candidate tim scott will be joining me. i will be filling in for neil, 10:00 a.m. eastern time tomorrow. catch me every day at 2:00 p.m. on the fox business channel, making money, it has been an extraordinarily hectic time, one heck of a stock market rally running out of steam, don't worry i got you covered but for now, here comes "the five." ♪ ♪ >> brian: hi, everybody. judge, jimmy peer norman jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, katie pavlich. 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." ♪ ♪ talk about a friday news dump. a barrage of bad news for the biden family coming on three fronts today. first, the stunning twist of 100 sweetheart deal heard around the world.

attorney general merrick garland, appointing a special prosecutor david weiss us special counsel in the probe of president biden's son hunter. >> upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel. this appointment confirms my commitment to provide mr. weiss all the resources he requests. it also reaffirms that mr. weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently. based only on the facts and the law the law. >> brian: let's try to break this down. keep this in mind. david weiss is the same prosecutor who cooked up the original sweetheart deal that hunter kind of blew up. judge kind of blew it up. involved in foreign business dealings, now we are learning tl

prosecutors expect hunters taxing gun know my tax income . as for the big guy's involvement in the new hunter special counsel, the doj is declined to comment on whether president biden himself is under investigation. so, for now, we are just going to have to take joe at his word he never talked shop with hunter. >> i've never discussed my business for their business, my sons and daughters beard >> i've never spoke to my son about his overseas business -- >> i've never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything to do with their businesses. >> i'm confident. >> i knew you would have a lousy question. >> why is that a lousy question? >> i can tell you it is not true. >> thank you, mr. president. >> brian: republicans ripping into the decision to appoint weiss as special counsel.

house speaker kevin mccarthy warning it better not "obstruct congressional investigations into potential biden family corruption." and other lawmakers agree. >> this was a political decision, not a legal decision. they are trying to put out a fire, and they just poured gasoline on it. nobody in their right mind believes that making him a special counsel of mr. weiss cleans up the mess that has been created. >> it's about time. on the other hand, i have some question about weiss doing it. >> this is an attempt to whitewash the biden family corruption. >> i am very fearful that appointing the special counsel is just an attempt to stonewall congress' investigation of the biden family appeared >> brian: finally, team biden is said to be in talks with his classified special counsel to have personally interviewed. nation secrets stashed in the garage next to his corvette amongst other places.

judge, your reaction to the place, the prosecutor, the same guy david weiss who has looked into this for years? >> jeanine: you know, it is kind of hard to convey my feelings because i am furious. number one, stop laughing, lawrence. number one, this guy, weiss, is compromised. he is untruthful. he is not capable of being a special counsel. number one, a special counsel should be from outside the government, not someone inside the government because this is a conflict of interest case. okay, but more importantly is this. david weiss is the one who put together the plea deal that was rejected by a federal judge. that plea deal was not only a sweetheart deal, it was corrupt. what it is was it gave hunter biden legal immunity in perpetuity. that means for the rest of his life he could never be charged with a crime. now, the amazing part of it is

then why slide and he said but the case is still under investigation. why? because he didn't want the republican house to investigate. so then merrick garland comes out and he says tuesday, weiss said he wants to be special counsel. why? weiss finishes no mike finished his investigation, weiss said he had all the power he needed. he told jim jordan that in june. why today does he need a special counsel? plus he wanted to bathe him in legal immunity, and it gets even better than this. the fact is, this plea deal not only prevented anyone from going forward, but the same guy who tries to pull the wool over the american people's eyes and the federal judges eyes, it's a contradiction. because now he is stopping the congressional investigation by saying this case is still underway, preventing congress again from interviewing all the players. and let me just say one more thing. this is a good news, bad news cycle. we hear about the money from

china that they never got any money in all of that hogwash, and now all of a sudden we've got a special counsel. this special counsel is not in a position to do anything, based upon the fact that the most serious crime has passed the statute of limitations, okay? >> brian: which is? >> jeanine: the five-year statute of limitation on this tax charges, which was the biggest years, the $5 million, $5 million, $10 million, okay? now they can't comment on the pending investigation. now the statute of limitations has run on the most serious crimes. now there is no explanation to joe biden's immense wealth. the man is in government his whole life, his wife is a schoolteacher, give me a break. and weiss is going to issue a report that says joe biden, i have investigated him, and he is clean. there is no question right now that weiss is going to begin

