mr. comey: thanks for having me, carol. it's good to be with you. carol: i think this is our second time in this kind of forum, but a lot of things have happened since we last site other. i think we have to immediately go to the astonishing few days we have just experienced. let's go right to some questions about the siege on the capital. tell me off, what is your reaction, what were you thinking when you saw this unfolding on january 6? >> -- mr. comey: i had two different reactions. one i hope every human being had -- i was sickened to see this symbol, this reality of our democracy under armed assault. the second reaction i had was from my career in law enforcement. that was growing anger that it was happening at all. i was mystified the hill was not better defended by a threat that seemed obvious. carol: with your past experience dealing with incidents not like this, but similar, what do you think are the failures of law enforcement in this case? we have the capitol police chief, admitting h

mr. comey is an experienced federal prosecutor, having led the famed southern district of new york as u.s. attorney. his new book is "saving justice: truth, transparency, and trust." mr. comey, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, ari. >> starting with the security concerns, given your knowledge of the fbi, when it states that there are, quote, credible threats going into this weekend and prosecutors say they see a, quote, insurrection in progress, what does that mean? >> it means that the threat you see on your television screens and the disturbing images you just showed there are part of an enormous effort of radicalized people to do harm to our democracy. thousands of people across this country, maybe even millions who have been radicalized by a torrent of lies just the way islamic fundamentalists were radicaled by the islamic state and they pose a threat. >> let me read some of what "the washington post" is reporting as you make that comparison. law enforcement saying extremists

mr. comey, we want to bring you in to this new experience. your new book is "saving justice: truth, transparency, and trust." we're hoping we can have a longer interview maybe on the other side of the may yr's briefing. but it is startling to here there are so many people on this watch list and there wasn't enough security to retain them. stand by. the mayor is briefing right now. >> -- to provide an update on preparations for the 59th presidential inauguration which by now everyone knows has an unprecedented level of preparation and execution. i am joined by members of my administration as well as our federal partners. let me start by introduing matt miller, the special agent in charge of the washington field office of the united states secret service. the united states secret service is of course the lead agency for national special security events, including the 59th inauguration. mary ann tierney, the regional administrator for the federal emergency management agency. we'll har from miss tierney, but she will have to depart following her

. >> the letter that you mentioned to mr. comey was sent on sunday night september 20, 2016. that were being pushed by the democrats and also explained that i had worked or alluded to the fact that i had worked for the cia and the fbi in the past which was another topic of conversation at senate judiciary last week. liz: misleading the fisa court about carter page, misleading the fisa court about the anti-trump steele dossier and the problem so that, your final word. >> i think there's a lot to look at the inspector general did not draw the ultimate current occlusions that durham did. they said there's no evidence of acting unbiased, they would literally need a confession to conclude there was, durham does not need a confession he needs to find out the instances that he can draw and hold people accountable like jim comey who knew better and director of the fbi. liz: jim trusty, thank you for joining us. we really appreciate it. we are coming into the bottom of our you are watching the fox business network. next up the story, top republican senator chuck grassley is now demand

. >> my letter that you mentioned to mr. comeyght, september 25th, 2016, and i laid it all out. i explained all of the lies that were being pushed by the democrats. and also explained that i was, that i had worked or alluded to the fact that i had worked for both the cia and the fbi in the past. so which was another topic of conversation at senate judiciary last week. elizabeth: so misleading the fisa court about carter page. misleading the fisa court about the anti-trump steele dossier and the problems with that your final word? >> i think there is a lot to look at. the inspector general didn't draw the ultimate conclusions that durham good. they said there is no evidence of acting on bias. they would literally need a confession to conclude there was. durham doesn't need a confession. he needs to drill down, find out inferences he can logically draw, like jim comey new better as a former doj official and director of the fbi. elizabeth: jim trusty, thanks for joining us. really appreciate it. >> sure, see ya. elizabeth: we're comi

mr. trump's gone former fbi director james comey says the entire republican party has to be quote burnednd before can be rebuilt. i bet steve cortez has something to say about that your key joins me next hour. the matchup is set as tom brady returns to the super bowl for the 10th time to take on the defending champions kansas city chiefs. joe is here with his game day predictions. a gun, bernie sanders has raised a lot of cash off the spiral inauguration moment. i think it's all about the mittens. we have the story coming up. ♪♪ sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. they were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. i got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ stuart: some individual stocks are the subject of extraordinary volatility today. game stop in particular, one spot it was halted for trading because of the volatility. it's back being traded now and up 47%. let's bring in steve-- stephen schork. he's our guy this hour on oil. will, president biden stopped the keysto

comey and mccabe about the general michael flynn investigation and records related to steele's contact with state department officials. just some of the documents and some of the documents we'd like, mr john solomon, best selling author, great american. you i know, john, have actually seen some of these documents, and you have been, just like me, as interested in their being made public, released to the public. let's start with the question why do you believe it hasn't happened to this point? >> i think it's the same bureaucracy that started four years ago and three months trying to hamper this president even before he became president. they have slow ared the processes down -- slowed the processes down. they've made excuses why documents can't be released, sources and methods. there's many ways to get the essence of the information out. so i think the bureaucracy has slow-walked all the way through this process. there's been a lot of progress made. 90% of the documents on that list of 40 you just mentioned i put out on "just the news" are declassified, they just need to be released. about 10% a are a awaiting foot-dragging by bureaucrats, but he should be able to deliver this, one o

mr trump. but a peaceful transfer of power still feels very fragile. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. james comey director of the fbi until he was fired by president trump in 2017. he told the bbc mr trump should be removed from office. i think it would be good for our country if he were, because it would send a signal that this is absolutely beyond the pale, unacceptable behaviour by any american leader. i think the united states congress had to serve notice of this behaviour even though it is coming at the end of his term needed a permanent historic mark and i think they made the right decision. let's speak now to dr brian klaas, associate professor in global politics at the university college london and a columnist for the washington post. good to have you with us, as ever. your take on this historic vote and what might it tell us about how the trial in the senate might unfold? this is a historic vote. impeachment of a president has happened four times in american history, back to the 1700s. two of those times have been for donald trump. it is a truly extraordinary marker in history. if you go
