4:00 pm
>> bret: all right. i'm not sure that headline is coming, but we will see. thanks, panel, a lot of fun. thank you for inviting us into your home. that does it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still and still unafraid. the brand-new "fox news primetime" hosted by brian kilmeade tonight starts right now. >> brian: i was a little surprised that fred barnes ended your show sarcastically. i don't know if that will be the headline tomorrow but a little bit of a surprise. that might be the headline. thank you so much and i will talk to you soon. meanwhile tonight in prime time a big crackdown on free speech and out this talk of conservative voices on cable tv. but don't worry, it is all in the name of unity and democrats aren't even empower yet as thousands of migrants appear to be putting immigration policy to the test. you know it is bad when biden says do me a favor and please go back. they are not listening. i don't think english was the
4:01 pm
language they were looking for, though just my opinion. the tale of two americans, one open, when closed. we compare this, 6% despite the pandemic. the mostly abandoned streets of new york city. we have an interview, what he's doing to help out the businesses is staggering and good. we will talk about that shortly. ♪ ♪ i just changed cameras. don't try that at home on your iphone. a good evening, everybody. i am brian kilmeade and less than 48 hours until president-elect joe biden steps into power. and consolidating power in washington. an unprecedented and frankly disturbing crackdown on conservative speech across all mediums although they say equally fair and balanced. first with facebook and then twitter, the cable company be next? this is not a cooped up conspiracy that i came up with this morning and agree with
4:02 pm
which is mostly empty, which is another story. former facebook executive using cnn as a platform for increasing censorship. >> we have to turn down the human ability of these influencers to reach audiences. it is up to facebook and youtube in particular to think about whether they want to be cable network for this information. these companies have freedom of speech, but i'm not sure we need verizon, at&t, comcast and such to be bringing them into tens of millions of homes. >> brian: that is a true story. that is not a cut from the an onion or the daily show. the same justification to shut down parler. forget freedom of speech but go after the provider. label it as dangerous, then eliminated. here is actually as tim cook who will make us feel better, i hope. >> we looked at this incitement to violence that was on their and we don't consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an intersection. >> brian: it makes it all
4:03 pm
better when he goes like this. but that is the reason they took parler off the app store, why are platforms like twitter let off the hook for allowing trending topics like "hang mike pence" to flourish? it is obvious what is going on former tech executives. on team biden already and easy to call for unity when you have wiped out all of this epting thoughts from conversation. the next guest steve, dan bongino, one of the elders and hosted "the dan bongino podcast" one of the most successful in the country. what mr. cook forgot to say, he warned parler. yeah, like an hour before he took them off and everybody else joined in. that interview disturbed me more than any other with chris wallace, what about you? >> yeah, i mean, listen he basically tried to wipe us out. remember apple initiated this whole thing. they were the first ones to reach out to us on friday.
4:04 pm
what was it, two weeks ago and say listen, you guys have 24 hours to clean this up. by the way, brian, his definition of free speech is fascinating. you summed it up nicely by pointing out twitter, but he was pointing out a couple of posts on parler. but he ignores to assassinate donald trump trend or hashtag on twitter. what about all the antifa and blm groups on twitter that organized riots and would burn down american cities on twitter? listen, tim cook is not speaking about principal. because principles were, hey, parler, we took you down because we don't allow any incitement to violence anywhere on any platform and we will take down twitter too. yeah, that is not what he did. he let antifa, blm, kill donald trump trend on twitter. not even a word about it. and parler happens to attract some conservatives come he goes
4:05 pm
after parler and starts basicaly white it's the company to be wiped off the pace of the earth. >> brian: and i hear you guys are coming back. before i hopped on a were i was able to get on their website. are you back? are you on your way? >> we have a landing page up now and fully functional hopefully soon. it has been an nightmare, amazon shut us down too. brian, i can't say this enough, behind the scenes it is 1,000 times worse. everyone from payment processors, apple started a disaster for us. phone verification companies, lawyers, everyone. and just to be clear because i know there were some liberals out there who magically found free speech, remember, this is the crowd who magically found free speech and loves the constitution. these are all private companies. are they really? let me give you an analogy if you are a liberal. when aoc and other democrats out there go on twitter and tweet about aws wiping parler from the face of the earth and then
4:06 pm
parler gets wiped off the face of the earth by aws, is that a private company or acting on behalf of government actors? what about this? what if they put out a law tomorrow that said listen if you are a conservative and don't believe in abortion we will immunize you from lawsuits. what if the government passed a law, wait, wait, wait, you can't do that. you can't do that. but when it comes to parler in section 230 and using private companies to act on behalf of government actors, then they don't care appear than they are private companies all of a sudden. >> brian: dan they don't have to play this out. do you believe it stops with the democratic party? the tech companies are in power and we believe what they believe anyway? do you think this will come out at them? >> listen to him i think this will end very poorly for all these companies. i think you will see a litany of state legislation and by the way, i don't know if it breaks
4:07 pm
up these monopolies that refuse to do business. i don't know what it's going to be, but i can tell you in 2022 -- i don't want to go so far out of 2024 but 2022 the big issues will be election integrity and the big tech monopoly. and i don't think they will like what is coming their way. because legislation, of course, speaking about legislation. because people are done with this. they are finished with this peer they know what's going on. it is all phony and fake. we don't like incitement to violence. either do we on parler. we have terms of service that prevent it. can you read? go to the terms of service. then they send us an apple email stating "you are responsible for everything on your site." we are responsible for our site, but we are not responsible for everything. you are asking us to be a publisher which would violate the law, section 230.
