. >> host: let's talk about the interesting stories in your book, one pertains to mark meadows. do you believe mark meadows whatever, quote, dropped to his knees to beg for donald trump's forgiveness as chief of staff the same way he begged your forgiveness as speaker of the house? >> guest: i don't think so. it is one of the stranger things i have seen as speaker, mark meadows, in 2012, running for office, i was in north carolina doing a romney event, stuck around the next day, a couple months later what does he do? to be speaker, i was elected, i get over it. it was never about the last vote. it is the next vote. i am over it, don't think about it but a couple months into the first term in congress you must come see me. democrat or republican, come on in. meadows shows up in my office, looks a little nervous and sitting on his couch across from the chair i would sit in, started to talk and as he started talking just slid off of this low couch onto his knees onto the floor and put his hand in a prayer position and said mister speaker, will you forgive me? i said for what? i had

one pertains to mark meadows. do you believe mark meadows whatever, quote, dropped to his knees to beg for president trump's forgiveness as chief of staff in the same way he begged for your forgiveness as speaker of the house? >> i don't think so. it was one of the stranger things i've seen. mark meadows, i went to help him in 2012 when he was first running for office. i was in asheville, north -- a couple months later he gets me to and it's never about the last vote it's about the next vote. i don't think much about it, but [inaudible] why would anyone want to come to see me, democrat, republican. come on in. so, meadows shows that in my office and looks a little nervous. he's sitting on this couch across from the chair i was sitting in, and he started talking and slid off of this little couch onto his knees onto the floor and put his hands in a prayer position and said mr. speaker, will you forgive me? and i said for what. i'd long forgotten about the vote. two years later, he gets reelected in 2014. january, 20

, we'll get to you in a second, but mark meadows, this legal group, with miller, that's your group. >> it is. it's not surprising that the left is already saying he's the worst individual in america because he's actually taking it to them and holding the biden administration accountable, but somebody needs to hold them accountable because he's missing in action. and joe biden, in his leadership style, is mr. appeasement across the board. >> sean: last mentioned, i guess, reagan library, peggy noonan is hosting an event. jim jordan, i don't know, i haven't changed my ayenda. it's the make america great agenda. the america first agenda. that's the agenda that worked so well for donald trump in his first three years prior to the pandemic, i believe it would work again. what does peggy need to choose what she wants to eliminate any and all conservatives from the party? is that what they are choosing? >> it's also an american strength agenda, so that we project strength around the world. not this weakness that our enemies see. you talk about what took place in anchorage two months ago wher

mark meadows has been a great leader working with the president.e them back this time we have to act like democrats and run the table with our conservative values. texas is the america that all of america used to be. they come here because there is a pride and image and no income taxes. we love the country. >> laura: loving america is a racist act, mark meadows. that's what the left wants you to believe. >> [overlapping talking]. >> you are right. we lost a great conservative leader foster today to his battle with a disease. he was somebody who said let's bring the sides together but let's honor our country. let's salute our flag and be proud of who we are. donald trump allowed us to do. that we need to get back to that and make sure we are proud of the country that we are today and the freedoms we enjoy. >> laura: we will talk more about foster later in the show. thank you very much. what ice cream tells us about the press and administration. do you need the vaccine papers to use a death app. raymond arroyo in thursday's follies next. people every

mark meadows it's not that complicated. it's everything i have believed for 33 years in radio and tried to articulate. why is there any debate whatsoever? it seems like the establishment rhinos that didn't have a plan to replace obamacare, when you know the details of, they were not ready for donald trump to go along with him when it wasn't a showboat anymore. >> well, they are talking about it's a time for choosing. the american people have already chosen. they showed up in unbelievable volumes and said what we want is a president who will keep america first. joe biden is america last. we don't to look any further than the cancellation of the keystone pipeline and for russia they take off sanctions so they can finish their pipeline. we see today that the palestinians referred to secretary blinken as secretary clinton. they are reverting back to a clinton way of doing business. what did the biden administration do? 2000 rockets in israel and they get all kinds of concessions from the biden administration. that's not leaders

