3:00 am
♪ jedediah: good morning, everyone. thank you so much for joining us on this sunday edition of "fox & friends weekend." busy, busy news cycle, guys. i was looking for the date, i realized it was january 10th already and the news cycle is absorbing all of us. great to see you guys, will cain, pete hegseth. we'll break it down together. will: good morning, jedediah, we're in fifth gear, we're
3:01 am
notdown shifting at any point in the year 2021. we hit it march of 2020. it has been accelerating ever since. pete, grab the steering wheel. see if we can guide this thing in a true direction. pete: that is not possible. when my wife got me a motor cycle it had a sixth gear. that is precisely where we are. welcome to "fox & friends." great to have you. we showed that shot of the white house to open the show. the president in the white house today without a single most powerful tool he used over the last decade, certainly during his presidency, twitter, in order to communicate straight to the american people. not only his account, campaign account, potus account, anyone tweeting on his behalf, others who support him either followers diminish quickly or deleted all together as the president has been. a lot of people looking for the opportunity to speak freely are looking for an alternative. one which emerged is pardon me
3:02 am
letter. parler has seen massive downloads on the app store and apple as well as at google. people looking for a place they can speak freely. we reported yesterday amazon, excuse me that google was already dropping parler. we knew that apple might be dropping parler. we hadn't heard about amazon. apple dropped participate letter. you can't download parler on a iphone. you can't do it. amazon said at the end of the night tonight they we remove the servers that parler relies upon in order to run the app that people use. you've got google, apple and amazon all effectively trying to cancel parler as people try to go there to speak freely. here is a portion what apple said now that they banned the app from their store. we always supported diverse points of view represented on the app store.
3:03 am
there is no place on the app store for violence and illegal activity. we've suspended parler from the app store until they resolve these issues. ironic they're talking about threats of violence when things like that you look what is trending on twitter last 24 hours, it has been hang mike pence trending on twitter. there are apps with violence that don't seem to be addressed the same way parler is. jedediah: that is the question. we have a pattern where bad actors are flocking to the spaces, that is true of all the places, we know what happen ad the capitol was organized in plain view online, there is question about why there was more security. this is different topic all together. if this is happening unilaterally facebook, twitter, parler, whatever it may be, why the rules not being applied.
3:04 am
something is going on here. you guys are not able to monitor this properly. something's wrong so we're going to pull our affiliation out of concern. i think what is important to note at this point there is no space anywhere where you can just say whatever you want to say. that doesn't exist. even on parler there are rules to be followed. in fact they had pulled down a post by lynwood that was horrific, i think the post was get the firing squads ready, pence goes first. they took that down. they admitted that. that violates their own rules. the question becomes can these sites adequately moderate so many posts? these are private companies, google, amazon, whoever they are, they will be able to come in and say we don't feel you're moderating these appropriately. we know these are spaces where people are organizing to commit acts of violence. we don't want that association. it will be up to people to sit that and say this is happening
3:05 am
across the board fairly? is there some sort of bias put into it? is there a point what has gone on to the spaces where they have become a cesspool for damage. will: while these are private companies, this should terrify any free speech loving, free-minded american out there. at the very least we should look at facebook, google, amazon, apple, spotify, pinterest and on and on. all moving together with coordinated warp speed reaction to what is going on in our country this is coordinated. this is the biggest tech companies in our world doing something together at the same time. we should be paying attention to that. how did they coordinate this? why are they all of like mind and now like action when it comes to free speech in this country? the ceo of parler said the following when it comes to this, make no mistake war on free speech. amazon, google, apple purposely did this as coordinated effort
3:06 am
knowing our options are limited this would inflict the most damage as president trump was banned from tech companies that was coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the marketplace. we were too successful too fast. you expect the war on free speech to continue but don't count us out. i want to point out one thing, pete, parler, from the outside is branded as a conservative platform, it is a, not a conservative platform, it's a free speech platform, anyone can go say what they want, have any opinion what they want on that platform. any one of them as jedediah pointed out has some measures against violent threats. what we're talking about is how much conservative you can espouse but how much free speech you can embrace. pete: free speech has become a conservative principle. it used to be a universal principle. that is why this is scary. amazon, not as if we're talking about content providers, the out
3:07 am
front forums that are banning people. now it is the pipes, the roads on which people drive on. the servers that people use. that is back end stuff. if they get at that, they can shut down websites and everything else. i do want to congratulate twitter one thing, ayatollah of iran, the supreme leader of largest state sponsor of terrorism, he can tweet, president trump can't. twitter took action of ayatollah of iran. they deleted one tweet he posted about covid-19. that's where we're at. covid-19 of the ayatollah. nothing about death to israel. covid, we got you. will: everybody has their limits. pete: could have individual is the breaking point clearly for the islamic republic of iran. amy the policy officer of parler at 7:20.
3:08 am
we're going to ask questions what is being done to their company. jedediah: that is exactly right. to another big story we're following, with days left in president trump's term, democrats have articles of impeachment tomorrow. mark meredith is live in washington as speaker pelosi says democrats get ready. reporter: articles of impeachment expected to be introduced in the house tomorrow. house speaker pelosi had urged vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office. with that looking less likely, i am kratz move forward with the impeachment option. in a letter the speaker rights we'll be proceeding with members and constitutional experts and others. i continue to welcome your comments. i urge you to be prepared to return to washington this week. president-elect joe biden tweeted on saturday, quote, our president is not above the law. justice serves the people. it doesn't protect the powerful. even if the house impeaches inclear how fast the senate
3:09 am
would take up this charge. president trump only has 10 days left in office. this as one gop senator says he thinks the president went way too far in attempting to overturn the election results. >> i do think the president committed impeachable offenses. the president's behavior this week custodies qualify him from serving. reporter: some republicans are asking the speaker to hold off impeachment plans, seven members urging pelosi to focus on unity as the president wraps up his first term. pete, jed, will, back to you guys. will: thanks so much, mark. to dive a little bit deeper into this story let's talk to jason chaffetz. he is a fox news contributor and he is a former chairman of the house oversight and reform committee. good morning to you, jason. >> good morning. will: jason, let's talk about the appropriateness of impeachment trial, pursuit of impeachment of president trump in just a moment. you've been there, i want to ask you a little bit about the process. you heard mark say it would be difficult to get anything
3:10 am
started before theeyth of january. you heard from senator pat toomey, a republican, he would support an impeachment trial. how much support do you believe or do you know would be on the republican side of the aisle? how much would be needed for this to move forward? >> i think most republicans were appalled by the president's actions on january 6th. i think it was one of the most shameful days. i think it was the worst day of the trump presidency. now that the people have spoken. the legislation has been certified. congress gathers on monday with nine days to go before we actually swear in a new president, i think we should focus on the transition. the president has offered as much. i think that is the right course of action. again, i think you can condemn the actions. i think you can express the frustration, the lack of civility, the way that people attacked the capitol, capitol hill police officers was
3:11 am
fundamentally wrong just as we did over the spring and summer where we were condemning the actions and calling for prosecutions of people attacking federal buildings, i wish the democrats would join republicans in condemning that action as well as what happened on the capitol on january 6th but at this point from my personal belief i think we need to focus on the next nine, 10 days on the transition and making sure that joe biden goes to the inauguration and is able to govern immediately. that is what the country needs. pete: jason, you know democrats won't join in. when the shoe was on the other foot they were starting bailout funds for rioters. they don't play by the same standards. it doesn't work that way. forgive viewers who get whiplash from joe biden who in one sentence says unity. we need unity i will unify america, then on the other side is not asking nancy pelosi not to pursue impeachment. after all that has been done to president trump, say what you want about january 6th, you
3:12 am
talked about it, all the way, mueller, gamut of impeachment, boycotting, resistance, suppression, if they move forward with impeachment, because it make the idea of unity more possible or are we looking at driving the divide deeper and further causing trump supporters to say, what do i do? >> well, it makes unity elusive. you're not, i don't think you can get there. i think we're going to spend, nine, 10 days, arguing with each other, instead of focusing how do we get more of the distribution of covid-19 vaccine actually get into peoples arms, things like that. congress was not scheduled to be back in session. they will, nancy pelosi wants to bring them back in. i think this is on joe biden. joe biden is the leader of the democratic party at this point. if he wants to truly unite people. if he wants to take a deep breath, collectively as a country and try to move then
3:13 am
then it is up to him. jedediah: you know, jason, my only concern what we're seeing here different than calls for impeachment last time, to me this time the actions by the president are an impeachable offense. i don't see how you really see it another way. pete: i see it another way. a lot of people see it another way. go ahead. jedediah: so i see it as an impeachable offense, basically citing rioters to attempt to overturn what is a constitutional process. given that reality of how many people feel, what do you do if there is no consequence to that action? because the reality is that president trump could run again. he is free to run again. i think he would have a lot of support if he did run again but you don't want this behavior to occur again. does it send the wrong message if you make your decision on impeachment based on how trump supporters may react or people inclined to riot may react? >> i think jedediah what really
3:14 am
prevails in this case the people have spoken. they have made a change. there is going to be a transition. and literally less than, less than 10 days that will happen. so you can condemn it. i think members should go on the record to express exactly what they believe on that. i think it was reprehensible. i think it was absolutely wrong. i was terribly disappointed in the president but there is going to be a transition to power. so the point being that it is going to happen on january 20th. and if you're going to start to collectively take a deep breath and move on with this country i think exercise, which really doesn't have enough time to play out anyway will not do things to actually move our country forward. will: yeah. you guys are having an important conversation about the appropriateness of an impeachment trial what it does to this country. it is important to figure out even is it realistic, how much republicans who will be needed
3:15 am
support this type of action. that is important story next couple days. jason, thanks so much for your time this morning. jedediah:ing thank you. will: still ahead after sweeping the georgia runoffs democrats set to take control of the white house and congress. why our next guest says one-party rule will be devastating for america's small businesses next. ♪. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ on the sleep numberowest pri360 smart bed.son can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring... exactly. no problem. ...and done. don't miss our weekend special. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is only $899. plus, 0% interest for 48 months. ends monday.

