Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected president and Vice President of the United States. Each for the term beginning on the 20th day of january, 2021. So even after the president sent the mob, the insurrecti insurrectionists to take over the capitol, there were republican members of congress who voted to overturn the result of the election. U. S. Senator who s who voted to overturn the results of the election. Look at all of this . Look at the results of those votes, those actions, and the president s words. And we should note that because of all of this, because of what the president said, because of what these people did, four people, four people are dead today after all of this. Look at their faces, john. Look at the faces and the sounds and the actions of the people wearing the maga hats, of the people that the senators wanted to align themselves with. These are the americans that they decided to align themselves with yesterday. Moments after president elect and bidens victory was certified by congress, President Trump appeared to concede defeat, pledging in a brief statement that, quote, there will be an orderly transition of power on january 20th. But its too late. Trump already incited thousands of his violent supporters to rise up and overthrow the election. Inside sources tell cnn that during this deadly insurrection, the president was, quote, borderline enthusiastic about the attempted coup. And did not want to condemn his supporters. Thats how sociopaths feel and think. That sad truth came into stark focus yesterday, that President Trump is unfit and unwell. So can america endure 13 more days of the Trump Presidency. Sources tell cnn that there are preliminary discussions among his own cabinet members about invoking the 25th amendment to remove trump from power. This morning, we are hearing the harrowing stories from lawmakers who were inside there, what they endured during this insurrection. And how did this massive Security Breach happen. Why wasnt the National Guard dispatched sooner . We have reporters all over washington covering every single angle. Lets begin with lauren fox. She is live on capitol hill and we know you were there, lauren, for this yesterday. Thats right, alisyn. Look, after a very chaotic, a scary, a terrifying day on capitol hill, lawmakers got back in the chamber last night, so i could tell you that after all of the votes cast last night, joe biden will be the next president of the United States. Nothing about yesterday is going to change that fact. And that was the message that lawmakers wanted to send. Look, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, republican, democrats, they are frustrated. They are exasperated. They are tired of what President Trump has done. These are just a few of the members who spoke last night on the floor of both the house and the senate. The best way we can show respect for the voters who were upset is by telling them the trut truth. Trump and i, weve had a hell of a journey. I hate it being this way. Oh, my god, i hate it. All i can say is count me out, enough is enough. Look at the damage that was wrought in this house today, to this country today. Is that not enough . And lawmakers still had to vote on two state objections. There were seven republican senators who voted to support the objection to the state of pennsylvania. And im going to read them. Senator ted cruz, josh hawley, cynthia lummis, roger marshal, rick scott, tommy tubberville, and cindy hydesmith. All of those lawmakers, after the day they had yesterday on capitol hill, still voted to support overturning the Election Results in the state of pennsylvania. And look, senator john thune, the majority whip in the United States senate, he said last night as he was leaving, it was absolutely time for the Republican Party to move on from donald trump. He said, quote, weve got to get back to where the party is built around a set of ideals, principles, and policies. Alisyn . Shame on them. Shame on those senators. They sided with domestic terrorists yesterday. And we wont forget it. And im very glad that you read their names, lauren. Thank you very much. President trump is now vowing an orderly transition of power on january 20th, when president elect joe biden will be sworn in, but this is only after weeks of fueling and inciting the deadly insurrection at the u. S. Capitol and his damage is already done. Cnn joe johns is live at the white house. Whats happening, joe . Good morning, alisyn. The president certainly waited as long as possible before he put out this statement and he put it out right after the Electoral College vote up on capitol hill in the very early hours of the morning. It was the closest thing the president has put out to a concession speech, but it wasnt a concession, it wasnt a speech, it was about two paragraphs long. It was on the twitter account of dan scavino, who is his social media director. Here is that statement. Even though i totally disagree with the outcome of the election and the facts bear me out, nevertheless, there will be an orderly transition on january 20th. Ive always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in a president ial history, its only the beginning of our fight to make America Great again. Of course, one of the things you have to say is that this last 24 hours have been some of the worst 24 hours in the history of the american presidency, especially because the president essentially incited a riot up on capitol hill. And for that reason, a lot of people here in washington, even in his own administration, are taking a good, hard look, at the 25th amendment, which essentially allows the people in the cabinet to vote in order to turn the powers of the presidency over to the Vice