12:02 pm
ratings? was completely appropriate. i don't see the sense of this. >> it has been analyzed. it is become such a politically people thought what i said was correct atmosphere that you know, as your previous guest was totally appropriate but they have analyzed my speech and my saying, there are tens of words and my final paragraph, my millions of people who follow donald trump on twitter and to shut him down and shut down final sentence, everybody to a t other conservative voices isn't thought it was totally just a questionable legal, legal appropriate. reporter: the biggest technology companies by and large frozen right but question questionable the president from the social business practice. i got to tell you, neil, i've media accounts because they fear he could use those platforms to been talking to other major conservative leaders around the incite further violence. country for the last couple of the president described that days and i believe this will be decision from those companies as a boycott on the conservative side of the aisle against catastrophic. >> i think big tech has made a twitter and that could, you see terrible mistake and very, very on their screen what has happened to the twitter stock. bad for our country and that is i think that might be just the leading others to do the same beginning of something really thing. harmful to facebook and twitter it causes a lot of problems and a lot of danger. and to some extent some of these big mistake. they shouldn't be doing it. other companies that are reporter: eight days from now president-elect biden will be censoring the conservative voice sworn in as the 46th president of the united states. in america. neil: well you know, i always we have not yet neil, heard from think there is another issue him on this front. here that goes beyond discuss
12:03 pm
his reaction to what the social whether these sites are, you media companies are doing. we do know that the know, biased towards one president-elect support as rewrite of section 230 which political philosophy oar another. i think they're afraid of grants these companies legal getting sued. they're looking back at some protections. he views it from different side language been used in the past saying you know, someone reading spectrum than president trump that and going through the does. president biden says the history of that could come back at us and say you knew you let companies need to deal with misinformation that is on their this go and now people are dead. platforms. neil: blake, when the president every one said i was saying was i wonder now, if this is a signal of things to come? appropriate, to who is he that if, the better part of speaking? a number of cabinet officials valor for these guys, strictly and top administration officials who have since quit would as a business and legal decision will be to say we see this on probably disagree. every republican of some the right, which is not fair. standing has repudiated his we were pretty explosive language coming out of the left remarks as galvanizing call for maybe the type of violence he didn't see coming but which especially lass summer, racial paved the way for it. riots, whatever, they will sort who he is talking to a man or of pull themselves in here and, woman who is saying everything he said was fine. cancel stuff before they even reporter: no clue. see stuff? great question. >> well this is a tightrope that no clue. the cabinet officials that i think even some of my friends resigned, head of department of on the right are walking right
12:04 pm
transportation, head of department of education and now. obviously you have to shut down department of homeland security, speech that is, that would cause no longer working with him. an insurrection or that is, former press secretary works for the first lady, stephanie seditious or anti-american but grisham is gone. former chief of staff mick who do you want -- i think the mulvaney on a diplomatic post question here, neil, who do we gone because of what happened want to regulate these things? les week. there have been multiple should the companies regulate staffers on a junior level or a the speech themselves? should it not be regulated at staff level front who decided to all? or, what i think might be the within the administration that worse of all options have the they need to get out of here and move on. so when the president says that government regulate these it is and quoting from the companies? do we want the deep state, if you're a conservative, regulating these private president, totally appropriate, companies? i don't know what the answer is a phrase he uses twice, clearly but there are problems with there has been a rebuke from not almost every solution. only just republicans but neil: you're right about that. you know, i was thinking of prothose within his own having you on when you're coming administration, neil. neil: yeah. on and talking about the passing all right. blake burman thank you very, very much. all of this as technology takes of sheldon adelson, of course the casino billionaire who gave a collective crack down against anything the president says or to a lot of republican causes. any musings that he says. we'll talk about some of that in he is essentially locked out of just a second, steve. the social media sites. he was a big believer i'm spending money to get republican
12:05 pm
ian prior joins us former doj conservative viewpoints out because the general media refuses to. public affairs. that was his credo. -- public affairs vice president that really drove him over most now. of his adult life. very good to have you. a lot of people are saying this he passed away but i just want is an over reaction to to look back where he was coming president's comments whether from both politically and they instigated things or not, eye of the beholder, most agree businesswise. invariably he intertwined the two over an incredible career. they did instigate this, having sheldon adelson. take a look. >> he was a great, great man. said that, that this is he was an incredible overkill. this might be more about businessman. he really rebuilt the casino covering their legal heinies industry in amazingly profitable than anything else. what do you think? >> i think what you're seeing a way and created hundreds of massive overreach by big tech, thousands of jobs. by twitter, by apple, shutting neil: if you hang on to this, parler off its app store. steve. i do have, i think we have some of all the places that you would exchanges i had with him over hear it from is the chancellor the years that addressed this of germany, angela merkel, who very point that you have. is no friend to president trump i would love to come back to you but yesterday she released a to get your reaction to sheldon statement, expressing concern adelson. welcome back, good to see you. with you know, how social media >> good to see you. we got to stop meeting like this companies are reinstructing speech. and i think that is telling when so often, people will start to you have somebody again is a rival to president trump, does not have a good relationship talk. >>
