House managers on Wednesday introduced never-before-seen video and audio recordings of the deadly January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol during the second day of Trump's impeachment trial.

This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Pennsylvania is one of the top ten states with the highest percentage of speeding, related fatalities, speed reduces drivers, ability to react to changing traffic or road conditions. It puts you, your passenger, and others on the road at risk. Speed limits are designed to protect everyone, be alert watch for speed limit signs and Those signs slowdown, save a life, be safe p. I learn more at pen, dot, DOT, Gov, Slash safety paid for with Pennsylvania taxpayer dollars. Did the woggle bug a group of about fifty charging up the hill on the West hot? I just know a body of the stairs bother approaching a while. Now we're doing There are worrying.
you're right, you're right there, in forty nine hours declaring a riot Why What's your point, oh yeah, de the crown no Aren't you why we have been flying We ve lost a line that was the idea of police calls during the January sixth attack on the: U S, capital the moment it became an anew
tolable riot that would eventually breach the building the car. I was part of new evidence released yesterday in the impasse and trial of former President Donald Trump, it is part of the remarkable rivet horrifying evidence, Joe and Willie that we saw laid out yesterday in incredible detail. as moment by moment went by and the capital was breached and then Entered and rioted by these ports of people and here now is house manager, Eric small well showing body can footage of the crowd attacking an officer as he protected the West entrance to the capital and corny very early this morning that this video is disturbing.
Yeah this body, camera footage from for twenty seven p m over two hours from when the capitalist first breached the attack on please that afternoon was constant, Gee, I just wanna know, as this played out for hours and hours and senators were listening to this watching at some of it. For the first time, can you imagine Can you imagine one of them sitting a gallery with his feet up. Reading
magazines or unrelated material during this unbelief presentation of what happened to our? U S, capital that well, you have people that are clearly unfair, that was Josh, Holly and unfit to serve and the United States Capital in the United States Senate. Of course, if your Josh Holly you actually or the person who led the insurrection a person most responsible other than Donald Trump. For that insurrection, you're the person most responsible or police off serving beaten to death, the person most responsible for the cop killing for the cop beating for the abusing it is Josh Holly who makes Mcconnell bagged bag to not do what he did and it is Josh Holly yesterday as their show The images of the vice present
the United States and his wife and his children in endanger their Capitol Hill police officers being killed, being beaten, being abused the capital of the United States overrun by savages by animals. You look at the people in that body. Count footage that those words tromp terrorists, two hours after the riots began two hours after peoples in calling the president hour after people were begging. The present from inside the capital to call off the terrorists to call off the attack
It was a present United States watching all of this gleefully use Donald Trump thrilled. what he was saying, the car killers that he unleashed on the capital. The situation is that he and the least of the United States Senate. It was all part of a bigger plan and it look at that body can footage We never really seen anything like that before in american history, but let me tell you what you're looking at their you're looking at happens when a sitting president, who is stripped of most all of his powers and is desperate to cling onto power unleashes a terrorist mob against the United States, capital against another. Separate branch of government, Willie everyday gets more damning, not just for the present
It states he is already damned by history- is already damned by the voters here already damned by everything that he has done. It is Republicans now who were sitting back like Rick's guide Who is saying that this was his justice, from after watching these cop killers, Darwin and savage police officers after watching this ted? small going in and brutalizing Brutalizing cops and threatening the lives of the republican vice president his family calling for his hanging, calling for his lynching, Willie and rags gods as of this, is all just vindictive against Donald Trump market rules. We are talking about it,
a waste of time. This is just a waste of time, the same ARCA Rubio, who, by the way, was applauding the terrorist out and taxes. that were running people off the road, the savages, maybe not terrorists, but this averages, that bogs, who were running I'm paying workers off the road like this is some third. World contrary and Josh Holly kicking back doing correspondence in the gallery. While we see an american tragedy unfolding piece by piece bid by in front of our very eyes it is there are. There are no words for people. Like me, Molly and crews and Rubio and Rick Scott.
