Let's partner for all of it. Learn more@edwardjones.com morning Jane Foley. This is a morning journalism. It's been said is the first rough draft of history is still far too early to say how history will judge the momentous events of this past week, but it's not too early for us to attempt our own first draft of just what happened. Lee Coward will start things off is not going to take it any longer. What we it's been and it's all still unfolding that's inconceivable what we've experienced in the past week could happen in Japan or Canada or Germany or even the UK or France today. Why is that happening in the United States. We are proud and what does this week say about where we go from here ahead on Sunday. More the whole world really is watching the unfolding story of the attack on the United States capital sandstone will be looking at what they see five Fort Drum. It was not just Americans glued to our TVs, but allies like this thing out in the democracy and adversaries score there are some problems and democracy, each with a unique view coming up on Sunday morning how the rest of the world saw this, then we turn from events in Washington to visit with Norman Lear, the celebrated producer of some of our most beloved television shows. Not to mention father-in-law of our own Dr. John the pool. The very first script from all the family over crying on the age of 98. The producer who changed the face of television is still going strong. What makes it perfect program. The program program. They all make me pick having finished the sentence and heard me say make me tear makes me Turk.

We spent two weeks at home with Norman Lear later on Sunday morning Martha Tyson are past the story of the building known as the people's house. Rita braver asks if the capital riot could become a learning experience for our children stories from baraka and David Martin thoughts from New York Times columnist Charles blow and Steve Hartman all on this Sunday morning 10 January 2021 will be right back. The first draft of history is always, of necessity, incomplete. But we know enough already about what happened last week to make our own attempt at an early account I will cover story as reported by Lee Cowan can now add January 6 20, 21 to that very short list of dates in American history will live forever in his home this day, the house was right, domestic terrorism and insurrection. Hope is that it symbol of our democracy, pounding what you get home. Sugared Confederate flag nooses Body Armor zip ties for handcuffs were say a small number of extremist images prompted President-elect Joe Biden to use a word we rarely hear from our leaders certainly not about ourselves borders on sedition since election day. It's as if there'd been a part of political stew left on the stove burner simmering with conspiracy theories about the election in Philadelphia. They keep the votes of dead people should delusions not just glowing underbelly of the Internet from the White House. We can have election stolen like this and many members of Congress to we know that this is a really bad SL LX and I think that from what we know these folks have been hearing from months now. The election has been stolen from them. They heard that it was going to be stolen from them before election night really dressed as a researcher at the Stanford Internet observatory in part, studies the use of misinformation online Donald Trump won this election had been fed, consistent and misleading false narrative alongside calls from the more extreme elements. That said, we have to do something about this somehow stands some on my message board commentaries just wildly naïve because it had real world consequences. There is no distinction anywhere between online and off-line is CR election victory stolen by all radical left Democrats which is what stolen by the fake with just our before Joe Biden's victory was set to be certified. We will never give up. We will never see a battle cry. You, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had lost to George's runoff election this past week would soon leave him in the minority. And yet this election were overturned. He was prepared to accept our mirror allegations from illusions with the president could our democracy will object still eight Republican senators and 139 Republican House members were still intent on stalling the inevitable announcing they would object to the certification of Joe Biden as the winner. What does it say to the nearly half the country that believes this election was rigged.

If we vote not even to consider the claims of illegality and fraud in the selection outside the tidal wave of denial began pouring down Pennsylvania Avenue crash capital and sleep all the way to the doors of the House chamber itself, guns were drawn representatives, fled people.including US Capitol police officer Brian sick neck, a 12 year veteran of the force scores of arrests have been made in the wake of the mayhem and the FBI promises there will be that America next in ministration is about what nobody looks at this country, and says I wish my government work like that. Ian Bremmer is a geopolitical strategist of sorts founded the Eurasia group, which advises clients on political risk, 1989 when the wall came down.

We won the Cold War because people around the world look to the United States as an example of good governance.

You can't say that today this past week. He says, was just the latest tarnished reputation anyone thinks that we are suddenly going to be welcomed back as America's, America's, the global policeman with the architect of global trade with the cheerleader of global values.

We have squandered that legacy will come before Congress did resume its constitutional duties. That night, to those who wreak havoc in our capital today. You did not win, presided over by the outgoing VP there were calls for restraint heading into the all-night session. The best way we can show respect for the voters who were upset is by telling them the truth we brought this hell upon ourselves with their homes and offices around them laying in room some of those who had objected to certifying the election change their mind. Others did.

