>> i any, the really sick dark and dangerous irony is they themselves -- other countries like acting like nationstates because that is what they are, facebook has committees the way a government would have committees studying what is true and what is false, what kind of speech is dangerous, what kind of speech isn't dangerous and that is why the amazing thing in the wake of twitter and facebook's ban of donald trump you have numerous democracies around the world who have no love lost for donald trump, angela merkel in germany, the president of mexico, french ministers who came out and said this is extremely dangerous that silicon valley's anointing itself the world media that controls it is more powerful than other democracies because they know that is coming for their democracies as well. >> greenwald was a into the strong condemnation for uganda effort blocking social media access ahead of its election, posting about the importance of freedom of expression to the democratic process.

demonstrate his inability, to discharge the most fundamental duties of his office, therefore the president must be removed from office immediately and if you are associating yourself with that is a proper execution of the president's duties you are associating with sedition and treason. >> the list of republicans willing to vote to impeach is growing, at least five republicans on a record intending to do so. the total number believe to be as many as 10-20 by day's end. most among them the number 3 gop leader liz cheney who heads the conference issued this statement saying there's never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constitution but defiant donald trump visiting the border earlier today said impeachment would only damage the country.

>> the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witchhunt in history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time. >> division among republicans very palpable. the knives are out for members like cheney. >> i call for her resignation. don't think she should be chair of the republican conference anymore. the reality is she's not representing the conference. >> reporter: another sign supporters cracking and republicans, majority leader mitch mcconnell believes donald trump committed impeachable offenses although it is unclear whether he would actually vote to impeach. mcconnell indicated even if the house votes to trigger a senate trial, until donald trump left

office, it is going to be another historic day in the capital and a very interesting time because it was hard to get into the office today was so much security in place. todd: it will be unbelievable to see what happens over the next week, stay safe. shannon: brit hume says republicans as they make their decision on impeachment today will be based on much more than a single event. take a listen. >> he retains his hardest of hard-core base, they will be with him forever i am sure but the rest of the republican party are looking at this and saying what we don't want is this guy hanging around and worst of all running for president again after that because he will pull off a segment of the republican vote. that is a political calculation they are making and they are furious with him. they believe in their bones he cost them the two special

elections in georgia which they should not have lost. they think he is bad news politically. >> one of the impeachment managers none other than eric patrice onwuka --'s wall well. properly helped placed one intern in his office. meanwhile former california senator barbara boxer the registers as a foreign agent with the chinese surveillance committee, she was expected to serve as a strategic consultant. >> fox news on, 23 people are dead and 28 injured after israeli airstrikes target iran backed fighters which a senior us intel official told the associated press the us provided the intel and said the warehouses were being used store weapons.

as much is this a first amendment issue at play in the marketplace of ideas i think

there's major antitrust concerns and with your liberal or conservative independents should terrify anyone who believes in the free flow of thought and information. >> back with a fox news what youtube blocking donald trump for posting on his official count for at least a week. >> comments we permanently removed. at the center for new american society, good to see you this morning. i guess there's not much of a surprise here in seems odd to ask could we just be scratching the surface of what is to come because so much has happened with so many different channels in the last few days but what else do you think will come? >> you nailed it. we are just scratching the surface and overall what we've seen in the past week is the so-called your is worse than the so-called disease because it is very important to keep in mind these digital platforms are fundamentally different, the

size, scale, the reach of all these platforms, they are transformative, they fundamentally shaped the public square as we know it right now and wheels more power than a government, more powerful than a nation state and they seem to inconsistently apply the terms of service which they know they do and about public pressure which is what youtube did, they started in the beginning when all this went down initially friday, we will start constricting what we call misinformation, now we are banning donald trump again so they will continue to erode public trust if they continue to go down this road. todd: hears youtube's statement on blocking donald trump comic in light of concerns about ongoing potential for violence we remove new content uploaded to donald j trump's channel for violating our policies given ongoing concerns about violence. we will be disabling comments on donald trump's channel. youtube would not identify the offending video. what does that tell you? >> we have seen it before. on this program you heard about

twitter, the ayatollah leaving chinese communist propaganda who are actually propagating genocide and celebrating it on twitter, those tweets were a very long time so inconsistent application of terms of service portends things that are worse down the line but the biggest thing we have to think about is if you are a company built on cloud services we are not just talking about content moderation, not just talking about application, we are talking restricting access to all consumers, restricting direct access to all consumers and amazon, that is the thing, amazon web services decision, when they decided to basically check parlor off, they control one third of the public cloud

