maria: my thanks to dagen mcdowell and shawn. great to see you both. >> thank you. maria: have a great day. we will be back bright and early tomorrow morning. sees the day. here is a "varney & co." stuart: i am doing my best to seize it radically. a good morning. there are two issues which dominate our turbulent politics, the impeachment of the president and his removal from office and the censorship of conservative opinion, the canceling of the trumpet presidency. the democrats have introduced about charge that the president provoked of the violence at the capital. the house is expected to vote on this tomorrow and a vote to impeach is considered likely. this presents the incoming biden administration with a real problem. they look forward to the future to get things done, but if they look

to the past to continue the hatred of donald trump took the ball is in job biden's court. censorship, big tech, social media and major corporations have combined to deny conservatives free speech, banning the president puts the country in an intellectual straitjacket, only officially sanctioned opinion is now acceptable. there is no democracy without free speech and free speech is being denied. today's developers, the fbi is warning that armed protests in all 50 states as we run up to the january 20, inauguration and it later this morning president trump leaves the white house and travels to texas, visiting the border. this may be one of the last formal appearances of the 45th president. one more development, and it's a negative for president trump. the patriots coach bill belichick's refuse to accept that medal of

freedom amid the protest of the dc rights. stocks are flat to slightly higher, pretty much across the board. we have a slight drop for the nasdaq, modest again for the dow industrials following yesterday's selloff after a four-day winning streak. the dow jones is real close to make 31000. extraordinary volatility in bitcoin continues. we saw price of $42000 less friday, below 30000 over the weekend and now back to almost $34000 per coin. 3370 on a bitcoin. also ahead in new york city bar owner try to make history by selling his two bars for bitcoin , the owner is here. big lineup.

stuart: get on the good foot says a james a brown. let's talk-- try to do that are starting off with new york after months of shutdown new york's governor andrew cuomo now says quote we must reopen the economy. listen to this. >> we simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine is-- his critical mass. about cost is too high. we must reopen the economy smartly and safely. stuart: that-- to me, that sounds like a change of tune for the governor, a real reversal from governor cuomo. we have vaccine news, president-elect biden once 100 million vaccinations within his first 100 days. dr. bob lahita is joining us right now.

doctor, we believe the plan will be unveiled today to extend the eligibility of the vaccinations. would not speed up the vaccination process, which appears to be slow? >> yes, stuart, correct. there is no longer the belief that people giving the vaccine are limited supply, although , they are in some places, but we need to increase the amount of vaccinations particularly for people over the age of 75. we have been giving it to police, fire, ems workers, all the doctors and nurses that i know that were going to get it has gotten it, many have gotten their second doses such as myself and we are doing extremely well, stuart. i hope he expands the people in the numbers as soon as possible. it will help the economy. stuart: there is some talk, also , to use the second dose as a first dose to get the vaccines out there to people much more

quickly. would you approve of that? >> now, i would not. i agree with doctor anthony fauci that there is no science to show that the second dose should be eliminated from those who have the first dose because the booster is essential, at least that's what the science tells us come about the second dose given within a certain time range, of course, is a consensual to boosting immunity, which is what we need. >> i think we need the vaccine to be effective. stuart: i'm going to have the same question as i asked 10 days ago when you were last on the show, why are some healthcare workers up to 20% in some places saying no to the vaccine? to me, that's inexplicable. what's your explanation for this? >> here and a lack of education. i think if you are a

physician and have studied immunology and know the ropes and you know the mechanism of action of this very safe messenger rna vaccine, talking about pfizer and moderna with another new one coming along from astrazeneca, if you know the science and how things work you cannot possibly be afraid and you know that you get a immune response that will be good for at least, i'm told, five years, so there's no reason for 20% of healthcare workers to deny the vaccine, especially sense you would rather be alive than dead and we are right up front face with all these patients who are really really infected and this is a really the only way to work safely and feel comfortable at the end of the day going back to your family. stuart: you put it bluntly, doctor. better to be alive than dead. dr. bob lahita, come back soon. >> thank you.

stuart: checking the markets, looking at a mostly ever so slight loss prevention across the board.. mike murphy is back with us, market watcher. mike, again, same question, impeachment, big tech censorship and president trump leaving office and yet we have a rally with the dow jones almost a 31000. explained for our viewers. >> it may take longer than we have. good morning. i think the market is looking past all of the political lines out there. when you go back and i said this yesterday majestically back throughout history, we have had a lot of pricing in our history with a lot of the american republic has dealt with a lot of different times from the civil war on down, but when you look at the stock market, the stock market typically continues to move higher, higher on a regular basis, so i

think the market will be fine. we talked about it, with president biden in office the market will be fine. if they raise taxes the market will be fine. the one thing that jumps out at me as big tech. i have been-- i own most of big tech and how for a long time and i think any pullback is the time to buy the companies, but things have changed in the last couple of weeks. if big tech is going to be censoring people based on their political beliefs, it really changes the paradigm completely. i have not sold anything yet, but i'm watching it closely. stuart: on that note, we have president-elect biden proposing a big increase in the tax on us companies foreign process, he wants to go from 10 and a half percent tax to 21% tax and that would seem to hurt big tech global companies. >> it would and when you look at it, anytime you raise taxes on a company

is going to impact their bottom line, which will impact the share price, ultimately. i don't know that he gets that past, but i do know that these large tech companies or any large multinational company has been down this road before with administrations coming in and raising taxes on them. it's not something new. they have dealt with it in the past and figure out ways to be more tax efficient and they have continued to increase their earnings, so short-term it's not a pretty picture, but it's not going to stop this market rally because the underpinnings are too strong. stuart: mike murphy, still buying the dip. thank you. see you soon. parler is assuming amazon for suspending thereat. details, lauren before we saw this coming. parler says they are being blackballed by amazon accusing them of breaking antitrust laws

and being motivated by politics. it compares what amazon is doing to and i quote that you: pulling the plug on a hospital patient on a life support. it will kill parler business at the time infected skyrocketed before they were shut down, parler was number one on the apple app store. amazon has given this response. it's clear there is a significant content on parler and encourages and incites violence against others and parler is unable or unwilling to promptly identify and remove the content, which is a violation of our terms of service. this is not the end of story, stuart. stuart: no, it's not, but for the moment it looks not in good shape-- that's parler. there are more corporations halting political donations and some are singling out republicans. me the list are to the list continues to grow and grow. the biggest so far they spoke at announcing a

pause of political donations for at least the first quarter of the year. even the professional golf association, pga is pulling its 2022 championship tournament from bedminster which is owned by president trump, second time in five years the pj removed one of its events from a trump golf course. corporate america facing backlash from the events on capitol hill last week. leaders to pay more attention to where their money goes after critics pointed the finger at their alleged complicity with political donations and silence. many of the companies approved of the trump administration tax cuts and deregulation. big reason the stock markets are closed to record levels, but after last week's violence i think there has been a rethink in the corporate board rooms. stuart: sure looks like it. thank you. now this, las vegas founder sheldon adelson has died. the company announcing

he passed away last night. he was 87. he passed from complications related to his treatment board non-hodgkin's lymphoma. plans for a memorial service in las vegas to be announced at a later date. sheldon adelson. now this, in my opinion, this is my opinion here, the ball is now in president-elect joe biden's courts. he could either continue with the toxic politics of impeachment or move the forward with his agenda. you will hear more on that it might take which comes up at the top of the 11:00 o'clock hour. of the house of representatives said to vote on impeachment. what was arizona congressman andy biggs think about that? will it pass, will he be impeached, plus he's a border guy and i will talk to him about the present final chip-- trip to the southern border. checking the markets again, all on the downside, but not by much, dead flat.