♪. jedediah: democrats taking control of the senate after jon ossoff and rafael warnock won both georgia seats. in a foxbusiness.com op-ed our next guest warns that america's small businesses are the biggest losers after the runoff. here to explain president and ceo of the jobs creator network, alfredo ortiz. thanks for joining us this morning. if you would, talk a little bit about the impact on small businesses of the georgia results in particular. >> yeah, absolutely. now with a sweep basically with the house, the white house and
3:19 am
then of course now with the senate, this basically is a one-party rule and for small businesses quite frankly they are very concerned about this everything that quite frankly really led to their great success over the past 3 1/2 years, lower regulations and lower taxes, those two in particular are a grave concern that those will try to be reversed. the congressional review act, for example, will probably be used for the first time by democrats being able to overturn the a lot of executive actions taken by the president the last six months. really that increase in regulations which is coming from the green new deal, higher taxes, biggest concern, i have to tell you my phone, my texts, emails are flooding with people going what are we going to do about this? we keep reminding the american public how important small businesses are to the backbone of our country and our community. 30 million small businesses existed before the covid crisis.
3:20 am
10s of thousands of those businesses closed a lot because of the lockdown, because of covid. nothing to do with their mismanagement of their businesses. literally because government shut them down. with one party rule, control of the senate in the hands of democrats there is a lot of growing concern right now we're going back to that era of the biden-obama administration, excuse me, the obama-biden administration where we had negative entrepreneurism, more businesses closing than opening because of high taxes and regulatory environment. jedediah: a lot of businesses suffering across the country through no fault of their own with the lockdowns. there is particular emerging in new york. small businesses are facing a pretty big expense. a 9 billion-dollar tax increase. can you explain a little bit where that comes from, what business owners can expect to emerge here? >> yeah. that is what we're going to start seeing across the states, across the country as well, the tax increases first of all, that basically was passed, being
3:21 am
implemented, in addition to the democrats on a federal basis, you will see something joe biden supported since day one and basically snuck behind the scenes, releasing cap on payroll taxes. $140,000 is the basically the tax. that will be removed. there will be tack increase on all businesses that actually hire folks. frankly self-employed people. that tax will now be unlimited in terms of the income. that will be a huge, huge tax issue this. new york, also has the new minimum wage that will go into effect. on a federal basis, jed, that is another big concern for small businesses. we can pretty much guarranty they will be pushing for 15-dollar federal minimum wage almost from day one. jedediah: people have been fleeing california. they're fleeing new york. this is an enormous problem. thank you very much. it is person to note we reached

