>>> PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN
WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IN JUST TEN DAYS BUT
THERE ARE GROWING CALLS FOR
DONALD TRUMP TO BE OUT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE EVEN SOONER.
FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY’S DEADLY
ATTACKS ON CAPITOL HILL.
TODAY SENATOR PAT TOOMEY BECAME
THE SECOND REPUBLICAN SDMARTENAT
CALL ON DONALD TRUMP TO RESIGN.
SINCE WE KNOW TRUMP WILL NOT,
THERE’S INVOKING THE 25th
AMENDMENT WHICH ONLY HIS CABINET
COULD DO.
THAT LIKELY WON’T HAPPEN EITHER.
LEAVING DEMOCRATS WITH THEIR
ONLY OPTION WHICH BEGINS
TOMORROW.
INTRODUCING ONE ARTICLE OF
IMPEACHMENT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
FOR INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION.
WE DON’T KNOW HOW MANY
REPUBLICANS WILL SUPPORT
IMPEACHMENT, WE DO KNOW THERE’S
ANGER IN PARTY INCLUDING FROM
REPUBLICANS WHO SPENT THE PAST
FOUR YEARS ENABLING TRUMP AT
EVERY TURN BUT NOT EVERY ONE IS
BUYING THEIR 11th HOUR OUTRAGE.
PEOPLE LIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA’S
HUD SECRETARY WHO WARNED OF
DONALD TRUMP’S DANGEROUS
RHETORIC WHEN HE RAN FOR
PRESIDENT.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU REFERRED
TO COUNTRIES AS BLEEP HOLES.
YOU URGED AMERICAN CONGRESSWOMEN
TO GO BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
YOU SAW IMMIGRANTS RAPISTS.
AS WE SAW IN EL PASO AMERICANS
WERE KILLED BECAUSE YOU STOKED
THE FIRE OF RACISTS.
INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE SHOT DOWN
BECAUSE THEY LOOK DIFFERENT FROM
YOU.
BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE ME.
THEY LOOKED LIKE MY FAMILY.
WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
>> SECRETARY CASTRO JOINS ME
NOW.
SECRETARY, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LISTEN TO
WHAT MICK MULVANEY, DONALD
TRUMP’S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF
SAID JUST THIS MORNING ON "MEET
THE PRESS."
TANG
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> THE RHETORIC WAS HIGH AND
FIERY.
YOU AND I KNOW THAT AMERICAN
POLITICIANS DO THIS ON A REGULAR
BASIS.
I COULD PULL YOU SIMILAR CLIPS
OF MAXINE WATERS TELLING YOU TO
TAKE TO THE STREETS.
IT’S DIFFERENT AS YOU SAID IN
YOUR ENTRY THAT PEOPLE TOOK HIM
LITERALLY.
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THAT.
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE A DAY
WHERE PEOPLE FROM ANY SIDE OF
THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM WOULD
STORM THE CAPITOL IN ORDER TO
INTENTIONALLY STOP THE
CONSTITUTIONAL TRANSFER OF
POWER.
>> SECRETARY, WHY ARE REPUBLICAN
LEGISLATURES AND CABINET MEMBERS
UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT TRUMP’S
OWN WORDS DIRECTLY LED TO
HORRIFIC EVENTS AND ARE THEY
CULPABLE?
>> WELL, I THINK THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT REASONS.
FOR SOME OF THEM THEY ARE STILL
TRYING TO CURRY FAVOR WITH
TRUMP’S BASE.
I PUT FOLKS LIKE JOSH HAWLEY AND
TED CRUZ AND THE OTHER SENATORS
WHO CONTINUE TO OBJECT TO THE
CERTIFICATION OF THE ELECTION IN
THAT CAMP.
SOME OF THEM KNOW THAT IT WOULD
INDICT THEM.
PEOPLE LIKE MICK MULVANEY WHO
STOOD BY WHILE DONALD TRUMP WAS
INCITING HATE AND IN SOME CASES
VIOLENCE AGAINST IMMIGRANTS,
AGAINST OTHER GROUPS.
THEY DON’T WANT TO FACE THAT
THEMSELVES.
OTHERS TRULY HOLD THE BELIEFS
THAT DONALD TRUMP HOLDS WHICH
ARE BIGOTED AND RACIST.
EITHER WAY, AS YOU NOTED, THIS
HAS BEEN CLEAR WHAT THIS MAN IS
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
EVEN BEFORE HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT
WHETHER IT WAS CALLING FOR THE
DEATH PENALTY FOR FIVE YOUNG MEN
WHO DID NOT COMMIT A CRIME IN
CENTRAL PARK IN 1989 OR ANY
NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS.