12:06 pm
with president trump, is not neil: i see you have some defending president trump but is success coming out of your taking a shot at these social media companies for what she shell. sees as dangerous overreach. where do president stay? >> president bush? neil: president obama. >> stayed the bellagio. neil: do you know anything about both father and son. separately this ron paul neil: okay. very good. censoring going on. >> bellagio is a nice hotel. he said that facebook has been we consider it a good part of the, these social media competitor. neil: you've done okay for sites that are now not allowing yourself, sheldon. keep it up. sheldon, always good having you him on site. on. he can't understand why. you always speak your mind. maybe it is quoting an article both sides appreciate that. be well, good health. or attaching it to a statement >> i don't think democrats but i was looking to this and i appreciate it too much. neil: they actually hate you i don't see him violating any forgot. sheldon, thank you. >> i only watch fox. community standards or whatever the policies are to take him off neil: all right. i'm sorry. facebook unless it's something i didn't set that up very well. else i'm missing. do you know what is going on he had a great sense of humor. here? >> yeah. i couldn't tell you the answer this was not the series of bites to that either. i think that is part of the i thought, i apologize my bad. problem. that nobody understands what the one of the things i gleaned over standards that these social media companies are using to one, flag inappropriate content or what they believe is the years talking about him,
12:07 pm
despite his dry wit and inappropriate content. two, ban people from their platforms. you mentioned earlier in the demeanor, razor shape about financial details. show. very concerned about our growing section 230. section 230 is an important component of that. it protects the social media deficit and debt. said capitalism at its core was companies from liability what is posted on their site but i think good. a son of a taxicab driver born we have to start looking a into poverty. little deeper. he was worried even to his dying social media is not the government, not subject to the first amendment, effectively it has become almost like a public days concerned about the role government was playing just utility which how people getting bigger. what did you make of that? communicate, how people get their news. >> he was a great american, how people get their shopping delivered, their groceries horatio alger story, you're delivered. so we need to take a hard look exactly right. at what reforms we can put in born with very little income, became one of the richest people place to make sure that people's in the world. first amendment rights or at one of those only in america least their freedom of stories. expression and their freedom to i was a big admirer of his engage in e-commerce is protected and is not restricted because of business he built but put his money where his mouth based on their political affiliation or their political is. he was big defender of beliefs. neil: yeah, what is weird about free-market capitalism and donated hundreds of millions of this ron paul and his son dollars to free market causes. rand paul who also criticized we're talking about the tech this move on the part of industry. you look where zuckerberg is facebook were no big fans of putting their money and some of
12:08 pm
president trump instigating what these other -- jeff bezos. they said was this sort of they are funding the left. protest against the electoral i just wish there were more vote, saying that in ron paul's people like sheldon adelson who appreciated the free market case that his pre-riot speech, system and put money to preserve the president, was it rather than people like irresponsible. rand paul has since said that zuckerberg who made tens and facebook now considers abdicate tens of billions of dollars off the free market system and they try to tear it down. neil: you know, steve, i'm going abdicate -- advocating for way back in ancient trump liberty is sedition. where does it end? history here. when he firms ran for president is there an agenda we're but of course he was going to missing? >> quite frankly where we are as finance his own campaign. sheldon adelson looking at his a country. you cannot get into a conversation with a friend or a prospects, early on, early on, colleague on any substantive issue, whether the first wasn't very optimistic, he amendment, really anything withheld economies that could without trump's name being a have come in very handy. part of that. obviously it's a moot point. look president trump is vessel, he eventually gave to the trump albeit imperfect vessel for campaign and republican causes, taking the senate, what have 75 million people. there are a lot of issues. you, but do you know how the two there are good things that he has done. ultimately got along? not everything comes down are i mean obviously adelson had his you for trump or against trump? doubts as did many. what we're seeing here he liked what he was seeing
12:09 pm
under president trump, not only unfortunately it started in higher ed. it is moving down into regular the rip-roaring markets and strong economy but seemed education. you're seeing it in pressure to genuinely impressed in the end. corporations to really restrict speech that the left alinsky rur what do you know of that dynamic? >> well i don't know about that much about the personal relationship between sheldon adelson and donald trump but what you just said, neil, could describe thousands and thousands of donors and businessmen and women who were skeptical of donald trump as i was at the beginning. then i saw what he did and this is a crucial time for america i think, for conservatives. we have to you know, obviously his behavior over the last two weeks is something that cannot be defended but the policies, the policies of cutting taxes, reducing regulation, promoting american energy, putting america first have been in my opinion a phenomenal success. what worries me at this time in the history of our country not only is the left assaulting trump for his behavior but they're going after a, people
12:10 pm
associated with him, and b, the ideas which have been vindicated. he has really shown if you get government off the back of business, boy it can explode in prosperity. neil: all right. thank you very much, my friend. steve moore. he will be back with us a little later here. by the way the white house is passing along its condolences to sheldon adelson's family. president says, melania and i mourn the passing of sheldon adelson and send to his wife and children and grandchildren. he was true to his family and his country, all those that knew him. the world lost a great man. he will be missed. there are some sheldon adelson stories. i can remember going into a business conference in las vegas, bumping into him, interviewing him. he asked me where i was staying. it was not at one of his casinos. he said poor you. enjoy the buffet. more after this.
