scalise and mccarthy actually came to gather.rly hear the speaker and schumer trying desperately with hoyer to reach governors in surrounding states. trying to speak to the mayor of washington, d.c.. trying to get anybody and everybody to deploy national guard to safeguard the capital, to save our colleagues, to stop our country from being decimated by these insurrectionists and destroying any stability our democracy could have. i vividly remember standing in front of the tv as the first images were being displayed as the insurrectionists broke into the capitol with scalise by my side. him uttering these words. how shocking these people are animals. for him to then turn around and so fraudulently and so cowardly say, we have unanswered questions about the involvement of speaker pelosi. when he was in the room, has she desperately tried to save our democracy. urge any leader within the white house that she could reach to try to do something. to get the president to get these people to back off. to deploy the national guard. as you

outrageous that steve scalise is going, are we going to get out of this alive or not, and scalise is in there. and then scalise holds a press conference and this committee is -- we can't be on this committee because, you know, they won't even ask the question did nancy ever call the national guard. scalise was there when she was saying, hey, pretend like this was the pentagon. pretend like this is the white house. do something now. >> yeah, i mean, it is staggering to see that clip. that's footage, by the way, we had not scene behind the scenes of not just speaker pelosi but many members of congress, many democrats doing what president trump was not doing in that moment, which was trying to rally the national guard, trying to get people there from the military to stop the attack on the capitol. so what we saw was nancy pelosi on the call pressing for the national guard to get to the capitol. steve scalise, as you said, knew that because he was right there when it happened in the background, watching as democrats pleaded for help. as you say, there he is on the left, highlighted on ou

kevin mccarthy, steve scalise, no one condones on the democratic side was condoning steve scalise beinghot by a left wing protester. >> if you conflate protests and violence, they are not the same thing. >> i want to address something governor scalise said. he said i was in the bubble asking questions about inflation. does this have an impact? doesn't? i have to tell you, i saw a lot of nancy pelosi attack ads yesterday. >> it's not going to change. we are not going to see these ads pulled down at all. listen, we will know in a week and a half whether there is -- what is the motivator. and of course the economy is a huge motivator for people. but in these swing districts that i have been to, a lot of voters, independents that haven't made their mind up yet still bring up democracy, still bring up trump and his behavior and not wanting to vote for republicans because they know that extremism could continue on capitol hill. >> well, we also need to know there are 80 ads and in every senate race where democrats are targeting mitch mcconnell. since you are going to mention the ads about pel

. >> i should point out steve scalise, congressman scalise, he had the audacity to -- i think he gaveference sort of indicate that go speaker pelosi didn't want the national guard called in, was trying to hold off the national guard and he was in the friggen room listening in to her on the phone. i mean, you see him in the video. none of the republicans want to be on this video that's being taken by alexandra pelosi. they don't want her phone calls to be heard. they don't want anyone to hear what they're saying. steve scalise was in the room and knew what nancy pelosi -- saw schumer and pelosi trying to mobilize national guard resources, trying to get, you know, city police resources mobilized. i mean, that's really sleazy. >> i mean, he and mccarthy are like happening on the edges of that conversation. they know what's going on. they weren't paying attention to the fact there was a video going on. what a resounding baseless nature of what's going on. this changes the official record of what we know was happening behind the scenes. fascinating document. i'm glad it's out. it's disappo

i follow scalise on twitter.nt out that he had tried to reach nancy pelosi and offered his prayers to her. i mean, i think that republicans were quick to condemn the violence. look, we've got a -- we're often out there, we all hit town halls when the health care debate was raging, there was an effort to repeal health care. that was a very challenging time. that was my freshman year in congress. and the town halls got out of hand. i had several get out of hand, even in my rural kentucky district. so this is a terrible thing. our thoughts go out to the pelosi family. hopefully the attacker will be put in jail for a long time. >> all right, we could go on about this. but there's a lot of other topics to talk about, congressman. i want to talk about the economy. republicans, including you, have slammed democrats for rising inflation. americans are hard hit, no doubt about it. i was just in kentucky where you are now, talking to kentuckians. and they all talked about the rising prices. but we're also seeing inflation

