the capitol. it is still the growing fallout. a lot of developments over the weekend, and we're following many threads this morning. >> it is a moving story. democrats, led by house speaker pelosi, giving an ultimatum to the vice president, strip the president of power, or they'll move forward with articles of impeachment. meantime, the social network parler dropped offline overnight, after moves against it by major tech companies. the app gained popularity among some conservatives after the president was kicked off of most mainstream platforms, such as twitter and facebook. >> as for the siege itself, more suspects were arrested over the weekend, and at least 25 domestic terrorism cases have now been opened. >> take a look at this. we have a really emotional scene. this happened on sunday. officers lining the streets near the capitol, saluting a procession for capitol hill police officer brian sicknick who died after engaging with the rioters. >> of course, this is all

playing out as this nation confronts its darkest days yet in the coronavirus pandemic. look at the numbers. since the start of the new year alone, nearly 2.3 million cases, nearly 27,000 people have already died this year. we've got completeoverage on all of it. let's get started. nbc's chief white house correspondent kristen welker at her post this morning. good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. good morning to you. this morning, there are intensifying calls from both sides of the aisle for president trump to leave office immediately. democrats' message, resign or we will impeach you for a second time. but president trump remains defiant and is showing no signs of stepping down. today, the pressure is mounting on president trump after house speaker nancy pelosi, for the first time, vowed to bring a vote on impeachment if vice president pence does not invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. pelosi on "60 minutes" last night. >> the person running the executive branch is a deranged,

unhinged, dangerous president of the united states. >> reporter: the timing of the impeachment vote unclear. >> this president is guilty of inciting insurrection. he has to pay a price for that. >> reporter: an emotional pelosi also giving chilling, new details about wednesday's attack, saying her staff hid inside her office for two hours. >> what happened -- was a terrible, terrible violation. >> reporter: republicans are still divided, with pat toomey becoming the second gop senator to call for the president's resignation. >> i think the best way for our country is for the president to resign and go away, as soon as possible. >> reporter: long-time ally chris christie saying this. >> you know -- >> so you think it was an impeachable offense? >> oh, sure, yeah. if inciting to insurrection isn't, then i don't really know what is.

>> reporter: meantime, lawmakers slamming their colleagues who objected to the electoral college results, even after the attack on the capitol. >> i don't know how they can live with themselves knowing this people have died because of the their words and actions. >> reporter: all this amid a growing divide between president trump and vice president pence. sources tell nbc news the two men have not spoken since the riots, and that the president did not call pence when the vice president and his family were taken to a secure location at the capitol. before the riots, president trump had pressured pence to overturn biden's victory, something pence does not have the constitutional authority to do. pence will attend president-elect biden's inauguration next week, according to a person familiar with his decision. president trump will not. in fact, two sources familiar with his thinking tell nbc news the president is seriously considering leaving washington, possibly before inauguration day.

for the first time since that attack on the capitol, we are hearing from the first lady. in a statement tweeted out just moments ago, melania trump extending her condolences for the lives lost and saying she was quote disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week. and she called for calm, writing, quote, our nation must heal in a civil manner. make no mistake about it, i absolutely condemn the violence that has occurred on our nation's capitol. violence is never acceptable. savannah? >> meanwhile, as mentioned earlier, corporate america is sending a big message overnight to washington. what can you tell us? >> reporter: savannah, that's right. one of the big headlines, pga of america has officially terminated its agreement to play at trump's bedminster property in 2022. in a statement, a spokesperson for the trump organization saying they are disappointed and called the move a breach of contract. there are a number of corporations that are stopping political donations altogether, including goldman sachs, jpmorgan, and citi group, to

name a few. also feeling some of the heat, some republican lawmakers who supported president trump's false claims of voter fraud and objected to biden's win, including senator ted cruz and representative kevin mccarthy, now there are mounting calls for them to resign. so fallout mounting from all sides. savannah, back to you. >> all right. kristen welker leading us off, thank you. let's bring in capitol hill correspondent kasie hunt. let's start with the democrats, as mentioned. speaker pelosi said she will move forward with impeachment articles as soon as this week, but not all democrats seem to be in agreement that this is the proper course. >> reporter: that's right, savannah. although, there is overwhelming interest in removing president trump from office after what happened on wednesday. the challenge is that the president-elect, joe biden, is set to take office in just nine days. of course, the majority leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell, has made clear he won't accelerate any trial. so that means that it's possible

it could be a president biden who is dealing with impeaching president trump, then ex-president trump, in the first 100 days that he's in office. there are some concerns about that, especially from jim clyburn, the number three house democrat and, of course, a close adviser to president-elect biden. >> he has suggested if there is any trial, maybe it happens after president-elect biden's first 100 days, so that he can take on the issues of the country, like the pandemic. let's talk now on the republican side. because we see a big division there. at least two senators have said the president needs to resign, just leave. what's the likelihood -- what's likely to happen now within republican ranks? >> reporter: that's right, savannah. two have said that he should step down, that he should resign. a third, senator ben sasse, suggested he'd be open to voting to impeach president trump because of what happened on wednesday. this is still very much a live question because what we learned over the weekend is that this

attack could have been much worse, even than many of them had imagined it could be as they were living through it themselves on wednesday. the footage that we are seeing, the things we are learning about what the rioters intended to do, that they were looking for the vice president, they were looking for the speaker, shows just how dangerous there was. that could make this impeachment process more bipartisan. we'll just have to see how the week plays out, savannah. >> kasie, we're about to get into that very issue. thank you very much. indeed, savannah. even more disturbing details about the assault itself are emerging, along with stunning, new images. the number of arrests nationwide growing by the day. nbc's tom costello has that part of the story. hey, tom. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. so the d.c. police department and the fbi stress that the arrests will continue until they track down everybody who is involved in the insurrection behind me on capitol hill. five people died, of course, including one police officer with the capitol police force.