investing? ashley: well, it could and there's a connection to that, but let me get to this first. walmart says it's going to provide unique and affordable financial products for employees and customers, but so far we don't have the name, what it will offer or when available. we do know that walmart deals with millions of customers everyday. we know some of whom don't have a bank or financial advisor. walmart offers prepaid debit cards and a service that allows customers to buy items immediately and then repay it in installments in this new venture walmart will partner with rivet capital, one of the investment firms behind robin hood. we still have a lot more details to be divulged before we know-- it makes sense i think for walmart with exposure to some a people. stuart: it sure does. ashley, thank you.

the house is planning an impeachment vote for tomorrow. andy biggs joins us now. congressman, do they have the votes, a majority vote on the impeachment vote tomorrow? >> i believe they do probably, stuart. i mean, they have been wanting to impeach him for a long time, but this recent events has provided impotence for them and we will do it 25th amendment resolution today, sometime today, probably. i think they have the votes for that. of the short answer would be yes, they have the votes. stuart: will they get any republican votes to use the 25th amendment or for impeachment? >> i think they will probably get a few on the 25th amendment resolution. might even get a handle on the impeachment, but i'm not sure how many would defect for impeachment. that's a pretty long step to take with a week left to go in president

trump's administration. stuart: do you think it likely that the senate will take this up before the nine duration? >> i think so at all. it's hard for me too conceive them that happening. i think-- there's probably not even enough time. nancy pelosi is even considering holding onto the resolution and ascending it two or three months from now so who knows what she will do with it. she just wants to say, president trump is the only president in history that has been impeached twice. stuart: the bottom line is that the toxic politics continue. >> that's exactly right, and i keep saying if you really want to heal this thing president-elect biden, you can say don't waste your time on either the 25th amend the resolution or impeachment because as you know, stuart, it's obvious there are smoldering embers in the country in the last thing you need to do is pour gasoline on that

and that's exactly what they are going to do. stuart: president trump heads to the southern border today leaving the white house about 30 minutes. it will be his last trip to the southern border as president. my question is, what happens at the border as that-- after the inauguration when the first caravan arrives? >> well, i'm afraid to say-- i must say it, right now, we are turning away due to title 42 and the policy president trump enacted, we are now turning away more than kim across during the 2019 a surge and that's from me talking to dhs officials what i am told is if the president-elect biden, which i believe he will, so if the biden administration takes the position they will eliminate title 42 policy, we will be as a nation overrun immediately. there are groups of amassing on the other side of the border and

cartels are advertising again. ngos are advertising can , so more caravans will come with more people coming in. stuart: looks like a return to four years ago. congressman andy biggs at, thank you. now, we have democrat congressman who has tested positive for coronavirus and now she blames a summer publicans. lauren, what is she saying? lauren: she is blasting her gop colleagues for not wearing masks when she was and i will use her words here, locked down in a secured claim at the capital where several republicans, not only cruelly refusing to wear a mask, but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one. she had been sheltered in place with about a hundred other people for hours and she likens that to a super spreader and now she wants every lawmaker who refuses to wear a mask in the capital find and removed from the floor we don't

know who was or was not wearing a mask, but that's her account of what happened to. stuart: and that's when she was done, all right. thank you. back to the markets. it's still a very tight race between up and down. may be up 30 points for the dow jones, up on the nasdaq, but basically we will open pretty flat. back in a moment. ♪ time to start brushing with parodontax toothpaste?

stuart: we are looking at a fairly flat open market, modest gains across the board. jason katz, market lost her with us. same question i have been asking for a long time, impeachment, sensor sip, the president leaving office and we have the dow close to 31000. explain, please. >> this position between our daily lives on the market is really something else. there isn't a day that goes by that i'm not passed by my investors what's with the divorce between main street and wall street, how can we how what is equivalent

to a 9/11 and day and yet the market rallies, how can we have a siege on the capital building in the market not selloff and frankly the state forward answer is that the economy is simply not the market the market is made up of constituency of extremely well-capitalized companies that can't thrive in a digital and remote ending in person economy. above all, we now have a sealed liquidity on top of an avalanche of liquidity we have that we are likely to get more stimulus. stuart: have you pulled back on your bullishness? a few weeks ago you were looking for a gain of 10% in 2021 of the s&p, but now you are looking more towards a 5% gain, cooling off a little, jason? >> part of that is the fact that the market has rallied, but that said we haven't necessarily become bearish. we had pivoted in terms of where our bullishness

resides. i think the home bias we have had in investing in the us stock market, which has served us well for a decade still has modest upside, but where the value really lies is emerging market and international market because they are more levered for global recovery, much more levered for a flat to weak dollar. the dollar denominated, export economies, industrial economies and in the valuation disparity is pretty telling. we uphold forward a lot of performance in the us , not so much overseas, but i think we can get to my 4000 by year end which is another 5%. stuart: yes, it is. jason, i noticed president-elect biden wants to double the tax on foreign profits made by us companies to my 21%. i would have thought that would hurt the big-name big tech companies.

what to say you? >> that's one of many tax proposals that in the long run will come home to roost. the market is focused on the short term that liquidity is much greater than any potential tax hike, so yes regulation of the big tech, taxes all coming to contend with. stuart: okay. thank you. we will see you later and they just started ringing the bell. we are starting to trade and we have moved to the upside. left-hand side of the screen is the split decision, just over a third of stocks in the dow 30 up, almost two thirds are down. you have a split market right there for the dow industrials. actually up 26 points in the first few seconds of business and as for the s&p 500, that has opened a slightly higher, just like the dow jones. i think it's the same story with the nasdaq even though you have a weakness in big tech we have the nasdaq up almost a quarter of 1%.

when outstanding stock this morning's console energy up nearly 5% ashley, there has to be a good reason for a big move in an energy stock like that. ashley: there is, it's because david einhorn, one of the most watched hedge funds managers reports close to 12% in consol energy and passive meaning a long-term investment, a buy and hold the strategy of which he is famous for, but it's especially interesting as consol is a pennsylvania-based coke company and an industry we know has been targeted by the incoming biden administration, but it didn't really come out of left field. there has been a long-running interest in consol with the stock up 4% this morning. stuart: fascinating move. he knows what he's doing and he's real-- moving to an energy coming related to try for.

