That the winds will pick up. How will that hamper efforts . Reporter yeah, that is probably the last thing you need in terms of trying to keep the fire down. We have been talking for the last day or so about this potential change in the weather pattern. That may be happening now because its sunnier here than its been in the couple of days since we been here which would suggest some of the smoke is getting blown out and that means that winds aloft are picking up. Thats not good for keeping the fire down. What the crews have been doing, some 3,000 people in this north complex fire is going from structure to structure. They are trying to strengthen their contain m liment lines if fire picks up again. They are just going through the pain staking process of trying to contain this fire. Right behind us, we have a structure thats not been prepped. Fire is backing down the hill now. Its exactly wa we want. Were going to go ahead and both crews are cutting lines around the structure. Fire still
Attention on board the aircraft. The president elect has departed with a 20minute drive time. We were having the opportunity to have our first African American president come on board the aircraft. As an African American man, to have the opportunity to be one of the first to greet him aboard the airplane meant a lot to me. Youre the pilot . Yes, sir. It will be my privilege to serve you. You know, i have to say you are out of central casting. You are exactly what i wanted. He is very excited to be on the airplane and he is having a very jovial conversation with the aircraft commander. You look like you know how to fly. You look like sam shepherd in the right stuff. Thank you, sir. Theyre standing there having a laughing moment. So for me, im trying to say, okay, do i just fall right into the humor or do i just keep it as professional as i can. Welcome you aboard. Thank you. And introduce you to reggie dixon, the senior flight attendant. Good to see you, sir. My pleasure to meet you. Th
2020 has been a year of historic terror. The air we breathe turned against us and at a time like this, the holidays, the company we crave could literally kill us or those we love and for Millions Company is the only comfort they can afford as covid relief is held up in the name of cruelty. It sounds like a plot line until it isnt. More than 16 million americans have contracted this disease. 300,000 americans have died this year due to covid19. And that is where these two milestones are linked. It is far too early to assume public salvation awaits, but i know that the nation despite its failures current and recent have learned some hard lessons and were now seeing some courses corrected. But the potential of the vaccine should not undermine the proof that masks and distancing are still our best weapons available at least for now and, yes, in a month.

C. Nearly 250 lawmakers from both parties are now calling on President Trump to resign. Tomorrow the house plans to introduce at least one article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection.

Meanwhile, the president has not reached out to Vice President pence at all since the riot on the capitol. As you will see, mr. Pence was a prominent target of protesters for his ceremonial role of aif i recalling the electoral vote counts. How did we get here . Lets start with the events that led to
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
