and flipped control of the u.s. senate. line.alls to our democrat caller: the republicans in congress, what do they expect after they enabled and supported this dictator for four years. trump should be impeached or removed from office. just now,rd that kevin mccarthy talking about bipartisanship after the way he and mitch mcconnell and the other republicans behaved -- it is unbelievable. if they are not willing to support impeachment or removal from office, they should resign. it isthe republican line, sydney, good morning. caller: i just hope you will give me a moment to make my point. i don't condone what happened. i'm very disappointed in the president and how he behaved towards mike pence, the georgia

governor, the secretary. he didn't do us any favors there. -- you to understand could say he is a dictator and all this malarkey. grab, the dictator -like behavior is going on all across the board. people need to be a little fair. i believe the trump voters have been disenfranchised for four years. the president has been treated unfairly for four years. he is not part of the establishment. i am for term limits. i think that would cure this disease that goes on in washington. this is why we have president trump. i wish people could look at the big picture. as far as what happened yesterday, it was appalling. this went on all summer.

the republican members of congress denounced it immediately. which did not happen over the summer. everybody knows it. you could try to talk yourself out of it, everybody knows it. i believe the voters, unlike any never beendent have attacked in such a fashion. dayere called racists, from one. this has never happened before. this is the problem. this is poison. you don't attack the voters. you can attack the president all your want -- all you want. don't attack millions of people. should the congress itself have been attacked? caller: that was wrong. the left has demonized conservatives who supported trump calling them racist,

calling them every name in the book. this has got to stop. there needs to be some civility. social media has perpetuated this poison and so has mainstream media. we will go to virginia beach. caller: i hope you don't cut me off. i want to give you the perspective of a black person in america. if those people that marched over to capitol hill and did what they did and they were people of color, believe me, you would be seeing mass murders on the street. we have been disenfranchised for 400 years. of trump party is the party right wing, racist republicans. .ou call yourself conservatives it is all about profit over people. i'm not happy to see anybody get

killed. at the same time, america, the chickens are coming home. host: a photo here on the front page of the style section of the "washington post go a sickening sight at the capital. the actions of the mob incited by president trump work destructive and illegal. dwight in fairfield, california, good morning. caller: good morning, how are you? host: fine, thank you. caller: i would like to commend you and the other moderators here on "washington journal." you guys will listen to everyone's opinion. sometimes i don't know how you do it. there is bias on every side. you guys are doing a great job. as the events of yesterday, this has been brewing for a long time. during the trump administration -- trump was a duly elected president.

the democrats were so busy trying to impeach the duly elected president. the republicans are so busy doing the money grab changing the tax structure as well as getting rid of health care and everything else they did. both parties really took their eyes off the ball. mr. trump in his own way did well for the nation. it showed the soul of america. this division exists. our country was founded on division. we will always be divided. this will not be the last time this is going to happen. to the person who spoke right before, i am an african-american as well. we can't use hypotheticals. will never be violence used against white people by white people. it will not happen.

together, wecoming have never been coming together. my country. i'm 68 years old. i hate seeing my country go down like this. china and russia are looking at this and they are smiling. i don't know what we are going to do. host: thank you. thank for your service. to the democrats line in pennsylvania, robert. no one is really talking about why this happened. i'm a moderate democrat in pennsylvania. of our statevernor and five other states make last-minute changes to the voting rights before this election. against the state constitution and federal

constitution. i don't feel like what happened in pennsylvania produced a legitimate electoral vote. i'm a democrat. happen. to bad, waitnk this is until mr. biden starts coming forr the second amendment the patriots and the 50 states. i hope you bought guns before the election was over. this will be 10 times worse when he comes after the guns. get used to this. brought it on yourselves by ignoring the constitution. pennsylvania was the last date to be considered in the overnight joint session in the chamber, house and senate rejecting the objections to the

electoral count in pennsylvania. the joint session resumed at about 3:00 this morning. the reporting of christina marcos and others headline congress affirms biden win after oloters terrorized capit early thursday morning. presidentb supporting trump violently broke into the ol the day before, it left the building in tatters. one rider dead and lawmakers shellshocked by the unprecedented threat to the building previously thought to --brute -- in tenantable impenetrable. one of the first senators who said he would object was josh hawley of missouri. here he is after the senate gaveled in following the attack on the capital yesterday afternoon. sen. hawley: when it comes to

violence, this has been a terrible year in america. violenceeen a lot of against law enforcement and today we saw it here in the capital of the united states -- capitol of the united states. violence is not how you achieve change. violence is not how you achieve something better. our constitution was built and put in place so there would be no appeal from ballots to bullets. that is what we saw unfortunately attempted tonight. no place for that in the united states of america. but we are doing tonight is actually very important. concerns who have in november,ppened this is appropriate. this is the lawful place.

