congresswoman, qanon supporter margery taylor greene repeatedl expressed support for execution. let's go outfront. good evening. i am erin burnett. breaking news. senator patrick leahy just sworn in today to preside over donald trump's impeachment trial has been hospitalized. this happening a short time ago. we're going to have more on his condition as we learn more in a moment. it does come as the case against him shows how trump's words and actions motivated the insurrection at the capitol january 6. video like you see now, posted by propublicly ka and just security. trump supporters responding to trump's call to action in real time before the capitol riot.

>> take the capitol! >> we will stop the steal. >> we fight like hell. if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. >> the chants of fight like hell. look, the reality we saw is most republicans in the senate do not want to talk merits of the case publicly because it is, well, you can't argue trump didn't incite the insurrection. instead, 45 republicans including mitch mcconnell sided with trump. they basically sidestepped the issue of what he did, and said let's forget that part. say the trial is unconstitutional. that's how they voted. republicans one after another, hiding behind a fig leaf that it

is unconstitutional to impeach a former president, so let's not talk about the merits. >> do you believe donald trump committed an impeachable offense? >> to begin with, i think it is a moot point. i think donald trump is no longer president. >> trial after the president left office is beyond the senate's constitutional authority. >> the post presidential impeachment never occurred to me. >> if you can impeach a president after they're out of office, why not impeach george washington, he owned slaves. where does this stop? >> first, let's be clear, impeachment has been used against former officials before, came from english law. that's the only cases in which it was used in those cases. it is not unconstitutional according to numerous constitutional scholars. that's the first thing. on the second point, what you heard from lindsey graham about impeaching george washington, that's a canard, total canard.

as steve lattick tells us, that's not applicable to george washington who is dead. republicans claim it is unconstitutional. they know it is a canard. in fact, one of trump's staunchest defenders matt gates tweeted in 2019 you actually can impeach a former president, for what it's worth. for what it's worth, matt gates, you're right. manu raju is on capitol hill. all but five senators, including minority leader mcconnell voted today that trump's second trial is unconstitutional. is this basically the writing on the wall in terms of votes for conviction? >> reporter: seems that way. still needs to be a trial. arguments have not been had. the brief will be filed by both sides in the coming days. the arguments will occur starting the week of february 8th, and then go on perhaps a

couple of weeks. will that change republican minds? that does not seem to be the case. it seems the five republican senators we mentioned, senators mitt romney, ben sasse, pat toomey, lisa murkowski, susan collins, people that are concerned about donald trump's actions, whether the president is impeachable, those are the likely ones to vote to convict this president. others highly unlikely at this point. perhaps there might be a couple others, but the vote today looks, some senators say it essentially locks them in a key position when it comes time to decide whether or not to vote to convict donald trump. some senators say they could vote another way, once they hear the evidence. getting 12 republican senators, what you would need, 17 total, to join all 50 democrats to convict donald trump seems like a high bar and key move.

mitch mcconnell, senate republican leader siding with rand paul on the question whether it is constitutional, i asked him if he views donald trump's actions as impeachable. he would not answer. privately, he raised concerns. publicly raised concerns. he would not say so explicitly, but siding overwhelmingly with republicans, that's the direction the conference is going. we'll see if anything changes during the course of the trial. >> see what mcconnell does. this is a person that stood on the senate floor and with genuine anger said the president of the united states was directly responsible for this, right? it appears looking for any off ramp you can, if you say it, you're stuck with voting to convict. this gives you an off ramp. in terms of where the trial is, manu, i want to ask about senator leahy, the breaking news, taken to the hospital hours after senators were sworn in for trump's trial.

anyone watching last night with you and me saw him as he was speaking when they marched the article over. what else can you tell us about the senator's condition. >> we are told he has been taken out of abundance of caution, according to dick durbin who told our colleague wolf blitzer, he was told by leahy's wife he is doing well, he is recovering. they just wanted to ensure he was generally okay because of the way he was feeling this afternoon. he hopes that he returns to the senate tomorrow. leahy is 80 years old, been in the senate since 1975. he is the most senior democrat in the chamber and has been preparing for some time of this possibility. wasn't known until the last few days he would preside over the impeachment trial. he is going over law books, talking with staff to prepare for this moment. the expectation is he will return. certainly something of note given he is in line of

succession behind the vice president and speaker of the house. >> obviously very significant. thank you very much, manu. want to go to steve lattick at the university of texas. steve, as i pointed out, almost all constitution alexal experts it is constitutional. jonathan turlick does not think so, thinks it is unconstitutional because trump isn't in office. you have 45 republican senators vote that way today. put out the facts as to why that's wrong. >> yeah, i think it is worth noting that jonathan tur lee took the opposite position in 1989 in an article. what's relevant is what turley said is still what's true today, that impeachment is not just about removing someone from office. if it were, the founders would not have included separate power on the senate's part to disqualify the individual from holding future office.

