cruz and hawley have a different kind of culpability. they may not quite reach the line of insurrection under the 14th amendment, they have potential. congressional ethics exposure, potential censure by their colleagues, but we don't know all the facts yet. so we need to see what the con tours of the conspiracy were. and of course, there's the famous picture now, now-infamous picture of hawley holding an upraised fist to the protesters that day. so we'll need to see how it develops. 14th amendment, censure, ethics investigations, potential civil liability. we're going to be looking at the consequences here in congress, in the courts, and politically for many, many, many months to come. >> hey, david gregory, what concerns me is it's not over. we have the republican share of the nigh county republican party in nevada overnight saying, donald trump is still going to be president after january 20th. he still believes that donald trump won and will maintain office. and this is a republican county leader. so you have people still saying this

hawley can only yield his five minutes. so, he can -- he can object -- and again, if a house and senate member both object, it forces this two-hour clock. he could only yield his five minutes. so, he is essentially saying i object to this but i am not going to bother to tell you anything about why. here is some other senators who may debate this. >> let's go back to the senate floor. lindsey graham, now, is making his remarks. >> to hold the country hostage to end reconstruction. it worked. the commission was 8-7. it didn't work. nobody accepted it. the way it ended is when hayes did a deal with these three states. you give me the electors. i'll kick the union army out. the rest is history. it led to jim crow. if you are looking for historical guidance, this is not the one to pick. if you are looking for a way to convince people there was no fraud, having a commission, chosen by nancy pelosi, mitch mcconnell, and john roberts, is not gonna get you to where you want to go. it ain't gonna work. so, it's not going to do any go

hawley's office indicated he will object later on tonight. now we are in the long house vote process that could take 30 minutes to an hour. this is the house has pretty strict covid protocols. they vote in groups now and it slows down even in boilerplate generic votes. this might go a little bit faster but i think we will see a pretty slow-moving vote in the house with a similar result. not quite as strong of a smackdown on the objection here, but still a pretty clear indication of where this is all head headed is sometime in the next 30 or 40 minutes. >> is there any indication that mitch mcconnell is working on or has an agreement with josh hawley to not object to pennsylvania so that the speeches we're hearing on the senate floor right now will actually end up being the last speeches of the night because they will not be coming back to vote on another objection? >> reporter: no, i don't think we will be that fortunate. hawley's office indicated he still intends to object to the pennsylvania electors, even though he won't speak. it's an int

to hawley, that is muzzling.at are muzzled, and he is not in the same zip code as any of them. he believes freedom of speech means not only the right to say what he wants, truth and fact be damned, and in no way should his words carry consequences, unlike those truly muzzled, he is protected by first amendment, at last check is still very much a thing. a member of the senate, gives him a platform to always speak. despite losing a book deal because publishers felt his connection to those that attacked the capitol and our democracy was a bit over the top, hawley found another publisher. for a man that claims to be muzzled, josh hawley sure does talk a lot. hawley sure does talk a lot voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. voya. be confident to and through retirement. mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz... a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate

josh hawley's efforts they are likely aren't going anywhere. his objections will be debated for a few hours but biden will ultimately be declared the winner. i'm also concerned that this puts republicans in a bad spot because they will either have to dispute a state election result or vote against trump which could mean in 2022 we will see some trump back primary challengers. but he does bring up some alarming points that deserve attention. for example, just months before the general election, the pennsylvania supreme court altered the state election laws arguably changing their role by the federal constitution also points out big tech. >> leland: we don't need to relitigate the election but the idea is two things can be true, there could be some legitimate gripes about how the election was conducted and could also be true that joe biden won the election. this is what ben sasse had to say, and i want to read this. although clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won't change the fact that this january 6 effort is designed to dis

josh hawley is a very smart guy. josh hawley is stanford, yale law, clerked for chief justice roberts, has not said one word by the way defending justice roberts when lin wood called him a child molester. he knows better. he knows better. it is such a craven political move. is he calculating -- this is a guy who has more ambition than common sense. he barely got elected as attorney general. then he was running for the united states senate. he barely gets elected to the united states senate and he's running for president. in the process of him trying to be hyper ambitious, he has compromised not just what i think is integrity that you should have if you are an elected office holder but the national security. >> i'm going to reject the idea that he's smart because he went to fancy schools. we're going to have to agree to disagree. >> maybe intellectually smart. he's not smart. this is him with the fist raised to the men and women who committed crimes in insurrection and sedition. let me tell you what he put in motion.