let's bring in mark meadows, former trump white house chief of staff. i hear jennifer's last comment there about the biden administration is demanding answers from china. well, they certainly should have been the entire time knowing that we didn't have answers. we knew it was inconclusive. the investigation launched under the trump administration that you were deeply involved in. why did the biden administration move to end that knowing we didn't have conclusive evidence yet? >> well, this is the biden administration today in damage control for what they actually took was actions against the interests of the american people. when we look at it, they turned a blind eye to china. what we also know is that dr. fauci already in may of 2020, almost a year ago, a little over a year ago, suggested that there was no there there. so either he was uninformed or he was not looking at additional intel assessments that many others had access to. here's what i do now. to suggest that china will have this epiphany and be transparent and allow us to look at it is ignor

we knew we would come to you on a story like this and you heard mark meadows, the target on big techecision just grew really really big. does big text just not care? >> they do care and this is their attempt like i said on your station the other day to pass the buck to an august board of professors and thinkers who would really make the right decision the past it right back to them. that is their indication that they cared but nothing really changed, the ban was upheld and i think republicans are rightfully outraged, another demonstration of the raw power of these companies, there is powerful if not more than government, nationstates and clear message to the oversight board and facebook back in january to the average american is if they can deep platform and suppress is sitting president of the united states they can just as easily do it to you. >> the decision yesterday was lack of decision they are giving facebook 6 months to decide whether donald trump should be permanently banned from the platform or not. republicans are up in arms, louisiana senator john kennedy was honor yester

mark meadows, thank you.esident biden and we want the tune in because of the major issues that the white house is confronting. he's going to talk about vaccine but high anticipation about spiking inflation in the country, gas lines that we haven't seen since the 70s and a war that is brewing in the middle east. what will he say about all of these things when we come back? veteran homeowners. the past four years have seen interest rates drop to record lows while home prices have just gone up and up. giving you a once in a lifetime chance to turn the equity in your home into cash in your hand. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you take out $50,000 or more, by letting you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. make the call while rates are still near all-time lows! at t-mobile, we're on our way to hiring 10,000 veterans and military spouses by 2023. and our commitment doesn't stop there. we always offer 50% off family lines on our military and veteran plans. that's right, 50% off on america's most reliable 5

joining us for more on the president's budget former white house chief of staff, mark meadows, also cofounderamerica first legal and senior partner at conservative partnerships institute. mark, good to see you. thank you for being here. the last budget we saw from the trump administration, february 2020, just before the pandemic came at a 4.8 trillion and that was a lot of money. this is 25% more than that huge budget. 25% increase, don't you need some kind of mandate that goes beyond a 50/50 split in the senate? >> you do need a mandate beyond that. this budget is going nowhere, david. primarily, it's been drafted by number of people in the government that have never made their own living and have never signed the front of a paycheck and they've only signed the back of a government paycheck. what they are doing is we know that the taxes are going to ultimately end up on the back of small businesses. in fact, if you look at the budget this budget actually will increase taxes on those making between 50 and $100,000 by eight out of ten people will see an increase in taxes over the next five yea

and: joining me is mark meadows a former north carolina congressman and trump white chief of staff. why would a school such as unc have ever entertained the idea of bringing jones into the university system given the fact even liberal scholars have panned her work as flawed throughout? >> well, what we see here is not just bringing her in but the recommendation originally was to give her a permanent position. and you look at 1619, the date you should look at is 1620. what we know from history is that actually a group of pilgrims came here for religious liberty in 1620. we are trying to redefine it. we have someone offered a job at unc that the work that individual did would not pass muster in most history classes. but being applauded by the left progressives across the country. it's redefining history in a way that is not consistent with the facts. >> laura: joe biden today continued to demean the country he leads. watch. >> every time you are the hate flourish, you make a lie of who we are as a nation. we cannot let the foundation of this country continue to be eaten away. like it

