next week. ♪ ♪ >> big tech in the president of the united states twitter permanently suspending president trump's account as facebook box on at least until joe biden's inauguration the 20th. threats of violence and even assassination continue to flourish on social media. hello and welcome to america's news headquarters, i am eric shawn. arthel: . hello, everyone. the crackdown coming after wednesday's that the capitol hill right. five people died, including capital police officer, brian.

social media companies are accusing the president of using his account to promote violence while conservative critics say fans are an assault on free speech. we have fox news team coverage, but at the white house with more on the follow-up. hillary vaughn is in delaware with the biden teams reaction, plans for the integration and coming up, eric, the twitter controversy. we will start in atlanta were child's watson has more details on the cyber crackdown. >> manning president trump's account, there's some questioning and accusing the tech companies when it comes to policing as opposed to liberties, the acting commissioner of u.s. customs and border protection saying conservatives and trump administration are constantly being taken down, the actions

are rarely taken against liberals at the same time. >> this is about individuals positions of power and different critical are the ideological opinions. they try to set us down. >> twitter, facebook, instagram and others suspending president trump's accounts on their platform after the president was accused of inciting a violent mob with supporters storming the u.s. capital social media now engaging the showdown with the app and so-called free speech kat for allegedly helping incite riots at the capital. apple is threatening to do the same. this is an attack on basic civil liberties and rights to free speech. social media giants are in a tug-of-war as both democrats and hooligans criticized actions against the president.

walking tweeting facebook and twitter finally banned donald trump from the platforms. it seems they only did after he could no longer damage their businesses. ted cruz said big tech censorship and abuse of power is absurd and profoundly dangerous. if you agree with text current biases, iran good, ask yourself when you disagree what happens. this could turn out to be bad business for twitter after they took down the president's account. it began trending on the website. trump supporters on twitter twitter. arthel: thank you. eric. eric: twitter and facebook's decisions, the new pressure on parlor, what you think? >> this looks like a classic case of political payback against the president who tried

to crackdown on the social media giant. twitter is claiming the president was glorifying violence. maybe you could make the argument with the original 12 hour fan while the seat of the capital was taking place in terms of what president trump was tweeting but the president is saying for those who ask are not going to the inauguration january 20, that's been perceived by some people as reason to tweak threats about another assault on the capital. i don't see how you lay that . look at the contrary. the same thing today, thousands and thousands of tweets trending on twitter have the following words, hank mike pence. that is apparently okay. that's not glorification of violence, we are seeing highly selective enforcement here. eric: that's even a # right now on twitter. but what about those who say the president has brought this upon himself by years of falsehoods

on twitter talking about the election being sold and rick, no evidence of that and he's brought this upon himself? >> that's certainly what the critics are saying. but i think a better solution, twitter just putting on morning labors saint it's not been proven. the history of tweets, it's not just about president trump, it's about the 88 million people to follow him. they can make up their own minds about what the president saying. what also bothered me, the move among journalists, i am seeing this online and on the air who seemed very happy. the guy who they have covered negatively has been kicked off the platform heads into private life. very little attention on the street free speech issue here, of you that you might agree wi with. eric: they have a right to do that, it's a private company. at the same time, not supposed to yell fire in a theater so is

it proper or acceptable to incite violence or call for the assassination of public officials on social media? >> no. i'm not saying that is okay as well. they should crackdowns and bands with explicit violent threats, twitter is a private company and can do what it wants but twitter and facebook have become the public square and they have the legal immunity the president wanted to repeal which protects them lawsuits based on contents of what others put up. suspicion now because conservatives have been making complaints against mark zuckerberg's company and twitter for a long time. a couple say 70 they've lost 20000, 30,000 dollars in a matter of hours, maybe it is a purge are deserting plot forms, i don't know exactly but when you have all of this taking place on one side, the president campaign, allies of the president were all locked down

somebody on twitter. i didn't see any action against the biden campaign or democrats not making a false equivalence but i am saying twitter, which acknowledges its left-leaning, seems to have a bit of a political agenda. eric: advised social media center and apple sent a warning because they say there accusations that parlor, the app was used to plan, coordinate and facilitate illegal activities and ended with loss of life. plan and facilitate further illegal and dangerous activities and apple says they have found they are not effectively moderating removing content that encourages illegal activity and poses serious risk to the health and safety of its users. what should social media sites

do? when it comes to threats and dangerous threats, is it presented by free speech or should they be removed? >> parlor obviously has been a magnet for this but if they are allowing facebook users, you name it, they have to acknowledge it's a media company. when you talk about violent threats and hate speech, i think it is unacceptable. i don't see how saying are not going to go to the inauguration generate 20th, that's is unfit. you got to do this in 40 hours, obviously getting kicked off of iphones and ipads would be a crucial setback to a newer comforter like parler. they have to get their act together for there will be government regulation even without trump in office. eric: all right.

