Weakest and most vulnerable that we have seen President Trump in his four years in office. Besieged on all sides with calls for resignation, not only from a majority of democrats but also from some republicans, including republican senator lisa murkowski, republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, so you are seeing some pressure for the president to resign, and if not that pressure, then there are these calls for his impeachment or for the use of the 25th amendment to remove him from office or strip him of his president ial powers, and so, at this moment of vulnerability, youre also seeing a president increasingly isolated. He is facing this wave of resignations from senior officials in his administration, including two cabinet secretaries and now he has been stripped of his one outlet for attacks, for venting, whatever you want to call it, that we see the president do day in and day out. Last night, the president after being banned from twitter, he tried to use the potus account, his official government account on twitter to attack twitter and to essentially say that he was going to look for alternative ways of getting his message out, and the president decrying in a message, quote, we will not be silenced, clearly bothered and angry by this ban on twitter. Now, the president , though, is not really reflecting on his role in inciting that mob, that riot that we saw on capitol hill. Instead, what weve seen from the president in terms of any reflection on what he has done over the last week is some reflection on that video that he posted on thursday night. This is not the first video we saw in which he said that he loved these great patriots who were on capitol hill. This is the one where he condemned the attacks on capitol hill, and he committed himself to a peaceful transfer of power on january 20th. According to our sources, the president appears to have expressed some regrets of actually issuing that video on twitter, which tells you everything you need to know about where the president s head is at right now. Ana . Jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you. Over on capitol hill right now, leading House Democrats are not just talking impeachment, theyre planning to start the impeachment process as soon as monday if the president is still in office then. Manu raju is on capitol hill. Manu, just a few minutes ago, i spoke with california democrat ted lu. He told me on cnn he fully expects a vote to impeach the president a second time and he also says that some republicans are on board. What else can you tell us . Reporter yeah, and that will be the question is how many republicans ultimately vote for this. Were already getting indications some want the president out of office, a republican like Adam Kinzinger of illinois whos been sharply critical of the president s conduct after the november elections, most House Republicans are still on trumps side, but will any others break ranks . When will they officially say will definitely impeach this president because all signs are pointing to that, that President Trump will have the dubious distinction of being the only president in American History who will be impeached twice by the house of representatives. Now, things are expected to move pretty quickly and monday, that article of impeachment will be introduced, it will accuse the president of inciting an insurrection, detail his actions after the election and detail his efforts on wednesday, his comments on wednesday, that led to the incitement of that mob that came to capitol hill and led to multiple deaths, including one of the United StatesCapitol Police officers. Now, after that is introduced, then the legislative process will move forward, including an effort by the House Rules Committee to set the parameters for the floor debate, which could occur by the middle of next week when the full house would vote. At the moment, there are 180 cosponsors, democrats who have signed on to this resolution to impeach the president. They need a majority of the house. Theres expectation they would do that because 222 democrats currently serve in the house. But the question will be, what happens then . If the president doesnt step down by then, theres no indication or expectation that the senate would have come back before its scheduled to return on january 19th to have that impeachment trial. Mitch mcconnell telling his colleagues privately that essentially that is not going to happen unless all 100 senators agree to that, which will not happen, so that means that the impeachment trial, ana, could be kicked into postjanuary 20th, maybe january 20th itself in the afternoon or january 21st when joe biden is president , when democrats of the Senate Majority at that point, the early days of Trump Administration the Biden Administration could be filled with the efforts to convict donald trump, efforts to prevent him from returning and running for office again, so all those things will still have to play out in the days ahead, but at the moment, ana, democrats pushing full steam ahead to the president s second impeachment. Before i move on to congressman clyburn to talk about just that, i do want our viewers to know and show them something else. This is an image that was taken on wednesday, video from wednesday, on capitol hill during the siege of the capitol. Members of congress were forced to huddle in a secure location in pretty tight quarters and several men and women, all republicans, are being offered masks. They refused to wear them. Reporter lisa is the democrat there in the red who was trying to hand those masks out to those six republicans who were all in a secure location with other democrats and republican members following the mob coming into capitol hill. There are rules in the house that require members to wear masks, aides to wear masks, reporters to wear masks when they are walking through the halls of the house or theyre seated in meetings like this. Clearly in violation of that. They refused to wear it. One congressman, mark wayne mullen, told lisa rochester, i dont want to get political here. Others there in the picture, including scott perry of pennsylvania, rejecting the offer of a mask. Andy bigz of arizona, Margery Taylor green of arizona, conservative republicans, green herself a freshman who has gotten into fights on the house floor about whether she should she should be required to wear a mask and which she is, according to the rules, and of course, ana, the big reason why, this place, capitol hill, has been a bit of a hot spot for covid19. It has spread from member to member, to aides and others. Thats why the rules are there, to wear a mask. But these members defying them, ana. And yet, were still seeing records broken when it comes to the number of americans who are dying every day, more than 370,000 americans have lost their lives to the coronavirus. Thank you, manu raju. One question we dont have answers to is how a group of Trump Supporters turned domestic terrorists were able to break into the u. S. Capitol, a building that should be among the most secure in the world. Both parties want answers. Were learning democrats are raising questions as to whether some Capitol Police aided the rioters and were complicit in the insurrection. Among those raises this possibility is House Majority whip james clyburn. Hes with us now. Congressman, all these allegations that some Capitol Hill Police officers may have been complicit in this attack, its stunning. What have you learned that makes you think this is even a possibility . Well, thank you very much for having me. What i think is very, very clear. Irrespective of whether or not there was complicity here, there was a tremendous dereliction of duty. We are where we are in this country today with covid19 because of a lack of leadership, and i dont know