>> let me just conclude by saying that either we are going to come together as americans, which i hope and pray we do, to defend our democracy, and look back on january 6th as a painful low point in our nations history. or we can turn over power to a mob that is willing to do anything and say anything to dismantle our democracy and destroy this grand experiment called america. the january 6th insurrection tried to overthrow our capital, and their sidekicks in suits and ties are trying to overthrow our elections. just as we shored up our security here to protect the people's house, we need to upgrade our election laws to protect people's freedom to vote. today is a day to remember, to be grateful, for all of those who risked and lost their lives to protect us. to be grateful for all of those who stood up for our democracy, and continue to stand up every single day. today is a day to be grateful that we live in this great democracy called america, and it is a day to recommit ourselves to protect our freedoms for our children and our grandchildren. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. >> mr. president. to speak of the senator from nevada. >> thank you, mr. president. you know, this morning i have been listening to my colleagues, watching the news, watching our president, reflecting on -- >> harris: we are watching what's happening play out on capitol hill, and what we are told is that right at the top of the hour they would hold a moment of silence. we were then going to hear from speaker nancy pelosi. we will continue to watch this. obviously we are now seeing multiple senators come up and talk about that day, january 6th, a year ago. there has been so much political fire thrown onto the grill of conversation, if you will, going into today. i want to bring and bring in aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. aishah, you are with me last hour for "the faulkner focus." we are starting to see what we had anticipated. it is so much less about what happened that america saw was painful, much like all of the rioting leasing in this country for the last two years, and more of the politics of it. >> it's interesting, harris -- good afternoon -- is as you're watching both floors, the house and the senate, we expect that moment of silence happening for it on the house side you watch -- on the senate side you'll see a lot more democrats come to the floor. that's because you just won't see any g.o.p. leadership at any of these events today. that is because republicans believe democrats are trying to politicize today's events. back to you, harris. >> harris: aishah, i want to make the point that the house and senate were supposed to take that moment of silence simultaneously. that didn't happen. since that didn't happen, we are now waiting for that. let's tap back in to see what the speaker is saying at this point. >> addressed the chamber. today, one year ago, the capitol on those who work within it were targeted and violent insurrection that sought to undermine democracy. as we acknowledge the horror of that day, we honor the heroism of so many, particularly u.s. capitol police, institutional staff, for leadership, committee and member staff. we had a session this morning where we could say thank you to many of them. unfortunately, covid did not enable us to have the full house and we will have it another time when the attending physician allows. as we acknowledge the horror of that day, in the face of extreme danger, they all risked their safety for our democracy by protecting the capitol complex, members, staff, press, et cetera, safeguarding the ballots in those mahogany boxes to validate the election, and ensuring that congress could accomplish our purpose and honor our duty to the constitution and to our country. that day and the days after, they were the defenders of our democracy, and their courage and patriotism remain an inspiration. because of them, congress was able to defeat the insurrection, to return to the capitol that same night to ensure that the peaceful transfer of power took place. because of them, and are members, the insurrection failed. one year later, the sacred space where members legislate, children learn, visitors are welcomed, was defiled and damaged. we know that. as we reflect on the darkest day, we remember the insurrection sought not only to attack the building but to enter my democracy itself. when the violent assault was made on the capitol, its purpose was to thwart congress' constitutional duty to validate the electoral count and ensure the peaceful transfer of power. the assault did not deter us from our duty, i will say again, and this capitol assembled a democracy to the world that evening because of the courage of all of you. we rose to honor our oath and protect our democracy. we did so honoring the words of president lincoln during the civil war. fellow citizens, he said, we cannot escape history. we will be remembered in spite of ourselves. no personal significance or insignificance can spare us one or another. we hold the power, therefore we bear the responsibility, lincoln said. today we accept responsibility as daunting and demanding as any previous generations of leadership. since the january 6th, there have been completed assault on our democracy undermining the sanctity of the vote in the integrity of our elections which are the basis of a democracy. let us feature to the vision of our founders who brilliantly established our democracy and made it a model for the world. let us honor the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and protect that freedom with their lives, and let us remember the words of another president, our patriarch, president george washington. when he delivered the constitution to the congress, he said this. he said, this constitution represents the creation of a government to allow for the continuation of rigorous debate, but relies upon the common sense and good faith of the american people to find the better angels of our nature. as we proceed, let us find our common ground, with liberty and justice for all, remembering the words of our