tomorrow on the show. >> indeed. prime topic. eric: absolutely. always good to see you. thanks. arthel: less than two weeks before president trump is to leave office, domestic terror attacks on the capital biden supporters democratic leaders draft new articles of impeachment against him. live at the white house with the latest. david. >> is a real possibility donald trump's, 45th president of the u.s. could be the first president in american history to be impeached twice. democrats in the house of representatives are a debate, it takes a majority of democrats in the house to vote this way. democrats are saying they want to introduce possibly an article as soon asthma there. we are talking about an article called incitement of insurrection. nancy pelosi made it clear she's giving the president an ultimatum saying show me of

forward with impeachment if the president doesn't resign or the vice president fails to invoke the 25th amendment to bring the cabinet on board to remove the president from office for those two scenarios likely are not going to happen. white house sources say there's no appetite for the vice president to move the 20 for the moment as president trump has about a week and a half left on the job. if the house just past impeachment articles, the senate would hold another trial but mitch mcconnell said the earliest he could happen in the senate would be january 19, the day before joe biden becomes president. if president trump is convicted in the senate on another vote, sanders can see he could not run again for public office. white house is pushing back on the impeachment talk a former white house top aide and communication strategy says while she's not pushing for impeachment, she opened the essence the president was wrong over the past week.

listen. >> the presidency is bigger than any one man, there's a lot of policies we will continue to fight for and growth the party but we also need to heal. in a time when the president have called off the mob, he didn't and that's just the breaking. >> spoke with the chairman of the joint chief of staff and general millie assured her there are controls in place regarding the coast. house speaker is worried about the president acting out of anger. she reached out to her colleagues and said the situation of the unhinged president could not be more dangerous and we must do everything we can to protect the american people from an alleged assault on our country and democracy. president trump was supposed to go to camp david over the weekend, second to last weekend in office is here the white house right now but as far as communicating, he saw reports

about twitter and no longer has his twitter account. he's been known as the twitter president. he's fired and hired people and even pardoned people on twitter but ultimately, is a president of the united states. he could speak directly to the american people if he so chooses. arthel: he absolutely can. thank you. eric: all attention on a second impeachment push next week. the results of the georgia runoff will result in a shift in senate power. democrats won both race control of the senate. that means president-elect biden can now plan his agenda. his party will soon be in charge of both chambers of congress. hillary vaughn is live at the transition headquarters of mr. biden. hillary. >> progressives are still doing the plotting of their own after democrats control both chambers in congress making, progressive

the first time they've cited with the pandemic which has critics up in arms over the governor's response. los angeles times reporting within a month going to the ill-advised dinner at the french laundry to recall more than 420,000 signatures prefetch 380,000 more than what was collected the past five months. while some democrats urge to take the recall effort. seriously, the governor is moving on with business. yesterday, he sent to $27 billion budget proposal to the state legislature for the upcoming fiscal year. more than $14 billion in covid relief initiative including funny for vaccines, to billing to safely reopen classrooms and $1.1 billion in aid to small businesses $600 direct payment to low income workers. all this while defending the state of a big businesses who have recently moved to other states.

inauguration for joe biden and kamala harris january 20. this week's deadly breach of the u.s. capital is raising a lot of questions about capital security but the president elect says he's not worried. >> totally different in terms of an operation and protecting the capital secret service. have great confidence in secret service and the ability to make sure inauguration is off safely and without hitch. arthel: the founder and executive director of the national security and director of the national security law and policy program that antonin

scalia was at, thanks for being here with us. two questions. what went wrong wednesday and with the secret service in charge, clearly inauguration the safer? >> i think what went wrong is pretty clear, capital police were not prepared for what began as a protest and turned into an armed attack on the capital. they were prepared for these protesters to come in to the capital to use lead pipes and weapons to break in and engage in combat at the capital. i think everyone was shocked. it is unfortunate. in respect to the inauguration, i think we can be confident. a national security specialist for the secret service is in charge as president-elect biden

said. they will coordinate with a huge range of federal, state and local law enforcement, we knew the national guard already from across east coast mobilized and will be present here and will likely seek other law enforcement coming in to support the inauguration january 20. arthel: meanwhile, authorities are applying social media chatter about planned violence

january 17 across the country. should federal intelligence agencies and military local police prepare for will prevent any more of these attacks? >> it's very common for law enforcement agencies to look out online. there are looking not just at public pleadings and the like they are full of the collection from around the globe to make sure. we've been looking out internationally. the things we worry about the capital being threatened last time was when al qaeda attacked in 2001. is this shocking and deeply troubling. at the same time, people have a right to free speech. that is middle ground. ensuring we have the intelligence we need to protect the capital against another insurrection which is what that was wednesday, that will be critical. arthel: do we have part in warding off for curtailing domestic terror for violent attacks that take place in the name of patriotism? if we do, how do we do it? >> absolutely. the think people have to look at, we have to look at ourselves and say in my helping this country? it's not about making america great again, for we actually helping the enemies? after yesterday, people celebrating in moscow and beijing, you can guarantee playoff. if that is the case, i'm not sure if we are facing america great if we are attacking the capital, that's not what this is about. look at themselves, their neighbors, friends, sisters and

brothers and husband is a this is not how we behave. we have a concern, we go to election and vote and come on the news and talk about it. don't attack the u.s. capital, that's unacceptable. arthel: i'm sorry, what did you say? >> we don't call for the oval office. ronald reagan, he would take his jacket off in the oval office. the idea that the president would call for this, it's not who we are as americans. arthel: we have to leave it there. thank you very much. thank you, we will see you next time. eric. eric: twitter's decision to permanently ban president trump, reaction. prompting the biggest voices here in the platform in solidarity. we will look at that. brogans have plans to cause joe biden's electoral win .