. >> also i should point out steve scalise, congressman scalise, he had the audacity to i think he gaven't want the national guard called in, was trying to hold off having the national guard and he was in the friggen room listening in to her on the phone. i mean you see him in the video. none of the republicans want to be on this video. it's being taken by alexandria pelosi. i guess they don't want their phone calls heard. god forbid they don't want anybody to hear what they're saying. but steve scalise was in the room and knew what nancy pelosi -- saw schumer and pelosi trying to mobilize national guard resources, trying to get city police sources mobilized. i mean that's really sleazy. >> i mean, he and mccarthy are like hanging on the edges of that conversation. clearly they know exactly what's going on -- i guess paying attention to the fact there's a video running. what a resounding reputation to all those baseless allegations they threw against her. so this thing really changes the official record as it were as to what we know happened behind the scenes. it's fascinating document.

here's the difference, there was no advertising campaign by democrats saying that steve scalise ought to be shot. showing steve scalise inside of targets like they did with people like speaker pelosi, like they have done with president obama. he was not being hung in effigy. democrats were not leading a campaign saying that to be a patriot you need to consider those people to be a lethal threat to you and that you need to have a gun. you need to have as big a gun as you can get and go out and do target practice because those democrats, dot dot dot. that's the difference. you have a political party that is now running on the idea that true patriotism is to take up arms against the democrats because they are somehow your enemy and evil and that anything is possible because they are a bunch of what are they doing, qanon, they're saying they're hiding children in their basements to abuse them. why wouldn't somebody say, you know what, if i'm going to save the children, i guess i have to take up a gun? they're using this as politics. that's dangerous, clint. >> yeah, and it's not equal. sa

course, the steve scalise comments. i think you're a lucky manky ma senator , because you exposingyo that record means you will winc the state of wisconsin. shawn, you're right. hiawn, you're right. he's a radical leftist, butdis he's hiding in sheep's clothing . and , of course, he's gotourse, the media that's amplifyin hg the lies he's telling about me. he raised twenty million dollars this last quarter. so we're going to need the resources. ron johnson, for .com to tell the truth about mandella, barnes. but you mentioned the the security. he he used the state patrol over six hundred thousand dollars. it cost through, i think, last november, 13 and a half hours.5 per day, hours seven days a wee5 days a year. t so so this is somebodyforcem who wants to defund police.enhe he's hostile to law's enforcement. haphe's happy to use them as hs personal chauffeur. chauffeur service all around s the state and outat of state as well. so he's a hypocrite. he's a radical leftist. he leeds to needs to be defeat. but i'm going to ne

steve scalise was injured. we seen this stretch back to 2011 when gabby giffords, the arizona democratic congresswoman shot in the head having a public event. we've seen this level of threat rise. members will recognize this. we've seen changes in the way the members of congress deal with it. they're allowed to use taxpayer money to beef up their own personal sec cooursecurity. not everyone has to or does do that. not everyone travels with their own security that's only afforded to the leadership. we have seen january 6th committee members for instance have their own secure detail amid concerns of threats they, too, are receiving in the recent months. this is a different political environment. it happened in the past but undoubtedly escalatescalating. members are feeling it and reacting saying they are horrified by the events of last night. >> andrew, as you heard from john and earlier throughout our programming today as we covered it that at least police coverage seems to be strained here and that there is not

