hank aaron born in mobile, alabama played for the milwaukee braves and atlanta braves pursued as an african-american baseball player one of the most elusive records in baseball. it was babe ruth's home run record of 715. hank aaron finished at 755. today we remember him at #86. thanks, hank. we have to run. have a good weekend. bye. >> harris: democrats are pushing a domestic terrorism bill after the capitol insurrection which critics say is screaming government overreach. i'm harris faulkner and you are in the "the faulkner focus". the bill would create in offices and multiple federal agencies dedicated to countering threats from white nationalist and neo-nazi groups. lawmakers opposed to the measure say it does not define

exactly what makes someone a domestic terrorist. 135 civil rights organizations are speaking out against this bill. and tucker carlson sounded the alarm last night. >> no matter how much of it occurs we're still americans. we were born here and we have to right to say whatever we believe, period. you cannot abridge that right. we have the right not to be spied on by our own government for having political opinions that people in power disagree with. period. and anyone who tries to take those rights away is a far greater threat to this country than anyone who showed up on the capitol on january 6th. period. >> harris: in just a moment i will speak with republican senator ron johnson who just blocked this bill when the house passed it last fall. and today the focus is also on why thousands of national guard troops were asked to leave the u.s. capitol and sleep in parking garages. it was 38 degrees.

they were on concrete slabs last night. former deputy national security advisor k.t. mcfarland is standing by and we'll get into that. let's begin with mark meredith live in washington and we want to go deeper on this domestic terrorism proposal, mark, what's in it. >> bill: good morning. you mentioned in the wake of the capitol attacks some lawmakers want to expand law enforcement's authority to deal with domestic terrorism but there is opposition as as to how the authority could be used. it was a measure to create new offices at homeland security, justice department and f.b.i. and prosecute cases of domestic terrorism. brad schneider who said america must be vigilant to combat those radicalized to violence and domestic terrorism prevention act gives our government the tools to thwart their illegal activity. 135 civil rights groups fear

creating a new domestic terrorism charge could backfire and end up hurting minority communities instead of rooting out white supremacists. the new authority could expand racial profiling or surveil and investigate communities of color and political opponents all in the name of national security. now president biden talked about all of this in his inaugural address and sees domestic terrorism as a growing threat. hinting his administration plans to act on this issue going forward. >> president biden: now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. >> senate majority whip dick durbin wants a hearing on domestic terrorism threats and democrats are split over the legislation which could leave the biden administration in a tough spot how best to move forward. a lot of different opinions. harris.

>> harris: thank you very much. critics as i mentioned at the top of the hour of this domestic terror bill are pointing to this recent comment from former c.i.a. director john brennan and the way he grouped libertarians in with extremists. watch this. >> looking forward that the members of the biden team who have been nominated and appointed to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas where they germinate in different parts of the country and gain strength and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, thor tarrance, fascists, big ots and even libertarians.

>> harris: ron johnson blocked this and wrote letters to the house and senate sergeants at arms this morning seeking information about the security planning prior to what happened on january 6th. as you can see, senator ron johnson of the great state of wisconsin joins me now. i want to give you the complete floor on this and tell me first of all what this is exactly, why you blocked it the first time and why you are blocking it now. >> well, good morning, harris. i think what we're witnessing, the cancel culture purge being kicked into overdrive here. when you have former c.i.a. director starting to target laser-like libertarians. that's a pretty wide net they're casting. listen, i condemn violence in all its form. i don't care where it comes from or what the ideology or what side of the aisle. violence is wrong. i condemn white supremacists and antifa and other people that turn a peaceful protest into riots where people are killed and property is

destroyed. i condemn it all. the fact of the matter is we have laws on the books to deal with people that commit those kind of illegal and heinous acts. we don't need new laws. we need to enforce the ones we have. we need to enforce them equally. so i am concerned in a movement right now to basically paint a broad brush and accuse 74 million americans basically that voted for president trump and label them as insurgents. these are citizens that love this nation. i don't know anybody that voted for president trump personally that would condone any of this type of activity. we condemn it. my problem harris. i don't know how many times somebody like myself has to con tem white supremacists. we don't hear democrats talking about antifa and peaceful protestors that riot and take other people's lives and destroying property. where is the equal treatment

under the law? one of the things that upsets conservatives. >> harris: senator johnson, it's easy for americans to agree on what really terrorism is because we've experienced it. it is easy for us to agree on what hate looks like because we know it. we've experienced it. unfortunately the whole world does. but the unintended circumstances of legislation like this also has the ire of civil rights groups. how is it that you are on both sides of this issue? what is broken about this bill? what is dangerous about this bill? >> it would expand governmental authority. we've seen the abuse of prosecutorial authority. let's face it, the corrupt investigation by the f.b.i. against the trump administration. we've seen prosecutorial abuse. part of the reasons we have a bill of rights.