interesting. zoom and lemonade on your screen among both stay-at-home companies. they will sell more shares, tommy moore. lauren: they are using the huge stockings they saw in 2022 raise money for 2021. zoom is selling 1.5 billion in new stock shares up a little bit, up 360% in the last year, so that is the point that it's been such a winner. same for lemonade and to remind you they are mobile insurance provider with another 3 million shares just six months after their ipo. the stock is 169 and they priced at $29. both companies say they will put the money towards quote general corporate purposes, so they are investing in themselves. stuart: bring in the money while you can. thank you. let's look at twitter. the stock was down after they banned president trump, but they had made

something of a recovery took i guess this is called volatility, susan. susan: 2% in the premarket as well so some decent returns after losing $5 billion in market monday, down 6% say bit of recovery. when we saw the major competitor parler shut down and they are suing amazon, but there are competitors that if you lose one of your most popular user some have argued the president has been a great salesperson for twitter and now that he's off the platform, what is that mean for daily user engagement and activity. open up pandora's box and you kick off one global leader what is it mean for others? stuart: fair question. twitter@$40 a share as of this morning. we have chip maker; doctor tsm c and they

are at morning over 1%. i don't particularly care about that stock, susan. is their partnership with intel. susan: they are falling behind and they have been under-- underperforming at risk at losing more business so to keep up intel is teaming up with them to make the second generation graphics-- graphic chips. the important partiers that possible outsourcing. we know intel is the last american chip maker to manufacture its own chips and that's the reason intel has been losing ground to nvidia. let's see where the partnership goes and see what it means for actually making chips in this country. stuart: susan, talk to me about neil the chinese electric car company because they have been all over the place. they got a drought-- downgrade? susan: from a buy to a hold and

the reason is that city doesn't think they will be as big of a threat to tesla as other analysts do. we know their first sedan was introduced over the weekend and despite the fact that the new battery tech was impressive-- impressive as they promised to go twice as long as tesla your knee oh is raising stock so when you raise cash you obviously dilute the stock and there is more offering on the market with more supply. stuart: is it still all about batteries, susan? susan: obviously because that's the majority of the bulk of the cost in electric cars in the battery itself and if you can bring down the cost, that makes it more economical and possibly in line equal to what you pay for gas powered cars. stuart: lower cost, more range, up you go. now, we have uber and moderna, strange combination that they are teaming up to help

people get the vaccine. what are they doing? lauren: you can book arrived to where you will get your shot, but moderna will tap into uber platform to text reminders and even offer education about their vaccine speared the point is, everyone wants to get out of lock down but the only way we do that is heard community and the only way to do that is if people trust the vaccine and roll up their sleeves. so far more than 9 million americans have been inoculated, but that's not enough so we need to build trust and get the shots out and people willing to take them. stuart: yup and get them to the vaccination places. thank you. the 10 year treasury yield, look at this, 1.16%, extraordinary. i don't know if that is bullish or bearish for stocks, but it's an enormous move in the bond market. the price of gold is down this morning, still way below $1900 per

ounce and oil-- i was going to say not much movement, but that is wrong, $52 a barrel is the price of oil. back to bitcoin, it's been a wild a few days, susan. susan: while you were away bitcoin fell by 25% over a quarter from friday to monday. remembered the record was about 42000? a few reason why they fell back. 40% surge in the first week, one week in the year and i promise its profit taking and also since this week is hopefully more calm and uk watchdog warns investors if you invest in bitcoin you could lose all your money. i'm looking at something below 30000 and then i will think about it. stuart: okay, is that a threat or a warning from the britts? you could lose all your money.

now when people point our attention to ayatollah khomeini tweets in a wrong. the company was reluctant to get into the business of taking leaders off the platform and i think what we have witnessed is putting the president on that naughty list, putting caveats on his tweets and it begs the question , when we saw fortunate to be separated by an ocean, but when i saw those images of people screaming, it sent a clear he impression through me that i think it does make us think wow, they just need to calm everything down, so i can perfectly understand your concern. it does represent the fact we are in a singular moment. i don't think any of us enjoyed and could never have predicted it. stuart: reuss, i think you are referring to the shouting of

hanging pants, not paying trump. >> forgive me, yes. stuart: do you think social media, twitter, facebook is nasty to president trump because they want to get in with the incoming biden administration, which may well write late them? >> almost certainly regulation is coming almost everywhere around the world and i think there's a recognition of it we have seen comments from mark zuckerberg where he said to some extent he welcomes red dirt-- regulation, but it begs the question who will be the regulator. if that becomes politicized than we could see something even less agreeable than what we have now, but i think regulation is coming everywhere around the world as we recognize these decisions as much as it might be a private business, they have the right to throw me out, but we are recognizes private businesses don't feel the right decisions

to be made and i think those businesses recognize it. they would love to run their business without getting involved in this political drama and i suspect they welcome some degree of oversight. stuart: twitter has suspended over 70000 accounts. do you know what that is about. >> looks like they are the-- we've seen the representative in the station of something that has not hold up to anything basically. that allegations have reached mainstream media because they don't seem to be substantiated, but it seems some of the fervor we have witnessed in the course of the last few months have been down to this conspiracy and i do suspect when we look at the analysis we will find there are foreign governments involved in trying to stir the fervor behind the story. stuart: got it, bruce daisley,

there is some red on the screen. green for the nasdaq. red for the dow and s&p. just breaking, the jolts, job openings numbers, what is the number, susan. susan: 22.572 million in november. that is pretty strong. stronger from the october openings of 6.2. labor report showed 245,000 jobs were added to the economy. the fact that you have over six 1/2 million job openings that need to be filled, i think that is encouraging. stuart: sure is. thank you, susan. no response, immediate "response from the stock market. we still got a mixed picture right this. now this. since when has it been okay for two extremely wealthy people to dictate what the rest of us can see and hear? that is what is happening right now. jack dorsey at twitter, mark

zuckerberg at facebook, they are banning president trump and he stays banned when he is no longer president. even germany's leader, angela merkel, no friend of mr. trump, suggests that his banning is quote, problematic and so it is. this is political bias in the extreme and so is the decision of many big businesses to cancel any association with president trump. it seems we are being forced into an intellectual straitjacket where only one opinion is allowed. don't stray outside accepted opinion or you will be canceled and shamed. why are they doing this? in my opinion it is an attempt to curry favor with the incoming biden administration. it is no secret that big tech is under attack. what better defense than to support the new power in the land in the hopes of getting a light touch from the regulators of the future. it is reminiscent of political correctness which restrictions opinion, being pc does not solve

problems. it just covers them up. actually makes them worse. bottomed line here is that censorship is destructive. that cannot be real solution. there cannot be real solutions to real problems if debate is restrained. that is exactly what is happening now. it is a dangerous moment for our democracy, without free speech, real free speech with without freedom to defend democracy dies. slowing ban at "the washington post" of all places is this, democracy dies in darkness. we should all remember that. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪. stuart: all right, will cain is with us, coanchor, co-host i should say of "fox & friends