now, the fbi is racing across the country to track down anyone who may be planning another attack. this morning, even more video evidence for investigators of last week's all-out assault on congress. appearing to show someone being pulled into the crowd and beaten with an american flag. inside the capitol, more violence. a d.c. police officer with blood on his teeth screaming, as he's crushed between the mob, a door, and riot shields. that officer injured but alive. at bus stops throughout d.c., most wanted signs ask for the public's help. the fbi says every field office in the country is assigned, working through 40,000 tips. the secretary of the army tells one lawmaker, 25 domestic terrorism cases are now open. >> we need a comprehensive investigation in terms of how it all unfolded. >> reporter: so far, at least 85 arrests, including 20 suspected

ringleaders, now facing federal charges. some of the rioters wore tactical gear and carried zip ties, possibly to handcuff members of congress. two are now in custody. larry rendell brock, a retired air force officer. also under arrest, adam johnson of florida, seen carrying speaker pelosi's lectern. and 41-yeaold doug jensen, part of the mostly white mob chasing a lone black capitol police officer up the stairs. the officer hailed as a hero for leading the mob away from the senate chamber and towards other officers. concern that some attackers demonstrated tactical experience, police departments nationwide are looking at whether their officers participated. >> the possible inclusion and participation of law enforcement, ex-law enforcement, military, ex-military, is one of the more disturbing, potential elements.

>> reporter: this morning, growing calls to add rioters to the national no fly list. those demands come after instances like this, of trump supporters on a plane. >> let's go! >> reporter: faa tweeting over the weekend, airline passengers, unruly behavior on an airplane may violate federal law. you can face jail time and fines of up to $35,000. it acomes amid calls for more protests on facebook and twitter, as well as parler. one event calling for an armed march on capitol hill and all state capitols. meanwhile, on sunday, a procession to honor fallen capitol police officer brian sicknick. his death now under investigation. and one more concern this morning. the capitol physician says house members and staff may have been exposed to someone with covid, as they took shelter during the attack. we should mention that another

capitol police officer has also died. howard liebengood, 51 years old, a veteran of the department. it is not clear if his death is in any way related to the riots on wednesday. back to you. >> the capitol police chief who resigned after this spoke out to the "washington post." he basically said he was pleading for help. what else did he have to say? >> reporter: yeah, he is -- his name is steven sund, and you're right. he's out of the job already. replaced by an assistant chief. former chief sund is saying that he had pleaded in advance for help from the sergeant-at-arms in the house and sergeant-at-arms in the senate, even going to the pentagon in advance, asking to have the national guard to be staged and prepared. in every instance he was shut down. even on the day of the riot, he called the pentagon, he claims, and the first call to the pentagon was rebuffed, as well. so, listen. we haven't reached out yet. we haven't had success in reaching out to the sergeant-at-arms in the house or senate.

both of them have also resigned. >> tom costello at the capit, thk yoan now to what's being called a watershed moment for social media in the wake of the riots. social media tech companies are cracking down on the president and extremist rhetoric. overnight, another platform, parler, was forced offline. nbc senior washington correspondent hallie jackson on that story this morning. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. yeah, it's a major blow overnight to the platform, parler, that a lot of people predicted would become the president's new online stomping grounds. that's after the extraordinary suspensions of the president's biggest social media accounts. some of his supporters argue the moves violate free speech, but others point out those private companies can do what they want and should have taken more steps to limit the president's rhetoric, even before last week's attack on the capitol. the president still silenced on social media this morning, banned from twitter, facebook, instagram, snapchat, to stop him from inciting more violence

online. now, a serious setback for a different site which might have become his new online megaphone. >> we're having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to, you know, says they won't work with us. if apple doesn't approve and google doesn't approve, they won't. >> reporter: that's the head of parler, which styles itself as a mostly unmoderated twitter for conservatives. it's been pulled from apple and google's app stores. overnight, amazon dropped the company from its web hosting service, a move that could potentially put parler out of business. in a letter to the company, amazon cites disturbing examples of content that, it says, clearly encourage and incite violence. one post says, we need to systematically start assassinating liberal leaders. another shows a picture of people huddled in the capitol with the caption, "violence works. make them afraid." >> this seems to me like an excuse to just basically eliminate free speech at a convenient time, you know, for them.

>> reporter: allies of the president angry at the tech companies. >> even if you don't like donald trump, that should be concerning, that they have that power. >> reporter: other high-profile republicans are upset they're losing followers online, after twitter cracked down on accounts that spread qanon conspiracy theories. president trump, for years, has preferred those platforms to spread his message and, often, misinformation. >> someone said i'm the ernest hemingway of 140 characters. can you believe that? >> reporter: after he incited a mob on wednesday before that violent siege on the capitol, less tolerance from big tech. in the eyes of some, long overdue. >> here we had a coup attempt on the capitol of the united states, and some of the tools these companies provide were used to do this. therefore, they decided they didn't want to be in the terrorism business. good idea. >> reporter: head of parler overnight says the platform does not condone or accept

violence and never will. they'll try to get back up and running soon. all their vendors basically abandoned them. worth noting, even though the president is still banned from the online platforms, twitter, et cetera, he is, of course, still free to call a press conference and address the american people that way. >> the old-fashioned way. hallie, appreciate it. coming up on 18 minutes past the hour. what do you say we turn to mr. roker? we need a little sunshine. >> nice to see everybody. >> got sunshine? >> some folks do. for friends in texas, not so much, and through the south. take a look at this. from dallas to waco. waco picking up 4.4 inches, the most they've had in 40 years. it is a real mess out there. we've got another 12 hours of this, as it makes its way to the east. you can see, we've got winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories all the way into alabama. the system moving through. rain to the south, but snow from jackson up to tupelo, just to the west of birmingham, alabama. light snow this morning. 1 to 3 more inches possible through that region, and then it pushes off tuesday. tomorrow, rain early in the

they're too painful. they are painful, but what are your thoughts at this moment i mean, how concerned are you, especially when you're talking about, you know, there's already an armed march being advertised for another date in the future how concerned are you? >> i'm very concerned. this is a very tense moment in our history. savannah, there is a very ugly, racist segment of our society, unfortunately, that has existed for a very long time, largely under a rock and when you have a sitting president who basically is willing to turn the rock up, tell them they're special people, and encourage them to see.

