we know wolf did not confirm chris krebs who oversaw sisa. getting into the weetds here. that is the person that president trump fired for not saying there was a rigged election. we know chad wolf did not personally fire chris krebs. we don't know how much he defended him. there's already this friction that started at the end of the election between acting secretary chad wolf and the president. this looks at how it is coming to an end. it's hard to under emphasize how important chad wolf's position is, not in a political sense, but in a security sense when we're talking about the stakes that we are seeing here play out firsthand. >> the president's position is very important. however, chuck schumer just put out a statement calling for the president to be removed immediately. kelly o'donnell, we're getting an additional statement, not in response to chris schumer, but another issue related to yesterday from the white house. what have you learned? >> well, one of the white house press officers who we deal with regularly, judd deere put out a statement in the voice of the whi

about the situation because i am so gravely concerned. >> reporter: and, wolf, we are continuing to hear from the fbi director, chris wray. he said, again, just moments ago that the fbi has identified more than 200 suspects in the wake of the insurrection on the capitol. wolf, as you know, fears are growing here about potential silegh violence in the nation's capitol. more fencing continues to go up including near the mall, where, of course, the inauguration takes place. i'm told by an official who's familiar with the discussions that the general public will not be allowed into those traditional observation areas, the grassy areas on the mall where thousands would normally gather to watch the inauguration. we are still expecting, though, to get the final restrictions from the u.s. secret service and the national parks service about the closures for the inauguration, wolf. >> yeah. several people have said to me it's very sad to even -- here it's beginning to look like the green zone around baghdad. if you will. something you and i have seen over the years. it's pretty sad that it's going on here in washington, d.c.,

chris coons. he told our wolf blitzer he'd be open to an arrangement if democrats offer to push off the impeachment the middle of february the democrats would go along with that as long as it meant that republicans were going to swiftly confirm the president's cabinet nominees. it's not very clear whether or not that's the assessment that schumer has and also the assessment that the speaker, nancy pelosi, has. they are the two that really control this process. so even though mitch mcconnell has offered up this proposal, we won't know where it goes until we hear from the speaker and the majority leader. >> and at this point, do we know how the trial will proceed? will there be witnesses, evidence presented? >> that seems to be very much an open question right now as well. durban, also a member of leadership in the senate democratic caucus said he has no idea whether or not witnesses will be called or full blown impeachment trial like the last time around. some democrats offered up this is an open and shut case and shouldn't take that long for the trial to proceed but we should be clear that republic

themselves, versus, no, this is extremism that is going to be planned and acted on, lone wolf, or in combination? >> chris, you've always had your one-off people who approach the security checkpoint, feel like they want to get inside for whatever reason, and cause a ruckus. sometimes those things even end violently. that's normal business in securing the capitol or the white house or what have you. this is different. what makes it different is each one of these individuals is carrying with them some evidence, some indication, that they are responding to the big lie. so your 71-year-old gentleman from west virginia is carrying documents that are reiterating the stop the steal thing. you have the guy who was arrested in california a day or two ago with five pipe bombs in his house. he's also got all kinds of rhetoric on social media feeds and other places about his kind of rabid support for former president trump and his frustration about the election having been stolen. so what you're seeing is this ideology perpetuated by president trump is uniting extremists of all stripes under the flag of trump. and th

chris van hollen joins us. how concerned are you about the threats to the inauguration, in washington as well as other state capitols? >> wolfood to be with you. i'm very concerned about the threats. and that's why it's essential that we take these huge security precautions. we now have i think 25,000 national guard men and women in washington, d.c. that's ten times the amount of troops that we currently have in afghanistan. and there's just the national gu guard. on top of that you have different police forces. so i think the security is definitely necessary and warranted. it is a sad reflection on where we are in our democracy today. >> will you feel safe going back to the capitol, doing your work in the senate? i know so many other members of the house and senate are beefing up their personal security right now. >> yes, i do, wolf, but i feel safe partly because of the additional security measures that are being taken. clearly we had a complete failure of security at the capitol on january 6. and so we've got to learn very quickly from what went wrong. of course what went wrong in the big picture was we had a president of

