marco rubio basically said, i don't want to play the sound byte, we heard plenty from senator rubio this morning. he said something effective to we have a flaming fire in this country. this would put gasoline on the fire. that means be careful of upsetting the insurrectionists. what about that? >> don't rile up these paraowe any more, they might come back. that's ridiculous. i think the only way we can come to closure is if we have the trial, if we find that donald j. trump did commit a high crime or misdemeanor in inciting this insurrection and if the senate finds he can't hold federal office again. that will bring closure. that will help us come to healing. you know, i used to be a public defender and it would be like if you had a case where somebody robbed the bank, but you got the money back, you said, oh, well, we got the money back. what's the harm? let's let them go. it doesn't work that way. >> how concerned are you about your own security over the next several weeks? we have learned there will be thousands of national guard troops that will remain in d.c. through the impeachment

chris: and senator marco rubio who opposes trying trump again. then -- >> this would be one of the greatest operational challenges our nation has undercane. -- undertaken. chris: we will talk with dr. rochelle, new director of the cdc on the president's plan for beating the virus. we will ask the sunday panel on the challenges the biden administration faces in first one hundred days. and our power player of the week, ryan, breaking bad fan, working actor the leading man. all right now on fox news sunday. ♪ ♪ ♪ chris: and hello again from fox news in washington. opening arguments in the senate impeachment trial of donald trump will begin in 2 weeks. the delay, part of a deal struck by senate leaders, allowing time for mr. trump's legal team to prepare a defense. time also for the senate to confirm some of president biden's cabinet nominees and time to take up covid relief package. in a moment we will talk about the trial, the biden agenda and the split inside the gop with republican senators mitt romney and marco rubio. but first, mike emanuel rep

joining us now from florida, senator marco rubio and senator, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> senatorris. >> chris: you have strong dell might out strongly against holding this impeachment trial but now it is going to happen. what you think the rules should be about the length of a trial and whether or not to allow witnesses to be called? >> senator rubio: first of all, i think the trial was stupid. i think it's counterproductive. we are ready have a flaming fire in this country and it's taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. second, i look back at the time, for example, richard nixon, who had clearly committed crimes and wrongdoing, and in hindsight i think we would all agree that resident forward 'his pardon was important for the country and history helped richard nixon be accountable for what he did. in terms of the rules, i think the president is entitled to due process, i think is entitled to have a defense. i think is entitled to present testimony and evidence if necessary in the house didn't have much of a record of witnesses and so forth because they fra

mike: on the upcoming impeachment trial senator marco rubio has called it stupid how do you respond?i was pleased we worked out a bipartisan schedule so the trial will start on february the eighth that gives the former president team an opportunity to properly prepare their defense and allows us to get the business at hand with president biden's cabinet and reserve some issues before we start. we have no choice the articles have been sent to us by the house of representatives, it's our responsibility to conduct a fair trial and once we start we have to work until we complete it. i think all of us recognizes seriousness of our responsibilities and we know the seriousness of what happened on january the sixth. mike: we expect the process to start tomorrow night. senator ben cardin, thank you for your time. >> thank you. mike: for the republican perspective florida congressman, welcome. >> hey, how you doing. mike: president biden offering a $4 billion to central american countries we learn that from the president's call with mexico's president, is that a smart investment for american t

>> well, yeah, good luck in trying to outtrump ivanka trump if you're marco rubio.ct, take on marco rubio, i would suggest he make a clean break from the trumps and draw a very sharp contrast. that's how people win elections, by drawing hard contrasts and going after their opponents, not by simply agreeing with them. i think he can defeat her, but he won't defeat her by a mini trump. >> what do you think her chances are like? >> it's hard to say. marco rubio is well known in florida, he's a cuban american, he's got a track record. i think he's going to be a lot tougher to defeat than she thinks. she's got the trump name and she'll certainly have many of the trump followers. hard to handicap it at this point without seeing any polling data, but i would have to think she's got a bit of an uphill climb. but that will be a seminal case in how you run against a trump, and marco rubio will have to figure that out if her campaign gets off the ground. it is a serious threat. >>> it was a battleground state in this cycle. senator mark kelly already on the ballot for this yea

