DISCUSS HIS NEW
GENE SCOTT POLITICAL REPORTER
FOR WASHINGTON POST'S, THE FIX
YOUR JEAN GREAT TO
HAVE YOU ONE WHY THIS TIME
AROUND DIFFERENT FROM LAST
YEAR'S IMPEACHMENT. WELL I
THINK WHAT WE SAW.
>> AT THE U.S. CAPITOL LAST
ANGER PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE IN
WAYS THAT THE FRUSTRATION THAT
PEOPLE HAVE WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP
PRIOR TO HIS SUPPORT FOR
OVERTURNING THE ELECTION
RESULTS JUST DID
NOT MEET 8 LIVES WERE LOSS OF
THEIR LIVES WERE PUT AT RISK
AND
THERE'S ROOM. CONCERN BASED ON
WHAT MANY OF THE SUPPORTERS
HAVE SAID THAT
MORE PLAN TO APPROACH THE
CAPITAL AND DEMOCRATIC
LAWMAKERS DON'T SUPPORT THE
TRUMP COULD HAPPEN IN
THE FUTURE AND ALL OF THIS
INITIALLY WAS END ON AT THE
VERY LEAST BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
WE SAW HIM
AND A RALLY PRIOR TO THE RIOTS
ENCOURAGE HIS SUPPORTERS TO
TAKE ON
THE CAPITOL AND SO YOU HAVE
DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS AND EVEN
SOME REPUBLICANS WHO JUST WANT
TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING
AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
>> HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THIS
IS ACTUALLY GOING TO PLAY OUT
BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A
WEEK LEFT OF THE
PRESIDENT'S TERM. DO YOU
THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO
EVENTUALLY MAKE ITS WAY TO THE
SENATE OR DO YOU EXPECT THAT
THAT WILL HAPPEN
JOE BIDEN IS INAUGURATED.
I JUST WALK US THROUGH IF YOU
CAN GUESS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ALL
UNPRECEDENTED, BUT IT IF YOU
CAN GUESS HOW DO YOU THINK THAT
THIS IS GOING TO GO.
>> I PREDICT HE'LL BE IMPEACHED
IN THE HOUSE BEFORE THE
INAUGURATION AS YOU KNOW THAT
I'M I'M NOT CERTAIN BUT THE WAY
THINGS ARE MOVING
AND BE APPROVAL OF SO MANY
DEMOCRATS THE PARTY THAT
CONTROLS THE MAJORITY IN THE
HOUSE AND THAT
THE PRESIDENT WILL BE IMPEACHED
IN THE HOUSE, IT'S NOT YET
CLEAR HOW THINGS WILL WORK OUT
IN
THE SENATE, A TRIAL THAT
HAPPENS OBVIOUSLY WOULD GO INTO
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IN MAY
EVEN START AFTER THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE GAINS AND
THE PURPOSE THE TRIAL THAT
WHAT'S
THE GOAL. THAT INDIVIDUALS WILL
DOES NOT REMAIN CLEAR BECAUSE
AT THAT POINT TRUMP WILL
OBVIOUSLY BE OUT
OF OFFICE. BUT THERE REALLY
WILL GENUINE DESIRE FROM QUITE
A FEW LAWMAKERS TO REALLY
ASSESS WHETHER HOW WE GOT THERE
THE ROW PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
AS WELL AS A DESIRE TO MAKE
SURE AS ONE LAWMAKER TOLD ME
THAT I INTERVIEWED THAT NO
OTHER
FUTURE DONALD RISING IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE ABLE TO DO
THIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
>> WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IT IS
DOES CARRY OVER PRESIDENT ELECT
BIDEN'S TERM. WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN FOR HIS AGENDA IS THERE A
FEAR THAT PERHAPS THIS WOULD
OVERSHADOW ANY TYPE OF STIMULUS
TOP OR ANY OF BIDEN'S ECONOMIC
PLANS OR PLANS WITH COVID.
>> THERE IS NOT A CONCERN THAT
THAT COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE IT
WILL BE A DISTRACTION AND THAT
DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT
IT'S IN HAPPEN WHICH IS THE
ARGUMENT MANY DEMOCRATIC
LAWMAKERS AND SUPPORTERS ARE
MAKING. THERE'S THIS BELIEF
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAN
WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE
SAME TIME. AND ADDRESS THE
SITUATION THAT AMERICANS
CURRENTLY FIND OURSELVES AND IN
RESPONSE TO
THIS PANDEMIC THAT'S ROLLOUT
FOR THE VACCINE IS MOVING
SLOWER THAN IT SHOULD IN PART
BECAUSE OF AN ADMINISTRATION
THAT IS CURRENTLY
IN PLACE. THAT WAS LED BY AN
INDIVIDUAL WHOSE ATTENTION WAS
ELSEWHERE. AND SO IT WOULD BE A
BUSY OR DAYS SHOULD I SAY FOR
THOSE OF US IN THE NEWS
INDUSTRY WHO WOULD BE COVERING
ONE
SIMPLE ISSUES. BUT THERE IS A
DEMAND FROM SOME AMERICANS TO
SEE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
TACKLE ALL OF THEM.
>> MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT A LOT
OF COFFEE ON AND THEY WOULD
SAY WHAT PRESSURE OR
REPUBLICANS UNDER
RIGHT NOW WHO HISTORICALLY
SUPPORTED PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
IF NOT HOURS WE
SUPPORTED HIM HAVEN'T
NECESSARILY GONE AGAINST WHAT
HE WAS SAYING ABOUT THE
ELECTION IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS
AT LEAST BEFORE THE RIOT THAT
WE SAW LAST WEEK.
>> BUT I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING
ABOUT THIS TO FORM A
CONGRESSIONAL AIDE YESTERDAY
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT. DIFFERENT
REPUBLICAN
FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND THE
PRESSURE THAT A REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKER IS UNDER TO
CRITICIZE TRUMP OR EVEN SUPPORT
TRUMP IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON
HOW FAVOR TRUMP IS IN THAT
PARTICULAR DISTRICT. YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE SOME REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKERS WON THEIR RACES BY
LIKE
50.5%. AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF
THE INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU SEE A
MORE WILLING TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST WHAT HAPPENED
LAST WEEK IN OTHER DISTRICTS
THAT TRUMP WAS SUPPORTED BY
MORE THAN
70% OF THE VOTERS AND
SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THE
GOP LAWMAKERS ARE TAKING INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY TRIED
THIS
SELVES FROM TRUMP. IT'S
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ARE
QUITE HIGH UNIVERSITY POLL THAT
CAME OUT
LAST WEEK AFTER THE RIOTS STILL
HAS STRUCK AT A 70%. APPROVAL
RATING
WITH REPUBLICANS AND SO I DON'T
THINK ANYONE
IS EXPECTING OR EVEN MOST
REPUBLICANS TO DISTANCE HIMSELF
FROM
