Investigation continues into the violence last week at the capital, that mob violence that killed five people. Look at the very latest from correspondent david spun at the justice department. Good evening. To be my good evening from fbi agents on the street all the way up to director christopher wray, the fbi taking this incredibly seriously for a source they did not want to see a repeat of what happened last week on january 6th at the capital. Right now, federal authorities are talking about a bulletin circulating about protest, but armed protest that could pop up not only in washington but around the country. Taking this memo seriously from the fbi including the governor of wisconsin who mobilized the National Guard to protect the state capital. Also california governor gavin newsom, here he is this afternoon. The answer is pretty selfevident for Anyone Around the capital that a higher letter in terms of making sure that everybody is safe and protected, peoples free speech can be advanced, but theres no violence. Breaking this evening, acting Homeland Security chad wolf is done, stepping down before the end of his term. This becomes the department of Homeland Security announced just a few hours ago it will up security measures even more for this years inauguration can do it as soon as possible. Earlier than expected. I am saddened to take this step and it was my intention to serve the department until the end of this administration. Unfortunately, it is warranted by recent events including the ongoing and meritless Court Rulings regarding the validity of my authority is acting secretary. Authorities continue to identify those behind the right and inside the capital last week, shows a protrump extremist dragging a Capitol Police officer down the steps and beating him with a pole, tearing the american flag. Fox news has learned there are at least 25 domestic terrorism cases now open in the fbi is going through some 40,000 tips related to the siege at the capital last week. Democratic congressman tim ryan from ohio said to Capitol Police officers were suspended this afternoon, ten to 15 under investigation for what happened last week. Also the National Park service is closing the Washington Monument to Public Visitors until january 24th because of potential violence. The fbi actively looking for tips. Theres a number out to the public. They just want the information, 1800callfbi. Bret if you see something, say something. A lot of the justice department, thank you. Lawmakers in the house are considering a single charge of incitement of insurrection as they move toward a second impeachment of President Trump. They say the president remains a threat to National Security, democracy, and the constitution. If a vote is planned in the house the day after tomorrow. As far as the senate, i will talk with democratic senator joe manchin in just a few minutes live here, but first, democratic lawmakers also tried but failed to pass a resolution calling for Vice President mike pence to invoke the 20th amendment and remove the president from office. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel has all the details tonight. For what purpose does a gentleman from West Virginia rise . I object. House republicans blocked a move to formally call on Vice President pence to strip President Trump of power under the 20 for the amendment expectation pence wont act, democrats say they will quickly pivot to impeachment. They charge President Trump greatly endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with a peaceful transition of power and imperiled a coequal branch of government. It also includes a reference to the 14th amendment barring anyone engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding any future office. The 25th amendment gets rid of him, hes out of office, but there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a second time. Republicans are warning this could derail the biden agenda. Joe biden is not going to get anything done if he continues down this path and neither will the democrats. Taking the session out of pro forma would require unanimous support which is highly unlikely. So the earliest the senate trial could start would be Inauguration Day january 30th, the House Democratic whip suggests she might hold onto the article until spring. President elect biden, getting it off and running. Democrats are holding an impeachment trial after President Trump leaves office. Potentially a big distraction or perhaps a waste of time. I dont think its a waste of time. Its not a waste of time for everyone in this country and around the world to see us stand up and defend against an effort to grow a duly elected president and engage in a coup detat which is what these terrorists it on wednesday. Theres a split among the Top Democrats on the timing issue. Sandy hoyer pushed back on those arguing for delay and sending it to the senate to allow biden to fill his cabinet. Deny, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer could be trying to force majority leader Mitch Mcconnells hand into allowing a potential