this hour fox business team coverage blake burman at the white house, jeff flock at chicago's o'hare airport, jackie deangelis and susan li both in our new york newsroom and ashley webster reporting from florida. blake ahead of the big speech by the president-elect, many investors are looking to stimulus. we saw jobless claims surging this morning maybe adding more to it. let's kick it off with you. what is the latest there? reporter: remember connell, when democrats and republicans negotiated the last deal at the end of last year, democrats came down two trillion dollars from the initial ask. part of the belief the president-elect when democrats will have full control of washington six days from now will ask for roughly 2 trillion-dollar economic relief package. when we heard from the president-elect, he had this announcement. he will speak a few hours from now. he didn't shy away from the possibility of asking for a multitrillion dollar stimulus

package. listen. >> we'll be in the trillions of dollars, the entire package. the basic story is simple, if we don't ask now things will get much worse and harder to get out of a hole later. reporter: we'll hear from him in a few hours. the biden team publicly has not put forth the exact details. we know what the president-elect and democrats have been talking about. more direct payments. funding for state an local governments. enhanced unemployment benefits. expanding the child tax care credit. these are things that they want. we will hear from the president-elect later this evening, potentially to unveil those specifics, connell. connell: big for the markets, blake, this would be the first economic plan right out of the gate for the new administration? reporter: first out of the gate from the president-elect. really not the only thing, connell this could be a multitrillion dollar package. but president-elect biden talked about for example, tax reform. he also wants a major, as do

democrat as major infrastructure package. we heard from the president-elect last week call for congress to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. so what we hear from the president-elect tonight will likely be the first major proposal but there could be a lot more coming later this year, connell, as well. connell: we'll talk about this in more detail later on in the hour. blake, thank you. on to the twitter ceo jack dorsey now as he is speaking out, doubling down on the decision to ban president trump's account while also acknowledging that decision did set a dangerous precedent. let's get to susan li in the newsroom with more on this. susan. reporter: that's right. jack dorsey saying there are consequences to their actions. the trump ban was not something, not a decision to celebrate in his words. he acknowledged yes, to ban an account has real and significant ramifications of course. while there are clear and obvious exceptions i feel a ban is a failure of our ultimately to promote healthy conversation

at a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us. that was part of a long, 13-tweet thread last night concluding it was ultimately the right decision he said to ban president trump for what he called social safety but forcing private companies to make these types of decisions also sets a dangerous precedent. he added that the internet should be not controlled by a single individual or single entity. social media giant snapchat joining twitter and facebook permanently banning president trump's 250 million or so visit snapchat. twitter has slightly less. both are way behind facebook which has over two billion daily users. all three social media giants banned or suspended, terminatorred trump linked accounts. wall street has sold down facebook and twitter shares. they lost a combined $60 trillion in market value. investors are concerned banning the u.s. president which sets

open doors to future controversy, less engagement, advertising dollars and that hurts the business. connell: while we're talking about the social media, susan what is the latest on the parler hearing? reporter: that hearing taking place in seattle. >> washington, parler accusing amazon of breaching their contract and antitrust. the initial arguments along the same lines we heard on sunday evening. will this be overturned? some say that as a private company amazon web services can stand their ground. we'll see, parler ceo, as you know, reported connell, he says he doesn't think, he is concerned that the social media site may never come back. connell: yeah, may not make it through all of this. so much going on in the tech world especially social media. susan, thank you. get to the airline industry as we all know really feeling the pain from the pandemic. now the delta ceo, ed bastion is

optimistic about the future. he spoke to our own liz claman in the past hour. >> i think we'll be profitable this summer. that requires that the vaccines become distributed at a you higher pace and we the country take necessary steps to combat covid and put the virus into a contained mode. connell: jeff flock at chicago's o'hare airport following new pandemic guidelines coming out of the cdc and i know the airport as well. jeff? reporter: ed bastion may be positive about the future, the latest regulations that take effect does not bode well for the air travel industry. take a look at new restrictions from the cdc. essentially anyone traveling into the u.s. from overseas whether you're a u.s. citizen or not you have to get a positive, or i should say a negative covid test before you get on the airplane. if you don't, if you can't provide proof you will not be allowed to board in the country

from which you're leaving. it must be a pcr or a rapid test. you have to have it within 72 hours of your flight. even if you had a vaccine or you had the virus and have recovered, which suggests you may have some immunity you still have to have a negative test. this may mean some u.s. citizens coming back through these doors you see behind me at o'hare, traveling passengers from overseas, those folks may not be able to be admitted into the u.s. in fact may not be able to get on the plane if they don't have proof that the test is negative. liz, also talked to ed bastion about the possibility this regulation could be put in place domestically. here was his response? >> domestically i don't think that is practical. at delta we carry domestically one million people a week. to be able to demonstrate covid tests or vaccine inoculations currently it, would cripple this industry. reporter: cripple this industry.

