Enforcement officer, failure to obey and fleeing a Law Enforcement officer after pretending to be a part of, quote, president ial cabinet. The nation is not far removed from january 6th insurrection. In fact new video from the new yorker is giving us a new view of the chaos that unfolded. We might as well set up a government. Hey, lets take a seat, people lets take a seat eat we allowed this to happen lock us down and then they go after us. Disturbing every time. You can see why security is tight across america tonight. A high alert through wednesday due to threats to state capitols. Least 14 states have activated National Guard troops including michigan where a hand willful of armed protesters gathered at the state capitol. There has been an enormous security presence here in lansing. You can see behind me, the Lansing Police department and the Michigan Police have been here as well. That combined with a pretty bad weather day seems to have contributed to a pretty quiet afternoon here west did see some armed groups demonstrating in front of the capitol but they dispersed without any real conflict. Did i run into the congresswoman who told me she is relieved to have seen a peaceful day here today. Believes that the Lessons Learned on january 6th, which of course she was there to witness first hand at the capitol. She believes lessons have been learned and implemented here. The Lansing Police chief echo that had sentiment but said he does remain vigilant. In a matter of moments, you will hear from the three women who run michigan on their plans to protect lancing and how to weed out american extreme. Is. Lets begin with security ahead of inauguration day. Now from d. C. , good to see you. Can you give us an overview, a sex of what is happening right now in the capitol . Reporter there is still tension here. Were about 65 hours away from joe biden taking the oath of office. Outside on the west front of the capitol. 15,000 National Guardsmen here working hand in hand with federal Law Enforcement. There is tension because there was not an uprising this sunday. There wasnt even a small demonstration. It takes one individual and we should note a couple hours ago, about a block from where were standing, a new mexico man was newly arrested. This was an individual who was here on january 6th. Part of that insurrection. He was arrested by the fbi for entering and taking part in the violent attack on the u. S. Capitol. But he returned here. New mexico man returned here. He had vowed to have blood, as he said. Blood come out of building come inauguration day. That man is now in custody here but thats why there is heightened attention here. This is fourth arrest that we are aware of over the weekend. There is another man who was arrested for possession of a weapon without a license. 500 rounds of ammunition. Another woman who went through one of the secure check points here just yesterday with her vehicle past Law Enforcement. She claimed to be part of president ial administration, which of course, she was not. She has been taken to a hospital for evaluation as well as been charged. Thats why here. Over the next 65 hours, there will be this scrutiny of every individual who makes their way down these streets here. We are in front of a closed off road here and it is restricted to only authorized vehicles. Thats where you see a focus on every car that comes through here. All right, from washington, d. C. , thank you. Today was supposed to be a rehearsal day for president elect bidens inauguration but that was canceled due to security concerns. Thousands of National Guard troops roamed the streets, protecting the capitol and it is not just in d. C. Security has been ratcheted up coast to coast after the fbi warned of armed protests in all 50 states earlier this week. For more on the security situation across the country, ill joined by frank figliuzzi, and an Msnbc National Security analyst. He is also the author of the brand new book, the fbi way. The fbi has arrested 74 people charged with rioting at the capitol as of this afternoon. How are they finding these people . And how many more arrests do you expect them to make . So first, lets take that second question. Theyre going to arrest every Single Person that they can possibly identify as breaching security and getting inside that Capitol Building. Number one. That may go on for quite some time until theyve rounded those people up. Theyre in a race against the clock to do it. Theyre using every tool they have to do so. So cell phone tracking, camera imagery, lots of times coming in from the public and i cant emphasize enough that the publics help is needed. Trust your gut. If you think youve heard something, know something, something is amiss with a Family Member or a neighbor, believe they may move toward violence, thats the all hands on deck going on now. I want to you listen to this sound that weve obtained from the rioters on the floor of the u. S. Senate. Understand this. War. We cant lose the title. Were better than that. Okay . Information. Information. Theres got to be something. [ yelling ] there are so many disturbing elements of that video. I heard someone say as i watched it this time, information operation. Theyre just ruffling through payment thats were left on the desks. What is your concern as you watch that video from a National Security perspective . Yeah, first and foremost, what i hear and see there show all the signs of a kind of radicalization. Those people saying those things, getting inside, people Beating Police officers, destroying windows, doors, trying on kill people. Thats radicalization to violence. And so weve got that same probable not only today but it is not going away. It is going to move forward. So well face a kind of permanent insurgency for quite some time. It will be incredibly hard to deal with. When you see more trump flags flying inside that capitol than American Flags, when you hear people saying that they are for trump. That trump made them do this. That ted cruz would think this was okay. Their allegiance is to a person, personality, not to the constitution or america. And thats a form. Cultlike radicalization that we have to deal with for the foreseeable future. Frank, if their loyalty is to individuals, if those individuals are held accountable, does that change the calculus . We need to send a message, right . I hear some people saying, we need to heal the country. We shouldnt think about holding these people accountable. If you want to heal this country in a form that deradicalizes people, you need to expose them to the truth and show them there are consequences to betraying the country. That will take us to the point where we can heal. And just because a president leaves office or a senator is incriminalated, theyre getting knocked off their social media and theyre going to Dark Recesses of the web, making it harder for Law Enforcement to find the next act. Domestic terrorism. So this is with us for a while. I cannot tell you how much i appreciate your clarity and your expertise. Thank you taking the time to talk with us. Next before capitol, it was the state house in michigan. Why didnt it help prevent this months insurrection . And how are the people who are leaving washington preparing for whats coming up next . My interviews right after this break. First on Richard Louie who is standing by with a look at the other big stories were following. Good day to you.