weekend." will, great to have you back again. you heard what i i got to say. what do you think? i think this is extreme political moment because it ex-extreme political censorship that bothers me. what about you. >> it is absolutely dangerous. so much power in the hands of so few, zuckerberg, doors i, would add bezos. i focus on the why. i like your take. why is this happening? i suspect in the short term to get a light hand, a light touch from regulators. but what i would say how long until the shoe is on the other foot? that might be a short-term goal. doesn't take much of a stretch of imagination, doesn't take much foresight to see in the future politicians going hat in hand to the technology companies. politicians going hat in hand to the billionaires. we've seen the favors these big tech companies can do for politicians. suppressing the hunter biden story. shutting out a political

opponent in president trump. it may be right now the why is getting a light touch from regulators t won't be long, stuart before it is reversed where the politicians are answering to the tech companies. say what you will about our electoral politics. there is at least a check at the setting box. with these tech companies, with these billionaires, there is no check on their power. stuart: that's a fair point, will. good stuff. i will talk about this in our next hour, i believe the ball, political ball, so to speak is in joe biden's court right now. i can either revert to the toxic politics of the past, trump hatred written very large, or, he could try to unify us by getting rid of that past toxicity and moving forward in a positive way. the ball is in his court. which way you think he is going to go? >> we've already seen indications which way he is going to go. he gave a speech talking about economic relief for coronavirus lockdowns. he talked about helping black

businesses, latino businesses, native-american businesses women-owned businesses. the point he is dividing us already based on our superficial characteristics. i suspect that will go hat in hand being politically looking for retribution. creating that climate. continuing that climate of political retribution against president trump. i think it will continue to divide us. stuart, if i might, one more point on your take at the beginning of this segment. you talked about being put in a intellectual straitjacket. you're absolutely right. we'll have one party control for the next two years, but what we are is a one point of view society. not just with big tech. it is halls of academia. college campuses. corporate board environments. it is everywhere. you said it right, stuart, it is not going to solve these problems. it is going to exacerbate, by shutting people out you will fan the flames of our dissent and disagreement.

further radicalize, that will invite more control and more authoritarianism. stuart: i agree, will, we're in sync on this. will cain everyone. thank you. quickly to the markets. have another look at them please. there is no clear direction this tuesday morning. down for the dow, up for the s&p and nasdaq. it just changed. you have a narrow trading ban. scott shellady joins us this tuesday morning. scott, this jolts number, 6.52 million josh openings, just as the economy actually loses jobs we've seen in the latest reports. what is your reading on now? >> obviously there are jobs going wanting for people. but those might jobs that need more training and different type of jobs what we already have we're slaughtering with the lockdowns. i've been talking about what has been happening in big buildings i'm in right now with the four restaurants on the ground floor which are all shut.

that is the same way with all the canyons of buildings in new york and chicago. finally came to fruition. i hate being right, stuart, but we had 500,000 jobs lost last month in leisure ands who hospitality. they had right to work taken away from them. right of free assembly taken away. the government can't get together 600 or $2,000. i'm against stimulus checks. i'm for opening up the economy but when you make the decision back in march to shut the economy down this is the repercussions as a government you have to take on board. now that feeling that i had back in march when i thought everybody was losing their minds, canceling the nba, canceling the ncaa tournament, canceling st. patrick's day god forbid i got in the car went to scottsdale. i had that same feeling yesterday. people were losing their minds.

i don't understand what is going on. how can you have big companies upset half of their employees, half their customer base turning their backs on. what are they doing? they're going together quickly without thinking about reper repercussion. half of your company will probably be conservative. half your customers are conservative. you can have a problem with the customers. this is vindictiveness. you said curry favor with the big tech companies. it might be a currying favor, acting like a bully does not curry favor. this is vindictiveness. why are you trying to get rid after sitting president with nine or eight days left in office. just because. that is the problem. it is so venomous i think it will be a big problem. stuart: because they hate him. you can almost feel it. it is a palpable emotion that is out there. scott, i'm out of time. thanks very much as always for joining us. see you real soon.

stuart. stuart: we asked for some big movers. you gave us big movers. that is good stuff, lauren. while big tech crack down of president trump, alumni from those same companies are joining the biden administration. tell me more. susan: former executives from facebook, amazon, twitter, joining administration in budget, national security, among many departments. amazon former international tax director tom sullivan vetting state department deployments. emily horn brokering white house national security council. mark swartz, formerly of amazon web services he will help vet appointments in the budget office. the list goes on and on. we're not talking about famous, high flying executives, these are not top executive positions but after silicon valley clamped down on president trump accounts, long list of silicon

valley execs working in the biden administration, i think that fuels criticism there is conservative bias and lean for one particular administration over the other. stuart: that banner on the bottom of the screen should read, big tech for biden. that is the way to express it. susan, thank you very much. the fbi is warning armed protests may take place at all 50 state capitols ahead of the inauguration. i will ask homeland security's ken cuccinelli if they're prepared for this. how do you prepare? mainstream media once again downplaying antifa riots. we'll show you the tape. remember the media pandering to president-elect biden? watch this. >> how can you assure americans that relief will come and come soon? >> you all ask the most interesting questions. >> ask a question -- >> ask about ireland anytime you want. stuart: well, now, it is social

immigration, caravans coming to form if able to get through. talking about the tremendous, the wall has made tremendous differences on the southern border but stuart, i don't know about you, this is the first time in a long time that president trump has spoken to the preys when he is boarding marine one. stuart: yes. he has been very quiet and we're going to bring the full tape. i think about three or four minutes. as soon as we get it we'll play it for you, to see what the president haas to say. susan, he has been quiet since the election. certainly since riots in d.c. now this, separate case, google hit with a lawsuit from one of youtube's rivals. what is this all about, lauren? lauren: another suit that hits google for anti-competitive behavior. the flame of the company is rumble. canadian, popular among conservatives. they say google abused the p youtube in search results. e makers, install youtubeeal for

the app on devices. the lawsuit says all of this deprived i have of viewers and revenue of $2 billion. google denies the allegations. now you have another headache for big tech, these are smaller, conservative rivals, rumble is not only one hitting big tech for being monopolies and causing harm with anti-competitive practices. stuart: sure. i mean censorship of conservatives. that is the way i see it. i think it is rather clean cut to be honest with you. lauren, thank you. internet provider blocking access to facebook and twitter because of quote, censorship concerns. ashley explain all of this to us. where is this happening? ashley: it is happening in north idaho. the spokane, washington area. internet provider t-1 wi-fi decided to block twitter and facebook after the company received calls about both websites engaging in censorship

of customers and information. the internet provider sent out an email to customers saying in part, our company does not believe a website or social networking site has the authority to censor what you see and post and hide information from you. stop you from seeing what your friends and family are posting, but, in the late development, the company now backtracking saying that the websites would only be blocked for customers who asked. apparently that move by the internet company, stu, could have violated washington state's net neutrality rules which explains why it backed off a little bit. stuart: okay, but the argument continues over censor ship. thanks, ashley. i think big tech is pandering to joe biden by censoring the president. john daniel davidson with the federalist, he is the political editor there, he joins us now. is that it, just, doing this because they're pandering to the