3:28 am
a leader after what happened yesterday looks for way to cool heads and heal hearts. that is not what we have in d.c. any way. we don't have leaders but opportunists. what nancy pelosi is the last opportunity to score points for her party, especially the far left side by showing that she has some authority or moral authority over the president and somehow taking him out of office or removing his power. what happened wednesday was terrible. there is no way, we lost a life on wednesday. i think everyone who had a part in that rally shares some responsibility whether that is what they were intending to do or not. something you learn from. something you don't punish for. i don't think anyone at that rally was trying to incite this. they underestimated the amount of passion those people had, instigators. i'm not saying that those instigators were trump supporters, what the ensy gators deserve as complex investigation. to impeach the president rile up supporters honestly if he

democrats how they feel. you have division within the democrat party. it's a mess, joey. you have an op-ed on foxnews.com. after capitol riots this moment matters. we cannot lose faith in america. how can people not lose faith given the mess we're really in. >> you take a deep breath. you control the things you can control. one line in the op-ed you can let the motions control you or control your emotions. we have power still. we have power over state legislatures. there is absolutely no evidence they're was some widespread scheme to state legislature as he haved by record amount of republican governors over last couple elections. we have opportunities to change the election laws in each individual state. it is hard work. it is not easy. it is much easier to hold a rally, don a hat and yell. no matter which of side you're on but the hard work is worth doing. i believe georgia is a red state. majority of citizens are republicans and conservatives a lot of business owners, a lot of

will: here to discuss south carolina's gop congresswoman nancy mace. good morning, congresswoman. >> hey, good morning. thank you for having me on day, we're glad to have you. tell us about this seemingly obvious double standard here. it is not just iran's ayatollah. twitter's choices who, and who not to censor, to suppress seems to be obvious. what is guiding their principle right now? who are they choosing, why are they choosing certain individuals whose voices cannot be heard? >> obviously as you mentioned earlier it is the height of hypocrisy. twitter is a private company, they have rules an standards. they need to be clear and consistent the way they apply them. to ban the president of the united states for his language is one thing but then to allow, let's say the chinese government who just two days ago called for genocide against the uyghurs online, on twitter and the account is still up? the tweet is still up. if you look at iran's supreme
3:37 am
leader calling for terrorist attacks on the u.s. and its allies, they can still tweet. and so if twitter is being completely hypocritical on issue, quite frankly it is un-american. pete: congresswoman to ban the president of the united states is one thing. i was talking to my son, dad, how do you ban the president of the united states? we miss the obvious question sometimes. how absurd it really is. my question is, is twitter an american company? do they put american interests first or do they just benefit from capitalism and our free market, they're happy to allow tin pot dictators to do what they do? >> certainly they're benefiting from ayatollahs being on line threatening citizens, allies, military, threatening terrorist attacks on the united states and our allies. incredibly un-american. and it is so hypocritical and to be going through all the pain that our nation is facing right now, we've been, we've been

3:39 am
perspective because you didn't object to the election results. you faced your own degree of harrassment as a result. yet you are some that is still saying no, impeachment may not be the right thing to do here. why is that? >> well, if you look at right now there are still political charades going on. i think it is very disingenuous in the last 10 days of president trump being in office, only has ten more days, to see democrats taking advantage of what happened last week and politicizing it, making the last 10 days like throwing gasoline on the fire. we really need to focus on having a very peaceful transition of power. i think the president's decision to forego the inauguration was the right one. people shouldn't be worried about going to an event, going to work, threat of violence, fear they might be harmed. i had to have a conversation with my children on friday night just because mommy goes to work in d.c. doesn't mean my life will be in danger every time i go. these are tough discussions to