the fourth and fifth amendment, the reason we have these protections is to guard against government overreach about government taking away our personal liberties and freedoms. and when you start having government enact more laws that infringe upon our rights that's dangerous no matter who you are. it may feel good if you are on one side of the political spectrum that won the election and use those governmental weapons against your opposition. it will feel not so good when the other side wins elections and that same power could be used against you. we need to tread very carefully. again, we have laws on the books. the vast majority of americans do not support these groups no matter what side of the political spectrum they're on. we need to investigate them and bring them to justice and need to prosecute them. what happened at the capitol is completely unacceptable. i wish the f.b.i. were as aggressive against antifa and

the other people that -- for example, in kenosha, the dozens of businesses burned. people died in those riots as well. where is the aggressive approach to enforcing the law when it comes to the summer riots? >> harris: we saw a couple of nights ago the violence among anarchists in this country, seattle, denver, portland, oregon again. quickly because i want to put a fine point on this and focus in on this. civil rights groups were fighting against something like this back in the day when they were looking for equality because i don't know what offends people about libertarianism or anything else like that, but if you start to target people on what they say and what they think, that's not america anymore. >> no. it says a lot when you have civil libertarian groups from across the political spectrum opposed to this bill. let's just -- you talked about seattle and portland. i know you reported that on fox.

where is the outrage on the rest of the mainstream media about that. i have been arguing that the bias in the media poses a greater danger to our democracy. they had a greater effect and impact on election and interfered more than anything russia or any other foreign entity could have ever hoped to achieve and the mainstream media will never admit their role in widening the divide and exacerbating the problem. that's an enormous problem we face in this nation unequal and biased media and social media that has chosen sides, that represents a real danger to our democratic republic as well. >> harris: when you talk about it making its way to capitol hill through legislation. you'll be part of that fight against this. i want to get this. it happened a few minutes ago. democrats will move ahead with their second impeachment of former president trump. in the senate. senate majority leader chuck

schumer said this a short time ago. let's watch and i'll get your reaction. >> i've spoken to speaker pelosi who informed me that the articles will be delivered to the senate on monday. >> harris: that means the trial would begin on monday. senator johnson, walk us through what's about to happen. >> actions speak louder than words. i appreciated president biden's unifying words, most of them, at the inaugural address. but now you take a look at what is actually happening. if he was serious about unifying and healing this nation he would have told nancy pelosi sit on those articles of impeachment and never send them over. in terms of what majority leader schumer will be talking about now, holding a speedy trial and trying to bifurcate senate confirmation of senate security posts and impeachment trial he can't have it both

ways. he has to choose between vindictiveness or national security. i hope he makes the right choice. >> harris: wow. we say it's 2021. this part of it these two things make it feel more like 2020. we'll see what happens. >> very unfortunate. >> harris: from wisconsin and today from the capitol senator johnson. thank you for getting things started on "the faulkner focus". >> have a good day. >> harris: outrage from both sides of the political aisle over pictures that shows crowds of national guard troops taking break time inside a parking garage instead of inside the u.s. capitol. look at how crowded they are. we are in a pandemic right now. concrete floor, cold, 38 degrees outside. the troops are now back inside the capitol complex. however, several lawmakers are promising to investigate what happened here. some governors are now ordering the troops to return home to their states.

>> they are soldiers, not nancy pelosi's servants. this comes on the back end of them trying to investigate the backgrounds of our guardsmen. florida, we did not let them go into the political beliefs. very inappropriate and disrespectful for people who are clearly patriots. a half cocked mission at this point. the appropriate thing is to bring them home. >> harris: former deputy national security advisor under president trump and author of the book revolution, trump, washington and we the people. we the people last night were outraged at what we saw with our national guard coming from all over the country to protect the u.s. capitol. why did that happen? >> you know, the irony of all this is where were these guys, the f.b.i., capitol police and washington, d.c. police, where were they before january 6th? why did they not see it coming? why did they not anticipate it? why did they not have the capitol building in a position

