senator debbie stabenow, thank you for being with us. i'm speechless about what's going on in the united states senate. disregarding everything that heidi just said about the fact that there's no basis for this and it probably won't succeed, there is remarkable damage to us and our democracy and our trust in institutions that 12 united states senators are going along with this, there's a word we use in canada, i can't say it on tv, nonsense i'll call it. >> ali, first of all, it's wonderful to be with you as always, i really appreciate your voice and your show. and of all the damage that's been done in four years, and there's been a lot of it, this is the worst, right? because we're at a point now where basically we've got 12 united states senators, republicans, saying it doesn't matter how people voted, it just doesn't matter, we've decided we want donald trump or at minimum, we're too weak to stand up to him, which i think is part of what this is all about. it's like the bully is going to bully them one more time. and so for instance i

. >>> debbie stabenow called for trump to be removed as president. debbie, your reaction to the reaction of mitch mcconnell, which i think some people are surprised by. >> first of all, i'm not surprised that he knows donald trump committed impeachable acts. he knows that. he's a bright man. the question will be whether or not he's going to stand with senator schumer who has asked him to use the powers that they have under a 2004 senate resolution to bring us back in an emergency to the senate to be able to act. so after the house acts, if he really means it, then he will join with chuck schumer, welcome back into session, and we will have the trial, and we will get this done and he'll join us in doing that. to me, that will be the test as to whether or not he means it. >> that's a good point. so you believe he has, under his power, to bring you back and start this trial. should the president be impeached tomorrow, as we expect, from this one article that's been offered, his incitement of this mob in pursuit of this project to overturn a democratic el

joining me is debbie stabenow, democrat from michigan. good to see you, ma'am. i want to play something that daniel goldman said last night on all in with chris hays. >> you are sort of trampling on the ordinary process of impeachment just to get as -- to try to remove him. but that's not going to happen before january 20th. everyone needs to be clear. he will not be removed by the senate before january 20th. so what are you trying to gain through impeachment? it's unclear to me that it's worth the time and energy practically speaking because it's not going to work. >> senator, what do you make of that? >> well, first, great to be with you and basically we have two things we're trying to accomplish right now. one is to hold this president accountable for something unimaginable and un-american and this was not american to have this insurgency that cost people's lives and he needs to be held accountable along with the people involved. but secondly, how to make sure that more people aren't hurt or killed as a result of his reckless actions in the next 11 days. so t

. >>> and joining me now is senator debbie stabenow of michigan.th you. >> so, senator, one of the things that came up after the insurrection of january 6th here at the u.s. capitol was people went back and looked at what happened in your state, in michigan, in lansing, the storming of the state capitol there. from your perspective as a michigander, do you view what happened in your state as a dry run for what happened here in washington on january 6th? >> well, jonathan, certainly it was very similar. it was some of the same people. it was those involved in militias and white supremacy groups and so on. it was the same kind of thinking, those that want to physically, violently overturn the government, are willing and in some cases eager to kill elected officials and others in the process. so, very similar, which is why i'm so supportive of what president biden rolled out with his three-point plan as it relates to focusing on domestic terrorism. we know ever since janet napolitano told us when she was secretary of homeland security that this is the

capitol and then reaction from debby stabenow and tim kaine.ing joe" is just moments away. >>> the storming of the u.s. capitol yesterday by trump supporters raises crucial questions about the possibility of law enforcement complicity. with a complex -- its own 2,000 member police force, people were able to force their ways into the halls of capitol without deadly weapons. they merely had to push and wave flag poles and "the washington post" reports current and former law enforcement officials said it appeared the u.s. capitol police and other agencies had failed to anticipate the size and intentions of the crowd that trump urged to march up pennsylvania avenue to where lawmakers were gathered. the video also seems to show officers simply moving out of the way and allowing the mob to enter the building undeterred. there was even an officer caught on video taking a selfie with one of the rioters. yesterday's tepid response to white house protesters taking over -- excuse me to taking over the capitol was a stark contrast to the assault on black l

debbie stabenow said watch to see if he calls the senate before the 19th. and he said we're not coming back until the 19th and i haven't made up my mind on impeachment. what do you understand that means for the trial? >> well, if donald -- if donald trump is not on trial for the next five days, which i wish he was in order to ensure that we remove him as quickly as possible, his finger is still on the nuclear trigger. he's a completely unstable human being. then we will have to begin when the democrats are in the majority right after the inauguration to begin trial of donald j. trump, president of the united states, for the high crime against the united states for clearly endangering our democracy. >> i've asked this of others and i've seen reporting on it so i'll ask you too. do you worry about a traffic jam? i've covered the senate up close. i never have quite been able to make sense of the intricacies of the legislative calendar in the senate, there's lots of stuff that you got to do this for seven hours before you come back. do you worry that the impeac
