you both, as always. we thank you for being with us. be sure to join us tomorrow. former independent counsel kenneth starr among our guest. please be with us. thanks for breaking news tonight, it has been a day unlike anything, any living american's ever seen. and someone has played with her life. thousands of prothrombin demonstrators swarming and occupying u.s. capital building just as congress began certifying joe biden's election victory. act lawmakers on both side of the aisle have called a disgrace. it all began not long after president trump books were a large crowd near the white house, still insisting the election was stolen. many, if not most of people in d.c. were peaceable. many others, they were not. apparently they were bored and determined and there was of

course fighting with police. riots were declared, hundreds stormed into the capital. a woman was shot and she succumbed to her wounds in the hospital for some protesters got into the house and senate chamber sprayed one guy raised a fist while seated at the desk, and look at this capitol hill police, guns drawn doors and barricaded to repack text lawmakers are trapped inside. got every angle on this historic day covered print versus go to foxbusiness correspondent edward lawrence for his life at the capitol this evening was so much more. now edward i hear the lawmakers are reportedly expected to restart the certification process sometime this hour. what do you know? back any minute kennedy, they are expected to start literally when the senate and house speaker offices over the chambers have been cleared. what is happening now is the mahogany box that actually contains electoral college certificates husband walked back into the house speaker chamber. we have lawmakers for about the house and the senate going

back into their chambers. they are going to restart the debate where they talk about the objection to arizona. they have about an hour and a half left in those debates or so. and then they will come back together for a joint session on the votes and how that ended up and go forward from there. as you know, took a long time. a few hours to clear the u.s. capitol. he went through all the things that what happened, that police cleared the capital but two hours ago. now they are working on the outside now getting all of the people off the streets and off the ground. now all this happening after president trump spoke to the crowd this afternoon. it's important to hear what he told them to march the capital peacefully listen. >> i know everyone here will soon be marching over to the capital building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. today we will see whether republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections.

but whether or not they stand strong for our country. civic what is lost in all of this is what happened before the u.s. capitol police were overwhelmed by all of the protesters. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, actually during his segment in the debate on the arizona criticize the objections over it for just listen to what he had to say. >> it would be unfair and wrong to disenfranchise american voters and overruled the courts and the states on this extraordinarily basis. >> they're going to object to the counting of the vote anyway. and in the process, they will embarrass themselves. they will embarrass their party. worst of all, they will embarrass their country. >> now that all happened before the house speaker and senate chambers were overwhelmed by protesters

inside. now the republicans were objecting said the election did not follow the constitution. senator ted cruz you see their sinks six states bypass legislators, for the election to change the election right before happened burden that is unconstitutional. is either done by the governor or secretary of state. in kennedy i know you like some facts to breed the last time this many people stormed the u.s. capital back in 1814 when the british burned it down. back to you. before and edward i heard the capital is loaded with pepper spray and there's residue all over the place can you still smell it? >> i am not action the u.s. m-uppercase-letter and one of the senate building set is next to the capital. but i am told yes, you can absently smell the pepper sprayed the hallway for there is a thin residue on the walls on the floors but you can also see some of the windows that have been knocked out and some the damage that happened in those hallways on the way to the two chambers their pride there is a definitely a

lingering effect of what happened inside the u.s. capital still going on there. smacks i just want to know, what it feel like? read their reporting what all of this stuff was happening? >> yes. i've never felt the tension before kind of happened. i was outside on the balcony here, looking down on the sea of people in front of the u.s. capitol bread you could see them moving sorted in a mass towards the u.s. capital, up the stairs there. and then all of the sudden everything would into locked up and started getting these messages talk about sheltering in place. stay where you are. stay away from the windows because those protesters had come inside the u.s. capitol. very tense moments forgot to tell you i am from washington d.c. and i've lived there number of inaugurations. nothing has ever, ever happened like this following election. so it is certification. kennedy: thanks about you reporting page stay safe and keep us posted on any changes there tonight. thanks so much edward. >> thank you kennedy.

