>> good morning, chuck.he assault on the capitol was a violent insurrection that was incitedt and encouraged by dond trump. it was an attack on the congress, an attack on the country, and an attack on the constitution. and donald trump represents a clear and present danger to the health and safety of the american people as well as our democracy. and that's why house democrats are united in demanding and seeking his immediate removal. now, there are three ways that that can be brought about. vice president pence and a majority of the cabinet can step up and do the right thing and invoke the 25th amendment, and we are going to continue to push them to do that. we can also impeach donald trump, and he can be convicted and removed by the senate that should come back into town to dealck with this constitutional crisis and the existential threat to our democracy that's sitting at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. or, the republican enablers who are around donald trump can demand that he resign, similar to what took place

that's two ways to look at it, chuck. one is the sheer political numbers you need, that you need to win in both houses. because if there are objections, and there will be, they're not sustained unless both the house and senate agree. and they may not win in either. the objections may fail in both the house and senate. but there's no way they're going to work in both. so we know what the end of this play is going to be. we just don't know how it's going to get there. this is literally the oldest thing that the federal government does. this is the first thing that the very first congress did, was to count the electoral votes. this is what the constitution says is the role of the vice president, also known as the senate president. he is to open all the certificates, and the vote shall be counted. that's all the constitution says. there's a long federal law that was passed 133 years ago that gives more guidance to the process, and that's how we know how this whole objection system works. and we know, chuck, that there have be

i'm chuck todd here in washington.re now 23 hours from the inauguration of president-elect joe biden. he is expected to deliver remarks in delaware when he departs for washington in the next 30 minutes or so. we will bring you those remarks when they begin. there was a time he was going to train into washington, security sadly has made that a much tougher task. considers will be speaking reflecting the victims of -- 200,000 flags in honor of those who could not attend this inauguration the mall has been closed. amid the security concerns in capitol hill the senate is holding confirmation hearings for some of biden's most critical cabinet posts. the hearing for treasury secretary is under way right now. the hearings for homeland security and the director of national intelligence just wrapped up a few moments ago and later today we will see the first hearings for defense secretary as well as joe biden's choice for secretary of state. and moments ago senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who will not have that title som

>> the numbers are real, chuck. you know, you're going to have some deviation plus or minus a bit but the numbers are real. we have well over 300,000 deaths and averaging two to 3,000 deaths per day. go into the trenches, go into the hospitals and intensive care units and see what is happening. those are real numbers, real people and real deaths. >> dr. fauci, as always, sir, thank you. happy new year. 2021 couldn't get here fast enough and let me just say for a lot of us, we can't wait to get the vaccines and i see you took one and you're fine, correct? >> i'm good. i'm fine. very, very little problem. just a little ache in the arm and that was it. we're good. >> good enough for you, sir, it's good enough for me and my family. thank you, dr. fauci. >>> turning to the other big story. the republican effort to delegitimize joe biden's election. 12 republican senators and senators elect will reject the results of swing states won by joe biden until an audit of alleged fraud is completed with support of the vice presid

>> no, i don't think so, chuck.sterday in his address that just enough of us have to come together to bring along the rest of us. i think that will be his approach. one of the things that strikes me is that joe biden and kamala harris both have a real appreciation for the article one branch. meeting with members of congress. here we are, on the day after, and we're focused on thinking about policy and not just the politics of what is going on of a tweet or some other happening in the white house. >> you know, i thought one of the things that was under estimated is this. he is the first president since lbj to like congress. he is not just a creature of it, he likes it. every president in our lifetime has hated congress and loves to talk about how they hate congress. and not this guy. >> yeah, he didn't run against congress, chuck. and use it really as a campaign theme, we didn't see that from joe biden. he is going to have to work closely with congress. there is probably a few different things they will have to try t

those numbers you just showed, chuck.is legal advisers have urged him not to do a self-pardon. i am told that we can expect there to be more pardons before he leaves office. chuck, i think that's the dichotomy we're seeing with president trump right now. yes, he still has broad 1u7 port among the republican party. he's increasingly isolated in the white house 578 month his top advisers, the cacade of resignations after january 6th. the fact you have a number of allies that used to stand with him that just aren't anymore. >> rich, if he tries a self-pardon, that's probably not the best way to convince senate republicans not to convict. >> yeah. i'm not sure whether he'll get a conviction regardless. self-pardon would obviously be radioactive. not clear how effective it would be. it would certainly be legally contested. certainly going to pardon another raft of allies and probably family members, and this is an administration obviously losing legitimacy by the minute and literally falling apart before our eyes. >> claire, t

