victor davis hanson suggests it was self-serving, , he survived the war. that was one of the dynamics i had with victor davis hanson of world war ii and you give me again this book along with a number of college. this one as i recall came out of an aspen institute meeting. the aspen institute does a great job of here bring republicans and democrats together to talk about critical issues, usually an author is there who will bring his book. as i recall this one came out of that as well. those are the two means by which we generally are sharing information. >> what books are on your to relist? do you have any upcoming? >> i don't, i could turn the camera and show you the stack, and i've got a stack by my chair at home. either stack by my chair in the room, in the bedroom. either stack in the office here -- i have a stack. i just learned of hours in the day. there's one on russian getting ready to read come honestly i parlayed into it as well. it talks about the triggers that happened in world war i, completely unexpectedly. you're not having this -- the preco

>> reporter: good morning, christi and victor. and, that's right, president-elect joe biden really billed himself as a candidate uniquely qualified to unite the country. but yesterday, in wilmington, he did not hold back. his harsh criticism of president donald trump, saying that he was an embarrassment. and that he was unworthy to hold the office. and like you said, he did not really weigh in on that question of impeachment, kicking it to congress. saying it's up to them to decide. biden said that he was focused on those three things, the vaccine, the virus, and economic recovery. he also added that, you know, if it were six months ago, he and democrats would have done everything that they could to get trump out of office. but now, the fastest thing that the country can do to remove trump is to inaugurate him and vice president elect kamala harris in 11 days. but one thing that he did weigh in on is that question of donald trump not attending the inauguration. biden really changed his tune. take a listen. >> i was told on the way

from beijing melinda liu the beijing bureau chief for newsweek magazine and from moscow victor only of its lead expert at the center for actual politics think tank welcome to you all jason let me start with you today at a time when democracy is in retreat in so many parts of the world how much of a threat does the attack the transpired on the capital in the us pose to both democracy in the u.s. and democracy around the world well obviously the last 4 years have been terrible for the brand of democracy they have reinforced the the thought of the enemies of democracy that democracy is hypocritical it's a mask in the united states for white supremacy for for naked power grabs and for minority powers and the wealthy to use ultra nationalism in the service of their own glorification and our and yesterday was the hopefully the culmination of that so so i'm hoping that the backlash to yesterday will will will help the brand of democracy rather than harm the brand of democracy of course it's obvious what the facts of yesterday were and how it's going to be exploited by figures like jay or both

back and rethink some of the books i'm in the middle of now is this one called the second world war victor david hanson. at a meeting with him a year ago a brilliant man a brilliant analyst. a scholar looking at the whole premise, the underlying preconditions that led to second world war. i don't know, ever since i was a child this topic fascinated me perhaps because we were still with the residual effects of the post-war period. my grandfather had been killed in normandy. he was a medical doctor stationed initially and italy and killed by an explosion in normandy, france and buried initially at a place called -- where the paratroopers had flown in the night before d-day and had the battle before the great battle that cemetery was in omaha beach. he's in arlington now but the topic of world war ii and the ongoing fascination victor david hanson is looking at some of the ways in which we have actually taught the history of it and going back and trying to unpack the myths that it developed about it and doing a critical analysis are jiggly of the weakness of germany both in terms of armaments

the topic of world war ii of an ongoing fascination and victor david hanson at some of the ways that we have actually taught the history and going back and trying to unpack the myths that have developed in doing a critical analysis particular of the weakness of germany both in terms of the army and strategy and tactics, i'm honestly at the front and we sort of know how it ends but i can't tell you the analysis yet, the other book that i been reading is fascinating called the brand-new strategy and i sam reading them because i have a bad habit of putting something down and going to the next thing and coming back and forth is the way i do it but it's a fascinating book and restoring sustainability in 21st century a little over a couple years back, one of the things i found fascinating in this particular book they were talking about the alignment of trends between the older generation of the younger generation. something that i've often said, the older generation if you want to put it that way is marked by two really important characteristics, the ideals of both of ambition and beautifu

