>> i think that they can bring a challenge to the application of section 230. the other thing they can do is go on alternate sites. for example, rumble, which hosts my show, doesn't censor anything. so let's fight these monopoly as well in the marketplace of ideas and in the courts of law and in the legislative chambers. they are violating if not the text of the first amendment, the culture and the spirit of free speech and we who have been fighting for free speech, in my case, since the 1960s, we have to fight back. maria: yeah. well, that's the point, though, alan. they haven't addressed rumble yet but rumble may very well be next. i mean, they're taking down parler. you heard from john mace, the ceo. and not only are they removing him from the app stores but they're also canceling the servers so we'll be watching that. i have to get your thoughts on the 25th amendment or the impeachment. 5thouse democrats have drafted articles of impeachment. they will introduce on monday. if the president doesn't resign. tell me your reaction to this. will you defend this in court if it goes to trial? >> it will not go to trial. t all the democrats can do is impeach the president in the house of representatives. for that, all you need is a majority vote. you don't have to take evidence. there are no lawyers involved. but the case cannot come for trial in the senate. because the senate has rules and the rules would not allow the case to come to trial until according to the majority leader, until 1:00 p.m. on january 20th, an hour after president trump leaves office and the constitution specifically says the president shall be removed from office upon impeachment, et cetera. it doesn't say the former president. congress has no power to impeach or try a private citizen, whether it be a private citizen named donald trump or named barack obama or anyone else. the jurisdiction is limited to a sitting president. and so there won't be a trial. but what i worry about deeply is the impact of impeachment on the first amendment. for 100 years, the supreme court and other courts have struggled to develop a jury ris juris pru. in the leading case of brandenburg versus ohio, the supreme court basically said that what president trump said on wednesday as much as i disapprove of it and many people disapprove of it on its merits, is protected by the first amendment of the constitution. it comes within core political speech and to impeach a president for having exercised his first amendment rights would be so dangerous to the constitution, it would lie around like a loaded weapon, ready to be used by either party against the other party and that's not what impeachment or the 25th amendment were intended to be. maria: yeah. but that's going -- there's a lot of that going around right now. senators on the democrats' side are demanding, senator cruz and senator hawley resign. real quick, we've got to jump. >> that's ridiculous.ov they're covered by the speech and debate clause. nothing can happen to them based on what they said on the floor of the senate. they engaged in protected speech. let us not let the terrible incident that occurred on wednesday destroy the constitution of the united states. that is my goal, to protect the constitution from over zealous advocates who want to weaponize it in the interest of temporary political gain. maria: this may be an anti-trust issue to recognize how powerful the companies are. we don't know if the biden administration will actually move on that. alan, thanks very much for fighting for what's right and we will see you soon, sir. thank you. alan dershowitz joining us this morning. we'll be right back. stay with us. everything for me. she had these awful blisters on her back. i don't want shingles when i'm your age. actually, if you're 50 or older, you're at increased risk that's life, nothing you can do... uh, shingles can be prevented. shingles can be whaaaat?

