>> it's certainly concerning, brooke. i just want to say that shimon was just reporting on the west side of the capitol. i am on the east side of the capitol in a traditional residential neighborhood here in the united states of america. and outside my front door i have 12 members of the national guard standing opposed with automatic weapons. >> did you ever in a million years think that you would ever be seeing that? >> it's unbelievable to me. i traveled all over the globe, and this security around the u.s. capitol right now, and that's one thing i really want to drive the point home to your viewers is this isn't security around the capitol itself. this is security around washington d.c. it is 1 00% in residential neighb neighborhoods. it's very surreal and the fact that what happened last week is now emboldening these actors is extremely concerning. i can tell you for certainty that the fbi is 100% all hands on deck. why do i know that? is because throughout the last few days, contacts around the country have called me

so that is the brooks line. my father becomes the first one regularly committed into the military as a commissioned officer through the reserve officer training corps program at virginia state college as it was called then, graduating commissioning into 1954 as a second lieutenant, went into the infantry been changed into the quartermaster corps a little later in his career as a young officer and spent the rest of his career as a logistician. it was his example that opened the door to military service. i grew up in a military family. we moved from place to place like military nomads do. ask for a 9.5 years of service, my father retired my brother and i were in active duty then. the day of his retirement was the same day of my promotion to captain. my brother was already captains at that time having been one year ahead of me in west point in the class of 1979. that is our journey. i have a sister, she is not in the military, but still runs the house, like my mother did until her recent passing. bill: general, you

brooke?ion has better luck in covering this in a matter of days. the first big test for biden in ru russia. opposition leader alexy navalny after being poisoned in august. he had been in germany, recovering after nearly dying from this military-grade nerve agent and all fingers point to russia on that. navalny decided to return and was immediately arrested. fred, on the biden front, can you tell us why this is going to be such a huge foreign policy test for joe biden? >> yeah. certainly it's going to be a huge foreign policy test for the incoming biden administration. you just mentioned part of the reason why. this man is one of the opposition leaders here in russia. he was poisoned by a chemical-grade banned nerve agent and, of course, it was a cnn investigation that identified large parts of the russian intelligence unit behind all of this. essentially in the people widely believed to have poisoned him in the first place and he says that right now what's going on here in russia is a mockery

really confusing, brooke.ou mentioned the phrase, you know, the fbi is reactive and it can be proactive, and i think what they were focusing on was the reactive capacity that they have. at which they excel. if there's one thing the fbi does better than anyone else in the world is solving crimes, and so they are certainly on it. the cases, the charges, but the question that people have is why did you miss this in your proactive capacity before it happened? why wasn't the fbi with it partners able to thwart it, and remember after 9/11 this was the same question, and its ability to enhance its proactive christmas tis was the focus at that time. it is harder to do that when you're purely in a domestic capacity because there are civil liberties concerned that you have to balance, but i think even taking that into account it's hard to understand, especially they acknowledge they had intelligence in their hands why it was not followed up on as andrew mccabe said. the other thing i didn't hear anything about at all, b

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. you've been listening to president-elect joe biden forceful, strong on the violence, the mob, the domestic terrorism we saw this week descending upon the u.s. capitol and also on the current sitting president, president trump. i've got gloria borger and dana bash. ladies, as we walk through all of what we just heard, a couple news nuggets and i want to get to the inauguration and what he said. he was asked point blank, do you support impeachment? we've been hearing that the democrats will be introducing these articles as early as monday. he is essentially saying it's up to congress, right? it seems to me he's not going to lead the charge but he's also not going to get in speaker pelosi's way. secondly, he said there should be a full-blown investigation into the u.s. capitol police, into law enforcement and the failures on so many levels. but, dana, let me begin with you on this third news nugget where we learned today that president trump would not be attending president biden's inaug