trial to start right after the articles are sent to the senate. Bret mike emanuel on the hill, thank you. One of the president s options for with his supporters is the social media platform known as parler has been booted off several hosting services. Parler is now going to court in response. Corresponded Gillian Turner tells us what all this means tonight. Parler is fighting back for banning the social media site. The latest development after apple, amazon, and google banned parler from their offerings and so far the decision is essentially killing the social media app. Parler ceo explains the fox news wherever the big five go, the rest of the Tech Industry usually follows. Every vendor we talk to us as they want to work with us because of apple doesnt approve and google doesnt approve, they wont. Google made the first word friday banning parler from its app store for failing to take down violent content hosted by users they say orchestrated the siege on capitol hill. Parler is a right wing social media app. Most known for gaining popularity among President Trump supporters in recent months but the tech trends are alleging the site is lawless allowing users to promote and organize of violence and hate speech totally unchecked. Republican lawmakers are calling foul claiming big tech is now censoring conservatives. We make the effect of this is there is no longer a free and open social Media Company or site for any american to get on any longer. They also point out some of the worlds worst dictators are alive and well on facebook and twitter. They are not being consistent. The secretary of state said banning the president is unamerican. At all points in one direction, authoritarianism and moral righteousness. They simply put that to sleep. Not everyone agrees. It doesnt apply to private sector organizations. These are companies that have their own ability to enforce their standards and their policies. Industry insiders say social Media Companies are also protected by the first amendment. Free speech isnt speech free from consequences. It means speech free from government consequences. Breaking tonight, amazon is telling fox news there was no merit to parlers claims filed in this suit and a new policy from facebook ahead of Inauguration Day, pulling all content that contains the phrase stop the steel from facebook and instagram. This comes after they already pulled the group called stop the steel back in november. Bret thank you. Lets talk about all of this, the situation with the outgoing president , the prospects for the incoming administration. Joe manchin, democratic senator from West Virginia who joins us now. Welcome back to special report. Good to be with you. How are you . Bret doing well. Happy new year. I want to talk to you first about the impeachment effort. The house it seems is going to vote the day after tomorrow on impeachment. It seems like House Speaker nancy pelosi is going to have the votes. Is there any scenario where you see that the u. S. Senate would try and convict President Trump . I dont see any of that because there are still what he ate democrats until we see Raphael Warnock and jon ossoff. So until that happens, you need 67 votes. We have 19 republicans. I dont see that and i think the house should know that also. Weve been trying to send that message over. They know the votes arent there. I think this is so illadvised for joe biden to be coming in, trying to heal the country, try to be the president of all the people when we are so divided and fighting again. If what the judicial system do its job and we are country to roll along, thats a bedrock of who we are. Let that take its place. Let the investigations go on and evidence come forth and then we will go forth from there. Theres no rush to do this impeachment now. We can do it later if they think its necessary. Bret is there any credibility to doing an impeachment trial after the president s already left office . Heres the thing. The politics yes. I think it comes to that point, and theres enough evidence that we show, and we have proven evidence of what we have seen already, and there is probably more that we havent seen, and i dont think that basically could ever condone the type of actions of insurrection that has happened to our country into our capital, but with that, what theyre trying to do is not going to happen. Hell be out of office no matter what happens because mitch is not going to take it up. He is still the majority leader until the two senators are sworn in and does have unanimous consent to take it up immediately, so they can pass it tomorrow or the day after, send it over, and mitch wont take it up basically until the 19th and nothing will start until after joe biden is sworn in as president. Bret there are some of your colleagues saying republicans who voted to challenge the Electoral College were voted against that certification for other colleagues who talked openly about stop the steal should somehow be disciplined. Some of your colleagues have said they should be thrown out of the senate or the house. Where are you senators, theres