4:08 pm
it is our site. we are responsible for keeping it decent. we are not responsible for every word. we are not "the new york times." if brian kilmeade wants to put a post up at me doesn't send it to me one of the owners, dan, can you back this? it is a platform. >> brian: but it is good to know one of the owners, to be honest. i got a hook on the inside. i'm not really an insider. but i've got to bring you to another area of expertise, law enforcement. listen to steven cohen, the guy who eats fried chicken on the house floor. >> e oh, yeah. >> the guard is 97% i believe male and only 20% white males voted for biden. there are probably not more than 25% of the people protecting who are voted for biden and the other 75% are in the class that would be the large client of folks who might want to do something. so it does concern me.
4:09 pm
>> brian: so they are betting everybody in the national guard because most voted for president trump. they think it might turn to the trump side. i guess blow their security apparatus and go after joe biden at the inaugural. is that a fair worry? >> brian, i spend over a decade of my life in the secret service and four years in the nypd. news flash from a lot of folks happen to be conservative. but you know how many sleepless nights my kids and i spent on the road in indonesia, and barack obama, by the way never shared anything in common politically? do you know how many other guys in the secret service, the fbi, treasury agents who probably helped in the security claim of being conservative who never once in their lifetime enter their mind other than to keep him and his family safe because that is what we do in a constitutional republic? >> brian: so you would take a vote for president obama even though you didn't vote for him. do you believe this horrible
4:10 pm
incident from two weeks ago last wednesday they are using as an excuse to say trump supporters cannot be trusted? >> brian come of course. these are genuinely awful human beings. i mean, what happened with the tech tyrants and the abuse of this horror show on january 6th, a bipartisan condemned disaster that nobody is like -- no one. everybody is condemning this. there are no principles at stake. we all agree it was terrible. everybody get that? everyone, hands down. matt. there is no debate! so why are you turning it into a political debate? you are not debating me. that was wrong at the capitol, you are 100% correct, what are you debating? the answer is you are not. you are making cheap politics out of it to a text trump supporters and people like me unlike steve cohen who actually put my caboose on the line to protect barack obama and his family, and i did it proudly. and you know what come i would do it again because that's what
4:11 pm
we do in the secret service. it is not a third world republic and condemning national guard because of the color of their skin like they can't do their job, they raise their hand and swore to protect the constitution so don't insult them. the politicians, that is what they do. that is why they are politicians and don't have a real job. >> brian: dan is fired up. that is why people double-click on your podcast. you have a lot to say. >> you text me and said come on. are you kidding? >> brian: thanks, dan bongino, keep fighting. in the meantime, let's bring in who is always fighting glenn greenwald. the republican party, that is the thing about big tech. is this just a republican party? >> no, it's not a republican problem but one of the most important things to remember, so up and we are incentivized to look at everything went republican versus democrat, left versus right and we are each
4:12 pm
other's enemies when in reality there is this class that has more in common with each other. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer on one hand, mitch mcconnell and people like paul brian mccarthy on the other and when we look at everything through that prism, this is not only about censoring conservative speech peer that happens to be what is being done right now because of what happened at the capitol because president trump had this movement behind him. but there's been all kinds of censorship by big tap to make tech on the left but what they hate it hated our dissidents tog class ideology and whoever threatens to consensus that they are trying to create and part of that video from cnn included in a discussion, look, there were people on youtube with bigger audiences and daytime cnn shows who could absolutely right and what the real problem is peer they lost the ability to control the discourse, to have the stranglehold of information. and they want anybody who
4:13 pm