here's senators marco rubio and mike rounds today. >> i think the trial is stupid. i think it's counterproductive. we already have a flaming fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. >> do you believe donald trump committed an impeachable offense? >> to begin with, i think it is a moot point because i think right now donald trump is no longer the president. he is a former president. >> senator, how do you respond to them? >> i think it's absolutely essential that anyone responsible for the insurrection are held accountable whether the individuals who entered the capitol and put us in harm's way or whether it was those who incited the group. so whether it's the president of the united states or whether it was the people who planned this january 6th riot or whether it's the individuals who went into the capitol, they need to be held accountable and the president is not above the law. >> rubio called the trial stupid and said it's counterproductive like pouring gasoline on a fire. >> this is our constitutional resp

so as we continue to fight for table scraps and elitists like marco rubio live off of our tax dollars my friends i think it's time we start watching. on a cd. player so let's see this is your state . great city this least systemic dissent says so much. so you'll. welcome everyone watching the harks i am tired of it and i'm a just across so amazing i did you like that battle royal we saw in congress take place all the backstabbing in the craziness that happened over this relief bill over over the holiday break i will say that that was the biggest christmas surprise we came so close congress had already gone home everything was supposed to be wrapped up all signed simple to the point that people would start getting their checks this week and then all of a sudden trump pulls everything back and runs on the idea that people deserve more which is something he didn't talk about before this plane even though democrats in congress have been pushing for more dollars for months now and not recognize or poorly recognizing in his case that stalling only meant people were going to get further and

republicans like marco rubio who resisted donald trump declaring a national emergency when it came to border security so he could free up money to build his wall he said, be careful. if we do this now, maybe tomorrow the democrats will declare climate as a national emergency. a lot of people would argue that this is a national emergency as opposed to that one before. mitch mcconnell is -- or chuck schumer is encouraging the president to do this. remains to be seen if he'll take his advice. >> certainly an emergency in florida. republicans in florida will tell you it is as they deal with effects of climate change. bill, thank you so much. kaitlan, thank you to you as well. >>> it is the top of the hour. i'm brianna keilar and as we are getting new details from the biden administration today on its plan to tackle the pandemic, just moments ago we saw the white house press sent saying that they are recommitted to reopening schools nationwide. >> that's going to require testing materials, support for contact tracing, vaccinations for teachers and ensuring equitably provided but our cdc di

you just cited marco rubio. he has an election in two years. the people who you are seeing cowering are the people who actually have to be accountable to the base. the ones who have the chance at having moral courage are the ones who don't have that kind of accountability. nobody is saying like, you know, that may not be a proud moment for you john avlon in american history but that is the reality and if you're reading the tea leaves you are looking at people just re-elected that are going to long out live trump. we have a history of third parties that are conservative populist movements in this country. they're not powerful. they've become footnotes to history. i'm looking at the dixiecrats, george wallace's party, and the know nothings. they can do that. that will expedite the reckoning in the republican party. >> while i love my wife dropping the american history mic the other thing about this what she pointed to in terms of the senators finding it tough to find their spine because they are up for re-election for the most part speaks to how

but somehow senators like marco rubio now feel like, it's ancient history. it was almost three weeks ago. we don't need to have any senate trial. here is marco rubio yesterday. >> i think the trial is stupid. i think it's counterproductive. we already have a flaming fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. >> do you believe donald trump committed an impeachable offense? >> to begin with, it's a moot point. i think right now donald trump is no longer the president. he is a former president. >> okay, seung min, it's about accountability. it's about getting answers, as one does during a trial. and that's how marco rubio felt very, very strong ly when a marauding mob killed four americans as opposed to five americans back in 2012 in benghazi. here he is then. >> this is not about politics. this is about accountability. somebody needs to be held accountable. this is not about hurting anybody politically. this is about getting to the truth. >> when congress asks questions, it's about getting to the truth. wha