State houses across america remain on high alert due to threats of violence and potential protests including the capital in lansing, michigan, creating a bit of deja vu for the women of that state. Protesters stormed the state house after trump promise. The sitting president has not hid his feelings about the women who run michigan. Michigan, all she does, she has no idea whats going on. All she does is say, oh, its the federal governments fault. What youre doing in michigan has been amazing. You have to get your governor to open up your state, okay . Lock them all up. Despite that onslaught, gretchen whitmer, and attorney general dana used their experience to warn that the siege in lansing was just the beginning. January 6 proved they were right. We sat down with them earlier today to ask how they prepare michigan once again for the possibility of under rest. Thank you all so much for being here. Governor whitmer, heres what we heard from the Lansing Police chief about how officers are preparing for unrest. I am very concerned about the safety of our officers. What we saw, you know, on television, the u. S. Capitol, was just horrific. So for us, and me as a police administrator, ive had to have some tough conversations with our officers. And with that, were still in the midst of a pandemic. So we have to take that issue into account, that variable. So well be doing the best we can to make sure our officers are mentally ready as well as physically ready as well. Governor, how confident are you in the security measure thats have been put in place in the capitol this weekend . Well, there are always a lot of unknowns. I think we are prepared. We have joint air forces from our Michigan State police, michigan National Guard, to the local police department, as you just heard from the chief and the county Sheriffs Department as well. We take this very seriously. Sadly in michigan, weve been living with a lot of this a lot longer than the rest of the nation has in terms of seeing it play out in our capital ten days ago, and thats why we are taking this very seriously. A success looks like everyone going home safely but we are prepared if there is any if action toward violence, toward destruction, and were working collaboratively with our attorney general across Law Enforcement. Attorney general nessel, the michigan capital voted to ban the carry on guns. You say it doesnt go far enough and the capitol is not safe. What measures would make you feel that the capitol is safe for and you lawmakers . All we would need to do is implement the very same procedures we have had in place for decades in every single courthouse in the state of michigan which is simply to have metal detectors, and to have either Police Officers or security guards who are, you know, ensuring people are not bringing in either firearms or explosive devices of any kind. And we do that when we go see the Detroit Lions play. I dont know why we cant have the same security measures in place for our lawmakers and those who wish to visit our state capitol. Secretary benson, arent protesters who held rallies outside your home, what protections have been put in place to protect lawmakers not only at the Capitol Building but outside . Weve been working in partnership with Law Enforcement, the state, local and federal level to ensure that protections are in place and weve got a lot of information and data to ensure those protections are protective. So i feel very safe. I know my colleagues do as well. It is about being vigilant and keeping the focus on it, and the hateful words and rhetoric weve heard for months now in our social media networking and everywhere else has indeed transformed to the possibility of hateful actions and we have to be prepared for that. Governor whitmer, heres what the leader of the southeast militia told us about the storming of michigans capitol. Take a listen. Earlier last year, when the militias of michigan and the protesters let themselves into the michigan capitol, we were loud, we were obnoxious, we got everybodys attention. There was no violence. There was no destruction of property. There was no injuries. We went in. We left. Weighed good time doing it. The world has changed since then. Hopefully we can get back to it but for right now, we just have to come one different avenues. Governor, your reaction to that characterization . Well, you know, i think that success is having the ability to voice your support for or your critique of your state government. There is no question. It is also defined as everyone going home safely and thats what we are hoping for today. Now, that last event that he just described also had people with long guns and automatic rifles standing up legislators and intimidating they will. Thats much the same tactic that we saw play out in the nations capitol. Many people that were a part of that last event that he described were actually indicted in the plot to kidnap and murder me. And so it is not just a demonstration. What weve seen is scary, very concerning elevation of actions taken to intimidate or to hurt people who are simply trying to do their jobs and keep people safe. Whether it is directed at me or dr. Fauci or secretary benson or the secretary of state, and georgia is wrong. And im grateful that people are coming to this conclusion after it being directed at the United States congress, but this has been going on for ten months and weve been asking people to take this seriously. Well, to that point, why do you think the storming of your capitol wasnt taken as a warning of what was to come with the capitol hill attack . Because this whole year has been so incredibly partisan and destructive. The partisanship around the act of wearing a mask has cost people lives. When the president tweets something like, liberate michigan or an attack on our attorney general, or our secretary of state or on me, it incites people, it legitimizes actions to hurt us. And that is not acceptable and it should never have been deemed acceptable long ago. I called Vice President pence who now is the victim of it. I called the Republican Leaders here in michigan and asked them, bring down the heat. Were seeing death threats. And no one did a darn thing. Maybe now that it has been directed at them they will, but this is a moment where i would love to see people of good will on both sides of the aisle in the private sector as well, take this on. Domestic terrorism is not acceptable and none of us should coddle it, incite it, encourage it or legitimize it. Attorney general nessel, the leader of that militia says four groups including his own have told their members to stay away from the michigan capitol due to potential violence from the proud boys. Is there a distinction in the time of threat from those like the militia and extremists like the . Well, there might be. I think we have to take any antigovernment groups very, very seriously. And be prepared for any or all of them to be involved in potentially illegal activities. Ive had some very serious discussions with our partners at the federal level. Were very lucky we have people like alyssa slot kindl and gary peters who we know will play prominent roles on congressional committees involving homeland security. And i talk to them about the need for more resources in the state of michigan in order for us to probably combat this exponential rise in these extreme. I groups and their activities. So we have to be prepared to combat each and every one. These groups head on that they can make any illegal activity, that they can be held properly accountable. Secretary benson, heres what that leader says about the message they want to send to michigans lawmakers. Take a listen. We wanted to remind our elector thats they do answer to the people who put them that those offices. There are still questions circulating about the way our elections were conducted that havent been answered. There is no apparent rush on the part of administration to look into or answer for those questions. Add that to the fact we are on our tenth month, going into the 11th month, of severe covid restrictions, destroying businesses, disrupting families, causing problems across the state and there is no shortage of grievances that we can voice to the governor. Secretary, you announced that theyve already completed over 100 local post election audits. All have confirmed the accuracy of michigans election. Why hasnt transparency been enough to combat trumps lies and misinformation . I was going to say its true that were on the side of making sure every voice is heard and every voice is counted. Every valid vote is counted. Thats what weve done in michigan and precisely the audits, the works. Our over 1600 clerks across the state have shown over the past several months. The true story coming out of this election is indeed that more people voted than ever before in our states history. It was the most secure next our states tlis and the incredible amount of scrutiny that has been placed. The number of questions that have been asked and answered have only served to underscore those facts. So going forward, how to ensure the success, the story and the work that we do to ensure that it is not just a moment but something that continues for elections ahead. When we return, how the women who run michigan feel about Holding President trump accountable. We talk about justice in flint now charged with the water crisis. Do not go anywhere. Crisis do not go anywhere 1 for diabetic dry skin 1 for psoriasis symptom relief and 1 for eczema symptom relief gold bond champion your skin for People Living with hiv, keep being you.

President trump may be the most visible and the loudest voice crying Election Fraud but he is certainly not alone. Officials in michigan, the states largest county, home to detroit, tried to block the certification of president elect joe bidens victory. They claim they just couldnt trust the vote count. Just one example of how our political discourse is fractured well beyond washington, d. C. And holding lawmakers accountable is part of where we picked up the conversation today. Governor when it mer, heres a clip from the capitol hill riot. Take a listen. [ yelling ] the president of the United States governor, those rioters claimed they were invited by the president. Something similar could be said about those who stormed the michigan capitol following trumps calls to liberate michigan. Now trump has been banned from twitter and other social media sites. How do you want to see the president held accountable . Well, invited or incited, we all knew this was something that was real. We saw it play out many months ago in michigan. Weve been calling on them to bring the rhetoric down. Theyve ignored the calls and continued to heat it up. It was heart break to see that play out at the nations capitol. I saw with it my teenage daughters just completely stunned. We need to make sure people are held accountable. And i am grateful for Law Enforcement who are doing their jobs in terms of identifying people who are part of that insurrection and i believe we will see accountability go all the way to the top. And i know congress is moving forward. And i think that is a reminder that no one is above the law in this country. It is what makes our country great. We hold people accountable. We rise to the challenge. When we band together, were a lot stronger and i think thats the message that joe biden will be bringing on wednesday and im hopeful this is a new chapter in america. Secretary benson, President Trump filed numerous lawsuits baselessly alleging voter fraud in michigan, it all fell flat but they took up a lot of resources. How are you planning to seek sanctions against those attorneys who filed the lawsuits . As a former decent of a law school, it is very important, the attorney general and i have talked at length about there to hold people accountable. If you have the ability to be an attorney, that is something that comes with ethical requirements. You cant just bring frivolous lawsuits again and again, special when i the goal of sowing seeds of lawlessness. So i join with those across the country to ensure accountability for those members of the bar who have misused that privilege to erode the publics confidence, fally so in our elections, and file these frivolous lawsuits and complaints. All of which have been, the vast majority have been dismissed. Governor whitmer, you know these arent going away after the election. What time of resources are then needed from the federal government to continue to monitor them . Well, i think they now know how serious this is. And im sorry that it took this long the figure it out. But im hopeful that at this juncture, they will work closely with us to ensure that weve got the resources we need to combat this extremism. Thats remember while we are a deeply divided country and we saw that play out in this election, the vast majority of people are not a part of militias, are not part of domestic terror organizations. And i think it is incumbent on us to do that important outreach and im grateful joe biden and xlals have started that hard work. We have to remember our allegiance to our democracy, we are americans first. We are partisanpartisans, we ha different views and we all wont see eye to eye on everything but we have to come together as a nation and rout out this domestic terrorism. It poses a threat to every one of us. Attorney general nessel, nine federal officials charged last week in question, the flint water crisis. Heres how two Community Activists reacted to the charges. Its a slap in the face. It is another example similar to this civil settlement that shows us that our lives dont matter. Everybody is talking to us. No one is listening. Because if dana nelson was listening to us, it would have been more serious charges. Attorney general, your response to their saying the charges dont go far enough . Well, you know, as prosecutor i will say this. Just generally speaking, your charges, criminal charges cannot be based on community outrage. It has to be based on the law and the evidence and thats really it. So you know, even though i was involved in the civil settlements and not in the criminal charges, because wave conflict law in our office. I expect the office heres handled these cases took into account and the 20 million documents that they looked at, the hundreds of devices, the hundreds and hundreds of witnesses they interviewed, ill sure they explored every potential avenue. That the charges they arrived on were based on facts, law and evidence. In regard to the civil settlement in which the governor and i worked very, very hard to try to implement as quickly as we could, understanding that the people of the city of flint deserves indemnify cation, this is the large. He in the state of michigan and we expect the settlement now at 641 million will only grow as it includes the e. P. A. And the engineering firms. So no, well never be able to make the residents of the city of flint whole. No matter how much money, no matter how lengthy the prison sentences are of anyone who is charged, and if theyre convicted, they wont be made whole. All we can do is hold people accountable and to make the promise that while the three of us are in charge of the executive offices, nothing like this will ever happen again. Governor, one of those activists briefly referred to the proposed 641 million that will be distributed to those impacted by the water crisis. A district judge expected to rule on it by this thursday. How will you ensure the money goes to the residents who need it . So weve been working, one of the things that is i think my least favorite as effect on being governor is that my name is substituted for my predecessors against the former administration. That decisions around flint happened then and yet we have worked in conjunction the attorney general as she said, very closely to get some resolution here. Plaintiffs lawyers, defense counsel, we worked very hard to get the resources appropriated so we can live up to this. As the attorney general just said, we cannot undo the damage that was done. Under our watch, well do everything to make sure that the people of flint have the support they need. And that goes to things like writing budgets support the education of kids, the access to nutrition, they know mayor finalize the last remaining pipe thats need to be replaced. Weve made Great Strides and yet were not done to help the people of flint. Thank you all so much. Next, the balancing act ahead for congress.