today's ruling has sparked a lot of outrage among trump's supporters they are not happy about this mark meadows who was a former white house chief of staff under donald trump he spoke up on fox news saying this is a sad day for america here's what he said. this is a sad day for america but a saturday for. the facebook's of the world who have actually enjoyed a very wild wild west kind of regulatory environment. now it's important to note that back in 2019 before all of this happened mr zucker berg actually said that private companies should not be censoring politicians in what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying it's that they can make their own judgments and you know i don't think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news now at this point donald trump who is widely banned from every major social media outlet he has created a website in which he can communicate with his supporters and in this way he will no longer be reliant on the social media outlets that have removed him here's some of wha

one pertains to mark meadows.believe he would ever drop to his knees and beg for president trump's forgiveness in the same way that he begged for your forgiveness as the speaker of the house? >> i don't think so. it's one of the stranger things i've seen. i was in nashville north carolina during an event and the next day what's he do, he votes against me to be speaker. all right. i was elected, i get over it. so i'm over it and i don't think much about it. first term in congress he wants to come and see me. i don't know any member that wanted too come and see me. come on in. so, he shows up in my office and looks a little nervous, sitting on this couch across from the chair i was sitting in and he started talking but just slid off of this little couch onto his knees onto the floor and put his hands in a prayer position and said mr. speaker, will you forgive me and i said for what. i had long forgotten about the fact that you voted against me. two years later he gets reelected in 2014. it's january, 2015. he votes

joining me now was mark meadows, former trump white house chief of staff and congressman. mark, why did leadership make this leadership to give the number three slot for someone who spends most of her time criticizing the g.o.p. base? >> i think what you will see is the discussion around liz cheney has reached a fever pitch and next week i can't imagine they will continue to support her in the leadership position. when democrats quote liz cheney more than republicans quote liz cheney, or fundamental job and primary job is communication, it's a battle between them and i think we will see some fireworks next week. >> laura: when you have cnn realizing that just because trump was out of office it doesn't mean the voters have abandon him. when is cheney going to get to that? >> we have been asking what is the future of the republican party post trump? the answer is it is not really post trump. we are still in the trump era in the republican party and if liz cheney is in fact ousted in a week that really solidifies this. that tells us pretty clearly where the party is, where the

joining me as mark meadows, former trump white house chief of staff and former congressman, why did leadership make this decision to give the number 3 slot to someone who spends most of her time criticizing the gop base? >> what you will see is the discussion around this cheney has reached a fever pitch and next week i can't imagine they will continue to support in that leadership position. when democrats quote lose cheney more than republicans is cheney and her fundamental job is communication that is the problem, so i think you will see a very different republican conference but it is a battle between the swamp and the america first agenda and one that i think you'll see some fireworks next week. shannon: when you have cnn realizing just because trump is out of office it doesn't mean the voters have abandoned him. when is cheney going to get that? >> what is the future of the republican party post trump and the answer is not really post trump. we are still in the trump era in the republican party and if lose cheney's ousted in a week that solidifies it, tells us where the party is, where the

. >> the former chief of staff to donald trump mark meadows says the cdc communications, it highlights politics involved in the entire reopening of schools. >> it is a scandal. when you have democrat political donors getting on the phone and starting to work with the cdc to put out guidance on school there is a problem. for a year, kamala harris, we need to follow the science. if i heard it once i heard it 1000 times but what did we find out. not only do they follow the science but the money. we've got to get to the point, not only open back schools but listen to parents instead of special interests. 70 what we are seeing is a victim of the american children. >> pfizer is nearing approval for its vaccine from 12 to 15-year-olds. and the biden administration releasing images of a texas facility, as republicans accuse dhs against the crisis. >> >> it is taking it seriously. >> since president biden appointed the borders are and visiting the southwest border. and the national priority, and the surge from northern triangle countries. >> sit sit in poverty. the lack of climate, and climate

joining me is mark meadows former congressman and white house chief of staff. mine texted me today and said in four months this man and his merry band of radicals have done more to harm the american economy and the average american family than any leader in the last hundred years in the united states. >> it has been 110 days of marching to disaster. we are seeing the results right before us. we have high gas prices, high numbers of illegals coming across the southern border, we have israel on high alert, what we have is a biden white house that is so high-minded that they can't even connect with the average american voter to say we understand there is a crisis, all they had to do is plagiarize, i wish president biden would plagiarize one more time that donald trump playbook, we left it there for him and what happened, the american people having to pay the price. shannon: it is never going to happen but he is all from magnanimity and getting along with people supposedly. why doesn't he pick up the phone and say to donald trump i know we don't agree on much but y

