change voting laws. let's go outfront. good evening, i did erin burnett. outfront tonight, one year since the deadly assault on the united states capitol. just a short time ago members of the house and senate gathering on the steps of the capitol for a prayer vigil, the site where one year ago today the world watched in horror as thousands of trump supporters stormed the capitol in an effort to overturn the election. it was a dark and important day in american history. today president biden addressed it head on in his most passionate address to the nation yet, saying america needs to use january 6th to renew our democracy. >> i know how difficult democracy is. i'm crystal clear about the threats america faces. but i also know that our darkest days can lead to light and hope. so now let's step up. write the next chapter in american history. january 6 marks not the end of democracy, but the beginning of a renaissance of liberty and fair play. >> biden taking it farther on responsibility and accountability, calling trump out directly, personally for his lies and for inciting the attack. >> the former president of the united states of america has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. he's done so because he values power over principle. because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest and america's interest. and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept he lost. >> a dark reality, though, tonight is this. 71% of republicans still believe the election was stolen. that's the latest poll from abc news. even now, 429 days after the election. >> i believe it was stolen for sure. >> and do you still believe it? >> i still believe it. >> trump won the election. they have proven it over and over again. >> do you think biden won the election? >> i don't believe he did. >> i think trump won, yes. >> i think it was -- the machines were rigged. >> these things are all false. they're just not true. not a single thing, and that's dangerous. on the anniversary of an insurrection, which was fueled by americans' belief in those lies, we are now learning that as rioters were storming the capitol, breaking windows, attacking police, an official tells cnn that trump officially refused to include the words "stay peaceful" in his tweet that was sent out not even until 2:38 when he said please support our capitol police and law enforcement. they are truly on the side of our country. stay peaceful. according to the official, trump wanted to let the violence play out. and then trump's former press secretary is giving us some guidance. we know trump was watching tv watching all this go on. well, stephanie grisham said trump was gleeflee watching the violence unfold and hitting rewind so he can watch it again, loving every moment of what he saw. that is why it is so tragic. everyone should be able to understand that trump's behavior is wrong. for the most part today republicans did everything they could to avoid talking about what happened january 6th. in the house, only two republicans were present for the moment of silence. only one of them is an elected republican right now, congresswoman liz cheney. she was there along with her father, the former vice president, dick cheney. there were a couple of statements, including one from mitt romney, who wrote we ignore the lessons of january 6th at our own peril. democracy is fragile. it cannot survive without leaders of integrity and character who care more about the strength of our republic than about winning the next election. well, every republican should be out saying that. i mean it shouldn't be controversial. this is the united states of america, right? they should all understand the grave nature of the attack on january 6th and the danger to america's democracy. but instead they turn a blind eye. and in his speech today, biden called them out. >> you can't love your country only when you win. you can't obey the law only when it's convenient. you can't be patriotic when you embrace and enable lies. those who stormed this capitol and those who instigated and incited and those who called on them to do so held a dagger at the throat of america and american democracy. >> and that dagger is still there because a disturbing number of americans now, right now, think it's okay to rise up against their government. according to a recent poll, 40% of republicans think violence against the government is sometimes justified. and don't just say this is a gop problem. it's 41% of independents who believe the same thing. and democrats, who were on the winning side of the election, 23% of them are saying they believe violence is sometimes okay. none of that is okay. no one should be okay with those numbers. outfront now, gloria borger, cnn chief political analyst, john avlon and jamie gangel, our special correspondent. john, let me start with you, former speechwriter yourself. you see president biden address the nation today with real passion in his voice that we frankly have not heard before in an address like this from him. how important was this moment? >> it was an historic moment and he met the moment with the strongest speech of his presidency to date. he was strong. as you said, he was resolute. and there was vivid language that not only condemned the former president for the actions he took that led to the insurrection, but redirected the energy of the moment towards defending our democracy. with imagery like holding a knife to the throat of our democracy, that's language that will stick in people's minds and hopefully help us straighten our civic backbone to meet the future together. >> gloria, president biden talked about democracy and talked about the importance but he also put the blame, called it out and was very clear. something that again until now we have not heard him do like this. here he is. >> former president's supporters