just tonight, if this report about fred upton is correct, and we have not yet confirmed it.would make four house republicans who are going to vote with democrats to impeach president trump. and we're following this bombshell reporting first from "the new york times" and also from cnn that republican senate leader mitch mcconnell may also be in support of impeachment efforts, which raises the live prospect that the president will not only be impeached in the house tomorrow, he will be convicted in the senate. if of course that happens before the inauguration, that conviction would have the effect of forcibly removing him from office. i should also tell that you late tonight just within this past hour, the democratic leadership in the house has unveiled this list of nine democratic congressmen and women they've assigned to basically run the proceedings in the senate trial if the president is indeed impeached tomorrow. these will be the house impeachment managers who essentially prosecute the president before the senate. the list that we just got includes congressman jamie rask

host: you're calling from michigan, two of your representatives from that state, fred upton, a longtime representative, and brand new representative peter meijer who took over the seat held by justin amash, both voted for impeachment is that reflective of how you think michigan -- caller: my whole family is from michigan. i have voted both ways. i voted for donald trump. and i'm not happy with our state. i do know someone, i don't want to get into this with you but somebody did work the election in detroit and did see things that were not right. whatever happens to biden's -- until biden's end i'm so afraid we're going to lose our country, freedom and it's going to be fast. i don't appreciate that. i don't appreciate -- michigan is a beautiful state. it's just sad. but anyway, i agree with carol and -- host: ok. to layla, next up, san jose, california, democrats line. caller: i just want to say that there are a lot of immigrants in this country that have come from places where they witnessed revolution, they witnessed the toppling of their own government. when they saw what they saw on

josh gottheimer, and fred upton join me now. welcome, both. good to see you together, working together. congressman gottheimer, what are your concerns, if any, that you haven't gotten good answers to about this $1.9 trillion package? >> well, right now, my biggest focus is making sure we get something passed and into law and so my biggest concern is figuring out how to get a bipartisan package out. the democrats and republicans can get behind it because as you've reported, andrea, we're looking at 425,000 deaths in our country, the numbers keep going up. we have a lot of families who are hungry and a lot of businesses that are hurting. the key is how do we get vaccine money out fast and support out fast to get more shots in the arms, to help -- unemployment is going to roll off those extra dollars in march, and more direct support out to folks. the questions we've had are about making sure we can get a bipartisan package out the door as quickly as possible. >> congressman upton, what do you do? there's so much opposition in your own party in t

liz cheney of wyoming, dan new house, jamie herrera butler of washington, fred upton, david val la, tomof south carolina, anthony gonzales of ohio, adam kinzinger from illinois. >> this may cost me my job, it may not. but this is the kind of decision that is worth putting it all on the line, because quite honestly, more time in congress is not worth losing what i believe to be an honor-losing vote. i think we have to understand that many people, even many of the people at this rally, went there because they were misled, that the election was stolen. so it's a process to inform people of how they were misled, about the importance of the peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: house republican leader kevin mccarthy, long-time ally of the president, placing blame on trump for last week's attack on the capitol. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when the violence unfolded. >> reporter: but he sided with the nays saying impeachment would tear the country apart with such little time left. >> a

overnight at least five house republicans said they'll vote to impeach including michigan congressman fred upton age congresswoman cheney, the third highest member. cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney, writing, trump summoned this mob, assembled this mob and lit the flame of atack adding there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constitution. meanwhile, in the senate a source tells abc news majority leader mitch mcconnell said he believes the president did commit impeachable offenses. >> mitch mcconnell, who is infuriated with the president, has not spoken to him since before the attack, and he, i am told by two people close to the republican leader, welcomes the impeachment in the house. that said he has not said to anybody that i know of how he'll actually vote in a senate trial. >> reporter: "the new york times" reports mcconnell is, quote, pleased about the impeachment vote believing it will make it easier to purge trump from the republican party. also this morning, republican senator rob portman speaki

also publicly calling for impeachment, adam kinzinger from illinois, fred upton, and jimmy butler. >>r, we only have those six. liz cheney said the president of the u.s. some into this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. everything that followed was his doing. john katko said, to allow the president of the u.s. to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of our democracy. i cannot sit by without taking action. similar thoughts for jamie butler. the argument is to not further inflow in the country or alienate republican voters, she said, but i am a republican voter, my own party will be best served when those among us choose the truth. let's go to wisconsin and speak to the president of the village of teams below. i'm sure you have been watching. you're a political junkie, just like we are. what do you make a fiddle -- what do you make of it all? >> i think it is political theater. i'm among the group that thanks to hao-ching chan -- the house and senate should focus on the house floor. there's a lot of work the american people woul