is it going to be a ted cruz or gates or marco rubio, with marco rubio being one of the best three potential nominees. >> how extraordinary was it tha to impeach? now she's getting calls from some of her republican leaders to revine from hsign from her g because of how she voted. this comes in terms of her credentials, her father dick cheney. talk about that. >> it's a striking turnabout. she's been pretty loyal to trump, hasn't criticized him much over the years, but she's in the camp that enough is enough. we can't have a republican party if we're going to be dragged down by donald trump. and so trump is not going to be alive forever, and they will have to, you know, find a new figurehead, and the longer that he is seen as an acceptable way or model where you would have people who are going to run in 2024 who try to tap into that trump base, the harder it gets. and so that's one reason for her concerns. the other is she just did not think he was good on many of the foreign policies in terms of withdrawing suddenly from syria and pulling troops out of afghanistan without properly thinking t

it's good to have you back on the day we just heard from 2 republican senators mitt romney and marco rubio which one speaks the truth about the future of the republican party. i believe that mitt romney does and mitt romney's but the truth about the future of the republican party in 2016 when he warned that donald trump was a fraud that he should may not be nominated for the republican. nomination for president united states unfortunately he was nominated he won the election. donald trump has engaged in. solicitation of election fraud in georgia trying to get they georgia secretary of state to have come up with 13000 votes is inside it a riot and encouraged sedition he had a meeting and the white house where he talked about it with michael flynn his former general flynn as national security advisor about using martial law and having the military go into pennsylvania and georgia and other states to redo the election donald trump is behaving like a dictator and you can have a left wing dictator right wing that cater. behave that way this has nothing to do with political ideology there's a bi

senator marco rubio had a chance to question her this afternoon and he joins us right now.g here. your reaction to that testimony and your questioning of miss greenfield. >> yeah, i mean first of all, what it is she gave a speech in 2019 at havana state black college school and that is at that time confucius institute. she said she was not aware what the confucius institute was doing locally until she went there. she said at the hearing a spokesman for the biden transition said previously she regretted having done the speech and lamented very much. i'm glad she said that but here's the problem, she has over 35 year record of being foreign service in this country, having served to various posts. i don't know how it's possible you can accept a speech and go speak at a place on behalf with confucius institute and not who they were and concerns about them. the american association with the university of professors as early as 2014 was talking about a danger to academic freedom and sensor who can speak on campus and what professors could speak. 2014, director ray bill met chris

i am absolutely fascinated about what marco rubio does. his parents were not u.s.when he was born. he was not fabulously wealthy. within your paul lang, how does marco rubio pick up the pieces after the trump administration? whit: that is a really good question. gop is now seriously split between the governing wing and the populace wing. the governing wing has been dominant for a long time and is still dominant among elected officials. the populace wing was there before donald trump, in 2010, but donald trump really grew it and expanded it and made it a force in republican primaries, although it never got majority support in the country. the real question now is whether the gop splits, or whether it can maintain an uneasy alliance. marco rubio is trying to figure out with his common good capitalism how to appeal to both factions of the party. it remains to be seen how successful he will be with that effort. jonathan: is this still a majority conservative country? whit: it is still a majority center-right country. if you asked most people where they stand, moderate,

as you saw in the story there florida senator marco rubio all of them do not want this to go forward the alabama senator has called on president joe biden to call the impeachment trial off. they believe it will further divide the country and it was interesting today and unrelated a but still somewhat related is that republican senator rob portman from ohio said that he would be resigning at the end of his term. now he voted against the articles of impeachment this time last year he supported president trump in 2020 because he said that was the president of the party at the time or the man who represented his party at that time. but he is resigning at the end of his term he partisan politics here on capitol hill and the divide that he's experienced up here. >>kelli meyer live for us in washington dc kelly, thank you very much. >>and coming up at 6 why one big pharma company has decided to stop developing 2 of its covid vaccines. plus officials are investigating a south bay hospital after it offered vaccinations to bay area teachers and about 5,000 people ordered to evacuate in the san

senator marco rubio joins me right now. senator, good morning to you. 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