>> again, i never saw anyone after steve scalise was shot -- >> i'm talking about right now. >> equate -- >> what's happening now. >> equate democratic rhetoric with those actions. >> please don't do that. >> looking at your candidates, republican candidates have spent more than $116 million on ads that mention speaker pelosi by name in this cycle. if this is about the issues, why don't you make it about the issues? why not depersonalize it? >> it is absolutely about the issues. it's about the fact that we have double digit inflation -- >> you don't think -- >> -- exploding cost of living. we've got a crime wave across this country that is a direct result -- >> in this moment we are eight days out. don't you think this needs to change? why not pull some ads? why not delete your tweet? >> i'm sure people would like to talk about anything but what the democrats have done to this country, which is exploding cost of living, exploding crime wave which is defund the police and cashless bail. you look at new york city where you put someone in jail at 9:00 p.m. for assaulting someone on the st

steve scalise said the right thing. the problem is you can't say it once.e to say it over and over again and mean it, which means you're telling your supporters. >> the rhetoric is important and matters but social media, disinformation and negative sentiment spreads six times more powerfully and quickly than being positive. and again, the incentives right now are disproportionately empowering people on extreme. there are politicians that are responding to that and gets the money and gets them fame and getting them appeal. if you don't change the incentives, you'll see more and more of this. that's what we've been experiencing. trump was a catalyst for sure but the trends are building and just going to continue after trump reseeds from the scene. >> you need stronger takedown policies on the part of social media companies for some extremist rhetoric that incites more of their supporters. >> these are exactly the structural fixes we should dig into. i'm tired of saying look, if we said the right thing, all of this would go away. it will not. it's here to stay

look at steve scalise getting shot.nd all this culture, burning buildings -- it has nothing to do with trump. it is just fanatics being fanned by politics, and joe biden certainly did not help yesterday, going on about republicans, this and that. he has nothing else to run on. one other thing, i wonder if they will let him out on a no cash bond, which seems to be going on. that is about all i have. host: let's talk to debbie in west virginia, independence line. caller: good morning. how are you? host: good. caller: i just have one thing to say. donald trump did not start this violence. this violence was going on far before donald trump. but it got worse when donald trump was elected. i owe that problem to what the fbi did. the fbi did everything they could to control the election against donald trump. and they continued. all these years, they have continued. and they are still after donald trump. what about joe biden? why is he coming on the air, putting all republicans down, saying all republicans are fascists? that is

you saw it happen to steve scalise.ened when they wanted to get the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, they wanted to kidnap her. i went through a death threat last year. we have to get back to a place where there is common ground and we can get things done together and president obama that's his message tonight and georgia and the other states he will be going to. >> we are watching barack obama finish up in georgia now, leave the stage. he seems to be enjoying the moment right now. what kind of an impact do republicans think that barack obama can make? is there something that he does that scares you? >> not in particular. before i address the politics of president obama's campaigning, i wanted to address what the governor said. i agree wholeheartedly with everything he said. what happened to the pelosi household and mr. pelosi is terrible. it's disgusting. i'm very concerned in our politics that we are starting to treat politicians like something less than human, like they are not entities, you know, human entiti

joining us now, steve scalise.e back to "fox news sunday." >> good morning, shannon. great to be with you. >> let's start here. democrats point to your own documents to tell americans you are preparing to cut entitlements. here's what the headline is. house gop decides slashing is the new saving. this year's republican study committee's fiscal year 2023 budget openly calls for slashing and private advertising social security, raising retirement age to 70, ending medicare as we know it. i got a tweet from a viewer that says he is a republican, very worried about you cutting his medicare. he says it is a deal breaker, any deal by the gop. what's your answer? >> the answer is that's a typical red herring by democrats and it is not something we proposed. in fact, we proposed strengthening, shoring up medicare and social security which are both headed for bankruptcy if we do nothing. democrats want to make it worse. democrats recently passed a bill to raid money out of social security. instead of making programs less st

