Garland pledging to hold all perpetrators at any level accountable under the law but not giving a specific timeline. We understand if there are questions about how long the investigation will take and about what exactly we are doing. Our answer is, and will continue to be the same answer we would give with respect to any ongoing investigation. As long as it takes, and whatever it takes for justice to be done consistent with the facts and the law. I understand that this may not be the answer some are looking for. Reporter on capitol hill, their Investigation Continues on a rapid clip. The January 6th Select Committee wants to hear from fox news host sean hannity who was texting white house officials like mark meadows begging him to encourage trump to call off his Pressure Campaign to prehavvent the certification of the election results. Texting, we cant lose the entire white house counsels office. I do not see january 6th happening in the way hes being told. Chairman Bennie Thompson telling cnn the committee wants to hear from Vice President mike pence and asking him to come in on his own accord. I would hope that he would do the right thing and come forward and voluntarily talk to the committee. You know, everybody there didnt have a Security Detail so wed like to know what his Security Detail told him was going on, and what all went on. Reporter the committee seems to be very focused on the conduct of the former President Donald Trump in the days leading up to and on january 6th. They continue to interview witnesses who had a firsthand account of those proceedings. Among them, stephanie grisham, the former Chief Of Staff to first lady melania trump. Also the former White House Press secretary. In and around the first family on that day. Shes expected to meet with the committee tonight to tell them what she knows about the events surrounding the insurrection. Ryan nobles, thanks. Joining us live to discuss, secretary of the department of Homeland Security, alejandro mayorkas. Secretary, you said this week that dhs is not aware of any Credible Threats on the anniversary of the january 6th attack, but the threat of domestic violent extremists is a great one. To be frank, there seems to be a lot that Law Enforcement and intel folks simply dont know about radical groups as we saw last year. How concerned are you about safety at the capitol tomorrow . Jake, Domestic Violence extremism does remain one of the greatest threats that we face on the homeland. And what we in the department of Homeland Security do is obtain information and share information and make sure that not only we across the federal enterprise but also our state and local partners are fully equipped with the information and best positioned to prevent a threat from materializing. The threat is real but it is our job to be prepared for it and to be responsive if, in fact it should materialize. Its our job to be alert, to be prepared, to be practiced and to be responsive. U. S. Capitol police chief Thomas Manger testified today about a Record Number of threats against u. S. Lawmakers, nearly 10,000 just in 2021. Thats 26 a day. At least one an hour. What do you believe is behind that sharp increase in threats against lawmakers . I think there are a number of things at play, jake. You know, ideologies of hate, false information, False Narratives, primary sources of the Threat Landscape that we confront in the United States today. The divisiveness in our country is really fueling it as well. And theres a very important additional element. Words matter. And this goes to the issue of False Narratives. False information. Words matter and the words of leaders matter a lot. And that can actually fuel the spread of false information and can drive people to violence. Its the connectivity between false information and violence that creates the threat to which we must respond and that we must prevent. Do you think the people who run social Media Companies take seriously enough the roles that their platforms have in false accusations, false information getting out there that ends up resulting in threats if not violence . So i think theres one very important principle to state at the very outset. And that is that false information, ideologies of hate, have to be addressed always mindful of one of our Core Principles and that is the principle of free speech. Of course. Protected by the first amendment. What we do in the department of Homeland Security is ensure that everyone has the information that we have with respect to that false information with respect to the threat that stems from it and then we leave it to the independent decision of the social Media Companies to apply their terms of use and act responsibly with respect to what they are seeing on their platforms. Because it is through those platforms that those ideologies and those False Narratives are spread so quickly and so widely across our country. Just to touch on something you just said a moment ago. Yesterday on the show we were talking to former fbi and cia official phil mudd. He said hes not only concerned about physical security. Hes worried about how the language of Political Violence is becoming mainstreamed and accepted in the u. S. These days. Take a listen. What ive seen change over the last year isnt just the threat to windows. Its more and more politicians saying what happened is maybe an acceptable part of the political landscape. I dont care how hard you secure windows or how many people you hire. If this starts to be part of the american political dialogue that is violence against a building, no intel guy, no security guy can secure that building. Do you agree . Do you think this language of Political Violence, of is becoming discouragingly mainstream and accept considered acceptable among too many people . Jake, i think that the language of division creates a vulnerability because that divide is filled, and it is filled with ideologies that speak against our social norms. It is filled by False Narratives. It is filled by our Nation State Adversaries that seek to exploit that divide and actually widen it. So i do i am very concerned about it. But we are vigilant in response to it. It goes back, jake, to something i said just a moment ago. That the words of leaders matter. We need leaders to lead responsibly, to communicate to the American Public truths. You know, we speak very often about the very wellestablished rule of law. We also need the rule of fact to prevail in our country. And were very focused on that as well. Good luck tomorrow, secretary mayorkas. We appreciate your time today. Thank you, jake. Tomorrow, join us for an unprecedented gathering inside the u. S. Capitol with police, lawmakers and political leaders.

