Getting the medal of freedom. The highest medal of honor. Im not going to take it. Bill belichick football, a whole different thing. For all the people making excuses for President Trump, shame on you. Shame on you for the last however many years. Shame on you. You were warned. I got to tell you, chris, i didnt see you this weekend, i know i was supposed to come over and hang out with you. I spent the whole weekend you know how i feel about this, kind of, because we covered it together. I spent almost all weekend in bed in a state of depression, pretty much. The more i saw of this video because we were in the middle of it, reporting on it. You dont get a chance to absorb it, right, like just sit back and look at it. The more it started coming across on my phone, the more i watched it on tv, it got worse and worse and worse. Our worst fears were realized. Our worst fears. It was the worst of the worst. We saw people who had been talking about, we support Law Enforcement, Blue Lives Matter, and theyre beating a Police Officer with a Blue Lives Matter flag. Support the flag, you shouldnt be kneeling, respect the flag. And theyre Beating Police officers with a damn american flag. What is wrong and then you have those two lawyers who come on tv and they try to make excuses for this man. Listen, under the american constitution he has every right to a defense, as you know. But what do you think, were boo boo the fool . We are not sam sausagehead and su suzy sausagehead where you can pull one over on us. Hes there, smiling at a lectern, at a place where he wasnt supposed to be. If i walked into macys after i leave here tonight and it says on the door that its closed, and i happen to find one door thats open and i go in, im not supposed to be there even if the door was open. Im going to face republercussi for that. So is he. Do not insult the american peoples intelligence by saying, well, this isnt who he is, hes a great whatever. No, he was there. He wasnt one of the people who said, i should not go into the capitol. He went in with the crowd. And hes got triple charges. And i think hes going to have a problem. Their argument is hes not one of the worst. Thats fine. It may work, it may not. My point is hes lucky hes got his wifes money to pay for a defense like that. Those guys are the real deal. If he was defending himself or getting some other kind of lawyer, he may not be getting as sophisticated of options that he has. Heres my concern. I wanted that guy because of that picture and because he has become a symbol with a smile on his face that something should be disgusting. His lawyer is there to pretend to defend his rights, theyre not there to answer for him as a person. But i tell you what, these people get a hell of a lot worse than that guy in terms of why theyre doing this. And i know, as well as you know, a lot of people are in the business of smoking out threats for us, and they are scared sless, okay . They have so much from so much who feel so empowered and all these groups they used to have to dig for are now just popping up on platforms. That guy feels just as empowered i dont buy that. You know what my black my black butt would never have been in that capitol, you know why . Because i believe that police would beat the crap out of me. Those guys did not believe that police were going to beelt tat crap out of them. And they didnt. Thats the whole point. Thats why its so frustrating to me. There are different systems of justice, and if that guy had been do you think a black guy would be on tv saying something . No. He may have been on tv, but he wouldnt have been getting treated that way. He probably could not afford those, for the most part, that type of attorney. I wouldnt want to be a black guy in the middle of a crowd of rioters. Who knows what the cops would have done to you. Or a journalist or even a woman. They had all those tough guys and who did they let die . The woman amongst them died. Think about that. They couldnt even protect the women in that crowd. Heres my big concern, okay . We know that the politicians rubio, other big names, theyre either hiding or theyre coming out and treating this like its a comedy, like this is the latest in a series, theyll compare it to what happened over the summer no, theyre talking about something thats b. S. Which is censorship and the First Amendment and have nothing to do with it. Theyre playing the victim, okay . This isnt over. And until people like rubio and those guys stop talking their b. S. And own how wrong this was, the politicians are useless. Im telling you, this is going to turn into a Law EnforcementNational Security situation that is going to be busting out in pockets all over the country. And yes, trump is a big part of this, but he didnt do it alone, and this is not going to be the end, don. That scares me a lot. But let me tell you yeah, im angry. Everyone should be angry by this. Everyone should be holding the lawmakers feet to the fire, holding them accountable, including trump, including marco rubio, including ted cruz, including josh hawley. Including, as a matter of fact, pat toomey who is now saying, oh, well, you know, the president but he also said in the same breath that, oh, trump has never exhibited this type of behavior. Thats their new riff. He changed. Where have you been . Hes different now. No, youre different. Now youre scared. Heres the proof of it, don. If they were acting in good faith. If you and i were at a scene and said, people need to come down here right now. This is a gross injustice, and then if people came all