where those rioters and those anarchists as you call them couldn't get in? now we're fast forwarding and now we're going to -- now that the horse is out of the barn we'll close the door. they bring in national guardsmen from all over the country and then they have them as a photo op. there they were. washington looked like an armed camp. when they were done with the photo op and no national crisis they had no use for them. they slept on concrete floors. men and women who came from all over the country to help the nation to protect the nation's capitol on inauguration day. when they were no longer necessary they were cast aside. >> harris: we're getting reports that -- i want to look down here now -- there were dozens of people, perhaps more than that, k.t. some of the details of this are sad. who were waiting to use facilities because there were not enough of them for all of

the guard who were there. i mean, national guard spokesperson says that throughout all of this, capitol police asked them to move but the acting chief is denying that claim saying quote i want to assure everybody that with the exception of specific times on inauguration day itself while the swearing in ceremonies were underway the united states capitol police did not instruct the national guard to vacate the capitol building facilities. your reaction. >> again, this is just -- i think it's part of a bigger plan, which is that if you convince the american people through the democrat-controlled media we have insurrections and problems and we have to investigate everybody and investigate who is in the national guard, what are their political opinions, we have to look at every corporation and make sure there is nothing there, what it sounds like is they're creating a problem so that they can then jump forward with a solution, which is

freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, hum, i think we'll have to think twice about that in the biden administration. >> harris: k.t. mcfarland, thank you very much for joining me on "the faulkner focus" on this friday. hours after signing an order mandating the swearing on all federal property we watched it as a nation. president biden on federal property not wearing a mask. ahead how the white house is answering claims of hypocrisy. it started in the news conference yesterday with a brand-new white house press secretary jen psaki. we'll get into it. also the investigation into the attack on u.s. capitol hill continues. republicans reacting to suggestions by democrats that they gave possible rioters reconnaissance tours ahead of all of what we saw. >> i'm here because of the

american dream and i didn't come here to smear people and make up lies, but the democrats don't have a problem with that. here's huge news for veteran homeowners who need cash. refiplus from newday usa. record low mortgage rates have fallen again, while home values just keep climbing. refiplus lets you refinance at record low rates plus get an average of $50,000 for retirement tomorrow and for peace of mind today. refiplus. it's huge news. it's only for veterans. and it's only from newday usa. my psoriatic arthritis pain? dmpb#thqhqg< i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out.

>> harris: the senate has just voted to confirm former general lloyd austin to be the president's new secretary of defense. he will be the first african-american man to lead the pentagon in this way. the final vote in the senate was 93-2. previously mitch mcconnell senator had promised this was what he would want to see happen if he was voting for it. previously approved was a waiver for austin who retired from the army in 2016 allowing him to serve in this role

before the standard seven-year waiting period expired. austin is now the second member of biden's cabinet to be confirmed. a warning to the democrats suggesting some republican lawmakers may have given reconnaissance tours to potential capitol hill rioters ahead of the attack. the former senate sergeant-at-arms is calling any such claim quote, fully loaded charge. if members don't have fully loaded evidence. that follows comments like this from speaker pelosi. >> if people did aid and abet there will be more than just comments from colleagues here, there will be prosecution if they aided and abetted an insurrection which people died. >> harris: i counted to ifs there. if does not equal evidence.

chad pergram live on capitol hill for us. good to see you. >> that's why there are six investigations now ongoing into the riot on capitol hill on the th of january. the big question is were any republican members of congress who led reconnaissance tours for the rioters. kevin mccarthy says he has no evidence that any of his members were involved. >> let's get and have all the facts before we accuse anybody of anything. let's all base it upon the facts and knowledge that we need to know. >> drew willson is the former senate sergeant-at-arms. he says the capitol is lined with closed circuit cameras. if someone was up to no good, authorities would know. >> finding people if public areas of the capitol is not difficult. it is actually not a great place to come and commit a crime. they are going to find you. >> republican members of the

house of representatives are upset because they've installed mag any tomorrow tears at the entrances to the house chamber. andi harris from the eastern shore of maryland tried to bring a gun into the chamber last night. it was set off and had to go back to his office. drop off his firearm and vote in the house of representatives. the house is scheduled to vote in early february to fine members if they try to by pass security. >> harris: chad pergram with the news today. a major university's reading list has critics saying it is more about indoctrinating students than educating them. and there is this. >> you guys are conservative. we're allowed to investigate you guys. it's pathetic. this country is dead as a door nail. it is the leftist america that they want to turn into a marxist super state. >> outrage from some conservatives after a top house democrat called for an investigation into the social

media platform parler. that social media app is the one that amazon forced offline after the u.s. capitol riots. governor mike huckabee is on deck to weigh in. stay with us. hi, this is margaret your dell technologies advisor to listen, is to hear more than what's being said... and offer the answers that make someone feel truly heard. i understand, let's get started call a dell technologies advisor today.

now the movie critics are calling, i understand, let's get started "a towering piece of moviemaking"... is on demand. she needs new memories. and tom hanks is magnificent. johanna!

needles. essential for pine trees, but maybe not for people with certain inflammatory conditions. because there are options. like an “unjection™”. xeljanz. the first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to severe ulcerative colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines

and serious allergic reactions have happened. needles. fine for some things. but for you, there's a pill that may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. an “unjection™”.

