The inauguration. But federal officials are saying there is no direct evidence right now that lawmakers directly are under threat. Some good news there. Steve harrigan is here, hi, steve. Gillian, well give you a look at what its like im on 17th and h. Its ordinary will i ordinarily a busy intersection, six lanes this way and four this way. If you look either way, you see nothing. This part of the city is entirely shut off. Theres some buildings boarded up and thats really the only sound you hear are hammers, nails, people boarding up buildings with plywood. Theres all kind of barricades set up. Physical barricades, cars, dump trucks and fencing. The closer you get to the white house the closer you get to the capitol, the fences get higher and razor wire comes out. You mentioned the numbers up from 21,000 to 25,000 National Guard, so there will be more National Guard here than troops in afghanistan and iraq combined. And probably more National Guard on the street here than there will be watching the inauguration. The d. C. Mayor told people to stay home and people are staying home. You really get the feeling of a ghost town here. I can see a drone above me, its not just the secret service taking the lead here, but tsa and customs and Border Protection. Theyre getting some of that video back in realtime. You know, someone asked how safe it is, it hard to imagine a safer place right now, it feels like things are totally shut down. This is an overwhelming show of force after the events of january 6th, so, theres a sense that, you know, this is completely locked down to ensure that theres going to be a safe inauguration in the days ahead, gillian. Griff steve, just a quick question and thank you to your cameraman for amazing 360 views there. Because youve been in them and i have, too, not to make too much of a comparison to war, but really the security footing youre seeing there, how does it compare to what youve seen in the past . Well, were seeing some of the similar barriers with the fencing weve seen sometimes in war zones and keep in mind, the secret service has called part of d. C. A green zone. Green zone is of course the term that was used in baghdad for section of the city that was really sealed off with glass walls to try and keep u. S. Officials safe in baghdad while a real war was waging outside, but i think the term is the same, green zone, but the feeling is very different. I mean, theres people out with their kids walking and people on bicycles, this does not feel like a war zone. This looks like people are taking over step possible to make sure things are safe. This is a show of force to try and make sure nothing bad happens in the days ahead. Gillian all right, Steve Harrigan, thank you for joining us from washington. Well check back with you in the next hour. Thanks. So, griff, it looks like, you know, as we move through this day today, i will say were getting the show of force, seems to be effective so far. Federal officials are now saying, lawmakers are going to be safe. We had the deputy dhs secretary Ken Cuccinelli say that americans can carry on throughout their day and country and state capitols are under siege like in florida and virginia. Griff as steve was pointing out, the security perimeter are things weve seen in war zones, but the scene doesnt feel like a war. Some of it is deterrent and some is based on credible intelligence threats. Meantime, senator Lindsey Graham saying that the fbi probe is most corrupt of history, releasing from the inquiry with more. President trump long said he felt he was unfairly targeted as a result of the russia probe and as you were talking about now were hearing from senator Lindsey Graham chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee releasing 11 transcripts from interviews that the senate did looking into the origins of the russian probe and goes to cross fire hurricane, and whether parts of President Trumps staff. Arguing that the department relied too heavily on unverified intelligence to justify spying on the campaign. Senator graham put out a statement yesterday saying, quote, i believe that cross fire hurricane was one. Most incompetent and corrupt investigations in the history of the fbi and doj. Former fbi director james comey, he has defended the bureaus work telling Congress Last year there were some missteps, but overall done by the book. Were hearing from senator Dianne Feinstein also on the judiciary committee. More than four years passed since the fbi opened cross fire hurricane and multiple investigations including a separate spra bipartisan investigation by the Intelligence Committee confirmed the fbis actions were justified. Its time to turn the page on cross fire hurricane and President Trumps false claims about it. Whats unclear is whats going to happen to john durhams probe thats ongoing. The president said he would like to see something happen months ago, but its been unclear what kind of timeline that john durham has been operating under as he continues to look into the origins of the probe as well. Unclear whats going to happen once joe biden gets sworn in on wednesday. As for President Trump, hes here at the white house today. Theyve called a lid so were not going to see the president on camera. Were expecting to see him leave washington on wednesday and he and the first lady some sort of event at joint base andrews before he takes the trip to florida. Griff Mark Meredith at the white house, thank you very much. George papadopoulos sent me this statement where he says this, quote, today is just the first batch of declassified documents. The obama interesting and fbi who worked in tandem to launch