>> i actually agree with marco rubio.president biden is saying, he agrees as well. the package that he sent to the congress is the first large immigration package that we've seen in this country, trace, since the late 90s. right? america has changed considerably. in the late 90s we didn't have cell phones. to think our immigration policy is being held together by a patch work of laws and in the 80s and 90s and not in the 2000s is problematic. if marco rubio and republicans really have a problem with joe biden's bill that he sent to congress, let's go to the floor of the congress and let's debate it. what are your solutions? what do republicans want to get done? let's have a debate on how to reform the immigration system, which both parties agree is broken. >> trace: through the magic of television, lisa boothe joins us now. she popped up out of nowhere. it's television. stuff happens. richard was talking about the package. "eighth-year pathway for 11 million undocumented immigrants, investing technology at the border, mor

and, boy, maybe ivanka trump running against marco rubio, oops, it doesn't work to try to be loyal to him. >> yes. >> i wonder if you're also looking at republican legislatures, including in places like georgia where they stood up to trump, or at least they got a lot of credit from it, but learning from what they saw, but saying we need to restrict people from voting, stop black and brown people, just stop people from voting. you are already seeing a push on voting restrictions around the country from legislatures. that's where they're going, keep people from voting? >> and they're not even frepding it's for the integrity of the voting box. the problem with 2020 too many people needed to vote, we made it too easy to vote, the wrong people voted. if we could go back to the way it used to be, we would be better off. and you mentioned how important it was we had officials in georgia who did the right thing and in pennsylvania and michigan and arizona. well, what happens the next time around if those people are not in place? what if you have this maga base overrun people and become secret

others of them like marco rubio saw this clearly in 2016. he said, if we nominate somebody like donald trump who keeps inciting this kind of violence, uses this violent talk, eventually somebody is going to take him seriously and that will be a disaster for this country. that's what marco rubio said in 2016. now he's on board with it. that's great. i want more, i want four more years of donald trump. that's far worse to me actually than the ron johnson calculation. but that's what these guys have made. they've had this opportunity so many times now. they had it after the access hollywood tape, they had it at the first impeachment, now he's not even in office. he can't even tweet them any more. twitter has banned them and still they are rolling over for them because it's what their voters want, they like the popularity that he brings and as you said, some of them like the whole anti-democratic project. >> it's wild, too, because having covered politics, right, you never get a vote to disqualify your opponent. like, when does that happen in po

. >> marco rubio. >> that is moving in a direction, slowly. it is moving in a direction. >> o'donnell: what direction do you think it is moving in? >> to describe this as what it is, lawless criminal activity by a few to breach the capitol and attempt to occupy it in order to slow down this process. >> so marco rubio went further and in a similar tweet there is nothing patriotic about what is occurring on capitol hill he tweeted. this is third world style anti-american anarchy. and she not wrong. he is correct. and this needs to be said by more with greater volume and more regularity, this is a moment, this is a bright shining moment for every republican, every democrat but especially those republicans who have associated themselves in word and in deed with this effort to challenge the election and challenge the congress's counting of the electoral votes. >> i want to bring in john dickerson now who joins us on the phone and, john for those who say this moment is unimaginable, that this couldn't happen, does that ring true to you. >> well, the

funny that you say marco rubio because one part of this proposal, that many people are not talking aboutted in the past. it's the american family act. it is part of biden's proposal. the american family act would expand the child tax credit to $3,000 per child and make it refundable. right now families living in the deepest poverty don't actually make enough money to get the tax credit. now they would. columbia university says this plan would cut the child poverty rate in this country by 40%. joining me now to discuss, a member of biden's council of economic advisers jared bernstein. people are going to look at this overall plan and say, man, that's a big price tag but let's look at the american family act as one part of it. right now it costs our country every year close to a trillion dollars just to address child poverty, to pour into a broken system that's not fixed. so put into context for us the price of this program and what we're currently spending. >> well, that's such a great point because one of the things that you have to consider when you're talking about going after child po