only 100 of us and you know the power that the constitution gives each senator. They were acting within the confines. I think very bad judgment and those who held their ground, i could not believe it. After we gathered and took us down that secure place and we were all there together three or four or five hours, i said to each one of them, you see whats happening. We didnt know the gravity of what had happened until he went down into that secured area and we saw the monitors. We couldnt believe what we were seeing because we have no idea it was at that level at all. So once we saw that and we heard about the deaths, and there might be more, high talked of those people who were objecting when i said i know you have the right within the senate to do is youre doing, but look at what youre doing to our country, shouldnt you think about this . We are better than this. And i think five or seven of them did not, they change their minds, and i was proud to see that happening, but those who went and doubled down afterwards and went over for the pennsylvania vote milieu in the House Chamber in pennsylvania, congregation stood up and it had to be 50, 60, 70 Republican Congress people stood up still doubling down and josh hawley stood up and confirmed with the senate so we went back over to the senate and it was voted down again. My back just to be clear, youre not saying they should be disciplined that, they were operating within the confines of that vote. They have to live with their conscience and live with themselves. They have to go to their constituents. Bret i talk to you back in november, and we were forecasting about these georgia runoffs. It was an uphill battle for democrats to win votes. They did, and now technically have control of the chamber and the new congress. Although its tenuous. Heres what you told me about the filibuster back then. I dont know if any of the democrats that are for defunding the police. We are not for that whatsoever. And when you talk about medicare for all, we cant even pay for medicare for some. Bret are you in the same spot today as you were back th then . Its all true. Its all the same. Nothings changed. Heres the thing. My job right now being in the position i am always being in the middle is basically to do everything in my power to bring this country together, to heal the country, and to work in a bipartisan fashion, which is the one reason that we have the senate. Im going to do the job ive always done. Im going to continue to try working with the minority and the majority and now that we are split, we need to bring this country together and i think people want us to. Bret if the pressures on from Chuck Schumer to get you to break the filibuster, to change the rules, what are you going to tell him . I would say if you sit down and try to work with mitch and would you sit down with chuck and ill try to work this out, can we find some compromise will be can get 60 or 65 of us voting for the same thing . I would like to think we could if its that important. Bret d. C. Statehood, lift ticket issue by issue. Puerto rico statehood, you said your examining that. For that to happen, they would have to be a filibuster, a change in the rules to get the vote, right . From the standpoint youre saying there wouldnt be 60 senators to do that, i dont know. I havent really researched that. You brought up to me there so much going on. Im happy to look at all of these issues but im sad what im set on the others. The senate was intended to work. The founding fathers, washington, madison, jefferson. Ive been in the minority and weve had very little input and i intend to work with my minority partners for them to have input. Bret if the pressure was too great from democrats on that front, would you become an independent . I dont think the democrats will throw me out, do you think . Im not sure. Where are they going to throw may . Im an old West Virginia democrat. I understand that. Im still a democrat who loves my proud West Virginia republicans and get along for at least we use to. I hope they dont push us apart, but i intend to stay where im at. Im very comfortable, and will just have to see what happens. But the pressure im too old to be pressured. My goodness, what are they going to do to make . I love my country. I love the process we have. I want the democracy to work. I respect my republicans, my friends, and i really tried like the dickens to work with the president for three years. I always want my president to succeed, and i want joe biden to succeed. Ill do everything i can and i would like to thank my republican colleagues feel the same. Bret i think that dog agrees with you. I have a couple more questions after the break if you wouldnt mind sticking around. Sure thing. Later while President Trump is not saying much today, his wife is speaking out and what she had to say about last weeks violence on capitol hill coming up as well. But theres only one way to become one. By going all in. The new lexus is. With a lower center of gravity, a more responsive suspension, and an aggressive wider stance.