how does this play out. >> what happened wednesday, is a tragedy. everyone knows that. it's as wrong as wrong can be. i hope the democrats don't go down this road. we don't know if they're goingoa to. they do not do that. do not do 75 million americans who onpported the president have been called deplorables who eat at the olive garden. remember what peter strzok said when i was at the walmart, he said he could smell the trumpum supporters here. now the democrats are going to try to remove the president from office, just seven days before he's set to leave anyway. i do not see how that unifies the country. i hope what happens is what senator graham said. friday night on this network. when he asked vice president joe biden, president-elect joe biden, to give a speech to the country and say we should not be pursuing this impeachment, we should notld be pursuing this 25th amendment. let's bring the country together and move forward. and return to being this america, the greatest nation ever. that's where we need to focus. maria: so tell me, then, what happens if the president gets impeached again. does that cancel out him running again? i mean, what is the point of this? wouldn't joe biden want to get right to business and start pushing through his nominees of his cabinet? >> right. and also getting -- right, getting the right people into cabinet positions for the safety of the country, for the good of the country, secretary of defense, secretary of state, leader of health and human services, for the good of the country i think it makes sense for vice president biden to do that. president-elect biden to do that. it also is good for him, good for the country as a whole to help bring us together. as professor dershowitz pointedr out, i think it's unconstitutional what they're trying to do. so hopefully cooler heads will prevail and we will not move down this path. if in fact there was a conviction in the senate, then of course the constitution is clear that the president can't hold office but as mr. dershowitz pointed out impeachment is for a sitting president and the president, if the democrats pursue this, could not have a trial until after he has left office. so i think it's got real constitutional problems but most importantly it's not healthy for the nation. we're at an important point. i'm very concerned about where we're at. i hope we can begin to come back together. maria: so who was this and what was behind this heinous, disgusting move to put an assault on our democracy by breaking into the capitol on wednesday? where is the accountability there? what's your reaction to that, congressman? how do we move past it? >> you've got to hold the people who did these terrible things accountable andbl the law enforcement and justice department is doing just that. people are responsible for their actions and these terrible actions that were taken, they need to be held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. one thing about this, maria, republicans have been consistent. last summer when terrible things were happening, we called forme ending the violence and prosecuting the people who t destroyed property and attacked attackedficers and private citizens. we've said the same thing about the terrible things that took place at our nation's capitol last wednesday. democrats on the other hand, this is unfortunate, democrats on the other of hand, this summer they said the caused justified the action. they raised money to bail these rioters and looters out of jail. they named streets after the organizations who were pushing for these events. all the while they were talking about defunding the police. let's be consistent. let's be consistent and let's calm everybody down. and focus on unifying the country as we move forward. maria: yeah. you make a really important point. we all watched those mall of the cocktails -- molotov cocktails being thrown at police, bricks being thrown into windows this summer, forcing businesses to board up. today we have a constitutional crisis with this crushing of free speech. congressman, i know you've got f lot on that as well. we'll get back to that next time we see you.ee great to see you, congressman jim jordan. thank you, sir. we'll be right back. stay with us. pay off my student loan debt. they were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. i got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ express yourself ♪ >> a lot of people, china, china, let me just say, in all modesty, no one here as worked harder on the issue of china, they hate my guts. i'm twice sanctioned. double sanctions and i can't travel there. i wasn't planning to anyway. china's laughing. they'ree loving this tonight. and beijing, they're high-fivine because they point to us and say this is proof the future belongs to china, america is in decline. maria: that was florida senator marco rubio on wednesday,ri addressing the capitol hill siege and the impact. chinese state media mocked the chaos online, calling it, quote, a beautiful sight. senator marco rubio joins me right now. senator, good morning to you. it is good to see you. >> good morning. maria: how do we move forward here? i want to get your take on china for sure. of course, the big news of the day of this squelching of conservative conversation the latest move out of apple. first, let's discuss that horrible breach on our democracy of the breach of the capitol on wednesday. your reaction? >> it's disgusting. it's unpatriotic. it runs counter to everything we stand for. it's unfortunate that there are -- look, i don't -- i can't give you an assessment of every single person that went in there but it's clear by the arrests that are being made and what groups are saying online that qanon people were involved, thie ridiculous conspiracy. then you've got white supremacists in there, members of the proud boys, which is a rogue gallery of groups who thought they were going to storm the capitol, apprehend the vice president and a members ofnd congress and have them pay the ultimate price as they called it. string them up, as they say. i've had protests in florida calling for me to be strung up. it's completely acceptable. the overwhelming majority of people who voted for donald trump would agree with everything i just said. and it was aho moment where we could sort of say this is enough, guys. our country can't keep doing these kinds of things and unify the country. that's not what happened unfortunately. the left has decided this is an opportunity to destroy the right. whoever voted for donald trump, if you supported anything he did, you are just as guilty as the people who went into that capitol. and this is also of an opportunity for them to go andol uput pressure on social media companies to not just he race the president, erase everybody. four on five companies have the power, monopoly power to decide we're going to wipe people out, we're going to erase them from any sort of digital platform, whether it's selling things and the like. even if you don't like donald trump that should be concerning that they have that power. gsit's cynical.al facebookre not moral champions here. the reason they're doing this is because the democrats are about to take power and they you viewe this as a way to get on theird good side to avoid any restrictions or laws beingur passed to hurt them. instead of unifying us, biden, the democrats are using this as an opportunity to talk about rick iridiculous things like les impeach the president who won't be in office in nine days. maria: nancy pelosi says everything is on the table. mitch mcconnell drawing up the articles ofng impeachment. they're saying that the president incited all of this. we have these pictures from earlier this year when the president was trying to push for law and order in the chop zone in seattle when protesters and people raiding the area were throwing molotov cocktails at police and bricks through the windows of small business, forcing small business to board up. >> yeah. so two things i would say. number one, no person in the united states of america or in the world for that ma