that's why it is permissible and has been done to impeach former officials while still alive. that's why lindsey graham, you can't impeach someone that's dead, the reason why the dispute persists is not only is donald trump possibly going to seek federal office in the future, he made no bones about wanting to do so. that's why i think the argument is not meant to be a serious legal argument. meant to provide political cover so republicans can neither condemn trump's conduct nor condone it. >> i thought it was interesting. princeton professor in "the wall street journal this weekend saying state constitutions, nonlimited impeachment to current officials, some only allowed former officials to be impeached. in virginia, they subjected thomas jefferson to impeachment after he was governor. there's clearly precedent for this in american history. it is not hard to find. >> not only that, there's

precedent. aspirins ton professor whitington, brian call, concluded the first impeachment congress conducted was a former senator. now as many of the folks in the room aren't here that wrote the constitution, william well-being knap, if the republicans argue it is correct, there would be no recourse for a president if the last days in office commits the most egregious impeachable offenses. that's never how it has been understood and how anyone understands it. it is an argument to be used the way a drunk uses a lamppost, for support, not for illumination. >> one final question. republican congress jim jordan, lawyer, says trump is one reason the impeachment has no grounds. here's another argument he made about the constitution. free speech.

here he is. >> he was engaging in constitutionally protected speech and specifically told rally goers peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard which is what you're supposed to do in this great country. that's first amendment liberties, basic freedom. the whole case is ridiculous. >> so obviously we heard the word echo what trump said over months about fight like hell, all these things, stop the steal, all of the violence was echoed in the capitol. but does the congressman's argument have any merit about first amendment? >> i mean no in two respects, erin. nice if congressman jordan would read the article of impeachment which says it is not just about the speech, it is about all of the prior exhortations, all of the planning, et cetera. second, once again, impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. so normal, ordinary first amendment principles don't apply. the question is purely

political, whether we believe the president of the united states while he was president engaged in the kind of conduct that disentitles him to pursue the office again. if that's the question, i think it is obvious most americans would say the answer is yes. that's why the republicans move the goalpost away from substantive debate about propriety of what trump did, toward procedural off ramps that allow them to avoid one way or the other whether the president acted appropriately. >> thank you very much. laying it out so clearly. let's go to nia malika-henderson, and host of smerconish, michael smerconish. what he raises is an interesting point. you look at mitch mcconnell and what he has said very clearly, you know, if everybody got to vote and no one knew what the vote was, you might have a couple that won't vote to convict. because people will see the vote, they're afraid, so many

republicans, it appears 45 of them. >> i think you're right. they took an off ramp but i don't think it is entirely ill legitimate off ramp. the professor is a brilliant guy, but there's not u nan nipple tee. bruce ackerman was on my show and spoke expansively why he believes meemimpeachment and conviction are not an option for president trump because he left office. look, they're taking the easy way out, it preserves standing with regard to base, prevents them having to address merit of what transpired, in particular on january 6th. >> they're avoiding the merits. on that front it was days ago that mcconnell did speak on the merits, explicitly said trump provoked the insurrection, said it on the senate floor. today he sides with rand paul.

so senator mcconnell basically tipping his hand that he is hoping having said what he thinks is going to make up for not voting that way? >> listen -- >> it is clear where this was always going, which is that republicans were going to stand by donald trump, which is where they always stood. we have sort of different versions of it. there's jim jordan who will defend the president no matter what he does, and then there's the mitch mcconnell version where he might criticize the president but ultimately will likely stand by him in this regard. yeah, we have been talking about that sort of identity crisis that the republican party has been having. it doesn't seem like they're having much identity crisis at all. seems like they're still firmly with donald trump, either complete trumpists, transactional trumpists, but in the end, they land in the same place and that is with donald trump and with his base p

primarily because not like the republican has much beyond trump. they're very much clinging to him. i don't think today's vote was very surprising. i imagine the final vote will look similar. >> michael, obviously we know democrats will use video evidence during trump's trial, video evidence all of us have shown and seen. we showed trump's words on the day of insurrection and words and action of the mob. trump defenders say members of the mob came in, had the plans before trump spoke. who worries about that. just to make it clear, things that the mob said when they attacked the capitol echoed things trump was saying for months before the riot. let me play that. >> we'll lose everything. >> we have to get nancy pelosi the hell out of there. >> we're coming, bitch. >> that's treason. that's treason.

