>> they were looking for something that is to represent our form of democracy. >> reporter: 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 18th, 1793. according to newspaper accounts, at the southeast corner of the building, congress began meeting there in 1800, built by en dentured servants in enslaved people, it wouldn't be finished in 1826, in part because the british burned it in august of 1314, during the war of 1812. >> we have burned the parliament house and the governor's house, so they were just basically coming back and returning the favor. >> reporter: bill allen is history emeritus for the architect of the capitol. >> the senate is a stage, the house is a stage, outside the capitol is a stage, the whole building is a stage. and upon these various stages, the trauma of our country played out. some of it is petty, some of it is noble, some of it is funny, some of it is sad. >> reporter: by the 1850s, the building had to be expanded. when abraham lincoln was inaugurated, the new dome was still under construction. in spite of criticism, lincoln kept building during the civil war, saying if people see the capitol going on, it is a sign that the union shall go on. the back drop for inaugurations since andrew jackson, the capitol has been under construction, or reconstruction, almost constantly. have you encountered any surprises? >> one big surprise: we can't find the original cornerstone. yes. it is laid by george washington. we have done investigations, but we don't know the exact location. >> reporter: nearly a million square feet, 600 plus rooms, miles of corridors, arches everywhere, the capitol is meant to impress. do you have a favorite place in the building? >> statuary hall. >> reporter: why? >> you have statues that are commissioned, and you get to feel who the states feel represented them, and it is the location of the original house. and on the floor are placards of where the famous house members, such as abraham lincoln, where their desks were. >> reporter: it was in statuary hall that supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg lay in state on the catafalque for lincoln's casket. lincoln himself lay in the rotunda. only 38 americans have been granted what is seen as the nation's highest honor in death. among them, former presidents, unknown soldiers, eminent members of congress, religious and civil rights leaders. the two capitol policemen killed here in 1998 by a crazed gunman. so hallowed ground, defiled on wednesday, but not for the first time. >> the capitol has always been a magnet for people wishing to air grievances. >> reporter: in 1835, somebody tried to assassinate president andrew jackson as he left the building. in 1856 a pro slavery from south carolina just about killed someone. in 1954, puerto rican nationalists shot up the house of representatives, wounding five. there have been bombings, and, of course, on 9/11 the fourth plane, the one passengers forced down in shanksville, pennsylvania, was headed for the capitol. before covid, before wednesday's attack, an estimated three to five million people visited the capitol each year. a fence went up around it on thursday. for the time being, shutting the doors of the people's house to the people, but only for the time being. >> if you think about it, the capitol is a very resilient structure. it has been built, it has been burnt, it has been rebuilt, it has been expanded, it has been restored, and all of that is the monument for the american people and our form for representing the public. it has stood the test of time. mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz... a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. we like clockwork.ht. do it! run your dishwasher with cascade platinum. and save water. did you know certified dishwashers... ...use less than four gallons per cycle, while a running sink uses that, every two minutes. so, do it with cascade. the surprising way to save water. removes ten years of yellow stains. optic white renewal that's like all the way back to 2010. they're jeans. they're leggings. they're jeggings! whoa. remove ten years of yellow stains with colgate optic white renewal. >> pauley: how could a mob successfully attack the united states capitol in the first place? what explains such a security failure. david martin is on the case. >> reporter: an angry mob running rough shot and unchecked through the capitol and to the floor of the united states senate. a scene as unthinkable as airplanes crashing into buildings. >> they could have blown the building up and killed us all and destroyed the government. we dodged a major bullet yesterday. >> reporter: the barriers erected and manned by the capitol police were little more than speed bumps to the angry mob. >> they had these pathetic barricades up beforehand. they should have had more robust capabilities well in advance of january 6th. >> reporter: michael chertoff says the capitol police bear primary responsibility. >> this is a real dereliction by the capitol police. >> reporter: but it doesn't explain this statement by robert conte. >> there was no intelligence that suggested there would be a breach of the u.s. capitol. >> reporter: in fact, social media was full of "storm the capitol rhetoric," including a tweet from president trump predicting it would be wild. and then there was the rally outside the white house where the president and his ally, rudy giuliani, riled up the crowd. >> you knew there was a serious possibility o of an attack. let's go wild and bring your guns. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out this suggests a series threat to the capitol. whether they underestimated the threat or because they were trump supporter that they weren't going to be a problem, that was a serious error. >> if it is black lives matter, there is a real threat of violence here. but if it is almost all white trump supporters, no problem? >> certainly that is a legitimate question to ask. they need to ask questions about whether there was conscious or unconscious bias, or even some political spin for some of the people in the capitol police. >> democratic congressman james clyburn offered a more sinister explanation. >> somebody on the inside of those buildings were complicit in this. >> reporter: the need for answers is urgent. there are already social media calls for more attacks surrounding the inauguration. the president is vowing we will not be silenced. and one of his supporters warned, many of us will return on january 19th, carrying our weapons. >> i'm afraid we're going to see some very scary activity over the next weeks and months. still your best friend. and now your co-pilot. still a father. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. >> pauley: it turns out the ugly and violent events at the capitol this past week echo ugly and violent chapters of america's past. we have thoughts to "new yrk times" columnist charles blow, who's new book is called "the devil you know." >> there are precedents on the way white supremacists respond when that perceived supremacy is threatened. at the end of the civil war several southern states were majority black, and others were in striking distance of being majority black. then the radification of the 15th amendment gave black men the right to vote, which, in turn, made some of the electorates majority black. this was a serious threat to absolute white power. so white supremacists banded together in mississippi and formed the red shirts. a group of vigilantes who used pressure, intimidation, and violence to prevent black people from voting. what they couldn't achieve nunum mernumerically at the bal, they would achieve physically. after their success, mississippi called the constitutional convention in 1890 to severely restrict black suffrage and right white supremacy into the d.n.a. of the states. state after state across the south followed the mississippi example, establishing jim crowe as the code of the region for more than 60 years. i came do know these facts academically as a scholarship, but i couldn't fathom living through such a period, that was until this election, which provided a modicum of similarity to that period. donald trump tried to intimidate voters before and during the election, and then sought to erase legal ballots after they were cast. he attacked large cities in swing states, those with a large percentage of black people, as corrupt. and with his legal challenges expired, his efforts culminated in a deadly insurrection in washington, his loyalists exploding in support of his attempted coup. make no mistake, the red hats marauding through the capitol were a throwback to the red shirts terrorizing the southern county side. as my friend 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 also reflectively be rattled, whether in the 19th century or the 21st. >> pauley: we like to think people around the world look to the united states as a model of democracy. here is seth doane with a sampling of what they're seeing and saying. saying now.[speaking foreign language][speaking foreign language] >> reporter: translating and interpreting those events unfolding on capitol hill took place in realtime on television programs around the world. in india, reporter smita sharma said she almost mistook the scenes for some fictional tv series. >> it looked like i was watching a mismatch of homeland season 9 with survival. >> reporter: you couldn't believe what you were seeing? >> it was difficult to believe. >> reporter: a country of more than 1.3 billion people, india has an interest in this story: it is the world's most populous democracy. >> at the end of the day, we still look up to america for at least being the leader of the democratic principles. if it is weakened internally, then a lot of other countries will find it more justified to carry on and move away from democratic principles. >> for us, it is very easy to understand a politician who does not recognize losing. >> reporter: anna is a journalist in mexico, a country who's populous president has not publicly condemned the assault on capitol hill. >> what is not easy to understand is the enabler, having senators questioning these results, and having so many americans speaking about fraud. >> it broke the image that people have of a kind of picture-perfect washington, and all of the rituals that unfold with military pro session. >> reporter: author of twilight of democracy, was watching near her home in poland. >> all of us are used to seeing demonstrations on the million. what was different about this demonstration, if you could call it about, is that it was a demonstration against american democracy. >> reporter: her new book looks at democratic trends, sometimes fueled by conspiracy theories, and the lure of nationalism, populism, and authoritarianism. >> one way that they use photographs of america is to try to shore up their own regime. >> reporter: the message from authoritarian states say look at democracy, this is just too messy? >> yes. putin and xi tell their people, you don't want to live in democracy. democracies are chaotic.