Two years ago, Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd shot unarmed Ashley Babbitt during the January 6th events. Byrd had a history of firearm negligence but faced no consequences for the shooting. Instead, he was celebrated, while Babbitt's mother was arrested for holding a memorial for her daughter. The narrative surrounding January 6th has been manipulated, leading to false claims, such as the deaths of five police officers, which are untrue. Officer Brian Sicknick, initially reported to have died from violence, actually suffered a stroke later. Key events, like the pipe bomb incident and the role of Ray Epps, have been obscured, raising questions about federal agency involvement. Despite evidence of orchestrated actions, Epps faced no charges, highlighting inconsistencies in the official narrative surrounding that day.

Speaker 0: An anniversary. 2 years ago today, a Capitol Hill police officer called Michael Byrd shot an unarmed woman in the neck. At the time of that killing, Byrd had a documented history of gross negligence with a firearm. He left a loaded Glock pistol in a public men's room at the capitol which for a law enforcement official is a firing offense. But for some reason, Michael Bird was still in the force that day.
Woman he killed was called Ashley Babbitt. Babbitt was a married 14 year veteran of the US military. She ran a pool cleaning company with her husband in San Diego. Physically, she was tiny. She was also unarmed.
Michael Byrd later admitted he had no indication at all that Babbitt was carrying a weapon. She posed no visible threat. He killed her anyway. Under normal circumstances, Byrd would have been fired immediately and charged with murder, which he clearly committed. But that's not what happened.
After doing essentially no investigation into the shooting, Nancy Pelosi's congressional police force declared Byrd a national hero and the media strongly agreed. Byrd went on television to accept accolades and to complain about racism. He was never punished for killing Ashley Babbitt. He was rewarded for it. Ashley Babbitt's mother meanwhile got a very different sort of treatment.
Babbitt's mother was arrested today in Washington by the Capitol Police. Her crime trying to hold a memorial service for her daughter. 2 years later, it's clear that Ashley Babbitt is her death is by far the most significant thing that happened at the US Capitol building that day. But at the same time, it is the least talked about event of January 6th. Why is that?
Well, because the facts about what actually happened on January 6th disrupt the lies. What they told you happened on January 6th. And those lies have proven very useful to the Biden administration and to permanent Washington. On the basis of a wholly created myth about what happened that day, the Biden Pentagon conducted an unprecedented political purge of the entire US military. The FBI and various intel agencies increased their control over the American media.
And most obviously, the DOJ has been allowed to prosecute and jail hundreds of nonviolent political protesters whose crime was having the wrong opinions. Lies about January 6 which have been relentless have enabled some of the most unscrupulous people in our country to make a mockery of our bill of rights and to steal our core freedoms. So they can't talk about Ashley Babbitt. Talking about Ashley Babbitt makes it very clear who the real culprits are and who the real threats to this country continue to be. And they're not the January 6th protesters.
So instead they lie about what happened that day and they do it in the boldest possible ways without shame and with maximum aggression. Here's Hakeem Jeffries leader of the Democrats in the house telling you that 5 police officers were killed on January 6th when in fact the real total is 0.
Speaker 1: We are gathered here to honor their memory and acknowledge with deep gratitude the tremendous bravery of the hundreds of officers who defended us at this citadel of democracy, that faithful day. As a result of the events, on January 6th, the lives of 5 heroic officers were lost.
Speaker 0: Five heroic officers were lost. He said, it's almost impossible to believe that adults could stand behind him as he said that because everyone in the picture you just saw knows that is not true. It's not a stilted interpretation of events. It's a flat out lie. No police officers were killed on January 6th period.
Ashley Babbitt was killed on January 6th. But chances are your grandchildren will not know that because history will likely record the lie you just heard as true simply because it's been repeated so often everyone in authority has said the same thing in unison for 2 solid years. As our thoroughly dishonest attorney general recently put a quote, we will never forget the 5 officers who responded selflessly on January 6th, who do have and who have since lost their lives. His boss, Joe Biden, repeated that lie today from the White House.
Speaker 2: These people and the people representing those who couldn't be here because they gave their lives for this did is incredibly consequential. Because that's not political talk. That's historical fact.
Speaker 0: That's historical fact, says Joe Biden as he manufactures history as he tells lies. They've been doing this telling these same lies since the very first day January 6, 2021. Almost like it was a coordinated operation. Remember when they told you that Brian Sicknick, officer Brian Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher?
Speaker 3: Officer Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. Officer Brian Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the hours long attack. They beat a capitol police officer to death with a fire extinguisher.
Speaker 0: Officer Brian Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the fight.
Speaker 2: He died at the age of 42 after he was bludgeoned, the fire extinguisher.
Speaker 0: That's not true. And in the end, thanks to the medical examiner in the District of Columbia, we learned the fact, which is that Brian Sicknick died of a stroke well after the January 6th protest. He was not beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, but that did not stop their lying or even slow them down. Joe Biden just awarded one of this country's highest civilian honors the presidential citizens medal to officers working on January 6 and that would include the officers who opened the doors of the capitol building to the so called Insurrectionist the officers who let them inside and then were rewarded for it by the president of the United States. What's going on here?
You may wonder well don't ask you're not allowed to know what's going on here nor can you know about the very obvious clandestine role of federal agencies that encouraged the events of January 6th that happened, but its details have never been explained. A lot has still not been explained from that day despite a committee that was impaneled for more than a year. For example, you remember the pipe bomber who planted explosives outside the Democratic National Committee? Well those explosives it turns out were under a bench at the same moment that Kamala Harris who had secret service protection with her who swept the building was there. So how did the US Secret Service miss a bomb sitting in plain sight during its security sweep?
Well, we can't answer that because the FBI still to this day refuses to release all the security footage. Why? What's going on here? Almost unique among media outlets, Revolver News asked that question.
Speaker 4: The pipe bomber even looks at camera to head on for some reason. It's very frustrating because we can't see the moment the pipe bomber plants the pipe bomb, but the FBI can. That's because the whole scene should be captured on camera 1 as well and much more clearly than camera 2. Camera 1 has a clear shot of both benches. If the FBI released the full tape from camera 1, we could see the pipe bomber planting the bomb.
Speaker 0: So somebody planted bombs outside the headquarters of this country's 2 main political parties. That would seem to be a big story and yet no one ever mentions it again, including the FBI. In fact, the bureau won't disclose any information about the suspect. Not his height, weight, shoe size, anything. So if they wanted to catch this person wouldn't they be telling you all they can about who it is?
But they're not. Why aren't they? And what was Kamala Harris doing there? Why did she lie about being there? We can answer those questions.
We should be able to nor does anyone in authority want to talk about Ray Epps. Ray Epps, of course, is the man who was caught on tape encouraging the crowd outside the Capitol both on January 5th 6th to commit felonies by rushing inside. Now what's interesting is that the January 6th committee under public pressure did in the end interview Ray Epps. Now we don't have all of the committee's records about that interview. We should but we don't but some have been released and what they tell is a remarkable story.
In the testimony that we have the committee coaches Ray Epps on how to answer questions about his involvement quote. I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it. I helped get people there. End quote.
Now Epps admitted that in a text message to a relative on January 6th. He's admitting crimes. He's never been even charged for those crimes. But what's so fascinating is it when those facts came up in his interview with the committee, someone on the committee responds this way and we're quoting. I just want to understand a little more your use of the word orchestrated.
It sounds to me like at this point when you sent this text you had turned away in part because of seeing some things you didn't agree with is that right? Like when you sent this you are already on your way from the capitol because it concerns of people taking it in a different direction. Is that the most leading question ever asked in the history of a congressional hearing? Probably. And the whole interview goes on like this.
Keep in mind, Raheb's is one of the only people caught on camera that day encouraging others to break the law. He's one of the only ones. And then he's never been charged.

Title: Unveiling New Insights: Challenging Narratives and Shedding Light on the Events of January 6
Introduction:
The events that transpired on January 6 at the US Capitol continue to captivate the nation's attention. Recent analysis of Capitol Hill security footage has brought forth a series of revelations that challenge key narratives surrounding that fateful day. This comprehensive overview aims to delve into these new findings, providing a deeper understanding of the incidents involving individuals like Pink Beret, Officer Brian Sicknick, the Oath Keepers, and the tragic deaths of Rosanne Boyland and Benjamin Philips.
Unraveling the Pink Beret's Alleged Role:
One of the most intriguing discoveries from the newly analyzed security footage is the presence of an individual known as Pink Beret. This person allegedly played a pivotal role in luring a defendant into the Capitol. The footage provides a clear visual account of their actions, raising questions about their motives and potential involvement in the events that unfolded.
The Tragic Deaths of Rosanne Boyland and Benjamin Philips:
The footage also sheds light on the tragic deaths of Rosanne Boyland and Benjamin Philips. Amidst the chaos and clashes between protesters and officers, Mr. Philips fell unconscious. However, efforts to save him were delayed, ultimately leading to his untimely demise. These distressing details highlight the urgency and importance of understanding the sequence of events that unfolded on that day, ensuring a comprehensive examination of the circumstances surrounding these tragic losses.
Officer Brian Sicknick and the Oath Keepers:
Another significant aspect illuminated by the security footage is the incidents involving Officer Brian Sicknick and the Oath Keepers. Contrary to previous reports, the footage challenges the initial narrative surrounding Officer Sicknick's cause of death. A more comprehensive understanding of the events is crucial to accurately determine the circumstances that led to his tragic passing. Additionally, the footage provides valuable insights into the actions and movements of the Oath Keepers, shedding light on their role during the events of January 6.
The Turmoil and Police Response:
The chaos that unfolded on January 6 cannot be overlooked. Protesters clashed with officers, projectiles were thrown, and chemical munitions were deployed. Amidst this turmoil, police aggressively cleared the Capitol, pushing protesters out. Tactical teams meticulously swept the upper floors, ensuring no one was left behind. The Jan 6 Tapes and Capitol Hill security footage offer a comprehensive visual account of these events, providing a clearer understanding of the intensity and scale of the situation.
Conclusion:
The newly analyzed Capitol Hill security footage has unveiled a series of revelations that challenge previous narratives surrounding the events of January 6. From the alleged actions of Pink Beret to the tragic deaths of Rosanne Boyland and Benjamin Philips, and the incidents involving Officer Brian Sicknick and the Oath Keepers, these findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive understanding of the events that unfolded on that day. By examining these new insights, we can strive for a more accurate and nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in our nation's history.

Who is Pink Beret? Bystanders in the huge crowds at the US Capitol on #Jan6 couldn't help but notice the young woman with the stylish clothes, high heels, Dolce & Gabbana handbag, and a pink beret perched on her head. She became known on social media by the hashtag #PinkBeret.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
#PinkBeret was in the crowd that watched the first breach of police lines near the Peace Fountain on the Capitol's west front at about 12:50 p.m. #Jan6 defendant Darrell Neely told a federal court in his criminal trial that Pink Beret lured him into the Capitol Visitor Center and tried to saddle him with a bag full of police gear she picked up off the floor. "It is clear Pink Beret was on a mission to get to the Capitol as quickly as possible and to be one of the first to get there," Neely's attorney, Kira West, wrote in a court filing. "We know this because she ran across grass—in heels." The Epoch Times researched and requested a collection of video clips that document the actions of the woman.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
After more than 2 years, the #FBI put her on its #Jan6 most-wanted page in late April. More than 2 months after she was named in Neely's court filings as a potential defense witness, the FBI identified #PinkBeret as Jennifer Inzunza Vargas Geller.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
On May 9, the #DOJ charged Ms. Geller with 4 #Jan6 misdemeanor counts. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pink-beret-husband-charged-with-jan-6-crimes-at-us-capitol-5404339?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=digitalsub Her case was unusual because the DOJ almost never announces charges against defendants before they are arrested and in custody. Her husband, Spencer Sidney Geller, was charged in July with a felony obstruction count and 4 misdemeanors. As in his wife's case, Mr. Geller's charges were announced when he was not in custody. The Gellers are living in Thailand with their 10-month-old daughter. So far, the #FBI has not made moves to arrest the pair and extradite them back to the US to face trial.

Officer Brian Sicknick Some of the most dramatic CCTV footage acquired by The Epoch Times showed the disabling of Capitol Police Officer #BrianSicknick, who died the day after the Capitol protest and riots of #Jan6. Mr. Sicknick died late on Jan. 7, 2021. His cause of death was two strokes. It was ruled a natural death by the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Federal prosecutors charged 2 men with assaulting Mr. Sicknick with pepper spray: Julian Elie Khater, 34, of Somerset, New Jersey, and George P. Tanios, 41, of Morgantown, West Virginia.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
The video shows that just after 2:20 p.m., Mr. Sicknick and 2 MPD officers charged out into the crowd of rioters, who had been pulling over security barriers with a thick freight strap. In the center, however, an MPD commander fired numerous bursts of pepper spray from a high-velocity tank that snaked 20 feet or more into the crowd, the video shows. Both the stream of pepper spray and a plume of cast-off caused by stiff winds passed near the left side of Sicknick’s face, the video shows. Mr. Sicknick quickly retreated from the scene, just ahead of a rioter who charged at him and an MPD officer. He rinsed out his eyes near the inauguration scaffolding, then climbed the southwest steps to the upper terrace. He remained on duty but collapsed at about 10 p.m. after officers noticed him slurring his speech.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
Mr. Khater was sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison on a plea deal for assault with a deadly weapon and other charges. Although he was initially charged with 12 criminal counts, Mr. Tanios pleaded guilty to 2 misdemeanors and was sentenced to time served, 1 year of probation, and a $1,800 fine. Mr. Khater's father and Mr. Tanios said they never saw the video before being shown the footage by The Epoch Times. “They [expletive] withheld this. Big time. Oh, my God. My God,” Mr. Tanios told The Epoch Times while watching the footage. Mr. Tanios said he believes the video should have been disclosed to his and Mr. Khater's defense teams as exculpatory evidence.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
Elie Khater, Julian Khater's father, said the video is another example of the system being tipped against defendants. https://www.givesendgo.com/savejuliankhater "Since it is in Washington D.C., everything is stacked against the January sixers," Khater told The Epoch Times. "From the very beginning, they took this story and they just exaggerated, messed with the facts, lied about a lot of other things. We figured everything is stacked against us." Mr. Khater estimated he has amassed nearly $450,000 in legal fees defending his son in criminal and civil court. He said he is nearly out of resources to pay a civil attorney to represent his son in a $30 million wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Sandra Garza, Mr. Sicknick's former girlfriend, against President Trump, Mr. Tanios, and Mr. Khater.

@NYTimes published a 2021 story claiming Trump supporters smashed Sicknick's head with a fire extinguisher, causing his death. That claim was eventually retracted but is still repeated 30 months after Sicknick's death.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
The next claim was that his death was caused by a potent bear spray wielded by Khater and Tanios. While Tanios said he had bear spray canisters in his backpack in the event the men were attacked by #Antifa, the spray was never used. Khater had a Mace Brand KeyGuard pepper spray canister he received from Tanios on the evening of Jan. 5. The pocket-size flip-top device was used to spray the officers, according to prosecutors. The manufacturer says the canister emits a thin stream of pepper spray up to 10 feet. Tanios said he did not realize that Khater had used the Mace canister until months after #Jan6.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
Oath Keepers When 5 #OathKeepers defendants went on trial in September 2022 for alleged seditious conspiracy to attack the Capitol on #Jan6, a key piece of prosecution evidence was an alleged 3-way phone call initiated by Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III. Prosecutors alleged Rhodes spoke with Florida Oath Keepers leader Kelly Meggs and Jan. 6 operations director Michael “Whip” Greene with instructions to attack the Capitol. Defense attorneys argued the call never happened, and the communications Rhodes attempted that afternoon were meant to tell the Oath Keepers to get away from the Capitol, not attack it.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
Video discovered by @EpochTimes shows one of the exterior terrace-level cameras was trained on Rhodes while he stood on the Upper Northwest Terrace at the Capitol between 2:51 p.m. and nearly 3:00 p.m. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/exclusive-capitol-surveillance-video-never-shown-to-defense-oath-keepers-founder-says-5444945?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=digitalsub In the video, Rhodes appeared to be attempting cell phone calls but was not having success. It appeared that he was interviewed briefly by a podcaster, then continued trying to make calls, the video shows.
EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Surveillance Video Never Shown to Defense, Oath Keepers Founder Says
Capitol Police captured Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III on a closed-circuit security camera on Jan. 6, 2021—video that Mr. Rhodes says was never provided to him or his defense team before...
theepochtimes.com
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
"I never saw it," Mr. Rhodes told The Epoch Times in a June phone interview from jail, referring to the nine minutes of CCTV video. Mr. Rhodes said the idea that he was being surveilled is "really creepy." Mr. Rhodes and Ms. SoRelle appeared on the left side of the camera view at 2:51:36 p.m., the CCTV video shows. The unidentified Oath Keeper followed Mr. Rhodes into the camera view shortly after. The man was likely providing security for Ms. SoRelle, one of Mr. Rhodes's attorneys told The Epoch Times. "I don’t remember seeing this video,” one of Mr. Rhodes’ defense attorneys, Edward Tarpley, told The Epoch Times. “It may have been in discovery, but I certainly didn’t see it. We were given thousands of videos to review. It seems pretty clear to me that someone actually was following Stewart on the ground with the video camera.”
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
The video is significant because it could back up testimony given by Mr. Rhodes in #FBI interviews and in court testimony that he was attempting to get Oath Keepers away from the Capitol, not to attack it. “I was trying to call them, to get them to come to us, to get them to come to me and Whip,” Mr. Rhodes told the FBI in May 2021. “That's all it was. I couldn't get any [expletive] comms.” Mr. Tarpley said he considers the newly revealed security video to be exculpatory evidence that should have been turned over by prosecutors. “The government argued that Stewart‘s messages to everyone to come to the Capitol were his call to action for them to come and attack the Capitol,” Mr. Tarpley said. “Of course, we know that is totally false.” Defense attorney Brad Geyer, who represented Oath Keeper Kenneth Harrelson in the same trial as Mr. Rhodes, said the defense presented evidence that the call never happened. "The defense maintains that no communication occurred between Meggs and Rhodes," Mr. Geyer said. "This video confirms that Rhodes was having operability issues with his phone and it also may suggest that Rhodes was being monitored on January 6 by law enforcement."

Rosanne Boyland The death of #RosanneBoyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, remains one of the biggest tragedies of #Jan6. Ms. Boyland came to Washington to hear President Trump speak at the Ellipse. She made her way to the Capitol and wandered into the Lower West Terrace tunnel just before an unknown gas was released in the crowed tunnel.
@EpochTimes - The Epoch Times
Information uncovered in this video investigation filled in a lot of details on what happened to Ms. Boyland after her lifeless body was pulled into the Capitol just after 4:30 p.m. on #Jan6. The CCTV footage shows that after medics in the Capitol basement tried to resuscitate her, Ms. Boyland was moved up one level and carted through the Crypt to meet D.C. Fire and EMS Department paramedics near the House Wing Door.

Dramatic resuscitation efforts continued near the House Wing Door for another 40 minutes before Ms. Boyland was placed in an ambulance for transport to George Washington University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The Epoch Times learned from Ms. Boyland's family that she was shot in the chest by a pepper ball fired by a police officer at the rear of the Lower West Terrace tunnel. The Boyland family was told by witnesses that the pepper ball shot is what caused Ms. Boyland to fall and become trapped by the stampeding crowd.

One of Ms. Boyland's sisters noticed a large, dark bruise on her left shoulder in a Getty Images photograph run with a July 24 Epoch Times article on Ms. Boyland's case. No shoulder injuries were documented in the emergency room notes or in the autopsy done by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Nor was the head wound above Ms. Boyland's right eye documented. That injury was possibly sustained when a Metropolitan Police Department Officer beat an unresponsive Ms. Boyland with a wooden walking stick as previously reported by The Epoch Times based on police bodycam footage.

Video from a far-away west dome camera seems to show someone stumbling and collapsing behind the inauguration scaffolding on the Capitol's west front at 12:59:17 p.m. That area of the grounds was breached by protesters at 12:58:52 p.m., shortly after a much larger crowd breached the low iron fence protecting the west plaza. Overhead security video shows the first munitions used on the huge crowd were deployed at 1:10 p.m. on the south end of the west plaza.

"I got a crowd fighting with officers, pushing, throwing projectiles," Deputy Chief Eric Waldow broadcast at 1:06 p.m. "I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the less-than-lethal team positioned above me to identify the agitators and start deploying. Launch, launch, launch!" The first munitions were not deployed until 1:10 p.m. The first closeup video of Mr. Philips begins at 1:02:51 p.m. when the U.S. Capitol Police Command Center trained one of its security cameras on the area where he fell. Bystanders and a Capitol Police officer took turns doing chest compressions. The first call for help went out over the USCP radio at 1:04 p.m., according to Jan. 6 audio recordings obtained by The Epoch Times. “Can you please have someone respond to my location with an AED [automated external defibrillator]? The bottom of the west front with an individual that’s down here, unconscious and not breathing,” a female officer broadcast on the main U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) radio channel. At about 1:15 p.m., an out-of-breath officer announced that the D.C. Fire and EMS Department rescue squad wouldn't come down to the scaffolding where Mr. Philips lay on the sidewalk. “They are bringing the patient up to the ambulance right now,” he shouted on the radio. “They are refusing to come down.” Bystanders and police placed Mr. Philips on a section of a bike rack and carried it like a battlefield stretcher to the ambulance some 100 yards away. He was turned over to paramedics at 1:19 p.m. He was later pronounced dead. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Mr. Philips died from hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. His manner of death was listed by the pathologist, Dr. Fernando Diaz, as "natural."

Sweeping the Capitol After U.S. Air Force veteran #AshliBabbitt, 35, was shot by Capitol Police near the House Chamber at 2:45 p.m., police made aggressive efforts to push all of the protesters out of the Capitol. The Epoch Times obtained CCTV security video showing SWAT teams clearing the Capitol. Officers from Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department formed skirmish lines and pushed groups of protesters toward the exits while chanting, "Move back! Move back! Move back!" A large contingent of police pushed protesters across the Great Rotunda and forced them out through the exits.

At the same time, tactical teams from the @ATFHQ and other federal agencies began sweeping the upper floors of the Capitol to ensure no protesters were left. With rifles raised and SureFire tactical lights illuminating their paths, the tactical teams moved methodically through the building. At one point, an ATF tactical team came around the corner near @SpeakerPelosi's office. A stunned Capitol Police officer in the otherwise empty hallway threw his hands in the air as if to surrender.