something else that may cripple travel a little bit. chicago tomorrowismly meants new regulations on travel into the city. essentially traveling from a state with more than 15 covid positives among 100,000 population, you have to 10-day quarantine or have a negative covid test. that is essentially every state in the union has almost, almost every state has that situation. 500-dollar fines if you don't comply. tightening restrictions, connell. connell: a lot of places but that is really tight. so $500 fine if you don't comply. it is tough to police those things as we found out over the last number of months. are people there from talking to them anecdotally planning on abiding? how do you think this will all play out? >> i don't want to be a cynic but maybe that is our job. yeah, the people we've talked to, there is plenty of evidence that folks ignore that regularly. there is no suspicion -- funny,

my daughter lives in poland. when she flew back into poland from the u.s., they made her put an app on her phone so they could track her to make certain she quarantined 10 days. they checked up on her. will that happen in the u.s.? i don't go on too long of a limb when i say no chance, connell. connell: totally different culture. good to see you as always, jeff flock. let's go to the virus itself to look at some of the numbers. the u.s. reporting more than 3800 deaths. that is down from the record on tuesday. still it is more than the daily levels that were reported last year. more than 200,000 new cases added. that is the ninth day in a rewe've seen that number. largely filled in by record total from arizona and california but the virus is surging in other areas as well. new york, now reporting more than 200 daily deaths for the first time since back in may. in pennsylvania, officials say the number of hospitalizations nearly double the peak that was

experienced during the spring. with that the cdc does say more than 11 million people have been given the first dose of a vaccine. pharmacies are getting set to administer millions of shots. ashley webster picks up that part of the story. he is at a publix in palm coast, florida. ashley. reporter: connell, you mentioned the 11 million doses already been given. that is out of 50 million that have been delivered. so there has been some criticism about a slow rollout. the pharmacy inside of the publix behind me just began giving vaccines to patients. in fact the publix pharmacy is part of a pilot program. it began in 22 locations in just three counties in florida but the governor, ron desantis says it was so efficient and so well- run he expanded it to include 100 elation cast. listen. >> we were going to different stores. everyone was really happy.

it was a professionally-run operation. they said they can do more. and so for this week, as we got more shipment in, we said we've got to do more for publix so they can get it into our communities. reporter: guess what? sometimes the private sector can do it better than the government. in this particular case publix, the health care workers are of course given priority. long-term care residents and staff. people 65 years old and older. the publix pharmacy said they can see up to 125 patients per day. it is absolutely free. they are providing the moderna vaccine. so they will be given a shot. you go online. book your date and time for your appointment here at the supermarkets to get your shopping an vaccine. you come back in 28 days time to get the second shot. it has been very, very successful. i wouldn't be surprised, connell, we see more and more publix pharmacies across the state getting online. we can put people through the

pharmacies at a much rapid rate, especially those 65 years and older. the cdc had not included that group. florida went ahead by itself included that group. now by the way the cdc also added 65 and above. 60% of the vaccines already given in florida have been to that age group, 65 plus. back to you. connell: i know here in new york, i'm sure the case in many other states, they would love to see the private companies, pharmacies, in addition to companies like that, cvs, walgreens, get more involved. it is tough to get a appointment at government sites. hopefully this spreads. thank you, ashley webster live in florida. now to the protection being put in place for our nation's capitol. extreme security measures are being put in place ahead of the inauguration next week. we'll take you there to washington to get the very latest in just a moment. there is high demand at disneyland's vaccine super site. we'll take you there live as well. that is later in the hour.

we'll talk about the future of the gop a little bit today. congresswoman nancy mace, a republican freshman coming on, talking about a path forward for the party. trying to bridge a growing divide. >> we need to acknowledge there is a problem, take responsibility for it and stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless every day. and having more days is possible with verzenio, proven to help you live significantly longer when taken with fulvestrant. verzenio + fulvestrant is for women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after hormone therapy. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign, call your doctor, start an anti-diarrheal, and drink fluids.

