SPEAKE OUR COUNTRY CAME UNDER ATTACK NOT FROM A FOREIGN NATION BUT FROM WITHIN. ED: HE WAS JUST STEPS AWAY WHEN A VIOLENT MOB, SURGED TOWARD MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. RIGHT NOW, THE RULES COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ON THE CHAOS, AND THE UNCERTAIN DAYS AHEAD LET’S GO ON THE RECORD. >> THE INSIDE WORD FROM WASHINGTON TO BEACON HILL, NEWSMAKERS GOING ON THE RECORD. ED: WELCOME TO ON THE RECORD, I’M ED HARDING ALONG WITH NEWSCENTER 5 POLITICAL REPORTER JANET WU. WE ARE LIVE IN STUDIO C THIS MORNING. KEEPING SOCIAL DISTANCIN PROTOCOLS BROUGHT ON BY THE PANDEMIC. WE ALSO WANT TO TAKE YOU LIV TO WASHINGTON DC WHERE THE AREA AROUND THE CAPITOL BUILDING IS LARGELY SEALED OFF. A MASSIVE MILITARY PRESENCE AFTER THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE OF JANUARY 6TH. SOME 20,000 NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO SECURE THE CAPITOL AREA AS THE NATION PREPARES TO INAUGURATE JOE BIDEN AS THE NEW PRESIDENT THIS WEEK. IT IS A SCENE FEW COULD HAVE IMAGINED FOR A PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER. AL LIVE FROM WASHINGTON, DC WE’RE JOINED BY CONGRESSMAN JIM MCGOVERN. HE WITNESSED THE STORMING OF THE CAPITOL, AND PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE SECOND IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH U HAPPY NEW YEAR SEE YOU. REP. MCGOVERN: HAPPY TO BE WITH BOTH OF YOU. JANET: IT IS A BIT EERIE TO SEE INDEPENDENCE AVENUE SO EMPTY BEHIND YOU. REP. MCGOVERN: IT REALLY IS THER A MORE TROOPS HERE THAN IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ COMBINED RIGHT NOW. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVEN AFTER 9/11. I’VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A DEPLOY OF FORCE. IT IS SAD. JANET: LET’S GET ONTO WHAT WE KNOW IS GOING TO BE HAPPENIN LET’S REFLECT ON WHAT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THE WERE WARNED DAYS BEFORE THE RIGHTS THAT VIOLENCE WAS LIKELY ON JANUARY 6. THE NATIONAL GUARD WAS REQUESTED BUT NOT GRANTED. AT THE IN D.C. POLICE SAID THEY WERE NOT TOLD. CAN YOU SORT THIS ALL OUT FOR US REP. MCGOVERN: I CANNOT BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT STILL DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS. WE WILL HAVE THE ANSWERS. WE WILL HAVE A REVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED. I AM RELIEVED THAT MORE PEOPLE WERE NOT HARMED AND KILLED. AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SIXTH. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH AN INFILTRATION OF THE CAPITOL GROUNDS SINCE WOR 1812 -- WAR OF 1812. IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT. ED: STAR WOR THAT INVESTIGATORS, PERHAPS KELLY’S GIVE TOWARDS THE DAY BEFORE. DO INVESTIGATORS HAVE THE NAMES OF LEGISLATORS WHO HELD TOURS THE DAY BEFORE THE INSURRECTION AND WHY? REP. MCGOVER I’VE HEARD THOSE REPORTS AND I DO NOT WHO GAVE FLOORS AND WHO DID NOT. THERE ARE SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE WHO GAVE OXYGEN TO THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, COMFORT TO THESE PROTESTERS, CHEERED THEM O IT IS INEXCUSABLE. FIVE PEOPLE ARE DEAD, SO MANY MORE WOUNDED. CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER WAS KILLED. THERE IS A VIDEOTAPE OF ONE BEING DRAGGED DOWN THE STAIRS AND BEATEN. THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE, CAFETERIA WORKERS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE COMMENTARY AND’S -- PARLIAMENTARIAN’ OFFICE. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP AND REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN GINNING UP THE SLIDE. ED BASED ON THE PASSION I AM HEARING WOULD YOU RECOMMEND CENSURE OR EVEN EXPULSION FOR ANY MEMBERS FOUND COOPERATING WITH INSURRECTIONISTS EITHER BEFORE OR DURING THE INVASION OF CONGRESS? REP. MCGOVERN: SOME OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE DECENCY TO RESIGN. THEY HAVE DISGRACED THEIR AUTHORIZED DESK THEIR OFFICE AND SHOWING CONTEMPT FOR THIS INSTITUTE -- THEY HAVE DISGRACED THIS OFFICE AND SHOW CONTEMPT FOR THIS INCIDENT TO SHOULD -- FOR THIS INSTITUTION. YOU NEED A SUPER MAJORITY TO EXPEL SOMEBODY. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. NOT ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE ON CAPITOL HILL BUT OUR COUNTRY. JANET: I KNOW YOU’RE WAITING FOR INFORMATION FROM INVESTIGATORS. HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT RIOTERS WERE ABLE TO INFILTRATE THE BUILDING WITH HELP FROM THE INSIDE IN THE DAYS PREVIOU I’M THINKING OF PANIC BUTTONS DISCONNECTED IN OFFICES LIKE IN CONGRESSWOMAN AYANNA PRESSLEY’S. REP. MCGOVER AGAIN THERE ARE LOTS OF QUESTIONS. IT WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE FOR ME TO SAY THIS IS WHY THIS HAPPENED OR THAT HAPPENED. THERE ARE LOTS OF QUESTIONS. CLEARLY THE SECURITY WAS INSUFFICIENT. FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SIXTH. QUITE FRANKLY THERE WERE LOTS OF WARNINGS. THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WAS CREATED AFTER 9/11 TO PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE. IT IS NOT WORKING THIS WAS A FAILURE. ED: LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS AHEAD. HOW DOES CONGRESS JUGGLE A SENATE TRIAL WITHOUT PUSHING THE SPOTLIGHT OFF JOE BIDEN IN THE OPENINGS DAYS & WEEKS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION IF HE IS GOING TO REBOOT THE COUNTRY REP. MCGOVERN: THE NINTH STATE SENATE CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME. THEY CAN PURSUE THE IMPEACHMENT CASE AND CONFIRM JOE BIDEN’ APPOINTEES AND MOVE ON TO OTHE THINGS. TO NOT PURSUE THIS, TO TURN BLIND EYE, THAT PAVES THE WAY FOR THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS WAS AN INSURRECTION. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPTED COUP, A VIOLENT ATTACK ON THE CAPITAL. THESE PEOPLE CAME HERE TO DESTROY PROPERTY AND KNAPP AND MURDER -- DESTROY PROPERTY, KIDNAP AND MURDER OFFICIALS. WE HAVE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. THERE HAS TO BE CONSEQUENCE. I HOPE THE SENATE WILL VOTE TO CONVICT. ED DO YOU THINK 17 MEMBERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WOULD CROSS LINES AND CONVICT FORMER TRUMP -- FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? REP. MCGOVERN: THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING. THE WORLD KEEP SEEING THE TAPES. YOU HE WHAT -- I DO NOT WANT TO CALL THEM PROTESTERS, THEY ARE HOMEGROWN FASCISTS, DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. THEY ARE SAYING THEY WERE HERE BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CAPITAL THAT TAKE THOUGHT TRUMP WAS HERE. AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR HIM, SAYING WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF TRUMP. MY WORRY IS THAT IN THE FEW DAYS HE HAS LET PEOPLE TRY TO PARDON SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. ED: INCLUDING HIMSELF? REP. MCGOVERN: I THINK WE’LL FIND EVERYONE INCLUDING HIMSELF AND HIS FIRM I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIM PARDONING THESE THIS MISTA TERRORISTS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED. JANE I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE FACI RECOGNITION ISSUE DRIVING THE INVESTIGATION. THERE ALREADY WAS A LOT OF POLITICAL DEBATE OVER POLICE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE FALSE IDENTIFICATION RATES AMONG BLACKS AND ASIANS IS DISPROPORTIONALLY HIGHER. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON IT? DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PLACE FOR IT AND ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH IT BEING USED? REP. MCGOVER THIS CANNOT BE THE ONLY EVIDENCE USED TO IDENTIFY PEOPLE. FACIAL RECOGNITION IS SOMETHING I HAVE EIGHT LOTS OF ISSUES WITH. AS YOU POINTED OUT IT HAS BEEN USED IN A WAY THAT IS DISCRIMINATORY. IT HAS BEEN FAULTY IN THE IDENTIFICATIONS IT HAS MADE AT PAST PROTESTS. THERE ARE ALSO PRIVACY CONCERNS. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE PREVENT THESE FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. THAT MEANS FOCUSIN ON THINGS LIKE FACTS, TRUTH AND HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE, NOT SPREADING LIES AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES. HOLDING MEDIA ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY PROMOTE THESE THEORIES. SOME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS WELL. ALL OF THESE HAVE TO BE TALKED ABOUT. THIS WAS A RADICALIZED POPULATION. WE NEED TO FI
