FOXNEWSW The Five January 7, 2021

Today from president elect joe biden. Yesterday, in my view, one of the darkest days in the history of our nation, an unprecedented assault on our democracy. They werent protesters. Dont dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. If that basic. Its that simple. The fast 4 years, weve had a president who has made content for our democracy, constitution, the rule of law, clear and everything he has done. Dana President Trump saying there will be a peaceful transfer of power, but calls have been ramping up by lawmakers for the president to be removed via the 20 for the moment. Both senator Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi say they are on board, but are not ruling out impeachment. In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people. I joined the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the Vice President remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. If the Vice President and cabinet do not act, the congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. Dana this was just announced. We are expecting to hear from White House Press secretary in minutes. We will bring that to you live. We will have a discussion as long as we can until the press briefing. Jesse, lets get reaction about the events of the last 24 hours. Jesse it was very bad. It did not help at all. Those few people know when inside the capital made it the entire movement look horrible. I condemn it fully. I want to speak to the people who think it wasnt that big of a deal. Yes, you are allowed as a member of the public to go into the peoples house, but you have to go through the front door and metal detector. You cant smash windows, spray police with chemical agents, Assault Police officers, lose, and vandalize. An unarmed woman was shot dead, and what did it accomplish . Nothing. I want to make that very clear. In context, what happened yesterday doesnt hold a candle to what we saw over the summer with black lives matter and antifa. We saw churches burned, Police Precincts burned, businesses burned, federal courthouse is burned, people knocking out old women on the corner, people looting, shooting people dead in the streets. Remember david dorn . We condemn that fully while the left sit back and left. I dont want to hear anybody on that side talk about whats right and wrong in terms of political they dont have the moral high ground. Here is the root cause 75 million americans feel disenfranchised. You cant dismiss that and say those feelings are based on a lie without taking a full inventory about what happened. Thats dangerous, disrespectful. Its not a lie to say that Major Corporate media destroyed President Trump, suppress good news about him, suppress bad news about joe biden. Thats not a lie its not a lie that democrats filed under 300 lawsuits last year gutting state election laws, circumventing state legislature, getting Democratic Senators and judges to sign off on all that, abolishing signature requirements, extending deadlines. Thats not a lie. Its not a lie that polewatchers were not allowed access. Its not a lie that people came forward and said they saw voter fraud, and when republicans challenged this after the election, those same at democratic secretaries of state and democrat judges dismissed it. So, there are doubts about 2016. We pursued those doubts for 3 years. We have investigations in the house, senate, media, and special counsel, and after 3 years, there was no collusion. That same treatment needs to happen today. It makes people suspicious and angry when the entire power structure in this country says no, no, no no no, lets not look at that election. Whatever happened yesterday never happens again. That was a disgrace. Before we wait for the White House Press secretary briefing to get started. Lets get gregs thoughts. Greg im with jesse on this. Vandalism and looting whether it is d. C. , portland, soho, kenosha, minneapolis, seattle, its all bad no matter who hes doing it. We must remain consistent. Thats what makes us different from the rest. We dont play favorites with mobs. The other side does, but we dont. I target this personally, because i was outraged over violence every single day this summer. I saw my neighborhood trashed. Still, i condemn this equally. We arent them. We are better than them to spearfish to this point, i heard a pungent say that even republicans are outraged by this behavior. Duh. Republicans are outraged by bad behavior, because they consistently, consistently embrace law and order, and condemned the destruction of private and public property. I do believe the capital is a sacred place. I also believe that the guy who invested his life savings in a small business, to him, that was a sacred place, too. Its consistency. By pointing out republicans or nonliberals like me, who are equally outraged by this behavior, what you are doing, as you are pointing out also, the inconsistency, right . The lack of democrats who werent doing this when our cities were in flames. That this is me off, but what this is me off is what happened yesterday. We are supposed to be the gate. A nonleft, republicans, libertarians, conservatives we are supposed to be to gate loot against the who to jesses point, it doesnt help anybody. You will not see republicans bailing out those who were arrested grade see, that is a vital contract. Americans know this. Americans do not need lectures from hypocrites and hair and makeup who pick and choose their favorite protesters, right . Im glad democrats are finally outraged by this disgusting behavior. Join the club ive been there for a year i do not play favorites with mobs. Also, jesse is right. 