virginia, pennsylvania. you have maryland police. you have maryland national guard and virginia national guard all over here. there's a lot of action. there's still some small protest groups around. we had a couple trucks go by with trump flags on them. just over there we're hearing reports of a suspicious package. the bomb squad is there. the question you ask is the main question. the rest of us knew a lot of people were descending on d.c. we knew and were signalled by donald trump that they were going to march to the capitol. it caught folks at the capitol off guard. the sergeant of arms has offered his resignation. the chief of capitol police has not. nance pelosi is calling for that. at the moment there's some action around here. a lot of police and a lot of national guard. the rest of d.c. looks like a ghost town. everybody else disappeared. a lot of people were day trippers for this yesterday. as soon as the curfew was imposed last night at 6:00 p.m., most people chaleared out. d.c. looks unusually quiet with a heavy police military and security presence aroun

we now know that about 200 state troopers from the virginia national garreed are move -- guard are moving in to washington d.c. and at the moment, i want to really stress this remains calm, and you can see markets are not shaken. they may be a little stirred at the moment, but the dow is still up 445 points. the transports still gaining 334 points. the s&p 500 up 27. just checking, i believe that would be just below a record. the s&p needs to see a gain of 29 for a record. so that in and of itself is quite stunning, that we are looking at a dow record and a russell 2000 record when we see something that this nation has not seen before, and that is that this huge group of protesters and trump supporters have been allowed to get as close and then on the inside. do we have edward lawrence at the moment? can we, can we get edward lawrence? >> reporter: yes. liz: okay. edward, can you tell me now what you're hearing? >> reporter: about which situation, what's going on right now inside the u.s. capitol is that capitol police are systematically trying to go through and move some of those people

to the situation in washington, d.c per the mayor's request, he is sending members of the virginia national guard along with 200 virginia state troopers. this comes in response to a reporting from nbc's garrett haake that speaker pelosi had requested the national guard's involvement to clear the halls of the capitol and to restore order on the grounds of the capitol during this incredibly sensitive day. it's worth noting also, as we talked about, the security situation and hearing from general mccaffrey about the lack of security readiness at the capitol. this has been a point of contention, and a point of debate for recent weeks, especially after the summer months when we saw national guard involvement in protests, riots, looting on the streets of washington, d.c. in response to some of those black lives matter and social unrest movements. and that there had been a lot of talk about the potential politicization of using the military in some of these ways and just a couple of days ago, over the weekend, there had been an op-ed in "the washington post" by all ten living former defense secretaries,

national guard members and state police are patrolling the state capitol. crews have boarded up the capitol building in richmond, virginia. virginia national guard is on stand by amid fears of violent protests there. california's governor activated the national guard to sacramento in order to deal with protests in that capitol there. perhaps they put up a six foot high fence in an attempt to deter protesters. perhaps no state is bracing for violence like michigan which already saw armed protests last year over the governor's covid restrictions. the same governor who was later a target of an alleged kidnapping plot. officials have built a fence around the capitol in lansing and earlier this week a state commission made it illegal to openly carry weapons in the capitol. in a moment i'll be speaking with michigan's attorney general but right now we'll check in with dasha burns. she is in lansing. nothing like a good snowstorm that might deter some violent protesters. >> reporter: welcome to a snowy, slushy day here in michigan. we are right at the state capitol. you mention that fence going up. you can see it right there. i

and he is spending members of the virginia national guard along with 200 virginia state troopers. i want to get your take on the security around the capitol today. how did this happen? >> i have no idea. i mean, they had to anticipate that people would be coming from the trump rally. i mean, how do you let people breach the senate floor and the house floor and run wild in statutory hall. i don't understand it. i know we have dedicatedrisking lives, so i don't want to judge them, but i don't understand it. >> and a whole bunch much people who used to work for the president are saying that he has to do more.much people who used to work for the president are saying that he has to do more. the president's tweet is not enough. tell them to go home. kellyanne conway is asking for it to be stopped, brad parscale saying this is not maga. ivanka trump saying this needs to stop immediately. but the president is doing nothing. it is a bit chilling. >> i don't get it. >> do you really not get it after all of this? >>s if t it is the fundamental that the objectors make. you can stoke the outra

