hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing this big news day with us. it is a history-making week. president donald trump impeached for the second time. when the senate impeachment trial starts, how long it will last, how many republicans will vote to convict, and if the senate can bar president trump from another presidential run, all unknowns this hour. this, though, is certain. the top republican mitch mcconnell holds giant influence here. mcconnell said he will listen to the legal arguments, meaning a

vote to convict is possible. that makes the second public impeachment trial very different. remember, mcconnell was a firm no from the beginning in the first. five or six votes are against the president, but 17 would be needed to reach what's needed for conviction. follow the leader is very much a thing among senate republicans, so mcconnell's choice will very much heavily sway the final math. the president is vexed that his aides and allies, including mitch mcconnell, are not rushing to assist him. the impeachment trial just one of the daunting day one challenges now for the new administration. the coronavirus is raging. the vaccine rollout is behind schedule. just this morning, devastating news from the government, reporting that nearly a million americans filed for first-time unemployment benefits just last week. the president-elect is asking the senate to split its days, taking breaks from the impeachment trial to confirm its

cabinet and to confirm a big new coronavirus economic package. take a look here at the united states capitol. it looks simply foreign this hour. national guardsmen sleeping in the halls as part of intensified security. an empty national mall now on inauguration day is another part of the new security posture. authorities say last week's capitol insurrection is it sparking more planning, targeting the u.s. capitol and state governments as well. president trump refused to speak a week earlier as he watched supporters storm the congress. >> i want to be very clear, i unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement. i can't emphasize that there must be no violence, no lawbreaking and no vandalism of any kind. >> sources telling cnn this morning the president's script had heavy input from white house

lawyers and that it came only after a sobering threat briefing by the secret service and only have con ststant pressures frome aides that the president had to speak out and condemn violence. with us this hour to share their input, phil mattingly, keith and frank zeleny. >> she's close with the leader mitch mcconnell. in murkowski's view, she says the president needs to be held accountable. >> i believe that this president has committed an impeachable offense. i think that is one of the most consequential actions that we should take, and i think that that would be appropriate. >> that's one, phil, and it's pretty easy to get five or six, but it's hard to get to 17 or 18, and almost impossible unless

mitch mcconnell says let's do this. where are we today? >> reporter: i think this is a crucial point, because we saw a couple days ago when liz cheney came out and said she would vote for impeachment when it became clear that the majority leader mitch mcconnell believes that criminality had taken place here. if you learned anything from yesterday's vote where 197 house republicans voted against impeachment, that's not the case, and the president still has very real pull inside the party. i think the dynamics right now are super fluid. in fact, all republican senators, i'm told, hadn't heard a word from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell until the hash vote yesterday. they wanted to get a sense, as you noted. the leader matters an extraordinary amount always, but particularly with this senate republican conference. i think where things stand right

now, senators are waiting to see how things play out. there is one truth, and this is across the board for republican senators who already put out statements opposing impeachment. they are outraged by what occurred, they are outraged by the president's actions, and they believe the president very clearly was culpable for what happened on january 6th. whether or not that gets them to convict the president, that remains an open presquestion, a t that, what the structure of the trial will be and whether it can happen when the administration is ongoing. >> if they are so outraged, they could come out and say so, they could speak out clearly, and if they don't want to impeach, they can do something about it some other way. we know the moving crews are at the white house. we know from our reporting the president essentially had to be pushed by his lawyers saying, sir, you're going to be screwed.

they're looking at what happened at the capitol last week so you better make it clear you do not condone violence, so this was almost forced on the president. one of the big questions is we keep hearing words of pardons, we keep hearing questions of what will he do at a time when most of his staff has disappeared? >> don't discount the damage this has done to his brand and the trump business is really all about brand. it's not entirely clear what he will do. we've been hearing signals about pardons off and on for the last couple of weeks, and it's unclear when exactly it will happen, though we are expecting that there will be more to come. and, you know, the fascinating thing is that while president trump has, in many ways, shrunk from the office in the last two weeks, three weeks, two months since the election, vice president pence is still going through the motions, the kind of motions that you would expect the president of the united states to do, burnishing their

legacy. pence has trips coming up to talk about what the administration has done with the military, for instance. obviously president trump went to the border, but he delivered a speech and it wasn't carried live on tv because all the networks were carrying -- all the cable networks were carrying the justice department briefing about the insurrection at the capitol. >> it is be younyond doubt an o time for the president. i understand the reasons behind this, but we don't see him on social media because he's been banned. even his anger, we don't see that right now. jeff zeleny, i find it fascinating -- look, this is a very difficult time for the president. they want him convicted and they want to push the senate to do that, but now the coronavirus deaths are sobering, the hospitalizations even more so.

