former chairman of the republican national committee michael steel and author and nbc news, michael beschloss. michael steel, let me ask you as a former head of the republican party, what you thought about that scene that we watched play out yesterday? >> i thought it was powerful on two fronts. one it spoke to the dignity and the impressive commitment of the idea of democracy that liz cheney has brought to this discussion. carrying the weight if you will for a lot of americans, a lot of us and on the republican side who still believe in democracy and to joy's point have not come to trumpism and the second thing was just the stark reality o the republican party at this point, how low it's willing to sink itself, these are the same people who are going to look at the country in the eye in less than 11 months and tell them, tell us hey vote us into power. giver us the power back. oh, never mind that we just crapped all over the january 6th commemoration. never mind we just stepped on the the anguish of the capitol hill police and people that lost their lives. give us the power back. never mind

and with us is historian michael beschloss. welcome both. yesterday was overwhelming.verything. and then last night all of the final interviews and almost too much to bear and i was not under attack but some colleagues were. with the gallery gang, the group of members who were stranded there and didn't know how to escape. michael, looking at this big picture, president biden denouncing without naming him president trump in the speech. >> he sure did and deserved. worst attack since 1814. the briltish burned the white house and capitol but they were foreign enemies. this is not a spontaneous crowd. we learn more and more. many recruited by sorel media and seeing evidence that they may have been helped by sitting members of congress. this may have led to an assassination attempt against mike pence and or nancy pelosi and most important there's beginning to be evidence that ties this in president trump. if that is all true this was a coup detat and may have been and don't know for certain may have been inspired by the president out quite donald trump or those around him a

nbc news presidential historian michael beschloss was with us that night michael, with some separationthe moment, how do you now see history books marking the day? >> looking more important in history by the day we talked about that i a year ago today, tonight this was an attack on the capitol and congress, no major than any in american history since august of 1814 when the british burned out the capitol and the white house. what is going to make this more important in history if we get evidence of this beyond what we know right now is was this abetted by sitting members of congress, was this abetted or instigated by members of the trump administration did president trump himself, was he involved in an arrangement to encourage this attack on the congress and the capitol with the intention of stealing the election and stopping the certification of joe biden and stopping the peaceful transfer of power if that is the case, and there's more and more evidence that all this may be true, we may be seeing a situation where nancy pelosi may have been up for possible assassination, or mike pence

michael beschloss, a lot of presidential press conferences and the historic ones you haven't seen yourselfve certainly studied and read about, this one clocked in at nearly two hours. so how would you score mr. biden's deliverance? >> we've never seen something this long. i think the previous record was bill clinton, 1997, 94 minutes, and some people said they thought it seemed like 154 minutes. it seemed a little bit long. but i think the white house was trying to make the point last night this is a president who's perfectly able to deal with a press conference for two hours, which he showed, although we may argue about some of the things that he said. at the same time, the most important thing that he's dealing with, yes, he will probably have a difficult year this year. he may lose congress. he may well lose congress just as clinton did in 1994 and just as barack obama did as david well remembers in 2010. but why is this year not like other years? this is a year where our democracy may be out the window because americans faith in elections, our faith that someone actually wins an electi

. >> michael beschloss, thanks for your perspective, personal as well as historic. really appreciate it. >>> and the u.s. economy growing by 6.9% in the first quarter of 2022 following a 2021 rebound, marking the strongest calendar year-to-year growth since 1984. the fed chairman has signaled interest rate reichs could come as soon as march and leaving hope more rate hikes throughout the year. joining us former clinton treasury secretary, larry summers, and the president emeritus of harvard university. thank you, larry, so much for waiting while that ceremony unscheduled previously, waiting, but, you know, from your boston roots you know steve breyer so well, from government, from washington and boston. so you know the importance of this -- >> steve is a great man, and he was true to himself in the way he emphasized teaching and lecturing and engaging with people and engaging with people younger than i. i know that as a former member of the harvard faculty, he was an inspiration to a large number of our students. some of the things he emphasized at the very early pa

historian michael beschloss had a similar warning. >> if we lose our democracy this year we are unlikelying more important than that. >> these days it seems like we are constantly being let down by everything and everyone. but i want to leave you with this. america's exceptionalism has always been soun by the ordinary americans who summoned courage in the face of fierce opposition to rewrite destiny. it's crazy horse fighting for the sioux nation at the battle of little big horn and winning. it's the hundreds of faceless women who gathered at seneca falls telling the world they'd had enough of being treated as second class citizens. it's fred kartamatsu who refused to accept his racist imprisonment in a japanese american internment camp. it's the freedom riders who faced violence and death because they refused to accept america's dehumanizing policy of segregation. it is the young activist named john lewis who led hundreds of marchers over the edmund pettis bridge which helped deliver the voting rights act. it's delores vuerta who waged a life long cruise aid to correct economic injustic

michael beschloss, the thing that seems to have changed has been their level of creativity. it used to be a blatant argument white people were being done wrong by these changes, right, from brown v board on, the civil rights act and voting rights act. this is doing us wrong somehow. there is morecreativity but it does feel to me like the right is sort of on the verge of at least trying to aggressively repeal all that the 20th century meant for progress for everyone else. >> right, been trying to do this for years and rollback the progressive reforms of the court from the 1950s to the 1970s. they have been desperatefy this, they finally got it. at the democrats had won the presidency in 2016, there would be a strong majority we wouldn't be talking about this segment. this is a court one-third of the nine justices appointed by one donald trump. every single one of them has a shadow. the first one, the justice, first justice appointed should have been appointed and confirmed in 2016, should have been merrick garland. that was a stolen seat. mitch mcconnell refused to confirm hi

presidential historian michael beschloss, thank you very much. "the washington post's" jackie alemany, what are you looking at today? >> there are a few stories on the back burner i cannot divulge at the moment, hopefully they will be coming out later in the week. also going to ukraine, we know there will be potentially be a renewed push for the climate provisions of build back better. there's a group of moderate house democratic lawmakers asking biden releasing a letter with the league of conservation voters today to ask him to reconsider it and get it to the senate as sort of a separate package, just the $555 trillion package, stand alone. obviously the scotus battles will be heating up today after a momentous week with the retirement of justice breyer. >> jackie alemany and tyler, thank you both. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," the united states is expected to confront russia at a gathering of the u.n. security council today. we will have the latest on the ukraine standoff and efforts to deter an invasion. >>> plus, more hopeful signs that o

a couple days ago, michael beschloss said that 2022 might be the year that democracy in america failsit back so easily. i hope more americans come to realize that. >> you know, david jolly, i, when i was coming on to anchor that day, i came on early and stayed on late, but when they asked me to go on, i remember thinking, i don't know what i'm covering yet. i don't know what this is. what is this? a security story? a political story? someone said to me, cover it like a national security story because they are not, the building is not secure. and so i reached out to former cia official, former national security adviser, and a former pentagon official all who had worked for republican presidents, administrations, and they said i think i went on the air around 3:00. they said in that moment that the only people who can stop this are people from inside the movement. this is going to be a counterextremism effort from this day forward. there is nothing you can say to your audience of people that will see it as it is that will make this not happen again. and it is not clear to me that anywhe