and a current member of the virginia national guard, jacob fracker and a fellow police officer were arrestedrged in participating with the riots. michael sherwin -- >> we don't care what your profession is, who you are or are affiliated with, if you are found to have taken part in cross-examine activity, we will find you and i will be arrested. judy: when president elect joe biden tarks target -- takes charge next week he'll also be facing the enormous problem of the coronavirus. yesterday he put forth a plan. his $1. trillion plan includes $1,400 in additional direct payments to taxpayers. $400 per week in unemployment benefits through september. $400 billion to help fight covid-19 and reopen schools and $440 billion in aid for states, cities and small businesses. last night he spoke about the urgent need for the federal government to help stemfurment economic fallout from the crisis. >> i know what i just described does not come cheaply but failure to do so will cost us dearly. the consensus among leading economists is we simply cannot afford not to do what i'm proposing. if we invest now

and, a current member of the virginia national guard, jacob fracker, and a fellow police officer wereted and charged with participating in the riots. acting u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, michael sherwin. >> we don't care what your profession is, who you are, who you are affiliated with. if you were conducting or engaged in criminal activity we will charge you and you will be arrested. >> schifrin: and the "new york >> woodruff: besides these immediate security concerns, when president-elect joe biden takes office next week, he will also be facing the enormous challenge of the coronavirus pandemic. last night, biden unveiled a major legislative package to address the twin health and economic crises thatave spun from the pandemic. his $1.9 trillion plan includes $1,400 in additional direct payments to taxpayers; $400 per week in unemployment benefits through september; $400 billion to help fight covid-19 and reopen schools; and $440 biion in aid for states, cities and small businesses. last night, he spoke about the urgent need for the federal government to help stem furth

two rocky mount, virginia police officers arrested jacob fracker is also a corporal in the virginia national guard. new video shows the violence at the capitol. a police officer shoved, punched and yelled at by a rioter and this moment, d.c. officer michael fanone beaten by the angry mob. >> it looked like a medieval battle scene. some of the most brutal combative's ever encountered. >> help! >> reporter: another d.c. officer, daniel hodges, thought he was going to die. >> this doorway. overnight police releasing a photo of the man that pinned hodges. >> that many people yelling in the tunnel is extremely loud, you know. it was just a sensory overload but all i knew was that no one was getting by me. >> reporter: backup is now here, 25,000 national guard troops are expected by inauguration day and they have been told they could use deadly force if necessary. at least ten states have activated national guards in their capital cities. eva? >> kenneth, that video hard to watch. thank you for that report. >>> now to the presidential transition. president trump planning a farewell event while how to pr

national guard into the district? >> so, with respect to the maryland national guard, jake, when i first found out that they had been contacted by d.c., both virginia and maryland, i reached out to both virginia and maryland national guard at 3:55 in the afternoon that i actually spoke with their general and at that time they told me they were assembling 100 national guardsmen at their armory southwest of baltimore. he told me it would be eight to ten hours, which is our normal planning factor when we talk about our national guard response force, before they could get into washington, d.c. and so from 4:00, eight to ten hours after that, it actually wasn't until 11:00 p.m. that evening that unit was fully assembled and ready to go. another thing to add in there, when they come into an environment like that, we need to make sure we in-process them, make sure they're properly equipped and also that we brief them so they know exactly what they're going to be asked to do. once again, so they could be part of the solution and not add any further chaos into the situation they're entering. >> i certainly respect that but, listen, men and women join the na

is going to send security reinforcement to virginia at the mayor's request, sending in the virginia national guarda security disaster here in the nation's capital. the fact that it was so easy for these protesters to breach those security defences, but they had come from a rally in which donald trump had been goading protesters, really, and saying they would never concede and he would even meet them down there i capitol hill. here he is speaking at a rally just a couple hours ago in which he called the protesters patriotic and said they should make their voices heard at capitol hill.” said they should make their voices heard at capitol hill. i know everyone heard at capitol hill. i know everyone here will sue be marketing to the capitol building —— will soon be. to patriotically make your voices heard today, we will see whether republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong for our country. i want to thank you all. god bless you and god bless america. thank you offer being here. that was donald trump speaking, a speech in which he really went to war w

the virginia national guard culture last week was arrested or his activity inside the capital.ere others who were likely to be arrested as well. >> bill: i spoke to the general in charge, ben reported that there are no inside addresses, is that necessary? >> i don't have any indication that there's been a specified threat at all dealing with the inauguration. there were specified threats for the january 6 rally. so yes, what is happening here is what i suggested. they are erring on the side of being over prepared because january 6 was such a humiliating embarrassment for the united states just from a security perspective alone and no one wants a repeat of that in the nation's capital, and the most respected democracy in the world. >> bill: you know they reported the proud boys were online for a month talking about january 6th and the field office with the fbi sent a cable up the line and i don't know what happened to that, but no one took action. does that make you wonder that we are really not getting the answers here? >> it was discussed and shared at the joint task force we