Expect a passionate plea for Election Reform from President Biden tomorrow before a more expanded speech next week. According to the white house hes going to touch on the issue when he delivers a speech marking one year since the deadly capitol insurrection. The white house is also laying the ground for biden possibly supporting a Senate Rule Change to get an Election Reform bill passed. But as Cnns Kaitlan Collins reports, President Biden first has to get two key democrats on board. Reporter on the oneyear anniversary of the attack on the capitol, President Biden plans to call out former President Trump. Is he going to address his predecessors role in the riot . Yes. Reporter in the same halls where rioters roamed frooly last year, biden will be unambiguous about who is to blame. President biden will lay out the significance of what happened at the capitol and the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos and carnage that we saw. And he will forcibly push back on the lies spread by the former president in an attempt to mislead the American People and his own supporters. Reporter asked if the president will name trump directly, press secretary jen psaki said it will be clear who hes referencing. He sees january 6th as a tragic culmination of what those four years under President Trump did to our country. Reporter biden is also expected to mention Voting Rights as democrats make a renewed push to pass legislation. Republicans have made it abundantly clear that bipartisanship is not an option when it comes to Voting Rights. Reporter Senator Schumer outlined his plan to try to pass Voting Rights bills again and if democrats fail to garner any republican support like they have for months, democrats will move to change the senate rules so they can pass with just 51 votes. If Senate Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster to prevent this body from acting, the senate must adapt. Reporter but Senator Schumer has yet to get the votes of two critical democrats to change the rules. Seniority Kyrsten Sinema and senator joe manchin. Any time theres a carveout, you eat the whole turkey. Theres nothing left because it comes back and forth. Reporter Minority Leader senator mcconnell is accusing democrats of trying to justify a rules change by invoking january 6th. The fact that violent criminals broke the law does not entitle Senate Democrats to break the senate. Reporter progress on Voting Rights has been slow. So sluggish in fact that senator tim kaine described it as slow as my commute. After the virginia democrat was stranded for nearly 27 hours amid a nightmarish winter storm. It wasnt boring because, you know, it was kind of a survival challenge. Reporter jake, the white house has confirmed cnns reporting that President Biden and Vice President Harris Will Travel To Atlanta next week to talk in a bigger way about Voting Rights. Of course, after jen psaki saying hell mention it while on capitol hill tomorrow morning. Kaitlan collins, thanks. Lets bring in our panel. Scott jennings, i want to play an excerpt from Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pushing back on democrats who want to change senate rules for Election Reform, including making sure that State Legislatures cant interfere in the voting process. Take a listen. They assume that people who get elected to the legislatures are idiots. Why would any legislator, any legislature in america want to overturn the counting of votes . They have to get elected by those people, too. The notion that some State Legislature would be crazy enough to say to their own voters, were not going to honor the results of the election is ridiculous. Scott, with all due respect to leader mcconnell, has he been listening to donald trump, republican members of congress, or republican State Legislators since November 2020 . Thats exactly what they have been pushing, overturning the will of the voters in their states. Well, two issues, jake. Number one, i think hes also saying that if you are a State Legislator and you say im going to overturn the results of an election on a ballot that i didnt like, but i also won on, im going to fix one election and not the other, it would make no sense. The other issue mcconnell has is he simply opposes any effort by the democrats to federalize or have a federal takeover of what has historically in this country been a staterun system, centralized system of elections. He wants no interference from the federal government in what the states, county and municipalities do with their elections. Hell not change and i dont think anybody in the republican conference is going to bend on it. Just to make not to make too fine a point on this, but thats what not only legislatures but congressmen david, you can talk about this. Members of congress, republican members of congress from pennsylvania, for example, with one exemption, all voted to not count the votes from pennsylvania even though they were elected on that same ballot. I agree with you it makes no sense, but, david, help me out here. Thats what they tried to do. They absolutely tried to do it. And also one thing that is has to be understood here is that these State Legislatures end to run very different races. They dont have the same necessarily the same constituency that you have in a president ial election. So its a little bit of a