todd: a lot of issues to discuss. "fox & friends" is going to take it from here and discuss many if not all of those issues. jillian: absolutely. we will keep you covered here. in the mean time "fox & friends" starts right now. see you back here tomorrow 4:00 to 6:00 a.m. have a great day everybody, bye-bye. >> security concerns surrounding democrats' rushed impeachment vote. >> so ill advised for joe biden come in trying to heal the country. >> it would be better if the president-elect came out and told his party to stand down. >> parler suing amazon for suspension of its service. >> it's not just our they can shut down a billion-dollar company overnight. >> political the rest of it is about shutting down voices that they and their staff do not agree with. >> that's not america and that's what i find so very depressing about this. [crying] you guys are angels. >> that's the oldest bar west of the mississippi. to lose a bar like that and have nobody pay attention, that's why these people are breaking down.
3:01 am
>> bama bludgeons the buckeyes and saban sets past paul bryant with his seventh national championship. >> all right. here we go. a fox news alert. new security concerns will surround tomorrow's house vote to impeach president trump for a second time? steve: this as many republicans block the 25th amendment. they have given the vice president the house democrat have 24 hours to invoke the 25th amendment. ainsley: right. that's not going to happen so they will end up taking up a vote tomorrow. griff jenkins is live in washington with more for us. griff: good morning. a lot to get to. starting with this. the president is taking some of the blame for the capitol riot according to minority leader kevin mccarthy who says the president acknowledged it that conversation with him. mccarthy then relaying that to the house republicans on a conference call yesterday, according to sources familiar with that call. now, this as the house moves
3:02 am
forward on a single article of impeachment. incrime of insurrection. house democrats issuing a statement after introducing it saying, quote: we cannot begin to heal the soul of this country without first delivering swift justice to all its enemies, foreclosure and domestic. speaker pelosi appears confident she has the votes. some senate democrats are warning against it. >> there will be 48 still 48 democrats until we seat warnock and senator ossoff. so, until that happens, will you need 67 votes. i think my aarithmetic that means we have 19 republicans. i don't see that and i think the house should know that, also. we have been trying to send that message over. >> meanwhile, house republicans are calling on president-elect biden to intervene in the rush to impeach. >> this president is not an imminent threat to this country at this point. let's get through the inauguration and let's look back and make some decisions.
3:03 am
griff: this as at fox news learns lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have security concerns because of impeachment vote because not all security measures are fully in place. yesterday president trump approved an emergency declaration in d.c. ahead of biden's inauguration saying conditions exist from january 11th to the 24th. we may hear from president trump actually, guys, when he heads down to the texas border to tout some 450 miles built since he became president. brian, ainsley, steve? brian brian all right. thanks, griff. griff has been at the border an awful lot. he knows, too, if they stop building the wall there is huge penalties to pay for that these contracts have been signed hopefully president-elect joe biden realizes that by the way, do you know what the theme to joe biden's inauguration is and maybe his first four years american united. do you know one thing that can guarantee america won't be united? ainsley: having impeachment. brian: having an impeachment trial on a president who will be at mauller. think about the wisdom of that the if you believe america works
3:04 am
better together. if you believe that america could be more effective and has been ineffective because we have been at each other's throats? what could be more disenchanting. ainsley: they don't want him to run again. brian: they don't want him to run again, that's fine. you understand too a lot of people want him to, number one, continue to be a force in the republican party. believe a lot what he believes. he has 75 million supporters. if you have overarching sense that i have got to bring the country together because we see what's happening around this country how 50 state houses are being threatened on inauguration day this is the last thing you want to do. it astounds me that now chuck schumer, guys, is exploring a possible work around using the authority granted to two senators back in 2004 to reconvene the senate in times of emergency, i assume, this and have a quick impeachment vote. fantastic idea. mitch mcconnell has to sign off on it but it would be as dumb as nancy pelosi hopping on "60 minutes" last night and saying the president is imminent
3:05 am
threat. ainsley: mitch mcconnell said i wouldn't do that. >> i wouldn't bring back emergency session unless i had support of all 100 senators. brian: exactly. steve: brian, you just touched on it the worry of federal officials and other law enforcement folks around the country are -- they have intel that they are -- you know, they're looking online. they know that just like before the riots in washington last week, there are armed protests planned all across the country. and, in fact, there are apparently armed protests planned in all 50 state capitols. protesting is fine. but given the fact of what happened last week, it would be great if the president came out and said in the next, you know, before inauguration day, you know, it's fine to hear your voice and express your opinion but there cannot be any violence absolutely none. because violence is what got him into all this hot water. apparently behind the scenes the
3:06 am
idea over the next week or so will with the president is essentially to run out the clock. and jared kushner is working the phones urging his allies to argue there is not enough time. but then, brian, to your point, about, you know, is this the kind of united america that joe biden want to start with? no. because he wants everybody on the same page but if you are going after somebody who is very popular to a big chunk of the country that's a problem. kim pearly strossel from the "wall street journal" has that observation will yesterday. it's not that there isn't the will you don't have the time. are the house is going to bring this up on wednesday even if they did it all in a day that would leave six days for the senate to get through an entire impeachment process and that would be just to then deprive the president of one day in office this is most hurting joe
3:07 am
biden. we don't have any of his national security staff or nominees confirmed yet. that's unprecedented and the senate doesn't have time to do both of these. it would be better if the president-elect came out and told his party to stand down. steve: well, that would be great. and apparently yesterday, when he got his -- he got his second dose of the vaccine, joe biden said he is asking the senate to see whether or not they can beaver indicate what they are bifurcate what they are doing. in other words, can they do two things at the same time. the will parliamentarian. will people looked at it before miley unlikely that the senate could go ahead and have a trial, ainsley, which would consume the entire senate and do the business of the early days of the joe biden administration. ainsley: yeah. well, so the house can do it just for the vote. they will do it this week. that's going to happen just like they did last year, right?