you claim this is a waste of our time, claim that the Senate is being quote vindictive against president from words, but there will be a political judgement at the polls for them The sands really badly for the party that Saudi lost, the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives adjust. It really is the shocking, as these images are those soulless political creatures reaction to it may be just a shock. The same thought Joe. When I heard some of those reactions, they sat through the same presentation that we all sat through and watched on television except they lived through it. called up memories for many of them. It showed them new video that perhaps they didn't realize close. They were to be in the line of these terrorists who stormed the building and yet, as you said, many of them came out and
effectively shrugged her shoulders at what they saw. If you act They watch this video. If you listen to the testimony, if you listen to the argument from the house managers and we're not moved in some way, then some is so dead inside you that your beyond repair fear, Josh, Holly, making, obviously the Bishop himself by sitting up in the gallery, to begin with. Look at me, I get my feet up. He could be at his desk like everyone else or if, after watching you Scott and you come out and call the proceedings. I quote completely. of time say it's vindictive and using this talking point of a few. choice that we ve heard that we ought to be focused on the economy and gain the vaccine out to people, and not can fronting what happened on January. Six, if you are The grand who came out last night and said the prison nation by house managers, was quote offensive. An absurd he wasn't
funded by when he video he was offended by the presentation of the video from house managers. That's a tweet end quote Lindsey Graham Offensive and absurd? You can't watch that presentation yesterday and not understand how close we work to something. Absolutely catastrophic for this country. You just can't it's the video it's in new video. We saw you can't watch the video and that Stan Romney the former nominee for president for the Republican Party, if not for officer Eugene Goodman, getting him to turn around may not be here today. Here's that video thing showed the cop right, so they can someone they profess to support blue lives matter. What would they have done to the people? They hate? People like me, Romney, who they ve been told, was standing in the way of Donald Trump remaining in the White House. What would they have done if they found all those people? Thank God for those police.
Long with Joe willing and may we have Rogers Chair and the American Presidency Vanderbilt university, Pulitzer Prize Winning historian John Mitchell John Occasion The advisers President Biden also with us is Andrew Iceman. He served as chief of the Justice Department, criminal fraudsters, when he was General Council for the FBI under Director Mahler and a lead. Secure and Robert Mahler Especial Councils office he's now and Emerson Busy Legal, analysed and award winning historian. Professor and writer here and blame she's an associate professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh? It is good to have. This morning, so John Major, you often target Margaret J Smith, you have for years, and Mccarthy and what side of history do these? Bob Concenters Wanna be on, and you are I Margaret J Smith,
Seventy years later, still I hero columns are still written about her her name, a conscience, we brought up as as an example for all politicians this, because she stood up to bully in a thug that history caught up with after for five years, a bit by bit better. We without Oliver Stout Donald Trump convicted in the end we certainly should be any reason Person would come to that conclusion. We do know this people, I Gregg Scott, who say this. directive. After seeing everything saying, there's vindictive against Donald Trump ram claiming after watching cop killer terrorize members the United States Senate terrorized. Four he'll police officers terrorize.
My pencil family call for their lunching Lindsey Gram, calling a presentation offensive. These are our members in gay. in doublespeak. There were already convicted themselves. In the eyes of history- there is nothing they can do now. They have convicted themselves, as guilty in the eyes of history, of being accessories their seditious act. By now trying to cover it up. where history tells us, and what experience tells us is that as President Can one setting of every generation is one generation away from from losing liberty We were why two half dozen or more brave police officers from losing? ugly does
Or more lives in in the capital and What you saw yesterday, we watched some of it live obviously on January sex, but you saw not just the power story, but Horror of reality, you know what we were founded. allegedly to be about which was that The enlightenment era is imperfect as it was after the sign. the revolution after Gutenberg after the reformation after the notion that the world was gonna be organised vertically, the Pope's and Kay we're gonna run everything. No Erica, said we're going to try to do this horizontally, we're we're all created equal. We all have the capacity to think for our selves reason take a stand against passion. That's what we want to be about that almost ended
in this. In this work, borrow a phrase from George W Bush on a day of fire, which is what this was I've resisted, for five years now analogies to the nineteen thirties in Europe but I am reminded that in Alabama during the age of George Wallace in the early nineties sixties, the educated folks the sort of way liberals of Alabama Tickly Montgomery, were reading William Shire they were reading the rise and fall of the third Reich to under stand their own totalitarian, state. The white superb this violence that had become the the ambient reality of their time, either
everybody in America should reading the scholarship of what happened in Europe. In the nineteen thirty six, It shows how seemingly civilized people, how close we are to madness. The one final point I was on earth. I had a call from a participant in the the impeachment process? A couple of days ago, skiing my opinion about the historic nature of this house, Compare to Andrew Johnson and I want to say publicly what I said privately. If you want to quit. The president because you don't think his words mattered. Then, if a conservative, isn't urine our philosophy that word, matter.
