the window, no no. they're going to act a fool. they'll blame this on us. no aliens any time soon. >> dana: yeah, all right. tyrus, good to see you and your fish. thanks for joining us, everybody. i'm dana perino. i'll see you on "the five." bill hemmer, see you soon, too. >> bill: indeed. maybe we'll have a chat about that tomorrow. what do you say? is that a deal? >> dana: bitcoin or ufos? >> bill: both. i thought you got the hint. >> dana: the new show monday. >> bill: indeed. all details tomorrow. it's forthcoming. dana, see you at 5:00. >> dana: see you soon. bye. >> bill: good afternoon, everybody. i'm bill hemmer. a prominent legal battle. the ceo of parler says his social media platform may never get back online after amazon and google pulled the plug. parler and amazon face off in court as we speak today.

meanwhile, twitter's ceo defending his company's decision to banned president trump and said it could set a dangerous precedent. snap chat the latest to block the president claiming it's in the interest of public safety. so is big tech keeping the public safe or violenting first amendment rights coast to coast? dan springer reports on the hearing today. mike emanuel on the president's final days. in a moment, robert ray will join me on impeachment. hello, dan. >> hey, bill. this hearing lasted 30 minutes. now we wait for the ruling. basically the judge has to decide whether or not to issue a temporary restraining order that would force amazon to put parler back on its servers. amazon took parler down a few days ago after the riot at the capitol last week. in court, documents said the company had been giving parler warnings for months that it was allowing content on the platform

that promoted violence, rape, murder and torture and that in violation of their contract. in today's hearing, amazon's attorney argued that the events of january 6 changed the way we think about the world. took what was merely hypothetical and made it chillingly real. amazon had every right after that happened with the surge in content, violent content on parler to take that into content. parler has grown rapidly in recent months. now has 15 million users, many coming over from twitter after president trump's account was blocked. the company's lawyer argued today there's no evidence that parler had anything to do with the criminal behavior at the capitol. david grossbeck said today millions of law-abiding americans have had amazon silenced by their web services. the ceo says they're caving to political pressure from the left.

>> in september, amazon was offering us investment at any times by joining their investment programs. so i know this wasn't amazon saying that they had a longstanding disagreement with us. >> the federal judge on the case is barbara rothstein. she was appointed back in 1980 by jimmy carter. she's considered a liberal activist judge but that could help parler in this case, bill. back in 1990, she ruled against congress' law that made it illegal to burn the american flag. she said that that act was protected free speech. we'll see how she rules today. >> bill: dan, thanks for that. if there's news we'll get back to you. attention to the senate after the house voted to impeach president trump for the historic second time. mike emanuel a lot to cover. what are you hearing today? good afternoon. >> good afternoon. with the senate trial expected to start after joe biden takes office, that legal battle over

impeachment could slow confirmation of the biden team and leading republicans say it would delay healing. >> the end of the day, you know, you saw a lot of members that just said this is enough. let's focus on turning the page. let's focus on moving on and that's going to happen next week on the 20th when joe biden is sworn in as president. you know, this is only going to make matters worse in a country that is deeply divided right now. >> president-elect biden saying last night, i hope the senate leadership will find a way to deal with their constitutional responsibilities on impeachment and working on the other urgent business of this nation. it's not clear if the senate parliamentiarn will allow that. some are suggesting putting the trial on the back burner. >> if we can't, then maybe we delay the trial for a while so we can actually get president biden's nominees and cabinet up and running and so we can get a

covid relief package out the door immediately. >> there's the issue of president trump no longer being in office. several republicans say there's a constitutional problem there. making the case for impeachment is removing people from office and not punishing private citizens. >> to the american people, what good comes to impeaching president trump out of office? it will divide the country and incite violence. >> at a time when president biden is eager to deliver results for the american people in his first 100 days. >> bill: thanks, mike. tom bevin from real clear politics. how are you? watching from afar today. what do you make of the possibility in the senate when you need about 17 republicans to convict? >> yeah, it's never going to happen. you'll have your sort of usual suspects and lisa murkowski, mitt romney, a couple others.