people filed for unemployment benefits last week. joe biden wants to get his cabinet in, get his agenda moving. the statement after the impeachment vote last night, it's hard to figure out what he wants. yes, they want to hold the president accountable, yes, they want to do their constitutional duty. he does not say the senate should convict here, he does not say they should move. what does he want? >> john, in a perfect world, he would not have wanted impeachment. he did not support it, he did not oppose it, of course. that would have been very disastrous for his own relationship with his own democratic party. he had to allow congress to see this through. yes, he is outraged as well. he spent a lifetime of his public service in that building, in those halls. yes, it's personal for him, but he's trying to turn the focus to the challenges that lay ahead. that's why he's delivering a speech here this evening, putting it in the evening hours to try to draw more focus on it

to outline his plans for covid relief. that stretches the gamut of americans. also increasing funding for vaccine distribution and trying to get that on track. he's just six days away from ini inn -- inheriting the office. the best-case scenario isn't even that good a scenario if you think about it, splitting the days. half days with impeachment, half days trying to get his nominees and getting his bill through. but one sign of optimism we do see is a scheduling of nomination hearings. the head of the national intelligence committee and a hearing tomorrow as well.

that has moved mitch mcconnell to move forward on the transition here. that is where things stand with him. no, he did not want impeachment. it's just one more thing he has to deal with. >> and part of your duty, phil, and thank goodness you're good at it, is trying to crack the code. yes, mitch mcconnell says he's open-minded but you're left to crack the code of the sphyinx to see what he wants to do. this senator is from north carolina. he says impeachment is a bad idea. listen. >> be careful what you do today. under the theory of the radical left, if you can impeach a president after they're out of office, why don't we impeach george washington? he owned slaves. >> this one is a little different. rob portman is up in the next election in a state leaning more and more republican but still competitive. if the senate conducts an

impeachment trial, what is best to heal our country rather than deepen our division? your first reaction is to say, healing? let's not impeach. but if mitch mcconnell says it's best to impeach the president, senator portman could follow the leader. >> you read it as i read it, the four or five that made it pretty clear they're on board with this or leaning that direction right now. put it up against 2022. president trump is still very, very popular. they have to be cognizant of their political flanks as well. i think the most interesting dynamic, and this is where mcconnell looms so large given who he is, but in a matter of days, he's going to be the most powerful republican in the entire country. those who want to try to move the party away from president trump and feel like there needs to be a concrete moment or

concrete action to make that happen. and whether or not they are willing to split from their activist base, to split from trump supporters in an effort to try and do that. that's where mcconnell is right now. if you've paid close attention in the last five or six weeks, he hasn't been very subtle about it. he's tried to move his conference away. if you listen to his january 6 comments before the attack, that was a big speech. you know better than i do, john, mcconnell is very, very, very unwilling to attack his conference more than anything. splitting his conference is not something he wants to do. he is clearly in that position right now of trying to consider how to move the republican party on from president trump. the biggest thing for his conference right now, particularly those up in 2022, is whether or not they want to go with him on this specific moment. >> calculating the new reality of being in the minority, part

of that as well. tamara, we know the president is mad right now. we know he's mad that mcconnell is not out speaking, saying, we're not going to impeach him. he's mad his own aides are not on television defending him at this moment. normally the president would use his twitter chainsaw to call people out who are being disloyal. doug deucey is a politician. in his tweets this morning, he says, i will not agree with him -- president biden -- on everything, but i will not hesitate to share my views on the public policy issues that matter to arizonans, but i believe president-elect biden is a good man and wants to serve his country. you see them try to get to a better place, but the question is what will the president try to do about it? >> deucey faced consequences

from even being able to certify the election results in his state. so the backlash from trump allies certainly has come. it's really not clear right now how president trump is going to move forward and wield his power in the way that he has in the past. because his power has come from intimidation, from fear of his twitter feed, from members of congress staying in line to avoid his wrath on twitter, avoid him primarying them or getting someone to primary them. he certainly has been urging people -- you know, he was urging the governor of south dakota to primary john thune. but -- but -- it's not clear whether he's really going to put money behind those threats, and it's not clear yet how influential he will be beyond the very core of his base, the kind of people who would show up for a rally. >> one of the giant questions for the next several days, and then, of course, the next several months and the next

cycle. does the president fade away or does he find a way to stage a resurgence. tamara keith, jeff zeleny, phil mattingly, grateful for the reporting. the insurrection at the capitol is now serving as an inspiration for future attack planning.