4:04 am
called a snap impeachment is a contradiction in constitutional terms. this is designed to be a deliberative, not an impulsive act of congress. the framers made it very difficult and what is being suggested now is virtual snap vote on the floor of the house of representatives, on an issue does really need to be deliberated. if they're going to accuse the president of the united states of insurrection or a conspiracy for insurrection, then they need to look very closely at the evidentiary basis for that action. this speech itself does not give a clear basis for the charges of insurrection or incitement. i was critical of the speech while it was going on, i was critical of the speech. i opposed the challenge in congress from the outset but in the speech the president talked
4:05 am
about his followers marching on congress peacefully is one reference that he made. he does not call for riots. he does not call for violence. does that mean the speech was not reckless? i think it was reckless. as i said the speech was being given but speeches encouraging people to go to state and federal capitols to protest what is going on inside happen all the time. i have mean they happen, they have happened the last four years from both the left and the right. that is not an invitation to riot. also challenge itself has been made by democrats in the past. the president in his speech was saying go to the congress to get these republicans to support us in the challenge. i didn't support the challenge but there is, that is political speech. it would in fact be protected under supreme court precedent and the first amendment. so are you going to impeach a president for speech that the supreme court would likely find
4:06 am
protected under the first amendment? will: great point. jedediah: jonathan, on that note i want to ask you about the 25th amendment also because that has been brought up as a potential option. obviously that process would also have to be rushed significantly but if you can speak to the constitutionality of invoking that 25th amendment and what it would mean? >> well the 25th amendment present as different standard. one of the objections i made is that democrats have been using these two provisions interchangeably. they have been demanding that the president be removed either under impeachment or the 25th amendment. first of all the 25th amendment doesn't actually remove a president t shifts the power to the vice president who carries out the powers of the presidency. but the 25th amendment is designed for a very different purpose and has a very different standard. so the idea they're enter changeable is it quite telling. people are focusing on the remedy not the standard. the 25th amendment was
4:07 am
designed for physical, potentially mental disability. the incapacity to carry out the duties of office. there can be evidence brought forward that the president is in fact incapable physically or mentally. that hasn't happened yet. the speech alone is not evidence of incapacity on the 25th amendment. the reason i'm making this cautionary note on both of these provisions, that democrats have to think long and hard about the precedent they're creating. first of all creating a pathway, a snap impeachment process that could be easily used by the other party. in two years the republican cost take over the house of representatives. would they not object to a snap impeachment much a president biden? but more importantly, if you're going to impeach someone over a speech, type of vicarious impeachment you gave a speech while you didn't call for rioting people did riot.
4:08 am
is that the standard going forward, where a president give as speech where supporters get out of hand, commit crimes they can be removed from office. these are very significant questions we have to debate. not in a snap impeachment, not in a rush to try to get this done in the final days but in a serious deliberative process, the very one that the framers laid out for us in the constitution. pete: professor, very important point. the more frequently you misuse processes and terms you dilute the power. you make them misused when not properly implied in the future. democrats, the person that makes that decision, nancy pelosi, xi did an interview on "60 minutes" it will air today, we have a preview forges of it. >> sadly the person running the executive brand such a deranged unhinged president of the united
4:09 am
states and only a number of days we can be protected from him. he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him. >> well i gather that the 25th amendment is off the table? >> no it isn't. nothing is off the table. pete: back to the original topic, she thinks it is so serious that it must be done. us did the fact there was a previous impeachment process about a phone call with the ukrainians, does it dilute their ability to bring this forward? or is it really the snap nature of it you're most concerned about? >> i'm concerned about all of this but the snap nature of it is the threshold problem. that is what is being done here is a rush to both. that means rushed judgment. there are issues here. serious issues that we have to talk about. what could be created here could be destablizing for the future. i know people are angry.
4:10 am
i know people want to see some type of response but in our system it us often as important how you do something as to what you do. and so if the rush is to try to create this ignoble moment in the president on the final days for office the cost may be too high in terms of the constitutional process. once again the idea nothing is off the table, that you can do this under the 25th amendment or impeachment provision is very telling. these are different provisions that address very different problem and has very different standards. they are not interchangeable. so we need mature people to come forward and if they do go down this road to insist that this be done in a deliberative way, not in this impulsive way that is being laid out for next week. will: professor, you talk about how inflamed our political rhetoric is how divided we are, this next story, we have to ask you before you go, this next
4:11 am
story will only exacerbate this problem. the fact big tech companies have not only banned the president from most of their platforms but they're starting to shut down many of those platforms themselves like parler. we're talking about apple, facebook, twitter. of course amazon, apple, other services as well who are shoving speech, including the president of the united states off their platforms. here is what i would love to get your perspective on. yesterday we had vick it david hanson on the show. he talked about comparing big tech. big tech was somewhat coordinated in their response. comparing big tech to the big monopolies of the early 20th century, late 19th century, standard oil. do you look at big tech, antitrust action breaking breaking big tech companies is implication of all this activity? what is the legal implications going on right now. >> there is talk about antitrust
4:12 am
actions again the company. i'm not sure they would sign off on that. there is credible arguments being made that there is too much control. i don't see the type of monopoly terms of discussed in terms of oil companies or other companies that had no competition. there is a very serious problem here. i've been critical of these censorship policies of social media companies for a long time. i don't know, i grew up in a very liberal, democratic family. i don't know when the democratic party became the party in favor of censorship but that is all i hear is speech control, speech limits. my concern is that this effort being now accelerated is only going to push us further apart. we need dialogue right now. i mean, what we saw in on capitol hill with crisis of faith. we have not just lost faith in our constitutional system. we have lost faith in each
4:13 am
other. the way that we solve that is not to stop talking to each other, not trying to silence people, to cancel them. we need to have a dialogue. i got to tell you i have never been more worried of this country because people on both side have taken these self-measures and endangered all of us. jedediah: yeah. jonathan turley, thank you so much today for your insight. obviously these issues are being debated so heavily. you provide us with really clear articulation on the issues and constitutional principles. we appreciate that so much today. will: thank you, professor. >> thank you. jedediah: still ahead bill gates touts himself as having the most invested to combat climate change, a problem he says will be worse than the pandemic. so why is bidding billions on a private jet company? hypocrisy flying high this morning. that is coming up next. seminole. ♪

complained bull at time, they fear the message and issues he harnessed for his campaign. that is what they fear about him. that is why they're silencing him. i guess maybe it should come as little surprise when you look at these donations, you look back at the campaign, you look at the efforts as you point out where they coordinated throughout the entire campaign to insure joe biden would not have to run a campaign, would not have to talk about difficult issues, defend himself against legitimate accusations during the campaign. we put out all the stops to insure he would get elected. pete: charlie, will is right the depth of coordination is stunning also the depth of group think in the corporate boardrooms. they are staffed by leftist who have to bow to the social justice cause or they won't keep their jobs. anybody that threatens that has to be blocked.
4:37 am
i don't know if you heard the interview with amy parler policy officer. >> amazing. pete: in america, you can't have a forum or an app that dares to be a little different? >> note what you said there. leftist. that is because you can't call them liberals anymore. pete: you can't. >> these people are not liberals anymore. i'm like a hair on fire liberal enough. when you look at where are these people have gone from 20 years ago to today they have given up all allegiance to liberalism and believe in free speech. think about this also, the whole supposed reason for section 230 was the idea that the government wanted to give these, these companies breathing room to get up on their feet and get started and create something new, novel and interesting that would promote free speech. what is the first thing that they do when they get that power? they want to use their power to make sure other people can't compete. if this is not a perfect
4:38 am
example, whatever you think of our laws against mow no monopolies if this is not a perfect example after monopoly to use their power no one can compete with them, they can make all the money they want doing what they're doing, whatever it is, first amendment, anything else be damned that is what is going on here. the idea that you have an entire political party that is it going along because it benefits them at this moment the fact that they're going along with it shows how dishonest and disgusting all of it is. jedediah: you know, charlie, the thing for me if google or amazon doesn't like what is going on say parler in terms of how they're moderating things and seeing extremist groups organize, that stuff is going on on twitter too. it is happening on twitter. it is happening among antifa groups. you have can't have a selective lens where you care about the ability to organize and all things going on in dark circles

in the internet and some others. that is making people upset and rightfully so. i want to ask but the wise guys country in crisis. you appear on that. that is on "fox nation." we'll play a clip from it, get your response. >> very important to remember just as we sort of twisted ourselves this summer to separate the lawful protesters this summer from the people that were committing the riots and burning the church and committing all the mayhem, we tried to separate them from people who had actual grievances. they were trying to exercise their first amendment rights. of course they were the big, some of the biggest victims of all of the mayhem this summer just like trump supporters are among the biggest victims of what happened on wednesday at the capitol. jedediah: now that airs tonight at 10:00 p.m. it will be dropping on "fox nation." tell us a little bit about it, charlie? >> obviously "the wise guys" is
4:40 am
a great show. you get a little more time. panelist of four people, you get more time to talk about these issues. my goodness, if there has not been a time in the history of our country we need to work through a lot of very important issues, as you point out with the, you know, with what is going on with big tech, it is very complicated but there are, there are real motives behind the actions taken by these people and it's ugly business. there is no principle that, it is all people trying to accumulate power and make money. it has nothing to do with the principles that make this country great and will make the country great again in the future but we got to deal with these problems right now. pete: you're absolutely right. careful saying great again. that will get you banned. don't do that on social media. charlie hurt, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, guys. good morning. jedediah: thanks, good morning. we'll turn to some headlines.

