good evening, and welcome to "politics nation." tonight's lead, free at last, free at last. we're almost free at last. and thank god almighty because at least up to this hour, most of us have survived the last four years. though on this inauguration sunday, i acknowledge the alarm that grips our nation's capitol and its state houses. and today, we got a chilling new look at just why the nation is on high alert. video shot inside the capitol during the january 6th insurrection showing trump supporters shouting threats of violence as they ran wild through the halls of congress, ransacking the inner sanctum of

our democracy, and we have learned a few hours ago that u.s. capitol police have arrested a second person trying to bypass a security checkpoint ahead of wednesday's inaugural ceremony. this as herehearsals for the bi day were postponed this weekend due to domestic terror threats currently blanketing the country. but tonight, i join at least 81 million americans celebrating at least one of three things. first, of course, i'm simply grateful to witness wednesday's historic inauguration of joe biden and kamala harris, taking place amid their place and outside security even for a presidential succession, but it's still taking place, after the nation and its lawmakers fought over the literal unbiased truth for nearly three months

and a very, very dark day. and so secondly, i'm hopeful that wednesday will cap the four-year night that has been the trump presidency. and do so without any further loss of life. for those that turn their prejudice against the nation should be punished, just as much as those who marched against that prejudice this past year and years before that. i talked to a former police chief and manager from president trump's first impeachment trial, florida congresswoman val demings in just a bit. rounding out my cautious celebration tonight is that tomorrow the nation celebrates the life of reverend martin luther king jr. as the most racially destructive presidency in more than a generation goes down in flames. i'll be joined by dr. king's namesake and heir, his eldest

son, martin luther king iii joins me with the king perspective on how the nation heals with justice. all that tonight on this inauguration sunday. but first, joining me now is florida congresswoman val demings. she's a member of the house intelligence, judiciary, and homeland security committees. thank you for being with us this evening, congresswoman. >> great to be with you, reverend al. >> now, you said earlier this week on our network that you were pleased and encouraged by mitch mcconnell's signal to openness on impeachment, and i asked hakeem jeffries last week on this show, a former impeachment manager of this president, what's different about now? >> well, reverend sharpton, thank you for that question, and look, when you think about the impeachment trial last year, which i believe we presented a clear and convincing case with

overwhelming evidence against the president of the united states, spotlighting his wrongdoing, you saw what the senate did. you saw what mitch mcconnell did. he never gave any indication that he was even open to listening to witnesses. let alone accepting the evidence and convicting the president. so we're encouraged by any sign this time, after the horrific attack on the capitol, my goodness, i mean, how much more would it take if that's not an impeachable offense, what would be? but any positive indication from mitch mcconnell is certainly welcome. we have a long way to go. we'll see what happens, but we're going to take it day by day. >> you have been responsible for the public safety of a major american city. and now you sit on both the house intelligence, judiciary, and homeland security committees. according to reports i'm sure you have seen, there were organized white supremacists among the insurrectionists that

invaded your workplace two weeks ago. also among those insurrectionists, cops and former soldiers. and as we speak, the entire nation is on alert over domestic terror threats leading up to wednesday, if it stops even then. so what i want to know, especially from lawmakers with enforcement experience, is how should this new congress and the biden/harris administration deal with the exposed threat of white supremacist right-wing terror? >> well, reverend sharpton, i also serve on the committee on homeland security under the leadership of chairman bennie thompson. and this is a topic that we have tried to push for the last -- during the last congress. the overwhelming threat of home-grown terrorism, domestic terrorism. we saw the culmination of that on last wednesday. and so we have got to have a very aggressive approach, as you

know there are several major investigations going on right now into what happened on last wednesday, who was involved, who was involved in the planning, including everybody. we heard the commander in chief incite the riot, but we're also interested in were there members of the senate, were there members of congress? yes, i heard reports, i heard from police officers, capitol police officers, that there were officers who falsely and illegally flashed their badges to try to push their way into the capitol building, and so anybody who was involved should be held accountable. >> as a floridian, your husband is a mayor there as well, how concerned are you that donald trump will relocate to florida, and as "the washington post" puts it, to seek rehabilitation,