that's a-e-r-o trainer.com. ♪. connell: the national guard, concrete barriers and razor wire, security measures are tightening around the u.s. capitol. less than a week to go until president-elect joe biden's inauguration. jennifer griffin is on the scene with the latest. reporter: hi, connell. national security officials who i talked to say they are trying to deter an attack on the inauguration. they have a number of threat streams after the riots on january 6th, requests by the capitol hill police along with mayor bowser and others. you're seeing the buildup behind me, up to 20,000 national guard troops will be in the capitol by january 20th for the inauguration. they will stay after the inauguration as well for an indefinite period of time until those threats go away. right now we have seen in recent

moments really thousands of fresh troops arrive here at the capitol. they brought with them their m-4 rifles, their full battle gear. they're putting up concertina wire, barbed-wire on the fencing. there are no civilians walking around capitol hill within several blocks of the capitol. what you see behind me is more what you would expect at fort campbell or fort drum with a soldier presence. again we're hearing that the national security officials have had calls interagency calls with state governors because they're worried now that they have hardened the u.s. capitol and the washington, d.c., area, groups that might have wanted to cause harm or disrupt the inauguration may spread out to state capitals. they're warning governors about that. security officials tell me they're closing basement parking

lots in d.c. near the capitol, pushing the parameter of the new barbed-wire fencing a few blocks from the capitol itself. the capitol hill police are quite unnerved by last week's request, and they are requesting more and more guard authorization. again twice what was mobilized from the obama inauguration when threats were extremely high. one website the feds are monitoring, has 1.7 million followers, calling for 100,000 armed protesters to disrupt the inauguration. the feds are taking taking that seriously. there have been requests by the police for 50-caliber machine guns. that has not been signed off on by the pentagon. security officials are weighing whether to ban trucks from the capitol fearing vehicle-born ieds or truck bombs. as one national security official put it to me i don't underestimate any of these groups especially what we saw last week. many have members with military

training. in fact the pentagon is concerned about how many veterans were seen breaching the capitol. the mayor is urging visitors to stay home from the inauguration. back to you. connell: boy, that is some kind of a buildup, jennifer. plenty of people are wondering why at least some of these troops were not in place before january 6th, right? reporter: there is a good reason for it. remember there were 340 unarmed national guard troops were authorized for the january 6th protest. they were supposed to be traffic cops. that was all that was requested by capitol hill police and the d.c. mayor. the national guard does not have the authority to just come in to the capitol when they feel like it. they have to be requested. it is a formal procedure. it takes time to call them up. and that is why there was so many fingerpointing after the attack on the capitol and people wanted to know where were the national guard? they hadn't been requested in advance. now they have. they are building up. that is what you're seeing line us. that is why these scenes of, to

protect the capitol and to prevent any sort of disruption during the inauguration on january 20th. back to you. connell: amazing double the obama inaugural when you think about it. jennifer griffin live from washington. let's bring in bill daly in on this, former fbi agent, control risk group senior vice president. good to see you, bill. you've been under these circumstances. jennifer brought up a number of interesting points. the fact we're so focused on washington, the authorities, i'm sure this is bothering people at the fbi, are worried about other cities and other state capitals and other places if we take our eye off the ball or resources even, should we be worried about other parts of the country next week or so? >> connell, the fbi bip put notice out to various state governments letting them know that this could find its way into and around the areas of the capitol or major cities. this is something we talked

about, jennifer speaking about the security in and around washington, d.c., certainly around the event, the inauguration event, because it's a national level security event run by doj, dod, providing support, that of itself will be very secure. it is the periphery areas. the periphery in and around the washington, d.c., area, as we suggested pushes it out into major cities. that is where the concern is, where you don't have the presence, you don't have the trained professionals in crowd control. police officers may be limited to their kind of smaller staff or people who have been trained in crowd control and don't have, have that support, that is where the concern is. that is why the fbi is monitoring various kind of chat rooms, background noise. any information that comes about that may give more information to state and local governments as to how they can quickly respond to an incident. connell: "the washington post" had a report this afternoon that

dozens of people who were on the fbi's terrorist watch list came in to d.c. on the 6th. if that is true, you know, many of them they say were suspected white supremacists. people they knew of with past activities, what would you say about the idea at least some of this seems to be an intelligence failure, that fair? >> well i, it could be intelligence, doesn't sound like intelligence lack of gathering. it may be, you know, dissemination, getting it to the right people in order to get the right resources. i think right now leading up to the inauguration again, because of the special protocols in place around being a special security event and also the fact that actually they have moved up the timeline. it was moved up the other day by authorization by the white house in order to provide some more support early on. normally this type of support wouldn't kick in until today or tomorrow but kicked in a day ahead of time. hopefully meshing of all the resources together, preparation time, will give authorities in