biden criticises big tech, he often picks out one company and one company alone — facebook. for him, it's become almost a byword for a free internet gone wrong. here's another quote from joe biden about facebookemocrats want biden to go much further. democracy has prevailed! yeah, a number of democrats have called for breaking up dominant tech platforms. whether you're talking about elizabeth warren or others, they — they're looking at the marketplace and they see that there's not a lot of competition rising up, not a lot of choices for consumers, and a lot of accusations that i think these investigations have started to shine an even brighter light on with the evidence that they're finding. that's right. within the democrats, it's a widely—held view that big tech doesn'tjust need its wings clipped, that companies like google and facebook may have to be split up. so i think that we're kind of going into an administration where there is a high degree of sophistication around the problems and there is a lot of outside momentum that is going to push them, even if they themselves don't feel comfortable, maybe, being in the leadership position here, that is going to push them in the right directio

twitter and facebook, mark zuckerberg, announcing this morning that the president's facebook and instagram accounts would be blocked indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until joe biden is inaugurated. zuckerberg said the platform was used to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government. former president george w. bush called yesterday's attack at the u. s. capitol a sickening and heartbreaking sight. in a statement, the former president said quote this is how election results are disputed in a banana republic, not our democratic republic. insurrection could do great damage to our nation and reputation in the united states of america. it is the fundamental responsibility off every patriotic citizen to ship to support the rule of law. former president barack obama also released this statement, his read quote, history will write. remember today's violence at the capitol incited by a sitting president, who has continued to baseless lee lie about the outcomeof a lawful election. republican leaders can continue down this road or vacant shoes. reality end quote. and reaction is also coming in from across the world. reporter benjamin hall has more

facebook. you have an administration coming in, the biden/harris administration looking very closely at the size and scope and influence of big tech right now. that very much includes facebook, specifically its acquisition of instagram and the power it wields that it often gives these major voices like the president to be able to spread whatever message they want on social media. so certainly the political undercurrent and the switching over of power absolutely play a role in the broader context of how the company is thinking about this right now. >> jo ling kent, thank you. kelly o'donnell live at the white house, just outside the white house. kelly, this is -- listen, this is significant. the president has used these social media platforms, whether you're supportive or not, to great effect, meaning lots of followers, huge bull horn, even when mainstream media outlets relay concerns about the misinformation he's spreading. you have to imagine this is a step that is getting through to a president who, by the way, has been known to rail against social media companies from what he's described as censorship before. >> so much of president trump is about harnessing his ability

facebook's ability-- facebook and instagram says it's removing all content with the phrase: stop the steel, ahead of president-elect biden annihilation saying it violates the company's policy against for donating harm, but the company says it will continue to allow robust conversations related to the election outcome, but not those that call for violence. she says facebook to lift the ban on president trump's accounts. stuart: got it. thank you. the chancellor of germany, angela merkel calling president trump the banning from twitter quote problematic, her words, problematic. bruce daisley is back with us, former vice president of twitter. bruce, let me offer my opinion. i think it is dangerous when two very wealthy guys decide what to the rest of the world can see and hear. i don't think they should be the arbitrators of free speech and that's what they have become. are you with me on this? >> hard to argue with that and i think we are in a situation where, having worked at twitter for a long time i know the company has become very uncomfortable about making decisions that would in any way deep platform political leaders and we see it now when people point our attention to ayatollah khomeini tweets in a wrong. the company was reluctant to get into the business of taking leaders off the platform and i think what we have witnessed is putting the presiden

facebook accounts. zuckerberg dance him for fanning the flames. trump returned to twitter on thursday with a video acknowledging joe biden would be the next president, as other social media services, including facebook, blocked his accounts over concerns that his messages may spark further violent protests. i want to redo the comments in particular of mark zuckerberg. he said in a statement, the shocking events of the last four hours clearly demonstrate that president donald trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, joe biden. jane is a new hill, north carolina on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. i think you do an excellent job of trying to put out the facts and truth. but, unfortunately, you cannot -- some people choose to believe a lie. i think these people know that trump has been lying, he did not win the election, he knows that. but they choose to believe that, and they choose to be violent. believe that there is too much -- i don't understand why the national guard was not there early that morning. i fully expected them to be there. who not know why the people are in more respons

