- As a symbol and an institution, the United States Capitol Building is more than just the seat of our government. Correspondent Martha Teichner looks at the history of one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, from its design and construction, to the backdrop it has provided for our democracy.

Symbols can be rebuilt but the lives can not. The capital policeman who died to protect it, should be honored, along with the officer that held that doorway! Get rid of the officers that didn't do there job, NOW! TODAY!!
The most violent act was a government employee shooting an unarmed female veteran in the neck to protect the elites who control his pay and pension.
@@josephmoran3265 . . . Right. Shooting an insurrectionist to protect the people you're charged with defending is a FAR more "violent act" than repeatedly bashing in a cop's head with a fire extinguisher because you're on a mission to interfere with our democracy. Gotcha, Joseph.
@@josephmoran3265 the government employee did the right thing to shot tht terrorist ...... those terrorist had pipe bombs and rifles. .....if it wasn't for the brave police official. .....things wud be alot worse
@@josephmoran3265 There were by-standers shouting at her, "STOP, they have guns!", she chose to move forward anyhow in an illegal action of entering a building that was closed to the public, that in and of itself is a felony . She chose to put herself in that danger because fervor to support a disproved Lie made by Trump and his equally fervent supporters over-ruled common sense.
@@josephmoran3265 Who would have thought that participation in an armed insurrection would be dangerous? YOU ARE A REAL DUMBA$$!
Prosecute the ALL! Including any enablers in our Congress!
That's what investigators do. I know their hearts are in the right place.
This "administration" has a lot of 'splainin to do!
It's criminal to enable such an attack on your innocent Americans just doing their jobs. Sore hateful losers who can't accept the election. Because Trump lied and said it was stolen.
And the BLM peaceful looting protesters.
I absolutely adore and always learn so much from each and every one of the CBS Sunday Morning episodes! Thank you so much for existing. You are appreciated!
Hello Ani.... How are you doing?
@@jamesstuart6507 You're a creep.
The US spends around $750 billion a year on defence, but couldn't protect the center of government from the Duck Dynasty and an idiot in a viking hat.
There is sa rumor, or maybe a fact, we gotta check, that the officials trump put in charge of the pentagon, delayed the response of defending the capital
Why do people keep repeating this same quote from Twitter?
That's police in this country. Ample warning in the nashville bombing as well. They suck
if you watch the videos, before they even got to the front doors there were capitol police removing barricades and letting people through. I don't know if it's because they felt those metal gates could become weapons to use against them or because they were sympathizers and wanted the people to get to the doors faster.
I'll bet Trump is behind that
Surrender Donald! Time to resign!!!!!!!!!!!
@L H Donald= Deranged, Delusional, Detached, Disconnected, Dangerous and Destructive.
Donald Trump: 'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters'. He was spot on with this one..
Trump has blood on his hands!
13, he sure knows what his voters are able to.....
@@wilhelmushoffmann8054 81M voters voted him out! Good riddance!
The only time he EVER spoke truth!
@@6262742 incredible
The terrorists who were screaming "this is our house, we own it"... probably never been to capital hill before 1/6/21.
A good example is this idiot who sat in Vice-President chair in the Senate saying it is "Pelosi chair", thus failing miserably the US constitution exam.
Yeah. That’s unfortunately how people with no education speak.
@@snow.flower Having no education is not a problem. Trying to hang #2 and #3 persons in the Republic is a big one.
NO!! You don't just walk in the front door. I've been there twice.
I will come back from this but it is truly a shame that it actually happened. That’s such a reckless man could do so much damage. Shame on him and as a country we do have to pull together.

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” - George Carlin
We will rebuild... not only the physical aspects of the Capitol; that actually is the easy part. But we will rebuild its symbolism and what it stands for: freedom, resilience, democracy
@@phillipp5538 What, you don't?
@@phillipp5538 Those are fair and legitimate points. I understand that many feel this way as well, but many more see it as a beacon of hope and opportunity for change and national betterment. Regardless of how you see it, it is an important historical building, as such it should have been protected from what happened to it.
It’s really a magnificent building.