"you have cancer." how their world stopped and when they found a way to face it. for some, this is where their keytruda story begins. keytruda-a breakthrough immunotherapy that may treat certain cancers. one of those cancers is advanced nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer, where keytruda is approved to be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment, if you do not have an abnormal "egfr" or "alk" gene. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have new or worse cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, increased hunger or thirst, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in urine or eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions,
4:46 am
including immune system problems or if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant or have lung, breathing, or liver problems. today keytruda is fda-approved to treat 16 types of advanced cancer. and is being studied in hundreds of clinical trials exploring ways to treat even more types of cancer. it's tru. keytruda from merck. see the different types of cancer keytruda is approved to treat at keytruda.com, and ask your doctor if keytruda can be part of your story. jedediah: study out of wuhan china claims covid-19 restrictions can linger for months. 3/4 of patients released between hospitals between january and may last year had one symptom six months later but can we trust the source. let's ask fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel.
4:47 am
welcome to the show. when people see the source on this story they get a little bit wary this is happening to people, long covid, link everying symptoms. can you tell us what you're seeing in your practice elongated symptoms with respect to covid, do they resolve, when do they resolve and is there truth to these findings? >> jed, listen you have to question the source but it was 1700 patients and published in the journal lancet. it was carefully vetted. it is an excellent journal. it is hospitalized patients and they were by self-report. i'm finding this of my practice, people hospitalized the predominant system was persistent fatigue or muscle aches. lesser problems with sleeping and with anxiety. i am seeing that among the most severely ill with covid. some still have lung problems, less so but it's a real, real issue. chronic covid is a real issue. that is the bottom line here. the take-home message, the more
4:48 am
severe illnesses more chances of a persistent symptom. probably a lot less than being reported but it is real but it speaks for early, early treatment. jedediah: just as a point of reference i did not get super sick. i was not hospitalized. i had weird stuff for couple months that lingered. that speaks to the vaccine as well. as far as symptoms, you mentioned some, fatigue, muscle weakness, exhaustion, anxiety, trouble sleeping some things being cited. i want to get to the vaccine rollout. you have an op-ed on fox news right now breaks down biden's rollout plan. will biden reversal of trump policy help or hurt. will it help or hurt, dr. siegel? >> first of all i like the concept but i want to point out something about this, there are 22 million doses out there already and only seven million have actually gotten the vaccine. so the predominant problem we're having is are the vaccines staying in freezers?
4:49 am
how are we getting it into peoples arms. that is the number one problem. my feeling about that there is too much regulation from state to state. this is meant to be guidance. give it to health care workers first. people in nursing homes first. then the elderly and front line workers this is guidance. you can't have people throwing away vaccines, opening the package. if the person doesn't show up throwing out the vaccine. you have to have a plan b in place. having said that i'm okay with the idea of a vaccine not being kept in deep federal freezers. let's distribute it. remember something, the fda emergency use authorization and i spoke to dr. hahn, the head of fda this week about this, it has a certain purpose to it. it is a conditional approval. it is based on a clinical trial, on two huge clinical trials, jedediah, basically it shows you have to give the two shots within a certain amount of time in between to prove effectiveness. otherwise you don't know how long it will work for. jedediah: etf been talking about the importance of flexibility
4:50 am
and the roll out. i think that earlier topic speaks to people need to know that the existence of long covid does exist this is not just a conversation about life and death but around some prolonged illness because that may, that may affect their decision whether or not to get their vaccine. that is real. we want to bring that attention today. thank you, dr. siegel. much more to talk about. we're out of time today. >> completely agree with you. you have to get both shots. everyone needs to be vaccinated. the long covid doesn't have to do how severe. very good points, jed. jedediah: thank you, so much, doctor. a indiana restaurant haven for special needs on the receiving end of a good news thanks to the barstool small business fund. how the gift is saving their incredible mission. that is coming up next. 7. bring your family history