Speaker 0: They came from every corner of this nation. Around a 1000000 voices raised, now silenced from prison to the grave. There are American citizens sitting behind bars
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: Who haven't had a trial
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 0: Some of them for 2 years, some of them going on 3 years.
Speaker 3: There are people that we have willing to talk to us right now. They're scared for their life.
Speaker 0: Is it potentially the biggest setup in the history of this country? Potentially. What are they still hiding about January 6th? What don't they want you to know? Take a look at what we've uncovered so far On the rest of the story with Lara Logan.
The last thing Matthew Perna expected after turning himself in for nonviolent offenses and pleading guilty was for the government to try to add years behind bars at the 11th hour, but that's exactly what prosecutors were planning, Only they never got the chance. You had a conversation with the prosecutor. Can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4: Yes. So he says, let me start off by saying that there are many people in my department that felt very bad that Matthew decided to take his life. I said, really? There are many people in your department, including you, who are the reason Matthew took his life. He hanged himself because of the people in your department.
He said, again, I am very sorry for your that your nephew took his life. And I said, I hope that every night before you go to bed, the last thing you think of is the name Matthew Perna and the role you played in his death.
Speaker 0: Matthew Perna's fate was sealed the moment his face appeared on this FBI wanted poster, his aunt said. Suspect number 73 stood out in his red Trump sweatshirt As cameras recorded him inside the capital, roughly 14 minutes, that cost him his business, his reputation, and the woman he planned to marry.
Speaker 4: I just stepped my foot in the tub, and my phone rang. And it was one of my brothers. And I said, Jerry, you need to get a plane ticket and come home. Matt just hang himself in his garage.
Speaker 0: They broke him.
Speaker 4: They completely broke him, and they broke his heart.
Speaker 0: And they knew what they were doing? Yes. What was it about his case that struck you?
Speaker 5: To see somebody That was a victim of our own Department of Justice, and especially somebody as peaceable and caring As Matthew obviously was, shame on anybody that doesn't care how the system abused this poor guy. It it's just too tragic. It we shouldn't have a repeat of that.
Speaker 0: From the start, Matthew saw things that did not fit the official narrative, And later that night, loudly called out those he believed responsible.
Speaker 6: Antifa was disguised as Trump supporters today. Yeah. And they were the ones Who really led the charge into the capitol building?
Speaker 2: We love the police, but a few empty fuck dressed up as Trump supporters Have you're causing violence and stirring up violence here at the Capitol steps, and they're playing on the emotions of you and every patriotic American. This is not right.
Speaker 0: When masked men started smashing windows, protesters objected and stepped in to stop them, Taking out this man first, then tackling another who'd stepped in to finish the job while the crowd Chanted. In this footage from January 6, a plainclothes officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, Badge, briefly visible, was captured talking to a Capitol police officer and told him
Speaker 7: Well, he go undercover his antique in a crowd. So
Speaker 0: Do you believe this was a setup? This was an intel operation?
Speaker 5: These people came to Washington to protest, but the masses had no intention to be involved in any violence at all.
Speaker 0: So you're dodging the question.
Speaker 5: I do think that a lot of what happened was stirred up by the federal government. There were people involved that manipulated them.
Speaker 0: They were framed.
Speaker 5: They were framed.
Speaker 0: 43 year old Marcus Priester grew up a stone's throw away from his friend in one of the 5 small communities that stretch across the Shenango Valley. And for him, the loss was beyond measure.
Speaker 1: I had so much anger in my heart, And I prayed for God to take that anger away. Yeah. I'll I'll never I'll never fill that void.
Speaker 0: Best friend you ever had?
Speaker 1: Best friend I ever had.
Speaker 0: I suppose it's a gift.
Speaker 1: I was blessed To be a part of his life. You know, he had many friends. I was just one of his.
Speaker 0: Summer was just settling in to the Chenango Valley where the forest reaches from western Pennsylvania into When we met up with Marcus Priester, he and Matthew Purna would come here to run the rocky dirt Trails, but also to listen and be still. It was a little more than a year since his best friend had killed himself. And this time he was taking Matthew's friends and family on a pilgrimage of sorts To a clearing deep in the forest where Marcus and Matthew's uncle Ron had scattered some of his ashes and planted a tree in his memory. Wow. This was Matthew Church.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Beautiful. Serenity.
Speaker 0: For Gerry Perna, in some ways, life stopped when Matthew died. But there was one moment as unexpected as it was comforting, when an honor guard from Ohio Stood with them as they said goodbye to Matthew.
Speaker 4: That night of the viewing, there were 2 officers there, And they took turns. We were all confused.
Speaker 0: We were in shock.
Speaker 4: Yeah. We we didn't understand why there was an honor card there. They had an American flag, and they did a flag folding ceremony. And they handed the flag to my brother. And after the funeral, my brother Said to them, I'm grateful that you came, but Matt wasn't in the service.
And they said, Matt was more of a patriot than most every veteran we've ever done a funeral for. That's what they said, and they handed Larry the flag.
Speaker 0: The words carved into the stone of the highest court in the land still read this under law. 4 brothers from Utah are testing that theory. They didn't go to the capital, but like many of those who did, they believe the most Powerful politicians in this nation aren't doing their duty. When we heard 4 brothers better known for blasting their horns than practicing law had weighed in on the 2020 election controversy and were suing congress for failing to investigate charges of fraud. We tracked them down earlier this year In the Rocky Mountain city of Provo, Utah, where they're from, to find out what they were thinking.
Speaker 8: War puts in the power its victor. A regulation does the exact same thing. It puts in a power. It's victor only there's not a loss of life and property.
Speaker 0: Meet Darren Brunson. Of the 4 brothers, believe it or not, he's the quieter one. He's not a lawyer, but he started suing banks years ago, and he's the legal brain behind the Brunson lawsuits. Then there's Loy, also known by his middle name, Arlen. He's the oldest, once ran for local office, Published a pocket constitution with all the founding documents, and at an event, got president Trump to answer his questions on the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 7: Hello, mister Trump. My name is Lloyd Brunson. You've inspired I'm over here on your right.
Speaker 9: Oh, you
Speaker 0: can go That's the one
Speaker 2: I wanna do. That's weird.
Speaker 0: Not to be overlooked, Rawlin Brunson. He's the funny one.
Speaker 8: She's looking at me and she's looking
Speaker 7: at me like this and goes, Alright. I'll take your $300.
Speaker 0: With a quick smile and a lot to say.
Speaker 7: I got my brother-in-law here talking to a gal. You know? And Yeah. My brother Gaynor here. He's wondering what he's gonna be doing next.
Speaker 0: At 60, Gaynor's the baby of the family And the only one who made music his full time career with a professional recording studio and a talent for drums that rivals his lips. In their emergency petition, the Brunson's had argued That lawmakers immunity from prosecution violated the first amendment rights of American citizens. That's because in the first amendment, The founding fathers also guaranteed the freedom to petition for redress of grievances. The Brunson's asserted that meant elected officials We're not immune from the lawsuits of everyday citizens. But over nearly 2 years, every court including the Supreme Court declined to hear their cases.
For anyone but the Brunssons, that would have likely been the end. What's the evidence?
Speaker 2: It's
Speaker 7: not about whether there was enough evidence or not to make to change the outcome. That's not what this case is about, really.
Speaker 0: This is about What is it about, Lauren?
Speaker 7: It's about investigating to make sure that the conclusions are Sound and correct and true.
Speaker 0: Well, I don't believe there was fraud in the election. What if what if they say that?
Speaker 9: Well
Speaker 0: You're putting our democracy at risk, Lloyd.
Speaker 10: What exactly are we putting at risk? What exactly are we threatening?
Speaker 0: Well, you're threatening people's faith in the elections. This election has already been declared The most secure election in history, and there's been hundreds of court cases that have failed. And you are shaking the foundations of this country because if people don't accept the results, it's damaging.
Speaker 8: You know what I say? What? Good. Because your faith should be shaken up. Because if you don't, You're gonna see hell pour upon you like you've never seen before in this country.
We're fast moving in the wrong direction. Yes. We're gonna shake your faith with what is called the truth. Do you wanna see the truth? If you're afraid of the truth, then, yeah, you shouldn't be here.
You should wanna know the truth.
Speaker 0: The Brunssons are really just a band of loyal brothers
Speaker 11: Who
Speaker 0: grew up in a time and a family where defending the constitution was still regarded as a sacred duty, not an act of domestic terror. In front of a studio wall lined with photographs and legendary faces, we took a stroll down memory lane.
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 0: Okay. But what about
Speaker 4: that one up there, the White House?
Speaker 0: What does it say taking a tour at night?
Speaker 12: Oh, yeah. The Secret Service gave us a private tour in the evening, then They took us on a tour of the Oval Office, and this stuff was just us.
Speaker 0: Here are the Brunson Brothers. They performed for that same president In the NBC Christmas special in Washington DC in 1988, Taught Regis how to blow the horn
Speaker 8: first thing you have to do is you have to make make a buzz sound from your list. Like,
Speaker 0: Alright. Great. Great. Led the kickoff classic halftime show at New York Giants Stadium. The music that's all led by the Brunson Brothers.
Their act Drew the attention of the famous and the soon to be things.
Speaker 7: We were playing at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. After the show, we would be there and sign. We had Our albums, and we would sign them, and this young guy came up, and he says, you guys are so great, I wanna you bought an album. He says, could you please sign this? And he And I'm a musician, and I just auditioned for a TV show, and it's looked like it's gonna happen.
And it's called now remember this. It's gonna be called 21 Jump Street. Wow. So what shirt is this? Johnny Depp.
Remember that.
Speaker 0: Are you Trump lovers? Would you be doing this if it wasn't Trump?
Speaker 10: Absolutely. In fact, even in the case we're talking about, it it has nothing to do with Trump.
Speaker 7: That's not what this is about. This is not about the results of an election. This is about, violating their oath of office by not investigating an election. Well, actually. See, we're asking that both sides be removed, not just Democrats, but Republicans as well.
Speaker 0: Many think the Brunson Brothers' legal theories are fanciful, Not grounded in statutory or constitutional law. They were hoping to settle that at the Supreme Court. Rollins' case did make it onto the docket twice, and so did Lloyd's.
Speaker 8: They have an obligation, even under their oath, as supreme court justices, To protect and defend the constitution Where
Speaker 0: is it? They that the remedy to that is that they can remove every member of congress that voted for it and the president and so on and so on. Because over and over and over and over again, the legal opinions are that that supreme court does not have that
Speaker 10: We are hit with that question all the times. They have actually broken a constitutional law. And you're saying, well, what law was that? What's the oath of office? Okay.
So who gets to judge them? When you break your oath of office, when you committed that crime, you are now, Automatically, according to article 3, in the jurisdiction of the
Speaker 2: Judicial.
Speaker 10: Judicial branch, automatically. And they get to judge that.
Speaker 0: Unfortunately for the Brunson brothers, they did not get to make their argument before the Supreme Court justices, As these letters they received from the clerk of the court show, their petition was denied every time, no reason given.
Speaker 8: And you gotta remember, sometimes, when you go to battle, sometimes, you might lose the 1st battle. You might lose the 2nd battle, but you may end up Winning the war.
Speaker 12: I'm just so blown away by these guys.
Speaker 2: Hey, Renee. That's nuts and out there.
Speaker 0: No. Tell me.
Speaker 12: Okay. Well, yeah, these guys I mean, the only way we can have freedom is that people want freedom more than life. And that's the attitude that it took to get what we have. Now, everyone that hasn't really worked for the freedom, Hasn't sacrificed for it. They're the ones 1st in line to sell it.
And so what these guys have done is they've given up their time. They are eating And drinking and sleepingness, and they are praying. And I'm just telling you that I believe they need To be heard, and it's so awesome because now they're being heard, and you're giving them a chance
Speaker 2: to be heard.
Speaker 0: Did undercover agents or Assets for the federal government agitate people to go into the capital and encourage or incite violence. In short, was January 6 a kind of set up, more of a Fed's direction than an insurrection? It was a moment that will live in infamy at an informal stop the steal rally in Washington DC On the eve of January 6th when people in the crowd turned on a 58 year old man with a lot to say. That man was Rex.
Speaker 11: No. I'm gonna put it
Speaker 13: out there. I'm probably gonna go to jail for it.
Speaker 2: Okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capital. Into the capital. No. No.
No. Peaceful. Dead. Dead.
Speaker 0: Take me back to that moment. Take me back to the moment when you looked at Ray Epps and the thought came into your head And you said Ted. Ted. Ted.
Speaker 2: Ted. Ted. Ted.
Speaker 14: Right when he said that, something clicked into my head. I was, like, woah. This is scripted because he said the same exact line word for word
Speaker 0: And that's not natural.
Speaker 14: It's not natural. And he was he kept saying, none of this matters, tomorrow we need to go in to the capitol. Maybe the first time he's being silly or Saying something crazy. But when he said it the 3rd time, word for word, I knew there's a strong possibility this guy's a fed.
Speaker 0: To be clear, Because it's very difficult to prove these things.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 0: Nobody is saying for certain, Ray Epps is A confidential source, he, of course, denies it.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 0: And his attorney denies it. He's taken legal action against people who say it, and he has many cheerleaders in the media.
Speaker 14: Yeah. The New York Times, the January 6th Commission, Liz Cheney.
Speaker 0: 60 minutes.
Speaker 14: What? 60 minutes?
Speaker 0: Then when things were dying down, shortly before midnight, we discovered another conversation we hadn't Seen or heard before.
Speaker 2: I just buy the anti gun. I stood and down myself with the army then. I respect that. Queen Creek, Arizona. That's where that's where I live.
Are you my neighbor? I care. Get out
Speaker 9: of there.
Speaker 2: I live in Queen Creek.
Speaker 13: I wanna choke you, man.
Speaker 2: Wait. This guy's antagonizing me, man. Maybe it's because you're my neighbor.
Speaker 0: Then he leaned in and whispered something he apparently did not want to say out loud.
Speaker 3: We're not here to We're here
Speaker 2: to you're the storm. I'm not kidding you. We're here to storm the capital. Hell, yeah. Alright.
Have Have a good night. Be safe, Owen. Be safe, brother.
Speaker 0: That one moment changed what we knew about Reyes that night When he whispered, storm the capital, before it had happened and echoed the official narrative before it was broadcast across the nation. It turned out January 5th was not the 1st time Rea Epps encountered Big Tallaska. You can see him circling During this live stream recorded by Big Tallaska at a stop the steal rally in Phoenix on November 30th, shortly after the 2020 election. It appeared to have been scrubbed from the Internet. Here, it showed Raheps pacing back and forth a short way from Bate Alaska Who seemed to have his attention as he looked over in his direction repeatedly 13 times by our count.
Then Epps Stopped and pointed his camera right at him. Snagging a photo before putting his phone down and walking away. Only to reemerge on camera roughly a minute later, taking another photo in the same area. Wherever there was trouble to be found outside the capitol on January 6th, there was also a decent chance you could find Raef's.
Speaker 2: We are going to the capital.
Speaker 0: The self declared Trump supporter from Arizona wasn't just directing people.
Speaker 2: The capital's misdirection.
Speaker 0: He was at the 1st main breach around 12:52 PM with what the department of justice described in the statement of offense from his case As the vanguard of rioters, trespassing on restricted grounds and whispering into the ear of a man named Ryan Samsel, Who's in prison for what he did seconds later. Then Epps joined the flood of rioters who stormed through the downed barricades and breached the first line of defense according to the DOJ. A short way down the path, when rioters took down more barricades, The DOJ said Epps continued to penetrate the restricted grounds and headed for the west plaza, Also a restricted area. Thanks to his tall frame and red hat, you can make him out amidst the crowd at these barriers, where he is once again in the 1st group to break through and get past the police. Jim Haft runs the Gateway Pundit, An online news site that's been a thorn in the side of progressives and establishment censors ever since he started blogging some 20 years ago When the Internet was still fairly new, few have devoted as much time to covering January 6th as Haft and his team of reporters who've published well over a 1000 stories in two and a half years.
Speaker 15: We have video of Rahab's holding up this Huge MAGA sign, steel MAGA sign, and he's actually helping push it. Some of the men who were touching that sign, They're in prison today.
Speaker 14: As someone who, you know, people have called me a fit, I understand how serious it is. So, you know, I say this is allegedly this is what I believe. I I don't have, like, a smoking gun
Speaker 0: That you can prove it.
Speaker 14: Yeah. I can't I do know he was an oath keeper.
Speaker 0: We did confirm Raheps's involvement Years ago with the oath keepers as seen in this video from Tucson, Arizona in 2011 where Ray Epps is wearing the t shirt and marching along. This is the organization that according to the DOJ led the so called insurrection. Kate Hilton said she was at that event with Rhodes and Epps. What made you join the oath keepers?
Speaker 16: I like the concept Then the mission statement, which is the revere, follow the constitution, and It was directed at anyone that's taken the oath to remind them that regardless of what's going on around us, We are bound to that oath.
Speaker 0: Is there something sinister in that?
Speaker 16: No. Absolutely not. Unless you think the constitution's sinister.
Speaker 11: So I'm gonna put
Speaker 13: it out there. I'm probably gonna go to jail for
Speaker 2: the jail. Tomorrow. We need to go into the capitol.
Speaker 16: He's yelling, go into the capitol. That's Not something I, could see him saying. That's totally the opposite of the image that he had presented previously. In what way? Well, he was a marine, very disciplined.
They don't cross those lines.
Speaker 0: No.
Speaker 16: Yet here he was screaming to Total strangers should cross that line.
Speaker 0: Epps made it onto the FBI's list of unidentified January 6 suspects but was removed around 6 months later without being charged. That was taken by many as a sign he was being protected. But his criminal attorney, John told Politico he thought Epps was removed in part because he'd contacted the FBI and was no longer unidentified. However, we found other suspects who'd been identified and were still on the FBI list, Their pictures updated with a banner saying arrested. We also found Matthew Perna still on there more than a year and a half after he'd committed Suicide in February 2022.
The presence of undercover agents and informants amidst the crowd on January 6th has been coming to light and can no longer be dismissed as conspiracy. We turn to investigators like congressman Barry Loudermilk Since the FBI and DOJ won't comment, he's chairman of the house administration's oversight subcommittee investigating security failures around January 6th.
Speaker 3: There was 1 video clip that had made it out, in public that some people had claimed this was definitely a police officer. We verified that to be true.
Speaker 0: This is the clip recorded on the body cam of the undercover officer in question.
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this.
Speaker 0: He can be heard chanting
Speaker 2: USA. USA. USA.
Speaker 0: And at times, urging the crowd to advance.
Speaker 2: Go. Go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
That's
Speaker 1: it. It's tear gas. Tear gas.
Speaker 0: The committee has not made his name public yet, But he was identified to defense attorneys as officer Nicholas Thomasula. There is a video that has police officers on the west side by the fountain yelling at each other, and one of them says we're hurting innocent people. And they say, For every 1 we're pulling out, we're making 10 angrier.
Speaker 2: A lot of pain is applied
Speaker 12: when you
Speaker 2: hit innocent people. And and not only that, we're taking out 1, and 10 of them are getting It's it's it's we're multiplying them by hitting them.
Speaker 0: You know, when you listen to that, you have the sense that the offices were set up for failure as much as the protesters. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And we've got a video of officers saying we were set up.
Speaker 9: They set us the fuck up. That's what they did. They set us
Speaker 2: the They
Speaker 9: set up 64 with Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2: And and
Speaker 9: then they answered 2 hours later. They set us up. They needed everybody right away. No. Right away.
They set us the fuck up. We
Speaker 0: Is it potentially the biggest setup in the history of this country?
Speaker 3: Potentially.
Speaker 0: One of the greatest crimes against the American people.
Speaker 3: That's why it's so important to get the truth with us. That's What we're working for and the cover ups that happened after January 6th is what I'm really after as well.
Speaker 0: What about the Republicans involved in those cover ups? I know it's hard for you to address those things. This is your own party, but this is the reality.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go where evidence leads.
Speaker 0: No matter what.
Speaker 3: No matter what.
Speaker 0: I'm gonna hold you to that.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 0: What happens then at that Moment when you find yourself inside the tunnel, what's the first thing you remember happening? I I was just trying to stand stand up and not be trampled. That's Where my focus was until they hit to the head.