yes, you can hear that in the towns of marco rubio, in such j in the towns of marco rubio, in such annd that is where you are getting the sort of tones you are getting the sort of tones you are getting from marco rubio and others. it will be interesting to watch. interesting to hear from it will be interesting to watch. interesting to hearfrom mr it will be interesting to watch. interesting to hear from mr rickman there just how intense the hatred is, that is quite shocking. —— mr ray coleman. the usual policy debate on the sunday news shows, plenty of disagreement on the week ahead. but no twitter storm. no 24—hour crisis. in fact there was, last night, a bipartisan conversation, between the president and 16 republican and democrat lawmakers. and today we had a white house press briefing. not altogether unusual. except there was a stretch of nearly a year when the trump administration did not a hold a briefing at all. so, here's a flavour of what we got from the new white house press secretaryjen psaki said in today's briefing. to him, means of course approaching our work on legislat

todd: marco rubio and ted cruz agree impeachment is unconstitutional and our blasting democrats for playing political games. >> it is not even constitutional. logic tells you that. the automatic consequence of impeachment and trial of convicted the on the consequences removed from office. that is the consequence of this process. how can you put someone through a process where the automatic consequence is impossible, you can't remove donald trump from office, he's not in office. >> what the house did in the so-called impeachment doesn't meet constitutional standard. they didn't pretend to do due process, they didn't pretend to have hearing to look at any facts or evidence this was an exercise of political rage. in december of 2016 before trump was sworn in said they wanted to impeach him, they wanted to impeach him from the beginning, they did a year ago. i feel i'm trapped in groundhog day where apparently every january we are doing another impeachment. todd: democrats impeached donald trump last year for a phone call he had with the leader of ukraine. carley: a big tech accountability plat

marco rubio. oh. marco rubio who just last summer accused democrats of cowarding of what he called the terror of the mob now wants to knuckle under to domestic terror. >> i think the trial is stupid and counter product tive. it is like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring on top of the fire. >> okay. >> whatever thing you are taking for loss of memory, i will have what they are having. remember that -- i will have what they're having. it must be nice living that way, no guilt andccounte onto the ne because of ambition because you want to hang onto power. >> and the big lie that started it all. the president's attempt to steal the election, the big lie is still out there. republican party putting out a stunningly false proclamation, claiming. there is growing evidence that the violent at the capitol was a false flag to discredit president trump bias his own supporters? >> that's a lie. that's all the former president have left. people are showing up on state's tvs. exhibit a. her information without

this is marco rubio and also ted cruz. watch this. >> many of those in that mob were believers in a ridiculous conspiracy theory. >> the president's language and rhetoric crossed a line. it was reckless, i disagree with it. and i've disagreed with the president's language and rhetoric for the last four years. >> you know these guys. they were trump's water boys. they carried his water. ana, you are now livid, i know. >> i would use another word that's not water boy, but i'm not going to. but it's disgusting. it's disgusting for them to think that people are going to forget the complicity of republicans like marco rubio and ted cruz, like lindsey graham, like so many others, who sold out their principles, who sold their souls in order to be close to power, in order to go on air force one, to get the cuba policy and support nominees they wanted, to allow this man to take hold of the country and the party. they completely sold out their principles. while they were busy tweeting out bible verses or giving sanctimonious speeche

if you think trump is gone your gop established personal marco rubio on that romney u. r. i i don't know nikki haley. eight in 10 trump supporters want him to run again. the same hate did with the k-6 and he will dominate media once again therefore he gets the nomination. it will almost be like a primary and primary is not a word but that would not go well. greg: i'm trying to think of an analogy for that. let's say you want to go to the prom with this guy, right and your only competition is this other who's in a relationship and you are like i think i've got a chance but then she breaks up with the guy and now the guy picks her. that's exactly what happened to nikki haley and marco rubio. >> yes. i don't like to talk election. we just got done with an election. it's the worst. election time is the worst for me. >> imagine you are at the prom. >> it's like the olympics. remember when the olympics river were for it for years and they decided to alternate them every two years in the summer and winter? i hated that. he was too much. everything is speeding up. >> no matter wha