distance from them, anybody who questions the orthodoxy be silent so they can read can retain gnomic regain control peer that is what this is about. >> brian: 96-97 we were different because we took a perspective that not to go in lockstep with all the other networks and drove them nuts and people by the year 2,000 had us number one and we stayed there. i'm watching what jake tapper said about his network. tell me if you can agree. >> there are channels in which lies are told, and there are channels in which facts are told. and people who want lies, they don't come here peer they go to a different channel. >> brian: writes, like the russian disinformation campaign and the stories that they ran with for two and a half, three years. they don't come there for lies. >> that is what is so amazing. they think, they really do believe that only they are responsible enough to disseminate information to the public. and everybody else is essentially also stupid or too
4:14 pm
dishonest to have the ability to disseminate information. that is the same network that spent four years, maybe five years telling americans that moscow had infiltrated control of the united states government because of sexually compromising videos they were using over president trump. completely deranged, unhinged conspiracy theory for which there was no evidence of robert mueller's investigation. and then we are the monopolist of truth and objectivity and anybody who questions anything that we are saying not only is wrong but doesn't deserve a platform and should be kicked off the internet, shouldn't be allowed on cable. it is all about power and this hatred they have that they believe they are the only ones who ought to be heard and ought to have a platform. before turning them out, that is what is so angering them. that is where they want control again. >> brian: they are not going to get it. we know this, every time you see carl bernstein on they are is
4:15 pm
worse than watergate. that's all i know for sure. thank you so much come appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: from brazil. up next, team biden begging thousands of migrants to turn around. how is that going? it doesn't usually work, but let's see if it works for him. one of the men on the front lines will join us next. ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) (loud music & noises) ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) comfort in the extreme. the lincoln family of luxury suvs.
4:18 pm
4:19 pm
♪ ♪ >> brian: five days of chaotic scene unfolding across central america. i wish i could say rare. thousands of central american migrants try to make their way across the border from about 9,000. they appeared determined to put joe biden's immigration policy to the test. but believe it or not, team biden is not happy. they told nbc, migrants need to understand they will not be able
4:20 pm
to come into the united states immediately... there is help on the way but now was not the time to make the journey. joining us now to weigh in, customs and border's patrol, mark morgan for a couple more days who has served under barack obama border patrol cheap. so, mark, to tell them to turn around and wait? >> brian, what a joke a little too little a little too late. the biden administration campaign has been very, very clear they will and do everything that president trump did and basically open the borders. look, the migrants, the cartels and the organization, brian, they listen. so we anticipated this and predicted exactly what has happened. thousands and thousands of individuals and the caravan now have already broke the honduran/guatemalan border on the way to the united states. we knew this was going to
4:21 pm
happen. >> brian: we knew it was going to happen and it happen. just like in the beginning of your administration. then you have this thing pretty stunning, cooperation from mexico. the socialist leader seem to hit it off with you in the trump administration. you go down and meet with these triangle companies gnomic countries and cooperation and remain in mexico policy and they put marines on the border. why if you are joe biden with all on your plate would you mess with this? >> it doesn't make any sense. he is already backtracking. he said a few weeks ago, he told us he would do one day one with immigration buddies already backtracking, brian, his words not mine, his words if he undid what president trump provided us which is working, he would have a couple million people on the border. that, i agree with incoming president. he is absolutely right. brian, you are right, unprecedented cooperation with the government of mexico and tribal as well with the regional
4:22 pm
crisis it is is working. but right now, the perception that the borders will be opened driving these caravans. what this country will do at some point, wait a minute, we are doing everything we are supposed to do and asked of us but your policies, the united states that are driving and facilitating and fueling this illegal migration. >> brian: can i add this, if i get off a plane and have to get test two or three times a week it is okay to have thousands across the border without being test in the middle of a pandemic? on wednesday, a new immigration plan, joe biden will have an eight year pathway for temporary status of those here illegally. you will get a green card, background check and eight years he will probably be a citizen. they will set up refugee admission processing centers, key spots along the southern border. going to work? >> absolutely not. that is not an immigration strategy, brian.
