number two, couple things to what trey gowdy was saying. andy mccarthy, former federal prosecutor, fox news contributor and all right great dude, just like trey. he wrote a column that said the 25th amendment applies to a health crisis, period. you can't just say that there's a mental health crisis at play. it doesn't work like that. let's wipe it off the slate. "the wall street journal" today and editorial notes that in terms of impeachment, if you're talking about bringing the country together and healing, it's not a good idea for the democrats to push impeachment who have zero credibility on it. the abuse of impeachment just a year ago, if you will. this is, the journal wrote "they are already talking about the democrats for impeachment articles that include a litany of anti-trump grievances. over four years." and then you have the russia cofallacy, the fable that was pushed by jerry nadler and adam schiff. they would be potentially in charge of it. that would not be a healing moment for the country. if that's what they are really interes

let's bring in trey gowdy. been a lot of talk over the last 48 hours, especially as the republicans lost those two runoff seats. where does the party go from here? tom cotton was on "fox & friends" this morning. >> we spent too much time on other matters, saying, senator per u.n. leffler could be that checking balance. we have to pick ourselves up off the electoral playing field, dust ourselves off and get going because the democrats have extremely small margins, but they have a radical agenda and we have to be prepared to provide a check and balance on that agenda and get ready for the next election which is always just two years away. >> dana: not too long out of congress, but a chance to step back and have a bigger picture. how do you see things? >> part of politics is telling voters how bad the other side is is, but that's all i hear now. i think voters want to hear, what do we believe, why do we believe it, and then engage in that difficult task of persuading people that our ideas are better. i'm not naive

trey gowdy, thank you, jonathan turley, thank you. it is dark, but you can see a little bit of what is happening. everybody at home, they are pushing people back away from the capital to secure it. the re-entrance for mike pence to use preside over the certification of the electoral college for the state and the country of the presidential election of 2020. so if you are just joining us, and if you perhaps missed what happened today, here are just some of the shocking scenes where people broke into the windows and pushed back the capitol police up the staircases and plowed their way into protest and riot inside the united states capitol building. it was just an absolutely astonishing site that we saw today. and you know, we talked to kylie kremer before, she was at the early rally this morning and had her own reasons for being there and wanting to protest the election. but what we saw was something wholly different from any of those motivations. so moments ago, those are the mahogany boxes that contained sealed certificates of the ele

so i want to bring in trey gowdy, former republican congressman and a prosecutor as well. good afternoon to you. want to get your initial reaction to all the information that they just delivered there, trey. >> find them all, charge them all. investigations are hard. you have are to one up them in court. being in politics is easy. you have to allege it. being in court is hard. you have to prove it. let me finish by saying this. the republican party has always positioned itself as the party of law and order. great. if you have information about any up with that is part of the siege of the capitol, you have an obligation to share it or else stop calling yourself part of the law and order party. if you have information, share it with the cops. >> bill: back to the online threats. they said toward the beginning, we're not sure if it was key bravado or intent to harm. this is the question. how do investigators determine that? how tricky could that be? should capitol police have been not just notified but make sure that they received the message on the other end? in other words,

former congressman trey gowdy is standing by with more on the investigation.live to the justice department. >> from a safety standpoint the headline for the highest levels of law enforcement is that four people died yesterday. the woman shot inside the capitol on the house side and three people died outside due to medical emergencies, no doubt that is top of mind for those officials. let's talk about those explosive devices. the good news they did not go off but our authentic. authorities found two pipe bombs, one outside the democratic national committee and one outside the republican national committee and a molotov cocktail but they didn't explode. we want to show you 1-800-call fbi. they're looking for tips now. f.b.i. agents stormed the capitol building after rioters gained access to the complex. they'll be out and about today at the direct sure of director christopher wray. irt shows the faces of criminals sitting in the house and senate chamber. some are casually posing for pictures. others taking it all in looking over and over. authorities are trying