Isn't that how you decide who's gonna sit on the Supreme Court and the federal bench is that words Matter and so, if they don't fight like hell, doesn't matter which is a lot of republican senators apparently going to end up then does that when, in the course of human events doesn't matter, does it mean to create a more perfect union, does it matter it mean House divided, it cannot stand. Does it matter? Is it being we have now to fear, but fear itself doesn't matter. Does it mean I have a dream: does it matter. the main were shining city on a hill doesn't matter, of course, words matter and make it wasn't. Just the words of that day, it was a six month ramp up turn to what happened Anne, and that was laid out very clearly.
This is seriously this is like this. This is actually bag flying to debate whether the Skies or not. It is so obvious that those tromp terrorists went to the capital, because Donald Trump Push in that way, because Donald Trump words incur Down: that's why it's there all of their legal defences, because they followed Donald Trump, remove Donald Trump from the same again,. what stunning court remove Donald Trump from the cast of characters and ask yourself, would this happen it says it is so obvious. Now this only happened because Donald Trump six months, riled these people up
And turn them into a pack of terrorists and cop killer used his presidential platform to do so. It's obvious and its heart breaking here is Some of the new security camera footage tat. The house impeachment managers reveal gesture showing just how close law makers and their staff came to the pro Trump mob that storm the capital. You know how close you can for the mob. Some of you, I understand, could hear them, but most of the public does not know how close these riders came to you, as you were moving through that hallway I pasted off. You were just Fifty eight steps away from where the mob was amassing and we're police were rushing to stop them.
here in this new video, you see, lady, Lena Shimmer, walking up a ramp going up the ramp with in detail. How soon go out of you. Seconds later, they return and run back down. The hallway and officers immediately shut the door and use their bodies to keep them safe officer. Goodman passes Senator Remit me and directs him to turn around in order to get to safety on the first floor just beneath them. The mob had already started to search for the Senate chamber. You can see vice President Pence and is
Emily quickly move down the stairs, the vice president runs around briefly. As he's headed down the mob, was looking for vice president pants because of his patriotism, because the vice president had refused to do, but the president demand and in return, the election results during the assault on the capital, extremists, reportedly coordinated online and discuss how they could hung down the vice president journalist
in the capital reported they heard riders say they were looking for patents. In order to execute him, trumps supporters had erected a gallows on the lawn in front of the capital building. Another group of writers chanted hang my it's as they stood in the open door of the capital building. You can hear the security alarm from the door in the background and you can hear the mob calling for the death of the vice president of the United States
as you can. See here. The staff moves from offices through the halls and then enters a we're on the right hand, side. That's the outer door of a conference, which also has an inner door that they barricaded with furniture. The staff then he'd under a conference room table in that in a room, in the security of video pay attention The door that we saw staffers, leading into and going into. One of the riders you can see. Throwing him spotty against the door through
times until he breaks open that outer door. Luckily, when faced with the inner door, he moves on. If you look closely, However, at the now infamous pictures of Barnett with his feet on the desk, you might see something that you didn't notice previously. Here's a better look as this vote highlights he's carrying a stun gun tucked into his waistband. The FBI identified device as a nine hundred and fifty thousand volt stun gun walking, stick the weapon could have caused. Serious pain and incapacitated anyone Barnett had used against those people were. They are looking for Nancy policies, autograph. Clearly again, that's part of the present action that Lindsey Grand found quote offensive and absurd and that Rick's got there Lookin Senator Florida called a complete waste of time. The job of the house
People managers, of course, is to connect President Trump to what happened on January sick, so they showed other incidents where President Trump encourage violence from his supporters. Here's part of their presentation of the video of Trump supporters in Texas harassing a Biden Harris Campaign Bus in October, the President of the United States in a campaign saw his own supporters trying to run a bus carrying his opponents campaign workers off the highway to physically intimidate people in this country campaigning
Here was his response. The next day, three show why Frida Donald Trump encouragement of this attack made sure supporters were ready for the next one, the care, Van Bus attack, had been organised by Trump Supporter, main chiefly leading up the attack on our capital of January six, Mr Lee teamed up with other supporters to fund rays to help to bring. people to Washington DC for that day. The morning
the attack. He film footage of the capital What about the flimsiest of fencing, amended trust supporters before the attack, saying quote, I see Is you all get done? Hearing president your get to the capital we mean to surround us place during the attacked he used the bull horn, call out for the mob to rush in he later to the rotunda himself and then back outside to urge the crowd to come inside. These are the people, the president, Trump cultivated, who were standing by delegates taking place, eight of the Virgin Islands a product of Brooklyn. We know that there are many challenges that your businesses face over the past year. Overcoming these
obstacles together has been our strength. One challenge that businesses should never face alone is dealing with the impact of foreign competition in Pennsylvania. We support. your business and employs through benefits and resources, learn more but how we can help you at De L, I dont be a dot gov, Slash, rapid response paid for with pensive, taxpayer dollars hey everyone, it's true, mainly MSNBC, corresponded and hosted the podcast into America Array winter storm and then a freeze for Jackson, Mississippi's ancient pipes system to its breaking point, most of the peace who does? What are our black? This week on into America? It rejects resident living through the crisis. I remember I I even thought about laundry animals like oh, my god, we gotta go wash well, there's no water in the city to do.