75 million people, their voices need to be heard exactly the same way black lives matters voices need to be heard as well. It happens that when you were on the republican side or if you are a trump supporter, you will be held to a higher standard. That means that even though you dont burn it down buildings or beat up pedestrians or harass people at their homes, going into peoples homes, you are still going to be seen as worse as the people who perpetrate that trait to jesses point, and then i will stop, he is right. This is a bigger problem. When president obama talked to trump and said youre a problem is north korea, this is the big problem that somebody has got to tell if you want to unify this country, joe biden, you cant sit there and act like the tough guy now. Youve got to deal with a half a country that feels that they have been disenfranchised, disrespected, lied to by the media, marginalized by media, made to feel small by the media. Their eyes are open. This is a redpilled america. Yesterday was a bubble that burst, but a sign of a much larger problem. Its going to come back in 4 years if you dont deal with it, whether it is transparency in elections, voter i. D. , just being honest might be a start. Stop calling these people denigrating them, because they arent cool elites. Thats part of this, too. Before 1 dana juan, your thoughts. Juan i will try to speak without emotion. Im very upset. I love this country so much. The greatest asset that we as americans have is a country that is politically stable and based on rule of law, based on the constitution. Thats how we are. Thats how i can raise my family, thats how we can invest money, start businesses, come to work here. We have a stable democracy its a treasure trump incited a mob to undermine that rule of law, undermine a constitutional process, certification of a president ial election, and he did all this knowing that it was going to result in violence i dont see how you can do it. We all saw it with our own eyes. It was painful to watch. Its not that you can somehow massage it. He cant say remember when trump said after charlottesville oh, they are fine, people on both sides . after people died. You cant massage this one. There is no excusing trump did this. There is no moral equivalence to what happened over the summer. This was an attack on government, on rule of law, not on private property there is a huge difference to understand, this is a threat to the way we all live. Greg whats the difference, juan . Tell me the difference. Burning down buildings is not as bad . Juan open your ears. Greg i am not hearing anything. Juan the difference greg you are defending burning buildings. Juan to jesses point, the truth is that these people they were lied to not by mass media. They were lied to by trump media. They were lied to by people who told them they could go there and somehow overturn a legitimate election that had been tested in the courts by republican judges, that you had a republican officials in states like georgia and elsewhere who said this was a legitimate election. We have no problem with it. There was no fraud of such a magnitude that it would have affected the outcome, and yet they continue to consume lies, and got excited. President trump added to this when he spoke to them, and told him im using the words of his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani lets engage in some kind of combat. This is criminal. This is why its domestic terrorism. Thats why i say im so emotional, because i love america. What these people dead was antiamerican. Greg i wish you felt that way about the cities that were burning, juan. It was she saw that as terrorism. Juan i wish you were burning. Greg [laughs] what city juan not only did i condemn the violence greg he left juan think about this, greg. Think about it. Greg i am. Juan it joe biden condemned the violence this summer. Greg it took him how long . He had to. Juan donald trump has yet to condemn what happened yesterday. Greg yesterday . Juan you and jesse both condemned it, but i havent heard that from donald trump. Greg may be today dana let me get katie in. Its a freeforall, but katie, you had such a good angle and handle on the security issues, the police. There are 60 Police Officers injured yesterday, one in Critical Condition today. Do you have any more of a sense of yesterday that allowed this to get so out of hand . Katie dana, everybody is asking the question of how could this happen . How could the police not be prepared . Trump rallies in the past dont have a record of getting out of control and turning into riots, but that doesnt excuse the idea that the bigger problem for the Capital First thing that went through my mind when i was watching them break and was what if it was a trained, armed group, organization, foreign or domestic, trying to it into the capital . They were overrun. There was no security. A young woman who lost her life as a result of the mob Lindsey Graham today gave a press conference, answered questions, that he is astonished at the idea that 20 years after 9 11, we had this kind of a breach in the capitol building. I dont know if its complacency, they just didnt think it was going to get out of control, but the bottom line is they have to be prepared for any kind of threat that comes to our government. I know that Chuck Schumer is going to fire a number of people in the Security Team at the capital. People have things to answer for. Its a problem. Can i comment on joe biden quickly, and Kamala Harris responding today . Dana sure are. It sure her. At katie joe biden just tweeted that thi if this was a k lives matter mob, it would be different. I dont know what that means, but they are gaslighting. Kamala harris today came out and said that while we were gassing protesters, ignoring the fact that the day they were moved out of lafayette park, it was the day after a church was burned, and there were so many rioters outside of the white house trying to storm the white house and get to the president that he had to be removed from the white house and put into the bunker. There were 6 60 secret Service Agents that might injured. The idea that there is one side that came out yesterday, conservatives, who said it is unacceptable, condemn