are trying to rewrite history. they want you to see election day as the day of insurrection. and the riot that took place here on january 6th as a true expression of the will of the people. can you think of a more twisted way to look at this country, to look at america? he's a defeated former president. defeated by a margin of over 7 million of your votes. and a full and free and fair election. >> gloria, he has never spoken like that before. >> no, he hasn't. you got the sense listening to biden that he has been thinking about this for a long time this year and that he finally got it off his chest. it's almost as if he were an attorney making a closing argument to a jury of the american public saying look at what this guy did. so he not only sees trump as challenging democracy itself, but he's also challenging joe biden's legitimacy as president of the united states. and biden is angry about it. and he's angry at what trump has done to the country. and he finally told the country, a year after january 6th, just how he feels about it. i mean there was no way he was going to get up there today and be wishy-washy. i think he decided that, you know, he had to tell it straight. >> and the thing is, though, jamie, i quoted mitt romney, lisa murkowski, a senator also put out a statement. she was loud and clear. let me quote from it here. the u.s. capitol was stormed by a mob incited by our former president. those of us who were there to fulfill our constitutional responsibilities can never erase what we saw and heard. look, those are firm statements, resolute statements today. on the floor today, though, liz cheney was the only elected republican on the house floor. and most republicans elected, they dismissed the january 6th attack. what are you hearing from republicans about why every day there seem to be fewer in washington willing to stake a stand? >> someone like liz cheney is clearly very disappointed and frankly finds it hard to believe. when she speaks to her colleagues privately, they say to her keep doing it, you're doing the right thing. but those statements from murkowski and romney, they're very nice statements. but where were they today? can you imagine that dick cheney returns to the house of representatives and he is warmly welcomed by democrats. the absence of any other republicans today was just -- it couldn't have been any more striking. >> john, here's what we actually heard from republicans today on camera. here's ron desantis. >> i think it's going to end up being just a politicized charlie foxtrot today. i don't expect anything good to come out of anything that pelosi and the gang are doing. i don't expect anything from the corporate press to be enlightening. i think it's going to be nauseating, quite frankly. >> and ron desantis is now standard bearer for the gop, john. >> yeah. and you know what's nauseating besides that statement? january 6th. having a big lie metastasize throughout an entire political party with a few rare and honorable exceptions. and for phony ivy league populists like ron desantis to play to the cheap seats and try to make the issue the commemoration of an attack on our democracy, an attempt to overturn the heart of our government, to say that the coverage is the problem, not the act of trying to overturn a government -- an election by a sitting president who he supports, when he still won't come out and clearly condemn those actions, that's what's disgusting. that's what pathetic. >> gloria, here's what congresswoman liz cheney said today when she was asked about where the committee is in the investigation, specifically about mike pence, right, who was in the room that day, people calling to hang him, his life in jeopardy. here's what she said. >> former vice president pence was a hero on january 6th. he refused the pressure of the former president. we look forward to continuing the cooperation that we've had with members of former vice president's team and look forward as well to his cooperation. >> what are you hearing about how this might play out, gloria? >> can you tell the committee wants to hear from mike pence? how many people from that committee have we heard calling mike pence a hero. you know, they clearly want to have him come in voluntarily. i don't think it's in the cards that they would ever subpoena a former sitting vice president. they'd like to see him face to face. at this point we don't know when or if that would happen. it's been suggested to me that perhaps mike pence could answer written questions, who knows if they would even offer that as a possibility. didn't go so well with mueller when he had president trump answering written questions. clearly, mike pence is so key to their investigation. he was the target of a lot of this violence on january 6th, as you just pointed out. so they need to talk to him. >> so, jamie, you have a lot of reporting on this. what are you hearing about whether pence will cooperate and in what form? >> so, you know, the conventional wisdom has seemed to be that mike pence -- that it would be very unlikely that he would cooperate. but to gloria's point, i think the door is still open. and there's some evidence of that, and that is that mike pence's top aides, his closest, his former chief of staff, his former counsel, they are cooperating with the committee. liz cheney put that on the record today. my understanding is the relationship is very good. i think that what she said today, and as gloria said that they're calling him a hero, one other source said to me today the committee keeps talking about how, quote, pence played a crucial role in upholding democracy and he has an important story to be told. they are trying to do everything they can to get him in the door. >> we will see. of course that is the crucial, crucial question right now. thank you all very much. and next, capitol police officer brian sicknick lost his life after responding to the capitol riot. his long-time partner joins me with what she wants to see now. plus the lengths republicans are going to to capitalize on trump's big lie, even firing at fake dominion voting machines. >> i'm ron hanks and i approve this message. and we are learning that then president-elect kamala harris was inside the dnc when the pipe bomb was