infrastructure services so that you want to turn out all the lights on your company they can, small group, unelected tech executives can eliminate every technical layer you need for digital communication in the world today just by saying they want to if you volatile of policies they inconsistently apply and the only recourse of these companies have, create your own internet, not going to happen. jillian: amazon's statement is, quote, there is no legal basis in customer agreements or otherwise to compel amazon web services to host content of this nature. despite parlor's rhetoric its lawsuit is no more than a meritless claim of breach of contract. if you are parlor or the likes of parlor, those in their infancy are starting, what are you doing right now? >> you continue to fight this in court. when you have every single big tech companies and we will clampdown on these competitors i think you do have an antitrust issue at this point. it goes beyond free speech and

what private companies are doing. you are putting the culture of free-speech under threat by doing this. those smaller companies if they don't want to be strangled in their cribs by big tech monopolies they have to keep fighting. todd: we talked about not having enough law in the area of cyberspace. this is going to be one of those cases that sets cyberlaw precedent perhaps for decades or centuries to come. appreciate your time, great insight. jillian: restaurants under restrictions fight back against new york's lockdown with oranges. todd: our next guest leading the charge. ♪♪ it's my life ♪♪

todd: a syracuse restaurant planning a protest of the ongoing in the dining been sending governor cuomo a basket of oranges with names and mrs. the struggling restaurant. joining me with details, daniel mercury, owner arrive & diner and bartender stephanie, thanks for being here. how did you come up with this idea? >> a lot of people have been reaching out to governor cuomo in letters, we were made aware of mayor ben walsh who sent a letter in and when governor cuomo was addressed about that as you know we are going into a month on this second quarantine

period and for this area, feels like a struggle, feels like forever. we wanted to send something a little bigger, that would get his attention. so that is where the oranges came into play. we don't want him to forget about the restaurants, the home of the syracuse orange and it was fitting across the board. todd: you got to get vitamin c especially during a pandemic. 8000 restaurants of closed since march in new york state 120 in the syracuse area was what has the loss of indoor dining meant to your business? >> it has been pretty harsh on all of us. the first time we did it to

gather it was more divided, infections in our city at least so it is tough for my team to try to get through this but we are getting through. todd: the governor seemed to indicate he wanted to loosen restrictions coming to this epiphany, the restrictions are bad for business. do you think your orange basket or bucket got through? >> i feel that yes, somewhere, somehow's a little bit but that is only speculation. if i got my job back to the way it was before i have the opportunity to make a decent living and my brothers and sisters living as a result of this i'm okay. that is the only goal is to get my job back. todd: are you hopeful for the

future? >> absolutely. we have a bright future here. we expect this year to be an amazing year for all of us, getting through the next few weeks or months, lift a few of the restrictions to help us get by and get us through the next few months, that would be amazing for all of us but rise and shine is a big family on the east coast so i'm very hopeful. todd: does auto support this? >> we haven't seen auto yet, have we? maybe he will lose maybe i will today. todd: the mascot, she wanted me to get the auto question and but we wish you the best of luck. thank you for taking the time. hopefully to thousand 21 is

better for the restaurant business. every time i come up there i will stop on by. thanks for coming by. jillian: still ahead cia documents on ufos released, the secrets they reveal and how you can read them yourself. is china making inroads in the democratic party? more controversial ties reveal as potential fallout for the biden administration next. so, what are you waiting for? download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood.

jillian: we are back with a fox news, israel launches several airstrikes on suspected insurgents. >> the us reportedly provided intel for that attack. >> reporter: good morning. reports indicate overnight, suspected israeli airstrike in eastern syria killed 20 people.

according to the syrian observatory for human rights more than 2 dozen were injured when fighter jets targeted weapons storage facilities near the iraqi border, the observation post also hit, this area is known to have a heavier rainy and backed militant prisons, a group of strikes against suspected iranian proxies in under a month and does come amid rising tension with iran and the west. senior intelligence officials told the associated press the strikes were conducted using us intelligence, we know us secretary of state mike on pao said it is now the home base of al qaeda and the trump administration's maximum pressure campaign is working. could ask of the administration would argue iran is closer to a nuclear weapon than they were at the start of the trump administration and continue provocative action across the middle east. >> another situation to monitor. >> california congressman eric's wall will, a manager in the trial against donald trump despite his ties to a suspected

chinese spy. todd: the ties to china are revealed. >> reporter: nancy pelosi naming nine democrats to serve as impeachment managers. their job will be to argue the house's case during the senate trial and one of them is california congressman eric swallwell. >> i'm glad the speaker has the confidence in me. he must be convicted and must suffer the consequences of being removed if it can happen that quickly and never serbian office again. >> reporter: other impeachment managers include prominent trump critics like congressman raskin, ted when joaquin castro. swallwell has been a leading voice in calling for trump's removal but he has faced call to step down from the house intelligence committee over his relationship with a suspected chinese spy, cutting ties with christine fong after the fbi warned about her in 2015.