washington the information they need to be able to disseminate it more quickly and accurately. i think command-and-control around these special security events, whether it is something like this, whether around the super bowl a couple other major events around the u.s. during the course of the year classified in this way, they do have strong command-and-control. it is run by people who are used to dealing with large events, large crowds. they're well-prepared. they do a lot of practices, tabletop and other types of exercises. connell: right. >> i'm confident around the event it is going to be good. the concern is as other people expressed, what happens when these fringe groups are in the same city but not at the inauguration or elsewhere? do you run into an issue where they confront each other? connell: all right. bill, we'll keep watching it. always good to have your expertise with us. bill daly formally of the fbi. we have a "fox business alert" from lyft, the company lyft. it is out with an update on the plan to keep the community safe and continue operations in the

washington, d.c. region and across the country. it is also encouraging drivers to report suspicious activity to local authorities. that is uber's rival lyft gets set for next week's inauguration. we'll be right back

"wall street journal" editorial page assistant editor, robert wolf joins us former economic advisor to president obama. they're both fox news contributors. robert, tell us what you like the headline to be which is a pretty big speech from the president-elect. >> thank you. james how you are, connell, thanks for having me on. this is pandemic relief package. stimulus is term used but why is it relief? look at today's jobless claims and look at unemployment. we have 18 million people collecting unemployment assistance. one in five businesses closing. we're near a million people filing for jobless claims this week. we have incredible food insecurity, home evict shuns. we know all the things we're having and we have a pandemic spiraling out of control. we've been saying all along without public health you can't have economic health, vice versa. we're in a situation, we need a big and bold package because we took off six to eight months on

a package that we should have had. the last package yes was 900 billion. it didn't do really enough. it would i would say almost, just filling a space for a 30-day period. so i'm hopeful that he does more direct payments. maybe 1400, to make it 2000 per family. i also think, per person. i also think we need to make sure we're extending unemployment benefits. we're making sure there is moratorium on evictions. that i think we talked about the stimulus like infrastructure and green energy and things that we need to do. connell: right. how close can the republicans come to kind of meeting the president-elect at least on some of this, james? marco rubio and others already talked about the 2000-dollar checks but what do you think they will insist has to be in the agreement if they're going to agree or maybe more importantly, what has to be left out? >> well, i think the, their big ask likely to be liability

protection for those businesses that have been crushed. a lot of retail restaurants especially, trying to reopen. i think their concern they don't want trial lawyers to now descend on these struggling restaurants just as they're starting to reopen again. i think they also probably will argue that the stimulus we need is more reopening. i also think they're going to rule out especially some of those things robert just mentioned at the end there. if this become as kind of a wish-list of green energy ideas and other things that really have nothing to do with virus response i think that's, that is going to be a deal-breaker as well for any republicans who -- >> i'm not saying this is in this package. connell: i have to jump on you for a second, guys. i believe we have the vice president speaking right now. we want to listen to this because he is at fema

headquarters. we have inauguration security, a top pick we discussed already. the vice president is addressing it right now. listen for a minute. here is what he is saying. >> i'm looking forward today to hear about the efforts for deploying the full resources of the federal government to insure that both of those occur and i look forward to the details of those efforts. and, let me, let me just say to each and everyone of you, it has been my great honor to serve as your vice president and should this be the last time we're together, let me extend my gratitude to each one of you for your service as well. our aim here, the american people can be confident, is that we're going to insure that we have a safe inauguration that president-elect joe biden, vice president-elect kamala harris are sworn in as the new president and vice president of the united states in a manner

consistent with our history, our traditions in a way that gives honor to the american people and to the united states. so with that acting secretary gaynor, your thoughts on our preparations? >> good afternoon, mr. vice president. welcome back to fema headquarters. always freight to have you here in the house. >> thank you. >> following the events of january 6th, we all have concerns, deep concerns regarding the safety of the upcoming inauguration. however i have the utmost confidence in the agencies and law enforcement partners who have developed in are implementing a comprehensive security plans. in my short couple of days here i have reached out to most people and again confidence should be high. the national special security event, nsee, are a whole of government effort. that is the way we like to payment. it is most efficient and highlighted cooperation with