Last time I was there, I was 13 for a field trip. We walked right past the capitol building. It's real something seeing it in real life
Personally, I don’t understand how police, National guard etc can control BLM, immigration and other protest but couldn’t control this attack??
@Nancy Davieau They never needed
To truly understand, ... Who held up the National Guard for so long and also who installed the heads of the CIA and the FBI? Hint: It was none other than Donald J Traitor.
Because Trump...most of his fellow party members and some of those capital officers have the exact same mindset as the people in that mob.
The policeman that they killed should now lay there too 🙏
Absolutely 💯
also I'd forgotten Trump never attended Ginsburg's laying in state ...
@@paulgribbin68 great news! - I know a Nigerian buisnessman who has inherited a few million he would like to transfer to your account for just a $4,500 fee (what a coincidence that you already have such an amount!).
Please send me your bank details and we can start winning bigly!
I cried thru this whole segment due to what happened this week...
Hello Kirsten... How are you doing?
Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's new speech on TH-cam about the insurrection. Everyone should listen to it especially those heinous criminals who broke the glass.
Now Time for us to hold these people accountable… Including Trump and those who continued to spell lies about election fraud.
@@pakde8002 where was him when BLM was destroying lives?
@@pakde8002 He did it very well! best wishes from Austria
As a Brit, l found this really interesting.
Thanks for explaining it.
Cannot imagine how l would feel if it was our Houses of Commons and Lords being overwhelmed.
Peace America. X
Remember, remember the fifth of November.
God bless America land that I love.
although He seems to have nodded off during 2020 ...
We saw it coming, but still believed, "it couldn't happen here". Sad day indeed.
So much destroyed on January 6, 2021, the low life criminals destroyed much more that any treasures that they took or destroyed. I only hope that ultimately the capital will be opened to the public again. But, I understand, if it is not. Shame on the government for not putting down this rebellion properly. The confidence of the nation has been shaken.
It has shaken me to know how many Americans believed a rogue President and are so racist. They are white guys scared of not staying in power. I understand, but we need to incorporate all people and represent all people, if we can.
They've destroyed themselves and their credibility, in the eyes of the world. They will try in the next 4 year to destroy the country also, but I doubt they will be allowed to.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 I hope you are right.
@@kathi3014 it is sad that some people must inject race into everything. Would it have been any better if the majority of them had been black? The ignorant who are blinded by there color are the biggest problem because they can not see the real evil that confronts us all. You do not have to be ignorant. Just open you eyes. Until you do you are just dead weight that holds everyone back.
Hey TRUMP supporters? Do you feel *proud* of what you did?
The next time Trumpers want to show their support they should do it at Mar-a-Lago!
I wonder if their Mamas do. Or Daddies.
Shamed!!
@@zenobiaookpik keep that BS Out of FL!!!!
It's like a secular cathedral.
A church exalts God.
The capital exalts the idea of democracy.
We are a Constitutional Republic, Democracy is mob rule. Bad people ( Marxist) are using this idea of democracy to destroy America. Can you see the downward spiral of hate and division from the labels the Marxist put on people? They sit back and rub their hands in glee at the chaos they create. They are a fifth column and they are evil!
I visited the Capitol around 10 years ago. The beauty and history of the Capitol is beyond words. It's a place every American should visit if they're able to, because it will "change" you.
My heart broke when I watched the events unfold on January 6th, 2020.
I pray that our nation will come together again amongst all the division that has happened. 🇺🇸
2021
@ Yes, I've heard. I'd rather have hope than pure hatred.
The Rotunda!! Sacred.
What a beautiful building.
4:16 It's not STATUTORY hall. It's Statuary Hall. Full of statues. Not Statutes.
Why did you capitalize "Statutes"?
Magnificent Building!
Little story... I have an Aunt who worked pretty high up in the government in the 1980's. My family was lucky enough to get a "private" tour of the Capitol Building. I was only 10, but I was in AWE. I still remember so many details. How it's impossible to have a private conversation in the rotunda 😉, to being in the Senate chamber, to standing in front of some giant chairs on a dias in some giant room (very intimidating!) We have an American flag that flew over the US Capitol at some point, presented to my Dad by the Speaker of the House. That scene on Jan. 6th 2021 was truly scary, but the Capitol lit up that night was the truth. She stood. She held. She is a glorious building, the Capitol of this beautiful country. May she, and our beloved Country forever stand. 🇺🇸
Thank you for that.
