there's michelle obama, former first lady and the former president arriving there at the capitol. masks in place. capitol where baracks in 2008. david muir he sent out a tweet to the new incoming president. >> it was simple, but it said it all. barack obama tweeting congratulations to my friend, president joe biden. this is your time he said. it was so powerful to hear joe biden say in the last 24 hours he remembers back in the inauguration 2009 that a black man, picking him up to take him to the capitol to make history with him. joe biden talked about his mother. there's the image that barack obama tweeted out. his mother who when joe biden was deciding whether to say yes to be president obama's vice president, she said wait a minute, first black man to be president and you're even considering this. game, set match, the answer is yes. hillary clinton saying this morning i can't wait to call him president biden. it was her instagram post yesterday, a photo of kamala harris and she said let's sit with this for a moment. tomorrow kamala harris will be the first woman sworn in as vice president of the united states. wit

, come to the capitol to, you know, honor the very first statue of a black person in the capitol and barack obamark side and said we need more than lofty words. barack obama is the president. it's 2013. we need more than left words. literally across town that day as they are honoring the statue about talking about what a great vision, what a great people, across the country and across town the supreme court is hearing the voting rights action challenge literally across town, and president obama ends the day andy will talks about her singular act of courage. the president of the united states who could do more than lofty words, who had said that was what it meant to honor rosa parks when she died has this opportunity and again gives us lofty words so i guess i wanted us to talk more about the split screen. >> i think that there is -- america has this ability, a far more potent ability which is to say britain which is where i'm from if you haven't guessed is to discharge the past and to travel light from its history. britain kind of slips into its past like an old man in a warm bath it. kind of clo

traditional transfer of power, i can remember four years ago beyond the east side of the capitol when president barack obama took off in the helicopter and came over here and flew off to california. that's not happening this time around because president trump is not going to attend the inauguration. but here's what's very surprising, george, look at this empty space right here. there were supposed to be some estimates up to 500 trump supporters here to say good-bye to president trump. right now there's nobody. it is still early. it is still pretty cold out here. we are expecting some supporters but for someone who valued crowd support, for someone who had to feed off a crowd if president trump gets over here and this space is pretty empty, it's going to be quite the sight, george. so so many different things right now a send-off like we've never seen before and what we expect to hear from the president is a little from what we heard in his video yesterday, he's going to thank the people who helped him out, he's going to thank the country but he's also going to say this is not the end of his political movem

that compares with 340 unarmed guardsmen on duty when the capitol was stormed and 9500 at barack obama'st telling comparison. 25,000 is five times the number of troops in iraq and afghanistan. >> since 9/11, we have been focused on the threat of islamist terror, which is still a threat. but we need to recognize that in this country, the challenge that we have is one of home grown terror. >> jonathan said that the wave of arrests that followed the storming of the capitol will not stop the protests. >> for them, the arrests are like a kind of martyrdom, they see it as a necessary step and they are able to glorify themselves even when they are detained in the way. >> it's taking place on social media. the same place terrorist groups like isis got their start. what are you seeing on social media some. >> i'm seeing the same thing the fbi is seeing, all the lights blinking red. a number of different groups all gatheri iing around the idea of coming to the capitol on january 20th. >> he said that many of them don't care they have almost had no chance of stopping the inauguration. >> there's a

decades-long tradition of the outgoing president leaving from the steps of the capitol, as the trumps did with former president barack obama, instead president trump wants an elaborate sendoff. sources say he's requested a red carpet and a military band. by the time president-elect joe biden takes the oath of office, trump plans to be out of washington and on his way to mar-a-lago. despite the threats, the inauguration will still take place outdoors in the same location of that deadly riot. >> do you feel safe about wednesday based on the intelligence that you've seen? >> yes. >> reporter: and we're learning more about how the ceremony will unfold. supreme court justice sonia sotomayor swearing in kamala harris as the nation's first female vice president. she swore in biden as vice president in 2013. >> let's get right to rachel now at the white house tonight. rachel, what are you learning about the president's legal strategy for his second impeachment trial? we did see rudy giuliani there at the top of your story. >> reporter: well, tom, at this point there is no clear legal strategy coming from the president, and that im

that compares with 340 unarmed gar guardsmen on duty when the capitol was stormed, and 2500 at barack obama's inauguration. here is the most telling comparison: 25,000 is five times the number of troops in iraq and afghanistan. >> since 9/11, we've been focused on the t threat of islamic terror, which iss still a a threat, butut we need to recognize that in this country, the challenge we have is one of home-grown terror. >> reporter: jonathan greenblatt, c.e.o. of the anti-defamation league, says the wave of unrest with the storming of the capitol will not stop the protests.. >> foor them, the arresests are a a kind of martyrdom. they are able to glorify themselves even when they're detained in this way. >> reporter: it has taken place on social media, the same place that terrorist groups like isis got their start. what are you seeing on social media? >> i'm seeing the same thing that the f.b.i. is seeing, which is all of the lights blinking red. a number of extremist groups all surrounding this idea of coming to the capitol on january 20th. >> reporter: seamus hughes is many don't care they