there are many, many jarring images of violence directed against law enforcement, against our nation's leadership, and we could have prevented this. there are ways to secure the perimeter of the u.s. capitol. we do this for inauguration. we do this for state of the union address. we do this for u.n. general assembly every year. we do this for papal visits. this could have been avoided if it had been anticipated. it wouldn't have been hard to see, from open source reporting, the dangers that were emerging >> peggy, let me turn to you you're a conservative writer you worked for ronald reagan, wrote speeches for him, and you've been around a while how do you think the republican party should deal with this? what do you think of the response so far? >> well, i got to tell you i think both parties have probably an interest in talking big words now and getting all

excited, saying furious things on podcasts, but in a way, letting it slide a little bit. i think that would be a big mistake. i think both parties in a bipartisan way right now should move quickly and decisively. to my mind, that means impeachment, but pressure for the 25th amendment would be just fine but you can't let things like this just slide, and maybe we'll take an action in a few weeks and walk it over to the senate in a few months because we have other considerations going on. this is a special and unique event. it was the leader of the executive branch of the u.s. government, essentially directing a mob to go to the legislative branch and interfere the work of democracy, specifically the work of certifying the last presidential

election it got dangerous, as jeh notes it got very much out of control. so i think swift and decisive action now will ultimately serve everybody. i think the republicans have a vote they aren't fully comfortable taking i think the democrats are thinking, let's not get in joe biden's way. i think moving decisively for the country now and drawing boundaries will serve joe biden. the sacrifice he would make to say, you know what, let that go forward, impeach i just think it would be good. beyond good, i just think it is needed >> secretary johnson, before i let you go, one congressman said that we are witnessing the birth of a domestic terrorist movement you were in charge of our nation's homeland security this would have fallen squarely on your desk in that job how do you combat something like this >> savannah, during my time in national security at the defense department and leading the

department of homeland security, our focus was then foreign directed, foreign inspired acts of terrorism on our homeland, inspired by al qaeda and then the islamic state. as the antidefamation league has been tracking for the last several years, the principal terrorist threat in the homeland here is now domestic based, domestic inspired. we got a taste of that last week i've heard many parallels. america's benghazi, for example. this is the outpouring of something that has been festering for a long time. i hope that our government begins now, in a very, very serious way, fbi, dhs on down, to focus on right-wing, violent extremism that we see in these very images. >> secretary johnson, peggy

we're back 7:44 in-depth today and this mornin the problems surrounding the rollout for a coronavirus vaccine in the u.s. >> with hospitals already overwhelmed by the virus, every new case is adding to the urgency for new solutions. nbc's kerry sanders is at one of those distribution centers down in miami kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is no shortage of those who would like to get vaccinated we can see that here in miami-dade the cars that you see here began lining up even before the sun came up. everyone in their cars here has an appointment getting an appointment has proved to be a challenge, both here in florida and across the country. this, as in this new year, we've reached a new surge record, 2.2 million covid cases in just ten days when it comes to vaccinating americans, shots are just not getting into arms. nationwide, states have been

sent more than 22 million vaccines but, so far, fewer than 7 million doses have been administered. >> everybody should be able to have access to the vaccine this is a pandemic we have a lot of people dying. >> reporter: president-elect biden now recommending releasing all available doses instead of holding supplies back for the second round covid cases again breaking records this weekend, especially in hard-hit southern california. >> we are in the middle of a surge right now. there hasn't been a top yet. >> reporter: and that highly contagious uk strain is now in eight states in new york today, the vaccine will be available to essential workers and those 75 and older some locations are now set up to vaccinate 24/7 >> there's going to be people coming here every hour, every day, to get vaccinated >> reporter: florida was the first to vaccinate seniors the state offering a blueprint suggesting first come, first served can be overwhelming >> be willing to spend the

night in a hiding hole, whatever you have to do >> reporter: the alternative appointments >> doesn't say anything here >> reporter: but that comes with its own set of problems. phones constantly busy government-run websites crashing one florida county launched a lottery. some claim the wealthy and politically connected are jumping the line the city of palm beach island, home to billionaires, somehow secured its own supply of vaccines while in central florida, this gated community, where a state republican leader's father lives, given a last-minute supply of moderna. 76-year-old sharon swanson was denied access. >> it, frankly, made me mad. >> reporter: the critics who say, it looks like it was chosen for political reasons? >> i had no idea of who lived there, and i know people say, well, maybe she did or didn't, but the fact of the matter is i didn't know, and we had to get the vaccine moved out as quickly as possible. >> reporter: florida offering vaccines at 22 publix grocery store pharmacies, delivering a vaccine every five minutes, 11 hours a day.

