♪ good evening. thank you for joining us. tonight, a sea of national guard members surrounding the capitol. the scene where the house cast a historic and bipartisan vote today, leaving president trump fighting one last battle in his final days in office.

>> the resolution is adopted without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> reporter: a landmark moment. for the first time in history, the president of the united states impeached for a second time. >> madam speaker, today i rise to support -- >> reporter: after hours of testimony -- >> mr. speaker, we are debating this historic measure at an actual crime scene -- >> reporter: every single house democrat joined by 10 house republicans voting yes to impeach the president on a single charge of inciting insurrection after last week's rally. >> let's walk down pennsylvania avenue -- >> reporter: led to a siege on our nation's capitol. >> donald j. trump is now the first president in our country's history to be impeached twice. and that falls on the heels of an insurrection at the nation's capitol, a vote to impeach him that took place in the very room where that insurrection was

under way. >> what do you think they would have done if they had gatten in? what do you think they would have done to you? >> reporter: the democratic majority largely arguing the president remains a threat to the nation, despite only having seven days left in office. >> nancy pelosi came out swinging. >> he must go. he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love. >> reporter: but unlike the first time, they're now joined by 10 republicans casting their votes to oust the president. liz cheney of wyoming, dan new house, jamie herrera butler of washington, fred upton, david val la, tom rice of south carolina, anthony gonzales of ohio, adam kinzinger from illinois. >> this may cost me my job, it may not. but this is the kind of decision that is worth putting it all on the line, because quite honestly, more time in congress is not worth losing what i

believe to be an honor-losing vote. i think we have to understand that many people, even many of the people at this rally, went there because they were misled, that the election was stolen. so it's a process to inform people of how they were misled, about the importance of the peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: house republican leader kevin mccarthy, long-time ally of the president, placing blame on trump for last week's attack on the capitol. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when the violence unfolded. >> reporter: but he sided with the nays saying impeachment would tear the country apart with such little time left. >> a vote to impeach would further fan the flames of partisan division. >> reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell reportedly telling associates he believes trump committed impeachable offenses. >> mitch mcconnell has made clear there's not going to be

time for a senate trial before donald trump's term ends. but he could get convicted after he leaves office. that would be another first, a grim first, for donald trump. >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second annual impeachment show extravaganza -- >> reporter: among is 197 republican members of congress who voted no on impeachment, many lobbing blame on their democrat colleagues. republican jim jordan of ohio joined a chorus of gop representatives taking aim at the democrats' motives. >> not just about impeachment anymore, it's about canceling, as i've said. canceling the president and anyone that disagrees with them. >> reporter: matt gates of florida, one of president trump's fiercest defenders, suggesting the democrats have instigated even more violence. >> i denounce political violence from all ends of the spectrum, but make no mistake, the left in america has incited far more political violence than the right, for months our cities burned, police stations burned,

our businesses were shattered, and they said nothing. >> reporter: he and other fellow republicans comparing last week's attack on government to protests by black lives matter activists. >> if we prosecuted blm and antifa rioters across the country with the same determination these last six months, this incident may not have happened at all. >> there was nothing more insulting to the general population's intelligence or the spirit of the african-american community specifically than watching one after another blame black people for what transcended, not mentioning why there are protests in the first place, the deaths of breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery, george floyd. >> reporter: over 90% of the black lives matter protests were peaceful, but they were overwhelmingly met with more

force than at the capitol last week. >> it looked like an army that was ready for battle when black lives matter protesters went by. and we all witnessed what the police presence was like during the january 6th attack. so we can just see with our own eyes the disparity between how the protests of black lives matter were handled. >> i have a huge problem with antifa, i condemn the actions in the summer. but an attack on the legislative branch of the u.s. government is a far different thing. when i hear that stuff, it just makes me determined that, look, we have to fight hard for the future of this country and the party. >> reporter: an uncertain future as law enforcement in the nation's capital and capital cities in all 50 states are on high alert for domestic terrorists. the president releasing a new video to the white house youtube page. >> i want to be very clear. i unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week.

violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country, and no place in our movement. >> reporter: what trump did not mention is his historic second impeachment. noticeable as he once again did not take responsibility for his role in incite the assaults last week. congresswoman abigail spinberger of virginia was one of the representatives sheltering during the siege on the capitol. >> we tried to make our way to escape out of the gallery. we didn't make it out, and in fact, ended up locked down in the chamber. it was an experience that i -- i would have never thought possible in the united states capitol. >> reporter: spenberger one of 122 democrats voting for impeachment. >> it is an issue of ensuring every person that holds this office in the future, recognizes and knows and understands that in the united states of america, under no circumstances do we accept that the president of the united states would incite a

violent mob to insurrection for the purpose of holding on to power. >> reporter: in our nation's nearly 250-year history, impeaching a president is extremely rare. only three u.s. presidents have been impeached. >> the other impeachments have been about conduct. this is an impeachment about an attack on the democracy itself. summoned by the president is the allegation. >> reporter: what is left to be seen what is the senate will do with and it what will be written in the history books. >> whatever donald trump's accomplishments, whatever they might have been, first line of the obituary, he's the only president to have been impeached twice, and for this. >> for more on this historic impeachment vote, earlier this evening i spoke with house majority whip and democratic congressman from south carolina jim clyburn. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. you made an impassioned argument

today not just for impeachment, but for preventing president trump from, in your words, seizing public office again. why is that so important? >> i believe it's important for people to realize that when you get in a position of trust, you've got to demonstrate not just for the people currently interacting with you, but for the future. that this country is not here for the benefit of any one person, that it's here for the benefit of all. and if you have been impeached for the second time within what, a year and a half, then we should say that that in and of itself is enough for you not to ever hold office again. >> i want to talk to you about the republicans who cry hypocrisy today, criticizing democrats for their support for the black lives matter protests as the highest-ranking black

member of congress, how do you respond to that? and what was your reaction to the police response to the assault on the capitol? >> if you ever wonder why we feel the way we feel, say the things we say, just look at the difference in the preparation for black lives matter's peaceful demonstration and this one. and the difference is skin color. >> congressman clyburn, thanks for your time, as always. it's good to see you well after the craziness of last wednesday. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. coming up, our powerhouse political team breaks down the impeachment showdown. shall i put her in snow mode? nope! what about off-road mode? nah. sport mode it is. let's see what this baby can do. or... we could check out that farmers market? no! you know what?

♪ we are one week away from the inauguration of president-elect joe biden. now the insurrection and impeachment casting a shadow on that day. earlier this evening i spoke with yvette simpson, ceo of democracy for america. sara fagen, republican strategist. chris christie, former republican governor of new jersey. rahm emanuel, former mayor of chicago and democratic adviser. thank you all for joining us. chris, i'll start with you. history has spoken about donald trump. should he still be the republican party are this is an indication it's over for him? >> well, you know, byron, i think that gets determined by two sets of people. the president and the voters of the republican party in the united states. i remember when he got in the race in 2015, i was in the race as well.

none of us took him seriously, didn't think he was going to be a serious candidate, we really didn't. by were obviously made very wrong by the voters. i think it's too early to decide that. the president has shown a complete disregard for the truth about a fundamental part of our american system, and that is the voting system to elect our president. i think that's damaged him. i think it's damaged him significantly. but, you know, i don't know whether that finishes him or not. but i do think it damages him, and it should. >> does republican party even want the hardcore trump supporters moving forward? >> sure. they want people who support the agenda that the president puts forward. and i think you have to separate message from messenger, byron. now when you do that, maybe you lose some of those folks. maybe those folks only would do that for donald trump. but i suspect that most of them respond to the message more than they respond to the messenger. and that's going to be one of

