they are intended for the rotunda.sations with the president, james madison decides the figure shall be life-size, to the commemorated would be the declaration of independence. the surrender of saratoga, the surrender of cornwallis. and finally, interestingly, washington resigning his commission. and that was james madison's idea, that that would conclude this series. returning military authority back to the civil authority which had granted it in the first place. he said it was such an act of selflessness. just a heroic act. this really must be remembered as an event just as great as the beginning of the war, the turning point of the war, and the conclusion of the war. >> with the theme of independence from great britain providing the backdrop, the first ever ceremony to be held in the rotunda was in 1824, as the marquis de lafayette visited the capital during his tour of america and was honored there for his service during the revolution. the rotunda that lafayette would have seen is still a work in progress though,

what does it mean that these images are in the rotunda. -- rotunda? it is being monumental lies through the public part. it is not just the founding period but what happened in the 19th century gets wrapped up in indian removal act and in the concept of manifest destiny of the united states fulfilling a god-given right to spread across the continent from the atlantic to the pacific arguing that columbus and desoto and other , people fromrs european empires who conquered the land edits indigenous people are something to be celebrated in american culture, and these do not just a in the capital, these paintings. these paintings also end up on the backs of 19 century currency. this painting of the landing of columbus was used not just on a bank note issued in the 1870's but also on two stamps in the 19 century. if we look at one of the other paintings from the 19 century in the capitol rotunda we see the baptism of pocahontas. completed in 1840, and like the landing of columbus, it also appeared on the reverse of money issued in the 1860's and 1870's, and

>> i have a question on the four paintings in the rotunda. i was just kind of wondering how you think they should be handled, because i am sure there are some people who supported -- support removal while others , prefer acknowledgment. -- acknowledgment of the inaccuracy and the incorrect celebration. i think it is really important to acknowledge, for tourism it's a really important form of education. prof. anishanslin: john vanderlinden is a great painter. his paintings are renowned for their skill and artistry and beauty. to your point, a lot of the -- the confederate monument controversy, a lot of those statues are artistic trash. they are hollow, they are made out of -- cheap metal statues that are turned out in the beginning of the 20th century. it's different to talk about the -- from an artistic standpoint something like silent sam being toppled versus the slashing and burning of a painting. you bring the element of artistry and it creates some problems. one answer that i think is fascinating is that contemporary artists have taken to

in the rotunda i heard that her office is near the rotunda andi that her office is near the rotunda and had been, there had been some looting in there and something smashed it i ran into a guy that was sitting at a desk there, putting up his feet saying how happy he was to have finally infiltrated the space. when the most striking things about your photo is that you captured almost comical in some ways, the incredibly offensive ways that these people were dressing. yes, it was very strange but i am afraid we are a land of disaffected conspiracy theorists and they struck me as willfully diluted in this disconnected from reality. in the pictures that we are looking at now, sing the donald trump is my president and all these people lining up in front of you, just described that moment and how the tea m described that moment and how the team to be in the formation. described that moment and how the team to be in the formationm happened so quickly, i remember thinking, at the moment, my god this is actually happening. they‘ve actually infiltrated the rotunda of the capital. so, it was big ch

i have a question on the floor paintings in the rotunda.t kind of wondering maybe how you think they should be handled. i am sure some people support removal while others prefer acknowledgment of the inaccuracy and the incorrect celebrations. i think it's really important to acknowledge. tourism is a really important form of education. >> and john, for example, is a great painter. these paintings are renowned for their skill and artistry and beauty. to your point, a lot of both the confederate monument controversy, a lot of those statues are artistic trash, essentially. they are hollow. they are made out of sort of cheap, cheap metal statues turned up mostly in the beginning of the 20th century. it's different to talk about things from an artistic standpoint, something like silent sam at chapel hill being toppled, versus the burning of a vanderbilt painting. when you talk about artistry, i think it does matter. contemporary artists have taken to creating works of art that directly speak to the protest against paintings, including the landin

in the rotunda, i noticed her office is near the rotunda, and i noticed people running down the hallwaye it's firmly, extremely secure. normally extremely secure. so i ran in there with them and i saw some people lingering around. the office had been, there has been some looting in there and some things smashed. iran into a guy who was sitting at a desk there, putting up his feet, saying how happy he was to have finally infiltrated this space. it was very strange, but i'm afraid we are a land of disaffected conspiracy theorists, and they struck me as willfully diluted, and disconnected from reality. i remember thinking at the moment that this was sickening and it was also inevitable, that it was a culmination of four years of trump's american carnage. the man behind some of those incredible images. let's pause in and bring you up—to—date with the weather, here is darren bet. hello there. thursday was a really cold day in the midlands where the fog persisted. and it's cold widely at the moment, of course, we're got a widespread frost, and again, for many parts of the country, it could be