wolf? >> arlette, thank you very much. >>> we're joined by key democratic senator, chris kunz from delaware. you said president trump, in your words, does not catastrophe to be president any longer. do you agree with your colleagues like the minority leader, soon to be the majority leader, chuck schumer, who want to remove him from office, using the 25th amendment to the constitution? >> yes, wolf. and, frankly, more importantly, there are several senior former members of the trump administration, cabinet officials who have said that they agree as well. john kelly, who was chief of staff to president trump, has publicly said -- i think it was just announced on cnn earlier this evening, that if he were still in the cabinet, he would invoke the 25th amendment. attorney general bill barr, who has just resigned, elaine chao, secretary of transportation, who will soon resign. mick mulvaney, his former chief of staff, have all said that president trump bears responsibility for inciting the riot that assaulted the capitol and there should be consequences in different ways. the larger point here is

wolf. >>> let's discuss all the challenges facing the in new congress. democratic senator chris coons of delaware, key member of the senate foreign relations committee. senator, is this proposal by mcconnell to delay the impeachment trial until february, a few weeks, couple weeks, three weeks, let's see. is that something you think your fellow democrats could support? >> well, wolf, i think democrats will be open to considering a delay that allows former president trump time to assemble his legal team and his defense for the impeachment trial, if we are making progress on confirming the very talented, seasoned, and diverse tehat president joe biden has nominated to serve in his cab cabinet. as you just mentioned we confirmed avril haines to be director of national intelligence last night. we have had confirmation hearings and should be able to proceed tomorrow with confirmation for the secretary of defense, secretary of treasury, secretary of state, secretary of homeland security. these are critical positions to have filled in most administrations, for decades, they are filled a

wolf. >> they certainly are trying. phil mattingly at the white house, thank you. >>> joining us now, chris coo ns of delaware. thank you for joining us. let's start with president biden's covid relief plan. he wants bipartisan support. even moderate republicans are worried about the price tag. are democrats taking a risk if they don't go big while they hold this rather slim majority, 50/50 as you know in the senate? many remember the missed opportunities of 2009. >> wolf, i'm clear that president biden and majority leader schumer want us to do everything we can to secure bipartisan votes for a package. but we also have to be bold. the american people are suffering from this pandemic. just last week, 900,000 people filed for unemployment for the first time. that's as many people as in my entire state of delaware. we've got more than 25 million americans infected, and we have new variants of the disease that are posing even greater risk. so, wolf, it is president biden's desire and intention to craft a bipartisan package that can pass. but it is also important to recognize he is clear-eyed about what just a big

wolf is gone. lord who knows is running that place. but act fbi director chrisray, jeff roens the acting attorney general. it is shocking to me, shocking. inexcusable that we have not had a briefing. >> it's remarkable. and national security officials who i've spoken to have also said, look, one of the reasons why we might not be seeing them is they might be afraid that they could get fired in the week that's left of this administration, that speaking truth about this and the reasons why it was incited, the realities of why these protesters came and mobbed the capitol would force them to lose their jobs. and that -- you know, take it at face value, which is that the president has never accepted his own official speaking the truth about, and speaking and criticizing him in any way. so i think that's part of it. >> final question for you is about where things stand in terms of threat assessment for future possible assaults. there has been reporting about briefings of members of congress about some that are being plotted and planned. where do things stand right now

wolf, announces his resignation. so how do we stop what unfolded on wednesday from happening again? joining me now to discuss is chris wheker. hi, chris. it seems like -- i don't know who's driving the car. it's a little scary at this point. so cnn has obtained this bulletin, this fbi bulletin, which says that armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and the u.s. capitol close to the inauguration. threats against president-elect biden, the vp harris, house speaker nancy pelosi. how big a challenge is ahead for all of us if they cover -- for people who have to cover the entire country? >> yeah, this feels a little bit like the '90s, don, where sort of the hardcore fringe elements on the right side have become very active. when that happens, i mean, you got to be on top of your game when it comes to security. that bulletin that went out, i think, is the general intelligence that's out there. but i can tell you there's probably very specific intelligence that's being passed to various law enforcement agencies across the country on individuals, on individual plots and that sort of thing. so the fbi is in

