tips and that includes video and photos. they have arrested and charged more than 40 defendants. an fbi official alded some involved in the mob on january 6en have bth sma-- 6th to turn themselves in, those of you who took part in the violence, you should know every law enforcement agency in the country is looking for you. as a matter of fact, even your friends and family are tipping us off. you might want to consider turning yourself in instead of wondering when we're going to come knocking on your door, because we will. >> now, we are learning from federal documents that some rioters were planning on murdering lawmakers. capture and assassinate congress members.

[ chanting ] >> see right there and hear that. some of these folks on camera chanting "hang mike pence." this came in the middle of the insurrection while the president was actually tweeting criticism of mike pence. details from the "washington post" reveals just how dangerously the mob came to reaching the vice president. had the rioter arrived seconds earlier they would have been in sight of the vice president. federal authorities are continuing to investigate, continuing with arrests of suspects in last week's insurrection. the nation's capitol largely shut down in advance of the inauguration next week and the national mall closed until the day after joe biden becomes president and more than 20,000 national guard troops manning the streets and blocking off roads with military vehicles, and for some perspective on that, that is a bigger u.s. military presence here in this small city, washington, d.c., than in afghanistan, syria and

iraq combined. the final days of trump's presidency have turned downtown washington into something out of a war zone, and it has robbed the country of one of rituals, dignified, peaceful transfer of power with one president handing off to the next. with me now, cnn security correspondent josh campbell and charles marino who served as a secret service supervise or und three presidents and charles, just heard from doj officials who say they have no direct evidence of efforts to capture or assassinate lawmakers during the attack. knowing what you have seen in the video, what do you make of that? >> make no mistake about this, brianna. this was a national security failure. and then the reason why we refer to it as a national security failure is because this was the biggest threat to the continuity

of our government since september 11th. i would even argue a bigger threat to our continuity of government. if we go back and look at who was present in the capitol on january 6th, we were just short of the attendance of a state of the union. if this was a more coordinated attack and expanded beyond the capitol and included the white house, we would have had either, even bigger problems here. >> it would have been huge. josh, i want to ask you that question. when you hear the doj saying there was no direct evidence, what do you make of that? >> yeah. est interesting to hear officials describing it as a puzzle. still trying to piece things together. as we learned in the immediate moments after the attack, investigators said once we get enough information about what transpired we would be shocked. we're doing that. it's still yet to be determined how premeditated, so into

technique but alarm to hear reports people were there not just to protest, weng ter got out of control or people were mr. planning and plotting to begin with. we're getting details on that as we sort that out. i will say the problem for law enforcement now is not only looking back at wtranspired buta gathering group. you see washington, d.c., mu you mentioned in a fortress-like atmosphere, because officials are so concerned about not only a repeat, as we've reported based on talking to tour intelligence sources, officials are concerned em streamists are emboldened based on what they saw at the capitol. a very dangerous situation there in washington see it. >> charles, there are federal documents for one suspect. jacob chancely, wearing the hat with the horns there. most folks will recognize him from the siege at the capitol. they said there's strog evidence

including chancely's own words and accesses at the capitol that supports intent of the capitol and rioters that the intent was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the united states government. so you know, we're getting some mixed megs here. what do you make of this? >> yeah. i think what would happen was, be thankful to the u.s. capitol police and the u.s. secret service for doing their jobs exceptionally well regarding the safety and security of the vice president and the members of congress. no matter how close it came. they still ultimately did their job. what i would say is the way we would have see this play out at the capitol, i absolutely agree with the fact and think the evidence will support there was a determination here by some of these rioters that attacked the capitol to murder and/or kidnap some of these members of congress and the vice president. we have their words on videotape in some instances to act against

them contrary to what they're trying to say. what i think ultimately would have happened, though, brianna, i think even some of the people that did not have that on their mind, that did penetrate the capitol, we would have had a mob-rules mentality. just as some people are claiming, i didn't intend to go in, but i got carried away. i think we would have potentially saw that defense carry over. i didn't intend to murder or kidnap any member of congress but i got carried away. this is what made this situation so dangerous. >> yeah. indeed. that mob mentality, a very real. saw it play out before our eyes. charles molino, josh campbell, thank you to you both. we're learning more about the self-less men and women who fought back during the insurrection. some officers sharing their heroic stories. cnn's shimon prokupecz is nearby the capitol at this point and has more on this. shimon, they survived. right? that is the way to describe some of this, and there was

