i'm with maggie, i think that that seems unrealistic. what we haven't seen is some type of intervention have top republican leaders who are willing to say to the president, point-blank, this has to stop. even in the remaining days, there has to be a different tone. you are doing grave damage to the country. and i think last night was a reckoning for republicans who took a hard look at what they've wrought by their silence. and i have to say on the security question, which is becoming a bigger story, as we pull back from the horrible events of yesterday and nothing should overshadow the responsibility of those who actually stormed the capitol, i mean, my goodness, after 9/11, it's possible to storm the capitol? and put -- having some yahoo put his feet up on the house speaker's desk. what if they had been armed? we could have been looking at carnage yesterday. i'm shocked that that's the case, and you pointed out, the inconsistency, the horrible hypocrisy, if this had been black lives matter protesters, imagine the police response we woul

maggie makes the point about progressives and how long they will wait. joe biden did win the election. progressives did bite their tongue on some policy differences with him. they stood together and they won. listen to bernie sanders who says, i understand what you're doing, president biden, however, i'm going to be the budget committee chairman, we have this process called reconciliation. reach out to republicans? see how long. >> i don't know what the word compromise means. i know that working families are living today in more economic desperation than since the great depression. and if republicans are willing to work with us to address that crisis, welcome. let's do it. but what we cannot do is wait weeks and weeks and months and months to go forward. we have got to act now. >> we knew this was coming and now we're watching it play out. there is -- i'm going to call it creative tension. sometimes it's creative tension, sometimes it gets to be more than that. democrats know joe biden, but we won a campaign, let's go. >> and they remember president obam

maggie was found abandoned near the rescue centre.op industry and then was kept as a pet. he was given to the team here when he became too big to handle. we have carers who bring maggie and chico into the forest every day, and we encourage them to climb in the trees, usually by throwing fruits into the trees wrapped in vines or something like that. we were hoping that he would copy maggie who is more wild. chico is a little bit more fond of humans. he's coming to say hello now. 0k. hi, chico. should i be worried? it's ok, just stay calm. hi, chico. 0h, hello. chico's holding my hands. hello, chico. 0h, hi. i think chico likes my shoes. i didn't quite expect that, human interaction. he's almost like a small child. does that hark back to the days when he was used as a photo prop or even a pet? he would have been poached from the wild as a very young infant and has been with humans most of his life. we're trying to erase that to a certain extent but the stark reality of a photo prop animal is, it's not all fun and games like we just saw

in the meantime, joining us is david chalian and maggie haberman. david, i want to put those pictures back up so people can see what joe biden is going to be gazing at from the west front of the u.s. capitol there. there it is at dark. you can see the flags lit up there. you know, it's so point yentd in a way no people. in a way joe biden is going to be staring into the abyss, david, both literally and figuratively. yes, american flags instead of people there, but it's just such a moment. i have to believe not the moment that joe biden ever thought about in the 36 plus years that he's been running for president on and off. >> yeah. we forget that this is his third -- this was his third attempt at the presidency. 50-year career basically in washington, d.c. and, of course, there's nothing, there's nothing about this election in 2020, nothing about this transition and nothing about the inauguration tomorrow that is as joe biden would have envisioned it, but this is the moment that he is now being asked to meet by the country. and you hear about how he

borden, and the reason she was called maggie is because maggie is the name of their last housekeeper, and they just couldn't be bothered to learn a new name, so anyway, mrs. borden did maggie, ka bridget sullivan, another favor which was to ask her to wash windows that morning inside and outside, so that meant that bridget sullivan happened to be outside washing windows in sight of other people at the time that mrs. borden was killed, and so that seemed to rule her out of that possible murder, and it was thought that whoever killed mrs. borden had killed mr. borden as well. at the time mr. borden was killed, she was upstairs in her attic room napping. the family had suffered from some food poise anything the day before, and she was feeling unwell and possibly was getting a head start on her -- on her usual thursday half day. so that left one person, and that was andrew borden's younger daughter lizzie who was 32 years old, unmarried, still living at home. she had an older sister named emma who was ten years older, but she had been away visiting friends for about two weeks so she was d