[speakin language] >> reporter: what happened in washington really showed there are some problems with democracy, and it is showing weakness, said hu hu xijin. you have penned and released stinging editorials and that the global times has really jumped on this story, why?[spean language] >> reporter: are the words too harsh, hu asked. can you give me an example? >> in one editorial, you say capitol mob represents an internal collapse of the u.s. political systems. that's pretty harsh. >> i do not think america is collapsing, he said, but the capitol hill incident has shown collapse within the u.s. political system. this headline in the kenyan paper taunts, "who is the banana republic now." and they say the democratic world should be setting an example in other countries who are pushing for basic rights. >> the right to vote, the right to have a judge and a court that is independent from politics -- all of those things we take for granted and they worked so hard for, may become harder to obtain. >> reporter: has the u.s. become less trustworthy than before? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: leah serves on the foreign affairs committee. >> they reacted to preserve rule of law, democracy, will of the people. >> reporter: she was encouraged to see the u.s. congress get right back to work that same night. demonstrating that in a democracy, it is the institution itself that yields the most power. >> in democracy, things can go wrong. sometimes they go badly wrong, but they can be correctly, which is something that never happens in any other parts of the world that is not a democracy. make its own insulin. n still and trulicity activates my body to release it, lowering my blood sugar from the first dose. once-weekly trulicity responds when my body needs it, 24/7. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include indigestion, fatigue, belly pain, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting which can lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. i♪ pour some almond breeze. ♪ for the maestros of the creamiest-ever, ♪ ♪ must-have smoothies. ♪ ♪ it's irresistibly delicious.♪ ♪ more almond breeze, please! ♪ especially for guys who tend to get razor bumps with ordinary razors. but now there's gillette skinguard. it flattens the skin and lifts the blades for a shave that's close, but not too close for comfort. we do things differently and aother money managers, don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide?

>> yeah. lame-duck, i gather, goes back to a time when there were british businessmen who had become bankrupt. it then got attached to politicians who weren't going to be in office very long. >> reporter: the lame-duck label was used here to describe outgoing president calvin coolidge. but as presidential historian charles goodwin points out, a lame-duck still has wings. >> they still have every power they ever had before. >> reporter: 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 transmission of power. it has been the hallmark of our democracy since george washington. >> reporter: to many people, the 78 days between feel more like 78 years, which raises the question: why is this period 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, d.c., and that purpose seems to be less necessary today, given modern transportation. >> reporter: but 2020 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, before president james buchanan vacated the premisesment. >> i can't imagine what it was like during the ped of time between buchanan and lincoln. lincoln is elected president, and within a matter of weeks after that, seven states secede from the union. >> reporter: during the depression, as franklin delano roosevelt waited to take the reins, the country itself was on life support. >> it is hard to imagine. franklin d. roosevelt really did not know in january, february, ad march, whether the government could collapse before he even had a chance to put his own programs into use. >> reporter: hoover had suffered a humiliating defeat. what was that ride to the capitol like on inauguration day in 1933? >> from all accounts, the ride between hoover and roosevelt was very frosty, as they say. >> reporter: but hoover did ride in the car? >> absolutely. it may not have been the most friendly of transitions, but they were riding together. >> reporter: and that ride is one of the transitions we come to expect. those rituals, few are mandated by law. they're not in the constitution, no concession speech, no congratulatory call. >> absolutely. these were just traditions that developed. when you think about it, the word "transition period" conjures up something bureaucratic. >> thank you very much. >> but it is really something more than that. >> i