but comfort to know that someone like the members that are already here, like bruce wolfe and matthew yankee and chris hyland have expressed their interest to continue their work. they have been doing for quite some time. i think it's a great balance to have those diversity and fresh new perspective. meanwhile, we have the institutional knowledge and experience to keep the task force going. that's my approach and really glad variety of candidates to do this thankless work and keeping our city government transparent and accountable. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you supervisor chan. with that colleagues, if there's no objections, i like to make the following motion. while seat 3 did not have any applicants, kevin frazier, we've determined he is qualified to fill seat number three. that is certainly within our powers and purview to do as a member of the media or electronic media, interested in improving access to public record. i like to move kevin frazier fill seat 3. that was matthew yankee fill seat 7, chris hyland fill seat 8, neighbors seat nine and kai forsley seat 10 and i like to make a moti

tweet quickly deleted by "new york times" editor lauren wolf who tweeted, "but i didn't biden landing at joint base andrews, i have chills." that's a chrisor a moment, in terms of the negative positive assessment of media coverage. president trump, 2017, 5% positive assessment. 62% negative, compared to obama, 2009, positive 42, negative, bush 2001, evenly split, and fairly evenly split with bill clinton. president trump overwhelmingly had negative coverage. there is no about that. >> unquestionably. we see these numbers of trust declining in mainstream media dramatically at their lowest levels, and the reason for that is because the press has far too often turned all of this into a reality show, with heroes and villains, and constantly hand its coverage in those directions. when you have to have a veil and, when donald trump is the villain and they are sort of getting over this hangover right now of treating him in that way, in every single scenario, you got to whip people into a frenzy. the report news stories that are designed to make him look bad and omit the ones that would make them look good. we saw an example just today. "the was

chris: the only thing that actually did surprise me about yesterday's coverage was the pathetic tinny little crowd comment from wolf top. i'm somewhat, just a little bit rattled but not surprised at how quickly this reversal has happened. i was just looking at some of the coverage, for example, on the washington post on mrs. biden's, they call her mrsn pence's job as teacher, vice president mike pence had to respond, quote, to the outrage of her returning to her work at a christian school. i mean, cbs had kamala harris and her husband onto talk about her sneakers and their marriage, all of the reviews of the fashion aspects. a new york times editor who has deleted twitter account because she said she got the chills just seeing biden landing at the airport. this is a really swift reversal and i think we will have to deal with four more years of feeling like we are butting in on someone's romantic date as far as the media coverage of this white house goes. dagen: chris, it's dagen mcdowell, i saw a tweet about oh, i got the chills, i thought, you know you should never tell anybody that in the covid era because people

secretary chris miller says there is, quote, no indication of an insider threat ahead of the inauguration for president-elect joe biden. here's what former acting secretary of homeland security chad wolfe told america's news room about preparing for tomorrow. >> you have to remember that national special security event nnsd which is in place going back to last wednesday through inauguration has been held here in d.c. for over 30 different times. so the structure, the training, the battle rhythm that they have here is in place. they're going to do well. >> john: miller says the defense department is leaving no stone unturned. he is urging service members to report any suspicious behavior they might come across. feds arresting a pennsylvania woman accused of stealing a lap top or hard drive from house speaker nancy pelosi's office during that capitol hill riot. brian llenas live in harrisburg, pennsylvania, for us. >> reporter: good afternoon. riley june williams turned herself in to the fbi yesterday without incident last night. she has a hearing today, her first federal court appearance at 4 p.m. here in harrisburg. the 22-year-old faces multiple federal charges, including knowingly en
