- THE LAST FOUR YEARS, IN TERMS OF - INSIGHTING PASSIONS IN PEOPLE - THAT GO WAY BEYOND WHAT THEY - SHOULD BE. - BUT I WILL ADMIT THAT I WAS - SHOCKED TO SEE A MA MARAUDING BD - OF I'LL USE THIS PHRASE, - DOMESTIC TERRORISTS STORAGE IS - SITE ALT OF AMERICAN - DEMOCRACY. - BRAZENLY BREAKING INTO THE S - UNITTES CAPITOL, BREAKING - INTO SENATE CHAMBER AND THAT - ICONIC PHOTO THAT WAS OE - FRONT PAGE OF THE "WASHINGTON - POST" AND OTHER NEWSPAPERS - F LAWD THE COUNTRY, - ENFORCEMENT POINTING THEIR GUNS - AT THE DOORS, AND SEEING THE - FACES OF THE PEOPLE TRYING TO - BURST INSIDE. - THESE ARE IMAGES AND PICTURES - THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEVER - THOUGHT EY WOULD SEE IN THEIR - COUNTRY, AND IN THEIR NATION'S - PITOL. - >> Woodruff: AND DAVID BRKS, - AS YOU'RE REFLECTING ON THIS, - WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

- >> Brooks: WELL IT FELT LIKE - A DESECRATION TO ME. - THIS IS OUR HOLYOF HOLIES, THIS - IS WHERE AMERICA COMES, IN AWE. - I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I WENT - D AT 14, I S IN AWE, IN - REVERENCE SPECT, TO SEE IT - TRASHED PHYSICALLY AND MORALLY, - IT PRODUCES SO OF A BONE - WEARYING SADNESS AS DESECRATION - TENDS TO. - JONATHAN IS RIGHT TO PICK UP ON - THE IMAGES OF THE GUNS ON FLOOR, - THE IMAGESOF THAT WOLF MAN SHA - MASMAWN GUY, FOUR -- SHAMAN GUY, - FOUR YEARS OF MORAL DEGRADATION - FOR THE CANUNTRD HUMILIATION. - THAT ONE OF THE REPORTERS SAWOTE - NATIONAL GUARDSMEN IN THE - WASUNDA TODAY, AND THIS - THEIR FIRST TIME IN THE ALCOHOL.

- AND THESE GUYS WERE IN AWE. - THESE WERE YOUNG MEN, IN AWE AND - THAT'S WHAT AMERICA REALLY IS, I - HOPE, I HOPE. - >> Woodruff: WELL, IT'S GOODE - TO BE AB PICK OUT SOMETHING - TO AS YOU SAY THAT'S UPLIFTING - AS WE MOVE ON FROM THIS. - BUT THE REPERCUSSIONS JONATHANAR - ENORMOUS. - CONDEMNATION RAINING DOWN ON - PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR CAING FOR - HIS SUPPORTERS TO COME TO - WASHINGTON, FOR URGING THEMO - KE ON THE CAPITOL, TO TURN - OVER THE -- JECT THE ELECTION - RESULTS, I'LL JUST SAY QUICKLY, - WE HAD A -- WE JOINED WITH A - MERIST IN A POLL, WE ASKED IF - PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TO BLAME - AMONG NATIONAL ADULTS, IS HE TO - BLAME BLAIM A GOOD AMOUNT, 63%, - NOT VERY MUCH, NOT AT ALL, 35%, - AND I SHOULD SAY EVEN 30% OF - REPUBLICANS AGREED THAT THE

- PRESIDENT IS TO BLAME. - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? - AS YOU KNOW THERE'S TALK OF - IMPEACHMENT, SERIOUS TALK - STARTING IN JUST A COUPLE OF - DAYS, INVOKINTHE 25th - AMENDMENT. - WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN? - >> Capart: SOMETHINGULSHO - HATCH. - THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE HELD - ACCOUNTABLE. - IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT HE HAS - 12 DAYS LEFT IN OICE. - HE EEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE - FOR WHAT HE INSIGHTED ON - WEDNESDAY. - HE NEEDS TO BE --AND IF THAT - MEANS REMOVING HIM FROM OFFICE - BE IT.THE 25th AMENDMENT, SO - IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT THAT'S - THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS SORT OF - MADE IT CLEAR FROM REPORTS I'VE - SEEN THAT HE'S NOT TERRIBLY - INTERESTED IN THAT. - SO THEN YOU REMOVE HIM OR TRY TO - REMOVE HIM BY IMPEACHMENT. - BUT AS HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP JOHN - CLYBURN SAID WITH AN INTERVIEW - WITH YOU, THE EMPHASIS IS ON - IMPEACHMENT, IMPEACHING HIM FOR