i'm brooke baldwin. second, second, these insurrectionists who stormed the u.s. capitol were mere seconds away from the vice president chanting things like hang mike pence. this is the first we're hearing of how dangerously close this mob of trump supporters actually got to the vp. that's all according to "the washington post" today. all of these disturbing new details are coming at federal prosecutors announced that the primary goal of last week's assault on the u.s. capitol and really on america's democracy was to capture and assassinate lawmakers. this also comes as cnn has obtained terrifying new footage here taken just steps from the senate chamber showing the perspective of the rioters who chased that black capitol police officer identified as eugene goodman up the stairs. cnn can't confirm the source of the video but watch and listen for yourself. >> you work for us! >> hey, we're the [ bleep ]! >> don't do it. >> hey. hey. >> we're the [ bleep ]. >> where are they counting? where are they countin

a new guard here, brooke. she's not speaking out just yet but you can be sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes as capitol police no doubt are examining the massive breach, the fact that they might not have had enough manpower on duty and the failure of its officers to forcefully respond to the rioters who invaded the capitol and even attacked officers from the capitol police squad. so chiefch steven sunday has stepped down. the first african-american supervisor to attain the rank of captain will replace him. there's talks of further attacks that persist online and the capitol complex is being fortified. you can see the seven-foot high non-scaleable fences out there, all ahead of the inauguration next week. next week d.c.'s mayor murual bowser is asking the president to declare a pre-emergency disaster declaration in order to secure more funding, asking people to stay out of d.c. and asking the department of the interior to deny requests for permits for all protests. several permits were issued last jan

mel brooks? mel brooks. blah has mel brooks done to appeal to fascists. >> come and join the nazi party. > okay, but unlikelet property he was joking. another profile in jello is south carolina senator and denethor with a haircut, lindsey graham. immediately after wednesday's violent putsch, graham came back out of the senate safe-bunker and took to the floor to let everyone know that he's against almost being killed. >> all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> stephen: ( as graham ) "i have searched my conscience, examined my values, and i have come to the profound realization that i enjoy breathing. graham out!" except, graham back in. because yesterday, lindsay flew on air force one with the president to his speech. so, six days after taking what seemed like a stand, he hopped on the president's plane? ( as graham ) "okay, somebody stuff me in the overhead compartment. good thing my spine folds so easily and i contain less than three ounces of courage." oh, hi. we've got a great show for you to

this is such a perfect brooks story. marathon you ran -- well, just talk us through how it came about. >> here's how it happened real quick. okay, drunk with my friend, adds up i said, "i don't think marathons are hard." he said, "that can't be true." i said, "i'll run one tomorrow for $500." he said, "deal." this is at maybe 1:00 in the morning. so at noon i go to run my marathon >> seth: so this was just -- you were going to run for 26 m so i do -- i go and i -- but before we left, he decided i need to run it under the average, which i did not sign up for. i didn't think i could do that then we looked it up oprah runs the average i felt like i could beat oprah no offense to oprah, i just feel like i should be faster than her. so i go and i do it. i do it in 4 hours and 16 minutes and it's not that hard and i -- and i brag about it and i say, "marathons aren't hard. but cut to a few days later. i destroyed my knee. i got iliotibial band syndrome, and i couldn't walk for about six months so they are hard, and i'm a liar

brooks has pointed out. maria: mo brooks your final word here.ean, what is this going to look like? if you're going to object to six states and then you've got a two -hour debate, we're not going to learn the results here until, well we're not going to learn on january 6 that's for sure, this goes into january 7, tell me how this plays out, because you've got to get the majority of the house and senate to go along where you are. >> well, how it plays out quite frankly is dependent upon the american people. this is an organic movement that has risen up from angry american voters 70-plus million who have been disenfranchised by voter fraud and election theft. to the extent they contact their senators and their congressman, and demand honest and accurate elections, then we're going to win this fight on january 6. but if the american people do not rise up if they don't contact their senators if they don't contact their congressman, demanding that their congressman and senators do the right thing for our republic then we're not going to win on january

