Starting on tuesday there will be a 23u78 ber of opening arguments, then pre battles, rebuttals and senators will be able to speak about how they may vote. Finally, that final vote on whether to convict or acquit the final president. One thing that senators want to leave in the past is the long and lengthy trials. We remember during the first Impeachment Trial of the former president , it lasted roughly three weeks. Senators hoping this just goes until saturday, so not even a full week. Also, one thing we do know, one of the very few things that are concrete is the fact that the president has said he is not going to come the former president has said hes not going to come forward and testify in person during this Impeachment Trial. The House Democratic managers, Impeachment Managers say that shows a form of guilt, that President Trump has no defense whatsoever. They will actually continue to make their arguments by appealing to those 17 republican senators by reminding them about how they felt when they were all in hiding and trying to make sure that they remember that once the insurrection passed, that they came out, including some of those trumpsupporting republican members, who said that trump bear some brunt that what happened, he did incite some of this violence at least through his rhetoric. You remember minority leader Kevin Mccarthy saying he did and then switching as time went on saying, well, theres many people involved that caused this to happen. So they are very much trying to make emotional appeals, not only talking about their own testimony and what they went through during that day, but also making sure that their colleagues as well as staffers discuss what had happened to them on that day. You guys obviously showed that video where a number of Trump Supporters said, listen, we came here and were also leaving because the president told us to do so. A lot of evidence pointing to trumps rhetoric over time, especially in those leading days to hopefully get those 17 votes to formally convict the president. That is what democrats are hoping for. Monica, the former president s defense team will plan to say this isnt constitutional, you cant try to impeach a private citizens. 55 senators voted that it is constitutional to go ahead with the trial. Exactly, lindsay. The counterpart is what the former president s leigh Legal Defense team is also going to make a central argument here. Theyre going to say only five Senate Republicans said this could proceed. And it was the 45 other republicans who had issues with some of the constitutional questions. Thats really what has given david shone and bruce castor, Donald Trumps two attorneys, a lot of o confidence and what they would say even optimism about the outcome of this trial. Thats why they feel at the end of this donald trump will be acquitted for a second time. The other thing, of course, that is very different than the first Impeachment Trial is also a centerpiece of the case that theyre going to make which is the fact that now he is a former president and a private citizen, theyre going to say because this is the first time weve had a former president on trial in the senate, for inciting an insurrection, theyre going to say thats unconstitutional. Theyre also going to essentially say that what donald trump said On January 6th when he told his supporters to fight like hell and head to the capitol, that that might be protected under his First Amendment rights and free speech. Thats an argument theyre also going to be prepared to make. We know both of those things because they included them in a pretrial brief that was submitted last week. We dont know a lot more about schedules, questions, testimony, further witnesses. All of that is expected to be revealed tomorrow when we get some more guidance from the senate on what the rules are going to be. We also know from the former president s team, they dont expect this trial to go on very long. They think it could even be less than a week, but were not sure because we dont know what the expected schedule is. In terms of the former president , since hes been stripped of his preferred social media platforms, we havent heard much from him apart from Press Releases from his official office, its likely well be getting reaction. Its striking, kendis and lindsay, to think that a year ago when donald trump was in his first Impeachment Trial, he was not only reacting on twitter, he was on the Campaign Trail Holding rallies and had a complete team to try to do a counterprogramming effort. Ironically thats what were going to see from President Biden next week in washington, to try to make his own case for why people shouldnt be putting too much emphasis on the Impeachment Trial and more on what his priorities and legislative agenda is going to be in the coming days. We appreciate that, monica. As were watching that, i couldnt help but be reminded about what this is all about, the new propublica video showing the riots. I was watching one clip there, and it just never gets hold, watching that Confederate Flag there on the steps of the capitol in this new video theyve put out overnight. In the meantime, mike, in wilmington, President Biden will turn his focus away from the actual Impeachment Trial, but still plan a very, very busy week. Thats right, kendis. This is a real test for this Biden White House as they have really been very careful in trying to avoid weighing in on all things related to the former president. Theyre trying to move forward with their own agenda. So theyre going to do their best to try to counterprogram this Impeachment Trial, and mariana laid out, a lot of uncertainty about the schedule and the format. What were hearing from west wing officials is theyre going the look for opportunities for the president to take his message to voters outside of washington. Theres going to be a lot of attention and even our friends at snl hoping for surprises at the Impeachment Trial. But the president and the white house believe theres a lot of trump fatigue in the country and a lot of opportunity for him to continue to press the case for his 1. 