3:08 am
steve: simple majority. ainsley: led to an acquittal. the trial took three weeks last year. if the senate decides to take on this trial, it could take that long. they wouldn't even get it until next week because mitch mcconnell is not going to bring them back for emergency session this week unless he has support of everyone and that's not going to happen. if they start this trial next week and takes three weeks. that means that's going to delay joe biden's cabinet picks and those nominations. it's also going to delay some of his policies, legislative initiatives from not moving ahead including a new round of economic stimulus. so how is that going to make everyone around the country feel? these restaurant owners that have closed down. these people, these dry cleaners that aren't getting the money that they used to in their businesses and they are wrapped up in impeachment when america is saying look, we need help. and our biggest issue right now vaccines, staying safe. opening our businesses. steve: and, ainsley, to your point about it just takes a simple majority in the house. ainsley: right. steve: they have got the majority, that's one thing. but then when there is a senate trial, it takes a super
3:09 am
majority. you have got to have 67 u.s. senators say yep, let's convict him of this impeachable offense which in this case is incrime of insurrection. will. brian: if you want to stand the economy back up and confirm your nominations and go et this country together, you don't spend the first half of the day before lunch trying to convict al president that's at his resort. ainsley: he would need 7 republican senators to support it. brian: ainsley, it's a colossal waste of time. it would be different if it's a year and a half it's six days. ainsley: do you think they will take it up like clyburn 100 days later and that way he won't be able to run again. brian: fends if joe biden has an ounce of leadership in his body he will not allow it. steve: 67. brian: big tech censorship. probably the most disturbing series of events that took place that even alerted other world leaders like angela merkel. they have totally shut down the president of the united states doing his job. they shut down the twitter account for the president. they shut down his personal
3:10 am
twitter account. they shut down facebook. they shut down parler. where a lot of conservatives were leaving twitter and they were going to parler. and then out of nowhere friday night, they decide without telling them, they found out on buzzfeed reading a news story that parler was being disbanded, essentially. amazon, apple and google said you just do not meet our qualifications. so to parler's credit, they have filed a lawsuit against amazon, accusing the company of antitrust violations after are they're cut its web services. right now they are flat on their back. can you imagine being the number one app. in the country, one day, and the next time combined series of forces take you down to your knees. john matze was on last night. he is the parler ceo with tucker. >> we woke up on friday thinking business will -- never business as usual parler but at least close to usual as possible number one on the app. store. you know, we had almost 7 million unique people on the app. that day.
3:11 am
and we get a notice, you know, you are in violation of our terms. one after another. we found out first in some cases not from the companies but from buzzfeed. you know, we didn't get a notice from google. we read it online in the news first. we get annual email after email. you know, it's almost like you're just waiting who is going to be next? dumping us. everybody. the last thing we have right now is email and i bet you within 24 hours our email will be shut off, too. people threatening my life. i can't go home tonight. this is not just, you know, arer civillicious they can shut down you half a billion dollars company. this is where we are getting valuations at overnight. brian: i would love democrats to be just as upset as republicans on this. they're coming for you. do you want big tech to be in control of your life and be your national editor? elon musk is not happy about it responding to this story said a lot of people are going to be super unhappy with west coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech. truly disturbing what is taking place right now. steve: when you hear the ceo say
3:12 am
we woke up on friday and we thought everything was fine, there is a reach for that. there is a great story in the "wall street journal" this morning that explains exactly what parler has been doing. on the day of the riots, amazon reached out to parler and said hey, there is a bunch of stuff on your website that is inappropriate. you have got to do something about it. and so they had 24 hours to respond and they did. and then amazon heard the response and said, you know what? consider this resolved, you are fine. but then the next day amazon announced that they were booth them as did google and apple. isn't that interesting? all the vendors pulled the plug. brian: unbelievable. steve: at the same time. it appears to be some sort of collusion. high tech do collusion with monster monopolies they all to the together on the same day. behind the scenes there had been a push to try to punish the advertisers who are part of the
3:13 am
parler community and things like that. and also behind the scenes the employees of google and amazon and apple will complaining we have got to do something about country and so is it just a coincidence that suddenly they all did something at the same time? this is clear -- i think his argument, his lawsuit against amazon, parler's, i think the best thing they got going is antitrust thing. it does look like collusion. keep in mind, when you hear the free speech thing, that's one thing. but the first amendment does not apply to private businesses. they can do whatever they want. but nonetheless, can they all get together and try to shut out another business? no. ainsley: so the statement from amazon they say it is clear that there is significant content on parler that encourages and incites violence against others. and that parler is unable or unwilling to promptly identify and remove this content which is
3:14 am
a violation of our terms of services. we made our concerns known to parler over a number of weeks. and during that time we saw significant increase in this type of dangerous content. not a decrease. which led to our suspension of their services on sunday evening. now, rand paul's wife made a good point. she put a message on twitter and it was directed at jack dorsey the ceo of twitter because she is basically saying you can't pick and choose. why can some people be be violent and incite violence towards my family when parler is getting shut down on a certain platform but yet parler is getting shut down for the very thing hey jack meaning jack dorsey. remember how last three years allowed thousands of hateful tweets celebrating my husband's assault and encouraging more violence against him. i do. the question is it really about inciting violence or is it about competition or is it about shutting down conservatives? many people are asking those questions. here is brit hume. >> you might be able to make a
3:15 am
case for what these big tech companies are doing if they did it consistently. in other words, if they are saying well, you know, people on your platform, sir, are talking about doing violence and so on and we can't have that. you know, this h they have got r of foreign countries the ayatollah in iran and other foreign leaders threatening all kinds of mayhem around the world. and that does not allow -- that does not lead to their being disqualified. this is political. this is not about safety. it's not about any of the rest of it. it's about shutting down voices that they and their staffs don't agree with they have the power now. i think these big tech companies are playing with fire. ainsley: a lot of conservatives are upset including rush limbaugh. he took down his twitter page and many are wondering what's happening with parler? are they going to be allowed to find another host for their business? john matze the ceo says it's difficult to find a new vendor at first they will say no problem we found a new vendor. then he says we call up the new
3:16 am
vendor and good to go. at the last second somebody said something and now we can't. will. steve: collusion, corporate collusion. brian: he said that the legal team quit on them. so they lose their lawyers. they lose their vendors. they lose all access to their website and they look around and go wait a second, where can i go? you know, i can't just use another airline. amazon is in control of just about everything. it's going to be up to the courts to really save the country and i think it's incredible too what else is happening with corporate america. corporate america is essentially signing off on the two party system. and just goings all in on democrats. divorcing themself from republicans. look at these employee donations that that have already gone to joe biden going in to this election as opposed to donald trump. joe biden over 4 million if you look at. ainsley: from google. brian: microsoft over 2 million. are donald trump 247,000. these are from employees.