this is the forum the law provides for our laws. it provides for those concerns not through violence. here in this lawful process. to those who say this is just a formality today, an antique ceremony we have get -- engaged in. i can't say i agree. vital what wevery do. the opportunity to register objections. this is the place. this is where the objections are to be heard and dealt with. debated and finally resolved. violence., without without attacks. host: syndicated columnist george will within opinion on senator hawley and others on the electoral count in the events of

yesterday. a heartbreaking spectacle, free repulsive architects is the headline. mobsng the architects, decorating that building and the constitutional process must be named in forevermore shunned. they are donald trump and senator josh hawley and ted cruz. trump lit the fuse for the riot in the week before the election with his successful effort to delegitimize the election in the eyes of his supporters. wednesday's exclusion required the help of josh hawley and ted cruz. the insurrection against constitutional government will be an indelible stain on the nation. they will however not be so permanent. in 13 days, one of that will be removed by the constitutional process he neither fathoms, nor favors. longer to scrub the

other two. until that is accomplished, everything they say or do should be disregarded. as patton attempts to distract the attention, each will wear a scarlet s. let's get an update from pedro on items in the news to and social media -- news and social media. guest: one of the themes of yesterday was who was actually participating in these protests. antifae several times coming up. if you go to florida politics.com" matt gaetz speaking on the house floor. forident trump called evan's rations to be peaceful. you could moan and groan but he was far more explicit about his calls for peace then some of the blm and left ring -- wing rioters. antifa, the florida politics

story quotes as saying "i don't know if the reports are true at the washington reported some pretty compelling evidence showing some of the supporters who breach the capital were not they wereorters members of the violent terrorist group antifa." that is matt gaetz. buzzfeed posting a story looking at the topic. there is no evidence that antifa was involved in the attempted coup. who quoted lynn woods, subscribes to the queue and on theories.- q anon , one is ad a photo frequent protester. the other is a well-known white nationalists. caitlin nickerson also posting a tweet saying the guy with the

horns has already been identified by many as a well-known promoter. timee right we have a long neo-nazi figure in the white not -- white nationalist movement, but sure, antifa. this story on buzzfeed news. is the line000: for democrats. (202) 748-8001 four republicans. (202) 748-8002 this is for independents and others. we are keeping an eye on the capital and how things are going. first those texts. to equate what happened overrday with the riots the past year was ridiculous. this is the first time a seat of government has been attacked since 1814. what happened yesterday was a wound to our democracy and our country.

i hope americans have learned this is what happens when you put all your support in one man. his crazy conspiracies along with all these politicians that put their allegiance to trump and for themselves and the love of power and money that comes with it. it is time to get these politicians out of opposite before they destroy our great country. like in sioux falls, south dakota. that's be clear, what happened at the capital yesterday does not begin and end with donald trump. it is the result of decades of right wing propaganda and the failure of our nation's government. jean in l myra, nick -- in new york showing a split screen of what happened in washington yesterday and munich in the 1930's. both leaders are masters of mind control. audrey in alabama, good morning on the republican line. caller: good morning. thank you for "washington journal."

i would like to start off by did a greatgreta job holding it together yesterday. she did a better that i did. i'm part of the 1% that serve this country. i was in the u.s. army. the cold war. i was in europe when that wall came down. this is our 9/11 all over again. i'm saddened and disheartened by the insurrection i witnessed in my home country. my own nation. i have seen stuff like this in guatemala. i have seen stuff like this in africa. i am angered and saddened all at the same time. all i could do is pray for our country. by the way, this is in a black-white thing. this is an american thing.

i uphold the constitution. i never took that oath back to uphold the constitution of the united states of america. what eyesight yesterday, that is not my america. saw yesterday was not my america. host: thank you for your service. let's go to george, in louisville, kentucky. caller: thank you, kindly. you almost have to believe that newsmax,watch oann, all of that propaganda you would runninge mccarthy are the show from the grave. every other sentence out of the mouth is the left, liberals, liberalism, liberal agenda, socialist, communist. convincedt millions

that market force has taken over our government. running unregulated and having theet-based solutions is absolute remedy of this evil encroachment. propagandist and conspiracy theorists that want to make you think everybody is a commie, everywhere. angryave million so fighting for their freedoms. propagandists are the infringement. on fox, every other sentence is liberal, left, liberal this. --re has been no public take public takeover of the private sector. the marketeers have taken over schools, jails, prisons, mercenaries. there has been a private corporate takeover. our commonwealth has been privatized.