4:23 pm
that is an open border strategy. on top of that, he will expand dhaka and family support for sanctuary city. he will stop legal deportation for hundred days and driver's license and free health care so those here illegally. that is not immigration strategy but an open border strategy. who the heck wouldn't come under those conditions? i guarantee you, he's backing up what he will do day one. but he outlined what his policies will be. he is kicking up the immigration crisis down the road. that is all he is doing. >> brian: it will be interesting, front and center in any cooperation moving forward. mark morgan, my opinion i've seen you work on the border and you've done an incredible job for two administrations, barack obama as well as president donald j. trump. up next what is the future of the republican party? no better people to talk to except karl rove and katie pavlik and i'm not just saying that because they can hear me. ♪ ♪

>> brian: i salute joe biden for the inaugural theme he has called "american united" as opposed to obama mantra, elections have consequences. not a great way to start in my estimation. but if joe needs it prove it, not for republicans to get on the train but meeting them halfway using compromise. make it hard for mitch mcconnell to say no. case in point, immigration. the republican donald j. trump with 450 miles of wall set aside money to build 350, 400 miles of wall. and all over the next four years, you can finish the wall along with the roads and have a secure border. you will wipe out immigration reform and republicans call a secure border.
4:29 pm
what do you get? well, give up citizenship for daca and few republicans wanted to throw it out anyway. perhaps a citizenship for the 30 million here illegally a pathway but in exchange for that get rid of sanctuary city. is that fair? let's debated. in the rose garden, to swallow and live with. president biden, you want to know, $1 trillion stimulus bill. right now you don't have the 60 votes. do you want them? start by pledging not to cut defense. you want 454 states, you don't get a dollar unless they open up responsibly almost like how about that some of that is called making deals. you want to lower the temperature in our nation? find the other side appeared here to respond, karl rove, kate pavlik, fox news contributor and wonderful people, take my word for it, katie, am i dreaming? can this happen? >> well, brian, if you were a u.s. senator maybe you could
4:30 pm
bring both sides to the table and have this conversation with them. maybe you could get somewhere. but the truth is, we are in a very divided position when it comes to these issues in the country where people stand. i think that joe biden will have a hard time getting this agenda given the senate is split 50/50. they are working on the rules and we see the new majority leader chuck schumer, working with mitch mcconnell to give republicans a number of seats and democrats on these committees while they run the scheduling. but when it comes to legislation and what we have seen in the past especially on immigration, the democrats have this very far left flank of their party pushing not only in the senate but the health side that doesn't believe in borders at all. they have compared border patrol and i.c.e. agents to, for example. and in a sense of things that could be negotiated for, but when you have people demanding that a border wall, stops drugs
4:31 pm
and human trafficking should be torn down, not really sure you can get anywhere when it comes to negotiating on that topic. >> brian: i am sure you know, but got your hands dirty on this very issue. and you know border security was key and they wouldn't agree to it. trump has jammed it down their throat. if he just vanishes it, can't we start talking? >> border security is more than just a wall. >> brian: i know. >> but immigration reform and i've been through this twice. you need to think about it as a three leg and story. you have to resolve the situation for the people who are here illegally, a certain pathway. you have to do something about guest workers because you have the egg states, people say we need to have this issue resolved and then you have tech people who say we need visas to bring smart people to america and work in our countries. then you have to have border security which is simply not just a wall. i'm not -- the wall -- let's
4:32 pm
remember bill clinton started under bush and continuing under barack obama. let's be honest about that but border security is broader than that. and joe biden seems to appear to be doing is to say, i'm going to ignore door number two, what do we do about guest workers and so forth? and i will certainly ignore door number three. what do we do to reform the system like get rid of sanctuary city's, get rid of the lottery, diminished family unification so your cousin can't come here just because you got here. i will ignore both of those and put the emphasis come i will send you a bill like this and you and a deed what i send you. it doesn't work that way. the same thing to be said about so-called covid bill. $440 billion for states and local governments and that's going to be blasted to the big cities because they are ran by democrats. and to rub salt in their wounds, tens of billions of dollars for transit systems so that we
4:33 pm
really let the people in rural america that we will take money out of there pockets to put it in the hands of people running the big transit systems in the big cities. this is not unity. this is not unity. >> brian: you both have brought me down and one more opportunity to bring me up. lindsey graham in a place to joe biden to be a leader when it relates to impeachment, watch. usually up at the sound bite and rehearsal. but in it, lindsey graham asked chuck schumer and ask nancy pelosi to step down when it comes to impeachment, hold off the vote. you made your point. let's not have this trial. we have too much to do, katie, will they? >> i don't know if they will do that. joe biden has made it clear he wants to get on with his agenda. he's tried to give them this offer of working in the morning to confirm his nominee for his cabinet and another important position while working on impeachment in the afternoon.
