welcome to "today" and thank you so much for joining us on this saturday morning. peter, it is so good to be with you after a very long week. here we are with the capitol over our shoulder, a reminder of everything the nation went through. >> it's just stunning that this whole experience happened just 72 hours ago. we're still living it as we speak. obviously the siege on the capitol, the seat of our government, the symbol of our democracy, literally ransacked by looters like something you would see in some faraway part of the world. >> it's hard to process all of it and we again with the fallout. the top story right now, twitter bang pruesident trump permanently. >> in the wake of the riots at the capitol, the social media giant has muzzled the president forever. president trump and his followers are threatening revenge. >> all this as the house moves forward with impeachment, and the people who rioted at the capitol face justice.

we have every angle of this story covered, but let's begin with nbc business and tech correspondent jo ling kent on that twitter ban. jo, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you and remarkable is the word. this is an unprecedented move by one of the most powerful tech companies in the world. twitter locked in a cat-and-mouse battle with the president of the united states taking away his favorite platform. it's his personal account and it is now gone, along with access to other key accounts. this drama is only just beginning. this morning president trump waking up without his favorite megaphone. >> let me ask you, should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? >> reporter: twitter permanently banning the commander in chief's personal account with 88 million followers after an initial 12-hour lockout following wednesday's riots at the u.s. capitol. the company, run by jack dorsey, saying after close review of recent tweets from the real donald trump account and the context around them, we have

permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence. with his legion of tweets simply gone, president trump moves quickly to post from the official potus account, attacking twitter, democrats and the radical left. those tweets taken down within minutes. twitter's actions sparking celebration and outrage. senator joe manchin thinking twitter and senator mark warner calling it an overdue step. but the president's son, donald trump jr. was furious, sounding off, tweeting free speech no longer exists in america. trump's former u.n. ambassador, nikki haley, saying this is what happens in china, not our country. >> how much of a violation is this of free speech? >> well, you know, as you know, the first amendment doesn't apply to private companies. this is like a store front saying, hey, i don't really want somebody saying that thing in my business. >> reporter: the ban triggered in part by staffers inside twitter pressuring executives to delete the president's account.

one telling nbc news a lot of us are so happy and so proud to work for a company that did the right thing. >> how much of a difference does banning the president on twitter really make at this stage in the game? >> it should make an enormous difference. he was a primary conduit for disinformation on twitter and now that's gone. >> reporter: now, as expected, the official potus and white house twitter accounts will be eventually transitioned to the biden administration in the aftermath of all of this drama. big tech companies usually do not act alone. facebook already has a two-week/indefinite ban on the president's page, at least through inauguration. google also taking some action against a smaller social media site, social media platform this morning. it's called parler and they have been suspended from the google play store until they address the ongoing and urgent public

safety threat according to the tech giant. guys. >> jo ling kent, thank you. administration officials late into the night trying to figure out how to handle this. this morning momentum is building for what would be an unprecedented move by congress, a possible second impeachment of president trump. house speaker nancy pelosi says if the president does not resign, the house will take action toward removing him from office. that's as the outgoing senate majority leader mitch mcconnell sent senate republicans a memo outlining the timing of a potential impeachment trial. kelly o'donnell is tracking all of it from the white house this morning. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the final days of the trump presidency are already numbered, but calls to force an early departure are getting louder and more organized. never has a president been impeached twice, but that dubious and historic distinction could be coming for president trump. facing a new measure of infamy,

a second impeachment, speaker pelosi instructed house democrats to move forward. this one article of impeachment draft form for now accuses president trump of incitement of insurrection. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol. >> reporter: alleging his words and conduct fueled the deadly capitol riot. >> and we're going to have to fight much harder. >> reporter: democrats say if the president does not resign, they must act. >> we just can't simply say, you know what, let's just wait 12 days, he'll be gone. we have a responsibility to hold him accountable. >> reporter: the white house responded in part, a politically motivated impeachment against a president with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country. the first republican senator, alaska's lisa murkowski, called for president trump to step down. i want him to resign. i want him out. he has caused enough damage. another option, invoking the 25th amendment to remove him from office, has been discussed

but sources say vice president mike pence is unwilling to take that step. while president trump sent more encouragement to his ardent voters before his twitter account was suspended. apparent trump supporters taunted republican senator lindsey graham in an airport, angry that graham acknowledged biden's victory. after president trump tweeted he would not attend his successor's inauguration january 20th, president-elect biden responded. >> one of the few things he and i have ever agreed on. it's a good thing him not showing up. >> reporter: but welcomed mike pence to be there. >> if mike -- if the vice president is welcome to come, i'd be honored to have him there. >> reporter: of course there are some practical challenges to pursuing impeachment, even if the house acts with speed. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has written that memo that you alluded to, peter, that says the earliest the senate could act is january 19th, the