5:02 am
good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. parler is a social media network that surged in popularity after the november election, but users are going to find it a lot harder to log on this weekend. both apple and google removing parler from their app stores, the company say it's become a breeding ground for violence and misinformation. they claim the company is not doing enough to protect users. apple says, quote: parler has nod taken -- not taken adequate measures to protect safety. amazon is expected to discontinue hosting parler on its web service, buzzfeed first broke that news. parler ceo furious over all this. he goes this was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the marketplace. we were too successful too fast, you can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue but don't count us out. president trump's twitter, facebook and instagram access has all been cut off following
5:03 am
the attack on the capitol on wednesday. the president says he may create his own platform going guard, but no word on what that's going to look like or if and when that would launch. back to you guys. jedediah: we're going to bring in ben domenech, publisher of "the federalist." obviously, that accusation by parler, that it is a coordinated attack, is what's catching everyone's attention. do you believe this is a coordinated attack against parler? >> it's good to be with you, jedediah, and absolutely. this is obviously a collusive action on the part of these incredibly powerful entities who are seeking to not just destroy their competition, but effectively to silence people who are supporters of the president online. we always knew that something like this could potentially happen, but the argument of a lot of my friends within, you know, the libertarian and conservative community has been, you know, essentially republicans buy sneakers too.
5:04 am
you wouldn't want to see in a capitalist system cutting off customer bases or undermining them, you know, preventing them from accessing your products, but that really doesn't take on as much power as an argument when you've got control of 99% of the market as you do within apple and google controlling the dominant portion of the os market for phones. and that really leads you to have different, you know, measures of what your values are as a company. and in this sense, i think people are basically saying, you know, fine, go build your own phone network, go build your own operating system, go build your own app store which is, of course, a ridiculous thing to argue, but it's also one of the things i think big tech is going to be doing more and more of in the coming months as they crush not just the president himself, but a lot of his supporters and everything that they run to and everything app that they go and find as a substitute for this. pete: it's like arguing go build your own railroad, is effectively what they're saying. [laughter] here's the, we had the policy
5:05 am
chief for parler on, she talked about why she thought they're being targeted. watch. >> we are trying to provide a nonpartisan town square in which people of varying viewpoints can have productive discussions. we face a crucial question right now which is do we want all of the content that is posted online, every single piece, to be scanned, you know, for objectionable content, as they call it, 24/7? and also removed without due process if it's flagged by an algorithm, because that seems to be the standard that parler is being told we must adhere to. clearly, we're being singled out because of our reputation as a conservative, right-wing platform even though we're nonpartisan. pete: they're really just standing for free speech. take your organization, for example, "the federalist." i don't know what your entire business model is, but i'm sure it's predicated in some ways on advertising, facebook, other ways of distributing.
5:06 am
at what point could amazon say we won't house your servers anymore? is anyone immune to this? >> well, pete, in fact, earlier last year we had an experience where google was threatening to de-platform us from their ad production side of things through which the vast majority of ads run on web sites across the internet. what you're really seeing here is big tech doing what the constitution prevents government from doing, an enforcement of a social standard in america. it's very akin of what you have in terms of a social credit system in china, it's just that over there the rules are kind of clear. here they can change the rules of service whenever they want. none of the standards actually are serious. they really come down to if we don't like you, we're going to get rid of you, and we'll find a reason for why. will: yeah, you know, when we talk about our show meeting ahead of time and the different topics we want to cover, i sometimes think we overindex the importance of twitter and how
5:07 am
many people actually pay attention to what's happening on twitter, and i wonder how many people knew what parler was before this week. but i think it's important to note it's part of this authoritarian, leftist monoculture that is not just in tech, it's in act. deem ya and corporate -- academia and corporate media as well. it looks like the house is going to pursue impeachment this week. there's just days left, obviously, in president trump's term, but it looks like nancy pelosi is going to go ahead and pursue impeachment. we had jonathan turley on earlier, and he told us what he thought the legal and appropriate analysis of this was. listen. >> the snap nature of it is the threshold problem. that is, what's being done here is a rushed vote. and that means rushed judgment. there are issues here, serious issues that we have to talk about. what could be created here could be destabilizing for the future. i know people are angry. i know people want to see some
5:08 am
type of response. but in our system it's often as important how you do something as to what you do. and so if the rush is to try to create this ignoble moment for the president in his final days of office, the cost may be too high for us in terms of the constitutional process. will: you know, ben, jonathan said while he thought the president's speech was reckless, he didn't think it amounted to legal incitement, and he also said there, you heard, it would be really damaging to our constitution and political culture to pursue impeachment. what your thoughts? >> jonathan turley's, obviously, a very intelligent analyst, and i like to say -- i would like to echo his words. one of the things that i think we are underestimating is the degree to which this is turning impeachment from a deliberative, serious process, you know, the most significant process that you can have within our legislative form of government, into something that is essentially just an expression of political animosity.
5:09 am
you know, slapping the wrist of the president as he's leaving office in a way designed to just embarrass him more than actually result in any sort of change. that's very dangerous, and it sets a precedent going forward. and i think democrats hay come to regret especially if under a future congress, a republican congress, this is the same type of thing they do in terms of an approach to a president who makes a decision they don't like. pete: just look at bad judges and how the trump administration, mitch mcconnell, were able to ram through hundreds of jr.ists in light -- jurists in light of the way the rules were changed. ben domenech, thank you very much. >> great to be with you. will: a few additional headlines for you. three people are killed and two others hurt in a shooting rampage in chicago. police say the gunman went on a shooting spree starting in south side neighborhoods before making his way north to city of evan son. the victims include a 20-year-old student at the

5:26 am
450-page report that said, you know, amazon, apple, google and facebook were monopolies. and it's ironic, all morning long you've talked about how three of those four entities have taken aggressive action against parler. the reason you even inventing monopoly laws in the first place for what we just saw those three companies do against a potential rival. but on the twitter side, it's ideological, i think. we just simply think that we don't like the ideology. i mean, all 50,000 of those people, you can't tell me they were bad people. now, some have told me ahead of time they were going to leave and go to a different platform, but the overwhelming majority wanted to be on twitter, and twitter invited them on and allowed them to be on for a long time because twitter was getting paid by the eyeballs, their stock was going up. but i think they've all taken a calculated risk that the run is over. they all take the calculated risk that president trump's
5:27 am
influence has waned enough that they don't need to ride his coattails anymore. what i mean by that, on june 5th, 2016, right before the election twitter's stock was trading at $16 a share. now it's $51 a share. on october 31st, a couple of weeks before the election, 2016, "the new york times" was a $10 stock. now it's a $52 stock. "the new york times" was on its way to going out of business. but you know what? they rode the coattails because the trump that they kicked off yesterday was the same trump a year ago and the year before that and the year before that. you know, i get it. for me, this is not about the president, this is about americans, americans who were lured to a platform, used it, connected with people, enjoyed it, enjoyed having a voice, and now they feel like, you know, the tables were turned, and there's no explanation. i've reached out to back channels to jack dorsey. i went to dinner with him with a group of friends and then i went to lunch, me and jack dorsey

5:35 am
if you go back and look at what impeachment's supposed to mean, i mean, this is absurd and the timing makes it even more absurd. i've gone back and reread that speech that the president made prior to rioters, and everyone i know, every single conservative voice i know has universally condemned what happened at the capitol. nobody's defending it. i wish the democrats had -- but let me just say this, if the president could be impeached for what he said, then when will we impeach kamala harris? she raised millions of dollars to bail the rioters and looters last year to bail them out of jail. i want to know if the people pushing for the impeachment, are they pushing for the impeachment of kamala harris? if not, what hypocrisy. pete: governor, to your point, i went back and read the speech as well. a number of paragraphs to include i know everyone here will soon be marching over to

5:37 am
bit of alliteration here. i've been to china, and you can't even google something in that china that in any way might impugn the chinese communist party. that's what i don't think a lot of americans understand, we have freedom, but we're losing it. and we're losing it not to a government, although it's bad enough, we're losing it to private sector, big oligarch companies that want to just trample all over our basic fundamental ability to utilize free speech. i get they're a private platform, but they have become the robber of barons of the current -- robber-barons of the current culture by basically saying if you don't agree with what we agree with, it's not just that we won't like you, we will shut you out of the marketplace. imagine for a moment that if you're mcdonald's and you decide that you're going to, you know, serve french fries but somehow people don't like french fries and they say we're going

to put mcdonald's out of business if you keep serving french fries. this is absurd, and this is what these big tech companies are doing, and it's just amazing they're getting away with it. jedediah: you know, one thing that google and amazon are saying is that they're uncomfortable with the way some of the content is being moderated. they specifieded with respect to parler, they fear they aren't ad hearing to their own rules. now, i take issue with that because they're not saying the same thing to twitter, and we all know there have been bad actors actively out on there twitter causing unrest and organizing as well. so it seems very selective. my question, mike, what do do yu do? these are private companies. you want them to, ultimately -- you don't want the government stepping in and telling them what they can and can't do with respect to third parties, so what do we do here in. >> well, first of all, when you said you don't want the government stepping in, i don't like government stepping in, but