great patriarch. and in the spirit that our chaplain referenced, charity toward all. let us acknowledge today, as i conclude, our fallen heroes of that day. u.s. capitol police officer ran significant, jeffrey smith, billy evans of the leader assault. now i ask all members to rise for a moment of silence in their memory. thank you. pursuant to resolution 188, the house stands adjourned until 6:30 p.m. on monday, january 10th. >> harris: speaker of the house nancy pelosi just holding that moment of silence. as i said before, the senate and the house were supposed to hold them simultaneously. we don't know if that was some sort of mistake or just a change in programming or what, but on the senate side, sentiment, senator schumer had just spoken, and on the side she had not quite arrived at it. when went, the other went, and now it is done. when you later, january 6th, she recognized the police officers only. at the fifth person he was also killed that day. we will move on and be right back after this

>> guy: well, emily, i am vaccinated. i am glad i am vaccinated. there is a lot of data showing that vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe illness, preventing death, hospitalization. you're much more likely to die from covid if you are not vaccinated, and i think there should be an encouragement still for people to get vaccinated if they haven't already and to get boosted. i am all on board for that. i am not on board for vilifying and attacking people for decisions that they are making rather than trying to persuade them. i don't think it is effective, i don't think it works, and the other part of this, too -- and dana perino had a worthwhile soliloquy about this on "the five" the other day -- it's not just a pandemic of the unvaccinated anymore with no micron. a micron like wildfire throughout the whole country among vaccinated people, in large measure. i know probably a dozen people who have it or have had in the last 2-3 weeks, olives and vaccinated. that's not an argument against getting vaccinated, but it is an argument against repeating this stale talking point, as the president did the other day, that this is just a pandemic of the unvaccinated, which simply isn't true. i think if we want to be constructively would take an approach other than begging people over the head and using this as some sort of a cudgel or a weapon because, how's that working out? not terribly well. >> emily: right. and kayleigh, a lot of that pressure, as well, is coming from the media. we will play here in a moment the white house press secretary jen psaki being asked by reported by the president hasn't spent more time scolding unvaccinated americans. let's watch. >> why hasn't the president focus more on scolding the unvaccinated to try and tell them, hey, this is not working for society? we keep getting shut down. >> emily: kayleigh? >> kayleigh: standing, because guess what can i president biden has spent a lot of time scolding the unvaccinated. we all remember his september 10th speech. it was a mafia-like speech where he announced a vaccine mandate. some of his language i have for you from that speech, vaccinated people have the right to be angry. if you break the rules, be prepared to pay. our patience is wearing thin. this is verbatim language from the president of the united states. i'm not sure if that reporter was napping during that speech, but it happened, and similar language has been used thereafter. cedric richmond taking to the airwaves and saying that if you are a governor, to quote him exactly, "president biden will run them over." this language has been used continually. it's not productive, and it's a plea does not work. sure the science and data and operation warp speed from the trump administration, but don't cajole people and scold them, because that will not coerce them into action. >> emily: kayleigh brought up the front president and she is right that that condemnation, the total condemnation by global leaders around the world, it is not just in this country, and there is no room in their language -- there is absolutely no carb-out for those who are medically exempt from the vaccination. french president emmanuel macron tong the french newspaper that he wants to "piss off" the mx needed. he said we won't vaccinate them by force, so we need to tell them, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurants. we will no longer be able to go get a cup of coffee, or the theater, or the cinema, gillian. >> gillian: i think it is worth flagging that the western europe approach is very different than us here in the united states, medically and culture related. but what macron is saying is not so very different, emily, from what a lot of politicians who have instituted vaccine mandates here in the united states have said. they are saying we can't physically force you to get the vaccines, but what we can do is make your daily life as difficult as possible. what are the options for a politician to implement that? well, we keep you out of stories and bars and certain flights. it's not that different. the language is a little bit more confrontational, for sure, but i think in practice not so different. >> emily: harris, i wanted to get your perspective as well on the mob mentality that we have seen across social media especially that has an utter lack of grace for those who have chosen to be unvaxxed for their personal or medical reasons. the deputy d.a. in orange county, california, opposed the mandate and she passed away from covid earlier this week. she was mocked online after her death. her family was absolutely ridiculed online by social media mob after her death for her choosing not to be vaccinated. harris, your thoughts? >> harris: we are fast becoming a society of cowards who are faceless on twitter. i don't even trust people's avatars anymore. they should just put up a sign that says, "i am a coward." there is no justification, no debate or argument for going after someone who has a different view than you do, and then stomping on their graves. if you want to debate, if you want to talk about the topics and the