Countdown to shutdown on WTOP Wednesday morning. We're only about three days away now from a federal government shutdown, but the House has voted last night on a measure that would keep agencies funded for a while longer. This measure is different from those in the past with staggered deadlines for when certain government run out of money. But what's ahead in the Senate with this? Also, what is behind the allegations this that week former Speaker McCarthy took a physical shot at a member of the halls? To talk about it this all morning WTOP Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller joins our Dimitri Sotis. Basically, the Democrats decided this that was the lesser of many other possible evils in terms of legislation. Democrats, the White House initially put out a statement saying they didn't like this so -called laddered continuing resolution because it basically creates more possibilities for more shutdown deadlines. It's broken down into two steps, hence the name laddered. It's backed by Maryland Congressman Andy Harris, who was the one that came up with it and essentially it will take the funding for various agencies through January in one part and then into early February for the other part. Democrats initially thought it was kind of gimmicky. They didn't like it but then after I think they talked it over they thought well it doesn't include any additional cuts and it doesn't include this possible wall into the democratically controlled Senate. So they decided go to along with it. Democrats provided a lot of votes in support of this bill tonight. The Republicans had more than 90 people against the bill and it does look like it is on a glide path in the US Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated he will not try to stop this bill. So it does look good the federal government news and for federal employees that a government shutdown is likely to be avoided just days ahead of that Friday midnight deadline. Do you know when the Senate vote is? It's coming up there till still trying to schedule it and could come as early as tomorrow, but I think it will come well ahead of that Friday deadline. All right, so no more late nights with Mitch Walker on WZOP to bide our time, although it's always a pleasure to speak with you. Now I don't know if this is a pleasure very much. Some are calling it Capitol Hill Fight Club. Let's start with the incident between former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a Tennessee Republican named Tim Burchard. What happened? Well, this occurred incident in the Capitol as Congressman Burchard was being interviewed by an NPR reporter and Kevin McCarthy his and security detail were going by. Burchard says he was struck in the back, actually in the kidney, he says, by McCarthy and NPR reporter Claudia Grisales recorded his response. Why'd you elbow back me in Kevin? the Hey Kevin, you got any guts? Burchard later McCarthy a jerk and a bully. McCarthy for his part denied doing anything specifically to Burchard and said if he hit anyone, they would know it. But there is clearly bad blood between these two as well as some other Republicans. Burchard was one of the eight Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy as speaker. McCarthy is still plenty mad about that. And another one of those Republicans, Florida's Matt Gates, who also has issues with McCarthy, has sent a letter requesting that the ethics committee review it. We'll have to see if that goes anywhere. WTOP Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller Wednesday morning with our Dimitri Soto.