>> well, it starts with what we saw in the matter with scalise whmpt scalise was shot, what did the democratstance you're looking at not just mcconnell in an individual statement but to have the entire leadership standing there with kevin mccarthy, with the caucus leaders, with the leadership in the senate, with the political leadership of the party, meaning the rnc, all of them are saying the same thing condemning the violence and making clear this is not what we should be about. so an individual republican can make a statement and, yes, it's important that it's mitch mcconnell who made the statement, but an even more powerful moment is to have that visual with the entire leadership standing together saying, this is not who we are. this is not what we want this to be about. and until you get that, it goes to what your guest was saying before. unless you have someone -- unless you have that effort on the republican side completely and holistically and sincerely, you're not -- you're not going to have a change. i mean, where's the clap back on what the tailor greene's are saying. even in the m

will speak live with the number to a public it in the house congressman steve scalise about his party's plan should they take the majority. then. >> this investigation is not about politics. >> the committee investigating the generally six the right at the capitol votes to subpoena former president trump just ahead of the midterms. what we will ask our sunday pen about the 11th hour move and whether trump would comply. then. >> these artifacts have never been on display here before but. >> the most secretive buildings in the country opens up and are jennifer griffin takes you there to tour its treasures. alt right now on fox news sunday. ♪ six and hello from foxnews in washington. voters are weeks away from speaking their mind in the 2022 midterms. top lights from the box polls show present approval be critical for democrats. right now since a 46%. that's up six points from june. democrats still face serious headwinds check it out. 79% said they are extremely or very concerned about crime. you are, 71% say the same about abortion policy. a whopping 89% say they are extremely or very con

when scalise was shot. to the republicans not speaking out now, let me say this.this is going to be visited on our side not that it matters what side you're on. but speak out now. >> so, some did tweet today. i was just saying former vice president pence did tweet that there's no toll tolerance for public officials he called it an outrage. but then there's governor glen youngken who for some sends had compassion then immediately pivoted back to rhetoric. here's that moment. >> speaker pelosi's husband, they had a break -in last night in their house. we're going to send her back to be with him in california. >> the fact is america is more polarized than it's been in generations where almost half of democrats regard republicans as corrupt and a threat to the country. and the same number of democrats feel the same way about the other side of the party. unfortunately this is going to get worse rather than better. we need structural reform like a shift rank voting and nonpartisan primaries that would dis empower incentives at least in one of the major parties if not bo

and of course, the steve scalise comments. think you're a lucky man, senator, because you exposing that record means you will win the state of wisconsin. >> well, sean, you're right. he's a radical leftist, but he's hiding in sheep's clothing. of course, he's got the media that amplifying the lies he's telling about me. but you mention the security that he views the state patrol. over $600,000. 13.5 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. this is somebody who wants to defund police. he's hostile to law enforcement. and yet he's happy to use them as his personal chauffeur service all around the state. and out of state as well. so he's a hypocrite. he's a radical leftist. he needs to be defeted but i'm going to anying the resources. ronjohnsonforsenate.com. >> obviously, that's the case. are people of wisconsin fully aware of that record that i just outlined? in other words, do they know it? are they being told? is it coming out? will you have debates with him? >> i think there has been a shift in the polls because trut

scalise was there, trying to bring order along with chuck schumer.it was bipartisan among the congressional leaders to try and take some responsibility while the president watched the riot unfold on tv. >> the rights, was that determined by her daughter? >> no, it was others, but i'm not going to get into all that. our lawyers can tell you more about it than me. but we have the rights, and i think cnn has obtained some rights to show more than we were able to. >> i want to get your response to something that a former trump administration official, gavin smith, who has been very critical of donald trump, something that he told cnn this morning. here it is. >> in my time working for donald trump, one thing i learned is simply donald trump can't avoid a show. if the committee carried this on national television, i'm not convinced he wouldn't show up for simply the fact that he could say he had the best ratings, all the things that donald trump likes to say. so i think there is a question of, will he? i'm not sure. does he want to? yes, i think he does.