>> harris: democratic chair of the house oversight committee is calling on the f.b.i. to look at parler's potential role in the capitol attack and use as a channel for foreign influence. congresswoman carol maloney calls parler a potential facilitator of the violence. parler, which is a popular platform with conservatives, says it welcomes this investigation. gop senator josh hawley with his take. >> what many on the left want is control. and they don't want unity. we hear a lot of talk about

unity. sadly they don't want unity, they want control. they want you to have the same opinions, voice the same opinions, toe the party line. if you don't they're willing to use every power at their disposal to shut you down. >> harris: former arkansas governor mike huckabee is a fox news contributor. i say quite the communicator on social media. he can make you laugh and educate you at the same time across all platforms. you are familiar with parler. what is offending people about conservatives getting together on a platform like that? >> they don't want any other voices except their own. they truly want an echo chamber. i love america because we're a place where people can speak freely and disagree and argue and yet shake hands and be friends. they don't want that. they don't want friends with us. they want us to disappear, go away, not even be able to go to a restaurant, shop in stores, fill up our cars with gas or get a job. that's tragic because that's about as unamerican as i can think. it is more like we would see in

communist china or old soviet russia. what the congresswoman wants to do is fine, investigate parler. let's make sure we also investigate facebook, twitter, youtube and all the ways in which they let people like the ayatollah speak freely but don't let a sitting elected president speak freely. let's have that discussion. that's what america ought to be doing, turning the lights on, opening up the drapes and letting us all see in. >> harris: it would be fascinating to see if that's the next step. i didn't hear that from her. perhaps we call and leave a message for her. when did we get so fragile? when did we get so cowardly and paranoid and weak that we can't take discussion with people who don't always agree with us? >> it happens when people have weak arguments. they don't want to be challenged. if a person is really confident in their convictions, they

welcome the opportunity to defend those convictions. they welcome the opposition because it gives them a chance to be able to speak their mind and show that their views have validity. we just learned this morning that the great home run champion of all time, hank aaron, passed away at the age of 86. what a great man, great baseball player but you know how he hit home runs? he hit them off fastballs. if someone threw some really pathetic, weak pitch he probably would ground it into the dirt because you need a good fastball to take one into the third deck. that's how he was a great baseball player. he faced the toughest pitching in the history of baseball and he put them in the stands. so if you have great positions, you want the fastballs thrown your way. if you are weak, then you basically want it rolled in the dirt so you can hope to get a walk. i think what really is being

shown is that people on the far left are not that confident in their views. they don't deeply believe that they work. and the only way that they can continue to stand on them is to not have any opposition. so what do you do? you get rid of the opposition, you never face a fastball, and that way you can say your position is right because you don't let anyone challenge it. >> harris: wow. beautifully said and the way you wove that together. we have had congresswoman maloney many times. i will reach out and ask the questions whether they look at the other programs. in the interest of free speech i think that's fair. thank you for summing that up in such a beautiful way. governor huckabee, good to see you. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: "time" magazine's new covering is wasting no time trashing the job president trump did while he was in

office. how one columnist is turning this image back around on democrats. and this. >> decisions were made were negligent, they put a lot of people at risk. someone lost their life as a result of that. >> whatever the timeline was to get this right, it just got pushed up to tomorrow or today. i think that people are fed up. >> harris: so what do police do? philadelphia police inspector derrick brown going after the bail reforms that put a convict on the street where he shot a man to death just days after going free on a bail he suddenly could produce 10% of because it was so low. they reduced it. the focus is on who is looking out for you when fraternal order of police national vice president joe gamaldi joins me next.

with mortgage rates at their lowest in history, it's time to refi. but if you're a veteran homeowner and need cash, here's big news. introducing refiplus from newday usa. it lets you refi at all-time low rates plus you could take out $50,000 or more. money for security today, money for retirement tomorrow. refiplus. it's only for veterans and it's only from newday usa.