to get to the number that you'd need to remove him from office, you'd have to have a massive shift in terms of the number of senators that would vote for this. to the point that senator graham just made, he's out of office. i don't think republicans would go along with that. seemed like the point is moot. >> bill: so here's james comey on the possibility of a joe biden pardon of donald trump. >> donald trump, he's not a genius but he might figure out if he accepts a pardon, it's an admission of guilt, the united states supreme court has said. i don't if he would accept a pardon. as part of healing the country and getting us to a place to focus on things that are going to matter the next four years, i think joe biden has to at least think about that. >> bill: tom, what do you think of that? >> it's an interesting argument. joe biden would be better off to come out and say, tell the senate, when democrats take control of the senate, look, we

don't move forward with removal of the president. do not move forward with the trial, the impeachment trial. we need to lower the temperature, conduct business, new business, my administration, my agenda and get things moving and put the past behind us. that would be the smarter move politically i think. in terms of getting -- offering trump a pardon, you know, that might be a tough sell with members of his political base and rank and file democrats. >> bill: if you believe this goes nowhere in the senate, what does chuck schumer do? what is the off rampfor him? >> the off ramp is for him to let it do. i don't know the senate has to do anything with the articles of impeachment as they're put forward. they don't have to conduct the senate trial. again, joe biden's already asking and trying to figure out, can we do something to get my nominees confirmed, right? so i can start governing and also democrats are itching to get the first 100 days underway.

to get their agenda moving through both chambers of congress. >> bill: you think they will let this die? democrats have blood in the water. you have hardcore progressives in the senate. you think they're going to give this a pass? >> i think they should and they might. look, bill, they did what they wanted to do, which was impeach the president. it was never going anywhere to begin with. it's democrats saying as much as they said the other day, trump is a threat to the nation, he can't be in office a day longer, this was always about symbolism, always for history. >> bill: what did you think about the president leaving tuesday? how does he communicate after he leaves the white house? we've been told through the campaign app and through e-mail. what do you think about that? >> so i think president trump based on everything that has happened since january 6,

including his video that came out last night, you know, we're going to move to a peaceful transfer of power and going to leave the white house and may leave a little early. i think trump is -- he will still have ways to communicate. he has to reassess. you might see him go a way a little while and bide his time. he's a full force in the republican party. there's no question about that. at least for the time being, his best course of action may be to just lay low and then reemerge as perhaps in a few months as the mid-terms kick into gear. >> bill: thanks, tom. real clear politics. thank you. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: in a moment, national guard troops in washington fortifying the capitol. geraldo and leon who says it looks like an invasion. and the first time a world health organization allowed into

wuhan, china. at the same time, 2020 million chinese have been put in the lockdown. we'll talk to the doctor about what that is about. the legal implications and possible precedent the impeachment vote. robert ray on the road forward coming up next.

>> andrew yang announcing he's running for mayor of new york city.

he moved out of the city during the pandemic. he wants to give $2,000 a year to those living in extreme poverty. he also says he wants to make to-go cocktails a permanent thing and legalize marijuana. that would be a party. critics meanwhile speaking out against what they're calling a snap impeachment. warning it could set a dangerous precedent. robert, welcome back. we were on the air yesterday when the big vote went down on the house side. tom bevin was just making the case that he believes democrats in the senate will let this thing go to the wayside. you see that happening? >> it's hard to see that happening at the moment given how much energy has been expended here to push this forward. maybe they'll feel differently by wednesday of next week.

right now it seems on a course based upon, you know, the only person that really matters i think wants -- if the house sends the impeachment article over will be chuck schumer. he's commented come hell or high water, there will be a trial and a judgment. i would hope, as i said and i said yesterday, i don't think that is in the country's best interest, but you know, it's difficult to see how -- now that they backed themselves into this corner anyway to come out of it. the calculation changes once the new president takes office. you know, you don't know what you don't know and you don't know what the new president will do going forward, whether he will send any signals to the senate or whether he exercises his own pardon power over the former president. you know, i don't know. >> bill: okay. you said you believe this is about preventing donald trump for running for political office again in the future. that could be the case if you get a conviction.