So So let's begin our journey by setting up the stage. On December 21, 2020, Aria Kovler, a political consultant With a background in government relations, tweets On January 6th, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC at Trump's borders. It's highly likely that they'll try to store up the capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's whip.
I don't think that this has sunken yet. Which brings us to a town hall meeting held 2 days prior to the riots on January 4th with mayor Muriel Bowser oops and chief Contee, who, side note, replaced chief Peter Newsom just 2 days earlier. You know, the same chief Newsom
Speaker 1: whose 1st assignment back in 2016 was
Speaker 0: to investigate Edgar Madison Welch for firing shots at James Elephants' Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria. Photographed by Jose Luis Madonna. Let's learn a new word, kayfabe. Kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events as real or true. Everything in entertainment wrestling is to some scripted or kayfabe, even though at times it is portrayed as real life.
A wrestler breaking kayfabe during a show would be likened to an actor breaking character on camera. Keep this in the back of your mind as we travel through this time line. Like any good story, we need to understand the mainstream narrative. And we picked the most middle line mainstream media news source, PBS, written on January 5th, states Hundreds of supporters of president Trump descended on the nation's capital to cheer his baseless claims of election fraud day before congressional vote to affirm Joe Biden's victory, he warned that Antifa, the umbrella term for leftist militant groups, should stay out Washington. Mayor Muriel Bowser called in National Guard troops to help bolster the city's police force.
She urged residents to stay away from downtown Washington and to avoid confrontations with anyone who is looking for a fight. On Monday, police arrested the leader of Proud Boys, Henry Tarrio, for burning a BLM flag in public. Following day, a judge signs an order banning Tarrio from entering DC. How convenient. An afternoon march was also planned to the US capital, where congress will be voting to affirm the election results.
Despite pressure from president Trump to help overturn his election loss, vice president Pence will stick to his ceremonial Duties and not block Wednesday's certification, citing I have no right to overturn the election.
Speaker 3: He's a great guy. Plus, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him quite as much.
Speaker 0: And lastly, Black Lives Matter Plaza was sealed off Tuesday, and we'll see why. Keep in mind that most of the events on January 6th will literally play out on a stage, which has just been completed for the inauguration. Now that we've reviewed the backstory, let's identify some of our photographers. Julio Cortez, Victor Blue, Igor Babic, Sabrina Tavernist, Aaron Schaaf, Samuel Coram, White House press photographer Andrew Harnick, White House staff photographer Sal Loeb, Wynn MacNamee, J. Scott Applewhite, Drew Enger, John Minkolo, Manuel Soneta, Amy Harris, Jose Luis Vergana, Joseph Prezioso, John Cherry, Sandy Bauchum, citizen journalist, Brendan Gutenschwager, town hall reporter, Julio Rosas, Luke Mogelson, Typhoon Josh Good, John Farina, News To Share's Ford Fisher, Young Kim, Blaze TV's Elijah Schafer, Michael Negro.
The Washington examiners, Stephen Nelson, John Sullivan, Chris Jones, Taylor Hanson, cameraman Sam of Infowars, just another Brandon of Infowars, and chief photographer of SW and S, Adam Gray. And while we're on the subject, I would like to take this moment to retract the claim that he was Fake arrested on January 6th when in fact it was in New York, June 1, 2020 during the George Floyd riots. Now let's start our Journey a geek here on the Ellipse and the Washington Monument. Now mainstream media reports there are 36,000 1,000 present at this DC rally. We'll just have to take their word for it.
And the time is currently 10 am. All right, so now all the Proud Boys are all gathered at the Washington Monument. I am not allowed to
Speaker 3: say what's going to happen today
Speaker 0: because everyone's just going to have to watch. Now the Proud Boys are leaving the Washington Monument. And look who it is. DC photographer Amy Harris getting all the pictures. And Sandy's there too.
I wonder where they're going. So let's follow them.
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 0: Voted by Pulitzer Prize winner, DC photographer Carolyn Castor. See how they're all single file? This is for the camera. Rah. So now they're passing Smithsonian Castle.
And look, everyone's just following Amy, setting up all the good shots. Thank you, Amy. So now they're crossing the street here at 4th. Everybody stop. Everyone's stationary, and then they get the command to march past the camera and flash as many white power signs as possible.
Now they're gonna stop to get some more photos. And you'll notice that this Joe Biggs character, he's one of the fall guys, constantly talking into his walkie talkie, which we believe is a prop. Yes, it may A work, yes, he might be talking to someone. But that's not the purpose or the essence of it. They want to make it obvious.
We don't want to make Americans think too much, so they see the radio and the earpiece. They got the answer. Think optics. And Ordean's job is to Grab a Lambo. Into the megaphone.
I mean, they really gilded the lilies with this one. Meanwhile, 7 blocks northwest at the Hamilton Hotel, Jaden deliberately leaves a trail of digital breadcrumbs, uploading this post as he heads out towards the Washington Monument. Now let's head to the east side of the Capitol for a little sermon shoot photographed by CBS News, HuffPost, and Newsweek journalist Mike Theeler. Now they're bringing out the ridiculous cross prop, which we'll see later, being crowd served. What is happening?
Yeah. Can we get everyone in there for a little Christ cuddle? Well, he's got the rosary. The photographer of the year slash Getty Images chief photographer, Wynn MacNamee, Not looking obvious at all. Photographed by The Hill's Stephanie Reynolds.
You know how to push the narrative that all Republicans are crazy bible thumpers? Moving on. So it's 11 o'clock, and Trump Whoops. Will delay his speech by an hour. Wonder why.
So now the Proud Boys are heading east on Maryland Avenue Southwest towards the Garfield Monument. Hey, Geeswine. At the same time on First Street Southwest, Angel Wash of Underground News Syndicate and her husband, Patrick, of News Time Live begin live streaming on their way towards the Washington Monument when they intersect the Proud Boys. And like Jade Sacker, Angel and Patrick are unaware that they're surrounded by a bunch of paid protesters, and sorry about the quality.
Speaker 1: And this time code that
Speaker 0: we've added Begins at 11:16. Luckily, this rare gem revealed some interesting clues and helped piece together the timeline of this little pilgrimage where they stop to take the knee For a little k prayer while the media creates a perimeter around them. Get those pics. Oh, hey, cops. What the hell are those?
Now the PBs resume their journey as our photogs find a new angle. An angel wash in the middle of it all, just Sticking out like a sore thumb. Who is getting all these good shots? Simple. The English US correspondent for Newsnight, David Grossman, and British Filmmaker Nick Quested, who is one of our stars during the June 2022 capital hearings, is there too.
Speaker 3: You haven't noticed? Real men are here.
Speaker 0: Nope. Haven't noticed that, Ethan. Let's watch that again on Angel's Angle.
Speaker 3: Real men are here.
Speaker 0: Get that bit, grossman. Guys, notice how they're a bit lax. No one's quite in their character yet, but they don't really need to be because the show hasn't started. And all of this footage will be used as the backstory. You know, Oh, the moments leading up to the insurrection.
So now they're heading north on First Street Northwest towards the Peace Monument. Now here, they're about to pass The west side of the capital entrance, or obstacle 1. Don't worry. They'll be back in an hour. And they're just following all the photographers, just getting all the shots.
Remember this cop for act 3, We'll call Dilly.
Speaker 3: Chris, separate yourselves from our crew.
Speaker 0: And they do, but not Angel, who's now being eyed by Nordine.
Speaker 1: Now they all get into character.
Speaker 0: Just as they approach the peace camp. Right on time. And Nordine still watching Angel while Grossman's on the down low.
Speaker 3: Hey, tighten it up, boy. Setting it up.
Speaker 0: Now they turn right on Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest and hold for others to catch up.
Speaker 3: There you go, guys. When we get bottlenecked like this, we really pay attention to people coming into our ranks.
Speaker 0: Just talking about you, Angel, who is now the only one amongst them filming, as her husband, Patrick, who's at the back of the line, goes live back to Angel, where on our left, you can see some background actors changing into their SWAT gear while Amy Harris drudges along. Now let's get a better look with Nick Quested's angle. Yeah. Hope it fits. It's as Patrick catches up with Angel.
And without missing a beat, for the 1st time today, our paid protesters give their best cop hate performance.
Speaker 3: Fuck your Thanks. Do your job, bro. 3. Talk to 2.
Speaker 0: Guess that's it for now. Okay. Yeah. Make sure you're turning your vouchers to wardrobe, people. And then this happens.
Speaker 3: You with us? Proud boys, you're with us?
Speaker 0: Uh-oh. What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Well, we need you to stay
Speaker 0: on my We don't
Speaker 3: want you guys to come in and break the whole line of space. Alright? Just just for protection because you confuse us. God bless you, sweetie. Alright.
Speaker 0: Bless you. Okay. So, yeah, they don't want me here.
Speaker 3: Who who said that?
Speaker 0: It one of them probably. She says, are you with us? I said, who? The speaker was eyeballing me, so no clue why. Pretty sure they don't wanna hear it.
Speaker 1: But Patrick doesn't care Oh,
Speaker 0: I don't care. And they continue anyway. Meanwhile, a large group of actors are headed east on Constitution and second.
Speaker 3: We are going to the capital.
Speaker 0: Thanks for the tip.
Speaker 3: Where I drop the
Speaker 0: Yeah. Your problems are all around you.
Speaker 3: It's not the red shirt.
Speaker 0: Actually, could you write that down? All right. Look at this. We're gonna break this down real Quick. Okay.
So that's red. Then this is what he looks like unmasked.
Speaker 1: Are you watching Gateway Plunden? We know how bad you wanted to find this guy, so here he is.
Speaker 0: But watch what his buddy does.
Speaker 3: So he
Speaker 0: just pulls this guy's camera down. Notice the cameraman doesn't react or even look up to see who did it, which leads us to believe he knew it was gonna happen. And this group is coming from 7th and Constitution Avenue. So all these groups are coming your way.
Speaker 3: We're gonna storm the fucking capital. Fuck you, buckles.
Speaker 0: Bro, lay off the meth. So let's see if Trump's arrived yet. Nope. Nothing says stopping the Stilmore than a song about
Speaker 1: when the government suicided a Hollywood MK Ultra victim in the
Speaker 0: Oh, the sneaky Proud Boys are off, cutting a ride at Delaware Avenue towards the east side of the capitol. Photo by Leah Millis. Guess we can't go that way. And look at all this media ready to go. No one's here to see Trump, apparently, as the Broad Boys cut across the east lawn to take another little pit stop amongst the early east side crisis actors.
And for our Gematria friends, orange equals to 33 in full reduction. And now the PBs get the command to resume their little tour de capital and march south And down to the east, entrance steps, where they reemerge. Photographed by Amy Harris. Now why would they come all the way over here?
Speaker 3: What do
Speaker 0: you think it's going to be, guys? Think it might have something to do with white supremacy. Nein. I like your bat, d swine. Harrah's discussing the next shot.
Speaker 3: Tighten up.
Speaker 0: Tighten up, because we're about to have a massive photo shoot. Video by daily beast photographer, Will Sommer. All these photographers come in like some kind of train or gang bang, Amanda on her knees getting up in there. Photographed by Amanda Andrade Rhodes, Jim. Let's take a look at one of his photos back in November of 2020.
Does this look authentic? Does this look organic? Take a good look at it, see how they're all spaced, and holding a posture. It's imperative to learn these tricks of the trade. John Cherry gets the best pick, who won the Pulitzer prize for this photo.
And enough of that. Maybe Trump's come out now.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen Uh-oh. President Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 0: I'm only letting it play out here because this microphone doesn't work.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 0: What's that all about? Getting annoyed. All right. Moving on. So now it's noon, and the photoshoot's over.
Amy Harris has got her photos, and she's leading the pack north on First Street. Now they're gonna wait for everyone to catch up on the corner of Constitution and firs. Outside the Dirksen senate office building, these photographers are relentless.
Speaker 3: Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.
Speaker 0: Now we're headed west on Constitution. And we're coming back from our little photo shoot, where Steven Nelson, DC reporter for the New York Post, is gonna take this footage. And thank you, Steven, the time stamps. And now one of our stars, Taylor Hanson, files in with the peevees being led by a bunch of photographers. Notice cop escort on the right.
The guy in the scooter is Eddie Bloch. It was a shady past, but we don't have time for that. So now they're gonna turn left on the first.
Speaker 1: Oh, now they're getting into character.
Speaker 0: Now they're gonna take a pit stop on 1st and Constitution. They're just waiting around, getting their breakfast, and what could they be waiting for? Oh, hey. Look. It's Data, who turns out to be the Ugandan born slash USC School of Cinematic Arts videographer, Young Kim, who works under his rise images banner.
But the footage Captors today will be licensed to RMG News, who are the consultants and technical advisors for the 2014 film Nightcrawler, Which is about an amateur cameraman who deceives, manipulates, and exploits everyone who stands in the way of his money shot. Let's check-in with the west side of the capitol. And it looks like we have some actors waiting outside in the cold and waiting for everybody to show. And remember this guy. We'll call him the Unabomber.
Speaker 3: I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building.
Speaker 0: You know they're there already.
Speaker 3: I'll be There with you.
Speaker 0: No, he won't. So now the PBs are wrapping up their little breakfast. Now Amy's gonna walk ahead so she can get photographs of them walking by, just like this, making their Grand entrance down First Street, and now it's gay fape galore. Remember this guy, William Pepe? And now they're synced up with all the other actors.
And now they've arrived. Now we can proceed. And look at all these people just waiting for them.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 0: Go join all your key fave friends. Now mayor Muriel Bowser and Chief Conti have extensively about all the force and backup that they're gonna call to prevent something like this. So let's take a look at our first line of defense. You've got to be shitting me. Is that a side ponytail?
Background actors. Crazy lady number 2 just shouting at them, that's her job. I know it's hard to look at this.
Speaker 3: Where's that? T Bone.
Speaker 0: Getting the photos. Where's
Speaker 3: that? T Bone.
Speaker 0: Creating a narrative.
Speaker 3: Where's that? T Bone.
Speaker 0: Fake As crisis actors, we call this guy GIK. Okay, babe. So now Ryan Samsel is going to whisper sweet nothings to Joe Biggs.
Speaker 1: There's Victor Blue. And there's Sabrina Tavernins
Speaker 0: getting the pictures. We'll see later shooting the Babbitt death sequence. Yep, just waiting for the showdown. So now they've all pulled at the entrance of the Pennsylvania walkway. And right away, Ryan Samsell gets the command to approach and makes a beeline towards obstacle one.
And everyone follows him. What's yours? You know where the
Speaker 1: cast of Pacific Blue is waiting for him?
Speaker 0: Notice how they already have their hands up, which learned all about in act 1, and this footage was captured by everyone's favorite Blaze TVs, Elijah Schaeffer. Get a good look at these cops, guys. Notice how they're already grouped, Spaced out and in line. And here, you have happy because she's happy for hours. As we come into obstacle 1, Samsel checks back to see that he's not Alone.
Notice how the plastic liner's still laying out. All right. We've got Cop 2 from our previous video pretending to phone it in. It is indeed a side A ponytail. No.
Please don't do that. Everybody's just laughing, hanging out. Look at this cop. He's laughing with the guy, shooting a shit. Never knew an insurrection could be so funny.
And over here, it's the barricade dance, the only game they really have other than the awful chanting. Looks great for camera. You got to keep actor's busy. Now, Samsoul dramatically taking off the jean jacket that he's gonna throw to the ground and never retrieve.
Speaker 3: That's not normal.
Speaker 0: Now, Epps comes up to Samsoul. We know what a wonderful kayfabe actor Epps is. He's just whispering for the dramatic effect, Back and forth, and no one has a weapon. And now we have miss Barbie to the right, who turns out to be Caroline Edwards, who is one of our Stars during the June 2022 capital hearing. You're near a party.
Whoo. That sounded real. And Barbie hangs on, and here, the momentum catapults Barbie's right Shoulder into the rail, entering her. So you could see Samso put his hands up to his head. He up.
That wasn't supposed to happen. And so now, look, they just come around, breaking character to Check on her, which is nice, which tells me he could be the controller of this scene. They don't want anybody actually hurt. I know that may sound contradicting. The purpose is not To harm each other.
The purpose is to get dramatic photos and videos, so they're just grabbing. What the hell are they doing? The cop got a headlock and a cop? I have this cop come down. Can we call him Enrique?
Look, he's just fighting the air. If you know anything about stage combat, it looks just like this. It's just the game of slap and tickle. And this cop just pushes him. He just pushes his head down.
God, you guys couldn't get better actors than these keystone cops? And to our right, we're doing a little remodeling, and now they all start to pour in. Teamwork. So now Tony just makes his way the stairs because he's our wonderful kayfabe cheerleader. Put a little bit more into it, side ponytail.
Give me something. No facial expressions. Just nothing because she is dead inside. And they just retreat, and they defeat obstacle 1 in less than a minute. Didn't even put up a fight.
And they just scatter like the terrible actors they are, and they're making their way
Speaker 3: USA. Stop the Theo. They shot and killed her.
Speaker 0: Really not that hard to
Speaker 1: break down their body language, people.
Speaker 0: So now we're reaching 2. It's not Barbie's limping because she was really hurt. Yes. Sometimes people get hurt. Sometimes people throw real punches.
Maybe not today. Look at side ponytail. She Check to see if she broke a nail. These are not cops. Don't wake the up.
I'm on with the crust. I didn't hear, but what what what What What what what today, Junior? What is what is gonna happen? Are the limitations here on federal property? Just kfaving away, Elijah.
Gotta sound all reporter y right now.
Speaker 1: Not really making any sense.
Speaker 0: I'm just okay. And she doesn't say anything
Speaker 1: because she's not a real cop.
Speaker 0: She's a side ponytail. Are you listening, side ponytail? You're terrible. So is no one gonna Point out the obvious here. That's okay.
We'll do it. We have to do everything around here. Anyway, guys, if BlazeTV sends a reporter out to DC for the very purpose of capturing Trump's speech, which won't be over for another 15 minutes, but instead is the 1st human in all of the world to be standing at the gates of obstacle 2. This guy knew it was gonna happen. Just like all of our fake Trump supporters, our fake Rent A Cops, and our very faint photographers and reporters.
I mean, what else would you call this if not an inside job? There's this Free easy thing that's called journalism ingla. Ugh. Yeah. There's a special place in hell for gaslighting narcissists like this.
Back at obstacle 2 Don't go
Speaker 3: right here.
Speaker 0: Our k cops are just kayfabe and chill, and now they just pull the barricades away. The cops don't do a damn thing. Hey, Pepe. The cops just watched. Look at all this teamwork.
And Ryan Samsel takes the lead again.
Speaker 3: What do
Speaker 0: you think he's gonna go do? And what are these floor signs? Well, cop 2 does his best kayfaving,
Speaker 1: you know, just standing there.
Speaker 0: And they're gonna hang here on the Pennsylvania walkway for a minute, Which is exactly how long it takes to defeat obstacle 2 as Aaron Mestavsky makes his way in.
Speaker 3: We saw him in a campground. Oh, I have.
Speaker 0: Now a Unabomber's coming into the scene. Oh, just a little nudge y. We'll see this cop, Epps, later, not to be confused with our captain, Reheps. So as they're filing in, we could see these mini fire extinguishers on top of these plastic Firemates already set out. There's Victor Blue.
Good job, Pepe. I like your radio. What in the hell? They're just filing in. Thoreau.
What for your paycheck? Silly. You have to complete the job first, and they'll hire just about anyone. See this black fence here? We'll see this come down in about 2 minutes, and it comes out like butter.
So as we're coming into the scene, Ryan Sampson goes up to Barbie and apologizes again, but she looks Pissed. It looks like Ryan gets defensive. All right. Someone's getting fake arrested in the back. And here we have InfoWars turned Eliza Schafer cohost, Savannah Hernandez doing some journalism ing.
Wow, wow, wow. Look what the cat dragged in. Sabrina Tavernaz, complete with her helmet. Looking unsure. How would she know to bring a helmet?
And this guy is photojournalist John Farina.
Speaker 3: What are
Speaker 0: cops doing some mice nerd. They're just all standing around not really sure what to do. They're buying time. They need everybody to fill this space. People are Still coming.
Remember this blue tape, and they just file right in. Another fire extinguisher. This whole time, they have guns, but they never use them. Enrique and Camel trying to make love. Something tells me that camel is ex military.
Speaker 3: Oh, no.
Speaker 1: God, imagine waking up to that every morning.
Speaker 0: Now here's the fake arrest. Tay Tay and Savannah getting it all right in front of Laffy, who's still laughing. And these black crates, in case you were wondering, contain Audio equipment and loudspeaker systems rented from MSI or Maryland Sound International. Notice how all these guys know to chant the same thing?
Speaker 3: It's our hat. Woah. What's so bad luck? Here we come.
Speaker 0: Oh. Tay Tay and Savannah swapping dick pics. I have Aaron in the background. Hey, babying. His little Jewish heart out.
Emphasis on little. Nordine getting some takate. We'll call this cop Carl. And now we're gonna remove The black fence, boom, comes right out.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 0: As they file into the lower west plaza, and this dollar general fence easily snaps for your convenience. And here you John and Amy Schubert, who we like to call freedom, and they just walk on through. Yeah. Let's move a little faster, people. Hey.
Tappy. And look at all these crisis actors behind them. Back on the Westlawn, this footage comes from town hall reporter, Julio Rosas, who wasn't tipped off about this at all. Would Really love to know what's happening under that tent. Oh, all the hard work they put into lining that fence.
And they just walk right in. Chief Conti, where are all your men? Sure does bring new light to the word acting, chief. These are still actors, guys. With that many people involved, somebody would have said something to the news.
Now they come in. They're making their way towards the southwest scaffolding with Camel leading them. God, Epps, put a little more into it. What do you think is going to happen right now? Where do you think They're going.
Another fire extinguisher. I know it's cold, guys, but this is gonna be in the history books. It almost seems so rehearsed. Oh, someone's knocked over a fire I wonder what it'll be used for. Nordine, are you drunk?
It's Okay if you are. Maybe it'll just add more to your character. Side ponytail. Feel like a wallflower. Now this guy right here is Khorne, and he's the star of the scene that's about to take place.
Notice this guy in the background. He runs, and then he slows down his cop too. Goes to give him a gentle hug. Just brings him back into the scene. Where's Major going?
I'm gonna tell you what they're doing in just a second. Listen to what this old guy says. Did you hear what he said? Go ahead and push me down. Play into me.
What do you think, folks?
Speaker 3: They're getting ready to spray.
Speaker 0: They're getting ready to spray. Are they summoning the powers of Miss Cleo, everyone's psychic. Notice the cooler. Notice the lumber in the background. Notice this bag of trash or bag of props.
Got Unabomber trading beauty secrets. We'll call this guy here doctor t. Here, we're about to unveil one of our smoking guns. Notice the pile of lumber sitting here. It will be used later.
Now watch this. Insert bull.
Speaker 3: I can't debate I've got more people coming up.
Speaker 0: Let's get him down here to
Speaker 3: the black, white, white, white.
Speaker 0: Or what's left of it. And Bull is our stunt guy, who turns out to be 33 year old Iraq Poor veteran, Landon Kenneth Copeland. And he probably charges a lot because we only have him for 20 minutes. And that's our cop, Major, who just brought him in. Now as our cops are bringing bull in, we're gonna have a little Turkish delight, a little mini scene to warm up the kids.
Get that shot, Adam. Who's gonna climb to Top, what do you think is gonna happen? It's just a little mini show. Get everybody in the spirit, and they take him down. And it probably deserves as some type of distraction.
We're gonna see Little mini shows later. And here's a guy you tried to go in earlier, taking the knee. Notice this guy in the black, Kaye Fabie. Like he got maced. So this guy escorts him away from this area.
Speaker 3: He's the
Speaker 0: one who came in with Bull. Notice the ladder and the cones in the background. We'll see those later. And now they bring Turkish delight down with a big shit eating grin on his face. The main crowd ain't even come Yeah.
And they woke for another 45 minutes. So here, Bull makes his way into the crowd, but he doesn't know where to go. So he's gonna come back and ask for directions. Door opens. You think they'd lock You'll notice later that the northwest scaffolding,
Speaker 1: you know, the only side that they go up,
Speaker 0: doesn't have its doors on the outside. Yeah. And his lunch Shrek, you're having a blast.
Speaker 3: Wish Like you're having a blast?
Speaker 0: I guess it's noon, and Abu knows where to go. Hey. It's happy. Oh, now the SWAT's coming in. Look at all these Fat cops.
You know who paid for all of this. Right? We did. And Q's right behind them. Oh, someone's late to the show.
Get a good look at these cops. Barbie's in background taking a break with this brand new fire extinguisher, and Q's just gonna walk right up the steps while Nick Quested gets all of it. They just file right in, hoping their tactical gear stays intact, while John Farina double penetrates them with 2 cameras. Jesus. It's like inbred city.
While Breanna gets all of it. This cop's laughing. It's who are they. Backups. They don't say anything else.
Just nothing. Why did they hire her? This guy standing in front of Data, we'll call him David, and we'll see him later. So everybody's just standing around, waiting. Listen to how quiet it is.
Speaker 3: What do you
Speaker 0: think they're all waiting for? So if you are an actor, one of your main jobs is to do this, pour water into people's eyes. Get used to it. Never had a country because it isn't a country. It's a corporation and still under crown law.
Look at these guys just Chatting up with the cops. The summoning is part of the show. Whoop, there's some backup. Ready for some kayfabe action, boys?
Speaker 3: Why do
Speaker 0: you think Camille's doing such a great job right now? Not only is he ginning up the crowd, there's a shit ton of photographers right behind us. Does anybody know what that patch is? Oh, grandma's kicking them out. Everyone's so polite around here.
Look at all space. And that's Waterboy. We'll see him later. And they're still flooding in. Meanwhile, Congress begins joint Session certifying the, quote, presidential election results, you know, the main arc at the end of season 2020, as Mikaela Pence steps into the role of Judas.
And all of them, just pretending to be completely oblivious to all of the bad acting that's occurring outside of their lair. Outside, let's go live with Patrick on the Maryland Walkway, or as we like to call it, the Southwest Channel. Seems kind of vacant, but we don't see a lot of footage of the Southwest Channel. Think about it. Trump told everybody to march on Pennsylvania Avenue, becomes the Pennsylvania walkway.
In fact, he said Pennsylvania 19 times in his speech. Remember, we believe that Patrick is a real person who doesn't know that he's surrounded by a bunch of actors. Hash experiment, anyone? So as he enters, notice this massive group headed towards us, away from the capital, and in a hurry, where They'll break into pairs, find their placement marks, and faithfully stand because they've been given instructions not to move from that spot until further notice so that when our real folks show, they can Fully envelope them.
Speaker 3: That that was right. It was on Google. Is that