we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it

with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ unless you're a vip, if you want to see joe biden's inauguration, you just can't. the capitol will be closed on inauguration day, warning the extreme warnings are off the charts. the attack on the capitol last week will likely not be the last.

in fact, that is being cited as an example as they track new attack planning. john, what do we know? >> we're learning that the violent attack on the u.s. capitol last week did not occur in a vacuum. in a new joint intelligence bulletin by the fbi, the department of homeland security obtained by our colleague whitney wile, they indicate that extremists now look to that event last week as motivation. they see that largely as a success, an attack on the u.s. government. intelligence officials are now worried there could be follow-on attacks being motivated by what occurred in washington, d.c. i'll read in part what this intelligence bulletin says. it says the violent breach of the capitol building is very likely part of a trend in which protests, rallies and other gatherings are used to carry out

violent acts and criminal activity. they say they may be inspired to carry out more violence. that concerning law enforcement officials as they try to stop potential threats this weekend, and indeed, surrounding the inauguration. finally, john, it's worth noting so much of what we see in this intelligence bulletin about what may be motivating these violent actors mirrors what we heard from the president of the united states time and again. this bulletin says the extremists are motivated by the idea there is some deep state trying to undermine president trump, also this idea that the 2020 election was stolen. we've heard that time and again from the president. it is that rhetoric that is also motivating some of these extremists, john. >> it's reckless rhetoric coming from a president who should know better. with future attacks, they need to put in jail those responsible.

tell bus it. >> reporter: robert sanford was arrested in pennsylvania. he is seen on video throwing a fire extinguisher at capitol police officers during that attack, striking one officer on his helmet. it ricochetted and hit another officer who was not wearing a helmet. he was arrested by federal agents. this case showing what we've heard time and again from law enforcement since that incident, that these violent actors will be held accountable as they try to find and apprehend those responsible for the attack on the capitol grounds, john. >> appreciate it very much. today a bipartisan effort to honor one of those capitol hill police officers, this one for his incredible grace under pressure. capitol hill police officer eugene goodman lured rioters away from the chamber where lawmakers were taking cover in the middle of the capitol attack. congresswoman nancy mace wants

to award the officer with a me medal, for his bravery and quick thinking. thanks to his valor, we are here today. we are joined next to discuss the security challenge, the coronavirus vaccine rollout, and our place in trump country.

at a time capitol right now is operating under a raised threat level, the fbi warning the biden inauguration is a target for extremist violence and could spiral into episodes of resurrection. it adds to immense pressure, government already overwhelmed dealing with the pandemic. they are not aware of any specific, credible threats, but the united states promises vigilance over the next several days. joining us now, governor jim justice. governor, thank you for joining us. i know it's a busy time. what are the threats, or just be alert just in case? >> john, i certainly hope and pray we're not going to have any threats or any violence. it is a time when we should be celebrating in our nation, and our security people do not feel like there is going to be any violence, and they do not have any credible threats at this point in time, and let's just

hope and pray that it stays that way. >> let's hope and pray it stays that way in west virginia and here in washington. you had a different tone last week. a former member of your legislature had to resign because he took part in the violence at the capitol. you wrote, any part in this attack is absolutely unacceptable. everyone has a right to speak peacefully, but there is no place for this in our country. and donald trump said, these are things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long. i know you have been aligned in the with the in the past.

do you believe he needs to be held in accord in any way? >> john, i would say simply this. the attacks on our nation's capitol were despicable. that's all there is to it. and absolutely, when efforts or frustrations become way over your words, it's not good. it's just plain not good. i know that our president was disappointed, i know that he was really frustrated f. from the standpoint of what's going on with regard to the impeachment, we are a divided nation right now. we should, first and foremost, not be republicans and democrats, we should be americans. i know you hear of so many say that, but i believe it. see, john, really, from my standpoint, i think first and foremost in west virginia, we should be west virginians.