3:17 am
amazon 2.2 million from amazon employees to trump 260,000. so you knew where they stand. look at apple 1.' to $97,000. facebook biden gets 1.5. trump gets 40,000. so you know exactly where their employees stand. these companies with all their power are saying i am picking democrats but i can't afford to really do that because the republicans have the power. they have the majority in the senate and the presidency. but as soon as as they seemingly got the majority in the senate and slight majority in the house and presidency they are all in on how they feel democrats are the right party. they are the ones that reflect what they believe the direction of the country should go in. forget about fairness. governor mike huckabee. >> the media is oblivious, totally oblivious to the things that have been said towards 75 or so million americans who really don't care that much
3:18 am
about hurting anybody. and in fact, don't want to. don't want to put anybody out of business. just want to live our lives, be left alone. but, this kind of atmosphere we're seeing, they are not just about yelling and screaming at us and condescending to us and treating us like dupes. they hate us enough. they want to put us all out of business and make us go away. that's not america. and that's what i find so very depressing about this. brian: and in 15 minutes we're going to tell you about other corporations that are now jumping off the republican bandwagon for good. i think this is a really scary time. i mean, i don't see any remedy except the courts using logic and law if they're not corrupted. steve: what happened last wednesday was terrible, and differential entities are responding in different ways. you know, the corporate reaction seems to be in two broad categories. one, a lot of corporations are going after specific lawmakers
3:19 am
who refuse the certification last wednesday. and, you know, and i understand what their thinking is. but the other way is some corporations are stopping all contributions across the board. they are just saying it's too controversial, ainsley. we are not going to put any of our money into anybody's pocket. ainsley: talking about 147 republican lawmakers that opposed the certification and so these companies are. steve: going to be hard for them to raise money going forward. ainsley: that's right. all right. steve? steve: no, ainsley, you tell us what's coming up. ainsley: all right. back to our top story house democrats speed toward impeaching president trump again. jonathan turley on why he says biden missed a moment of leadership coming up next.
3:21 am
3:22 am
3:24 am
brian: democrats moving full speed ahead with impeachment setting tomorrow to vote to impeach president trump for the second time. let's bring in jonathan turley. he testified in the impeachment hearings for president trump and bill clinton who did not call on him because they didn't like what he had to say. house is going to have no debate. a simple vote on weapons. how does this play out? >> well, it's going to come down to a muscle vote. they will see how many if they get over the line in terms of majority for impeachment, what is a real shame is we're not going to have a very deliberative process. there are some very serious issues here. questions about not just the basis of the impeachment but also this idea of a snap impeachment. creating a pathway an easy quick way to impeach. it's ironic that in the last impeachment i chastised the democrats for impeaching on the
3:25 am
thinnest record in the shortest period of time of any in presidential impeachment. they have now outdone themselves. they are going to go straight to the floor essentially and just do an up or down vote. that's the type of impulse by impeachment that we thought the constitution would deter. but, they're creating this pathway that could very well be used in the future. and i think the lack of serious debate o disappointing. will. brian: that's very measured of you, disappointing? and disheartening, and destructive to the country. but i digress. chuck schumer is exploring a possible work around using the authority granted in 2004 where two senate leaders in 2004 we convened the senate in times of emergency. he is hoping to do that in order to get the senate to vote before january t to 20th. >> it is possible they can do
3:26 am
this. some of these measures require unanimous consent. others can do a work around of this kind. the real question, the immediate question for coming is whether they should go down this path. and senator marchen showed real leadership and said that he considers this ill advised. it is a test of leadership. i'm afraid president-elect biden has thus far failed. he can come forward and say it's time to unite this country. we don't want to rush impeachments in this country. we don't want to use the system in the final days of the term without at least discussing the implication of what we're doing. brian: jonathan, i agree with you. and could job, joe marchen. parler filed a lawsuit yesterday against amazon accusing the company of antitrust violation after they cut it web services and everybody else followed suit. do they have a strong case? >> well, they have a case. it's very hard to make out these
3:27 am
antitrust cases. they take a long time. they are very expensive. that's going to be a challenge for parler. you know, there are groups like the lincoln project that have run campaign campaigns to harass lawyers so that they don't represent conservatives or the trump campaign or the republican party. and they are likely to face that again so these are major companies that are likely to grind them. but, the interesting thing for parler would be to get into discovery. there is enough here that they may be able to get into discovery and learn about how this decision was made. will the interesting aspect, brian, is that this is sort of a blind spot in terms of our laws. you know, w we are used to the classic collusion scene of some dark back room of corporate giants. but what we have seen is that you can have actively state media by default. can you have people who essentially get the message. you have seen that in the
3:28 am
mainstream media and seen that in these companies. they might not have to collude in any direct sense to achieve this uniformity of action. and the result is a serious blow to free speech. and while these people say look, it's not a free speech problem. it's a first amendment only address of the government. it's not a first amendment problem but it's a free speech problem. free speech is broader than the first amendment. brian: wow, i hate to think that the law firms are no going to be intimidated to not take certain point of view. my resume has a lincoln project on it that should be disqualifying. they are a despicable organization. jonathan turley, thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: so much for unity. forbes column issuing warning to businesses that hire trump officials. while our next guest says this could just be the beginning. ♪ mood swings

ainsley: right. also big tech if you look at the amount of donations that they gave to joe biden vs. donald trump, look at the numbers. i mean, millions to joe biden, hundreds of thousands to donald trump. but it's no secret. we know big tech likes the left. look what they gave ossoff in georgia supporting him in his campaign. >> and that's why it's so interesting because after the georgia elections, we saw the number one group of stocks that were hit by far, by far were those names you just showed. it's just they were absolutely crushed. the workers there obviously very far left ideologies, and here's the thing. we're supposed to believe as consumers or users of their products that they're always going to be fair. that they are never will the political ideology that is so steeped so deeply they would actually donate 95, 99% of their money to candidates that actually want to break up their businesses or do harm to their
3:45 am
businesses. that's how deeply entrenched it is. so as a consumer or users of those products and services, certain portions of the population will never be mistreated. that's a lot of suspension of disbelief. brian: charles, real quick. the problem is they are not just going with the people in power. they are looking to rig the game. if corporations copy out with big tech along with the media which is already in the democrat camp there is not going to be a two party system if this continues at the rate it's happening and if friday night was just an aberration or the new tradition, that's what worries me. they are all in on changing the country and even if you go back to education, what they're doing for the next generation. that's why this is more than just an investment. they're actually putting their hand on the scale. they want to win with democratic principles and causes. they are not just going for the strong horse. they are going for the horse they chose. just real quick, go ahead. >> yeah. no, i was going to say.