final full day of the trump presidency. and so that presents some challenges that could extend beyond the president's term. and there is another motivation many lawmakers feel. if they were to impeach and remove, lawmakers would also have the option to bar president trump from ever holding elective office in the future. peter, kristen. >> a lot of moving parts again this morning. kelly o'donnell at the white house. kelly, thanks. we are also this morning learning more about that capitol police officer who lost his life in wednesday's violence as well as the moment another officer fatally shot a rioter trying to breach the doors of the speaker's lobby. now some of the people who overran the capitol are facing justice. we do want to warn you that some of these images are disturbing. nbc's ellison barber is on capitol hill, she was there throughout the week covering this. ellison, good morning to you. what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning, kristen. yeah, one officer is on administrative leave after

fatally shooting a rioter. another officer is dead at just 42 years old. dramatic new videos, the u.s. capitol under siege. a self-described civil rights activist captured the moment rioters tried to breach the door of the speaker's lobby. capitol police officers giving way to a tactical team as the mob advances. a rioter, since identified as ashli babbitt, begins to climb through the broken door when an officer on the other side shoots and kills her. the officer is now on administrative leave. these scenes, giving the world a glimpse of the rioters and those hurt in violent confrontations like this. 13 suspected rioters are now facing charges in federal court in the district of columbia, including lonnie kauffman, who investigators say was in

possession of two firearms and 11 molotov cocktails. and richard barnett, the man photographed with his foot on speaker pelosi's desk. a republican legislator from west virginia, derrick evans, was arrested friday after posting a video of himself entering the capitol, which he later deleted. so far he's rebuffed calls to resign. and on the streets of the capitol, a solemn, unexpected good-bye. when rioters stormed the capitol, officer brian sicknick physically engaged them. capitol police say sicknick collapsed when he returned to his division's office. he was rushed to a hospital but later died from his injuries. a former member of the new jersey air national guard who served in operation desert shield and operation enduring freedom. this morning flags flying at half staff outside the u.s. capitol in his honor. as fellow officers hunt for the people who may have caused his death. a senior department of justice

official confirmed to nbc news there is a federal investigation into the events surrounding officer sicknick's death. that investigation is going to be conducted jointly by the fbi and the d.c. police. kristen, peter. >> the entire nation mourning his loss. ellison, thank you for that. john brennan served as cia director during the obama administration. he's now nbc's senior intelligence and national security analyst. director brennan, good morning. you spent your life assessing these threats. what we saw this week didn't look like america, it looked like some faraway coup. the trump supporters with extremist views right now online are emboldened. they're vowing that they're not done, that there's nor come. in your eyes was the beginning of something or the end of something? >> good morning, peter, kristen. well, i think it may be both. i think it is the start of a renewed effort on the part of those supporters of donald trump to try to take their battle to

washington. clearly there was a massive security failure earlier this week, and i believe now that the capitol is going to be very well prepared and very well defended to prevent any type of violence from taking place. but i also do see this as the end -- beginning of the end of the trump era. i think there has been a reckoning within this country of just how divisive and how much he has divided us as a country. and so, therefore, i think there is going to be a new dawn in 12 days that joe biden is going to try to bring to the white house and to this country. >> director brennan, federal authorities have warned about a rise in white nationalism, and we saw there during that siege on the capitol symbol after symbol of white nationalism as well as rhetoric. so in your estimation, what specifically needs to happen right now to combat that threat? >> well, i think there has to be

a unanimous denunciation of any type of use of violence. there is a growing concern about this white nationalism and these militia groups that are trying to take action into their own hands. and so everybody of whatever stripe in the republican and democratic party needs to be able to stay unequivocally this is unacceptable in the united states. unfortunately, a lot of the rhetoric that has been coming out of congress and members of the republican party have just fueled those flames. and so there were many different types of people that descended upon the capitol. some of them were just planning to protest and unfortunately i think a lot of them decided to break and enter the capitol. but there are individuals there with pipe bombs or other types of weapons and explosives that clearly were engaged in acts of domestic terrorism that need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. there needs to be, again, a unanimous denunciation of that activity by waall members of al parties. >> director brennan, 11 days to go. as you note, some of the president's supporters are