12:13 pm

but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. ♪. neil: you heard of speed dating, how about speed impeaching. the house in a rush to impeach the president of the united states with time wasting, really bringing this down to one single
12:15 pm
count, alleging incitement of insurrection. that the president's words were so fiery last week among supporters on the southern side of the white house, by urging them to march on the capitol he all but laid seeds for what would be a tragic, tragic protest. mike emanuel has more on where this goes from a formal move i guess tomorrow in the house? >> absolutely right. a preliminary step, house lawmakers vote on vice president mike pence to take action, urging the vice president to use the 25th amendment it say president trump is not capable of carrying out the duties of his office. with many expecting pence won't do that they are expected to pivot to impeachment vote tomorrow. >> there is not a lot of investigations needs to be done. we were all witnesses to this. we were all witnesses to this. we saw the president's statements and tweets. this will lay it out in more detail absolutely the to sustain the burden of proof for
12:16 pm
impeachment. reporter: kevin mccarthy wrote to his gop colleagues. i personally believe the impeachment at this time will have opposite effect keeping our country together when we need america to be on a path towards unity and civility. other republicans suggest president-elect joe biden should step up. >> the president-elect could gain a lot of goodwill among republicans and democrats frankly but americans generally if he told everybody slow down. this president is not an imminent threat to this country at this point. let's get through the inauguration. let's look back and make some decisions. reporter: once the house votes to impeach, it would head to the senate for a trial. one senate democrat says they don't have the votes. >> there will be still 48 democrats until we seat warnock and senator ossoff. so until that happens we need 67 votes. i think my arithmetic that we have 19 republicans. i don
12:17 pm
i think the house should know that also. we have been trying to send that message over. reporter: the earliest a senate trial would start would be january 20th, inauguration day when president trump is already leaving office. neil? neil: incredible. mike emanuel, thank you very much, my friend. susan crabtree, "realclearpolitics" white house national correspondent and susan, where is this going? >> well, honestly i think the centrist voices are getting drowned out here, voices of reason. the problem-solvers caucus, joe manchin, he put on there. after the senate georgia runoff where democrats run there was a point being made this is a very slim majority and people like joe manchin would have a very big influence but it doesn't seem that way at all right now. it seems like their voices are getting drowned out and this train, this impeachment train, snap impeachment has left the station and it is rolling and i
12:18 pm
don't think joe biden is doing enough to stop it. he has a chance here. as you mentioned to really stand up and say, isn't this going, i said myself, that this is the time to heal. that the demonization needs to be over. we need to come together as a nation. he has a real big choice to make but yesterday it seemed like he wasn't willing to make that choice. he hasn't said what he thinks about impeachment or invoking the 25th amendment but he has said he would sort of open to it yesterday. he left the door open saying that he could run a bifurcated sort of senate schedule -- they could confirm his nomination so he could assemble his cabinet. at 1:00 they could turn to impeachment. i think that is not turning the page. that is not setting a new tone in washington. especially when we see the fbi saying there is more assaults being planned on the capitol.
12:19 pm
that the temperature across the nation has not been lowered at all. neil: yeah. there is very little time for him to get his cabinet officials approved, let alone deal with 100-day agenda we're told will be pretty active. wondering in his heart of hearts, biden wishes this were passing? that he wouldn't be dealing with this? that congress wouldn't be dealing with this at all, whatever his personal views of the president? >> i do think you had a hint of that over the weekend when the nation was heartbroken over what they experienced and witnessed but you had jim clyburn come out. this is one of his chief allies. he has been instrumental in him winning the primary, presidential primary. said why don't we do this a little bit later. how about 100 days down the road? you have people like chuck schumer he is ready to take up impeachment articles. people like steny hoyer who made
12:20 pm
a reputation as a moderate in the house over many, many years, he is saying he wants to send over the articles of impeachment immediately to the senate. neil: but they can't really do that. one of the things i heard they want is that to make sure that whatever they push forward prevents donald trump from ever running for office again but they can't do that, can they? >> well, they don't really have the votes as joe manchin just mentioned. they need 67 votes in the senate to in order to remove, physically remove the president from office. doesn't seem like that can happen before inauguration day. so he will already be removed from office. what they want to do is have that be on his legacy. if they did get 67 votes, that would have to be warnock was seated, after ossoff was seated and i'm not sure that can even occur during that time. they do not know if they have the votes at this point. so it is basically a gamble. one where the nation is just suffering right now, it doesn't
12:21 pm
seem to be sort of a healing moment or turning the page. neil: we'll see how it goes. susan crabtree. very good catching up with you. be safe, be well. we are following this right now. they're drawing this one article up that he instigated the violence that resulted in the death of five in the nation's capitol last week. that's it. it's a single approach. will it work? growing doubts that they should even try in the first place. before we talk about tax-smart investing, what's new?