angry with what were talking about, we wouldnt run. We asked them to come. These people all ran and hid because they knew what they were playing with. You know how you hold your lawmakers accountable . You call them out and then you get to decide who you vote for and you vote them out. We dont have much time. This is happening now. I believe in the american people. I believe in our democracy. And i think that people will face the consequences of this. And i dont believe that this is censorship, and i dont believe that anybody has any right to any sort of platform, especially when it is a private entity. That is not censorship, that has nothing at all to do with the First Amendment. The First Amendment has to do with the congress. It doesnt allow you, as a Supreme Court justice said, the First Amendment is not designed to let you shout fire in a crowded theater. And thats what this is. I dont know if its equivalent to that. Tell them to calm down, go after them, dont let him certify . You know you can scream fire in a crowded theater, thats a misnomer. If you do and people get hurt, youre going to jail. Maybe. Thats the law. Its not really the law. That was overturned, too, that whole i dont want to get into that because its too far removed. Im not talking about hate speech or whats protected. All im saying is this. You cant incite riots. The fire in a crowded theater is a misnomemisnomer. It was a protection of speech versus action. It was overturned. Okay. Im just saying this. People are watching your show tonight because of you, as always, but also because theyre afraid about whats going to happen next, and they should be. They should be afraid because according to some, it may have been an inside job. The calls may have been coming from inside the house, and that is a scary proposition. All 50 states are being planned. Maybe theyre just successful on one or two. Ill be watching. I love you, d. Lemon. I love as well. Yes, this is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. I am mad, and you should be mad, too. Because i want to know, does anyone out there feel safe in our democracy tonight . Considering everything that youve heard today from the fbi, from Law Enforcement, from people who have been arrested and the people who are suspected. Sadly, some of them, Police Officers themselves, Law Enforcement. They were heroes but Law Enforcement are human beings as well. The fbi is warning that there could be armed insurrection in all 50 states. The current president is hiding in the white house. Hes bitter over his loss. Hes showing absolutely no remorse for the insurrection that he incited. And on the verge of becoming the only president in our history to be impeached twice, thats who he is. He also met with mike pence in the oval office today, the first time they have spoken in five days since the president incited that attack on capitol hill, and he did it on the capitol. In fact, i put pence and h the and his family in danger. Did the president and Vice President discuss at the time an unprecedented i should say at a time of unprecedented National Crisis . What did they discuss . They tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug with the absurd claim that the rioters who were encouraged to march to the capitol by the president had nothing to do with trumps supporters. Hmm. Wow. I guess not, because those signs are not trump signs. Nope. Not at all. Youre not seeing. Dont believe your eyes. They marched from a trump rally, they were carrying trump flags, they were wearing trump hats. And trump all kind of regalia. Yet a source was telling the Vice President that he feels he made his point. He made his point. These rioters chanted, hang mike pence. Hang mike pence hang mike pence hang mike pence hang mike pence hang mike pence hang mike pence there could be more of the same in the days ahead with armed protests planned at all 50 state capitols in washington, d. C. From january 16th to inauguration day. As far as what happened on january 6th, the more we see from that terrible day look at that. They were, heave, ho, heave, ho. An out of control mob of Trump Supporters battling police desperately trying to hold them back. Okay okay okay okay back off back off back off back off and then there is this stomachturning moment, a Police Officer being stomped on, beaten with you got it an american flag. Assaulted hours after rioters began clashing with police at almost the same time the president released that video telling his supporters who stormed the capitol, we love you. Well, tonight this is one of the men authorities want to talk to, and they want your help, asking anybody who can identify him to call metropolitan police department, the metropolitan police department. And there are more warnings from the fbi, threats to harm president elect biden and Vice President elect harris and the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. With just nine days to go until inauguration day. Joe biden says hes not afraid to take the oath of office outside. Im not afraid of taking the oath outside, and weve been briefed, but i think its critically important that there be a real serious focus on holding those folks who engaged in sedition and threatened peoples lives, defaced public property, caused great damage, that they be held accountable. And i think thats a view thats held by a vast majority of democrats and republicans in the congress. Hmm. I respect what youre saying, mr. President elect, but i dont know if i would. Because this is not over yet. This is about how we prevent the unthinkable