It didn't matter votes for president 3:46 AM the County Joseph R. Biden Junior of the State of Delaware has received 306 votes in the days that followed whispers clearing. Mr. Trump unfit for office turned in the actual discussions about invoking the 25th amendment. House Democrats drafted an article of impeachment against the president that could be acted on as early as tomorrow. He must leave a note from off by Friday.

Twitter had been the president is more than 88 million followers will have to find them somewhere else Facebook and Instagram walked into those watching the collapse from inside the White House urge the president to publicly grasp the reality that some are still not sure he necessarily believe my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth and orderly and seamless transition of power that did not apparently include attending his rivals in all he announced he would pass on that the vice president is welcome to come honor to have their Mr. Trump seemed to accept the divorce battle still insisted the water of my life is far from over.

All of my wonderful supporters I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning.

Abraham Lincoln once talked the choice between rule and brewing that was tested this past week unity isn't some kind of unit you might remember a moment after 9/11 when the capital was spared the attack Democrats stood next to the publicans and spontaneously broke into a course.

God bless America whatever acrimony existed. Whatever perceived sins had been committed melt under a common purpose to defend democracy.

All was two decades ago, partly ancient history. At least we hope you all and will the United States capital has long stood is the very symbol of democracy and self-rule. Martha Tyson, or takes us within its walls. After the mom had been removed. This is what the capital looked like as if it were glowing from within instantly recognizable shining on a hill.

I consider the most beautiful building in America. CBS's major capital is not just to a law enforcement in the evil of these insurrectionist also to look away it does to be a shining light be assembled in the country will endure is a building.

Americans take personally regard with one all, which is why the nation watched in shock as some line crossed on Wednesday. That picture texting lawmakers there pointing their guns at the door, every president since Union address. It is a building weighted with the accumulated history of our country's capital is amongst the most is the symbol of Western Brett Blanton is the 12th architect of the Capitol responsible for preserving and maintaining it when the founding fathers were looking to build a capital what they want to achieve with the structure they were looking for something is to represent George Washington wrote that it ought to be upon a scale far superior to anything in this country. Washington presided as the cornerstone was laid on September 18, 1793.

According to newspaper accounts at the southeast corner of the building. Congress began meeting there in 1800 built by indentured servants and enslaved people. It wouldn't be finished until 1826 in part because the British burned it in August 1814 during the war of 1812. We burned the parliament house account and the governor's house So they were basically coming back and returning the favor. Bill Allen is historian emeritus for the architect of the Capitol Senate stage, the house estate outside of the capitalist stage the whole building stage and upon these stages in various stages the trauma of our country laid out some of its petty sum of its noble sum of its funny some of it sad.

By the 1850s. The building had to be expanded when Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated in 1961 the new dome was still under construction. In spite of criticism, Lincoln kept building during the Civil War, saying if people see the capital going on. It is a sign we intend the union shall go on the backdrop for inaugurations since Andrew Jackson's in 1829. The capital has been under construction or reconstruction almost constantly.

Have you encountered any surprises.

We can't find the original cornerstone.

Yes, laid by George Washington somewhere is speculation investigations, but we don't know nearly 1,000,000 ft.² 600+ rooms, miles of corridors are everywhere. The capital is meant to impress.

Do you have a favorite place in the building statutory all why Museum of history because you statues two per state or commission, and you get to see throughout history, the states you'll represent them. Plus, in their location of the original house and on the floor are factors of where the famous house members such as their desk. It was in statuary Hall Supreme Court Justice Bader Ginsburg lay in state last September on the kata felt constructed for Lincoln's casket Lincoln himself lay in the rotunda will only 38 American granted what is seen as the nations highest honor among them former presidents, unknown soldiers, eminent members of Congress religious and civil rights leaders to capital policeman killed here in 1998 by a crazed gunman so ground defiled on Wednesday, but not for the first time, capital is always wishing to air in 1835 somebody tried to assassinate Pres. Andrew Jackson as he left the building in 1856, a proslavery congressman from South Carolina just about killed Massachusetts Sen. Charles Sumner and abolitionist as he sat in the Senate chamber, internal society, captured by guards in 1954 Puerto Rican nationalists shot at the House of Representatives, wounding five. There have been bombing and of course on 9/11 fourth plane, the one passengers force down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was headed for the capital before coven before Wednesday's attack. An estimated 3 to 5 visited the capital each year. A fence went up around the time being, shutting the doors of the people's house to the people, but only for the time being Structure built is rebuilt and expanded store.