vowing round two. they are naming dates that they'll be back. what's your biggest concern in this next week and a half? >> well, i think there's concerns about individuals who unfortunately have tremendous access to weaponry and can bring that into the nation's capital. and so, again, i think there was a failure to prepare adequately for the events of the past week. now, the inauguration is going to be managed by the u.s. secret service. i think they're going to be working very carefully with the capitol police, the fbi and others. there's a lot of work between now an inauguration day that there has to be sweeps of the capitol building because of the access that these individuals had to it, the surrounding areas, and also the various state and local law enforcement and security elements need to be working to find out who actually is planning this. there's so much that is out there on social media platforms, that the events of this past week should not have come as a surprise to anybody with security responsibility. and so they continue to work on these issues and look for those

notes and indications that they're going to carry out these acts of violence and stop them before they even get near the capitol. >> we know that federal authorities will be focused on the inauguration. director brennan, thank you so much for your perspective this morning, really appreciate it. also this morning, another record-setting day for the pandemic. an all-time high for new cases in the u.s. was recorded on friday, while president-elect biden announced his plan to speed up vaccinations as soon as he takes office. nbc's meagan fitzgerald has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning to you. right now the nation is seeing more covid-related deaths, hospitalizations and patients in icus than ever before. the u.s. just crossing the 22 million case mark early this morning, and medical experts warn this is just the start of the second holiday surge. this morning, predictions of a deadlier new year are now a reality. the nation setting a new record this week of more than 4,000

deaths in just one day. and on friday, hitting nearly 270,000 new infections, an all-time high. >> it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. >> reporter: the highly contagious uk variant adding to fears as it spreads across the country. cases now confirmed in at least eight states. >> it is going to take off over the next few weeks. by march it will become the dominant source of infection for americans. >> reporter: and more troubling news from the lancet medical journal. a study of more than 1,700 patients first hospitalized in china, found 76% had at least one symptom six months later like fatigue or muscle weakness. in los angeles county, officials say the feared christmas surge has arrived, with friday the deadliest day on record. hospitals sinking deeper into crisis, preparing to ration care as needed medical supplies like oxygen are running dangerously low. >> because we're spread so thin, patients don't receive the level of care that they normally

would. >> reporter: with health care workers overwhelmed, the national guard is moving in to other hot spot locations, like mississippi and arizona to help administer vaccines. a process president-elect joe biden is vowing to speed up, planning to release all available doses of the vaccine immediately. but dr. fauci disagrees. >> the issue of giving it to people and not having a guarantee you're going to get a second shot goes against the science. >> reporter: fauci believes distribution of the vaccine should be more controlled, fearing if it's not, there may not be enough supply available for second doses. and some good news this morning. new research suggests pfizer's vaccine can protect against both the highly contagious uk variant as well as the strain found in south africa. peter and kristen. >> meagan fitzgerald, thank you. we want to get our first check of the weather with dylan. dylan, our first chance to say good morning to you with so many headlines. good to see you. >> good morning.

and in coordination with a national search and rescue agency and the national transportation safety committee. and the tributes are pouring in this morning for the late tommy lasorda. the hall of fame manager who spent more than seven decades with the dodgers. flags at dodgers stadium were lowered to half staff friday and his number 2 was painted in the outfield. lasorda who said he bled dodger blue lived just long enough to celebrate the team's first world series championship in 32 years this past october, the team celebrating there. lasorda died at home in california thursday after suffering a heart attack. he was 93 years old. meantime, in a matter of hours the nfl playoffs will kick off with a record six games set for wild card weekend. the playoffs are starting of course just days after that riot at the capitol. and with so many professional athletes saying that if people of color had stormed the building, the response by law enforcement would have been very different. so will we see nfl players

demonstrate today? nbc's sam brock is outside the tampa bay buccaneers stadium with the latest this morning. sam, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning to you. the nba's highest profile players and coaches have expressed outrage at what we witnessed this week. now, the nfl has launched a quarter billion dollar campaign to end systemic racism, but right now, peter, is focusing on the field and tom brady's bucs returning to the postseason declining to comment on what we saw in washington. on the hardwood miles away from our nation's capital, with a sting of tear gas and insurrection still smoldered. >> the teams both take a knee. >> reporter: nba players knelt in milwaukee, locked arms in miami, and formed a unity circle in phoenix. reacting to a week that began with no charges brought against the police officer who shot jacob blake and kcrescendos wit

racism and hate. keep moving the sticks. >> reporter: and players speaking out after the death of george floyd. >> if i was george floyd. >> if i was george floyd. >> reporter: the nfl declined to comment on the week's events or any plans to acknowledge the tragedy on a packed wild card weekend. the spotlight for now staying squarely on the field. and it is notable that the nfl has been a frequent target of criticism from president trump, especially when it concerns players kneeling during the national anthem. peter and kristen, i would remind you that back in 2018 the president disinvited the philadelphia eagles from attending a ceremony at the white house after several of the players indicated they wouldn't be attending following their super bowl win. peter and kristen, back to you. >> sam brock in tampa, thanks so much. remember the president of colin kaepernick said he should be fired. after the siege of the capitol, he said we love you, you're very