6:02 am
them by even bigger tech. so first you had google saying you can't have your app on android phones. now apple has announced you can't get parler in the apple app store. you go in your apple iphone, you can't download parler unless you already have it. and as of tonight if parler doesn't change the way they monitor things -- and we talked to them earlier -- the servers for parler are going black which means it's gone, it doesn't exist. you won't even be able to access it. here's what apple said in a statement after they decided to deny it in their app store. they said: we've always supported diverse or points of view being represented on the app store, but there is no place for threats of violence and illegal activity. parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats for people's safety. we've suspended parler until they resolve these issues. and, jed, as has been pointed out, trending on twitter over the last 24 hours is hang mike
6:03 am
pence. so it's not as if they had their arms around violent speech or threats, yet they're not under threat of being banned from the app store. jedediah: yeah. they're essentially selectively monitoring these things, is what it looks like. they're saying parler is not adhering to its own protocol as to what should be removed, when it should be removed. obviously, every single site has rules about posts that incite violence. so it seems as though a lot of these companies are just making decisions, you know, while this company, you get punished for not doing x, y and z, but this company over here, you don't. and that's the problem. it's not being applied unilaterally. and we talked about that with respect to twitter too, twitter not applying policy across the board. it's a lot of selective decision making that leads people to believe there's agenda-driven stuff going on. with respect to parler, we spoke with the chief policy officer, and she says that parler has been singled out for a very
6:04 am
specific reason. listen to her perspective on that. >> we are trying to provide a nonpartisan town square in which people of varying view points can have productive discussions. we face a crucial question right now which is do we want all of the content that is posted online, every single piece, to be scanned, you know, for objectionable content as they call it 24/7 and also removed without due process if it's flagged by an algorithm? because that seems to be the standard that parler is being told that we must adhere to. and clearly here we're being singled out because of our reputation as a conservative, right-wing platform even though, as i said, we are nonpartisan. will: earlier we spoke to charles payne on the show, and he fascinatingly highlighted something here. while much of this is driven by ideology, business is playing a role as well. in other words, parler was an emerging competitor to twitter. isn't it convenient to all of a sudden feel like you have a
6:05 am
moral imperative to shut down one of your emerging competitors? what more from the business front? look at what these companies did over the last 4-5 years. they were happy to ride the coattails of president trump and all the attention he common deers while "the new york times"' stock went up, cnn ratings did increase, twitter's attention went up and now all of a sudden with president trump exiting the presidential stage, it's a convenient time for them to all of a sudden divorce themselves from the thing that drove their business decisions for four years. one other point i'd like to make on these, on these free speech issues when it comes to these tech platforms, i think a lot of people don't know what parler is. i don't think a lot of people care what about on twitter. out there in the real world as you go about your lives, we in the media overindex sometimes those types of things. but this is happening in tech. yeah, youtube is kicking you you off should you question coronavirus lockdowns. we know what's happening on these social media platforms when it comes to your political

ideology. but this is happening in corporate environments. you must tow a certain cohesiveness of thought, a monoculture. this is happening, of course, you know, in academia. the point is as we've talked about, the three of us in the past, it's not just political ideology. it's one point of view that this whole culture is now funneling everyone into towing the line of. pete: yeah. comply and obey through political correctness or you will be canceled. and i'm glad you mentioned charles payne. also on facebook he talks about how the actually u.s. user base is a very small fraction of who facebook serves. they're pushing out a few conservatives, what does it matter to them when they've got billions of other people across the world who they can draw in revenue from. yet they're an american company. are they an american company? do they just get to benefit from their free markets as they allow the squelching of speech elsewhere in like twitter, they allow the supreme leader of iran to have a twitter account. he can tweet about death to
6:07 am
israel, but our president can't have one. bitter did take an -- twitter did take an action against the ayatollah of iran, they did take down one tweet about covid-19. they at least have some standards. the single great state sponsor of terrorism gets to have a twitter account, but they can't tweet about covid. the american company allowing our enemies to speak freely but not allowing the president of the united states to speak. we've got another topic as well. obviously, nancy pelosi has said that tomorrow she may begin to pursue impeachment hearings against president trump. now, there are lawmakers, republicans, stepping up and saying -- reaching out to nancy pelosi because joe biden hasn't done this to say we really think this is not the right course of action to go down that track. and here's a list of some of the gop lawmakers -- excuse me, i'm corrected -- urging joe biden to urge nancy pelosi. chip roy, thomas massie, a number of others, mike gallagher
6:08 am
saying to the new president-elect you're the one who needs to step up and do this. you're the one that's talked about unity. but if you want to further divide the country, then impeachment because you've got to look at it from the perspective of trump supporters. if you feel like you've been spied on and russiagate and bob mueller and ukraine9 and the previous impeachment, the boycott of the inauguration, the suppression of big the tech and now you're being told we need to unite while we impeach with ten days left, it doesn't add up. we had nancy mace, republican from south carolina, on earlier. here's what she said. >> to see the democrats taking advantage of what happened last week and politicizing it and making the last ten days, it's like throwing gasoline on the fire. i just think we really need to focus on having a very peaceful transition of power. we need to focus on unity, we need to focus on taking responsibility for what happened on wednesday but also what
6:09 am
happened over the last nine months. this is not the first violent event this year with. we've seen destruction all across the country in cities all across the country, cities being with burned to the ground, businesses being burned down all in the middle of covid. we've got to think hong and hard about how we go from here, both republicans and democrats. jedediah: i think people rightfully take issue with both sides calling for unity because there hasn't been leadership on that. i mean, you know, you look right now, obviously, you can't call for unity in the midst of an impeachment trial when you've got a week to be go until someone is out of office. in the same breath, president trump or republicans calling for unity while questioning the legitimacy of an election that was not supported by facts and misleading a lot of people who now feel joe biden will be an illegitimate president, which is not so, that is not in adherence with a call for unity. so both sides need to be called to account. i think jonathan turley earlier
6:10 am
made a good point. i disagree about whether or not it is an impeachable offense. however, i think his point about timing here and not wanting to rush this process and the dangerous nature of rushing this process and what type of precedent that would set, i think that's a point that you're going to have a lot of reasonable people really take a moment and think about. here's jonathan turley, and then we can talk about it. >> democrats have to think long and hard about the precedent that they're creating. if you go to impeach someone over a speech, you're saying you gave a speech that while you didn't call for rioting, people did riot. well, is that going to be the standard going forward, that a president who gives a speech where supporters get out of hand, where they actually commit crimes, they could be removed from office? these are very significant questions we have to debate not in a snap impeachment, not in a rush to try to get this done in the final days, but in a
6:11 am
serious, deliberative process. the very one that the framers laid out for us in the constitution. will: you know, another point that jonathan turley made whether or not the president's speech on january 6th was legally what you would need to bring a case of incitement when it comes to impeachment. i heard you just said, jedediah, you disagreed with him on this. he used a term that i think is fair, i think the president was reckless. i think he did contribute and shoulders some blame for the chaos that occurred. but i think when you look at the language in that speech, it's going to have to be precise to amount to something that amounts to impeachable incitement. by the way, there's also the political case. and jonathan talked about that. what kind of environment do you create impeaching a president politically at this moment in time? you've asked, jedediah, what message does it send? well, you not doing anything right now to really take the president away from his powers. you're not doing anything other than seeking retribution, and
6:12 am
you're creating a political climate of retribution when it comes to impeachment. i thought jonathan turley was very, very enlightening on this issue earlier. pete: he was great. you've already seen people involved on capitol hill be prosecuted. a lot of people look sideways when they see blm and antifa riots, many people never held accountable, and it was much worse as far as violence, targeting of police, burning, looting of businesses. but if you look at the actual speech of the president, we're going to walk down to the capitol, we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen, i know that everyone here will soon be marching to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. the text of the speech speaks for itself. and i also do take issue with the idea that all of his supporters were sort of duped, that they were victims of misinformation. ultimately, you can't tell people to just follow the facts and ram it down their throat sort of finger-wagging. that works with 4-year-olds, that doesn't work with free
6:13 am
citizens. a lot of people looked at the information themselves and came to the same conclusion, agreeing with the president that, ultimately, he didn't feel like it was above board. so everyone's an adult with personal responsibility in this, and it doesn't necessarily add up to some, you know, giant conspiraciment -- conspiracy. jedediah: i think the problem with the speech will be that the intention was to interrupt a constitutionally-mandated process. if it were just a protest on another day and nothing would happen, i think that the intent was to -- and to put pressure on congressmen and women, to put pressure on mike pence, that was very clear through his speech -- [inaudible conversations] jedediah: that would have been lawless. so this could be -- pete: i mean, that's what we do all the time -- jedediah: -- had they continued through with those actions, and that's why mike pence actually upheld his job, ultimately. but it did interrupt it. but this is a good debate, and this is the debate that they should be having on something as
6:14 am
serious as an impeachment charge. will: all right. we'll try to continue having that conversation throughout the hours and days to come. up next, joe biden set to take dramatic steps as he takes over the national vaccine rollout, but how big of a gamble will he take is? at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different.

