. >> reporter: the big question of course is whether that inaction is criminal in any way. bennie thompson said that is still something they are working to determine. but if they find a criminal act was committed, bennie thompson said they have no problem making a criminal referral to the department of justice. >> and melanie, this committee says it's gearing up for public hearings relatively soon. what do we know about the plans in the coming weeks or perhaps months? >> reporter: the committee has been conducting a lot of this work behind closed doors but they plan to take this into a much more public phase. there will be an interim report in the fall -- in the summer, excuse me, with a final report in the fall. they also plan to conduct public hearings. we could hear from state and local election officials, doj officials who tried to overturn the election or were pressured to do so. the national guard troops. another big question is whether any republican lawmakers who were in contact with trump will come and testify. if they don't come voluntarily, bennie thompson says s

but make no mistake, on voting rights inaction is not an option. inaction is not an option. and now the senate must rise to the occasion. the only way to achieve our goal of passing voting rights, ending dark money, and ending partisan gerrymandering is by changing the rules, because our colleagues from the other side of the aisle don't want to join us in these noble endeavors. this evening, we have proposed a modest one-time change of senate rules to establish a talking filibuster for this voting rights legislation. it fundamentally says if you want to block something as sacred as voting rights, you must do it out in the open. you must debate it and show the american people where you stand. you can't sit in your office and block everything. in short, every senator will be allowed to speak twice on final passage of voting rights legislation. they can speak as long as they want -- days if they can muster it. but all other dilatory tactics, dilatory amendments and points of order shall be deemed out of order and appeals determined without debate. after each member has had thei

has condemned it as inactive terror. security forces in sudan have killed at least seven protesters. teargas and bullets were fired at demonstrators marching toward the presidential palace. the u.n. has condemned the violence calling for talks to end the violence -- and a british woman living in tonga is the first known fatality in the tsunami. martin luther king day in the united states marked with a march in the capital to demand more protection for voting rights. president joe biden has found that has failed to pass a new protection law, he lacks support in the senate. democrats say new legislation is needed to protect the rights of ethnic minorities and low-income workers from republican efforts to disenfranchise them. >> last week the president said he is tired of being quiet about voting rights. well, we are tired. since january 6 20 21, when the insurrectionists attacked our capital, 19 legislatures have passed 34 laws clawing back voting rights for their citizens. states like my home state, where new laws -- i sh

most americans want neither inaction nor retribution. we want durable, bipartisan justice. that path is still available, but is not the path we are on today. that doesn't mean the president is free from fault. the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump, accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest and ensure that president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. and the president's immediate action deserves congressional action which is why i think a fact-finding commission would be prudent. unfortunately that is not where we are today. truly this past week was one of the most difficult for congress and our nation. of all the days here, last wednesday was the worst day i have ever seen in congress. our country is deeply hurt. so where do we go from here? after all the violence and chaos of the last week, is it important to remember we are still here to deliver a better futu

what is remarkbable, it is well documented the former president inaction for a number of hours from multiple sources, firsthand sources. you have no reporting. what are you learning? >> first of all, let's put it out there, this is bad news for donald trump. so in addition to what congresswoman cheney said, a person with knowledge of the investigation has told me the january 6th committee has information from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge. so not just one source, and that these sources describe what the president was saying, doing and not doing during the riot. the source said "there's a collection of people with relevant information." translation? firsthand indicates someone with direct contact or knowledge. it could be someone who is in the room, someone on the phone, someone with direct firsthand information. bottom line, the committee has broken through trump's wall. >> right, and jamie, do you have any indication as to who some of these people might be? >> so we don't know about a lot of people, more than 300 people have testified, but there's one witness who has publicly gi

that is more like action than inaction. you talked a moment ago about inaction. if president trump was just eating popcorn and watching this unfold, it's absolutely reprehensible. that would be difficult to bring a criminal case based on that. if he's making phone calls trying to get the senators, for example, to delay certification, that's more like an active step where he's trying to help the insurrection succeed in some way. similarly, i think they should be talking to ivanka trump. her testimony about what he said and what his mindset was would be very valuable. obviously she's going to probably do whatever she cannot to testify, but i think that's where i would be going if i was a prosecutor. >> why in your view, renato, is inaction not enough when you're talking about the president of the united states, sworn to protect and serve the nation, and if by everyone's accounts he is simply watching on television the violence taking place, the threat to democracy and he did not act. why is that not enough? >> well, it's certainly a dare ricks dereliction of duty.