federal, state, local partners. this is the also the 57th over all nsse. nearly 200 agencies have come together to insure the safety and security of government officials, facilities and the general public. dhs with the lead responsibility for design, planning and invitation for security operations in coordination with our inneragency partners, for the 2021 inauguration has designated this event as a national security special event. and finally, sir, u.s. secret service assumes a mandate road as the lead federal agency for design and implementation of the operational security plan. the fbi has the lead responsibility for domestic intelligence, counterterrorism, investigations of crimes and fema has the responsibility for emergency management and consequence management. so with that i will pass it to director bunning of the u.s. secret service. >> with that, thank you, sir. thank you, mr. vice president, appreciate the opportunity to

talk to you about -- connell: that is live from fema headquarters in washington, d.c., we wanted to dip that for a moment and few reasons. inauguration security is at the top of everybody's mind right now. the vice president saying they're confident they can keep things safe. also interesting to see, we'll keep track what he actually says, chris wray, the director of the fbi is part of that group at fema. he was sitting at the conference table. we haven't seen much from the fbi director. we'll monitor his comments in a moment. bring back robert wolf, james freeman. apologies for cutting into the conversation we were having about stimulus but you know that is the way of the world right now. robert, pick it up, give both a chance to kind of extend the president-elect's speech is coming up tonight. robert you were about to respond, you were talking about whether some of these green energy priorities would be included and whatnot. go ahead and -- >> i just want to bifurcate for your viewers that there is a difference between the relief

package that we hope is done with 60 plus votes in the senate versus the infrastructure package that will include green energy, roads bridges, 5g. that will be a stimulus for the recovery. that hopefully will take place sometime end the first quarter, second quarter. that may have to be done with budget reconciliation. i certainly don't hope that this upcoming relief package that mt. elect will be announcing tonight will need to use budget reconciliation but i just want to clarify one relief package versus what i would call stimuluses. connell: okay. james, respond to that. the other thing i want to make sure we bring up to you is a lot of guests come on with us, the biggest stimulus we could have right now is the vaccine. we all know for whatever reason we had our issues around the country in terms of the rollout of the vaccine. we talked about some of those earlier this hour. i don't know exactly what president-elect biden will say

tonight but james, do you think we should, i think it is fair to say he probably will go in this direction, take a more national approach as opposed to leaving as much of it as we have up to the states? if so, might that get the economy going quicker if we were able to speed things up? what are your thoughts? >> i would say the state experience argues against that because you've seen slow rollouts and we've seen these awful situations like in new york state where they have actually thrown doses of vaccine in the trash because it was so difficult to comply with the rules where you had to make sure you weren't giving them to the wrong people in the pecking order or you would get fines. so i think when we've seen less bureaucrat i can approaches in states like west virginia and south dakota have worked better to get vaccine rollout than places like new york. i don't think that argues from another layer of bureaucracy from washington on top. as far as the, i think robert is

correct, obviously probably knows more about what team biden is thinking than i am, there are expected to be two bills. the first one entirely funded with debt and the second one with the heavy tax increases. whether it is the spending or the taxes, i'm hoping that robert may be a voice of caution here as we go into another sort of emergency spending round after really a historic year that has brought federal debt held by the public up to 22 trillion. connell: you're both voices of caution to some extent, right. thank you, robert and james for working through the vice president's comments and we'll look forward to the speech. move on to the blue exodus we're seeing to some degree could be process of flipping u.s. politics in red states upside down. jackie deangelis has been reporting on this and joins us. reporter: good afternoon,

connell. blue states like illinois, new york, california, move out of residents. west coasters are going to texas. east coasters are going to florida. no coincidence that texas and florida are red states that don't collect income tax. businesses remote pandemic working there, realize they don't need to be in blue states either. the financial markets considering moving their locations. tesla going to texas. hewlett-packard and oracle moving to texas as well. notable wall street banks and businessman. remember carl icahn and david tepper? they went to florida. even the president and his family have left new york for the sunshine state. people are realizing high tax rates, high housing costs, strict regulations they made it challenging to live, work, do business those parts of country. as people leave blue states to red states they're not changing way they vote. making red states purple.