and mere sharply. The member explains how decades of inaction and neglect disrupted the citizen, access to one of the most basic resources. I do think that, if more being honest it's a matter of race search for into America, where we listening now subscribe New York, originally andor, Weissmann vision. but, as I said, these house managers is not just a shock us and remind about what happened on January six, and they certainly did that its to prove that Donald Trump than President Donald Trump, incited an insurrection. How are they doing so far in that job with another day to go here, I think, do doing a great job I think it is necessary to show what actually happened, in other words, what the former president, unleashed but, as you said in terms of the church, of incitement, it
is necessary to show how this is connected to why Donald Trump there are intended or words recklessly fomenting and I think tat Some of the key evidence. There is not just what happened and build up which they ve done, a wonderful job of showing how the new can't really start the timeline on January. Sixth, but if you look visited look at it this way of what wouldn't innocent president down, in other words, if this was not Donald Trump and tend to be. Didn't think that this was what was going to happen and he didn't want it to happen What would he have done? Well, he would have said it's fine to protest on January six, but he would have made it clear that wouldn't even just send once it should be peace, while he would have really stressed, given that he so much about the propensity for violence. This group and then
on January six. It wouldn't have taken very long for him to be spoken about calling the violence and about sending in the national guard- and I think, if you compare his actions to an end, in person would have done. It makes it very clear that he is guilty of the charge that was lodged against him we know Andrew, I was just going to ask you how we separate political Speech I went away why? What have the impeach managers done to attempt to make that separation between political speech and incitement. But before I could ask you a question, I think back to the debate, Where is asked to condemn the proud boys Instead, he tells them to stand by just stand by There are so many examples of him celebrating violence.
You can go back into the twenty sixteen campaign, time and time again talking about carrying blood on stretchers, two thousand seventeen himself setting up a member, a republican member of Congress. Beating rapporteur for asking a question about health care reform. You you could continue throughout his entire presidency. Glorification of violence, we could talk about what he said about Hillary Clinton that you can stop or from appointing judges or the second immense solution. This is a president and his use violent rhetoric, time and time again toward to say that this is just political speech, so I have the house. Impeachment managers cross that threshold effectively or do they need to present more evidence. Willie think it would be useful for them to stress what happened on
January. Sixth, in other words, at the president, was not only it shows his intent in terms of being reckless about what was going to happen, but it is really a dereliction of his oath of office because come he didn't take any of this step. For somebody who was sworn to fully and faithfully execute the laws Seeing what's happened, you should not be rejoicing theirs nobody with an ounce of patriotism who could look at those Epps that we saw in the last couple days and not be horrified, and I, dad that it's going to be any normal trial. What the defence has to do is separate the defendant here. The former president from what happened in the capital, because you two basely say what happened. There is horrific and we condone that and you need to say that's not what was anticipated, but I think to trying to argue that
president, didn't anticipate that this is going to happen. Is really that has staked neighbours. I don't make to. Let me make light of then let it remain me of the scene from Casablanca where, Claude shuts down Rick's, CAFE, saying I'm shocked, shocked to learn that there is gambling going on and then a moment later, he's handed his gambling weddings and you know for the press. and to say that he didn't anticipate that this was what is going to happen. After all the evidence to be seen and the fact that he didn't take any steps to immediately- The violence, I think he is, is really far fetched and any normal trial and court of law. I think that would carry the day, so maybe Just to give you one more window inside the minds of these republican, jurors, Rick Scott, in addition to his car it's working call this entire trial, a waste of time, went on to say I watch
what he said speaking of Donald Trump speech at the lips, that I quote, he actually said people should do this peacefully. In other words, Republicans on that jury. The centres are going to isolate that. One word that one time that Donald Trump and January six said do this peacefully and disregard the month, months of other evidence. It's just rejection us here is how we manage our congressmen. Jamie Ruskin concluded opening remarks. Yesterday, one of her. Capital officers who defended us TAT Day was a long time veteran of our force, a break an honourable public servant who spent so hours battling the mob as part of one of those blue lines defending the capital in our democracy. For several hours straight, the marauders punched and kicked in Malta and spit upon and
officers with baseball bats and fire extinguishers, cursed the cops in stormed our capital he defended us any lived every minute of his oath of office and afterwards, overwhelmed by emotion. He broke down in the rotunda, any cried for fifteen minutes and he shouted out. I got called In an word fifteen times today, in many reported I sat down with one my buddies, another black. in tears just streaming down my face, and I said what they ask. Man Is this America? That's the question before all of you in this trial? Is this America.