national guard activated, along with the national guard from virginia. and police from virginia and maryland. >> the behavior that we are witnessing is shameful, unprat yotic and above all, it is unlawful. >> reporter: many comparing the lack of response today to the forceful response by law enforcement to the protests this summer at lafayette square. and this image. the national guard deployed and ready for black lives matter protests. >> yeah, we have seen that presence before, why didn't we see it today? and pierre, i know this curfew is in place, put into place by the washington, d.c. mayor. but there are still concerns as we head into this night. >> reporter: david, officials are really concerned about tonight. as the crisis on capitol hill continues, pro trump protesters right now are posting threats of violence and incitement online on channels used by organizations like the proud boys, white supremacists and other extremists. the posts, which i'm not going to include here, call for violence against vice president pence and speaker pelosi specific

so virginia, maryland, national guard -- i bet you're going to hear on the national guard coming from around the country to have a physical presence, to essentially make sure that mobs cannot form. individuals may still be around, but you just don't want 10, 20, 30 men who potentially can be armed. we're also going to have to ramp up intelligence, see who's coming into the city. but basically you start from the belief that something bad could happen and work your way backwards. i don't know what happened with the intelligence in this case. i'm not reading classified information anymore, and i was starting to get agitated by what was going to happen that the capitol police and others seemed so off guard is a feel your not only for us, but for them. they lost someone. the pictures that we're showing now show a really terrifying few hours. i don't think any of us had any idea the day of. >> i agree. on capitol police, jim clyburn suggested capitol police were complicit in striking language. let me play for you what he said. >> the joint session of congress to count the electoral vote wil

of two off-duty virginia cops arrested for breaking into the capitol, is a corporal in the virginia national guardarmy is still trying to determine the current status of thomas robertson who apparently served as different times both for the national guard and reserves. cbs news has learned videos like this drew immediate scrutiny because they mirror tactics used by law enforcement and the military to navigate hostile or unknown environments. what are small unit tactics? >> you know, small unit tactics are ways that military can blanket and -- and communicate and try to get to a primary target that they have. >> reporter: frank cilluffo is a former senior homeland security official. >> this isn't out of a basement. this isn't playing a whole lot of video games. this is something that there was some training here. there's no question. >> reporter: once the capitol was breached, cbs news has learned a d.c. police officer witnessed some rioters using military-style hand signals to communicate. >> it would not be unusual for people to come up with physical signals such as tapping them, pulling on them,

that had ammunition that caused mass evacuations and we have 1,100 members of the dc national guard, maryland, virginia police on the move and news tonight about another governor sending in members of the national guard to help secure the u.s. capitol. jeff pegues has been on the streets of washington with all of this new reporting we should remind everyone the nation's capitol has been under curfew for more than three and a half hours now by the mayor of the city and is until tomorrow morning and jeff, thank you for your reporting and tell us what you know. >> well, norah, at this hour, the streets have been cleared, people have been forced to observe this curfew because you have seen now we have a larger law enforcement presence, much different scene than what it was earlier tonight, but throughout the week, there had been this concern about security in this area based on the amount of people coming to the district, at mr. trump, president trump's urging so we had the national guard that was coming in and asked to help respond and local law enforcement and federal law enforcement provide help as well

and the capitol police are overwhelmed to some degree such that virginia governor set in the national guard and federal troops numbering from 1100 they cleared things. we have the reporting of our senior justice department correspondent pete williams that one person, a woman was killed during this demonstration. we believe the victim of a gunshot wound, we do not know the circumstances. police reported of five weapons and 13 people arrested at this moment, i want to go to eamon javers for an update the curfew is in place right now, do you know if it is holding? >> we can see from the images we are looking at is the capitol hill cleared the stairwells on the west front of the capitol. that's where the inauguration of the president of the united states would happen, that's where president trump was inaugurated. they now have the capitol building itself secured. we are looking at some of the political ramifications rolling out, we are seeing calls from a number of democrats on capitol hill for the immediate impeachment based on his conduct today and we are seeing house democratic leaders, this