Speaker 0: Gilbert Godfrey? Now the scriptures duo Take their position and begin their bullhorn bible thumping rants. Get a good look at these background actors. We are so honored that they hired us as crisis Actors to come here to the capitol, and we're going to blend in with everyone. Oh, not sure.
We are going to storm the building. Not a ticket. Let's cut to Angel, who's still on the east side, where they've set up a live screening of Trump's speech.
Speaker 3: And I say this, Despite all that's happened, the best is yet to come.
Speaker 0: Over yonder on the west side, Everest is cruising around like this is Lollapalooz something. Might as well be. Oh, just a little boof pull. I'm about to get you fake arrested.
Speaker 3: No. The
Speaker 0: hell. You can't blame these Guys, they've never fake arrested somebody before. Oh, there's the cross. Yeah. Hope they sanded it down.
Oh, guess not. GIK babe chatting it up with the cop, sees the camera on him, and starts malfunctioning. Oh, dear. What happened there? Maybe the power of Christ compelled them.
So as a cross crowd serve, why do you think they've come up here?
Speaker 3: Leave the nose of God. Do it.
Speaker 0: We're just gonna spoil them for you. There are four reasons why we believe they've come up to the spot. Number 1, to have all of our newcomers fill in the space behind us. 2, they can bring out all the barricades when they push everyone back. 3, so we can buy time with our photographers before all of our real Trump supporters show in 40 minutes.
4, And most importantly, to dress the set, meaning this backdrop is too pristine for our photographers. And we need to get it a little bloody dingy, cringey for our cameras. So let's break it down I'm not. Now, Bull has entered the scene and noticed Korn having a little conversation. And not safe for work warning?
But while you're watching Korn, you gotta watch Bull 2. Now watch what Korn does. He does this little, like, thriller dance. I noticed Bull constantly looks in the direction of Car. So after Corn does his little Thriller dance, Bull turns to the right, and he nods.
And he bends down, and he just makes his way over to Karn. And he just stands there, and then he puts his arm around him. The story goes is that Karn is shot with a rubber bullet in the cheek, and it pisses Bull off. So let's see if it really happened. This is the Impetus that bull needs to get all riled up because he's our stunt guy.
Speaker 3: Let's see it in the fucking way.
Speaker 0: Now let's take a look at this blood.
Speaker 3: Now the
Speaker 0: color of this blood looks Completely different than this. And the spatter here doesn't really resemble a cheek wound. You got a bottle of peroxide in the back and they're gonna get as much fake blood in this area as And then they're going to trample through it. And now you see what we mean by dressing the set. So now porn just nonchalantly spits the blood capsule into his bottle.
Now Melina enters, and she just pours water onto the wound. Notice that Karn doesn't even look to see who's doing it. He just expects it. She's the source of all this matter, Sing the set. Don't put water in your car.
Then she dumps some more water on the blood. And now he squats so Samsel and Pudge can treat him. So if you're wondering what that is, it's wound sealer. And when they do these types of drills, they would treat this like a real wound and take a good look at it. And this is what it's gonna look like later.
Snod's try to take it out. No. No. Leave it in there. Just leave
Speaker 3: it in there. Leave the ball in there.
Speaker 0: Now listen to what Melina says. He needs a medic. I I am the medic. She forgot she was the medic.
Speaker 3: He needs a medic. I'm I'm I'm talking about that. He needs a medic.
Speaker 0: Notice the radio. And unlike Biggs, not for optics. Makes you wonder why they would have wound sealer and peroxide on them. Jesus. This footage was taken by Data.
And unfortunately, this is all we have to piece together. In all of the footage that people have, there's cuts in it, with the exception of Jaden. Just Checking in, does this look real? Does that look real? Getting all the pictures.
This fake cop, we'll call him Trapper. Notice his nameplate is missing as he exaggerates a dramatic muffled monologue. You can see Melina holds up a can of wound sept plus because she's going to disinfect him. But she doesn't. She doesn't take him anywhere.
And you can see Korn tilt his blood bottle, and chief just watches along. They're just buying time. And remember, Korn has a big Photo shoot later. Walnut Quested gobbles it up with 2 cameras. So the cops gonna bend down to check on corns, keep spitting in that bottle because we're gonna use that later.
And now the cop attempts To escort him, but he's intercepted by Sancel. I'm with them. Ugh. Okay. This isn't a league of their own.
Speaker 3: Let's get ready to kick it.
Speaker 0: Cancel less fake anger and background. Oh, I can't believe it, JR.
Speaker 3: I
Speaker 0: love Bo. He's the best one here because he's a method actor and fake cop trapper for Tending to do something? Now we're gonna do a round of slap and tickle. This is how this works. They play fight for a little, get all the shots, and then take a break.
Okay. We see Korn there, and he's just stepping all up in the blood, creating transfer patterns. Oh, somebody brought the silly string, and now we're gonna see why we call him Bull. See how he comes into the scene anticipating the impact with his back arch as he charges into them. Now it gets even better.
Let's just pause it right there. So we see Carm here, whose real name is Joshua Matthew Black, who released a YouTube video which has since been removed 2 days after the shit show. And in this video, he tells that he was protecting a capital officer who had been pepper sprayed and fallen to the ground, and that's when he was hit in the cheek with a plastic projectile. But we know that's not true because he was already shot, Looking like a piece of corn or a vintage toy gun pellet. But it should be noted that these types of wound applications are readily producible.
So here's the scene of him protecting the cops.
Speaker 3: Don't hurt ham.
Speaker 0: Don't hurt ham. Do you hear that crunch? That's his blood bottle. Oh, gosh. And Paul gets in another shot, backs to large.
Speaker 3: Don't tase me, bruh.
Speaker 0: Don't tase me, bruh. Hey, remember that viral phrase from the 2007 University of Florida incident where police tased Andrew Meyer for asking John Kerry if he was a member of the Skull and Bone fraternity, which he is. 322, baby. Oh, watch out for sneakies. Well, this cop signals for a reset.
So look at this cop. We'll call him lieutenant. Now where do you think he's going right now? Looks like he's going over to Bull. Buddy stop Fight falafel.
Speaker 3: Who is taking the first time? Cringe.
Speaker 0: So now he goes over to Fool to direct him to a new setup to his right, and he says okay. And now lieutenant pushes the guy, They're kayfaving away for all the cameras. Victor Blue just blocking us, trampling all up in that blood.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 0: Yeah. Tell us what happened.
Speaker 3: God bless America. God bless America.
Speaker 0: Oh, it's like they use a strawberry popsicle for that blood.
Speaker 3: God gave us freedom.
Speaker 0: Okay, and thank you for that. At the same time, Doctor. T gives instructions to a cop, and you can see the barricades have been placed on the south side, where a lot of our crisis actors have moved down next to the media tower. So while they're resetting, Let's see what's happening on Pennsylvania Avenue. And here's one of our stars, the face of the proverbial shit show, Jacob Chansley, just leading all our actors to the set, Loving that camera.
Getting that attention. Casinos, he's our main fall guy.
Speaker 3: He is one of those paid protesters that Travels around. Taking their blood, eating our babies.
Speaker 0: Well, that's true. Mitch, I'm
Speaker 3: a cow. Mitch, I'm a cow. I'm not a cat. We're not doing this for Donald Trump. Doing this for the constitution.
It's for the future of our republic. I hope you guys all stand with us. Thank you. Baby, why is Hot Wheels over here talking about some Stand with him. Baby, where are we standing?
Speaker 0: Whoo. Back on the main stage.
Speaker 3: And then late in the evening, boom, these explosions of bullshit. Together, we will drain the Washington swamp. No. You
Speaker 0: won't. Get 4 years to do that. Didn't arrest any of them.
Speaker 3: Let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna Thank you all. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible.
Speaker 0: Really? And nothing concludes Trump's Legacy and a song about a gay bathhouse. Look at this guy. At the same time
Speaker 3: God. Guys,
Speaker 0: There is a new world order, and it's well on its way. And full disclosure, we have a bit of neutrality bias when it comes to Jonesy. And like most free thinkers who begin their descent down the rabbit hole, you were likely to run into this guy along your path. And throughout the years, he was someone in your corner, and you cheered him on. Until one day, you realize that he is the epitome of controlled opposition.
And more on him later, later. Scab. It's a grand high witch. Skip. Whoo.
It's the cast of Saturnia. Homie closer Tony Danza. Look at all these Freemasons. Skip, Now the real people come, the authentic people who accept this one. Here's one of our main stars, Ashley Babbitt.
Speaker 3: There's an estimated over 3,000,000 people here today.
Speaker 0: No. There's not. What are you smoking? You know what we find interesting about this live stream? It was licensed and sold to TMZ.
How'd you guys manage to do that postmortem? Interesting. And now the crack pack, and their disciples make their way to set back on the West Side, where we're having a little barricade ballet. Get it? Get it?
Get it, bull? Guys, I want you to pretend that that's your paycheck. You'd think there was gold in those barricades. Jesus. They're they're all like We're at those barricade dresses.
And let's give a round of applause for Bo. Because he's done. Now this guy's gonna signal to stop while they drag this guy away, like a scene from Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh, there's Kano getting wild and just loving every minute of it. What is happening while our sneaky photographers get her done?
Get those pics. Oh, no. It's Cronus, which means a death has taken place. Benjamin Phillips, founder of Trump who organized a bust of Trump supporters from Pennsylvania to DC. Several people called Philip's cell phone when he failed to arrive after the shit show is over.
And one of those calls was answered by Washington police, who told them that Phillips had suffered a stroke while he was looking for a parking space and died at George Washington University Hospital for Francisco Diaz, who will become our chief medical examiner in 22 days. To complicate matters, Philip's obituary will not be released for another 4 months. So let's see what transpired. So here at obstacle 2, they've blocked This redneck archetype here next to these padded modular mats, just taking it all in, when all of a sudden, a flock of folks, including our obstacle 2 barricade remover, Kerry North on a barricade stretcher. Notice there's a person on top performing CPR.
I remember these 2, fake National Guard and Sergeant Pepper, followed by photographer Chris this cop will call legs, and Time Magazine photographer, Christopher Lee. Here we have our background SWAT fresh from holding As they scattered to make way for Phillips. But Taylor Hanson claims that Phillips died after he suffered a direct hit from a grenade. And this is a regular guy with a face shield, Just riding around on a hoverboard. So now our SWAT comes into the scene, followed by Chris Jones, and, oh, Maronie Stop.
When? What? Another one? Uh-oh. Who is it, boy?
Kevin Greason. Greason, a 55 year old father of 5 from Alabama
Speaker 1: who worked at the Goodyear Tire Plant in Decatur
Speaker 0: had a history of high blood pressure, and in the midst of the excitement, suffered a heart According to his wife, she was on the phone with
Speaker 1: him when he actually died
Speaker 0: and spoke with the person who attempted to resuscitate him. To make matters worse, posts circulating on Twitter and Facebook claimed that while Greason attempted to steal a portrait in the capital, suffered a heart attack after he repeatedly tased himself in the scrotum. So let's see how it went down. Look at This one pretending to be on the phone and ask anyone who's there. Did you have service?
No. They're trying to give CPR to Kevin Creason. I want you to notice where everyone is standing, just replacement. They're gonna take him away. And the guy carrying him, just smiling Make a hole.
Make a hole. I had a dollar. So they put him down and do it again. It's the same people. This is still Tyler Bagan's footage, who, by the way, sold his footage to Storyful and licensed to the New York Post.
Remember that blue tape? So this tells us they're right by 2 by the northwest entrance.
Speaker 3: National Guard out here.
Speaker 0: That's not the National Guard, y'all. Tyler Baggins, still lying through his crooked teeth. And now they Take them away. Parting to wonder where they're going. So now they cleared some space, because they're gonna set them down again one last time.
And, look, big national guard and sergeant pepper are here to assist again. What is going on? And Leggs is there too. Hey. It's Dilly.
So now they bring out the Stryker Pro XT Stretcher as the DC fire department attends to him. For clarity, we're not here to argue the fates of Greason and Phillips. But what are the chances that both of these men died of heart attacks in the same location at the same time and aided by the same people? Do they take him and the defibrillator away on a stretcher trolling? As fake National Guard and Sergeant Pepper lend a helping hand again.
Now let's do north and check-in with Angel Wall because we're gonna do a quick perimeter sweep. Oh, now they've erected the hydraulic wedge barriers. Oh, so that's where our real cops are.
Speaker 3: Let him go.
Speaker 0: As award winning filmmaker and 6 time Emmy nominated writer director, Michael Negrow makes his way to set. Back to Angel. Yep. Just waiting around in the cold for further instructions. Oh, we'll see him later.
Look at this shopping cart of Goodies. Because you're not coming to set without a Trump hat or a Trump flag as Angel enters the Southwest Channel. Keep moving up right there. Alright. We need everybody to fill in
Speaker 3: those holes so can see them.
Speaker 0: You'll see why the Southwest channel is so important for harboring our actors. See how they're all paired, placed in space. Yep. Just frozen like they're souls, Ready to mix in with the real Trump supporters. Even after 10 minutes, our bible friends are still here.
Jesus. Look who it is. Bull on a phone call looking all haggard. And look at this family on their marks. There's so much room to go in, but they Just stand around like the zombies they are, so let's go in further.
Oh, we've got some Oscar winning performances. At the same time, David there living his best lie. And this footage comes from photographer foe, Benjamin Diaz, who has a lot of experience capturing these staged events. Oh, Now our photographer joins us. Now Benjamin's gonna elicit some commentary from this man child.
Speaker 3: Thing that we should be focusing on Antifa,
Speaker 0: Whoop. More narrative building from children.
Speaker 3: We will not bend. We will not break. Cringey. Take a look at these people. Cringey.
Speaker 0: Where the hell was that? Remember this one, Bono and David's run out of things to do. Look at this guy. Just pop the gate right And they strike it, removing it from the set.
Speaker 3: La la la.
Speaker 0: It's to knob David's on his speakerphone.
Speaker 3: Listen to
Speaker 0: what he says. Oh, the way they're freaking mile back. And back to the main stage. The volcano brings out his best men. Oh, just a little nudge y.
Speaker 3: Who's that? I'll fuck you back.
Speaker 0: Whoo. When translated into Hey, babe. That's just a little tickle. Now another round of bury the treasure as we shift your focus to the camera crew. You know, the ones who capture the lie, then packaged and sent out to you for your attention.
Works every time. Snap, snap. Oop. Kano roiding out. Okay.
You see this woman in the background picking up hats And gloves, when they break, she goes around and clears the clutter from the front lines, because we don't want anyone to slip and hurt themselves. Hey. It's Fight Cop from Act 1. Yeah. Open your eyes, Americans.
And here, Amy Harris giving a little love tap to John Minkalo, who reciprocates Because they're all friends, just like the Republicans and Democrats. And this is a big reunion for all of our photographers, while Julio Rosas, Yeah. We see you. Looks for a more deceptive angle. And in comes water boy waving his flag.
Might be on the spectrum. And this cop's just laughing. Audience, please tell me. Do these Cops look like they fear for their lives. What is this?
Edie from Grey Gardens?
Speaker 3: Oh, you know what this is recording?
Speaker 0: Such a friendly insurrection. Still giggling like a little Cool, girl. Oh, you got the rosary out. Now I just need some garlic. Yeah.
Just smiley Savannah over here. Why do you think he's posing with the rosary like that? Alright. Let's pause right there for some context. Egypt 2012.
Speaker 3: What do you
Speaker 0: think this is?
Speaker 3: What do you
Speaker 0: think they're doing? Oh, getting the pictures. That's right. It's a Kate Babes photo shoot. And every time you see these kind of Pictures like this abroad.
They're all staged. All of them. I mean, hello, Afghanistan Taliban revival. Look, this guy forgot to die. Yeah.
Holding the bible open. Oh, so sad. Notice how all the signs are in English. It's because it's for you. And you'll notice here Morrissey's name is misspelled twice.
And upon further investigation, all of the protest signs appear to have been created by 1 person. We're gonna protest until the return of the legitimate president. Sound familiar? And here's some context for your context. Morsi had won Egypt's presidential elections in 2012 and by decree, had expanded his presidential authority and remove judicial review of his decree, which was approved in a national referendum with 33% of the electorate voting.
33. There's that in American. The opposition Claim fraud in the process and called for an inquiry. Jeez, where'd you hear that before? This resulted in, quote, violent clashes between pro and anti Morsi protesters.
And 6 months later saw the end of Morsi's presidency. Got the fake blood while the doctor checks a pulse. I bet there's one there. Later, Egyptian prosecutors charged Morsi. And during a court hearing on espionage charges, Morsi's final words were, my country is dear even if it depressed me, and my people are honorable even if they were unjust to me.
He collapsed a minute later and died. Nope. Not sketchy at all. Wonder if he was Dean, I'm just kidding. That guy's still alive.
These staged protests complete with crisis actors are happening in every country every single day. But why? Guys, these people are poor, and they don't know what they're doing. Now do you see how these picture poses relate to our capital friend? Same shit, different countries, same cabal.
And there's your context. Back to the clown show.
Speaker 3: You're right, man.
Speaker 0: So now we're on the east side of the Capitol. Where ain't much going on, Oh, we have some actors waiting. And back on the West Side, the camera pans to reveal. Blue, unmasked. Are you listening, Gateway Pundman?
So this is our time to get some Really brutal shots before all of our real Trump supporters show up because after this, they're gonna send all of our actors down into the courtyard area. Notice how no one reacts to the mace because it's water. This guy's job is to just wave the flag back and forth. This is not a Wim Hof meditation. Oh, god.
Oh, hudge getting up in there.
Speaker 3: Talking in these fries.
Speaker 0: Listen to what these 2 frat guys say.
Speaker 3: Fucking pet spray ass. Beat us. Fucking stumbags. Oh, shit. You guys are too pathetic.
Speaker 1: It's all fake, guys.
Speaker 0: And look at these brand new sweatshirts. No horns. Excuse me. How How
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 0: How is it? Oh, Unabomber. Little Fruity in the booty.
Speaker 3: Hey. Welcome to the front of the fucking line. Come here.
Speaker 0: Oh, Tae Tae taking the initiative. He's medical. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh. Guard. Looks like you have a little something in your cheek. Listen to what this cop says.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put you on hold.
Speaker 0: Anticipating some water sports?
Speaker 3: That's gonna make a hole in your lint real permanent.
Speaker 0: Oh, shouldn't that sting a bit? Look at this guy, Edie the water boy. Like, he's fighting his demons. Oh, we need a barricade over here, guys. Look.
Just standing around. Lot of waiting around, guys. Well, forgot your teaser, bruh. In here, have it back. So let's see what happens if someone's injured.
Oh, grandpa down. Grab your stuff. Grab your stuff. Where are we going? That's right, guys.
If you are injured, you will be removed from the set. Yeah. Get Yeah. Get him a medic, and they're gonna repurpose him. Background actor down.
Oh, look at this guy. Blow call. Fisted. This is pathetic. Got it.
Photo by John Meaglow.
Speaker 3: Hold on. Yeah. Just give
Speaker 0: him that fluoridated spritz. Come on. Woah. Grandma's down too. Quite literally.
And if you're wondering what that is in his pocket, Versie, the untold story behind the Vatican's rising influence in America. Yeah. Satanism. And now they take her away. It's a beautiful wig.
And just like that, the grandparents are out. Sponsored By Deer Park.
Speaker 3: That ain't not damn sense enough.
Speaker 0: That's what I keep saying.
Speaker 3: A bunch of fucking tires.
Speaker 0: Brian Sam's so eager for attention because that's his job. Amanda on drivey roads getting in the scene while he gets a selfie with Tay Tay.
Speaker 3: I want some talk today.
Speaker 0: As Data pans to Tay Tay.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great out here.
Speaker 0: Okay, Hey, Carson.
Speaker 3: It's going wonderful. Wonderful? It feels great.
Speaker 0: Bet those dollar signs coming your way are pretty great too. America. Strange.
Speaker 3: This is what real journalism is right here. What do you
Speaker 0: mean by real? And now he's off to Amy.
Speaker 3: How are you doing today?
Speaker 0: Yeah, Amy. How's your conscience holding up?
Speaker 3: Oh, I recognize you from Portland.
Speaker 0: And she shakes her head. You know you're not supposed to be talking to her, Tay Tay.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 0: And she ignores him. And he plays off the disc by repeating this narrative.
Speaker 3: We got Antifa here too. We got Antifa and Trump Supporters within the same vicinity, here for the same thing.
Speaker 0: You see this antifa arrows bit on the screen? Well, this footage belongs to Taylor Hanson. Get out. To implant the narrative. Think people.
I know they bring out that missing barricade. Eddy's still clinging to this water bottle.
Speaker 3: Why do
Speaker 0: you think he's just standing here? Because he's waiting for all the photographers to show, And here they are. Now they can proceed.
Speaker 1: Oh, they got the lumber.
Speaker 0: So they spray them down with a little turmeric water. Now they're gonna hose them down. Hey, Geesewine. If Tyler Baggins were here, he'd call this guy National Guard. He's gotten very clingy with ED.
Yep. Just guiding him like he's and Sullivan. I might have to Google it. Photographers look a little bit inconspicuous while they got Korn behind them, who's now become an asset. Here's a classic move.
See how he's backing up into the barricades so the cops can push him? Throw yourself to the cops, and they get the shots. As he backs it up, he's offered water, but Eddy's like, bro, there's water hidden everywhere. And when you push her, give me a. Put her back Back into it.
Give me a hi yeah. That's it. All this imitation Bonnie Bear has nothing to do. And there's Rachel Powell, who we'll see later, While Savannah hoards it all for herself, now they're gonna drag him back like that scene from ghost. Look at all that fake blood, dressing the set.
So they try to take water away, but he ain't having it because that's his life source. Maybe he has a condition. Maybe he'll make friends with grandpa who has all of the water. Oh, let's go down There. Look at this guy in the blue.
He's just gonna set the barricade back where it belongs. Now he's gonna pretend like he got sprayed, pours water right over his sunglasses, and then does it again. Aw. He got So serious. John Minkolo going down to bring some photog friends up.
And look at Pudge and all that k babing. But can you see what's next to him? It's John Minkolo. Remember what I said about our photographers being off limits? Well, something unexpected is about to happen to John Michelo.
In their story line, Michelo is literally dragged out from this area because protesters suspect him to be Antifa. But John, with his obvious press badge and cameras, has been there all day. It should also be noted that in six This month, Julio Cortez, who's filming this scene, and John Minkolo will both win the Pulitzer Prize for these images. So we believe that John is either in on it or he was set up. You decide for yourself.
Remember how to do that? Later. And now it's time for another great reset. And like Biden to a helpless miner, Hudge Can't let go.
Speaker 3: Let it go. Let it go.
Speaker 0: And now, Byte Cop has changed his appearance to the invisible man.
Speaker 3: And You're a good dad, blue. Say blue. You're a good dad.
Speaker 0: Yeah, Pudge. Take a break. Like Barbie. And below our star Kate Fade Botox, Brendan Goonschwager, Jacob Chansley has arrived to set as he climbs the media tower. So while our real Trump supporters file in during our reset, let's make some friends.
Watch this guy cave abing his little heart out when he sees the camera on him and self Cringes. Oh, getting a little shy in this one. Rita. Rita. Rita.
Rita. Guess she's done? What the hell happened to this guy? That guy must be friends with corn.
Speaker 3: You want a good picture going there with those guys? You're getting it up. You're getting it up. You can do it.
Speaker 0: You're never too old to deceive the American public.
Speaker 3: 3 or 4 weeks ago. Yeesh. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Speaker 0: Stop. Get a room. Get in the pics.
Speaker 3: Get in the room. Get in the room.
Speaker 0: So compelling.
Speaker 3: Thank God.
Speaker 0: Much Convincing. But more importantly, who the hell is that? Wearing shorts in January. And here's my favorite cave fave meltdown with David.
Speaker 3: They say back to blue. Back to blue. You know what black and blue is? Scared gushing my fucking eyes. That's the blue.
And what are you guys doing? You guys over here. You're not even fucking reporting on it. Where's the media? Where's CNN?
Where's Fox News?
Speaker 0: Oh, they're there, brother. Okay. No one's believing you're a Christian.
Speaker 3: Who are
Speaker 0: you trying to Oh, Yamaka. While they're resetting, let's do 1 more perimeter scan over here. Notice the lumber has increased. Notice this white patio umbrella. Doctor.
T having a smoke. Sees the camera and tries to hide it, and then freezes. And here we have a very, very special guest who we'll come back to later. And behind us, we have some fake help coming. Hoorah.
Let's follow them in, but we'll take a left where Angel Wash has a surprise for us back on the Southwest Channel. Flash bangs. I don't know. Settle green gas? Pretty scary.
Notice something? No one's taking any video. That's right. If you're on the Southwest Channel, no phones. And our bible bandits, yep, still faithfully cemented to their spots.
It's an insurrection resurrection. Is there any copyrights on prayers? I'm not sure. But here comes some Trump, okay. The giant Trump flag.
And here they come with the giant Trump flag. Who's that? Oh, and there's Bono escorting the flag in. Now they crowd surfed the giant flag. Oh, fun.
All the way to the cops. There's Bono. Yeah. Teamwork makes the scheme work. And there it is, another mini show for the kids.
Well, that was uneventful. Now let's move back over to the Washington Monument where Jade Sacker And John Sullivan slash Jaden begin their pilgrimage to the production. Sullivan is one of our major fall guys. You know, the sole reason why people believe Antifa infiltrated the protests. But look How late he's arriving.
Speaker 3: They're going inside. They're about to break inside that capitol building.
Speaker 0: Remember, John Sullivan knows what's gonna happen while his lady friend, Jade, who's filming Sullivan for an apparent Netflix Special is left in the dark.
Speaker 3: They broke inside.
Speaker 0: Oh, no. They haven't. They're just waiting for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No. I I wanna get in too. Oh, yeah. I'm going up.
Mom going all the way to the top.
Speaker 0: Don't spoil all of it. Now they're gonna get their gear ready here on the northwest launch.
Speaker 3: Jade, hold hold this here. Nope.
Speaker 0: Can't you see she's busy working for Netflix?
Speaker 3: Thanks for the help.
Speaker 0: Oh, sass.
Speaker 3: Mom, take me to keep you safe. Okay. Well, I don't care.
Speaker 0: Okay. Teenager angst coming from a grown man. Wait. Do we have a code name? No.
Here it does. It's Jaden. So as we make our way up the northwest lawn, we Discover that there are multiple porta potties, and people are using them. We even have a sanitation station set up. How accommodating.
Not really sure how one could take a Shit amongst all the chicanery. So let's go deeper into the belly of the beast. Nope. Not talking about Bill Gates. Oh, what's going on over here?
Where's this guy coming from? And this Guy, go on. Get up in there, Jade. You're safe because you're surrounded by a bunch of distressed guys gonna come in the building? We already know the answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Let's go.
Speaker 0: Whoops. Spoiler alert. Back on the south side, everyone's Just waiting around again, but let's learn how to correctly move someone. So we see these cops leading this man out, and then they release. Yep.
More times than not. In the spotlight, we want to escort in a cave fave fashion. Then when no one's looking, we can drop it. And guess who's over yonder? It's Edie, the water boy, making new friends.
Still clutching his water. Back on the soft set Hey.
Speaker 3: Who do you work for?