. >> martha: troy murdoch and trey gowdy, thank you very much for being here tonight. the president-elect joe biden set to unveil his "american rescue plan" and he will soon bear the burden of rescuing those businesses that have suffered under the covid one. he's talking about 2 trillion more in taxpayer-funded really packages and he's also tackling the task of the painfully slow rollout of these vaccines. jacqui heinrich joins us as we leave the speech tonight >> good evening to you. the american rescue plan has a price tag of $1.9 trillion. it will be followed in a couple of months by the american recovery plan. and that's a $1400 direct payment to americans that would bring the total relief to $2,000 on top of december $600 payment. and extends it and that provide subsidies for child care costs and mandatory paid leave and increases the child tax credit from 2000-3000 per year with an additional money for kids under the age of six. it also extends the foreclosure moratorium and gets a rental assistance to qualifying people. more than 1 trillion of qualifying people

we've, we also have this, conservative columnist marc thiessen, former house oversight chair trey gowdy, it started when president told supporters go to the capitol, it will them to do the right thing. show strength. tom cotton, dan crenshaw multiples individuals are condemning the president for that. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer saying invoke the 25th amendment. remove the president now. seven officials resigning from the trump administration including transportation secretary elaine chao, first cabinet woman to do that, wife of mitch mcconnell. listen to senators lindsey graham, rand paul, liz cheney, ric grenell right now. let's take a listen. >> this heightened tension that everything has been stolen you know led to this feeling that nobody believes there is any integrity anymore. so they're just going to riot. >> we've had a hell of a journey. i hate i had being this way. oh, my god i hate it. from my point of view he has been a consequential president but today, first thing you will see, all i can say is count me out, enough is enough. >> well i mean, look, i think what is importan

and trey gowdy on the big tech shutdown. where does it end? top of the hour here.mmer reporting. >> dana: republicans looking ahead after losing control of the senate. senator rick scott tells fox news, in 2022 what people are going to focus on is what's good for their family. my job is to explain to them that what the democrats want to do is not as good for their family as what republicans want to do. i think that's what's going to matter. josh, i want to show you one thing. from the ap today, i thought this was pretty eye opening today. they did this report that said 112 republicans reached out to the election office in lancaster pennsylvania to change their party affiliation. in cumberland county, pennsylvania, that was 179 that changed to a different party, democrat, independent or third party. same thing in lynn county, iowa. seems to be happening in many places. i wonder what you think about where the gop thought they were a week ago to where they are now. >> yeah, this is a bad sign for republicans. the party is in the middle of what looks like a future civi

foxy's intruder and former south carolina revisited trey gowdy joins us to discuss this.for being here. it's very interesting to watch nancy pelosi's treatment of this republican race, this republican win by six votes in iowa. she's calling a provisional member of congress at this point. >> she may be disingenuous but she's not stupid. she's not going to refuse to sit someone to want to have the vote certified a couple of days before house and senate republicans try peach the election results from november. it would not surprise me at all after tomorrow if nancy pelosi does not have the house administration referred to the floor 600 times, martha, in our country's history there have been contested election and the most always the vote is on party lines. that is sad to come it is regrettable. the republican won according to the certified vote but it would not surprise me if later on down the line the house vote in seats the democrat. >> bret: you know, trey, it's bret. good evening. what's happening in washington, the challenge that's going to happen tomorrow, what is your

even today it was too much for trey gowdy, he was surprised web the anchor on fox he was talking to seemed not to make the connection between the president's speech yesterday and the rioters storming the capitol. >> who told them to dhoo that? >> did you hear the speech? did you listen to the president's speech yesterday? >> i did. >> then you tell me. who said that? who said go fight? who blamed mike pence? who blamed republicans? who said the election was stolen? >> shortly before that moment fox anchor brian killmeade admitted, "the president's behavior has been terrible since the election." any case, 13 days before the end of the administration, it's a little late in the game, which as we saw and we're still seeing is no game at all. >> but what we witnessed yesterday was not dissent. it was not disorder. it was not protest. it was chaos. they weren't protesters. don't dare call them protesters. they were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrori terrorists. it's that basic. that's that simple. and i wish we could say we couldn't see it coming. that isn't true. we could see it