no lines no favoritism. >> they know what they're doing. >> kerry, you mentioned new york is moving to the cdc's next vaccine priority group, and i guess it is good news for new yorkers. walk us through exactly who that covers and when that's expecte around the country >> reporter: so many people are wondering, where do i fit into this line? let's take a look at it. phase 1b, front line essential workers, firefighters, police, food workers, postal workers manufacturing workers, public transit workers, and teachers. after that, we go to the next group which is phase 1c. 65 to 74 years old 16 to 64 years old with underlying conditions. then other essential workers, like transportation and logistics, food service, construction, finance, i.t. and communications of course, in some states like here in florida, they've already opened it up to those 65 and older. as you noted in our story, we saw they're rolling it now in a limited fashion at the grocery store publix

right now in other parts of the country, stop n. shop and kroger are looking at doing something similar, as well guys >> i guess the more spots to get it, the better kerry sanders, thanks. let's switch gears and get a check of al's forecast what are you looking at? >> last 40 years, noaa issued a report on billion dollar disasters. we generally average about four a year over the last 40 years. we've had 22 events this year, the most ever recorded as we break them down, showing you the ten severe, including the august storm, $11 billion across the midwest three tornado outbreaks. april outbreak produced 140 tornadoes or more. then we're looking at tropical cyclones $40 billion worth of damage. a record 13 landfalls in the united states in 2020. the west/central drought and heat wave, all-time record california, oregon, washington fire storms, $16 billion worth of damage. a record 4 million acres burned

this is an nbc news special report. here's lester holt. good morning, everyone. we're coming on the air as house democrats take their first steps toward removing the president from office in the wake of last week's assault on the capitol. they're about to introduce a resolution calling on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment that would force the president out. the vice president has so far expressed no willingness to do so. we also expect members to introduce articles of impeachmeimpeach ment against the president.

this morning, democrat steny hoyer, the house majority leader, will introduce the resolution regarding the 25th amendment and call for unanimous consent. republicans will likely object to that. all of that a force of vote for any president whose turn ends in 12 days. let's go to kasey hunt following it on capitol hill. >> lester. a truly remarkable day in the house of representatives trying to underscore that president trump should be out of office as quickly as possible. they're first taking the step to try and force the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment, that would be the vice president along with the president's cabinet getting together to remove him. as you pointed out, they'll ask for unanimous consent. that would be the only way something like this could happen

so quickly. but we do expect an objection which would push it potentially to tuesday. the bigger question here, impeachment. and how exactly they are going to move forward with this. we know that a trio of congressman have been working on this resolution. one of them david sevenupple le. waiting on the details of the final text there but this would be unarticle of impeachment over insurrection, inciting insurrection. and the big question is going to be, are they able to get support not just support across the democratic caucus in the house which they have significant support from already, but republicans. is this process going to be a bipartisan one. the house speaker nancy pelosi hasn't given a final time line for any vote on impeachment. nor has she definitively said

exactly which article she intends to push forward with the vote. and, of course, it is pelosi who would make a decision on what would come up for vote on the floor of the house. but if they were able to get significant republican support for this, that would potentially have a significant impact on the process which would then kick to the united states senate. and we know obviously the last time the senate tried president trump for impeachment. they did not vote to convict. the only republican who did vote to convict the president is mitt romney in that case. but, lester, i can't overstate the level of fury of levels of congress physically put in harm's way on wednesday. the more we have learned, the more footage that came out the more video we see, the more they're realizing how violent it was and how narrow their escape from harm it was. there was one officer in

particular who led a mob away from the doors of the chamber. the next three people in line for succession for the presidency were in that room. vice president pence, chuck grassley, president pro tem and speaker of the house nancy pelosi. pelosi not in that room, but also in the capitol at that time. those doors were locked just minutes after a police officer led the mob away from the senate chamber. so, all of this has heightened the tension and, frankly, the fear among membmonamong members who have to make a decision about what to do about president trump. another republican senator from pennsylvania, pat toomey came out over the weekend and said he thinks president trump should resign and go away. the question is how many more republicans will come out. lester. >> we'll go to peter alexander

at the white house. peter, what is the word from the white house? >> well, lester to be fair, we haven't heard from the president or seen him publicly in five days. he did post a couple of statements on thursday and then on wednesday, white house produced statements. there are some forms of public statement that might focus on his accomplishments and frustration with big tech as he's been banned from many of those social media outlets including facebook, instagram and twitter. but white house telling nbc news, no final decision has been made. to be clear, this is a president who is poised potentially to become the first in history impeached twice by congress. a president who is isolated. and he's also defiant, showing no indications that he has any intention to step down at this point. one dynamic we're watch right now is this growing divide between the president, president trump and his vice president mike pence. the president, of course,

antagonizing pence in the days lead gz up ing up to the riots. calling son pen ing on pence toe results. something he did not have the ability to do. someone, a source close to the matter, said pence and the president did not speak. and the president did not call vice president pence and his family who were locked down inside the capitol. and in hiding while the riots were taking place. we're waiting to see whether we see this president, recognizing with nine days left, not only is he isolated but very few voices that have access to the president. i'm told that very few, besides rudy giuliani, his personal attorney and a few others around him are engaging with the president, in the words of this former official, nobody wants to be in the president's line of

sight. lester. >> all right, peter. let's go to hallie jackson. hallie, kasie's day this feels worse. each video this feels worse. does it make it harder to gain how this ends? >> reporter: a little bit but in the eyes of some it actually makes it easier to get people on board with the insurrection of violence, with the articles of impeachment. keeping an eye on the floor, lesterer as we're speaking. the question is the timing of this. there is some entire among some republicans for that to happen for the president as well. as peter has reported, it is almost at this point considered impractical for those i've spoken with that he will invoke the 25th amendment and try to move the movement which means impeachment would be the path. but here's the thing, the timing would mean that the president