and that election has batiks and so some of the more moderate figures in the party my old boss marco rubio governor nikki haley i think their hope was then to take what donald trump did to bring more working class voters and you have soften the edges i think that becomes again much more difficult given what we've seen over the last week but that was their hope and watch to see whether donald trump is able to be an organized political force in republican politics once he leaves office surprise super quick question because i do want to take a look over all this means for biden and harris but let's say that trump going forward did split away from the republican party and found his own independent movement and that somehow he got enough money to us and create the media empire that our report mentioned would such a movement be able to win again a majority popular election in the united states historically at all it doesn't seem to be the case i mean look at ross perot he didn't go very far with it either . i have a hard time imagining that he will be successful in doing that and i think creatin

maria: that was florida's senator marco rubio on wednesday addressing the capitol siege and impact. e-state media mocked chaos online calling it, quote, a beautiful sight. senator rubio joins me right now. good to see you. senator: good morning. maria: i want to get your take on china for sure. the big news of the day of the squelching of conservative conversation with mover out of apple but let's discuss horrible breach of our democracy, breach of capitol on wednesday, your reaction? senator: it's disgusting. i can't give you an assessment of every single person that went in there and it's clear now by arrests that have been made, the ridiculous conspiracy, then you've got white supremacists in there, you have members to have proud boys. it's a rogue gallery of groups and who thought they were going to storm the capitol, apprehend vice president and members of congress and have them pay the ultimate of progress, string them up they would say. i had protests here in florida calling me to be strong up on others. it's unacceptable. 90% of the country will agree with what i just said. t

this is good to have you back on the day we just heard from 2 republican senators mitt romney and marco rubio which one speaks the truth about the future of the republican party. i believe that mitt romney does and mitt romney's but the truth about the future of the republican party in 2016 when he warned that donald trump was a fraud that he should may not be nominated for the republican. nomination for president the united states unfortunately he was nominated he won the election . donald trump has engaged in. solicitation of election fraud in georgia trying to get they georgia secretary of state to come up with 13000 votes is incited a riot and encouraged sedition he had a meeting in that white house where he talked about it with michael flynn as former general flynn as national security advisor about using martial law and having the military go into pennsylvania and georgia and other states to redo the election donald trump is behaving like a dictator and you can have a left wing dictator or a right wing dictator. they hate that way this has nothing to do with political ideology there's a

jon: you might've heard senator marco rubio says that he thinks all of this is afoot because democrats about to take full reins of the levers of power in washington and the tech companies want to be on their good side by shutting down the president and conservatives. >> i think without any doubt whatsoever this is a power move in this is about protecting their interest in washington, for the past four years we have heard a lot of talk from republicans but most from president trump about his interest in seeing some regulation put in place that holds the social media companies accountable for their ghosting people and squelching freedom of speech. there is no doubt in my mind that the effort here is to protect their own business. i was interested reading the story in the washington post which is owned by jeff bezos, the owner of amazon, he refers to parler, the social media app that is like twitter where a lot of conservatives are going to is being pro trump, it is not pro trump, it is not anti-trump, it is simply not an operation that is targeting trump and targeting trump supporters an

this is -- here -- this is marco rubio, earlier today.nd a ktrt houston exclusive interview with ted cruz. watch this. >> many of those, in that mob, were believers in a ridiculous conspiracy theory and others were lied to. lied to, by politicians that were telling them that the vice president had the power to change the election results. >> the president's language and rhetoric crossed a line and it was reckless. i disagree with it. and i have disagreed with the president's language and rhetoric, for the last four years. >> you know these guys. they were trump's water boys. they carried his water. and, anna, you are now livid, i know. >> i would use another word that's not water boy, but i'm not going to. look. it's disgusting. it's disgusting for them to think that people are going to forget the complicity of republicans, like marco rubio, like ted cruz, like lindsey graham, like so many others, who sold out their principles. who sold their souls, in order to be close to power, in order to -- on air force one, to get the cuba policy the