this investigation, cover for the bidens, and say it has all been handled. now it is time for the republicans to move to impeach joe biden. >> brian: jessica, bad day or good day for hunter biden? >> jessica: for hunter biden? bad day. it's ongoing, right? the expectation was there was a plea deal -- yes, and he should have his day in court and all of that. i think any day, especially when you think you are heading into the weekend and you find out you have a special counsel, is probably not a fantastic day. a good thing, i guess, it seems like it is going to be a good day for justice and he is going to be fully investigated. it seems to me that david weiss wanted this now because he wants to be able to charge him in california and in d.c., which he wouldn't have been able to do as a special prosecutor. the republicans yet again are being incredibly craven and contradicting themselves 33 senate republicans signed a letter saying we need a special counsel. half of the g.o.p. conference

signed -- >> brian: but not the same i appeared >> jeanine: that's the whole point. >> jessica: it isn't actually the whole point. there would be a problem except for john eastman and rudy giuliani, they were a special counsel. >> jeanine: david weiss -- >> jessica: he did not. >> jeanine: did i finish? he lied to jim jordan when he said he had all of the power he needed. >> je>> jessica: no. >> jeanine: we know from an october 20202 meeting, business record, prosecute other jurisdictions. >> jessica: not in the room when that happened. david weiss -- >> lawrence: you know what is not a live? >> jessica: that you are cutting me off. >> katie: finisher first. >> lawrence: go ahead. >> jessica: very generous of you. merrick garland confirmed today saying he had all, would have made him special counsel but he did not ask me -- go >> jeanine: he didn't ask because he wasn't interested in

getting justice. >> jessica: that's not true. >> brian: according to the whistle-blower, you may or may not believe, he was told he could not ask for a special prosecutor, that he wanted it, and the whistle-blower said he couldn't do it. >> jessica: admit it know my gary shapley admitted under oath when he testified that he made e requests under the trump doj. >> lawrence: you know what else was admitted to under oath? the prosecution, as well as defense, when the court asked was there any precedent for this deal? they both told the court there was no precedent for this deal. democrats cried when republicans and people that are civil libertarians said this is not fair. this is simply not fair. democrats -- republicans are just making a big deal about this. the court asked them under oath and the prosecution said, we had nothing. that is why the deal was destroyed. so what we can expect as this

case to continue to unravel. not because weiss is some ethical man, it is because weiss' deal got blown up before the court but democrats can save themselves here because ths unraveling before the american people. there is one way to do this. either joe biden can resign right now, give kamala harris the presidency, and then they can have gavin newsom run for office, but the idea that this is over now, this is just beginning now. they could have just conceded. they have talked about unfair justice under the law for years. and all of a sudden, when their guy is elected and as it starts to unravel, they don't want equal justice under the law. i think it is shameful. >> brian: these issues were all in play but ignored in 2020. real quick, this news, joe biden, close to the press, no shocker, i didn't ask for any questions or hear any questions. katie? >> katie: the appointed david weiss a special counsel is a total joke when it comes to credibility.

this is a guy come as the judge laid out, who decided they were going to do this unprecedented plea deal, whether the misdemeanor charges, five years of investigation, the lack of charges, or the diversion program for a gun charge, which would be a felony, in many years in prison for any regular person, especially the illegally possessed gone into a trash can next to school as joe biden and his girlfriend at the time did. how this is going to look moving forward. hunter biden, bad news for him, pretrial release because today the depa justice department saiy cannot come up with an agreement to get him a second plea deal after the first fell apart. we has to be drug tested, get a job, inform the court when he is going to travel. the issue is -- >> brian: case will not resolve short of trial. >> katie: correct vehicle the issue now is now problem. he was getting immunity from the plea deal and the biden defense team in court said no, no, no we

need immunity. now the justice department and special counsel is in this position where this is what they have to investigate. on its face, especially the documentation this week with james comer oversight committee chairman, millions of dollars in foreign money, hunter biden facilitating the money, there is a lot of people politically who have gone to prison for fara violations on a much smaller scale and big questions about whether that is going to happen in because they couldn't come up with a second plea agreement, including the fara charges indicates to me that hunter biden is actually kind of worried about that and for weiss to get his credibility based on the law he is going to have to look at that at some point. >> brian: quick answer. we know comber was going to ask the bidens to come before him like don jr. was asked, we know weiss was supposed to come before the committee. is all of that stop? >> jeanine: yes. that's the whole point. that is how corrupt this is. there is none of this on the level. >> brian: going to fight that

come according to his people, but we will see. thanks, guys. even though it feels like the show is over, stick around. coming up, another huge legal case with implications for 2024. team trump going before a judge today on the former president's right to free speech. stick around. ♪ ♪ with the freestyle libre 2 system know your glucose level and where it's headed without fingersticks.