i'm brooke baldwin. thanks for being with me. this hour president biden will sign another executive order. if you are keeping track, he has signed more than 30 thus far in his first five days in office. this one today is aimed at strengthening the government's rules to buy american products, but over on capitol hill you have two battles unfolding that could really set the tone for the president's relationships with republicans in his first 100 days in office. this evening the house is set to deliver the article of impeachment against former president donald trump to the senate. trump's second impeachment trial is scheduled to start in just two weeks but the number of republican senators opposing that trial is growing, as is the number of moderate republicans pushing back against president biden's stimulus plan, the $1.9 trillion on the line for americans struggling financially during this pandemic. >> the president himself has conveyed the urgency of moving this package forward, and that's certainly he has also conveyed privately

i'm all for free speech, brooke. right to speech even if they are crazy conspiracy theories but where i draw the line is violence. you should not be allowed to have a job in the united states congress if you're encouraging people to engage in violence. >> we were thinking back, to you know, steve king and all of the racist things that he said, and you will natural he was stripped of his commit assignments. like what -- what tangible thing should happen to her? >> this is much worse. i mean, i think show should be removed from the house at the very least. >> removed from the house. >> look, steve king was bad and it was white nationalism and racism and it was appropriate to remove him from the committees but he didn't threaten violence. he didn't threaten assassination. you have to understand what's going on here. this is a person in their 40s, not in their youth who are threatening killing people. >> i hear you. but what -- so you are one member and i appreciate you saying that, but what about speaker pelosi? you kno

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. let's start today with some encouraging news in the pursuit for more covid-19 vaccines. johnson & johnson is reporting the results of its vaccination trial. 66% effective in its global trial and 85% effective against severe disease and death, and i know you're sitting there thinking, oh, it's not quite as good as what we've seen in terms of efficacy from moderna and pfizer. well, yes, you are correct, but dr. anthony fauci says this vaccine though could be a game-changer. >> this is a single-shot vaccine in which you start to see efficacy anywhere from seven to ten days following the first and only shot. it is very, very good with regard to cold chain requirements, requiring only a refrigerator. it is inexpensive, and the company is capable of making doses in the numbers of billions. >> while the white house task force is focused on the vaccination piece of this pandemic, president biden is working today to help americans suffering financially. he is urging republicans to get on board

senior fellow at the brookings institution and brookings .edu. if you want to talk about progression all rules, procedures, now is a great time to call and. brian, independent, michigan. >> caller: yes, hello. can you hear me? i want to talk about national security and talk about me so much as what i've held a top-secret compartmentalized security clearance so i worked around the annapolis and mr. tony bob linsky is almost credible people i found on television a long time and i'm wondering along the lines of national security why he has not been brought in before congress and i want to know how these investigations are going and getting back to national security and the biden family. now, he has first-person knowledge and first-personde evidence and we have laptops we don't know what's exactly on there but there seems to be a lot of nefarious stuff and we talked about national security this is a very serious issue. >> host: you can't just use words. >> host: how do you think republicans if they keep control the senate and that depends on georgia

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. thanks for being with me. jen psaki saying despite the amount of large executive orders in his first eight days in office, more than 40 eos, she insists the president is working across the aisle. she said the white house is not looking to split his covid relief package. that's where i want to begin, dana bash, with you our chief cnn correspondent. the crux of all this, and we'll get into the schools reopening, is this is all contingent on this bill passing. and the question is would democrats have to force this thing through without republican support? and, you know, even you -- i think of you over the weekend on your show talking to a moderate republican mitt romney saying to you, yeah, we'll discuss this, but it's too soon for another stimulus. how do we make this happen in a bipartisan way? it's a big number. >> it is a big number. and that is really the open question here in washington. how do you make it happen in a bipartisan way but also stick to the promis

the ones that moe brooks told to, you know, kick some ass. he now says those people have defiled the seat of american democracy. that is quite a change from what he said while it was happening, as he was watching it on television. and then, immediately afterward, when he made a taped statement. here's what he said, yesterday, just after the attack. while there were, still, people on capitol grounds. >> we love you. you're very special. you've seen what happens. you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. >> perspective, now, from cnn senior political analyst, gloria borger, and cnn white house correspondent, jim acosta. jim, it seems to me, the president is now saying these people defiled the capitol. he is soon probably going to be saying it was antifa, just like moe brooks and matt gaetz and others. i guess, this is his way of saying his supporters and their great people. but there was these rogue elements, dressed up, i guess, you know, in trump paraphernalia, pretending to be, that actually defiled the capitol. you hav