a baseless and illicit investigation into a campaign tarnished the fbi and arguably was the greatest single political trick in modern American History with wide ranging impact on both the midterms and 2020 election. I expect the new documents to be released to highlight the foreign involvement, spying on the campaign and those behind it. Papadopoulos of course, pled guilty in 2017 of lying over his his contact with the fbi and pardoned. Gillian joining us with a whole lot more is senator from pennsylvania, bob casey. He was at the capitol on january 6th. Thanks, sir, for taking time for us on this inauguration weekend. We really appreciate it. How are you feeling after the events of last week . Are you okay . Oh, im fine. Weve fortunately had great protection when the assault was underway, but its still hard to comprehend and i didnt know this, i dont think any of us knew it in the hours after the attack, how close members of congress were to potentially either being killed or captured or injured in some way, and the new evidence about vicepresident pence, how close he came by one report a minute away from some kind of confrontation with these domestic terrorists and its chilling to learn more and more how close the governing party of President Trump came to real danger. And it warrants an investigation of all aspects. I have to say this in light of your earlier reporting, im confident that the capitol and the inauguration will be secure. Gillian well, it certainly appears that way driving through the streets of washington d. C. Today. Sir, i want to switch gears with you for a second. We just heard a report from weekend correspondent Mark Meredith about this sort of tranche of documents released by the Senate Judiciary committee yesterday involving the origins of the russian probe that looked at the trump campaigns alleged ties to russian government officials. Take a look at what Lindsey Graham said when he put out this release yesterday. He said the fisa court was lied to, exculpatory information was withhold. The leadership under comey or mccabe was grows grossly incompetent or they allowed misdeeds. Whats your assessment of the situation, senator . Well, i havent reviewed those documents, im not a member of the judiciary committee. I think the review of those documents will take place, but i think there are a couple of facts i think we have to put in context. Number one, its irrefutable, the russian government interfered in the 2016 election. The president at the time welcomed that. Number three, if you consider what he said at helsinki where he threw the Intelligence Committee under the bus because Vladimir Putin was on the same page, and didnt have fortitude time after time and just as we came to the last year, beginning of this year, terrible russian act of 250 combination of Government Agencies and businesses, that i hope, that act, how it happened, i hope will be the subject not only of the judiciary committee, members of both parties, but other Government Agencies as well. When you allow someone like putin to do pretty much whatever the hell he wants, thats what happens. Gillian sir, one thing thats been brought to light by the ongoing investigations on capitol hill and the department of justice into the origins of this russian probe are the mishandling of the warrant process by the fisa court, by the intelligence community. Do you have confidence that moving forward those ills are going to be righted so were not going to have americans, Campaign Officials essentially spied on going into the future . Forget politics, theres civil rights issues here . Theres no question, when someone makes an allegation as senator graham has a number of allegations, those allegations have to be tested against the facts. But look, theres just no question about it that russia and Vladimir Putin in particular was allowed to do things that in the last couple of years that he was not allowed to do when president obama was the good news is joe biden is president , has made it very clear to Vladimir Putin and other tyrants around the world that hes not going to tolerate that kind of conduct where they attack our systems, even if we were able to stop the hacking of an American Election this year sir, looking ahead a little bit here, so, obviously, the house has now impeached President Trump for the second time and the impeachment ball squarely in the senates court. What do you want your colleagues to do Going Forward . Do you want them to take up the plan that is sort of currently on the table as i understand it, which is to start some kind of impeachment hearing process and then a trial after january 20th . I dont know when it will stat start and thats going to have to be a determination made by incoming majority leader schumer and senator mcconnell together to work out the mechanics, but i dont think this should take more than a couple of days because its a much simpler question. We know the evidence is all over about the president s conduct, his statements leading up to january 6th, on january 6th and the statements in the aftermath which are pretty, i think pretty indicative of his state of mind and his failure to finally put to rest the lie that he was perpetuating about the election, the lie. Well, sir. The lie led to this violence and i think that the evidence for a trial record is going to be pretty clear. Gillian okay, sir, the last time we went through the impeachment process, there were weeks of interviews with senate and house officials, there were impeachment hearings that went on for the better part of a week and then everybody deliberated. Some of the criticism here about impeaching the