3:46 am
any time they write a check, they're putting their finger on the scales. even before this. you know. and, you know, they were trying to have their cake and eat it too. if you buy off everyone, you will get your way essentially. but, you know, we will see, brian. you bring up a legitimate concern. i hope that these are just temporary. you know, and i do hope that by the way they have established a precedence so that when we see unsavory behavior on any side of the political aisle they follow through with this. if indeed this is the route they say they going to go down. brian: next time they burn down a city with a civil unrest, let's see if anybody corporations cut anybody off or do they actually support that cause that burned down the city? what they have done in the past. steve: charles, you are hosting a virtual town hall tomorrow on the future of capitalism. right? >> i am. you know, i've got to tell you, you want to talk about something that's been a long time coming, this tug-of-war has gone on for a very long time and i will say capitalism is on it heals.
3:47 am
by the way, part of this discussion is that from an ideological point of view, fred smith fedex does not see eye to eye with most the liberals but, you know, the idea now is that you are on your heels. you look at the changes made at the chamber of commerce and other places, capitalism, american style capitalism is in trouble. the question is what are they going to do to be be -- to stay preeminent in this country. brian: keep giving away money. ainsley: thank you so much,. charles: charles see you later. ainsley: bye. hand it over to janice. i heard you say this morning we are going to get a lot of cold weather next week. dolls that mean snow? janice: maybe. so we will talk about that real quick. but let's go over what happens happening now and i will tell in the future the future ball will come out. here is what we're dealing with now across the east coast. leftover rain from that storm that brought incredible amounts of snow to texas. the northwest, you are getting socked again with heavy rain and
3:48 am
mountain snow, feet of snow across the northern rockies and cascades. and we have flash flood warnings in place. we are expecting several inches following weeing are change in terms of temperatures. stay tuned. pack to you. steve: that's okay. it's winter. brian: yup. thanks, janice. coming up straight ahead, new yorkers flocking to the sunshine state fleeing high taxes and strict lockdowns including our next guest who is in the real estate industry. it's going to be a great segment. don't miss it. there will be a quiz ♪ it will all come out, all come out in the wash ♪ every little thing ♪ every little heart break no

state and why wouldn't you? you just saw janice's forecast. according to a new op-ed in the "new york post" there is a good reason arguing florida's approach is putting the empire state to shame. our next guest lived in new york city over a decade before moving to florida in march of last year. joining us now chief economist and real estate sales person for net seeker international aaron sikes joins us. >> good morning. steve: let's go back to the beginning of the pandemic. where were you? >> i had actually already decided to move to florida. during 201, late 2019, that's when i started my transition and my anticipation was about 70 in florida and 30% in manhattan. everything just got accelerated come march. i'm staying put. this is where i want to be right now. steve: absolutely. you are not alone. and, you know, to be in your business is great because real estate the values are going up
3:54 am
in florida and a lot of other places where big places like new york, new jersey, connecticut, the real estate prices not going up. but, part of it has to do with just, you know, karol markowicz at the "new york post" wrote an op-ed that appeared a day or two ago and talked about how how she went down to palm beach and she had heard, you know, the thing about florida is nobody wears a mask. and she gets there and she realizes everybody is wearing a mask except when you are outside. >> exactly. and we have so many misnomers floating around. people are very safe here. we have ample free covid testing. we have on point distribution of the vaccine. so, we have businesses open and we have a beautiful indoor-outdoor lifestyle. steve: absolutely. so you have got restaurants, i believe, are full capacity here in new york. it's off and on sometimes it's open. sometimes it's closed.
3:55 am
when it comes to school, all the districts in -- all the school districts in florida are wide open. meanwhile here in new york, it's based on the infection rate. you know, how many people as you look at this graphic right here and then lower left-hand corner mask and face covering in florida it's recommended' in new york it's required. and you look at the number of vaccines. florida is actually outpacing new york. but new york is outpacing florida in the number of deaths. i think close to 40,000 people have died in new york and 22,000 in florida, which is a terrible number. but, nonetheless, you know, the way these two states are handling it are completely different. >> absolutely. and what we have here is the ability to earn a living. and to not default on your financial obligations like we are seeing so many new yorkers not paying their rent and landlords not being able to get
3:56 am
them out because of the virus. so, i think that it just doesn't make any sense how the story has been told where we really are safe counsel here. steve: right. >> we are paying attention to guidelines. we are also supporting our neighbors. and i think that's the main attraction too many people coming out of new york and california you can at this point to live your life in a safe manner but also be financially stable during this difficult time. steve: erin sikes we thank you very much great. >> thank you. ♪ research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia.

over op-ed threatening any company hiring people who work for president trump. >> this is about so many people on the left and in the media tonight want half of the country to be able to partake in everyday society. ♪ ainsley: this is a fox news alert. new security concerns surround tomorrow's house vote to impeach president trump for a second time. brian: it's getting serious. as republicans block an attempt to invoke the 25th amendment. steve: our man griff jenkins is live in washington with more on this and so much more. griff? griff: a whole lot more steve, ainsley and brian. good morning. the president says he takes some responsibility for last wednesday's capitol riot according to minority leader kevin mccarthy saying the president acknowledged it in a conversation with him. mccarthy then relaying that to house republicans on a conference call yesterday sources tell fox news. now, this as speaker pelosi moves forward on a single article of impeachment incrime of insurrection. the article reads in part, quote: in all of this president trump gravely endangered the
4:02 am
security of the united states and its institutions of government. he threatened the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperiled a coequal branch of government. speaker pelosi appears confident she has the votes. but some senate democrats are warning against it. >> 48 still, 48 democrats until we seat warnock and senator ossoff. so, until that happens, you need 67 votes. i think my arithmetic that means we have 1 19 republicans. i don't see that and i think the house should know that also. we have been trying to send that message over. griff: meanwhile house republicans are call on president-elect biden who intervene in the push to impeach.gress. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have security concerns ahead of any impeachment vote
4:03 am
because not all security measures are fully in place. yesterday, president trump approved an emergency declaration of d.c. ahead of biden inauguration continues through january 24th. we could hear from the president today because he is traveling down to the texas border to highlight 450 miles of border wall. brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: all right. thank you so much, griff. chuck schumer is calling for an emergency session. we know this is going to happen in the house this week. it's really up to the senate because they have to have the trial. they get the lawyers involved. will that happen or not? well, mitch mcconnell said i would not bring everywhere back for an emergency session unless i had the support of all hundred senator. we know that's not the case. they will come back next week. the inauguration is on tuesday. they really don't have time to do this. and many are saying the risk of this. what's the risk even for joe biden? it would hold up his confirmation, his cabinet confirmations because, remember, last time they tried to do this and president trump was acquitted. the trial took three weeks.
