stuart: biden announced 11th hour preemptive pardons for general mark milley and doctor anthony fauci the january 6 select committee. i believe the left-hand side were about to see the president in president-elect emerge. that is the vehemence and vice president harris emerging together and we will see the first lady and first lady elect they have emerged already they got into their limos and heading towards the capital, vice president harris and vice president-elect on the same thing. i want to ask about the pardons, what does that do to biden's legacy? >> he used the pardons and commutations more than any president we can remember looking back in history. exponentially more in the preemptive pardons raise a lot of questions some of these people like adam kinzinger and others have said i don't want it but they take it today as the january 6 committee is one of the list as you mentioned but it does bring questions about his use of this at the end not only for his son but the preemptive pardons that is a blanket that covers them no matter whatever happened. stuart: were just seen speak

for over a decade, anthony fauci said the risks of a pandemic occurring were worth the benefit of thewledge. most other scientists disagree with that. but the idea that we could do anything to any virus and if it escapes, oh, well, oops too bad, the knowledge is worth it. it's not. there are viruses that could kill 50% of humanity. we should not trying to aerosolize ebola or the avian flu or make it easier to transmit avian flu among humans. right now the biggest benefit is avian flu can get into humans, but not going human to human. if you work in a lab with the avian flu, you can probably make the virus go human to human with intended or intentional mutamutationand thattal disasted anthony touchi is wrong about this and will be judged harshly. >> and keeping the count of ratcliffe, and 80% of the votes, and 73 yes votes to 25 nos. donald trump appears to have inherited a national security threat, the degree to which did not exist in his first term, here's what the chairman of your committee, homeland security had to say -- sorry, chairman of the house homeland security. he said the

anthony fauci. >> dr.ci has had marshall's protecting him for years and trump rescinded that taxpayer protection saying fauci had to pay for it himself. the reason he had threats on his life was because of the work he did on covid. trump also rescinded protection around john bolton, who faces threats from the state of iran. most surprising was what he did to the former cia director, mike pompeo, who faces threats from iran. he cut that support and that raises that question, what is his policy if a former official was assassinated, would that be an act of war by an aggressive state, something biden had said about those threats against trump. when it came to bolton and fehe said he would not feel responsible. >> this may not be the last time he pulls security detail. thank you so much. join margaret this sunday morning on "face the nation" where guest includes vice president j.d. vance in his first interview since taking office. the trump administration announced it has started to fly immigrants who entered

he and his supporters talked about prosecuting people like anthony fauci, members of the january 6thmark milley, general mark milley, the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who trump even suggested could face the death penalty. so president biden has just issued pre-emptive pardons for all of them saying, quote, these publicer is vanlts servants hav nation with honor and distinction and do not deserving to targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions. again, this is anthony fauci, the committee members and staff of the january 6th committee, and this is general mark milley. also members of the capitol police who testified before the january 6th committee. at the end of this statement, announcing these pardons, president biden makes it clear this is not an admission of guilt. he says the issuance of these pardons should not be mistaked that any individual engaged in wrongdoing. he's protecting them from possible and in some cases, threatened political prosecutions. >> george: explain in practical terms how this is likely to work, jon. >> jonathan: well, this

anthony fauci denied accusations he worked to sway americans believing as he did that the virus cameory itself wasn't a conspiracy but -- >> what is conspiracy is the kind of distortions of that particular subject, like it was a lab leak and i was parachuted into the cia like jason borne and told the cia that they should really not be talking about a lab leak. >> thank you. >> that's the conspiracy. >> appreciate it. >> reporter: he wrapped it up there saying that's the conspiracy. the cia joins the fbi and energy department in favoring the lab leak theory. china unsurprisingly rejects the claim. will. >> i would suggest that dr. anthony fauci does not take the stand to give any more testimony or he'll be pushing the limits of that pardon extended to him by joe biden. thank you alexandria. >> reporter: sure. >> will: i hate to say i told you so -- well, not really. you want me to just lay it out? eagles chiefs. that's my prediction. >> ugg. you know. >> will: no? >> i've known you a long time and you never cease to disappoint me with your picks when it comes to football games. you ar

we are back to john. >> a caller just a second ago mentioned anthony fauci.ne it to know some news this morning concerning anthony fauci and others out of the white house. i am talking about the joe biden white house. the associated press reporting that president biden has pardoned fauci and mark milley in an effort to guard against potential revenge by donald trump good this is the lead, saying president biden issued those pardons as well to members of the house committee that investigated the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol, using the its ordinary powers of his office in the final hours to guard against potential revenge. that was a "revenge." here is more from the statement. the issuing of the pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment and at individual engaged in wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued of guilt of any offense. our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country. the statement out of the white house this morning, more news on a newsy day in washington. president bid

