>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WELL, CHINA,
CHINA, NO ONE HERE HAS WORKED
HARDER ON THE ISSUE OF CHINA.
THEY HATE MY GUTS.
I’M SANCTIONED, DOUBLE SANCTIONS
AND I CAN’T TRAVEL THERE.
I WASN’T PLANNING TO ANYWAY.
CHINA IS LAUGHING.
THEY ARE LOVING THIS TONIGHT AND
BEIJING, THEY ARE HIGH-FIVING
BECAUSE THEY POINT TO THIS TO
SAY, THIS IS PROOF THAT THE
FUTURE BELONGS TO CHINA.
AMERICA IS IN DECLINE.
MARIA: THAT WAS FLORIDA’S
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO ON WEDNESDAY
ADDRESSING THE CAPITOL SIEGE AND
IMPACT.
CHINESE-STATE MEDIA MOCKED CHAOS
ONLINE CALLING IT, QUOTE, A
BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
SENATOR RUBIO JOINS ME RIGHT
NOW.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
SENATOR: GOOD MORNING.
MARIA: I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE
ON CHINA FOR SURE.
THE BIG NEWS OF THE DAY OF THE
SQUELCHING OF CONSERVATIVE
CONVERSATION WITH MOVER OUT OF
APPLE BUT LET’S DISCUSS HORRIBLE
BREACH OF OUR DEMOCRACY, BREACH
OF CAPITOL ON WEDNESDAY, YOUR
REACTION?
SENATOR: IT’S DISGUSTING.
I CAN’T GIVE YOU AN ASSESSMENT
OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT WENT
IN THERE AND IT’S CLEAR NOW BY
ARRESTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, THE
RIDICULOUS CONSPIRACY, THEN
YOU’VE GOT WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN
THERE, YOU HAVE MEMBERS TO HAVE
PROUD BOYS.
IT’S A ROGUE GALLERY OF GROUPS
AND WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING
TO STORM THE CAPITOL, APPREHEND
VICE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS AND HAVE THEM PAY THE
ULTIMATE OF PROGRESS, STRING
THEM UP THEY WOULD SAY.
I HAD PROTESTS HERE IN FLORIDA
CALLING ME TO BE STRONG UP ON
OTHERS.
IT’S UNACCEPTABLE.
90% OF THE COUNTRY WILL AGREE
WITH WHAT I JUST SAID.
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED
FOR DONALD TRUMP WOULD AGREE
WITH WHAT I JUST SAID.
THERE’S A MOMENT WHERE WE SAY
THIS IS ENOUGH, GUYS.
THAT’S NOT WHAT’S HAPPENED
UNFORTUNATELY.
THE LEFT HAS DECIDED THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DESTROY THE
RIGHT, SO WHOEVER VOTED FOR
DONALD TRUMP, IF YOU EVER
SUPPORTED ANYTHING HE DID, YOU
ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS THE PEOPLE
WHO WENT INTO THE CAPITOL AND GO
OUT AND PUT PRESSURE TO SOCIAL
MEDIA COMPANIES, LITERALLY, NOT
JUST ERASE THE PRESIDENT BUT
EVERYBODY.
WE ARE LIVING IN A COUNTRY, 4 OR
5 COMPANIES, UNLIKE THATTED,
UNACCOUNTABLE HAVE THE POWER,
MONOPOLY POWER TO DECIDE, WE
WILL WIPE PEOPLE OUT, ERASE
THEM, SELLING THICKS AND THE --
THINGS AND THE LIKE THAT.
IT’S CYNICAL, OKAY, BY THE WAY.
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, THESE ARE NOT
MORAL CHAMPIONS HERE.
THE REASON THEY ARE DOING IT IS
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ABOUT TO TAKE
POWER AND THIS IS WAY TO GET ON
THEIR GOOD SIDE TO AVOID
RESTRICTIONS OR ANY SORT OF LAWS
THAT HURT THEM.
IT’S UNFORTUNATELY THAT INSTEAD
OF UNIFYING US RIGHT NOW, BIDEN,
THE DEMOCRATS, HAVE CHOSEN TO
USE THIS TO TALK ABOUT
RIDICULOUS THINGS ABOUT
IMPEACHING A PRESIDENT WHO ISN’T
GOING TO BE IN OFFICE IN ABOUT 9
DAYS.
MARIA: RIGHT, LOOK, YOU HAVE
NANCY PELOSI SAYING EVERYTHING
IS ON THE TABLE.
MITCH MCCONNELL DRAWING ARTICLES
OF IMPEACHMENT AND THEY ARE
SAYING THAT THE PRESIDENT
INCITED ALL OF THIS.
WE HAVE THE PICTURES FROM
EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN THE
PRESIDENT WAS TRYING TO PUSH FOR
LAW AND ORDER IN THE CHOP ZONE
IN SEATTLE WHEN -- WHEN
PROTESTORS AND PEOPLE RAIDING
THE AREA WERE THROWING MOLOTOV
COCKTAILS AT POLICE AND BRICKS
THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF SMALL
BUSINESS FORCING SMALL BUSINESS
TO BOARD UP.