those in hospitals and elsewhere to make sure they get those doses, the sooner the better. right now about a third of vaccines that were made readily available have been tapped and shot in people's arms. bryan llenas exploring what is going on in new jersey to open up megasites to speed the process along. bryan, what is going on? >> neil, this afternoon this sears department store behind me unfortunately closed down in september and it has been transformed into a mass vaccination site. it is one of two currently open. there will be six eventually open statewide. new jersey is only vaccinating right now health care workers and first-responders but that could soon change. health and human services secretary alex azar announcing today new guidelines for states urging the states to expand vaccinations to include senior citizens and those were specific preexisting conditions regardless of their occupation.
12:27 pm
>> we're calling on our governments to now vaccinate people age 65 and over and under age 65 with a comorbidity because we've got to expand the group we've already distributed more vaccine than we have health care workers and people in nursing hopes. reporter: in an effort to ramp up the slovak seen rollout the administration is also urging states to start expanding their vaccine distribution to include pharmacies and health centers. he wants states to release all of their available doses including those doses reserved for people's second required shot now back here in new jersey we toured the transformed sears megavaccination site and followed lieutenant steve bitman, a 22 year police veteran as he received the first moderna vaccine shot. the site is capable of administering 2500 vaccines a day.
12:28 pm
patients are in in and outdoor n 30 minutes by appointment only. >> feel very fortunate to be included in this group. it is not important for my elf health but the health and safety of people i serve in the community. reporter: new jersey has used 34% of its 650,000 doses. that is ranked 31st in the nation. he said the goal is to, the goal in this state is to vaccinate 70% of its 4.7 million people. neil by may, they want to reach the 70% mark. so far about a million people have registered online for appointments to get vaccinated. governor fill phil murphy concerned about supply meeting demand. alex azar says do not worry, the supply chain is there he is very confident. neil: azar is saying the supply chain is there but they want to
12:29 pm
tap supplies put aside for second doses which come typically 21 days after the first dose, what if you run through those doses? what happens to the folks looking forward to the second dose to complete the dosage? reporter: sew says that the number of vaccines that are out there are way more than that phase one-a. they have already exceed the demand. why they are expanding to the senior citizens. going forward he is urging the states to use the allocated vaccines that they are given, those doses to go directly to those who need the second dose first. then all of those that are left over will go to remainder pool of people that need it. again he says the supply chain has proven over the last four weeks they will not run out of doses. governors have not been as confident but we'll see. neil: i get it. i think i get it. always good to have you on, brian. thank you for that. bryan llenas dealing with that in the garden state.
12:30 pm
we're pretty busy right now getting these out. state governors suspended with notions that you had to be cued up, 65 or older for example, you had extenuating circumstances you can hop in line as well. we'll see how that goes. steve moore back with us. steve, i'm thinking of the biden incoming administration goal to get 100 million doses out the first 100 days. what do you think of that? >> i sure hope he can pull that off. it would be a miracle for the health of the country but also think about, neil, the economic implications if we can pull that off. you will see this economy just burst back to life. you will see stores reopen, restaurants reopen, bars reopen. so let's just hope and pray that -- i don't know if he can pull it off. i don't know if we'll have the supply available. it is so important we get those vaccines out there. i think americans are getting a little frustrated this isn't going quite as well we had
12:31 pm
hoped. why aren't we, why aren't we prioritizing the elderly. the evidence is crystal clear the elderly are ones at risk of dying from this disease? neil: do the 50 governors then have different standards who gets what and when? is that how it is orchestrated? >> that is exactly what is happening. at our committee to unleash prosperity we're trying to get that data and kind of rather than the governors. so far what we're finding is that, no big surprise here, ron desantis of florida has really come out the very top in terms of getting those vaccines to the people, not just health care workers but the seniors in nursing homes and people over age of 75 who are real risk. you know, kudos to governor desantis in florida. neil: i think one ever the brilliant things he did was open it up to, make it available where people go, like at public
12:32 pm
grocery stores, very big. that is place to go ahead and administer. that is what happened. their efficacy rate is highest in the nation as a result. steve, i hope they speed things up. very good. >> one quick thing, neil? you trigger ad memory when we were talking about the great sheldon adelson who died yesterday. i had a meeting with him about 10 years ago in his office in vegas and i had one of those thermos, this when they first came out the coffee mugs were like they thermoses. we were having policy discussion. he kept staring at my thermos. he said how do i get one of those things? after the meeting i sent one of those mugs, which cost the way $15. he wrote me a very nice note. thank you for sending. i always wanted this. here is one of the richest guys in the world writing me a note
12:33 pm

city across the country, in all 50 states, all the capitols. it might not just be relegated to the capitol. david spunt with more on all of this, joins us from the justice department. i apologize. it is bill daly, my bad on that. >> that's okay. neil: what do you make of this threat? how real is it? >> you know, neil, if we look back at other inaugurations, always been concerns over you know, violence whether in the district or elsewhere in and around inauguration. certainly in light of what has happened this past year with protests that have been hijacked by individuals, small groups of individuals who perpetrated violence the concern is certainly there. i think what the fbi is saying in the statement is that they're picking up information whether we call it background chatter or that kind of intel they picked up that at least they're seeing maybe individuals who are out there trying to perhaps consider some type of not just protest
12:45 pm
but maybe violent acts. they did say actually in the statement, neil, to be very clear, their efforts are focused on identifying, investigating, those people who are disrupting and causing violent incidents, not those people, not focused on peaceful protests which people certainly have the right to do. >> right. meanwhile in the nation's capitol out of abundant caution, 15,000 national guard troops are set to be ready to secure the district during inauguration week and right through the next two weeks. what do you make of that? this type of a presence versus prior inaugurations. it is not worthy but how do you think things will go down in the nation's capitol this week? >> certainly noteworthy. actually mayor bowser in washington had actually asked for kind of a pre-disaster declaration for d.c. which would provide both homeland security and other resources, provided.