capitol and so it is a very different type of event. for years in inaugurations in the past, including barack obama's, there was a big military presence. as far as the capitol there has to be changes, perhaps to the perimeter, certainly to how things are handled and plans are made for major events. and so there's going to be a new police chief. there's going to be a new sergeant at arms in both houses. so that is going to happen but it still shouldn't take away from the bravery of many of those officers that day that basically, including one of them that gave his life, another that sadly took his own life, lost his life to suicide, the work that they did that day to protect the members. and so i'm not -- i wasn't scared myself. for me it just shows the fragility of our democracy and i think it was scary for a lot of people at home to be jolted into realizing how we must do everything to safeguard this democracy, especially from a president that set a mob down the mall to invade the capitol. >> let's talk about your message to america on inauguration day. when you deliver those welcome remarks there will not be that sea of americans star

review the military troops on the east front of the capitol before heading to arlington cemetery with two former vice presidents, former president barack obamae there as well, all of them in a united front to pay tribute to our men and women who serve and our veterans. i want to return now to our -- panelists here. we're turning to this idea that president biden has laid out which is not only a very ambitious and progressive agenda that he wants before congress, including one of the first acts, is he's going to ask congress for almost another 2 trillion-dollar so that americans can get another $1,400 check, if they qualify, more money for testing, more money for small businesses, more money for schools. the list goes on. how likely is it that republicans and even mitch mcconnell would go along with that? >> it's like we talked about a little bit earlier in this broadcast, there is -- and i don't want to get into the procedural weeds -- but it's super super important if you care about whether or not this is going to happen or not, the first initiative will be realized or not, in the senate, and the house but particularly the senate if you use

capitol and joined that podium to watch the swearing in. enchanted part of america doesn't matter what party you are, it is a wonderful ceremony. >> dana: barack obama will be announced and just quite a moment. >> it certainly is. this is what we expect to see the former presidents and first ladies gathered on capitol hill. it is a truly historic moment. the transition of power that so many discussed whether or not we could do this peacefully again given the strife that's been going on for the past few months. here we are today. something all americans can be proud of. i can't help but wonder at this moment as president trump is getting closer to his destination in florida whether or not he might have second thoughts wishing he had been part of this moment here on capitol hill and wonder if he is watching from air force one. >> dana: four years ago when it was raining and george w. bush had trouble with the poncho. one of my favorite pictures of him. i can't deal with this poncho here. it says something about our countries we do our inaugust rals outside in january. a gutsy thing to do and i love the traditions. presidents used to be inaugurated in

i remember in january of 2009 when barack obama was sworn in on capitol hill and george bush and the e goodbye to president bush and eight years later, across the street from the white house you see barack obama make the same trip in a similar helicopter, going down to the white house, almost as if one final goodbye from the outgoing president, to see the white house below. a remarkable moment. don't know what path marine one takes, my guess is straight to joint base andrews. with regard to his message today i thought his speech on video yesterday was quite effective to talk about the accomplishments, welcome to the new administration, everything he got done the past four years. he also went to the message he delivered four years ago for his inauguration speech. remember when he talked about american carnage and the forgotten men and women across america his message was you will not be forgotten again as long as he is president. went back to some of those themes yesterday and i thought what if you could rewind the hands of time to the week of november 9th and what if after the electio

biden at the capitol wednesday, former president barack hussein obama also bears his father's name, buthose to add the roman numeral two instead of jr. >> happy birthday -- >> ironically, george w. bush, son of george h.w. bush, was known to family as junior although the middle initials technically keep him out of the presidential junior club. >> there's really no reason for george bush 43 to refer to himself as junior, though of course in natural parlance people look the at the names and said they sounded a like, so often times he was referred to as junior. >> completely understand why they knocked the junior, although all i can think is "raiders of the lost ark" and jun junior! >> i think it sounds cool. vibrant -- >> you could have had a junior. >> i could have. i didn't. sorry, jacquesk -- junior. >>> still to come, it's nfl championship weekend before the bills face off with the super bowl champion chiefs, buffalo's fan base did something that already makes them winners in the eyes of many. we'll explain. >>> for some of you, local news is next. for the rest, stick around, you're w