kennedy: as i said lawmakers were in the middle of debating the certification of joe biden and his future presidency when it all began. many of those lawmakers had to put on gas tasks to stay safe by think about that. our lawmakers sheltering in place of the u.s. capitol building with gas masks on. because a violent mold of so-called patient storm the place for joining me now tom mcclintock, he was in the capital earlier today. so tell me about your experience? and is there anything in your personal history you can compare this to? >> oh no. i lifted the vietnam war era. i remember those protest for this was unique. i was listening to the debate on the house floor. there is a general change in the ambience on the floor. more, conversations going on, a flurry of activity and suddenly the security detail came in with the leadership out of the chamber. it was told we were to stay put the capital had been

breached. the next announcement was tear gas have been deployed in the rotunda we should all reach for our gas masks that are stored nearby. i thought that was just an over abundance of caution until i looked through the main doors of the chamber which were frosted. and there were flashes going off on the other side of those doors. that is when it began to look really strange. they quickly evacuated us out of the chamber, as i was moving down one of the tunnels , i could have sworn i heard on the radio's of the police officers as we are passing by going the other way that shots have been fired on the house floor. >> consummate mcclintock hold me on vice president pence is talking we are going to listen and then get your reaction. >> those who defended our capital today. we will always be grateful to the men and women who stayed at their posts to defend this historic place.

to those who wreaked havoc in our capital today, with violence never wins. freedom wins. and this is still the people's house. and as we reconvene in this chamber, the world will again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy. or even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this capital, the elected representatives of the people of the united states have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the constitution of the united states. semi- god bless the loss, the injured, and the heroes forged on this day. may god bless all who serve her here.

and those who protect this plac place. and may god bless the united states of america. let's get back to work. [applause] [applause] 's move right there you go. the vice president really the first we've heard from him today presoak congress mcclintock. obviously take a very different tone from the president. the president released a video on twitter earlier today basically talking about how great the people were his stormed the capital. and kind of asked them to peacefully leave. oh wait, now mitch is talking. hold on congress more going to listen to mitch. >> on the state of arizona. >> 's objection? student without objection so ordered. >> with the american people, united states senate will not

be intimidated. we will not be kept out of this chamber. bite thugs, mobs, or threats. we will not vow to lawlessness or intimidation. we are back at our posts. we will discharge our duty under the constitution. and for our nation. and we are going to do tonight. this afternoon, congress began the process of honoring the will of the american people and counting the electoral college votes. we have fulfilled the solemn duty, every four years for more than two centuries. whether our nation has been at war, or at peace, under all manner of threats, even during an on going armed rebellion as a civil war, the clockwork of

our democracy has carried on. the united states and united states congress have faced on much greater threats in the unhinged crowd we saw today. we have never been deterred before. and we will be not deterred today. they tried to disrupt our democracy. they failed. they failed. they failed to attempt to obstruct congress, this failed insurrection only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our republic. our nation was founded precisely so that the free choice of the american people is what shapes our self-government and determines the destiny of our nation. not fear, not force, but the

peaceful expression of the popular will. now we assemble this afternoon to count our citizens voted to formalize their choice of the next president. now we are going to finish exactly what we started. we will complete the process the right way, by the book. will follow our precedents, our laws, and our constitution to the letter. and we will certify the winner of the 2020 presidential election. criminal behavior will never dominate the united states congress. this institution is resilience. our democratic republic is strong.

the american people deserve nothing less. kennedy: all right there you go. he is still the majority leader for just a little bit longer but he lost that majority today part obviously very emotional speech from mitch mcconnell there. saying we will not be deterred today. i hope now here's chuckles mcgillicuddy. >> who wouldn't even imagine the experience like the one we have just witnessed in this capital. president franklin roosevelt set aside december 7 covid 1940 from is a day that will live in infamy. unfortunately, we can now add january 6, 20212 that very short list of dates in american history that will live forever in infamy. this temple to democracy was

desecrated. it's windows smashed, our offices vandalized, the world saw america's elected officials hurriedly ushered out because they were in harm's way. the house speaker and senate floors were places of shelter until the evacuation was ordered. leaving rioters to stock these hallowed halls. lawmakers in our staffs, average citizens who love their country, serve it every day, feared for their lives. i understand that one woman was shot and tragically lost her life. we mourn her and feel for her friends and family. these images were projected to the world. foreign embassies cabled home their home capitals to report the harrowing scenes at the very heart of our democracy. this'll be a stain on our