4:04 am
so if that takes three weeks, he went be able to have his cabinet confirmed, possibly. and also they are worried about the legislative initiatives and how that's going to affect his plans going forward. steve: sure. ainsley: including a new round of economic stimulus. will that hold that up for the restaurant owners? and then there is jim clyburn who says let's wait 100 days after inauguration. then let's do. this i think is the purpose here to make sure that donald trump can't run again? are they fearful of that, brian? brian: well,. steve: nancy pelosi said that. brian: right now approval rating 33%. and you see the problems he is having. they shut him down on all social media. why do they still fear him because of jonathan swan said the other day there is no indication that the 70 million people that voted for him regret it. in fact, they are more dug in than ever. the other thing i would add, too. is this is such a rush. like last time. we have to quickly -- we have to quickly indict the president. we have to impeach him in the house. then nancy pelosi just had christmas and the new years and
4:05 am
had their celebration and then brought it to the senate after. we have to quickly convict him in the house and now she evidently reportedly has to at the very least hold on for until january 19th for the senate to get it and vote on it. there is a sense that will they are going back to 2004 are where chuck schumer said that i might go back to this rule in case of emergency we could have a quick vote and call everybody back. but the majority and minority leader have to agree on it. this whole snap impeachment or the rocket impeachment has really disturbed jonathan turley because he, like many of you, think long term. beyond today. beyond trump. >> there are some very serious issues here. questions about not just the basis of the impeachment. but also this idea of a snap impeachment. creating a pathway. an easy quick way to impeach. it's ironic in the last impeachment i chastised the democrats for impeaching on the
4:06 am
thinnest record in the shortest period of time of any of presidential impeachment. they have now outdone themselves. they are going to go straight to the floor, essentially, and just do an up or down vote. that's the type of impulse by impeachment that we thought the constitution would deter. brian: so alan dershowitz said is interesting. he thinks the tactic is. this he says they just want to bring the indictment. it's like the prosecutor bringing the indictment and not have a sentence. just leaving it out there to say if you run to your point, ainsley, we are going to push forward with this. i thought it was very interesting, too. kevin mccarthy evidently had a heated conversation with the president yesterday morning reported in axios and the daily mail at which time he told the president these weren't antifa. these were maga because the president had been telling confidents these were antifa. he goes this was maga. when the president brought up, you know what? this is election fraud and i was
4:07 am
robbed he said mr. president it is over and the president did admit some of the things that he said played a role in that invasion of the capitol. steve: right. as griff said the president is taking many so responsibility for it. what's interesting though is pat cipollone who is the president's attorney, apparently they were having a conversation, i believe this story was in bloomberg this morning said could i pardon myself? and given the fact that theres were people who were killed last week in washington, d.c., there is a possibility that the president could -- this is from pat cipollone the president could face legal jeopardy. apparently reportedly he said mr. president think o.j. o.j. was essentially found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife but later they certified civil penalties when he was sued by
4:08 am
his ex-wife's family for her death. ultimately, could those families of people who died in the a lot of thing and the rioting are, rioting according to the police there. could they possibly sue the president? could the president actually face murder charges? i heard that being talked about a little bit yesterday. nonetheless. brian: that's a huge leap. murder charges? steve: i'm just reporting, brian. ultimately the white house though what they are trying to do is trying to run out the clock until next wednesday and that's what they are going to do. apparently the president had a conversation with lindsey graham. lindsey graham said why don't you just try to highlight some of your accomplishments. remind people of your legacy. that is one of the reasons why he is going down to the southern border today. also, it does sound as if he is going to have a bunch more pardons and he is going to try to do something regarding big tech, those monster monopolies through some sort of executive order. coming up very shortly.
4:09 am
ainsley: all right. so we're going to put up a list of companies and you probably use a lot of these companies. i know i do. many of them are cutting off political donations. hook at that on your screen. u.p.s., fedex. it looks like ford, marriott. these corporations, are not going to give any campaign dollars to the 147 republicans who objected to the electoral college count. they have decided to -- they just said look, it incited violent. that day at the capitol so we're not going to give you money. many of these republicans are saying look, we weren't trying to overthrow the election. we just want to make sure there is integrity. steve: they just wanted the debate which has happened before by democrats democrats wanted to debate the certification before. that's why there are some who say this isn't exactly fair. ainsley: then if you look at big tech, the money donated you heard sean hannity at the top of the show donated 20 times more to biden than they did to donald trump. look at those numbers. pretty staggering. so you can see on the left-hand side of your screen that's all
4:10 am
the money that was donated to biden by google and microsoft, amazon, apple, facebook, millions of dollars. and then look at trump. and, you know, this brings -- we had charles payne on earlier and talked about this. how many of these have these products? we have apple products. i have a lot of apple products. you probably do, too. there is nowhere else for you to go. steve: they are great products. ainsley: android is google. if you buy their products put money in their pockets and they give it to these campaigns. here is charles payne. >> this is a slippery slope. you know, all the articles call them donations. really they are investments. corporate america tries to buy off lawmakers to do their bidding we supposed to belief that as consumers or users of their product that they are always going to be fair that they are always -- that never will their political ideology that is so -- seeped so deeply that they would actually donate 95, 99% ever their money to
4:11 am
candidates who actually want to break up their businesses or do harm to their businesses. that's how deeply entrenched it is. the so, as a consumer or users of those products and services, we're supposed to believe that certain -- portions of the population will never be mistreated. it's hard. that's a lot of suspension of disbelief. brian: so think about this. silicon valley located in the most liberal place in the country. their employees obviously showing where they stand therefore liberal causes, which is final. never the most powerful companies in the country. they all agree on one thing. republicans should be marginalized in case use the opportunity in my opinion on friday to actually shut them down. shut down a president of the united states to the point where one of his rivals, even though we are allies with germany angela merkel and the president never got along she said we're disturbed by you shutting down a president. so they shut -- the corporations say you work for the president, don't apply for a job, and if you get hired, we're going to
4:12 am
vilify that company. they say if you want to have your voice heard on one of these big tech platforms, we are going to deplatform you. and then whether it comes to giving to a party, republican party, we're shutting off all those donations. they are efforting right now to kiss up and support a cause they agree with. the democratic party. there is no way joe biden's party is going to reign in big tech silicon valley or any of these platforms. because they are doing their bidding. you combine that with almost every media outlet outside of this one, this is a scary time in our history. then you add in a magazine. i know you are not buying magazines forbes magazine plays a role in the financial sector. they came out and did something stunning. truth reckoning while we are holding those who lied for trump accountable. lied for trump? you mean people who are press secretaries or homeland or chief staff? if they try to get into the private sector with their
4:13 am
incredible experience and access, when they try to segue over there that's not going to work if you work for trump? let it be known, they go on to say in the business world hire any of trump's fellow fabulous above and forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. we are going to scrutinize, double-check and investigate with the same skepticism we approach a trump tweet. want to ensure the world's biggest media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation, then hire away. nice thanks for a corporate discount. nice by the corporate cut in your corporate tax rate. way to go when it comes to cutting regulations. fantastic way to enhance our oil production in our country. that's the thanks. had. steve: forbes can anything they want to what they are saying is they are threatening. if you hire anybody who worked in the trump administration, it
4:14 am
we're going to come after your company, and we are going to essentially give you a corporate sure. ainsley: 'ow. steve: make sure everything you are doing is legal. and the average company is like oh, why would i want that? i'm not going to hire anybody from the trump administration because i don't want to go through that. that is chilling. because any company that's going to hire somebody, okay, here's the resume. oh, dr. fauci is it, you worked in the trump administration? obviously they have got the fact that they had worked in the trump administration on their resume, let the businesses decide kelsey bolar had a great conversation with ainsley and said this is chilling what forbes is doing and you've got to wonder by the way whether or not steve forbes, who is the editor and chief, is he on board with what this randal ellayna. steve: chief content officer and
4:15 am
editor of forbes is he on board with this going after american businesses? hey, you cannot hire somebody from the trump administration or we're going to come right after you. kelsey bolar spoke to ainsley and says joe biden needs to do something about this. >> this is just the latest example of cancel culture and the great purge that we are seeing coming from the left and never trump republicans. the media, big tech, and corporate america are all in on this. it is a very dangerous and concerning trend. it is not going to unite the country, it is going to divide us. we need more conversation. we need more debate and we do need unity. i really hope joe biden can step up and condemn this cancel culture that has just run out of control. steve: and that would be great. because it is a time to modify on. joe biden says, so let's see if you can actually convince people to do that.