that hunter biden laptop story was broken by the new york post and, yes, we did have it suppressed by facebook and twitter. and, you know, ethan mentions a lot of the top stories shared by facebookse voices get heard. and we are seeing, i think, a move to deplatform if people on the right. it started, of course, with banning donald trump from twitter, but it's been going on before that, and it's been continuing. someone like josh hawley, you know, losing a book contract because people don't like one of his political views. he mentions in the piece it's not just, you know, big politicians like him that this is happening to, it's regular people. david: right. >> like he mentioned in the piece, you might cut someone off in traffic, and people will follow you home -- [inaudible conversations] david: let's give ethan a chance to get in here because we're run aring out of time. but, ethan, there was an era in the '50s, the mccarthy era, in which people were blackballed if they were seen as too far to the left. now it seems like you're getting the same thing on the right, no? >> no. because it's not government action that's silencing people. david: i didn't say it was -- [inaudible con

facebook confirmed the removal. here's what facebook says. the group was removed for violating our communities standards unrelated to the ongoing stock frenzy. well, president joe biden is taking steps to expand healthcare coverage and reverse some of the policies of former president trump. he signed an executive order on reopening insurance enrollment on healthcare dog. that's going to start -- healthcare.gov. that's going to start next month. he ended a policy that prohibits federal funds from going to foreign aid groups that perform abortions. next week, president biden expected to issue you several more executive orders on immigration, jackie. he's on a roll. james: he is on -- he is on a roll. thank you. it's time for the word on wall street. joining me now, optimal capital director of strategy, francis newton stacy, rose cliff capital ceo, mike murphy and chief economist, lindsey piezga. mike, i'm going to kick it off with you. we're watching futures this morning. all eyes are on the frenzy of trade, robin hood and other online platforms of, in the names like game stop, amc, nokia, other as well. after the individual investors pushed for an influx of buying, robin hoodiesing the restrictions, which pushed the affected companies lower at the close, squaring up the battle between main street and wall street. you are a player in this game. i want to get your reaction to everything that's happening. >> good morning, jackie. great to be here. so much has happened in the last few days, i'll try to encapsulate it here. you have the people on reddit, the wall street bets crowd that have forced the short squeeze on the large hedge funds. melvin this the headlines. then it goes to the people who came in to support melvin, citadel and point 72. when i look at this, melvin and the people running the other big hedge funds aren't my concern because they've been doing this a long time. they're going to figure this out one way or the other. my concern is the yolo crowd, the you only live once people at home. i would love the market participants, i love having these people investing in the market and making money in the market. but things go up and things go down. so i think these people have to be careful that you don't want to see them coming in and getting wiped out by this huge move in the market. what robinhood did yesterday and the other clearing houses did, they halted new orders. they halted new buys and new sells, opening orders of. you could only liquidate a position that you had. now you're seeing a lot of headlines that they should be investigated, they should go to jail. i think it's simpler than that. i think these guys had a cash crunch. i think from a clearing perspective, they didn't have the money to support all these transactions, if there was a call on that money of. so they shored up their balance sheet. trading is open today. i would say just be careful. things are going in your favor right now. they can turn quickly. be aware of that for the people who haven't been trading for a long time. jackie: . i love how you laid that out for us. robinhood had to raise money to make sure they could handle this. day trading has been a craze, it's led to volatility. we've seen people doing it as a result of the pandemic, they're sitting home, looking for innovative ways to make money. they have more time on their hands, less things to do. and you look at the broader markets which are being impacted from this as well. your thoughts on how we should be viewing overall market in the backdrop of this. >> well, any time you have increased volatility, you have increased day trading. we had this when we had the flash crash in 2018 and we had etfs going broke because they were overly short the vix index. this has happened before. the difference is this is happening with retail trader, not with more experienced and higher volume situations with hedge funds and things like that. what it comes down to is a genuine question around fiduciary responsibility. does robinhood imply they have a fiduciary responsibility that they don't have when saying they're looking out for the little guy. obviously that's a lawsuit that's coming. what is the responsibility of regulators? are these people, these brand-new day traders, are they legitimately vulnerable? obviously, you wouldn't let somebody perform heart surgery if they don't have a license. there are many things in this country where we have to get a license and show proficient skill. to what level would you have to do that? is it a restriction on freedom? did they shut it down because they had clearing issues or were they selling data to hedge funds and colluding with hedge funds behind the traders' backs. there are tons of questions. how it affects the overall market, we've seen it before. it will increase volatility. regulators will come in and look at this issue and we will move forward as planned but the interesting thing of course is that game stop is not -- the underlying value of game stop is not fluctuating like its stock price and that's what makes this an anomaly. >> we are going to have to brace for that volatility going forward. lindsey, this situation definitely putting day trading platforms and individual investors really at the forefront of market activity, at least for now. and i think that you have looking at at this and wonder what the long-term economic impact will be. we saw a rise in day trading, for example, in the dot-com boom. a lot of people made a lot of money and a lot of people got burned. >> i think this speaks more broadly to the uneven nature of the recovery we're seeing in the marketplace, more of a k-shaped rebound marred by gains in some sectors to the detriment of other of sectors. early on in the crisis, many businesses, big businesses were arbitrarily excluded from restrictions and regulations that made it extremely difficult for small businesses to survive, killing mom and pop shops. we have seen rules were changed to benefit hedge funds at the expense of individual or retail investors. we don't want to advocate for equal outcome, that's not what the country is about but we want to make sure all the players in the game are subject todd the same rules -- subjected to the same rules and regulations going forward. >> francis newton, lindsey and mike murphy, wonderful to see you all. appreciate your time and insight on this story that continues to roar on. there's much more ahead this morning. coming up on the show, texas congressman michael burgess gives us the latest on capitol hill's stimulus negotiations. coming up next. former acting u.s. attorney general matt whitaker weighing in on facebook's in its choice to take down some posts. and neck hour, texas -- next hour, texas congressman and former white house physician drs the take on the impact of president biden's healthcare executive orders and own a piece of rock history, we're going to show you stunning pieces up for auction with proceeds going to a worthwhile cause. and of course, joining the conversation all morning long, james freeman and brian brenberg. you are watching "mornings with maria," live on fox business. jackie: welcome back. stimulus stalemate, the white house announcing it ruled out a plan to split the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package into two parts as lawmakers are questioning the overall price tag. nancy pelosi says she will take the first steps into passing stimulus with a budget resolution with or without the gop's help next week. joining me now, texas congressman and medical doctor, michael burgess. great to see you, congressman. thank you for joining us this morning. want to talk about stimul