9 trillion recovery plan. Youll see that on display tonight. One of the advantages the president has is a very significant audience that will be watching the super bowl pregame show. As part of that interview, hell try to sell the merits of his recovery plan. As we got a clip, we saw President Biden weighing in on his son hunter and his battle with substance abuse, as we learned this week that hunter biden has a book coming out later this year. Here is the president talking about what his son talks about in that book. The honesty with which he stepped forward and talked about the problem and the hope that it gave me hope reading it. It was like, my boy is back, you know what i mean . Anyway, im sorry to get so personal. If you want to talk about the real divide in the way the Biden White House looks at things, the this hunter biden is a perfect example. You think back to the campaign when President Trump was attacking hunter biden and biden had a very emotional moment during one of those debates, that so many families have had to even dur this. A continuing effort to take the message outside of washington and the media filter and talk directly to voters whenever possible. Mariana, congresswoman liz cheney is the latest to be censured by her own state party. Its an example of the divide within the republican party, especially in the house. We did see she was just another republican member of congress to be censured. Many of these republicans stating they siding with President Trump. This is a signal, also for senators who will decide whether to convict President Trump. We saw when congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, many republicans siding with her to make sure she wasnt stripped of committee assignments. A mart jo of the same congress voted to keep congresswoman cheney in that leadership position. She has said she put out a statement after the wyoming republican party. She said, my vote to impeach complied with my oath. She will likely continue to act and likely condemn the former president. But we have already seen a majority of the party at least publicly is still sticking with the former president , guys. Marianna sotomayor, monica alba and mike memoli, through all. Joining us now, kentucky congressman john yarmuth. Thanks for being with us. Good morning. Good to be with you. Theres a new poll showing how americans are split on the impeachment proceedings. Its from the a. P. 47 say, yes, trump should be convicted. 40 say no. Do these numbers surprise you . Did you think americans would be more unified on this front . No, i really didnt. I dont expect americans to be unified on much of anything these days. Im glad that the senate is moving to the trial. We impeached the president for what i believe and many believe is the most heinous act ever committed by a sitting u. S. President. I think the American People should see the case and hear the case against him. We pend to see everything through a partisan lens. Im sure there are Many Americans, particularly those in that 40 , who have not really connected the dots. I think thats what this trial will do. It will show the pattern of behavior from the president leading up to january 6th. And, of course, On January 6th that led to one of the most disturbing events in American History. I think the trial is worth conducting. Clearly it really doesnt make that much difference whether hes convicted or not. I think, again, we have to make the case because he needs to be held accountable, at least in the public arena, if not within an actual conviction. Congressman, im curious the extent of the case you all will be making. You have this new reporting by the Washington Post showing trumps voter fraud claims have apparently cost the american taxpayers at least 509 million 519 million, the majority of it on the insurrection and inauguration. Nearly 30 million on additional inaugurationrelated security and the rest on legal challenges and security for election officials. Would it benefit democrats to bring this up during the trial . I dont think thats the main point. I think were talking about a president who was reckless throughout his term, was never aware of the consequences of the things he did and said. That to me was the greater flaw is the greatest flaw in donald trump, is that he never understood the consequences and he was never held accountable for the consequences of his actions. So the 500 million is horrible. It never should have occurred. Again, this is one more piece of evidence about what a flawed human being donald trump is, and someone who never deserved to sit in that office, and i think were all glad most of us are glad that hes gone and cant do anymore damage. I was not in the Capitol Building on that day, but i sat in my office for six hours locked in by myself and with an incredible amount of sadness and not fear for my personal safety, but obviously for my colleagues and so many other people, the media people, the administrative staff who were in the capitol. Weve got to keep reminding people of, first of all, the violent tendencies that are out in this country right now, the hatred thats out there, the fear thats out there. Im so happy that a person like joe biden who does have empathy for everyone is in the white house because i think hes the perfect person to try and tamp down this great hostility thats out in the country right now. Congressman, we appreciate you being here so early. Congressman john yarmuth from the Greater Louisville area. A county that trump lost in 2016 but won four years later. Well talk with a Diverse Group of voters than his second Impeachment Trial. I think we have more important things to worry about right now than going through and wasting taxpayers time and money.

