Was against the hawley/cruz coupe so its an interesting lot the whole bunch of them. i think the fact that tom cotton ended up on the other side of this, that the two democratic candidates in the runoffs in georgia prevailed, that donald trump is now hold up sending up videos that we havent seen him do on days like this since he was hospitalized with covid, that the vice president and the speaker are still as far as we know at the capitol but we havent seen them or heard from them and police, la...

Well. i didnt -- i never thought they would allow themselves to be used in this way. that doesnt mean that president trump wouldnt try. i believe that he would try, because the president is a violent man. he is not a well man. he is somebody who is capable only of thinking about himself and nothing else and nobody else, so he is capable of everything. now, the larger story at this point isnt president trump, because we know really well who he is. hes made it really clear for a very long time who...

Troops and even active duty military from the old guard that is garrison just down the street ready for this and already deployed because, you know, i was thinking that there were going to be riots today, you know, with tens of thousands of trump supporters being incited to violence by both the president and his supporters, i knew that there was risk of this. so there are some very serious questions in my mind as to why there werent more preparations broadly to prevent that outer security perime...

Garrett, i know you said you were going to do the best you can. >> the capitol building is locked down internally as well. i tried to go through the tunnels across the street to the northeast, and i was stopped by police that there was no passage and they were moving into the capitol building but there are now protestors in the capitol building itself. not clear how many or where, but theyre no longer just on the steps. but at this point, capitol police are telling be there are protestors inside...

They are numbers two and three, the important roles in the continuity of government of this country. weve got our elected officials in gas masks and laying down to avoid potential gunshots. the clearing of the capitol is because one person with one weapon could do incredible harm and so theyre going to go room by room, closet by closet, and thats where these three national security officials said it is similar to a military operation. a pentagon official, though, said to me -- former pentagon of...

Been going on for three hours now. it feels like about three years. i will tell you, but again, getting live reports from whats happening inside the capitol complex is difficult. were bringing you as much live reporting as we can. i believe weve reconnected now to congresswoman chrissy houlihan. can you hear me now? >> i can hear you. >> i apologize for those earlier technical difficulties. can you tell us, congresswoman, what your experience has been today, where you are to the extent that you ...

Police? >> reporter: i dont know that. i dont know the answer to that question. im going to make -- sorry. there it was again. thats teargas, so thats -- thats teargas. yeah, thats teargas, guys. lets move this way. lets move away. were going to be -- were in the -- >> you and miguel get somewhere safe for us. i want to pull brian williams back into this. brian. >> and i in turn want to bring vaughn hillyard in. he is among our correspondents out there as well. we appear to be watching, in the c...

This in my life. this is a direct criminal action by the president of the united states to overturn an election which resulted in one branch of government being shut down while trying to do their constitutional duty. nothing like this has ever happened. trump is a rogue president. the congress must react. i was totally against impeachment before. i thought it was a bad tool. i think this actually calls for the removal of the president of the united states. >> wow. >> in the world were living in ...

>> i saw senator schumers head and thats the only i can i.d., but terrance gainer is on the phone. he used to be the ahead of the capitol police and the sergeant in arms. >> this is terry gainer. >> yes, we just talked the other day about the security up there, do you know from some of your former colleagues what is happening on the senate floor? it seems they took the vice president out. >> yeah, it is out of an abundance of caution. theyre trying to determine the extent of what the protestors ...

Before hand and get them miled up and ready to go to do that. rudy giuliani said they wanted some sort of confrontation here and it looks like they got what they wanted and the president still not really knocking down the entire thing and im not sure what you do about that. >> thank you for joining us. keep us apprised on speed dial tonight, mike, as your reporting develops. were looking at lye iive image. its ten minutes after 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. matters because the mayor of d.c. imposed a ...