>> this is our country. >> this is our house. >> this is our country. this is our country. >> michael, it is essentially word for word. he didn't just say those words once, right, he said them again and again and again and they were heard. >> the juxtaposition of what the president said and what the crowd then repeated i think is very compelling. the question i still need to have answered is whether then president trump or any of the speakers on the stage that day were aware of plans already afoot to storm the capitol. but by virtue of the vote today, you have 45 senators locked into the view now of the unconstitutionality of a senate trial of a former president. presumably they could change their mind, say they were schooled by some academics, now realize that was the wrong view, but it's hard to see how the number five suddenly grows to the number they need. >> five to 17. if it was five to seven, maybe it would be a different

conversation. >> maybe, right. >> thank you both very much. next, breaking news, biden announcing a major increase in vaccine supply. 50% increase in the planned supply over the next few weeks. i am going to talk to one of the nation's governors and the president's chief of staff about km exactly what it means. and oregon state gop passing a resolution saying the capitol was a false flag, attack engineered by trump's opponents to make it look bad. is this seriously what trump's arm of the republican party has become? and former army secretary with a shocking admission, telling lawmakers that d.c. national guard didn't have a plan on the day of the capitol riot other than to direct traffic. start the year smiling at aspen dental where new starts happen, every day. get exceptional care at every step, unparalleled safety at every visit, and flexible payment options for every budget.

i think the sketchy website i bought this turtle from stole all of my info. ooh, have you looked on the bright side? discover never holds you responsible for unauthorized purchases on your card. (giggling) that's my turtle. fraud protection. discover. something brighter. breaking news. joe biden announcing plans to buy 200 million more vaccines doses for distribution in the u.s. >> we didn't get into this mess overnight and it is going to take months for us to turn things around. but let me be equally clear, we're going to get through this. we will defeat this pandemic. to a nation waiting for action, let me be clearest on this point, help is on the way.

>> it is going to increase the planned vaccine supply by 50%. phil mattingly, outfront. obviously a major announcement from the white house. it is hard to figure out the numbers, is it coming out of a stockpile, is production increasing, how long does the supply go on. what are you able to tell us from all of the information you have? >> reporter: look, this is the biggest issue the administration is trying to grapple with in opening days, getting some sense where things stand, not just from the distribution side of things but from the stockpile and supply side of things. what we know is there are three buckets of what was announced. on the long term, 200 million doses were purchased. they don't have them in hand, but were purchased. that would allow for every american that wants to be vaccinated to be vaccinated by the time they're delivered, expectation is for late summer. then the near term issue which the administration has been grappling with last couple days. this is the most important in terms of near term, boost of

deliveries to states. right now, 8.6 million per week. the new plan allows them to boost delivery up to north of 10 million doses per week. we have been hearing from state governors, republican and democrat, how they don't know what the supply is, don't know what's coming in. that's a key component. the third one which we hear a lot from state officials, information availability. inability for state to state to plan distribution. the administration saying they believe they'll have data to producer for each state to plan weeks in advance in terms of supply they have and distribution they'll be able to have. putting all of the pieces together, trying to address what they believe were short falls when they came into office at this point in time, trying to address some of the biggest concerns from state officials as they try to get populations vaccinated. again, to your point, until the vaccine is in hand, more importantly, until it is in arms, no guarantee what this

will mean. obviously the biden administration approached trying to centralize into a clearinghouse the vaccine process, being unveiled in full as they push forward to try to enhance efforts of the course of the next several weeks and months. >> phil, thank you very much. now, the governor of colorado. i appreciate your time. president biden says the distribution to states will increase to minimum of 10 million doses starting next week. that would be an increase of 1.4 million doses. you said colorado is ready, you would be using three to four times as much vaccine as you have been getting. from your understanding from the administration, does this do that for you? >> what this is, it is a 16% increase, moving the right direction. in addition, it is providing stability for three weeks. 16% increase and also telling us