facts and the factoids and all of that, that's fine. but where we are now is a place where we literally want to see the side that doesn't agree with one, died. is that really where you want to be as a society? let me tell you, the worst nature of us will oblige that. i don't think we want our kids seeing it. i know we don't want to live in that place. by the way, the cdc, the fda, they could get together on whether to booster 12 and 15-year-olds at the same time. this is a fluid situation, but we don't have to hate each other for it. the president deals this, too paid and are you talking about the french president mccrone, and i know biden doesn't have a nice sounding name like that. i like that last name pay [laughter] how different is that the making the whole pandemic at this point about the unvaccinated when we know, those of us who are vaccinated, we can get it and carry it too? does a vaccine help us fight it off, is it a weapon created in the last administration? yes, and yes. but it doesn't do what some in other media have said. it doesn't keep you from getting it. it's not like the wall against it all. maybe we need to have further conversations about libya going. how many boosters are we going to need? it is time to talk openly and not hate each other for having questions are different opinions. that is where we live, that is america. even if people in the white house don't like it, it is still true about us. we need to show them. >> that's right. despite what those global leaders and the media and the mob say, we do have it. coming up, first with aoc and now another democrat cut maskless in miami just days after he blamed republicans for prolonging the pandemic. stay with us. ♪ ♪ cranky-pated: a bad mood related to a sluggish gut. miralax is different. it works naturally with the water in your body to unblock your gut. free your gut, and your mood will follow. >> vo: my car is my after-work decompression zone. ♪ music ♪ >> vo: so when my windshield broke... i found the experts at safelite autoglass. they have exclusive technology and service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®. ♪ ♪ hello, for the last few years, i've been a little obsessed with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. >> kayleigh: california congressman eric swalwell is now the latest democrat to be spotted out and about massless stomach maskless in miami while vacationing with his family. it was just last week when swalwell, who represents one of the most locked down states in the nation, california, blamed republicans for prolonging the pandemic. "you should know who has prolonged it, these guys. republican liars. your vacation canceled, your kids back to virtual learning, and back to wearing masks. and for blame, look no farther than #theseguys. "gillian, a hill from the state of florida. i'm here now. there's a lot of "these guys," republicans come here in the state of florida. we want everyone to come vacation here. but don't criticize, more than half of the state. >> gillian: i would just point out, in the interest of being fair, we got to point out that he wasn't actually breaking the letter of any rules in florida when these photos were taken. he is more violating the spirit of the rules that he has implanted in his own home state. every time we see this, we see a politician who has been a fierce advocate of stricter covid measures that violate those measures. it rankles and it hurts, whether it was nancy pelosi getting that illegal haircut in san francisco. she did actually break the rule. in her own state, in that instance. or the governor eating an indoor restaurant without a mask. part of the problem here and the reason it hurts so much is because it's not just about the hypocrisy. it seems to be an admission for these politicians that they don't believe their own rules and regulations work, which begs the question, if you're not going to follow them, and it appears that you're not, why are they good enough for the millions of americans who then need to live under them? this is the core of the problem here. >> harris: that's a great question. >> kayleigh: to the first point that gillian made, he is not breaking the rules, because he's in florida we don't have draconian mass mandates. >> guy: that's the point. the three in california when you look at this, the top five states of residents reading around by democrats. the estate you know about, emily. california in particular, new york, new jersey, illinois. these are the top states people are leaving for a reason, freedom loving states like texas and florida. >> emily: it is that spirit, the self-righteousness, just dripping off of eric swalwell. i couldn't read the tweet, i had to wipe my screen for us. he is the worst of the worst because he refuses to acknowledge that common sense, that reasonability, just like aoc did. diverting the call-how to say it's about you guys wanting to date me. after the tweets called him out, he literally goes, "i was sitting with a congolese queen." it's always about himself. i wish he would have shown a modicum more of respect by not dressing like that while he was meeting here. everything about him is totally annoying and this is another unsurprising example. he is continuing to cater to his 1.1 million followers on twitter rather than rolling up his sleeves and addressing the fact that these policies don't work in california and people are freeing them and he is availing himself of all you can enjoy in florida. >> kayleigh: they could have enjoyed the beaches in california, too. >> harris: [laughs] >> kayleigh: governor ron desantis had some words so let's roll the tape and get your thoughts. >> if i had a dollar for every locked down politician who decided to escape to florida over the last two years, i would be a pretty doggone wealthy man, let me tell you. congresspeople, mayors, governors. you name it. >> kayleigh: harris? >> harris: kayleigh, i think the politics of this are very interesting for eric swalwell. when he is doing is rubber-stamping governor desantis and what he's done there, and he is proving that we are all in this