the political resurrection of trey gowdy, i called one of your friends. he said call me mr. chairman also this evening. but we have to be gracious in the moment. i hope kellyanne, there will be democrats that will want to reach out to president trump and reach out to republicans in the senate. we'll see what happens with the house. again, we haven't declared anything. >> bret: there's the caveat. bill hemmer, we're waiting on georgia. right? >> waiting on a lot of things. >> and waiting on pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. why georgia, do you think? >> let me pop down there. had a nice map set up for you guys. >> bret: i'm sorry. >> i can come back to it. here's georgia. all right? here's remaining vote. what i see is a lot of the vote in atlanta is in the metro area is in. there's fractions here and fractions there. i see chatham, savannah. it's not a small county. it's got about a third of the votes remaining as well. we're not quite settle up for the vote margin there. >> bret: go back to pennsylvania. i want to check in. >> it's okay. when i was poking around here a mom

. >> former republican congressman, now fox news weekend host trey gowdy, a republican as i noted, had this warning for president elect trump. take a listen. this is from today do not use the justice system as a weapon. >> and the message for republicans is don't do it. on the other side either. with this absurd a.g. pick that you just made the justice is different it is a combination of policy law, and also morality. you do not use our justice system as a political weapon. voters rejected it in november and they're going to reject it if republicans try to do it. also, some things rise above the din. the justice system is one of those things. >> so the other side of that argument is elon musk tweeted, matt gaetz has three critical assets that are needed for the a.g. role. a big brain, a spine of steel and an ax to grind. he is the judge dredd america needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison. gates will be our hammer of justice. your thoughts? >> i think that trey gowdy there are a few republicans, and especially with the prosecutorial background like tre

trey gowdy and, are with his first to go to correspondent ryan, what he has all the details, hello brian hello, fox news can confirm there have been numerous threats made against president-elect trump appointees, include bomb threats and swatting, that is when you make a prank call to somebody's home and a heavy law enforcement presence arrives. some of these people that receive these violent threats include the cia director nominee john radcliffe, pete hegserth, former attorney general matt gaetz, trump pick for agriculture secretary, you an ambassador nominee and environmental protection agency administrator. and as statement, belden said "a pipe bomb threat was targeting me and my family at my home today, senton with a pro-palestinian feed message, by family and i were not home at the time and are safe. the office says the congressman, her husband and 3-year-old son were driving home from washington for thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat, the new york state police if he responded this morning with canine units and they say they did not locate any explosive devices.

trey gowdy give a thought from you here as president trump is about to meet president biden. mouthful. it hasn't happened since the 1890s and no videotape to show everybody. >> i'm sure they will be cordial collegial. really important issues around the world. i want to pick up on one thing kellyanne said. she is exactly right. they were talking about impeaching donald trump before he even actually was inaugurated. having said that, president trump kept jim comey and he replaced jim comey with chris wray and picked an a.g. to had to recuse himself when we most needed an a.g. to say no. he has to do a better job of vetting people this time around than whoever did it the first time around. >> bill: we're also getting the, too, trump is announcing his white house senior staff. if anything, this man had a plan, okay? >> dana: so did susie. >> bill: within seven days he has been largely quiet in florida. we haven't seen him on camera but firing off alerts on x and truth social. dan scavino will go back to the white house assisting the president deputy chief of staff work closely wi

. >> i want to play with trey gowdy had to say, he said this on fox news about gaetz specifically and potential backlash to the pick. >> do not use the justice system as a weapon. and the message for republicans is don't do it on the other side either with this absurd ag pick that you just made. the justice is different. it is a combination of policy, law and also morality. you do not use our justice system as a political weapon. voters rejected it in november, and they're going to reject it if republicans try to do it also. some things rise above the din. the justice system is one of those things. >> so you lived inside this system for a long time, congressman. do you think that was the message voters were spending? do you think they're going to follow all of this carefully and will care? and if so, how could any opposition manifest itself? >> i think a portion of the citizens will unfortunately i would suspect majority won't pay much attention to it. and it will fall just like most things do today on your partisan identity, people who in the maga world will support matt gaetz month