incoming biden administration, or, are they being vindictive because they want to be vindictive because they hate the president? which way is this thing? >> i think it's the opposite from what you said. i think democrats and the biden administration admin panders and has been pandering to big tech. we've seen the largest power grab from corporate america we've seen in modern times. these are, make no mistake, monopolies. google, amazon, facebook, apple, they are flexing table muscles, flipping the switches, exerting unprecedented control over information in this country. we've never seen anything like this before. it is unprecedented. we need to address it. stuart: but there is not much we can do about it, is there, john? >> we need to get creative. congress will need to get involved. no question these are the purveyors of information in the 21st century. saying that you're not allowed to access web services like

amazon incorporated did with parler? all the people said if you don't like twitter, don't like facebook go build your own. well the big tech monopolies will not allow us to do that. we need to start treating them like utilities, like roads and power lines. stuart: john, i want a quote from your new piece called media outrage over capital riot isn't about defending democracy. it is about wielding power. that is what you wrote. make your case, please. >> all three the spring and summer we heard not a peep from corporate media about the riots that destroyed american cities, killed dozens of people, ruined livelihoods and businesses. in fact we heard the opposite. we heard the media cheering them on. now when we have a rye i don't think in the capitol when ideologues are on other side of the aisle, suddenly the greatest emergency we've ever seen in the modern era. i don't buy it. the media doesn't have a problem with riots. the media only has a problem with the riots they disagree

with the rioters idealogical and political views. nothing could be more clear. that is true of big tech as well and the view of democrats. stuart: that is extraordinary development, if you think about it. a week ago who would have dreamt the level of this censorship and extent of this censorship. all of sudden it is upon us. going forward it is not going away. have you ever seen anything like this before, john? >> no. would think any of us have seen anything like this before. the riots at the capitol will be used to excuse to crack down not just on the rioters, by the way, everyone, almost everyone in this country, certainly almost all conservatives and republicans believe the rioters should be brought to justice but the riots will be used to silence conservative voices, to silence anyone who brings up the back there was fraud or irregularities in the election and crack down on center-right moderate republicans. we're already seeing that. the house democrats want to put senators cruz and hawley on the

no-fly list, like they're terrorists. really. stuart: that is extraordinary. that is absolutely extraordinary. there we have, i'm just breaking away from you, john, for one second. that is joint base andrews. that's marine one of course. i believe the president is on board already. do we have the tape of what he had to say to the media? not yet. we're waiting for it. we have heard the headlines from his statement to the media. he is saying look, we don't want any violence. he is also saying that this impeachment drive has produced a great deal of anger. so we're waiting for that tape. we're going to run it for you as soon as we possibly can. john, i just want to thank you very much indeed for being on the show this morning. we know who you are. you are a great guy. come back soon, please. this is one of the most important subjects that we dealt with in a long, long time. you're right in the middle of it. thanks, john. we'll see you again soon.

tuesday morning. president trump reportedly accepted some responsibility for the capitol hill riots. susan where we are hearing this from? susan: from two sourcing president trump accepts some blame for the capitol hill riot during a conversation with house republican leader kevin mccarthy. mccarthy relayed the information on a call with gop members on monday. he also agreed president trump did bear some of the blame for the unrest on capitol hill. we know house democrats introduced articles of impeachment against the president on monday arguing that he incited insurrection. we notice how speaker nancy pelosi wants to move forward bringing the impeachment legislation to the floor. stuart: we're also, thank you, susan. we're also learning that the capitol hill police chief, he wanted national guard help before the riots but he was denied that by his supervisors. that is the story we're getting. what more do we know, ashley?

ashley: guard to be placed on standby in the days before the riot at the u.s. capitol but some says house and senate security officials turned him down saying they were not comfortable with the optics of declaring an emergency days before the protests. in the end some said he pleaded for help five times as the riot unfolded but a crowd of several thousand protesters as we know quickly overran the line of capitol police. sund resigned his post the day after the riot. talking of resigning, also resigning, chad wolf, acting secretary of homeland security but the capitol riot was not given as a reason. wolf actually plamed ongoing litigation challenging the validity of his appointment. stu. stuart: i hear it. ashley, thank you very much

indeed. looking ahead to next week, we've got an internal fbi memo warning of armed poe tests in all 50 state capitols ahead of joe biden's inauguration. acting deputy homeland security ken cuccinelli joins us now. who is in charge of responding to this threat of armed protests? is it the states or is it you guys at the federal level and what are you doing to prepare for this? >> you know, that is an excellent question. so it's a partnership. the states are of course, they have their own jurisdiction. they're responsible for the safety within their boundaries but we assist with that and there are things where we, we, the federal government have jurisdiction. the fbi is the lead federal agency dealing with anything that may reach the level of violence and the department of homeland security is the lead anywhere that may touch federal facilities or personnel. so we have to coordinate all of

that. we are talking to our state partners. that intelligence is being shared across the country and people shouldn't be too alarmed. we have intelligence all the time about challenges and problems and we share it with the state partners that is part of the role of the department of homeland security along with the fbi but we're being much more proactive at this point in time all the way through the inauguration and beyond. stuart: who calls out the the guard in states? >> the governors do. they each have that authority. they don't need anybody's permission to do it in a state. they are in charge. they are the effectively the commander-in-chief of their own national guard. that is how that works within the states. stuart: okay. just interesting to see the national guard called out all across the country for an inauguration. not good optics by any means.

>> well let's not jump too far. this isn't all that uncommon in terms of utilizing the national guard in a you know, preemptive protective posture and a lot of times that can be underdone. i listened to the report before that you were talking about request of the national guard and i don't know if those were made, there is a lot of dispute about that but let's be really clear. you just don't pick up the phone like it is 911 and call the national guard. they have to come from somewhere. they have to be, they have to have equipment appropriate for the mission they're being called for and moved to that point. you just don't do that in the middle of an action. it really spoke to the capitol police's lack of plan b frankly. you don't just call the national guard from there. you should be calling the surrounding partner law enforcement, civilian law enforcement agencies. when we got called at dhs we

responded. federal protective service, secret service, both sent folks. we sent hundreds. it is civilian law enforcement at that point. if you don't preposition the national guard you don't get to use them. they're not available. >> real fast question for you, after january the 20th what happens at our southern border when the caravans start to arrive? >> well, you know, that is a question to ask the incoming administration. the laws are in place to deal with large influxes. we've been doing that. people haven't realized we have had over 2000 people a day virtually every day. you will remember obama's secretary of homeland security jay johnson any day over a thousand is a bad day. we've been over a 2000 for months now handilying readily of the public health order that

allows us to repatriate these folks in two hours or less. when that goes away, there will be a significant problem, particularly when you combine with some of the rhetoric of the incoming administration. they're walking some of that back now. i'm grateful for that, so we don't create another humanitarian crisis on our southern border. that clearly will be a challenge for them. stuart: ken cuccinelli, homeland security, sir, thank you for joining us this morning. we'll see you soon. >> my pleasure. stuart: thanks very much. we've been showing you the market, not that much movement so far today but this is secretary of state pompeo taking aim at political correctness. watch this. >> censorship, wokeness, political correctness it all points in one direction, authoritarianism cloaked as moral righteousness. it is time that we simply put wokism to sleep. stuart: time we put wokism to sleep. an interesting statement, an

interesting statement from the secretary of state. liz macdonald takes that on in our next hour. first, house democrats plan to vote on impeaching president trump tomorrow. i will ask gregg jarrett if the house has the votes to impeach. ♪. your journey requires liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance

so you only pay for what you need. wow. that will save me lots of money. this game's boring. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.