would be most certainly be out of office if they pass the articles of impeachment from the house to the senate. that's what happened and then you had the senate trial. there is now a discussion that the senate trial is happening the first 100 days that president biden is in office. just because of the dynamic, the idea, the pressure that you'd be in essence prosecuting the guy that preceded you at least in congress. in is say question aboa questio president's political future. what this will prevent the president from doing is running from office. i've spoken to a couple sources who say that the president has disqualified himself from becoming a serious contender. there's a political piece in addition to a national security piece, lester. bottom line, you have severe concerns from republicans, not just, by the way, republicans coming out speaking out against

president trump whenever he does something that is considered outrageous. and you have a president on the other side of pennsylvania avenue that is increasingly aggravated, increasingly on an island with ten days to go. for some people, it feels like a tinderbox. and the focus is ahead on security of january 20th, leftelef lester. it has a different security context. >> while were you speaking we were watching business take place there the reading of the formal resignation letter from the sergeant at arms and the swearing in of the person who will replace him. we're waiting for the 25th resolution to be put forward. congresswoman debbie dingell right now apparently is at the podium. i'm trying to see. >> resolution electing a member to a certain standing committee

of the house of representatives. >> without objection, the resolution -- >> all right. we're not quite there. that's the business of the day. quickly, we'll go to justice correspondent pete williams. he has more on the rules governing this process. pete, what can you tell us? >> i think people wonder why bother with an impeachment if the president will be out of office. and the answer is there is some precedent for the senate actually having a trial after somebody is out of office and barring them from future office, lester. >> all right -- >> -- house resolution 21, resolution calling on vice president michael r. pence to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive department of the cabinet to activate section 24 to declare donald j. trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting president. >> for what purpose does the

gentleman from west virginia rise? >> i object. >> objection is heard. >> pursuant to section 5a-1b of the house resolution 8. the house stands adjourned until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. >> all right. and as we expected there was a republican objection. so this all moves forward. let me go back to pete williams. pete finish your thought and where that leaves us in all this. >> sure. so, the idea is that obviously, impeachment is intended to remove someone from office. if the president is already out of office, the question is why bother with impeachment? there is some precedent if the house has already started the process and then the person leaves office, you can still have the senate trial. and if the person were convicted, if mr. trump were convicted at that point, that would take a two-thirds majority

vote then from further vote, the house could bar him from further office. so it would take a simple majority vote in the house to pass the articles of impeachment. they would they could then go to the senate. and the senate would act on however it chooses and go to trial. and with two-thirds of the vote, mr. trump convicted and they could preclude him from taking further public office. >> there's an objection we just heard from the republican side. let's go back to kasie hunt to explain what happens now. >> well, lester, we're actually trying to answer a question here based on what we just saw because we had been expecting the introduction of impeachment articles. we didn't see anything on the floor on which which one source of mine had said we needed to do. but we have to double-check and make sure that process actually did unfold behind the scenes

here before we move forward on that front. what you did see there play out was unanimous consent. now, that would have allowed that motion to move through. because of the rules of the house, they can't do anything without a period of waiting, basically. so, that's why you saw that republican member go down, object. and now it's likely we're going to see the process play out further on the 25th amendment question tomorrow. they had been wanting to give the vice president mike pence 24 hours to respond to this. i think democratic leaders still wanted to go that way. but i don't think they're optimistic that the vice president is going to take that route. he has signaled that he's not going to. although things could change if we were to see things that caused additional alarm, especially among republicans. the question is how are house democrats going to proceed with these article of impeachment. as the articles were drafted,

they started drafting these articles, lester, while they were under siege. two of these congressman were huddled together, sheltered in place and started making phone calls to house committee lawyers to try to get this all written down. and they have settled on charges against the president for inciting insurrection. there were some democrats who also wanted to add other things to that, including the call that the president made to the georgia secretary of state about their election. but it seems like at this point, those concerns may be, if not set entirely aside, if not minimized to what happened on wednesday. there's a sense, keeping it focused on the terrible events of wednesday makes it more likely that this process could be a bipartisan one and one that could succeed in removing and barring the president from office. lester. >> let me go to peter alexander right now with a view from the white house. peter, so, we understand the

vice president does not want to exercise the 25th amendment. do we know what the level of discussions have been? has he spoken to anyone at the house, speaker pelosi? >> we don't know about any contact between mike pence and speaker pelosi at this time. we do know that some members of the cabinet had previously some conversations regarding the 25th amendment, recognized for it to be invoked and ultimately to be utilized in this fashion. mike pence would have to agree to it as well as the majority of 15 members of the cabinet. but again as hallie reported earlier and at nbc news, that's the indication we have that the vice president mike pence is opposed to that. which, of course, leads to impeachment is the most likely course that would be taken here. what we'll be watching, obviously, there are enough democrats in the house to impeach the president. to convict him is a different story. it requires 17 republicans.

to this point, only one, senator ben sasse has expressed an openness. even considering that. pat toomey republican from pennsylvania said resignation is the way to go. lester, we watch the house and looks like the house will be the first act. >> peter alexander, thank you so much. we'll continue to follow the development of the story and come back on the air as events warrant. i'll have complete . austria known as the night of broken glass. >> wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in the united states. the broken glass was in the windows of the united states capitol but the mob did not just shatter the windows of the capitol. they shattered the ideals we look for granted. they did not just break down the doors of the building that housed american democracy, they trampled the very principles of which our country was founded. >> reporter: schwarzenegger sharing deeply personal stories

from his childhood, talking about his father and neighbors. >> growing up, i was surrounded by broken men drinking away their guilt from the most evil regime in history. >> reporter: he blamed president trump for his role in inciting the violence on the capitol. >> you saw the coup by misleading people with lies. my father and our neighbors were misled also with lies, and i know where such lies lead. but what are we to make of those elected officials who have enabled his lies? and his treachery. i'll remind them of what teddy roosevelt said, patriotism means to stand by the country. it does not mean to stand by the president. >> reporter: schwarzenegger at one point pulling out a sword from his 1982 film "conan the barbarian," using it as a metaphor for our democracy. >> it's like the steel of this sword.