Speaker 0: And there he is, our Special guest, Brian d Sicknick. Look at all healthy and calm as we direct your attention to this k fave photo shoot, some kind of tug of war with a ratchet trap. I guess that didn't work. Notice the controller of the scene, and they just give up. Now they retreat like the cowardly cops that they are.
Now we're gonna play that scene again because you were distracted. See this guy in the background with the umbrella? Yeah. Well, he's not happy with his size, so he's gonna upgrade and snatch up the white patio umbrella while this cub grabs a plank of lumber and hops over the retaining wall. And here, you can see a lot of our actors hanging out over there.
But why? Let's take a closer look. Yep. You guessed it. This is the break area, complete with interlocking rubber tiles for your comfort.
So when your feet start to hurt, you can come pop a squat. Now Let's go center stage. Bless you. Oh, Leetto's missing her DC patch. Well, don't look at it.

Speaker 0: All my cops are patch cotches. Whoopsie woes. So much for those instructions, and they just let them take it.
Speaker 3: What are you saying to pick up?
Speaker 0: Probably move back. No tokens.
Speaker 3: We're not officers here. Yeah. No shit.
Speaker 0: And over here by the northwest scaffolding. Oh, now we have a line here. And over here, watch this chick. She grabs the fire, mate. Oh, and then on her hand, sir, to the center.
Amanda on Dradi Rhodes getting in the scene. They're gonna set up this little scene for her. Oh, watch out. You know how those capital cops perish so easily.
Speaker 3: That guy just threw a fire
Speaker 0: Tyler Baggins manipulating, fabricating, everything. So watch what she's gonna do. She's gonna throw herself to the wolves. Remember when Edie, the water boy, did this? You throw yourself to the cops, and they get the shots, and she doesn't talk through the whole thing.
Makes for good dramatic photos.
Speaker 3: The good guys always dress like the bad guys in Star Wars movies.
Speaker 0: Cringe. Reset. Woah. Officer Wyso Syria. See this hand shoulder action?
File that under police tricks, remember this for act 3. Reset.
Speaker 3: Take a step back.
Speaker 0: Oh, Epps. Turns out to be a controller, not just an actor.
Speaker 3: We're not trying to get people hurt.
Speaker 0: That's what we've been Back on the east side, things are cooking up here. Still behind obstacle 1,
Speaker 1: but not for long.
Speaker 0: Meanwhile, the northwest scaffolding, welcome to obstacle 3. That's right. In about 30 seconds, our crisis actors are gonna breach it and climb to the top, where they'll meet obstacle 5. But first, midway, they must defeat obstacle 4.
Speaker 3: Let's get ready to cave
Speaker 0: ground, and there they go, and they just flutter up. Hey. There's happy. Look at this guy in the corner. Like, he's eating a box of bath salts.
Yeah. It's a bible and bath salt kinda Party. Now watch this guy. Yep. Holding the bible up for the cameras.
And there's Hawaii Proud Boys leader, Nick Oates. We'll come back to you later. And now Jacob Chansley has come down from his treehouse and, oh, incoming. Yep. Posing with the rosary.
Meanwhile, a cop Gives instructions to US Marine Corps war veteran slash digital and forensic reporter, Chris Jones. What the hell is that about? Inside, our actors are preparing to overcome obstacle 4. Now this footage comes from the New Yorker's veteran war correspondent, Luke Mogelson. Yeah.
It's just slap and tickle all over again. What is happening as Data gets it all? Hey. It's Lieutenant Trapper and Carl doing nothing. At the same time, notice this cop pops through the tarp to ask Ranger for the knife that's lying here so he can cut it, which will allow for more people to enter and further expose the scaffolding to our photographers.
Now Ranger's gonna assist him in completing the task at hand. Such a beautifully coordinated insurrection. Rawlion lumber.
Speaker 3: I've turned my feet down. Oh.
Speaker 0: As Dominic Pizola prepares for his dramatic role as fall guy 3. And now they're gonna hold here, an obstacle 4.
Speaker 3: I got a star for the south, goddamnit. This is all hell, motherfucker.
Speaker 0: Meanwhile, on the northwest lawn, Jonesy instructs his followers from a stage of rental chairs that he paid for.
Speaker 3: It's great that this happened.
Speaker 0: It's great? Oh, what was that? Yeah. Let's watch how many times he pledges his allegiance while he delivers these lines. Kinda like he's Santa Claus.
Speaker 3: Charge to the other side. That's where Trump's gonna go.
Speaker 0: Just ginning up the crowd with empty promises. Per usual, question, how many bodyguards does it take to lift the beach well from a stage made of folded chairs? Now let's check-in one last time with Angel Walsh over We're at the Southwest Channel entrance. I had to run away because there was a big lab boom, and then there was some green gas. See all those people in the background in line waiting for turn to go.
Have any of y'all ever been a background actor? Yeah. Looks just like this. All actors, not recording. Now these are our filler characters.
They're mostly here to chant and take up space. So that's 1 group. Now another group comes in. You want to bring them in organically in waves. So if you are an actor and you see a camera on, you're gonna do what this little girl does.
You're gonna show off your little sign. Creepy. Oh, you don't think they would employ children? Okay. You've got a lot to learn.
Okay. We saw your damn sign, kid. They're all just standing there waiting for their turn. And they just keep on coming.
Speaker 3: You're going up on the line.
Speaker 0: Notice how they're all coming from the right, instead of cutting through where this gap is. Because we want to make it seem like these people walk from Pennsylvania Avenue. And nobody's going to get into character until they arrive. That's why they all look so dead inside. Remember how we said earlier the summoning was part of the show?
What is it right here? And look what the crack dragged in. It's Mike Cernovich.
Speaker 3: I'm not going in. Going up on the lawn and Push forward as far as you can.
Speaker 0: Now before we go, let's take a closer look at our line of background actors that extends north from the Garfield Monument to the Ulysses s Grant monument. And remember, the street closest to the Garfield Monument, First Street Southwest, and Southwest Drive have been restricted from our public for years. Yep. All these folks still waiting to go in. These are all paid protesters, people.
Look at the line. And that concludes our southwest analysis with Angel Walsh. We were very grateful to find this footage. We thank you and your husband for capturing it. Back on the east side.
Oh, we've got a little commotion. And what, pray tell, Do you think was carried on this truck bed? Notice this cardboard tube for later. And they just pull the barricades down here on the south terrace, while the cops do what they do best, retreat. It's not every day that you see Chinese grandmas contributing to your mass programming.
Speaker 2: Wow. What a shit show at the capitol. I'm gonna go ahead and guess stop Being so gullible wasn't anyone's New Year's resolution for 2021. How the hell do people keep falling for this shit? Here's a video of the kerfuffle that happened between the protesters and the cops when they got past the barricades.
Speaker 3: Police are swaddling with protesters. Oh, there we go.
Speaker 2: Swaddling. Maybe they stormed it.
Speaker 3: Maybe they walked right in.
Speaker 0: And that's exactly what they do. From the northeast to the south plaza, obstacle one is complete. Push those barricades. See this cop tugging on Kool Aid Man, drops his flag never to retrieve it, just To slow it down, to whisper sweet nothings. While these cops fake retreat, notice this massive stash of water.
Yep. As they keep pouring in from all sides. Retreat. Retreat. 3.
At the same time and with impeccable timing, Jonesy and his disciples make their way towards the east. Come on, Jonesy. You know there are kfabe cops.
Speaker 3: We just showed up. Trump's taking them. Alright. We'll take them up there. Right.
That's fine. Pallet's up
Speaker 0: there. Voices. Yeah. Go make us all look like freak shows, Jonesy. At 2 o'clock, C SPAN sets up a live camera in statuary hall, which we've added a time code to.
Also, on December 22, in 2021, the Goopamate will release 3 hours of the arc entrance tunnel footage, which also begins at 2 PM. And there's the time code. Meanwhile, our actors make their way towards the east steps. Simultaneously, notice this guy placing water bottles around the perimeter, like it's an Easter egg hunt. And there it is.
Yep. Spaced and placed. And here, our east side actors are met with obstacle 2. Meanwhile, things are getting really explosive out by the scaffolding. Watch out, Take Take.
Speaker 3: Woah. Hey. Hey. Fire. Hey.
You're on fire. Oh, shit. It's good. Woo hoo. How you feel?
Oh. This man just got light on fire.
Speaker 0: I love the fact that Taylor Hanson delivered these lines holding a lit cigarette. Now as he retreats, a cattle of k babe cops arrive, where on the megaphone, they play this message.
Speaker 3: What are you doing? What are
Speaker 0: Yeah. What is he doing? You get them shots, Joseph Prezioso. Hey. Here's one for you.
Notice this guy comes from the crowd to take a load off because he's Setting up their next shot.
Speaker 3: They got themselves.
Speaker 0: Meanwhile, over on the northwest lawn, AKA Heart Attack Hillside, notice our Stunt guy, homeboy, climbing up. We've got ass crack for days while we entertain the kitties with another show. Oh, but just a little love tap sends him to the ground. Because our Dogs, walk and load. Tay Tay, I can see your price tag.
So this guy in red, Bossy, is tending to homeboy while our cops play Seam Walkers, While Lakes and Dilly, just standing there like a couple of butlers. Whoops. Some shady shit going on behind that tree. Notice this oddly placed Rubbermaid container. While Rufio from act 1 records nothing, they're off using a barricade as a makeshift stretcher.
Oh, but not before sending him down for the camera crew to photo rape him. Satisfied, Bossie and his team of cops resume their journey. See this death 2 type? Yeah. Not us.
Yep. Still Taylor's footage. Get those Picked. And this footage, news to share, comes from, quote, photographers, Alejandro Alvarez and Ford Fisher. And y'all can see for yourselves the other events they've covered.
Now bicop looking more like himself taunts our paid protesters, as Sabrina Taverniz follows our stunt guide towards the northwest backstage area. But listen to what Bossy says to This real person.
Speaker 3: Hey, Higgins. Hey. I'm gonna break this fucking bone with no shot.
Speaker 0: And strangely enough, Adam Gray opens the gates. So Sabrina's got her shots, and she, together with Amanda Andrade Rhodes, find the northwest lawn in search of something juicy. And along the way, we meet our friend, Vincent.
Speaker 3: They They they they hit me with bullets.
Speaker 0: Oh, bless your heart. Back to Heart Attack Hillside, where Dilly's well on his way to having one. What is happening? Just a little spritz as she traipses away. But, oh, watch out.
Really puts the k in karma as yellow from act 1 coming down the runway with some Cape Charisma.

Now they just single file right onto the north entrance, back inside the scaffolding, where we are only seconds from defeating obstacle 4. Hey, there's happy. And in this overused clip, is about to make some money. Oh, he's got the hammer.
Too bad he doesn't use it.

And a real cop tackles him to the ground, and with the help of his real cop friends, arrest entertain them.

Alright. Carl's over it. Retreat, you counterfeit cops. My my. Look at this surplus of neatly placed water and this Classic rolling toolbox.
Wonder what's in there. Maybe the fake collection results. As we pan to one of our most important characters, we got The prize winning footage of the stage Rittenhouse shoot, phony protests photographer, Brendan Guten Schwager, who's about to have a payday. Get those purified waters, which is just a fancy way Saying fluoridated water. Oh, fake blood littering.
I can't believe this is reality. Yeah. Me neither. As data and friends move from the court yard to the northwest door where some of our crisis actors are looking for some critique. So let's help them out starting with geese wides.
Yeah. I would've put a little bit more soul into it. Next, try the left one. Good job. Honey, that's that's real glass.
Don't just stop. And now we pan to Pizzola in the most overused mainstream media clip of the Capitol riots Filmed by none other than Goonchwag, who sold his footage to Storyful. They always do. And with that, let's stop our investigation here at 2:12 PM. Oh, you're so sweet.
Alright, semadana. Now everything we've learned today will wrap up quite Nicely in act 3, our final installment on the January 6th fake surrection. Friends, when we started this monster of a project two and a half years ago, we stubbornly We quit our jobs and lived off our savings, which lasted a whole 4 months. We've also been editing on a dinosaur of a computer, which is why this has taken so long.
Speaker 1: Needless to say, we are in
Speaker 0: danger of eviction and a little malnutrition. And we need your help to save Wooz News. Your contribution will aid us in paying a year's worth of Back rent, future rent, a new computer, and put some food on our table. So please consider donating to our channel using any of these platforms. Links are in the description box.
Now before we go, we'd like to introduce to you the creator of Wooz News, who wants
Speaker 3: to come
Speaker 0: out of the closet again. Rafael, can you hear me? What a marvelous introduction. Hi, I'm Rafa, and this is Woos. Yes, folks.
This is what I look like in 3 d.
Speaker 1: And if someone out there can
Speaker 0: make me look a little bit more realistic like this, please email us. Sir, Rafa, why are you choosing to reveal your identity now?
Speaker 1: Oh, the fact that I no longer wanted to hide, and of course, my protection.
Speaker 0: So why Woos News?
Speaker 1: I've been investigating these types of events for several years, you know, just for myself, because I have this incessant need to know the truth. And then, you know, of course, COVID started, and I just thought, you know, if I don't say something now, I may never get the chance to, but this show is really an homage to David Crowley and his family because, truth be told, David is, one of my greatest heroes. And, you know, I just I wanted to pick up that torch that was taken from him and and just run with it.
Speaker 0: Yes. And for those of you who are unaware, David Crowley became a prominent name during the 2012, 2013 truth movement when he created the viral trailer for Grey State, which I would have just called a taste of things to come if we don't get right with Jesus. Sadly, David and his Family were murdered a year later. And despite the lack of evidence, the media as well as the Apple Valley Police Department will have you believe it was a homicide suicide.
Speaker 1: Case closed. And when I complete act 3, I'm jumping right back on to the Crowley caves.
Speaker 0: And speaking of David Crowley, for your protection, Rafa, we just have to ask
Speaker 1: that age Old question. No, I would never kill myself
Speaker 0: or anyone else.
Speaker 1: Yes, never. I am a lightworker, bro.
Speaker 0: And shout out to the other 143,000 light workers across Tarafira. Hala! Any drug addictions and pensions small children?
Speaker 1: No, never. We had to ask. Oh, believe me, I get it. It's just me sitting in a chair for 12 hours a day for the last two and a half years working on this ancient Imac, yeah, I've lost a lot of weight doing this project, but I just had to tell this story. I've been working on Wooz News for the last 4 years now pro bono, and it's come to where we need the help of the people.
So anything you can do to Assist me in getting act 3 out there would be greatly appreciated. I know they will, good sir.
Speaker 0: Calling all patriots Sugar daddies and mamas. Right? But something
Speaker 1: I wanted to quickly mention before we go in regards to January 6th, you know, Not everyone who is facing trial and jail time is a crisis actor. You know, there are some good people who went to DC because they vehemently opposed tyranny. And yes, I do believe the presidential elections are a ruse against the American people, but it's it's irrelevant because these people had good intentions. And over the last 2 years, I've come to know one of those good guys. His name is Alan Hostetter.
And, yeah, I would consider this guy to be a personal hero of mine as well because Allen single handedly organized one of the 1st anti lockdown protests in the country. And that following Sunday, unbeknownst to Allen,
Speaker 0: That 2nd protest was swarmed
Speaker 1: with informants like Russ Taylor, who testified against Allen in July and lied to the order of the mole judge, Royce Lambert, That Alan brought a hatchet to the Capitol grounds on 6th. And during the trial where Alan defended himself told the Masonic judge that he believed January 6th Was a federal setup involving crisis actors wearing costumes. Allen was found guilty and is now facing 10 to 20 years in federal prison as he awaits to sentencing in October 2023. I just wanted everyone to know his story for his protection and to keep him in your prayers because he's all alone. And, You know, I know he would appreciate your love and encouragement.
Speaker 0: You know, Rafa, I believe these lines pretty much sum this up. Chew it, boys. Thank you for all of your hard work, Rockwell. We have your back, buddy. God bless you, Moose.
See you in the next one.