country, not so easily washed away. the final, terrible indelible legacy of the 45th president of the united states, undoubtedly our worst. i want to be very clear. those who perform these reprehensible acts cannot be called protesters. no, these were rioters and insurrectionist. goons and thugs. domestic terrorists. they do not represent america. there were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the capital building and attack our democracy. they must and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. hopefully by this administration. if not, certainly by the next. they should be provided no

leniency. when i think many of the capitol hill police and secret service and local police who kept us safe today. and work to clear the capital and return it to its rightful owner and rightful purpose. i think the leaders, democrat and republican, house speaker and senate. it was speaker policy, leader mcconnell, leader mccarthy and myself who came together and decided these thugs would not succeed. that we would finish the work that our constitution requires us to complete. in the very legislative chambers of the house speaker and senate that were desecrated. but we know always belong to the people. and do again tonight. but make no mistake, make no mistake my friends, today's events did not happen spontaneously. the president who promoted conspiracy theories that motivated these thugs.

the president who exhorted them to come to our nation's capital, ed them on. they hardly ever discourages violence and more often encourages it. this president bears a great deal of the blame. this mob was in good part president trump's doing. incited by his words, his lies. this violence in good part is responsibility, his everlasting shame. today's events certainly, certainly would not have happened without him. now january 6 will go down as one of the darkest days in recent american history. a final warning to our nation about the consecration of a demagogic president. the people who enable him.

the captive media that parrots his lies. and the people who follow him. as he attempts to push america to the brink of ruin. as we reconvene tonight, let us remember in the end all this mob has really accomplished was delay our work by a few hours. we will resume our responsibilities now and we will finish our task tonight. the house speaker and senate chambers will be restored good as new. and reggie for legislating in short order. the counting of the electoral votes is our sacred doozy. democracy's roots in this nation are deep, they are strong, and they will not be undone ever by a group of thugs. democracy will triumph as it has for centuries. so to my fellow americans who

was shocked and appalled by the images on their televisions today, and who are worried about the future of this country, let me speak to you directly. the divisions in our country clearly run deep. but we are a resilient, forward-looking and optimistic people. i will begin the hard work of repairing this nation tonight because here in america, we do hard things. in america we always overcome our challenges. i yield the floor. kennedy: all right there we go predict current majority leader followed by the future majority leader. mitch mcconnell and charles schumer speaking tonight. so top there is plenty of blame to go around. how much does today's damage the presidents, or whatever you'd call it, legacy. >> i am so angry about the

president's conduct over the last 24 hours i probably should not comment on any further until i calm down but i can type this the people who started the capital are not the folks that i know back home who supported the president these past four years. violence in the pursuit of political goals is the very definition of terrorism. the people who stormed the r-uppercase-letter tears they're not good people. and i think that this is an opportunity for all americans to come together and condemn this disgraceful act. this attack strikes at the most sacred act of our democracy. that is the peaceful transfer of power. ever since i was a little kid in grade school they kept hammering it into us. one of the things we're proudest of is americans is the peaceful transfer of power. what happened today was outrageous, it was a threat the most fundamental principles as a free people. and it is a wake-up call that we cannot go any further down

the road that we have been on. kennedy: how much of what has happened over the summer, we sought riots like this antifa certainly in places like portland and seattle and the occupied zones trying to occupy the federal courthouse. and i was one of the people condemning those riots and the violence. i never condemn protest. i think americans have a right and obligation to protest rate this is not back. when someone loses their life and things are taking over by force, as a libertarian that is not freedom. that is not an appropriate expression. or an internalization about the first amendment is supposed to protect. how much of that has to do with what we are as a country and maybe this to be happening if hillary clinton was president trump how much you think this had to do with this in president in the waning days of his administration?