"Got to let the defense team put on the case. And, uh and we are. We should explain what's going on here in the middle of this pandemic. Reporters have kind of created a big pool system. So it was a lot of sound of phones being held at a distance to senators wearing masks and a little bit monthly. But Kelsey Snell is now with us. She's NPR's congressional correspondent. We have a lot of Ah lot of people who used to cover or currently covered Capitol Hill for NPR with us, Claudia Great Solace. Tamara Keith. Nina Totenberg. Kelsey Let me start with you. We really expected we knew what was going to happen today. And that's that this trial was going to end. Things got really off script very quickly. And as you can hear, the senators who are making the decisions seemed to have no idea what happens next. Well, part of the reason they don't seem to know what happens next is because the rules themselves are unclear about what happens next. They organizing resolution, which is what the Senate had to pass to in order to turn themselves into a court of impeachment. Basically just says that you know, the rules say that the witnesses would be deposed first and the parties and management defense Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, objections. Mr President, As I understand it. There are discussions underway and so I ask Unanimous consent. The Senate recess until 12:30 p.m. Your objection. Hearing none. We stand in recess till 12 30. Thank you, Mr President. Well, there you go. The Senate had been quiet ever since that first quorum call after that vote to vote to move forward with at least one witness, Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader. Now ask that the Senate recess until 12 30 little less than an hour from now, Kelsey. I don't think that's an indication one way or another. That road map has been figured out to go forward here. Well, no, because so they basically had to recess because the rules say that any witness has to be deposed the other side given time for discovery before they could testify before the Senate. But that's about it. They don't say anything about how witnesses would be admitted with how their testimony should be gathered. They have to pass a whole new set of rules. It seems it's entirely possible that they may need to vote again on a completely different set of rules to govern. What happens next, because frankly, they weren't expecting this. There was tons of political pressure for them to wrap this up quickly. We know as we've noted there is pressure from the Biden administration to move on because they have $1.9 trillion in Corona virus. Really, they'd like to pass on. Republicans also want to move on because they would very much like to stop talking about former president Trump Donald Trump. Well, what example of how there was pressure to move quickly was that at first we did not expect to be here today at all, David showing one of Trump's lawyers. Is Jewish and observant, observes the Sabbath and requested that the Senate not meet on the Sabbath today. Saturday. Hey, then we threw that request s O that the trial could move forward more quickly. But here we are now on Saturday, and the Senate has just has just taken a recess of about an hour as it tries to assess the road going forward. Claudia Grisales. Could you remind us what the question is? What happens next? What was voted on today? Yes. So this morning, Senate House Impeachment managers told the Senate that they did want to proceed with this question of witnesses. Is Kelsey mentioned this was something that that appeared to be decided that perhaps that they would wrap up today. But the question of witnesses delays that Further. And so that is triggered Syriza of discussions for Democrats for Republicans and some bipartisan conversations of on the floor of the Senate as well on how to proceed. What is the path forward In terms of these witnesses? The House impeachment managers have only mentioned one and that is a GOP representative Jamie Herrera Butler, but it's possible that other names could come up. From members and that's what they're trying to sort through right now, including. We have a little tape from this morning with for people who are just tuning in. Here's how some of this played out. Here's a Jamie Raskin House impeachment manager bringing up this issue. We would like the opportunity to subpoena Congresswoman Herrera regarding her communications with House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy and to subpoena her contemporaneous notes. That she made regarding what President Trump told Kevin McCarthy in the middle of the insurrection. We would be prepared to proceed by zoom deposition of an hour or less. Justus soon is Congresswoman Herrera Butler is available and to then proceed to the next phase of the trial, including the introduction of that testimony shortly thereafter. Esso, whether zoom ordering person things got testy after that, because here is how the president this is how Donald Trump's attorney, Michael Vander Wien, responded. The only thing that I ask if you vote for witnesses do not handcuff me. Limiting the number of witnesses that I can have essentially arguing that once that door is open, he wanted it all the way open. He went on to say this. None of these depositions should be done by zoom. We didn't do this hearing by zoom. These depositions should be done in person in my office in Philadelphia, which is where he is from. Of course, Tamara Keith. I want to bring you in to talk about how and why President Trump's attorneys air taking this approach. Part of it is that if Democrats call witnesses they want to make calling witnesses unappealing on by saying, Well, we've got hundreds or 100, or, as one adviser to the team texted me. Lots. Ah, lot. Uh, they are. They're saying, you know, if you want opened Pandora's box, you can open Pandora's box and we've got a lot. But of course, as judging from the response in the room at the time, I don't have cloudy can jump in. I mean, the senator's visibly reacted to all of this. Yeah, This was a very unexpected turn of events. It felt like today was in a way preordained in terms of how it was planned out and that they would wrap up today. But you could see the reaction and the huddles in the confusion that have followed on the Senate floor among members for both parties trying to try and stake this path forward on on who these witnesses could be if it goes beyond the one witness, representative Jamie Herrera Butler that At the lead manager Jamie Raskin asked for so yes, you could see it visibly on the floor and correct me if I'm wrong, Senator Grant changed his vote at one point, right Exactly Now, he has talked about this. Before the trail had started. He had threatened that if we are going to go there, we're gonna go to the question of witnesses..

NPR NEWS Washington Even as the Biden administration has said, it's looking to ramp up Corona virus vaccination efforts in the U. S is likely to be some time. For everyone who wants a shot can get 11 reason is supply, which, even with plans to work to dramatically increase that amount is hard to quantify. Tom Frieden is former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He spoke with NPR's hearing now. One of the things we've heard from the new administration is that even they don't have clear information on when vaccines are going to be delivered from each of the manufacturers, and we thought that is very hard to plan by the administration. Health officials have said they hope to purchase an additional 200 million doses of Corona virus vaccine by the end of summer. With US covert 19 death toll soaring about 431,000.

Good morning, Claudia. Good morning. No. Well, so a smaller inauguration than in past years, but a lot of preparation, huh? Yes, it was already going to be a vastly limited event because of the pandemic, and the Biden transition team urged supporters not to come to D. C because of the pandemic. And then following the insurrection on January 6, Now the capital area, as you mention has been dramatically transformed. There's a much larger security perimeter around the capital. Thousands of members of the National Guard will be there. There's multiple layers of fencing and barricades and people are barred from the National Mall yesterday, the Army secretary Ryan McCarthy, told The Associated Press that officials are also doing additional screening of their own members, 25,000 of them.

