>> PROFESSOR EDDIE GLAUDE GETS
TONIGHT’S LAST WORD, THE 11TH
HOUR WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS STARTS
NOW.
♪ ♪
>>> WELL, GOOD EVENING, ONCE
AGAIN, DAY 1460 OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION JOE BIDEN BECOMES
37 HOURS FROM THIS MOMENT OUR
46TH PRESIDENT.
THE TRANSFER OF POWER FROM
DONALD TRUMP TAKING PLACE IN
UNPRECEDENTED CONDITIONS.
THE WASHINGTON POST JUST OUT
WITH NEW REPORTING ON A THREAT
TO THE INAUGURATION.
IT’S DETAILED AS PART OF AN FBI
INTELLIGENCE REPORT AND WE YET,
THE FBI PRIVATELY WARNED LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MONDAY THAT
FAR-OF RIGHT EXTREMISTS HAVE
DISCUSSED POSING AGO NATIONAL
GUARD MEMBERS IN WASHINGTON AND
OTHERS HAVE MAPS OF SPOTS IN THE
CITY, SIGNS OF POTENTIAL EFFORTS
TO DISRUPT WEDNESDAY’S
INAUGURATION.
THE DOCUMENT, A SUMMARY OF
THREATS THAT THE FBI IDENTIFIED
IN A MONDAY INTEL BRIEFING
WARNED THAT BOTH "LONE WOLVES"
AND ADHERENTS TO QANON, SOME OF
WHOM JOINED THE VIOLENT SIEGE ON
THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY SIXTH,
HAVE INDICATED THEY PLAN TO COME
TO WASHINGTON FOR PRESIDENT
ELECT JOE BIDEN’S SWEARING IN
CEREMONY.
THE BUREAU ASKED IT TO WITHHOLD
SOME DETAILS OF THE INTEL REPORT
TO AVOID REVEALING INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING METHODS FOR SPECIFIC
SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
MILITARY BUILD UP IN WASHINGTON
FOR THE INAUGURATION NOW
INCLUDES OVER 2700 ACTIVE DUTY
U.S. TROOPS.
PENTAGON SAID ABOUT 750 OF THOSE
WILL BE INVOLVED IN ENHANCED
SECURITY AND DEALING WITH
CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, NUCLEAR,
RADIOLOGICAL, EXPLOSIVE, WEAPON
DETECTION.
AND THE NATIONAL GUARD HAS
CALLED UP 25,000 TROOPS AT LEAST
2.5 TIMES THE NUMBER FOR
PREVIOUS INAUGURATIONS.
AND BECAUSE THIS IS OUR COUNTRY,
AND IN 2021, DUE TO FEARS OF AN
INTERNAL THREAT TO THE
INAUGURATION, FROM WITHIN THE
RANKS, THE AP REPORTS THE FEDS
ARE VETTING THE GUARD MEMBERS TO
STOP ANY POTENTIAL ATTACKS FROM
THOSE IN UNIFORM.
>>> THE FBI SCRUBBING AND THE
SECRET SERVICE GIVES OUT THE
CREDENTIALS AND WE HAVE OTHER
SECRET SERVICE HELPING WITH THE
SCRUBBING, WE KNOW WHO IS OUT
HERE SUPPORTING US.
>> THE INAUGURATION WEEK OPENS
WITH THE DAY THE NATION HONORS,
FORGIVE ME, THE REVEREND MARTDR.
MARTIN LURTHTHER KING, JR.
TONIGHT THE NATIONAL MALL IS
ILLUMINATED WITH 56 PILLARS OF
LIGHT AIMING SKY WARD,
REPRESENTING THE 50 STATES IN
U.S. TERRITORIES AND ALSO THERE,
NEARLY 200,000 U.S. FLAGS
REPRESENTING THOSE AMERICANS
UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO WASHINGTON
FOR THE INAUGURATION.
>>> MEANWHILE, TRUMP WHO IS
LEAVING TOWN BEFORE THE
INAUGURATION IS REPORTEDLY NEAR
COMPLETION OF A LIST OF PARDONS
AND COMUTATIONS THAT MAY INCLUDE
OVER 100 NAMES.
THE RAPPER LIL WAYNE MAY BE ON
HIS LIST.
TRUMP ALLIES, RUDY GIULIANI DOES
NOT EXPECT ONE.
AND STAPHEVE BANNON’S CHANCES IS
FADING.
THOSE NEAR HIM IS SAYING THAT HE
IS NOT EXPECTED TO ISSUE A
PREEMPTIVE PARDON FOR HIS FAMILY
AND HIMSELF.
HE IS CAUTIONED AGAINST
PARDONING HIMSELF, AND WHITE
HOUSE OFFICIALS BELIEVE THAT ANY
CONSIDERATION HE IS GIVING TO
GRANTING HIMSELF A PARDON COULD
ALSO TURN MORE REPUBLICANS
AGAINST HIM IN HIS COMING SENATE
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
>>> SOME TRUMP ADVISERS ARE
CONCERNED THAT HE WOULD FORFEIT
HIS FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS
AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION
SHOULD HE GRANT HIMSELF A
PARDON.
TRUMP’S FINAL HOURS IN OFFICE,
ARE UNFOLDING IN THE WAKE OF THE
RANSACKING OF OUR CAPITOL.
THIS WEEKEND, MORE NEW VIDEO
EMERGED OF THE RIOT, IT WAS SHOT
BY A WRITER FOR THE NEW YORKER
AND GIVES US PERHAPS THE
CLEAREST LOOK AT THE MOB AS IT
RANSACKED THE CAPITOL AND SET UP
CAMP IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.
IT EXPLAINS WHY AMERICA IS ON
HIGH ALERT FOR A POTENTIAL
FOLLOW-
FOLLOW-ON ATTACK, THE RIOTERS
AND OTHERS BELIEVE THAT THEY
CARRIED OUT HIS ACT WITH THE
BLESSING OF THE PRESIDENT IF NOT
AT HIS DIRECT COMMAND.
>> THERE’S MILLIONS US OUT
THERE.
>> WE WERE INVITED HERE!
>> WE WERE INVITED BY THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
>> I THOUGHT I WAS FOLLOWING MY
PRESIDENT.
I THOUGHT I WAS FOLLOWING WHAT
WE WERE CALLED TO DO.
HE ASKED US TO BE THERE.
SO I WAS DOING WHAT HE ASKED US
TO DO.
>> THE FBI IS NOW FOCUSING ON
THE ROLE SOME SELF STYLE MILITIA
MEMBERS AND EXTREMIST GROUPS MAY
HAVE PLAYED IN THE RIOT AND THIS