facebook has ramped up efforts to stop the spread of misinformation regarding the 2020 election or anything having to do with joe biden being illegitimate. i just quickly searched the words trump illegitimate on facebook and found a post from 2017 that says president trump is an illegitimate president and twitter said trump is an illegitimate president. this is political. one president is allowed to be illegitimate. another president is not. it's clear the platforms are quickly becoming places where only liberal thought can be expressed but conservative thought cannot. >> julie: facebookcy measures they're calling them. let's put them on the screen. increasing the requirement of group administrators to review and approve posts before they can go up. automatically disabling comments on posts in groups that start to have a high rate of hate speech or content that incites violence and using ai to demote content that likely violates policies. i mean, they're basically censoring a part of the country on facebook. i understand not inciting violence and hate speech. there is no room for that. but i'm wondering if they've gone too far. >> yeah. well, those rules that you just read seems like stuff that should have already been happening when it comes to hate speech but that is not all that is happening. it is interesting to see the reaction coming in from around the world. a spokesman for the german chancellor merkel said she used twitter's ban of president trump as problematic and expressed freedom of thought. two things to be concerned about. one is what this means for the

facebook actually promote this extremism. they promote the extremism within. >> i know. but to her point about, you know, getting ready for joe biden. this is some last minute suck up by twitter or facebook, all you've done is shown just how impactful everything that you have been doing so far has been in terms of spreading disinformation. you have shown how it drops the minute you actually take action. you have shown that you should have done this a long time ago. and perhaps there wouldn't be people dead. perhaps there wouldn't be people following false scientific information about the coronavirus. perhaps there wouldn't have been some sort of insurrection at the capitol that was promulgated all over your sites. perhaps there wouldn't be so much hatred and disinformation. you have shown that. it drops just by one random act that you decided to take at the very last minute. i mean, really honestly, the leadership of facebook zuckerberg, you are pathetic. you make absolutely no reason about your actions. you could have done this a long time ago. you decided to do it now. huh? i wonder who is going to be president now? maybe this will make them happy. no, you have just shown him why you need to be shut down. you need to be shutdown. nobody needs what you have to offer. you have destroyed this country. quite frankly, it's still happening right now. >> not just destroyed this country. destroyed democracies -- >> i'm sorry. one more thing. the little sheryl sandberg and mark -- we're working so hard. who are you to say that? follow the law. follow the law that publishers have to follow. follow the restrictions that anybody has to follow when they put something out in the public domain. >> well, first of all, they are publishers. >> that's what they are. >> they are publishers. section 230 is ridiculous. right now fox news has been threatened with lawsuits. they have been sued for spreading disinformation. face