>> as i said i do not want to comment today over the president's conduct recently because i am so angry about it i'm probably going to say something i shouldn't. but i think the vice president said exactly the right town. as did mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. i think they were all pretty much on the same page. i think all of us as americans seem to be on that same page. these were not peaceful protesters these were violent people who desecrated our capital during, as i said the most sacred act of democracy. when we are peacefully transferring power. that is what separated from so many countries over so many years. >> and our country was founded upon and the constitution was written upon rational principle principles. it was completely irrational. i have a hard time seeing that.

my brother text means that is just the beginning of something? is this just day one? i hope to hell not. do not want to see this again per if you would to change something, run for congress. run for city council, write letters. be in a position where you can actually affect change me this is not affecting change. what they did today was to give joe biden a huge gift, last word. >> while i hope it is the end of something. and that is the continuing polarization of the american people. we are united on certain fundamental principles of government. this is called a constitution. the closer he the better off our country is done. we have been drifting from it, maybe this will bring us, maybe this is a wake-up call we need to take a step back, take a deep breath and reconsider the path they are on parts. kennedy: congressman tom emmer mcclintock from california really great state thank you

so much. >> thank you. kennedy: so how to be or to this point? and what on earth do we do now? with talk about tonight's panel we got from the guy benson fox radio show, he is the host also townhall.com political editor my good friend guy benson. begot attorney and democrat strategist michael starr hopkins britain political calmness in my fellow yankee goer anthony fisher. welcome. >> is good to be here. kennedy: anthony went start with you. i see something like this, and i saw the protest and the rights building over the summer. i could feel the fear in places like northern california, like portland like seattle, minneapolis and elsewhere. there is a fear that president trump was going to be reelected. it was this ongoing month long tantrum. what you saw today was the same kind of tension from the other side. anthony even i are both libertarians.

our person is never going to be elected president. but i don't see the liberty minded going in and destroying property and inciting violence because their guy or their gal didn't win. what in jamaica today? >> first off, just like you i condemned violence when it came from the left, when it came from antifa when it came in the black lives matter movement. in those very sympathetic to protest against police brutality. i think this country need an overdue reckoning to deal with. that said, today i don't think had much to do other than trauma. i don't think it had to do concerns about recounts, concerns about mail-in voting. i think this is been a long time coming. i think trump has telegraphed his approval of violence over the last five years for he has signal both in 2016 and 2020 he would not accept losing election result. in this age legal challenge

has been shot down as he lost his support as vice president his head plainly i cannot and will not break the law on your behalf. tings came to a head today. everyone do, people are going to congregate in d.c. today for the certification for this morning rudy giuliani called for a trial by combat. even after the riots. before the capital was cleared , trump tweeted his support of the quote unquote patriots. so to me this is a fully expected culmination of five years of demagoguery and trump support of political violence. see for a right guy your take on this today? >> i think the very best thing congress can do it's exact of their doing it right now per their sing okay, that was horrible, that was horrific, that was disgraceful. we have a job to do, we have a constitution to follow them and election to certify. dammit were going to do it.

in doing so in their chambers ever overtake today tonight and immediately a powerful and correct message. the other thing and somebody points are well taken was built towards this moment. i would say specifically the last few weeks since the november election. the corruption it was rigged and he keeps repeating this evenly suppose it evidences shot down in court or not even presented by his team in court. because they don't have any to justify the rhetoric that he is throwing out there into the ether. less than half were less than half of whom support you on some level. tens of millions of them strongly supports you. there is going to be a section of that group that if you tell

them over and over again, a lie, they're going to believe it. kennedy: it's more than just a lie. we did see that today. i sat in the president's speech. i've always been entertain by the president's speech was and i loved his rallies even though i don't agree with about half of what he says. but i was aboard to tears because i felt like it was a broken record. rand paul said something that i thought was pretty smart tonight, michael we're running out of time you have to do this quickly. is it you want to change the election must go to the individual state legislatures. pieces that is what he plans on doing for your thoughts. >> you know, for years we've heard he doesn't mean what he says. just give him a little room and he will leave office. well, this isn't entertainment we are not his therapist. what we saw on the capitalists edition for the people in the camp over not just democrats or republicans too.