a maga oasis? >> reverend sharpton, he had 49 other choices. and he selected florida, but let me tell you, we're in the process in florida of really trying to rebuild our democratic party. we just elected a new chair. we're very thankful for the work of the former chair. but we're getting ready to try to take politics in florida to the next level. those who believe in the constitution, the rule of law, believe in our most precious system of government, we saw on wednesday just how fragile it can be. those who are willing to join us in this effort in florida to really rebuild, regroup, come together, republican, democrat, or independent, we have a lot of work to do. we're going to be focused on that work. i do wish the president had chosen another state, but he's coming to florida. we're going to focus on the work before us so we can really protect all that is precious in this country. >> before i run out of time, i

have to ask you a ground-breaking black woman politician yourself, your feelings ahead of wednesday, when a black woman will be first in line to take over the most powerful position in the world, soon-to-be vice president kamala harris. >> reverend sharpton, i talk quite a bit about the promise of america and the opportunities that this country is supposed to afford itself to for any person who is willing to work hard and play by the rules. we are going to witness the promise of america. all that this country could be and should be, with the swearing in on wednesday of the first woman to serve as vice president, and that woman just happens to be a black woman. i cannot be prouder. women are proud, but i tell you what, everybody in this country who believes in this country should be proud to see her ascension to the vice presidency on wednesday.

i'm going to be right there. >> thank you so much, congresswoman val demings. now, joining me now is congresswoman stacey plaskett of the u.s. virgin islands, an impeachment manager in the upcoming senate trial. thank you for joining us, congresswoman. >> thank you so much for having me here with you. >> now, last time the president was impeached, his criminal behavior had taken place in a private phone call. while this time, it was out in the open. how does that change the strategy for a senate hearing? >> well, isn't that amazing that we have now an impeachment where the entire world has actually seen the crime scene in graphic detail? we have hundreds of thousands of videos of what took place, his speech, the prolonged effort he had to overturn the results of the 2020 election. as well as his attempt to

maintain his grip on power by inciting the crowd, drawing them to washington to that specific date, reverend sharpton, no any other date but the date when all members of congress were going to be engaged in fulfilling their constitutional duty. and inciting the crowd and the mayhem that carried after it. we have all been witness to it. we have all seen the crime in real time. >> now, with the recent democratic senate victories in georgia, chuck schumer should be the majority leader by the time the trial is under way. how will that impact the trial process? >> well, we'll see, right? there is a process that has to be done. rules of the senate in terms of what will and not be allowed. we have great discussions by speaker pelosi who has done a phenomenal job of putting together a team which has been working seamlessly, and she and

others will be in the discussion about what that trial looks like. i'm happy that we have the georgia wins. elections have consequences, and we'll see how that plays out in the senate. >> you're one of six non-voting members of the house of representatives. what does it mean to your constituents, who do not have a voice in voting for president or vote on federal legislation. what does it mean for them to have representation in an impeachment trial? >> oh, reverend sharpton, i'm so glad you brought that up. you have no clue what it means to the almost 4 million, 4 million americans who live in the territories, who yearn incredibly to be able to have the full privileges of citizenship along with the responsibilities. when my home, the virgin islands, was purchased by the united states, my grandparents, our forefathers, came to

washington and demanded that we be part of the draft because they wanted the responsibilities along with the privileges. and the virgin islands, puerto rico, guam, all of the others, we fight in the wars in greater numbers and percentages than anywhere else. yet, we have a commander in chief that we cannot vote for. so there was great angst among virgin islanders and others about this election, fighting to insure that people would participate. we were so thankful americans came out in greater numbers. but what great irony it is that while we were not able to vote for a president, the individual that they did vote for is the person who is going to be trying the president in this senate. only in america. >> before i let you go, i have to ask you this. back in january, on january 6th, you decided to take your chances with the insurrectionists rather than staying in a secure room with some republican colleagues who refused to wear a mask.