they don't change the fact that this country still has not heard details from key players like mark meadowsm to intervene. gop lawmakers held dozens of hearings and witnessed interviews, they got 11 hours of testimonies from hillary clinton and they released an 800-page report. here is congressman mccarthy's justification for that massive effort. >> this benghazi was only created for one purpose. to find the truth on behalf of the families for the four dead americans. >> well, five americans died on january 6th, two capitol police officers died by suicides in the days after. what about their memories and fathers a families? for some republicans, that depends on the political fall-out. >> i think obviously have an interests in seeing a commission going forward others believe it is counter productive because of the work that's done and it could be weaponized politically and drug into next year. >> what happens to just doing the right thing? what about doing the right thing and there was a domestic terror attack in the country. rioters stormed the capitol building and five people killed and th

joining me now is mark meadows, trump white house chief of staff. of mine texted me today and she said in four months, this man and his merry band of radicals have done more to harm the american economy, the average american family, then i think any leader in probably the last hundred years in the united states. >> well, laura, it's been 110 days of marching to disaster. we are seeing the results right before us. think about it, we have high gas prices. we have high numbers of illegals coming across our southern border. we have israel on high alert than what we have is a biden white house that is so high-minded that they can even connect with the average american voter to say listen, we understand there's a crisis. all they had to do is play dress -- and frankly i wish that joe biden would plagiarize one more time of the donald trump playbook. we left it there for him and yet what happens, the american people are having to pay the price. >> laura: i think they should actually -- i mean, it's never going to happen but he is all for magnanimity and ge

making those threats to anyone who didn't vote or mark meadows in the back at the tent. there were all kinds of messages going back and forth that will be able to be subpoenaed. whether they are subpoenaed by an independent commission or democrat committee it is going to be factual and the truth will eventually come out. >> we don't have that information. you'll eventually get it. the question i have, though, is because you spent some time up there on the hill with the sicknicks and brian's partner for so many years, the senate majority leader chuck schumer says republicans voted against this commission out of fear of trump. your observation, is that true? >> well, i certainly do think the republicans, my party, i still am a republican, have allowed him to dominate in a way that to me is ridiculous given he is twice impeached, twice did not get the popular vote, and he divided the country and now is dividing our party. so there is no path forward politically with donald trump at the head of the party. because when you've got 47 -- only 46.9% and then you start subtractin

here is mark meadows on that and what it means for mr. trump's political future?pen very soon. the vast majority of americans want him to throw his hat back in the ring. if i had to place a bet on it i would say he will do exactly that based on my conversations with him. >> but, any potential political come back would depend on facebook's final decision. they have within six months to decide whether or not which he get back on again. even though twitter, which he is still banned from was really the former president's megaphone, facebook is how he raised a lot of money. let's go to peter alexander with more on this. what else are you hearing and what does this mean, do you think, for the former president's political future? >> in terms of what we're hearing is again this anger and frustration directed and big tech arguing that big tech has been specifically targeting conservatives. you heard that the former president that they want to see it broken up. they're saying their frustration with the private company is reason for the federal government to in some form pun

that's how former white house chief-of-staff and republican mark meadows described facebook's board decision to at least for the time being continue to ban former president trump from their platform and instagram as well. the company reasoned thusly on twitter. trump's post during the capitol riots violated facebook's rule and encouraged and legitimized saloons but trump hit back in a statement writing in part, what facebook, twitter and google has done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our country. free speech has been taken away from the president of the united states because the radical left lunatics are afraid of the truth. meanwhile, on capitol hill and beyond, a chorus of republicans joining the former president in a searing serenade of criticism of the tech titans, in some cases calling them a threat to our democracy. texas senator ted cruz tweeting this. disgraceful, for every liberal celebrating trump's social media ban, the bic telling oligarchs can muzzle the former president what is to stop them from silencing you? martha blackburn adding this, facebook's decision to up

