eastern here on msnbc. our coverage continues right now with katy tur reports good to be with you. i m katy tur. tomorrow marks the three-year anniversary of the january 6th. in just a few minutes, president biden will give his first 2024 campaign speech marking that day, and warning americans the threat of that day still hangs over them. but what was the threat of that day? because in the years since january 6th, 2021, perceptions among some, especially republicans, have shifted. that trump wasn t responsible, that the fbi was really behind it, that it was no big deal or not that big of a deal. here s the thing, even in the best of circumstances, memory is fallible, time warps and shades it and in the world we live in, bad actors and disinformation corrupt it. let s go back for a moment to those moments to what they were really like in realtime. here s a small portion of our broadcast on that day as the capitol was breached. we re getting a report from our producer
day before january 6th, a day forever served by our memory, it was on that day that we nearly lost america, lost it all. today we re here to answer the most important of questions, is democracy still america s sacred cause? i mean it. this is not rhetorical, academic or hypothetical, whether democracy is still america s sacred cause is the most urgent question of tour im, and it s what the 2024 election is all about. the choice is clear. donald trump s campaign is about him. not america. not you. donald trump s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. he s willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power. our campaign is different. for me and kamala, our campaign is about america, it s about you. it s about every age and