SENATOR: TWO THINGS I WOULD SAY,
NO PERSON THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA WOULD DO ANYTHING THAT
HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY, END OF
STORY, NO ONE -- WE ARE SEEING
THE DISTURBING QUOTES IN THE
NEWSPAPER FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE
SAYING I’M WILLING TO DIE FOR
DONALD TRUMP, I’M WILLING TO
DIE.
THAT JUST SHOULDN’T EXIST, OKAY,
THAT’S NOT NORMAL.
THAT’S NOT GOOD.
NOW, I’M I’M NOT GOING TO SAY
ANYTHING -- I DON’T WANT TO KEEP
STOKING THE FIRE.
THE PRESIDENT DOES BEAR SOME
RESPONSIBILITY HERE THAT NEEDS
TO BE LOOKED AT.
WE HAVE FOR TOO LONG INDULGED
SOME OF THE GROUPS.
THESE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES.
THESE ARE WACKOS.
THESE ARE NUT JOBS.
90% OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN
THE CAPITOL DID NOT STORM THE
CAPITOL.
THEY WERE NOT A PART OF IT.
THERE’S THIS ELEMENT, VERY SMALL
BUT CREATE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
DAMAGE AND WE SHOULD BE
REJECTING THE GROUP, NOT AFTER
THE FACT BUT BEFORE.
AND TO THE EXTENT ANYONE HAS
INDULGED THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO
POINT OUT, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE
TO WATCH WHAT WE SAY AND ALLOW
INTO THE MOVEMENT.
THEY MAY BE INCITED TO DO THINGS
BY WORDS THAT MAYBE YOU DIDN’T
INTEND TO BE READ THAT WAY BUT
THEY DID.
IT MATTERS WHAT THEY THOUGHT YOU
MEANT AND WHEN YOU GO DOWN MARCH
THERE AND I WILL MARCH WITH YOU,
1% OR HALF OF 1% READ IT
DIFFERENTLY, IT COULD BE
DANGEROUS.
MARIA: YEAH, WHAT DOES THIS
UPCOMING WEEK LOOK LIKE?
WE ARE EXPECTING ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT.
DOES THIS GO TO TRIAL AND HOW
DOES THAT PLAY OUT BECAUSE YOU
JUST SAID IT’S ONLY 9 DAYS UNTIL
JOE BIDEN IS INAUGURATED.
THE PRESIDENT WILL NO LONGER BE
A SITTING PRESIDENT, CAN YOU
IMPEACH A PAST PRESIDENT?
SENATOR: YOU CAN AND SO IF THE
HOUSE PASSES ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT THE SENATE HAS NO
CHOICE BUT TO HAVE A TRIAL.
WE DON’T HAVE THE OPTION OF NOT
HAVING A TRIAL AND AT THAT
POINT, THAT’S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT THAT MEANS, OKAY.
SO NUMBER 1, JOE BIDEN RAN AS A
GUY WHO WAS GOING TO UNIFY THE
COUNTRY AND HE WILL SPEND THE
FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF THE
PRESIDENCY, NOT CONFIRMING
NOMINEES, NOT DEALING WITH A
PANDEMIC.
FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF
PRESIDENCY IS GOING TO BE ABOUT
REMOVING A PRESIDENT THAT’S
ALREADY NOT IN OFFICE.
I MEAN, THAT’S WHAT WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT HERE.
SO LET’S STOKE UP MORE DIVISION
IN THIS COUNTRY, LET’S STOKE UP
MORE FIGHTS, LET’S CREATE MORE
GRIEVANCES THAT CAN RALLY
PEOPLE.
WE HIT ROCK BOTTOM.
IF THAT DID NOT CAUSE US TO WAKE
UP, LOOK WHAT WE ARE TURNING
INTO, I DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL.
INSTEAD OF SAYING THAT TO
EVERYBODY, WHAT’S GOING TO BE
THE NOTION, LET’S KEEP FIGHTING
THIS TRUMP STUFF, LET’S HAVE AN
IMPEACHMENT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS
NOT IN OFFICE ANYMORE.
MARIA: TED CRUZ AND JOSH HAWLEY
UNDER PRESSURE.
SENATOR CRUZ WAS ON THE PROGRAM
WITH AN IDEA TO SIMPLY PROPOSE A
TEN-DAY EMERGENCY COMMISSION TO
INVESTIGATE WHY 70% OF TRUMP
SUPPORTERS BELIEVER THAT THE
ELECTION WAS RIGGED, NOW HE’S
FACING CALLS TO RESIGN.
SENATOR HAWLEY FACING CALLS TO
RESIGN.
>> CALLS TO RESIGN FROM FAR-LEFT
LIBERALS WHO ARE ALWAYS CALLING
ON REPUBLICANS TO RESIGN AND
FROM NEWS PAPER EDITORIAL
BOARDS.