individual acts of heroism for sure, even as the entire force itself was not prepared for this. >> reporter: they were not. certainly you're right. these words from these officers speaking out for the first time. so brave. so heroic. it's the words and their actions that tell us what a terrifying picture and what a terrifying event that was on that day. [ chanting "usa" [. >> reporter: in last week's deadly coup attempt at the us capitol, a mob swarmed the building outnumbers and the battling police officers fighting to defend it. >> it was difficult to offer any resistance when you're only about 30 guys going up against 15,000. >> close the door! >> reporter: d.c. metro police officer michael fanone in this group of officers at the west front entrance of the capitol as rioters forced their way in. they eventually push him out into the crowd where fanone says

he was tasered several times. while trapped the 40-year-old says he thought about using his gun to fight back. >> some guys starting getting ahold of my gun and they were screaming out, you know, kill him with his own gun. at that point, you know, it was just like, self-preservation. how do i survive this situation? i thought about, you know, using deadly force. i thought about shooting people. and then i just came to the conclusion that, you know if i was to do that, i might get a few but i'm not going to take everybody and they'll probably take my gun away from me, and that would definitely give them the justification looking for to kill me if they already didn't have, made that up in their minds. so the other option i thought of was try to appeal to somebody's humanity. and i -- i just remembered

yelling out that i have kids. and it seemed to work. some people in the crowd started to encircle me and try to offer me some level of protection. a lot of people asked me, my thoughts on the individuals in the crowd that -- you know, in a helped me, or tried to offer some assistance, and i think kind of the conclusion i've come to is, like -- you know, thank you. for [ bleep ] being there. >> this horrifying video shows the moment the violent mob storms into a tunnel of the building. >> ah! >> reporter: trapping and crushing d.c. metro police officer daniel hodges by a door. >> a guy ripping my mask off and was able to rip away my baton, beat plea with it and was practically foaming at the mouth. so just -- these people were -- true believers in the worst way. when things were looking -- obviously calling out for all i

was worth and the officer behind me able to give me enough room to pull me out of there and brought me to the rear. so i was able to extract myself. >> reporter: leaving the attack without major injuries and was shocked. some thought authorities would be on their side. cognitive dissidence and zealotry of these people was unreal. raisin a thin blue and white plag we're not your enemy while attacking us and kill one of us, some of them felt like, like we would be, quick -- some felt we would be fast friends because they'd been, so many of them had been vocal or at least virtue signaling support for police over the past year. they say things like, you know, we've been supporting you through all of this black lives matter stuff. you should have our back. and they felt entitled. like they would walk up there and tell us they're here to take back congress and we would agree

with them and walk in hand in hand and just -- take over the nation, but obviously that did not, that was not the case and will never be the case. >> reporter: insurrectionists usual evil means to break into the most secure areas of the u.s. capitol building. >> pushing, shoving, hitting officers. they were spraying us with what we are calling essentially bear mace. two to three hours of, you know, heroism and bravery from these officers. i mean, the -- the violence that they, you know, were -- they were getting hit with metal objects, metal poles. i remember seeing pitchforks. you know? getting sprayed, knocked down. i remember just reinforcements, officers pulling officers back to heal up. and you know, then stepping in to get to the front line. and then they go down and then more officers step in. >> reporter: and. is those stories from what we

are hearing from law enforcement officials, helped save, perhaps, save the capitol. perhaps save a lot of the lawmakers from harm. the fact that the metro p.d., the d.c. police department, was able to fight this vicious mob allowed the capitol police to move many of the lawmakers out of harm's way and officials say, tell us, that was the key here. it was the work by the npd that wound up saving many people. >> commendable. those accounts, thank you so much for bringing those to us, shimon. next, the real fears from any lauck maceor their lives are in danger in the wake of the riot on capitol hill. details on what they are doing to protect themselves. plus, what speaker nancy pelosi says will happen if investigators find that members of congress have helped the rioters. and a member of president-elect biden's covid advisory board will join me live. getting his take on new reports that there are no reserved second doses of the vaccine

lawmakers are afraid for their lives and taking new sources to protect themselves. they've brought concerns to party leadership before it was revealed today by federal prosecutors that some of the rioters plan to capture and assassinate lawmakers during the capitol insurrection. cnn special correspondent jamie gangel has the story. what can you tell us about the steps that the lawmakers are taking to protect themselves and family members? as they got official news there