different electoral incentive. But heres the thing, jake. If Mitch Mcconnell is dead set against federal interference in the state president ial elections, you know what he should be willing to do . Reform the electoral count act because that is exactly what the Trump Administration tried to do. Thats what the team trump tried to do was to get federal interference in the state elections through manipulation of the electoral count act and thats something thats lowhanging fruit that should be consistent with leader mcconnells philosophy of hands off of the state elections because right now the electoral count act is too vulnerable to manipulation at the federal level that could overturn the results of an election. You wrote a great piece in the dispatch about this. The electoral count act was written in 1887. Its confusing. Its difficult to understand the language is weird and they were trying to exploit through bizarre interpretations the idea that pence could overturn the election. Why not, if you are Chuck Schumer, why not at least do that . You dont even have sinema and Manchin On Board to pass or to change the Filibuster Rules to pass the Election Reform bills. Why not say, okay, Mitch Mcconnell, lets do what david french says and make sure at least this hole is plugged. I dont think Chuck Schumer has the political will to do it. And i think he is atrade of the pushback and i think he is the constitutionality. Doing this, Making Carve Outs for the filibuster is something thats very difficult even for joe biden. Its difficult for Chuck Schumer. Its difficult for joe manchin. So theres an entire group of people who are democrats for whom this is very difficult. And jake, i just want to say im so glad that we are talking Voting Reform and voting laws this day, the day before january 6th. Because we all have to keep in mind that january 6th was about overturning legitimate election results. They were not able to do it by violence, but some republicans have dedicated themselves for the last year to do it legislatively. Whether it makes sense or not. And scott, the white house says in bidens speech tomorrow hes going to call out the singular responsibility trump has for the Capitol Attack which is something that both Kevin Mccarthy and Mitch Mcconnell said at the time. Meanwhile, donald trump canceled his event tomorrow. Is that welcome news for most republicans . Well, i mean, you know, any republican in their heart of hearts, if they were being honest, would tell you they have eyes and ears and a television or were in the capitol. They saw what happened. They know who is responsible for it, who whipped up a mob, who encouraged the feeding of the lies and fed them directly to the mob. Theres no mystery here on what happened. Regarding the Electoral College act count act. Mcconnell did open the door to this process. He was open to it. Looked like something that needed to be dealt with. I know he thinks the threshhold the law gives, essentially one senator and one congressman can give a wave of false hope and set off in this case a crisis under the confines of this law. And so i think my sense is that if something is going to happen, its going to be done in a bipartisan way. The Real Question here, like the infrastructure bill, the Real Question is will Chuck Schumer allow this chunk of it as you suggested to go without the other things. This should not be linked to what the democrats want to do on other elections. This is its own issue. It deserves to be looked at, and i think theres openness to that as long as its not linked to the other stuff that republicans simply just dont agree with. David, republicans, as we were talking about, were quick to call out trump right after the attack. This is what Kevin Mccarthy sound like a year ago this month. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And mcconnell doesnt talk about this much but hasnt changed his position. Mccarthy, i dont even recognize him in that clip. He completely sounds different, david. Yeah, heres the depressing truth, jake. If you look at the data, even right after january 6th, there were two republicans whose Approval Ratings plunged with Republican Voters and one whose Approval Ratings remain sky high. The one whose approval remained sky high was donald trump. The two republicans whose Approval Ratings plunged after january 6th, mike pence, Mitch Mcconnell. In other words, the message was sent very loud and clear from the base to the Party Establishment that you have to stick with donald trump, and these guys have heard that and they responded to that. And thats sad. Ana navarro, final thought . I just its so shameful and so pathetic. Im so grateful you played that. I hope tomorrow, january 6th, we play it over and over again because it was so many republicans that at the moment had the backbone to call a spade a spade. And today, have the lack of shame to pretend that it didnt happen. To want to move on. And my question, time and time again is, forget about putting country over party. How about showing some loyalty and gratitude to the Law Enforcement officials who took the blows and who took the attacks physically in order to protect them. Have they no shame . We cannot forget what happened on january 6th. Thanks to all of you. Really appreciate it. School it out for thousands of students in one major city.