i often said recently that mitt romney, marco rubio -- if either one where the presidential candidate they would have long conceded since now because they are squish republicans. they have no backbone. we are encouraging trump not to concede. we want to make sure we get the selection right into that is what president trump is fighting for. he wants free and fair elections . it is about the foundation and direction of our country. host: you will be in the park closest to the white house. well the president speak to your rally? will the president speak to your rally? guest: he has indicated he will speak at the rally. the program will begin at 9:00 a.m.. yet there as early as you can. up at 11:00 a.m. -- get there as early as you can. at 11:00 a.m. president trump will address the rally. the: is it your hope that election will be overturned or is it a messaging moment for republicans supporting your effort or the effort to challenge the electoral votes on wednesday? guest: we have to let the process play itself out. it is a complicated process. there are many avenues that can happen on

ivanka trump has made it no secret that she could challenge marco rubio for a senate seat in florida. marco rubio in 2022 and challenge him in a republican primary, she would have to presumably be living in florida. i assume they could move to mar-a-lago, the president's resort there in palm beach, right? >> reporter: right. so there's also space at mar-a-lago. however, you know, that's going to be the future home of president trump and first lady melania trump so it could feel tight and cozy. if she wants to run in florida, she has to live in the state for seven years. we've seen people move to states where they don't necessarily live permanently and run for office, and some have done so successfully. so certainly having established mar-a-lago, buying land in miami, building there, i think the opportunity for her to run against rubio, if that's what she chooses to do, will be a very interesting race, a very high-dollar, a very contentious race perhaps, and something that political forecasters are looking at and i know she is too. >> very quickly, what are you hearing about the first

. >> a number of lawmakers senators, such as marco rubio who criticized the president's exhortations to the mob have been backtracking, the house leaders of the president bore responsibility now, so saying everybody does, i wonder, are you concerned this is heading towards a party line vote like the first impeachment, in other words, you will not be able to convince republican senators to convict? >> no, i am hopeful that members will be open minded that they are going to when they raise their hand and take that oath that they're going to view the evidence that is presented today and that they're going to do the right thing. i cannot be moved by the machinations of politics that are going on in the interim while we are trying to put this together. i think that we will be speaking to all 100 senators. we will not be speaking to one group or the other. i am hopeful they will do what's necessary to truly unify this country. that unification can't happen until there is a reckoning for crimes against it. >> congresswoman, thanks for joining the show this morning. >> thank you. >> always g

marco rubio up for re-election in 2022. does he want a republican primary? want president trump in his face? their calculation is that with every day that passes, they'll be able to say, yes, the insurrection was outrageous. yes, we're not going to go against the president's words, why don't we move along. this raises the bar for its managers. getting 17 votes, as manu noted, almost impossible. but not impossible. what witnesses might they bring? how do they introduce the evidence? it's a giant steep hill. right now you wouldn't think the managers could make it and the clock is working against him, which is a lot of pressure against those managers. >> we'll hear what he says tonight and we can go through the decisions they have to make, especially on witnesses. abby, what does this look like at this moment? i'm sorry, let me know what everyone is seeing. the house clerk cheryl johnson leading there with the nine impeachment managers. many faces you will recognize with the masks on. these are the nine impeachment managers. david scicillini there, david raskin

and marco rubio. marco rubio who just last summer accused democrats of cowering from what he called the terror of the mob in the wake of protest now wants to knuckle under to domestic terror. >> i think the trial is stupid. i think it's counterproductive. we already have a flaming fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. >> okay. whatever thing you're taking for loss of memory, i'll have what they're having. remember that i'll have what she's -- i'll have what they're having. that must be nice to live that way. you don't have to -- no repercussions, no guilt, no accountability. you just move on to the next thing because of ambition, because you want to hang on to power. and the big lie that started it all, the then-president's desperate attempts to steal the election, the big lie is still out there. the republican party putting out a stunningly false proclamation claiming there is growing evidence the capitol was designed to discredit president t