national guard, which has been reluctant to get involved, were mobilized. 1100 national guardsmen are now mobilized. 6,000 national guardsmen from pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, delaware, virginia, maryland, and out joining 400 members of the virginia street e troopers. never thought he would see a day like this in america. the mob was estimated 40,000 strong. a statement from the acton defense chief christopher miller said he and the joint chiefs of staff, spoke to the vice president, speaker pelosi, leader mcconnell, and other congressional leaders. president trump was not on those phone calls. secretary jim mattis blasted president trump and blamed him for the violence. "today's violent assault on our capital and effort to subjugate american response eddi democrac- destroy trust in our election and fellow citizens have been enabled by pseudo-political leaders whose names will live in infamy in profiles of cowardice. our constitution, our public, will overcome this stain. we the people come together again, neve never ending efforto preserve a more perfect union while mr. trump will be left a man without a country." a former officer and iraq war veteran tim condon said "it is

virginia. you see the national guard and police up there. you really cannot come into d.c. from virginia on any of four bridges in this area, which is an extraordinary security measure. these are very heavily trafficked bridges, about 800,000 cars a day are going over these four bridges, and we can also show you further examples of how movement is restricted here. you've seen a couple civilians on a bike and running but other than this little area here, you can't get anywhere near the lincoln memorial. look at the fencing, another checkpoint just to the right over there. the entire national mall is shut down to civilian traffic. you cannot get really any further than that point on to the national mall here as inauguration day approaches. they're pushing the perimeters further and further out from the center of the city. movement inside the city is very, very restricted. roads are closed all over the place. again, this is an abundance of caution but you do hear about them vetting national guard members, you hear about these fbi reports that two people have been removed from t

the law enforcement was called in from virginia and maryland, the national guard for the d.c. and for other areas, brought to the capitol. they've pushed the protesters back off of the capitol grounds. the speaker of the house is saying that they will reconvene tonight to continue with the counting of the votes. and they will do so in the senate as well. the minority leader telling reporters in the senate, chuck schumer, that the plan is for 8:00 p.m. eastern. we are approaching 7:00 p.m. here on the east coast. i want to share this tweet from daily caller. they sent out a quote from liz cheney, who was on fox news, the republican of wyoming, and part of the house republican leadership, quote, we just had a violent mob assault the u.s. capitol. no question the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob, the president addressed the mob. he lit the flame. brad in august done, utah. we'll go to you. caller: thank you for having me. i'm sure you didn't imagine the burden of today's heinous events would fall on you to fill the time until we figure this stuff out. but t

national guard here. we have heard from d.c. mayor muriel bowser that the national guard is on its way and that state police from maryland and virginia will also be coming here to help, but i have to tell you that police are way outnumbers here by this pro-trump group that essentially has taken over the capitol. there is more police presence ramping up here as night falls on washington, but this group seems to be in it for the long haul and it seems like this will last well after sunset. wolf? >> do we know, pete, if there are still any of these rioters roaming around inside the house or the senate, the u.s. capitol, as we saw these ugly pictures emerge over the past couple of hours? >> i cannot speak to that, wolf. there are plenty of people still outside here tonight and i'm sure plenty of people would like to be inside, especially considering the fact that it's going to be 30 degrees in washington tonight. this is not going to be easy for the folks who are out here, but they shouldn't be here. this is a spot where you can't be, as an everyday person, as a civilian. this is a spot that's very closed down, just above the capitol vis

there has been a reaching out, not only national guard, but virginia police, maryland police. karl: everything you just can't independently confirm. i have every good reason to believe your reporting is correct, that the neighbors of the district of columbia -- we have a pretty close knit neighborhood. maryland, virginia, and delaware. these are jurisdictions that intersect together. they are coming to lend a hand because they can see the potential for chaos. some of the groups represented today create havoc through the day, they create mass violence at night. i'm hopeful that doesn't occur, but it is at night's fall when these groups really look to hurt people, property, and symbols of our democracy. david: i'm glad you raised that. we are about 50 minutes away from the curfew mayor bowser called. two we have any indication if that -- do we have any indication if that curfew will hold? karl: let me reiterate that, if you are not an essential worker, and i am talking about law enforcement, security detail and the like, you need to be home by 6:00 p.m. and not on the streets of