it will stay at that level. next week, week after, week after that. it is numbers we can plan for, to put it in perspective. colorado this coming week, 83,000 doses, state of 5.7 million people. we have to run the exact math, but talking about approximately 100,000 doses for the following weeks. still, a small step in the ramp up. we certainly hope there's several times that level of dose as we get into march, but we're excited to get it out. this is life-saving and about ending the pandemic. >> right. you're saying ideally you could use more than 300,000 a week if you can get it. you're saying getting to 100 from 83 is something. governor cuomo here in new york, governor hogan in maryland, they say this increase isn't anywhere near enough. sounds like you're saying the same thing, just looking at it as glass half full. >> right. it is going to take an awfully

long time at these levels to end the pandemic. this is important because we can protect the most vulnerable. currently in colorado, making it through 70 and up, down to 65 soon. three quarters of deaths are in that cohort. we can reduce daes by three quarters. to end the pandemic, you need 60 to 70% vaccinated. it will be a long period of time at these levels. i am hopeful that quantity ramps up in march and april. >> three weeks is not a lot of visibility. do you have concern about that, do you think that will be ratcheted up more? >> more visibility than we had before. we were finding out on thursday or friday what we were getting the following monday. now we get a sense of numbers are increasing and going to be

predictable for a few weeks. i think this is where it is now. i think hopefully as the biden administration digs in, they'll get a better sense of exactly what it will look like mid to late february, march, april. i hope it ramps up quickly. i hope there's additional effective vaccines, perhaps johnson & johnson or astra-zeneca approved in parts of the world, astra-zeneca and united kingdom, if that becomes available here, it would further supply. >> that would be dramatic change in the situation. a single dose vaccine in the case of johnson & johnson. i want to ask about a cdc paper today, new study that came out in the cdc journal. it fits with every other study about schools we have seen, what it says is virus spread in crowded offices, long-term care facilities has not been reported in schools. you're not seeing the transmission. do you believe all schools in colorado should reopen immediately? >> yeah, that's consistent with everything we've seen here. we have the majority of school

districts have been in person all year long. we have seen no increase of virus in the areas where schools have been fully income , compar cities where schools have not been in session. with precautions we're taking, not going back to school like last year or the year before, this is mask wearing, protecting cohorts, using ventilation, distancing where possible that the state is applying free medical grade masks to teachers, two tests a week to every educate or. all of these make schools one of the safest places to be during the pandemic. >> hopefully more schools will follow that lead then. governor, appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you, take care. next, you heard the governor on what he needs in his state for a vaccine. what is the administration's response? president biden's chief of staff is my guest. and disturbing posts from

he says honestly, he could use more than 300,000 doses a week, your increase gets him to 100. he still needs a lot more. new york governor says great news on the plan, but the increase isn't enough. >> erin, been here seven days, ramped up capacity higher than its been. moving it to states faster with certainty and clarity. there are limitations on the process. we are inheriting a system built with limited capacity. we are asking the drug makers, there's only so fast they can increase that. we are ramping this up, capacity up starting next week and the week after. even more in march. most significantly, the president announced first time in the entire epidemic he signed

agreement to make sure enough vaccine for everyone by the summer. we have a lot of work to do. and in some states, erin, problem is lack of people to give shots. we are working on surging that capacity. some states there aren't enough places. we announced federal vaccination centers. we need more vaccines, vaccinations, more places to give vaccinations. we are working on all three. >> you say you now signed to get them up, you get johnson & johnson that gets approved, makes it better. the increase in supply, the 16% increase is basically coming out of manufacturing kinks at pfizer, moderna. and he said this was expected. my question to you, and you raised this point, have you talked to pfizer and moderna about a mass increase in production capability, that would dramatically change the

game. then you get the amount you bought but sooner. >> that's what they're working on. that's why we will see more in march and april. they need time to ramp up, too. they're working, while they are working quickly, it is a brand new vaccine, on experimental approval, they're ramping up capacity. 10 million a week would never get us there. they're going to higher numbers in march and april. and final delivery of 200 million doses by the summer. the challenge is to try to match demand and supply, and try nationally only half the doses delivered to states have been administered. we also have a gap on giving shots, getting people in to get the shots. >> soy want to ask you about the goal you have. obviously you have a production you're dealing with, trying to increase that capability. the initial goal was 100 million americans in the first 100 days.

then the president said he was more optimistic yesterday. here's what he said. >> i think with the grace of god and goodwill of the neighbor as the saying goes, we may be able to get that to 150, 1.5 million a day, rather than 1 million a day. >> today, the press secretary jen psaki said the official goal is still a million a day, but look, you and i both know that started happening when trump was in office, had a day of a million day dose z. >> out of 40 days, one day with a million. our goal is to hit the million 100 days out of 100. no country in the history of the world has done that. never happened before. that's an ambitious goal. the president is pushing us to see if we can do better than that. if we hit the 100 million shots in the first 100 days, that will be something no one has done before. >> that's true.