and michigan congressman fred upton declared, "i would have preferred a bipartisan, formal censure rather than a drawn-out impeachment process. i fear this will now interfere with important legislative business and a new biden administration. but it is time to say enough is enough. thus, i will vote to impeach." forcefully said. it reminds me of that stirring scene from "spartacus." >> i'm spartacus! >> i'm spartacus >> i'm spartacus! >> i'm spartacus! >> i would have preferred not to have to be spartacus, given how important my own identity is to me and the fear that we might all suffer punishment at a time when rome should just move forward, but enough is enough. so i, reluctantly, is also spartacus. i guess. >> stephen: but by far, the most significant statement was this: "there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states. i will vote to impeach the president." that, from liz cheney. she's the head of the house republican caucus! she's the third-ranking republican! she's the second-ranking cheney! that's how awful this president is. he has made me grateful to

republican congressman adam kinginger, fred upton, they have said they will vote with the vast majority of democrats to impeach. the white house says they expect 20 or more republicans to vote for impeachment in the house. mul multiple sources saying president worried about himself and his adult children heefting heating up hotter. one saying he might issue a blanket pardon to cover himself and his children up until the time he leaves office. that is all 50 states under threat. think of all i'm telling you. voting on the 25th amendment. which means the president cannot handle his job. then they talk about impeachment. republicans are jumping ship. like a frog in hot water. they are jumping ship right now, and every state capitol, rioters, protests. that is where we are right now. had federal authorities are saying what happened at the u.s. capitol is worse than we know. the acting u.s. attorney says we will be shocked by the detail. >> some will be shocked with some of the agregregious contac that happened in the capitol. >> if we are going to be shocked in the coming day, what the hell

three other republican house members, john katko, adam kinzinger, and fred upton said they would vote. president trump has dismissed calls for removal. >> free speech is under assault like never before. the 25th amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt joe biden and the biden administration as the expression goes, be careful what uyou wish for. the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the usa, especially at this very tender time >> well, you tube has joined other social media giants in taking action against president trump, banning him from uploading new content for at least seven days the google owned company has disabled comments on trump's channel indefinitely, citing concerns about violence. this follows similar moves by facebook and twitter i'm happy to bring in jasmine mcnealy, an attorney and associate professor of telecommunications at the university of fl

and fred upton, dan newhouse, anthony gonzales, tom rice and david value day owe.ay's vote the latest in the relentless radical dem political persecution of president trump for more than four years by the establishment of both parties, big business, wall street, the corporate media and big tech. did i mention big media? president trump has suffered four years of the radical dems' claims that his election in 2016 was, quote, illegitimate, a brazenly false accusation. but nonetheless, the premise for what has been four years of radical dem persecution. president trump has suffered through constant attacks from the left, the resistance movement if, phony investigations by the fbi and special counsel robert mueller. and now, after having failed the first time they tried to impeach him, the radical left giving baseless impeachment a second effort. in the president's final days in office. talk about pure, unadulterated banality on the part of the democrats. during the house debate today, republicans -- including congressman matt gaetz -- passionately defended president t

liz cheney, wyoming, john katko of new york, adam kinzinger of illinois, fred upton of michigan an jamie herrera from washington. some. president's allies are saying stand strong. saying the president is being treated unfairly. >> americans are tired of double standard. democrats objected more than republicans did last in 2016 but. reporter: others say the process is rushed with no hearings, no witnesses, and unnecessary. >> we're coming off a horrific event that resulted in six deaths. we have an opportunity to move forward but we cannot if the majority insists on bringing the country through the trauma of another impeachment. reporter: democrats should have the votes to pass the impeachment article tore for crenocytement of. >> this is sad time in the history of our country. no one is celebrating. no one wants to see this occur. reporter: expecting 10 to 20 republicans to break ranks and vote to impeach. neil? neil: nike emanuel, thank you very, very much. the timeline on this is a vote later on this afternoon. it could come anywhere from three to 5:00 p.m. eastern time. again, the dem

