever in anything that you just -- like masks, one day you will a get a study that says it might work the next you'll say it doesn't. can cure 88 any kind of study you want to get answers. you just said the vaccines work. they don't work as a vaccine they work as a therapeutic. and they don't stop the spread they might reduce the severity which makes them good. but finding out shouldn't have given it to young people this was for the old and the obese. we kind of said that in the beginning on our show. we were talking about the comorbidities are age and obesity, smoking and we're

treating everybody like one person because we're all scared of being, you know, we don't want to be fat shaming, we don't want to get mad at anybody. so right now weirdest spot we learned all of these lessons and we're coming to -- it's never going to end but i think the media doesn't like the resentment because they were pushing the wrong ideas and so they don't want to be called out for being wrong. that was the washington post headline >> geraldo: dana, i remember suggesting during the, really the raw first months that we just got the vaccine, we missed the election, i think trump lost the election because the vaccines were delayed, but the fact of the matter is that i wanted to name the vaccines after trump. >> dana: that's right >> geraldo: i wanted to call it the trump because i was so proud that he had hustled to get it done. i mean, why can't we applaud that. >> dana: one of the things that was impressive about that effort and even the biden administration and the democrats would say this in honest company

if they were willing was that his pushing of the pharmaceutical companies was really something you had not seen before in government. right? someone who said i am going to cut this red tape, i want to get this done. i think one of the mistakes, even though i absolutely understand why they called it operation warp speed, i think calling it warp speed made it sound like it was not safe. and now some people might say it's not safe now. i do think what you said is very true, right, for the elderly and the obese, it definitely helped either prevent death or made it a little bit less severe. but still millions of people around the world have died. and not only that, look around even here in this neighborhood, there are businesses that have never come back. people who had their small business who had to close. we to one guy in pennsylvania near philly, a family restaurant, they had it for 35 years. they followed every restriction for covid protocols, couldn't get workers back. they ultimately had to close the