The To properly understand the events that would soon unfold, it's important to acknowledge that there were many areas of interest that day where crowds were congregating. Those attending president Trump's speech assembled at the Ellipse, a 52 acre park located directly south of the White House and Elsewhere in Washington DC, crowds would assemble in the morning at both the west and the east side of the capitol.
Still others would loiter in the vicinity to await the next event that would take place that day, of which there were multiple permit holders in the area. At 11:41 AM, Ryan Samsel, a man who will later be pivotal in the first breach of the capital, crosses the street past multiple uniformed officers. Seconds later, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, wearing plain clothes, is seen crossing the same intersection. Sherwin would go on to lead the investigations of Samsel and hundreds of others. 4 minutes later, the same officer whose body cam recorded that interaction is moving through the crowd responding to a call of a person with a gun.
The crowd is compliant as the officers move through the space. They reach their intended target, and after a few minutes of questioning, let the man go. He had no firearm and was only carrying a knife.
Speaker 1: Someone saw that handle, they thought it was a handgun.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3: This is my car. Okay?
Speaker 2: It's a no way.
Speaker 3: Questions or issues. Yeah. Alright. Be safe. Thank you.
You too. You
Speaker 1: guys be safe.
Speaker 0: President Trump took the microphone at 12:0:1 PM.
Speaker 4: Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I when I turned on today, I looked and I saw thousands of people here, but you don't see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don't wanna show that.
Speaker 0: The president gave a speech that morning that was very similar in tone and in style to the many campaign speeches and post election speeches he had given to audiences around the country.
Speaker 3: I'm listening to the speech in my ear, thanks to Scott.
Speaker 0: At the exact time that Trump begins his speech, a live streamer is at Peace Circle at the precise location that the first capital barricade breach will occur 53 minutes later. You can see the metal bike rack fencing separating the street from the sidewalks in front of the capitol building. These area closed signs were posted in compliance with a restriction that went into effect September 7, 2020, due to the construction of the inauguration stage. At 12:0:4 PM, a group of demonstrators, including members of the Proud Boys, are seen walking west on Constitution Avenue toward First Street while being flanked by police officers from the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Speaker 3: Well, we're We're being flanked by the DCP. 63,000,000.
Speaker 0: 15 minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the Capitol. For context, let's hear the president's full remarks during this portion of his speech.
Speaker 4: Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk down. We're gonna walk down anyone you want, but I think right here, we're gonna walk down to the capitol, and we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not gonna be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong.
We have come to demand that congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes following these remarks, the group of Proud Boys and demonstrators seen previously being flanked by the DCMPD have stopped for lunch at a row of food trucks in front of the US Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue. Eddie Block, seen here in a scooter, tells a live streamer the immediate plans of the group.
Speaker 5: Where, where
Speaker 3: are we headed? We're heading back to the route. Oh, okay. Okay. Good time.
Yeah. Alright.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes after this interaction, at 12:30 PM, the US Capitol Police report a very large group heading to the Capitol from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue at approximately Seventh Street.
Speaker 3: Cruise are good, It does look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge ending east.
Speaker 0: At the same time, police body cam records police intervening between Trump supporters and a counter protester. The police encourage the crowd to keep marching toward the capitol.
Speaker 3: Come on, guys. Let's keep the march going.
Speaker 6: Let's keep it going. Let's keep it it going.
Speaker 0: President Trump won't be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another 40 minutes. During this time, a man named Ray Epps was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the capitol building.
Speaker 3: As soon as president Trump is finished speaking, we are going to the capital in that direction. That's where our true problems lies. President Trump is done speaking. We are going to the capital. That's where our problem we are going to the Capitol.
Where our problems are. It's not direction.
Speaker 0: He was filmed the night prior, urging the crowd to go inside the capitol.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put it out there. I'm probably gonna go to jail for it.
Speaker 3: Okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the capital. Into the capital.
Speaker 0: The crowd surrounding him instantly calls him out as a fed. At 12:35 PM, Mike Pence's motorcade is seen heading to the capitol, turning left on Constitution Avenue from Louisiana Avenue.
Speaker 3: Call yourself. Anybody stay back. Stay back, please. Alright. Let's go.
Stay back.
Speaker 0: A minute later, at 12:30 6, vice president Mike Pence arrives at the US Capitol. The vice president's motorcade has just arrived at the Capitol in advance of the joint session. The certification is to begin in 24 minutes at 1 PM Eastern. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the east plaza of the Capitol. At this exact moment, President Trump is mentioning Mike Pence's upcoming certification at his speech on the Ellipse over a mile away.
Speaker 4: But now they see all this stuff. It's all come to life. Doesn't happen that fast. And they wanna recertify their votes. They wanna recertify.
But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: A minute later at 12:45 PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the capitol. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway, a path that leads directly to the west side of the capital. There are 2 sets of metal barricades here, behind which only 5 capitol police officers can be seen guarding this entrance while every member of congress convenes in the building behind them. And waves the crowd onto the west lawn of the capital, while members in the crowd shout at him. With this view, you can see the moment that the first set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the second set of gates.
Ryan Samsel, who we saw earlier in white hoodie and red baseball cap, approaches the police line. This would become the first major breach of the Capitol grounds grounds and skirmish with Capitol Police. We will show this crucial interaction in its entirety and use multiple angles to see what happens at this all important flash point. Ray Epps, who we just saw calling for demonstrators to enter the capital, can be seen approaching the front of the barricades and speaking to Ryan Samsel. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line.
After the gate is forcefully pushed forward, US Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards is knocked to the ground. Ryan Samsel immediately runs to her aid to help her get back on her feet. The first violent skirmish of the day between demonstrators and police had begun. President Trump remains speaking on the Ellipse.
Speaker 4: In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification machines were purposely lowered before they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa Claus, it would go through.
Speaker 0: Just to the south at the First Street Southwest in Maryland Avenue Circle, demonstrators knocked down a second gate. Crowds are now advancing on the west front of the capitol from 2 locations. Open. With multiple lightly manned police barricades down, the enlivened crowd makes their way quickly to the next barrier, the metal gates in front of the west plaza of the capital. Samsel can be seen tapping the shoulder of officer Edwards Edwards and saying something to her.
Looking over the west side of the capital from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the west plaza. From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol grounds may have seen no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. At 12:58 PM, the lightweight fencing on the west lawn is pulled down completely by a single person. It is on this fence that signs with the words area closed are affixed. Thousands of people who will walk up to the capitol after 1 PM will never see these signs.
Zooming in closer to the northwest corner of the plaza, we once again see Ray Epps at the head of the crowd, in front of the next set of police barricades. So far, we've seen him the previous day calling for the crowd to enter the capital. We saw him that morning directing people to the capital. We saw him at the 1st gate reach, and now here he is at the 2nd major gate reach. And it won't be the last we see him.
Directly in front of him is where the crowd reaches the metal gates and enters onto the west plaza of the capital. At 12:59 PM, a man on the northwest sidewalk collapses.
Speaker 1: Can you please have someone respond to my location? The bottom of the west side with an individual that's down here unconscious and not breached.
Speaker 0: The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania who traveled to DC to support president Trump. A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life saving measures. While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, inside the capitol, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes. President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that is already amassed at the capitol.
Speaker 4: Is there evidence that tens of thousands of votes were switched from president Trump to former vice president Biden.
Speaker 7: Madam speaker, members of congress, pursuant to the constitution and the laws of the United States, the senate and the house of representatives are meeting in joint session. Verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors of the several states for president and vice president of the United States.
Speaker 0: Back outside on the west plaza, United States Capitol Police Deputy Chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I need less lethal teams that could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position. They're not compliant, climbing, stapling. Let me know when the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: 1 minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 1:0:6 PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I got a crowd fighting with officer, pushing, throwing projectiles. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the less than lethal teeth positioned above me to identify the agitators and start deploying. Launch. Launch.
Launch.
Speaker 0: US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek.
Speaker 3: You're You're shooting us.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're not. We need medical something.
Speaker 3: We got a call.
Speaker 0: Safety procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level.
Speaker 3: I was on the front line trying to to keep the peace between the patriot and the people that were hired by the government. And, I caught a shot to the face, and then, that's about it.
Speaker 0: Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 3: 6, I can't beat up. I need more Lee and Sesson leads our teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still, non compliant. We've continued to give, I've continued to give multiple warnings about, chemical munitions being released.
They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, no video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, officers must issue at least 3 clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system, as well as to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse and a clear safe route for dispersal. Just feet away, Benjamin Phillips fights for his life. He has been down on the ground and not breathing for 13 minutes.
Speaker 3: 1:30. Where's the ambulance for this guy on the lower west?
Speaker 0: President Trump is finishing his speech at the Ellipse at 1:12 PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around the capitol in real time.
Speaker 4: So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and god bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3: For Arizona.
Speaker 7: Is the objection in writing and signed by a senator?
Speaker 3: Yes. It is.
Speaker 0: As representative Paul Gosar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house, MPD officer Daniel Thau arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray Epps can be seen in the area that the police are trying to control. Back in the real time multi view, we can see Trump waving to the crowd after his one hour and 11 minute speech, the last speech he will give in front of a crowd as president of the United States. Gosar and Cruz are having their objections to the electoral vote vote of Arizona read on the house floor.
Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 3: Appreciate that. Appreciate it.
Speaker 0: At 1:13 PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 3: Hey. We need blast collision. What do we got? I'm panicking it. We gotta get something.
Speaker 0: At 1:15 15 PM, officer Thau crosses the line and engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges 2 rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD.
Speaker 3: True ACD deployment. True ACD.
Speaker 0: He then witnesses what he calls an APO or an assault on a police officer.
Speaker 3: APO, Kelly.
Speaker 0: With 30 officers between him and the crowd, it's unclear what assault he thought he saw in that moment. A few 100 feet away, back on the northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
Speaker 3: Thirty, they're hanging the patient up to the ambulance right now. They are refusing to come down.
Speaker 0: Tragically, Phillips would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. Benjamin Phillips leaves behind 2 teenage children. Back inside the capitol building at 1:17 PM, vice president Mike Pence and senators return to the senate chamber to debate the electoral vote challenge put forth by representative Paul Gosar. After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the west terrace of the capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd. The less lethal team fires into the crowd for a third time.
3 minutes later, at 1:21 PM, the first explosive mission of the day is discharged. The demonstrators at the west plaza of the capital will be hit by an unrelenting barrage of grenades, incendiary, rubber bullets, and gas for the next hour.
Speaker 3: We got another individual down.
Speaker 0: To by people in the crowd.
Speaker 3: They can't get anybody in here, and the cops are throwing flashbangs into the crowd.
Speaker 0: He is unresponsive for several minutes. Fearing the risk of trampling, they carry him to a different location where they continue to try to resuscitate him.
Speaker 3: He's been he's having
Speaker 2: a heart attack. He's been on the ground for 6 minutes. They carried him. They've been doing CPR.
Speaker 3: I think that man probably died. I hope they save his life.
Speaker 0: Kevin Greeson leaves behind a wife and 5 children. Around 1:30 PM on the southwest side of the plaza, officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour. Just inside the Capitol, representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from California, is responding to the challenge of the electoral count.
Speaker 8: The votes are simply to be counted as certified and transmitted by the states.
Speaker 0: At 1:32 PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just going to make things worse.
Speaker 3: It's just gonna make it worse. It's not. Hold. Hold fire. Hold fire.
Hey. Hold fire. Hold fire. Hey. Hold fire.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his mind and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd. A burner or hot burning smoke grenade can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 3: They come back with it? Can they throw fast? Okay.
Speaker 0: The smoke grenade is tossed back behind the police line by someone in the crowd.
Speaker 3: Eric, what's going on? Eric, do you have any scout rounds?
Speaker 0: Officer Thao goes back for more rounds. This time, it's a CS gas canister.
Speaker 3: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: A triple chaser consists of 3 separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart, allowing increased area coverage. After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, officer Thau appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier.
Speaker 3: I got a tripletaser on hold. Yeah. Be right back. I know. But this is tripletaser.
I know. But just splint it. I mean, I got this.
Speaker 0: Another captain tells officer Thao to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd. At around this same time, Ray Epps is once again caught from multiple cameras being at the front line of the demonstrators He walks freely up and down the police barricades multiple times, communicating with other demonstrators in a similar fashion to when we saw him whisper in Ryan Samsel's ear earlier before the first breach. At 1:38 PM, Donald Trump sends his first tweet after walking off the stage 24 earlier. It reads, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our country.
Stay peaceful. Around 1:40 PM, Ray Epps is one of the members of the crowd who helps lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the west plaza of the capitol. At 1:41 PM, body cam footage from officer Anthony Alioto records a discussion about the dangers of using CS gas in their situation. The The officer petitions not to have Robert Glover, the on scene commander, authorize use of CS gas in the area.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is
Speaker 2: do not blubber unauthorized
Speaker 3: gas. I know just that. Have the blubber.
Speaker 0: 8 minutes later, at 1:49 PM, a riot is officially declared at the US Capitol.
Speaker 3: We're gonna charge your compliance, but this is now, essentially, a riot. 49
Speaker 1: hours declaring it a riot.
Speaker 0: The fears of officer Alioto are soon realized when at 1:50 PM, officers use CS gas on the northwest side of the plaza, and effectively gas themselves with aid from the wind. You can see multiple officers struggling from the effects of the CS gas.
Speaker 2: Tina, be careful. It's blowing right back.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Okay. So It's in
Speaker 1: my eye.
Speaker 3: You want it? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Don't rub it.
Speaker 0: Over on the east side of the Capitol, the gates have successfully held the crowd back for over an hour from when the west side was first breached. At 1:59 PM, that all changes. The demonstrators overpower the police and begin to make their way toward the East Steps.
Speaker 9: Police are squabbling with protesters. Oh, there we go. And they just reached the capital again.
Speaker 0: Back on the northwest side of the capital, a man named Derek Vargo is ascending to the west terrace on the outside railing of the stairway. He is sprayed in the eyes with an inflammatory agent. Vargo reacts by heading back down the way he came when he is shoved off the wall by officer Bryant Williams, leading to a 25 foot drop. Some will call this an attempted murder. Vargo is carried away on a makeshift stretcher by officers and bystanders.
Fargo suffered a fractured ankle and extensive midfoot injuries that would require surgeries to repair. He lives with constant foot pain, pain in the middle of his spine, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder that causes him flashbacks and nightmares of being pushed off the railing. At 2 03 PM, the first dispersal order is heard coming from a mobile LRAD or long range acoustic device. DC law requires police to give 3 separate warning with the LRAD system and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or conditions to clear a protest crowd. At 2:0:6 PM, police retreat up the east steps of the capitol.
Demonstrators soon follow and ascend the steps. We hear the LRAD again at 2:0:7 PM. Dare to comply with this order, may subject you to arrest. It's unlikely that demonstrators heard either of these warnings given the situation on the plaza, which calls into question the earlier stated DC law that requires these announcements to be clearly audible and to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse. Back on the east side of the capitol at 2:0:9 PM, Hunter Emke is seen kicking in and punching multiple windows.
He is quickly tackled and detained by police. At 2:10 PM, demonstrators reached the west terrace and pushed through police barricades. They will quickly move to what will become the first points of entry to the interior of the capital. A man throws a 2 by 4 through a glass pane. The first such window on the west side of the Capitol.
Shortly thereafter, Dominic Pizola pushes the window in using a police riot shield. Protesters will soon enter the building through these breach points. At 2:12, Ray Epps sends a text message to his nephew telling him that he orchestrated the protest at the capitol and that he helped get people there. The video evidence we have seen thus far would back up his claim. At 2:13 PM, president Trump tweets, I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful.
No violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order. Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza of the capital, officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd. This crowd management round contains approximately 18 rubber balls.
Speaker 6: Alright. I need a
Speaker 3: round. Good, CS.
Speaker 0: 30 seconds later, he's given a baton round, a round that contains 3 40 millimeter rubber projectiles. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 10: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule 1.
Speaker 0: At 2:16 PM, the parliamentarian doors are open from the inside, providing another access point for demonstrators to enter the building. Down on the west plaza, officer Thao refers to police activity as quote, shooting zombies.
Speaker 3: Alright. We're completely Graham.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 10: Without objection,
Speaker 3: police body cam picks up a tense
Speaker 0: conversation among officers, where police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers, where one officer admits that they're hitting innocent people.
Speaker 3: And and not only that, we're taking out 1 and 10 of them are getting reindeer. It's it's we're multiplying them by hitting them.
Speaker 0: At 2:24 PM, John Earl Sullivan is recording as he is one of the first of the demonstrators to enter the Capitol rotunda.
Speaker 3: 2021, y'all. This is insanity. Holy what is this? What is life?
Speaker 0: At the same time, a few blocks away, MPD officers are discussing new plans to enter the capital to support US Capitol Police.
Speaker 3: They're gonna burn that building down. Down. That's fine. And we'll figure it out. Alright.
They better reach out to the military right now is what they better do. Get the national guards to get up
Speaker 0: down here.
Speaker 3: You know, we're, we're suiting up. We're going in. We are? Yes. Way.
Damn. Right now hear that?
Speaker 0: Still at 2:24 PM, Mike Pence has moved from the senate chamber to his office across the hall. The senate remains in session as senator for Kentucky Mitch McConnell speaks on the floor. Also, at 2:24 PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth. This would be a significant tweet to the January 6th committee, for they claimed that it was the motivation for a surge into the capital complex.
Speaker 11: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 2:24 PM tweet, the crowds both outside the Capitol and inside the capitol surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6th committee failed to mention was that it was officers misusing munitions and CS gas at that same time that led to a
Speaker 3: surge. I ripped. Put it on the down.
Speaker 0: DC MPD officer Cowry, at the urging of officer Thau, misfires a CS gas canister that eventually forces police to fall back and lose their position. As officers on the west plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the west plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within 3 minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the west plaza entirely collapses. Back on the east side at 2:24 PM, demonstrators are able to force open doors from the inside.
These are the Columbus doors, which lead a short way to the rotunda of the capitol. Back outside on the west plaza, an elderly woman is violently pushed by police down a set of concrete stairs three times, which incites the crowd around her.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that? Yeah. We're trying to make it to, to Hennepin Gardens. We're going in. Alright.
We
Speaker 1: Down in long guns? What do
Speaker 3: you mean? Yes. Straight up. Any any munitions you have, CDU.
Speaker 0: At 2:28 PM, in an interesting exchange, a press photographer on scene at the east entrance of the Capitol taps a demonstrator on his hip and shoulder to move him out of the way so he can presumably get a better shot of the action. Back out on the south side of the west plaza, a demonstrator is taken down by 6 police officers. He receives multiple punches while in a face down prone position. At 2:30 PM, a security camera at the crypt lobby shows demonstrators gaining access to the capital via overhead lift doors. At this same time, the house is called into final recess.
Speaker 10: Without objection, the house is gonna go back into recess.
Speaker 0: At 2:31 PM, Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser orders a curfew from 6 PM that evening to 6 AM the following morning. At 2:33 PM, a frustrated police officer can be heard venting about being, in his words, set up.
Speaker 10: They set up a up. That's what they did.
Speaker 3: They set up. They set up 64. Oh, absolutely. And then they asked you to come in 2 hours later. They set us up.
I'm a be as real as I it can be. We are going to get overrun on
Speaker 7: the steps of the capital right now.
Speaker 3: We're getting hammered. Okay? If you guys go down there, the paint compliance is working very minimally. There's 10,000 to 1. You're gonna lose the steps, and we're getting people hurt like a mother.
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the west side of the Capitol while police officers watch them walk through the doors. Just feet away at 2:30 5 PM, minutes after losing the west plaza, officer Alioto throws a gas canister from the west terrace into the crowd that has a mast on the west plaza. This, along with other gas canisters sent into the crowds, gets thrown back at the officers. Most of these officers still do not have gas masks. At the same time on the west terrace, officers are repeating the same mistakes they made one level lower on the west plaza.
An errant CS gas round is again fired into their held position on the west terrace. The spreading gas will eventually effectuate a retreat back into the capital through a narrow tunnel. This mistake would prove to be incredibly significant for the events that are yet to come. The retreat into the capital through the West Terrace tunnel would create the conditions for the next standoff between demonstrators and police that would take place over the following hours. Instead of showing force outside of and retreating to a defensive posture.
At 2:39 PM, Metropolitan Police Department reinforcements arrive at the capitol, entering through the east carriage door. At the same time, police officers discussed being unprepared for what they encountered.
Speaker 3: I didn't know we are coming up for this. I wanna make sure we all had our mask. I didn't realize how bad I they set us up to fail. They did. There was no way we were winning that.
And you've now you got at least 4 platoons that are just gassed out. Yeah. Literally. Because us, 54, doesn't have masks. Yeah.
Well, remember, we're supposed to be rapid response just to buy time for any more influencers to come. They didn't come. They didn't ask for him. Who cares about the street? Like, why orderize?
Get yes. Secure the capital.
Speaker 0: At 2:42 PM, journalist Taylor Hanson is walking behind Ashley Babbitt, an air force veteran from California, as she turns a corner and approaches the speaker's lobby guarded by 3 police officers. MPD officer Luke Foskett approaches a window and looks out upon the crowd on the western side of the capitol building.
Speaker 3: You're alive. Right? Yeah.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Moments later, members of the house seek shelter in the gallery while officers barricade entry into the chamber. It is at this moment that the only firearm to be discharged inside the capitol that day can be loudly heard. The story of that gunshot is quite possibly the most tragic story of that day. Go.
Go to
Speaker 3: the gun. Go to the gun. Go to the gun. Hey. He's got a gun.
Hey. He's got a gun.
Speaker 0: The shot heard was a single round fired by lieutenant Michael Byrd. It strikes Ashley Babbitt in the neck, and she falls back into the upper landing of the stairwell.
Speaker 3: They just killed the girl. They just They just He's gotta go right
Speaker 1: One shot in the capital. Report of a shooting in the capital. Trying to ascertain information now.
Speaker 0: At 2:46 PM, approximately the same time as Ashley Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police officer Byrd, a series of smoke and signal flares are activated at various locations around the Capitol.
Speaker 3: Flare. Some kind of a flare in the sky there.
Speaker 0: As the smoke clears, we again spot Ray Epps leaving the area and flanked by several individuals before leaving the capitol grounds for the day. Meanwhile, demonstrators continue to enter the capitol building. The first demonstrator enters the senate chamber.
Speaker 10: We're here.
Speaker 1: Senate 7, we got protesters that are outside of the, senate chamber.
Speaker 0: Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the senate chamber will become a significant location of the day along with the capitol rotunda, And the West Terrace Tunnel. Prior to this point in the day, many demonstrators were free to roam the hallways
Speaker 2: The police here are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our 1st amendment allowed. Gather for Americans under the condition that they will come and gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country.
Speaker 0: Capitol police officer Robichaux asks a small group of demonstrators to remain peaceful. Show us no attack, no assault, remain calm. We're not going to stop, and that's what we're going to do.
Speaker 3: This has to be peaceful. We have the right to peacefully assemble.
Speaker 0: Robichaud then proceeds to escort at least one demonstrator, Jacob Chanceley, throughout various locations in the capital. At 2:46 PM, additional demonstrators continue to enter the senate chamber. Security footage shows no Capitol Police presence in the senate chamber at this time. At this point in the day, many of the demonstrators on the outside have no idea the Capitol has even been breached. Let's go back to the multi view to see what's going on around the capitol grounds.
On the southeast side, a group of MPD officers arrived to assist capitol police with clearing out the inside of the capitol.
Speaker 1: 1.52 ground. We're sending NPD through the south door of the Capitol. There's about 25 units in hard gear.
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza, an enormous American flag has been draped over the scaffolding. On the east side of the capitol, demonstrators have overtaken the stairs and continue to gather on the lawn. Back in the rotunda at 2:48 PM, we see demonstrators peacefully roaming around and taking photographs. The only law enforcement officers visible are standing in the doorway. As demonstrators continue to roam the hallways, one officer has a concerning realization.
Back at the West Terrace tunnel, a demonstrator activates a fire extinguisher into the tunnel towards dozens of law enforcement officers.
Speaker 3: Security steps.
Speaker 4: Right now. No. No.
Speaker 3: Wait. Okay. Because we gotta get numbers. Yeah. I'm seeing stars right now.
Speaker 0: Inside the senate chamber, demonstrators are rummaging through desks looking for intel.
Speaker 1: Subjection to the Arizona's objection.

Speaker 0: At 2:55 PM, law enforcement begins to move demonstrators out of the capitol from various locations.
Speaker 10: You need to give up communism is what you need
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 10: You need to give up communism to protect these
Speaker 3: people. You're
Speaker 8: patriots. Sir.
Speaker 3: This shit is so big.
Speaker 4: How much it cost for you to
Speaker 0: But they continue to struggle to control the rotunda and west plaza tunnel. Richard Barnett, the demonstrator who posed for this photo in house speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, attempts to persuade an officer to let him back in to retrieve his flag.
Speaker 1: 4 18 Frank's are informational. I have a group of about 20 to 30 officers that are cordoned off on the south side of the front of stairs. We're just gonna hold the line over here so we get some kind of control on this crowd. There's no enforcement we can take at this time.
Speaker 3: Hey. Hey. Hey, man. Glad to see you guys.
Speaker 5: You guys are fucking patriots.
Speaker 3: Look at this guy. He's got heaven and blood.
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 3: You good, sir? Do you need medical attention? I'm good. Thank you,
Speaker 0: Jacob Chansley takes a seat at the senate dais. He decides to leave a note for vice president Pence.
Speaker 3: Anything else? Now that you've done that, can I get you guys to walk out Thank you, heavenly father, for giving us this opportunity? Please help me. Thanks, sir. Happy father.
Amen. Sir, I have 70 5 people inside the senate chambers just for information. They are going through desks and on top of podium.
Speaker 0: Back at the rotunda,
Speaker 3: Alright. 4 zero one. Just deposit units outside the door. We've we've got c u one squad. Sending all these individuals out of the rotunda.