THEY DON’T LIKE US.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO,
THEY WILL WRITE SOMETHING THAT
THEY WILL NEVER WRITE ABOUT
OTHER PEOPLE IN THE OTHER SIDE.
THE POINT HAD BEEN MADE ABOUT
THE ELECTIONS AND THAT THERE
SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ANY FURTHER
OBJECTION.
THEY WEREN’T GOING TO PASS AND
EVERYBODY KNEW THAT.
IF THE CHOICE -- THIS IS REALLY
BEING DONE MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE BECAUSE THESE FOLKS WANTED
TO MAKE A POINT AND WANTED THE
ISSUE TO BE DISCUSSED AND WANTED
TO LEAVE IT ON THE RECORD TO
TAKE ELECTION SECURITY SERIOUS.
WHEN YOU HAD PEOPLE THAT DIED
AND HAD EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENED, OKAY, THE POINTS HAVE
BEEN MADE ALREADY, THERE’S NO
NEED TO CONTINUE THIS AFTER WHAT
HAPPENED TODAY, LET’S SHUT THIS
DOWN AND GET EVERYBODY HOME AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THAT WAS MY VIEW, THAT’S NOT THE
CHOICE THAT THEY MADE AND SO
THAT’S CERTAINLY THE RIGHT AS
SENATE.
I DON’T THINK THAT’S A
RESIGNABLE OFFENSE.
MARIA: SENATOR, A WORD ON CHINA
BEFORE WE GO BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE
FEELING THIS MORNING FEELS
AWFULLY LIKE COMMUNIST CHINA
WHERE YOU ARE HAVING A COMPLETE
CRUSHING OF ONE VIEWPOINT,
CONSERVATIVE CONVERSATION WITH
APPLE BANNING PARLER FROM THE
APP STORE, GOOGLE AND INSTAGRAM
MAKING THE SAME DECISION
YESTERDAY ALL ON THE SAME DAY
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS BANNED
FROM TWITTER.
YOUR REACTION TO WHAT’S
HAPPENING IN AMERICA AS CHINA AS
WE KNOW IS RISING AGGRESSIVELY
WITH THE MOTIVE OF TAKING OVER
THE NUMBER 1 SPOT AS FAR AS
BEING A SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD
TODAY?
SENATOR: JUST KNOW THIS, WE
COULD BE TALKING ABOUT HOW ALL
OF THIS AGREE THAT THIS IS
TERRIBLE AND WHAT IS IT THAT GOT
IN PEOPLE’S HEADS AND WHAT ARE
THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE
IN, CONSPIRACY WISE AND OTHERS
THAT CAUSED THEM TO DO ACTION
THAT IS WE ALL REJECT AND INSTEAD WHAT WE ARE ENGAGING IN
INSTEAD WHAT WE ARE ENGAGING IN
FRONT WHO SHOULD BE CENSORED BY
5 COMPANIES.
DEMOCRACY DOESN’T WORK, IT’S CAT
-- CHAOTIC AND CAN YOU THINK OF
A BETTER TALKING POINT FOR THEM,
BETTER SUPPORT ON WEDNESDAY,
THEY WILL PLAY THE IMAGES OVER
AND OVER TO THEIR PEOPLE, HONG
KONG, THAT’S WHAT DEMOCRACY.
WHAT YOU NEED IS ORDER AND
STABILITY.
WE ARE HELPING THEM AND THEY ARE
LAUGHING AT US.
AMERICA IS IN DECLINE.
THEY ARE A MESS.
CHINA IS GOING TO BE THE FUTURE.
SO WE DID TREMENDOUS DAMAGE TO
OURSELVES AND IT’S IRONIC THAT A
LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT
THERE SAYING THIS IS BECAUSE
CHINA RIGGED THE ELECTION AND
CHINA WILL TAKE OVER EVERYTHING
HAVE JUST DONE THEM A HUGE
FAVOR.
MARIA: I THINK IT’S QUITE
INTERESTING THAT APPLE DID NOT
BAN TIKTOK, YOU CAN STILL
DOWNLOAD TIKTOK ON THE APPLE APP
STORE BUT YOU CAN’T DOWNLOAD
PARLER AND BY THE WAY, WHY IS NO
ONE FOCUSED ON GENTLEMAN MA?
WHERE IS JACK MA, THE
BILLIONAIRE, FOUNDER OF ALIBABA
VANISHES AFTER HE MAKES CRITICAL
REMARKS ABOUT THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY?
NO ONE --
>> SENATOR: WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
IS HIS COMPANY HAS TOO MUCH
POWER AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST
PARTY WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
HAVE POWER THAT’S RIVAL OF
THEIRS.
THEY ARE GOING TO ELIMINATE
THEM.
MARIA: THIS IS A SCARY MOMENT IN
TIME AS JIMMY LAI SITS IN A
PRISON RIGHT NOW AS HE PUSHES