are josh hawley and ron johnson of wisconsin. they raised issues about specific states we haven't heard about yet. hawley earlier this week said that his objection was going to be about want state of pennsylvania, and ron johnson of wisconsin said he would reject the results in his home state. i wrran into johnson and he sai they would talk about it. he would not be more specific. he he said he and president trump bear no responsibility were the violence that happened here today. of the key people here in the mix of continuing to abject, ted cruz has already spoken about want arizona objection. he is in the allowed to speak again in the two-hour period so if we hear from hawley on ron johnson, and they also withdraw their objection that can tell us this would be potentially the last of the objections tonight, that the fire had entirely gone out from the senate side to continue the fight. i think we know there are house members that want to continue objecting and the senate seems to be backing away from making it a losing fight to

so hawley might make out here in the end. >> juan: jesse, in fact hawley is a yale law school graduateiar with the first amendment. he brings it up and says this is censorship. it's first amendment violation. that has nothing to do with a private company deciding they don't want to do business with him. >> jesse: well, simon & schuster just published a boatload of hannity books. so i don't know how woke simon & schuster all of a sudden is. they probably -- it's all about the money. they probably just didn't think hawley is going to sell that many copies and they figured why not just cut him down and take a small loss in exchange for some "attaboys" from the libs and publishers. but dana's right, it will help book sales for hawley. he will get publish them on merrill's and he can bill it is the book too dangerous to be published. what he was doing challenging the electors, democrats challenged electors the last three republican presidents that were elected. nancy pelosi challenged electors. whatever he was doing was perfectly constitutional. just representing his constituents who had co

. >> brennan: josh hawley was on the other side of that. do you think he was complicit, along with the five other senators who continue to promulgate this lie, that there could be a change to the outcome of the election on wednesday? >> well, i only have one vote in the senate, which is my vote. i did, the day senator hawley announced he would be contesting those electoral votes, announced tht i would not be. when senator cruz said he had a plan to put back in place a commission like the one formed in 1877, i said that wouldn't happen. i wasn't interested then or now in spending a lot of time on things that can't happen. just like the impeachment of the president to remove him from office clearly is not going to happen between now and the last day he is in office. >> brennan: so you don't believe he has committed

josh hawley and ted cruz are united states senators. donald trump was the president. at some point how and when does the republican party or something that used to be the republican party that you were once a member of cleave itself in which jews in space sent a laser to florida to make way for high-speed rail? >> let's play it out. kevin mccarthy who is every bit as responsin as hawley are for the incitements to violence for the telling of the big lie. where is the minority leader of the house? he is in mar-a-lago with his leader donald trump pledging his loyalty? they put a woman, marjorie taylor-greene who is utterly insane. they put her on the education committee. she denies the parkland and the newtown shootings. a member of congress denies the

hawley of missouri? well, that guy is one of the better educated people in the united states government. and to one -- >> stanford and yale law school. >> yeah, i mean, he's really a well educated human being. he never learned how to curb any visual thing that was ambitious. when you see him he just reeks of ambition. and senator danforth is probably one of the more respected retired republicans anywhere with congress thomas being on the supreme court. and he just doesn't -- he doesn't come across -- i just don't see him as having any skill to get beyond. he might be able to win re-election in missouri, but i don't think he's -- i don't think he's going to play in or anything like that. i really don't. ambitious is craven. and tom cotton who's an educated guy, he let the ball come to him, and he probably helped himself a little bit. senator cruz is another highly, highly educated man. i don't know how these people end up where they are. senator kennedy from louisiana, i want somebody to explain that to m

and hawley wasn't even on the call.ut mcconnell enough to show up to talk to him about it, i think that tells you right now that mcconnell is in a very different situation than he's ever been before. 2009 we had people like olympia snow or chris dodd or john mccain, john kerry, it was a different united states senate, people who cared about the institution and cared about the democracy more than partisanship and those type of figures are gone now and they have been replaced by hawley and cruz and marco rubio. people that we know are spineless. we know don't have any true conservative values. they don't have any policy agenda or anything driving them other than the pursuit of power. for all of those people who think foolishly they can kowtow to donald trump and turn around and give his blessing and run for president they have not been paying attention because every relationship that president trump has, go ask jeff sessions, go ask michael cohen or bill barr, they are trashed and they're left with tatters of their reputa

but in some ways, you could say what happened this year was worse, because the big lie that josh hawley and droousted cruz preaching was not a lie about the reputation of individuals, it was undermining the integrity of the american democracy, undermining the integrity of the election. and a lot of people got bamboozled by the reputation of the lie so much so that they were willing to undertake violence against congress because of what they had heard. >> do you think, senator kaine, as this ethics investigation proceeds, more information about the extent of senator hawley and senator cruz's actions will become public? >> it's possible. if there is more information about it. there needs to be an investigation, including into any ties between them and folks who were organizing this rally that turned into an attack, the circumstances of these fund-raising e-mails were, what troubled us. and obviously, you do an investigation like this so they can offer their own facts and defenses, which they needo do. there's going to be multiple sides to the story. the ethics committee is not under a tim