President. Of course, its never been used in history before. That, of course, is another reason why it might not happen. Others up on capitol hill have said they ought to take a second run at impeachment of the president , only this time remove him from office, only though theyre only two weeks to go in this administration. Have that are unlikely, were told. Back to you. You can see what happens in one day. We saw what happened in just one day yesterday. The question, the fair question is, can america stand 13 more days of this . Four americans are dead after what happened yesterday, after the mob that the president told to march over to the capitol. After he told them to go over to the capitol and then they did this. This morning, were learning new details about what happened, how this Security Breach happened. How these people got into the capitol and into both chambers of congress. Cnns boris chansanchez lye out the capitol with the very latest. Boris . Good morning, john. Capitol hill has not seen this kind of violence in more than 200 years, since 1814, when the british basically broke through the doors entering capitol hill. Yesterday, it was Trump Supporters defiling and dishonoring the largest monument, the largest symbol that we have to american democracy, egged on by the president s lies and incendiary rhetoric. Chaos unfolding on capitol hill, as a protrump mob launched a deadly assault, right at the heart of american democracy, while lawmakers prepared to confirm president elect joe bid bidens victory. The rioters storming into the halls of congress, even breaking into legislative chambers. Police evacuating the house floor and Vice President mike pence, who was there for counting electoral votes. Armed authorities blocking the doors, while lawmakers and their staff went into lockdown. I was there on the floor in the gallery, literally laying on the floor behind a wall, as these people were storming into our chamber. And it was frightening. This attempted coup after thousands of President Trump supporters rallied near the white House Wednesday morning, denying his election loss. Stand up and fight stand up and hold your representatives accountable if were wrong, we will be made fools of. But if were right, a lot of them will go to jail so lets have trial by combat the president demanding republican lawmakers and even pence overturn his loss before giving this charge to supporters. Were going to the capitol and were going to try to give the democrats are hopeless. Theyre never voting for anything. Not even one vote. But were going to try to give our republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones dont need any of our help. Reporter the mob following trumps lead, climbing the walls of the capitol, breaking down doors, shattering glass, and charging into the halls of congress, barreling past Capitol Police. One rioter even carrying a confederate flag. Another going into the empty Senate Chamber and declaring trump won. This man posing for a photo after breaking into House Speaker pelosis office, along with an ominous message. Others, vandalizing her office. Hes got a gun reporter the insurrection leaving four people dead this morning, including one woman seen here carried on a stretcher, shot and killed inside the capitol by police. Authorities arresting at least 52 people wednesday and finding several weapons. Additionally, two pipe bombs have been recovered. One pipe bomb from the dnc, another pipe bomb from the rnc, a cooler from a vehicle with a long gun in it that also included molotov cocktails. This also was on the grounds of the United States capitol. Reporter biden calling on trump to tell his supporters to back down. This is not dissent. Its disorder. Its chaos. It borders on sedition and it must end now. I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward. Reporter trump later posting this to twitter, starting with lies about his election loss to biden and ending with this message to supporters. Go home. We love you. Youre very special. Reporter lawmakers returning to finish the job before ultimately voting to certify bidens election. We will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation. We are back at our posts. We will discharge our duty under the constitution. Reporter Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer linking attempted coup to trumps actions. These were rioters and advectii insurrectioni insurrectionists, goons and thugs, domestic terrorists. Todays events did not happen spontaneously. Todays mob was in part trumps doing. Incited by his words and lies. This violence in good part his responsibility, his everlasting shame. Reporter and john, a much quieter scene as the sun rises on the nations capitol. There is a pretty large perimeter set up around capitol hill. A sizable National Guard presence, as well as Capitol Hill Police and local Law Enforcement, as well. I suspect that when theres a review of everything that happened yesterday, theres going to be a lot to answer as to why there wasnt more Law Enforcement in place, why more preparations werent made. As you well know, the president had been egging on his supporters for weeks with false claims about the election being stolen from him on twitter. This was an enormous crowd that was expected on hand yesterday, so why wasnt more done . And why does the president continue to instigate online, telling these terrorists that theyre special and that he loves them . John . Even this morning, boris sanchez, thanks so much for being there. Joining us now, cnn political analyst, maggie haberman. Shes a White House Correspondent for the new york times. Cnn political analyst David Gregory. Also with us, charles ramsey, the former police chief in washington, d. C. In his statement