12:46 pm
that was actually proof that homeland security and the president to be able to provide those services. so i think out of abundance of caution, especially seeing what happened last week at the capitol certainly seems to be at least on the outside woefully preparation for large events were kind of mass, you know, demonstrations with some individuals coming into the capitol, i think at this point out of abundance of caution i think those people will be held, many of those national guard units or even police, sending police not just from surrounding jurisdictions from virginia, maryland but also new york as well. those people will be more or less in the background as needed, hopefully as not needed they would be called into action by homeland security but you know, neil, this whole, surroundings of inauguration are considered to be a special national security event, guided by homeland security around the

neil: violence in washington, a lot of company said no to campaign on donations of trump supporters as well. you can see it includes elective at&t, phillips, dao, facebook and who's who of corporate america, susan li on how this goes and how long it might have a cash starvation and effect. >> welcome back, comcast, at&t joining some of the biggest cavities in america with positive political donations, the last count 41 big chips,
12:52 pm
microsoft and facebook who are positive impact donations to both parties at least until the first quarter of this year, the biggest hotel company in the world marriott and airbnb, morgan stanley say they will not donate specifically, the gop may enter members that objected to the electoral college, the big business means big money for politicians, last election cycle, america corporate tax gave 100 million to members of the house and that represents 8% of total donations, $27 million to senators around 3% of the total for senators. these are the same companies that have benefited from tax cuts and deregulation during the last four years of the path to administration, many reasons the stock markets are at the record level, after facing scrutiny and criticism for the complicity in the silence intonation, corporate america is having a rethink and possibly a step back, not just corporate america that is suffering ties, a golf

12:54 pm
those forces are being loud and clear. neil: thank you very much, susan li, the texas gop chairman, the former texas congressman retired army lieutenant colonel, as tough as they get, how are you feeling these days? >> it's good to be with you, happy new year and i'm recovering very well, had a bad accident last may off my motorcycle but by the grace of god i was staying in my lane, i lost range of movement in my shoulder but i'll be okay. neil: you're too tough to deal the sidetrack of that but i'm glad you're doing well, i want to get your take on these corporations that are holding off money to a lot of gop related causes to anyone affiliated indirectly with endorsing this protest in the electoral vote last week, it's got to be a wide net, are you
12:55 pm
worried. >> i think they should be worried more than anything else, as you were just talking to susan what will be the retribution from some conservatives as far as not wanting to participate in their services and goods and products as they are producing, the most important thing, you cannot go ask people when they're doing something according to the constitution and then objecting to the actions and processes of some of the states, you do not have, you're not supposed to have courts that are changing the election law and secretary of state or governors to change election law, that is something we all need to understand our constitution is clearly written such a later stage of branch is the one responsible for changing laws, we need to have that serious constitutional conversation and not just start to punish people because there were some issues that need to be brought up, and if they don't want to equitably do this, we can go back and look at seaward

democrats protested the electoral results from president trump and president bush and the hypocrisy is quite disturbing. neil: the violence last week was of a different making, a lot of people are seizing on that and the president hasn't been more remotes for, is pretty defiant and remarks he made roo boardedr force one dead to texas, i don't know if you'll be there but this is the president discussing the overreaction, i want you to react to this. >> i think that big tech is doing a horrible thing for our country into our country and i believe it's going to be a catastrophic mistake for them. they're dividing and divisive in their showing something that i've been predicting for a long time. neil: what he's saying, you've heard this before that they're

using this incident as a chance to go after the trump related affiliates and all social media are in on it and that they were and are. >> i will tell you first and foremost, four generations of my family have fought in combat from my dad in world war ii all the way to my nephew who is still disturbing in the military to protect our institutions, i as a member of the united states congress served in that capital so what happened last week was absolutely deplorable and it is something we cannot accept it cannot condone any political violence on the political spectrum. we have this hypocrisy when you still have a twitter that allows the ayatollah to have a twitter when he still confessing his death toward american hatred towards america. that is what is somewhat perplexed of people like me and others were sitting back and saying we don't accept what happened last wednesday, where
12:58 pm

12:59 pm
companies, 50 strong anymore who are very leery of donating politically to any causes that have anything to do with either questioning the electoral vote or aligning themselves with donald trump. >> i think it's a natural response to the actions the last several weeks but i think the reality, this is a response to pressure, pressure from multiple constituents, including shareholders, mutual funds, consumers, i think ultimately it will prevail, business has to have a voice not only the political arena the regulatory events that may not be in the best interest, i think this is going to last for a while but i don't think the door, i'm associated with some of the coverage, both part enter parties will be losers on this. if you recall the supreme court years ago adjudication that says