whether or not the head of the Capitol Police, the sergeantatarms in both the house and the senate, maybe they are taking on the Leadership Practices of the president of the United States, because its very clear to me that they were derelict in their duties to their employees or should i say to the rank and file members and they were derelict in their duties to the congress of the United States. When i drove into the capitol on wednesday morning, around 8 30 a. M. , trying to get there in time for my 9 00 meeting, where we were going to talk about whether or not we had everything in place to protect members, i noticed that there wasnt anything different from what it was when i drove on to the campus the day before. I expected to see perimeters established that would prevent any kind of activity like we saw. It was not there. Those kinds of orders must come from on high, and it was not there. And then we go to the meeting and i asked the chair of house administration, and she said she had been assured that everything was in place to protect members. It was not there. And later in the day, when i participated in discussions between the leadership of the Security Forces and the leadership of House Democrats, we were getting mixed messages. So, something was derelict here, and i think that those resignations which have been submitted were very, very deserving. And i would hope that the new leadership that comes in will be a little more diligent in carrying out their duties and responsibilities to keep the capitol safe, not just for members but for visitors, for staff, for those people who have business in that building. I want to move on to impeachment in just a second, but real quick, a followup, because i just want to clarify here. I mean, its one thing to drop the ball. Its another thing to allege that, you know, police or Law Enforcement were actually complicit or trying to help the rioters accomplish whatever it was that they were after and trying to accomplish here. Do you believe that police were trying to help these rioters in some fashion . Well, i believe my eyes, and i looked at these videos, and i saw barriers, those barricades, being removed and people being waved in. I saw what was going on with some members, some of the Law Enforcement people taking selfies with these insurrectionists. I believe my eyes. Lets talk about the impeachment now, because based on the conversations you have had with your republican colleagues, im curious how many do you think will actually vote to impeach President Trump . I dont know. But that should not be the basis for our action. I am very concerned, not just about what is happening with this president but what will happen with this country going forward. Now, i know that everything ive heard about, the articles being drawn up and will be limited to one article dealing with the insurrection or whatever we may call it, inciting to riot. Thats important. But let me tell you whats also important. The most fundamental thing about a democracy is the integrity of the vote. And we had this president and the secretary of state in georgia with everybody listening to the tape, trying to encourage the secretary of state down in georgia to disregard the results of the election and to overturn those things and give him his 11,700 someodd votes that he needed in order to declare a victory. That is impeachable. And we ought not let that go. Im getting a little sick and tired of us allowing things like that. Just let it go. We should not let that go. That is very fundamental. And so if youre going to have articles of impeachment, i think its got to cover that action as well. So, i am really concerned about that, and im making it very known to the members of my caucus that this is not just about trump. This is about this democracy that we all hold dear. And we ought not ignore what he attempted to do with that vote down in georgia. We did have a chance to see the draft of this one article of impeachment, which is incitement of insurrection, and it does reference the phone call with the georgia secretary of state asking him to find enough votes, but ultimately, they link that into what culminated in this insurrection attempt. There are now just 11 days left in President Trumps term. Mitch mcconnell has said that a senate trial wouldnt even happen until after bidens inauguration, so if this is about getting trump out of office, because hes a danger to the american people, doesnt this timeline make that a moot point . Well, as i just said, its not only about trump. It is about whether or not were going to send a signal to anybody who ever occupies the white house again, that we are not going to ignore any attempts on your part not just to cause an insurrection but to ignore the will of the people. So, this impeachment that i am pushing very hard for, i think, is necessary for us to say, at least the house of representatives will not tolerate this. Well let Mitch Mcconnell determine whether or not the senate will tolerate this. Now, if you look at it, even if he doesnt have but one day left, lets move forward and get this done. And it will send a signal to anybody who ever runs for the office to know that you are not going to use precedent as established by donald trump in order to conduct yourself when you carry out your duties and responsibilities. So this is much more than donald trump. I want to ask you about a pair of photographs that were taken during the attack on wednesday. The first shows a noose. That was constructed near the capitol. The second shows rioter carrying a Confederate Flag through the halls of congress, something that has never happened before, not even during the civil war. You likely know this but i want to make sure our viewers know that the portrait to the right of this rioter carrying that Confederate Flag depicts senator charles sumner, and in 1856, sumner was viciously beaten on the senate floor by a fellow Congress Member for giving a speech against slavery. The portrait to the left depicts former Vice President and slave holder john calhoun. What is your reaction to an image like that . Well, i thank you very much for asking that question, because let me give a little bit of Historical Context to this for your listeners. First of all, sumner was attacked by a South Carolinaen from abbeyville, South Carolina, and caned to near death, so as a former teacher of history and everyday student of history, i kind of keep up with those things. But the second thing i would like to point out is that the confederate battle flag, thats not the Confederate Flag. Thats never been the Confederate Flag. Those insurrectionists back in the 1800s tried to get that flag adopted as the Confederate Flag but their socalled stars and bars was a circle of stars and three bars. That flag that you see and that cross that a lot of people think are bars, thats the st. Andrews cross and that flag was resurrected and used by Nathan Bedford forest, the founder he says he was not the founder but some indications are that he was the founder, certainly, the perpetrator of the ku klux klan. So, today, that flag has taken on a different meaning because when the people of germany outlawed the swastika, thats the flag thats been adopted by the White Supremacists and the other hate groups in germany. They cant use the swastika, so they use that flag. So that flag carries a current meaning that has nothing to do with the confederacy, and it ought to say to all my friends in South Carolina and across this country, we should be dissociating ourselves from that flag because that flag has nothing to do with heritage. It has nothing to do with the history even if you want to be sensitive to the confederacy, it has a totally different meaning that we should all keep in mind when we go about carrying out our duties and responsibilities.