washington monument not far from the white house all the way up to capitol hill is going to be closed just go back to the inauguration of barack obama and you'll remember the area was covered with millions of people who came here and of course donald trump had a lot of people on the mall as well but not. the size of crowds he spoke about but you see that that is an important gathering pates place for inaugurations that is going to be closed during this is a completely different city and the whole calculus is changed because of what happened just the ago yep it's going to be very different this time around i'll official thanks a lot now u.s. troop levels in iraq and in afghanistan have been cut to the lowest level in nearly 2 decades there are now $2500.00 troops in each country and that's down from more than $4500.00 in afghanistan about $3000.00 in iraq the u.s. had already reduced its numbers in afghanistan from 14000 last year after a deal was made with the taliban at the height of the war with iraq more than 125000 u.s. troops were deployed there while there were over 100000 in afghanistan in 2011 let's wait to go in a correspon

barack obama wrote. this history will rightly remember today's violence at the capitol incited by a sitting president, whoontinued to basically lie about the outcome. of a lawful election. republican leaders can continue down this road or they can choose reality. there are growing questions in washington about whether president trump should be allowed to remain in office for the next two weeks until january. 20th minnesota congress member ilhan omar says she's drawing up articles of impeachment, according to politico, at least 32. other democrats support her idea the idea had began had begun to surface. uh began to serve his brother after the taped phone call where the president pressure georgia's secretary of state, and it was released last weekend, but analysts say with just 14 days left in the term impeachment is unlikely toe happens. our coverage continues throughout the hour, coming up a 10 30. we'll go live to washington, dc, for an update on the curfew being enforced tonight, plus bay area reaction where local republicans stand on what they saw today and attends. 45 the georgia senate races, giving

barack obama wrote. this history will rightly remember today's violence at the capitol incited by a sitting president, who has continued to baseless lee lie about the outcome of a lawful election. republican leaders can continue down this road or they can choose reality, and former president george w. bush also released a statement calling. today's mayhem, a sickening and heartbreaking sight, he wrote. this is how election results are disputed in a banana republic, not our democratic republic. insurrection could do grave damage to our nation and reputation. in the united states of america. it is the fundamental responsibility of every patriotic citizen to support the rule of law. he spake congressman marked a shawnee. i told us that he was in an office near the house floor when he was told to shelter in place because people had broken into the building. i couldn't believe it. i didn't see that because i was off the floor. but we had people we get way could hear voices raised on we have people trying the door. this was a mob. they were there to destroy things. i am turk to try to intimidate us from doing o

lying sack and come up seriously so let's say it's barack obama who says all this 10000 black people show up in washington d.c. and they storm the capitol building and they're armed with guns do you think they'd be called terrorists you better believe it with the helicopters be out you better believe it would they be allowed to do it you know chants so literally it's because of the. who donald trump is who his followers are that they can get away with it and not be considered terrorists if it was black lives matter storming the capitol my god we'd have to batten down the hatches and lock our doors at home wherever we live oh my god the negroes are. writing negroes cannot happen will not happen but these are just aggrieved people who are just they just want to be heard seriously and that's really great way. you had to do want to say anything about that reese during the during the george floyd riot or as they were called right through the george writing there was a phrase that said when the looting starts the shooting starts and that basically quit black or white lies narrow warning that if they were to be cancer any any type of violence

capitol hill, you have worked with four presidents. how would you describe bill clinton, george w. bush, barack obama, and donald trump? rep. king: they are each very different. bill clinton was incredibly smart. i got to work with him very closely on the irish peace process. i was one of the only republicans who voted against impeachment. i spent a lot of time with him. i traveled with him a number of times. it can be very frustrating because you see a guy with all this talent, all this intellect, all this energy, then he gets himself in trouble on issues that have nothing to do with being president. i used to wonder, how would he be if he had no overriding issue? the whole impeachment side, if that were not there, what else could he have done? but then the more i thought about it, maybe he needs that adrenaline rush. i'm not trying to psychoanalyze someone, but he seems to be able to thrive no matter what the circumstances where, usually the more severe they were, the more he was able to function. he is like a human high wire act. but again, i found him to be very friendly. when my mother died, the first two phone calls i

bush, barack obama, all united in their condemnation of what they saw in the capitol today, something no american could ever imagine, the capitol under siege by protesters, rioters, as the certification of the electoral votes for joe biden was opening up. i want to bring in mark, presidential historian. to see those presidents come out one after another, all in stark relief to what we were seeing from the current president of the united states, was something that is almost impossible to imagine, something we have never seen before, a nation that is built around the hallmark of a peaceful transfer of power. >> you're absolutely right, george. i think, frankly, roosevelt said that the presidency is a place preeminently of moral leadership, and we are obviously not seeing moral leadership from our incumbent president. so, our former presidents have stepped up to fill the void, but i'm reminded of the words of another president upon taking office, and that was gerald ford in the wake of watergate, and the resignation of richard nixon in august of 1974. he said, our long, national nightmar