serving all over the globe as a deck decorated enforcement officer. good to see you. why did you change your mind and those few hours after this horrible offense of assault against our nation? >> i still have all of the same concerns about the constitutionality of the vote. many of the state, whether you have some counties allowing ballots to be cured and others don't. whether you have election officials entering into deals where you have to have signature verification in person but you don't for mail and, county clerk deciding no voter identification, all of those things have really shaken confidence in our democracy. i still have those concerns but i was on the house floor when the capital was breached, when a number of them were trying to barge into their kate them out of the house floor. it became clear we didn't have

the votes. we need to move toward simmering down and move toward peaceful transition which is the hallmark of america. as opposed to all the other countries around the world that i have served. of impeachment, 25th amendmen amendment, going after the president just a few days left in his term, it does nothing to simmer things down. that pours fuel on the fire of so many people's frustrations and add to, president biden -- excuse me, vice president biden, president-elect biden, theories about unity and serious about healing, he would focus on transition but it feeds into so many people's frustrations whether it pelosi or the squad that they have been after the president since day one.

they called him illegitimate, a traitor, they called him a russian agent and it's been nonstop trying to kick him out of office before he was even sworn in. we are going to end because we expect new impeachment articles to be introduced this coming week. they are going to end . eric: i want to ask you, you've been in combat but before i get to that, let me read you what schumer said. lies and continual lies on twitter for example for years talking about elections that was stolen, not backed up by any election officials are wrong and senator schumer said this. donald trump inside the riot, it wouldn't have happened without him, he edged people on and created lies about the election and encouraged the violence. the "wall street journal", what we saw on capitol hill was an

attempted coup by dangerous president and entirely too large fragment of president trump's following, incited violence by his words and example. he should be removed. to that, you say watch? >> schumer, pelosi and others have no credibility at this time. we saw lie after lie after lie whether it was the mueller investigation, official after official pounded the table, that they have seen firsthand. representative shifting one of the main ones, they've seen the evidence but we find out under oath, behind closed doors in the skiff, they said never seen anything and they are back out on television calling the president russian agent. i'm just trying to describe you what i am hearing from our constituents, what i am hearing

back in florida. that has no credibility in my position is, we need to take down the temperature. we do need to take a step back on where the country is going and try to impeach a president with ten, 12 days left in his term rather than, as he said himself, the president said himself let's focus on peaceful transition which is the hallmark of our republic. that's the direction we should be going, not trying to further inflame passions and for more fuel on the fire. eric: as we look at pictures now in the senate and house, they are coming into the hollowed sacred temple of our democracy. with her on the floor, what was it like? you've been in combat, did this bring memories back? can you help other members of

congress? >> i know the smell of tear gas, i was able to help with gas masks, others were barricading the doors and some even pulled on furniture. i condemn all violence. i condemn this, i don't think that's represent the tens of thousands of peaceful law-abiding, america loving trump supporters that have come to know. i don't think it represents them at all and they are incredibly frustrated to see that completed. i think there's a lot of frustration, we all need to condemn all violent. whether it portland, kenosha or

here, there's no excuse for it. increasing penalties for any violent there are no double standards. my heart goes out to any law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. it breaks my heart, david in st. louis, police chief trying to defend his business out there and was killed. my heart breaks for all of them and there's no place in america for that. eric: was the legislation that matches what you're doing? thoughts and prayers to police officers. >> governor desantis and florida legislators traduced anti- writing legislation. we need to increase the penalty, i don't care what someone says the cost is, there's no place for violence, political violence at all. that's what we will look to introduce nationally to match what florida is doing statewide. also, where we go from here for election, georgia, state legislatures, pennsylvania and others need to fix their stay at the state level along the lines of what florida has done. it elections not so great a

while ago and now we are in a better place. we can't just ignore this, we have to put these things in place. eric: all right, that's part of the debate and we will talk about that legislation will be come back because we don't want to go through what we also wednesday. thank you for your service. thank you for joining us today. we have the officers in our hearts. we'll be right back.

whether wednesday's attack will change the agenda. "wall street journal", fox news jupiter, will covid relief, medical and economic still remain priority for the new

administration? >> i think that is going to be priority coming in. he got to do something to correct the trajectory on this. it's been mismanaged up until now, record number of cases and deaths, very slow rollout of the vaccine, much slower and has been broadcast. the biden administration will have to be focused very intently on addressing the coronavirus because everything else follows from that. the economic recovery we hope to see in 2021 will have it only if he get the virus tamed but out there things are going to fall in place after that. he has a big agenda and now he controls the senate and house. but by very slim margins. the rest of his agenda, his cabinet, secretaries approve getting judges into positions, addressing expansion of the

affordable care act, issues on immigration, all of those will be actively pursued to take advantage of this agenda or advantage he now has in the house and senate but he's also going to be very careful because it is a slim one and he'll have to walk a moderate line to keep behind him but also went over some of the rollicking boats he hopes to win over. arthel: president-elect has already said he doesn't seem to have any appetite for one way or the other of the second impeachment attempt on president trump but congress, the new congress perhaps might pursue a second impeachment. is there a way to separate the biden administration from that? will that somehow cast a shadow on the administration as he tries to renew and rejoin

congress? >> that's a tricky proposition, he doesn't want and impeachment trial to overshadow. remind you, the actions by the congress can carry over after inauguration. he doesn't want that getting in the way of his agenda. he understands congress has to take position on this. contrary to what congressman was just saying, needs to be put aside and community needs to be pursued and you want situations now with the president is being impeached again, nothing unifies a population -like adherence to the fundamental principles of the political structure which is rule of law and that's what congress is saying, his incendiary language is convening of this rally, the language he used turning loose on the