not his inaction. because his inaction, i don't think anyone could argue with that. but the question is what exactly was he doing. and i know in that same interview liz cheney talked about how trump was on the phone with senators, trying to urge them to delay the vote. how will he by interested there i was investigating this matter, is to what exactly he was trying to ivanka during those conversations, and what trump knew in advance about the attacks. i think they would have to show is that trump not only knew this attack was going on and did nothing in the face of the attack, but that he actually took an active step to aid the scheme in some way. and that would involve taking a look at his words and actions and really learning from the sort of people you were just talking about, is exactly what he knew and what his intent was. >> and gloria, you reconcile what we're learning from the vice chair cheney and that gem about firsthand knowledge about ivanka walking in at least twice to get her father to do something, juxtapose that to 72% of republicans believe the presi

so we have an unusual large sum of money that's that has been inactive for over three years. so it's about $104 million which we present about 7.6 of the total percentage ever. our future projections will be about $36 million annually which means that 90% of the employer contribution funds are going back to the employees. but we can do to a budget drop. next, i would like to share our plans before the initial shipment happens. our communication and outreach lan to further reach out to this next town. if this policy is approved by the commissioners our plan is to stop the outreach plan in april april. so we will implement this policy starting in july and urge them to activate the account. and counting gym, the three year period required by law will start to kick in and during that three years, our plan is to conduct an additional and more consistent and targeted notification and outreach to the employer and employees and our detail of what plans need to be out in the next few months and after that, three years of that period, if it's still inactive after all these outreach eff

that inaction in that period of time is what the committee believes has become what they have described as a serious dereliction of duty. and it seems pretty clear that they have specific witness testimony. they also have messages, communications of some ilk to back it up that show that there were individuals that were very close to the former president that pleaded with him to get involved and he either just ignored them or actually pushed back and said that he did not want to make a move at that particular point. now, the big open question right now, erin, is whether or not that inaction is actually a criminal offense. and i think this is an area where you see the committee struggling to figure out what their next step is. liz cheney who was interviewed several times over the weekend said they see a serious dereliction of duty but they don't know if it rises to the level of a criminal complaint and perhaps the laws need to be changed to reflect that. so that's part of what this investigation is still trying to uncover. and of course, erin, a big part of that is that there is a big tra

nationwide outreach, and this has happened because they were questions, at least about the last or about the inaction in the previous instance. so yes, it feels better, but i, we shouldn't have to demand action in such a case. i think it's the basic joe or the law enforcement agency and the government to make us feel safe, whether it is from online threads or online boulevard. in this case, targeted attacks or, or threats offline as well. table varsity, thank you so much for sharing with us. thank you, melissa. ah, journalist based an indian administered kashmir have reported a rise in threats and intimidation tactics since the movie government brought the region under its direct control in 2019. this is being seen as a way of clamping down on criticism of prime minister to render modi's hindu nationalist government since delhi revoke the autonomy of indian administered kashmir in august 2019 threats of arrest detention. and the intimidation of journalists have risen to a new level the amount of fear and uncertainty, the uncertainty that journalists are right now face is, is alarming levels. and it's

and liz cheney talked about whether he might be responsible through action or inaction. let's listen to what former senator had to say earlier today about the committee. >> it is frightening when you really read the constitution and realize that their plan could have worked. if the republicans had been in control of the house of representatives. i think it would have worked had the republicans been in charge of the house of representatives. >> and courtney, the january 6th committee has said it's going to get more aggressive and you're going to be seeing public hearings, what do you think happens now? >> yeah, as you mentioned, a lot of what's taken place so far has been behind closed doors and they're expected to move to a public phase, to review findings and issue subpoenas to try to pin down actions of president trump that day and reveal preparations and financing for that attack and really the white house campaign to overturn the 2020 election, and i think it's important to note as phillip did earlier that this more public phase comes as trump and his supporters cont

there are clear questions about his direct knowledge and participation and as liz cheney said action or inaction in corruptly blocking congress from doing its job. >> i'm smiling because this is -- you're why i love lawyers. well stated. thank you. >> look at that. the legal logic brings a smile to his face. >> a doctor and a lawyer saying they like each other. >> i just -- i live for howard's smile. >> the evidence that's come out and much that the committee did not release but there's new evidence here from a conservative member of congress aghast that day and that might seem straightforward or low bar and yet mcconnell and cruz and others who have eaten the words of condemnation is a public purpose separate from the law of just keeping the eye on the reality or orwell said, the eyes on the reality at these times is a daily challenge. i'll read from the letter which is where the evidence comes from. texting mark meadows. saying if trump allows this to occur we are driving a stake in the heart of the federal republic. basically new contemporaneous texts that came out and where does that figure

inaction is not an option. and now the senate must rise to the occasion. the only way to achieve our goal of passing voting rights, ending dark money, and ending partisan gerrymandering is by changing the rules because our colleagues from the other side of the aisle don't want to join us in these noble endeavors. this evening, r we are proposing modest one-time change of senate rules to establish a talking filibuster for this voting rights legislation. it fundamentally says if you want to block something as sacred as voting rights, you must do it out in the open. you must debate it and show the american people where you stand. you can't sit in your office and say-- and block everything. in short, every senator will be allowed to speak twice on final passage of voting rights legislation 6789 they can speak as long as they want, days, if he can this muster it, but all other dilatory tactics and motions should be deemed out of order and determined without debate. after each member has had their say, it will be time to vote and only 50 votes will be required f