All that is the monument for the American people is stood the test.

How could a mob successfully attacked the United States capital in the first place. What explain such a security failure.

David Martin is on the case. Mom running roughshod and unchecked through the capital and onto the floor of the United States and see the once unthinkable, was airplane crashing into build.

They could've blown the building up.

They could've killed us all they could destroy the government we dodged a major bullet yesterday barriers erected and manned by the Capitol police were more than they should have much more robust capabilities relative to six Michael Chertoff, head of Homeland security during the George W. Bush administration says the Capitol police bear primary responsibility. This strikes me as having been a real dereliction by the capital support dereliction doesn't explain this statement by DC police chief Robert Conti. There was no intelligence that suggests there would be a breach of the US capital. In fact, social media was full of storm the capital rhetoric including a tweet from Pres. from predicting it will be why hoaxes in the lives and then there was the rally outside the White House where the president and is allied with Giuliani while the prep was a serious possibility.

Let's go while it doesn't take a rocket shine just to figure out the best just a serious threat to the integrity of the capital. This was not a failure to connect the dots, but a failure to believe whether they underestimate because they were trump supporters. They were to be a problem. That was a very serious error can never be allowed as cultural black lives matter, there's a real threat of violence or just almost all white trump supporters generally question to ask.

They need to ask questions about whether there was conscious or unconscious bias for you political spin off percent of people in the Capitol police Democratic Congressman James Clyburn offered a more soonest or somebody on the inside of the buildings were this the need for answers is urgent. There already social media calls for more attack surrounding the inauguration of Pres. is going.

We will not be silenced. One of his supporters warned many of us will return on January 19 carrying weapons, but to see very scary activity over the next weeks and months.

Turns out the ugly and violent events at the capital this past week Apco ugly and violent chapters of America's past, we have thoughts from New York Times columnist Charles blow whose new book is called the devil you know there are many precedents for the way white supremacy response with perceived supremacy threatened. One example unfolded during reconstruction at the end of the Civil War.

Several southern states were majority black and several others within striking distance of being majority black, then the ratification of the 15th amendment gave black men the right to vote, which in turn meets some of the electorates majority black.

This was a serious threat to absolute white power so white supremacist banded together in Mississippi, a black power center during reconstruction informed the Richards group of vigilantes who use pressure, intimidation and violence to prevent black people from voting. What they couldn't achieve numerically at the ballot they would achieve terror in the community. The efforts works so well that redshirt groups soon sprang up in other southern states after their success. Mississippi called the constitutional convention in 1892 severely restrict black suffrage and a right white supremacy into the DNA of the state state after state, across the South followed the Mississippi example establishing Jim Crow as the code of the region for more than 60 years, I came to know these facts academically is an active scholarship but I couldn't fathom living through such. That was until the selection provided a modicum of similarity to back.

Over a century ago tried to intimidate voters war and during the election then sought to erase legal ballots after they were Attacked large cities and swing states.

Those with a large percentage of black people is corrupt and with his legal challenges expired at home with deadly insurrection in Washington is loyal is exploding in violence in support of his.

Make no mistake, the Red Hat's marauding through the halls of the state's capital were a throwback to the red shirts terrorizing the southern countries is my friend Darren Walker, president of the Ford foundation wrote not only is white supremacy. The greatest threat to democracy. Democracy is the greatest threat to white supremacy because when democracy works white supremacists will always reflexively be rattled, whether in the 19th century or the 21st we like to think people around the world to look to the United States as a model of democracy here sat down with a sampling of what they're seeing from translating in interpreting those events unfolding on Capitol Hill to place in real time on television broadcasts around the world. They shouted road from skilled US flags in India reporter Smita Sharon Macias at first she almost missed the scenes for some new fictional TV series. What many miss my cell phone: season couldn't believe we were sitting a country of more than 1.3 billion people. India has an interest in this story. It's the world's most populous democracy for being off principles and it is meeting Laura justifying to carry on does not in the Powell recap is a journalist in Mexico, a country whose populist president has not publicly condemned the assault on Capitol Hill was questioning the results so speaking about broke the image of the people have a kind of picture-perfect Washington always rituals that unfold with with military precision, American writer and Appelbaum, author of twilight of democracy was watching from her home near Warsaw, Poland. All of us are used to seeing demonstrations on the mall.