that was a dynamic i had with victor david hansen about world war ii. this one as i recall came out of an as spend institute -- aspen institute meeting. they do a great job of bridging republicans and democratics caught to talk but critical issued. usually an author is there who bring his book and this weapon came about at westful those are two meetings which we generally share information. >> what books or your to-read list? >> oh, i don't i could turn the camera and show you the stack. i've got a stack by my chair at home. i've got a stack by my chair in the room -- in the bedroom, stack in the office here, and i just -- it's not enough hours in the day. just not enough hours. >> what do -- >> actually one on russia i'm gating ready to read. aisle partly into it as well. takes about the triggers that happened in world war i, completely unexpectedly. you're not having this -- the preconditions are building up toward the war about the triggers that happened. unleash this massive assault on humanity and an unprecedented scale with modern weaponry and old

>> look, i think it's necessary, victor. this is the same question you asked about before with impeachment. what do people have to do to actually take action? when people have been murdered. when the capitol has been stormed. when the president has tried in every way that we publicly saw to overturn an election, if those kind of attacks on democracy don't draw some kind of response then really all is lost for us. the reality is whatever tools you have, they may not be weak tools -- they may not seem like powerful tools. they may not seem like they're effective but you've got to do something. i think that's what the call for expulsion really represents. you can't do what this person is doing inside the halls of congress threatening or, you know, liking, calling for or endorsing the murder of the speaker of the house. you cannot have that and then just act like it's a form of acceptable political speech. something has to be done. so, for many of us who are watching from the outside, yeah, let's have that vote. >> last one year

>> the victor david hanson book came out of the meeting i had with 20 colleagues. we were talking about it or take your national security issue. i spoke to him about it but i had read, the outer biography of a commander who was responsible for the notion that the blitzkrieg if you will. i found it on sale at the local library back home and i read it. i asked if he had ever read the autobiography and he said yes he had which didn't surprise me. again the man is brilliant but i said you think it's pretty self-serving because it's justifying his militarism and leadership of the german army during world war ii? and also creating distance between himself and hitler and victor david answered yes, absolutely it was self-serving. he survived the war. that was one of the dynamics ahead with victor david hanson about this book along with a number of colleagues. this one is the recall came out of an accident. the aspen institute does a great job of bringing republicans and democrats together to talk about political issues are usually there is an author there that will bring h

>> victor blackwell, you are not crazy. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> that absolutely could happen. if this was a criminal trial, the judge would appoint a lawyer. it would go to a public defender or somebody in the rotation. you can't really try a defendant without any defense lawyer there. sometimes defendants even choose to represent themselves in criminal cases. but this is impeachment. this is a different creature all together. and president trump could choose to do just what you laid out, victor. it's possible. he could choose to say, look, i have a good sense of where the 45 republican senators stand. they haven't necessarily committed to voting to acquit, but i have a good sense of where they stand. i am going to sit it out, protest it, whatever, let the republicans in the chamber make the argument for me. that could happen, victor. >> jeff, let me wrap with you, and congresswoman marjorie taylor green and this claim of hers that she had a great call with former president trump. how does that tie the h

good morning to you, i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. a source close to vice president mike pence tells cnn invoking the 25th amendment is still on the table, that's in case the president becomes more unstable. another source says that they have not even spoken since the attack. the other option of course is impeachment. a house democrat leading that effort says the article against the president for incitement of insurrection has 180 democratic co-sponsors. the plan is to introduce that resolution tomorrow. >> the big question at this point is the timeline. republican senator pat toomey says the president, quote, committed impeachable offenses, but he doesn't think it's possible or practical to force him out at this point. we've got a lot to get to with cnn white house reporter sarah westwood who is in washington for us. aire vice president pence, donald trump aren't speaking, the 25th amendment apparently is now being floated, but any possibility is open. what do we know about the state of things in the west wing right now? >> reporter:

player, i can say i'm a little excited, victor and christi. welcome to buffalo in january, lamar. and be ready, it might be chilly. >> oh, coy wire, good luck. i hope it works out for you, buddy. >> thank you, coy. >> stay close. ♪ >>> the american capitol now a fortress. unprecedented scenes as washington and the country brace for more violence. >> american people can be confident we're going to ensure that we have a safe inauguration. >> we are seeing an extensive amount of concerning online chatter. >> there's a guy ripping my mask off. he was practically foaming at the mouth. >> more than 2 million people have now died from coronavirus. >> the vaccine rollout in the united states has been a dismal failure. >> we were a bit too rigid. we were not getting the vaccine doses out in the most efficient manner. >> new warning from the cdc says there's a new more contagious coronavirus variant that could become the dominant strain. >> we're seeing viruses do what viruses do -- they mutate. >> this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> we'll, we've been here