. >> are you on the side of inaction, inertia, and insurrection? or are you on the side of justice and democracy? this is a defining moment for you and a defining moment for our country. if you choose wrong after you have gone on the record, then the electorate should put these senators on notice. we're putting you on the record, and if you choose wrong, the electorate should put you on notice. and in the meantime, please keep martin, john, and coretta's names out of your mouth. we're not interested in your convenient allyship in the form of hashtags and t-shirts. we want law change. so which side are you on? the filibuster, the jim crow filibuster is obstructing progress and justice at every turn, just as dr. king said that it was many decades ago. >> that's right. >> and you should not be fighting to preserve the jim crow filibuster over democracy. >> and, you know, even in the '60s, some who had supported the filibuster initially voted for the voting rights act. i mean, this is outrageous. but, you know, i was pleased because i've been very much

they talked about this 187 minutes of inaction from when those rioters first broke through into the capitol building and then that video statement that the president put out at one point. it's not just what he didn't do during that time frame, but it was the type of activity that he was engaging in that the committee at this point believes represents a serious dereliction of duty. listen to what liz cheney, the vice chair of the committee said on sunday. >> the committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television as the assault on the capitol occurred. members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television to tell people to stop. we know leader mccarthy was pleading with him to do that. we know members of his family. we know his daughter, we have firsthand testimony that his daughter ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. >> so it's not just that the former president refused to do anything during that period of time, it's also the fact that some of his most closest advi

history will not look kindly on inaction at this critical moment, and we must show the american people that we will not flinch when faced with the choice to protect our democracy and let it crumble before our eyes. there is a pattern of rapid discrimination that is disenfranchising countless black and brown voters across this country. now, in 2005, jesus gonzalez became a naturalized citizen. on the same day he swore an oath to the united states, he sought to register to vote in arizona. he was rejected. so he tried again after he obtained a license, but again he was rejected. it was then that mr. gonzalez, a school janitor, sued the state. his case made its way to the supreme court, who in 2013 ruled in his favor and struck down arizona's law. mr. gonzalez was one of 31,000 voters in arizona affected by such a discriminatory law. just this past september, the mexican american legal defense fund joined other civil rights organizations in suing texas over its discriminatory voting legislation known as s.b. 1. we have heard a lot about it today. among other things, sb-1 seeks to curb the

so for a president to through either his action or inaction, for example, attempt to impede or obstruct the counting of electoral votes, official proceeding of congress, the committee is looking at that, looking at whether what he did constitutes that kind of a crime. but certainly it's dereliction of duty. >> joining us now is mary trump, the niece of donald trump. she is the author of "the reckoning:our nation's trauma and finding a way to heal" her new podcast is the mary trump show. thank you very much for joining us on this important night. and on days like this, i for one wonder about the fragile mind of your uncle. and i think you just heard bob woodward possibly talk about a source telling him high trump administration source telling him that whatever was left of donald trump's ability to control himself, whatever particle was left of that, disappeared on election day. >> i think that's probably true. as you know, and as we discussed before, that was a narcissistic injury, the likes of which he never had suffered before and probably never imagined he would. and there was no way

we are doers united against inaction. we are activists, united against pessimism. we are believers, united against cynicism. we fight for each other, not with each other. we come together to get things done. we are capable of greatness. the question we have to ask ourselves is do we believe in michigan? i know i do. i believe because of you. i will work hard every day to put michiganders first. and i will always believe in michigan because we are strong and >> first i will provide a brief operational update.