What was different about this demonstration. If you can call it that, was that it was a demonstration against American democracy itself for new book looks at antidemocratic trends sometimes fueled by conspiracy theories and the lure of nationalism, populism and authoritarianism. One of the ways in which the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians that as well and others use photographs of America is to trying to shore up their own regime.

The message from authoritarian states from those powers is look at democracy.

This is just too messy.

Yes, Putin she Maduro. They tell their people. You don't want to live in a democracy. Democracies are shambolic democracies or chaotic Mabel what happened in Washington really showed that there were some problems with democracy and is showing weakness said who she gin he is editor-in-chief of China's global times part of the state backed media run by the ruling Communist Party you have penned and released stinging editorials that global times is really jumped on the story. Why children are the words to harsh who asked can you give me an example, in one editorial you say capital mob represents an internal collapse of the US political systems, that's pretty harsh time.

I do not think America is collapsing. He said Capitol Hill incident has shown collapse within the US political system. This headline in a Kenyan paper taunts who is the Banana Republic now and Appelbaum says the Democratic world should be setting an example for those in other countries who were pushing for basic rights, the right to vote the right to have a judge in a court is independent from politics, all those things that we take for granted and they work so hard for may become harder to obtain is the US any less trustworthy than it was before.

I don't think so because of any action Leah court, the appellee is a member of Italy's Parliament and serves on the foreign affairs committee reacted also to preserve Noah democracy weight of the people she was encouraged to see the U.S. Congress get right back to work that same night demonstrating that in a democracy. It's the institution itself that wields the most power things can go wrong. Sometimes they go badly wrong, but they can be corrupted, which is something that never happens in any other parts of the war.

That is not a democracy is to take out with Rachel Gary this week Stephen Law ally of Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia. Georgia is right up there with New Hampshire's surprise, New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take out with Maj. Garrett on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put her mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or situations not being matched up follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts. President Tromp has 10 days left as a lame-duck president takes a closer look at lame-duck's past just six short months I will be officially lame-duck. I have no intention of becoming a lame duck president. It's a harmless, almost funny sounding term to describe the two and half months stretch between the general election in an outgoing president's departure. The term itself lame-duck write a lame-duck. I gather goes back to a time when there were British businessmen who had become bankrupt, then got attached to politicians who are going to be in office very long. The lame-duck label migrated to American politics was used here to describe outgoing Pres. Calvin Coolidge, but his presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin points out lame-duck still has wings, I still have every power that they ever had before. There is the power to issue headline making pardons and the power to help or hinder a smooth handoff to the next commander-in-chief so many other countries do not have that peaceful transition of power. It's been the hallmark of our democracy is good all George Washington.

Too many people.

The 78 days between November 3 and January 20 of this year are feeling more like 78 years, which raises the question why is this. So long. Originally the purpose of the waiting period was to give time for the new president to get from wherever they were, to Washington DC, and that purpose seems to be less necessary today.

Given modern transportation, but 20/20 isn't the first tumultuous transition after Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860, he had to wait four months back then inauguration wasn't until March 4. Pres. James Buchanan vacated the premises.

I can't even imagine what it was like during the period of time between Buchanan and Lincoln Lincoln's elected president, and then with in the matter of weeks after that seven states seceded from the union during the Great Depression. As Franklin Delano Roosevelt waited to take the reins from lame-duck Herbert Hoover the country itself was on life support. It's hard to imagine Franklin Roosevelt really did not know in January and February and March.

Whether the government could collapse before he even had a chance to put his his own programs into use. Hoover had suffered a humiliating defeat. What was that ride to the capital like on inauguration day in 1933. From all accounts the ride between Hoover and Roosevelt was very frosty as they say, but Hoover did ride in the car absolutely so it may not have been the most friendly of transitions, but they were trying to work together and that ride is just one of the traditions we come to expect during the transition season those rituals.

Few of them are mandated by law that are not in the Constitution concession speech of congratulatory call, absolutely. And these were just traditions that develop when you think about it. The word transition. Just conjures up something bureaucratic but it's really something more than that.