Where there is Injustice there must be Justice! Martin Luther King jr.
Love the story !!
Trump had the blessings of the RNC head she needs to be looked at.
Embarrassing on so many levels.
Embarrassing? Or terrifying?
@@camofrog Embarrassing. It would be terrifying if this dark path is still being taken.
I'm still stunned, still sad.
I see it very differently now.
When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.
Hats off to the staff who put this together. You deserve it.
I live in DC and one day when I was there outside, a woman (American Tourist) came up to me and asked what that building is. Yes she was a grown woman
Wow. That's pretty sad.
Reflection of the education she received in the US.
In memory of those who perished in it's defense... keep it lit!
It's lit bro 🔥🔥🔥
The wall that they're putting around the Capitol reminds me of the glass wall around the Eiffel Tower in Paris, except this time it isn't to protect the monument from foreign terrorists, it's to protect it from domestic ones.
I love the statuary hall too.
No more years
No more years
No more years.
... lovely report 💕
It is, isn't it!!
The building has stood but what it stands for will not. I weep for my nation, my fellow countrymen, and democracy.
Thank you
You hear the mob saying this is their house and they broke windows and defecated in the halls. I think they don't take care of their houses
I look forward to this on Sunday mornings. Thanks CBS!
Isn't it ironic that the capitol is placed Right in Washington where 85% of black people live
Every single person who stormed that building on Wednesday needs to be arrested, tried, and face the consequences of their actions. They are terrorists, pure and simple.
Exactly!!!
🤣🤣🤣
You guys are funny
@@biizhy2153 - better than being a terrorist.
@@evansquilt If thats the case then why arent the BLM rioters not arrested? RIOTERS not the peaceful protest the rioters not arrested they burnt down court houses
One of the few actually beautiful buildings in the US.

White Supremacists and Traitors are to be arrested. Anti American Activity. Burn the confederate flag now.
No one shall burn this building.
Beautiful Building
Me, seeing this pop up in my yt recs while I doom scroll: "1 day old? Oh god that was ages ago...things could be even worse and crazier by now"
So there are some minor arrest, but what about the head of the snake, the trumpetClown ?????
Are you letting him go AGAIN ??
George Washington helped lay a cornerstone of our Capitol building. Over 200 years later, Trump is working hard to remove a cornerstone of our democracy.
Wednesday's events were particularly shocking and upsetting because illegal and unethical conduct has not taken place before in the sacred halls of Congress - especially by elected representatives.
Not true. Even this piece talks about Sumners caining on the senate floor.
Not worst then what are sitting president did a attack on our democracy
@@nikkimendoza2720 were you replying to me or talking to the air?
God bless America...
Ive never been able to visit our nation's capital because i have cancer now i probably won't ever be able but how could anyone desecrate our nation's most beautiful landmark. These people who did this damage should be thrown out of America! Permantly!
Sadly you won’t be able to see the rest of the once beautiful city of DC either since the statues were toppled, monuments defaced, businesses looted, burned, & destroyed by ANTIFA and BLM. Such desecration!
I´m Austrian, I visited the Capitol in 1987. I had cancer in 2011 and I fought against and won. Keep on fighting, I hope you will see the Capitol. God has an eye on you.

Nicely done. 🤓
Hello Susan... How are you doing?
Excellent program this morning. Putting January 6th in the context of U.S. history gave my family a sense of hope.
God bless our country
Yes! God bless America!!!
This is all Americans house. Why would anyone not be brought up on charges if it were someone's private house?
Hello Kathy ... How are you doing?
Trump is dammed for ever
They were organized and encouraged by the president!!! They knew no LAW enforcement would mess with them!!! Exactly what happened!!!
Just as ANTIFA & BLM were organized, funded, & supported by the LEFT.
@@bellarose3011 Poor baby.
🇬🇧 I thought the people's house was The White House not The Capitol ?