president the second time from constitutional scholars is that this is a snap impeachment process, sort of undercuts what the founders wanted to see with this process, to be deliberative, is a couple of days really enough time to do that . I think it is based upon the evidence that we have. The evidence here is overwhelming, its on the public record. Every day that goes by theres more evidence of how close these individuals came to bringing harm to government officials. To overturn the results of an American Election based upon a total premeditated lie, a falsehood about the election, and republican in officials in washington lying about my state, over and over again, there has to be a sanction for that and i think there are a lot of american officials in both parties that believed that the president , based upon his conduct over the last couple of months is a danger to national security. Thats why the house acted quickly, they all right, well. I think the trial can be conducted thoroughly, but expeditiously. Gillian lets hope that youre right there and that everybody gets their due time to make their case. Senator bob casey, thanks for making time for us today, we appreciate it. Good to be with you. Gillian you bet. Griff. Griff thanks, gillian. More than 1,000 migrants are now making their way toward the u. S. Southern border in a caravan which departed honduras earlier this week. This, of course, comes just ahead of president elect joe bidens inauguration. And as biden promises to undo several Key Trump Administration immigration policies. Joining us now to talk all about it, acting u. S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner, mark morgan. Mr. Commissioner, thank you very much. Let me first get your reaction, im assuming you guys at cbb are tracking a new caravan . Griff, we are and we have been and griff, this is something that weve been saying for a long time now. With a new Administration Immigration strategies which really are akin to open border strategies, we knew this was going to come and its already happened. And griff, its not just a thousand, right now were looking at two groups that are well over 5,000, and one of those groups have already gotten through the guatemala border and theyre on their way to el ranch other located centrally in guatemala. Its coming, its already started just as we promised and anticipated it would with this rhetoric from the new administration on the border. Griff you mentioned the new administration, mr. Commissioner. Let me show you the group, the spokesman now who represented these caravans in the past and they assist the migrant groups, issues a statement to fox news that simply says in part, we will advocate that the biden government honors its commitments, a new United States government is an opportunity to work with the Mexican Government to develop cooperation plan with Central America with the Civil Society organizations as well as an opportunity to increase Regional Cooperation regarding the persons in need protection in this part, particularly to dismantle illegal and inhumane programs like remain in the mexico. We know that remain in mexico is one of the things that the new Biden Administration seek to get rid of. What impact would that have . It would be detrimental, mpp ended catch and release. Cvp alone in 2019 we had to because of the broken immigration policy police over 230,000 Illegal Immigrants in the United States, never to be heard from again. Because of mpp in 2020 that was less than a thousand. Look, in that statement, griff, its very important because not only does this individual whos organizing these caravans, illegal caravans, he mentions a biden immigration. The immigrants and people are using whatsapp, they say and using their words. The American People should be very concerned about whats going to come. As the outgoing commissioner what advice do you have to successors particularly in the era of covid . Look, listen to the experts. Just like President Trump, and this is not a political statement, griff, this president and this administration went to border, they listened to the experts and asked them about the tools and what they needed the tools and the policies to safeguard our borders and to protect American People. This president listened. The new Administration Needs to do the exact same thing, especially with covid right now. Title 42 effective containment and saved countless american lives. Listen to the experts on the border. Griff looking forward to the next administration, lets talk about some things under the biden plan, namely the daca program and the wall. The 450 miles of wall youve built, theres still funding for more, but it doesnt look like this administration will deliver on that. Thats right. You know, president elect biden has said, quote, im not going to build another foot of wall. First of all, thats going to cost thousands of jobs of workers down there. Its going to cost the taxpayers billions of dollars to stop the construction. Think about it, right now we have 270,000 tons of steel that have already been produced and we have to pay the contractors for that, we are going to have to pay more money to destroy it. Its ridiculous and not to mention its taking away an essential tool experts say they need and the poles alone, griff, what those policies are going to do, one, its going to release people into the United States. Protect them from lawful deportation and once they remain here illegally theyll reward them with amnesty and free health care, who wouldnt come under those conditions. Griff i want to give you a minute to Say Something about the men and women who work under you. I