capital and the riot that resulted, he has to take some accountable, there has to be some accountability with him -- it's going to pursue this regardless. whether it's impeachment or another action. arthel: 20 seconds, will the new congress pursue new law as it relates to presidential powers? >> great question. certainly the last four years have raised that as an issue but it will be hard to do because do you really want to circumscribe president biden's ability to get things done if you are a democrat in the congress? it's been raised with every administration, it is very hard to get through particularly with very narrow margins the democrats have both the house and set it. arthel: associate editor of wall street journal, thank you for joining us. we look forward to talking with

president at least until he leaves office. meanwhile, conservatives are blasting what they say is the latest example of bias by big tech, but others say it's about time that the president's account was shut down. charles watson is live of in atlanta with the very latest on this controversy. charles? >> reporter: hi, eric. conservatives and the acl raising concerns over social media companies' decisions to suspend president trump from their the platforms. the aclu's legislative counsel writing: this should concern everyone when with companies like facebook and twitter wield the unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for millions of people. instagram, facebook, snapchat, twitter and a numbing of other sites have suspended the president's accounts on their platforms after a violent mob incited by the president stormed the u.s. capitol.

on friday twitter said a review of recent tweets led it to permanently suspend the president's personal account, but many have questioned how the company enforces its rules after accounts ran by the chinese government and iran's supreme leader remain operational despite posting tweets that some consider hateful or full of disinformation. representative madison cawthorn says it sets a dangerous precedent. >> when you rip the tongue out of somebody who is speaking against you, you don't prove them to be a liar. rather, you just prove that you're paralyzed with fear on the altar of oppression. >> reporter: meanwhile, supporters of the move are questioning what took social media giants so long to act. democratic senator richard blumenthal tweeting: no private company is obligated to provide a megaphone for malicious campaigns to incite violence. it took blood and glass in the halls of congress and a change in the political winds for most powerful tech companies to

recognize at the last possible moment the threat of trump. and while twitter has permanently deleted the president's account, facebook and instagram are leaving the door open for president trump to return after his term in office ends. eric? eric: all right, charles in atlanta, thanks so much. arthel? arthel: thank you. for more on all of this, let's bring in joe concha, media opinion columnist for "the hill," also a fox news contributor. so, joe, did twitter, google, apple, did they make the right call? >> i don't believe they did, arthel. i understand everything that happened on wednesday that we witnessed on our screens, the president's holding a rally, then his supporters -- not all of them, certainly -- sieging the capitol, and you had a police officer who died, you had a military female veteran who died, five total dying in that siege which was one of the darkest days in this country's history. i want to make that very clear. however, for twitter now to

suspend the president of the united states yet keep up the twitter accounts, say, of the leader of iran who has called for israel to be wiped off the map or chinese government officials who say that covid was invented by the u.s. army and then weaponized to hurt the world or louis farrakhan's account is still up or richard spencer, the white supremacist. in other words, there doesn't appear to be any consistency here, arthel, and i wonder about the timing of the ban as well. it comes on the same week that democrats took the senate -- arthel: well, let me jump in there, joe. a couple things. even the aclu has said, listen are, you can't cherry pick what you're going to cancel is. but as you know, this was a direct response to what happened wednesday. it shocked all of us. it brought many of us to tears to see these thugs desecrate our capitol building. and so this is why, you know, i'm not speaking for twitter, but this is -- we're just

looking at the timeline of what happened. so to keep it, you know, kind of focused on that, i want to ask you though do you think president trump recklessly used his social media megaphone? >> i think many people recklessly use their -- arthel: okay. but listen, joe, we're not talking about many people, we're talking about the president of the united states. he has a lot of power. and to your point, not all of his supporters to that capitol. you saw how many did, and they went there with blood in their eyes. okay? and when you have the president saying show up at the capitol building january 6th, it's going to be wild, saying that the election was stolen, it was not, and he kept saying it. he said it before any votes were cast. he said if i lose, it's rigged. this is what happens. these guys got juiced up, showed up and people died. >> like we saw over the summer as well with many protests

around the country, arthel, for three months in atlanta, in new york and chicago, portland, seattle, minneapolis. and there were groups that organized on social media, and we saw billions in property damage, we saw dozens of deaths, we saw police officers killed then as well, and those groups kept their twitter accounts. all i'm saying is there needs to be some consistency. and, by the way, the timeline that you mentioned is slightly off so while the president was suspended after what happened at the capitol on wednesday, he was then reinstated. and then he tweeted that he wasn't going to the inauguration, something that joe biden eye greed with him with, and -- agreed with him, and that seemed to be the final blow in terms of his account being banned for perpetuity. so i don't understand the final account on that. and, again, you have to wonder why twitter didn't step in sooner -- arthel: that's a fair point. >> -- taking back power in washington, right? and now remember, all those donations to the biden administration and all those people from silicon valley that are going to work for the biden