maggie haberman tweeting that the paperwork was signed at 11:30 p.m. bannon was on the outs with donald trump for the last few years of the presidency, having been so close to him early on, because of a book, but it seems like in the final hours, as donald trump is being shunned by the more establishment wings of the republican party, as mitch mcconnell is all but signaling that he may vote to convict him, donald trump is looking to some old allies that he needs close by to him. and steve bannon was certainly somebody who stood close by, even in hard times. one of the only aides to stick by him during the "access hollywood" tape drama. as many aides disappeared for many hours or days, or went

analysis from abby phillip and maggie haberman of the "new york times."gin with this effort by the house minority leader kevin mccarthy to stop this infighting among house republicans. do you think it will be successful? >> it seems unlikely that it will be successful. just given that kevin mccarthy is trying to balance two things at once, wanting to move his party forward but not wanting to lose the support of his membership and the leadership position he has. but what's happening in the rank and file of the gop is that those members have no doubt about what the future of the republican party is. they believe very firmly that it is with former president trump. and so you're seeing them really pushing back on people like liz cheney and those other ten republicans who voted for impeachment who are facing enormous backlash. and i don't think that that's going to change anytime soon. i think this is really a message being directed at kevin mccarthy, that the power lies with the trump base, not with him or any other establishment figures who might want to try

maggie, you win. i start with you. you're outside in the elements.ell us about the -- >> i'm wearing a hood, i hope a win. >> oh, you do. >> tell us about this new day that is dawning and what's going to happen behind you? >> reporter: right behind us is a stage where president trump is expected to give remarks, somewhere between 15 to 20 minutes long some time after 8:00 a.m. when he leaves the white house for the final time. there is a set-up behind me in front of the stage where they have arranged barricades where crowds of spoupporters can come. you can hear behind me, there is a marching band drummer who is practicing. and then the president will leave and he will be alone without other republican figures, mitch mcconnell, kevin mccarthy, they will not be on hand and mike pence, the vice president, they're going to the inauguration of joe biden. so you're going to have once again in this tumultuous presidency, a split screen between donald trump and either the rest of his party or the rest of the country. >> you know, it's actually a coincidence

it was a punch in a gut for a lot of athletes who worked so hard, but as maggie sees it, when you'ready training for adversity, being able to deal with hardships surrounding the pandemic is what being an athlete is all about. >> we always want to control what we can control but sometimes that gets smaller and smaller and smaller. >> reporter: with six months until the tokyo games, maggie steffens and her water polo teammates have only recently been aloud back in the pool. for six months, training on dry land, no chlorine. >> i think it's made us appreciate the training that we have even more and almost like we've been given this extra opportunity to improve. >> reporter: stefens led her team to gold in the 2012 and 2016 games. in spite of the truncated training this time around, she's confident she can bring home a third gold in what she believes to be the most important olympics ever. >> there's almost this greater power to this olympics. there's this idea of we now have an opportunity to portray our resilience and our inspiration, not just as a team, or not just as a country but an

joining us now are cnn political analyst, maggie haberman. and her colleague, jonathan martin, broke the mcconnell story in "the new york times" and cnn political commentary scott jennings, who is a long-time campaign adviser to senator mitch mcconnell and can help us understand his thinking. great to have both of you here. maggie, tell us your reporting about where mcconnell is this morning on his thought process. >> sure, so jonathan martin and i reported yesterday that senator mitch mcconnell is pleased by the impeachment proceedings that democrats are moving ahead with. he is not whipping votes in one direction or the other. he wants to see how it plays out, but he believes this moment will make it easier to purge the party of donald trump. and again, he is not saying where he is. i just want to make that clear, but this is notably different than what we saw with mitch mcconnell in the last impeachment, where he held the line very firmly against witnesses. he was very much whipping votes in the president's support, i think, that mitch mcc