1:00 pm
business should have and can have a voice but ultimately i think this is strictly a response to significant overpressure, i do think probably wide response for the time being until cooler heads prevail but we'll see how it manifests going forward because there will be pressure from both parties in a business does not have a say in what goes on, business will be a big loser ultimately. neil: and wondering about social media companies, a lot of them -- i have no doubt that might be coming into play but i realize that a lot of them are looking at the legal culpability and to ignore that is to ignore a bottom line concern. whatever the cause of the controversy of going after conservative speech or even those that support donald trump. the offset is the far bigger risk to expose yourself legally to some of that more violent
1:01 pm
rhetoric. what do you think? >> i think that is true, i wish the playing field were even but it never is. i think what's going to have to happen and transpires as a consequence of all of this, they want to be stabilizing in terms of the definition of what acceptable and what's not. these are publicly held companies within their rights to determine what goes on, what goes on, despite your applicable using my political views. what is likely to happen is a competitive response. one of the great things about a system we live in if someone narrows the field on how they want to see things, there's always others who can find a way around that, they're not allowed to find a way around that that's where commission and justice department and others get involved. there is no doubt there has to be a fair amount of fear particular in the general counsel's office of all these companies about not promoting violence, not promoting the activities over the last couple of weeks. if you remember from john kerry,

teresa heinz ran for president, my phone was not very pleasant at the time because i couldn't make anybody happy. what i decided to do was make my shareholders, employees and happy in a final analysis, that's it's really important for a businessman. neil: i think right or left, that settles that. let me ask you quickly how do you think the president is reporting himself these last few days of his administration. >> i think you supporting himself the way he has over the last couple of years, i've always been an individual on policy not a person but is made extremely difficult. , a level of maturity and responsibility of needing to put the country first, frankly he's not unique in that regard, if you look at washington i have a friend who is a senator in one of my comments and complaints, look, the reality y'all up there
1:03 pm
to represent the united states of america on the trump voters and 80 million biden voters, there's a lot on both sides and we need voices and representation that take into consideration what's in the best interest of the united states and frankly i'm very concerned about that that we become a polarized society that were looking for vindictive responses, revenge, almost iniquitous behavior, one side or the other, that is got to change. neil: do you think donald trump is a political future? >> i certainly don't. again i'm not a politician, i thank my lucky stars for that virtually every day. i'm not involved in party activities on either side but i cannot imagine following the activities the last couple of weeks that he would have much in political, if he did he'd be a very divisive response from the party itself and the republican party. my hope that he decides to move
1:04 pm
on, go to the inauguration, be graceful, have a gracious exit and move into what he was very successful before and it's really a sad situation were in, multiplied by some of the behavior by the press and the media which is not been terribly fair to him but on the other hand he's brought some of it on himself. i will tell you my bigger concern right now is availability of vaccines, availability of healthcare, availability of basic needs to the american people and that is really got to be the focus right now in washington and put all the inventiveness and revenge inside, i think the damage he has done to himself as far greater then can be brought by anybody else. neil: well put, bill johnson very good catching up with you. the former heinz ceo. on the corporate line. in the meantime the president has indicated he is not going to joe biden's inauguration, as it turns out vice president mike

had the expansion underway is been tremendously successful, far beyond what anyone thought, the wall has made a tremendous difference, i think some of you are coming with me but the wall has made a tremendous difference on the southern border. neil: that was the president before taking texas, the city of the rio grande valley near the border, the president is going to be talking about the fact that he helped provide 400 miles of wall building, some democrats dispute those numbers, the president will be there spelling all-out, the last week of his presidency we have casey stegall in alamo texas with more. >> good to see you, this is president trump's first big trip and public appearance since last week's siege against the u.s. capital and also he has just a little bit more than a week to go until inauguration day, the white house says it would now
1:10 pm
like to spend the remaining time highlighting what it considers to be the largest accomplishments for the trump presidency and border security in the border wall is on that list, 450 miles of wall has been built, a large chunk of that replaced smaller existing barriers that were already in place. but today the president will be visiting this area and checking in on the progress in south texas. >> i appreciate the president's leadership on this issue and i look forward to looking with the newer administration to make border security a priority in the 117th congress. >> mass distraction not because he has any real compliment in the wall that mexico never paid for and he really could not build.