jillian: mark meadows says this would never be happening under the trump administration. >> this is notgreatness. this is about american weakness and the biden administration would prefer to sit at 1600 pennsylvania avenue at not do anything. had this been the trump administration and russian hackers were involved this would be the biggest scandal of all time. we would have mainstream media everywhere saying why aren't you doing something? what do we have a the president biden? and incoherent statement about what may or may not have happened and no plan to fix it. jillian: on tuesday the energy secretary acknowledged the best way to transport fuel and his first day in office president biden killed the permit for the keystone pipeline construction. todd: manhunt underway, 9 people in providence rhode island, police believe it is the largest shooting starting with shots fired from a vehicle into a home. dozens -- for 5 guns from two groups known to authorities. no arrests have been made. jillian: a texas constable shop multiple times while chasing two suspects. kevin cordell is being trea

been talking about this for some time that republicans say you have to hold them accountable, mark meadowsing you gotta break them up, he saying that's on the horizon in congress, louisiana senator john kennedy said the like phone companies, common carriers they should be regulated like utilities, let's listen to what senator kennedy had to say about the whole situation. >> those not wishing to reside in lala land, i think we will agree with the facts as i'm about to articulate them. number one, most of the young people in some of the old people running the social media platforms arepr practically bolsheviks speed when he said there bolsheviks, separate from that, maybe not separate, white house press secretary jen psaki said she's indicating social media platforms still have a duty to censor, they have a responsibility to stop amplifying untrustworthy content, what do you say that. >> i disagree, the social media companies have no more duty to censor the newspapers or criticizing government, they have no d such duty to the contrary, what they promised to their users when they joined the p

she would join me in pushing back against mark meadows and jim jordan and mick mulvaney at the time. she was very effective. once that impeachment hearing occurred. that brand changed when she became a trump loyalist. >> what's her play, mike? >> charlie dent and i have lee lehigh university in common. i i remember a class where dr. frank colon said, remember this -- political parties exist for one reason, and that is to win. even though a lot of folks' hair is on fire at the way the gop is playing this hand, it might be a winning hand. don't overlook that. not withstanding the fact that it's untethered to reality. 2020 was in the a bad year for the gop. did well in the house. at least drew to a 50/50 draw in the u.s. senate. picked up a gubernatorial mansion, did better in state legislatures than did democrats. donald trump drives that base, even though he couldn't pull it off. i don't know if charlie will agree with me, but when all is said and done, those republican members of the house don't care if trump wins, they care if they win, and he will drive their base. >> so charlie, a

former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows says it's a big problem. >> it is a scandal. we need to start calling it a scandal. listen, for a year i heard joe biden, kamala harris talk about we need to follow the science. if i heard it once i heard it a thousand times. but what did we find out? the minute they get in power not only are they not following the science, but they are following the money. >> harris: pete hegseth here now and this week's host of fox news prime time at 7:00 eastern time. the cdc taking guidelines and suggestions from the outside group that gave a ton of money to president biden's campaign. just so happens. >> they may just be dating the cdc but married to the white house. no doubt. joe biden isn't where he is without the power of teachers unions and boy, have they gotten a payback now. as you laid out. certain recommendations from the teachers unions were taken as gospel to the cdc. nothing to do with science. not recommendations about in our classrooms our teachers are this far or that far maybe this many feet. these aren't the type of recommen

eric: that's former trump chief of staff, mark meadows on facebook's oversight board's decision to keepormer president, president trump, off the social media platform and instagram for now. the board's co-chair told fox news sunday this morning that that board also believes facebook imposed an improper penalty which was not aligned it says with its own rules. >> mr. trump is subject to the same rules on facebook as everyone else and the oversight board held that this was in fact a violation and thus facebook was justified in taking them down. what we did say, though, was that they were not justified in taking them down indefinitely. they needed some time because their rules are in shambles, they're not transparent. they're unclear. they internally are inconsistent. so we made a series of recommendations about how to make their rules clearer and more consistent. eric: so will they be a allowed back on? republican congressman of colorado, ken buck, joins us now. also a ranking member of the house judiciary subcommittee and anti-trust. congressman, that gives you oversight into all the ins