THIS IS JUST THE LATEST IN A
STRING, PATS EARN OF BEHAVIOR OF
INKRIETSING OTHER ING
INCITING OTHERS TO VIOLENCE OR
STIRRING UP THE PASSIONS OF
PEOPLE AND ESSENTIALLY
SANCTIONING VIEWS THAT LEAD TO
VIOLENCE AND IT’S SOMETHING ELSE
AS WELL TO SEE THAT FOR SOME OF
THESE POLITICIANS THEY HAD THE
FEEL PERSONALLY IN DANGER,
PERSONALLY IN DANGER THEMSELVES
BEFORE THEY COULD SEE CLEARLY.
YOU EXPECT MORE FROM PEOPLE IN A
POSITION OF PUBLIC TRUST THEN
THAT.
I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY
IT’S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
IT’S ALSO STILL CLEAR THAT A LOT
OF THOSE REPUBLICANS BOTH
ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THE
REPUBLICAN BASE STILL WILL NOT
HOLD DONALD TRUMP TO ACCOUNT FOR
EVERYTHING THAT HE’S DONE.
TO ME, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AS WE KNOW
IT, SHOULD NOT EXIST AS A PARTY.
IT NEED A FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSFORMATION OR A DIFFERENT
PARTY.
>> TRUMP IS PLANNING TO VISIT
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY IN YOUR
HOME STATE THIS WEEK.
WHAT IS THE DIRECT EFFECT OF
DONALD TRUMP’S ACTIONS AND WORDS
ON THAT.
WE KNOW HE WILL TELL ONE STORY.
WHAT IS THE STORY YOU WANT
PEOPLE TO KNOW?
>> WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IS
THAT SO MANY OF THOSE
COMMUNITIES DOWN THERE ON THE
BORDER ARE SAFE COMMUNITIES.
THEY ARE COMMUNITIES WHERE
PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS
ARE WORKED TOGETHER, LIVED WELL
TOGETHER FOR GENERATIONS.
THEY ARE BILINGUAL, BICULTURAL
COMMUNITIES.
THIS IS HIS OLD STAND BY.
ANY TIME HE’S IN POLITICAL HOT
WATER.
ANY TIME HE’S LOSING SOME OF HIS
BASE, HE’S LOSING SOME SUPPORT
AMONG REPUBLICANS WHICH CLEARLY
IN THE LAST FEW DAYS HE HAS LOST
SOME SUPPORT, HE GOES RIGHT BACK
TO THAT RED MEAT AND THAT IS
STIRRING UP HATE ESPECIALLY
AGAINST BROWN IMMIGRANTS.
HE STARTED HIS CAMPAIGN OFF LIKE
THAT IN 2015 WHEN HE CAME DOWN
THAT ES KA LATECALATOR AND CALLE
MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS CRIMINALS AND
PASSION AND HATE TOWARD BROWN
IMMIGRANTS.
THAT’S AS PLAIN AS DAY.
PEOPLE CAN TRY TO SUGAR COAT IT
ANY WAY THEY WANT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT’S
WHAT THIS MAMPBN HAS BEEN ABOUT.
IT’S DEFINED WHO HE IS AS
PRESIDENT.
>> WE KNOW THAT HOUSE DEMOCRATS
ARE MOVING TO IMPEACH THE
PRESIDENT THIS WEEK.
DO YOU BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE
CHARGED WITH SEDITION?
>> YES, I DO.
I BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE REMOVED
FROM OFFICE IN ANY WAY THEY CAN
LEGALLY DO THAT.
THE 25th AMENDMENT OR THROUGH
IMPEACHMENT.
I DON’T BELIEVE IT MATTERS THAT
HE ONLY HAS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS
LEFT IN OFFICE BECAUSE THERE
NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
HIM INCITING INSURRECTION.
IF YOU DON’T HOLD THIS PRESIDENT
ACCOUNTABLE RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE
SENDING A PLESZMESSAGE THE FUTUR
LEADERS THAT IT’S OKAY TO COMMIT
CRIMES TO TRY TO INCITE VIOLENCE
AND TRY TO OVERTHROW A
LEGITIMATELY ELECTED GOVERNMENT
AND THAT’S THE MESSAGE YOU
CANNOT AFFORD TO SEND IF YOU
EXPECT TO PRESERVE A DEMOCRACY.
MY HOPE IS THAT THE HOUSE WILL
ACT QUICKLY.
THAT WHEN IT MAKES SENSE EITHER
IMMEDIATELY OR A FEW WEEKS THEY
WILL SEND THOSE ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT OR THAT ONE ARTICLE
OF IMPEACHMENT OVER TO THE
SENATE AND MY HOPE IS THE SENATE
WILL ACT AT THAT TIME.
WE NEED TO STAMP INTO HISTORY
THE CRIME THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
COMMITTED AND HE WAS UNFIT FOR
OFFICE AND SET AN EXAMPLE WITH