from happening again. If you werent ready for it before, you sure as hell need to be ready now. Im talking about you out there watching. What is our government doing to keep us safe . What are they doing . Who is the government anymore, anyway . And why should we have any faith in this administration when they seem more worried about optics and about papering over what we all saw happen. And the president. I dont know how many times Maggie Haberman reports that hes more upset about the pga turning down his club and going home and the pga not playing at his bedminster golf club. He is denying the medal of freedom that trump was set to give Bill Belichick on thursday. Belichick said the tragic thing that happened on wednesday led to his decision. Trump has been permanently banned from twitter. Listen to this exchange with fox news yesterday. With the social media crackdown, does he feel emasculated as he heads out of office . I wouldnt say emasculated. The person to feel emasculated is the president of the United States. Ive heard a lot of pathetic things from this white house. This one really takes the cake. A big tough guy who incited a riot and then hid in the white house for five days and still refuses to take responsibility. Hes the president of the United States. Hes the most masculine come on, man, shut up. Shut up he is the biggest snowflake of them all, the biggest one i dont want to hear about your feelings. Give me facts and not feelings. Why are you coddling his feelings all the time . Why are you coddling all these peoples feelings . We need to understand how they feel. They need to give him time to accept the election. Really . Who is the snowflake now . Like the guy with the horns now whose mom reportedly said, oh, well, hes not eating because they wont serve him an allorganic meal in the lockup. Snowflakes. Cowards. The president s legacy will be not the most masculine president , but the biggest loser we have ever had as president. Maybe that should have been the name of his show instead of the apprentice, the biggest loser. Look where he has led the republican party, look where he has led this country. Look where we are right now. This country is in flames. Along with his enablers, of course, hes done it, because hes had a lot of enablers. Theres senator josh hawley who wanted to be the poster child for american values. Hallmark now wants him to return their campaign donation. And another republican colleague, to him and another republican colleague. A spokesperson saying hallmark believes the peaceful transition of power is part of the bedrock of our democratic system, and we abhor violence of any kind. Do you want to know what the translation in that is . Hallmark hears enough to send its very best message to you, josh hawley, thats what it means. Oh, and susan collins. Oh, susan collins. Susan, im very concerned, susan collins. Very concerned but then voted for the worst. Almost every time voted right along with this president , but now shes very concerned. Shes been very concerned all the time. Sitting there telling the Bangor Daily News while she was sheltered in the white house, i immediately called and texted my closest contact at the white to us to urge that the president immediately tell the rioters to stop their violence and go home. But President Donald Trump completely undercut that message by repeating his grievances and telling the rioters that he knew how they felt. This was terrible, especially since he incited them in the first place. I believe that the president has learned from this case. What do you believe the president has learned . The president has been impeached. Thats a pretty big lesson. Senator pat toomey says it wasnt just his job to be editor of the president s twitter feed. He descended into a level of madness and engaged in activity that was just absolutely unthinkable and unforgivable. For four years he often put out offensive and objectionable tweets, actually sometimes dozens a day. I never felt and i still dont think that my job was to be the editor of his twitter feed, although i was very often critical. But, you know, this raises the question of why did 75 Million People vote for this man whose character flaws were always very apparent . Because people like you and the like carried his water and told lies. Allowed the lies to spread. Thats why. Senator, nobody asked you to be the editor of the president s twitter feed, the one he has been permanently barred from, the one he is whining about, about how theyve taken away his freedom of speech. The fact is these are private companies. They have no obligation to have anyone on their platforms. These are decisions that have nothing to do with congress, except perhaps for people trying to kill them. Think about it this way. If theyre going to espouse freedom of speech, right, being taken away, perhaps this will help you understand if you frame it in that manner. If you frame it in the freedom of religion argument that you use so much. Twitter and amazon and the like, they are the christian bakery. Okay . Trump is the gay couple who wants a gay wedding cake. First amendment. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Thats what it says. It says nothing about twitter or social media. The congress. Dont get it twisted. Stop using that argument. It makes no sense. And then there is senator roy blunt who still thinks the president learned his lesson. My personal view is that the president touched the hot stove on wednesday and is unlikely to touch it again. They will never learn, even as senator Lindsey Graham telling the Washington Post this, the president saw these people as allies in his journey and sympathetic to the idea that the election was stolen. The president looked at these people on live tv. We saw a mob. He saw allies. What more do you need to know . But there is a lesson that we can learn from a true american hero. U. S. Capitol Police Officer eugene goodman. Rioters chased that officer up several flights of stairs. What happened next caught on tape. Officer goodman glances to his left. He sees there are no police guarding the senate chamber, that manages to loiter the rioters, still saving everyone in the senate chamber. Thats what i call a hero. I only wish the people who you protect were proving themselves worthy of service. The question is, do you feel safe in our democracy, with all 50 states warned of attacks after what we saw at the capitol wednesday . Do you feel safe . Wednesday was existential. Wednesday was something that struck the very heart of what it means to be american, and it was wrong. When you drive this smooth, you save with allstate. The future of Auto Insurance is here.

Tonight sources say that President Trump and Vice President pence spoke for the First Time Since the riot cited by mr. Trump. I want to bring in cnn White House CorrespondentKaitlan Collins and cnn correspondent evan perez. Welcome to both of you. Im so happy my colleagues are safe considering what could have been so im just so thankful to see all of you who work in washington, and thank you for doing what you do. Kaitlan, were going to start with you. The president cited the capitol insurrection where we heard chants to hang mike pence. We heard it over and over. What are you learning about President Trump and Vice President pence tonight . Reporter i think the most remarkable thing about this is they went this long without speaking. Since that riot broke out until today, they have not spoken, and thats probably the longest stretch of their entire relationship since Vice President pence was named as his running mate in 2015 that Something Like this has gone on. They used to speak several times a day. Don, were learning that they did meet in the oval office today. During this conversation, they agreed to serve out the remainder of their term. Of course, that comes after several republicans, including on cnn, had called for the president to step down before his term was up a little over a week from today. Thats not going to be happening, but i think the other thing this signals is people who were hoping that mike pence was going to get the cabinet together and invoke the 25th amendment, this seems to be a pretty clear sign to add to our reporting that he is not going to do that. But it is remarkable they went that long without speaking given, as you noted, pence was up there as that was going on and the president never called to check in on him. Evan, capitol hill attack. It was, to say the least, horrifying. Now there is an fbi bulletin obtained by cnn warning of armed protests at all 50 state capitols and d. C. Capital leading up to the inauguration. What do you know about that . I think the warning that Law Enforcement is getting is off the charts. What youre seeing from the fbi is frankly something they did not do before wednesday. There were all kinds of indications, including on social media, that things could get violent. They knew that there was certain people who were planning to come who were known to be associated with groups that are known for violence, and there was no such nothing like this that had gone out across the country. There were a bunch of regional type of warnings. So what theyre doing is being proactive because this is for real, that there are these types of threats across the country. In all 50 states, youre going to see these types of armed protests. Some of them might get violent. And so i think they needed to make sure that Law Enforcement was ready for it. Thank you both. I appreciate you both joining us this evening. They were there when the riots broke out at the capitol and they have different opinions on who to hold accountable and how. Thats next. I didnt realize how special it would be for me to discover all of these things that i found through ancestry. I discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. You see this scannedin, handwritten document. The most striking detail is her age. She was only 17. Knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something that was eye opening. Bring your Family History to life like never before. Get started for free at ancestry. Com they are formally introducing their impeachment articles by wednesday. Joining me, congressman allred from texas. Congressman, thanks for joining me. Im glad youre okay. Thank you for joining. Thank you for having me, don. I wish we were talking under different circumstances. Absolutely. And youre 100 right. It looks like there is an Impeachment Vote on wednesday, you support it, so what do you say to the many republicans who say its too late and too divisive, that we need unity right now . Lets be very clear. This is one of the worst attacks on our democracy in our history. Not in our modern history, in our total history. The capitol of the United States was attacked by a mob of the supporters directed by the president of the United States who called them there and who sent them there. And there has to be accountability for that. Not just for this moment in our history, but for 100 years from now and for every democracy that follows us, we have to show that when you do Something Like this, there are results and there are consequences. I have to ask you, two Police Officers, capitol Police Officers were suspended, including the officer who took that selfie with a member of the violent mob. As many as 17 are under investigation, according to a house aide. Do you worry people in the ranks may be complicit . Well, i also saw another side, because i was on the house floor, don. And i saw Capitol Police risking their lives to try and save our lives. The two officers that we lost certainly risked their lives to save our lives. Weve all seen the image of that capitol Police Officer who led that mob away from the senate chamber. And so while there may be some who didnt do their duty that day, the vast, vast majority did. And im speaking with you right now because they did. Listen, i agree with you. Its just shocking. They were heroes, and if you look at the video of the Officers Holding the line and protecting people, and that officer, one officer leading them away from the chamber, you are 100 right, but it is disturbing to think that 17 are under investigation and two capitol Police Officers are suspended and the one taking the selfie. Police officers are human and theyre fallible, but youre right, the vast majority are heroes. The House Speaker wants to make the president pay for inciting the mob, but does she think impeachment is the answer . In a year of changes. Dont take chances on your taxes. Be 100 certain with Jackson Hewitt. Well get your taxes done right, guaranteed. 2020s done well get your taxes done right, guaranteed. A new era has begun so keep pushing forward. Because this is twenty twenty won make a different future start different at godaddy. Com House Democrats planning an gee Impeachment Vote for wednesday, but will the gop ever hold this president accountable for his actions . Will they . Joining me is congresswoman nancy mace from california. Thanks so much for joining me. Again, i am so happy that you are safe, i really am. You are speaking out against what the president did, but youre also asking president elect biden to step in and stop the impeachment efforts against President Trump. Right. Why is that, congresswoman . The house of representatives has the right to impeach the president of the United States, but hes going to be gone in a weeks time. When the house, not really if, its really just a matter of when. When this is voted on, when the house sends articles of impeachment over, the senate is not even going to get them until january 19th, and january 20th is when joe biden will be sworn in as president , and i do believe this will distract us from trying to rebuild our country. We need a fresh start, we need a peaceful start. And as you mentioned earlier on the program, there are threats of violence. It sounds like january 17th is a potential day. But also i really worry about the inauguration as well, and if a partisan rushed partisan impeachment effort over the next few days causes more division, its like throwing gas on a fire. I dont think anybody wants another 10 da 0100 days of trum want to move on. There is a bipartisan and bicameral effort im receiving. I just received a copy of a different censure document. There are multiple documents floating around, but the question is will Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer allow for another version . The answer is no. Americans want accountability and that includes a heck of a lot of republicans around the country as well. It does, and ive been very vocal and very outspoken against members of my own party. I think its really important that we acknowledge the problem, that we take responsibility for the problem and we find solutions. Im willing to work across the aisle. I want to have a fresh start on january 20th. I will work with the Biden Administration on ways to do that. There are a lot of mixed feelings about a rushed and partisan impeachment, what that means to due process and the constitution. The same reasons we all voted to affirm and certify the Electoral College, there are questions about rushing an impeachment without due process. And so the constitution is our guiding principle, but there are folks in both the senate and the house, republicans and democrats, who are trying to find a bipartisan measure, but were hearing the speaker wont take it up. Thats the problem with this. I think people are tired of the partisanship. This is a time to work together. I really and truly believe that. Speaking of, a lot of republicans are calling for unity, but who exactly are democrats supposed to unify with . The terrorists who stormed the capitol . The ones who stoked the Election Fraud lie . It comes from people willing to work together. It comes from republicans saying this is wrong, and there are a number of us, so we have denounced this. We need to do more, and ive taken it upon myself to even take it up with members of my own party. A didnt know what qanon really was before last wednesday, and i spent a lot of time over last week educating myself. When i look at what happened in the chamber, after the violence, that we allowed qanon conspiracy theorists to lead us on this charade to try and direct and overturn the Electoral College, im baffled, im disappointed, im saddened and angered over it. Im doing all i can to hold my party accountable. Its really important to acknowledge what happened here. We dont deny that fact and we try to move forward. You dont need my advice because youre a grown woman. You dont need my advice, but dont change. Continue to go on every Single Network and continue to be the voice of reason that you are. I really love that you come on and you are very candid, and you take tough questions. And i have to say im happy to. It seems like the calls for unity always go one way. Thats what people are saying. Shouldnt it be on you and other Reasonable Republicans like you to show that a president cannot incite a mob that wants to kill his own Vice President and get off scotfree, congresswoman . We all want to have him be held accountable, but not just the president. You read the trance skrimscript watch the videos. I understand my colleague was tweeting videos of the congress. I am a member of congress. I had to send my kids home early, and thank god they werent there to see what happened, but i worry about my kids future, i worry about the country, and i want to do whats right, but it is incumbent on us and also democrats when they see a republican saying, hey, lets work together, lets try and do something, that they do reach out. I have heard from democrats this week, ive heard from republicans who feel the same way. I am hopeful, but its going to take a hell of a lot of work to get there. I am grateful that you continue to come on. We dont have to agree, right . Thats the whole point of it. Thank you. You be safe. The american experiment, don. Were going to agree to disagree as long as were not attacking each other. I agree 165 . Thank you. Ill see you soon. Thank you.

The fbi issuing a warning, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capileading up. Officials are also tracking reports of threats to joe biden, the vicepresident elect, kamala harris, and House Speaker nancy pelosi. Lets discuss. Former fbi Deputy DirectorAndrew Mccabe is here. Thank you for joining tonight. The fbi warning of armed protests, all 50 state capitols, and washington, d. C. In your long career in counterterrorism, you say you have never seen an fbi bulletin this broad and serious. How worried should we be . We should be very worried. As you said, don, never have i seen a bulletin that put people on notice of the potential of armed protests at 50 different locations at once. That is extraordinary, and i can assure that based on my deep experience working with these people, they are not prone to exaggeration and hi exaggeration. That should concern every one of us deeply. The reporting from the Washington Post is that a secret Service Officer was put under investigation after posting comments on facebook accusing lawmakers who formalized bidens win of treason. She also expressed support for the rioters who stormed the capitol. Can someone like this work in the secret Service Moving forward . Well, you know, im sure the secret service will be taking a hard look at that. I cant imagine how you could maintain those sorts of beliefs, especially about the incoming president and also maintain your position in the secret service. But obviously thats a Personnel Matter ill let them resolve. Look, don, its not a surprise that, you know, theres a lot f of in the Law Enforcement community, in the military community, there are a lot of people who are of more conservative political beliefs. And thats fine. Thats, you know, part of being an american and having opinions. But when you drift into that level of extremism where youre embracing the lies that the president and his supporters on the hill have been putting out about the election, absolute falsehoods, and you come under the sway of that persuasion, that is a really dangerous prospect. And its one that i think were going to have to live with and figure out how to deal with for a long time. Cnn has obtained video showing rioters brutally attacking a Police Officer, stomping on him, hitting him with a flag pole. The d. C. Attorney general says hes looking at charging President Trump for inciting this violence at the capitol. Is that realistic and what kind of charges could he face . Well, i certainly hope its realistic. You know, its about time that President Trump is held responsible for his illegal activity. I mean, lets remember, this is now the third time in this administration that we are considering that the president may have violated criminal laws. That in and of itself is extraordinary. But on these facts are particularly egregious. You could easily make a case for incitement. Federal law prohibits someone from inciting or from persuading another person to commit a violent felony or a sedition conspiracy is certainly qualifies as a violent felony w. President trump with his statements leading up to the rally, summoning the group on january 6th, standing before them, telling me them were going to march to the capitol, telling them he was going to join them, all for the purpose of delaying the certification of the Electoral College votes. I think you have a compelling set of facts here. Its a long shot anytime you think about charging a president or a former president , but i think its something that prosecutors should look at very closely. All of it on a lie. Its unbelievable. Are you surprised, andrew, that there still hasnt been a press conference on the insurrection from the u. S. Capitol police, the fbi, the justice department, Homeland Security department . The president . I am. You know, don, i learned from the unfortunate experience of having managed many crisis situations, responses to terrorist attacks or Mass Shootings and things, you learn over time that one of the first things you have to do is get out in front of the messaging. You have to reassure the public that youre on top of it, that youre moving the investigation forward.