exhibit "a," congressman mo brooks, republican of alabama. he's pushing the lies that it wasn't trump supporters who attacked the capitol tweeting this morning in a quote, he says, "evidence growing that fascist antifa orchestrated capitol attack with clever mob-control tactics." congressman brooks got a firsthand look at that mob when he encouraged them to start kick ass, in his words, yesterday morning, before they attacked the capitol. >> we are not going to let the socialists rip the heart out of our country. we are not going to let them continue to corrupt our elections. and steal from us our god-given right to control our nation's destiny. today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. >> looks like he switched into a "fire pelosi" hat for that part. patriots, that's what he called them, like i guess this guy with his feet up on nancy pelosi's desk. his name is richard barnett of grivett, arkansas, self-proclaimed white nationalist. not a member of antifa. boasted to several media outlets about when he did.

expert from the brookings institution. the distinction between the -- the most obvious difference is that what happened attack onsday was an the citadel of american capitol building, which houses the american congress, people sent there by the american people to represent the country and do the countries susiness -- country'd business. you do not have to defend violence and destruction of property, which i do not, in order to see that what happened on wednesday was both symbolically and in reality a far greater danger to the country. public trust cannot be restored unless people on both sides of to apply are willing without fear or favor. there has been a disturbing tendency in recent years to apply laws and criticisms selectively to those who oppose your efforts. whom youo those with are in agreement. is whole point of a rule that it is supposed to say what is permissible and what is not permissible in the pursuit of your ends, whatever they may be. you may want to drive quickly from one side of the city to the memberecau

first of all, mo brooks, speaking at the rally, there should be consequences for that.impeached president trump for inciting riot and insurrection at the capitol. while mo brooks' language may have been different, he participated in the underlying sequence of events that led to an insurrection on the capitol. we should take a look at that. regarding the certification and the objection by republicans, l look, they've got a procedural right to do that. what i appreciated was when a number of senators backed off of the objection after the insurrection. they withdrew their objections to the certification. they had a much greater sensitivity to the damaging effect of what they were doing. yet on the house, not only did they not withdraw their objections, but the language they used was as divisive and calling into question the integrity of the election, as if the insurrection hadn't happened. that's of concern. while they have a right to object to the certification, i think we should be considering what privileges they enjoy in the house of representatives. >> so what repercu

i'm brooke baldwin. i want to begin with just the unthinkable. just 16 days before the inauguration of a successor, a new extreme and a new low from this president all laid bare in audio obtained by cnn. so when this hour-long phone call happened, president trump repeatedly pushes georgia's secretary of state to find more votes for him, the bullying is belligerent, the threats are blatant, and the demands in the center of it are possibly illegal. >> the people of georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry, and there is nothing wrong with saying you recalculated. look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won this thing. what are we going to do here, i only need 11,780 votes. gimme a break. >> on the other end of that phone call, you can hear the georgia secretary of state objecting to the president's requests, and today a source telling cnn that the white house actually attempted to contact brad raffensperger's time no less than 18 times between election day and this pa

congressman mo brooks of alabama already facing calls for censure, john.rtment of justice announces, it's looking for instigators of what happened. these three congressmen could be in much worse trouble than just a censure. the siege on the capitol started with a protest just like dozens of "stop the steal" rallies across the country since the election. >> 1776! >> reporter: and one of the main organizers, extreme right-winger, ali alexander, who says he was getting help from three members of congress. >> i'm the guy who came up with the idea of january 6th, when i was talking with congressman gosar, congressman andy biggs, and congressman mo brooks. >> reporter: that's right. alexander says these three members of congress actually helped plan the rally. paul gosar, andy biggs, and mo brooks. >> it was to build momentum and pressure and then on the day, change hearts and minds of congresspeople's who weren't yet decided or saw everyone outside and said, i can't be on the other side of that mob. >> reporter: arizona congressman paul gosar has been working w