If he is convicted, he could be barred from Holding Public office again. The political implications here are clear, but how do voters feel about impeachment 2. 0 . Msnbc reporter Amanda Golden joins us from politically diverse and Freezing Cold milwaukee county, wisconsin. You talked to voters. What are they telling you . Reporter i can confirm its Freezing Cold, yes. Being in milwaukee county, this is an area that e are mains politically diverse, narrowly going from red to blue over the last several elections. In green field, an area outside the milwaukee proper area, thats where we talked to a number of voters across the political spectrum to get their take on whats going on with the Impeachment Trial and if it matters to them here at home. From the gop voters i spoke with, its interesting to hear that they dont hold President Trump accountable. They think an Impeachment Trial will further cause divisions in the country and they think its time to move on. They dont see his rhetoric as having incited the violence we saw that took place a month ago at the capitol. Democratic voters here felt there needed to be strong accountability in order to move forward towards unity. I want you to listen to what independent voter told me here in greenville. I think we have more important things to worry about right now than going through and wasting taxpayers time and money on something that really doesnt matter anymore. I think right now with the other things going on in the world, i think thats really what we need to focus on. Yeah, i dont think that it was the right thing. I dont think it was responsible by any means, but to spend the time go through all of that when we should be focusing on getting businesses open and getting people back to work. Reporter so my conversation with vicky was especially insightful. Shes an independent voter but seemed to side with many of the Republican Voters approaching this impeachment. She went a step further while saying she felt she was responsible for what happened, it was not necessary to dwell on and would rather focus on other pressing issues, especially around the pandemic in her community. You also asked about the Relief Package right now that so Many Americans are waiting for. What are people telling you . We may have lost her. Amman za, thank you so much for your reporting. Get back inside. Stay warm. Minus 20 degrees and equipment doesnt work . Its all frozen. Trumps lawyers will try to use the First Amendment as part of their impeachment defense. More than 100 constitutional scholars say not so fast. Well dig into that with our expert.

It has been a busy weekend of preparation as the entire country gears up for the second Impeachment Trial of donald trump. The senate will begin tuesday to begin opening arguments. And new this morning donald trump asked everybody to go home. He asked he put out a tweet. Its a minute long. Democrats plan to use this video taken by people at the capitol riot to argue that trump is responsible for what happened. Were so happy to have former u. S. Attorney and msnbc contributor joyce vance with us. Youve seen this video. Will video like this be convincing enough to get some republican senators to vote to convict . This video will be part of a package of evidence that house managers during the Impeachment Trial will present and the thrust of the argument they have to make here is not just that the events happened but that the president , in a sense, directed them. That the former president was the force that incited the riot either personally or through the events he hosted on the ellipse that morning. Impeachment is a funny creature, kendis. Its not a criminal trial where were talking about proof of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Its a political judgment that the senators, who were also witnesses and victims, will have to make. Its difficult to say with certainty what will influence them. I know from trying cases that when juries can see something. When you show them video or when they listen to the person on trials words on tape, that can have more force than just about any other kind of evidence. Mcconnell has said hes open minded. Trumps lawyer, bruce caster says he will argue ha the senate doesnt have the ability to convict a private citizen who does not currently hold office. Here is a small clip. In the federalist papers, its very clear that the clause which they spent a lot of time writing concerning the removal of the president was not a punishment, it was an Emergency Measure to remove from office a person who was a problem. They left the courts to be arbiter of the law. You know we had earlier, 45 republican senators who agreed that voting to impeach a former president is unconstitutional. Is it . The law about whats unconstitutional is whatever the senate says during an Impeachment Trial. For one thing, this president was impeached while he was still in office. He just left since then. So if we were to say its unconstitutional, that would mean there would be sort of a january forgiveness clause. Anything that a president did too close to the end of his term to be brought up on impeachment charges hed get a getoutofjailfree card for. That cant be what the Founding Fathers intended. Thats complicated by the fact that democrats were leaded to go. Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell held up the trial for a number of days until the inauguration occurred. Thata defeats the argument. It has to be possible to impeach a president after he leaves office if youre going to which is the notion youre disqualified for running for office in the future. All the factors Work Together to suggest this is a constitutional exercise of congresss power. Joyce, were expecting to hear from trumps legal team this argument of freedom of speech. Theres a new letter signed by more than 140 constitutional lawyers, both liberal and conservative and they call that argument legally frivolous. Do you agree . I do agree. Here is the analysis, lindsay. The First Amendment can protect a private citizen from being convicted of a crime in certain situations. Your free speech overpowers the governments right to criminalize your conduct. That doesnt apply in this case to a then sitting president because he is, of course, the government. When he comes up for trial in the senate, its not for a crime. Impeachment is about whether he violated his oath of office, whether or not he committed high crimes and misdemeanors. Thats something separate from the criminal interaction with the First Amendment. For the sake of argument, lets say the First Amendment applied to President Trump in this instance, the speech he engaged in here would not be protected by the First Amendment. What he did was inciting a riot. Thats what the charge is, thats what we hear e protesters saying, they did what the former president asked him to do. That sort of speech would be exempted from the First Amendment just like you cant cry fire in a crowded Movie Theater to set the crowd off. Thats essentially what trumps conduct here amounts to. It kind of sounds like there might be a case for the d. C. District attorney after this. Its possible that there could be a criminal case. The complication, kendis, is in a criminal case you would have to prove state of mind, prove that trump intended the outcome that occurred. That could be difficult, but i wouldnt rule it out. Got it. Joyce, this is why we have you here. We appreciate your analysis on this. Thank you so much. The super bowl countdown is down to hours, but fears are growing that Watch Parties could cause an explosion of covid cases. Were live on the ground in tampa with the latest.

Were going to have breakfast, working on Breakfast Burritos here, getting everybody fed before we get to the big game. Its been a very different runup to this super bowl, not the packed crowds that you normally see at these games. But still crowds here and people enjoying themselves. Talking about covid restrictions. The nfl has been making sure everybody wears their masks either indoor or outdoors at nfl events. Social distancing has been a bit of a problem when you see so many people in the area. Its going to be different inside the stadium behind us as well. Ive got to get these stirred up before they burn. Im going scrambled because i didnt do a good job cracking them. Only see 22,000 to 25,000 people inside the stadium. 8,000 of those Health Care Workers. Theyre going to be representing all the front line people who have done such a great job through the pandemic. We talked to fans. They didnt have tickets, but wanted to make sure they were here and a part of it. Listen to what one of them had to say. Do you think the bucs being at home is going to be an advantage or disadvantage. We beat them at home before. We play good no matter where we are. Obviously you think tampa bay is going to win the super bowl. Arrr. Were going to make kansas city walk the plank. I was going to wear that costume today, but i want to be impartial. Look, guys, it should be a great game. These are two pretty evenly matched teams. You have the greatest quarterback of all times, tom brady, and Patrick Mahomes, the heir apparent. When you talk to people who want to see the game, it feels like its kind of normal, getting ramped up for a super bowl. I think Everybody Needs some normal see. These eggs are watery. If we show you cooking every year. Thats all the normalcy i need. Jay, theres a little egg shell in there. Im curious. Did you just go producers dang it, i didnt think you guys would say that. I was president going to mention it. Kendis likes to stir the pot. Jay gray cooking breakfast for everybody in tampa bay. Enjoy the super bowl. From the fight for Racial Justice to record voter turnout, 2020 was a big year for black history. Were going to take a look at those influential moments next.