stuart: just a few days of the trim administration remain and democrats are once again obsessed with impeaching the president. come in gregg jarrett. the house votes tomorrow. do they have the votes to impeach? >> it appears they do, stu. nancy pelosi, the house speaker, has already said she has more than 218 cosponsors of the impeachment. so that's enough. for a simple majority vote.

so i would expect that the impeachment will be achieved tomorrow but then the question is, what do you do under senate rules? the earliest possible senate trial can only be the day before trump leaves office. that would take 100 senators in unanimous consent. they won't do that, enough senators say we'll not do that so quickly. that means if democrats really want to pursue an impeachment trial in the senate they would have to do it after trump leaves office which in my mind is absurd. stuart: well, wouldn't that mean the ball is in joe biden's court? does he want the early months of his administration to be clouded by this on going senate trial and impeachment of president trump, former president trump? i mean the ball is in his court. does he want to do that in the early days of his

administration? >> you're talking intelligently and logically and reasonably, stu. but that is not joe biden. he is already said he will not interfere with the process this is pa guy who promised he would step the divisions and unite the country and yet he is is refusing to step in and say stop a divisive impeachment case against the president. he is leaving in a week. so i'm not optimistic that biden will ever do the right thing. frankly i dent think he has the intellect, the competence, the temperment to be president of the united states but we'll wait and see. maybe he will surprise us all. stuart: but what you're saying, gregg is, i keep calling it this toxic politics, the toxic politics of hatred of donald trump, that doesn't go away on inauguration day. in fact it continues way into 2021. that is what you're saying. >> oh, absolutely. the media is driving a lot of

this. i watch, appalled last night when jake the fake tapper on cnn said that the president had committed a inciting terrorism, inciting terrorism? really? here is what the president said. jake tapper obviously wasn't paying attention. last wednesday the president said this, i know everyone soon be marching to the capitol building and peacefully, patriotically make your voices heard. nowhere in the president's speech did he advocate or encourage violence. he didn't tell the protesters to breach security, attack police officers, threaten lawmakers engage in seditious behavior and including looting and vandalism. he didn't do that. jake tapper went even further and he said in challenging the electoral vote in congress republicans were committing

sedition. really? because that is exactly what democrats did in 2001, 2005, and 2017. what a dope and a hypocrite. stuart: let's not get too personal there but nonsense, leave it at that. gregg jarrett, thanks for joining us. appreciate it. back to this whole idea of extending toxic politics beyond inauguration day because if the impeachment process continues i think it could actually slow down joe biden's agenda. is that right, ash? what have you got to say on this? ashley: yeah, you're absolutely right. to pick up on what gregg just said, the move by house democrats could force a senate impeachment trial which likely wouldn't start before january 20th, the date of biden's inauguration. that in turn could delay the senate confirmation of the president-elect's cabinet nominations. it could also slow down congressional passage of joe biden's major coronavirus

relief bill. the other option would be for the senate to wait a few months, to hold the trial, allowing time to act on biden's economic agenda. either way it certainly could provide a roadblock to getting on with the business of joe biden says he wants to get to immediately. stu. stuart: ash, there is this, hillary clinton says impeaching president trump is quote essential for the country. that is not all. she will tell you who else she is blaming or who else she is blaming the president for. just ahead, after months of lockdowns new york's governor cuomo now doing complete reversallal say the economies reopen. brian kilmeade sounds off on what is really a reversal. brian's next. ♪. so you're a small business,

deli, gym, bodega, what do you need to open up? can you put up plexiglass here? what about your kitchen help? how are you spreading it out? what about deliveries. calling up td bank, what will it take to get employees back? what if i provided money for testing to do it every other day? what if stayingerred the way you came in. think how different it would look. that is how it would look now. the reason he didn't do, i'm concluding, my thoughts that was election year. the last thing he wanted was was more years of donald trump. that is anthony fauci too. fauci blamed china last week. no kidding. stuart: what governor cuomo wants now, he wants a bailout from the taxpayers of texas, florida, the open up states. he want as bailout, repeal of salt, state and local tax deduction. he wants that to come back. that is it what he wants. that, that's the main thing that

they want whether it is new york, new jersey, illinois, or california, the one thing they want more than anything else is taxpayer money from someplace else to bail them out of their problems. >> stuart, think about this, when the tax restructuring took place under trump one way you want to make up for the revenue is not to allow people to write off their state taxes. so the highest taxes are in california, new york, and new jersey. so if you're not writing them off, why are you staying? why are you keeping your business here? but they needed revenue to replace the decreasing corporate tax money and decreasing middle and lower tax money coming in. they said okay, this is where the revenue will come from. now he is writing checks on overdraft to people at $2000, rather than push out to make sure people needed it. maybe stand the economy up to work our way out of this. they will take away one area of revenue stream putting the salt

tax back. people are leaving anyway. it is miserable place to be. he ruined this state.more peoplg new jersey, new york than any other states in the reason. the only reason gavin newsom has a reason to smile over the last two months, he is losing a race he never wanted to contend for but he is losing a lot of people too. stuart: you got that right. brian, as always, thanks very much indeed. >> promise i won't. stuart: next case, joe biden, worried about achieving his promise of speedy vaccinations once in office. what is he saying, lauren? lauren: it's hard. they might not be able to achieve that goal, 100 million shots in biden's first 100 days. it is a big lift. there is problem of allocation at the state level. we've actually seen doses trashed because they expired before they were administered. there is also the issue of supply. there is a lot of popularity. a big push by both the trump administration and incoming biden team to release the second

dose. if they can replenish that supply quick enough. they think they can. the latest is from the trump administration right now, hhs. they're telling states move on to the next phase of distribution. that means if you're older than 65 or you have a comorbidity you can get the vaccine if you want it. stuart: yes. expand the eligibility. let's get moving. why not? thanks, lauren. still ahead we have charles payne, liz macdonald, tom del beccaro, alex berenson. that is all in the 11:00 hour. i say the ball is now in joe biden's court. does he want to continue the politics of trump hatred or move forward with his agenda? what does he want? that's the theme of my take and it is next. ♪.

now this -- i said it all morning the ball is in joe biden's court. he has to decide whether he continues with what i keep calling the toxic politics of trump hatred or moves forward with his agenda. this is a very important political moment. tomorrow the house is likely to vote to impeach the president and representative james clybourn has suggested that the senate take no action until well after the inauguration. if that were the case widens first 100 days would be overshadowed by the senate trial of donald trump and there is no certainty as to whether that is constitutional. can you impeach a president who is no longer the president? what president biden will have to balance is this berland grudge that speaker pelosi bears against mr. trump versus the urgent need to get things done and it would be very difficult

for the senate to deal with impeachment and a major stimulus plan, covert relief and new taxes, not to mention a bailout for the big democratic states. the mood of the country, not necessarily the media and the socialists, but the mood of the country is to move forward in a positive fashion. after four years of tumultuous politics and nearly one year of pandemic restrictions voters surely want to move on and there is grave risk year for the new presidency. biden wants a new start and there is no new start in looking back just to get revenge. it will be good to see 2020 finally come to an end with the inauguration of joe biden on january 20. it would be good to get back to a news environment that is not dominated by hatred. will the left be prepared to move on now that the trump era is coming to an end? it is joe biden's choice. it is his call.