we made tremendous headway and tremendous strides in west virginia. but absolutely not to dodge your question in any way, i wish to goodness this was over. i wish we would just let our president finish four days and go on his way, and we should celebrate our new president, president biden coming in. i've been great friends with the trump family. i hope and pray i'll end up being great friends with the biden family as well. >> i want to talk about west virginia's response to covid, because you deserve a lot of credit right now in terms of the vaccine rollout. i want to talk about that in a moment, but there is conversation around the country, and you know this, what happens with the president after he's gone? does he try to exert party influence? mitch mcconnell says a way to get president trump to stop would be to rid him from the

party. do you believe that? >> john, it's not a dodge in any way, it's simply this. the american people are the ones to judge that, and really and truly, from the standpoint of our president, i'm really hung up on honor and i am hung up on telling the truth all the time. from the standpoint of our president and everything, he did a lot of great things. absolutely, without any question, anybody with a brain would say he's gotten way, way, way past out over his skisrheto don't think that's a decision for me. i think all i can do is weigh in on something and make something worse. this country is way too divided. we don't need to be this. we just don't need to be this. we're too good to be this. >> i wish i shared your confidence that he regretted his rhetoric. our reporting does not suggest

that, but i hope you're right about that in the future. i don't see evidence of that today. let me ask you about the vaccine rollout. if you look at your state numbers here, vaccines have been given to 6100 residents, and the average is 3,000 residents. what have you been doing to get those shots in the arm more quickly? >> john, we've taken a real practical approach, have we not? in west virginia today, just imagine this, in west virginia as of monday, every single vaccine we have received was either in somebody's arm or had a name tagged to it that it was going to be in somebody's arm in the next day or so. this coming sunday, every one of the vaccines that we received yesterday will be in somebody's arm 100%, will be in somebody's arm, and the same thing will

happen next week. and the way we've done it is we've absolutely not gone with the federal model and everything, with the big chain drugstores. we've gone with the local pharmacies, with absolutely pushing from the standpoint of our national guard and our dhhr and all of our people. but the bottom line is just this, that it's as simple as mud. if you can get shots in arms, you're going to save lives. and how in the world we can't see one thing, this is all about age, age and age. and the elderly, the ones that we created in a thing called operation s.o.w., save our wisdom, and absolutely we have done it. little old west virginia, one of the poor states, one of the states where people are spread out all over the place, but we've done it and we've done it repeatedly. first in the nation so many different times. first in the nation to test all the nursing home residents and first in the nation to vaccinate them all. absolutely, john, we can do this, but we don't need to sit

around trying to develop systems or meeting with committees or whatever. we needed to act. we needed to move. and west virginia is pretty dog gone practical with pretty smart people and we got it done. >> props to your team for doing that. s.o.w., save our wisdom. it's a catchy phrase. i hope it catches on in other states. thank you for being here and good luck in the days ahead. up next, joe biden about to unveil his first big initiative. it is a $2 trillion covid stimulus package. we are hoping things will pick up by q3. yeah...uh... doug?

president-elect biden later today announces a major new stimulus package. he does so by the numbers, whether you're looking at the hospitalizations, deaths, fallout. just look at this right now. 245,000 new infections on average a day right now. 245,000 new infections on average across the united states. 3500 is the average daily death toll right now in the u.s., and 130,000 are hospitalized across the country. the vaccine rollout, in a word,

disappointing. 29 million doses distributed across the country, but 10 million in arms. there is a lag time. once you distribute them, why does it take so long to get them into arms? then you look at the fallout and we have more devastation. 4 million of our friends and neighbors unemployed right now. nearly 10 million jobs lost if you go back to february, at the beginning of the pandemic. just this morning the government telling us nearly 1,565,000 filed for unemployment last week. that's disturbing. if you're the president-elect taking office next week, 965,000 new unemployment claims since last week. we know they're backed by

congress with the trump administration in december. 300 dl a week through march, $600 direct payments per eligible adult and independent, and extended benefits for jobless gig workers, i understand president contractors and long-term unemployed. >> reporter: joe biden trying to turn his attention to covid, and he's going to give a speech, as you know, this evening laying out the details of his covid relief package. what cnn is reporting is that biden advisers recently told allies on capitol hill that they could see a total price tag around $2 trillion. that could shift, but it does give a sense of how big a spending relief package they're trying to aim for, and it should

have things like direct payments to families, significant state and local funding including for things like vaccine distribution and other relief measures. keep in mind, john, the stated goal from the biden incoming administration is 100 million vaccine shots in the first 100 days that he is in office. and other reporting that we have just coming today is that there is skepticism and concern from state-level actors as to whether that goal is achievable and what the problems and concerns that they are raising include things like we don't know what these mass vaccination sites biden is talking about will look like. we don't know if there will be vaccine supplies. the question is will there actually be doses to meet this very ambitious goal? there are also issues of funding. there are state and local governments strapped for cash right now, and they don't really know will we have the resources to do something as simple as administering these vaccine doses?