committee would have subpoena power to get testimony from witnesses ranging from mccarthy himself to mark meadowse president pence. they'd no doubt revisit those subpoenas in court but the longer that delay tactic drags on, the close ter could bring them to the election which is something they desperately want to avoid. the third option is unchartered territory but then so is the attack on our capitol. this idea was laid out by a congressional scholar. the attorney general would appoint a special counsel to investigate the insurrection and sedition given that president biden was a part in the election. they could jeopardize justice department lawyers with subpoena powers to look at digital records surrounding the attack. he would convene a bipartisan citizens commission led by leon panetta and robert gates, jeh johnson or fred townsend to hold public hearings. this would in effect reverse engineer the bipartisan commission that republicans rejected. these alternatives are hardballing, but they are necessary because we cannot allow democracy's norms to be diminished any further. a failure to reaso

today a boxed former chief of staff mark meadows rip the new administration apart due to all of the flip-flopping. no comments are going to hold china accountable. we do not have to look any further than the first 100 days in office to see they are more appeasement mode than they are in an attack mode. we need to get to the bottom of it. just not take 90 days to do it. what it does it takes a top administration at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. kennedy: the same time doctor anthony fauci is not engendering much confidence but for months he claimed exotic animal market was the most likely origin of the virus it is killed three half-million people. today south cohen republican senator lindsey graham asked about the evidence, watch. >> have we found any animals that carry covid-19 that could have been the source of the transmission to humans thus far? >> thus far not perspective what point in time would it become more likely it came from the lab if we do not find an intermediate animal host? how much longer? statement i don't think we can give a time element on that. kennedy: we should know without be a

mark meadows was on with us.behalf of trump that will happen the next two to six weeks, which is very interesting. he has an eye on 2022 to be an influence maker during that campaign. after the mid-terms he will make a decision as to whether or not he's goes for 2024. remember, facebook is where the money is in these campaigns. it's where the influence is. far more than twitter. facebook is critical to donald trump's political future. that's why they appealed. >> martha: here's what he said about running in 2024. watch. >> i look forward to doing an announcement at the right time. as you know, it's very early. i think people are very, very happy when i make a certain announcement. >> martha: he's -- >> he goes there. >> martha: he can't make the announcement. changes the way that they can fund raise. if he were to come out and say i'm running, that would change the way he could raise money. >> the other aspect is congress. there's liberals on the left and conservatives on the right that don't like giving the tech

mark meadows say you have to break them up. that is on the horizon in congress.iana senator john kennedy, they're like phone companies, common carriers, they had need to be regulated like utilities. listen to what senator kennedy had to say about the situation. >> those not wishing to not reside in la-la land, i think will agree with the facts as i'm about to articulate them. number one, most of the young people and some of the old people who are running these social media platforms are practically bolsheviks. elizabeth: okay. he says they're bolsheviks. he said that, separate from that, maybe not separate, we don't know, white house press secretary jen psaki today harmeet said, indicating social media platforms still have a duty to censor. they have the responsibility to amplify, quote, untrustworthy content. what do you say to that? >> i disagree. the social media companies have no more duty to censor that newspapers that criticize the government have a duty to sensor. they have no such duty. to the contrary what they promise to their users when all of us joine

obviously has a massive following, but he has to find a home for them, he was teased when with mark meadows only the posting of the statement on the website, but also another vehicle for which he can redirect his speech is critical to have that outlet to way with your voters and we will see if he is able to manage to do that. >> emily: right, and harris, if you want to step in? >> harris: we are talking about the oversight board and the decision, that was facebook, it did not have to take the suggestion of the oversight board and i was watching just this morning thomas hughes who is the director of facebook's oversight board would ask if facebook is partisan, and he said he couched it, there needs to be greater transparency to help us understand what is going on. that is not an endorsement, but if you can work with the suggestions or the suggested decisions by a board that may not even be in concert at every step, that gives you a little bit of cover and what congressman buck told me last hour of colorado is now and it needs to come as a bunch of facebook's. there needs to be in the interim
