a letter outlining have plans to try to have trump removed from office using words that pulled no punches. we will act with urgency she wrote because this president represents an imminent threat the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this president is intensified and so is the immediate need for action. the fear is that trump supporters will try to stage another act of insurrection before the inauguration of joe biden on january the 20th security has been tightened in the capitol but pelosi has plans to have truck removed fraught with difficulties firstly it's thought that vice president mike pence is unlikely to lead any attempt to have trumpeted acted by activating the 25th amendment to carrying him incapable of carrying out his duties. and with barely 2 weeks to go for trump's presidency impeachment is also thought to be tricky. with some

democrats fearing it could overshadow joe biden's 1st 100 days in office whatever the outcome seems trump's departure from a face will be unconventional. as he's seen tie a presidency. well let's get the latest from dee to loose washington bureau chief it is paul welcome in this what's likely to happen today. right phil well today in the house the democrats are going to attempt to invoke the 25th amendment that would force wise president plans to make a decision to remove president trump from office only 9 days away from when joe biden takes the oath on january 20th but ultimately this will fail and will be shut down by republicans i mean what most people are paying attention to today here in the united states to whether the democrats are still planning to write up of

articles of impeachment which are expected to happen on tuesday or wednesday so given not likely scenario the democrats failed last time are they more likely to succeed this time as you say with only 9 days of this president's eula. it's not likely that they will succeed in their attempt to impeach and remove donald trump from the office as you said phil just only 9 days way before joe biden is taking over but there have been more and more establishment republicans who are finally really fed up with donald trump and they would like to see him kicked out of office rather sooner than later about for the democrats they want to set also an example that no president ever can get away with the action we have been seeing last week at the capitol and of course of the

president's twitter account he's personal twitter account has been suspended so what are we we're not hearing anything directly from him so what sort of reaction is being heard from the president. it's been pretty quiet. we don't really know what he's thinking at the moment we hear that there might be plans for him to travel down to texas to go to the border to celebrate this big success of his presidency as he sees it and actually also many of his supporters but mostly it really has been silent from the president. however concerns and we heard that earlier on in the little piece you played that trump supporters op landing to head back to washington before january the 20 just before inauguration day but we haven't heard anything from president trump regarding these threats

and we are waiting if he makes any public statements this week especially now that this is the only way for him to communicate so he's without a washington. meanwhile former california governor arnold schwarzenegger has awaited the last weeks of violence in a video posted on social media they form a film stop described president trump as a failed leader and said the riot reminded him of nazi violence against the jews and i grew up in austria and very aware of kristallnacht or the night of broken glass it was a night of rampage against the jews carried out in 1038 that the nazi equivalent of the proud voice wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in united states the broken gallows was in the windows of the united states capitol but them up did

not just shout of the windows of the capitol they shouted the ideals we do for granted they did not just break down the doors of the building that housed in american democracy they trampled the very principles on which our country was founded. well they don't report out until tonight has been following this story aaron kristallnacht is is a he was a huge event and germs nazi history so how is this comparison been received well this video seem to have kind of touched a nerve in the united states i mean it was viewed tens of millions of times with an earth rather short order right after all sorts are posted it and i really kind of think you have to look at this is kind of the opening salvo in a fight for the soul of the republican party you have to remember governor's words a nigger very much represents a different brand of conservatism to president donald trump you know he's a more traditional conservative he's physically conservative but in terms of the modern republican party his social views are a little bit more liberal he's more in line with the policies of the ninety's and

early 2000 and especially when you compare that to you know the policies of president trump where we've seen a more nationalistic nativist taken even authoritarian bent to the party it's hard to see how both men can really exist in the same party at the same time and what i think this video is tapped into is kind of this feeling that some of these more more old school conservatives need to readdress their role in the party and maybe take back some of the ground that's been ceded to donald trump in recent years so those were his comments about events on that night let's hear from him when it comes to the president himself and do believe that we must be a we have to die of consequences of selfishness and cynicism president trump sought to overturn the results of an election and of of election you saw the coup by misleading people with us my father was one misled also with lies and i know it was a lead president trump is

a failed the he will go down in history as the worst president ever the good thing is to do so will be as irrelevant as an order tweet. until somebody thinks will donald trump really be no more relevant than an old tweet i think this is some wishful thinking on the part of governor swartz a nigger i mean more than anyone else i think since reagan donald trump has really managed to read brand the conservative movement united states i mean he has made it his party for better or for worse right now you have to remember looking back at the last general election he got 74000000 people to vote for him that is one of the best results in the history of the american presidential election and many of these people were previously aligned with the republican party they weren't in that big tent a lot of them were disaffected voters who hadn't been to the polls in years and now for better or for worse they are in that big tent with the rest of them and they are going to want to make their voices heard moving forward and donald trump has an ability beyond a many other politicians he can inject themselves into any political debate he

wants to and that's what we've seen time and time again for the last several years so even when he leaves office on the 20th he's still going to be a factor in american policy in politics in these people he's motivated behind him are going to be a huge factor in the republican party moving forward so no i can agree with governor schwarzenegger he's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years to come thanks so much for that thank you. in the aftermath of the sage of the capital the professional golf association of america says it will relocate the 2022 p.g.a. championship away from trump national golf club in bedminster new jersey the board of directors says it didn't want to risk damaging the pj's reputation by further associating with president trump. when he wasn't at the white house president donald trump could often be found meaning with politicians and business executives on a golf course the trump organization alone own 17 golf courses around the globe but