what is it like to work with so many people who refuse to consider other people's safety during a pandemic? >> well, i think, you know, my good sister, and we're praying for her and her husband's recovery, bonnie watson coleman, said it best. it's an absolute refusal to face the truth. first, the truth of what this pandemic was doing, and the truth of who this president is. that inability to live up to truth and to walk in truth has put all of us in peril up to the objections they did with the electoral college, believing the false notions of him winning the election, and not wearing a mask with the pandemic. as a virgin islanders and a brooklyn girl, i was ready to deal with the crowds ratherthen the virus i couldn't see. >> congresswoman stacey plaskett, thank you for being

with us. >> thank you, and happy mlk day. >> same to you. coming up, some words for whatever is left of the republican party. the gop's actions have been less than grand. and now, they're paying the price. but first, my colleague richard lui with today's other top news stories. richard. >> rev, good day to you. some of the stories we're watching this hour. coronavirus in the u.s., the case numbers now over 23 million, as far as deaths, nearly 400,000. in los angeles county, officials announced ten people every minute are testing positive for the virus. in indonesia's east java province, a massive volcano erupted saturday, spewing lava and ash 3 1/2 miles into the sky, just days after a large earthquake rattled another part of the island nation. be. >> and phil spector has died at the age of 81. he tested positive for covid-19 four weeks ago. he died in a california prison,

there since a 2009 second degree murder conviction. spector invented the wall of sound, a musical ingredient that was common in the 1960s. more "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton right after the break. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

for this week's gotcha, i want address the republican party. you like to call yourself the party of lincoln, but your unconditional allegiance to the outgoing president over the last four years would have honest abe turning in his grave. and it has led you to the principle of your own intraparty civil war. let's start with a quick recap of the last few months in the

gop. the president lost his re-election bid in november. many republicans spread his election fraud lies. those republicans sued to overturn the election. those republicans lost over 60 court cases. and nearly all republicans stood by and supported trump when he solicited states to commit election fraud. then, republicans lost the senate in the georgia runoffs, all leading up to january 6th, when this president repeated his big lie of a stolen election then directed his followers toward the capitol, where they interrupted the constitutionally mandated counting of the electoral votes with an insurrection that lasted for hours. and left at least five people dead. and even as republicans in congress huddled in safe rooms with their workplace under siege by violent insurrectionists,

most of them still refused to criticize the president who incited the riot. now, republicans are calling for unity. to avoid having to vote on impeachment. the self-identified party of lincoln calling for unity with insurrectionists, and it's causing a major split in the party. as a few republicans still in possession of any principles came out in favor of impeachment or at least the very least signaled their willingness to listen to the evidence brought to the senate floor. while those who have pledged their loyalty to donald j. trump over country, party, and principle, continue to repeat the big lie. it turns out that continuously lying to the american people, encouraging them to live in an alternative reality where any losses suffered by their preferred candidates are

fraudulent, has consequences. republicans who tell the truth are now being threatened by their constituents. in some cases, egged on by their own colleagues, like freshman congressman madison, who gave a speech encouraging his audience to, quote, lightly threaten their representatives in congress. and so, gop fealty to trump's big lie has led to the party's big rift. ten republicans stood for truth and democracy in voting for the president's impeachment on wednesday. whether this newfound show of backbone is based on morality or simple self-preservation remains to be seen. and whether any senate republicans will follow suit is so far a mystery. it's too little too late for the modern party of lincoln to make a principled stand. as the republicans base descends

deeper into the alternate new reality laid out by trump and embraced by all too many gop officials. this intraparty civil war seems all but certain to rage on, and for many republicans, desperately searching for a way to retreat, examine your culpability. first, you spent four years marching in lockstep with a man who was never shy about his authoritarian ambitions, and now you have been ambushed by your own side. if you like to return to the political battlefield as a respectable party, it's time to clean house. stop indulging the liars, cowards, and opportunists in your ranks and recommit to defending democracy first. otherwise, well, you and your