what i am saying is if this was a ramp up, once you're at a million a day, when you started, it was just starting, it was sort of a ramp up. can't you keep ramping it up more? >> yeah. no one is going to limit shots. we're going to get as many shots into as many arms as we can. we think 100 million shots in 100 days is ambitious goal. if we can do better than that, of course we will. if the president is on us to do as many as we can, again, we are inheriting a system. if we do it 100 days out of 100, that would be big improvement. >> i don't know if you heard what the governor of colorado saying schools are the safest place to be. we know that from studies quite some time. i have two kids in public school which meant they have been home a lot, even though study after study showed it is safe to open schools. today you saw the cdc journal publish another study saying you

can open k-12 coschools with minimal covid transmission. why do you think so many public schools are still closed in places private schools are open? >> i will give you a word, money. that's why the president of the united states sent a plan to congress even before they took office to make the investments to make the school safe. the study in wisconsin from the cdc showed 17 rural schools that got a sizable grant from a private foundation to put in the safety measures they needed, students in very small pods, classes of 11 or 12, distance in a rural area can go to school safely. governors who made the investments, governor polis is a great leader, in other states we haven't seen those kinds of investments. president biden sent a plan to congress to make sure the majority of schools can be open within 100 days. we need congress to pass that plan to do the kinds of things

you need to do so that schools can be safe, teachers can be safe, students can be safe. sadly, it costs money. >> no. that's definitely true. but we have all seen the transmission is just not happening. in chicago, teacher's union voted to continue remote learning, they were about to open. town of montclair, new jersey, this story, public schools were scheduled to reopen for hybrid. for elementary kids, first day of going to school in person since march last year, ten months. scrapped plans after local teachers' union refused to return to classrooms. ron, why are the unions overruling what studies show? >> i don't think unions are overruling studies. you're seeing schools that haven't made the investments to keep students safe, again, wisconsin study were classrooms of 12 on average. that requires a lot more classrooms, a lot more teachers, or other kinds of arrangements

to get them small. podding students carefully. we need to do things to open safely. most teachers i talk to want to be back in the classroom. they want to know it is safe. we as a country should make the investments to make it safe. >> obviously you spent many years working on the hill and working with the president. on the hill, impeachment. the vote today on the unconstitutionality, sworn in, trial doesn't start until february 9th. we know this was clearly something the president wasn't looking forward to. he made that clear before when nancy pelosi made the decision to move ahead. are you frustrated that the trial is hanging over washington the next two weeks when you want to do other business? >> the reality has to do its constitutional duty, hold this trial. our focus is how to get work done around that. president biden today got the third major cabinet position filled, have the secretary of state, secretary of treasury,

defense, ties what president obama did. we have other nominees moving forward. going to move confirmations forward, move the american rescue plan forward. impeachment is a reality we have to work around. we can work around it, get things done for the american people, even as impeachment takes place. >> i want to ask you a personal question if i can, since this is the first time you have been on this show since you took the new job. you worked with joe biden for a long time, then senator in the '80s, you were chief of staff when he was vice president. you know him well, served alongside him in his tenure in the obama administration. when you watched him take the oath of office knowing that he wanted that for so long, had not achieved it until now, knowing the personal tragedy he has gone through during all of this, what emotions went through you? >> incredible sense of pride, happiness. look, like a lot of americans, i'll be very honest, i was happy

to see the trump era end. as you said, i knew joe biden a long time. i think the opportunity he brings to move the country forward on the crises he talked about, covid, the economy, climate change, racism, and just seeing this person who has devoted his entire life to public service. he was once rated the 100th poorest person in the senate. his whole life has been about serving this country. to see him at this crucial moment when there's so much at stake become our president, i mean, i was overwhelmed with emotions, i cried. just, i don't know, it is a moment i'll certainly never forget, erin. that's for sure. >> ron, thanks very much. appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. next, cnn uncovering unsettling comments from margery taylor green, repeatedly indicating support for executing democrats, including nancy pelosi. balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo!

false flag operation designed to discredit president trump in order to advance the democrat goal of seizing total power. in a parallel to the february 1933 burning of the german reichstag. these are people that run a party in a state. up next, jeff merkley from oregon. this is your state. you have butted heads with republicans for years. and yet now this is the formal position of the republican party of the entire state of oregon. and what do you say to this? this is nonsensical. >> it is so profoundly disturbing. it is like the executive committee that's leading the party has gone down the conspiracy sinkhole. surrounded by trump media that's

just, they breathe it in continuously, it is on their cable television, it is on their talk radio, getting it in social media, and somehow they just become completely detached from reality. to call this a false flag operation, make excuses for inciting insurrection, making excuses for the insurrection itself, they went even further in this statement by the party. they called those republican members of congress who voted to impeach trump, they called those members benedict arnolds. labeling them as traitors, endangering their lives. this isn't just oregon. this is happening around the country. and we see it in arizona where the party is attacking the governor, they're censoring cindy mccain and so forth. shows you what a state it has come to.