That was there obstruction. It was there obstruction. Yours too. It was an obstruction. You held out for eight months. That was a total game changer. A new president and a vaccine. This has simplicity. Its what we had in our bills, its for a shorter period of time, but thats okay now because we have a new president. Bret both the Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on 60 minutes last night and in december after a new president was elected. We are back live in West Virginia, democratic senator joe manchin, a lot of backandforth about why that covid relief was delayed. Fair to say the House Speaker was waiting until the election. Was that for me . Bret yes, thats to you. I dont know. Im not going to secondguess. I didnt have any conversations on that. I thought it was ridiculous that we couldnt come to an agreement before, but on the other hand, Mitch Mcconnell started at 1. 1 trillion in july, end of july when he put that package out and then came back and went down to 500 so i guess i thought everyone was dealing in bad faith, hunker down in their corners which they do an awful lot and nothing got accomplished until we got the bipartisan Bicameral Group together to figure out the people that would lose everything. We just need to start working in a new era of bipartisanship. And with common sense. Bret says he wants to move forward with a 2,000 direct payment checks. Do you have a problem with that . Let me tell you, i would do whatever it takes to help those people in need. Whatever helps this economy but i wanted to be targeted. I wanted to be targeted to make sure that it gets to the people that need the help. Thats all ive said, ill do whatever it takes to help those people who need a fillets make sure its targeted and getting to the right place. Bret have you spoken to president elect biden . Yes, i have. Conversations. Bret feelings about this . I dont want toy pressure from Chuck Schumer on you. Obviously going to be pressure on january 20th, from the Progressive Side of your party. How do you think he deals with that specifically . Let me tell you, we talked about that. I said i have some pretty strong beliefs, and really want a place to work. I have the greatest opportunity, the greatest opportunity with the knowledge you have of how the senate and how congress is supposed to work because youve been in it and have more experience than anyone in that position that you have right now coming into it. So with that, use it, use the knowledge you have and bring us all back together and he says ill never ask you to vote for something or ask you to go against your convictions. And i said i know that, mr. President elect. I know that, joe biden, and i appreciate that very much because i am who i am. If we are all a product of our environment. And i was very fortunate to have wonderful people. He comes from scranton, i come from farmington West Virginia, a beautiful coal mining town full of hardworking people but he gets it. He understands it. He wont put that pressure. Thats the worst thing you can do is put pressure. Bret quickly, do you think confirmations will happen quickly . I sure hope it does, but this impeachment doesnt help anything. If thats the thing im talking about, makes no sense whatsoever that we would push this impeachment thinking we will do a little bit of this in a little bit of that. It doesnt work that way. Let the judicial system do its job if you still think is needed for impeachment, do it later but the bottom line, joe biden should one is to put a government together, confirm immediately. We need to get secretary of defense. We need to get people in place, we need to protect our country and get a functioning government as quickly as possible and get people vaccinated immediately warp speed. I appreciate the president bringing a vaccine on quicker than what we thought couldve been done. Its our job now to get it in peoples arms and protect sins of the United States. Bret do you feel safe, does your staff feel safe in the u. S. Capital . I would help. I do. I think this is a wakeup call. I really think its a wakeup call. I never felt threatened at all. I really didnt, but it may be was for a lack of not knowing exactly what was going on outside, the immense of this insurrection. I still feel safe and theres a lot of people that care about our safety. Theres a lot of good people out there and i dont have an enemy on either political side. I really dont. My republicans and my friends, we might disagree. Its not a reason to vote bodily harm and dont you think we have to have that dialogue to bring people together. How do we get this far apart, how do we get this absolutely far apart that it came down to insurrection, how do they believe the think the government is against them . Would better Start Talking to people, not double down and make it worse and thats what would happen if we continue down this road, and i think joe biden, i hope you would speak up and say listen, lets put this government together. We will take care of that. Bret we appreciate your time and we love to continue that conversation here on special report. Any time, im happy to come back. Thank you for what youre doing and i appreciate it very much. Bret up next, he is not in office he, but there is some unhappiness from president elect biden with his own Coronavirus Response team. We will tell you why and whats being said. First, what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight.