what is your thought, steve hilton, on the pardon for anthony fauci? there we were in the middle of a covid meltdown as a country with debts and so much sickness. he had us wearing masks that we now know and may have known then did not work against this virus. cloth masks and why surgeons don't wear them today. >> oh my goodness, harris, i'm tempted to say don't get me started. it's such a wonderful day and so much positive to think about. it is just in line with the absolutely terrible last few weeks and months of this lamentable presidency frankly. so it is in keeping with that. i think it is an insult to everybody who suffered needlessly with the response that i was so critical of at the time and so were all of us. we saw the facts and what was done was not in line with the facts or the science and so this is a middle finger frankly to the country and it is just so reprehensible that this should happen at this time. as i say i would like to focus on the very positive future that lies ahead of us. >> harris: part of that future now includes the comin

anthony fauci e did he commit an crimes? he was largely the face behind the made up social distancing rules, the extended masking, double mask, the whole nine yards. he was also behind some scone censcensorship as well wasn't i. >> all of that is true. what i do know is that everything dr. fauci told us turned out to be false. he told us it wasn't tax money in the lab in wuhan, china, yes it was. he told us the virus didn't come from the lab. it did. he told the vaccinated couldn't get it, couldn't transmit. he told us masks work. he told us six feet was based on the social distancing was based on science and he told us this was the first virus in history where there's no such thing as natural immunity. he was like o for eight on important pieces of information but we'll see if he did anything criminal. it will be up to the next justice department. maria: we'll be watching that and whether or not biden does this preemptive pardon but in the realm of censorship we heard some pretty important breaking news this week, meta endi

biden pardoned mark milley, anthony fauci, the jan six committee members, including adam schiff, cheney, liz. adam kinzinger. biden also pardoned his siblings and their spouses. ooh, i know the idea being to protect them all from potential prosecution under the trump administration. sadly, joe won't remember any of these pardons tomorrow, but we will, kennedy. we will. what's interesting about this, i think especially with like somebody like fauci, it doesn't mean that they can't be publicly investigated in a hearing. and when they are questioned, there's no fifth amendment anymore because that goes away when you're immune. so this could this could end up if trump wants to. he could act like there's no pardons and go forward. >> well, these are also just for federal crimes. >> yeah. >> unlike you, i didn't go to law school. >> but you went to law school? >> no, i did not. that's what i'm saying. but i would i would like for aggressive attorneys general in conservative states to go after people like anthony fauci for lying to the citizens in their states and harming them and harming the

. >> el presidente trump confirmÓ que cancelÓ la seguridad federal para el doctor anthony fauci desdeio de esto, mike pompeo y al ex consejero de seguridad nacional, john bolton. todos crÍticos a la gestiÓn de trump. dos marinos mexicanos secuestrados en yemen por militantes hutÍes ya estÁn de vuelta en su paÍs. uno de ellos, arturo zacarÍas, contÓ que la esperanza de volver a ver a su familia lo ayudÓ a mantenerse fuerte durante esos 14 meses de cautiverio. alejandro godina nos muestra cÓmo fue ese esperado encuentro. >> con un abrazo que marcÓ el regreso de un marinero al puerto que siempre fue su hogar. la madre de arturo recibiÓ de vuelta a su hijo en veracruz. >> solo agradecerle a dios que nunca nos soltÓ. siempre con mucha fe y esperanza, rogando y pidiendo porque ya no los hiciera llegar. >> arturo, junto con otro mexicano, marcos gÓmez, fueron secuestrados en alta mar por militantes hutÍes en noviembre de 2023, siendo liberados recientemente, como confirmaron autoridades mexicanas. >> cuando ellos llegaron al puente de mando, el capitÁn dio la orden de de que nos rindiÉramos

security detail of people whose lives are genuinely in danger people like john bolton, mike pompeo, anthony faucily comes back to the same thing in my mind. and the interesting one to me is fauci. i don't remember fauci coming out there and saying he did a terrible i mean, he is a very thoughtful gentleman. >> yeah. >> bolton may be a different story. he's out there. but fauci did a great job, has done great work for this country. but it didn't work out for donald. you know, some of the blame got assigned to donald, which i believe rightfully so. fauci may have even taken the spotlight away from donald for a while. i mean, he was out there in front every day. >> yeah. >> let me in fact, actually, i was going to say i was going to share this with you. i mean, the danger. here for both bolton and fauci in 2022, the doj charged a member of iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps in a plot to kill bolton, likely in retaliation for the trump administration's killing of an iranian general back in 2022. as you were saying, fauci has been subject to death threats, part of the maga conspiracy world. but,

anthony fauci did nothing to donald trump personally. in fact, he was hired by donald trump. this is punitive. >> the things that they attack him about, the things that this is what i don't get. donald trump was right there when, you know, they said, anthony fauci included, that we need to have, quote unquote, lockdowns. trump was there. that was his administration. those were his policies. the reason that, you know, john bolton has a security detail is because john bolton was the face of donald trump's policy to kill soleimani. that's why he has a security detail. that's why iran wants to kill him. >> wow. loyalty. hypocrisy. what a shock. i'm with this guy. like he said it, he said it a lot that he was going to take revenge. he talks in those. you know, he's a television person. i often look at him when i was watching say, that panoply of billionaires, it was all for television. you know, here's the people i own. here's that. and he does speak in those ways, almost like his show. i mean, as the only person on this panel, i think, who's watched every apprentice, you can see