- HIS SECOND TIME INIS TERM I - THINK IS A HUMILIATION, A - NEGATIVE BRANDING OF HIS - ADMINISTRATION THAT WOULD BE - WELL DESERVED PRECISELY BECAUSE - TOOF WHAT HE DI TRASH THE - ULTIMATES CAPITAL, TRASH OUR - AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, AND ONCE - AGAIN, SHOW THAT HE HAS NEITHER - REVERENCE FOR OR RESPECT FOR THE - CONSTITUTION OR THE OFFICE OF - THE PRESIDENCY. - >> Woodruff: DAVID, HOW DO YOU - HAPPEN WITH THE PRESIDENT?SHOULD - >> Brooks: YES, I DON'T - SUPPORT THE 25th AMENDMENT. - THAT IS FOR INGSCAPS TAKIN - THE PROBLEM IS HE ISN'T - INCOMPASS TAILLIGHTED. - I WOULD ON THE MERITS BEIN - FAVOR OF IMPEACHMENT. - IF SENDING A MARAUDING FORCE IS - AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE I DON - KNOW WHAT IS. - IF THE SENATE WAS DELIBERATING - IT WOULD BE AN ACT OF - DISCIPLINE, A SWORD HANGING OVER - HIS HEAD WHTHICH MESTRAIN

- HIM IN HIS FINAL DAYS OFFICE. - I THINK IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY - CONVICT. SENATE WOULD EVER - THE FALL BACK POSITION WOULD - CENSURING HIM. - FROM EVER RUNNING FOR FERAL - OFFICE. - AND THAT'S IMPORTANT I THINK - BECAUSE, IT WOULD REDUCE HI - ROAM AS AN INTIMIDATOR IN THE - REPUBLICAN PARTY AND REDUCE THE - POSSIBILITY THAT HE RUORNS F - OFFICE IN 2024, WHICH I DO NOT - THINK HE HAS THE -- DESERVES THE - STANDING TO DO RIGHT NOW. - ADD THAT THE SOCDIAI SHOULD - PLATFORM TWITTER HAS ALREADY - STEPPED IN TONIGHT. - WE'VE JUST LEARNEDTHAT THEY - HAVE PERMANENTLY BLOCKED - PRESIDENT TRUMP. - HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TOSE - TWITTER ANYMORE. - I KNOW SOME OPLE ARE ASKING, - YOU KNOW, WHY NOW AFTER FOUR - YEARS? - IS IS A STEP THAT - TWITTER'S TAKEN. - AND JONATHAN, I MEAN IT LEADS US - TO ASKING ABOUT THE OTHER - REPUBLICANS, SO MANY REPUBLICANS - IN THE HOU, OF REPRESENTATIV - EC8 OF THEM VOTED TO BLOCK

- ON -- ELECTORAL VOTE - RESULTS, THAT HAD JOE BIDENTI - WINNING THE ELN. - IN OTHER WORDS, REJECTING - BIDEN'S N. - THIS IS PART OF THE FALLOUT FROM - ALTHIS. - WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE THE - REPUBLICAN PARTY? - WHERE DOES IT LEAVE THE BIDEN - PRIDENCY WITH THIS KIND OF - REJECTION OF HIM AS HE TAKES - OFFICES? - >> WELL, WHERE IT LEAVES E - REPUBLICAN PARTY IS, DES.TROY - YES, 138 HOUSE REPUBLICANS VOTED - FOR THE OBJECTION. - BUT THE KEY THING IS, THEY VOTED - FOR THAT OBJECTION, AFTER THETO - CAWAS INVADED BY - SEDITIONISTS. - SOHAT TELLS ME A LOT ABOUT - NOTICES PEOPLE WHO ARE SITTING - IN THE HOUSE. - I BELIEVETHERE ARE THE - FO IS EIGHT SENATORS WHO VOTED - THE OBJECTIONS, AFTER WHAT - HAPPENED EARLIER THAT DAY ON - WEDNESDAY. - AND SENATORS TED CRUZ AND JOSH

- HAWLEY ESPECIALLY SHOULD BE - ASHAMED OF WHAT THEY DID TO THAT - CHAMBER AND TO -- AND TO OUR - DEMOCRACY BY DOING WHAT -- DOING - WHAT THEY DID AND DOING WHA'RT - TH DOING. - SO WHEN IT COMES TO REPUBLICAN - PARTY, THEY HAVE A LOT OF - SOUL-SEARCHING TO DO. - WHEN IT COMES TO PRESIDENT BIDEN - OR NOW STILL PRESIDENT ELECT - BIDEN, REGARDLESS OF WHPPAT - ED, LET'S SAY WEDNESDAY - HAD NOT HAPPENED, HE STILL WOULD - BE DEALING WITH A 50-50 SENATE - WHICH IS VICE PRESIDENT CHAIR'SA - HARRIS CASTING THE TIE BREAKING - VOTE, THE SMALLEST DEMRATIC - JORITY IN A VERY LONG TIME. - HIS GOVERNING ABILITY WASIN - ALREADY TO BE CONSTRAINED. - BUT IF THERE IS ONE POSSIBLE - SILVER LINING THAT COULD COMEHA - OUT OF WHAPENED ON - ANDNESDAY IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED, - ONRY SIXTH 6th, WAS SO - SHOCKING TO THE CONSCIENCE OF - MORE THANREPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL
