Michael beschloss, i wonder if you have thought through how republicans can begin with somebody on my team called earlier today debaathification of the Republican Party . And i wonder if liz cheney, her statement being the thing that republicans used the democrats used, sorry, to explain why they needed to impeach donald trump, is there a little wing of the Republican Party that you think can do this sort of debaathification of the party and can it work at this point . Look, i think the challenges is that the rot is from the grassroots all the way to the presidency, to the rot is at every layer. You can call it rot because its now criminal sedition. But there are people who supported it from the grassroots all the way up through to the white house. I think what liz cheney may be is part of a party that may not always be called republicans, or maybe that other part thats top to the bottom corrupted by trumpism isnt always called republicans, they cant coexist. What is clear to me today, whatever party Mitch Mcconnell is in, it isnt the same party don jr. s going to run under. So i think you see the beginning of the end of one banner flying over Mitch Mcconnell and donald trump. That banner will not be the name of the party that describes both of them years from today. Yeah, thats great, because you get to send me into a warmhole about the wigs. I do love to talk about the wigs. Every time im making dinner, and then the wigs. Yeah, we have to pick this up tomorrow were talking wigs. Were doing that. Thats happening. All right, nicolle, have a great evening, my friend. You too. Absolutely. Have a wonderful night. Nicolle is the best. Today as you just heard is one of those days when you literally just have to step back and really just take in the fact that we are living right now, what kids are going to learn about in their High School History classes years and decades from now, donald j. Trump, who dragged this country through four long years of horror, from caged children, nazi coddling, open White Nationalism and open corruption, who profited off the presidency that he gained with foreign help and then humiliated himself and us before the exkgb agent who helped put him in the white house, and who fired the fbi director who caught him, who sat back and did absolutely nothing while more than 370,000 americans died in a global pandemic, that guy has been impeached for the second time in a year. No other president has been impeached twice. And none who has ever been impeached has ever been actually removed. And yet tonight, really for the first time in our history, we stand on the brink of donald trump becoming the first president who can actually be convicted by the senate. An outcome that is by no means clear as we go into this show tonight. And trumps fate was sealed by his role in yet another unprecedented event, the siege of the u. S. Capitol in an attempted coup, sparked by trumps defeat for reelection. An attempted coup incited by trump himself. Trumps second impeachment for one count of inciting insurrection was not just swift, coming one week after the attempted maga coup, it was the most bipartisan impeachment of a president in u. S. History, with ten republicans joining the democrats outrage. And many of the democrats were reciting the words of the third ranking House Republican, as we just talked about, liz cheney, who wrote the president of the United States summoned this mob and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. There had never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the constitution. And with that, at 4 36 p. M. , 232 house members voted to send just that one article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection. Less than an hour ago, Speaker Pelosi signed the single art and sent it to the senate for consideration. The soon to be minority leader Mitch Mcconnell signaled he was open to convicting donald trump while pushing back on a trial starting this week. Now throughout the day, with emotions still raw and bullet holes still visible in the capitol, democrats and republicans took to the floor to make their case for impeachment. We here in this house have a sacred obligation to stand for truth. To stand up for the constitution, to stand as guardians of the republic. Last week there was a domestic threat at the door of the capitol, and he did nothing to stop it. That is why with a heavy heart and clear resolve i will vote yes on these articles of impeachment. We have a mandate to legislate in defense of black lives. The first step in that process is to root out White Supremacy starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. Im not afraid of losing my job but im afraid my country will fail. My vote to impeach our sitting president is not a fearbased decision. Im not choosing a side, im choosing truth. Its the only way to defeat fear. The remaining members of the Republican Caucus came to the floor ignoring the magnitude of what happened last week and made disingenuous calls for healing. It was with a morbid curiousty i watched the beast attempt to devour President Donald Trump again. The democrats are going to impeach donald trump again. This doesnt unite the country. I call bull crap. The democrats are only unified in hate. President trumps act towards this nation is a horror reality in this unconstitutional act. All of us must resist the temptation of further polarization. We must unite as americans. These calls for comedy came from those who played roles in last weeks coup as well. This is committed by unprecedented security, members heading to the house floor under the watchful eye of 20,000 National Guard members. Troops are photographed sleeping at the capitol, a sight not seen since the washington riot in 1968. Its a massive show of force one week before president elect joe biden is sworn in as our 46th president. Joining me now is congressman Hakeem Jeffries of new york, chairman of the House Democratic caucus. And thank you so much for being here, representative jeffries. Your counterpart on the other side of the aisle, liz cheney, house Republican Caucus leader, number three on the House Republican side, her words kind of became the rallying cry even for democrats, who conducted this impeachment. Do you think that that signaled that there might be a chance that when this case goes to trial in the senate, even though trump will already be gone, that perhaps he might be convicted . It is certainly my hope that theres a real opportunity done victim this president for the incitement of a violent insurrection that he is responsible for, as liz cheney eloquently and courageously laid out. The fact this is now the most bipartisan impeachment in American History and that donald trump has now been impeached twice, i think lays a foundation to a real opportunity to finish the job in the United States senate in a bipartisan way with rules that are put in place by the new democratic majority that allows for a full and fair presentation of evidence and documents and witnesses which did not take place the last time. And obviously, in a sense, mine, you guys are witnesses, the actual members of the house and the United States senate, you all are witnesses. You experienced the assault. The assault was on you all. So its interesting to me the witnesses can wind up including members of congress. I wanted to show you not only was this a bipartisan impeachment, it is all around the country, the republicans who voted in favor of impeachment hail from as Distant Shores as wyoming, illinois, new york, michigan, washington state, south carolina, ohio and california. So these are republicans from red states, from purple states, from blue states. I am not naive enough to hope that means theres some real change here. What do you make of their existence but at the same time youve got people who were named by the organizer of the socalled stop the steal rally, people like representatives gosar, andy biggs and mo brooks, and youve got people like Lauren Bobert and marcus who are qanon on the other side. Its unfortunate most of the members of the House Republican conference remain part of Team Sedition as opposed to being part of team democracy. The overwhelming majority of the republicans, of course, participated in the big lie that donald trump actually was the winner of this president ial election and that the presidency was stolen from him. That was the foundation of the insurrection and the sedition and violent attack on the u. S. Capitol that took place january 6th. And many of those members refused to acknowledge joe biden was the actual winner. So trump may be gone, but trumpism will still be with us. Quickly, i know were out of time, but do you think the members who are implicated in helping to plan the january 6th event that then became a riot, do you think they should be expelled . I think we need a fullon complete investigation and every Single Member should be held accountable and 14th amendment, section 3 is pretty clear, you provide aid and comfort to an insurrection, you are no longer eligible to serve as a member of congress. Were going to proceed to uncover all of the facts, apply the law and be guided by the constitution. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, member of the Democratic House leadership, thank you very much. And during the debate today, congressman Joaquin Castro of texas, one of the nienhouse impeachment managers, asked his republican counterparts a sewnering question about last weeks riot. Let me ask you a question, what do you think they would have done if they had gotten in . What do you think they would have done to you, and who do you think sent them here . The most dangerous man to ever occupy the oval office, if inciting a deadly insurrection is not enough to get a president impeached, then what is . Congressman Joaquin Castro joins me now. Thank you very much for being here. That was such a passionate speech today. I want to ask you based on what you said, what do you think they would have done if they had gotten through and the fact your lives were threatened and were now hearing members of the Republican Caucus and the house were leading tours of the capitol, which could have given intel to these insurrectionists, that the organizer, who is in hiding, Ali Alexander, claimed in a video, hes the one who organized this, quote, stop the steal event, said he got assistance beforehand from representatives paul gosar, andy biggs and mo brooks. And then when you look at the two of the qanon congresswomen, lauren bobe art was tweeting the speaker left the store after being asked not to discuss the location of the speaker. Do you believe members of the Republican Caucus might have been involved in the insurrection themselves . Well, i think thats a great question. And we absolutely have to get to the bottom of it. The reporting seems to suggest thats quite possible. I will say this, if they were found to have assisted these folks, who then committed an insurrection and stormed the capitol, then they should not only be expelled from congress, but they should also Face Criminal Charges for doing so. And i look forward to that investigation being conducted. Do you feel safe around people like congresswoman lauren bobe ert and congresswoman lauren green and i think up to 10, 11 members of the qanon cult, who are members of congress, some of whom brag about it. Madison hawthorne is another one that brags about carrying guns inside the house chamber. Do you feel safe with them around you . Joy, i served ten years in the state legislature in texas, and i am now in my fifth term in the u. S. House of representatives. And this is the first time for me where you certainly have a new class of people who are so far out there, lauren boebart, the new representative from new york i want to say colorado. Colorado, i apologize, i believe that she tweeted or somehow communicated 1776 as though this was a revolution of some kind. And so these folks who are who believe in a Conspiracy Theory of qanon are just basically not tethered to reality, living in an alternative reality. Yes, that is dangerous. And, lastly, tom rice, who is a republican who voted for one of the one of the ten republicans who voted in favor of impeachment, cited the president s inaction during the siege as being the reason he is going to support, and he supported, in fact, impeaching him. Do you think that that might be laying a groundwork for conviction . When you go to make your case, it sounds like one argument that worked at least with this republican who campaigned for trump, voted for trump, said so in that sweet, and said he has commander in chief did not take action to stop what was happening during the siege is a reason to convict him. Do you think that is an argument that can work . And what are the arguments youre going to make . I think thats an a important thing for americans to realize. It was not only a matter of President Trumps words, he told a big lie that the election was being stolen if him, that he won in a land slide. He then asked his people and supporters to march down to the capitol, but after they stormed the capitol, after there were injuries, after they were threatening members of congress, after i think they had taken over the senate chamber, he still was not willing to provide any help to stop what was going on at the u. S. Capitol. So it was a matter of words that incited other peoples actions, but he also in his own actions took part in this by refusing to help. So that is absolutely going to be front and center when we go to the senate. We will all be watching this trial. It is truly historic. Were in some unprecedented times. Congressman Joaquin Castro from texas, thank you very much for taking some time this evening. Up next on the reidout, impeachment is in Mitch Mcconnells court. Will he try to drive a stake through the heart of trumpism or protect his old partner in crime . And new signs that members of the trump mob might have gotten inside help as they plotted their dead lynn surrecollection. Deadly insurrection. S. I was covered from head to toe with it.

Today by becoming the First American president to be impeached not once but twice. That doesnt mean hes removed from office or even barred from running again. That will be up to the senate to decide whether to convict trump or acquit him for the second time in one year. Joining me now is former senator Claire Mccaskill of missouri. I hope everyone whos been texting you, youve been memorizing all of what theyve been telling you. You talk with these senators. But i have to talk with the senator temporarily at the top, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. He said theres no chance a trial could begin this week. Even if the senate process were to begin this week and move promptly, no final verdict would be reached until after President Trump had left office. This is notization i am making. Its a fact. Im now staring at you and amy coney barrett, because that was an eightday operation. Is this believable or bs . Well, it probably is believable because its a trial. Its not just simply a hearing and a vote, and thats essentially what a confirmation is. Now, did they rush Amy Comey Barrett . Of course they did. Could this go more quickly than maybe mitch has in mind . What youre going to see now is a big kabuki dance and negotiation over timing, joy. Youre going to see Chuck Schumer and this is very weird because theres a handoff here thats going to occur in the next couple of weeks and all of a sudden Chuck Schumer gets to decide whether they stay and work on the weekend. Chuck schumer gets to decide whether or not they adjourn at 10 00 at night. So youre going to see a negotiation. And also in these negotiations is going to be joe biden. Because he doesnt want a trial to take up the whole day. He wants his confirmations to go forward. So there will be some give and take here. And i think nancy pelosi is going to hold off doing what shes doing until she gets some kind of signal about whether or not they can reach an agreement on how to go forward. So heres the question i have, this is a kind of almost a process question in a way. We know they can do more than one thing at the same time clearly. So in theory, they can be having the trial, right and confirming confirming joe bidens cabinet nominees, but is this case of Mitch Mcconnell saying, so which do you want, you want the fbi and cia directors in place or do you want this trial . Do you want hr1 with all of the voting in it or trial of donald trump . Could he use even as minority leader that kind of a dance to try to push back the trial . It depends on whether or not a unanimous consent is required for any of the things that schumer wants to do. You know, unanimous concept is something thats important to the senate. Its how a lot of things move. That means josh hawley can stop the whole thing, and we obviously know hes inclined to do whatever needs to do to get attention on this. So youve got to really figure out how you can get around those and get an agreement. Heres the thing, theres precedent. I did an impeachment trial of a judge that was done by committee, and then the entire senate heard the evidence and deliberated and voted like in a day. That would be unheard of for a president , although its been done for judges. So i think theres going to be a lot of back and forth on this. I do think the trial will go forward. I do think that Chuck Schumer wants it to go forward as quickly as possible but he also wants to be cognizant that weve got a new president that we need to get a National Security team in place. And my team is going to kill me but i have one more quick question for you. You know Mitch Mcconnell. He exhibited the sort of im not sure whether he wants trump to be convicted. Is my theory of Mitch Mcconnell correct its in his interest to convict and these people around the fence, toomeys, sass yi, rami is do you ever want to face donald trump on a ticket or do you want to be president . Isnt there a incentive for even the most cynical people like ted cruz to say lets get him out of here so we dont have to deal with him anymore . Theres incentive because most of the people in the senate cannot stand donald trump. And then the way they keep him off the ballot is by first convicting him because thats the only time they can go from a vote that would prohibit him from ever Holding Office again. And mitch already got his nest up in the judges so he doesnt need him anymore either. Senator Claire Mccaskill, thank you very much for being here. And with me now, senator of hawaii, and when you look at the senators of the world, i dont think we need to convict, after all hes gone through, donald trump learned his lesson, oops, twhaept through. That wasnt true. Do you get the feel there are 17 potential people like that on the other side . Nope. No, i dont see that happening. But hope springs eternal all the time. This is unprecedented, of course, historic that a president gets impeached twice and this time for inciting and insurrection, which all of us experienced right in front of our eyes. There you go. Right. Hes telling us to believe our lying eyes speech. The thing about this particular trial will be that in theory, senators and members of congress could be the witnesses because you all are the witnesses, this happened to you. Yes. I wonder if because the insurrection happened to the senators, put aside the real missed up ones like your josh hawleys and ted cruzes, if youre, lets say, Pat Toomey Pat Toomey is out, if you look at ben sasse, who somehow wants to redeem himself in history, the fact he was victimized by this, do you think that changes the way that they vote . One would hope so because it is hard to turn away from what we all experienced. This is not some sort of intellectual investigatory situation. All of this happened right before our ears and before our eyes. So no amount of gaslighting by the president or the people who continue to support him can turn us away from the horrific sight that we saw and that of the people who died in this riot. Senator, my final question would be now that we had questions raised about potential offduty police flying in to potentially be a part of this riot and questions about the Capitol Police leaving their people basically naked at the face of this insurrection outmanned and outgunned, does this then create more space to talk about Capitol Police, because you all could reform them if you needed to, does this mean we will now have a more serious question and take more seriously the idea we need Police Reform more broadly . I certainly hope so because we know racism is rampant in our country as far as im concerned, never far below the surface. Yes, it exists within Police Departments and this is one of the reasons why we really need to talk about not just talk about but Institute Justice in policing act. And we need to get into consent decrees with Police Departments that are deemed to be unequal in their policing methods. So, yes, i hope that one of the outcomes of what we saw happening. I have one last question and i want to give you an opportunity to respond to Donald Trumps belated, sudden i guess hes coming out for peace now, made a video where he said, hey, lets all be peaceful. Do you have any response to his little individual zbloe. Well, four years of lying, chaos, mindless cruelty, lets not get wiped away because of one staged video. No. And for him to say none of my people would ever engage in violence, excuse me, what were all of those people doing with their maga hats and trump banners . So once again we are treated to an unbelievably insincere lie as far as im concerned, performance, by trump. Nobody should be taken by this. Senator hirone, thank you very much. I appreciate you being here tonight. Aloha. Aloha. Up next whether maga got assistance from members of congress. Thats a big one. Ne e. Or ten. Then easily and automatically pay your team and file payroll taxes. That means. World domination or just the west side. Run payroll in less than five minutes with intuit quickbooks. Woman i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Now, theres skyrizi. Things are getting clearer yeah i feel free to bare my skin, yeah, thats all me nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin, thats my new plan nothing is everything woman keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. With skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or coughs or if you plan to, or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything woman now is the time to ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. This is the sound of an asthma attack. That doesnt happen. Nothing is everything this is the sound of better breathing. Fasenra is a different kind of asthma medication. Its not a steroid or inhaler. Fasenra is an addon treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. Its one maintenance dose every 8 weeks. It helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and lower use of oral steroids. Nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. Fasenra is designed to target and remove them. Fasenra is not a rescue medication or for other eosinophilic conditions. Fasenra may cause allergic reactions. Get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. Dont stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. Headache and sore throat may occur. This is the sound of fasenra. Ask your doctor about fasenra. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. You try to stay ahead of the mess but scrubbing still takes time. Now theres powerwash dish spray its the faster way to clean as you go just spray, wipe and rinse it cleans grease five times faster dawn powerwash. Spray, wipe, rinse. I do believe there was some inside assistance. We know that there are officers who are being investigated and others. Well see how those investigations turn out. If any members of congress participated, helped to organize, orchestrate the attack on the u. S. Capitol, and quite frankly, the attack on us and the American People last wednesday, they need to be held accountable. That was congresswoman val demings of florida suggesting people signed the capitol, including perhaps members of congress, may have aided and abetted the trump insurrection last week. The idea that any part of that deadly assault was an inside job is a chilling prospect but theres new evidence to support it. In a bombshell allegation last night, congressman Mikie Sherrill of new jersey said she witnessed a number of lawmakers giving reconnaissance tours inside the capitol a day before the attack. In a letter to the sergeant at arms, she and more than 30 other House Democrats are demanding answers, noting that the visitors appeared to be associated with the rally at the white house the following day. Thats not the only news thats raising suspicions today. The chief of staff to congresswoman Ayanna Pressley also told the boston globe that during the siege she looked for the special panic button inside the office but she found that every panic button in my office had been torn out, the whole unit she said, though they could come up for no rational as to why. And then theres a public admission from the protrump organizers of the stop the steal rally, Ali Alexander, whos now in hiding. As the daily beast reported yesterday, alexander claimed in a video he had organization assistance from protrump congressman paul gosar, andy biggs and mo brooks. Biggs and brooks were among a dozen trump loyalist at a december 21 meeting with trump at the white house, where they strategized over a lastditch effort to overturn the election results. And joining me now is congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of washington state, maybe of the judiciary committee. Congresswoman, thank you for being here. Before i ask you about really this bombshell potential development in the attempted coup at the capitol, i have to first ask how youre feeling. Because i know youre recovering from covid. Thank you, joy. I am okay. I cycle in and out of my symptoms, fever, chills, headache. Sort of moved up into my head today. And im sorry to say these republicans have not only given me covid by not wearing their masks but they have also given it to my husband now, who now tested positive. So this is the world we live in. But ill get through this, i know i will. And i appreciate everyones good wishes. That is just one of the many sickening developments. We know congresswoman Ayanna Pressley put out a press release with regard to her husband. And it is monstrous, ill just put it that way, that members of the United States congress and United States senate would sicken other members and not think twice about it. Its disgusting. But lets go on to this other 3,200 americans every day are dyeing of covid. Just the tragedy across the country and these republicans are not showing exactly what we need to do to prevent the spread of this virus. Absolutely. I think those are two ways which in a sense members of the senate and the house might have been attacked by their own members, right . You have now, in addition to the fact we now believe that some republicans were sickening other members and other members of the senate, you have this Ali Alexander character saying he had assistance from house members. We have these tours that are going through the capitol. We have it seems to me it is not coincidental. You have clyburn, representative clyburn, leader clyburn saying hes trying to still figure out how some of these attackers knew where his sort of private office was. Are you worried that the attackers might have gotten help from members of congress . Yes, i think the stories that are coming out are damning. Frankly, i said this the day of the attack, because its inconceivable to me that such an attack could happen so quickly. It was planned. Remember, there were bombs planted at the dnc and rnc that happened to be timed in such a way that people were pulled off some of the police were pulled offer the capitol to go investigate the bombs. Of course, we had none of the things we should have had to prevent the insurrectionists from getting into the capitol. So i believe this was very planned and everybody knew where they were going, what they were doing, and these reports of republican members of congress who were working with the leaders of the insurrection and the riots were were proud of it. They were talking about it, even the day of. So i just think that this is a very difficult time with people that we cannot trust. And the house judiciary committee, i believe you all have supervisory supervisory roles with the Capitol Police. Are there going to be hearings on this and potentially hearings that involve questioning whether members of congress were a part of it . Absolutely. Were going to find every single person, including members of congress, who were part of this and were going to hold them accountable and no member ever congress can be allowed to be in congress if they aided, abetted, fueled or worked with these insurrectionists period. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, wishing you and your husband a speedy recovery. Thank you very much for taking time with us this evening. Be well. I want to turn to nbc news ben collins and clint watts, msnbc National Security analyst who worked with the fbis counterterrorism division. You both heard what the congresswoman had to say. Ill start with you, clint, the possibility that you had members of congress who were walking people who later turned out to be among the insurrectionists ransacking the capitol, walking them on tours in which they could have gotten recon to know where to go, theres a video that is circulating a lot of people are talking about that looks like people really seemed to know where they were going. Are you concerned members of Congress Might have been a part of this . And might the fbi already be talking to them . Yeah, joy, i think the fbi is probably already looking into that. Remember, the fbi has got thousands of leads now. Theyre running down hundreds of people across the country. So this later stage of motive, who was connected as a broader network, who helped plot and plan, that should also come from the arrest of the individuals they already picked up and notes that essentially came out of the interviews. I think its remarkable though when you look at how these individuals descended on the capitol, they had very specific places they wanted to go. Whose office did they sit in . Nancy pelosi. Which videos do you see online, threats against nancy pelosi. So federal elected officials and, current military members or former military members, this will show the basis of the Trump Movement to radicalize and bring to the forefront and this will not just correct itself after the inauguration. Ben, lets get into some of these characters. Before i does you about Ali Alexander in hiding, this is alexandria oscasiocortez talking about what she called her brush with death. Take a listen. I can tell you that i had a very Close Encounter where i thought i was going to die. I want to cut straight to the chase. One, it was an extremely traumatizing event. And it is not an exaggeration to say many, many members of the house were nearly assassinated. Its just not an exaggeration to say that at all. And, you know, that is not exaggeration. Weve now seen we now know representative mcgovern is the guy walking in the hallway on the other side of that video where all of those riots were banging to try to get through and then the one went through went through the glass and was shot. On the other side of that were representative mcgovern and other members of congress. If they had gotten through, god knows what they would have done to them. Likely someone would have died. The chief of staff saying the panic buttons were ripped off. On the other side saying members of congress could have been killed. And heres was Ali Alexander said on november 30th, anyone can guess what me and 500,000 others will do to that building. 1776 is always an option. Who is this guy . How dangerous is he . I want to back up first and just echo what representative alexandria oscasiocortez said. Shes correct. We were very close to a very dark and bad thing here. Theres a separate video that is going around of people signed inside the building talking to people outside the building in a megaphone. In the video a person says, i was just in this other room. If were going to take this building, we have to coordinate. And then they start planning from inside the capitol. That is where we were at, we were that close. And the people in that space were two kinds of people, they were militia members who have for decades now tried to overthrow the United States government. And then there were qanon people who believe in a specific judgment day, a doomsday. This is the very point of qanon, where all of members of congress are rounded up, taken to a place and hung at a gallows or just sue mayorally executed. Thats called the storm, the big event in qanon. Everyone who follows qanon knows about it. And we were inside the capitol, and close to something very, very dark that day. And that means, clint watts, were still in the middle of something dark because the people in congress who are said to have perhaps conspired with this person Ali Alexander, theyre still members, they got to vote today on the impeachment. How do you investigate a crime that perhaps members of congress were complicit in . It will take a number of things. One of the things, the fbi is being very careful. We saw in the conference yesterday the men in charge are very careful about the language with elected officials. They did not take anything off the table per se. I think what will ultimately end up happening is take all of the leads out and take away the ring leaders that were talking about overthrowing the government. Theres plenty of evidence online to show what they intended to do. You can see it even in the weeks before. Mine larger fear is aside from this group that made it to washington, d. C. , there were people that supported this movement that did not make it to washington, d. C. They could not be there last week. But theyre close to their hometowns and close to elected officials. We saw a very violent plolt disrupted by the fbi targeting government whitmer. These people were talking about kidnapping elected officials, murdering them, beheading them. These things online are common discussions. The public when they see this, i hope they do not brush it aside because it could very much be in their hometown in just a couple months. And i hope that police, despite what their unions may say, need to understand that these people are not their friends. So i hope police out there, look sharp, these are not your friends. Theyre not on your side. The boogaloo people already killed police. Theyre not your friend, yall. Ben collins, clint watts, thank you very much. Really appreciate you both.

That support is no longer as resolute as ten House Republicans voted with democrats to impeach their own leader. Theyre saying that what matters is the truth. I vote to impeach our sitting president is not a fearbased decision, i am not choosing a side, im choosing truth. Its the only way to defeat fear. Joining me now is rick wilson, cofounder of the lincoln project. Great to see you as always. Lets talk about the decisions that people are making. Some of these members are scared theyre going to get killed, theyre afraid for their families lives. Are we at this point where republicans fear their voters. I spoke to two members of Congress Today who told me that one of them said, if i vote against it, i will never know when theyll kill my wife or my kids or me. Okay . They are terrified of the mob. Thats what the mob did. The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize. Donald trump is the leader of a terrorist faction of a terrorist group that terrorizes the congress. They accomplished their mission. When it came to the republicans, the ones who really believe in trumpism, its a handful, its 25, 30 of those idiots, the matt gaetz, jim jordan types. A lot of the rest of them are living in stark terror that Donald Trumps mob will come and kill them. Thats not a country that we thought we lived in where the warlord will send his minions at you if you dont agree with everything he says. So it is a dark moment for the Republican Party. Absolutely. Because what you get, you mentioned matt gaetz. Hes in performance along with representative kim buck. Before the rioters tore through that glass, Speaker Pelosi stood at that rostrum and tore through the president s state of the union speech. Then the socialists in hollywood joined their allies in congress. Robert de niro said that he wanted to punch the president in the face. Madonna thought about blowing up the white house, Kathy Griffin held up a likeness of the president s beheaded head. Hollywood is the same thing as donald trump inciting an actual riot and a coup and tearing up Donald Trumps the weird equivalence, you have Marjorie Taylor green saying shes being silenced while shes on the house floor on tv. Whats left in the party is the ridiculous. This whiny bitch victimhood from jim jordan and all of these other people, it is the most pathetic example of special pleading ive ever seen. They act that the world is against them somehow. Twitter and facebook arent banning you because youre a conservative. Theyre banning you because you suck. Theyre banning you because you support a revolution against the government of this country. This is the most remarkable thing about this to me is all of these tough guys swagger monkeys who act like their theyre whining ability Kathy Griffin holding up a mannequin head, toughen up. The thing is, i feel like, rick, that this is one of those examples of when you open the door to the crazy and to the lunatics. They all come in and after a while the i remember when the tea Party Started and were hanging barack obama in effigy and bringing monkey dolls to their rallies and sarah palin had rallies where people were screaming kill him about barack obama. Marco rubio aint a tea partier, but he was like, sure i am. They start to mimic the extreme people. Heres some of people who organized this rally. It includes a tea party patriots. Were going to put the list up. Isnt this an example of the party making itself crazy like ten years ago and paying for it now . Look, this when we look back at the inflection points of the tea party movement, it was a legitimate thing for about a hot minute and then it became a vector for the crazy. It became a vector for the people back then who were talking about agenda 21 and, you know, the world government and the u. N. Invading georgia. All of this craziness. But let me tell you, joy, next cycle, there will be more qanon candidates than there are this cycle. Next cycle it will be more 100 . And by four or five years from now, if they dont purge it this, country is going to think theres a child cannibal sex ring under a pizza restaurant running the world. I cant argue with that.