Express yourself express yourself bret President Trump is at the white house tonight remaining largely silent since his suspension from social media platforms. He has other venues you can talk to reporters and make a speech, but the threat of another impeachment looms this week as well. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts tells us the president s aides are trying to put the focus elsewhere in his final days. Muzzled on twitter, facebook, and instagram, President Trump was silent today but aides say angry over big tech taking away his megaphone. I think the president is frustrated with these censorship tactics, definitely upset with the democrats. Upset with democrats were again going down the road of impeachment, one that was certainly dead end in the senate, with little chance that can be a trial before President Trump leaves office next wednesday, a move the president s colleagues say will only further divide a fractured nation. I think this is just going to pour if you will on the fire by the president himself has come out repeatedly now and said he intends to peacefully transfer power. He intends to leave the white house. Trying to keep the temperature down, keep President Trump focused on the accomplishments of his administration and bring the train into the station next wednesday. Tomorrow, the president will travel to the southern border to inspect new border wall that has replaced old fencing. They want to arrange other events on operation warp speed, rebuilding the military, and economic growth. Lets figure out what we can do to help get this economy going again, make sure we can continue to get the vaccine out, make sure we help our schools, help our law enforcement, those are things Americans Care about. For the first time, long to get trump weighing in on the events of last wednesday, a statement that drew some criticism for sounding like a complaint. I find it shameful, she wrote, that surrounding these tragic events, there has been salacious gossip and false and misleading accusations on me. But the first lady going on to say our nation must heal in a civil manner. We must listen to one another, focus on what unites us and rise above what divides us. As democrats try to punish the president politically, Corporate America is hitting him in the pocketbook.

President elect joe biden says he is not changing his inauguration plans even as the fbi as we told you is warning of armed protest all across the u. S. On january 20th as well as in d. C. Has correspondent peter doocy reports, he is also feeling even more protected against the coronavirus. To be met bidens First Priority isnt impeachment. My priority is to get the stimulus bill passed. But his first act may be a balancing act. Heres one idea he is got to keep the Senate Advancing his agenda during an impeachment trial. Dealing with the impeachment and getting my people nominated and confirmed in the senate. Theres just one problem, senate rules might prohibit that kind of multitasking. I dont know, i havent gotten an answer. The president elect got his second dose of the eyes or Covid Vaccine today and at a delaware hospital, he was asked about a report that the team hes got in place led by him is underperforming. Are you feeling confident in your team that they will be able to vaccinate 50 million americans in the first 100 days . I do. My number one priority is getting the vaccine in peoples arms. As rapidly as we can. He is hoping to rapidly confirm Critical National security nominees including the latest pick to lead the cia, william burns, a career diplomat with 33 years of experience at state. Trying to restore the independence of our Intelligence Community and equally critical to restore trust and confidence in our current officials including those at the cia. Intel suggests a possible terror threats at bidens inauguration but despite that danger in covid19 concerns, he plans to put his hand on the bible in the same spot as his predecessors. Even though biden is leery of the Capitol Police calling for a thorough investigation into the officer who has now been suspended for taking selfies with rioters, the president elect says he feels better about swearing insecurity because that is run by the secret service. Bret peter doocy in wilmington, thank you. The Trump Administration is redesignated cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. Secretary of state mike pompeo citing cubas continued harboring of u. S.