administration, you have to wonder about the timing -- arthel: so what are you suggesting? >> i'm suggesting that, boy, why wouldn't they do this before? probably, and this is just a guess, but i'm trying to use longic here, when you have a republican-controlled senate and a trump doj, these social media companies didn't feel as emboldened as they are now. and i think it's just a matter of the fact that with democrats there, they now feel emboldened to act with the president when, to your argument, that they should have done this before. arthel: well, listen, i get your point about timing. an election happened and then the democrats gained control, they did. but, you know, also the timing of january 6th, of that unfortunate and horrible domestic terror attack on our nation's capitol. but let's move on because i do want to know where does the president go now? where does he go now to maintain that instantaneous communication that he had with his 88 million twitter followers? >> right. and remember what 38 million

is -- 88 million is, arthel. that's the combined populations of france and australia with -- arthel: okay. well, i'm sorry, so he has -- am i right on the number or did i get it right? >> oh, no, you got it right. he has 88.6 million -- [laughter] to be exact. but i'm saying, think about that, you know, when you put it in context, the whole population of france and australia, you put those two together, and that's how many people follow president trump. here's the thing, you can go to a parler, for instance, which is like twitter for conservatives, but now they have big problems because apple says they're not going to allow them to be on their app store, which is everything, right? the way you get something on your phone is through the app store, until they clean up and moderate their site better. so that's not looking good. you also have conservatives fleeing twitter. while this isn't a first amendment issue because they're privately-held companies, at the same time, there is a business aspect, and twitter has now lost rush limbaugh, mark levin, dan

bongino, and they have millions of followers. you're going to see the split between twitter being for the left and parler or some other company to the right, and you're going to have these two echo chambers of people talking to each other instead of -- arthel: joe, we already have that. so how can we -- you, me, all of us responsible for putting out information -- how can we change that? you know, do we have a responsibility too for that? to make sure that people hear information from both sides of this political agenda? >> absolutely. and i wish that were the case, but it seems that more and more people are just going into their safe spaces, arthel, and hearing what they want to hear instead of, perhaps, what they should hear. i think all media should make an effort, don't be afraid to criticize the so-called other side because you're afraid your audience is going to start yelling at you on social media. facts are facts and, again, opinion is a big part of this

business as well, but make sure those opinions are responsible. in the end, again, i just see this as ending badly for the president. or maybe it's the best thing that ever happened to him because his critics and even his supporters, arthel, would say twitter was what got him in trouble more than anything in the world because it's instantaneous. he had nearly 60,000 tweets on his account. by the way, all that's participant of the presidential record. all those tweets since the account is gone, they're gone. so unless somebody saved every single one of them, we're never going to be able to go back and look at every tweet -- arthel: that's kind of what you get for tweeting presidential records. i'm just saying. [laughter] i'm just saying, joe. listen, i'm way over time, they're going to kill me, but thank you. appreciate the conversation. joe concha, talk to you again soon. >> thank you. arthel: take care. eric? [laughter] eric: arthel, meantime, with less than two weeks before the president is set to leave office, democratic leaders have drafted new articles of impeachment against him, of

course, following the deadly riots at the capitol. democrats in the house plan to introduce that legislation this coming monday calling for the president's removal. the first president in our nation's history to potentially face two impeachments. david spunt live at the white house with more on this and reaction there. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric. our sources on capitol hill say it's one article, incitement of insurrection. it could be introduced as early as monday or tuesday. democrats clearly chomping at the bit. house speaker nancy pelosi has given an ultimatum. she says if the president, a, doesn't resign or, b, vice president pence doesn't invoke the 25th amendment, then they're going to go ahead with impeachment. the senate would hold a trial if the house does pass this measure. it really just takes, eric, a majority of the house to impeach the president. but the senate trial may not begin til after joe biden becomes president. if president trump is convicted in the senate on a separate

vote, he may not be able to run for public office again. the current white house is pushing back on impeachment talks, but a former white house top aide -- while she isn't pushing for president trump's impeachment -- openly admits her former boss was over the past week. >> the presidency is bigger than any one man. i think there's a lot in america first policies that we are going to continue to fervently fight for, but we also need to heal. and at a time when the president could have called off the mob, he did not decide to do so, and to me, that's just a breaking point. >> reporter: white house deputy press secretary judd deere pushing back on any impeachment talk from democrats, even some republicans. quote: as president trump said yesterday, this is a time for healing and unity as one nation, a politically-motivated impeachment against a president who has done a great job with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide his

great country. 11 days today. the sentiment echoed by lindsey graham who broke with the president this week over his handling of the capitol riots. graham is hoping president biden gets involved to keep this current president from making history as the only president, eric, to be impeached twice. >> i'm asking no more of you, president-elect biden, than i ask of myself. pick up the phone and tell pelosi, schumer and the squad to stand down. no more impeachments. >> reporter: president-elect biden says it's not his call, it's up to the congress to make that decision. house speaker nancy pelosi also let her democratic and republican colleagues now, she said she spoke to general mark milley who assured her there are controls in place dealing with the nuclear launch codes. pelosi and other democrats worried about the president having access to those codes especially considering the latest circumstances. eric? eric: yeah. promises to be quite another

historic week. >> reporter: very much so. eric: david spunt at the white house, thank you. arthel: well, eric and david, strong words from president-elect biden about president trump following the capitol hill riot, calling him one of the most incompetent prime ministers in the history of the u.s -- presidents in the history of the u.s. meantime, mr. biden is facing more pressure from progressives over his agenda after the democrats captured control of the senate in the georgia runoff. hillary vaughn is live in wilmington, delaware, with more. hillary? >> reporter: hi, arthel. now that president-elect biden has complete control of congress can, he does not want to lose it which is why senator bernie sanders lost out on the opportunity to have a new job as labor secretary. >> i did give serious consideration on nominating my friend bernie sanders for this position. but after tuesday's results in georgia giving democratic control to the united states senate in a tie vote, bear and i agreed -- matter of fact, bernie said we can't put control of the