4:16 am
and to the point earlier about how you look at big tech, these monster monopolies and how much money they give to the democrats, we have been talking about that for years on this program. what is different though is ultimately what they did. thedid didthey impact the electf president of the united states. did they use their vast resources to not just put their finger on the scale but put their entire foot on the scale for joe biden? they shut down all the stories about hunter biden. they shut down a lot of things physical -- biden and result 3459ly at the end of the last election after 2016 they said you know what we blew it we should have done more to make sure that donald trump was not elected. do you know what? in four years they figured out how to do it some say, ainsley. ainsley: well, they have great products. there is nowhere else for you to go to buy a cell phone or a search engine. and then when you try to go to parler they shut it down, right? and then they are talking about
4:17 am
shutting you down if you worked in the trump administration. you can't get a job anywhere else? and if you too we will write about you in our paper. we will write about your company. brian: don't be intimidated. so disappointed joe biden's theme for the inauguration for america united while calling certain people nazis i have an idea impeach touring the day and confirm my nominees during the night that will solve the pandemic, won't it? steve: word to the bookers on our program can we try to peculiar for tomorrow steve forbes? brian: let's do it. steve: editor and chief of forbes magazine we want to ask him about this headline right here. forbes warns companies not to hire trump officials. we know he's watching. steve, just give us a call. we would like you on tomorrow. brian: we will talk about the flat tax, too. jillian mele, i don't have to ask you to come on. it's your job to be here. jillian: it's my job and i'm here. brian: reporting for duty. jillian: begin with extreme weather the rare winter storm hit the southern states as parts

4:25 am
calling out to save the constitution from big tech and he joins us right now had. vivek, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you have seen what amazon and google have done to parler. what would you do in response if you were running parler. >> yeah, so i would sue in federal court now. this is the argument i make in print in today's "wall street journal" actually. that all of these tech giants need to actually be treated in court like state actors. subject to the first amendment. and it's a novel argument. but the reason is that congress effectively co-opted these silicon valley titans through the back door to do what congress couldn't do directly under the constitution. go through section 230 which is the carrot as well as through direct democratic congressional threats which was actually the stick. and so conventional wisdom says you can't sue private companies through the first amendment me and my former law professor at yale argue you can and this is actually founded in pretty
4:26 am
strong legal precedence. that's the argument we make today and that's the argument i encourage parler to take to court to get the result they need to get to. steve: ultimately what led to this is the violence and looting and rioting on capitol hill wednesday. that was a spark plug for all of this. okay. given what you just said, how much of their decision is political? >> so we have -- i heard the show before, i think we have spent a lot of time talking about donald trump. we have been talking about last week. and needless to say what happened last week was a disgrace. but just for a minute, forget about donald trump and forget about conservatives. take a look at what happened to ranronpaul. obgyn. somebody who is one of the greatest advocates for social freedoms in this country found his facebook account locked. he couldn't adjust his page with no prior reason. no prior notice and they said he
4:27 am

amazon, apple, google, boom. they killed them. >> thieves guys change the rules on the fly. there is no process. there is no due process. they are not constrained by the constitution. now, i want to be clear here. let me tell you about my own personal experience on parler. i joined parler earlier this year. actually write a lot about woke capitalism. and ardent opponent of new trend of woke capitalism. thing fecious talked about earlier on the show. i posted on capitalism on parler the first response i got to be clear about it i won't be as explicit i got somebody telling me shut the f. up you f'ing foreigner. funny thing i post the same things on twitter and the thing i hear is burn in hell you republican. the interesting thick here is not -- we are not claiming the internet isn't a dark place and there isn't a lot of people who really operate and speak in ways that aren't becoming of what it means to be a civil american. but what we are seeing right now is a crack down uniformly on one
4:29 am
side of that with the political targeting bent to it. that's what makes for the first amendment violation that we ought to be most worried about. steve: great conversation. vivek ramaswamy will got a book come out called woke inc. come out in the summer, look for that sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: all right. meanwhile, switching gears, new york governor andrew cuomo forced to answer for the vaccine doses being thrown out because of his strict guidelines. our own janice dean, who lost both of her inbe law her in-lawe pandemic asked why wasn't he more prepared? next. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently,

4:34 am
knows their people, knows the regions to be able to distribute that vaccine. new york was the first hit. why weren't they ready? be. janice: it started with this bizarre -- not bizarre but there was a hierarchy in place by mr. cuomo designating who was taking priority on this hierarchy. and it was the mayor actually last week saying governor, why can't my 75-year-old father get the vaccine? this rollout is very slow. at this point it's going to take five years to get all 8 million new yorkers vaccinated. and so the governor was shamed into it and on friday said okay, well, you know what? the elderly and also some first responders will be able to get the vaccine on monday. and then he said it was all going to be a process of getting on a website and getting an appointment and that's what put everything into a tail spin. brian: let's take a look at these numbers.
