Viewers in the United States and around the world. Im poppy harlow in new york. It is 9 00 out west. Im so glad youre with us. Authorities across the u. S. Tonight on high alert warning of further domestic threats against the government. This is all ahead of joe bidens inauguration. The fbi says there could be, quote, armed protests in washington and all 50 state capitols this week. They are really concerned about domestic extremists who refuse to recognize bidens election victory. Some state capitols have been boarded up, others temporarily closed down n. Washington the u. S. Capitol tonight is a fortress. It is surrounded by barbed wire fences and guarded by thousands of National Guard troops and Law Enforcement officers. Shimon pork pez reports from washington. Reporter road blocks like this across washington, d. C. The National Guard now patrolling almost every intersection across the district. This is a checkpoint. This is one of the areas where sometimes cars will come through, the National Guard will ask for i. D. , will ask for credentials to allow them to come through. This is blocks from the capitol. The perimeter across the capitol, across washington, d. C. , is wide. Every iconic structure from the white house to all the monuments and the national mall, all fenced in. Everything around there has fences. Authorities here very concerned over the threat that the district faces and also the threat that much of the country is facing. Shimon prokupecz, cnn, washington. Shimon, thank you. Joining me now is charles ramsey, cnn Law Enforcement analyst and also formally police commissioner. Thank you for being with me. Thank you. Can you talk about what its like to lead in a moment like this. Well, i mean, its nervewracking but its exciting. I mean, you know, whenever you have a major event take place and of course i was part of the planning for two president ial inaugurations, nothing like this, however. But i remember in 2000 because of the bush gore election being controversial, knowing we see we had protesters that would be lining pennsylvania avenue, it was a challenge. But again, its nothing like what youre seeing today. Right. I know. Its unprecedented on so many levels. Weve learned a lot since the deadly insurrection on the capitol, including the Washington Post reporting yesterday that before that attack there was an internal Capitol PoliceIntelligence Report that warned this angry mob could attack the capitol itself, and a day before the insurrection there was the fbi outpost in virginia that issued an internal warning about extremists coming to washington. And i know hindsight is 20 20, but how do those things we learned about areas where there was a collapse in response, how do they inform how theyre planning now . Well, first of all, there were multiple points of failure on the 6th of january and the days leading up to the 6th of january, thats clear. The only way were going to get a complete picture of who knew what when is if theres a body thats established that will go through everything that they can possibly go through, you know, documents, interviews, and so forth. And i would recommend it be a body that can put people under oath in order to find out exactly what happened so that its not repeated. Normally intelligencesharing is something thats key, and i was really shocked and surprised that it didnt happen, apparently, in this instance. There were too many gaps. Ive been part of those conversations, and usually the intel flows pretty freely between the different agencies. So everybody is prepared and knows what to expect. One of what seems like the most challenging parts of this for Law Enforcement officers and National Guard, et cetera, is, you know, a lot of these folks are firsttimers. A lot of those, you know, that charged the capitol, they were not known criminals or Foreign Terrorists or on watch lists, right . They were supporters of the president who believed his lies. So how do you prepare for that, right . If theyre not posting stuff that gets flagged on social media, how do you protect against a deranged, disgruntled voter who otherwise has a superclean record . Its a challenge. Some of the people that showed up were just there to kind of peacefully demonstrate, exercise their First Amendment. But you had others that came there with intent of causing violence and even trying to overrun the capitol, which they were successful in doing. So youve got a mix of people here. Theres no one group. Theres no one ideology. I mean, its very complicated, and that poses a huge challenge for Law Enforcement. Some of this stuff you could pick up in chatter online, social media, and so forth. Then you have the lone wolf, the individuals there on their own, not part of any group or ideology. Theyre really there to just cause problems. So yeah, its a huge challenge, and its not going to go away on january 20th. No question. What do you think people are not talking about enough that they should be now on the security front in the next 72 hours . Well, what they caught object doing now is clearly sharing information. I mean, i think at least i hope we learned our lesson after january 6th. I mean, intelligence is only good