Amid a deadly pandemic, the blazing fight against Racial Injustice and those mounting threats to voting rights, the Africanamerican Community continues to overcome a number of inequities. As we mark the beginning of black history month, were highlighting the trials throughout 2020 and before that paved the way for the triumphs of 2021. Another big story were following, a jump in cases of a deadly mystery virus. The cdc says its a variation of coronavirus. Black people are dying from covid19 at a rate of six times higher than white counterparts. Many of the Frontline Workers are disproportionately black and brown. So Social Distancing is not an option for many people of color. We cant be business as normal, Business As Usual anymore. If not, all of us are going to get sick and a lot of workers are going to die. Leading africanamerican Medical Professionals also speaking up. We are urging our community to take safe and effective vaccine once available. Help us understand why theres so much distrust about a vaccine among the black and latino communities. Its more that the Health Care System has been untrustworthy to africanamericans. Thats where you have to change the narrative. Were used to being mistreated, experimented on and last in any category when it comes to health care. Front Line Health Care workers began receiving the first doses of the Pfizer Vaccine this morning. It seems fitting that a nurse in queens, new york, the epicenter in the pandemic in its earliest days receive the first approved vaccination in the country. I hope that me taking the vaccine today is an inspiration to you and that you should trust the science. This week we were reminded inevitably of a preexisting virus that has plagued Black Americans since long before this pandemic, racism. Protests tonight in minneapolis following the death of george floyd, the unarmed black man who died after a white officer detained him and pinned him down by kneeling on floyds neck. It has been 175 days, if you can believe it, since Louisville Police officers killed Breonna Taylor in a botched raid. Not one of the seven officers has been arrested and only one fired. This is 25yearold ahmaud arbery, hes now dead, while jogging in brought daylight on a sunday afternoon. No justice. No peace. No justice. No peace. No justice. No peace. On the other side of this building there are a couple hundred protesters. Thats been the main message. They want to see the officers who have been fired, they want them to face some sort of criminal prosecution. Black lives matter is about one thing, stop killing black people just because you pulled them over for a Parking Violation or moving violation. I dont think weve had an era in American History where youve had this many white people saying, yeah, black lives do matter. This movement is not going to stop any time soon. Were marching on all the way to november 3rd. We will put joe biden in office and well see what the democrats will do. Joe bidens campaign looking all but done, then jim clyburn changed everything. South carolina should be voting for joe biden. Thank you, thank you, thank you South Carolina biden has a known brand particularly to those who handed it to him, which are black voters. The democratic president ial ticket is set tonight. Joe biden choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate and in doing so, making history. What so Many Americans saw tonight was something theyve never seen before, a woman and a woman of color taking the stage and preparing to serve as the second most powerful person in the country. While i may be the first woman in this office, i will not be the last. The Africanamerican Community stood up again for me. You always had my back and ill have yours. My mind is on the voters in georgia. On tuesday theyll vote in a Runoff Election that no only will determine who will represent them in the senate, but also who controls the Balance Of Power in the senate. Warnock, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, will become the first black senator from georgia. A democrat won the Georgia State election because of the work and determination of people like stacey abrams. We stopped hiding from the people we were trying to serve, and we actually talked to them. More importantly, we asked how can we help. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our live coverage of the inauguration of joseph r. Biden, jr. As the 46th president of the United States. The new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is only light if only were brave enough to see it. If only were brave enough to be it. I Kamala Harris do solemnly swear we saw the first black woman, first asianamerican woman, first woman, period, Vice President do the walk, get sworn in, do all that great stuff. We saw joe biden who lived his whole life for this moment. This was the Culture Answering what we saw On January 6th, and it was a beautiful answer.