>> he's still undecided, i'm told, chuck. are increasing conversations behind the scenes about a potential self-pardon and pardons for his family members and close aides and allies as well as a number of other people, but he's concerned about the pr aspect of it. those numbers that you just showed, chuck. and so, that is one of the things that is holding him back from moving forward with it. and we know that a number of his legal advisers have urged him not to do a self-pardon. i am told, though, that we can expect there to be more pardons before he leaves office. but chuck, i think that's the dichotomy that we are seeing with president trump right now. yes, he still has broad support among the republican party, but he's increasingly isolated in the white house among his top advisers. the cascade of resignations that we saw in the wake of january 6th and the fact that you have a number of those allies who used to stand with him who just aren't anymore, chuck. >> you know, rich, i've been thinking, if he pulls -- if he tries a

>> i don't know, chuck. i think he's busy doing his job, which is being president, fixing these crises we've been talking about. he's not a senator. he's not going to vote on impeachment. i think his focus is on being president, not doing the job he used to have, which is being a u.s. senator. >> ron klain, there is about 7,000 other issues i'd like to ask you questions about. how do you tackle an elephant? one bite at a time. we did our first ten-minute bite. ron klain, chief of staff for president biden, thank you for shaeg are your perspective. >> you got it, chuck. >>> is there any chance democrats and republicans can work together especially with work together especially with another impeachmen trial on the ♪♪ this is what community looks like. ♪♪ caring for each other, ♪♪ protecting each other. ♪♪ and as the covid vaccine rolls out, we'll be ready to administer it. ♪♪ ♪ ♪ when you drive this smooth, you save with allstate the future of auto insurance is here you've never been in better hands allstate c

very few people here, chuck. it's really a ghost town at this white house. >> yes, one wonders yesterday, president trump's defiance, if that only accelerated the split that we're seeing on capitol hill right now as well, kristen welker on her post at the white house for us, thank you. >>> and bring in our own vaughn hillyard. he's outside the capitol today. vaughn, what a difference a week and actual extra security make. what do you see today that is so strikingly different than a week ago? >> i think kristin said it, the fact it's a ghost town now. we're on the east side of the capitol, chuck, this is second street. we will come in the road and i will let you see down here. this is new as of yesterday. folks were still -- the public was able to get up to what was a first layer of fencing over on first street. that has been since pushed back now to second street. you can see this is east capitol street. the areas around washington, d.c., most of the streets are now blocked off, extending all the way to the white

problem, chuck. there's a double standard here and we are not being transparent and we are dismissing the concerns of tens of millions of americans. again, i didn't light this fire. this fire's lit over four years ago and we have destroyed the credibility -- you have destroyed the credibility of the news media by your bias. and of course, people like james comey, andrew mccabe, john brennan destroyed the credibility of the fbi and our justice system as well. we have an enormous problem in this country. it's unsustainable. and the only way you solve it is with information and transparency and hearings and investigations. it's not quackery. it's not conspiracy theory. it's what's going's to be required. >> so, you -- let me ask you this, then why didn't you hold hearings about the 9/11 truthers? there's plenty of people who thought 9/11 was an inside job. so, you're basically saying if there's enough people who believe in a conspiracy theory -- >> i held c hearings on what i figure is the most relevant