S. Officials were quick to condemn this test. What else do we know about the launch . If this test was successful, it would be the second time the north koreans have tested a hypersonic system. Of course, a missile that flies extremely fast which, if successful, the u. S. Has no defense for right now. So thats why theres obviously some concern about it. But theres a lot of questions here about what exactly they fired and did it really travel more than 400 miles and hit its target with precision . Does north korea really have that capability right now . A lot of questions by u. S. Experts and the u. S. Government about all of this. The u. S. Says they believe it was a Ballistic Missile and that it flew not for very long, perhaps less than a minute and for that reason, they have very little electronic intelligence, very little in the way of emissions from the mission that may tell them exactly what it was.

Several major School Districts are making changes due to the recent surge in omicron cases, including in chicago where the Teachers Union voted to switch to virtual learning. Cnns Adrienne Broaddus reports, students there are now the ones caught in the middle between the standoff between the Teachers Union and School District officials. This has been going on for way too long. Reporter School Canceled again for more than 340,000 students in chicago. Parents like laurie left scrambling. She supports teachers but doesnt agree with the unions actions. Im really, really mad. Students belong in school. Remote learning doesnt work. Frankly, id Rather School have been canceled today than have my son sit in front of a chromebook again. Reporter the Chicago Teachers Union voting to refuse showing up in person for work and asking for a return to Remote Learning, citing concerns over covid19 safety. Dont keep using us as sacrificial lambs saying that its safe to be in schools. Its not. Reporter the district canceled classes on wednesday in response and before the unions vote, mayor lightfoot made it clear she wants students in the classroom. The schools are safe and the doctor has said that and we know it because of the hundreds of millions of dollars that cps has invested in our schools from ventilation to hepa filters to partitions to masks, to hand sanitizers to protocols. Reporter the union challenging the decision to have everyone back in schools and in person and calling the district unprepared. The city has failed to deliver a whole number of basic demands that we need in schools. Has failed to provide adequate staffing, adequate cleaning in the schools. Has failed to provide adequate testing. Has failed to address our concerns as people going to the schools. Reporter kiana is an educator at park manor elementary.