>> harris: the focus on who is looking out for you when it

comes to crime in our american cities. and we're focusing because the murder of a temple graduate in philadelphia last week who was gunned down while walking his dog is something that people fear could happen to anybody. it wasn't like it was in the middle of the night. the suspect had two pending assault charges on his record. but was released on lowered bail under new rules just two weeks before the killing. >> innocent victims, dead bodies have to pile up before people revolt at the courthouse. this judge haden reduced the bond $300,000 to $20,000 and he walked out on 10%. two weeks later this young man is dead. that's called bond or bail reform. instead of keeping them behind bars they let him go. >> harris: joins me now is joe

gamaldi national vice president of the fat -- fraternal order of police. joe, you said this was coming. >> 15 months ago we were on a town hall together and warned about the freight train coming from rogue prosecutors, judges, bail reform and what it would do to our urban communities. the freight train is running them over. murders increase in philadelphia by 37%. new york by 40%. chicago by 56%. houston is up 40%. 90 murder victims in houston over the last year and a half have been from suspects on multiple felony bonds. it is completely out of control. it is our urban communities that are suffering. statistically enough it is our black and brown communities suffering the most. they are the victims of that crime and nobody seems willing to step up and say this is wrong and it needs to stop. we are going to step up as law enforcement and point out how dangerous this really is.

>> harris: what do you tell officers across the country? bail reform isn't something they can have an impact on on their daily jobs. recidivism it happened within 14 days to put 10% down on bail because of it being so much lower. >> recidivism is through the roof. cook county in chicago it's over 56% for violent crime for those released on bail reform. what we're telling our officers out there, make no mistake, the hard working men and women of law enforcement do their job every day no matter the consequences even though violence against us is up and 314 police officers shot just last year. a lot of people out on bond in sweetheart deals shooting police officers on the streets. what i tell them is we can only control what we can control. we have to go out there and continue to put violent criminals, those who are gun toting and pulling the trigger put them behind bars. if the rest of the criminal

justice system isn't doing their job we won't make the kind of impact we have had in the past. it is the an all guy of if the pipe is still leaking and we're mopping the floor. we have to stop the flow of criminals back out onto our streets. >> harris: wow. i will ask my team to put this video up because i want you to tell me what you see here. i made the point this is early in an evening, this gentleman, recent grad, girlfriend in the nearby area. we're learning a lot about him. he is out walking his dog. he doesn't seem to put up a fight. what do you see, joe? >> you know, it is just so disheartening to see what is happening in our urban communities and it is not just this victim. there are thousands of other victims across the country bringing murder wholesale in our streets right now. it needs to stop and we need to pay the property attention to this as a country because we are losing our urban

communities. officers have given decades, given careers and lives to create this urban renaissance we've seen over the last 20 years and it is being undone within a year because of rogue prosecutors like larry crassner. he should resign after what occurred on his watch. this needs to stop or we'll lose our urban communities for a generation. >> harris: so much of this. i tell the audience, you know, i ask them who is looking out for you when you see this bail reform. quickly before i let you go, when somebody is about to be released they get a review board. i understand it's a reinterview situation that can feel like a trial. is that what's happening with bail reform? when you make it affordable for a criminal to put down 10%, what kind of questions are you asking about that person or to that person? >> you know, in most cases what we're finding is they aren't even asking these questions. a blanket stamp the paperwork. in most cases they aren't

getting cash bonds, they get pr bonds. they are signing on the dotted line promising to appear. i assure you people who shoot people for a living won't show back up in court for their court date. >> harris: thank you very much. we'll keep our eye on it. this is philadelphia, a recent college grad killed out walking his dog. thank you for always being with me during these times to help us make sense of what is happening. >> thank you for having me on. >> harris: president biden is already being accused of covid-19 hypocrisy on his first day in office. what happened to setting an example? this white house says well, the press secretary said yesterday it is no big deal. power panel slides in next. to support a strong immune system, your body needs routine. centrum helps your immune defenses every day, with vitamin c, d and zinc. season, after season. ace your immune support,

with centrum. 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, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision

when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

>> bill: president biden is taking heat for ditching his mask at the lincoln memorial hours after he signed an executive order mandating masks on all federal property to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. white house press secretary jen psaki shrugged it off. watch. >> he was celebrating an evening of an historic day in our country and inaugurated as