i want to bring in trey gowdy and others and we'll be off and running today. trey, you are first, how do you view the moment now? >> political resurrection, bill. just like we were talking about a week ago. it is more than a comeback. i don't know what kind of plane grover cleveland took back to washington but you would know. you were around then. i was not. this is -- it's only been done once before. what will happen when he gets to capitol hill is it will be celebratory. they've been in the wilderness for four years but he has to remind them some of you wouldn't be in the room for me and last time i was president you stalled my agenda. it was you, not john mccain, some of you. but you better get with it and let me hit the ground running my first 100 days or history tells us some of you won't be in the room two years from now. >> dana: hugh, love your historical perspective. >> i worked for richard nixon out of college and up until this moment nixon was the greatest political comeback story now donald trump is. richard nixon was never shot in the head. so i th

trey gowdy is here. what about that point r.f.k. jr. tries first of all the democrats try to prevent him from getting on the ballot. and then the democrats try to prevent him from getting off the ballot. he is on the ballot in michigan and wisconsin, also minnesota. but, michigan and wisconsin, obviously, if it comes down to really tight, that could make a difference. >> trey: why would anyone vote for someone who doesn't want to be president and asked you not to. who are these .4% who is voting for someone who begged you not to vote for someone. if you want to see him in washington don't vote for him. reminds me of jill stein. jill stein cost hillary clinton a state. i know that ross perot cost bush a presidential election. i was in the green room, bret, doing what i did in high school, which is finding the two smartest kids in the class and sitting in between them and looking on their papers. that's mccarthy and rove. there may be a 269 tie. i know nobody wants to hear that but there is a scenario under which there will be a topic for

bret: trey gowdy i'm struck by the strategy of the trump campaign he wanted to do all these rallies.e dug into that strategy in a big way. also he said immigration, he felt was a more important topic than the economy even though the economy kept coming and higher on people's issues list. when you look at the city chicago, miami, all of these places, one of the embedded issues in those cities is the bird and they have had under immigration. so maybe he was right? >> he was definitely right. immigration and the border is kind of a microcosm rule of law. what kind of country we are going to be. whether or not you're going to have to follow the rules. to take the oath of citizenship the law is used six times for new citizens it does not make a lot of sense to break the law and then swear an oath you're going to follow it. my friend mark, who knows more about politics and i do use the work comeback it's really more akin to a political resurrection. if you would've asked b on january the seventh or after the fourth of the four indictments i would've told you i see no way that he'll be the

and as trey gowdy said right there, it is just -- it is bad for the justice department.is bad for the rule of law. it is bad for america. but just selfishly for republicans, and for donald trump, it is bad for them too. >> yeah. first and foremost as you said, bad for the country, let's start there. that's the most important. but also if you want to energize democrats, energize who are deflated, put matt gaetz in there, pete hegseth in there, watch how they conduct themselves and you'll energize people to go out and vote in two years from now in ways you didn't anticipate. it is interesting. i have to say trey gowdy is the latest to see how aggressively republicans don't like matt gaetz. >> the wall street editorial page talking about pete hegseth. >> telling donald trump, it is okay to withdraw a nomination, that you made hastily and didn't have all the information on. statement to him, this doesn't have to be the final answer on defense. >> donald trump will always listen to "the wall street journal.." >> they're at least saying it. but it is, to watch trey gowdy and o

new york jury and the judge in my view and jonathan turley and other experts they never saw -- trey gowdyhe gets convicted on 34 counts and these other cases are looming. who would have ever thought that not only would these cases be delayed. sentences put on ice. the federal case goes away yesterday after winning an election and taking every battleground state and improving in 49 states. the turn around is unbelievable. yesterday i would argue is as good a day as the president has had. because, think about that looming over your head every single day. the power of the government. investigating everybody around you, all your workers ratling them to their core and getting your lawyers to flip on you. >> ainsley: special when they found classified documents in the other guy's garage but they are going after the republicans. >> steve: special counsel jack smith has moved to abandon both federal criminal cases against donald trump. >> lawrence: brooke singman has the details. hey, brooke. >> we are 50 days out from his return to the oval office and president-elect trump may have gotten bigges