former california senator barbara boxer sparked controversy for registering as a foreign agent for a chinese surveillance company only 2-d register amid the fallout tweeting due to the intense response to my registration i have determined my continued work has become a negative distraction from my effort to preserve american jobs and make the company better therefore i have deregistered. gordon chang said it is time to get china out of our political system. >> we need to cut our ties with the regime. that is drastic but they are exploiting the openness of our political system to overthrow our government. >> reporter: news of plans to work with chinese surveillance company, president-elect biden's inauguration committee announcing it would be returning her $500 donation. todd: let's bring in the vice president james carrafanoh.

what should we be watching for as china gets ready to welcome in the democratic party, all three forms of government? >> we have some troubling signs of the biden team has been equivocal how they plan on dealing with china saying we need to work together in the chinese response to that coming in is to look very tough and aggressive. the crackdown on hong kong dissidents kicking the world health organization team that was sent to china to investigate, taking them out of the country, president xi mocking american democracy and having chinese state media say america is in decline. of china wanted to work with the us and the biden administration they would not be doing any of those things was what they are trying to do is set up a situation showing we are strong, we are growing, we are very aggressive and if the biden team comes to that they will lose -- not to look for how to get to

detente but how this just shows how weak the -- you need to come to our side. it is not a good start. jillian: with all of that being said do you see china as the biggest threat right now to the incoming administration? >> my response is america is a global power with global responsibilities. other guys can do really bad things for you. the big bad guy, it was obama's list, trump's list, china, north korea, iran, russia. a president has to keep an eye on all of them into north korea, iran and china have since aggressive signals coming out of the box and that is the challenge for the biden team. todd: mike pompeo confirming the number 2 al qaeda leader was killed in iran. take a listen.

>> reported in november he was shot to death on the streets of tehran. i can confirm for the first time his death on august 7th of last year. al qaeda has a new home base. it has islamic republic of iran. we must confront it and defeat it. todd: is this his way of creating public pressure on the biden administration to stay tough with iran. >> let's start with the basics, the notion of iran working with them, that is plausible with iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism and any group they want, syria used to do this as a tool in their back pocket to make trouble for americans and others if they want to. the fact they have al qaeda host them and allow them to do stuff that is totally plausible. empowering iran, going back to

the regime having no accountability for what they do is a dangerous idea. the biden team said we will go back to the iran deal, the problem is the deal only benefits iran and will contribute to destabilizing the region. incredibly problematic. todd: thanks for joining us. time is 6 minutes after the hour, a police officer filled with his knee on george floyd and will stand trial alone, charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. 3 other officers will be tried together in august. jillian: alex azar calls on stays to vaccinate people 65 and over, those under 65 with two medical conditions are eligible. the government to set to release a large supply of doses to

ensure vaccinated americans got their second dose. todd: hundreds of cia documents on ufos available at your fingertips thanks to a freedom of information request. you can access these documents as, what a great name, the black vault. it is operated by john greenwald, junior. to get these documents for the past two decades, to get government until on aliens. there is no way to know if that is true. you are looking at me like what do you think? are there aliens? you are trying to get me to commit on the record. jillian: i did not say a word. todd: 37 minutes after the hour. los angeles mandate students get a covid-19 vaccine before returning to the classroom. jillian: our parent panel joins us live to weigh in.

>> to need the vaccine to go back to campus. >> that is the best way to keep all on campus. jillian: los angeles public schools, and mandating right for families. california father of four reed, new york mother of 2, thank you for joining us. appreciate you being here. i will start with you. do you have concerns over the mandate and lack of information as far as children and vaccine go. >> the vaccine has not been

attested approved but it seems to me a way to keep schools close longer than necessary. >> thank you for having me on this show. it is another delay tactic by the teachers union and the vaccine is not been tested the and kids the age of 18 and under with the approval process, opening of schools and putting the priorities of the teachers union. todd: you have two children, 6 and number 4, are you afraid when you are seeing happening could come here, how does that make you feel? >> makes me nervous. my kids are up-to-date on their

