and we consultation which we haven't heard at all in the 4 year is that he's been in office healing and reconciliation on the contrary this has been a president who was has sought to to disunite i mean has sought to create division among americans and hearing those words of healing and reconciliation from him is quite significant in 4 years as it is president and the fact that it comes now when he's facing his biggest crisis of his presidency and this is a president that has faced many many big crisis is this is the biggest 13 days before he leaves office just shows you how how he really hung on for his long as he could doing things quote unquote his way and i think he just finally realized that this message at this moment had to be given i think we're going to find out in the coming hours and days what convinced one of the democrats main goal see what are their intentions and doings. it is still feasible because that's a process that would be initiated by nancy pelosi and she says that she's prepared

to do that the question now is going to be within the democratic party given this message from donald trump essential he conceding here do they feel now that they can accept this message i'm talking about the democrats and sort of let him play out the next up until now if he was planning to attend. president elect joe biden's inauguration vice president mike pence said that he would or we got reporting that he was intending to but we don't even know if donald trump would so i think now that trump has essentially conceded this i think will not so the question becomes what do republicans do moving forward and they are in a tough spot quite frankly because you're right donald trump got more votes than any other sitting president in history including barack obama so he has a lot of fervent supporters throughout the united states in the republican party now is going to have to figure out how they move for rokia and anywhere they could

leaving the rubble on the ground some walked around freely for hours and then when it was all over simply walked out. some protesters were escorted out furious that police. there was tear gas and flash bangs but relatively few arrests $68.00 in all 7 for carrying illegal firearms and other weapons the rest for curfew and unlawful entry violations there were $427.00 over 3 days of black lives matter protests in washington that directly again between whites from his organizations and. that's one of the same breaks the reason why you there is where you don't see the police in sas what they did yesterday was because that was their 1st step not jail home and after a 4 hour siege in the united states symbol of democracy that is what most of them were allowed to do john hendren 0 washington.

well as we mentioned this been quite a lot of discussion about invoking the 25th amendment to the constitution to remove president from so what exactly does it entail the clause was added to the u.s. constitution in 1967 it clarifies the presidential line of say entities of office as acting president a president can get his authority back by objecting inviting if the president and cabinet disagree then congress has 3 weeks to decide the issue. alan baron is a former special impeachment counsel to the u.s. house of representatives he says it's unlikely the 25th amendment will be applied to president trump the 25th amendment is very specific it says it raises the question is the president an able to discharge the powers and duties of this office you know it's been invoked before for example when george w. bush had a colonoscopy and would be under sedation for

a couple of hours the 25th amendment was invoked the vice president took over the position pursuant to the 25th amendment when he came out of. being under. the power of the presidency getting back to what we're dealing with here. we know they hate everything that mr trump has been doing we may object to all of his his policies and his practices but does that mean he's quote i'm able to discharge the powers and duties of his office in my view i don't think that that is misbehavior rises to the level of what the 25th amendment is designed to deal with. trump could have ordered the mission you want to incapacitate if he decided for whatever reason it wasn't appropriate to call them in we can limit we disagree with that but i

question is is it enough to basically remove him from our city very big i don't think that would be 20 that the militants supposed to do if you're just joining us on al-jazeera a quick update of what we've been talking about in the last 30 minutes or so u.s. president donald trump has released a new video on twitter after his account was blocked in which he called for healing envy consolation after yesterday's events on capitol hill which saw thousands of his supporters storm the capitol building at least one person has been killed several others injured and there are lot of questions of course being asked as to how this was able to to go ahead and happen while the president in this video message in a very somber tone called for healing and reconciliation he also said that those we engaged in those acts of violence did not represent in his words our country and

will pay he said that the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol building defile the seeds of american democracy in essence condemning his supporters who burst into the capitol building yesterday and most importantly saying also in this soundbite which was released on twitter a short while ago that he is now focusing on ensuring a smooth transition of power and let's listen now congress has certified the results a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power. this moment calls for healing and reconciliation 2020 has been a challenging time for a people a menacing pandemic has up ended the lives of our citizens isolated millions in their homes damaged our economy and claimed countless lives defeating this pandemic and rebuilding the greatest economy on earth will require all of us working

together it will require a new emphasis on the civic values of patriotism faith charity community and family we must revitalize the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family to the citizens of our country serving as your president has been the honor of my lifetime and to all of my wonderful supporters i know you are disappointed but i also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning when i speak to richard goodstein about all this he's a democratic strategist and was outside advisor to the clinton white house or in the 1999 in peace metron his wife from washington very good to have you again on al-jazeera what do you make of what we've heard from president trump quite significant he's not calling for healing and the consolation condemning his supporters most on the capitol building what is your reaction to this. donald

trump thinks that we are all as stupid as he is look. we heard him 24 hours ago say we love you i love you about these people that he had seen on live television ransacking the citadel of the us democracy the u.s. capitol building when he talks about you know we've never heard him speak extemporaneously when he's not speaking from a teleprompter these very sweet sentiments expressed in this twitter piece never we know this is not the real donald trump and he thinks we're stupid enough to think that it might be it's utterly insincere why he rudy giuliani and his son all urged these people on and can't take it back so what do you think convinced him or who might have convinced him to go ahead to and make this video i'm sure all