hawley raised his fist in solidarity.ut today he insisted he was right to challenge the election results. the reason is simple. i will not bow to a lawless mob or allow criminals to drown out the legitimate concerns of my constituents. scott jennings and amanda carpenter. this is all very odd to me. seems like president trump, the only one worried about his legacy and future tonight. >> hawley is trying to rewrite history saying he wasn't bowing down to the mob. he was doing their bidding. he was their guy in the senate. you know, i am all for the scrutiny that josh hawley and ted cruz are going to get for objecting. i want to write a rule on the senate. number one, all of the people that told us to vote for donald trump twice. are you sorry for what happened? when it comes to the senate, do not overlook what happened in georgia and how the entire senate establishment was in on stoking the big lie. the big lie that dan orlovsky and david perd -- kelly loeffle perdue campaigned on. kelly loeffler said she was going to obje

now josh hawley plans to join with several house members who want to object to at least one state.s noted that pennsylvania might be that state. once that happens, then both the house and the senate have to break from their joint session go into their respective chambers, debate for two hours and then hold a vote on each individual objection. what these senators are saying is that they will vote for hawley's objection when that vote occurs. they're not saying necessarily they're going to bring their own objections. each individual state objection takes another two hours. this could be quite the circus on wednesday. could be quite the long event. but i want to read briefly from their statement. they are essentially saying that what they want is congress to immediately appoint electoral commission with full fact-finding authority to conduct this emergency ten-day audit. we don't expect that's going to happen especially gchb the fact democrats control the house. but they go to on say, we intend to vote on january 6th to redress the electors from disputed states. unless and until the e

look at josh hawley. you know -- >> he's so proud. >> so proud that he would be able to do something that no terrorist organization has been able to do. no foreign power has been able to do since the war of 1812. invade the people's house. lay waste to the people's house, commit insurrection, sedition, treason against the united states of america. josh -- josh, i went to southern state schools. no, put the picture of josh back up there. i went to southern state schools, josh, maybe i'm just stupid, but is that what they really taught you at stanford, how to commit treason, how to encourage insurrection against the united states of america? how to have blood on that fist of yours, josh? this is you, buddy. this is your moment. it was your insurrection. you know the constitution. you went to yale law school. you know exactly what you were doing. you were the one that stirred up this insurrection along with

he's the front of this, he and josh hawley. do you think that they'll change what they are doing? >> i can't get inside ted cruz's head. he was a smart kid but obviously he is not exactly lost his mind but decided to put into horrible use and josh hawley. these people has had adequate constitution. they don't give a damn about it. they want power and influence. i would suggest to them if they want any futures of american politics, they better break up and realize the american people do not like anarchy. we can agree for an angry mob entering the capitol and leaving one person dead is beyond unacceptable. they crossed the line and they have to pull back. i can't get inside their heads but if they have any concern for their own future, that's all they care about. if they have any concern for their own future, they better pull back. >> professor tribe, thank you very much. i want to go to wilmington right now, jeff zeleny is out front there. we heard the president-elect biden speaks genuinely and you have some new reporting from the biden's team, what are you learn sng. >> reporter:

last night watching the debate on the senate floor, watching mitt romney behind josh hawley as josh hawleyas speaking, his eyes were telling. hearing mitt romney give his own speech, it seemed like one senator after another was directly yelling at both josh hawley and ted cruz. i'm going to be curious to see how they're treated during the next session. >> and romney got bipartisan applause. that never happens on the senate floor. >> that's such a good point. it was a powerful speech. >>> after being forced to shelter in place, several house democrats are preparing articles of impeachment against senator trump. joining us now is democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas. she's on the homeland security committee. congresswoman, you were a vocal supporter of the first round of impeachment. a second impeachment would be unprecedented. he would be the only president to have been impeached twice. >> let me just say this incident yesterday, this catastrophic failure of security, this trump dominated violence clearly calls for a recognition by the american people that donald j. trump ha

hawley has gone the farthest so far.e others like senator marco rubio trying to figure out a way to, for instance, nod to concerns about the integrity of the election and decide whether or not that means that he also will object. i'm not saying i think he will or know anything about that. but that's just kind of an example of what's going through the heads of a lot of these more ambitious future likely republican leaders. i think that that fear that we were talking about is what's driving this. it's a fear of political irelevance. >> it's based on the supposition that the future of the republican party is donald trump's wing of the republican party, almost just as interesting to wonder if there are other republicans who are going to line up behind sasse. >> susan, you have new hampshire's republican governor canceling ceremonies over armed protesters. >> they have been coming to our house, my wife and my young children, they come week after week. monday night we had an armed individual on my property in my backyard that