>> i don't know, chuck. i mean, i think he's busy doing his job, which is being president, fixing these crises we've been talking about. he's not a senator. he's not going to vote on impeachment. so, i think his focus is on being president, not on doing the job he used to have, which is being a u.s. senator. >> ron klain, there is about 7,000 other issues i'd like to ask you questions about, but you know, how do you tackle an elephant, right, one bite at a time? we did our first ten-minute bite today. ron klain, thank you for coming on today. >> thanks for having me, chuck. >>> coming up, is there any chance democrats and republicans can work together, especially with another impeachment trial on the way? i'll talk to senators dick durbin and mike rounds when we return. hen we return a migraine hope from aimovig. to show up... ...for the sweet. the hectic. the tender. the tense. and the fiery. but for many, migraine keeps them... ...from saying... ...“i am here.” we aim to change that... ...with... ...aimovi

>> so, chuck, two things.irst is senator schumer just indicated, senator mcconnell could agree today to begin the trial immediately after the house passes the articles of impeachment on wednesday. so we could get off to an earlier start. second, yeah, i do think that we can proceed with both tracks. we have to get about the business of the next administration, the biden-harris administration but we also have to hold president trump accountable. we can work around the clock. look, we worked late into the night to make sure that we secured the final vote of the electoral college. my view is, we've got to be willing to go around the clock, 24/7, to both do the trial and move forward with the new administration. and if republicans want to drag that out it just means we'll stay later and later into the night. we've got to get both done. >> senator van hollen, you're like me, you're local. and so you know how much i think we locals take pride in the -- in how public our government is. that any of us can show up in t

>> well, thank you, chuck, for having me.y more than one variant that may actually duck the vaccine or our natural protection we get from having had infection. also the one from brazil is of grave concern to us at the same time. and as you know the variant that we've been talking about from the united kingdom, the uk variant which surely is increasing cases really these together have really changed the entire picture of the covid-19 pandemic. i think we're now in by far the most dangerous period in the pandemic period that we've ever had. i think the next six to 14 weeks could clearly see the increasing cays that we've never seen before and of course we are concerned about the fact that will our vaccines work? i think they will right now. but i think what we're in for in terms of total number of new cases is going to be staggering. >> there's a lot of talk that double masking is going to become a cdc recommendation, where are you on this and would you be providing this guidance to people if asked? >> well, first of all, let m

with regards to the filibuster and the nuclear option, chuck schumer is in a difficult spot. if you look at the rhetoric su surrounding the georgia election on both sides -- >> life commission governor gretchen whitmer on her states response to the coronavirus pandemic. you are watching

>> reporter: thank you, chuck. you left us big shoes to fill, chuck? >> no, you and peter and halle did a great job in the trump era, so congratulations to you. so where are we? how many people are talking to the president and how many more resignations should we expect? >> reporter: yeah, congrats all around to everyone. what we are seeing is a cascade of resignations here, and overnight betsy devos announcing her resignation and elaine chao, and our peter alexander reporting at this hour two sources familiar with the source tells us hope hicks plans to leave ahead of the inauguration, and that had been her plan since president trump's election defeat. you are seeing a number of top officials heading for the exits. what if any conversation has there been behind the scenes invoking the 25th amendment, and leann will have more about this, and the call to remove him from office, and they told us they don't see that as realistic as it's so close to the inauguration. we know there have been conversations starting at the staff levels and some cabinet levels

chuck schumer couldn't have a smaller majority. and that's why he had to struggle with what is normally the routine vote, the organiing resolution of the united states senate which assigned committee chairmanships and committee membership, mitch mcconnell was forced to drop his demand just in the last hour to that organizing resolution of the senate which in mitch mcconnell's version would have forbidden the democrats to change the filibuster rule in any way. that's what he had to drop. that demand. and he did drop it. meanwhile, the senate is slowly but surely confirming biden cabinet members. janet yellen was confirmed as secretary of the treasury today by a vote of 84-15. many of the republican presidential candidates voted against her, of course, including senators hawley, cruz, rand paul, mike lee, and today, the vice president of the united states had an official swearing in of the secretary of defense, lloyd austin. that's a historic picture in many ways. today, president biden was asked if he might give up on bipartisan com