capitol rotunda? it means that what's being celebrated in the u.s. capitol, what's being monumentalized is what happened in the 19th century that gets wrapped up in indian removal and in the concept of manifest destiny of the united states fulfilling a god given right to spread across the u.s. continent from atlantic to pacific, really arguing that columbus and desoto and other early explorers and people are from european empires who come and conquer the land and its indigenous peoples are really something to be celebrated in american culture, and these don't just stay in the capitol these paintings. these paintings also end up on the backs of 19th century currency. this, for example, this painting of the landing of columbus was used not just on a bank note issued in the 1870s but also on two stamps in the 19th century. and similarly, if we look at one of the other of those four paintings from the 19th century in the u.s. capitol rotunda, we see here the baptism of pocahontas by john gatsby chapman. this was completed in 1840, and like the columbus,

columbus is celebrated in the capital rotunda. the capitol rotunda has eight epic paintings within it, these enormous paintings you can see, sort of a popular public tour of the capitol. four of them commemorate things from the revolutionary era and they celebrate the revolution, the founding period. the other four are from the 19th century and they're described by the u.s. capitol historians as, quote, four seen of early exploration in the united states. these are interesting word choices because these depict things like this painting which is the landing of columbus. completed -- installed in 1847, commissioned by congress in 1836. they also include desoto's expedition of the mississippi. mississippi valley. and the baptism of pocahontas. in other words, they depict scenes that could be called not early exploration but scenes of dispossession, scenes of conquest and disposition of indigenous people and their lands. in the case of pocahontas we'll discuss, dispossessing her from her own culture in ways that have been critiqued by

giving you a look here next at some of the paintings in the rotunda of james madison.et's take a look. [video clip] >> these were great paintings showing the events of the american revolution and the question was whether congress would buy them and when congress appropriated the money to commission him for four of his great american revolutionary war scenes, the function of the rotunda as a memorial to the american revolution is sanctified and these four great paintings are commissioned specifically for the room. they are not just bought by congress, but the idea is that some will go on the house side, some will go on the senate side and they are intended for the rotunda. in conversations with the president, james madison decides that it shall be life-sized. the event is to be commemorated, the declaration of independence. the surrender in saratoga. the surrender of cornwallis. finally, interestingly, washington resigning his commission. that was james madison's idea, that painting would conclude the series. some had thought bunker hill or another military engagement b

that's the main area between the house chamber over to the rotunda. that tells you they were trying to evacuate. what we don't know, where is mike pence? he ostensibly is still in the building, was presiding over the joint session which has been suspended, where is the person who is next in line? nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house. we don't know. back to you. >> dana: chad, thank you. rich edson is outside. >> good afternoon. you've seen this effort to try to get to the capitol building and now you can see the protesters. they are cheering and they have gone to a place in the capital where they are clearly not supposed to be. the inauguration is supposed to take place in a couple of weeks. when they got to that area, you heard the crowd erupted in applause that those folks had gotten to that point. more people continuing to approach the capital. at the beginning you had this concentrated group that was moving towards the capital. it's broken down. there are people everywhere around here. with that they are police streaming everywhere. if we can go

before we realize people had breached the building and were walking through the rotunda. this is a huge victory for these protesters. they have disrupted the system and an enormous way. i want to remind everyone with what happened earlier this week. people going to josh hawley's house, spray paint on mitch mcconnell's door, nancy pelosi's door, and we've been tracking the escalation of the spirit look at what you have now. you have protesters the capitol building and quite an incredible act that i think, revolt is not a word that can be used year. >> dana: i want to jump in

you will note here that the famous rotunda has not been with finished, and latrobe and jefferson both hoped that he'd be able to work on the creation and refurbishing of the building and also the creation of the rotunda. he did change his design, and we see some of his design on the evening news. if you watch clearly behind the politicians who are being interviewed, you will see what is grecia marble. latrobe liked to use native elements, and he has discovered this what was called puddle stone. it's gray and it has flecks of purple and red and yellow. it's gorgeous. and he used this in the new version of the assembly room. and i encourage you all when you're listening to the politicians talking about current events to look behind them in statutory hall at those gray columns. that is latrobe's enduring contribution to our civic culture: having returned to the capitol, latrobe had hoped that he might stay there. but again there really was not enough, there were not enough architectural commissions for him to do so. he had had a short interim time when he had left washington, and he had