>> reporter: so here's what will we know, victor. we know that donald trump is building his defense team. we know that the trial will begin february 9th and we'll see legal briefs on that and that democrats want a swift trial and want to see this proceed quickly. we kind of got a read on this last week when senator rand paul voiced a vote that the trial was unconstitutional. all but five republicans sided with him. the five that believed the trial should happen were senator lisa murkowski, senator mitt romney. democrats need 17 to sign on with this and right now that's a steep number. >> daniela diaz. let's bring on national political reporter for "the washington post" toluse olorunnipa. toluse, good to see you. >> good morning. >> let's talk about marjorie taylor greene what she said about the shootings in newtown and parkland, it has caused some of the parents of the children to comment. it's not pretty. i want to read to you what we're hearing from the parents of 7-year-old daniel barden. he was a little boy murdered in newtown, c

>> reporter: victor and christi, back again. i can't believe it's been 12 months, to think about where we were this time last year. this entire country was really wrapped up in uncertainty, unease. and as you saw in those images things are relatively normal. you see people feeling a lot more comfortable with being out in public. even scenes like this. i've got to show you this. this is from a club in wuhan. you can see folks not really worried about spreading anything, close with one another. many of them willing to take off their mask. that was something we saw play out over the summer. we saw pool parties. on new year's eve you saw people shoulder to shoulder in celebration. that's not to say there's not continued concern of cautiousness carried out in wuhan, particularly in the north. rime going to show you what we saw on the ground there just in the past few days. take a look. here we are back in wuhan china, here is a city when you mention it's name folks know it as the original epicenter of the outbreak. it's a lockdown th

good morning, christi and victor. the chiefs will have their quarterback for the acfc championship game. patrick mahomes was cleared by doc doctors.500 days after a fairy moment in the divisional round. i tried to walk off the field landing him in the nfl's concussion protocol. mahomes says he is symptom-free and he is expected to be at full capacity. mahomes and the chiefs look to stop my former team the bills from making to the super bowl for the first time in 27 years. "the l.a. times" is reporting that quarterback josh allen's father joel allen is recovering from covid and pneumonia. the buffaloes star qb could be playing without dad in the stands but his family will be on the field. i spoke with his running back and said what makes the quarterback so special? >> his veins is filled with ice. you can see it in his eyes. he is cool, calm, collected. like i say, by looking in his eyes, you know he ready. when you see that look in his eyes, you don't want to let him down. he depend on us like we depend on him. you do

>> absolutely, victor. it's all connected. what is so scary is every time the president gets away with his assault on the rule of law on a democratic principles, he accelerates his actions. his conduct becomes worse. when i gave the opening statement at the judiciary impeachment hearings, i said that if the president gets away with this, the only limit to what he might do next is our imagination. that was both predictive, because he's engaged in continued assaults on our democratic principles, but also in some ways an understatement because i don't think any of us could have imagined that the president would not only deny a peaceful transfer of power but then would incite violence at the capitol to try to interfere with the democratic processes. if you look at what happened after the president was acquitted, he immediately then, you know, refused to acknowledge the pandemic, the coronavirus putting his personal political interests over the safety of the country in a much worse scenario. he then weaponized even further the depa