this talk about the 25th amendment and being impeached got his attention. and i agree with alan baron on one respect i don't think we have time to invoke the 25th amendment i do however think that it keeps mitt is not at all inappropriate i mean he was perfectly happy trying to rush through a supreme court nominee in record time there's no reason we couldn't rush through an impeachment and it having the president i'd states urge on people to sack the u.s. capitol is not impeachable then nothing is but in this video i mean his calling for healing and reconciliation he says is now focused on ensuring a smooth transition of power and they almost sounds like he's accepted now that he is not going to be president anymore come january 20th do you think this could be not perhaps for democrats to not go ahead with these. proceedings and their different challenges to try to remove him from office in the next 2 weeks. you know because they were the ones cowering in fear when the people that trump unleashed

were putting their lives in jeopardy yesterday so some sweet words that obviously on coming from donald trump's heart is not going to be enough to satisfy democrats and i hope frankly most independents and republicans they're not that stupid either so no sweet words from donald trump are going to satisfy anybody we know him at this point we saw what happened yesterday this is not sincere and nobody takes him seriously he lies about everything this is another lie well i mean what is the democrats. to many i mean he's going to be out of office on january 20th anyway why why go ahead with impeachment what what what are they trying to achieve in the long term to establish a precedent that if a president states look yesterday was the most significant attack on the united states since $911.00 the difference was on $911.00 osama bin laden was the organizer of the attack yesterday it was donald trump and of having

a president organize an attack or incite people to attack the u.s. capitol is not impeachable no matter how many days are left then nothing will be so it's pretty simple it's saying this is unacceptable no matter how much time is left in your presidency and honestly having a 2nd impeachment his record is very fitting i think it yesterday cemented his standing as the single worst us president ever but he doesn't sound from that video message it doesn't sound like he you know he's going to go away he said to his supporters and i called journey together is only beginning clearly he has no intentions of of disappearing from from the political scene i believe. we mean well what do you see what do you see happening past january 20th i mean will republicans you think continue to support him. well i think that's the question of the year and my answer to that is look at the 130 house republicans who voted as trump as

banerjee to subvert u.s. democracy last night to have their view overturn the will of the voters so yes i agree they were fearful that they could get on the wrong side of donald trump and he would encourage a primary somebody to primary them when they're up for reelection in 2 years so yes i don't think donald trump is going anywhere but but they get the images that yes they look the windows and doors of u.s. capitol be repaired in short order the image of the united states and a capitol under attack by the president's supporters with the flags and the had that won't go away for years and that will be hung around donald trump's necks and frankly having a 2nd to pietschmann wouldn't be a bad thing to hang around his neck either no matter what he decides to do politically so i mean it now 2 weeks to go he says in his statement he said it sounded i mean when when i say he conceded finally but it sounds like he's saying i will go for donald trump to say this to admit finally

that is not going to be there on january 20th that he's going to ensure a smooth transition of power it is quite an important moment wouldn't you agree even if you don't think he's being sincere he's saying it. we've known for weeks that he knew he was on the way out his wife was looking for schools for their son in florida he was issuing pardons and clemency to people the kind of thing you do in your last days it was obvious he knew he was on his way out so the fact that he said that he still can't bring himself to say that biden won and he trump lost it shameful and to say now 12 days out we're going to have a peaceful transition as you know the $911.00 commission said that in part the attacks then were were because of the lateness of the bush administration coming in after the florida recount process delayed everything by 37 days the fact that we're now 2 months past election day and the truck still can't say biden won and i lost

and now we're having a peaceful transition that's nonsense so great i don't even he was not going to be president as of noon on january 20th no matter what he chose to do we be an intruder in the white house if he stayed and he wasn't going to do that so again i don't assign weight to what you said you don't assign weight to what i say i know your you very critical of him obviously as we can hear that yet a lot of people will say you're upset and it's not just donald trump i mean anyone who supported donald trump many of his critics would say that anyone who supported donald trump in the last 4 years is complicit in what happened and they shouldn't be just consequences for donald trump but for the g.o.p. and those who supported him as a whole i actually think that what happened yesterday is a huge stain on the republican party we could go through individual by individual but to see trump insight to use this crowd. them going in with the trump flags in

the trump hats and cheering on trump inside the u.s. capitol look the republican party twice nominated this bio human being for president yes i feel pretty strongly about it as you can tell from my remarks and i think this is something those images you're going to see in ads if any trump ever in our lifetime decides to run for office again those ads are going to be run over those images are going to be run over and over to say this is what donald trump what you have done how you've been reelected and never having to face the voters again it would have been frightful and care we take a chance when any other trump or anybody it is a media orbit with that same lack of judgment so yes i do think this will be a big stain on a lot of people in the republican party not just name drop but you guys seen always good to hear your thoughts about all this thank you so much for joining us from washington and giving us your reaction to president donald trump statement on

twitter which was issued just a short while ago in which he condemned the attacks say yesterday on capitol hill saying those engage in acts of violence did not represent our country and won't pay he said the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol defied the sea to american democracy donald trump also in this video message call for healing and reconciliation and says his focus now will be on ensuring a small transition of power so a statement issued a short while ago by the u.s. president will have plenty more reaction and analysis of this throughout the night here on al-jazeera more news coming out very shortly after this short break to stay with us on opposite.