not just numbers of congress with staffers pride text message conversations with people who are interns and staffers and people have nothing to do with the nonsense that is washington politics. this took cowards continue to fester this. at some point we've got have a real conversation about whether going to actually govern or participated nonsense. nonsense is going to keep getting people killed like it did 100 miles away in charlottesville. i'm emotional have to be careful what i say. we can't keep doing this. kennedy: it know it's unsustainable. the countries been pulled apart by a faction of our society this on the extreme for their very loud, they're very annoying, they're all a bunch of baby springtime no longer listening to them. you no longer get to direct the conversation. you can all go home and let the rational people and the adults run things. because you're all a bunch of idiots. all right, man panoply stick around.

coming up today was supposed be the day joe biden was certified as the winner of the presidential election. also some big news out of georgia. everything changed today, it is all next. this is andy reminding me how i can keep my investing costs low and that there's no fee to work with him. here's me learning about schwab's satisfaction guarantee. accountability, i like it. so, yeah. andy and i made a good plan. find your own andy at schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. but there's only one way to become one... by going all in. the new lexus is. with a lower center of gravity, a more responsive suspension, and an aggressive wider stance. this is what we call going all in on the sport sedan.

before welcome back. it is the crazy days still going. with got it all for you. what was supposed to happen today before the storming of the capital, lawmakers were gathered inside to certify the electoral college vote from joe biden for the same time both democrats, or declared the winners of the georgia senate runoff election. huge day. even without the riots. and the party panel is back. guy benson, michael starr happens, anthony fisher. so let's talk a little bit about what happened in georgia, guy. we sought the polling go back and forth over the last couple of weeks. the tiny lead shifting between all of the candidates.

so what was for senators perdue and loeffler last night? back turnout. the polling was useless but it came out who is going to turn out there people put in the democrats had a system, they had a machine. and they have unity. the republicans had a circular firing squad they're trying to overcome. it was is a delicate balance of trying to bring some people back from the suburbs, traditional voters to support a guy like david perdue. while not turning off the trump base in georgia making sure they turned out at the levels or at least close to them working back from november. and trying to thread that needle did not work. and i think that, asa problem for republicans now because they are facing a senate minority with camel harris brickner tyson chuck schumer writing the agenda pray that it's very bad parts not the end of the world bad think there's a worse stuff they would not have votes to pass but some of it they will. we worked very hard to try to convince people to turn out

and vote in those elections by the democrats prevailed. i think it is a microcosm of the problem the republican artist country faced with moving forward and a lot of places you take a look at what happened today on capitol hill, think there's very few people who said that is good but i endorse and support what happens. but the folks who were at the rally the stop the steel rally before it went off the rails, that is a lot of the trump base were as you have got a lot of folks in the middle moderate center that are horrified be the whole spectacle. to beat the left its drug and a challenge the republicans have to grapple with for years. kennedy: you're right about that. there's a big division within the republican party, there has been for some time. it has been clips to for a few years by the division any democrat party, michael starr

hopkins. because you have a people, moderates like joe biden and so far, most of the people that he has nominated his cabinet are pretty moderate except. [inaudible] but summit like merrick garland to be as ag, that's definitely sending a message to progressive's it. so had the democrat party sort of reconciled it to desperate wings question work and can the republican party did the same thing? democrats have been united over the past couple of months. part of that is thanks to donald trump. but what we saw in georgia i think was the blueprint of what were going to see democrats due across the south over the next couple election cycles. strong ground game it was centered on going to her voters aren't turning them out for it and then combining it with an economic message that was unapologetic democrat. talked with the $2000 stimulus checks pretty talked about medicare for all and giving everyone access to healthcare. before you know both of those democratic candidates were opposed to medicare for all? >> that's not technically true.