>> i'm not sure that they can, victor. i mean, one fact that we can take from the last four years is that trump's support, the reality that he has created, regrettably isn't fragile and it resonates with a sizable portion of the gop, so much so that i think it's almost impossible to reverse at least in the short term. we heard predictions that the mueller investigation would sink trump, that impeachment over ukraine would sink trump and each time trump supporters have stayed with him. again, it's possible that this time is different and maybe it provides an opening for some more mainstream or establishment republicans to change the narrative, but the republican voter block is standing behind donald trump. in addition to the poll numbers you showed, you know, an npr poll found that eight in ten republicans think that the 2020 election was illegitimate. another poll from ipsos found two in three republicans think that their party is better off with trump in it. so even if trump doesn't run again in maga movement, trumpism, a

anyway the topic of world war ii is an ongoing fascination and victor david hanson is looking at some of the ways in which we have actually taught the history of it in going back and trying to unpack what has developed about it and doing a critical analysis particularly on the weakness of germany both in terms of armament and strategy and tactics but honestly i'm on the front end of it so we know how it ends but i can't tell you the full and analysis yet. the other book that i've been reading is the grand new strategy and i say that i'm reading them because i have a bad habit of putting something down and going back to the next thing and going back and forth but it is a fascinating book. it's a little over a couple years back but one of the things i found fascinating in this particular book they were talking about the alignment between the older generation and the younger generation and something i've often said is the older generation is marked by two important characteristics, the ideals of both ambition and today's younger generation is marked by the ideals of empathy and solidarit

>> reporter: good morning, victor, christi. president trump is watching as allies and cabinet members, aides one by one this week either resigned or publicly denounced him in the wake of the violence at the u.s. capitol that the president incited earlier in the day. president saw two cabinet secretaries resign in protest this week and he's heading into a very uncertain final stretch his presidency. as you guys mentioned, the last tweet that he sent from his twitter account before the social media company banned him from their platform was saying he would not attend the inauguration. that really came as no surprise there because the president has refused to concede so far, but it also further opens the rift between him and vice president pence who made it clear he will attend the inauguration if invited. now on capitol hill there is growing pressure to remove the president by impeachment even though there are only 11 days left. the white house came out and said that is not serving unity, the unity that they say democrats want. i

favor. >> jeanine: victor, very quickly, we only have a few seconds left, victor. this is what katie couric said on bill maur's hbo show, the belmar show friday at about g.o.p. members of congress which fits into what we are talking about. >> some people are believing the garbage they are being fed 24/7 by their constituents, the internet, and they bought into this big lie. and the question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of trump. >> jeanine: victor, deprogramming supporters of trump? >> i don't know where she prefers -- the soviet, chinese or north korea model. donald trump did not surveilled associate press reporters but he did not stick the fbi on a political campaign. and he did not weaponize the irs to go after his enemies. when we have fascism, it does not come with somebody with orange hair and a long tie. it comes with somebody who is suave, charismatic, liberal, and a law professor. so they better take a look at the last administration where we really did have abuses of civil liberties on the pa

we're back with victor davis hanson. and, victor, i want to take up that very issue. we're watching an unprecedented challenge to the, to the antitrust laws and anti-competitive laws in which silicon valley is dominating now politically and economically in this country whether it's in market capitalization on our exchanges, whether it is in size and scale and asset or their intrusion into the constitutional rights of everyday citizens or mere users and mere consumers, not citizens as the big tech and social media titans view americans. your thought about what is the best response to deal with this urgent, critically urgent issue. >> i think what's old works best, lou. we had a response in the 19th century when the railroads -- i'm in a farmhouse that my great, great grandmother lived, and i grew up with these stories that the railroads said if you don't like the price and you don't like the price fixing, get on your buckboard and use your horse. haha. and we said, you can't do that. so now 130 years later, we have these cartels, and they're saying if you don't like go

but it's all kind of related in a way, victor. this wars in the "wall street journal" today talking about jack dorsey's remorse if you can call it that. his -- you know, sort of second look at the decision to ban the president from twitter and it says the ceo maintained that his ban on mr. trump was necessary but expressed unease about the power and individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation. quick thought on that before i let you go, victor? >> very quickly, you can't have three companies all coincidentally go after parler and then try to deplatform and cancel donald trump. jussie smollettization change of heart in this hysteria. i think donald trump, you know, he has been impeached and now we are going to break the constitution, violate it and try to convict him as a private citizen. we are going to destroy his companies. not let his companies have loans. we will blast him from twitter. we are going to destroy parler. at some point people are going to say what do you want to do mutilate the polit