You are correct but Donald J Traitor's loyalists are not known as scholars. Now some are known as traitors.
Just remember the most patriotic thing you can do is question authority
I wish all news/reporting was like Sunday Morning.
Hello, Humans.
"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."-Warren Buffett
TERRANCE OUT
I greatly appreciate this positive history of the Capitol! It may be a symbol but it means something to every American (except the terrorists!). It really brought tears to my eyes.
Our Capital and Democracy is still standing strong. Thank God.
You're still my hero! ❤
"Free and Fair Elections: My Vote Matters!" How can voters get evidence that their ballot was received and counted; especially by mail-in or absentee votes? Why is the process of mail-in and absentee votes not the same for every state? Why is voter-suppression legal in some states? To heal America, these questions should be addressed as soon as possible.
It is not the same in every state because the process of how voting is done is governed by the state, not the federal government. Many states provide the ability to track your vote and to see its progress. If your state doesn't do that, then ask your representatives in the state government to provide that access.
As for voter suppression, ask the republicans.
In Michigan you can track when your ballot got sent out from Lansing and see when it got recieved by your local board of elections. It is super convenient just like tracking an Amazon package.
A city on a hill cannot be hidden
God Bless America!!!!
Sad and, yet so tragic !😔💔🇺🇲
“The State of the Union” , currently, is in peril. “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work ...to the great task remaining before us...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government Of the People, For the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Our government hasn't been of, by or for the people for decades. It's been for the rich, those on welfare and illegals. The working men and women footing the bill get higher taxes and less freedom and representation.
@@danieldylan1273 i accidentally left out“By the People”... likely Freudian
Many of the protesters were chanting "HANG MIKE PENCE" - Is this patriotic?
In their LEFTIST mind - Yes it is.
It is a beautiful building practically a national treasure
The guards just have a decorative function, when they are around.
Exactly; I think the Capitol police are like museum security...and they politely kept an eye on our Massachusetts Girl Scout Troop when we visited in 1972. I was 11......and the Capitol was/is (& I use the word sparingly): awesome.
What's the very last image? The one that looks like the sun?
Indeed Indore.
Lots of hate up in here! CBS should be proud of this outstanding achievement.
The original building was a Royal Navy officers accommodation.

Prosecute all who were involved. No choice. It must be done, if not you will see it again.
You mean like the prosecution of ANTIFA & BLM? Oh that’s right - maybe that’s why we keep seeing them again and again.
@@bellarose3011 Poor baby, BLM did not attack the US Capitol, and antifa does not exist. Are you so stubborn, or just dim-witted to compare the two situations? Log out of Parler and join us sane folks.
I wonder if it will all be the same...you can’t uncross that line. Very unsettling.
Lord have mercy!
Our city hall is patterned after the US Capitol with a similar dome that is 42 feet taller.
I cant wait to see the movies on this.
Did you know Mad King George also lived in The White House? No not our White House, his was first. Our founding father's had a wicked sense of humor.
I believe it became the White House only after it has been repaired and repainted white after damage from the British troops in 1814.
@@arctic_haze Thank you Arctic Haze! It was named by Teddy Roosevelt in 1901. It is just an ironic coincidence that the King we rebelled against spent most his ill fated later years in "The White House"
‘Amongst the most architectural . . . . Significant buildings in the world’ Er, it’s a complete copy of building styles that were existent in Europe when America was still a native land. The `Romans built larger domes 2000 years ago. The building is a pastiche. It’s significance is what it represents - it’s architecture is not significant.
"It's" is a contraction for "it is." The possessive pronoun is "its."
If you remove the contraction and use both words, ask yourself if "it is significance" makes sense in the context of the remark.
How many did they break???
This is where we pay respect for past president and dignitary so sad We love this place with all Hearts 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I’m just sad...😟
The builder is the one that decided to continue and he did it without pay. Lincoln gets too much credit here.
I love history and remembering and respecting the past generations. I was more horrified by the disrespectfulness of the riots to this monument that is so important to America and its history.
As opposed to al the other monuments, historic sites, and statues destroyed throughout 2020???
I had no idea it was a symbol of democracy for the world.
I must tell the Philippines