the things the republican party's going to have to figure out. like every party that loses the way we have now in the last four years. the house, the senate, and the white house. you've got to take some time to be introspective. >> rahm, what happens to the 74 million voters who voted for donald trump? what can joe biden, the democratic party, do to get some of them on board? >> i think joe biden by his dna, it's already showing in the transition polling, by his graciousness, his decency, and his willingness to kind of open up and be receptive to those even that disagree. i said this many times during the final months of the campaign. when he went up to minnesota to be with the floyd family, there was a protester that greeted him. he went over, gave him an elbow bump. he said, "i'll be your president too." it was a protester against him. and they both smiled. and i thought that was an iconic picture. and i said it then. i think that kind of

receptivity, that he's not going to shut people out, that he's not going to cancel them. they may not agree with him, but we don't have to be disagreeable and see each other as mortal enemies. tone and tenor from a president counts a lot. we saw what it counted for president trump. he fomented this american against american mindset. joe biden will be the opposite, 180 degrees from that. second, we have a set of people -- listen, if you don't live in a metropolitan area, you don't have a college degree, you're not part of the economy, you have as a generation, not just under trump, been left behind. there's a person that said at the protest, do you see me? i don't think people think that they've been seen, heard, or valued. and part of what joe biden, a kid from scranton can do, is say to the working class who feel left behind, i see you. i care about you. and here's how we're going to invest in you and your children. and doesn't mean you're going to

get 74 million. but he'll get their attention. >> sara, liz cheney was one of 10 republicans who voted for impeachment. already her house colleagues are trying to oust her from her leadership position. the divisions in your party are deep. can they survive this? >> yeah, they can survive it. and you know, it's going to take people like liz cheney who don't back down. it's possible she'll get removed. i don't think she will. i think the rest of the leadership will work hard to ensure that she remains the important voice that she is in the party. but yeah, there is soul searching that's happening. it's going to continue to happen. and a lot -- i agree with a lot what was chris said. i think much will be determined by, who is the next standard bearer? is it somebody different than donald trump? grump's impeached, which seems less likely to me today, he's unlikely to be the nominee in four years. but if he is, you're going to see a ton of republicans

formally bolt the party. and either go to an independent or go democratic. >> sure. yvette, we know a senate trial won't happen till after joe biden is sworn in. do the democrats run the risk of a backlash here? do they really want to start an impeachment trial at the beginning of biden's term? >> i think it depends on the way you think about this. when i talk to people across the country, they consider this right now the number one issue. and so you can't walk around it. you can't skate past it and say, we're going to pretend like the u.s. capitol was not stormed for the first time in 200 years, and we all feel safe after this has happened. i think safety is one of the most foundational principles for people. and they want to know that the president isn't going to walk past it, that he's going to address it. you know, talking about healing versus accountability. we're talking about unity versus justice. the reality is, i think joe biden has to show himself as someone who will not allow what donald trump has done, what a lot of the folks who will be --

he will be working with in the congress have supported and done, going unaccounted. we know that folks are scared. we know folks are worried. he tries to pretend like this isn't happening, hug it out, let's keep it moving? i think folks are going to feel like they're not ready to talk about the other important issues facing our country. >> this conversation will continue. yvette, sara, chris, rahm, thanks for your time tonight. we'll see you down the road. and we'll be right back with "the final note." with cascade . and save water. did you know certified dishwashers... ...use less than four gallons per cycle, while a running sink uses that, every two minutes. so, do it with cascade. the surprising way to save water. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements— neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. ♪ ♪

be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i lened humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. and many achieved remission that can last. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores . don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

♪ finally tonight, 29-year-old jacob blake was left partially paralyzed after he was shot seven times by police in kenosha, wisconsin. now he's speaking out for the first time to "gma" coanchor michael strahan. >> seven times. >> i kind of went limp. all i remember at that point was kind of leaning back, looking at my boys. i said, daddy loves you, no matter what. i thought it was going to be the last -- i thought it was going to be the last thing i say to them. >> that's first thing on "gma."