on the future of capitalism and how has the virus changed capitalism in america? >> the virus has upped the ante for those who say we should be printing money for social causes. the virus has given the left a lot of leverage because government has had to play such an amazing role. remember, we are talking for government stimulus plans and were talking i lost track of how many federal reserve stimulus plans so folks on the left are saying the private sector cannot do it and this is why we need big government and not just in emergencies during covid but why not use the same resources to print up money and pay off all student debt. why not use those same resources to create universal basic income and they got a persuasive argument and that's why they got an amazing panel and we will talk about this because to be quite frank, stuart, i think capitalism is here to stay but i also think it needs a facelift and we will see exactly what

happens because admitting that that you open or cracked the door to folks who really want to turn it upside down to something that is more akin to socialism and that has always failed every time it's been tried. stuart: you are right, charles. the socialists are saying never let a good crisis go to waste. they see this as their opportunity and i think you're absolutely right there. charles, thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. good stuff. we will be watching this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. eastern right here on foxbusiness, "making money" with that guy, charles payne. thanks, charles paid now this, secretary of state mike pompeo has a strong warning about censorship among other things so watch this. >> censorship, political correctness, at all points in one direction, authoritarianism. moral righteousness and it's not what voice of america should be but it's time that we simply put woke is him to sleep. stuart: come on in, elizabeth

america reporting hundreds of glowing stories about china's response on covid-19 without giving the other rounded facts about it. this is a federally taxpayer-funded site and supposed to be a historical and supposed to be given all the context information in stuart, in the past they've been accused of bias and not doing that. i will tell you stuart, if voice of iran or china they would not be allowing some of what the reporters and editors were doing at voice of america so this isn't a democrat issue and not a republican issue but about how americans feel about how the country is being portrayed on these platforms overseas. stuart: well said, liz. i think you've seen this already but it's an article from hillary clinton in today's washington post but i will quote from it. here you go, removing trump from office is essential and i believe he should be impeached.

liz, that hillary clinton. tomorrow house democrats vote on impeaching the president and it looks like they've got the vot votes. that means impeachment with just a week to go before the end of the term presidency is going forward. what to make of this? >> that's what critics are calling a snap impeachment. legally impeachment is supposed to be a deliberative process where you go through the facts and then decide on impeachment but it's not supposed be used as instinctively punish an individual. what happened in the capital seas and in the riots is wrong and flat-out wrong. you can equivocate about that. critics are pointing out the president said if you don't fight like hell you will not have a country anymore but basically goes through a number of statements of present made that is being cited as for him instigating what happened but to get from there to impeachment conservative author andrew mccarthy and columnist said

listen, you have to establish intends for the president meant to have violence happened given what he had said. that is what impeachment process would do but the senate is not coming back until a couple weeks and they will not get it in that chamber. this is a real smack down and they say you can't go forward without letting something happen again so what is the rebuke ben stuart? tom reed of the republican said maybe today we will talk about censoring the president to give a message that this is unacceptable so we will watch what happens in washington tod today. stuart: and you will be covering it tonight on "the evening edi edit", 6:00 p.m. eastern, foxbusiness liz mac donald we will see you then but thank you, liz see you soon. back to the markets please because we are seeing green. little bits of a bump up for the dow industrials were now up about 80 points and the nasdaq is up about a third of 1%. it is becoming a more solid move up, more solid gain.

capitol hill riots. kennedy is with us this morning. i say big tech is simply pandering to the incoming administration and they want to light touch of regulation in the future so what do you say? >> yeah, i think that's absolutely right. it is interesting because the biden administration will probably be a lot harder on big tech than any democrat administration has been. there is a strong urge to control the control big tech has on culture in society and even politics right now and they are talking about making some of these behemoths up which would be may be a better case scenario then repealing section 230 which president trump has talked about. he is on his way out but there is definitely big regulation on its way in. stuart: look, i understand there may be pandering to the incoming administration but i think the real thing here is they hate him.

they hate president trump and that is true of the media and true of many democrats and the socialists and that is what is motivating this thing what you say? >> i don't disagree with you at all. i think the problem is when you are trapped in bubbles where from the top down you are forced to if not think the same way acts like you engage in groupthink and the group thinking is that president trump is horrible and needs to be silenced and forced from office. there are a lot of people who are really frustrated with this president and everyone is entitled to their own feeling but what i don't like is oppression and force and having a one party, one style, one-size-fits-all way of thinking which i think is the worst thing for a creative democracy like ours. stuart: but president-elect biden's inauguration theme is going to be america united.

how do you unite the country if you go forward in the first days of the administration with trump hatreds and trump impeachment? >> it's not just going to be in the first few days. they will go forward with that for as long as possible because they will use this administration as a scapegoat for any failures but also he is provided the greatest loyal the democrats have ever had an integrated fundraising for democrats. he can cap this president as an ongoing threat then send us your cards and letters filled with cash and we will do whatever we can to thwart that. stuart: you are not you use your old self, kennedy. usually your lively, upbeat and positive and you are going at it but today -- i just get the impression that you're a little muted and that you're saddened

by what is going on, are you? >> i am saddened because my taxes will go up and i'm saddened because this is a total one party space and they will have total control over everything. i'm not as worried about facebook and twitter and all of that stuff because i know eventually those things will fall out of favor and they will fall by the wayside not because it's parlor but the most powerful person in the country is not joe biden or donald trump but joe manchin and so much rests on that guys shoulders. it's really unfathomable. stuart: okay. before we move on one quick question to you print what you make of governor cuomo reversing a lockdown position and now saying you've got to open up the economy but the cost is too high to keep it closed? >> it is. it's stunning to me that is taken that long yet other states have seen that you can have businesses that are functioning

responsibly and you can exhort your citizens to make sure that they are masked and sanitized in people, by and large, will do whatever they can to help out and that's exactly what they need. you can't go on forever like this. new york state is in a team billion-dollar hole. i know governor cuomo assumes the federal government will throw him a lifeline for the mismanagement and h that may ort happen but you cannot keep killing businesses because at least a third of them, especially restaurants in new york will not come back and that is unacceptable. stuart: there should have been saying this two month ago or three months ago, four months ago for heavens sake, not now after the election but kennedy, believe it or not, we will watch you and your show tonight good it is at 8:00 p.m. eastern and its title, kennedy, monday through thursday 8:00 p.m. eastern on foxbusiness but kennedy, thank you for being