if its shared so it becomes actionable so you can do something with the information. It does no good for Capitol Police to have information, not share it, fbi have information, not share it. The right people need to know exactly whats going on so you can plan for it. Obviously that didnt happen a couple weeks ago. Commissioner ramsey, thank you very much for staying up late and being with us tonight. A very important week ahead. Thats quite all right. Thank you. With the nation on high alert, President Trump has so far spent the weekend inside the white house , no Public Events listed on his schedule. But the Vice President mike pence has been pretty busy filling that public void. On saturday he toured the trump administrations nationalization touted the trump administrations nationalization platform and then tomorrow he will travel to new york where he will address troops at fort drum. On saturday president elect joe biden announced more key nominees. He introduced four members of his white house science team. Were also learning more about his plans to immediately issue executive orders to roll back some of President Trumps policies. We have the details from wilmington, delaware. Reporter president elect joe biden is readying dozens of executive actions to sign once he takes office january 20th. Many of these executive actions he outlined during his president ial campaign and on the first day alone he plans to sign roughly a dozen executive action, some of them undoing policies from the trump administration. One of those executive actions biden will sign will rescind the travel ban on travelers from majoritymuslim countries. Thats something President Trump unveiled early on in his administration that biden plans to undo. The president elect is also planning to rejoin the paris climate agreement, something that was negotiated during the obama biden years, but President Trump pulled out of. There are some items relating to the pandemic. Biden will be halting foreclosures and evictions, as well as keeping that pause on payments for Student Loans and interest. And the president elect will also be issuing what they are calling a 100day masking challenge, trying to get people across the country to wear masks. While biden doesnt have the authority to mandate masks everywhere, he can do it in federal buildings and interstate travel. Now, these executive actions, which will be rolled out over the coming weeks, are also joining bidens legislative priorities. He will be sending an immigration bill to congress in his first 100 days, and hes also unveiled a 1. 9 trillion covid stimulus relief package, something hes hoping congress can get to right away. But what the president elect is making clear with these executive actions is hes looking to hit the ground running january 20th. Cnn, wilmington, delaware. Joining me is congressman lou correa from the state of california, member of the House Judiciary Committee and the Homeland Security committee. Good evening, or good morning here in new york. Good evening. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for having me. Im all right. But how are you . I mean, we just learned today that you tested positive for covid. This is even after you got your first Covid Vaccine shot. Are you doing okay . Well, let me tell you that we left 2020 saying good riddance. I know 2021 is going to be much better. Wednesday we had i was part of the folks being trapped in the capitol. Thursday morning i got accosted by Trump Supporters at the airport, and two days ago i found out im covid19. So were off to a roaring 2021. Should we restart, have a doover . I think it could have all been worse. I mean, look at the Glass Half Full because that attack on the capitol was sad because it was americans on americans. Thats a sad testament to our history. Yet at the same time it could have been so much worse. Those guards at the capitol have m16 rifles with a lot of bullets. We could have easily had a massacre of americans, and im glad that didnt happen. I think its a sad chapter, but it could have been a whole lot worse. And of course, my covid19 situation, i was lucky to have a vaccination early, the Pfizer Vaccine and the second booster. So now i know i have covid because im getting tested regularly, otherwise i dont have symptoms. Good. Lets hope it stays that way. You mentioned the airport and thursday after you were up all night certifying the election, going to the airport, you get accosted at the airport. For anyone who hasnt seen that video, lets roll it so that they can see what happened to you. Because not only did you get stopped and heckled, lets listen to what people were saying to you. [ bleep ]. Yeah . Yeah. Who voted for you . A lot of people, 70 of people in my district. Did you use dominion . Good for you. You didnt back away. You said a lot of people voted for me. But the fact that that happened it went on for a long time. The fact that that happened in america and i just wonder what it tells you about where the country is now. It tells us what weve known for a while, which is this country is deeply divided. We are split right down the middle. 