OTR: Will impeachment run out of steam by the time it reaches Senate? Share Updated: 12:13 PM EST Jan 17, 2021 Share Updated: 12:13 PM EST Jan 17, 2021 Hide Transcript Show Transcript OUR SUNDAY ROUNDTABLE HAS COME -- >> WE’RE JOINED THIS MORNING BY DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL ANALYST MARY ANNE MARSH AND REPUBLICAN POLITICAL ANALYST ROB GRAY. YOU JUST HEARD JIM MCGOVERN. DO YOU THINK THE SENATE WILL LOSE GAS BY THE TIME A TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP BEGINS AFTER HE LEAVES OFFICE? MARY ANNE: NO IT WILL START IN A MATTER OF DAYS AND THAT WILL BE DETERMINED WHEN DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF THE SENATE, WITH THE NEWLY ELECTED SENATORS OF GEORGIA. THERE WILL BE A TRIAL TO IMPEACH AND CONVICT. THEY WILL ALSO DO COVID RELIEF AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS. THEY CAN DO ALL OF THESE THINGS, THEY JUST NEED TO GET STARTED. THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ANY DAY NOW. ED: THE CONGRESSMAN SAID A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME, CAN THEY? ROB: A LOT OF IT WILL BE UP TO JOE BIDEN, DOES HE PERSIST OR TAMP IT DOWN. AS IT INTERFERING WITH THE CONFIRMATION OF HIS COMPANY AND AGENDA AND ATTENTION ON HIS AGENDA. A LOT OF IT WILL BE UP TO A NATIONAL MEDIA THAT IS ADDICTED TO THE RATINGS THAT TRUMP BRINGS. THE RATINGS THAT AN IMPEACHMENT WOULD BRING. THAT WILL CROWD OUT JOE BIDEN’S MESSAGE. MARY ANNE: THEY WILL DO ALL OF THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A COUP, IF THAT IS NOT IMPEACHABLE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS. ROB: IT MAY HAPPEN, I DO NOT DOUBT IT MAY HAPPEN. BUT IT COULD FADE. JANET: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PRIVATE SECTOR. SOME CORPORATIONS ARE SUSPENDING DONATIONS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO VOTED AGAINST ELECTION CERTIFICATION. WHILE THE VAST MAJORITY HAVE NOT. ARE THESE TEMPORARY MEASURES NOTHING MORE THAN A DEFENSIVE MEASURE FOR THOSE BENDING ALTERNATIONS? ROB: MOST OF IT IS WINDOWDRESSING TO SATISFY A CANCEL MOB CALLING FOR IT. PART OF IT IS A LOT OF IT THESE CORPORATIONS DO NOT LIKE TO PLAY THE PARTICLE GAME. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GETTING OUT OF POLITICS AND THE HEADACHES IT BRINGS. IT WILL NOT LAST. A YEAR FROM NOW PEOPLE WILL B BACK TO THEIR INTEGRAL -- THE REGULAR PATTERNS. JANET: IS IT NO MORE THAN A CANCEL MOB? MARY ANNE: NO IT IS NOT. IT IS THE BARE MINIMUM A CORPORATION CAN DO. THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO VOTED AGAINST CERTIFICATION SHOULD BE BANNED AND ULTIMATELY I THINK THEY WILL BE EXPELLED OR CHARGED CRIMINALLY FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN A COUP. THE MISTAKE THE CORPORATIONS ARE MAKING THINK WE ARE NOT GIVING MONEY TO ANYBODY. DO NOT WANT DEMOCRATS WITH A MOP REPUBLICAN OPERATIONS THAT TRY TO TAKE DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT. ED: MASSACHUSETTS IS NOW 25TH OUT OF 50 STATES IN GETTING THE VACCINE DISTRIBUTED AND INTO THE ARMS OF FOLKS. SHOULD WE JUST REMAIN PATIENT OR IS THERE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG? MARY ANNE: BY ANY MEASURE, MASSACHUSETTS AS A FAILURE WHEN IT COMES TO VACCINATIONS. WE ARE LAST IN NEW ENGLAND, EVERY OTHER STATE IS BEATING US INCLUDING MAINE. WEST VIRGINIA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA IS BEATING US. WEST VIRGINIA. THIRD FOREST STATE IN THE COUNTRY, WE ARE 25TH. THEY ARE NUMBER 1, 2 AND THREE. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF DEATH PER CAPITA. NUMBER THREE IN THE COUNTRY BEHIND NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. WEST VIRGINIA USED THE NATIONAL GUARD TO GET THE VACCINATIONS DISTRIBUTED. NORTH DAKOTA AND SOUTH DAKOTA, HAVE GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES OF DISTANCE AND RURAL AREAS MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATES AND THEY ARE GETTING IT DONE. WHERE THE HEALTH CARE CAPITAL, ONE OF THE RICHEST STATES AND WE HAVE FALLEN ON OUR FACED. -- OUR FACE. ED: IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG? ROB: WE REMAIN PATIENT ON TESTING AND THERE’S STILL NOT ENOUGH. WE REMAIN PATIENT ON SCHOOLS, HALF OF KIDS ARE NOT IN SCHOOL. I AGREE. I DON’T THINK I’M GOING TO BE PATIENT ON THE VACCINATION. IT IS TIME TO MOVE TO THE 75 PLUS CATEGORY, GET THE SHOTS AND STOP DOING THIS STAGED ROLLOUT. MARY ANNE: BRING IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. JANET: LET’S SWITCH OVER TO CITY POLITICS. LOTS OF NAMES BEING BANDIED ABOUT TO REPLACE MARTY WALSH. ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN NAMES: WILLIE GROSS. WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS IF HE RUNS? ROB: I THINK THIS RACE WILL COME DOWN TO HOW MANY CANDIDATES ARE IN IT AND HOW TO VOTE AS BULLETS. THE PITFALLS FOR HIM IS THAT HE HAS NEVER RUN. BEING A FIRST-TIME CANDIDATE IS ALWAYS A HURDLE. SANTIAGO, WU, CAMPBELL, START OF WITH AN ADVANTAGE. JANET: MARIANNE? -- MARY ANN? MARY ANNE: DOES BOSTON WANT TO MARRY WHO MET WITH GEORGE BAR IN THE WAKE OF GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH WHO THEN MISHANDLED A PROTEST IN BOSTON AND CLAIMED IT WAS NT PEOPLE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEMS TO FIND OUT IT WAS ONE OF HIS OFFICERS CAUSED PROBLEMS. BY THE WEIGHT WE FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF HIS OFFICERS ATTENDED THE TO IN WASHINGTON -- COUP IN WA SHINGTON. IS THAT THE PERSON YOU WANT? ED: IT WAS RUMORED FOR WEEKS, YET EVEN MARTY WALSH’S TEAM WRITING HIS STATE OF THE CITY DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS ABOUT TO BE NOMINATED AS JOE BIDEN’S LABOR SECRETARY. IN HIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS HE MADE PROMISES TO BOSTONIANS WITH UNGUARDED EMOTION. >> THE TRUTH IS I AM NOT GOING TO WASHINGTON ALONE. I AM BRINGING BOSTON WITH ME. THE CITY IS NOT JUST MY HOMETOWN, IT IS MY HEART. ED: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, IS NOT FAIR TO ASK YOU THIS QUESTION, WHAT ABOUT HIS LEGACY AND WHAT GAP CAN’T BE FILLED, IF ANY? MARY ANNE: NO ONE HAS HANDLED IT BETTER THAN MARTY WALSH. BEFORE THAT HE HAD THE CITY ON A RENAISSANCE, ALL OF IT HAS TO BE PREPARED T HAS LED -- BUT HE HAS LEFT A GREAT FOUNDATION. ED: ROB? ROB: HE BALANCED WORKING PEOPLE’S INTEREST AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE DID NOT EXPECT FROM EIGHT LABOR LEADER. HE WAS FRIEN
Updated: 2:29 PM EST Jan 17, 2021 U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern was just feet away from the rioters who breached the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 and says the attack was "inexcusable." McGovern, a Democrat who represents the 2nd congressional district of Massachusetts, shared his experience at the Capitol during a live appearance on WCVB's "On the Record" Sunday morning.“I was in disbelief because I couldn’t believe that such a crowd could breach the United States Capitol," McGovern said. "When I walked down to the Speaker’s Lobby and I saw through those glass doors these people — these home-grown fascists, if you will – I saw evil in their eyes. I saw hate in their eyes. They were here to desecrate property. They were here to kidnap and kill people, and I will never ever forget it.“I am just relieved that more people weren’t harmed and more people weren’t killed as a result of what happened on (Jan. 6)," the congressman added. "I mean, we have never seen such an infiltration of the Capitol grounds since the War of 1812. It was a scary moment for everybody.”In response to the attack on the Capitol, security has been enhanced in Washington, D.C. ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.“There are more troops here than there are in Afghanistan and Iraq combined right now. I’ve never seen anything like this," McGovern said. "Even after 9/11, I haven’t seen such a deployment of force around the Capitol.“I feel that we’re in probably the most-secure place on the planet right now because you can’t get anywhere at the Capitol," he later said. "I’m not scared, but I am sad. I'm sad that we’re going to have an inauguration that is going to be heavily fortified where regular people can’t be here. I’m sad about that and I'm regretful that we’re at this point.”As chair of the House Rules Committee, McGovern played a key role in President Donald Trump being impeached for the second time last Wednesday. The U.S. House of Representatives voted 232-197 to adopt an article charging the president with "incitement of insurrection." Among those voting in favor of impeachment were 10 House Republicans.McGovern and other members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation are pushing for a quick impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate. However, the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the soonest he would start an impeachment trial is Tuesday, the day before Trump is already set to leave the White House."To not pursue this, to turn a blind eye to what happened, that really paves the way for this happening again," McGovern said. "This was an insurrection. This was an attempted coup. This was a violent attack on the nation’s capitol, a desecration of this building. These people came here to destroy property and to kidnap, and potentially murder, elected officials. You can’t just excuse this. You have to do what’s right. There has to be a consequence, and I hope that the Senate will vote to convict him."McGovern also expressed disdain toward Trump and those Republicans who "stoked this terrible riot" by continuing to make false claims about voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.