6:18 am
desperate times call for desperate measures, and that's the thing. it is a risker it is a gamble. can you insure and guarantee that we will have the second dose available in a timely manner? 21 days if you got the pfizer vaccine or 28 days if you got the moderna vaccine. i want to know what's our manufacturing status. we know pfizer's going to be able to create a billion vaccines in the next year, but what about moderna's? remember, we know that the science and the facts show us the trials and the data give us 95% efficacy if you get your second dose in either 21 days or 28 days. so that's something we really need a close look at because we're already dealing with mutations, we're now going to have a delay, will that reduce the 99 5% every -- efficacy over time? it's something that's potentially doable, it's a matter of strategic planning and organization and making sure we've got that second dose available. i like the idea of expanding the

6:24 am
authoritarian leaders to tweet with free reign while censoring the president of the united states. when president trump was banned on friday, supreme leader of iran used the platform to mock american values and the capitol breach. and an account linked to the chinese communist party. let's bring in fox news senior strategic analyst jack keane. general, thank you so much for being here this morning. before i get your comment, this tweet from the supreme leader of iran still up on twitter right now at this moment, general. and i'll read it. it says down with usa. means down with donald trump, ambassador john bolton and secretary pompeo. it means death to the american politicians currently in power. it means death to the few people running the country -- we have nothing against the american nation in general. how do we exist in a country that has a double standard where our own commander in chief is blocked yet our enemies are
6:25 am
allowed to tweet us our death? >> well, it's complete hypocrisy, for sure, pete. and it's good we're going to have this national discussion on these media platforms shutting down people because of their opinions even though they may be offensive to the people that run those platforms. this is supposed to be an open society, not a closed society in america and, certainly, free speech is absolutely one of our primary foundations. but dealing with these countries, pete, it's not surprising what they're doing as a result of the mob violence that we, you know, we all found horrific. pete: yeah. >> they're exploiting it. when it comes to russia, china and iran, as a matter of national interest, they have policies and programs to undermine american democracy on a daily basis. that is what they are about. so it's not surprising that they would be exploiting it. and it is, it's quite rich in the sense that they would take this on because here we have
6:26 am
iran in this last year, pete, iran has killed 1500 people on the streetses for protesting -- streets. they've put 12,500 of them in jail. and if you're in an iranian jail, you're also being tortured. in china if you speak out, as we know and you have any prominence whatsoever, you go missing or you get put in jail, and you're going to be tortured as a result of it. and there's 380 concentration camps in china housing the uighurs, somewhere between the estimates are 1 million to 2 million people. and in russia, as we know, if you're a political opponent to putin, you're likely to be killed. and that's the facts of it. so, yes, they're exploiting this. not surprising it is, but i think most people, most people's countries who have like-minded democracies like us, while they were horrified by what they saw in america to be sure just like our own people were, they're not paying much attention to what these repressive countries have to say about america. pete: but those repressive
6:27 am
countries are paying attention to us, and i'm sure you saw the fact that nancy pelosi reached out to the chairman of the joint chiefs about the nuclear arsenal. she's not in the chain of command, unless i'm wrong, general. what was that step, and does it send a signal of confusion to our enemies that they may try to exploit? >> well, it's very unusual. if you're trying to just solicit information about the process, that would be one thing, but i actually think it's likely that she was trying to influence the process, and she's not in the chain of command. so -- and the other thing is, is that from general milley's perspective, i mean, he's well grounded in what that process is, certainly, and now he has the speaker of the house calling him about it. is he supposed to consult with her in the future? i mean, that's nonsense. of course, that's not going to happen, but that's the implication of it. i think she was misguiding in doing that -- misguided in doing
6:28 am