john cornyn said texas is no longer a reliably red state. >> a third of our population, about 20% of our total population from international migration. and then the balance of it, about 34% of our total population change is from domestic migration. when we look at that, california accounts for over 40% of the domestic migrants coming into texas. reporter: irony here, connell that people are leaving the blue states because of these restrictive policies right, but they're not owning up to, at least internally why they left. so they go to these red states and they take their blue votes with them and that could change how we see the dominos fall in politics. connell: yeah. might already be happening to your point. more down the line. really interesting, kind of demographic story, jackie. thank you. brings us into a conversation now about the future of the gop which we've been talking about

the loss few days as republicans look to life after a trump presidency. one freshman in the house is calling on both sides to find a solution. we are joined by the south carolina congresswoman nancy mace who has been outspoken, thank you, congresswoman, for coming on with us over the last week. >> good afternoon. liz: been critical of president trump. you did not however vote for his impeachment. you called for him to be censured. >> right. liz: i was struck by a few of your comments. one i wanted to ask you since we have a business audience was interesting, the president is already being held accountable for his actions in many ways. one of the things you said capitalism is holding him accountable. what did you mean by that? >> well we're seeing banks and businesses and social media like twitter making those kinds of business decisions and it is also having a ripple effect where republicans who objected largely ceremonial vote to certify the electoral college are also making those decisions. the media is also holding him

accountable as well. my frustration with the impeachment process that just totally derailed due process under the constitution and the rule of law. really sort of made a charade out of it and the process what should have been a very serious process. because the house has every right to do that. that is why i was discussing the bicameral, bipartisan effort for censure. there were republicans and democrats felt they wanted to hold the president accountable. that was one way to do that in bipartisan way, to do that in both chambers but unfortunately not given the opportunity to debate it or bring it up for a vote by speaker nancy pelosi. she didn't want the option because she wanted more partisan unconstitutional impeachment process. connell: you're not planning on attending president-elect's biden inauguration because you're worried about safety. >> i am. connell: personal safety or worries about it factor at all in to your decision on impeachment? >> no. my personal safety didn't factor into impeachment.

as a constitutional conservative that, the constitution is my guiding principle in every decision. when i saw the impeachment process totally throwing away due process and bypassing the judiciary committee, even if you think the president is guilty as hell the precedent, the dangerous precedent to throw away due process for any citizen is wrong. it bypasses rule of law in this country. so that is something that i take very seriously. the constitution is the reason i voted to certify the electoral college because you knew that congress didn't have the power or authority to throw out an election that has been certified legally in all 50 states. just like the vice president didn't have the authority to overthrow the election either. so we have to be consistent in how we read, look at and interpret the constitution. that is one thing that i'm, i've tried to emphasize over the last few days but also to your, to your remarks earlier, we have to take responsibility for our words and our actions. that is my message today.

to both republicans, democrats. this is not the first act violee we've seen this year. we've seen it across the country in nine months. i'm asking our colleagues to be better. connell: what about your message, though, congresswoman to supporters of the president, many whom i assume are your constituents. >> right. connell: conservative republican yourself, even though you've been outspoken the president how he handled himself many supporters voted for you. >> yeah. connell: what do you say to them? many do, polls show this, anecdotally, they believe he won the election even though our objective reporting shown that is not a fact. >> right. connell: if they believe that, and you're saying what you're saying how do you include them in the conversation going forward? how do you kind of thread that needle? >> well i, i'm just trying to tell the truth and be honest with voters. voters were really fleeced in this election cycle. they were told congress could overthrow the election. they were told the

vice president could overturn the election. all of that was false. it led to high hopes and emotions, violence. the best i can do is be honest with the american people, tell them the truth even when we don't like the outcome. unfortunately it doesn't really matter now. election integrity and voter fraud all those things we accomplished or tried to work for over the last four years -- [inaudible]. all of that was tossed away, wiped out on wednesday. we literally have to start from scratch. rebuild our nation and also rebuild our party. the republicans and democrats over the last nine months -- violence but last wednesday all of our gains are gone unfortunately. connell: all right, congresswoman, nancy mace. good conversation. i hope we keep it going. congratulations on your win. >> thank you so much. connell: as we monitor the security briefing at fema we dipped into a moment ago. the secret service director said they're highly confident in the security plan they have in

place. chris wray, the fbi director, you see speaking on the screen in the video we're showing you now, they're seeing an extensive amount of online chatter of threats to the inauguration. they're concerned about the potential for violence. he has said more than 100 people arrested also since the siege on the capitol last week. those are some the headlines coming out of that briefing that continues. we'll continue with our coverage in just a moment mobile app so you can quickly check the markets? yeah, actually i'm taking one last look at my dashboard before we board. excellent. and you have thinkorswim mobile- -so i can finish analyzing the risk on this position. you two are all set. have a great flight. thanks. we'll see ya. ah, they're getting so smart. choose the app that fits your investing style. ♪♪ metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless every day. and having more days is possible with verzenio,