>> that is technically true that is to pace back literally. >> literally. not necessary from the pulpit he believes every american deserves access to free and affordable healthcare. kennedy: that is not medicare for all. >> we can debate over specifics of it. but you and i both know that healthcare, the economy, and literally coronavirus with the three things they carried democrats. kennedy: there's no doubt the amount of coronavirus damage did to this president. n2 republicans. it remains to be seen if the biden administration is going to do anything different or better. but anthony fisher i want to bring this up because a lot of people have plain shane hazel in georgia for david produce loss. and he only had 2.3% of the votes. that was split between allsop and perdue in november. and you can't blame people for wanting something different

when you run a dim bulb like david perdue, last word anthony fisher. stomach obviously third-party candidates for major party candidates loss is the pathetic battle cry of the loser. those votes are not owed to the major parties brunettes always been a ridiculous notion. it's usually exaggerated the effects. to build on guys point about turnout, i think you have to recognize that the trump base was hearing elections were illegitimate. specifically the election in georgia was illegitimate. may have made them not trust the process moving forward. but also, democrats might be split among socialists and moderates. republicans right now are split among people are based in reality and those who are not. republican, soccer moms in the suburbs of atlanta that may have been turned off a bit by donald trump's absolute refusal to accept reality. through forging a white soccer moms are turned off? i will type exactly why. because president trump are minds of every psychotic boy

for they had in college. that is it. that is the absolute truth better and want to thank the panel tonight, guy benson, michael starr hopkins and anthony fisher rethinks you all it's been a big night. >> thanks kennedy. >> very heavy step thanks for sticky rapid coming up squad member says she's drying up new articles of impeachment against road president trump regis got to accept a disturbing house not going to work out? congressman joins me next. ♪ [ engines revving ] ♪ it's amazing to see them in the wild like th-- shhh. [ engine revs ] for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

[ engine revs ] you work hard for your money. stretched days for it. juggled life for it. took charge for it. so care for it.

look after it. invest with the expertise of j.p. morgan, either with an advisor or online, through chase. after all, it's yours. chase. make more of what's yours. kennedy: welcome back to today's writing capital storm and prompted new calls to impeach the president. progressive squad member in an ill hunt omar said she is drawing up articles right now. will that go anywhere? is there time. freshman california republican congressman darrell i separate welcome back to the show. >> welcome candidate this is my first appearance, is an 18

year veteran freshman. kennedy: did you ever think you would see anything like this when you left congress forever if you imagine coming back. but described today for me. >> 20 years ago, this coming september i was here for september 11 for the chaos there and the confusion. today it was very different. then it was an attack from the air we did not quite understand. today it was an attack by people who should have been great peaceful protesters who should have recognized half of congress was going out of their way to consider their issues on behalf of them and the present. instead it was unbelievable violence and destruction. something i did not expect. seemingly from the conservative right.

>> is the kind of violence that conservatives have condemned all year. and all summer. and even into the fall. and yet, here we all seeing this. it was nice to see that the joint session of congress was back in action. as a display that the work of the people's house will not be thwarted. you have to wonder, what happens to this movement? how much damage has been done to the movement that so many people felt a part of? because they had been so disenfranchised from the political establishment. what happens to that now? >> there will always be those who claim to be part of a movement but are in fact drawn to violence. and they have no place in our society. they have no place in the republican party. so i think that is something that is very clear. they think they are republicans they are not.

the trump republicans are those people who wanted a better america. he wanted to put america first pretty wanted a good, fair deal for the working man. and the reality is that as our go forward. those who agree and are willing to do it without violence will have a place of the party. those who don't, will not. kennedy: what should happen to the president? select the president is leaving office in two weeks. what we are going to do the next few days is shine a bright light on the many, many improprieties that occurred in this election. based on the court actions no went on capitol hill will have a belief we will change the outcome of the election probable changes the debate going forward for real election reform. that is the reality. that is the positive part of the president's legacy. it was tarnished today by those who storm the capital.

by those who sought violence. and by the young woman from san diego who was killed. we are never going to return to joint session the same we would have if they wouldn't let us do our job. so for our right congressman darrell issa, thank you please stay safe there pretty do hope this form of violent protest has passed and people find a different, a nonviolent way of getting their message across. thanks again for your time. >> thank you kennedy. kennedy: it has been with the craziest days in american political history. our very own chad a program, he's going to wrap it up with a bone break it down, next. neighbor 1: allez!