are you ready for this, trey gowdy? end the criminal cases against trump. it reads democracy's ultimate verdict when these prosecutions was rendered by voters on election day. charges were front and center in the campaign despite the prosecution's more than 75 million people the majority of the popular vote decided to send him back to the white house. so now you have a judge in lower manhattan, judge merchan who has barely cut a trump team a break throughout the entire case. what does he do next hour? >> oh, he didn't cut any breaks. i was there for part of it. i have never seen a more pro-prosecution judge. how do you hold something in abeyance for four years or hold the sword over the leader of the free world's head for four years? i don't think you can hold it in abeyance. you can't sentence him. he is then a convicted felon. i can't possess a firearm but i have the nuclear codes. that is absurd. he hasn't had an evidentiary hearing on presidential immunity. look, the prosecution said they there are competing interests. not anymore. the competition is ov

about matt gaetz he you know what side of the courtroom to walk in because he is a law enforcement trey gowdyd i didn't even know he was a lawyer until he was put up for this position. so, i think it's a great pick. i think she is going to sail through. there will be people bring stuff up but i think she will sail through. you can't touch her. the supreme courting jussie smollett hoax situation. >> ainsley: after he straight talk plea deal violated his rights. >> lawrence: chanley painter explaining how this all happened. >> the court's decision had nothing to do with smollett's actual guilt or innocence. had everything to do with his constitutional rights being violated when in the court's opinion he was prosecuted a second time after a valid plea agreement. it was almost six yearsing a when smollett called police claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. >> why did you hesitate to want to call the police. >> you know, there is a level of pride there we live in a society where a gay man you are considered somehow to be weak. i'm not weak. it feels like if i had said it wa

about gaetz's nomination, including fox host, former congressman and former federal prosecutor trey gowdy do not use the justice system as a weapon. and the message for republicans is don't do it on other side either with this absurd a.g. pick that you just made. justice is different. it is a combination of policy, law and also morality. you do not use our justice system as a political weapon. voters rejected it in november and they are going to reject it if republicans try to do it also. some things rise above the den. the justice system is one of those things. >> charming. these past 14 days y'all have felt like trump is casting his administering like it's a reality tv show. but with this amount of effort exerted on individuals who are exceptional in their lack of qualifications you have to openly wonder what they've promised trump and what he promised them in return. what's implied here is a pseudo quid pro quo where you hire individuals who have issues that could only be resolved by a powerful king and then that king, donald trump, gets permanent loyalty and obedience in return which

trey gowdy sunday night america host and former house oversight committee chair. the big point dana and i were making 20 minutes ago. that's the official record. that's american history. that's sacro sank. you don't use it to abuse it and twist it in a way so it may help you in an election seven days away. at the time it was tuesday and now this coming week. what do you think? >> yeah, you know, they say it's never the crime, it's the cover-up. sometimes it is both. i actually got the best piece of political advice i think i ever got from a puerto rican colleague of mine who said people won't vote for you even if they don't like you. they will never vote for you if they don't think you like them. this whole last week has not been spent talking about the economy or jobs or war in the middle east. it is the word garbage. and what candidates and politicians hate is having to explain what other people have said. donald trump did not vet this comedian and kamala harris didn't say it. it was joe biden. so they are spending their last week having to deflect what other pe

