right now at 6:30, no 25th amendment. vice president pence says he will not invoke that amendment to remove presi amendment is not in the best interests of this nation. >> late today he sent a letter to speaker nancy pelosi, this letter, in it he says the president's fitness for office must be a medical decision based on science and facts not based on behavior we don't like.

mr. pence said it would be a terrible precedent to invoke the 25th. this is happening at the same time house members are voting on a resolution that calls on pence to invoke the 25th amendment. this is a live look at that vote. democrats have a back-up plan. impeachment. they are expected to vote on that tomorrow. in the last hour east bay congressman eric swalwell was named as impeachment manager. some republicans are backing impeachment. the biggest name is senate majority leader mitch mcconnell according to the "new york times." mcconnell told associates impeachment will make it easier to purge trump from the gop. also today the country received its first fbi briefing on the capitol attacks. the department of justice says the investigation is just beginning and more charges are coming. right now more than 100,000 pieces of video have been submitted for this investigation. there is a serious concern about the inauguration. the inauguration is one week from tomorrow. large, metal gates have been

installed around the capitol perimeter. >> we want to bring in our political analyst to talk about the effort of the democrats to remove the president from office. let's bring larry in. let's start with this growing number of republicans, very high level republicans, liz chaney, mitch mcconnell, now saying they support impeachment and in mcconnell's case he has to be rubbed the wrong way by the fact of how this turned out for him personally. >> that's exactly it. this is a blockbuster as far as mcconnell's involvement. he is really livid over the fact that in his eyes he lost his position as majority leader because of the two senate seats in georgia that went democratic according to mcconnell because of the way that trump managed it or failed to manage it. all he did was go down there and express his grievances two times. so he's got a grudge to bear. monnell has never liked a lot of what trump has done but as

majority leader wanting to keep his minions in place he's gone along with it especially for some u.s. senators who really appreciated what trump was all about. for mcconnell to move over and say he is looking forward to this, that it may be an opportunity for the republicans to purge themselves of the trumpism if you will, this is big. what it means down the line in terms of other republican votes we don't know but this is big. it's a big, symbolic point. >> how does that open the flood gates for other republicans? does it give them implicit permission to, if mcconnell and liz chaney are saying open the gates for more republicans to say, okay. i'm not risking as much now if i do this? >> two answers here. first of all, yes. it gives them the green light if you will. you don't have to worry about honing any kind of line. just go do what you want to do. the other thing is, look. jessica, at the end of the day these guys all face election except for those that retire.

they are thinking what's it going to be like in 2022? has the wind changed? has the anti-trump element now become very, very fervent given what's happened over the last few days? if that's the case i want to get off of that horse and get on the other horse because i want to be on the right side when everything falls apart. so that is another big reason for a lot of these senators as well. >> we see the resolution as happening right now, voting on whether they should have that 25th amendment. you know, enacted. but pence sent a letter to pelosi saying that it's really meant for when a president is incapacitated because of a mental issue. what is the strategy there for pence now? >> well, first of all, pence is taking the easy way out. i'll tell you why. you read the 25th amendment it doesn't say it has to be a physical problem. it can be anything that leaves the president incapacitated. so pence has chosen to interpret it that way but that is not necessarily what it means. what it means for pence again,

thinking about his future, why should he put himself in harm's way? let the situation work its way out. let the democrats do what they want to do. i want to keep my hands clean because that way my options are protected. there is no reason for pence to go ahead and do what others might do or fail to do. let him stay clean is what his thoughts are so he can keep his options. >> what about average americans just watching all of this? first watching the capitol. now watching this and saying, okay. we've got just a week left. why are we going through all this? >> this is loik a wildfire rele americans now, 56-44 in f relea people accepting the biden presidency much more than they had in the past. you put all of these things

together and you can see the public lining up. this was an incredible event what we saw last wednesday. it was horrific. it had the president's hands all over it. if you like the event and there were soms the president's hands were all over it. if you found it horrific the president's hands were all over it. and so it's connected. that's what makes this impeachment effort so much different than the first impeachment effort. that was about something that happened early in the presidency. it was hard for people to understand. everybody saw this. everybody sees it day after day and with more and more video they see more and more stuff that just looks terrible. it was an attack on the united states and that is what so many people find offensive. >> larry, very quickly, all this talk about the president pardoning himself. where would that likely go? >> we don't know. there was a recommendation out of the department of justice several years ago that said it

wouldn't work. the president may try to find it. here's one other possibility i'm going to slip by right now. the president sees things going really bad. he cuts a deal at the end with pelosi and schumer to resign so that in exchange they decide not to go after him. it's a possibility. it may happen. the president's options are limited and the options are increasing every day. a lot to happen in the next few days. hold on to your hat. the city of berkeley always does things a bit differently and that is what we like about it. the latest twist ban the sale of new gas powered cars by 2027. >> reporter: it was back in september when governor gavin newsom announced a new environmental initiative setting a goal to eliminate gas only

vehicle engines by 2035. berkeley city council member kate harrison says berkeley can reach that goal even faster. >> we need a plan. we need to know when we'll get off these gas powered cars. >> harrison wanted to study this to see what it would take to ban cars that run on gas or diesel by 2027. used cars and the sale of trucks would not apply. >> i think we all have to recognize the challenge before us. this will not affect our sales tax once the transition is made. >> i'm not sure if 2027 is realistic. >> the mayor worries what this would mean for the city's car dealerships which each bring in a large chunk of the city's sales tax. >> our auto dealerships are important parts of our local economy. we need to do this in a way that is thoughtful. >> reporter: the manager at this honda dealership declined to talk on camera saying he was waiting to hear back from the city.