Thank you, officer. God bless you, Matthew. Thanks for your patience. We really appreciate it. That is glorious, you person.
Isn't it? Yeah. Freedom.
Speaker 0: Back at the scuffle at the West Terrace tunnel, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Leading up to the tunnel are a series of steps that demonstrators are having trouble navigating. It is a very tense and dangerous situation in this area. For over an hour, the police have been inside the building, behind the inner doors, while demonstrators have occupied the tunnel.
Speaker 1: 405 John is advising they need additional acid pain.
Speaker 0: At 3:19 PM, the police successfully expel the demonstrators from the tunnel. During the skirmish, a US Capitol Police officer is dragged into the crowd of demonstrators. He is later returned to the police line and heads back to safety inside the tunnel. The demonstrators manage to hold their ground and begin to push the police back into the tunnel. This sets the stage for the final tragic conflict.
Demonstrators and police are engaged in physical altercations. Sprayed chemical agents are lingering in the narrow hallway.
Speaker 4: I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us.
Speaker 0: At 4:17 PM, president Trump posts a 1 minute video to his Twitter account, urging demonstrators to stay peaceful and go home.
Speaker 4: We have to have peace. We have to have law and order
Speaker 0: Twitter quickly attached a warning label on the video which read, this claim of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence. This limited the reach of the
Speaker 4: but go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 0: As the demonstrators are As the demonstrators are pushed back by police, they fall on top of each other. Some are pressed against the ground, unable to move. A woman named Roseanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, finds herself pinned under the deluge of bodies. The situation is critical.
Speaker 3: Need another chance
Speaker 1: to go all my time.
Speaker 5: Collapsed inside that that corridor from an asphyxiation. She couldn't breathe. Brought her out onto the main steps outside of that. Several people started doing CPR on her. I tried to get her carotid pulse for several minutes and even I cut part of her jeans away so that I could try to fill her femoral pulse, and I couldn't feel a femoral force at all.
By the time that they decided to pick the person up and give them to the police officer, she had blue lips and blood was coming out of her nose.
Speaker 3: Man, where the DC fire needs to go for that CPR that's going on?
Speaker 5: Didn't seem hopeful at all. I don't I don't think that person will be revived.
Speaker 0: Officers transport Boylan inside the tunnel and begin CPR.
Speaker 1: Ambulance that is coming for the code down at Lower West Terrace to the house door for entry?
Speaker 3: Yeah. She got I think she got stuck under there. She fell down and That's rambled? Yeah.
Speaker 0: Boylan is transported inside for one last revival attempt.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: To destroying the media equipment over here at Senate AG.
Speaker 3: Got me. Should we find Protesters are
Speaker 0: At 5 PM, as the citywide 6 PM curfew looms, police are making progress securing the capitol, and a steady stream of demonstrators leave the capitol grounds. At 5:10 PM, police use tear gas to drive the remaining demonstrators from the capitol's upper levels. Over the PA system, an announcement is made that all individuals are required to leave Capitol Hill or be subject to arrest. At 5:40 PM, National Guard troops begin to arrive at the capitol to secure the premises. One minute after the curfew goes into effect, Donald Trump sends out a final message to his supporters that day.
At 8 PM, the capitol is declared secure.
Speaker 7: Today was a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol.
Speaker 0: Shortly after at 8:0:6 PM, the Senate resumes debate over the certification of Arizona's vote in the senate chamber. The house would reconvene about an hour later.
Speaker 1: Not. How are
Speaker 0: The election results will be certified. And 14 days later, Joe Biden will walk down the same tunnel and stairs where the police and demonstrators fought for hours and where Roseanne Boylan took her last breath to be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. January 6th 2021, a day of hope and patriotism that turned into a day of chaos and tragedy. For the past 3 years, the shadow of January 6th looms large in our politics, in our culture, and in our national conversation. Are we any closer to understanding the events of that day?
Are we still in the timeline of January 6th?

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript presents a detailed narrative and timeline of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, emphasizing the sequence of events, key actors, and the evolving security dynamic as the day unfolded.
- Preceding the day, hundreds of peaceful rallies followed the November 2020 election. Polls showed concern about election irregularities in key states; none of these rallies were violent. On January 6, crowds gathered around multiple areas in Washington, DC, with the Ellipse hosting President Trump’s speech, and other groups assembling on the West and East sides of the Capitol and nearby locations. The mood of the crowd at morning events is described as joyful and hopeful, viewing it as the last chance to see the president’s national address.
- Around 11:41 AM, Ryan Samsell (spelled Samsal in some segments) crosses an intersection with officers; Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, is seen crossing the same intersection and would later lead investigations of Samsel and others. Four minutes later, officers respond to a report of a gun and question a person with a knife; he is released after it is determined there is no firearm.
- Trump’s speech timeline: at about 15 minutes into his remarks, Trump mentions that after the speech they will walk to the Capitol. He says, “we’re gonna walk down to the capital,” and reiterates a call to count only lawfully slated electors. He suggests marching “peacefully and patriotically.” Fifteen minutes into his remarks, a group including Proud Boys is seen heading toward the Capitol, flanked by DC Metropolitan Police.
- The crowd moves: about 12:04 PM, demonstrators including Proud Boys walk west on Constitution Avenue toward 1st Street, flanked by police. A lunch stop occurs around 12:30 PM as the group, previously flanked, appears to pause near the Department of Labor.
- By 12:35-12:36 PM, Pence’s motorcade arrives at the Capitol, in advance of the 1 PM certification. A crowd already forms at barricades on the East Plaza as Pence arrives. Shortly after, Trump’s remarks are referenced in real time as the Ellipse speech concludes.
- The first major breach occurs as barricades are breached: Samsell (Samsel) is seen near a barricade; Ray Epps is observed directing demonstrators toward the Capitol. A barrier is pushed into the police line, knocking a police officer (Caroline Edwards) to the ground, initiating the first violent skirmish.
- By 12:58 PM, a West Lawn fence is down; five Capitol Police officers guard the area behind barricades, while a Black ski-masked individual removes a barrier and leads crowds toward the West Lawn. Samsell and Epps are repeatedly seen near barricades as the crowd pushes forward.
- A man named Benjamin Phillips collapses on the West Plaza around 12:59 PM; responders assist him, and he dies later that day. Inside the Capitol, Vice President Pence is in the House chamber for the electoral vote certification.
- The Capitol Police deploy less-lethal munitions beginning around 1:06 PM. At 1:12 PM, Trump finishes his Ellipse remarks; a split-screen real-time view shows concurrent events around the Capitol. At 1:13 PM, Officer Thao requests more munitions and later fires a Taser (ECD). The first use of a chemical agent is reported, and the crowd’s advance continues toward the interior.
- By 1:21 PM, the first explosive munition is discharged; rubber bullets, tear gas, and incendiaries hit the crowd in rapid succession for about an hour. At 1:28 PM, a man collapses; CPR is attempted. A person named Roseanne Boylan later dies from injuries sustained in the crush.
- The West Plaza portion of the Capitol sees a collapse of the police line; by 1:38–1:41 PM, Trump tweets urging peace; Ray Epps is frequently seen near the front lines as demonstrators enter the West Plaza area and push past police barriers.
- Around 1:50 PM, CS gas is deployed in the Northwest side, causing police to retreat; demonstrators advance toward the Capitol interior. A key development: the West Terrace tunnel becomes a focal point as police retreat behind double doors, shortening the line and creating a bottleneck for the crowd.
- By 2:16–2:18 PM, doors to the Capitol open from the inside, and MPD reinforcements begin to arrive. The Senate and House debate on the Arizona electoral objection continues as demonstrators move through the building, including into the Senate chamber where desks and the dais are examined.
- At 2:24 PM, Trump tweets that Pence lacked the courage to do what should have been done to protect the country, which later drew attention from investigators. A misfire of CS gas by a DC officer leads to a dispersal collapse of the West Plaza line, and the crowd surges into the Capitol interior.
- In the Capitol Rotunda and Senate chamber, demonstrators roam and occupy spaces; Jacob Chanceley is seen in the Senate chamber, and threats to security escalate as officers and demonstrators contend in multiple locations.
- At 3:19 PM, police expel demonstrators from the tunnel; a US Capitol Police officer is dragged into the crowd but returns to the line. By 4:17 PM, Trump posts a one-minute video urging peaceful departure; Twitter adds a warning label and later removes the video.
- At 5 PM, curfew is announced; tear gas is used to drive remaining demonstrators from upper levels; National Guard troops begin to arrive. At 8 PM, the Capitol is declared secure, and the session resumes later that night with the Arizona vote certification.
- The narration closes with a reflection on the day’s legacy, noting that fourteen days later, Joe Biden would be inaugurated, and asking whether the public’s understanding of January 6 has progressed toward a fuller timeline and context.