I wanted to call you up and say congratulations, youre going to the super bowl. Just wanted to congratulate you and thank you for all of the work you have been doing for us.

And then susan wilson got Super Bowl Tickets and its honoring Health Care Workers for their work during the pandemic and it still continues, and we are happy to have Katherine Wilson and amy tally with us this morning. Amy, this is your first Football Game period. Nfl football, yes. Youre going big. Im going big. You got that voicemail on top that you got to chat it up with marcus lawrence, and what was going through your head when all of this was happening . I dont know i mean, i was at a loss for words. So much excitement, i couldnt even believe it. Katherine, talk to us about how you learned you were heading to the game and what was going through your mind . I got a phone call and email and it said i won tickets to the super bowl and i said, are you serious, i think, six times, because i thought it was a prank. I am very excited. Tell me, are you there solo . How does that work . I know they dont have a lot of tickets for people and there will be cardboard cutouts, so are you riding solo in tampa right now . Yes. Well, i did bring my husband to tampa with me, i brought him with me but im going to the game by myself. What are you looking forward to most . We mentioned this was your first Football Game, and you dont know what a super bowl looks like for more than two decades, what are you most looking forward to the shade at this hour. I would like to see sunshine today, but most of all i would like to meet Patrick Mahomes if i got the opportunity to see the Kansas City Chiefs win. What does it mean for you, katherine, to be a Frontline Worker that has seen a lot of tragedy in the pandemic and be able to take a little bit of a breath and feel a sense of normalcy . I cant explain how much it was needed. We have been working super hard, 24 7 in the Emergency Room and i cant do what i do without the people i work with and i wish i could take everybody with me, we all deserve a break, so its awesome to be here. Amy, in the meantime, we were showing video earlier from tmz, a big party with a famous deejay, and there was no masks visible and no Social Distancing. When you see images like that knowing this is part of this and a lot of people will be out partying and having the experience you have, what do you think . It is scary to know that people are still out there not doing the proper Social Distancing, but, i dont know, i just feel like we actually did drive downtown to go and see a little bit but we did not get out and get involved because of the reason people were not Social Distancing and wearing proper masks. Its just a shame. Its a shame . It is. Katherine, i think you mentioned, because your team, your home team is the cleveland browns, so i am sure cleveland going far into the playoffs this year, you guys are not bitter at all and you are just happy for a good game . You know, we are pretty bitter in cleveland, i cannot lie. I think it will amp us up for the coming season and it will probably be crazy. You are rooting for . The buccaneers today. Thank you both, really not only for coming on with us this morning but for all of the work you both have done throughout the pandemic. Hope you both have a great time and really just take in the moment and enjoy it. Amy, i have no doubt the Dallas Cowboys will be there one of these decades. I love the cowboys. Do you want them to come back and talk to us yeah, right, sorry. I love the cowboys. That will do it for us. How cute is that . So deserving. Who do you have for the games . The chips. I have no doubt there will be snow around game time as there already is, and look at washington, d. C. As we say goodbye on this saturday morning. Velshi is next. Good morning. Its sunday, february 7th. I am ali velshi. There are two days until the second Impeachment Trial of the failed former president of the United States for incitement of insurrection, and within the next two weeks joe biden and Congressional Democrats are expected to put together a massive 1. 9 trillion covid19 Relief Package, named the American Rescue plan helping to rescue americans during the disastrous pandemic, and cant come soon enough. Not only are there ten million fewer jobs than a year ago and not only are jobless claims at levels never seen before the pandemic, but 40 of jobless americans in january were longterm unemployed, meaning they have been out of work for longer than six months and that dates back to the summer nearing a record set at the peak of the great recession. Daily new covid cases continue to be in the 100,000s, and more than 300,000 are dying every day from the disease representing pain and suffering for millions of americans across the country, more than 27 million americans