“To some of my Republican colleagues who are talking about healing the nation right now: You can’t heal until there’s truth and until there’s accountability," he later said. "Some of these people gave oxygen to these conspiracy theories and, quite frankly, I’m pissed at them.”McGovern says he is worried that Trump will try to pardon himself and those involved in the Capitol riot in the final days of his presidency, and that he should no longer receive intelligence briefings once he leaves office."This guy should not be trusted with America’s secrets. Period," the congressman said.Trump is the first president in the history of the United States to be impeached twice. He was first impeached by the House on Dec. 18, 2019, on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate acquitted him of both charges on Feb. 5, 2020.

Heck, US-based group The Bilinda Butchers, who somewhat brazenly lifted the name of My Bloody Valentine’s guitarist, don’t wade nearly as deep into the tinnitus-inducing squall of the 80s shoegaze pioneers, instead opting for its sonically milder counterpart, dream pop.

First up, Netflix has been driving families crazy with their kid-friendly superhero movie We Can Be Heroes ever since it was released on New Year’s Day. If you’re among them, maybe you can break up the repeat viewing with this glimpse at the making of the movie, which features plenty of green screen and plenty of filmmaking secrets. Next, on the Tested channel, Adam Savage shows off the impressive, detailed replica of Chewbacca’s bowcaster from Star Wars: A New Hope that he built off-camera. It goes with an equally cool Chewbacca cosplay ensemble that is ready for whenever comic book conventions come back around, and it’ll make you want to figure out how to build your own weapon replica at home for all your nerdy gallivanting.
Updated: 11:59 AM EST Jan 10, 2021 Hide Transcript Show Transcript ED: WE'RE BACK LIVE ON OTR WITH COOK MAN STEVEN LYNCH. THERE WAS LOTS OF TALK ABOUT YOU HAVING TALKS WITH THE POSTMASTER GENERAL. HAVE YOU HAD TALKS WITH THIS TEAM RECENTLY? GUEST: NONE. I HAVE THE JOB THAT I WANT RIGHT NOW. LOOK, I'VE GOT -- I'VE GOT A DISTRICT THAT IS LIKE HEAVEN. I KNOW THE PEOPLE, I KNOW THE TOWNS, I KNOW THE CITIES, I KNOW THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, I KNOW OUR ISSUES, AND I'M IN A GOOD SPOT RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS IT TALKING ABOUT THEIR FIRST INITIATIVE IS REALLY TO TRY TO WORK NOT ONLY ON THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT ALSO ON A TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. I'M ON THAT COMMITTEE. I SERVE THE WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES SUBCOMMITTEE, AVIATION, RAIL, PIPELINES, SO I'LL BE IN A GREAT SPOT TO WORK WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON THAT BILL. AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. I ALSO HAVE MY FRIEND MARTY WALSH, WHO IS GOING TO BE SECRETARY OF LABOR, SO SECRETARY OF LABOR WILL HAVE A KEY ROLE IN THAT. THAT ROLLOUT, AND WORKING THAT BILL. AND IMPLEMENTING IT, SO THESE ARE EXCITING TIMES, AND I'M REALLY HOPEFUL THAT IN THIS FIRST YEAR OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET A LOT DONE. JANET WU: I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT GUY WHO WAS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOU, MARTY WALSH. YOU LIKE TO BOTH TALK ABOUT HOW AT ONE POINT IN YOUR LIVES, YOU WERE BOTH STANDING IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE TOGETHER. HE'S HEADED TO D.C. TO BECOME LABOR SECRETARY, SO LET'S TAKE A LISTEN. >> THE WORD LABOR MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. I READ WHAT IT TOOK TO TURN AN HONEST DAY'S WORK INTO AN HONEST DAY'S PAY. JANET WU: YOU'VE GOT 20 YEARS SENIORITY IN CONGRESS, SO A FEW THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR THE TWO OF YOU, HASN'T IT? GUEST: LOOK, I WANT TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF MARTY WALSH, MY PAL. WE BOTH STRAPPED ON THE WORK BOOTS TOGETHER, WE'RE BOTH PART OF THE AFC-CIO, BOSTON BUILDING AND TRADES UNION, AND WE'VE BEEN BROTHERS TOGETHER AND WE HAVE THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF STANDING IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE AT TIMES, BUT HOW ABOUT THAT? HOW ABOUT THE FIRST -- PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY THAT WE'VE GOT A SECRETARY OF LABOR, WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO STRAP ON A PAIR OF WORK BOOTS AND GO OUT AND WORK HARD EVERY DAY, IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND BECAUSE IT'S A CYCLICAL BUSINESS, HE ALSO KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO STAND IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE AND AT A TIME IN OUR COUNTRY WITH THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE GOT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, I MEAN, ISN'T IT GREAT TO HAVE SOMEONE -- I'M SO PROUD THAT WE HAVE -- YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE TIMES FIND THE PERSONAL, AND I THINK THESE TIMES HAVE FOUND SECRETARY WALSH AND JUST SO PROUD OF HIM, AND I'M HAPPY FOR LAURIE AND HIS MOTHER MARY AND HIS FAMILY. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HIS DAD, JOHN, WOULD FEEL, YOU KNOW, WHO IS ALSO A LABORER, AND HIS UNCLE PAT, PAT WALSH, WHO WAS AN ICONIC LEADER, WHO WAS A MENTOR TO ME, AND TO MARTY OBVIOUSLY IN THE LABORS UNION AND MYSELF AS AS AN IRONWORKER, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW PROUD THEY WOULD BE AT THIS MOMENT TO HAVE MARTY NOMINATED FOR LABOR SECRETARY. IT'S JUST A TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS OCCASION, AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM. ED: SO YOU LIKE HIM IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S JUST THE FEELING I'M GETTING? GUEST: I TALKED TO HIM RIGHT AFTER IT WAS CONFIRMED, BECAUSE HE WAS DOWN -- HE WAS ONE OF THREE AT THE END, AND HE ASKED ME, HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WASHINGTON REALLY, HE SAID, SO IF YOU COULD HELP ME ACCLIMATE DOWN THERE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, SO I'VE GOT A STUDIO APARTMENT. MARTY AND I HAVE BUNKED TOGETHER BEFORE IN THE PAST ON CAMPAIGNS FOR KERRY AND GORE, BUT MY APARTMENT IS A LITTLE BIT TOO SMALL, YOU KNOW. MAYBE HE COULD STAY THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIND A PLACE FOR HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JANET WU: YOU'VE GOT 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN D.C. I'M SURE YOU CAN HELP HIM OUT.
Updated: 12:03 PM EST Jan 10, 2021 Hide Transcript Show Transcript ED: GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. ILLS SUNDAY, JANUARY 10. CONGRESSMAN STEVEN LYNCH IS WITH US LIVE THIS MORNING. LET'S GO "ON THE RECORD," AN EYEWITNESS TO THE CHAOS IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING. THE FORMER IRONWORKER IS TAKING AN IRON STAND ON RESIDENT TRUMP'S RESPONSIBILITY. HIS CALLS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S REMOVAL. HIS HOPES FOR CHANGE WITH A NEW ADMINISTRATION. LET'S GO "ON THE RECORD." ED: WELCOME TO OTR ON THIS SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL ED HARDING, ALONG WITH NEWSCENTER 5'S POLITICAL REPORTER, JANET WOULD YOU. THESE -- JANET WU. THESE EXTRAORDINARY TIMES CONTINUE AS WELL AS THE PANDEMIC, WHICH IS WHY WE CONTINUE TO RESPECT THE SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS IN STUDIO C, WE'RE WELL DISTANCED BETWEEN THE THREE OF US HERE. LIVE AT THE CENTER DESK THIS MORNING IS CONGRESSMAN STEVEN LUNCH, THE DEMOCRAT FROM SOUTH BOSTON IS CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL SECURITY. CONGRESSMAN, ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE YOU, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANKS FOR BEING HERE. GUEST: THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU AND YOU TOO JANET. JANET WU: IMPEACHMENT IS FRONT AND CENTER. WHAT IS THE HOUSE SPEAKER TELLING YOU, THE DEMOCRATS, AS WELL AS THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO GET DONE? IS IT GOING TO GET DONE THIS WEEK? GUEST: THE SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW IS TO INTRODUCE THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION ON MONDAY, TOMORROW, AND THEN BE READY FOR A VOTE ON WEDNESDAY. SO THAT'S THE -- THAT'S THE SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW. IT'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BUT I THINK IT WILL HOLD FIRM. JANET WU: A VOTE ON WEDNESDAY, DID YOU SAY? GUEST: YEAH. A VOTE ON WEDNESDAY. JANET WU: BUT WHAT ABOUT A CONVICTION IN THE SENATE, IS THAT, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE BEFORE TRUMP LEAVES OFFICE IN LIGHT F THE SCHEDULE THAT THEY HAVE PUT OUT, SO WHY EVEN BOTHER AT THIS POINT? GUEST: WELL, WHAT THE SENATE DOES IS OBVIOUSLY UP TO THEM. IT'S 50/50 RIGHT NOW, BUT WITH VICE-PRESIDENT PENCE STILL IN OFFICE, AND THE SORT OF THE DECIDING VOTE, THE REPUBLICANS STILL HAVE CONTROL. SO UNTIL JANUARY 20th. BUT LOOK, YOU KNOW, FOR US TO IMPEACH I THINK IS FOR US IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S EVER A WRONG TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING. AND THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE SENATE AFTER VATICAN HAD THE PRESIDENT DIRECT A MOB ATTACK AGAINST THE CAPITOL, AGAINST THE HOUSE AND SENATE, PUTTING THEM ALL IN PERIL, THAT THEY WOULD BE RECEPTIVE TO AT LEAST DEBATING AND DISCUSSING THE MERITS OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST THIS PRESIDENT. BUT AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, TODAY, MITCH MCCONNELL IS SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T REALLY WORK WITH THE SENATE CALENDAR. IT DIDN'T WORK WITH OUR CALENDAR EITHER TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BUT UNDER THESE EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, AND BECAUSE DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN AND IS BEING THREATENED, WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR -- LOOK, FOR HISTORY'S PURPOSE, RIGHT, WE WANT TO KNOW WHO THE PEOPLE ARE THAT STAND UP AND DEFEND THE REPUBLIC AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHO THE QUIZLINGS ARE, LET'S GET ON THE RECORD. ED: WHAT ABOUT THE 25th AMENDMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? GUEST: WELL, YES, I SUPPORT THE APPLICATION OF THE 25th AMENDMENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THAT REQUIRES THE COOPERATION OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT. VICE-PRESIDENT PENCE. HE EITHER HAS TO INITIATE IT, OR HE HAS TO SUPPORT IT. AND RIGHT NOW, HE'S BEEN -- HE'S BEEN RELUCTANT TO DO THAT. HE'S EVEN BEEN RELUCTANT IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATING WITH HOUSE LEADERSHIP AND SENATE LEADERSHIP ON THAT MEASURE, SO YEAH, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THAT WERE THE CASE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE AVENUE, BUT IT'S CLOSED OFF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF COOPERATION ON THE PART OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT. JANET WU: HOW IMPORTANT IS THE ARGUMENT THAT THE SENATE COULD BAR HIM FROM RUNNING AGAINST -- RUNNING FOR OFFICE EVER AGAIN? HOW KEY IS THAT TO THE ARGUMENT FOR THE DEMOCRATS ESPECIALLY IN THE HOUSE? GUEST: WELL, IT'S IMPORTANTLY. IT'S IMPORTANT, RIGHT. THIS PRESIDENT SUPPORTED AN INSURRECTION AGAINST THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT. HE FORCEFULLY -- USED FORCE AGAINST THE HOUSE AND SENATE, AGAINST THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH TO STOP THEM FROM PERFORMING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY IN COUNTING, COUNTING, AND CERTIFYING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE RESULTS, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WARRANTS FORCEFUL ACTION ON THE PART OF ALL AMERICANS WHO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION. ED: CONGRESSMAN-- >>, AND SO THAT WOULD BE A GREAT RESULT IF THIS PRESIDENT WERE PREVENTED FROM BEING ON THE BALLOT AGAIN. THERE ARE OTHER MEASURES T YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW, CONSPIRACY IS ALSO OUT THERE, AND -- BUT THAT CAN BE PURSUED OFFICE. ED: I KNOW IT WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, BUT WHERE WERE YOU WHEN ALL OF IT STARTED TO UNRAVEL ON WEDNESDAY? AND WALK US THROUGH THAT, BECAUSE AS THE DAYS GO ON, SIR, WE'RE HEARING MORE HORROR STORIES, IT WAS MORE SCARY AS TIME HAS GONE ON. >> IRONICALLY, I WAS IN THE CAPITOL IN THE MORNING WITH ONE OF YOUR RELENTLESS REPORTERS