>> we do, chuck. i have a little breaking news. i spoke with the gbi spokesman who tells me there are ten counts impacted by this threat. we just got some more details from a facebook post put up on the cherokee county sheriff's office. it appears the threats came in the form of an email. an email sent to several county employees threatening several polling locations there in the county. so we do know that's what they are investigating. few other details are coming out from the gbi. here in fulton county, i spoke with a spokesperson who tells me that every polling location around fulton county has an assigned security officer. some person who was assigned there to keep security. that's the same thing we saw back in november. to be clear, it's something they started back in november and something they're continuing today. but before this election cycle, it was not something that was typical for fulton county. it sets the scene for the type of political climate that we're in right now. those threats aside, though, and those concerns

chuck is not done.this is an honor, an important honor, but he's still vibrant and he'll continue to push the envelope of social justice for all of us for years to come. so, chuck, thank you for your legacy. and thank you for what you're doing. and i look forward to what is next with you working together. >> we shouldn't belabor this -- >> it's not your turn yet, sorry. you got to indulge us another minute. [laughter] just want to add to the kind of, frankly, reverence of the amazing legacy, chuck, that you have created in the bay area. and the frame that i hold where you are concerned is truth to power. that you have always stood in a place of rightness. and equity and access. centering in particular but not only young people with their voices, their role, their agency, and the agency of people of color even more broadly. and so i certainly have for a long, long time looked to, looked up to, and have learned from all that you have meant to our community. so i certainly personally thank you and also i a

chuck: first of all, thanks for having me.t certainly hasn't been the beginning to 2021 that we had all hoped for and candidly it is just sad. everything that has occurred is just sad. it's a time where our nation has so many crises going on, we need to come together and work together and solve problems for the citizens of the country and instead we are dealing with the things we are dealing with. it's a sad day. so emily: -- emily: you are a business leader, we are facing an uncertain few days and possibly not peaceful transition of power. chuck: the thing is, i said, it's part of a sad narrative going on in the country right now. what occurred last week was a travesty that shouldn't have happened and those responsible should be held accountable. i'm looking forward to next weekend moving forward. there is so much that we need to get done and that we can get done. i never dreamed, honestly, that the united states of america, at a time where we had so many challenges that we couldn't put down our partisan beliefs and come toge

es importante destacar el discurso que acabamos de oír de chuck schumer y mitch mcconnell.que no iban a intimidar al senado. chuck schumer dice que este día va a pasar a la historia de la infamia de estados unidos, que atacaron el corazón de la democracia, palabras bastante fuertes. y aunque estamos viendo este ambiente, y que va a seguir este debate, vamos a ver las grietas de los 14 días que le quedan al presidente donald trump, y que se hacen más profundas. uno de los seguidores más importantes del presidente dice en un comunicado que dice que se le ha pasado equipo para aceptar los resultados, que deje de engañar al pueblo estadounidense y repudie la violencia de las turbas. la congresista silvia garcía pide invocar a la enmienda 25, que es la enmienda que permite retirar del gobierno al presidente que no está apto para mantenerse en funciones. críticas y quejas cada vez más fuertes en el capitolio. >> muchísimas gracias. acabamos de ver a una de las más acérrimos aliadas del presidente que acaba de perder supuesto en el senado de georgia. congresista ¿dónde está? >> en

democratic senator chuck schumer. taking the top job for the first time ever as democrats now control the white house and the united states senate and the united states house. on the night the article of impeachment was conveyed from the house to the senate, the majority leader not only encouraging tonight in this interview a conviction of the president but saying he's potentially open to criminal charges as well. also discussing his plans to open up more seats on the federal courts. potentially to include the united states supreme court as democrats confront a judicial branch quite thoroughly stacked with republican appointees. that is the legacy of mitch mcconnell's time as majority leader. he has now been ousted from that post. now with the house and senate, will they investigate potentially corruption of trump's last wave of maluderous last minute pardons and commutations? senator schumer addressing that possibility for the first time tonight as well. stay tuned. lots to get to tonight. stay with us. when you have