discovered nearby. now, white house official and a former law enforcement official have confirmed this to cnn. so not long after that pipe bomb was discovered, hundreds of police officers defending the u.s. capitol were viciously attacked by the mob. the rioters threatened to kill the officers, calling them traitors. five of those officers ultimately lost their lives. four by suicide. more than 100 other officers were injured. some of them needing hospitalization. president biden and others honoring the sacrifices made that day by the officers, including capitol police officer brian sicknick. >> officer brian sicknick, who lost his life the day after the attack. >> in recognition of the service and sacrifice of officer brian sicknick -- >> u.s. capitol police officer brian sicknick. >> outfront now, sondra garza, the long-time partner of brian sicknick. sondra, i'm sorry to talk to you today. i know that tomorrow is the anniversary of brian's loss for you after he bravely defended the u.s. capitol one year ago today. how are you coping with this and feeling today? >> well, i feel a mix of emotions. first i just want to say as i was waiting for my segment to begin, i saw that clip of ron desantis and that infuriated me. how insensitive for him to make those comments. just as much as i get infuriated when i hear gohmert, marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert and other scum bags who make these terrible insensitive comments and downplay the horrific things that happened on january 6th. it just makes me incredibly angry. and i believe, if i'm not mistaken, and you can correct me here, marjorie taylor greene and louis gohmert and others actually went into the jail to visit some of the rioters, which they haven't visited me. they haven't visited any of the families of the officers who were injured or any of the families of the officers who committed suicide. it's just disgusting. >> well, and there's many officers to visit. you know, as you point out, five officers died. >> that's right. >> more than 100 were injured. they're all in the metropolitan area, so they certainly could have if they wanted to do so. you know, we hear about the head of the capitol police was speaking, the capitol police chief earlier saying the full force right now is still 400 officers short of full capacity. now, i know that brian served on the capitol police for more than 12 years. he was passionate to that and had committed himself to that. what would he think of all this, that this is where we are now? and i guess i say this in the context of conversations that you and i have had. i know that brian's politics were not -- were not -- you know, this would have shocked him. >> yes. it would have. you know, i can't say that i'm surprised they have lost this many officers. they were screaming loud and clear that they wanted change. you know, they didn't really get much change. from what i know, and in fairness i'm not an employee with the capitol police, but from what i know and have heard from the officers that i keep in contact with, they actually liked the chief. a lot have said they thought he was the fall guy. and the people who are still there a year later who they actually didn't feel really had their backs or really did what they were supposed to do -- and this is just factual, okay, are still there. and there really hasn't been any accountability. so, you know, they can't expect morale to increase and people to stay if they don't feel their voices are heard. i've heard them say they feel like a lot of politics are going on instead of what's in their best interests. and that's just, you know, how they feel and what i've been told. again, i'm not an employee there, i don't work there, so -- >> no, i understand. but it's important -- it's important context and nuance here because you're talking about 400 shy in an environment where plenty of americans obviously still believe the election was rigged, they believe violence is justified, and yet here we are. we did just find out, i don't know if you heard at the very top as i was introducing you, that vice president-elect harris at the time, she was actually at the dnc and evacuated after that pipe bomb was discovered nearby that day. she was actually there. and the person who planted that pipe bomb is still on the loose. one of more than 350 people in fact, sandra, who have not been identified and therefore not held accountable for their actions related to the insurrection. how does that make you feel? >> it's terrifying. it's very upsetting. you know, i have to say, you know, there's two things going on here. one, what we just discussed. you know, you had a lot of officers within the capitol police leave. so you're down a lot of officers there. and then, you know, the fbi and homeland security, the u.s. capitol police intelligence agency, i know that it takes hours and hours and hours to go through all of that footage. i know if i had to go through all of that footage, my eyeballs would pop out. i know they work long shifts. i know they work very, very hard so i have to give them a pat on the back for that. but at the same time, you know, a lot of us want justice. for me personally, you know, i really want to get the ones that were extremely sadistic and the ones that caused the most harm. obviously, yes, everyone needs to be held accountable. the ones that were trespassing, you know, things like that. but the ones that i really want to get were the