REMOTELY, I WAS IN THE CAPITOL, BUT SHARON SAKETE, WE ACTUALLY DID AN INTERVIEW AND RIGHT THEN IN THE MORNIN, WE BEGAN TO HEAR STORIES ABOUT A BREACH AT THE CANNON BUILDING, THERE WERE REPORTS OF SUSPECTED DEVICES AND WE FOUND OUT LATER ON THEY WERE PIPE BOMBS, BUT WHEN IT REALLY HIT THE FAN, IT WAS AFTER PRESIDENT -- AND I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CROWD BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BUILDINGS AND ALSO MY APARTMENT, WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT A BLOCK AND A HALF AWAY, BUT WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE HIS REMARKS AND ORDERED, YOU KNOW, THE MOB UP TO THE CAPITOL, THAT'S WHEN THINGS CHANGED AND I WAS ACTUALLY AT THE RUSSELL BUILDING AT THAT POINT, AND HAD TO RETREAT TO MY APARTMENT, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CAPITOL POLICE WHO PUT A DETAIL OUT THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, A HORRIFIC, HORRIFIC CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT RESULTED IN FIVE DEATHS AND A COMPLETE DISGRACE IN TERMS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR DEMOCRACY AT THE DIRECTION OF THIS PRESIDENT. JANET WU: SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS OBVIOUSLY, HOW FEARFUL ARE YOU THAT ANOTHER MAJOR RIOT WILL TAKE PLACE ON INAUGURATION DAY? GUEST: SO THERE IS A LOT OF ACTION ON TWITTER, AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL TO PREVENT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT. I TRUST THAT THERE WILL BE MUCH BETTER PREPARATION AND MUCH BETTER LEADERSHIP IN TERMS OF RESISTING THAT ATTACK. BUT WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. I KNOW WE'RE TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS, THE FENCES ARE GOING UP, THEY ARE 20-FOOT FENCES, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S A SHAME, IT IS A SHAME THAT -- I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE CAPITOL FROM VIOLENT MOBS. IT'S JUST -- IT'S NOT HOW IT SHOULD BE. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN COUNTRIES WHERE THIS IS -- THIS IS THE NORM, YOU KNOW, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, YEMEN, SOMALIA, AND THE PROBLEM IS THERE THAT THE LOSING CANDIDATE ALWAYS SAYS IT WAS FRAUD, ALWAYS SAYS IT WAS FRAUD AND IT UNDERMINES THE DEMOCRACY, IT UNDERMINES THE GOVERNMENT, AND IT FEEDS THIS CHAOS WITHIN THOSE COUNTRIES, AND IT WORKS TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY. I'VE NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN HERE UNTIL NOW, AND IT'S A DISGRACE. ED: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE FEATURE. CAN DEMOCRATS STOP THE PRESIDENT FROM PARDONING HIMSELF? GUEST: YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN OPEN QUESTION. AND IT HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED YET. SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE, BUT HE HAS SAID THAT HE INTENDS TO PARDON ALL HIS KIDS, AND -- FROM ANY TRANSGRESSIONS AND HIMSELF AS WELL. THERE ARE STATE -- WELL, FIRST OF ALL, HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PARDON HIMSELF FOR IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES, AND HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PARDON HIMSELF FROM THE CHARGES THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE ATTORNEY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IS BRINGING AGAINST HIM ALREADY, SO THERE'S STILL SOME EXPOSURE FOR THE PRESIDENT. ED: THE SECONDARY RIPPLE TO THAT IS VICE-PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, I MEAN, SHOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP RESIGN, MIKE PENCE WOULD BE PRESIDENT FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN HE COULD ISSUE THE PARDON TOO, SO COULD SOMEONE STAND IN THE WAY OF THAT? GUEST: YEAH. WELL, YOU KNOW, IN MY ESTIM ESTIMATION, VICE-PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE IS LESS DANGEROUS THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP. SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. JANET WU: THE QUESTION THAT'S BEING ASKED REPEATEDLY ABOUT THE RIOTS IS IF THOSE RIOTERS WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR, WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN MORE SECURITY AT THE READY, WOULD THEY HAVE GOTTEN THEIR NATIONAL GUARD GOTTEN THERE SOONER, WOULD THEY HAVE EVER MADE IT EVEN ONE STEP INTO THE CAPITOL?