however, you need 17 republican senators to get there, robert. >> right. so it would require bipartisan support. i think it would require mitch mcconnell to be on board with that course. i don't think that is in the country's best interest. i think 75 million americans supported donald trump and his efforts toward re-election. i don't think it's the job of the senate to preempt that decision. i think it's up to american voters to decide first, donald trump is the nominee and whether or not he's elected to office for a second presidential term. i don't think that is the job of the united states senate. i understand how people may feel differently about that and i think that would be a dangerous precedent to set. >> you were one of the prosecutors so to speak in the -- you were one of those presented the case a year ago this month, in fact. the fact that there's no

evidence, there's no witnesses, there was nothing that was presented in the house side, i have to think that makes the job in the senate more difficult. is that true or not, do you believe? >> i don't think much about what happens in the house, once they commit to a course of returning an article of impeachment makes a difference. i understand republicans say the president was denied due process. that may be true in a political sense. ultimately the process the president is afforded is a full and fair trial in the united states senate. look at how this is going to up fold. you'll have a full and fair trial maybe but you'll have it during the first 100 days or so of a new administration. i don't think that that is really what the president-elect would like to see happen. if he was candid about what he would prefer in terms of beginning a new administration. i think -- put it this way. every president deserves a clean

slate to start from. this gets in the way of that. i think it's time for the country to move on one way or another. i'm not quite sure how that is accomplished or what that looks like. i definitely know that is in the country's best interest. >> bill: thanks, robert. we'll talk soon. thank you. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: the ceo of twitter saying their ban on the president's accounts can set a dangerous precedent. why is he defending that decision? good question. what we're looking about lock down in china in the biggest covid spike that they have seen in that country in months coming up. eir blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

riotses on capitol hill. jack dorsey says there's nothing to celebrate though. susan li has more. >> yeah, that's right. jack dorsey admitting that banning president trump will have consequences for the company. the trump ban was not a decision to celebrate. acknowledging having to ban an account has ramifications. although there's clear and obvious exceptions, a ban is a failure of ours to promote healthy conversations. that's part of a long 13-tweet thread last night including that it was ultimately the right decision to ban president trump for social safety. forcing private companies to make these types of decisions sets a dangerous precedent. dorsey said the internet should not be controlled by a single entity or business. and snap chat banning president trump also. 250 million people visit snap

chat a day. twitter has less but they're behind facebook, which has over two billion daily active users. social media giants are companies that have banned, suspected or terminated trump-linked accounts. wall street has sold down twitter and facebook shares that have lost $60 billion in market value. investors like a lot of other people are concerned that banning the u.s. president does set dangerous precedents, which might open a door to future controversy, less engagement, less advertising dollars, which ultimately means that they will make less money. >> bill: thanks, susan li. fox business. we'll see where it ends up. a team of scientists from the world health organization arriving in wuhan, china today investigating the origins of covid-19 a full one-year later. the virus has killed more than 1.9 million people around the world. greg palkot reporting from london with the latest. greg? >> we can confirm that who team

disease. it is first reported death from covid from china since last summer with a relatively large surge in cases. a region not far from the chinese capitol is now in lock down, about 20 million people there. finally, this probe not getting off to a fantastic start. two of the scientists in the team were held back in singapore on their way in. they tested positive for anti-bodies. they got it a couple months before that, not allowed into china right now. back to you. >> bill: thanks, greg. more capitol rioters getting arrested. what we're learning about a man seen carrying a confederate flag through the building on that day. plus, the national guard fortifying d.c. ahead of the inauguration. why were they not called in a week ago? we'll get into the security question and the lack of information and answers with geraldo and leo coming up next.

>> bill: up to 20,000 national guard troops expected in washington d.c. troops are getting the same type of prep before deploying to baghdad or kabul. looks like an invasion. what is happen, jennifer? >> good afternoon, bill. the scene behind me, you can see the thousands of u.s. national guard troops arriving as we speak on capitol hill. we've seen them pouring in to the capitol with m-4 rifles, battle gear. a different scenes that a week ago when you had 340 national guard that were approved for the capitol, unarmed, to serve as traffic cops. that is because mayor bowser, the mayor of d.c. and the capitol hill police did not request the national guard. now capitol hill police are unnerved after the riots and the

breach of the capitol. so the build-up till now, you'll see u.s. national guard armed across the capitol. this feels very much like what you would find in the green zone of baghdad. there's layers of security, very few civilians walking on capitol hill right now. there's fences everywhere. we've been told national security officials overseeing the inauguration prep have spoken with state governors about the threats that they face as the capitol becomes a hard-target for groups that want to disrupt the inauguration. we learned the entire d.c. mall will be closed to the public during the inauguration. security officials tell me they're closing basement parking lots in d.c. near the capitol for vehicle-borne ieds and truck bombs. capitol hill police are so on