I just called the Gov. Clinton over Little Rock and offered my graduation, Goodwin says the concession speech has long been a legal step in consoling supporters so I can't say it doesn't hurt in helping them move on by the chores and of course accept the decision, but I have to admit, not with the same enthusiasm that I accept the decision for years ago people are filled with emotion and he has to take them. From that moment to that next moment of acceptance that signal to the country because this support is all over the country that have to make that same transition typically during this time, the outgoing president hosts the incoming one so that's part of the healing the outgoing president invites the family of the new president to come in and tour the mansion is the home of the new person and all of those moments, those are visual and emotional signs to the country at large to the supporters who are disappointed, who were lost the election to the new people coming in that they're not going to gloat because these two people are able to get together then we can to we were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did when this is presidential transition. Has been bereft of all these rituals for only the fifth time in American history.

The outgoing chief executive won't attend his successors inauguration to look back at this transition.

Even as it is now. I think with very troubled eyes.

I think it's a real loss for him for his legacy and for the country. Most importantly, the political chaos.

We just witnessed we become a learning experience for kids question Rita braver is putting to the leading children's publisher now marking its 100th anniversary with the horror of what happened this past week thinking in there is an important question.

How to explain to America's children. Kids will understand the company symbol is very important to them and so Dick Robinson, president and CEO of Scholastic teachers immediately started posting stories for students on the websites of Scholastic magazines fourth grade 1 will explain what in fact, Scholastic, the largest publisher of children's magazines and books in the world is just marking its 100th anniversary helping children make sense of things. A real personality as being in the lives kids in school helping them learn millions and millions. He is incredibly only that second person to leave the company and its 100 year history of first with his dad Bobby Robinson who flash out of Dartmouth started publishing a current events magazine for students near his home just outside Pittsburgh magazines were becoming mass medium of the time, so the enrollment projections for high school post-World War I were just going as I understand it when your father started actually work telling his mother's sewing within two years was being shipped all across the country. This one is the very first issue, which shows a female hurdler which was very forward-looking going directly into classrooms thousand schools got five schools took a long time to build teachers were soon asking for a variety of magazines geared to different areas and ages.

There are now more than 30 available both in print and online review of American culture and history have always covered difficult and even controversial topics. This was 1948. Still, the era of segregation during week we convert young man with two other white which led to Scholastic so so states and Robinson says school has already heard from parents who say That Capital Should Not Be Discussed in the Classroom. We Don't Hold Back from It's Our Role to Make Sure We Address These Important Questions.

School Has a Proud History in 1923 the Suggestion of Teachers and Principals. The Company Began Getting Art and Writing Awards to Promising High School Students a List That Includes Many Who Would Become Boldfaced Names and Scholastic Has Another Impressive Roster.

The Hunger Games. Capt. Underpants, All Based on Books Published by Scholastic Company Got into the Book Business Back in the 1940s Saw a Book Lover's Paradise. These Are All the Books He Published in the Last Three Years.

The Contrast Color and Its Color Tells Me What Narrative Most. So Whatever May Scholastic Senior Librarian. How Many Books Have Been Published under the Scholastic Improvement or the Go-Cart in the Library Has about 200,000 Records. Yeah School Published Now Beloved Clifford the Big Red Dog in 1963 after It Was Rejected by Other Publishers and Popular Babysitters Club Series Started in 1986, Written by a Scholastic Employee Who Saw the Need for Preteen Box That I Read Religiously Every Month, When I Was Getting My Scholastic Book for My New One to Be the New Babysitters Club Book Than What Am I Gonna Spend the Balance of My Money on like Many of Us Whenever They Remembers Filling out Those Order Forms for the School Book Clubs at Scholastic First Launched in 1948. Company Makes Money like Can't Get to Choose Their Own Low-Cost Books Shipped Directly to Their Schools. Even during a Pandemic Makes Me so Happy That Fourth-Grade Teacher Terry Handley Daniel Webster Elementary School Was Shown Personally Delivering to Her Students.

Fares Are Going on Socially Distanced Schools like Brown's Chapel Elementary in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The Books Are Discounted Plus Schools Get up.

The Proceeds, the Company Says Its Products Are Available, 90% of American Schools without Any Serious Competition. Basically No One Is Crazy Enough to Do a Very Practical Response Is a Publicly Held Company so Average Here. What Kind of Revenues Are We Talking about 1.5 Billion Dick Robinson and His Majority Shareholders and Scholastic. He Worked His Way up Is Run the Company since the 1970s. He's Now Three Is Faster Person Matter.

I Probably Should Discuss with Myself and with You Later, and Robinson Says the Company's Mission for the Next 100 Years, the Same As It's Always Been, Even in Difficult Times like Last Week's Assault on the US Capital over the Years People Turned Important.