. >> bret: we welcome kellyanne and trey gowdy. interesting thing i mentioned earlier was florida. we already called that state for the former president. inside those numbers there is a massive puerto rican turnout in osceola county and other places. cleanclean>> msg rally upset tho rican vote. he won that with massive puerto rican turnout. i'm not sure it effects things one-on-one but interesting to look at. >> a big puerto rican population. listen to this joe biden won osceola county by 14% with 95% reporting currently donald trump is leading by one. now, what other national lessons can we take from florida? miami-dade county, a huge latino population, no presidential candidate has won that since 1 # 8. ron desantis won miami-dade as a governor. but currently donald trump, in miami-dade county 95% report something plus 11. >> bret: thank you. electoral vote count about to go up. stay tuned. >> we are seconds away from 15 states, including new york, colorado, texas, plus critical battle grounds. >> we are going to win the state of

you don't need a lawyer or trey gowdy or to have kayleigh mcenany retained to understand that this washat never should have been tried. he looks like a synthetic person. number two is there a 30 million felons in this country, many which are trying to get a second chance at life. when you diminish somebody was allegedly convicted of a felony, you are ripping them and their family who are trying to make it in life and feel a lot of headwinds. so that is one of the reasons why that dog didn't hunt. >> harris: i also wondered, kayleigh, if there wasn't some sort of containment theory about how much lawfare was against him. he would always use that line, "if it happens to me it could happen to you." i wonder what people's perspective of that was, if it would be their own personal assumption, too. >> emily: to. >> kayleigh: i think they realize this is the heavy hand of government that could come down on me, as well. it kind of went under the radar. we played it on the show. i thought it was really important. when the crowd at the trump rally was chanting "lock her up," meaning hillary clin

harold ford jr., katie pavlich, marc thiessen, kellyanne conway, kayleigh mcenany, and trey gowdy. >>houghts to mexico i'll be brief. the next few days i think are really important for the country for democrats and the leadership in my party to reach out to the president-elect. i thought the speech tonight was the right tone. he said he might get this kind of speech and i was pleased that he did. it is 3:00 in the morning in the east coast. he gave the speech like it was 9:00 in the evening. he's got great energy. congratulations again, and i believe what he said and wanting to act on it. >> in person not there was corey comperatore who was killed at the butler rally. i'm sure he'd be happy with results tonight. the united states of america turns 250 years old in two years, and donald trump is going to be in the white house and i think he will probably a pretty good party. >> heck of a birthday party for america. >> we don't know how big this is going to be. there may be more coattails with senate races yet to call. he won texas by 15%. he won by 6% in 2020. we are going to see some b

axios political reporter stef kight and trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina.he beginning. then there was all this lengthy being ba and forth about a number of people who might be in the mix. but then the president-elect seemed to come back to his adviser who has been really close to the campaign. >> yeah, similar to you, i have been hearing bessent's name pretty regularly over the last couple weeks. it took some detours but he is, indeed, going to be the nominee. it looks like at this point. the biggest thing that i think is interesting with this pick is just how the supportive he has been of the president-elect tariff strategy like a huge part of trump's economic plan. whether it's to offset tax cuts. whether it's to use, to more aggressively pushback against other countries there. something that trump was repeatedly said he wants to be aggressive on. he said tariffs is the most beautiful word in the dictionary. this is someone who has indicated a willingness to agree with that approach. an approach not popular with some republicans and likely to cause headac

trey gowdy said the other day one of the things you hope also they're a little more prepared this timet transition team, and they're going to need it, and i hope there are a lot of people who want to be helpful. >> yeah. i think his transition team has done a wonderful job vetting potential candidates, and to kayleigh's point, i think a liberated donald trump -- he's never going to be on the ballot again. this is his last term. harold, i think he will surprise his detractors. i think he will be not anything like what his detractor to haves have described him now that he has been liberated. if i'm wrong, you can hold me to that. >> i hope you're right. >> i think he's going to shock his detractors. martha: he has said the assassination attempts had an impact on him. we saw him in many ways return to the very rough and tumble style that we've seen in donald trump towards the end of this, but now he will take the stage tonight as the next president of the united states. and he will not be able to run again. >> yeah. martha: and i think that is another liberating factor potentially for pre