vaccines. this is not been tested. to feel comfortable putting anything into our children's body, the outcome or side effects. and the kids have a vaccine going back to school. that is not working for my time. it doesn't come here. >> speaking of options, between age 9 and 16, does that leave you thinking of other options that you want to send your kids to? >> even before mandating the vaccine, other states that already open, gavin newsom doing

this and doesn't work for california. before mandating the vaccine i told my kids in private school, you are seeing that more often, putting them in private school or homeschooler moving out of state. our governor -- that is why there is a recall movement, it started in june, with 1 million signatures. todd: it has until march 17th for the amount of signatures needed. what do you think would be a better alternative? a lot of people are wondering why aren't you vaccinating teachers, get them vaccinated and get schools reopen and a lot of parents sending their kids and their schools. >> a great idea to get teachers vaccinated, kids will be last on the list according to the cdc.

they are the least at risk, they will be the last to get there vaccine. getting the vaccine ahead of anybody else. we should be focusing our efforts. >> it is like this in cities and states across the country but there has been so much inconsistency with in school, out of school, parents not sure on a weekly basis how to keep up with all the changes. it has been going on for ten months. >> my son struggled every day, he has been in school 7 or 8 times since september, and different schedules they were putting out, he hasn't been in school at all in the last ten months.

he is struggling socially and academically and it is upsetting. jillian: we are out of time, appreciate all of you joining us, thank you very much. >> reporter: the ultimate surprise. >> a feeling from god that i was going back to school, a surprise to my family. the same college as his daughter. doing spreadsheets from work when in reality he was studying for a finance class. graduated with a 319 from grand canyon university, good for you, an awesome way to do it.

this is something they've been doing to us for years. if you disagree, if they don't like you they tried to cancel you. jillian: congresswoman stefano says it is a badge of honor after her alma mater remove her from the advisory committee. >> college campuses should be a venue where you challenge one another, foster critical thinking, it is becoming harder and harder, shows utter disdain for people who don't come from the literal bubble, with parents in academia or far left politics. jillian: the school made the decision after stephan it back the electoral college challenge, joints "fox and friends" later this morning. ice is blaming sanctuary policy pray mother's murder in front of her own daughter. >> reporter: not the site you want in this country and hard to

see what california did and deported ten times, his 30 your, history, trespassing, burglary, vandalism, and thomistic violence. a restraining order and ice found the detainer against him. and send them back to el salvador. lapd let him go. allowing them to shoot louise in front of her daughter, he fled to texas where on a police chase on saturday florez killed himself. according to weiss like so many other tragedies this case illustrates the threat posed by egregious and often recidivists criminal offenders. another example how california sanctuary policies lead to violence while protecting

illegal aliens who have no authority to be in the country. this follows the case of fernando garcia's 15 year criminal history which includes battery of a spouse, assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and assault on an officer. there were detainers in june, july and august all of which california ignored. in november, killed two in san jose. lapd did not tell us why they released florez, donald trump tried and suspects holy to do that. joe biden who once opposed sanctuary policies, and supports them. and race 15,$000. todd: youtube the latest platform to block content from the president even if silicon valley is silencing republican voices, silencing republican voices, our next guest says the party can turn it into a winning issue for the midterms.

how should republicans play this? >> this is an opportunity. as awful as this is, big tech is not only silencing donald trump but silencing conservatives and anything they do not like. this is a golden opportunity. one of the founding principles is freedom of speech and the fact that conservatives being silenced and mainstream americans are seeing this firsthand. and they are coming for conservatives that they will come for you next. big tech wants to silence you if you don't get in line and agree with them. this was a good opportunity to stick it for big tech and democrats are lockstep with big tech on this issue. democrats wants to use big tech to silence you. todd: i look at this and think

midwest and 7 democrats are most vulnerable in 2020 to house races. folks in that area regardless what party you are from, you don't like coastal elites, that is a strategy. >> that is essentially it. big tech billionaires wouldn't know midwestern state hit them in the head. the values of the midwest and much of the country don't align up with those limousine liberals, and and and will embrace what big tech is doing. and it is horrific to be silenced if you are conservative, presents an opportunity in the future. todd: the last question, 10

seconds, is big tech censorship what reunites the republican party? >> i haven't seen any should this big in some time. a massive issue to bring together freedom of speech. todd: we appreciate your time, thanks so much. jillian: doctor marty mc harry, and byron, live next hour. sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. -what? you mean-- -mm-hm. just like that. wow. so sudden. um...we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we?