>> good morning, victor. i think it's important that the white house is creating a couple new jobs at pretty senior levels to really look at the question of far right extremism. they have brought on russ trav v ers who has spent time in counterterrorism, and josh keltsa. and going to be on the national security council. that's the first time we've seen that. the emphasis is warranted. if you look at the need for attacks carried out by extremists they are the most lethal, followed by terrorists and antifa-inspired terrorists. and the right wing problem and the jihadist terrorism remains a problem. so the focus is rightly on right wing extremist threat is coming from. >> you support the president's call from domestic terror statute, you wrote as much for cnn.com. i want to read this from the head of the aclu national security profit who calls it a misguided response. let's put it on the screen. congress created the definition of domestic terrorism in the patriot act that disproportionately and unjustly target b

vÍctor: sí, esto agilizarÍa el trÁmite para poder obtener la certificaciÓn requerida. palmira: hay otra que dice que prohÍbe a un refugiado que se le niegue el asentamiento en california basado en cualquier de criterio. victor: sabemos que cuando ocurriÓ en el desastre en el paÍs de siria y que muchos paÍses estaban aceptando refugiados igual como los estados unidos, vimos que en los estados unidos, ciertos estados indicaron y declararon que no querÍan estos funcionarios que entonaban en el estado, y esa discriminaciÓn no existe en california, que hay un refugiado que quiere venir a los estados unidos luego de ese proceso extenso de investigaciÓn, california no puede decir que no, no les puede negar ese derecho y palmira: realmente han sido buenas leyes las que aprobaron este aÑo que benefician a migrantes y hay que leer, hay que estudiar un poco, hay que consultar con los abogados de que a lo mejor con estas leyes, puede ganar su caso. presentador: vamos a ver con una economista cÓmo pista el 2021 en el tema financiero y si las personas podrÁn ver mejoras en

victor appropriately made reference to joe biden speech. i want to ask you about something that happened this week. i listen the president trump's entire over one hour long speech. i counted 38 separate factual allegations of voter impropriet impropriety, and i was struck by the fact that almost every one of them could be resolved in the courtroom or in a state legislative body, but not a single one of them would be resolved scaling the walls of capital so, i guess my question is, is part of the anger of setting expectations at a ridiculously high level, mike pence was never going to undo the selection, and i don't there was going to be a separate set of electors ever put in for arizona or pennsylvania so what is the role of the leader to be mindful of his or her rhetoric. >> the opposite of what donald trump has been doing for the past six weeks. i believe we are at a revolutionary moment but the person responsible for bringing us to that moment is donald trump. donald trump lost a winnable election. the reason he is not president of the u

that's exactly right, victor. essentially, what happened was, as the protests started, we were on a square and the police came in in full force, riot police, started detaining anyone. also detaining, by the way, a lot of journalists covering the rally there and i was among those briefly detained. they took me away, tried to take me towards a police van. at some point they realized i was a foreign journalist and i showed them my credentials and they let me go. a lot of people remain in detention. they are trying to detain as many people as possible to try to stop these protests from becoming full-force and very large. look at the crowd that's going past here. it is a lot of people who are out on the streets. despite the fact that the authorities have been trying everything that they can to prevent that, there is a lot of cops on the street, riot cops on the street, military police on the street. nevertheless, the folks have managed to come out and have managed to do this for a second weekend in a row. again, moscow

christi, victor. >> all right. jasmine wright, appreciate it so much. thank you. >>> alex burns is with us now. he is a cnn political analyst and national political correspondent for "the new york times." alex, good morning to you. i want to start here with the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, the rescue bill as it's called, and listen to senator lindsey graham on that price tag and the contents. >> i think the amount would be hard, but there are components i like and i don't like. i am hoping the bipartisan group, senator mansion and others, can come up with an alternative. i think we need to do something. i don't think his bill is going to make it, but we need to do something. >> he mentioned that bipartisan group, 16 senators, eight republicans, eight democrats. senator susan collins is one of them. she says she doesn't see a need for a bill right now. they just passed 900 billion. what is the expectation that's going to come out of this meeting? >> well, victor, i think the expectation is that joe biden is going to have a choice between trying