I think this is so illadvised for joe biden to be coming in trying to heal the country, trying to be the president of all the people when we will be so divided and fighting again. Let the judicial system say there is no rush to do this impeachment now. We can do it later if they think its necessary. Bret democratic senator joe manchin on the show earlier talking about impeachment and what it looks like in the senate. Lets bring in our panel, fox news senior political analyst brit hume, member of the Editorial Board at the wall street journal and White House Correspondent for reuters. Your reaction specifically on the issue of impeachment. It seems to me that perhaps some cooler heads may be heard now in the Democratic Party about this action which would be anything but healing and it certainly wouldnt do any good to promote bidens speech when the senate would be simultaneously conducting an impeachment of a president already out of office, which is why i think clyburn suggested in the house, James Clyburn who was a majority whip over there suggested they could hold the impeachment articles having voted them for 100 days while biden got his administration up and running. I wonder if after 100 days but the president gone, theyll be any stomach for it then, but we will see. I think illadvised, which is the words that joe manchin used are probably the right words. Bret just moments ago, john roberts reporting from an administration official, the Vice President met this evening in the oval office discussing and reflecting on the last four years of the administrations work and accomplishments. They reroute reiterated that ths from the capital do not represent the America First movement backed by 75 million americans and pledged to work for the remainder of their term. That was one of the questions about their communication, what the relationship looks like patched up . I think its probably too early to say patched up, but certainly critical and important that they met. I have spoken to one former white house official last week who speculated that the two men might never speak again, so this is perhaps the process and patching up that rift. What is interesting to me about that statement that you just read from a Senior Administration official as it reads a little bit like a readout that the white house would release when the president meets with a foreign leader and the fact that they needed to release a readout between the president and the Vice President at all is certainly reflective of how bad the breach was in the last few days. Bret sure. The president was out on that speech before all of that happened last wednesday saying he was disappointed, tweeted all these things about it and all the stories about him not reaching out in the middle of the mayhem. And what about the status of impeachment, where it goes in the timing here as we have a little bit more than 200 hours left in his administration . I think that the Crucial Point because its not that there is in the will for this in the senate, you dont have the number of people you need to convict but you dont have the time. It sounds as though the house will bring this up on wednesday even if they get it all in a day, that would leave six days for the senate to get through an entire impeachment process, and that would be to then deprive the president of one day in office. I think one of the most important things senator manchin said is this is most hurting joe biden. We dont have any evidence of National Security staff or nominees confirmed yet, thats unprecedented, and the senate simply doesnt have time to do both of these, so it would be better if the president elect came out and told his party to stand down. Bret at the same time, we have the acting Homeland Security secretary stepping down saying it was warranted by the actions of the past few days and its going to be a bumpy ride january 20th. He also said that because it had been a recorded rule that he was not legally in office because of the manner of his appointment as acting but that was one of the reasons, but people are leaving this administration. This administration is ending. It stays away as you point out from being completely gone. So these steps are not surprising and illustrates how little is left of the Trump Administration. The term presidency. So it suggests to me at least how unnecessary the active impeaching would be, although a lot of people think this guy did that stuff that was terrible, insurrection and all the rest of it, but as has been aptly pointed out here, the steps all over the moment it was joe biden intended to step forward and convey his message of togetherness and unity to the American People on the day of his inauguration and the cabinet appointments he is hoping swiftly to complete as he starts his administration. Bret there is this trip tomorrow to the border, and thats a town called alamo that was planned beforehand, but a lot of people looking at this end saying what will the final days of this administration look like. Theres a lot of story about aids trying to focus on the accomplishments of the past four years. I reported that, that the president s staff and encouraging him to discuss and focus on his legacy, the last remaining days of governing, and to talk about his accomplishments but in that same breath, spoken to white house officials who say it is tonedeaf to try to do any of that in the wake of what happened at the capital, and so one white house official telling me a few days ago that nobody cares at all, and i think that was a reflection both on some people at the white house and in the country. I dont think that is true for everyone. It certainly people at the white house who are deeply saddened and really, really upset about what happened on wednesday because partially because they feel it is overshadowing what they believe should be a strong legacy from this president. Bret i think thats a common refrain from Trump Supporters ive talked to is sadness. We will cover it all when we come back, a disco party celebrating all things. Woman i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Now, theres skyrizi. Things are getting clearer yeah i feel free to bare my skin, yeah, thats all me nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin, thats my new plan nothing is everything woman keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. With skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or coughs or if you plan to, or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything woman now is the time to ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. Bret finally tonight a party where they are doing a lot of shots. Vaccine shots. Brookfield congregation wanted to celebrate residents receiving the Coronavirus Vaccine so the staff through a disco party. Okay, there is one person dancing. The wisconsin facility with music and lights for residents saturday as they took the first dose of the vaccine. I dont know, maybe that would be better.

Because we can go a half day on dealing