Monsieur Blaine, with all the shock and the horror that was laid out for everybody to see and think about, it is really hard to separate raised this and given that it so obvious. Had this been people of any color, any other color storming capital. I would have been a very different scene and that racial Tredah, as Jimmy Rascal, just pointed out their pervaded. What happening there you're absolutely right, and in fact it's chilling. I think even just to hear those words is this America, because what immediately comes to mind for me, civil rights activist planning, hammer asking that very soon question Is this America Nineteen sixty four and asking a question before the democratic shall convention and at the time
She was asking the question. She was pointing out the challenges that black we were facing a nation, but particularly in the? U S, south. I am talking about racial violence. Talking about me the nation in the terror, because black people were trying to exercise their right to vote as american citizens, and so it striking now to hear those words again and that question this America because it really does allow. To this larger history. When we think about racial violence, and certainly the deep roots of White Superman in this country. Is this America, John Medium, you had brought Germany and the light thirties. I want to talk about Germany. Nineteen, forty five first, it's damning the most damning part of this is,
happened. While the attacks were going on for two hours and the president had. allies, begging him to call off the terrorists. Begging him to stop the assault of the United States Capital, but he had turned his mob against the capital because he knew he was losing power. He knew that it was over he knew the end was coming in fourteen days. anybody who reads history, you you can't help but look back and ask where what leaders have actually and on their own country's savage their own countries at the end and you after immediately go the Nero decree and make us so few have done it, but
learn Nero decree in March of nineteen, forty five, where Hitler ordered his his generals. did turn their guns on Germany. Out of spite because the Germans had not done as well. As he thought they should have done in the war so to destroy their own infrastructure. To tear railroads due to tear up factories, but Donald Trump turned His mob on something far more precious to us, at least than real old tracks or are our factories. He turned his mob against the seat of government, the first the United States congress- I don't know, certainly there their order. Parallels in american history. There is no
that has turned is mob against the nine states government and an outside of Hitler. I can't think of too many other leaders throughout history, actually turned their mobs are turned their troops against their own government. Was obvious. They we're being moved removed from power. You know, For me, the closest example goes to Fanny will hammer goes to the civil rights here in particular? Is the most recent times where totalitarian white supremacist violence that shaped our native region, as in fact, state sanctioned or Jose Williams Miss boycott and John Louis looking out at the top of the year.