the more this is tempered, the stronger it becomes. our democracy has been tempered by wars, injustices, and insurrections. >> reporter: schwarzenegger also demanding accountability for those he says got us to this unforgivable point, but also, calling for healing. >> we will come out stronger because we now understand what can be lost. we need reforms, of course, so that this never, ever happens again. under those who think they can overturn the united states constitution, know this, you will never win. >> reporter: it's also worth noting that arnold's father was a local police chief who joined the nazi party in 1938. schwarzenegger focused in on how that party came to power, saying not all of them were anti-semites. many just went along, step by step, down the road. they were the people next door. schwarzenegger, who is a republican, also called on all americans to support president-elect biden, saying if

he succeeds, our nation succeeds. hoda, savannah? >> meagan, thank you. first time arnold schwarzenegger has ever spoken about that. >> it is obviously something that's in his history. >> sure. >> he's never spoken about his father and the nazi party, but he felt like this was a moment. he wanted people to understand, this is how it happens. >> easily, it happens. >> yeah. al, let's get a check of the weather. >> all right. let's look ahead for today, see what we've got for you. we are watching a system that's bringing snow through the southeast, into the mid-atlantics. light showers through the southeast. heavy rain into the pacific northwest. bright skies making their way through the southwest. that's what's going on around the country. here's w . good morning, i'm meteorologist kari hall, we're going to reach into the upper 50s with clouds to start and then clearing out. it's going to be a nice one. as we head toward the middle of the week, storm system just to our north will bring in spotty

showers and then we start a warming trend by the weekend, we're reaching into mid to upper 60s and the dry weather does continue while san francisco will have flooding, mainly today and tomorrow, sunshine the rest of the week. >> al, thank you. let's get to "pop start." >> let's do it. we're going to start with tiger woods is up first. part one of hbo's two-part documentary, "tiger," debuted last night. it covers the golfer's show-stopping entrance into the sport and stunning downfall. sam brock, "pop start" correspondent, joining us live from florida this morning with more. sam, good morning. >> reporter: that's a new title, carson. good morning. savannah, hoda, good morning to you, as well. we interviewed the directors who spent about two years putting this documentary together. they told me, look, this is not a puff piece. it is not a salacious look at the life of tiger woods. it is a complex portrait of a man told through many voices

we have never heard from before, until now. tiger woods has spent the majority of his life in the public eye. but now, hbo is offering new windows into a deeply private person, who has fascinated america for decades. >> i think tiger has been covered endlessly by so many people. when we set out, we really wanted to focus on people who knew him intimately. >> i wanted to protect that sweetness of him. it was a quality that i loved about him. >> reporter: an interview with tiger's first girlfriend reveals a young man not yet shouldering the burden of changing sports. living with beatles level mania. the driving force behind that meteoric rise, tiger's late father, earl. >> i think the film is, in some ways, it's a father/son story. earl had this grand vision for who tiger could be and would be. >> reporter: that vision included tearing through racial barriers in a traditionally white sport. >> tiger was going to be this bridge between all the different races and tribes of humanity. >> reporter: how did you decide

how prominently a role race was going to play in this documentary? >> it was extremely important to try to find, you know, subjects and friends and colleagues and other journalists that could speak to it. >> reporter: tiger's remarkable athletic achievements spotlighted, but secondary in this documentary to his relationships and, ultimately, his fall from grace. >> here he was, in my bed, and he was my tiger. >> reporter: for the first time, we hear from rachel uchitel, the woman whose affair with the golfer previewed a tidal wave of cheating revelations. though she discusses a months long, deep connection. >> rachel uchitel talks about how when they'd get together, he'd refer to it as plugging in. his main focus in a lot of ways was to fall asleep next to her and be able to sort of escape the world. >> reporter: a world that later came crashing down, after infidelity and a battle with prescription drugs, tiger presenting an image antithetical

lilly singh made late-night history and she is shakes things upstarting with tonight's premier of season two. a confidential on the multi-billion dollar illegal industry. an undercover look at organized shoplifting rings, and how they're costing all of us money. >> all right. but first, something i'm excited for. ladies and gentlemen, check this out. this week on our "start today" series, we are bringing back the focus on our new year's resolutions. let's be honest, it was a rough first week to the new year. dry january did not work at all for us in my household. we're going to focus on all aspects of health. it's no secret, i struggle with my diagnosis, generalized anxiety disorder. i'm a worrywart. i'm going to work on my mental health. i've been wanting to do this story for a long time. alex toussaint is a peloton instructor and my life coach. he doesn't know it yet. many years, alex's positive

energy, he speaks to me, hypes me up, inspires me. his story about his life, i've wanted to cover it, and we're going the do it. you'll be inspired to hear about his life. if you don't know about alex, you'll need to. he was nice enough to let me help curate his playlist. he has the best playlists for music. we got together and collaborated. every day, until the ride on thursday, we'll do a h.i.t. ride together, we're going to reveal one of the songs on the playlist. so here's our first song on the playlist. i got to have a hype song when i'm on the peloton. we're going back ten years. "i'm a boss." this was 23-year-old meek mill out of philadelphia for the first time. hooked up with rickie rose. mayback music. uncle al, 65 on the resistance. >> that's impressive. >> i'm up in third and you need that anthem, "i'm a boss." >> i got up to 50. that's it. >> that's fine. put on "i'm the boss," and it'll take you to the next step. >> he's pumped. >> almost make me want to get on