was desire on the part of some perpetrators and capture and kill lawmakers. i don't know that that news to them. i think they felt that very strongly. >> i think that's true, and i think that that news just probably added to a growing concern. it was -- it would be chilling for anybody to hear that. what members are telling me is that they have gone to party leadership. these are both democrats and republicans, and told them flat out, they fear for their lives. they fear for their families' lives, and as we've seen, i think this has grown. so at the beginning, they hadn't seen all of the videos. they had experienced it, but they had not seen it, and one member said to me that they were just traumatized as they saw videos of paramilitary sort of a

militia group, very professionally snaking up into the hill, when they see members being attacked in airports, and now what we're seeing is magnetometers as we've reported, on the house floor. what does that say to members? and what does it say to the public? that democrats and republicans have spoken to members on both sides, and they don't trust their fellow members of congress. and finally, i would just say, i spoke to one member who told me that they were looking into private security, paying for it themselves, and i found out from a former law enforcement official that several members have actually looked into hiring private security. i just will end with this -- one member said to me, this is the new reality, and it's not

over after the inauguration. >> yeah. i mean, that's understandable. that they would do that. we've learned, jamie, vice president pence has actually spoken with vice president-elect kamala harris, congratulated her and also offered his help with her transition. something the president obviously has not done for biden, and certainly this is pretty late, right? talking about just days before the transition. they could have had two months to help each our out. what do you make of this? >> so i think two things. this is the first time the two of them have spoken since they debated each other. that's pretty extraordinary. the other thing is, obviously, this is the first time that anyone from trump/pence world has reached out to biden/harris world. i think it goes without saying that it also says that vice president pence is further

distancing himself from president trump. >> indeed. jamie, great reporting. thank you for sharing it with us. >> thank you. in about about howeur joe biden will outline his coronavirus plan. some are skeptical about his rollout. we speak to a member of the president's coronavirus advisory board next and share some of the heartbreaking final messaging from coronavirus victims as the nation closes out the deadliest two-week period since the pandemic began. hey, you brought some brats, huh? what if the store took back all the brats you didn't eat at the end of the month the way some wireless companies take back your data? that would be weird. tracfone wireless gives you unlimited carryover data. so if you pay for brats, you get to keep your brats. you also get unlimited talk and text on america's best 4g

roughly an hour from now president-elect biden is going

to outline his plan to administer covid-19 doses to americans yet to be vaccinated. he pledged to get 100 million shots in arms during his first 100 days in office. many experts actually say that the new administration needs to aim higher. >> i would say even 1 million a day, what he's proposing, is low. we need to shoot for higher goals. we need to shoot for 2.5 pmillin to 3 million people a day. it's going to be hard with resources and ingenuity we'll be able to do it. >> rick bright of number of president-elect biden's advisory board and former federal reserve chief turned whistle-blower, reassigned and later resigned. rick, you hear what some medical expertsy saying. 1 million shots a day not enough. 2.5 million or north of that. can you specifically tell us if that's something that you

understand and agree with? >> well, brianna, you know we're in a crisis right now. america is what president-elect biden described last night. in a twin crisis. the pandemic and public health crisis along with our economic crises and we need to take bold action now to get in front of this virus and stop the spread. so we can get our economy back on track. president-elect biden with the information we have on hand laid out a goal to deliver 100 million shots by his first 100 days in office. i believe we can achieve that. but you're exactly right. we need to push harder. we need to vaccinate more people if we're going to get in front of this virus. we need to get the information from the manufacturers and from the scientists to make sure we can achieve that timeline and set out a reasonable goal to add minister more doses want we're inside in five days. >> at this point in time, you're committing to the incoming biden

administration, they're committing to what it knows it can achieve? and there's no promises of more than that? i mean, is there any possibility that 2.5 million a day is possible? >> we're certainly going to look into every actor. as you know we need to vaccinate more people in more places faster. part of the plan, the american rescue plan president-elect biden already mentioned is about partnering. partners with states and locals to open up more vaccination vits in nor places. make sure the vaccinations sites are in the hard-to-reach communities to vaccinate everyone in an equitable way. we want to open the floodgates on vaccination making sure everyone who wants vaccinated can do so as quickly as possible. it's going to take a lot of effort, a lot of hard work and we're going to do as much as we can as fast as we can. we have to get inside in five days. we have to look at the data. we have to talk to the dcompanis and get real facts to lay out a