4:35 am
the vaccine distribution in new york state they got 1410325. 1.4 million. i should say. they distributed about half, 5' 9,000. i mean, that's inexcusable. first he said i'm not going to accept it if it comes from the trump administration. and then when he finally gets it. he is not ready to give it out. what does it say about him that this idiot mayor sounds like the voice of reason who is begging him for some freedom to distribute this vaccine? janice: you know, i have covered this governor for 10 months now. and the one thing that i can tell you he is more concerned about what he looks like as a governor. brain brian yup. janice: he is doing four state of the state addresses this week. i have think those should be used to address reporters. talk about the website. why there are so much failures. he had a book. he won an emmy. he had a covid poster going around celebrating himself. do you know what, governor? if you didn't pay attention in

the spring when you put covid positive patients into nursing homes, you need to pay attention now because our seniors, the ones that are still living, need to be kept safe, get them to the tom of the list and, brian, just some of the headlines from many so of the local newspapers here in new york, county leaders are saying the website and the rollout is chaos, bedlam, zero answers, a million questions. it's like trying to get tickets to the super bowl when you never had a chance. brian: janice, just add this. when you open up a vial, when you jab the vial and put the needle in, you have 10 doses. if you don't have 10 people willing to take it, they -- these nurses find themselves running around the hospital going -- not who needs it, not who wants it, but who is eligible according to the criteria laid out by the governor because they are so afraid of retribution to get it. rather than give it to someone who is not eligible yet, they throw it out. unbelievable that's the time of peril and the retribution that
4:37 am
sense of retribution this governor has laid out there. you are not afraid of them. i appreciate it. one of the few in new york who is not. janice, thanks so much. janice: thanks, brian. brian: all right. we reached out to the governor's office. we have not received a statement yet. let me see, no, he still has not given me one. the house set to vote on yet another impeachment of president trump with just days left in his term. of what the heck is the point? do voters really want that? lawrence jones is here. every veteran family deserves

again. let the judicial system do its job. we're a country a rule of law. that's the bedrock of who we are. let that take its place. let the investigations go on. let the evidence come forth and then we will go forward from there. there is no rush to do this impeachment now. we can too it later if they think it's necessary. ainsley: let's bring in lawrence jones fox news analyst. good morning, lawrence. >> good morning, family. ainsley: so the inauguration is next wednesday. and the theme is "america united" that's biden's theme. do you think this is going to further divide the country? what's your message when it comes to impeachment. >> i don't think it's going to be helpful. the reason i say that i spent the entire campaign trail talking with voters but i spent a lot of time with trump supporters. this weekend i was in florida in trump country talking with trump voters. a lot of them are upset. a lot of them are upset by the actions of what took place at the capitol. they tonight feel like it was
4:43 am
american. they feel like it they are being ground in with these bad actors. and they are also furious with the president's tone as well. you have these people already reflecting. they understand what happened on wednesday is bad. there is a full assault right now going on on capturing the people that decided that they were going to go attack our democracy, go after and try to hang pence. all these people are being gone after. and so there is this moment of reflection why go along with this impeachment? you know, the whole notion that, you know, they want to wait afterwards? well, maybe the president is not big -- that much of a threat then if you guys are going to wait until afterwards to impeach him. so, again, it is okay to condemn the president's tone and what he did that day and what happened and happened on the capitol. but if you want to unite the country, i think joe biden would be more suited to look at the grievances of these people and try to find a way policy-wise to
4:44 am
talk with the republicans to get some stuff done in the first 100 days. steve: there's something you just said that is very interesting. you said that the people who are trump support supporters who tao had nothing to do with what they saw last wednesday feel bad they are being ground in with these people who went out and did the looting at the capitol building, right? >> they were upset. it's embarrassing for them. steve: they had nothing to do with this though. >> they are americans first. remember, there was always this notion from many on the left that this is who trump voters were to begin with. they were barbaric, animals that when they didn't get what they wanted this is what they were going to do. so to see that highlighted wednesday, they feel that. they are impacted by that. and they are disgusted with the generalization of this. before we move on, do you

remember last summer when the riot were happening and i was a critical voice of not only the riot but i said that what the grievances were on the ground about making sure that the police and the state do what they're supposed to do, i agreed with you about i disagreed with the riots and then a lot of people divided they were going to lump black lives matter with the people that were burning things down and the people on the ground. maybe we're a little bit more alike than we give ourself credit for. there are going to be bad actors in every movement. but the grievances remain true. so, i think we ought to find a way in this country not to generalize american citizens and decide look, let's talk about the grievances but when there are bad acts you have got to condemn those. brian: right. i always thought there would be a strong voice leading black lives matter to come forward but we haven't seen that where you could say the strong voice on the maga movement is obviously the president and some other people around him. but those people that went in there that are his supporters

5:14 am
standard. brian: parlor, by the way would welcome any speech, if more conservatives go there that is not a mandate or their charter and i find this unbelievable this is the action they took, elon musk, a lot of people will be superunhappy as the arbiter of free-speech and that is the case because apple has. steve: what parlor needs to his construct its own servers, maybe build their own infrastructure, the cyberinfrastructure of other companies, if they owned it all from the basement they wouldn't

issues here, to understand that. brian: when you look at the reaction in washington last wednesday, remember how steamed big tech was but donald trump won. we thought we did everything we could to help hillary clinton fast-forward, figuring out how to make sure how joe biden got the positive feedback from their people and donald trump was a bad guy online. >> when barack obama won his second term, this incredible digital game on facebook and just amazing as both feet and everybody writing great stories how they leveraged the internet. when donald trump won it became they are using the internet in some sort of nefarious way and the russians are involved and you can't say it is in a
5:25 am
legitimate election now when nancy pelosi has tweets saying trump's election was illegitimate, hillary clinton said he is an illegitimate president and beyond that we are at a place where we have to decide, a wide spectrum of voices in the country, 350 million people be heard, big tech has said the answer is no and these problems are too big for big tech to deal, either in the government's outsourcing its responsibility, not the government during the coming in silencing people but if someone makes a violent tweet on twitter that's for the to this we have to think out in terms of service they work. you can't make threats of violence, post copyrighted material or pornography, that the policy we have, 20 years ago facebook and twitter we didn't know what we were doing and we are the product.