just called governor clinton over in little rock and offered my congratulations. >> reporter: goodwin says the concession speech has long been a vital step in consoling supporters. >> i can't stand here tonight and say it doesn't hurt. >> reporter: in helping them to move on. >> the people of the united states have made their choice, and, of course, i accept that decision, but i have to admit not with the same enthusiasm i accepted the decision four years ago. >> these people are filled with emotion, and he has to take them from that moment to the next moment of acceptance, and there are supporters all over the country that have to make that same transition. >> reporter: typically during this time, the outgoing president hosts the incoming one. >> that is part of the healing. the outgoing president invites the family of the new president to come in and tour the mansion. it is going to be the hall of the new person. all of those moments, those are visual and emotional signs to the country at large, to the supporters who are disappointed, who lost the election, to the new people coming in, that they're not going to gloat because these to people are able to get together, and then we can, too. >> president trump: we were getting ready to win this election. frankly, we did win this election. >> reporter: this presidential transition period has been bereft of all of these rituals. for only the fifth time in american history, the outgoing chief executive won't attend his successor's inauguration. >> people will look at this period with very troubled eyes. and i think it is a real loss for him, for his legacy, and for the country, most importantly. ♪ ♪ digital transformation has failed to take off. because it hasn't removed the endless mundane work we all hate. ♪ ♪ automation can solve that by taking on repetitive tasks for us. unleash your potential. uipath. reboot work. >> pauley: could the political chaos we just witnessed possibly become a learning experience for kids? a question rita braver is putting to the leading children's publisher now marking its 100th anniversary. >> with the horror of what happened at the u.s. capitol this past week still sinking in, there is an important question: how to explain it to america's children? >> kids want to understand it. the capitol is a symbol that is very important to them. >> reporter: and so dick robinson, president and c.e.o. of scholastic, says his editors immediately started posting stories for students on the websites of scholastic magazines. >> in fourth grade, they will explain it one way. eighth grade will explain it another way. >> reporter: in fact, scholastic, the largest publisher of children's magazines and books in the world, is just marking its 100th anniversary of helping children make sense of things. >> our real personality is being in the lives of kids in school, helping them learn millions and millions of things. >> reporter: he is only, incredibly, the second person to lead the country in its 100-year history. the first was his dad, robbie robinson, you started publishing a current events magazine for students near his home just outside pittsburgh. >> magazines were becoming the mass med jum o medium of the time. and he saw the enrollment post-world war i was going up just like that. >> reporter: as i understand it, when your father started, he actually worked out of his mother's sewing room? >> yes, he did. >> reporter: but within two years, the scholastic was being shipped all across the country. >> this one is the very first issue, which shows a female hur hurdler, which was very forward at the time. there were 1,000 schools at the beginning and then it got to be 5,000 schools and then 10,000 schools, but it took a long time to build this. >> reporter: teachers were soon asking for a variety of magazines, geared to different ages. now there are more than 30, available in print and online, a kid's eye view of american culture and history, and they have always covered difficult, and even controversial, topics. this was 1948, still the era of segregation. >> during brotherhood week, we had an african-american young man, with two other white yung men, which led to the banning of scholastic in several southern states. >> reporter: and robinson says classic has already heard from parents who say the attack on the capitol should not be discussed in the classroom. >> but we don't hold back from that. it's our role to make sure that we do address these important questions. >> reporter: scholastic has a proud history. in 1923, at the suggestion of teachers and principals, the company began giving art and writing awards to promising high school students, a list that includes many who would become bold-faced names, and islami scholastic has anothr impressive roster: harry potter, the hunger games -- >> faster than a speeding waistband. >> reporter: -- captain underpants, all based on books published by scholastic. the company got into the book business back in the 1940s. it is a book-lovers paradise? >> yeah. these are all of the books we published in the last three years. >> reporter: just three years here? >> and each color tells me which year it is. >> reporter: deimosa webber-bey is scholastic's senior librarian. have you figured out how many books has been published?