senate at risk on the outcome of a special election in vermont. and he agreed we couldn't take that chance. >> reporter: so just because widen passed -- biden passed over bernie sanders does not mean that progressives are going to be sidelined in the biden administration. members of the so-called squad, a group of progressive house lawmakers,, are sounding off already on what they want to see in biden's agenda. congresswoman jayapal tweeting a wish list saying, quote: victory in georgia must lead to transformative change across america. it can't wait. and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeting this: who's ready to push? push for student loan cancellation, ending the death penalty? and congresswoman ayanna pressley calling for abolishing i.c.e. saying they organized to deliver the house, senate and white house, it's time we deliver for them. the progressive group justice democrats hired their own political director to lobby

lawmakers in congress to make sure legislation is leaning to the progressive left. their spokesperson telling the huffington post this: unified control of the government is extremely rare in american politics, and the next nine months could be the last time they have unified control for another ten years. delivering results is much more important than bipartisan branding or anything like that. and one of the first things yesterday that president-elect biden says he's going to do is take executive action on climate. arthel? arthel: all right. hillary vaughn, thank you very much. eric? eric: arthel, new york state moving toward its next phase of coronavirus vaccinations, this after the mayor of new york city publicly pledged with the governor to begin vaccinating extremely vulnerable groups of people. more on that and the vaccines coming up. plus, the fbi offering huge rewards for help in identifying members of that out of control, deadly mob that attacked the capitol. how investigators are combing through the evidence and what's posted on social media to find

arthel: new york state will start scheduling vaccinations for the next group of people under a distribution plan. it starts on monday and will allow for a larger pool of recipients including seniors. this comes a amid major criticism about the slow rollout under governor andrew cuomo's guidelines. alex hogan is live in new york city with more details. alex, what can you tell us to explain this? >> reporter: hi, arthel. well, yesterday new york saw a record-breaking number of people getting tested for covid-19, but at the same time the state is seeing a lot of pressure to ramp up vaccinations. and starting on monday, there will be more people who qualified. so starting on monday, people who are over the age of 75, teachers, police, firefighters, public safety and transit workers can get the vaccine. governor andrew cuomo is expanding the pool of professionals who can give the shots to them. cuomo saying at this rate it would take 14 weeks to vaccinate

the state's 1a and b groups. >> 1a and 1b are open. hospitals will continue to prioritize health care workers. it's most important to get the health care workers vaccinated especially with this u.k. strain out there. u.k. strain is incredibly virile and dangerous. so the hospitals will continue to prioritize health care staff. >> reporter: across the country less than 7 million people have received the first shot. it's a far cry from the expected 20 million by the end of 2020. on friday eight governors issuing a letter to the u.s. department of health and human services asking for expedited vaccine distribution as americans around the country wait for their turn. >> they have the vaccine ready, and they have everything put in

place. i just don't understand why, you know, we haven't gotten it yet. >> everything is still up in the air. we're in the state of confusion and frustration and desperation. >> reporter: the biden administration announcing a new plan to speed up the process. president-elect joe biden's strategy will release all of the vaccines. that's in contrast to president trump's plan of saving shots to make sure there's enough for second doses. biden's plan will require a supply from pfizer and moderna to make sure all of these statements have enough dose -- states have enough doses for the second shot. arthel? arthel: okay. alex hogan, thank you very much. eric? eric: well, the fbi asking the prick to help -- the public to help identify suspects who took part in the violent and dead wily assault on our beloved capitol and those engaged in other criminal acts there on wednesday. you know, federal agents are offering a reward of $50,000 for information leading to the location, arrest and conviction.

also whoever put pipe bombs outside of the republican national committee and the democratic national committee headquarters offices nearby. justice department says that so far 13 people have been charged in federal court. about 40 have so far been charged in local d.c. court. so how would the bureau hunt the perpetrators down? bill gavin joins us now, former assistant fbi director in new york and a former chief executive with the fbi in new york, miami and denver. bill, first of all, have you ever seen a crime or crimes so blatant and on video, on social media and still pictures, people tweeting it out, even being proud in selfies that could be used as potential evidence against them? >> eric, this is the very first time for me, i guess for the entire country. it's terrible, what was done. but it's so blatant. tease people seemed not to care -- these people seemed not to care or maybe entitled to something like this in response to some stimulus they got to go

ahead and do it. eric: they face a variety of charges, the ones that have so far been lodged include theft of public property, public money, violent entry, disorderly conduct. you know, those seem like almost -- disorderly conduct, you get a desk appearance ticket some places and go out the door. do you expect those charges to be ramped up? >> i believe they will. i know that all 60 offices of the fbi in the united states now have an open case on this whole event. i think that they're probably, some of those individuals what they have got to be very careful of here, erin, the balance of first amendment rights for people to gather together versus those who actually went into the building. what the bureau will do is identify each and every one of these people. i know that the $50,000 reward for the individual who they saw