a bike. almost. >> don't you have a hype song when you workout? i need somebody to say, "you're the man. you're the man. you're the man." >> you are the man, carson. >> you are the man! >> i'm a boss. >> we're looking forward to that. al, we know yours. it's a-team theme. >> that's right. first, let's take a look at your week ahead as far as the weather is concerned. rain down south. cold in texas. mid-week, more wet and snowy weather for the plains and into the pacific northwest. lake-effect snow around the great lakes. by friday, there's a clipper coming across bringing snow showers through the great lakes. dry in the southwest. plenty of sunshine along the mid-atlantic into the southeast and gulf coast. that's what's going on around the country. he good morning, i'm meteorologist kari hall. let's take a live look outside in san jose before you get ready to head out the door, we have filtered sunshine, that means we're seeing some high clouds moving through but it's overall going to be a really nice day,

and we'll do it all over again tomorrow. and then for the end of the week it's going to be warming up. it is dry, pretty much all week long. and some mid to upper 60s in the end of the week forecast for san francisco. we're watching out for the king tides, which may cause some coastal flooding in the next hour. savannah? >> all right, al, thank you. coming up next, one of the more hopeful images that has emerged from the capitol. congressman working late into the night cleaning up the debris. also, harry smith, speaking of bosses, shares his story and his message for all americans. looking forward to having harry on.

welcome back. the images from the siege on the capitol are hard to watch, but one image emerged and is giving people hope and a good feeling. >> our own harry smith joins us with more. harry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

oftentimes it's not what we say but what we do that makes the biggest difference and that is particularly true in the case of a new jersey congressman who learned that last week. it's been hard to get our minds to file away the images of what happened at the capitol last wednesday. the hatred, the mayhem, the arrogance. an entitled mob proud of their siege. hours after the building was cleared, another image appeared, of a man. new jersey congressman andy kim, picking up the debris the rioters left in their wake. >> when i was walking back to the house chamber, i went through the rotunda. i stood there in the center of the rotunda, and i looked around. my heart broke. i was just devastated by what i saw. the rotunda is this center of the building. in many ways, it's the center of

our democracy. it was just littered with garbage and debris, cigarette butts put out on statues and thrown on the floor. body armor and all sorts of refuge, shattered glass, wood fragments from furniture that was smashed. it was horrendous. >> reporter: congressman kim found garbage bags, and for several hours, picked up trash. >> i didn't want the sunrise over the next morning on a broken congress and a capitol that was left in that type of condition. after i finished with the rotunda, i went to some of the other rooms. walked all over the capitol and tried to do as much as i could to get that building into the place that it deserves to be. >> reporter: in the work, there was, no doubt, catharsis, but also, a realization. >> i've been thinking a lot about what it just means to be a caretaker of our democracy.

i think that that starts by just being a caretaker for our capitol, for being a caretaker to our institutions, and showing them the respect that they demand. i think that that was an important moment for me, as i'm literally picking up the pieces that are remaining after this riotous insurrection. i think, perhaps, that is why the images resonated with so many people around the country. >> reporter: he rushed home friday evening to be with his family. after he tucked young sons austin and august into bed, he answered a call. on the phone, a stranger in tears who was moved by the photograph of his simple act. >> for him, it was just so important to see that leadership isn't just about those that can yell the loudest on the house floor, but about our actions. even quiet actions can be the ones that somehow, sometimes, make the strongest arguments and the strongest points.

>> reporter: congressman kim told us he doesn't feel like he getting from this photo, but he move forward, he sure wants to do it. guys >> thank you, harry. >> nice to see a positive image that you can -- >> i like the quiet actions. probably a lot of people doing little things like that. >> everyone can do a little thing, which adds up to a big thing. coming up next, do you want to improve your diet, your health, your fitness >> yup. >> yup. >> we have three experts, some of the best in the business, to guide us through 2021's top wellness trends. first, this is "today" on nbc.

>> that's right. what are the big diet, fitness, and wellness trends we can see in the new year? we have a perfect team of experts ready to break it down. >> we have registered dietitian and daily burn trailer nora minno. bob harper and influencer yasmin cheyenne they're each going to share their top three trends starting with nutrition, nora, last week did not go as expected for some of us [ laughter ] what's going to be the big, new diet trend this year >> well, i have some good news for you, savannah. year after year, we have seen bad diets come and go, but 2021 is the year of the anti-diet instead of focusing on restriction, we're going to focus on inclusivity and finding a healthy and balanced way to make all foods fit using techniques like intuitive eating i think this year more than ever we realized how important food is to us it is how we socialize, celebrate traditions and cultures, and sometimes we want a great slice of pizza or a warm chocolate chip cookie. we should be able to do all of that without fear of breaking a rule

so this year focus on building a healthy relationship with your food that can last long term >> yeah, okay.into fads, though. cauliflower had a moment is there any vegetable that's up and coming this year >> we do have a vegetable that is not so up and coming, but it is going to be everywhere in 2021 that is the mushroom the mushrooms have been around and used in practices like chinese medicine for thousands of years, but people are really starting to take note of their functional benefits. they have lots of antioxidants and vitamins, and some even contain compounds called adaptogens, which can help your body fight its own stress response so a great tool to have in you stress management toolkit. if you're not ready to eat a bowl of mushrooms every day, don't worry. there are plenty of products on the market that will make it easy for you to get your daily dose of mushrooms in i'm actually sipping on mushroom coffee this morning.