this morning, President Trump continued to spread the lunatic, dangerous lies about the election. The lies that have incited the types of violence we saw, the insurrection at the capitol yesterday. He told the mob to walk to the capitol yesterday, so it raises the very serious question, is america safe for the next 13 days with him in office . Cnns reporting is, there are discussions among some cabinet members about invoking the 25th amendment. The tulsa world is reporting a conversation that mike pence had with senator jim inhofe, where inhofe says, quote, ive never seen pence as angry as he was. I had a long conversation with him, he said, after all the things ive done for trump. It would take Vice President ial signoff to invoke the 25th amendment. Weve seen resignations overnight from senior staff at the white house. What is going on there this morning . What was going on yesterday. The president is in bunker mode. He is talking to extremely few people. Those who have talked to him have described the conversations as not productive, to put it mildly. He is absolutely convinced that he was wronged. They had worked out this statement that he put out overnight, several hours before the vote was certified. They knew they were going to put this out, their plan was to put this out. And in this statement that the president put out, he says that he will there will be an orderly transition of power, orderly transfer of power on january 20th, but what people are concerned about are the days between now and then. So there are these conversations among staff and these people on capitol hill to be about the 25th amendment. To be clear, i dont think it will happen, but it reflects the concern about what could happen over the next 13 days, what the president could do. That statement, while its important that he put it out, he is very capable and has in the past undermined his own statements with tweets or other things hes said. So we see. Number two, theyre concerned about insurrections popping up around the country, especially because the president is so incredibly cued into his supporters. His twitter is feed monitored for clues about his supporters about how to react and how to respond. The president , as we know, ban ordinary at least said he is not welcomed back to the white house, of marc short, pences chief of staff, who he is blaming for the fact that pence did not go along with the president s plan or hope to subvert the Electoral College outcome in favor of joe biden. Thats where we are, well see how many more resignations we are, but i have a feeling more are coming. Commissioner ramsey, you saw yesterday a major, major security failure. And also a major failure of leadership as it relates to the u. S. Capitol police that are responsible for guarding the u. S. Capitol. Things are going to intensify over the next 13 days. And we have january 20th that we have to get passed. And the security there is going to be very heavy, very tight, but im very concerned. Yesterday should never have happened. They were totally unprepared to deal with the crowds. And why was that, commissioner . Do you have any insight into they knew that there were protesters i guess they thought at the time they were protesters, but they knew that they could be ginned up and were being ginned up by the president and his enablers. So this wasnt a secret that people were coming from around the country to the capitol. How were they able to breach the Capitol Building . Theres no excuse for it, alisyn. Absolutely no excuse at all. They should have had enough people on the capitol grounds. The u. S. Capitol police have about 2,000 Police Officers. They guard the building, the capitol itself, as well as the house and Senate Office buildings. But they also have agreements in place where they can bring in the metropolitan police, they can bring in Police Agencies from maryland and virginia to help them. Obviously, the National Guard i mean, there were enough people that they could have brought in, that they couldnt have prevented this from ever occurring. You remember now, in the black lives matter march, you saw images of Police Officers on the steps of the capitol, i mean, on several steps of the capitol i mean, there were a couple of hundred of them on the steps of the capitol. You didnt see any of that yesterday. The intel was there. It was open Source Information that was there. These rightwing groups that made it very clear that they were going to be there. I mean, everything was in place. I mean, we always monitored the hotel reservations, shortterm rental reservations, bus rentals to kind of get a sense of how many people are going to come to the district. All of that is there. How can you be possibly caught offguard . I dont get it . It seems like a choice. Look, its reasonable to ask whether it was a choice to treat these protesters, these Trump Supporters differently than you treat black lives matter protesters. People who were on the streets over the summer. And david, as we sit here this morning, what strikes me as the immediate concern is the inspirational leader of the insurrectionist is sitting in the white house this morning. The person who inspired them to commit these acts still has an awful lot of power at his disposal. And there are members of the u. S. Congress, six or seven senators, more than a hundred members of the u. S. House, who continued to use their political strength to support these ideas. Yes they and he, of course, have been engaged in this big lie that has contaminated the ground water of our political discourse so that otherwise serious people are talking about the need to change election laws when this was a very successful election during a pandemic. The big lie. And of course, these this mob, the