biden's inaction has a growing drug threat to our state and the vast majority of illicit drugs in idaho are now sourced in mexico. idaho families deserve better. last summer, i sent a specialized team of the idaho state troopers to arizona to help fight the drug flow into our country and our state. we sent our best to protect americans and idahoans from drug cartels, and those troopers returned with new knowledge and training to help law enforcement here at home fight the drugs that have devastated so many lives. we have some of those troopers here with us today. gentlemen, please stand so we can recognize you. [applause] and now, i'm asking for your support to deploy operation esto perpetua. i'll have more information in the coming weeks but it will bring law enforcement and communities in new ways. we will continue to fight the consequences of our loose border and curb the smuggling of killer drugs, such as fentanyl, into our state from mexico. [applause] folks, we've been able to set the example of accountable, responsible government here in idaho. my family and teresa's have been in

abbott rip ared into the biden administration and its total inaction. sheriff, i'd like your reaction to this -- >> well, i'm glad he ripped into them. they deserve every bit of it. they've been ab sent, inactive, and not only that, they've hindered the work that's being done whether it's texas trying to solve the problem on a state level or arizona or whether it's border patrol agents, cbp agents trying to do their job. they have not helped in any way, shape or form. you mentioned it, liz, they haven't even reached out to a lot of us. we haven't heard from them. elizabeth: okay. let's watch the governor of texas. watch this. >> joe biden doesn't care about victims of human trafficking. if he cared, he would step up and do something about it, but he does not care about the carnage that he's causing to lives and communities across the entire country. elizabeth: maria bartiromo, by the way, is going to be at the border with the governor tomorrow. sheriff, we've got border patrol literally turning their backs on the homeland security secretary in yuma, ari

trump's inaction as the riot was happening. >> we didn't see a former president who had just rallied the mob to attack sitting in the private dining room off the oval office in the white house watching it all on television. and doing nothing for hours. >> reporter: and blasting those who have continued to push the so-called big lie that the election was stolen. >> he's not just the former president. he's a defeated former president. >> reporter: the vice president comparing january 6th to infamous attacks on the u.s. that killed thousands, including pearl harbor and 9/11. >> certain dates echo throughout history. december 7th, 1941, september 11th, 2001 and january 6th, 2021 >> after the speeches, former president trump dismissing the event as political theater, saying it was just a distraction for the fact biden has completely and totally failed and that democrats want to own january 6th so they can stoke fears and divide america trump ally lindsay graham called for the rioters to be prosecuted but also slammed mr. biden's speech as an effort to resurrect a failed presidency. sharp

of our business leaders and inaction of our decision-makers is also a direct attack on livelihoods. >> reporter: there are cheaper energy sources and coal has become quite expensive. this means extremely high electric bills for people in west virginia. now, the woman in the piece who said let it flood, well, that is an example of the commitment to coal in the face of climate change. she says because historically coal has been a reliable job source, but the reality is the industry itself has been shedding jobs due to automation. it's a dying industry. now, we reached out to senator manchin's office but received no comment. rene marsh, cnn, washington. >> rene, thank you. let's talk more about this with jeff goodell, a contributing editor for rolling stone, also the author of "the water will come." jeff, great to have you. in your lengthy piece this week titled "manchin's coal corruption is so much worse than you knew" you write, quote, the truth is manchin is bester stood as a grifter from the ancestral home of king coal. a man with coal dust in his veins who has used his political s

stephanie: and, really, what you're talking about is a form of inaction, but also the fact that they were transferring these accused clergy members from dioceses to dioceses, right? chico: yes, always with the transferring. it was better to deal with the priests by changing their job than by disciplining them. stephanie: and we should say that, before he was elevated to the papacy, cardinal ratzinger was actually in charge of the vatican office that was meant to oversee sexual abuse cases. so, he, more than almost anyone in the catholic church, was responsible for overseeing these cases for quite some time. chico: so, if you're thinking about what figure of the last decades knows the most about abuse, it's probably him i mean, he was the very face of this secretive organ that dealt with the discipline and dealt with cases. he had his finger on that body like nobody since. and then he became pope. so, negligence is not an excuse. he knew the problem, and it was defining his job even before he became a name known to all catholics. stephanie: chico harlan is the rome bureau chief for "t

of what a lot of people are thinking in terms of this death and the actions surrounding it and the inaction surrounding it. >> derek chauvin, as fred said in the piece, derek chauvin pleaded guil on these federal charges, of course convicted in the state trial. to what extent do you think his presence is still going to be felt in the courtroom? is he going to be looming over this case? >> absolutely, absolutely. as we discussed before, these charges are related to whether these officers intervened and whether they followed the lead of derek chauvin. they are certainly going to use him as part of their argument saying, "oh, he was the field training officer. he was more senioto us. we were following his lead." they will try to disavow themselves from derek chauvin. note, however, derek chauvin took that plea, and as part of his plea, he said he didn't force these otherhree to do anything or to not do anything. and so, they're going to have to contend with that. >> angi porter of the georgetown university law center, thank you very much. >> thanks so much for having me. >> woodruff: a new rep