this fully, but then the left is Still Holding onto this idea that there was not only not violence, but they are still approving of these organizations that did turn cities, engage in riding. They are acting like it didnt happen. You cant move forward and unify the country if you are not going to acknowledge that this happened dana we are expecting the White House Press secretary at any moment. While we wait, jesse, maybe i can ask you about the calls for pelosi, schumer, that they 25th amendment to be invoked. Andy mccarthy was on my show at 2 00. He laid out why the 25th amendment, in his mind, is not to be discussed in terms of this, because it is not a medical condition. We dont have votes of no confidence in this country. Thats something the europeans do. We have had some resignation from officials within the white house, but also we have been hearing from some cabinet members that they are being called by capitol hill members, asking them to make sure that they stay over the next 12 days. Your thoughts. Jesse they are piling on, trying to discredit the president forever, especially in case he tries to run again in 2024. Want to respond to something that juan said. Id like to read you a quote. Dana sorry to interrupt you. Speaker mcenany i am here to deliver this message on behalf of the entire white hou white house. The violence we saw yesterday at our Nations Capital was appalling, reprehensible, and antithetical to the american way. We condemn it. The president and this administration condemn it in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable. Those people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I stand here at this podium the day after a Historic Church burned following rights, and i said this the First Amendment guarantees the right of the people to peacefully assemble. What we saw last night in washington and across the country was not that, and quo quote. What we saw yesterday in the halls of our capital was not that. We grieve for the loss of life and those injured. We hold them in our prayers and close to our hearts. We think our Law Enforcement officers who are true american heroes. What we saw yesterday was a group of violent rioters undermining the rights of thousands who came to have their voices heard at our Nations Capital. Those who violently besieged our capital are the opposite of what this Administration Stands for. The core value of our administration is the idea that all citizens have the right to live in safety, peace, and freedom. Those who are working in this building are working to ensure an early transition of power. Now, it is time for america to unite, to come together, rejected the violence we have seen. We are one American People under god. Thank you very much. [shouting] [shouting] dana i can understand why the press was yelling for questions. Usually the press secretary answers questions. I think it would be better to suggest a white house statement, but honestly, there were lots of questions. One thing she did say that we have not heard directly from the white house is that, she said the people working at the white house are working on a peaceful transition of power. Jesse, let me turn it back over to you. I dont know if you want to pick up where he left off, but i noticed that in addition to condemning the violence, that was the first time weve heard that. Jesse i think Everybody Knows this is the end of the line for the election challenge. They pursued every legal avenue to address that, and for a lot of people, i think its a sigh of relief. To me personally, it was a long shot to have mike pence throw out these electors. Everybody knew that was not going to happen. I want to read juan something that someone said a few years ago. People must have confidence that every vote legally cast will be legally counted and accurately counted. Shifting vote tallies and malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts, have led to additional loss in confidence by the public. That was not donald trump or any republican. That was nancy pelosi in 2005, when she herself lodged a challenge to the electors, after george w. Bush was reelected. I agree with nancy. Lets restore confidence in the election. Greg just touched on it. If you need a voter i. D. , transparency, signature verification, need to clean up these old voter rolls, and get rid of drop boxes and ballot harvesting. Once you do that, start electing republican judges and republican secretaries of state, because they are the ones calling balls and strikes in these challenges maybe people can have peace of mind. I like the fact that she just said that we can move on with a peaceful transition of power. There is razorthin margins in the senate and house. Theres gonna be compromised. Mcconnell and biden are going to have to compromise. Hopefully, we can get to work and restore confidence in our institutions. That confidence has been lost. Juan let me respond to you. Dana go ahead. Juan i wanted to say, where is the president . The press secretary did fine, but we need to hear from the president to take this to heart. Jesse just got censored. Juan this is serious in terms of our national history. To respond to jesse. Jesse, theres no argument here i believe the governor of georgia is a republican, the secretary of state, the man in charge of Election Security is a republican. They have all said there is no fraud jesse thats just georgia. Thats not pennsylvania, michigan. Juan around the country, 60 court cases, 90 judges, including many judges appointed by President Trump. There was no case in which they found sufficient evidence jesse juan, you werent they hearing in a state like arizona, okay . Hold on a second, juan. Juan you had your chance, im responding to what you said take it away. Jesse after 2016, after you planted that hope about collusion, that hilaryhopes juan get out of here you know what, this is not jesse russia, need to get to the bottom of that. Hold on. Juan lets talk