make sure everything is sanitized between scenes and who is more high-risk than whom these are perhaps some of the permanent changes of the pandemic, right? as corporations are hiring a chief remote officer because people are home you have a covid compliance officer on movie sets and in other places as well. stuart: you've got that right. loren, thanks. sticking with hollywood for a moment, netflix, i'm told has really big plans for 2021. susan, how many movies are they going to release? susan: talking 70 original movies with duane johnson, your new best friend, leo dicaprio so netflix took advantage of 2020 thanks to a long pipeline of content that other competitors did not have ready to go before the pandemic. netflix benefited and they jumped nearly 70% to the stock price last year and also a

record first half of new subscribers in lockdown keeping people at home streaming a record amount of netflix and so they raised prices for the first time in a few years and they are also spending around $40 million a year on content and we know kevin hart will get paid a few of those dollars for film but no financials and you can imagine that in the millions and also speaking of getting paid, you know the ladies in sex in the city are making a comeback. they are making a million dollars an episode and this will attract carrie bradshaw and a know you care, stuart, carrie bradshaw is a girl in her 50s, dating in the 50s. stuart: nothing wrong with that at all. i will be eager to see. i would like to see a return of that. susan, thanks. look at this, thousands of alabama fans flooded the streets after the crimson tide won the college football championship. yes, they did bit more on that coming up. and after two years kamala harris is finally getting her wish. roll tape. >> here we have donald trump who

this will not end well. stuart: that was a former white house press secretary mary fleischer clearly condemning big tax censorship of president trump. alex berenson is with us now. will you answer the question that he posed, where does this end? >> stuart, i don't know where it ends. it appears to be picking up speed actually. look, there has been a lot of talk about twitter and president trump. to me the more dangerous thing that happened in the last week was the essential destruction of parler and i don't know if everyone knows what parler is but parler was an alternative to twitter that attracted some conservatives especially who believed that twitter was censoring conservative voices. and you can argue about that. it certainly, now that they've taken as it tromped down it looks more like that there is an openhanded conservative bias on twitter. that said, i've never had a problem with twitter but but

parler is this other or i should say it's a twitter like website or twitter like app and there was an argument that parler had somehow become a haven for hate speech. as someone who has received death threats on twitter i can tell you there is plenty of hate speech on twitter too. it's an unfortunate function of social media but leftist said we don't want conservatives to have a place where they feel welcome and so apple and google said we will band parler from our app store and then amazon said we will not host parler on our servers anymore and parler is now gone. it does not exist right now print they are trying to get it back up online and they first said well it might be a few days but now it looks like it will be longer. the truth is if this continues the logical end of this and i'm not saying this will happen but the logical end of this is you wind up with two internet speed

you will wind up with a literal internet and a conservative internet and that is the craziest outcome you can imagine. i am old enough to imagine or to remember information was to be free and the internet will democratize publishing and make it possible for everyone out there to have a voice in the opposite seems to be happening. we should all be concerned about this. honestly, places like the aclu should be concerned but right now following what happened at the capitol last week in the left seems to they have their knives out and they are coming after people. stuart: yet, it seems to me that we are moving towards a position where you are only allowed to have one narrow band of opinion and don't step out that way, don't step out that way but just stay right there in line with major corporations, the media, the democrats slightly left of center and that's extremely unhealthy and i never thought i would see the day when we've got it in america. >> i think it's very dangerous

spirit by the way, last week i had people very angry with me because i think what happened at the capital last week was terrible and people should go to jail and trump should not have encouraged that you can argue about encourage or incited and all the words you want to use but he pushed people to want to be certify the election and bad things happen. that is all true but this is a bigger issue than that and this is about whether or not people will still be allowed to speak their minds in the united states and around the world or if we will all become china. it is a dangerous place. look, i've been lucky so far. i have had people like elon musk have spoken up for me and i've been able to publish my booklets, these booklets about covid that have a contrary in view that the lockdowns have caused harm and masks aren't that helpful and contrary in positions but so far and i don't think people are conservative or liberal but i view them as accurate and contrary to what you are hearing and a lot of

media sources but they are factual on accurate and i don't do that as liberal conservatives but so far i had a voice but people want to char me as conservative and if char is the only word to use any want to block me and you know, i am a have a personal stake here. stuart: stay the course, alex. >> i'm trying, stuart. i'm trying. [laughter] stuart: go back to work. i've got to run but alex berenson thank you for being with us. now, covid restrictions okay, strangling businesses on chicago's famed magnificent mile good jeff flock is there. reporter: well, biggest one right here stuart is the macy's. as you can see perhaps not big sale you would like it, 40% off what to get a price but the big macy's at 300,000 square-foot shutdown across the street, toys "r" us as you can imagine toys "r" us has a shut down, to gap

stores have just closed along magnificent mile. if you look at the numbers on vacancy rates three years ago it was six and a half% vacancy rate but the number is up this year, 2021 is expected to be almost triple that. really worrisome and this is one of the nation's premier shopping districts. this is the magnificent mile and it is not so magnificent at the moment. i hate to pile on illinois but i can tell you this one, in the midst of all of this the governor there is a provision in the cares act that would allow businesses to carry back losses from previous years, to previous tax years so they get a tax break so they can survive this book governor has put a plan in effect to cancel that and said no, that is a federal law but not here in illinois and we will get an extra $500 million of revenue that we would have been cheated out of. i don't know, it was supposed to be a break for people in trouble so i don't know how that was cheated out of.

stuart: who cheated who? who cheated who? good question for jeff, interesting stuff. jeff flock in chicago. let's get to sports. i'm sure you know by now that the alabama crimson tide clinched the college football championship. ashley, come into this please and that when lead to big celebrations and i did not see many people wearing masks and there is no social distancing and is this becoming a problem here? ashley: put it this way, i don't think covid was in mind when the celebrations spilled onto the streets of tuscaloosa last night after alabama demolished ohio state. you can see on the screen are 52-24. they claimed another national championship, six under the way of nick sabin. tuscaloosa's mayor had urged fans not to host block parties and don't go out on the streets but look what happened on the other side of the screen. apparently those pleas were ignored leaving some on social media to predict that guess

what, tuscaloosa will soon be the new covid-19 hotspot and just give it a couple of days there you go. stuart: we shall see. ashley: i know, i don't see masks in there either. stuart: big crowd, that's for sure but ashley, thank you. your cash is no good if you want to buy these new york city bars. the owner only wants to be paid in bitcoin. the owner joined me next. ♪ ♪ so you're a small business,

nation actually with this pandemic but there is light at the end of the tunnel appeared there's not a lot of guys rushing to pat hughes to bring may be a traditional sale with these bars. guys in business already but my feeling was that there are guys that have oodles of bitcoin and crypto currency and they want ways to legitimize their currency and i'm more than happy to take some off that of their hands. stuart: pat, you would become then an investor in bitcoin. if you sell your bars and the buyer gives you bitcoin you are a bitcoin investor fit are you comfortable with that with the prices all over the place? >> oh, very much so. i'm late to the bitcoin game. i thought bought my first bitcoin last may when there was all this talk about bitcoin is having and go up so i bought one bitcoin just to get myself in the game and i love it and i think it's a thing of the