together as he takes his -- you can't vaccinate a baby -- baby to florida. you can't put a mask on that little one. i think he's young, from what i've seen on social media. the one that you love, you are sitting there, and that baby is not. so clearly you know the environment you have taken your child? is safe. what does that say about florida? what does that say about the policies? i go back to what gillian was just saying. if it's good enough for you to visit, why isn't it good enough for you to live in? why does your state have to look so different? i know that the population dictates some things. at least that's argument here in new york. that it's the population, the crush of people, so on and so forth. but florida isn't empty. it is a fabulous place to go. i mean, have you been to disney world? it's not empty when you go there! and he's got a baby. ask the same question gillian does. if it's good enough for florida, and you want to be there with you baby, why can't you make some of what you got in your home state rock like that? bring back your economy, so on and so forth. >> kayleigh: exactly. guy, we have a hypocrisy scroll. we've done it a few times. we will do it again right now. a list of democrats who actually have violated their own mask mandates are engaged in some form of hypocrisy. your thoughts, guys? >> guy: i think "maskless in miami" is the new "sleepless in seattle." [laughter] here's the thing with swalwell. as gillian said, he was not violating the letter of the law in florida, which was the point. that's why he was there. that's why people have gone to florida, because they want to live normally and not wear masks and enjoy their lives and bathed in that freedom. that is why florida's population is increasing. that's why swalwell went there, i would imagine, among other reasons. it's also very rich for him and that tweet to try and blame republicans for school closures. really? a bunch of republicans controlling the teachers unions that have pushed for those? that's insulting and i don't think anyone really believes that. one other point, kayleigh. we cut it off, but that clip from governor desantis that we played, in that same press conference, he says over the last year and a half to two years he knows of six governors who preside over states with more restrictions, more lock downs. some of them have been specifically critical florida who have in fact escaped to florida from various -- the governor of michigan, if i recall correctly, that was publicly reported. he said there are a few others that have not been publicly reported that he's heard about. i would love to know who those people are. i think their constituents would like to know who those people are. >> kayleigh: would add their names to the hypocrisy scroll. >> guy: exactly. put them on the screen. >> gillian: i think you need a "mask-lives in miami" segment. it would be great. >> kayleigh: with that bump-out music. exactly. going to miami! coming up, new court filings against the boston marathon bomber could provide answers as to why victims have still not received more than $101 million in restitution. ♪ ♪ people with moderate to severe psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the way they exaggerate the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not an injection or a cream it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. veteran homeowners, newday's rates have dropped and if again. pregnant or planning to be. it's time to refinance. newday's low rate refi offers their lowest rate in history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year and there are no upfront costs. not one dollar. the newday low rate refi. take advantage of these record low rates so you and your family can save. pain hits fast. so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now get relief without a pill with tylenol dissolve packs. relief without the water. >> kayleigh: the convicted boston marathon bomber has been ordered by prosecutors to return $1400 of covid relief payments that he received last year. last summer, rather. along with other money that was sent to him. apparently he has been receiving donations from private citizens in addition to the coveted relief checks. guy benson, how did this happen? it was june 22nd of last year that he received $1,400 in covid payments. i know big mistakes happen, with big bureaucracy, but this is crazy. >> guy: you wonder how many other lawbreakers and inmates and felons have gotten that kind of money wrongfully. he's a very high-profile case, obviously, for all the reasons we understand. a lot of americans wonder why he is still alive given what he did. but he certainly should not be getting taxpayer benefits, covid related or otherwise, to pay and buy gifts, reportedly, for members of his family. how does that happen? that kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen. one other point, who are these private citizens donating to him? i think they should maybe be looked into. given his terroristic activities, someone who is moved to give money to that person behind bars, it maybe worth taking a look at. >> kayleigh: it is worth taking a look at, because we are looking right now. we don't know their names, the take a look at this chart, harris. there was an individual from indiana sending monthly payments meant to the $2,555. an individual from new jersey giving monthly payments, from maryland there were periodic payments. overall, 32 private citizens have sent this guy cash. who are they? this seems so crazy. >> harris: i think it's important that those people who protect us in this country against terrorists, i hope they know who is on that list and that they are taking a closer look to see if there is any sort of a benefit when you give a killer had that kind of cash. i do think that is a worthy question and a wavy look -- since they are investigating everything these days, like school board meetings, why not answer that question? it's my understanding that there is a group particularly on that list, who tried to keep this from happening. i don't know how we got to the point