Edmund TAT his bridge on bloody Sunday when they reach the crest and they looked down didn't see civilians. They saw Deputy passing men and troopers They saw the power of the State marshalled against their fundamental human rights and this is that on a grand scale would have on January sixth Is you had in the President, and been heading up. The January six you had the fear, as you just said, of losing power white people. Rice Movement feared losing power. So we white people in many ways, marshal the power of the state more old, vigilante violence to try to stop it, and what Donald
was doing here was lying. In the way the segregation was a lie based on allied lie. About the election because He feared losing power himself and the point America people say is this America yeah? Actually it is, we kid ourselves at our peril to think this isn't an important part of who we are the point. The mission is to. make it a diminished as part of the country What we saw in the last five years with this president is that worst part of us went to centre stage and that's what we have to fight professor,
even if this goes as it appears it's going to go just listening to some of these republican senators, listening to Lindsey Grand last night, enlisting directs, God and listening to RON, Johnson and listening to mark or Rubio and listened Josh Holly and the usual cast of characters and President Trump is acquitted, despair everything we ve seen and heard over the last two days and will see and hear again today. What will it about us. What will be the law long term? Impact of this? If president is not held account, or for what happened on January, the sixth will send a clear message that way- glee any future. You as president, I could do what Donald Trump did: and get away with it, and so it gives people licence to it. actually incite violence are to know that they don't have their way back if
they don't win an election. All they have to do is real up their base and hall, but there Can overturn the results through violence? I am. Certainly. History has taught us that that that this, of course, we know that, took place on Jerry six. You know follows a long line in terms of understanding how political violence is used to suppress. You know the voice of of american citizens and particularly people of color. I- and so I think it's it sets a dangerous precedent. if we are to be sure Unfortunately, I suspect that's exactly it's going to happen. I certainly hope that the outcome the one where we can say you know. Finally, we took a stand, but it is clear to me just based on how people are responding already, that it's likely that the Donald Trump will walk away and not be charged at all our eye professed Acacia Blaine, thank you very much
for being on this morning, she is co, editor of the new book entitled four hundred souls a community history of african American. Sixteen nineteen to twenty nineteen Weissmann. Thank you as well. His recent book is entitled where law ends in the Mahler Investigation and John Major Thank you as well. He too has a lot of dimension. In fact too many to mention at this point more. Thank you still. I had on morning, Joe President Biden has avoided waiting into the debate for Donald Trump. Second, impeachment trial, the peace Tarzan, may I spent the day at the White House yesterday and joins us with new reporting plus Casey Hunt. Once. The conversation after sitting in the Senate Chamber for day two of the trial you're watching
Joe we'll be right back after you, of heartbreak and hardships covered. Nineteen vaccinations are now available, but you might find yourself asking a lot of questions like where can you get the vaccine? How much does cost him. Do you need insurance, and are you even eligible one sure way to get your questions? Answer is to go to plan your vaccine, Thou com and interactive tool. Powered by NBC News and Comcast NBC Universal Burial find a state by state breakdown of where when and how to get your covert. Ninety vaccination make a plan you'll be ready when it's your turn go to plan Vaccines are calm today,
forty six past the hour alive, look at the White House just I have a morning job we're going to be speaking with White House senior advisor for Covet response, Andy's It right now Let's bring in CNBC Dominic choose taking a look at the economic impact of the Maxine roll out what I have done so meta I mean it is perhaps a very good sign on so many fronts when you see stories about hiring sprays? That's kind of what's happening right now with pharmacies across the country, so there's a jobs in here for sure the cove advanced supplies are getting more widely distributed right now, with more vaccines, come more need to get professionals to administer those shots. It's for that big reason. Big retail chains like see vs like why the greens and others mass story of pharmacy operations like grocery store chains like Kroger they're, trying to get pharmacists and support staff recruited, because there could be in high demand
government? Remember, will start sending vaccines directly to pharmacy changing grocery chains across the country this week, so finding qualified workers is a veritable. Task. In many cases, in those types of situations in in cases there are signing bonuses in the thousands of dollars being doled out as incentives there, but what it comes down to is this. A good sign that when you are seeing large companies even mid, eyes and smaller pharmacies start a ramp up, hiring starting to compete for people to actually help administer these vaccines that their doing so because they all that there will be a demand for it and that's a good sign, because people are than wanting to get vaccines. I guess that's the big case here guys that that the idea here is that there will be a massive hiring spree just to get the millions of people we need to get vaccinated vaccinated. But it's gonna be a big deal. If you can just go to wall, Stranger CBS. That could be something that can get bows millions vaccinated in any one day be a game
in turn. We need that CNBC Dominic chew. Thank you very, very much and join is now Whitehouse. Rapporteur for the Associated Press, Johnson, the mayor and NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent in a host of way, too early hazy in case you were there all day yesterday watching what happened at the place where you work? What was it like? Four, you and what are your reflections from watching that incredible, powerful tie? line of evidence laid out. Yeah. I mean I'm gonna be honest with you may go. It was a really really difficult day for everyone who is part of the capital community, and there are so many people reporter are one piece of that there are cafeteria workers janitor staffers police officers, of course, and of course, the members of Congress and we all three lived this day together watching this and I think the hardest part,
of this new video that that we keep seeing and that we saw so much of yesterday. that you end up reliving it and realising understanding that it could have been much worse than it actually was, and in a lot of ways, that's real traumatize ing and that that's the strategy that the we're managers were using yesterday because that message was aimed at the very senators who actually have power to make a decision about former president trumps role in all of this. They had to watch of their own desks being ransacked by these people. As they sat at those desks, they had to look at pictures of a guy up in the Senate gallery with zip ties. What do you use of ties form potentially to take all those members hostage. Mitt Romney watched for the first time security footage of him of being turned around and was shown on a map of the capital. Just how close he came.