. >> chuck schumer will be the majority leader in the senate and it was last week before the attack on the capital when he was talking with reporters and asked several questions about the senate agenda what he will do as a leader of the chamber i want to play a minute of chuck schumer from early wednesday last week. >> are you envisioning a larger package. >> as i told you is one of the first things that we want to do the georgia senators campaigned in our caucuses strongly for we think the american people need it. >> how does this change the calendar, how does it change the way forward. >> obviously with democratic control, the ability of joe biden to move nominations forward will be easier, the calendar i have not began to look at yet. >> last one. >> can you tell us a little bit when you found out you would be the majority leader and progressives are really pushing you to use the legislative filibuster, can you make that promise right now? >> we senate democrats know we face one of the greatest crises americans have, were united in wanting change and we will sit down as a caucus and

>>that's one of our top stories tonight senate majority leader chuck schumer announcing late today that the latest impeachment trial will not be starting until early february other a lot of reasons why the democrats decided to push the trial back to find out to the reasoning behind that we go to our washington dc correspondent anna wiernicki she is live with more hi anna. >>hey good evening. i that's absolutely right center public and actually wanted to push the start of this trial. the for several weeks and just about an hour ago as senate majority leader chuck schumer agreed to the delay. he says that this gives senate now time to tackle other priorities for president biden. senate majority leader chuck schumer says the senate will start president trump's impeachment trial next month once the briefs are drafted. >>presentation by the parties will commence the week of february the 8th schumer says the senate will receive the article of impeachment from the house on monday at 07:00pm but make no mistake. trial will be held in the united states senate and there will be a vote whether to

chuck schumer -- mitch mcconnell is asking chuck schumer to do something that he will never do which is to guarantee that he won't abolish the filibuster. the entire democratic party is asking chuck schumer to eliminate the filibuster and mitch mcconnell is asking him to guarantee he won't do so. so that's just not going to happen. he is not going to agree to that. again, garrett is right, we are in completely unfamiliar territory here. we have no idea how this is going to end because neither side wants to blink. they could end up on some handshake agreement, that's the most likely scenario. >> and let's dip back in now because, actually, jake, senator mcconnell is talk being that now. let's listen. >> -- on many occasions. our current democratic colleagues used this liberally, liberally over the last several years when they were in the minority. more than two dozen signed a bipartisan letter in 2017 saying our republican majority should not break the rule by brute force. let me say that again. two dozen democrats signed a bipartisan letter in 2017 saying our republican majority shou

>> great question, chuck.s is the most direct way, that's why we're seeing it, and a senate vote to convict can then have a separate vote to bar him from office. that's why mitch mcconnell and the conversations you've been covering throughout this broadcast this morning are so relevant. this is not just a reimpeachment or rerun, it's about whether the senate bars donald trump from office for life. the other way that the constitution provides this have never been used on a president, we've covered the 25th amendment, i think viewers know that that was generally understood to be for medical conditions and that's not currently going anywhere according to the people who have to do it in the cabinet. the references to the 14th amendment involve rebellion and treasonous-type conduct that historically was understood to require a conviction, meaning -- unlike impeachment it's not something the senate just does, it would require using the fact that someone had been in rebellion to bar them. there is some legal debate o

chuck, just wondering if your views on early voting. >> sure. i agree and in a broad outline with what the judge has said about early voting. i think that as we discussed in an earlier aba panel in july on this, certainly the direction of voting has gone from precinct voting on election day to other means of voting including early voting and i think that it's useful because it allows people to do so. i think the question that has been posed and i think is a debatable one is are there circumstances in which to early voting if i can use that term. too early voting may deprive people of important election information that might come late whether it's bona fide information or sort of last-minute hit type information which isnot uncommon . are some significant event that's really beyond the control of the parties as they bear on how people would vote. there were some indications of people who had voted early , at least inquiring about whether they could recast their vote or recapture a revote. i think it's worth leaving to others to determine if that

in a democratic leader of the senate, as this all is happening is chuck schumer. the impeachment, urgent covid relief bill. conformation of president biden's new cabinet have all landed on his lab on day one. not to mention responsibility for passing all the legislation that the new congress and new administration are pursuing. but it's intertsing. senator schumer is taking over with the republicans, newly ousted from power, with them trying to pretend like they're still in charge. like they're still the ones who get to say what happens in the senate and what doesn't happen in the senate. literally, republicans tonight are still chairing all the committees in the senate, even though they're in the minority now. they're refusing to allow the new democratic majority to take over, even though the republicans were voted out. from day one, they're already pushing it to crisis. i spoke with majority leader, chuck schumer, about it all today, at the lbj room, which is just off the senate floor. >> joining us now for the interview from the glorious lbj room at the capitol