entire party will end up like the losers of the last american civil war. a disgraceful stain on the history of this great nation. i gotcha. it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto helped people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

welcome back to "politics nation." in a new nbc poll today, nearly 9 out of 10 republicans approve of the president trump's performance in office, even after the attack on capitol hill. and 61% of voters believe biden did win the election fairly, but only 21% of republicans agree. meanwhile, in a new "washington post"/abc news poll, two thirds of americans approve how president-elect joe biden is handling the transition of power leading up to inauguration day. with me now is california's barbara boxer. she served in the house and the

senate for 34 years and is now an adviser to the university of southern california's center for the political future. and barbara comstock, former republican congresswoman from virginia. let me start with you, ms. boxer. in this new nbc news poll, it shows that the overall -- that overall, president trump's job approval rating remains at 43%. a number he hovers around during the majority of his presidency. clearly, his base was and still is undeterred by anything he does or does not do. i mean, what do you make of this? he said when he was running he would shoot somebody in the middle of fifth avenue and not lose any votes. these polls say he may not have been exaggerating. >> well, reverend, here's the thing. there are people who still support this man. but the vast majority don't.

but i think if i could take a minute to speak to those who do, and i would just say, don't allow yourselves to be used. used in this big lie, because it's very, very dangerous. and even the trump administration itself said this was the most secure election in modern history. and in addition to that, we have had 60 courts ruled on by republicans and democratic judges who said there was no fraud, and we see that this big lie is what incited these insurrectionists who caused deaths and destruction and a heartbreaking attack on the citadel of democracy. so don't be used. it's a miserable thing to think you could -- >> mrs. comstock, how much are republicans heading for a bipter

internal showdown about trump, about the future of the party? how much of this is inevitable to you at this point? >> well, there was another poll this weekend that actually shows the president even more unpopular down at 29% overall. and i think down to 60% of republicans. and certainly, in my experiences, and i did not support donald trump in '16 when i was on the ticket, nor did i support him in '20, but i'm still a republican. i support tax cuts. i was happy we a 50/50 senate, that we gained more seats in the house, including more women and minorities. and also that we gained in the state houses. so i think what the party needs to do, and i think the direction we're going is the direction these leaders who did vote for impeachment did, saying we're going to be a party of ideas and principle and accountability. and we're not going to be tied to one person. this is about, you know, the things we care about and the issues we care about, not one

person. and i think you're going to see, as more and more information comes out from his just abominable behavior on january 6th, that you're going to have a pretty quick shrinking of donald trump. he's got a lot of problems with his bankers. the pga has left him. he is losing lots of things, you know, every minute that he's in there. >> why aren't we seeing more republicans come out? i mean, what do they need to see to stand up to this kind -- if they don't care enough about the country, the party, the brand of the party has been severely damaged by this man. what else do they need to see? >> well, i think you're seeing more standing up, and i think in the senate, you're going to see maybe more than you expect for a conviction. i certainly hope he will be convicted in the senate and that they will go forward and have a vote that he cannot run again. i don't want to see him have any kind of access to national

security information now that we know how he behaved over the past two months. and he, as liz cheney so well put, he incited this mob, sent it down pennsylvania avenue. he said he was going to go with them, and now you see all these people arrested saying they were there because of donald trump. so yes, my point is he needs to leave them, but that doesn't mean we need to leave the policies and the things that are working for the american people. and that's why i think we have to have a divorce from the man, and certainly donald trump has gone through a few divorces before. this is going to be another one, and it needs to be quick. >> now, mrs. boxer, there's been a lot of concern about safety leading up to the inauguration date. d.c. will close many roads around the capitol building and the fbi continues to round up those who participated in the attack on the 6th, moving forward. what do you hope to hear in

president-elect biden's speech on wednesday to jump-start the healing process that we need in this country? >> well, i believe joe biden is the person for this moment. given his personal life, given his political life, the ups and downs, the pain he's seen, i think he's going to move to unite us. he won't shrink from talking about the racism. he won't shrink from talking about the economic inequities we have. he won't shrink from talking about the fact that this kind of attack on our democracy can't just be waved away. we need to come together and work toward an america that we always thought we would have, one that is a more perfect union all the time. look, these are tough, tough, tough times. i don't know how many, you know, people could step up in these times, but i know joe biden can.