and today he pardoned anthony fauci, general mark milley, members of the. as president trump calls them, unselect january 6th committee, including liz cheney, adam schiff, bennie thompson and many more. and only minutes before president trump took the oath of office, he also issued a pardon for several members of his own family, including his brother jim, his sister valerie, among others. and for the record, let's take a little trip down memory lane about four years ago. let's hear what adam schiff, who got a preemptive pardon today and what chuck schumer previously said about preemptive pardons. i doubt you'll see this on any other network. take a look. >> have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who was innocent of all crime, who's just an innocent person? have you ever heard of that? just somebody getting a blanket. pardon? and they're an innocent person. >> but no. here it's an effort not only to prospectively pardon people for things they have not yet been charged with and may never be charged with. but also, it's the president's own

and anthony fauci, of course, was pardoned. and the january 6th committee was pardoned. they did all of joe's bidding, didn't they? they gave a false narrative, and then they got rid of all the evidence. meanwhile, over at cbs, they aired margaret brennan and her interview with the vp, jd vance and the vice president had some very harsh words for the u.s. catholic bishops condemning ice entering churches and schools. take a look. >> we're going to enforce immigration law. we're going to protect the american people. donald trump promised to do that. and i believe the u.s. conference of catholic bishops, if they're worried about the humanitarian costs of immigration enforcement, let them talk about the children who have been sex trafficked because of the wide open border of joe biden. >> you personally talk about people. >> like lincoln riley, who were brutally murdered. i support us doing law enforcement against violent criminals, whether they're illegal immigrants or anybody else. >> the young children murdered, the young children raped, the young children victims of vio

> biden's white house team is now considering preemptive pardons for maga enemies, people like anthony faucion. >> adam schiff. >> members of congress' january 6th committee. >> oprah. >> the statue of liberty. >> cap'n crunch. >> mr. potato head. >> everyone! >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert!"

preemptive pardons for officials who may face reprisals from the trump administration, including doctor anthony faucisome of his own family members. there was no traditional parade, but in the evening, the president rallied thousands of supporters at the capital one arena. some of the executive orders president trump signed inside the stadium with supporters looking on. >> the first item the president trump is signing is the rescission of 78 biden era executive actions. >> beyond the border, the president taking aim at diversity, equity and inclusion programs and pardoning a number of americans connected to the january 6th attack on the capitol. he pardoned or commuted the sentences of around 1500 individuals, including proud boys leader enrique tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison, and oath keepers leader stewart rhodes, who was serving 18 years. the incoming administration said two other offenders are walking free late tonight. >> i think most people assume that nonviolent offenders, people that had some kind of a misdemeanor offense, they would have their cases thrown out. but the idea

. >> about what. >> the security. >> detail for anthony fauci was terminated last night. when you work for the government, at some point, your security detail comes off and you know you can't have them forever. so i think it's very standard. if it would be for somebody else, you wouldn't be asking the question. he questions very fair. but you know, you work for government. we took some off other people too. but you can't have a security detail for the rest of your life because you work for government. >> we take. >> it. >> off, sir. >> we'll see what happens. >> partially responsible if something. >> were to happen. >> as you say. >> doctor fauci. >> no. >> john bolton. >> no. you know, they all made a lot of money. they could hire their own security to all the people you're talking about. they can go out. i can give them some good numbers. they're very good security people. they can hire their own security. they all made a lot of money. fauci made a lot of money. they all did. so if they, you know, felt that strongly, i think that certainly i would not take responsibilit

do you think biden should issue these preemptive pardons to liz cheney anthony fauci, et cetera.? >> i personally have not been a fan of this. i think by its nature, if you're issuing a preemptive pardon, you're suggesting that somebody did something wrong. there's an element of of admission, of guilt that comes with a pardon. i also think there are questions about whether a preemptive pardon would stand up in court in different situations. so i haven't been a huge fan of it, but i certainly understand, given everything that trump has said about what he intends to do with, with, with the presidency and with his government, i can understand the reason for it. but again, i just to me, it's it's it's an admission of guilt that i think is is unnecessary. >> all right. thanks to all of you. really appreciate it. congratulations, susan on the interview. great stuff. we're going to go back to southern california. i'm going to be joined by an actor who drove into the flames to try to help with evacuations. that's next. >> i have to find a babysitter. >> i have a lot of questions. >> when

and that includes doctor anthony fauci.bers of the january 6th investigation committee. general milley just issued a statement saying, in part, my family and i are deeply grateful for the president's action today. after 43 years of faithful service in uniform to our nation protecting and defending the constitution, i do not wish to spend whatever remaining time the lord grants me fighting those who unjustly might seek retribution for perceived slights. the president's pardons also extended to the capitol police officers who testified, and we're hearing from one of them as well. harry dunn issuing a statement saying, i wish this pardon weren't necessary, but unfortunately, the political climate we are in now has made the need for one somewhat of a reality. i, like all of the other public servants, was just doing my job and upholding my oath. and i will always honor that. >> the head of the irs will be stepping down today. danny werfel says that he's going to resign after president elect trump is inaugurated in just a few hou