To potentially running into that mob and the reality is, he likely would have been recognised meagre yeah Casey Report, said there were senators republican democratic alike who left the chamber over the past couple of days with the red eyes, obviously deeply shaken and maybe that certainly understandable, and yet we, also hear stories. Holly doing paperwork up in the gallery Walcott videos of cop killers and please officers being besieged police officers, begging for help as police officers being uttered and abuse Solly, mocking that marking those. Please officers marking though, the riots that went on and then you have people like Lindsey Ground. That really would somebody earlier talk about how
was outraged by the presentation. Rick's God saying there was a waste of time is just vindictive verses, Donald Trump I am, this just curious. The disconnect between these few people, who want to run for us again and the other report can members of Congress, including Senator Mitchell Mcconnell. It must be x bravely striking. For you to see a close, it is really start challenge and I was sitting in the gallery in the press gallery basically directly across from China, holly, who was in one of the visitors gallery, is above, floor, yet his feet up on the back of the chair in front of Think of it, like a baseball stadium enough you're, watching a game.

really know Joe? It's it's. Firstly, it's really hard to figure out exactly what's. on hearing these, these people, these Republicans, they were attacked two and its clear. That no matter how much loyalty you demonstrated to President tromp over four years that this mob was going to turn on you. If President Trump told them to me that's happened to my parents, who suddenly was in imminent. Cool danger from a mob that was set on him by his boss, who he was nothing but incredibly loyal. To so I mean look, they laid out and it they're gonna. She just so clear to Americans what happened, that day now and what it means for those Republicans to see it to digest and to ignore it. the right to see- and I know I can now Thank you so much Casey out. We greatly appreciate Willie forward. Java merely at the White House reaction yesterday, and this really
you're so Rick Scott does. He does not care about cop killers. Do not care about cops being killed Linsey ground, as he does not care about the cop killers, the cops, being overrun yesterday screaming and real? I may genuinely. I I I stand that Rick's got wants to run for president send Markka Rubia once runs resin again, I understand just Holly once run for Brezhnev. Get written represented, that crews on structural to do? They really think turning a blind eye to cop killers and a blind eye to traders turning a blind eye. This addition is for blind eye to the paying them AG by the way. All of this around and they say, support the blue itself be ass. It's all the same that they don't believe that Because they're setting there again look
riots and think it's a waste of time to figure out why these cop killers, Why these trop terrorist? Why these prob car killers came to the United States capital the heart accuracy, something that that, obviously, I think most Americans agree with me that it is, it is one of the most sacred places in Amerika for our government outside of religious institutions it's one of the most sacred places in America and they are. They are dismissing this process. Do they not care about? The police officers have killed it I do not want to get to the bottom of this Willie and figure out why these cop killers rush the hill.
When you eliminate all the logical explanations for their behaviour in their comments. Last night, you are left with. I dont say this lightly, pure cowardice, their cowards, they're, afraid of Donald Trump and his voters, despite the fact that he's gone, despite the fact that he lost the popular vote twice was impeach twice loss than the house in the Senate. All the things you ve laid out over the last couple of weeks, Joe and and all that the dead weight he's bend to the party. They are afraid of to the point where they can sit through. That presentation yesterday know that a cop killed in their know that one cup was prone on the steps of the west from being beaten, Point where he had a mild heart attack, pleading his life telling the attackers that he has four daughters asking that they spare him. They can watch dad and know that more than a hundred officers were injured. They can I extend and know that staffs of their colleagues, perhaps their own state, had to rush into lots, offices and hide under tables as terrorists B.
On their doors there, so Fraid of Donald Trump, that they can come out of that day and say: what's traders they can't see was that they can Do I answer that and any ahead? It wasn't. Just RON Johnson came out and he's talking about Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton told Joe Biden not to concede did that in an interview on the circus last August and he's equating that too, what Donald Trump deadly. Up to January the sex, it's beyond this disingenuous, it's pure cow. This and again I dont say that lightly and unarmed flip about that they're. Just a bunch of cowards. Now, Jonathan Mere. What was white houses reaction to what happened yesterday Lee anyway, the White House is trying to projected their studiously ignoring the proceedings press, Biden has said this week that he won't be watching. I pressed press secretary, Jen, Saki the briefing yesterday as too.