1:11 pm
>> president-elect biden has vowed to stop construction of the border wall and also rolled back some of trump's immigration policies, noting that that process could take about six months or so because they don't want to make any big changes all at once right out of the gate fearing that could create more problems and it could in fact create another humanitarian crisis like we saw here earlier along the us-mexico border, a lot to be determined but this is a bit of a victory lap today for president trump. neil: casey stegall in alamo texas, the president should be here in another 40 minutes, i think is going to address folks in an hour and a half. we will keep you posted on that, the new york post editorial board member and you think of just the backdrop of all of this impeachment vote that kicks off
1:12 pm
as soon as tomorrow in the single article of impeachment is incitement of insurrection, leave it at that and that might be as far as it goes to vote in the house, a little likely of the senate taken the matter at all, what do you think. >> i think it's a bad idea i think donald trump did create the conditions he helped create the conditions for what happened wednesday which was horrifying to hear about, watch the video but trump, i do not think directly incited in insurrection. he did say to a rally right beforehand that he wanted them to march peacefully and patriotically to the capital to make their voices heard. it is clear that some of the people there had plans before they even heard trump's speak to cause trouble, the police have arrested people with restraints, zip ties, they found explosives nearby, clearly a lot of these
1:13 pm
people were there to cause trouble is not donald trump's words that indicated them to do that, they were determined to do that before they got there. neil: i'm just wondering he knows that there's always volatile members, obviously quite a few who got inside the building, legally. and violently and have not heard anything even hinting on his part, maybe just say stubborn, blameless to the end but it just seems sad to me. >> it does, he should apologize, yet he had two months of reckless talk about a stolen election, he did encourage some people and again, it helped create an atmosphere but i don't
1:14 pm
think -- he is clearly not going to be out of office any sooner than january 20th. i don't think it's an idea to take the remedies and make them a vocal point. i think donald trump's term is over and should be over after this happened. but to make extra points by using constitutional remedies that don't really apply here, i don't think it's right and i think people are not addressing the feeling that 74 million voters have, almost half the voters entirely think that biden did not win fairly. i think there were some issues, clearly i don't think the election was stolen and i think trump has moved on when talking about that. but i think you should be punished by having no more
1:15 pm
political career i don't think it's necessary and really what were looking for in america the economy is in ruin, the pandemic is raging, is this the best use of the house and eventually the senate's time and biden himself is not calling for impeachment he wants to hit the ground running and he should have the opportunity to do so and not be in the shadow of donald trump. neil: i know will see more of you joining us in the next segment, always good of hearing from you. don't wander too far. i want to go to my buddy jeff flock in chicago, we talked about the economy and serious concerns it could be in serious shape, he is seeing it right along the magnificent mile. >> a little less magnificent on this day when you have everything must go signs on the biggest door on the magnificent mile it is not a good story, this is a problem, this is

1:21 pm
state of new york right now, obviously concerned about billions of revenue that have been lost, hopefully inviting a administration can get some of that quad back but in a world of hurt and a response to say we can't keep doing this much longer. >> it certainly doesn't give people confidence that the decision up to this point has been made purely on medical grounds and not on political grounds. of course we do have a higher caseload now than we did when for example indoor dining was shut down in the city, does not give people confidence, the decisions are made and unbiased way in a political way, that is old news with andrew cuomo but especially with regard to the vaccine, this is all on the governor and it's a scandal, it's always about the same side and read turn to people and as of new york city, the brady vaccinated 80 - 90% of the folks who were between 70 and 80 and
1:22 pm
they're working on folks between 60 and 70. they are getting this done in andrew cuomo is not. look in the mirror it's a scandal how badly the vaccine rollout has gone in the past few weeks in new york. neil: think about is more than a vaccine, whether they have indoor dining, operating or not. whether the restricting kids in person classes or schools or not, the spikes are continuing even then in the crackdown now. you just wonder no matter what you seem to be trying, new york is not the only one but no matter what you seem to try, does not work. how are you going to dial this back, he opened the idea of reopening the state because obviously they cannot afford much longer but it might be a case of too little too late. >> you are right and when i heard andrew cuomo utter those words i just cannot believe it i think if you look up hutch podge
1:23 pm
and a dictionary there is a picture of governor cuomo people like myself and others at the new york post and other publications have been baking him for months to reopen new york because jobs are dying. this is the guy by the way who close indoor dining, which data show, he released that same day that 1.43% of covid spread could be traced indoor dining. this is not science-based, the national unappointed rate right now is around 6.7% in new york city it is nearly double its 12.1%, this is not sustainable and embodies waking up to it now but what if he does a recognizes the problem he still has not done anything to fix it. it is freezing outside open up restaurants, let people get back to work, they are begging. neil: outdoor dining i don't know if you've taken advantage of that, some places have outdoor dining but i am curious and you can help me obviously new york is dealing with the
1:24 pm
issue of the rise of crime and certainly kept people out new york city but all of this is combining right now to leave the state desperate for a bailout, not the only one, new jersey looking for similar funding and a host of other states as well, i don't know there is enough money to help them all. >> this is a consequence, i actually have to wonder if this turnaround from governor cuomo has to be one or two things or perhaps both, donald trump is set to exit office to blame for anything that goes wrong in his state, but also the state unlike the federal government cannot. money and with everything close, the state government is feeling the pinch at this point, the government is seen in enormous drops in revenue and a lot of liberal projects that andrew cuomo would like to fund, he would like to get credit for continuing and starting new ones, there is no money and that's why they're turning to a defense for a bailout.