responsible for or who they will find responsible for putting down the bombs that the republicans and democratic locations, they will get assistance from all the field offices, and the bureau will definitely cooperate with all state, local and federal agencies involved in this whole matter. it's a huge case for the bureau, and i don't think anybody had ever seen anything quite like this. some of the apartments, some of the criminals walking out of the citadel of democracy, our republic's cathedral and just letting them walk out free because they were willing to -- it's just a horrible, horrible set of circumstances. eric: yeah. the whole thing is horrifying, it's offensive, it's despicable. let's take a look at one video. these are the guys climbing up the side of the building. it just so happens that the

president this summer, you know, passed -- there they are, the president this summer was very proud of the monuments law that gives people who would desecrate and damage monuments ten years. this is what the president tweeted out in july: an artists or protesters who vandalize or damage a federal courthouse in any of our cities or states will be prosecuted under our recently-reenacted statutes and monuments act. minimum, ten years in prison. the president proudly, basically, enacted that because of portland. could these people, many of whom support the president, face the same thing? >> absolutely, they should. they can and they should, and i believe they will face that same kind of prosecution. i don't believe that this particular act was anticipated by anybody. it's very, very unfortunate that they didn't have adequate personnel to handle that situation. they had enough time to do it,

and i'm sure that the resignations that we all read about in the past couple of days of people that are responsible to protect the capitol are disgraceful for them and their careers, but i think there should have been additional people onboard, available to stop this kind of activity. it's been said they didn't know there would be such a, such a invasion of the building itself, that it was going to be just a peaceful protest. that's nonsense. more information was known prior to or this than a lot of other gatherings, and people need to be held responsible, and we need to do something to make sure that this never, ever happens again to the capitol. eric: absolutely. and anywhere. i mean, it was all over social media, it was telegraphed, it was known. some of the questions that will be part of the investigation. bill gavin, former fbi official. always good to see you.

>> thanks. eric: of course. the fbi asking anyone with any information, you know somebody, you probably know someone who may have gone, and if you did, you think they were, you know, you think that they were involved? well, there's the number. call the fbi hotline. the number is 1-800-call-fbi or 1-800-225-5324. the rule of law must be upheld in the united states of america. arthel? arthel: well, eric, how president trump is responding to his permanent twitter ban, we'll talk about that and what it could signal about the future of online speech. ♪ ♪ in. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa

end yesterday after twitter decided to permanently block the president from posting. several other big companies also limiting or banning the president as allies of mr. trump say it's all about silencing key forces. but others accuse him of using social media to spread lies and misinformation especially about the election that led to the attack on capitol hill. mark meredith has more from washington. >> reporter: twitter's decision to suspend president trump's account creating all sorts of controversy, and while there are some people that are applauding this move if, others say the decision unfairly targets certain political speech. now, if you try to go and see the president's account, you get a message that reads account suspended. twitter says the block comes over tweets by the commander in chief may, quote, create further incitement of violence. for the last few months, we've seen warning labels claiming they contain misinformation, but friday's action takes this is to a whole new level. twitter is following action

already taken by facebook, instagram, snapchat that have limited posts. other internet services including shopify which provides merchant services, they are also cutting ties. some democratic lawmakers are thanking twitter, others are blasting the company claiming there is a double standard targeting conservatives. south carolina senator lindsey graham is accusing twitter and others of pure political censorship. graham is calling on congress to repeal protections for social media companies. he tweeted, quote: i'm more determined than ever to strip section 230 protections from big tech. that lets them be with immune from lawsuits. over night twitter was criticized for allowing the hashtag paying mike pence to trend. it has since been blocked, and a spokesperson telling folk, quote: we want trends to promote healthy discussion on twitter. the president is still vowing to reach out to his supporters online, he's even talking about creating a new social media platform of his own although at

this point what that will look like or when it will launch. eric? eric: all right, mark, thanks so much. arthel? arthel: thank you. for more than 50 people arrested so far following wednesday's deadly attack on the u.s. capitol, among them 13 were charged in federal court and another 40 in superior court. the fbi is now turning to the public for help in tracking down more suspects. we're going to bring in our legal panel right now. mercedes colwin is here, fox news legal analyst, and carl racine, washington, d.c. attorney general. very good to have both of you. mercedes, i'm going to start with you. what legal charges could they face? >> well, arthel, this is an ongoing, live investigation. lead prosecutors specifically stated anyone who has any involvement in the unlawful and illegal entry into the u.s. capitol which was violence is going to face charges.

so as of yesterday evening, there have been 82 arrests. and i want to read to you some of the most significant charges against these individuals. they include making interstate the threats to speaker nancy pelosi, violently entering capitol grounds, theft of public money, property of record, possession of an unregistered firearm, 31 molotov cocktails -- 11 molotov cocktails were also seized and probably the most serious of all the charges, an assault on a federal officer which we now know has deceased. so if that individual's charged with an assault can be also charged with the murder if that was the individual who allegedly caused the injuries to the officer. and it is ongoing. there are many charges that can still be made, arthel. there are charges of rioting, insurrection, terrorism. there's so much that's left to be done and, frankly, there's such a huge digital footprint as to what took place on wednesday,

there's a lot of information, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. arthel: yeah. the name of that capitol officer, brian sicknick. and attorney genere seen, as you well know -- general racine, president trump issued an executive order last summer in june announcing a 10-year prison sentence for vandalizing federal property. that and you have various police and federal agencies deeming the violence that happened on wednesday as domestic terror. so does this change the event -- the extent of charges, arrest powers, does it change the investigation, you know, loosen restrictions on the investigation? >> sure. well, first, i do think that mercedes really laid out a good set of potential charges there. what i would like to do, first, is say my condolences and send prayers to the families of the five individuals who were killed as a result of what your cabling