all of us should condemn it all the time. >> as steve scalise said today it should be condemned as you say all the time by both sides, every party all the time. i want to finish with elon musk, the financial website "market watch had the elon musk will destroy freedom of speech, not protected. are you buying that, steve? >> it's just so laughable, isn't it. the word orwellian is so overused when they say the exact opposite of the words they use, the exact opposite of what they mean. what have we come to where actually there are serious people, serious outlets, politicians, leaders, people on other news outlets who genuinely seem to think that restricting speech and not allowing controversial opinions on subjects such as the pandemic or anything else is part of the democratic process and it's part of protecting free speech. it is totally mad. alfie asked rose and the reason they are hysterical because they got to rely on a system where they have the levers of influence in the media and social media to protect their arguments from real challenge and real facts and if you just censor peop

but republicans understand, steve scalise was shot.en they know what the -- what the cost is here. >> steve scalise spoke out against the attack on paul pelosi. >> he did. >> he did. >> kevin mccarthy did too but yesterday in an interview he said it wasn't fair to blame the rhetoric for this escalating political violence. and we had a chairwoman saying it was a result of democratic justice policies not rhetoric. >> time for soul searching, but i feel like we say that a lot. thank you for being with us. >>> the tax fraud trial of the trump organization ramps up today with the opening statements and first witnesses. >>> russians attacking critical infrastructure facilities in kyiv overnight leaving thousands in the dark. we are there live. what makes everystearnsr so incredibly comfortable? the attention detail, that combines time honored craftsmanship... ...and luxurious materials... ...for a mattress that feels as good as it looks. now, enjoy king sized comfort for a queen sized price on select stearns & foster mattresses. hybrid work

i remember the attack on steve scalise and other republicans on baseball fields.his has been spiraling up. at the highest levels of government from the highest levels of political leadership, you're telling people, these people are enemies of the state. they stole the election from you. of course you will activate people to do things like this. >> abby, we often january 6th, watching that happened, that would be a turning point, that would change the tenor of things to,. then you see this happen today, you would like to think this would have an impact. if january 6th didn't, why would this today? >> reporter: quite the opposite. january 6th actually has turned into something that has become kind of a rally cry of a lot of conservatives. it is kind of shocking. i think if you lived through january 6th, you watched what happened, to understand when you look at the grassroots of the republican base, they view january 6th, its assailants as he rose. you have a former president in donald trump going out on campaign rallies. when he goes on campaign rallies right now, h

mandela barnes came out and went after -- mocked steve scalise for getting shot.fusing to apologize. i'm going to put this on the screen. his nonapology apology says this is a very personal topic for me as someone who's experienced and ended up losing friends and loved ones to gun violence. my comments came from a place of frustration with politicians like ron johnson. can you imagine republicans going after someone like gabby giffords and mocking her? it wouldn't be -- it would be entirely different reaction. >> first debate is this friday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. going to see sparks flying. it's a must hold seat for republicans. it would be a nice pickup opportunity. the democrats kind of coalescing around the lieutenant governor. it's a three or four-point race. we'll see how he talks about that. hitting anyone running for office watching the program, delete your twitter account if you plan to run. delete anything controversial. it's certainly going to come up. >> trace: ron johnson is using it right now. >> absolutely in that race is getting away from democrats.

manu mentioned when steve scalise was severely injured when he was trying to practice for a baseballhat somebody was trying to hurt justice kavanaugh. it wasn't just on capitol hill, it was at the supreme court. when leader mcconnell tweets that he's horrified and disgusted about what occurred today, and nancy pelosi has received outreach from both democrats and republicans, i'm told, from one republican source, who said to me, i am sick about this. this isn't about politics. and i think that -- i think the question we all have to ask is, what's the level of acceptability of any of this? have we just learned to live with this? political violence in this country has been on the rise for the last year. some say it's since 2016. some say particularly since after january 6th. as manu was pointing out, not every member of congress has the security that nancy pelosi is entitled to as speaker. and i think that they're all feeling the danger of this. whether you're a democrat or republican because it's happened on both sides of the aisle, quite frankly. nancy pelosi is a well-known figure, s