special. it puts a clear contrast on display for all of america. >> it sure does. a lot of people will be watching to see exactly what happens during these playoff games this weekend. now we want to get another check of the forecast with dylan. hey there, dylan, i know you're tracking a lot of winter weather. >> yeah. and in an odd place too, down across the southern plains, especially through northern texas, where temperatures will be on the cold side. of course when you're talking about snow, you're talking colder temperatures. we have cold air surging in from the north. we're not looking at record-breaking cold but temps running 10 to 15 degrees below average. on sunday when that snow continues to overspread especially the panhandle of texas, that's where we could see temperatures close to 25 degrees below average with highs at or around freezing. now, as we go into the rest of the week, we are going to see temperatures begin to rebound. we'll get back up into the 50s in little rock, arkansas, also down through the carolinas too we should be hovering around 50 to 55 degrees as we continue through the middle of the week so that will be a nice warmup.

in the meantime we'll see fairly quiet weather across the northeast thanks to a huge area of high pressure that will keep the sunshine around. a little chilly, temperatures in the 30s, and that snow will just begin to develop across the >> and we do have some areas of some patchy fog left over from the moisture that pushed through a couple of a days ago. down to a quarter of a mile in napa and less than that in novato. we'll get plenty of sunshine this afternoon. temperatures will be in the upper 50s, low 60s and this is going to be the start of a drying trend ahead. be careful if you're headed to the coast. high surf advise are in place until 6:00 a.m. >> and peter and kristen, it wasn't long ago you were announced as co-anchors of the "weekend today" show and now we're adding chief white house correspondents to your list. i just got the email and i

engages the brain and takes us off the depression cycle that many of us are prone to. the second is meaningful engagement with people, being vulnerable and having open conversations, but don't spend too much time on negative talk mindfulness, spend ten minutes with deep breathing and movement, which is anything inside or outside of the house, walking and biking, things like that the other thing i want to say is during the pandemic be careful with seasonal blues making you want to eat a lot of sugary things you'll find insulin going up and down so really engage in foods that are full of protein and fiber and fat, the healthy kind, that will keep you full longer. so dark chocolates, nut butters, proteins, and soothing music, foot massages and plants these are all things that are good for the mood and also can help you relax. >> really good action items there. dr. varma, thank you so much for that great information we really appreciate it.

removes some inciting violence content. several restaurants in downtown pleasanton are allowing outdoor dining. the restrictions have not been lifted yet and we're talking about side track bar and grill. last night the owner allowed outdoor dining after only doing takeout for months. alameda county public health department said the stay at home order will remain in effect until lifted by the state no coming up today on the bay, check your tickets. millions up for grabs for tonight's lottery. plus, vianey's full forecast at 7:00 p.m.

annual wreath-laying ceremony goes high tech honoring the men and women who gave their lives for our country. >> i thought he was going to be alone. it definitely made it easier for me to cope with it. >> while keeping their families safe at home. today, saturday, january 9th, 2021. good morning and welcome back to "today" on this saturday morning, the end of an exhausting week here in washington. of course with the capitol building, the seat of our government, just behind us. >> this is a week where you see the nation really come together, pull together and try to move forward. >> and still try to make sense of what we witnessed this week as well. we want to get right to today's news. twitter banning president trump permanently. >> yeah, it has been the defining way he shared his every single thought, but in the wake of the riots at the capitol, the social media giant has muzzled him forever. the president and his followers are now threatening revenge. >> all this as the house moves forward with possible impeachment plans. the people who rioted at the

capitol face justice. we have every angle covered this morning. we want to begin with nbc business and tech correspondent jo ling kent on that twitter ban. jo, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you both. there has been immense pressure on twitter from inside the company and of course outside of it for years to do more, and last night they did, permanently taking away president trump's favorite platform, his personal twitter account. this triggered a whack-a-mole game of the president trying to tweet from other accounts unsuccessfully as well as outrage from his supporters, exemplifying the very power of his once massive social media following. this morning president trump waking up without his favorite megaphone. >> let me ask you, should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? >> reporter: twitter permanently banning the commander in chief's personal account with 88 million followers, after an initial 12-hour lockout following wednesday's riots at the u.s. capitol. the company, run by jack dorsey, saying after close review of