news actually saying totally correctly. this was a mob that was exercising great violation. they brought guns -- violence. they brought guns, pistols, pipe bombs, handcuff devices, a platform and a noose for hanging at the united states capitol. and so when we talk about the offenses, i would add to the ledger a few more. how about murder. how about felony murder. a principle of law that we know applies whenever a murder occurs and a group is with and acting in concert with the person who killed someone. in the district of columbia in my office, we have jurisdiction for a charge called inciting violence. i think now is the time for all of us to help law enforcement and give law enforcement some time. let's be quick but don't hurry. let's be thorough and let's see

what these charges will be. i can tell you that the office of attorney general is going to be thorough. arthel: and you mentioned, attorney general racine, you know, fines for having incited the terror attacks. who does that include? there have been some reports that some of the, you know, maybe the federal agencies may be even looking into if president trump is either inadvertently or actively, you know, responsible. >> sure. i think as a prosecutor the best way for us to relate to the public is to assure the public that we're going to go where the facts lead. if any individual incited violence, then we'll go there. there were some concerning statements made, of course. the idea of combat justice, the constant calling for fighting

and other calls for aggressive efforts at the capitol. the flag was defiled and people died. that's enough for a serious criminal investigation. arthel: mercedes, i'm sorry, i've got about 30 seconds, i'd like your thoughts. go ahead. >> well, or arthel, like we said before, this is an ongoing investigation. there's been 17,000 tips to the doj as of today. there are many more individuals that are going to be identified, many more charges, many more arrests. we're going to see a huge change in what we're dealing with in temples of the landscape of this current investigation. time will tell, but certainly it's being taken extraordinarily seriously not just by the prosecutors tar leading the way, but by everyone involved who's trying to assist in bringing these individuals, bringing them to justice. arthel: and the -- >> i would like to add -- arthel: yeah, of course, go ahead. >> i would like to add that the american tradition of democracy

understands that campaigns are hard-fought, that one side is naturally going to lose and not feel great about it. i am a democratic attorney general. i have seen my party from time to time lose races. and i've been upset of. the proper response consistent with our traditions of democracy, rule of law and respect for authority is not to attack the united states capitol and cause death. arthel: attorney general carl racine, we will leave it there, mercedes colwin, thank you both for joining us. and we'll be right back. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

eric: president-elect joe biden's cabinet being built for his move-in. he's formally introduced his nominee for attorney general, merrick daughterland.

garland. how is biden's cabinet shaping up? susan ferrechio joins us now from the washington examiner. susan, what do you see with the biden picks? >> well, he talked about it already as an effort to create a very diverse cabinet. and he's done so, but he's also included sort of a politically-diverse cabinet too. you have people on the more liberal end of the spectrum, but you also have mod rates as well in key positions. and that's, again, keeping to what he pledged he would do when putting his cabinet together. i think think merrick garland is an interesting choice, certainly among the more moderate choice, and as you may remember, he was nominated by president obama to serve on the supreme court where republicans decided not to take up his nomination, so he was bypassed for the high court. this is an effort to really put him somewhere important now even though he didn't get that position on the supreme court. i think it's also kind of

interesting because it takes him out of the way if there is a supreme court opening. i've often wondered that would he be nominated when democrats get a shot at filling a high court seat. there is probably some division in the party over whether he's too moderate, there might be some dispute over that, so now here he is poised to become attorney general. this will definitely kind of take him out of the way and have him in a position of prominence and maybe make way for democrats to pick somebody that's more pleasing to their progressive base which is going to be really important if a position opens up. eric: yeah. that's for the supreme court. meanwhile for labor, mayor marty walsh from boston, potentially for commerce. the governor of rhode island, i mean, republicans told us these picks in this administration would be socialist, communist, marxist. have we seen any of those yet? >> no, not really. you know, some may have a hard time getting through congress. traditionally there always is a

little bit of a fight when a president's trying to get their picks through. it's not going to be as big of a struggle because that filibuster rule has long been eliminated for cabinet picks. so now that democrats are going to have the majority of votes once the georgia seats are certified and once incoming vice president kamala harris has the swing vote, they really control the gavel at that point. so they can move along very quickly. right now they don't have any nominees on deck at this point. they're really behind, historically behind for some reason. republicans are not willing to get moving on their nominees. and that's partly because they were a different party than the incoming president. is so they're going to have a chance to move quickly when they control the gavel getting these committees fired up and moving these nominees along. and you will hear objections. republicans will find reasons to object to all of these based on their policy decisions in the past. i think it's one of the reasons

why the white house climate czar position was created for gina mccarthy. i think she would have had a tougher time getting through if she need to be confirmed because she'd have a lot of people objecting from the republican side. they'll be able to clear all these nominees in pretty short order. eric: then it may not be as contentious as it would have been had the republicans been in charge. we'll see how it goes. susan ferrechio, always good to see you. thank you for your insight. and we will have, of course, more news here on the fox news channel when we continue. cold coming on? zicam® is clinically proven to shorten colds! highly recommend it! zifans love zicam's unique zinc formula. it shortens colds! zicam zinc that cold! it shortens colds! at visionworks, and we want you to see yourself in your new glasses and think, "ooh!" but if you get home and your "ooh" is more of a "hmm..."