where that is not a nonpartisan issue. why is this allowed to happen? >> kayleigh: that the question for emily. i read that prosecutor said he can buy clothing, he can buy books, they took great issue for him buying gifts for his siblings. how does that work? >> emily: this guy owes $101 million to the american people. he also owes another $3 million in special payments. there he is mocking these american people. a legacy in memory of those who died in the families who are forever impacted by that. and yet he enjoys giving his siblings gifts and support and books, yes, because those are approved purchase items for thousands of dollars. he has paid about $2,000 back for that restitution sum he owes. it was a failure on multiple fronts. he wasn't eligible for the assistance he got, that there needs to be a lien on his trust fund and other sources of funding. it's absolutely important that there are american sending him money. who is doing that? common sense, this is absolutely ridiculous. >> kayleigh: 100 plus entered on that tragic day of the marathon bombing. >> gillian: they didn't just lose their lives, kayleigh. he murdered them in cold blood. in terms of covid, that story illustrates just how perfectly and grossly things have gotten out of hand. a cold-blooded killer got $1400, that he panned out across the nation, close to $100 billion has been stolen of covid relief funds that is intended for americans who suffered greatly during the pandemic. it's been stolen, a lot of that buy criminals here in the united states, a lot of it by criminals overseas. this is a small slice of life story and that bigger story and just how much money has been stolen by taxpaying americans. >> kayleigh: this terrorist, this murder, got the death penalty. there is a technicality in the trial. now in the supreme court whether it can be instituted. how often do we see a death penalty overturned because of a technicality? >> emily: it depends on what you're talking about. technicality can encompass a lot. it remains to be seen whether it successful, but there is a preservation of life that we take. in those arenas they air toward being generous in those accounts because it's not just incarceration that's actually taking a life. that this is sort of undeniable what he did. unfortunately remains to be seen. that's why in the interim it's really important that he is not coddled and rolling in money while the rest of america, to guy's point, who pays taxes, and his family's destroyed forever for what he did. >> kayleigh: we'll be watching that with great interest. well said, everyone. next, new evidence that people may be too plugged into their devices these days. you think?

[laughter] >> harris: wow, okay! good luck with that! i have a 12-year-old, so i only have one teenager, but i will say this, open conversation is where you get it. you've got to first of all model really good behavior. it's just like anything in life. if you tell somebody know about everything, they will have a great deal of curiosity about some of it. if you open and honest and say there are some dances on tiktok. you see me dance a little bit. i like a mix of hip-hop with country music, so there are some little jams that i get into. so i pick and choose when i talk with my girls about it, and they are not on tiktok. they do have one social media account, which is private, on a different platform. to say no across the board, particularly to a teenager, tells them that you don't trust the judgment that you taught them. my kids know that's not true. that's not where i'm coming from. all that means you have a bigger job now. it's that simple. >> emily: and it's not just choreography and likes. this video of an adorable chipmunk eating from a man's hand got 200 to 2.47 million views! the last time i fed us grill it bit me and i had to get shots. her name is charlotte, i fed her every morning for my back yard. granted, this is adorable totally, but -- that's me! that's me feeding her! i named her charlotte. guy benson, is this the state of society? is it a positive thing or a negative thing? >> guy: it's definitely the state of society. i saw a report that tiktok was the number one website in the world in 2021, more than google. that, i think, should wake some people up who might say, "tiktok, that's a small thing for the kids." no, it's a huge cultural force. it happens to be, in my opinion, a chinese espionage tool. so that's an element. whether it's tiktok or instagram or twitter or anything -- i'm not on tiktok, i'm on some of the other stuff. what i fear it -- i don't have kids yet -- what i fear is that weekly screen time report that my iphone just gives to me where i feel a great deal of shame at how much time they spend looking this damn device. i'm aware of the problem and i still can't stop it, it must be truly addictive for teenagers. >> harris: it is, actually. >> emily: so many of the videos are amazing. this video of the dog, the picasso i told you about, paid and some flowers, rightly so backed up all these views in 2021. this dog is amazing. however, so much of it is distraction. on one hand it is a way for the world to get together and watch -- >> guy: or worse. >> emily: you can keep showing that video if you want, because it's really awesome. or is it literally a colossal waste of time 99.9% of the time, kayleigh? >> kayleigh: look, i will say my mom often shows my daughters of these videos and it keeps her from screaming when you're in situations where you don't want her screaming, so there's a time into place, but i'm with guy benson. every sunday i get this magical report about my screen time. it's horrifying when i compare it to my husband's. one account, you get it anonymously, you get a little taste, but that's it. i don't want my daughter getting the screen reports i get every sunday. >> emily: i don't know if this giving bad advice, but i turned that option off. so i no longer see it. so i'm hiding my head in the sand, but it's an option. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. stay with us. ♪ ♪ looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?