we'll see if the speech biden gives tonight in wilmington will help alleviate those concerns, but there are a lot of outstanding questions right now, john. >> a lot of outstanding questions is the right way to put it. one week from today will be the shift to the biden administration, from team trump to team biden. up next, house republicans wage a family feud now over the second trump impeachment. keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo

in the house among republicans. ten gop lawmakers voted to impeach the president, including the number 3 in the house republican leadership, congresswoman liz cheney. jim jordan and lee zeldenment cheney removed from her leadership post. but the wily congresswoman says she is not going anywhere, and she is defending her vote. >> there is no option other than voting to impeach. it was something that i did with a heavy heart but i did with a real understanding of the seriousness and the gravity of the moment. >> joining us now to discuss, republican strategist alice stewart. alice, what should it be? republicans forgive and forget, or have another vote and liz cheney perhaps gets voted out of the leadership. >> i don't see that happening, john. i think she speaks on mbehalf o all republicans. we do all of this moving forward

with a heavy heart. i happen to agree with her that there has been no bigger betrayal of the country than what the president did, spreading false information and inciting a insurrection at the state capitol. i commend liz cheney for taking the action that she did, in a sense giving cover or in some ways permission to the other nine members of the house to take this bold step to vote for impeachment. the question now is, you know, whether or not she will face consequences. i don't think so. she's pretty confident in what she did and she has the support of the people of her state behind her, and time will tell how this plays out, but the question now is what will happen as this moves over to the u.s. senate? there are lots of senators, republicans and democrats who have concern about what the president did with regard to questioning the integrity of the election, and there are many that were opposed to trying to stop the counting of the electoral votes, and that's been a big issue.

but what they will do with regard to impeachment remains to be seen. there are a lot of arguments on both sides of this, but it will be a difficult decision for the senator as that comes to their floor. >> it will be a difficult decision in the senate, but when it comes to the house, settling their own internal differences, we know the president is mad at kevin mccarthy, we know he's mad at mitch mcconnell. we know he specifically mentioned liz cheney to his vice president at that rally when he was encouraging people to march in that rally. i want you to listen to another one of ten, senator meyer. he also voted to impeach. listen to what he has to do now. >> they were traveling with armed escorts out of fear for their safety. many of us are altering our routines, working to get body armor which is a reimbursable purchase that we can make. it's sad that we have to get to

that point, but our expectation is that someone may try to kill us. >> to listen to that from a member of congress, our expectation is that somebody may try to kill us. buying body armor now a deductible expense for members of congress. what does that tell you? >> it tells us we're in a shameful time for our country, john. and, look, i think what the president said yesterday was good. there should be no violence, no law breaking and no vandalism. the problem is it came about two months too late. and not only do we have members of the house and our elected officials that are having to take extra precautions for security, but all across our nation's capitol, we're doing the same thing. the tone and tenor should have been taken down a notch from the very beginning. there should be no reason to question the integrity of our elections. they were free and fair when he won in 2016, they were free and fair this time. anyone who has a problem with the outcome of the election should speak out in the next

election and not question what happened. look, the president has always been quite vocal with those who don't agree with him and don't support him that he keeps lists. and there is no secret that he is keeping a list, and anyone who speaks out against him will face a primary challenge. but i think moving forward, once the next few steps going forward with regard to the senate, i personally would not be opposed to an impeachment. i know there are a lot of senators who are struggling with that because of the timeline wouldn't allow it when he is in office, but there needs to be consequences for this kind of behavior. there needs to be some kind of action taken against someone who incites an insurrection at the capitol, and there does not need to be consequences for anyone who stands up to this president. >> a clarifying moment is what congressman meyer called his vote to impeach the president. we'll see how this moves forward, how it impacts the community. alice stewart, thank you for your insights this day.