ones who brutalized and beat officers, did terrible, terrible things. those are the ones that we need to get the most because those are the ones that pose the biggest threat. you know, as far as the person who planted the pipe bombs, yeah. i know the fbi is working very, very hard on that as well as other law enforcement agencies. i know they're putting their heads together. i personally, and i'm not a law enforcement expert by any means so i want to make that clear, but i kind of feel like this person is involved with some kind of underground organization. either they're keeping extremely tightly lipped and all their people are or they're a lone wolf and they just haven't talked. but they're going to get caught. at some point they're going to get caught. that's my belief. i have faith in that. >> we hope so, and all americans should hope so, to have justice for this. thank you so very much, sandra. i appreciate you and my thoughts are with you today and tomorrow, really tomorrow. thank you. >> thank you so much, erin. thank you. and next,

this on december 23rd, nearly two weeks before the deadly riots. this comes as president biden is calling out former president trump for inciting that violence and the republicans who continue to support trump's lie. >> he's done what no president in american history, the history of this country has ever, ever done. he refused to accept the results of an election and the will of the american people. while some courageous men and women in the republican party are standing against it, trying to uphold the principle of that party, too many others are transforming that party into something else. they seem no longer to want to be the party, the party of lincoln, eisenhower, reagan, the bushes. >> sara murray is outfront. >> i'm ron hanks, and i approve this message. >> reporter: u.s. senate hopeful ron hanks is shooting at fake dominion voting machines and calling for an audit in colorado, a state joe biden won in 2020 by more than 13 points. in liberal washington state, a local republican party is knocking on doors, trying to uncover voter fraud. >> we're canvassing now in about a dozen counties. >> reporter: in minnesota, a bright red downy in a state that's gone blue since 1976, residents of pressing the board of commissioners for an audit based on false and misleading pretenses. >> that log will tell us if that thing went onto the internet and switched any votes. >> reporter: and in alabama, which former president trump carried by 25 points, republican secretary of state john merrill is still batting back unfounded claims of fraud. >> i think a lot of that is people listening to people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. it's almost as if they will claim that a murder was committed and yet they cannot prove that the person ever lived, let alone a body or a weapon. >> reporter: in the year since rioters stormed the u.s. capitol convinced the 2020 election was stolen, many republicans are still lapping up trump's election lies. they're pressuring local officials to revisit 2020. some are even running for higher office. others are passing legislation making it easier to meddle in election administration. >> 32 of those bills have become law in 17 states, which is a really unprecedented amount of legislative interest in the mechanics of election administration. >> reporter: efforts to undermine confidence in election results began in hotly contested battleground states. but have since ballooned into a nationwide crusade. in colorado, election officials like justin grantham are aware of hank's ad. >> with this copy machine that he blew up with a rifle, yes, i have seen that. >> reporter: but state representative hanks rebuffed offers to learn about the voting systems firsthand. >> i've extended offers to come and talk to me about the election and he's not responded and not come in. >> reporter: hanks told cnn he appreciates the offers but he did his own research. >> i didn't really need it. i was at other locations and so that made it rather redundant. >> reporter: asked why he's still spreading debunked conspiracies, hank says nothing has been debunked. >> i think that is a false argument. we have found evidence and it is compounding daily. >> reporter: back in alabama, when merrill met with election deniers, including mike lindell, he easily debunked their claims. >> the information that they had been sharing with us could have been cleared up by doing a simple google search of addresses. >> reporter: other officials are aiming to appease their constituents. when cnn asked a commissioner who said he was confident in the county's election for an interview -- >> i got an email last night. i'm going t read it. >> reporter: he read our request to to a committee. >> motion passes. >> reporter: now, democracy advocates are already worrying that this drumbeat of disinformation could pave the way for more violence around future elections. dominion voting systems also warned that ads like the one ron hanks is running endanger their employees and their customers. now two republican election official who say stood up for the truth and for the vote count defying the former president and many in their own party because they certified biden's win as president, brad raffensperger and bill gates in arizona. appreciate both of you. i'm glad to have had the opportunity to speak to each of you so many times. in a sense i'm frustrated because we have to keep talking about this. secretary raffensperger, let me start with you. obviously you saw your colleague there in alabama who was speaking up for the truth, but so many of these republicans that he has to refute that you see in other states. colorado as she points out still asking for audits. claiming falsehoods about the election. you heard one who said the evidence of fraud is compounding daily. this is more