timeline we're comfortable with and not over-promise and under-deliver as we've seen the trump administration do. >> sounds like what you're saying is that the incoming administration does not at this point in time maybe have a full understanding of the problem? is that what you're saying? sounds like you're saying once we get in there? >> the trump administration has not been known for transparency, for sure. we have a little bit of information from conversations with the companies and a little bit of information from a few meetings with the"operation war speed" team. we want to know exactly where the doses are, how many doses are coming often and when to lay out our projections and be more transparent and communicate with the states in a more transparent way so they can plan and schedule for their vaccination

campaigns. it's been very chaotic, very disruptive, and certainly not transparent and not in a coordinated fashion from the federal to state level. president-elect biden will improve those coordination, improve that communication to improve efficiency by which we're going to vaccinate americans. >> despite the trump administration promising, they're actually appears to be no more reserve second vaccine doses to release. how will that impact the biden's administrational rollout plans? >> well, once again, we are certainly going to dedicate to vaccinating as many americans as quickly at possible. we're going to do everything possible to ramp up and scale up production of the vaccines as quickly as possible. we're going to partner with congress to make sure the funds are becoming available to push out to the states and push out and partner with states and locals to open up more vaccination sites so we can

vaccinate americans. we need to make more vaccines faster and administer it even faster. >> real quick, rick, before i let you go here. the name is changing. "operation warp speed." why the name change? >> brianna, "warp speed" independents case some fast speed. actually, there are americans who are nervous about the vaccine, because they believe it was made too quickly, or maybe short cuts occurred along the way. we want to assure americans that the vaccine is safe. so shortcuts were not taken. we want them to be confident in getting that vaccine. "warp speed" was about making it, distributing it and they didn't do such a good job of distributing it. we want to move beyond that. presidented by been a covid response team and that's what we're going to put in place and how we're going to communicate it to america so they have confidence and can trust what they hear from the new team coming in.

>> and the new name is "operation --" what? >> it's going to be our covid response. >> "our cove edid >> "our cove e response." thank you. appreciate see youing. >> thank you. good to see you. hashed to it grasp enormity of what this pandemic has taken from america. ten months into this crisis and it is the worst it has ever been. nearly 390,000 americans have died from the coronavirus. that's approaching the number of american lives lost in world war ii. that is nearly six nfl stadiums, if struggling for a visual way to think about this loss. in the first two weeks of this new year more than 42,000 people lost their lives. these 14 days, they are the deadliest in the entire pandemic. each one of these numbers is a story. it is a loved one. it is someone's father, someone's mother, someone's daughter, someone's son, someone's brother, someone's

overturn joe biden's win. re reversed course after the capitol attack and voted to overturn the electoral results and lankford writes this -- what i did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like georgia, pennsylvania and michigan was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly black communities like atlanta, philadelphia and detroit. many black friends in oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote. for their vote to matter. even a belief that their votes made an election in our country illegitimate. i deeply regret my blindness to that perception and for that i am sorry. monroe nichols is a member of the oklahoma state house. he is one of several black leaders who has called for senator lankford to be removed from tulsa's commission about the 1921 race massacre which has been an effort that senator lankford has very much joined. mr. nichols, thank you for being with us. i wonder what your reaction is to that apology from the

senator? >> yeah. thank you for -- so happy to be on today. you know, i appreciate, i know it takes a lot to apologize, but, you know, the apology misses on a couple of levels. right? definitely those of us in the black community felt very strongly about the senator's actions. but this was also an attack on american democracy. i don't know if an apology completely absolves the behavior we saw that led to a very dangerous situation at the capitol. so i appreciate the apology but i think it falls far short of what's necessary moving forward. >> i wonder, you know, he says he didn't know about the racial overtones. but the racial overtones of what was going on, the places where the votes were being questioned, i mean, that's not information that was in hiding. that was widely covered. that was widely known. do you believe him in that? do you believe that he really

didn't know? >> you know, i find it hard to believe. you know, i made the initial organization when talking about pennsylvania, what i hear is, philly, talk michigan, i hear detroit. talk georgia, all i hear is atlanta. i don't think anybody serving at that high level who's ignorant to those facts. not the least of which was challenging the arizona vote in oklahoma's home to 38 federally recognized tribes. native vote in arizona turned out at the election. whether black inditches in communities, we're all frustrated. we were huge contributors to the last presidential election and for our senator to say those votes shouldn't count? i don't know how he could be so ignorant of that fact. >> he's in cycle. up for re-election soon. >> that's right. >> we watched georgia go blue, which was very unusual. do you think this apology would have meant more, or this realization of the racial