and lastly, i would say he'll try to heal us. he's going to take on this covid suffering, the racial pain, the political divisions, the economic inequities. he'll be very up front. he grew up in a time when i grew up in politics, and reverend, you did, too, which is you say what you're going to do, and you do it. and he's laid it out, and now he's going to make it happen. that's what i think. >> mrs. comstock, also in this "washington post"/abc poll, let me go back to that. 28% of americans say that president trump was not at all responsible for inciting the violence that occurred at the capitol. how will republicans be able to distance themselves from this far right wing of the party if some of your own former colleagues in the house still remain loyal to all things trump? >> well, i think they're going to have to speak truth to that. i think you're going to see a

lot of republicans be able to work with joe biden, certainly mitch mcconnell has that relationship. i think on racial injustice issues, you're going to see people like tim scott, who has been a leader on that, senator tim scott, step up. on health care issues, certainly on covid, and getting the vaccines out quickly, susan collins has always been a leader on health care, and she'll be there again. lisa murkowski, you know, then you also have national security matters, liz cheney, who has always stood up for what she thinks is right, but then also, adam kinzinger and you saw peter meyer, both of these men who are -- who have served in the military, who have a very strong sense of our national security and doing the right thing on that front. so i think it's going to be finding the right partners who want to bring people together. i think we have that. and our party is going to have to move back to ideas and away

from a cult of personality. that doesn't mean we want to leave any voter or any constituency behind in this country. we need to bring people together and heal, and i think we're going to have more centrist policies going forward. we're 50/50 in congress and around the country, and that means grown-ups who want to legislate and bring people together need to be at the forefront. and i think we have those people on both sides. >> all right. barbara boxer and barbara comstock, and mrs. comstock, when barbara boxer says that president-elect biden and she and i grew up in the same era of politics, she neglected to say we all started very, very young. we were teenagers. that doesn't make us old. thank you both for being with us. >> exactly. >> coming up, the state of race relations in america. i'll speak to martin luther king jr.'s eldest son and heir to his human rights struggle. his namesake, about the threats to our civil liberties then and now. more after the break.

in the midst of one presidency ending and a new one beginning on wednesday, tomorrow, the nation memorializes its modern founding father. the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. would have turned 92 this weekend. more than 50 years passing since his assassination, but his words

and warnings are as timely as ever. and while our lawmakers insist that the horror we saw at the capitol does not reflect this country, one wonders what dr. king would think of that generous assessment. there are few people on the planet that has any idea equipped to answer what way his father would be moving and which way he would expect us to move than my next guest, civil rights, human rights activist, the heir to dr. king, martin luther king iii. martin, let me first say that we know an idealogical jumble of far right extremists flourished under president trump and claimed new energy in the last four years and experts are warning the capitol attack will serve as an organizing and recruitment tool for years to come. you have been fighting hate all

your life, as did your father and mother. what can be done to stop right-wing extremists from recruiting, in your opinion? >> you know, i think when you change the climate and you change the attitudes of people and the attitudes are changed by what they are hearing, we have had four years of a mobilizer and organizer to talk about disruption with the commander in chief that is going out of office in just the next couple days. when the people hear a different voice, a voice that automatically reaches out to its adversaries and says look, you may not agree with me, but i'm the president of the united states, and i intend to lead all of the people, and so there's a place for you. now, not necessarily under the auspices of what you think, but there's a place for you if you would like to be engaged. so i think that, number one,