he joins fellow republican members of congress like liz cheney, fred upton, dan neuhaus censured for while trump is gone, his grip on the party remains. some state republican parties like ohio's are so devoted, they propose a state holiday to honor the one term president. in hawaii, a high ranking official resigned after tweeting people that you be described to q fiction were largely motivated pie sincere and deep love for america, patriotism should never be ridiculed. texas gop gave itself a new slogan, we are the storm, a dog whistle to qanon supporters. the republican party chair says that's not the case. few hours after the capitol hill insurrection, 8 of 9 republicans in pennsylvania's state congressional delegation voted to throw out biden's electoral votes. now in arizona, republican state representative introduced a bill to give legislators the ability to revoke secretary of state certification of voting results anytime before inauguration. this after the republican party censured cindy mccain, doug fluke, and doug ducey. with the gop showing no signs of changing and in many

fred upton of michigan. now, that is the fourth republican to say yes by name, all right?swoman liz cheney, you have kinzinger, you have katko, and now upton. but a white house official tells cnn they believe there may be as many as 20 members of congress joining democrats tomorrow and backing this effort. now, remember, democrats don't need it. but this is about politics. this is political will. this is not a legal process. it really isn't. we have to remember that. i know you heard it a ton last time, but we forget, because on our head is a maelstrom of new problems all the time. again, president ford said it right. an impeachable offense is anything congress says it is. that's why consensus is so essential. if you have republicans in the house joining democrats, what momentum will that cause in the senate? i have an insider, senator joe manchin of west virginia. what does he see in the state of play? senator joe manchin, thank you. >> thank you for having me, chris, always good to be with you. >> so as my straight broker on the situation, what do you make of all this ta

other republican house members have now announced their vote for impeachment including congressman fred upton of michigan and congressman adam kinzinger of illinois who issued a statement saying, "there is no doubt in my mind that the president of the united states broke his oath of office and incited this insurrection. if these actions are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense? i will vote in favor of impeachment." leading off our discussion now is democratic congressman eric swalwell of california. he's a member of the house judiciary committee and the house intelligence committee. and speaker pelosi has just named him a house impeachment manager in the next senate impeachment trial of donald trump. congressman swalwell, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what have you learned from the first impeachment trial of donald trump that you will be bringing to the second? >> thank you, lawrence. and i'm honored the speaker has the confidence in me and the team, but watching mr. schiff and his leadership and the team there, it's that they warned us that everything

you sleep money pumped into fred upton. tom rice will get hit, too. i talked to these individuals.raid. there angry, that they understand the challenges coming. i think it remains to be seen what happens. from what i'm saying on data and what people believe in the committees and how they are voting, there is trepidation with people like liz who voted for impeachment. judy: whit, you said a lot depends on how president biden governs. in the meantime, are you concerned we could see more violence like what we saw at the capitol on january 6? there is a warning about domestic terrorism. i'm man was found with explosives in his car threatening governor newsom of california today, a democrat. are we headed for a period where we may see more violence? whit: you can't guarantee we won't, not with the kinds of emotions out there. it is incredibly divisive when someone like congressman gates goes to the home district of a leader of the republican house caucus and attacks them. that makes people angrier. i think we are in a tenuous time and it is really dangerous to be continuing to feed peop

number three ranking republican in the house along with congressman john katko, adam kinzinger, and fred upton have all said, they will, in fact, cross over and vote to impeach trump. cheney, of course, the daughter of dick cheney. her statement said in part, "there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states, of his office and his oath to the constitution." today trump tried to frame this fast-moving impeachment push as just part of an ongoing campaign against him. >> the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch-hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the usa, especially at this very tender time. >> as the investigation into the capitol attack continues, "the new york times" reports federal authorities had warned the president about the possibility of violence the sunday before the riots last wednesday. "the times" writes, "top officials in government had reason to be deeply concerned about the possibility o

also from michigan, fred upton. trump won by 4. also from washington state.go. these are the most interesting in terms of trying to discern motivation here. five members, republican members from districts that trump carried. adam kinzinger has been an outspoken opponent for a while. that wasn't a surprise. this one, tom rice from south carolina, the myrtle beach area, a district trump carried by 20 points. heavily, heavily republican district. that was the biggest surprise for people yesterday. newhouse from washington, of course, liz cheney, part of the republican leerm at large. she represents the entire state of wyoming and wyoming overwhelmingly a trump state. whether you're talking about these republicans in heavily trump districts, or any of the others we put up there. the obvious question is beyond the general election, the republican primary, did the vote they cast yesterday endanger these republicans potentially for a republican primary challenge in 2022 the. how will the base react? will that linger for two years until the next round of republican p