70 Million People voted for President Trump. Many more voted for biden. But its time to put that division aside and work together. If theres a Silver Lining to what happened at the capitol that wednesday night when we were counting the Electoral College ballots, its that democrats and republicans that were trapped in that house of representatives looked at each other and said enough is enough, weve got to work together. But thats just the start because president joe biden, the members of Congress Working together, that message has to penetrate all the way down to the local person on main street who knows that weve got their back. And thats the big job that we have moving forward. Those people at the airport that attacked me, i dont even know what their issues are. Even sadder than that, they didnt even know who i was and one of them asked me, are you a democrat or are you a republican halfway through the melee. That tells me theres a lot of anger there and god knows why. Can i ask what you think, you know, not only do we need unity and healing in the country, but you guys need it in congress and we rely on you to have it to get things done and to do, you know, the work of the country. Seven house members from your state, from california, even after the deadly insurrection on the capitol still voted against certifying the Election Results, even after that mob stormed the capitol. I just wonder what you think should happen to them. Expulsion or let the Voters Decide . I think you let the Voters Decide because theyre accountable to their voters. I am accountable to my voters. Now, with that being said, four years ago when we were certifying President Trump, i was there. And i voted for that certification because i believe in our constitution and our rule of law. And when i look at what happened on wednesday, a lot of that was motivated by President Trump. He was out there in the capitol saying we got to fight, we cant let them do this, we cant let them roll us over. And just his message of getting people angry, having them go and storm the capitol, i think that was a lot of the problem. And im hoping moving forward that now with President Trump kind of taking a side position i dont think hes going anywhere. I think hes going to continue to be there as a voice. But we in congress begin to focus. Im proud to say im a member of a couple groups in congress, were democrats and republicans, members of congress and senators all working together trying to understand each other and to advance good policy for all americans. And thats what we have to do is to remember that we are americans and were stronger together than we are divided. We are the United States of america. The United States of america. And weve been like this for a long time and weve done some beautiful things in the world. Were a great country, strong economy, a lot of freedoms, great constitution. Weve got to remember what we have and work to keep it. A republic if you can keep it, smart man said that once. A republic if you can keep it and wednesday night we came close to losing it because when you have a president that says go stop that count, and he says Vice President pence can stop it, knowing full well that that is not true. But, you know, upping that score and having people invading that capitol and looking to arrest some of us . Its unacceptable. Thats what you do in a banana republic. Yeah, not here. Congressman lou correa, thank you. Were glad youre doing okay. Stay well. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for having me.

The question is when theyre going to do it. When will they hold a trial of the impeached president . We dont exactly know when the proceedings will start, and democrats are still trying to figure out when to deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate. The senate will need to balance a trial and confirming all of joe bidens nominees to major, major positions. Meantime, sources tell cnn President Trump in urgent discussions about potentially pardoning himself, maybe his children against what could be criminal prosecutions ahead in connection also with violence at the capitol. Lets go to my colleague cnn legal analyst elie honig. Any state charges from the Southern District, he cant pardon himself against. But thanks for being with me tonight. Thanks, poppy. Lets start there with the pardons. If we see a slew of more pardons for the president s allies, thats one thing. But what about the extent to which he could possibly issue a mass pardon of those who stormed the capitol with violence . Can he do that . He can, poppy. Look, the president can pardon essentially anybody for any federal crime. My former office, the Southern District of new york, actually is a federal criminal office. Its part of the Justice Department. But theres the Manhattan District Attorney and those state charges hes not protecting against. Right exactly. Thats the important point here. Any charges that may be coming out of the manhattan d. A. , out of georgia, we know the georgia District Attorney is looking at the president s effort to interfere with the Election Results in georgia. Those are not covered by a president ial pardon. The other thing is the president has to be aware that hes looking at an impeachm