president trump talking about new evidence. she is instead imposing a more limited order that bars publicly discussing material deemed sensitive by the government. trump railing against the case earlier this week, saying it infringes on his first amendment rights. >> the case is -- is a ridiculous case. is a first amendment case vehicle but we don't want trump to sp speak! so they take away your right to a first amendment. now they sue -- so now i have one of these lunatic reporters back there saying, sir, we would like to talk to you about your case. i'm sorry, i'm not allowed to talk about it. somehow that is not good for votes, do you agree? we say i can't talk. i will talk about it. i will. they are not taking away my first amendment right. >> katie: judge, to you on the first amendment question, and the judge here citing mostly with the president but i think it says a lot the prosecution was trying to get essentially a gag order. >> jeanine: never underestimate the feds. they are notorious for this.

this is a trial about free speech. it is off and running with a prohibition against free speech. and that is the irony of all of this. i understand that what the judge is doing, i do. and in the article eight of the protective order, paragraph eight, it basically says there is certain information, like personally identifying witnesses or actresses, that makes sense. that needs to be prohibited. rules, material, and grand jury material, grand jury testimony, i don't have a problem with that. than what they do is order by the governments filter team come i'm not going to get in the weeds here. but they say there are certain evidence that will be produced at trial is sensitive and donald trump cannot talk about it. well wait a minute. you are going to produce as evidence in a public trial in front of a jury, why can't he talk about it? what are you worried about? you are worried about your case? you are worried about the public hearing the other side? in other than a courtroom setting? with the best part of it is

where the judge is putting an obligation on the part of defense counsel to not allow donald trump to take notes. from the information that he gets from the government. and counsel must inspect any other notes he takes to make sure the defendant, a.k.a. donald trump, hasn't copied down personal information. i mean, this is ridiculous. >> katie: lawrence, not underestimating the fed, not just donald trump talking, they also didn't want twitter talking when they got into president trump's twitter account, saying, subpoenaing this information in anybody at twitter should not tell the target that this is happening, which seems to be problematic. >> lawrence: they also thought he was a flight risk, as well, even though he has 24-hour secret service. i hope the court understands that donald trump is almost fading them to arrest him. he wants to get locked up. he wants that to be the rallying cry for his supporters to say,

look, they have been after me the entire time. i have been telling you this since day one, and by extension, they are after you. he is baiting the court to see how far they want to go. he already thinks it is a sham prosecution and his supporters think the same thing. if you want to see donald trump reelected, throw him in jail. that will be his camp a rallying cry. i would encourage the court, they decide to make this a political process and not a legal process to be careful. we already know she doesn't like trump. if you want to see him get reelected come hold him in contempt of court. >> katie: jessica, how many t-shirts do you think the trump campaign will sell of a trunk mug shot should that happen at some point? >> jessica: he will be getting a mug shot in atlanta. that would be the only one of his indictments he will actually be photographed. yes, i am sure the swag will be fierce. [laughter] but i don't think he wants to

get put in jail. the man doesn't even like sleeping in a hotel, let alone in a jail cell, so i think that he is genuinely and obviously, you know, we are not pals, we don't chat about it, but i think when you look at what he is facing with the four indictments, and putting aside the new york indictment, which i think is not a different kind of level than the other ones, there is real concern, this many counts that you are facing, that you are going to get convicted of something, and i think that is scary for anyone, let alone someone who has had a tremendously privileged and lovely life in terms of how they live, this idea that you are going to be going to prison. i think it was a good thing that this judge mostly sided with the trump counsel just to put it out there that she is not in anyone's bag here, that she can read the order and say this is going too far but i do feel this way, she was very clear again that it is not about a first amendment, that donald trump is not a normal citizen anymore, he is a defendant, there are restrictions.

he has rights, but he is out on bail. he can't do any witness tampering, and she did also say that the trial will be sped up if he goes out and talks about it because the jury pool will be contaminated. >> katie: january 2nd, 2024, right before the primary really starts. >> brian: i just love, the experts, like the judge says, in normal instances, takes two years to get ready, he wants to get ready in six months. what does jack smith care? why do you care, jack smith? just do a good job trying to prosecute and get justice. are you concerned about the election? the justices cannot and will not factor into my campaign on either side. you are not going to factor it in but jack smith is certainly going to factor it in and you really think she is going to wait two to three years to let this happen? i do think he is daring them to put him in jail, but i don't think there's any way he does. chris christie, will hurd, ron desantis can call out the