so it was absolute chaos in the rotunda. climbing on these historic statues, posing for selfies, chanting. and then this fellow comes by with the podium, which seemed very strange and out of place. and so i started to take pictures of this guy as he was traversing the central portion of the rotunda and he noticed i was doing so and turned to wave like it was, i don't know, a holiday photo of some type 37. >> i'm just curious of all the images you took, everything you saw on wednesday, what is the one image or the moment you just can't stop thinking about that's sort of seared into your memory this many days later? >> a personal favorite of mine is of course -- i think it's the man who is hanging from the ledge in the senate chamber and trying to get down to the main floor of the chamber. because it just kind of highlights the type of chaos and the out of place nature of what took place that day. >> by the way, that man who was hanging on the ledge, today a news outlet is reporting he apologized and he said he got caught up i

gathered in late january -- first at the national lgbtq center for the arts, then last year in the rotunda of city hall -- so i could share with you my view of the state of our city. as we gather virtually today, you don't really need me to tell you the state of our city. we are anxious. we're frustrated.

like i said, i was in the rotunda, so part of the problem was that as the police were pushing people back, rioters were obviously fighting back, and so, it was just a mass of people, and as i told tucker earlier, it became very dangerous because people were being trampled on, and i was trampled on a few times, and it became very, very hard to breathe because we couldn't move. we were smashed up against each other. and so, i think what ultimately they decided to do was try and push everyone out and sort everything out later just because it was very, very hard for them to even take back the rotunda, you know, that's a very popular tourist attraction the there, and it's very easily accessible, as we found out, from the outside. >> shannon: yeah. not normally on a normal day. julio and lisa, thank you for your coverage, in-depth, and we are glad you're both safe. >> thank you. >> shannon: at the end of a long day unlike any other in our nation's history, members of congress are back to the business of working through those electoral college votes from each state. bring in tonight's panel

congressman andy kim was so disturbed by what he saw as he walked through the rotunda that he grabbed a trash bag, got on his knees and helped pick up the trash left behind. wow. congressman kim joins me tonight from his district in new jersey. congressman, you are a really great man. i want to thank you for what you did. what was going on in that moment? what were you thinking? >> well, thank you for having me. i really just think what i was doing was a very ordinary in the extraordinary times. i just had finished voting on the house floor and walking around the capitol for the very first time since the siege ended, and when i got to the rotunda, seeing this beautiful room, this soaring, extraordinary room under the capitol dome in such disarray, this room that i love, this building that i love, my heart broke. you know, this is a building where my mom and my dad, my immigrant parents brought me when i was a kid to show my respect to the country, and it was hurting and i wanted to do my best to try to fix it up. so i just grabbed the trash bag and started to clean up the building. >>

then, last year in the rotunda of city hall. so i could share with you my view of the state of our city. as we gather virtually today, you don't really need me to tell you the state of our city. we are anxious. we're frustrated. we're impatient. and we are lonely. i know it, because i feel it myself. and i know in many cases, folks are hurting even more than that. but if i can impart anything to you today, it is that we deserve, we need to feel two more things: pride and hope. pride because we have pulled together to weather storms like we've never seen before. hope because we can see a brighter future. the fact is, the state of our city is resilient. and it is resilient because of what all of us, every one of us, have accomplished this past year. i'm speaking to you today from asconi center, but i want to start a few miles from here at lagoona honda hospital. one of the largest scale nursing facilities in the country. 155 years since it was founded to care for aging pioneers, it's served the neediest people of san francisco thr

>> reporter: they'll go from the house side to the capitol rotunda to the senate side in which they'llted by the acting senate sergeant in arms. they'll come into the senate chamber. the sergeant in arms will essentially command the senators to be present, to be there or face potential punishment. those are standard words that are announced to the senators on the senate floor. and then at that point the house impeachment manager, the lead manager jamie raskin will lead the article of impeachment charge, donald trump with inciting an insurrection that led to the deadly riot that happened here on capitol hill. at that point afterwards, house members will retreat back to their chamber. the senate essentially will be done for the evening and tomorrow will be the day in which senators will officially be sworn in, because they're acting as jurors in this case. unlike 2020 when chief justice john roberts oversaw the trial of donald trump who was charged with abusing power and obstructing congress, this time senator patrick leahy, the democrat from ohio, the democratic senior member of the cha