virginia and maryland. to the federal law enforcement officers and national guards and secret service. and all the other professionals who help subdue the criminals and secure the capitol on the sixth and working together to protect peace and order. and tomorrow the president and vice president will swear their oath of office and they will also do so safely and securely because so many brave men and women have sworn their own paths -- oaks to support and defend our great nation. we salute you all. >> the senate returns to session today for what will be a very busy and consequential period. tomorrow we will celebrate one of democracy's core attributes, the peaceful transfer of power, albeit under much different circumstances than most americans are used to. rioters, insurrectionists, white supremacist, and domestic terrorists tried to prevent the transfer of power. they were incited by none other than the president of the united states. they have failed. though they have made the transition of power anything but peaceful, democracy's oldest and most revered tradition, the peaceful passi

national guard. a police officer from virginia who is not on active duty as part of the national guard. he was off duty. he went inside. he took pictures of himself and he subsequently got arrested. so someone said, let's find out about all the other people who were on the outside of the perimeter and whether or not they're safe. so that's a concern. i will tell you this. the tension level has come down in the last couple days as police and authorities have a grip around the city. it is very unusual, very weird to be in d.c. and have it shut down. this is not what an inauguration typically looks like for an american president. the bottom line is it does look like authorities, national guard and police have got a handle on the immediate area around the capitol. there are a lot of comparisons. take a look at 2017. as is tim cal in these situations, the closures change. i was about to do my report with you from another corner and the police decided that corner is now off limits and it is closed so that stymies the kind of planning that any nare-do-wells may have. >> it feels like anything

, there are state police from new jersey, from maryland, from pennsylvania, from virginia and then there's national guard. but even within the confines of the capitol we've had the resignation of the sergeant-at-arms and the resignation of the chief of the capitol police now, that had been called for by nancy pelosi she didn't get a call back from him. she didn't get a response from the chief of the capitol police. the head of the union also implied that the leadership of the capitol police had failed. when you look at some of the video from yesterday that are emerging, some of the different angles you can see what seems to be a woefully unprepared group of police dealing with these crowds coming in, crowds that had been, you know, talked about for several days, we knew they were coming in we knew they had come into washington so woefully unprepared on that side. there are as you said at least 56 injuries among members of the capitol police, we are trying to get updates on the condition of those officers but the bottom line, they've now put up a perimeter. you can't see it from here, basically where you

where law enforcement around the greater beltway region, maryland, virginia, delaware, both state law andrcement, regional police national guard resources, we of peoplet a number into the area so we can start clearing people out of the capital in the most efficient manner, and at the same time taking up perimeter around the capital. we also have to be prepared for other protests and challenges in the region in the next couple days. we clearly need to surge resources and have a unified command working on various problems going forward. romaine: the question people have is why wasn't that done prior? >> i cited 2020. one thing that will happen is there will be an after action review. what was the intelligence known and should have been known? what was the resources deployed? know only from national news sources of what was building up this week, i imagine -- i would have had visible security resources, limited access control, and large numbers of rapid response teams that could surge with withrs to platoons officers in riot gear who are trained to keep crowds back on standby at a moment's notice. i don't know why that didn't hap

more than 6,000 members of the national guard from washington dc, virginia maryland pennsylvania, new jersey delaware and new york will all be deployed to the area by this weekend. but this morning questions continue as to how insurgents so easily breached security there at the capitol crawford's theresa stasi, a talk local security experts including a former fbi agent about what went wrong. >>i suspect is more of story about what happened because it's is unprecedented. >>former fbi agent and head of a local private security firm, rick smith, sharing his expertise on the capital mayhem on wednesday and how it went so wrong so quickly they weren't prepared. i don't know how it happened honestly. you know there's no excuse for they overpowered of added too much to many people they the un also there wasn't a standby contingent you know the with the national guard was an outside the gate. they were right there, someone said to me well there should have been more arrests. well if you're not prepared for a demonstration. you're certainly not prepared to make arrests and deal with the logist

virginia suburb helps out d.c. police quite a bit. i think in this case, you saw the deployment of state police officers and even the national guard under control of their governors in virginia and maryland moving quite quickly to help d.c. address this issue. it should be said that the d.c. police, the mpd, they deal with large-scale protests on a weekly basis, if not a daily basis. that is not uncommon here. and even the handoff between them and the capitol police isn't the kind of thing that should have caused this breakdown today that led to this situation where so many people were able to get into the capitol. it is not unusual to see giant protests across the district handled very professionally by this alphabet soup of law enforcement agencies. what happened today is just an incredibly unusual breakdown, and it's going to need to be thoroughly investigated. it's just not normal. these law enforcement agencies have too much experience with events just like this all the time. >> garrett haake, don't go anywhere. we're going to bring into our conversation right now california congresswoman linda sanchez. she's calling us from her of