the edge after last week's attack that they have requested up to 20,000 troops. more than twice that was mobilized for the obama administration. one website that the feds are monitoring has 1.7 million followers and it's calling for upwards of 100,000 armed protesters to disrupt the inauguration. there's been requested by the capitol hill police for 50 caliber machine guns. that's not been signed off by the pentagon. security officials are weighing whether to ban trucks coming into the capitol. one senior officials said i don't underestimate any of these groups now. many have members who have had military training, there were law enforcement and retired military that did breach the capitol. the pentagon is concerned about how many veterans were seen inside the capitol. the mayor is urging visitors to

stay home. >> we have asked americans not to come to the washington d.c. event but to participate virtually. we know that is the right choice and the best way to keep everyone safe. >> so the scene now in front of the capitol is something that you'd more likely see at fort campbell, not something you're used to seeing in washington d.c. >> bill: thanks, jennifer griffin. more rioters from last week's attack on the the hill getting arrested an charged. a man seeing carrying a confederate flag turned himself in today. david spunt has more. >> authorities say his name is kevin seyfried. he and his son turned themselves in delaware today. the fbi put out a wanted poster for him. it has several images of him in the capitol, parading around

with that confederate flag last week. authorities have been searching for him for a week. according to the source, his son hunter facing very similar charges. as i speak to you, bill, social media accounts are going dark. twitter purging them following the riot in and out side the capitol. twitter suspending accounts that violate the terms. many of them deal with people at the riot or associated with that riot. with sites like twitter and facebook cleaning up the space, parler with an uncertain future, the banning of the posts according to law enforcement experts, criminals can go underground. we can't track them as much. >> it's a catch 22. the word is communication, open communication. these groups feel relaxed with each other. to be able to open up or to each

other. in doing so, law enforcement can develop certain tools that give them a great deal of intelligent information. >> yesterday clete keller was charged with entering the capitol. he's 6'6" wearing a u.s.a. jacket. today in court, a man named cleveland meredith who has threatened to kill nancy pelosi on live television, he never made it to the capitol but still charged for some of the threats. also a retired firefighter was picked up near philadelphia. authorities say he threw a fire distinguisher into the crowd hitting several police officers. we're told this is not the fire extinguisher that hit brian sicknick. he died from his injury. authorities looking for his killer or killers. if you have any information, cap the fbi.

1-800-call-fbi. >> and we want to bring in geraldo rivera and leo here. there's a lot and curiosity. where is the fbi to answer more questions about last week? where is the capitol police and the major to tell us what they were told by officials? why the consistent lack of curiosity on this? geraldo? >> i think democrats are very curious, bill. they're questioning the unusually high volume of civilian visits to the capitol building on the 5th, on the tuesday, the day before the riots. they're alleging as shocking as it sounds that this may have been an inside job, that certain republican congressmen and women may have tipped off the rioters or given them a reconnaissance.

>> bill: if you read the reporting on that, the democratic lawmakers will not identify who is with which republican lawmaker. they haven't given the information. let's just -- here's what the fib has said, okay? two questions, gentlemen. was the information shared with capitol police? all was shared is the quote. did he get it? was it an e-mail, a text message? did you open it? did capitol security know of fbi information? yeah, we shared it within 40 minutes electronically. leo, i don't know if it was received. i don't know if there's follow up questions? all of this is yesterday to be answered. aren't you curious about this? >> let me answer your question, yes, i'm curious. right now, bill, we're not getting anything out of the fbi because it's an ongoing investigation. forget it. when you teal with the fbi and dealing with an investigation, forget it. they won't tell us nothing

because they don't want the public to know what they know. regarding geraldo, no more congressional investigations. the democrats will make it a dog show as far as trying to accuse anyone involving republicans. i don't want to be used as a political manipulation. as far as your question, bill, the fbi, the u.s. attorney's office will tell us nothing right now because of the investigation. >> free speech violations are being alleged. if you think it's serious, act on it. go ahead, geraldo. >> this story of the democrats accusing certain republican congress people of being complicit is a huge story. one name i have to mention, lauren bogart, the newly-elected republican from rifle, colorado. she owns the shooter's grill. she wanted to bring her 9 millimeter glock into the