joining us now is cnn political analyst maggie haberman. i have to ask you about that reporting that you have focussed on. the lawmakers were calling president trump's cell phone for help begging for him to send backup or do something to save their lives while they were cowering and these domestic terrorists were ma rodding through the u.s. capitol and he was too busy watching tv to do anything. >> so i have slightly different reporting alisyn that we reported last week. it's not that he was too busy because he was so consumed, which he was. he was engaging with aides as this was all going on. they were interrupting, telling him he had to do something. they were interrupting telling him that the capitol was being overrun by his supporters. he was well aware of it and watching it. he was pleased because it was people fighting on his behalf. he was pleased because he liked the scene. he was pleased because it was delaying the certification of the electoral college vote. and those are the reasons why this happened. it wasn't just that the tv w

you and i, maggie, we covered inaugurations over the years.e've seen preparations being made for revelers to gather on the washington mall, to watch the president being sworn in, catch a glimpse of the parade. now it resembles a war zone. we've never seen anything like this, have we? >> not even close. it's so true what you said. there's usually an excitement in the air, no matter which party's president has won and is about to be inaugurated. and the opposite is in the air here. it's -- there's a lot of anxiety, a lot of anxiety. and the fact of the matter is, we cannot underscore this enough. tens of thousands of national guard troops are guarding this city, the nation's capitol, because of a threat that was incited by the president of the united states, who is on his way out and couldn't accept the reality and is still not accepting the reality in any way, shape or form, either in private or in public. we talk about the fact that there aren't tanks in the streets and now it's pretty close. it's a shame. >> you broke the news, maggie, that m

cnn political analyst maggie haberman prbroke this story. she's a washington correspondent. the former president has a list of people he wants to punish now. who is on that list, and how will he do it? >> john, that's right. the former president, as we know, has often been focused on retribution and this moment in time is no exception, although he's taking a few months off or has told people he's taking a few months off to lay low. chief among those targets is governor ryan kemp of georgia. the president has considered the original sin kemp committed against him after trump helped him win to be picking senator kelly loeffler as the replacement for an open seat in georgia. the president wanted doug collins to be chosen. that did not happen. sen since then, the president has been blaming him and the secretary of state in georgia for not throwing the election has way. next up is liz cheney. congresswoman from wyoming and number three in house gop leadership. not clear what he'd like to see her lose, her seat or leadership position but he plans on doing what he can to try to imp

from maggie how did , japanese-americans during the warfield towards japanese war brides? erin: it is an interesting study. it is just what you would imagine. in japan, when they started falling in love and getting married they were looked at as basically prostitutes and enemies. when they came to the states it was the same exact thing. the ladies that were in internment camps during the war, they saw these ladies come in and they were a little upset by it. these ladies had a really difficult time assimilating in america for those reasons. they were experiencing prejudice on both sides. they were subdued at home know it was really in love with them over here. >> thank you. from julie -- have you explored war brides from other wars? erin: in my research for this and i am just a world war ii researcher. i have a passion for it. i did find some articles on the same thing in world war i. it was handled a little directly. the prejudice wasn't as obvious as it was in world war ii. i have not done enough research to really be able to answer that question as well. >> thank you. fr

this is the leader of the country who sat and watched, according to maggie haberman at "the new york times," with something closing to enthusiasm or delight as his crazed, extremist supporters were attacking the u.s. capitol. >> this is the most unsettling thing about this entire incident which is that we have a president of the united states who is psychologically unable or unwilling to protect the country in the ways that we expect our commander in chief to do. i think we all have to acknowledge that given the fact that this was a terror attack that was incited overtly by the president of the united states that he is in sympathy with the goals of the insurrection. the fact that we have not heard from leaders of government agencies about exactly what they are doing, that it's an incredibly frightening time. the best thing that we've got going for us was -- as jonathan indicated a moment ago, that everybody's eyes are now open after this incident last week, and law enforcement officials of good will around the country in the states and in washington, and i would include christopher w