>> chuck, it's a great question. i think there's a correction to the shock and surprise and the ugliness of january 6th. i have no doubt that january 20th, in the capitol, the inauguration will be safe. you've seen it. the guns, gates and guards will make sure of it. you're right. i think the lingering question is are we facing an extremist movement that obviously is more than just what we saw on january 6th. more than just what we have seen already in state capitols and is there something brewing beyond the 20th. it's one of the things i'm worried about when you look at the evolution of extremist movements over time. in that regard, january 6th was a galvanizing moment. a moment where some of these extremist groups saw wa was in the realm of the possible and you worry about that being an inspirational moment for these groups to organize more, plan more and to do things beyond what happens on january 20th. >> you spent a lot of your time when you were in public service worrying about international terrorism. worrying

>> the chuck toddcast.hank you, eddie. >>> as some republicans condemn the attack on the capitol and the president's action, where does their party go from here? ? did you know that 70% of the soils on your clothes are invisible? under u.v. light, you see the invisible dirt trapped deep down. try new tide pods hygienic clean heavy duty. for a deep clean, just toss in a pac. formulated with 10 concentrated cleaning actives, that clean deep down into the fabric to remove invisible dirt. see the difference, after being washed with tide hygienic clean. for a deep clean, try tide hygienic clean! with a 100% money back guarantee! if it's got to be clean, it's got to be tide. >>> president trump has just 13 days left in office. in the aftermath of yesterday's violence at the capitol there are questions about the president's grip on the republican party. respect law marepublican congre adam kinzinger called for his removal from office. >> i think the vice president taking over and ensuring the next couple weeks are

>> chuck, i honestly don't know.as i've said before, i really thought that he was going to be a wisconsin senator in the mold of an independent maverick. he's become a wisconsin senator in the cold of joe mccarthy. i don't know what's happened to him. in that performance on sunday it was embarrassing to himself. it was embarrassing to the state and frankly it was embarrassing to anyone like me that ever supported him. so i don't know this vortex that draws people on the right, conservative republicans into this crazy conspiracy theory maw. it's been very powerful. and i was -- after i watched that, i really had to ask myself whether or not he is going to be running for re-election here in wisconsin because i will tell you that he will have a target on his back, and if you watch what happened in georgia earlier this week if you mobilize and motivate democrats, states like wisconsin are going to, you know, will potentially be out of reach for republicans. >> very quickly, charlie, i want to remind people of the irony.

in this case, chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell. prior to the november elections, senate republicans spent a bulk of their time processing judicial nominees supported by democrats overwhelmingly and had a majority of republicans opposed to them. the rhetoric surrounding the nominations process does not match up with reality. i expect that process to continue to be fairly agreeable. you will have hot button controversial supreme court nominee seats and maybe an appellate seat every now and then. almost 80% of the judicial nominations, i expect to see cooperation. with regards to the filibuster and the nuclear option, chuck schumer is in a difficult spot. if you look at the rhetoric surrounding the georgia election on both sides, somehow it means the difference between lightness and dark between the republic falling into the ocean and not, the civil fact is that is not the case. the expectations are that because democrats have the majority they can do a whole lot of stuff that they, quite frankly, aren't going to be able to do because

this has been building, chuck and andrea, for years. and yes, these resignations that we're seeing today, great, better late than never. at the same time, where have you been? you have seen this coming, you knew who this man was. you didn't wake up today and suddenly realize testifies dangerous. this has been a part of who he has been since the very start. and remember, these republican lawmakers, many of his own staffers, were against him in the beginning, they called him a demagogue, they said he was dangerous in 2015 and 2016. after the "access hollywood" tape they said they could never support him. yet they did. they went along, they ignored tweets, "oh, i didn't see it," they ignored statements, they equivocated, they said we were blowing it up. and this is what resulted. >> each time, each time, and that's the question here, what is the unintended consequence of no accountability this time. i'm going to leave that meatball hanging in there a little bit. i'll bring in our reporters. let's get the latest from our nbc news reporters.