When they went to log into that online portal, they were locked out. Jake . Adrienne, thank you. Lets talk about this with a mom, natasha dunn is the mother of a seventh grader in Chicago Public schools. As a Working Mother who only found out late last night that schools are going to be closed, how are you managing this . Well, i mean, im bag to square one. Its really difficult for me to really be able to Pay Attention to my daughters Learning Needs and work full time. I feel like this was a catastrophic failure. I do think that the ctu was completely reckless and forcing an entire district to go on Remote Learning when the when cps has mitigations in progress now. Our School District is not the most perfect School District at all. But what i will say is that they do have a transparent process for us as parents and community to see what are the needs of our schools in terms of safety. And so far, the data have shown that our kids are safe in the building. Now some schools might have problems, so im not saying all schools are perfect, but it does not resonate to the point where you should interrupt the learning of over 300,000 students at 500 schools across the district. We are a humongous district. What theyve done is set us back. We dont want to stay back. We want to move forward. Families everywhere, mine, too. I have a 12yearold and 14yearold. They were exhausted by almost two years of pandemic parenting. How difficult has this period been for you and your daughter since it began in march 2020 . Well, its been difficult because i also have twins who graduated in the pandemic. They are part of the class of 2020. So for them they didnt really have an opportunity to, you know, experience what a Graduation Ceremony would be. They didnt go to prom. They were stripped of a lot of things that most young people look forward to when theyre ending their high school years. And in terms of my daughter, she is in her prime, you know, developmentally as an adolescent. Its very vital for her to be around students, for her to be able to socialize and for her to be comfortable going into a school building. Most importantly, for her to have facetoface instruction. What we know right now is that Remote Learning was a catastrophic failure. Specifically for black students across the country. Our students were behind before the pandemic and when i tell you this pandemic has really put us in a state of emergency, it actually has. And so while we have people who are fighting to keep the schools closed, theres nobody fighting to close the gaps that existed before the pandemic. And the reason why im upset is because, you know, thats important to me. My daughters future is important to me. The future generation of our children who we need to be prepared to lead and to be able to work jobs and science and math industries and move our country forward, theyll not be prepared. Have you spoken with any of your daughters teachers . You know, i havent really spoken to them, but i do know from other parents that my daughters school, the teachers are very, you know, passionate about their jobs and they want to be back in the classroom as well. You know, they really wasnt sure about what they were voting for. What i am learning is that essentially ctu went on unauthorized strike. The teachers were under the impression they have the authority to vote for Remote Learning when they didnt actually have that. That was never an option for them to be able to do. Remote learning is something thats activated when the Illinois Department of health and the superintendent determines and deems thats something we need to do.

In our politics lead today, President Joe Biden is two weeks shy of his first full year in office and is quietly outpacing all of his modernday predecessors on a significant achievement thanks to the democrats rather slim majority in the senate. Biden may have only ten months left to finish what he started. Reporter with hotbutton issues roaring into federal courts, the white house is setting a blistering pace. President Biden Nominating more federal judges in his first year than the Record Number put up by former President Trump in his. With more than twice as many confirmed in the senate. Like trump, he is trying to shape american justice for decades. In many ways, joe biden stole from trumps playbook. Trump went in, even before he was president , and said he wanted to change the face of the courts. And after four years, he did it. Reporter to turn back the trump tide, bidens picks have been far more diverse and less likely to come from the ranks of prosecutors. Trump picked mainly white men. Bidens list is filled with women and people of color. More former public defenders to the bench than any administration in American History p. Id respect the authority of every Supreme Court justice and all of its precedence. See, i dont believe you. I think you allowed your political beliefs to cloud your judgment. Reporter republicans have not made it easy while they cheered trump loading the courts for their side and howled about democratic efforts to stop it, now they are doing the same to bidens picks. Did you intend for violent criminals to be released early . The democrats ha s s have st united. Without that, they would have failed. Every one of his Appeals Court nominees got over 40 nay votes. Reporter polls next fall could hand republicans a majority in the senate where their outrage over whats happening now federal judges appointed for life. That is a long time. Reporter could quickly overrule the Democratic Party so far remarkably successful case for change. They really need to have a majority in the senate to be able to push through these nominees and if that were to switch, that would really stall joe bidens efforts here. Reporter of course, there is the Supreme Court in all of this. Trump helped establish a conservative majority there by picking three new justices. A chance he got, in part, thanks to then Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. If the election goes against the democrats, biden may not get to name even one. Jake . Tom foreman, thanks so much.

I got dressed and by the time i got downstairs, the fire trucks were turning the corner. I was a teeacher all my life an i just cant even i cant wrap my head around the tragedy of these relatives that are going to have to pick up their lives after this. I taught at the school down the street, a block away, and some of those kids went there. Reporter you know, jake, that emotion that you heard there from bill is something i have heard all throughout the day, from officials, from the mayor to the fire department, all the way down to these people who live in this neighborhood. This is a truly tragic day in philadelphia, and one that has a lot of questions. Hopefully answers will be coming in the next couple of days and weeks, jake. Thank you so much.