this report from jonathan martin and maggie haberman. quote, senator mitch mcconnell of kentucky, the republican leader, has told associates that he believes president trump committed impeachable offenses. and he's pleased that democrats are moving to impeach him. and he believes it will make it easier to purge trump from the party. mr. mcconnell has indicated that he wants to see the specific article of impeachment, the house is set to approve on wednesday, and he wants to hear the eventual arguments in the senate. but the senate republican leader has made clear in private discussions that he believes now is the moment to move on from the weakened lame duck president whom he blames for causing republicans to lose the senate. cnn adds this characterization about mcconnell's thinking. quote, mcconnell has made no commitments on voting to convict trump but his silence on impeachment has been deliberate as he leaves open the option of supporting impeachment conviction and removal from office. you'll remember that mitch mcconnell last time a

maggie vandenberg of san francisco shared with me this video taken wednesday at the washington mall, she says she was among those in a huge crowd who turned out to listen to president donald trump speak about election fraud. it was very cold, and many people were sort of. bummed out. it was sort of a defeatist speech, vandenberg, a self described trump supporter, says when people left, many marched to the capitol building for a rally, she tells me people became upset when they learned vice president mike pence decided not to object to the certification of electoral college votes for president elect joe biden. there was a lot of a large feeling of betrayal in the crowd. vandenberg describes the gathering as a largely peaceful protest that turned violent when some people she describes as agitators broke into the capitol building. she also says she saw something unexpected is it seems very bizarre to me that police would open up gates would open up doors would allow people entry. there's about. 15 police officers who are standing by in brian here, not doing anything. they just have thei

>> no, and i think what maggie said in the story is it doesn't look like he's seriously contemplatinghat. i mean, look, the problem for the president is that he doesn't really want a lawyer. he wants a lawyer ssh somebody to play a lawyer on tv. he wants somebody to go on tv and make these bogus claims for him and that's not frankly what he needs for his defense. look, these republican senators -- it's almost certain that the democrats won't get the needed vote, republican votes to actually convict him, but at least some of these republican senators are at least looking for an argument to be made, a legal argument to be made so that they can -- so that they can vote to acquit him, and the kind of -- i mean, you saw that, i think, 45 senators, almost all of the republican senators voted the other day to say that they thought that it was unconstitutional to hold a trial after the president has left office, and so they're looking for somebody to make that case. the president has to file, i think, a legal brief on tuesday, the first legal briefs. he doesn't have a lawyer to write that up

well, maggie haberman from "the new york times" reports mr. trump had directly pressed mr. pence to finding an alternative to certifying mr. biden's win, such as preventing him from having 270 electoral let's and let's the election be thrown to the house to decide. the big problem with that is the constitution that gives pence no power to do anything even close. his job is to count out loud. let's begin where the voting is under way in georgia, two senate seats up for grabs. cnn's ryan young live in cobb county with the very latest. ryan, what are you seeing? >> reporter: you just think about the energy behind all this, a lot of people who live here obviously are tired of all the political ads, the robocalls that have been coming in nonstop. if you think about this the president-elect was here yesterday and the president was here to try to make that final campaign push. there was a line this morning that wrapped around this building at 7:00 a.m. when they opened that door people flowed in very quickly to cast this vote. let's also not forget everyone is wearing the masks, t

maggie haberman from "the new york times" reports that mr. trump directly pressed mr. pence to find an alternative from settering biden's win, like having the election be thrown to the house to decide. the main problem with that is the constitution that gives pence no power to do that. his job is to count out loud. so we have more piece of attempt evidence. steve cohen tells cnn, we are standing on the abyss of the destruction of our democracy. cnn's ryan young live in cobb county, georgia. this is one of the key counties in this state where the polls open shortly. ryan? >> reporter: absolutely. look. this has felt like a marathon. we're finally in that final sprint. on the way here, we saw tons of signs showing election momentum, but when you look back this direction, you can see poll workers are already starting to show up, 3 million people have early voted. a lot of eyes on the state of georgia. >> reporter: the stakes are high in georgia this morning with the control of the senate on the line. >> the whole country is watching us right now because we have the power.