president of the united states. surrounded by his family, we take a number of precautions but i think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time. >> harris: power panel now, johanna maska former director and host of the pod. t.w. shannon former speaker of the oklahoma house and ceo of chickasaw bank. johanna, i'll start with you. he was celebrating. what happened to the power of the example? >> yeah. you know, i saw peter doocy ask that question in the press briefing room yesterday. i have been in that briefing room hundreds of times and i think one of the most important jobs in our democracy is really having a free and fair press that holds power accountable. and i think it is a fair question. i actually think, though, the american people are more

interested in why is the press briefing room open and we don't have rules for our small and medium size businesses, something per square footage how many people you can have in a small and medium sized business. push power, hold them accountable. ask the questions that the american people care about. >> harris: wow. t.w. >> harris, the hypocrisy is obvious. i don't hear anybody talking about what really matters and i'm concerned about the president's health. by any measurement the president is in every high-risk category that i can think of. frankly, all of my republican friends, we should be really concerned because if the president should become unable to fulfill his duties kamala harris is who is waiting. after her is nancy pelosi. again, this is just more of the left as do as i say not as you see me do. i think that's the real problem. again, the first day of the president's inauguration was supposed to be about unity. what we saw were a bunch of

executive orders that frankly divide america like the ones on energy, like states like oklahoma where i think the president is listening to world renowned energy experts like hunter biden relying on to cut drilling and to close pipelines. i think that's a mistake for the country just like i think the idea the president's big proposal on masks is going to do something for the coronavirus. it is bigger than just masks. we need a full plan. i haven't heard one. >> harris: there are pictures of the entire family who were huddled together without masks. it was a chilly night. just the interest of full facts, c.w. and your concern about the president's health he has had both doses of the coronavirus vaccine. you can still get it and the cdc says even after the vaccine you are supposed to wear a mask. let's move on.

the nation on fire. town hall.com columnist tweeted this. is the oval office in seattle? did black lives matter and antifa blow through there? johanna. >> "time" magazine didn't need that image. a couple of weeks ago we had an image of a noose in front of the capitol and trump flags on the capitol. it is a division that president biden is inheriting that is really toxic. i hope we get to a point in which we have fair conversations about all the issues that really matter. >> harris: it is interesting because if you saw that johanna, i'm curious to get your take on this. if you saw that on the opposite with a conservative president and it was, you know, all over the place, mainstream media would be unfire about it. but with joe biden it's okay to do this? that's not real. that picture isn't real.

i thought we were a nation who cared about the facts. >> yeah, i think you are right. it is a depiction but i think we do have a fair question about the idea of representing the facts. even like this idea that there is a cancel culture just on the left. the right is trying to cancel liz cheney now for standing up for her morals. we need to have real fair discussions where we are as a country, how we are inciting these divisions and i think it's completely fair to question this depiction when there are pictures of the division that speak more loudly than this. >> harris: let's see if others in the mainstream media have the gum shun that it is a completely. coming up "outnumbered" gillian turner, kennedy, leslie marshall and former secretary of education bill bennett is in

>> harris: critics of the domestic chair bill pointing to the recent comment from a director john brennan the way he characterized. all right, that was obviously an error, let's speeded up. harvard students are calling for the ivy league school to revoke the degrees of some of the alumni there, i want to get to gary tenney over a controversy that is happening. >> yes, harris. the university of wisconsin has a reading list that it claims students are wanting to see these kind of things. it is called "disrupting

whiteness in libraries and library-ship was quote. with whiteness, micro-aggression, as well as neutrality in library information studies. while some students see efforts like this one as raising awareness about racism, others say it is creating even more division on campus. creating an environment where students are free to ask questions or challenge any of the ideas being pushed out. >> i think that we are moving towards a place where we can no longer have that free exchange of ideas and i think that that is really dangerous to our society. speak of the unified school district in burbank, california is taking it a step further banning classic books like to kill a mockingbird, of mice and men, and adventures of huckleberry finn over a handful of complaints that the books are racist. titles will still be available in school libraries, but the move sets a dangerous precedent. it's also worth pointing out that books like "to kill a

mockingbird" and "huckleberry finn" have always been controversial, but rather than getting banned for being against racism, they are getting banned because some feel it is promoting it. >> harris: thank you very much. we will hit that on another day when we have a little bit more time to flush it out. but i appreciate the first report. now be 25. there have been a couple of things in the last hour that we want to catch everybody up on. so we are going to see our first impeachment article presented on monday. we had wondered about the timing of all of this. we know the house has impeached president trump twice, and the house of representatives voted wednesday, january 13th 2 impeached president trump for high crimes of misdemeanors for inciting what we saw in that insurrection and grants the