overtones would have meant more if he said it before we watched, say, georgia go blue? in the senate? >> you know, not necessarily. right? like, i think georgia going blue, i mean, because there's already the conversation about philadelphia and michigan. this was -- an opportunity to really reduce the confidence in our elections by peddling lies and conspiracy theories, and we mow now that everything is so fragile. you just can't do that, right? so whether it was before georgia or after georgia, the senate knew better than to peddle a bunch of stuch that wasn't true and not only undermined our confidence in him as a leader but undermined really how other folks in oklahoma, white, brown, black, whatever, feel about elections overall. our senior senator said that he wasn't going to vote to object, because it would be a violation of his oath. i really wish senator lankford

would have saw it the same way. there's no need in our country at this day and time to cause that kind of doubt based on nothing but lies and conspiracy theories that i believe have racial undertones that are too big to miss. >> i want to thank you so much. oklahoma state representative monroe nichols. appreciate you coming on. >> glad to be on. thank you. rehearsals for the biden inauguration pushed back one day. the show goes on january 20th and cnn has an inside look at the historymaking vice preside president-elect. we have a sneak report, next. the app helps you take the foods you have and gives you creative ideas for meals. you can choose any workout you want to fit with your time frame. there are a ton of zero point foods that i love. i never feel restricted. with the new tools, my mindset has completely changed. more holistic. more personalized. more weight loss.

n just five days vice president-elect kamala harris will be the first woman to serve of as our nation's vice president and the first black and asian-american to hold that title as well. in a new cnn special report "kamala harris, making history" gives us a look at her journey from california attorney general to senator in washington, d.c. here's a preview. >> reporter: after the financial crash in 2008, states sued these banks for foreclosure abuses. california was among the hardest hit with banks filing foreclosures on more than 1 million homes. that's when harris pulled up her chair to the table. >> we're in the negotiations and she's talking to the banks. we're flying around the country partnering with other ags. >> there's leverage right in that force of all the states coming together to take on some

of the banks and wall street. >> i determined that what the banks were offering california was crumbs on the table so i pulled california out of the negotiations. >> standing in the trenches with harris, delaware's attorney general beau biden. >> his state hadn't been as hard hit as many around the foreclosures, but beau on a matter of principle said it's not right and i'm going to stand with you guys. it was incredible how much heat we took and beau stood there, beau stood there. >> reporter: the standoff paid off. >> as a result of 13 months of intense discussions, sometimes battle, we have delivered to california $18 billion in relief for california's homeowners. the. >> joining me now is cnn political correspondent abby philip, also the host of the hour-long special report which will air this sunday. abby, really looking forward to

this, and harris has been preparing for this role her entirelism tell us more about her journey to this point. >> reporter: well, the story of kamala harris is in a lot of ways of her being the first to many, many milestones in her career going all the way back to when she ran for district attorney in san francisco to her a.g. race to being, you know, one of the few black senators to ever serve in the united states senate period to where she is today, and you can see in that clip, you know, especially in her ag days really trial by fire in a lot of ways. i mean, clearly being a prosecutor is not an easy job for anyone but particularly for her. there were some really pivotal moments that kind of not only forged her in the fires but also made her a national phenomenon, and it's one of the reasons that she's here today because throughout her career she's been

getting the attention of people not just for her initiatives that she launched in san francisco and in california but also for that big move taking on the big banks and also forging that friendship with beau biden which led her to have a relationship with joe biden who will be the next president of the united states. >> and, i mean, clearly she knew and we know that things have been very -- it's been a very divided country. she couldn't have imagined that she would be taking office under the circumstances is she is, a pandemic, a siege on the capitol and an inauguration that's essentially going to be virtual. did she talk about any of that? >> well, one of the things we talked to her and her husband, the soon-to-be second gentleman doug emoff in their lives, the concerns about their own personal safety, something they have dealt with up close and personal in the campaign where she was almost accosted by

someone at a public event who jumped on to the stage, and mr. emoff was at the time in the audience and jumped up there to basically get this person off the stable, and it was just a reminder to everyone the risks that they pose, but i think both of them had a clear message that they trust the secret service around them. they are ready for this moment. they know what it entails, and they don't want to live in fear, and i think that's kind of how they are entering into the next chapter of their lives. >> the second gentleman. it's very cute. abby, thank you so much. abby philip, and, again, her cnn special report "kamala hey, making history" will air sunday night at sock eastern. in less than an hour president-elect biden is set to lay out his plan to speed up the vaccine rollout, this as we learn there may be not be a reserve of second dose like the trump administration had prompted. we will bring the speech to you live just ahead.
