the capitol building an island in the sea, and its art and architecture a coral that steadily grows by aggression. the metaphor might equally be applied to any museum with an expanding collection, but the capitol is not a museum nor is it viewed as such by visitors. and therein lies another side to the coral metaphor, the one that struck me most but one with which williams was not concerned at all. for he could not have known that during the 20th century, they would develop an entire field of study devoted to coral mortality. to understanding why and how the world's coral reeves have suffered catastrophic destruction as a result of human land use, fishing and tourism. so just as the human impulse upon visiting a coral reef is to break off a piece of coral to take home, so have visitors to the capitol been tempted to take a piece of it for a souvenir. those souvenirs have in rare cases such as that of physical objects or they've been memories of physical interactions with the building's art objects, such as the kiss that ports shared with freedom. and that physical component of the capi

capitol hill. senators are making their way back into the room to hear the case that the house managers are building. you know what went down on capitol hill on january 6 by now. that is very familiar. they have played and replayed telling an emotional video to illustrate how bad things got. the premise of the house managers has been up to this point none of that would have happened had not donald trump galvanized them and pushed them to do what they did. others are say this was prestaged and prearranged and the genie was out of the bottle. house managers will make the case this this was really an insurrection created by the president of the united states. that is why they are still pushing to have him convicted and even entertaining running from office again. the legal read right now with jonathan turley, the george washington constitutional law professor, the fox news contributor. john yu, the berkeley law professor. welcome to both of you. jonathan, to you first. i don't know if any minds are being changed or we're getting closer to the 17 republicans that would have to be swayed to go ahead and

for plotting to storm the michigan state capitol building launch a civil war kidnap governor whitman transporter to wisconsin and then try and execute or this was an assassination conspiracy can kidnapping conspiracy look at the language that they used in the charging document the f.b.i. reported that one of the conspirators said he needed quote $200.00 men to storm the capitol building and take political hostages including the governor the suspect called it a snatch and grab man grab the effen governor one of those men has already pled guilty to this conspiracy the plot was well organized just like the one that was coming on january the 6th the men in michigan even considered building most of cocktails to disarm police vehicles and attempted to construct their own i.e.d. s. something that actually happened here on january 6th police authorities arrested extremists who had weapons and materials to build explosive devices including one man found with an assault rifle and enough materials to make a leaven molotov cocktails on september 17th 2021 of the michigan conspiracy is posted whe

capitol in lansing. they stormed the building. trumps marching orders were followed by aggressive attacks on the ground. >> we have our right! s and! let us in! [crowd chanting. you police are all cowards! you betrayed us. >> lock her up! lock her up! >> they showed up ready to take a violent stand. they came armed and tightly packed themselves and with no regard of course for social distancing. this mob may look familiar to you. confederate battle flags, mega a hats, just like the insurrection is who invaded this chamber on effectively a state-level dress rehearsal for the seizure of the u.s. capitol that trump incited on january 6. it was a preview of the insurrection. his response to these events was strikingly similar. following the arm siege in lansing, president trump refused to condemn the attacks on the michigan capital or denounce the violin lawbreakers. instead, he did just the opposite. he upheld the righteousness of his violent followers caused, and he put pressure on the victim of the attack to listen to his supporter

it was early in the morning on that day that we were told to evacuate the capitol building. first time i had ever faced that as a member of congress. we quickly ran out the doors and down the stairs and stood on the lawn outside the capitol wondering what was next for fear that this building, this symbol of america and its greatness was the next target of an attack. it could have been. we're not sure. we never will be. but thanks to the heroic efforts of passengers on an airplane, they attacked the attackers, went after the terrorists personally and brought that plane down in pennsylvania at the cost of their own lives. in a way many of us were spared from being targets of terrorism that day. when we reflected on those 3,000 innocent americans who lost their lives in new york and at the pentagon, i'll never forget the feeling that i was spared that act of terrorism and the hope that no one in america would ever have that fear again. fast forward to january 6, 2021, fewer than four weeks ago here in the united states capitol. again i felt i was the target of terrorists. that w