recent tweets from the real donald trump account, the context around them, we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence. with his legion of tweets simply gone, president trump moved quickly to post from the official potus account, attacking twitter, democrats and the radical left. those tweets taken down within minutes. twitter's actions sparking celebration and outrage. senator joe manchin thanking twitter, and senator mark warner calling it an overdue step. but the president's son, donald trump jr., was furious, sounding off, tweeting free speech no longer exists in america. trump's former u.n. ambassador, nikki haley, saying this is what happens in china, not our country. >> how much of a violation is this of free sp >> well, you know, as you know, the first amendment doesn't apply for every company, this is like a store front saying hey, i don't really want somebody saying that thing in my business. >> the ban triggered in part by

staffers inside twitter pressuring executives to delete the president's account. one telling nbc news, a lot of us are so happy and so proud to work for a company that did the right thing. >> how much of a difference does banning the president on twitter really make at this stage in the game >> it should make an enormous difference he was a primary conduit for information on twitter and now that's gone. >> now, the official@potus,@white house twitter accounts which technically belonged to the american people will eventually be transitioned to the biden administration of course meanwhile the big tech companies, they usually don't act alone in my experience facebook already has put their ban on president trump's page. at least through inauguration. perhaps indefinitely and google announcing last night it has suspended parler, the popular social media app, a smaller platform really, especially with far right wing user, until it addresses what google calls their ongoing and

urgent public safety threat. peter, kristen >> jo ling kent. jo, thank you very much. also this morning, momentum is building for what would be an unprecedented move by congress, a possible second impeachment of president trump. house speaker nancy pelosi saying if the president does not resign, the house will take action toward removing him from office as the outgoing senate majority leader mitch mcconnell sent senate republicans a memo outlining the timing of a potential impeachment trial. white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is tracking all of this this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, kristen. pressure is growing to bring about an early end to the trump presidency, with democrats preparing a streamlined hurry-up impeachment process that could begin within a few days. already impeached one year ago president trump could become the first president ever to be impeached twice with just days left in his term facing a new measure of infamy,

a possible second impeachment, speaker pelosi instructed house democrats to move forward. this one article of impeachment, a platform for now accuses president trump now of incitement of insurrection. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol. >> reporter: alleging his words and conduct fueled the deadly capitol riots. >> we're going to have to fight much harder. >> reporter: democrats say if the president does not resign, they must act. >> we just can't simply say you know, what let's just wait 12 days, he'll be gone, we have a responsibility to hold him accountable. >> reporter: the white house responded in part, a politically motivated impeachment against a president with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country. the first republican senator, alaska's lisa murkowski, called for president trump to step down i want him to resign, i want him out. he has caused enough damage. another option, invoking the 25th amendment, to remove him

from office, has been discussed, but sources say vice president mike pence is unwilling to take that step. while president trump sent more encouragement to his ardent voter, before his twitter account was suspended. >> traitor, traitor. >> participant trump supporters taunted republican senator lindsey graham in an airport, angry that graham acknowledged biden's victory. after president trump tweeted, he could not attend his successor's -- he would not attend his successor's inauguration january 20th, president-elect biden responded. >> one of the few things he and i have ever agreed on. it's a good thing in not showing up. >> reporter: but welcomed mike pence to be there. >> if mike, the vice president, is, is welcome to come, would be honored to have him there. >> reporter: and the last time president trump was impeached, it took several months, so how could it be done in this short time line? well, the house could act quickly. but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell says that

according to senate rules, he cannot bring the senate into this business until january 19th, the last full day of the trump administration that's according to a memo attributed to mcconnell obtained by the "washington post. and that presents a real challenge. one of the motivations that lawmakers have to not simply let the time expire is another component of impeachmentt trump elective offd removal office could include a future ban on president trump ever seeking elected office again. >> we talked about the fact that we are still processing this as a nation one of the things that really strikes me, with the white house, the look of despair on the faces of a number of officials, the stricken look, a number of them resigning as we've reported already. >> i think it is one of those days americans are going to remember, certainly, and it feels like we are still living in it, like history is being written even as we speak, with 11 days to go until the inauguration i think the big thanks and gratitude go to those capitol police, not the leaders who

failed in preparing for it, but those who had to stand there and do their best to deal with that situation. >> that's right. their heroism, we will remember that and be grateful for that. after such a long difficult week, how about we lighten things up just a little bit with the morning boost. >> today is a good day for a boost. this is fred, an official scorekeeper for the golden state warriors for five decades and when it came time for fred to retire, the warriors got together for a fitting sendoff take a look. >> almost. >> hey [ applause ] >> point guard steph curry gave fred the last shot it took a few tries. he's 82, and he got it in, and the crowd went nuts and he has recorded every free throw foul