fred upton, a good friend of mine, talk about this five, ten times a day. i work with members of congress on both sides of the aisle and i have every intention to continue to do that. there are members of congress that are from my home state or people i work on on other projects in which i'm very disappointed in some of the things they've done. i have gone and sat down and talked to them, why i think it's bad for democracy and community. but the fact of the matter is, we can't give it up. we've got to. biden's words were music to my ears when i heard him say that. he is the president of all americans, not just democrats, and that's what we haven't had for four years, quite frankly. it's time to pull together and every one of us in the house and senate has a responsibility to get our jobs done for the people we re-elect, we're tired of the partisan politics. they're tired of a lot of this whatever. i'll tell you, as a democrat, donald trump got 70 million votes. a small portion showed up in the capitol and none of us, i'll never forget that day in history fo

jamie herrera-butler, moderate, john katko from upstate new york, fred upton from western michigan, most significantly liz cheney. she is the chair of the house republican conference, the third highest ranking republican in the house of representatives, and she believes that the president's conduct contributed to this riot and she says he must be held accountable. she said, i will vote to impeach. so watch to see how many republicans break ranks. i was told it could go as high as 20, but i spoke with steve scalise this morning and he didn't think it would be quite that high. he thought it would be closer to the five number. the other thing to watch for, and this is confusing some of us on capitol hill. once you vote to impeach, you have to send to the senate who the managers are, the prosecutors, who will present the case. two years ago, last year i should say, it was adam schiff, democratic from california. this time it will be jamie raskin. but what's unclear is when they would send the articles over. you can't start the senate trial until you get the articles of impeachment. nancy pel

and those people that voted for impeachment, obviously, and i know fred upton, he's one of the peoplehat voted for impeachment. he doesn't play much conscience. he's a man of -- are we going to say, here's the thing that's important. i don't know if david would agree with this. it's not just that trump's tweets or personal behavior was bad and all his policies were good, his policies were fought go not good. think about this. he tried to kill obamacare with no alternative or plan to go forward people with pre-existing conditions would be at risk. look at what he's done with immigration. he used immigration. immigrants were used as scape goats to further his demagoguery. as a part of that, the party got behind reducing illegal immigration to miniscule amount. think of the name calling and charlottesville and how people didn't stand up and correct that. think about police and community reform, which he's ignored. i mean, the party is not going to be successful, erin, in my opinion if they think those policies were fine. the trade policies. they were nothing but but attacks on the americ

and i do believe there's going to be a lot of challenge and money pumped into that race, against fred upton gonzalez, i think tom rice is going to get hit, too. i talked to a lot of these individuals. they're not afraid, they're angry, but they do understand there's a real challenge coming. i believe whit is direct, remains to seen what's going to happen, but what i'm seeing on the data, what people believe, the committees and how they're voting, i think there's trepidation with liz and the voter for impeachment. >> woodruff: whit ayers, you said a lot depends on how presidepresident biden governs. could we see more violence? there's a warning out from the department of homeland security, that domestic terrorism, a man was found with explosive in his car threatening governor newsom today, a democrat. are we headed for a period where with emay see more violence, do you think? >> the judy, you can't guarantee that we won't, not with the kinds of emotions that are out there. i mean, it's incredibly divisive, when someone like congressman gaetz goes out to the home district of a leader of the r

and it's not just adam, but fred upton has been candid about it in "the new york times" this week. but there are a number of the republican caucus. it's complicated. >> all right. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining me this morning. i appreciate it. >>> we've got to turn now to wall street and look at markets this morning. they've opened up just slightly after we got the jobs report. we learned in the last hour that the united states lost 140,000 jobs in december. that is a major road block in the nation's economic recovery and the first time that number has been negative since last april. but here's what's important to note that even amid the absolute chaos at the capitol this week, the stock market kept rising, even breaking records. because wall street seems to be more focused on the fact that democrats won control of the senate and without president trump's stronghold on the republican party, there may be a unique opportunity, maybe a short-term honeymoon like post-9/11 for lawmakers to actually get something done, which is what voters want. joining us to discuss, aust

"the new york times" jonathan martin, who co-authored that report tweeted yesterday that a senate republican aide said he thinks there were about 20 republicans, give or take, who are open to a conviction and that was before publishing the piece on mitch mcconnell.