Incoming White House communications director Kate Bedingfield explained Why on ABC yesterday let's tickle is, um I think that will send an incredibly important visual image to the world about the resilience of American democracy. Speaking of resilience and democracy, President Trump in a break with tradition won't be there, Willie. No he want. Trump already said he was not going to attend the inauguration, making him the first modern president to skip the swearing in of his successor. My colleague Frank or Dona, spoke to a senior administration official. Said that Trump will hold a departure ceremony a joint base Andrews on Wednesday and then he's expect expected to fly to his Mar a Lago club in Florida.

Yes, the Senate will return for the first time since the insurrection, they'll be taking up several of Biden's intended nominees for Cabinet roles. This includes a secretary's for Treasury defense and Homeland security departments. Now Biden won't have his national security team in place. By the time he's sworn in, and this is a key concern is, Biden had said he wanted them in place promptly to address a long list of security concerns in a post Trump administration world. And also, the Senate will be back in session for the first time since the insurrection is I mentioned and we're waiting to see when the House could deliver the article of impeachment because once that happens That will trigger a Senate impeachment trial for President Trump Much ahead NPR's Claudia Grisales. Thanks, Claudia. Thanks for having me Let's talk about the security concerns that Claudia just mentioned job. Italy is our next guest of former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council. He also teaches at the University of Michigan and joins us from Ann Arbor. Good morning. Morning, Steve. Thanks for having me. How confident are you in the security preparations for Wednesday. Steve. That's a really good question. You could never say that. It's very difficult to say in the world of counterterrorism that we will have perfect security. But based on all the significant steps that have been in place between the Secret Service, the FBI, the National Guard other state on local, not state, but local law enforcement agencies that are going to be sort of bolstering the security presence there. This is a this is about as heavy as a security packages, as one could think for a special event like this, so so the hope is that there's enough security in place. Respond to any crisis events and that it will also serve as a deterrent for anyone who's thinking about trying to conduct some type of attacker conduct harm to the event. Yeah. Many layers of security block streets blocked alleys, and the army says, By the way, it's checking the background of National Guard troops. What do you think they need to look for? That seems to have come out over the last 24 hours. I'm not that surprised to see that being reported. I can't speak to the insider's perspective. But my sense is that Measure like that is just another security step that's taken in advance of the inauguration. And based on what happened now, almost two weeks ago at the Capitol, this is just another tool that could be used. To make sure the people who are going to be in positions of trust in thee for the inauguration or to provide security just have the right background. So I know I'm not alarmed by that. I just think it's another prudent step that folks were taken. I want to look beyond the inauguration on Wednesday. The New Yorker has published video of people who broke into the Senate chamber on January 6th and in the video, they're stealing documents out of senator's desks, and one of them actually, says, quote.

There is now an effort TOC some way ostracized. These people who pushed against democracy do political leaders. Need to be ostracized in some way if they pushed against the system.

Was this really deepening notion of political polarization in the country? They don't seem very accelerated from the beginning of 2022 where we are now, but also combined with that.

They weren't just being pushed by conspiracy. There's they were being pushed by State local leaders but also leaders in Washington members of Congress and then as we know, in the White House all the way up to the president. So this whole issue of this political polarization and the disinformation and how that's sort of combining with Members of a very senior members of our government. That is a disturbing feature of this environment going forward, and I think it's another reason why this threat is going to persist and endure well past the inauguration. Wonder. I mean, we were disturbed by the violence on January 6th. Of course most of us were anyway. But I wonder if we should be clear. That's not the underlying problem. I think about a lot of those protesters, the people who started his protesters and became writers Attackers on democracy, the they thought they were defending democracy in some cases because they've been fed..

Um they thought they were defending democracy in some cases because they'd been fed fantasies. It's hard to believe that so many people would have protested if they were aware that they were attacking democracy is falsehood, the underlying problem that needs to be attacked here. I think Steve that's one of the problems and looking at the people who have been arrested so far or or charged or the folks who are under investigation That's fairly. There's a fairly high numbers already. So about 40 arrested 80 charged 200 under investigation, according to ABC News report, And within that there's this diversity of different views and beliefs and ideas that propelled people to this violence or this disruptive destructive Activity so we can't unfortunately sort of label on Lee one sort of element and see if we could only just sort of go after the foot folks and cute on we have the right solution. This is going to be something that takes a long time to figure out one of the things briefly. The president was kicked off Twitter in a group called Zignallabs found the amount of disinformation about election fraud on social media immediately fell by 73%. Is that a successful way to attack the problem? They're deep platform ng sites like that. It's certainly a problem. But again, a site like parlor that was deep platform can can come back up again. And as of last night believe that parlor was back up online..