president, who is competing for him in the nomination and joe biden if he chooses, call out the resident specifically for what they feel he did wrong in these cases and trump is going to go, i wish i could come back. i don't think i can come back from i don't want to get myself in trouble. 11.6 million pages of documents handed over. 2,300 boxes. what are the chances donald trump is not going to say something that this judge finds sensitive? if you want to divide this country like ever before, you take the leading nominee on the right and you throw him in jail leading up to a trial that someday, somehow, will stop, will start before the election. that will divide this country like something we haven't seen. >> jessica: what does it matter if people are going to the polls to elect the next free leader of the world, can committed crimes like conspiracy to -- >> lawrence: the laptop. >> jessica: again, how can having classified documents, like our plans for attacking iran and censoring a hunter biden story for 24 hours

he agrees with you on 80% of the things, why not try to retain those voters? > jessica: i want any possible vote that is available, that is what happened in 2020. a lot of people who voted donald trump came over and voted for joe biden. welcome with open arms. i hope rfk jr. supports joe biden, whose name is going to be on that ballot, and joe rogan makes a good choice and also vote for joe biden. what i am saying about rfk when i raise, you are going on joe rogan's show, rfk jr. is not running the campaign of a man who is serious about winning the democratic nomination. he is serious about getting a lot of clicks, a lot of press hits, but he is hanging out with people who do not speak to the democratic base and doing interviews with them. he is talking about issues that are certainly important but are not top of the list for us. i think the border is extremely important, but when you look at the priorities for democratic motors, the economy, talking about the dobbs ruling, climate change, and he is filming himself down in arizona, that is

not going to get it done for us. also come he doesn't agree with 90% of our platform. what has gone on with him over decades of being anti-facts that has caused his family an incredible amount of hurt and discomfort and difficulty that they have had to come out against him time after time after time, at woody h woody harrelson -- >> brian: he was right on covid, a lot of it viewed >> jessica: he wasn't, he said more people died from the vaccine than the disease. >> brian: said he had no interest -- >> jessica: they probably had rules about it, for instance he would get fact-checked, if he brought up, for instance, that there is water that turns kids trans because of some study with frogs. or whatever other kooky thing he has beard and we have had a lot of people on our network from, byron york has said, it is complete crackpot in terms of these beliefs. it is really a betrayal of the kennedy brand, and i think when he hands out -- >> katie: the problem with the kennedy brand. >> jessica: of the camelot brand of it, which is what he is trying to do.

now talking climate change base for an election so go back and actually tell people what is in the bill and it is actually a climate change green handout corruption bill. and so that is why joe manchin is saying, maybe i will toyed with this whole republican th thing. >> brian: run for president with no labels. >> lawrence: no max before losing his senate seat. >> lawrence: if he runs third td party, is it good for the republicans are no? >> jeanine: i don't who it is good for. manchin has straddled the fence a lot. the crazy part of it, they are celebrating the one-year anniversary anniversary of the inflation reduction act. he is not going to the celebration when he actually signed the bill -- supported the bill. >> katie: biden gave him the pen, remember? >> jeanine: is he ready to ditch the party? no. he says he is ready. the party is ditching him. jim justice is going to win. there is no question about his

couldn't go to the border. kamala is so ditzy she doesn't even know her job is supposed to be overseeing the border. so let's get straight about this. the democrats are intolerant of anyone who doesn't toe the joe biden corruption line. and that's all i have to say about it. >> jessica: but on the other side, donald trump had no primary, the rnc didn't support it, there are no debates -- >> katie: what does this have to do with the primary? >> lawrence: please don't unfriend to me. >> jessica: are not on social media. >> jeanine: she doesn't follow -- >> lawrence: in your neighborhood, have no fear, handyman coming up with the perfect solution. don't go anywhere. ♪ ♪ let innovation refunds help with your erc tax refund so you can improve your business however you see fit. rosie used part of her refund to build an outdoor patio. clink! dr. marshall used part of his refund to give his practice a facelift.

but that is not going to work. once these squatters have the clear residency and it is in the court, if he goes in there to do that, he will be cited for trespassing. he will be taken to jail. i have been covering this for a while, i covered it in florida and pennsylvania, recently in my new york apartment, we have squatters there. there was a vacant apartment, they leave, sometimes in new york they leave the doors open to all of the realtors can go show the apartment. one of the squatters moved in. now they are having to wait until the court system -- and sometimes it can take 6-7 months to get them out. i mean, i like how he has this innovation, but if you think this is going to work in your state come in most cases, it's not. >> jeanine: well, it depends on how bright the squatter is. the squatter might just say, you know, this isn't working, not go to court, not everyone knows what the law is. likely for homeowners in those situations. he says he likes to install the ring cameras in every room. what do you think of that? >> brian: a couple of things. he has a gofundme page come help