capitol. she's accused of live tweeting during the seizure of the capitol building. the speaker has been removed from the chamber. why was she leave tweeting that in this is something that the fbi is looking at closely. there's other members whose names i won't mention because i'm feeling a resistance to being too speculative here. that's -- >> bill: hang on, leo. are there people on the record that are pointing the finger and naming names? they have her tweet. she was live tweeting. >> why is she live tweeting the location of the speaker of the house? >> bill: there's allegations that there was reconnaissance the day before. we have to run that down. leo? >> i've been a lawyer 30 years. i've done criminal law. in and of itself, those

statements are protected. there's not a nexus, bill and geraldo between the words, the spoken words and the conduct. again, the republicans have asked the democrats what about -- what did president trump say? what have any republican congress american say to motivate, to incite? we have free speech here. >> let me answer the question. >> okay. >> mo brooks of alabama said today is the day that we begin taking down names and kicking asses. that's mo brooks at the rally. you're wondering how much of this language is inciteful? >> come on, geraldo. taking down names and kicking some butt? that is -- that's called a justification to break into the capitol building? that's words and -- two separate issues, geraldo. you know that. come on. i'll tell you this right now. i would submit to any lawyer,

that you cannot prosecute donald trump or anybody in a criminal court of law -- >> louis gohmert of texas says that trumpers should consider a revolution. if they can do it in egypt, think of what we can do here. >> bill: my sense is different. the fbi said they notified everybody. did they take any action? >> we can't know that. >> bill: where is the fbi director? >> it's an impossible answer right now. no police department -- >> bill: leo, there's an inauguration next wednesday. >> yes. >> bill: you have 20,000 national guard troops in washington d.c. we just saw the pictures from jennifer griffin. you think they're getting ready for an invasion. if it's that serious now, what were they thinking a week ago? >> i'll tell you right now,

bill, what you see out there in washington is a deterrent. what happened last week when you have a mayor saying i don't want national guard troops with guns. that's the politics of what happened last week. what you see now is a deterrent and sort of an aftermath of the fbi making sure this doesn't happen again. that's why they're blasting the names hoff the people that have been arrested. this a deterrent now. we're at that stage. >> i agree with leo. >> thank you. >> i agree with him and the deterrence. i also agree with him predicting a wall smaller crowd will show up. i'm also predicting of this intense law enforcement effort, that there will be very few acts of violence either in d.c. or around the country. that's my personal point of view. i also think that this investigation of congress itself will convulse the congress of the united states and will

consume the early months of the biden administration, bill. >> bill: thank you, geraldo and leo. see you another time very soon. okay? thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: scientists say they found two new strains of covid in the u.s. and both likely originated here. so as the virus continues to mutate, what does that mean for the vaccine? dr. marc siegel on that. big story from china is back on lockdown more than 20 million cases flair up again coming up. here's exciting news for veteran homeowners who need cash. refiplus from newday usa. it lets you refinance at today's record low rates plus get cash. with mortgage rates low and home values high refiplus can help you lower your rate plus turn your home equity into an average of $50,000. money for security today. z off off

we're suddenly scared by it but it's in the news. it's a variant. three variants, three mutations on the virus in ohio. here's the good news. absolutely covered by the vaccine. absolutely. also, these strains are looking for a survival advantage. meaning there may be more transmissable. more contagious. they don't make you sicker though. none of that. >> bill: three mutations not seen before. that doesn't concern you? >> no, because you know what the vaccine does, bill? it looks at multiple targets on the spike protein. many targets. it's so far, it's all of these strains covered by the vaccine. we're looking at the one out of south africa. the united kingdom strain has 23 mutations on it was studied by pfizer and the vaccine covers it beautifully. this is what viruses do. they keep changing like the combination to the vault to

you cut off travel, keep people at home and the numbers don't go up from 109 to 200,000 -- >> bill: they did that in january a year ago. the world health organization went into wuhan for the first time is today. why has it taken a year, doc? >> very disappointing. the world health organization was working closely with china saying it was a regional problem. we were trying to get cdc boots on the ground from over here. that never happened. what is increasingly coming to light, where did this virus come from? did it come from a bat cave or a wet market? as we said before, there's a wuhan virology lab. bill, this was not bio engineered this virus. tomorrow scientists have looked at it. doesn't have any genetic alterations but could it have

escaped from a lab? it's possible. this is the information that we need more of. bat cav, wet market, what was the intermediate creature. >> bill: still that government kept the world health organization out of china for a year. not cool. marc siegel, thanks for your time today. >> thank you. >> in a moment here, disneyland has been closed to visitor since march. now it's opening up for a different reason yet again. we'll tell you more coming up.