the brookings institute hosted this discussion. >> good afternoon everyone. thank you for joining us for this debate on the future of the filibuster today my name is molly reynolds and i'm a senior fellow in the program at the brookings institution. we begin a new presidency and partisan control of the senate switch democrats are enjoying unify of washington for the first time in decades. the prospect for action on many democratic priorities are potentially threatened by the filibuster or the requirements needed to cut off debate on most legislation in the chamber. we have seen the debate over whether to maintain the filibuster rules, take center stage with the new congress and now senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has threatened to prevent the new democratic majority from organizing the chamber unless majority leader chuck schumer promises not to use the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster in the congress. on this debate whether to keep the filibuster is not new but it is timely and to unpack the arguments for and against reform i have invited tw

and congressman mo brooks of alabama saying, "take down names and kick ass." people, the danger was imminent, it focused on a particular joint session that was scheduled to begin not in the distant future, but within minutes of the rally. and they said not just when violence was likely to happen, it did, in fact, happen here, alisyn. >> right, but they all say, but that's not what i meant, we were just speaking sort of rhetorically. we didn't know that that would gin them up to violence. so how does a prosecutor prove intent? >> intent can be proven not only through direct, explicit statements, but also indirectly through actions and reactions. so a timeline of what happened before the riot, during it, and afterwards to try to prove exactly what he intended. before the riot, you have him even saying and retweeting statements about there being a wild rally, about preparing the cavalry, and while it's actually happening, did he actually hinder law enforcement's responses? he didn't try to condemn it or clarify his words or even try to pull back the protesters. a

expert from the brookings institution. the distinction between the -- the most obvious difference is that what happened attack onsday was an the citadel of american capitol building, which houses the american congress, people sent there by the american people to represent the country and do the countries susiness -- country'd business. you do not have to defend violence and destruction of property, which i do not, in order to see that what happened on wednesday was both symbolically and in reality a far greater danger to the country. public trust cannot be restored unless people on both sides of to apply are willing without fear or favor. there has been a disturbing tendency in recent years to apply laws and criticisms selectively to those who oppose your efforts. whom youo those with are in agreement. is whole point of a rule that it is supposed to say what is permissible and what is not permissible in the pursuit of your ends, whatever they may be. you may want to drive quickly from one side of the city to the memberecau

republicans like senators josh hawley of missouri, ron johnson of wisconsin and ted cruz of texas or mo brooks of alabama, matt gaetz of florida or even elise stefanic of new york. don't assume it can't happen. because at the grassroots level, republicans continue to be radicalized. what if instead of raffensperger, someone like representative marjorie taylor greene had been in charge of counting georgia's votes? this time, the system worked. we may not be so lucky the next time around. one in oregon suggesting that the capitol attack was a false flag to embarrass donald trump. that's an official statement from a republican party. so as you say, this is far from subsiding now that donald trump left office. it seems to be getting worse. .

we showed you some comments earlier from mo brooks on the floor of the house. congressman brooks tweeting this morning saying "please don't be like fake news media, don't rush to judgment on assault on capital, weight for investigation -- wait for investigation, all might not be what it seems, evident growing that nt felt orchestrated capital attack with clever mob control tactics. -- tactics." , response from jim mcgovern "are you kidding me? we all watched on tv as the president said trial by comment, delete this account and this tweet, mo brooks." fort worth, texas is next. linda, republican line. good morning. i'm really a democrat, i was trying to get in on any line and i just wanted to thank the democrats because i will be waiting for my $2000. thank you very much. host: on the democratic line in bloomfield hills, michigan, wendi, go ahead. yeah i just, several things, the barriers that trump set to constrain people from incitedas definitely it. there were so many incremental elements that led up to blowsday that it just, it my mind, it infuriates me, how