swat team showed and we retreated back to the rotunda and continued our hostile takeover of the capitol building retreated hostile takeover he's using military terms for this attack. the mob continued to look for speaker pelosi through out the time they occupied the capitol including invading her offices watch now how the mob searches for speaker pelosi is office which is marked in red and the house chamber itself. was. during the siege the speaker staff took cover in her office hiding in fear for their lives for hours as riders broke in and ransacked her office as the rioters were breaking into the capitol her staff retreated into an interior room 8 of them gathered in a conference room about the same time capitol police announced the capitol had been breech speaker pelosi staff heeded the call to shelter in place on our model you can see the riders in the rotunda in red and the speaker's office again in orange so this is a security video so there is no sound as you can see here the staff moves from their offices through the halls and then enters a door on the right hand side that's the outer d

like attacking the capitol building that's tyranny.d up in suits and have very nice dresses inside the capitol building that are voting on all kind of things that you serve our constitutional order. that's tyranny too. and i'm just concerned when you look at what's taking place now, the war against the independence of the supreme court and the judiciary, the legislative process which is intended to really have absolute control by one party and limiting a deliberative process when you look at the executive branch signing executive orders, and then handing them out like lollipops without any involvement of any other branch of the government. it's fine if the courts come in iter la and try to sort these things out but it is miengsdset mentality that concerns me that people are not willing to play the game within the rules of the game and that is very troubling. >> what we're seeing is spirit of 1789 but not the constitutional convention and the ratification that '8 9 we're seeing signs of french revolution of 1789 let's throw away the est

our objects were to, one, stop the rioters from entering the capitol building and remove those that were already inside. two, secure a perimeter so that the capitol could be clear for lawmakers. three, enable congress to resume their sessions to demonstrate to our country and to the world that our democracy was still in tact. and lastly, once the third objective had been accomplished, begin making arrests of anyone violating the law. at 2:22 p.m., a call was convened with among others myself, leadership of the u.s. capitol police, the national guard and the department of the army. i was surprised at the reluctance to immediately send the national guard to the capitol grounds. in the meantime, by 2:30 p.m., the district had requested additional officers from as far away as new jersey and issued notice of an emergency citywide curfew beginning at 6:00 p.m. from that point, it took another three and a half hours until all rioters were removed from the capitol. 90 minutes later at 8:00 p.m., congress was able to resume its critical work and fulfill its constitutional duty. over the course of

they had put up gallows outside the capitol building, saying that he was a traitor.that moment from inside the capitol building, when the writers -- rioters broken. then that moment nancy pelosi's office, staff being as quiet as can be, whispering in terror. all of those moments really brought a sense of how scary it was, how chaotic it was, how close they came to the people they were targeting. laura: the impeachment managers are trying to make the case by going all the way back to july of last year. that president trump back then said in a tv interview, he would not commit to accepting the election results, and tracing the events of january 6 all the way back to them. reporter: this is a very significant part of their case. they are saying january 6 was not an isolated incident, that the stements and action of the president, starting back in july let up to that moment. two threadbare following. one is that -- the big wide. he started to say the election would be fraudulent unless he won. than they say, after the election he said it had been stolen, that he had one,

thing was pictured with us we have every one minute it had that video is on every flag in the capitol building in every federal building in the u.s. that is a decorative sitting regardless of a speech to live by president donald trump regardless of the tweets he might pose. does it justify an attack in which 5 people lost their lives. there is no question everybody myself included especially michaud was appalled at what we saw on january shapes but you can lump under $1.00 money for every shingle individual chum of whom were 30405061 couple over chevaliers of age that went into the capitol building on january 6th that was my client was no more and insurrectionist than my dog and my dog probably could have got more people of follow him and the guy with the horns and the fur police in cyprus have used tear gas and water cannon to break up protests in the capital nicosia hundreds of people violate against corruption and coronavirus restrictions cyprus has been gradually easing its 2nd lockdown but it imposed when cases jumped after christmas the u.n. estimates that up to 400000 children in war to