>> reporter: it's a pretty big shift in the narrative, victor. but it does not get at this security presence, not necessarily back for the armed insurrection last week. the threats keep coming in, according to the fbi. and the secret service and the pentagon about more possible armed protests here in washington. all of this is about the potential of what is to come. >> pete muntean in washington. thank you. >>> let's go to the white house reporter sarah westwood. sarah, we know the president obviously making his plans to exit. but we know that there is somebody who visited him recently who is hoping that he is still going to have a second term. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, that would be mike lindell, the ceo of my pillow who is someone who is pretty close to president trump. and he was photographed heading into the white house yesterday with notes, about suggestions that he gave president trump behind closed-doors in a meeting. among what lindell said he told the president was evidence of voter fraud. that's what lindell claims. of co

victor, christi. >> all right. paolo sandoval, thank you. >>> next up, republicans are demanding that the president resign after last week's riots. was it the final element for the gop, or is president trump's hold on the party here to stay? see every delivery... every yikes... and even every awwwwwwww... wait, where was i? introducing self protection from xfinity. designed to put you in control. with real-time notifications and a week of uninterrupted recording. all powered by reliable, secure wifi from xfinity. gotta respect his determination. it's easy and affordable to get started. get self protection for $10 a month. >>> so the republican party has spent years avoiding a confrontation with the president, but after losing the presidency and the house and the senate and now facing the second impeachment scandal, some asking what do they have to lose. alex burns is the co-author of a piece titled republicans splinter over whether to make a full break from trump. so i want to ask you about something that you wrote

great to have you with us, victor. this is an extraordinary, extraordinary moment as we look -- kevin corke referenced the green zone in baghdad during the iraq war. 25,000 of our troops in the nation's capital. have we ever seen that many of our national guardsmen deployed anywhere in this country at one time? >> i can't think of a historical parallel, maybe the raid in 1864 when he tried to take washington and abraham lincoln was shot at. that's about the closest we've seen to the militarization of the capital. what i don't understand is the lack of concern about it, because we always thought the left was the bulwark against a overweaponnyization or militarization of our bureaucracies, our military. we had retired officers came out and warned us when donald trump suggested that the anti that/blm movement was too close to the white house, that he might have to bring in federal troops. they said he was basically plotting a coup. they're silent. i haven't heard one retired general say that they were concerned about that

and not everyone can play so well in every genre. >> victor, you are so right. i have an image in my head, you probably are rolling some b roll while i'm speaking. i don't even though. but i have a vision in my head of bill clinton with larry king, of frank sinatra with larry king. and i have a vision of either larry king kissing marlon brando or marlon brando kissing larry king. >> it looked like it was mutual. they both kind of went in together, i think. >> so, you know, like to victor's point, it was the place where you went for everything and that is what i loved about it because sadly, you know, we've all gotten a little bit pigeon holed into particular areas and to particular view points. and it was also a place where the nation would go. you know what i mean? in other words, the landscape hasn't been so whacked up that republicans were headed in one direction and democrats in another and demographics and -- no, no, this was must watch viewing. and we were all attracted to it. i can't say enough about the impact that the way that he conducted himself influ

and historian victor davis hanson with us this evening. we'll be talking about the radical utopia the democrats are imagining for america. all of that and more just ahead. >>> while georgia's senate runoff races are in focus this evening, there have also been new developments in the battle for the white house. senator kelly loeffler announcing she will object to certain electoral college results. a source telling fox news that loeffl or will likely object to

. >>> this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell. >> and a look at the white house as the president is there, president trump, for the last four days. leading up to the inauguration of president-elect joe biden. and we know right now law enforcement officials say they are tracking dozens of people who may be headed to that spot there in washington. the u.s. capitol bracing for more protests ahead of president-elect joe biden's inauguration and the department of homeland security and several other agencies say domestic there extremists pose the most likely stress. >> and there is an internal report that details the major security and intelligence failures. investigators have opened hundreds of criminal cases against the protestors and some of the right o on the rioters a several are facing charge. >> and pete muntean is in the nation's capitol. and this is an inauguration like we have never seen before based on what you are seeing there this morning. tell us about it. >> reporter: the security keeps getting tighter and tighter. we're pretty far away from the cap capitol, blocks away,