4:34 pm
i wouldn't be surprised if they hold onto it and came back to it. the articles have not been sent yet, but when it comes to pick defectiveness against president trump come i would not be surprised if they end up doing this a couple of months down the road. >> brian: karl will they take an opportunity to stand down on this? i don't know about that but richard nixon forced from office, gerald ford pardoned it and was filed. and people realized what he had kept the company from having to go through. nancy pelosi hates donald trump and rather than a censure motion to pass with large number of votes in both houses, she is going down this path. it will not be pretty for america. >> brian: i hope joe biden will step up and say i would rather make a difference then make a point. thanks, guys, honored that you are here tonight, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> brian: don't go away. single-handedly saving businesses around this country, shut down by the pandemic.

inauguration. as if anyone who didn't vote for biden is a threat to the country. joining us jeremy hunt, army veteran and law student. a bunch of different areas but i will tap into your service part of your background, jeremy. did you worry about servicing people who voted differently with you and should we be worried about the national guard who didn't vote for joe biden? >> no, look, when i served in the army come i had the privilege for serving for five years. i served for people with all different types of political views. what pointed us together was a common creed, at the oath that we took to the constitution. look, here is the thing. there are some insurrectionist's some crazy people who plan on doing crazy things at the inauguration. look, they have no business wearing the uniform for the united states military. go home, get out, that is completely unacceptable.

and if you are a united states congressman and think it is accessible stomach acceptable to sow seeds of hate, you too have no business being in this country. if you think all conservatives are somehow an insider threat, we don't need that in our country. due to should go home. >> brian: so i will take the other side of it. they say, the woman who served in the air force was a fan or member of q and on who got shot sadly was an air force veteran. one of the men who broke into the capitol had a military home and on and why do you say to the people who are worried about the military? >> i will just say personally, it is just so embarrassing that there are any military, law enforcement officers at all involved in what happened there, and i have talked to other people too. it is completely embarrassing. but what i saw as a response, people all around the military
4:42 pm
and this has no room in the united states armed forces. that is what i am proud to serve. >> brian: and when you saw an officer get hit by a trump supporter, what speech did they watch donald trump make that was anti-law enforcement? anything but praise. that is why i find initial thing to figure out about that event. you wrote a great thing on foxnews.com and martin luther king and what it meant growing up today. and at a time we are taking down so many statues, why is it important not to look at martin luther king jr. and make sure we respect what he stood for? >> looked, it was a complete honor to write that column. dr. king's legacy he waged war on hate. look, i grew up in the south. i remember one day come i was going to school in my car was completely covered in car paint with a word, the n-word written
4:43 pm
all over it. fast forward a number of years, even now as i speak out of my views, my family has been attacked. i've been called uncle tom and i've been cold words i cannot ethan say on-air. so i know what it's like to be angry. i know what it's like to want retribution, to kind of get back at some of these people who are spreading such aid. but dr. king taught us there is a different way. we should have righteous anger in healthy ways and let's see how we can weed out the hatred in this country and get back to what has made our country so incredible. >> brian: absolutely, jeremy well-written and well put, back to the books, back to school. thank you. >> appreciate it. >> brian: still to come, the republican of miami how his city will fight the pandemic has crippled so many businesses. why? because of opening responsibly. that story is next. don't move.

it is a real jerk reaction. >> alive and doing it because they have a chance. and the businesses can stay open. due to the governor and the republican, mayor, and francis suarez to save the city bike beings slammed by the pandemic, 2020, that is, $25 million deficit. by adapting to the changes, it only took a $2 million hit in group 4% to 6% overall. explain that to me and god forbid, we set down inside of a bar. speak with the rules in florida are? >> when you sit down, you can take off your mask. when you are having lunch, you can take off your mask. there is indoor dining. we do have a curtain. i'm not a huge fan of that, but there are bars that are open as well.

and jams are open. and if you are outdoors, you don't have to wear a mask. if he endorsed them you have to distance yourself and wear masks. >> so it is responsibly going through the worst pandemic in generations? >> it is, and we are very thankful despite, if you will, we have about half of the amount of people in hospitals and we are managing it as good as we can. >> your revenue is compared to last year? our revenue is on target. >> we didn't have a major deficit. >> you didn't have a major deficit? we have $150 million in reserves, the best credit rating in our history. we are just focused on helping people responsibly provide for the families. >> because you have stayed open in this horrible time, what is the results for florida? >> the result is people are flocking here. the fact that they are paying excess taxes and other places in the cost-of-living is
4:51 pm