a great diversion tactic. they have millions convinced their freedoms are being infringed upon if we don't give the marketeers absolutely everything. you look at a trump rally and you see how angry their mob is and how they feel like if there is anything with public tax dollars helping we will become a state. it has to stop. thank you. shirley from, pennsylvania. caller: i want to have a minute or two to say a few things. i want to say it is a very sad day for all of the millions and millions of people here in the united states that voted for president trump. i will say that president trump trusted and backed way too many people. a lot of them, anti-trumper's. starting with mitt romney. i agree that antifa, i do

believe was the ones that caused all the disruption yesterday. they have had marches before with trump people. we never saw any of this carrying on like we did yesterday. worriedg to say i am so about what did happen yesterday. this country -- i don't believe, this is my personal opinion. i don't believe this country is ever going to accept what has happened with the election in the united states. i would love to plead with our president trump, please try to put a stop right now to all of this anger. i know we need to start an investigation beginning with these voting machines. all of thisse stop anger and hatred. try to bring some of this unity to this country. please claim martial law, now. we need you to do that.

we, as the people in this country are so afraid this will not stop. it will escalate and escalate until too many people are hurt. thank you and god bless all of you. host: our crew up on capitol hill on the east front looking at the east front from the perspective of about where the supreme court is. the barricades have been extended out. across thereely walk east front and west front of the capitol. the steps are off-limits for most of the public except officials, members, and media. it looks like they are bringing in more barricades into the east front. our crew will be up there all morning. this is the headline this morning in the "washington post out trump says there will be an orderly transition.

they have done that. president's social media advisor issuing a statement early this morning about that. saying even though i totally disagree with the election and the facts bear me out. there will be an orderly transition on january 20. i have always said that we would continue our fight to continue to make sure only legal votes were counted. while this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it is only the beginning of our fight to make america great again. the statement president trump tweeted out by danskin vino -- inous early this morning. president trump was addressing the rally yesterday. that rally got underway early yesterday morning. the president started speaking at noon and wrapping up his comments just before the joint session gaveled in at 1:00 p.m. eastern.

the president continuing his claims about the election. continuing his claims about the election. [video clip] pres. trump: i want to thank you. it is a great honor to have this kind of crowd and to be before you, hundreds of thousands of american patriots committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious republic. do notus here today want to see our election victory stolen by a bold and radical left democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media. that's what they have done and what they are doing. we will never give up. we will never concede. it doesn't happen. you don't concede. [cheers] our country has had enough. we will not take it anymore. that's what this is all about. favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.

[cheers] today i will lay out to some of the evidence proving that we won this election, and we won by a landslide. this was not a close election. i say sometimes jokingly, but there is no joke about it, i've been in two elections. i won them both, and the second one i won by much more. almost 70 million voted for our campaign, the most for any in the history of our country, 12 million more people than four years ago. and i was told by the real pollsters -- we do have real -- if i went from 63 million, which we had four years ago, to 66 million, there was no chance of losing.

well, we didn't go to 66. we went to 75 million, and they say we lost. we didn't lose. host: looking at the reporting this morning of the british m," thetion "the su headline, "out for blood." overrunpitol building fanatics erect gallows, u.s. capitol building overrun." caller: yes, i wanted to say what happened yesterday was absolutely reprehensible. as far as what chuck schumer said about arresting these chargednd having them

to the fullest extent of the law, i agree. i think a lot of this problem that has happened over the past few years is the fact that people aren't willing to delve deep enough into the research of finding out where they're facts are actually coming from, and i am really appreciative of the education system nowadays. i know some of the local colleges and high schools are now teaching the younger generation to actually look deeper and find out where they are getting these facts from area that's all i wanted to say. host: next up from brooksville, florida, republican line. caller: hello. thank you for taking my call. i have been up since 11:00 yesterday morning. i saw everything happen. i followed everything.