5:26 am
we need to revisit this and the time is short but the political assessment is lined up with big tech and -- ainsley: everyone's hands are tied. there is nothing it seems anything can do. later today donald trump expected to give an update on plans to speed up vaccine distribution. what can we expect? a preview from surgeon general doctor jerome adams who will be getting his second dose of the vaccine on "fox and friends" next. pay off my student loan debt. they were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. i got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. ♪ express yourself ♪

5:30 am
brian: latest is a the trump administration will name new guidelines to speed up the vaccine rollout. this is modernand ounces there vaccine should provide immunity for year. nearly 9 million people including our next guest have already received their first dose. doctor jerome adams, our surgeon general, will get his second dozing just moments. good morning to you. >> good to be here.
5:31 am
brian: i understand one of the things the administration is going to talk about later today is about how they are no longer going to hold back the second shot so they can give more shots as the supply lasts into people's arms. >> we are in a race against this virus and quite frankly we are behind but we are accelerating. the good news is 700,000 people are getting vaccinated every day. we will hit 1 million people and we need to continue to pick up the pace and part of picking up the pace, a big announcement the president will make later today, we are number one not going to hold back the second dose anymore because we have 11 reserves the concert pushing doses out. we are going to have clear guidance from the cdc through governors they should vaccinate people 65 and above and anyone below 64 who have a chronic medical condition going from phase i a to phase 1 b and beyond. we found the advisory community on a mutation practice and guidelines which are just
5:32 am
guidelines are causing governors in states to slow a little bit. think about boarding a plane. if you were boarding a plane according to priority groups we don't hold the next group waiting for someone to come back from the bathroom to get on, we don't stop them getting on, we move on to the next group and that is will be a doing today. brian: i heard a story from a doctor if you're in the new york city area, who told me they've got the doses to immunize everybody in a nursing home but they got a deal with one of the big drugstore companies and the drugstore company doesn't want to do it because they will get paid for giving the shot but they don't have the personnel to do it and the nursing home has said we've got people, can give the shot and the big drugstore company said we are going to wait until we can do it so they can get paid.
5:33 am
that is not right. >> one of the things i want to say clearly, we want to find out about the stories and follow up. every nursing home has the opportunity to decide if they want to vaccinate themselves or use cvs and walgreens. we have been working with cvs and walgreens and are proud of the partnership. it is difficult to vaccinate someone in a nursing home. that's not a mass vaccination scenario. it is one that takes time and we want to do it right but we are going to the next phase. we vaccinated more people than any other western nation and you will see the pace pick up. >> trying to get people immunize is personal. i know you have spoken about this and i will mention your wife who is undergoing cancer treatment. it is an awful treatment. my wife did the same thing. you can't go into the hospital to be with your wife.
5:34 am
>> exactly and i said this year viewers before. even if you don't feel at risk for covid-19 i want you to understand your actions have impacts. if you get in a car wreck on and icy road, if your wife has cancer you may not be allowed to go to the hospital to see her because of covid-19 restrictions. we need to do our part and come together as a team and make sure we are defeating this virus. we have the tools, we need to come together. brian: i would like to introduce captain joel delay. >> we received our first dose of the pfizer vaccine, nurse practitioner joel delay will administer my second shot today. >> prevaccination checklist already, and allergic reaction to medicines and vaccine. >> no allergic reaction.
5:35 am
>> let's do this. >> i hope you have a channel touch, captain. didn't hurt a bit. thanks, captain. the captain will keep an eye on me for 15 minutes to make sure i don't have any reaction to these treatments. headache and fever are not uncommon, they mean the vaccine is working. i had a sore arm after my first vaccine, thank you. brian: your immunize, congratulations. doctor jerome adams, thank you, best to your wife. >> get your vaccine as soon as you are able. brian: a lot of people would like to but are not able to. thank you. still ahead, exclusive announcement on "fox and friends". sean duffy and crystal duffy, you will hear what they have to

5:44 am
for down syndrome and this is an incredibly important conversation to have, that every life is precious regardless what situation the family is facing, the blessing that she is to this family, they are going to talk to the people of south dakota and legislators how important this bill is. jillian: what went through your mind? >> proud of governor gnome for looking at this important issue. it is a coincidence that she is a mom and this is coming out of a mom governor. at this time we are living at the time where so many people are being c the mothers and th and good leaders like governor gnome. i would say to any woman who
5:45 am
has a diagnosis and get the call to the doctor like i did, valentina has given me as much joy as any of my other little babies and she is an american and has the right to live like everybody else. jillian: what would you say if a mom gets that diagnosis and is fearful what this means for her future. what would you say? >> it is scary. we don't know what it meant or what it means but from our vantage.point, a lot of parents of children of down syndrome, it will be the greatest experience you ever have, most wonderful children. that has been our experience. this little girl is a favorite of our family. >> she has challenges and is going to need help for a long time. kids fight over when we die, who gets her. that would explain a lot how she fits into the family. jillian: hope that's a long time from now.

she is beautiful, go ahead. >> what is so important about this is stories have power and stories are inspirational. we can talk about fact that i will talk to people of south dakota how great our economy is doing, how successful our businesses are because we didn't shut down in our state and our people are happy because we let them use personal responsibility to get through the pandemic but stories like this and it is no helping them put food on their table and a roof over their heads but everything a person the opportunity to live to go after the american dream, to be part of the story of america, we are looking to inspire folks to join together when we see so much division, focusing on why we love each other and everything a person.
5:47 am
ainsley: when covid-19 hit our country you did not want to shutdown your state. you were praised for that by business owners. what is the state now and how is covid-19 affecting your state now? >> we are having a different conversation today than virtually every other state. we have more money to invest, putting more money into trust funds and reserves than we had before. our sales tax is up, we set records in tourism and outdoor spending that happened in south dakota while other states cutting spending, raising taxes or borrowing more money, that is not our story in south dakota that we are blessed because people were able to make decisions for themselves going and it is an opportunity for us to show the country south dakota is special, that our
5:48 am
people are wonderful and what we believe as conservatives worked. it creates an opportunity for everybody to thrive and at the end of the day we can use this as an opportunity to invest in the future for our kids. ainsley: you want to say something? >> we came to the governor's house and to be with the kids. the kids were amazed to go to the restaurant without a mask. that is what freedom looks like in south dakota with a great governor, you can go and have choices and it is cool to be in south dakota. ainsley: i am sure she would invite you to stay. >> we love the state. >> 9 children, family of 11 and they are all beautiful and thank you for being on with us. we thank you. god bless you all. still ahead, he is known as one of the most feared sluggers in the sport but baseball legend darryl strawberry credits his fear in god as the real game