>> delicious >> acquired taste, i'm sure. let's get to mocktails some of us are doing something called slightly drier january, not drinking during the week >> absolutely. we are seeing the rise of this sober curious movement not so much complete abstinence from alcohol but maybe swapping out a cocktail for a mocktail here and there we awe alcohol sales rise over 50% during the pandemic. folks are looking to cut down now, and mocktails are a great way to do it they're a great way to sneak in extra nutrition. you see the fruit here stay hydrated and wake up the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to tackle some of your wellness goals >> looks good, nora. thank you. >> thanks so much. >> now, fitness and our good friend, bob harper good to see your face, and happy you're healthy for starters bob, a lot of folks, obviously gyms are closed around the country, or a lot are. they're not going to the gym s living rooms have become the

gym. is this the new thing? are we going to be working out at home online >> i think 2021 is all about fitness.'sike here's your persol trainer. your phone now i partnered with a major fitness app, and i'm excited about it because you get all the variation. you get to do so many differen types of workouts that could maybe keep you inspired to keep going. >> i think that's brilliant. i know some people are, like, well, i want to workout, but i don't really know what kind of equipment i should get you actually say there is one very important piece of equipment that could really work wonders. what is that >> yeah. well, i think that the kettlebell is something that's so functional. not only do you work core, you can work the larger muscle groups it's a lot of fun, and it doesn't require a lot of space for people living in small areas, you have this one piece of equipment, and it can do so many things. look at me working out in my gym. >> ouch, careful. >> look at you >> carson is yelling, "ouch" and "careful," but i'm sure you're

fine the other thing, this is a savannah thing, which i never got into, yoga. yoga is a biggy. >> namas-hey okay here's what i have to say. yoga is making a big comeback. we're stressed with everything going on in the world, and we need time to just center ourselves and just get a little bit more mobile, flexible, and just feel good 2021 is all about feeling good. >> oh, good dancing warrior. >> look at me. >> look at you >> dancing warrior. >> dancing shiba, i think. oh, the squat. >> something like that by the way, sober curious is my new favorite phrase of 2021. >> sober curious, but not that curious. >> thank you, bob. >> thanks so much. happy new year given the stresses of 2020, it is no surprise wellness is taking center stage in the new year that's where yasmin cheyenne comes in you have 100,000 instagram followers who turn to you for

welcome back our next guest has been making audiences laugh since the first video she posted on youtube a decade ago lilly singh, the host of "a little late" here on nbc. >> this morning lilly is u early ahead of tonight's season premiere i know it's early, girl. happy you're here. i was just thinking, i can't believe that just not too long ago, you were at home, talking to your phone, you know, having all these followers on youtube now, you do this late-night show i mean, just when you reflect, how has that first year been >> wild, honestly. the cool thing is, i still talk to my phone at home. i do still feel i have my roots. it's been wild, you know it's been such a learning curve and experience i feel like over the past year, i've learned enough for ten years, you know? it's been such an experience. >> what's the biggest thing you say you've learned about hosting a talk show? >> it is very, very, very, very

hard most times, people can assume that something is hard, but it is hard in ways i would have never anticipated. youtube, all the things. a daily, late night show is really, really demanding of the host's energy, their mental state, their emotional state i have so much respect for people that do daily shows it's been very hard, but also very rewarding, you know i'm beyond grateful. >> lilly, now that you're starting the second season, it's different than the way you wrapped your last season how have you made those adjustments? >> i mean, yeah. funny you mention that i know y'all have the backdrop from season one in your background right now i saw it and i was like, oh, i forgot about that. yeah, there's so many changes. you know, i think for me, season one was a lot of, like i said, learning it was understanding what is late night what is allowed? what's not allowed how am i supposed to navigate

this world admittedly, i feel like in season one, i wasn't always myself i said i was going to break the format i don't feel i completely did. i still hit the mark, redid lines when i messed up i think in season two you'll see 100% authentic lilly, who is truly having fun, who is truly proud of what i'm creating, and it's just silly and imperfect. that's what i want to bring to late night. >> it must have been kind of tough because when you ste into a new format, you conform to what's going on instincts tell you one thing, but everyone else is telling you, "lilly, you do it like this everything has to be perfect we redo it." was the pushback tough >> it was. i mean, because i kept sayin i want to break the format, but when i was on set for season one, when i messed up, i would feel like, no, i should redo it. jimmy and seth, they don't really mess up, and they hit the mark and look good behind a desk i should be doing that i don't want it to be so jarring for people then i just discovered that it's just not me. you know, i think everything i've ever done in my career that i've been really proud of and that has done really well has

been me. i had to let go of the fear and be like, no, i have to be different because it's who i am. >> is your second season, is the location different >> oh, absolutely, it's different. so season one was in a studio. i froze every day because of the ac i thought, this is not happening again. >> i feel you. >> so season two, for so many reasons, i chose to shoot in a house, which is interesting. most hosts are trying to leave their house and go to a studio i did the opposite i created a set that is my fun house. it feels so much more me and diy. you get this family vibe from me and the crew in the house. >> we're seeing a lot of pictures, i think, of your dog >> yes that is my dog he's the star of the show. >> is he a major character >> i mean, as much as he can be. you know, yeah, there he is, perfect. he has segments on the show. i'll be honest with you and tell you a secret here, the only

reason i have this late-night show is to make my dog a star, so he can get verified on social media. truly, this is my only priority. so he's in the intro of the show this year. he has segments in the show this year this is my agenda. i'll be very open about it. >> cute. >> we wish you such good luck. you are going to come back and visit with me and jenna at 10:00. we appreciate that, too. again, season premiere of "a little late with lilly singh" is tonight 1:35 a.m. on nbc hit the dvr if you're not a night owl. thank you, lilly. >> thank you so much. coming up on the third hour, we'll make a healthy side dish on make-ahead monday, with the food network host. >> look forward to that but first -- >> don't ask what we have because i don't know >> lilly singh. >> and jenna. >> you go, it is going to be a great. >> so amazing. >> but you'll have to wait to see it. >> explore the sober curious theme. >> look at that. we're back after your local news and weather. have a great day