at the same time, washington is very complicated, chuck. how are you ferreting things out?on the worry that there was an insurrection last week, which i know you and i, we talk about this stuff you aren't used to this. none of us are used to this. how does the creeo of a major d jones company deal with these things >> well, certainly the role of the ceo has changed significantly over the last few years, and it changed again last week and i think that what we're trying to do, my colleagues and i, we're just trying to be unifying functions to the extent we can and just try to focus on moving forward and i think that you know, what we're talking about is next week we have a transition of power, we have a new administration, we have a lot of things we need to do, we have so many challenges in this country right now that it's more important to focus on building out infrastructure in this country, getting the stimulus money out to people who are suffering right now, focusing on cybersecurity and the things that are going on, helping companies get back to the office and have the a

>> chuck -- >> [overlapping talking]. >> sean: a point to make to chuck todd and company. the problem this country is facing crisis of truth in election results. why would anyone ever in their right mind believe a chuck todd or anyone in the media mob? at this point they are repulsive and corrupt. and todd wants to talk about 9-11 truthers. chuck is a russia hoax truther who liked so many lied to you the people for 3 straight years. trump russian collusion one big lie. why would anybody place any trust or what these powerful constitutions, democrats never once spoke out about the corruption. that trust was shattered even when i declared journalist dead in 2007. in 2015 if you told me that hillary clinton would never face any legal consequences for violating the espionage act or deleting here subpoenaed emails. i would not have believed it. 2-tiered just system. if you would have told me in 2015 she would never be held accountable for a dirty russian collusion filled with russia propaganda and disinformation that she distributed, i would haven't believed that either. if you

chuck: thanks for having me. i think there's going to be a wholesale review in this country of how we protect significant events here domestically that have a national and international second -- significance here. during the events that took place at the capital on january 6 -- capitol on january 6, under way was the certification of the presidential election. it wasn't designated by the department of homeland security as a significant special event and therefore security enhancements were not in place. it was essentially treated as every other day by the united states capitol police. so, let us talk about what dhs has available to them. they have a robust presence of law enforcement resources within, including the united states secret service. they also have the ability to designate events that hold significant place in our country as a national special security event, which places the secret service in charge of security coordination, brings in the fbi in charge of intelligence planning, fema in terms of recov

anthony fauci told chuck todd that the u.s. should stick to protocol for administering the vaccine. >> we know what the science tells us, so my feeling and my direct answer to your question, chuck, is let's do it the way the clinical trials have instructed us to do it, but let's get more efficient into getting it into people's arms. >>> joining me now is colorado governor jared polis. thank you very much for being with us, governor. first of all, fewer than half of the doses received in colorado have been administered according to the late of the data on your own state's health department websi website. tell me about the delay and how frustrating this must be for you? >> this would be good news if we're able to double our dosages of moderna. that would be welcome news. we sat down in colorado all the people were work with for vaccinations, community health centers, others, we want to make sure it's given in someone's arms within 72 hours. if not, we reassign that partner to another partner that can successfully deploy it that w

really quickly, chuck.ause there's an assumption that they don't agree to the background commitments that allow for disagreement, that by their actions they are in some ways -- they've revealed that they might not be committed to democracy as such. so, yeah, it makes sense to me. >> amy, you heard adam kinzinger earlier. it's hard to look at it and say, boy, this is going to be successful. how should he measure success? it may not be to win a primary in 2022, but how would you measure success for his organization. >> that is a really good question because the reality, chuck -- we've been seeing this for the last 20 or so years, that the c basically been falling apart both on the republican side and the democratic side. there are very few centrists left, very few people who see the idea of compromise as something that is a good thing. that leaves you in this place where you have people literally arguing on two very different platforms. that makes it very difficult to meet somewhere in the middle. i think wha