certainly senator hawley's hometown paper thought so, said so in an editorial. what does it mean for that party, the grand old party? what does it do with trump now? we're going to take it to a capitol hill veteran, warning his party to stand up or be destroyed by trump. former senator jeff flake, next. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the services of the post office plus ups only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. >>> trump inspired the siege on our capitol, period. but he did not cause this trouble alone. 147 retrumplicans still went on to object to biden's electoral vote on no good-faith basis. they chose to lie and do exactly what fomented the attack that preceded their decision to do that. so where was the courage when it counted? former republican s

you have anti-fish show up outside of josh hawley's home, t just threaten him but his wife . so there is serious consideration that lawmakers like congresswoman boebert have to undertake. speak with the supreme court in d.c. say they earned the right to bear and keep arms although not without limits. and recently cities like new york to try to work around that landmark ruling. speak with the city makes it vey inconvenient for a law abiding residents to get a license, to p the gun in the home for self-defense. >> gun rights advocates i've seen similar issues in d.c. and other major cities. in just a basic courtesy, maybe a little bit more expedient with the turnaround in some of these transfers, and particularly as the crime rate is soaring. >> shannon: it is. the special election coverage continues. stay tuned for another live hour of fox "fox news @ night." stick around for the break. robinhood believes now is the time to do money. without the commission fees so you can start investing today, wherever you are - even hanging with your dog. so, what are you waiting for? downlo

this is who josh hawley is. he shouldn't lecture anyone about anything about the process of democracy. josh hawley should resign. that's what he should do. that's what he should do that would help the country most. and hopefully there will be some investigations as to why the capitol police were so completely unprepared when donald trump -- he marketed and said in december that this day was going to be wild. it was wild. there should be investigations. >> joy, let's dip into the end of the remarks from senator romney here. >> -- fairly or not, they'll be remembered for their role in this shameful episode in american history. that will be their legacy. i salute senator lankford and loeffler and braun and daines and i'm sure others, who in the light of today's outrage, have withdrawn their objection. for any who remain insistent on an audit in order to satisfy the many people who believe that the election was stolen, i'd offer this perspective. no congressional audit is ever going to convince these voters, particu

senator hawley from missouri said something that he knows isn't true. and the man was a supreme court clerk. >> yeah. well, you said that he and he had cruz know because they're -- apparently -- >> they are very sophisticated, legal minds. >> they are sophisticated. they are sophisticated in fooling their constituents and the american people that they are actually doing their business. that's not what they are doing but i think as he important to call out on this. i wish we had a wall because we'd call it a wall of shame. ted cruz, texas. josh hawley of missouri. cindy hyde-smith. cynthia loomis of wyoming. and then, you have roger marshall. what is roger marshall of? kansas. rick scott of florida. tommy tuberville of alabama. those are the yes. and here is the interesting thing. kelly loeffler, who just lost her bid as an incumbent senator last night, was -- had said, yesterday, you know, during -- on the day of voting, i am going to vote yes or no, right, not to certify these things. she decided today, after what happened at the capitol, that she was

, this is hawley's will and is it was like. not right. one woman was shot and has died. while lawmakers were sheltering in place . no longer be asked recently hawley is such a high ratio and vision. always actions in the last week has deserved an impressive share of the blame and shed. go on to say hawley was the first is a composer ofthe electoral college with . in motivated by us to follow with takers and other members of the nations copies show loyalty to the president of all counts. you may have about hawley is uncharacteristically pristine . a lot officials of their lives on the line. to defend those who attacked police and broke the law must be prosecuted congress get back to work vicious job. so much center, failing to note your people and inspiring operating days in modern american injury. we lost something precious on wednesday as condolence notes to our democracy, around the world recognize. >> nick in richmond virginia. , your next. >> how are you. >> when you were watching this, what was your immediate thought ? >>

bret, i want to talk about senator hawley.e've seen this tone throughout the year, throughout the country. i am all for protesting. i am all for people peaceably assembling and raising their concerns and calling those in power out on their shenanigans. but going to the home of a sitting senator when he's not there, can you imagine a mom and newborn baby in a situation like that? it's gone too far. how do we pull it back? >> it's unbelievable. that's happened a lot, not just to senators, but to news people, to commentators. this is the new mo of these groups. we've seen mitch mcconnell's home, nancy pelosi's home. this is where we are. there has to be some coming together to stop this kind of thing. i think the next few days in washington are going to be very tumultuous. i think there is a risk there. i hope nothing happens, but i do think there's a concern about not only what's been done after tomorrow but into the inauguration and beyond. there has to be people from both parties standing up and saying, we're better than this