than a year later. what is your reaction when you hear these people saying this stuff now? >> well, i know as it relates to alabama, secretary merrill, now standing secretary of state knows his business. every allegation that was made i had to write a book to set the record straight. every allegation that was made never proved out. it was never supported by the facts. they said thousands of dead people. we foundi four, things like tha. that just has continued to this day. so it's very interesting. today in atlanta, georgia, we had a memorial service for senator johnny isaacson and that's principled leadership. it was uplifting, it was bipartisan. people came together and they recognized that's a man that really led with principled leadership. that's what the high calling i think all of us that hold elected office should be driving striving to do, it was a tremendous service for a tremendous man. >> bill, you talk about secretary raffensperger, i know you completed and had a 91-page rebuttal to the cyber ninjas fraud in arizona. you went through it point by point by point, 93 pages, and doing it in the context of a poll that 62% of republicans say there is evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, which is identical -- it's basically identical to the number of republicans who said that one week after the attack on the capitol. so look, secretary raffensperger has written a book. you have put out a 93-page report. do you think anything will break through to people who believe this stuff? >> well, erin, you know, it's not easy. but the reality is we have to present the facts. and we were doing this 93-page report in response to what the cyber ninjas said. and they put out so much misinformation, so many allegations that had no basis in fact, that we had to respond point by point. and there are some people who won't listen to what we have to say. but for those people who do have an open mind, it's so important that we get the facts out there not only for the 2022 election and hopefully, you know, getting people to have that faith again in our election system, but it's also for history. we have to set the record straight and defend these good election workers that ran a great election in 2020. >> well, that is the important thing, that history needs to have the facts at hand instead of innuendo. secretary, former president obama put out a statement today and his quote was, the truth is that our democracy is at greater risk today than it was back then, referring to january 6th a year ago. do you see it that way, secretary? do you have those concerns? >> i have some concerns, but also i understand that there's a lot of good people that hold elected office that are principled leaders. so that's really what you need to look at. how do we really help people like that get elected and then encourage them to stand firm on the truth. that's what i've done. i know that my party was very disappointed in the results. i get that. but that's why we checked out every single allegation and reviewed every single allegation and falsehood that was made. but i think that we're going through a very stressful time, and i understand that. but i'll continue to stand on the truth. there's other principled leaders that are doing the same and i'm very grateful for having mr. gates on here. they have done a good job. they stood hard on the truth to make sure people knew what the facts were and that's what we need to do up and down the line. >> liz cheney is obviously one of those leaders. today her father, the former vice president, was asked about the current republican leadership's handling on the anniversary of the attack. no republican house members other than liz cheney showed up today, none. many members put out statements and tweets denying the horrors of the day. so the former vice president said, bill, it's not leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was here for ten years. bill, what do you make of republican leadership in washington right now? >> well, it's disappointing to see that people aren't willing to say the truth. we've really seen almost a rewriting of the history of january 6th. and that's not what we should be doing right now. we should be thinking about what we saw, what we remember, and be honest with people and stand as republicans for the truth, and then move forward from 2020 and instead start to talk about the positive vision that we have as republicans for this country. >> secretary, before we go, obviously we all know the infamous phone call you had with president trump where he asked you to find one more vote and said 10,000 dead people voted which you refuted point by point. the former president said to watch biden speaking is hurtful. where did all those votes show up in georgia where they sold votes for $10 apiece. this is today what he's saying. what do you say to him? >> that relates to a potential investigation we have going on about ballot harvesting. no one is denying those were not legal votes, but they were doing illegal activities if they're harvesting the ballots but that's an ongoing investigation. people jump to conclusions all the time. let the investigators do their work. let us find out our subpoena powers to find this person who said they were paid to do this and we'll get into the details of that. at the end of the day every allegation that's been made so far has never panned out. i wrote a letter to congress. congress has had my letter for one year and never refuted a single point that i had in my letter. >> and you've refuted every single allegation of fraud and nothing has changed the result of the election in either of your states. thank you both so very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next, we'll head to capitol hill. my colleague jake tapper is standing by with a look at his special tonight. and tennis champ rafael