look, i understand both sides kind of argument, because obviously somebody on the left did shoot scalise at a baseball practice. but what is happening is right now certainly if the fbi and why they're warning about potential problems around the midterms is because of the stuff related to the 2020 election, that is driving a lot of people to believe that this election is about to be stolen and there is nothing to indicate there is anything wrong with our systems right now, that it is, you know, one of the safest election systems in the world. and yet people have this -- it is just driving this idea that, you know, again, everything from covid to babies' blood being -- things like that are just driving a lot of people. >> it would be bad enough if it were just the election conspiracies. but i want to show you a sampling of what's been happening on trump's platform, truth social. these are examples of some of the posts he's been putting on. you've got the election conspiracies. there is one on the screen there that you can sort of see. at the bottom. it is a retweet of a post and on that po

the great thing about covering -- we saw what happened to gabby giffords, we saw what happened to scalise this case, the softball practice, but i wonder if you have heard anything about how the security protocols might be thought about after this? >> yeah. there is a lot of conversation from members of congress that i'm talking to on what needs to happen next. but this has been a conversation that has been happening for a long time ever since january 6th, this really came into focus. they have put more money towards security, because there have been reports that since 2016, there has been 100 and 7% increase and threats against members of congress. so they tried to better fund it, they tried to hire more capital police officers. but there is a shortage. there is a shortage of manpower, of women power, and does the security extend to the families? that is something that is not currently available. of course, the conversation is happening but nothing concrete yet, chris. >> thank you, we appreciate it, joining me on set, abc news senior reporter ben collins who has been doing some reporting

both mccarthy and scalise have said this. and you can't deny that, scott. they have said -- >> they're not cutting social security, they're not cutting medicare. >> they have said it out loud. >> they are going to stop out of control spending that's driven the country into an inflationary spiral. that is true. they're not cutting entitles. >> jim, why don't you fact check it. you can see, there's plenty of coverage of it. >> there was a fact check this week. joe biden has been saying the same -- and "the washington post" fact checker fact checked him this week and said he was not telling the truth. the bottom line is, it's a scare tactic. you've been around democratics all country. >> to be continued. >> why doesn't cnn fact check me. >> i was going to say, scott, i do believe that senator rick scott, who was head of the republican senate campaign committee, he has also talked about revisiting social security, medicare, as a part of the platform of the nrsc. >> there is not a single republican candidate in the country running for office on cutting social se

mcconnell, scalise, truman, we were all in that room working on that.when we came in the other room when i spotted him, all of these voices, and that nobody in that room, or at least the democrats, we're not doing what needed to be done, to preserve the integrity of the peaceful transfer of power. i'm so glad that people are getting to see all this video. that they now see that we were doing what was necessary, and we did not have any support from the white house to get it done. >> right now, the images that you are showing, i don't know if you can see it, it's a leadership adult, bipartisan leadership puddle, and bicameral. so, you've got senate, house, republican democrats, all around. and in the image that is sort of slightly more zoomed out, you can see steve scalise. he's wearing, i think, an american flag mask. you know, he would later go on to basically say, and this became a republican talking point, that has been off repeated, you see him right there, over and over again, that somehow, nancy pelosi was responsible, that nancy pelosi, she declin

was -- while she was doing constituent services, she was out in a parking lot, i think about steve scalise, i covered that story. he was in a public place. they were preparing, practicing for the congressional baseball game. then on january 6th they went into members of congress home away from home, they breached the capitol. now they have literally gone into the home of, as you say, the person who is second in line after the president of the united states. tell us where these conversations have been and where you think they're going in light of what happened. >> frank brings up an extremely good point here, the capitol police is spread exceedingly thin. more members of congress than ever before have capitol police details, people who travel with them inside and outside of washington. there's been a spate of retirements and departures from the capitol police post-january 6th. it's been hard for the force to keep police officers because of what happened on january 6th. that's what police officers tell us all the time. there's been talk going back years, 12 years since the violence in the su