the ones thatare have divided the people. we the people was with president trump. say withople have no president-elect biden and president-elect kamala harris. countryl be a communist . we will live in capitalism. we will live medicare for all. you will be lucky if you will even be able to get health care. obamacare was the worst thing that has ever happened to this country, and joe biden has been in politics for 50 years now. takenuld have had to have dementia.ause of his

he cannot run this world. kamala harris cannot wait to get in to be the president, and she thehe farthest left person, first one to drop out because she had no agenda. she had revenge against joe biden, and i do want to say this election was stolen, and lieutenant general -- retired lieutenant general thomas matt that. even confirmed he says it is treason. treason is punishable by death. china,rebs, russia, iran, big tech, the billionaires , everybody. host: we will go to the

democrats line, pat in new york. caller: good morning. thank you. where to begin? i think first of all, the last i'mer, i'm not sure if correct, but i think mcinerney was speaking against this president or get but anyway, the problem is there are nations that are looking at us right now, and they are looking for weakness and stupidity. they are finding it. they are probably shocked to see how weak we are now. from the lack of intelligence at a social level. it is not just a problem of one man being not qualified for the job. nowadays only require him to be 35 years old and a citizen. most jobs require more. ,ut it is not just one person and his problem of qualifying. it is looking at the people that

follow him, the amount of people that actually believe and are fighting to keep him there, even though he lost the election, and everybody on both sides who are legitimately counting these votes proved that there was no conspiracy that they are trying to bring out. the other thing is that in this country, we have some any reasons to protest and even fight when it comes to constitutional violations, from parents who are losing children that is a system legal industry, to wars that are costingmate and the lives of civilians in iraq, things that we need to fight and protest, but we are fighting and protesting for the stupidest of reasons. this is what is being viewed from outside this nation, and this is what is scary.

because the things that need to be done are not being done. there are too many of us who don't understand what is needed and what is not, and we are fighting for things that make no sense, like what happened yesterday. that energy could have been put into things that were more important. we do need to restructure our laws, our government. we need to restructure our congress when it comes to their priorities. but this was not one of those reasons to fight and die for. the rest of the world is watching, and they are in shock that so much privilege in this country has created a society of idiots. i'm sorry to say that, but this is what i see, and this is what i believe. call.thanks for the yesterday from "the wall street

journal," "the effects will ripple out for years to come, and the full consequences will be left for historians to sort out. it seems likely that the changes other republicans will see mr. trump as the leader of their party after he leaves office has been diminished significantly, as mr. trump himself tried to remind his supporters after violence broke out. be seen at like to the party of law and order, and that is hardly the image he is now projecting. meanwhile, the efforts of president-elect joe biden to call him and unify the nation have become more complex. on the one hand, the willingness of trump supporters to resort to violent behavior shows how deeply they question his legitimacy and how unwilling they are to accept them as their president. on the other hand, it is possible that the sheer horror was to american's felt and that most republicans expressed at the seams of mayhem will cause everyone to take a step back from divisive political behavior and look harder for common ground."

mr.omments came after outgoingre the --sident had -- mike pence after all the accounting was done and everything was done after the lowering of the gavel session, thishe occurred between the vice president and the house speaker. you might have seen it. it was an elbow bump and socially distanced that was allowed. that occurred there. you can see a little bit of a close up there on fox news. the national association of

manufacturers putting out a statement after yesterday's events: on the vice president to evoke -- to invoke the 25th amendment. that would allow them to remove the president from office because they felt that he would be no longer able to hold the position, hold office. they say this in part in a statement. the outgoing president and cited violence in an attempt to retain power. in favoring democracy of anarchy. anyone indulging in conspiracy. two raise campaign dollars is complicit. -- anyone indulging in campaigny to raise dollars is implicit. -- isn't it -- is complicit. manufacturing workers are helping to fight a pandemic that has taken hundreds of thousands of lives.

none of that will matter if our leaders refuse to fend off this attack on america and our democracy. that statement coming from the national association of manufacturers. >> related reporting this morning and headlined republicans considered drastic options to stop trump. that withwann writing 13 days left, confidantes are considering drastic steps to stop him. republicans are furious with the president. what they see is fermenting in the attack of american democracy. invading the sanctity of the chambers. concerned about whether the country can withstand another two weeks with donald trump at the helm. a hind the scenes in recent days, a sense of futility --

behind the scenes, a sense of futility. is talking and not listening and he does not want to hear that he has lost the election. jersey girl says this. , rememberd never be the law enforcement that stepped back and allowed it to happen. remember the most fervent of trump reporters. steve -- says i was