begins to change the tune. dad used to say, as you know, we have to find out of a mountain of despair a stone of hope, and he and his team created the condition in our nation to look at things with a different and fresh perspective. i think that's what's needed now more than ever, even though you have people who seem from some perspectives to be illogical. at some point, that's got to change. >> i know that your work has been clearly for decades now continuing, and that's why i'm not being just cute with words when i say an heir, because your work has really been an extension of your dad's work and your mom's work. and has been global. i know that, you know, i call you about election results, and you are as concerned about what's going on with bobby wine and uganda and the election as you are what happens in the

georgia runoff, because that's just the way you have been raised and molded to be, but how do you think we look? no one i can think of knows the human rights global look better than you. how do we look to the world when you see the capitol of the united states under siege the day they're there to certify a democratic election? >> well, you know, how we look is beyond terrible. we look like we are not an heir of democracy. we look like we're trying to create a totalitarian government and people are embracing it. that's why it is so refreshing that americans came together, over 81 million americans, and elected president-elect biden and vice president-elect harris, because we are going to now see what real leadership looks like, and to be able to restore democracy, not just within our own nation, so the world will respect us again, because at this point, we have zero

respect. we look like pygmies, quite frankly. not the giant we should be. >> i got to know your mother because of you. you kind of hooked us up. i know i did not know your father. i saw him a couple times, i was very young. and i couldn't help but think when we had the commitment march last august and over 200,000 people, and no violence, not one arrest, everyone covid-19, but also what would have made your mother proud, and your father, is to see you and your daughter stand right where your father stood and make speeches to the masses of people who were outraged, and rightfully so, as you and i are, about all of the litany of cases last year. yet, you set a tone. you kept saying to me, while you and i organized it and co-chaired it, we have to set a tone, and the tone must be that we must be outraged but not

become like those we fight, and it worked. we had that mass of people and not one incident. >> that is absolutely correct, rev. i think that is, again, what i'm saying about what we're seeing in the country now. it's how you choose to set the tone. and the president-elect and the vice president-elect will set the tone. president-elect will set the tone by his remarks on inauguration day. and i am convinced that while it's not going to happen overnight, it's going to take some time to restore and bring democracy back to what we all know it should be, but that tone will be set. when you look at all the many issues that have to be addressed in this nation, whether it's police brutality and misconduct, whether it's climate change, whether it is getting the economy back being built, which would be a jobs and infrastructure program that

would create millions of jobs, when people are able to provide food for their families and provide for themselves, they respond in a different way. and we expect that to be the case. we see a diverse cabinet coming in. all kinds of things that are going to happen that set us back in the direction that we need to be going in. >> now, one of the other things that i just want to bring up is people don't understand the pain that your family had to go through, your father being assassinated, before that, living under threat. the pain that your mother had to deal with him being stabbed, house being bombed. they look at the celebrity side, but they don't know what you and bernice, your preaching sister, my favorite preacher, dexter, had to go through, even 53, 54 years later, people try to scandalize the name, and yet you have had to hold that dignity

and raised young yolanda to raise her head up and shield her. the pain and suffering to be a king is far underestimated because people look at the holiday, but they don't know the days that y'all have to go through, and your mother had to fight to get the holiday. >> there's no question, and rev, you know, we've been taught not to focus on the pain and the victimization. but to focus on the victories. and that's what we work all the time trying to create, victories throughout our nation and our world for all of god's children. that's what we hopefully are raising yolanda to do as well. because yes, you can be miserable and upset and be hurt all the time, and yes, that is real. that's a real human emotion, but you know, it's just like people say, you focus on the burden, is it a burden? no, i don't look at it as a burden being martin luther king

iii. i look at it as a blessing, a tremendous blessing. i hope i'm disseminating love every day throughout my life because that's what dad was about, what mom was about, what my grandfather and grandmother were about, and i hope that's what yolanda continues to be about. that's what we are what we're t raise her to be. >> that's what anandrea is abou. thank you for your time tonight on the eve of king holiday. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. oliday up next, my final thoughts stay with us