1:25 pm
republicans in the past had strongly objected to have not objected to relief individual relief especially somebody like josh hawley or some folks who work with the left and tries to raise it and unite between the populace right and left on the issue the republicans have been strong in objecting to bailing out the states in part because a lot has to do with bad spending decisions that go decades and decades but maybe that's what he wants to open and maybe because finally the state government is feeling the pinch that americans have been feeling for month-to-month at this point. neil: it could be the businesses that let him know and they're not casting any political spurgeon's if you're not going to go open up things we will go to a place that is. it is a world of hurt. thank you both very much. in the meantime to jeff flock, a lot of people are hurting everywhere. illinois is a good example, chicago, something called a
1:26 pm
retail magnificent mile and anything but these days, it is a tough road to follow. jeff what does it look like there? >> similar situation, you mentioned new york a similar situation in th illinois and chicago and some places are not coming back this is a legendary water tower a temple of shopping in the biggest tenant has always been originally marshall fields but macy's is shutting the store down, the biggest tenant on the magnificent mile, 300,000 square feet. if you look up and down this is magnificent or had been magnificent it is closing across the street, toys "r" us, you know where they are vacancy rates, if you look at the numbers they can see rate on this magnificent mile was about 6% recently as three years ago it is almost tripled that once you factor in the latest
1:27 pm
closings both macy's as well as the gap shutting at supply ships store down as well. at the same time you talk about the impact of state and local governments, the governor of illinois, he has the same problem as governor cuomo which is a decline in revenue and what he's doing, there was a part of a carrier's act that allowed these small businesses to carry their losses back, the losses this year back to previous tax years to free up some money so they can survive, he's going to do away with that he is not going to allow that to happen in illinois and that's going to cross small businesses about 500 million extra tax dollars that they could have used to try to whether this pandemic. i don't know -- shortsighted comes to mind i don't know but the business is not just like macy's behind me but small businesses like the restaurants in the businesses that are supported by these, as you point
1:28 pm
out in good phrase, world of hurt i don't know when it will get better. neil: i was just wondering knowing 280 - $290 billion worth of ppe fund is going to be coming to a lot of hurting businesses, i would assume many in the chicago area, is not seen as a promising development -- will it be enough? >> particular was small businesses, it is, they invested their survival but you have a macy's, a lot of people come to macy's, a lot of restaurants people come to with magnificent mile that benefit from all the traffic, you shut this traffic off once they get past the ppe, i worry about chicago i have lived here for 40 years and worked here for 40 years and i worry about a big city like this in the long-term impacts. neil: you are not alone i look

and pretty successful at that, the economy under mnuchin did pretty well as treasury secretary and he was the longest as member, he did four years most treasury secretary's burnout after a couple and he would've done another term i'm pretty sure if donald trump won reelection. they believe is what i have a decent time trying to get people to invest because he did a good job, the hollywood thing is much more speculative given the left lurch of hollywood whether people would want to work for him in her pursui producer trade directed, although actresses need work just like everybody else. the other trump officials is very mixed, here is why, if they want to go back to corporate america and get a job at a big bank and many of economic officials, some non-economic roles filtered into wall street another going back to the biden of administration as you know

the vaccine in the confusion of who gets what and when is a slow rollout but a rollout at least combined with concerns of next week in washington what could happen protest across the country in stocks holding up just fine, thank you. what do you think of that? >> i interpret that very positively and i'll tell you why people forget buying and selling means of markets are working normally. the fact that we haven't sold off hard in the face of all of this where we would've a couple years ago is tremendously reassuring it means the money is still focused on the get out and stay out trade when the world heals. neil: is a tough market to read. obviously as you reminded me over the years, the markets are looking at the president, they're looking beyond and that came through last week when the middle of all the violence and appraising in d.c. stocks were merely advancing hoping to see that this was short-lived but