an understanding, a growing understanding that the president will have to wait and at some point it likely won't come until the end of the trial, but what we have a verdict one way or the other, and still, despite always single Today's all signs indicate the Donald Trump we'll be acquitted President Biden will need to address that national moment. He'll try try to bring some sense of unity and healing after a traumatic week of trial. There's really hurt a lot of people. We triggered lot of peat folks were there and really call it. in the very basis of the american experiment, but also if Donald Trump gets up there and says that exonerate that he's innocent and started to try to meet it enter the political scene again present binds, but after that too, and try to bring the temperature down across the country We consider that our Jonathan Mommy ask a couple policy issues at a bubble. Over the past few days for solar, some other opening of schools. Health officials have said that, for the most part,
of schools should be encouraged. They ve sat at over the past month or so Doktor Valley himself is as suggest as much a binding straight catching flag for dragging their feet and a lot of people are now suggesting that they are more interested in following the dictates of leaders of teachers unions. Then what health shoals say and then they trotted out some one. I don't know what one day a week Ray students one day a week and city of fifteen million are some bag. I exaggerate, of course, but it only White Dwight GIN, Saki trotted out a couple days ago of far stretch from my Joe Biden. farmers and a hell of a distance from what american Parents want now, especially let me Yet again we have a healthy fish, Poles saying children need to be back in

Listen to the teachers, unions they're going to listen to health officials? the jobs nearly unanimous opinion from health officials, the schools have not been picture. we high sources transmission that they have been safe places for added ventilation and social distancing that schools have been safe, and so many american parents, of course want their children to be back there. The binding demonstration. What's a real criticism on this that they seem to be not living up to the goals that present I first set out and yes percentage Saki suggested that the one day a week, but that would force while the sheer number of schools there talking about narrowed as they did read, would be this. The younger kids. I suppose the older kids that alienated some parents and then that, yes, the one day a week for US percent of students would be enough to hit their threshold. She walked back Willoughby yesterday. She said there still pressing forward they that she knowledge today that that day
once this is still a major centrepiece of their plan, but it does like right now that they are behind on that, while in that's something they have taken criticism for. As we see schools like Chicago's see such carbon Philadelphia have relations and there is a sense of there being reluctant to child teachers, unions to put their teachers back in classrooms, Java mail would like you to come back tomorrow. Maybe we can talk about something else: Abbas and Red Sox cell. I suppose you're gonna be selling bats outcome and baseball is America's, are selling everything else John earlier. Thank you so much being with his Willie, I want to follow on their ledges? Let's just let's just say it like it guess I mean you know that I'd administration, Joe Biden, cannot could not cannot attack Donald Trump for not listening to healthcare officials and then, when he said of teachers unions. He can't listen their health care. officials who were saying it's time to go back to school. This retreat couple of days ago, I'm sorry theirs.
Another word for it was pathetic. It's a lot of parents hanging out there in a dry again, health care of fish are now saying that that children need to go back to school it merely you, madam, is the bite administration. Has no other option than to follow healthcare officials. Do they know what they been incredibly slippery on this issue. Remember it was the the then the CDC who came out about a week. half ago and said at a White House briefing. This was not in a private conversation to White House briefing that she believed it was safe for schools to be open. As long as we had social, distancing and masking in place So then, Jen Saki was asked about that later White House Briefing and she said she was speaking her own personal point of view, wasn't official CDC guidance trying to Sir split the baby there, but clearly ABC officials, Doktor Anthony Vouchers,
EL has come out, including on the show and says he believed kids should be in school. that is where the sciences we understand, that we want teachers and kids to be healthy, but what we found fight our early suspicions a year ago and our concerns about school is that schools and unspeaking for New York City here, the biggest school system in a country school I've been among the safest places in our city and kids have not been giving a tweet there? They ve not been giving it to teachers by and large, so we want to protect everybody, but we also understand that kids need to be in school and, as you say, it's important, listen to scientists, including the people who we, ABC, then we could get all the teachers it and then not you have this debate. Had this hour by receiving is not a debate scientifically. It's not a debate anymore, but obviously that would solve the issue here at and while the issue solved If you want me to the thing is, if you don't want to follow science now, then, then you can
say, there's a debate but there's not a debate when it comes to scientists that debates over I'm just curious: do we the scientists now or do we not listen to scientists when it might upset some of our political allies the serious you ve been waiting for has arrived until any place.