senators ted cruz and josh hawley could be put on the no-fly list.over his pandemic shutdowns, and new york governor andrew cuomo suddenly pulling a 180 despite a sharp rise in cases and slow vaccine rollout. >> we simply cannot stay close to until the vaccine is critical mass. the cost is too high. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your docto

and this is not about hawley or cruz but other lawmakers. they feel like their colleagues might kill them. that is not the most ideal place to work, right? that is the most visceral anger we have. the other is the weird political underpinnings of this moment. there is confusion and uncertainty whether josh hawley and ted cruz in the modern day republican party will end up being rewarded for their actions by the base of the party which very much by every sort of piece of evidence we have still believes in donald trump, still follows donald trump, still harbors doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 election. there is an open-ended question whether ultimately down the road josh hawley will benefit for the stand he took for raising his fist in power, as willie said it, because it will have catered to the most important part of the republican base and the in carnation of the republican party. that is what you are seeing at play here. it is why mitch mcconnell is making the statements he's making without naming the names of his republican collea

we believe that hawley is going to vote not to certify the electors from missouri. now the question is, do these other 11 do the same and follow hawley or do they do it for their own states? we don't know yet. the bottom line is we heard this from chuck schumer, who just tweeted out the bottom line is 18 days from now, joe biden and kamala harris will be in the white house. and that's true. that is absolutely true. this is just gamesmanship, politics at its worst and partisanship at a point right now where we've seen so many people die in the month of december. the deadliest month of covid, and they are playing games right now over whether or not to certify joe biden as president. >> and how is this beneficial and to whom is this beneficial, especially since the understanding is, if time is taken in an objection, even if it's at least one objection that perhaps senator hawley will bring, there will be two hours spent, you know, on trying to digest, you know, what this objection is and proof needs to be brought, but we already know there have been some 60 defeated la

but i see a strange upside in the hawley side which is this. often due ring thfour long years of the trump presidency, carepublawmakers especially in the senate have been able to avoid taking a stand on some of the outrageous things that he is doing. and if hawley makes his colleagues to take this to a vote at least we'll finally know, who are the republican senators who are just so dedicated to the cult of trump that they will go along with the hawleys of the senate and who are the ones who are inspe the can constitution? and so the other way to look at it, it is any vte that mitch mcconnell fervently wants to avoid is a vote that wain som i'm happy to have. so i guess we're going to have it. >> woodruff: well, just in the little bit of time we have left, that'she big thing we're watching this week, along with those georgia senate runoffs david. we had a georgia reporter yesterday saying the d looked to be in strong shape. what are you sources? what's your reporting telling you? >> brooks: well, the polls have ticked bop foth democrats. the ea

mcconnell called hawley out. but hawley wasn't dialed in. latest for you. >> reporter: sources say trump is almost singularly focused on a plot by republican allies to disrupt certification of joe biden's win next week, which democrats are dismissing as absurd. >> they have got to choose here. it's real simple. there is only two choices. you choose democracy of the constitution or you choose the big-lying trump. it's as simple as that. >> reporter: josh hawley, the first to challenge the election results which will force the senate to debate his claim before affirming biden's win but he may not be the last. >> this is the one opportunity that i have as united states senator, this process, right here, my one opportunity to stand up and say something and that's exactly what i am going to do. >> reporter: senator ben sasse said he won't participate in the stunt by follellow republicans urged others to rreject this dangerous ploy. if you make big claims, you better have the evidence. but the president doesn't, and neither do the institutional, a

because no one has muzzled josh hawley. what happened to josh hawley isn't cancel culture. it's called consequence. you can say whatever you want. you can do whatever you want, but you have to face the consequence for it. and his actions, that's what he's doing. he's paying the consequence. it's not cancel. that's how it works. that's how america works. that's how the first amendment works. say whatever you want, but you've got to pay the price. if you say something stupid or you do something stupid or treasonous, or if you try to overturn a duly elected president. right? an effort to overturn our election, he supported an effort to overturn our election which turned violent and it killed people. he's a victim, oh, my god, he's being canceled, poor baby. do you need a binkie? don't fall for this, people. think about the actions in the capitol. think about what happened. think about the people who died. think about the cops who were beaten by people. think about all of that. and someone is concerned about a book? it turns out that that's hugely unpopular on the free market w