>> this is i think the big question. when you talk to your republican colleagues, how concerned are they about this? this is not, you point out arizona, right, oregon, it is happening in different states across the country, right? it is a qanon deep conspiracy theorist group but it is not just a quick little thing that blew away in the wind when trump left office. what do your republican friends say about this, how deeply concerned are they? >> they are extremely worried, but maybe not worried about the right things. they're worried about their primary elections in the future and should be worried about the state of the union, the state of the ability to address immediate problems facing the nation on every front, the pandemic, the economic collapse, the corruption of the election system through gerrymandering and voter suppression. instead, they're worried that

this mob that has been created by trump's four years of daily lies, virtually hourly lies, they're a friend of that mob. not just afraid for the election, they're afraid for their health and their family's health as well. >> some of the people that believe these things are now in elected office. report about republican congressman greene of qanon supporter. she's indicated support for executing prominent politicians and did this before taking office. 2019 she liked to comment that said a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove house speaker nancy pelosi and said the stage is being set after someone asked whether think could hang president obama and hillary clinton. now, her response to cnn was that a lot of people managed her facebook page over the years. what do you say to congresswoman

taylor greene? >> whoever she had managing it was managing it and the instructions based on the philosophy she was giving them or she would have fired that person and she would have deleted the comments. so she can't shift responsibility for threatening the lives of people in our country certainly threatening elected leaders, places them at significant risk. a few years ago there were a series of ads that would put kind of a rifle scope target on top of elected officials basically saying the same thing symbolically. here she's saying it straight out. >> senator, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. take care now. thank you. >>. next, the former er army secretary saying the d.c. guard was only to direct traffic. why could this happen when all of this was so telegraphed

of course, they werwere devoted donald trump. jessica schneider is "outfront". >> reporter: brandon took center stage. he spoke out at a stop the steal rally warning that calls to stop joe biden from takingamplify. >> we are a problem for the rhinos who want us to lay down and hand over this election to joe biden and democrats. help me tell them right now we're not going away. we're not going away! >> reporter: the next day, prosecutors say he recorded himself and other rioters attacking the capitol. in one video court filings claim he directed people to storm inside and told fellow rioters to take the shield away from a capitol police officer and prosecutors say he wrote on twitter that he was confused why the capitol attack was being condemned. he allegedly wrote for six to eight weeks, everybody on the

right has been saying 1776 and that if congress moves forward, it will mean a revolution so congress moves forward, patriots storm the capitol. now everybody is virtually signaling embarrassment this happened. he posted pictures of him posing with the president from december 2019 on his instagram writing tonight was a long awaited thrill. i finally met and spoke with at real donald trump. he offered tremendous praise and even went around to several tables nearby and lotted me and walk away. walk away is the group he founded that encourages liberals to abandon their believes. >> we're going to walk down and i'll be there with you. we're going to walk down to the capitol. >> taking the capitol now. >> reporter: this new video compiled by just security shows just how closely many in washington january 6th were parroting the president. hundreds of those who attended the rally on ellipse marched the capitol to commit violence. 150 people have been charged

one source says pitman never took control of the radio or instructed officers how to respond in any form that day. the union president is saying no vote is currently underway but officers are pushing for one. >> all right. thank you very much. and finally tonight, senator land paul -- rand paul is out o bounds. senators were sworn in as jurors in the second impeachment video of donald trump. all of them are wearing masks. take a look at senator paul as he signs the oath book. he is not wearing a mask. he did contract the virus himself. he may be immune to it. neither does he. that's no excuse. dr. jonathan ryaner said the only senator refusing to wear a mask as he signs the oath is former doctor rand paul an embarrassment to the senate and medicine. let be clear, the senator paul

was the only one and there are plenty of others that didn't want to but did out of decency and respect to set a good example to behave like an adult during a pandemic where we have several thousand americans dying every day, senator paul should wear a mask. thanks so much for joining us.