Those are two of the house managers for the second impeachment as the senate gears up for trial, it could begin shortly after joe biden is sworn in on wednesday. Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen joins me. What are your priorities when it comes to trumps second impeachment trial . Its good to be with you. My priorities are to send a very strong signal that the conduct we saw from President Trump is unacceptable. They did not incite the mob to the capitol to overturn an election of the United States of america. We home we can do it relatively quick will. It is just one article of impeachment. Very straightforward. We dont know how long the president s defense will pay but we are working with the republican leader Mitch Mcconnell to try to double the process so we can begin confirming some of the president elect nominees right away. So much to do. Lindsey graham speaking out against impeachment. Heres what he had to say this morning on fox news about the capitol riots. Take a listen. Heres the problem. I understand what happened on january 6th was one of the low points in my time in office. It was horrendous to see people come and take over the capitol, the house and the senate, beat officers, defile the seat of government. How in the hell could that happen . Where was nancy pelosi . It is her job to provide capitol security. Well get to the bottom of that. A lot was made of him standing on the senate floor and saying, thats it. Im out. What do you make now of him placing, it would seem, blame on nancy pelosi rather than on donald trump or his republican colleagues for what we watched happen . Yeah. This is just another of Lindsey Grahams sort of limbo acts. Look, he was one of the people who fueled Donald Trumps lies right after the election. He tried to get Pennsylvania State legislatures to join in this conspiracy to overturn the election. Then after the storming of the capitol, he had a brief moment of clarity and voted against the effort to overturn the election. Now hes right back again doing trumps bidding. Rather than calling for accountability and making it absolutely clear this conduct was unacceptable. There are not a lot of people i have spent on with who believe that there will be enough republican votes to convict. What would it take in your own mind to bring those republicans to the table . Well, if you talk privately to republican senators, they agree that what happened certainly merits a conviction in the United States senate. But getting themselves there politically is the same problem weve experienced all along which is they still dont want to cross Donald Trumps case which remains strong in the republican party. I would think they would want to do it now on conviction. But as you say, we are certainly not there yet. Theyll have to listen to overwhelming evidence and people who were part of a mob, who say they were there because donald trump sent them. So it will be very hard to disregard the evidence in this case. There have been calls, increased calls for senators ted cruz and josh holley to resign. Others calling for censure. What do you think is the appropriate recourse . I think they violated their oaths to the constitution. It is very clear that they were participating efforts to overturn our democratic election. I think they should resign. I dont expect them to. And therefore, we will explore different options within the United States senate. For what the sanctions should be for someone who very overtly violates their constitutional obligations. I dont know if you had a chance to watch this video that has surfaced from the new yorker of people actually on the floor, rummaging through desks, looking through papers. I think a lot of us watch it and we are disgusted because we see this as the peoples house. We believe this constitution is a part of our democracy, that we have some ownership over it. Those are not literally our desks or papers. This is the place you go to work. What has it been like seeing this footage of these insurrectionists on the senate floor . I have seen some of this. And as you say, it is just gut wrenching to see people bespoiling the peoples house, ransacking it. This is a place where the republicans, democrats, independents come elected by the American People to do business. American people. And here you have a violent mob essentially taking it over. It is as we saw with the seasonable when a lot of these Trump Supporters put down the American Flag at the capitol and put in its place the trump flag. Thats not who we are as a country. I dont care what party you belong to. That scene that were seeing, that youre showing here, is a desecration of our democracy. They were sent by donald trump. Thats what they have said and testified to. As part of their efforts to seek a pardon. And this is all the more reason senator graham is others need to reexamine the constitution and hold donald trump accountable. Senator Chris Van Hollen, thank you for your time.

Shes seeking to use her Regulatory Authority to dissolve the nra. Her office has been conducting an investigation into the organizations corruption since 2019.

The mob stormed the capitol. Young congressional staffers, including aides to House Speaker nancy pelosi, locked and barricaded their office doors, turned out the lights, stayed low to the ground, silenced their phones and sat quietly in the dark. A skill they learned as children in the halls of learning. Now useful to them in the halls of power. Well leave you with the reaction online to news of the nras bankruptcy.