Speaker 0: 01/06/2021. Washington DC. The US Capitol Building. An event that has been reported on more than any other in modern history. Despite excessive coverage, articles, books, documentaries, and congressional inquiries, Many details about the timeline of events that day remain unknown to the public.
Understanding what actually happened on January 6 without bias and with as much context as possible is extremely difficult. News organizations and mass media have controlled the story of that day. Big tech and social media companies have censored, shadow banned, and de platformed eyewitness accounts, which further skews and misrepresents the truth from that day. Many of us still do not know the names of those who were killed at the capital and the causes of their deaths. This video seeks to create a thorough and truthful timeline of the events of is the motivation for this timeline.
Prior to 01/06/2021, there had been a hundreds of peaceful rallies following the November twenty twenty election. Polls showed that many Americans were concerned with election irregularities in key states that ended up deciding the presidential election for Joe Biden. None of these rallies ever turned violent. The morning of January 6 started no different than any of those other rallies. American citizens showing up together to express their first amendment protected right to petition their government with a meaningful concern.
The mood of the crowd appeared to be joyful and hopeful. It would be the last chance to see the president give a large speech to the nation. To properly understand the events that would soon unfold, it's important to acknowledge that there were many areas of interest that day where crowds were congregating. Those attending president Trump's speech assembled at the Ellipse, a 52 acre park located directly south of the White House and approximately one mile from the capital. Space was limited there and the crowd was so big that a sea of people extended all the way to the Washington Monument.
Elsewhere in Washington DC, crowds would assemble in the morning at both the West and the East side of the capital. Still others would loiter in the vicinity to await the next event that would take place that day, of which there were multiple permit holders in the area. At 11:41AM, Ryan Samsall, a man who will later be pivotal in the first breach of the capital, crosses the street past multiple uniformed officers. Seconds later, the acting US attorney for the District Of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, wearing plain clothes, is seen crossing the same intersection. Sherwin would go on to lead the investigations of Samsel and hundreds of others.
Four minutes later, the same officer whose body cam recorded that interaction is moving through the crowd responding to a call of a person with a gun. The crowd is compliant as the officers move through the space. They reach their intended target, and after a few minutes of questioning, let the man go. He had no firearm and was only carrying a knife.
Speaker 1: Someone saw that handle and
Speaker 2: thought it was a handgun.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. This is my car. Okay? There's no way. Any questions or issues?
Speaker 3: Not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I when I turned on today, I looked and I saw thousands of people here, but you don't see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don't wanna show that.
Speaker 0: The president gave a speech that morning that was very similar in tone and in style to the many campaign speeches and post election speeches he had given to audiences around the country.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the speech in my ear, thanks to Scott.
Speaker 0: At the exact time that Trump begins his speech, a livestreamer is at Peace Circle at the precise location that the first Capitol barricade breach will occur fifty three minutes later. You can see the metal bike rack fencing separating the street from the sidewalks in front of the Capitol Building. These area closed signs were posted in compliance with a restriction that went into effect 09/07/2020 due to the construction of the inauguration stage. At 12:04PM, a group of demonstrators, including members of the Proud Boys, are seen walking west on Constitution Avenue toward 1st Street while being flanked by police officers from the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Speaker 4: And flanked by
Speaker 3: the DC pinot. 63,000,000.
Speaker 0: Fifteen minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the capital. For context, let's hear the president's full remarks during this portion of his speech.
Speaker 3: Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk down. We're gonna walk down anyone you want, but I think right here, we're gonna walk down to the capital. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.
And we're probably not gonna be cheering so much for some of them Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: Six minutes following these remarks, the group of proud boys and demonstrators seen previously being flanked by the DCMPD have stopped for lunch at a row of food trucks in front of the US Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue. Eddie Bloch, seen here in a scooter, tells a live streamer the immediate plans of the group.
Speaker 4: Where where
Speaker 5: are we headed?
Speaker 6: Do we know? We're heading back to the route. Okay.
Speaker 1: Was there was there nothing going on at the capital?
Speaker 6: Not really. Not really. So We're just kinda marching around, letting people know we're here.
Speaker 1: Okay. Good time. Yeah. Alright.
Speaker 0: Six minutes after this interaction at 12:30PM, the US Capitol Police report a very large group heading to the Capitol from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue at approximately 7th Street.
Speaker 1: Cruiser 50, it does look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge heading east.
Speaker 0: At the same time, police body cam records police intervening between Trump supporters and a counter protester. The police encourage the crowd to keep marching toward the capital.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys. Let's keep the march going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going. President
Speaker 0: Trump won't be finished speaking at the ellipse for another forty minutes. During this time, a man named Ray Epps was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the Capitol Building.
Speaker 1: As soon as president Trump is finished speaking, we are going to the Capitol in that direction. That's where our true problems lie. President Trump is done speaking. We are going to the capital. That's where our problem we are going to the capital where our problems are.
It's that direction.
Speaker 0: He was filmed the night prior, urging the crowd to go inside the capital.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna put it out
Speaker 1: that I'm probably gonna go to jail for it. Okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the capital. Into the capital. Peacefully.
The
Speaker 0: crowd surrounding him instantly calls him out as a fed. At 12:35PM, Mike Pence's motorcade is seen heading to the capital, turning left on Constitution Avenue from Louisiana Avenue.
Speaker 1: Arms don't stop. Anybody stay back. Stay back, please. Arms, let's go. Stay back.
Speaker 0: A minute later, at 12:36, vice president Mike Pence arrives at The US capital. The vice president's motorcade has just arrived at the capital in advance of the joint session. The certification is to begin in twenty four minutes at 1PM eastern. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the East Plaza of the capital. Mike Mike Pence.
At this exact moment, president Trump is mentioning Mike Pence's upcoming certification at his speech on the Ellipse over a mile away.
Speaker 3: But now they see all this stuff. It's all come to light. It doesn't happen that fast. And they wanna recertify their votes. They wanna recertify.
But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: A minute later at 12:45PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the capital. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle, where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway, a path that leads directly to the West side of the capital. There are two sets of metal barricades here, behind which only five Capitol Police officers can be seen guarding this entrance, while every member of Congress convenes in the building behind them. Just south of this path, a man in a black ski mask removes a barrier and waves the crowd onto the West Lawn of the capital, while members in the crowd shout at him. With this view, you can see the moment that the first set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the second set of gates.
Ryan Samsel, who we saw earlier in a white hoodie and red baseball cap, approaches the police line. This would become the first major breach of the Capitol Grounds and skirmish with Capitol Police. We will show this crucial interaction in its entirety and use multiple angles to see what happens at this all important flash point. Ray Epps, who we just saw calling for demonstrators to enter the capital, can be seen approaching the front of the barricades and speaking to Ryan Samsel. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line.
After the gate is forcefully pushed forward, US Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards is knocked to the ground. Ryan Sampson immediately runs to her aid to help her get back on her feet. The first violent skirmish of the day between demonstrators and police had begun. President Trump remains speaking on the ellipse.
Speaker 3: In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification regimes were purposely lowered before they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa Claus, it would go through.
Speaker 0: Just to the south at the 1st Street Southwest in the Maryland Avenue Circle, demonstrators knocked down a second gate. Crowds are now advancing on the West Front of the capital from two locations. With multiple lightly manned police barricades down, the enlivened crowd makes their way quickly to the next barrier, the metal gates in front of the West Plaza of the capital. Samsall can be seen tapping the shoulder of officer Edwards and saying something to her. Looking over the West Side of the capital from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the West Plaza.
From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol Grounds may have seen no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. At 12:58PM, the lightweight fencing on the West Lawn is pulled down completely by a single person. It is on this fence that signs with the words area closed are affixed. Thousands of people who will walk up to the capital after 1PM will never see these signs. Zooming in closer to the northwest corner of the plaza, we once again see Ray Epps at the head of the crowd in front of the next set of police barricades.
So far, we've seen him the previous day calling for the crowd to enter the capital. We saw him that morning directing people to the capital. We saw him at the first gate reach, and now here he is at the second major gate reach, and it won't be the last we see of him. Directly in front of him is where the crowd reaches the metal gates and enters onto the West Plaza of the capital. At 12:59PM, a man on the Northwest sidewalk collapses.
Speaker 6: Can you please have someone respond to my location? AT and The bottom of the west front was an individual that's down here unconscious and not brief.
Speaker 0: The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania who traveled to DC to support president Trump. A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life saving measures. While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, inside the capital, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes. President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that is already amassed at the capital.
Speaker 3: Clear evidence that tens of thousands of votes were switched from president Trump to former vice president Biden.
Speaker 5: Madam speaker, members of congress, pursuant to the constitution and the laws of The United States, the senate and house of representatives meeting in joint session to verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors of the several states for president and vice president of The United States.
Speaker 0: Back outside on the West Plaza, United States Capitol Police Deputy Chief Wal do orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 1: Unit six, I need less lethal teams. They could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position. They're not compliant, climbing the staff lane. Let me know when the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: One minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 01:06PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 1: Unit six, I got a crowd fighting with officer, pushing, throwing projectiles. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the less than lethal team positioned above me to identify the agitators and start deploying. Launch. Launch.
Launch.
Speaker 0: Launch. US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek. Safety procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level.
Speaker 1: I was at the front line trying to keep the peace between the patriots and the people that were hired by the government. And I I caught a shot in the face, and then that's about it.
Speaker 0: Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 1: Six high copy. I need more lead less than lethal teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still non compliant. We've continued to give I've continued to give multiple warnings about chemical munitions being released.
They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, no video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, officers must issue at least three clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system, as well as to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse, and a clear safe route for dispersal. Just feet away, Benjamin Phillips fights for his life. He has been down on the ground and not breathing for thirteen minutes.
Speaker 1: 01:30. Where's the ambulance for this guy on the Lower West?
Speaker 0: President Trump is finishing his speech at the Ellipse at 01:12PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around the capital in real time.
Speaker 3: So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible.
Speaker 1: Thank you very
Speaker 8: ballot from Arizona.
Speaker 5: Is the and signed by a
Speaker 1: senator? Yes, it is.
Speaker 0: As representative Paul Gosar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house, MPD officer Daniel Thou arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray Epps can be seen in the area that the police are trying to control. Back in the real time multi view, we can see Trump waving to the crowd after his one hour and eleven minute speech, the last speech he will give in front of a crowd as president of The United States. Gosar and Cruz are having their objections to the electoral vote of Arizona read on the house floor.
Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. At
Speaker 0: 01:13PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 1: Capital. Hey. We need blast positions. What do we got? I'm panicking.
We gotta get something, man. Come on. We gotta go. At
Speaker 0: 01:15PM, officer Thao crosses the line and engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges two rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD.
Speaker 1: True ECD to blunt. True
Speaker 0: He then witnesses what he calls an APO or an assault on a police officer.
Speaker 1: APO, felony. With
Speaker 0: 30 officers between him and the crowd, it's unclear what assault he thought he saw in that moment. A few 100 feet away, back on the northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
Speaker 1: Hello, sir. They are bringing the patient up to the ambulance right now. They are refusing to come down.
Speaker 0: Tragically, Phillips would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. Benjamin Phillips leaves behind two teenage children. Back inside the Capitol Building at 01:17PM, vice president Mike Pence and senators return to the senate chamber to debate the electoral vote challenge put forth by representative Paul Gosar. After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the West Terrace of the capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Damn it. We need that. Let's go. Just shoot it. Go.
Shoot. Shoot the.
Speaker 0: The less lethal team fires into the crowd for a third time. Three minutes later, at 01:21PM, the first explosive munition of the day is discharged. The demonstrators at the West Plaza of the capital will be hit by an unrelenting barrage of grenades, incendiaries, rubber bullets, and gas for the next hour. At 01:28PM, a man has collapsed on the West Plaza and is attended to by people in the crowd.
Speaker 1: They can't get anybody in here
Speaker 7: and the cops are throwing flashbangs into the crowd.
Speaker 0: He is unresponsive for several minutes. Fearing the risk of trampling, they carry him to a different location, where they continue to try to resuscitate him.
Speaker 1: He's been He's having
Speaker 7: a heart attack. He's been on the for six minutes. They carried him. They've been doing CPR. I think that man probably died.
Speaker 4: I hope they saved his life.
Speaker 0: Kevin Greeson leaves behind a wife and five children. Around 01:30PM, on the southwest side of the plaza, officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour. Just inside the capital, representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from California, is responding to the challenge of the electoral count.
Speaker 9: The votes are simply to be counted as certified and transmitted by the states.
Speaker 0: At 01:32PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just going to make things worse.
Speaker 6: We're just gonna make it worse. Worse.
Speaker 1: Hey. Stop. Hold. Hold fire. Hold fire.
Give me hold. Hold. Hold fire.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd.
Speaker 1: I'm coming out with smoke. That's a burner, by the way. A
Speaker 0: burner or hot burning smoke grenade can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 1: They come back with it? Hey. Do they throw it faster? I'm guessing.
Speaker 0: The smoke grenade is tossed back behind the police line by someone in the crowd.
Speaker 1: Eric. Eric,
Speaker 6: do we have any scout rounds?
Speaker 0: Officer Thao goes back for more rounds. This time, it's a CS gas canister.
Speaker 3: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: A triple chaser consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart, allowing increased area coverage. After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, officer Thao appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier.
Speaker 1: I got a triple chaser on hold. Yeah. Put it right back. I know. But this is triple chaser.
You're just a real smoker. I know. But this is splitting. I mean, got that. I know.
But
Speaker 0: captain tells officer Thou to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Take your step back. Take your step back.
Speaker 0: At around this same time, Ray Epps is once again caught from multiple cameras being at the front line of the demonstrators near police barricades. No other person has been seen at this many flashpoints this many times. He walks freely up and down the police barricades multiple times, communicating with other demonstrators in a similar fashion to when we saw him whisper in Ryan Samsall's ear earlier before the first breach. At 01:38PM, Donald Trump sends his first tweet after walking off the stage twenty four minutes earlier. It reads, please support our capital police and law enforcement.
They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. Around 01:40PM, Ray Epps is one of the members of the crowd who helps lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the West Plaza of the capital. At 01:41PM, body cam footage from officer Anthony Aliotto records a discussion about Eight minutes later, at 01:49PM, a riot is officially declared at the US capital.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and get compliant, but this is now effectively a riot.
Speaker 6: Forty nine hours declaring it a riot.
Speaker 0: The fears of officer Aliyoto are soon realized when at 01:50PM, officers use CS gas on the Northwest side of the plaza and effectively gas themselves with aid from the wind. You can see multiple officers struggling from the effects of the CS gas.
Speaker 1: Tina, be careful. It's blowing right back. I know. It's in my eye. You alright?
Yeah.
Speaker 6: Don't rub it. You know that. You're gonna suck. Keep blinking.
Speaker 0: Over on the East side of the capital, the gates have successfully held the crowd back for over an hour from when the West side was first breached. At 01:59PM, that all changes. The demonstrators overpower the police and begin to make their way toward the east steps.
Speaker 10: Police are squabbling with protesters. Oh, there we go. And they just reached the capital again.
Speaker 0: Back on the Northwest side of the capital, a man named Derek Vargo is ascending to the West terrace on the outside railing of the stairway. He is sprayed in the eyes with an inflammatory agent. Vargo reacts by heading back down the way he came when he is shoved off the wall by officer Bryant Williams, leading to a 25 foot drop. Some call this an attempted murder. Vargo is carried away on a makeshift stretcher by officers and bystanders.
Vargo suffered a fractured ankle and extensive midfoot injuries that would require surgeries to repair. He lives with constant foot pain, pain in the middle of his spine, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder that causes him flashbacks and nightmares of being pushed off the railing. At 02:03PM, the first dispersal order is heard coming from a mobile LRAD, or long range acoustic device.
Speaker 1: 221307. You are scammed? All people must be.
Speaker 0: DC law requires police to give three separate warning with the LRAD system and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or munitions to clear a protest crowd. At 02:06PM, police retreat up the east steps of the capital. Demonstrators soon follow and ascend the steps. We hear the LRAD again at 02:07PM.
Speaker 1: They are to comply
Speaker 0: with this order. They subject you to arrest. It's unlikely that demonstrators heard either of these warnings given the situation on the plaza, which calls into question the earlier stated DC law that requires these announcements to be clearly audible and to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse. Back on the East Side of the capital at 02:09PM, Hunter Emke is seen kicking in and punching multiple windows. He is quickly tackled and detained by police.
At 02:10PM, demonstrators reach the West Terrace and push through police barricades. They will quickly move to what will become the first points of entry to the interior of the capital. A man throws a two by four through a glass pane, the first such broken window on the West Side of the capital. Shortly thereafter, Dominic Pizzola pushes the window in using a police riot shield. Protesters will soon enter the building through these breach points.
At 02:12, Ray Epps sends a text message to his nephew, telling him that he orchestrated the protest at the capital and that he helped get people there. The video evidence we have seen thus far would back up his claim. At 02:13PM, president Trump tweets, I am asking for everyone at The US Capital to remain peaceful. No violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order.
Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the West Plaza of the capital, officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd. This crowd management round contains approximately 18 rubber balls.
Speaker 1: Hey, I need a round. You have CS?
Speaker 0: Thirty seconds later, he's given a baton round, a round that contains three forty millimeter rubber projectiles. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 02:18PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 2: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule one.
Speaker 0: At 02:16PM, the parliamentarian doors are opened from the inside, providing another access point for demonstrators to enter the building. Down on the West Plaza, officer Thou refers to police activity as quote, shooting zombies.
Speaker 1: Alright. We're completely around. At
Speaker 0: 02:18PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 2: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule one.
Speaker 0: At 02:18PM, police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers where one officer admits that they're hitting innocent people.
Speaker 1: And not only that, we're taking out one and ten of them are getting way easier. It's it's we're multiplying them by hitting them.
Speaker 0: At 02:24PM, John Earl Sullivan is recording as he is one of the first of the demonstrators to enter the Capital Rotunda.
Speaker 1: 2021 y'all. This is insanity. Holy What is this? What is life?
Speaker 0: At the same time, a few blocks away, MPD officers are discussing new plans to enter the capital to support US Capitol Police.
Speaker 1: They're gonna burn that building down.
Speaker 8: That's fine. And we'll figure it out. Alright.
Speaker 1: They better reach out to the military right now is what they better do. Get the National Guard suit up, get them down here.
Speaker 8: Do you know where we're suiting up, we're going in? We are? Yes. When? Damn.
Did you hear that?
Speaker 0: Still at 02:24PM, Mike Pence is moved from the senate chamber to his office across the hall. The senate remains in session as senator for Kentucky Mitch McConnell speaks on the floor. Also, at 02:24PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth. This would be a significant tweet to the January 6 committee, for they claimed that it was the motivation for a surge into the capital complex.
Speaker 11: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 02:24PM tweet, the crowds both outside the capital and inside the capital surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6 committee failed to mention was that it officers misusing munitions and CS gas at that same time that led to a surge.
Speaker 1: Hey, Rich. Yeah. Put it on the scaffolding. DC
Speaker 0: MPD officer Cowrie, at the urging of officer Thou, misfires a CS gas canister that eventually forces police to fall back and lose their position. As officers on the West Plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the West Plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within three minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the West Plaza entirely collapses. Back on the East Side at 02:24PM, demonstrators are able to force open doors from the inside.
These are the Columbus doors, which lead a short way to the rotunda of the capital. Back outside on the West Plaza, an elderly woman is violently pushed by police down a set of concrete stairs three times, which incites the crowd around her.
Speaker 8: Hey. Did you hear that? We're trying to make it to the Hanover Gardens. We're going
Speaker 1: in. Alright. So we down in long guns? What do we Yes.
Speaker 8: Straight up. Any any munitions you have, CDU.
Speaker 0: At 02:28PM, in an interesting exchange, a press photographer on scene at the East entrance of the capital taps a demonstrator on his hip and shoulder to move him out of the way so he can presumably get a better shot of the action. Back out on the south side of the West Plaza, a demonstrator is taken down by six police officers. He receives multiple punches while in a face down prone position. At 02:30PM, a security camera at the crypt lobby shows demonstrators gaining access to the capital via overhead lift doors. At this same time, the house is called into final recess.
Speaker 2: Without objection, the house is gonna go back into recess.
Speaker 0: At 02:31PM, Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser orders a curfew from 6PM that evening to 6AM the following morning. At 02:33PM, a frustrated police officer can be heard venting about being, in his words, set up.
Speaker 1: They set up the fuck up. That's what they did. They set up for They set up 64. Yeah. Absolutely.
And then they asked y'all to come in two hours later. They set us up. I'm gonna be as real as I can be. We are going to get overrun on the steps of the capital right now. We're getting fucking hammers.
Okay? If you guys go down there, the bank appliance is working very minimally. There's 10,000 to one. We're gonna lose the fucking steps, and we're getting people hurt like a mother.
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the West Side of the capital, while police officers watch them walk through the doors. Just feet away at 02:35PM, minutes after losing the West Plaza, officer Aliotto throws a gas canister from the West Terrace into the crowd that has amassed on the West Plaza. This, along with other gas canisters sent into the crowds, gets thrown back at the officers. Most of these officers still do not have gas masks. At the same time on the West Terrace, officers are repeating the same mistakes they made one level lower on the West Plaza.
An errant CS gas round is again fired into their held position on the West Terrace. The spreading gas will eventually effectuate a retreat back into the capital through a narrow tunnel. This mistake would prove to be incredibly significant for the events that are yet to come. The retreat into the capital through the West Terrace Tunnel would create the conditions for the next standoff between demonstrators and police that would take place over the following hours. Instead of showing force outside of the tunnel, the police make the questionable decision of barricading themselves behind locked double doors, giving up the tactical position, and retreating to a defensive posture.
At 02:39PM, Metropolitan Police Department reinforcements arrive at the capital, entering through the east carriage door. At the same time, police officers discussed being unprepared for what they encountered.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were coming up for this. I wanna make sure we all had our mask.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize how bad I
Speaker 1: they set us up to fail. They did. There was no way we were winning that. And you've now you got at least four platoons that are just gassed out. Yeah.
Literally. Because us, 54 doesn't have masks. Yeah. Oh, remember, we're supposed to be rapid response just to buy time for the hard platitudes to come. They didn't come.
They didn't ask for them. This is bullshit. Who cares about the street? Like, prioritize. Get yes.
Secure the capital. At
Speaker 0: 02:42PM, journalist Taylor Hanson is walking behind Ashley Babbitt, an air force veteran from California, as she turns a corner and approaches the speaker's lobby, guarded by three police officers. MPD officer Luke Foskett approaches a window and looks out upon the crowd on the western side of the Capitol Building.
Speaker 1: You're live. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Moments later, members of the house seek shelter in the gallery while officers barricade entry into the chamber. It is at this moment that the only firearm to be discharged inside the capital that day can be loudly heard. The story of that gunshot is quite possibly the most tragic story of that
Speaker 1: day. There's a gun. There's a gun. There's a gun. There's gun.
He's got a gun. He's got a
Speaker 0: The shot heard was a single round fired by lieutenant Michael Bird. It strikes Ashley Babbitt in the neck. And she falls back into the upper landing of the stairwell.
Speaker 1: She's done. She's dead. She's dead. She's dead. I caught her.
She's dead, you piece of shit. One shot in the capital. Report of a shooting in the capital. Trying to ascertain information now.
Speaker 0: At 02:46PM, approximately the same time as Ashley Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police officer Byrd, a series of smoke and signal flares are activated at various locations around the Capitol. Flare. There's some kind of a flare in the sky there. As the smoke clears, we again spot Ray Epps leaving the area and flanked by several individuals before leaving the Capitol Grounds for the day. Meanwhile, demonstrators continue to enter the Capitol Building.
The first demonstrator enters the Senate Chamber.
Speaker 6: Unit 7,
Speaker 1: we got protesters that are outside of the Senate chamber.
Speaker 0: Over the course of the next thirty minutes, the Senate Chamber will become a significant location of the day. Along with the Capital Rotunda, the Capital Corridors, and the West Terrace Tunnel. Prior to this point in the day, many demonstrators were free to roam the hallways and chambers of the building, meeting little resistance from Capitol Police.
Speaker 7: The police here are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our First Amendment allows. Gather more Americans under the condition that they will come and gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country.
Speaker 0: Capital police officer Robichaud asks a small group of demonstrators to remain peaceful.
Speaker 7: Show us no attack, no assault, remain calm. We're not doing this all. We're We're going to be heard. I will Everybody, this must
Speaker 1: be peaceful. This has to be peaceful. Times, we have the right to peacefully assemble.
Speaker 0: Robichaud then proceeds to escort at least one demonstrator, Jacob Chanceley, throughout various locations in the capital. At 02:46PM, additional demonstrators continue to enter the senate Chamber. Security footage shows no capital police presence in the senate Chamber at this time. At this point in the day, many of the demonstrators on the outside have no idea that Capitol has even been breached. Let's go back to the multi view to see what's going on around the Capitol Grounds.
On the Southeast Side, a group of MPD officers arrived to assist Capitol Police with clearing out the inside of the Capitol.
Speaker 1: One twenty two ground. We're sending MPD through the South door of the Capitol. There's about 25 units in hard gear.
Speaker 0: Back on the West Plaza, an enormous American flag has been draped over the scaffolding. On the East Side of the capital, demonstrators have overtaken the stairs and continue to gather on the lawn. Back in the rotunda at 02:48PM, we see demonstrators peacefully roaming around and taking photographs. The only law enforcement officers visible are standing in the doorway. As demonstrators continue to roam the hallways, one officer has a concerning realization.
Speaker 1: They make it up here. They can go right to the 2nd Floor. They just don't realize it.
Speaker 0: Back at the West Terrace Tunnel, a demonstrator activates a fire extinguisher into the tunnel towards dozens of law enforcement officers.
Speaker 1: Motor 13, we need munitions and 50 officers on the rotunda steps, at top the of the step. We need munitions to clear these steps.
Speaker 4: You wanna push forward?
Speaker 1: Push them back? No. Right now. No. Wait.
Okay. Because we gotta get numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm seeing stars right now.
Speaker 0: Inside the senate chamber, demonstrators are rummaging through desks looking for intel.
Speaker 1: Objection to the Arizona.
Speaker 0: More demonstrators arriving on the outside and more officers arriving on the inside.
Speaker 1: Hold it. Hold it, baby. Stop. Stop. It's the only way we're gonna hold this door.
Speaker 0: At 02:55PM, law enforcement begins to move demonstrators out of the capital from various locations.
Speaker 1: We are American. I pray for everyone of you, for your safety. You need to give communism what you need to do. You need to give communism to protect these people. We're patriots.
Sir. How much it cost for you to betray your duty and your people?
Speaker 0: But they continue to struggle to control the Rotunda and West Plaza Tunnel. Richard Barnett, the demonstrator who posed for this photo in house speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, attempts to persuade an officer to let him back in to retrieve his flag.
Speaker 6: Four eighteen Franks are informational. I have a group of about 20 to 30 officers that are cordoned off on the south side of the reconnaissance stairs. We're just gonna hold the line over here, so we get some kind of control on this crowd. There's no enforcement we can take at this time.
Speaker 8: Hey, man. Glad to see you guys. You guys are patriots.
Speaker 1: Look at
Speaker 8: this guy. He's got covered in blood. God bless you.
Speaker 4: You good, sir?
Speaker 1: Do you need medical attention?
Speaker 3: I'm good. Thank you. Alright.
Speaker 0: Jacob Chanceley takes a seat at the senate dais. He decides to leave a note for vice president Pence.
Speaker 6: Now that you've done that,
Speaker 4: can I get you guys to walk out of
Speaker 8: this room, please? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: There's 4,000,000 people coming in.
Speaker 4: So it's a of control.
Speaker 7: We love you guys. We love the cops. It's only
Speaker 8: a matter of time.
Speaker 1: Opportunity. Thank you, heavenly father. Amen. Sir, I have 75 people inside the Senate Chambers just for information. They are going through desks and on top of podium.
Speaker 0: Back at the rotunda, dozens of MPD officers prepare to clear out all of the demonstrators.
Speaker 1: One zero five, I'm currently at the main door to the Senate Chamber.
Speaker 0: Back at the scuffle at the West Terrace Tunnel, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Leading up to the tunnel are a series of steps the demonstrators are having trouble navigating. It is a very tense and dangerous situation in this area. For over an hour, the police have been inside the building behind the inner doors while demonstrators have occupied the tunnel.
Speaker 6: 405 John is advising they need additional acid.
Speaker 0: At 03:19PM, the police successfully expel the demonstrators from the
Speaker 1: tunnel. I'm trying. Get
Speaker 0: down. During the skirmish, a US Capitol police officer is dragged into the crowd of demonstrators. He is later returned to the police line and heads back to safety inside the tunnel. The demonstrators manage to hold their ground and begin to push the police back into the tunnel. This sets the stage for the final tragic conflict.
Demonstrators and police are engaged in physical altercations. Sprayed chemical agents are lingering in the narrow hallway.
Speaker 3: I know your pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us.
Speaker 0: At 04:17PM, president Trump posts a one minute video to his Twitter account, urging demonstrators to stay peaceful and go home.
Speaker 3: We have to have peace. We have to have law and order
Speaker 0: Twitter quickly attached a warning label on the video which read, this claim of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence. This limited the reach of the message. Minutes later, Twitter would remove the entire video message from its platform.
Speaker 3: I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 0: As the demonstrators are pushed back by police, they fall on top of each other. Some are pressed against the ground, unable to move. A woman named Roseanne Boylan, a Trump supporter from Georgia, finds her herself pinned under the deluge of bodies. The Trump situation is critical.
Speaker 1: Collapsed
Speaker 4: inside that that corridor from an asphyxiation. She couldn't breathe. Brought her out onto the main steps outside of that. Several people started doing CPR on her. I tried to get her carotid pulse for several minutes and even I cut part of her jeans away so that I could try to feel her femoral pulse and I couldn't feel a femoral pulse at all.
By the time that they decided to pick the person up and give them to the police officer, she had blue lips and blood was coming out of her nose.
Speaker 1: Man, where the DC fire needs to go for that CPR that's going on.
Speaker 4: Didn't seem hopeful at all. I don't I don't think that person will be revived.
Speaker 0: Officers transport Boylan inside the tunnel and begin CPR.
Speaker 6: Could you please send the ambulance that is coming for the code down at Lower West Terrace to the house door for entry?
Speaker 1: Protestant? Yeah. She got I mean, she got stuck under there. She fell down and That trampled? Yeah.
Speaker 0: Boylan is transported inside for one last revival attempt.
Speaker 6: CDU 70 to destroying the media equipment over here at the egg. Copy. Roadcasters are destroying media equipment at the Senate AG. At
Speaker 0: 5PM, as the citywide 6PM curfew looms, police are making progress securing the capital and a steady stream of demonstrators leave the capital grounds. At 05:10PM, police use tear gas to drive the remaining demonstrators from the Capitol's upper levels. Over the PA system, an announcement is made that all individuals are required to leave Capitol Hill or be subject to arrest. At 05:40PM, National Guard troops begin to arrive at the Capitol to secure the premises. One minute after the curfew goes into effect, Donald Trump sends out a final message to his supporters that day.
At 8PM, the Capitol is declared secure.
Speaker 5: Today was a dark day in the history of The United States Capitol.
Speaker 0: Shortly after at 08:06PM, the senate resumes debate over the certification of Arizona's vote in the senate chamber. The house would reconvene about an hour later. The election results will be certified. And fourteen days later, Joe Biden will walk down the same tunnel and stairs where the police and demonstrators fought for hours and where Roseanne Boylan took her last breath to be inaugurated as the forty sixth president of The United States. 01/06/2021.
A day of hope and patriotism that turned into a day of chaos and tragedy. For the past three the shadow of January 6 looms large in our politics, in our culture, and in our national conversation. Are we any closer to understanding the events of that day? Are we still in the timeline of January 6?

Speaker 0: January 6, 2021. Washington DC, the US Capitol Building, an event that has been reported on more than any other in modern history. Dree. Despite excessive coverage, articles, books, documentaries, and congressional inquiries, Many details about the timeline of events that day remain unknown to the public. Understanding what actually happened on January 6th without bias and with as much context as possible is extremely difficult.
News organizations and mass media have controlled the story of that day. Big tech and social media companies have censored, shadow banned, And deplatformed eyewitness accounts, which further skews and misrepresents the truth from that day. Many of us still do not know the names of those who were killed the capital, and the causes of their deaths. This video seeks to create a thorough and truthful timeline of the events of January 6th while shedding light on unheard stories, unseen footage, and new details. When facts are cherry picked for the sake of political narratives, We The People suffer.
Truth, not agenda, is the motivation for this timeline. Prior to January 6, 2021, there had been a hundreds of Peaceful rallies following the November 2020 election. Polls showed that many Americans were concerned with election irregularities in key states that ended up deciding the presidential election for Joe Biden. None of these rallies ever turned violent. The morning of January 6th started no different than any of those other rallies.
American citizens showing up together to express their first amendment protected right to petition their government with a meaningful concern. The mood of the crowd appeared to be joyful and hopeful. It would be the last chance to see the president give a large speech to the nation. To properly understand the events that would soon unfold, It's important to acknowledge that there were many areas of interest that day where crowds were congregating. Those attending president Trump's speech assembled at the Ellipse, A 52 acre park located directly south of the White House and approximately 1 mile from the Capitol.
Space was limited there, and the crowd was so big that a sea of people extended all the way to the Washington Monument. Elsewhere in Washington DC, crowds would Assemble in the morning at both the west and the east side of the capital. Still others would loiter in the vicinity to await the next event that would take place that day of which there were multiple permit holders in the area. At 11:41 AM, Ryan Sampson, a man who will later be pivotal in the 1st breach of the capital, crosses the street past multiple uniformed officers. Seconds later, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin wearing plain clothes is seen crossing the same intersection.
Sherwin would go on to lead the investigations of Samsel and hundreds of others. 4 minutes later, the same officer whose body cam recorded that Interaction is moving through the crowd responding to a call of a person with a gun. There you go. The crowd is compliant as the officers move through the space. They reached their intended target, and after a few minutes of questioning, let the man go.
He had no firearm and was only carrying a knife.
Speaker 1: I think you saw that Halo and thought it was a handguard. Oh, yeah. This is
Speaker 2: my car.
Speaker 1: Okay? There's no way. Questions or issues. Alright. Alright.
Be safe. Be safe. Thank you. You too. You guys be safe.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Speaker 0: President Trump took the microphone at 12:0:1 PM.
Speaker 3: Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I when I turned on Today, I looked and I saw thousands of people here, but you don't see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don't wanna show that.
Speaker 0: The president gave a speech that morning that was very similar in tone and in style to the many campaign speeches Just in post election speeches he had given to audiences around the country.
Speaker 4: I'm listening to the speech in my ear. Thanks to
Speaker 0: At the exact time that Trump begins his speech, a live streamer is at Peace that the 1st capitol barricade breach will occur 53 minutes later. You can see the metal bike rack fencing separating the street from the sidewalks in front of the capitol building. These area closed signs were posted in compliance with a restriction that went into effect September 7th 2020, due to the construction of the inauguration stage. At 12:04 PM, a group of demonstrators, including members of the Proud Boys, are seen walking west on Constitution Avenue toward First Street while being flanked by police DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Speaker 1: Well, if we're gonna win Flanked by the TCP District. 63,000,000.
Speaker 0: 15 minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the capital. For context, let's hear the president's full remarks during this portion of his speech.
Speaker 3: Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk We're gonna walk down anyone you want, but I think right here, we're gonna walk down to the capitol, And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, And we're probably not gonna be cheering so much for some of them because you'll never take back Our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that congress Do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes following these remarks, the group of Proud Boys and demonstrators seen previously being flanked by the DCMPD have stopped for lunch at a row of food trucks in front of the US Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue. Eddie Block, seen here in a scooter, tells a live Streamer the immediate plans of the group.
Speaker 4: Where, where are we headed?
Speaker 1: We're heading back to the route. Oh, okay. Ready. Ready to go. Ready?
Ready to go. Ready to go.
Speaker 4: Was there was there nothing going on at the, capitol?
Speaker 1: Work. We're all right. Not really. Not really. We're in a tunnel marching around letting people know we're here.
Okay. Good yeah.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes after this interaction at 12:30 PM, The US Capitol Police report a very large group heading to the Capitol from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue at approximately seventh Street.
Speaker 1: It does look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge heading east.
Speaker 0: At the same time, police body cam records police intervening between Trump supporters and a counter protester. The police encourage the crowd to keep marching toward the capital.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys. Let's keep the march going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going.
Speaker 0: President Trump won't be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another 40 minutes. During this time, a man named Ray Epps was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the capitol building.
Speaker 1: As soon as president The Trump has finished speaking. We are going to the capital in that direction. That's where our true problems lies. When the Trump is done speaking, we are going to the capital. That's where our problem we are going to the capitol where our problems are.
It's now corrects it.
Speaker 0: He was filmed the night prior urging the crowd to go inside the capitol.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out there. I'm probably gonna go to jail for it. Okay? Tomorrow, we need to Go into the capital. Into the capital.
Peacefully.
Speaker 0: The crowd surrounding him instantly calls him out as a fed. Fed. At 12 35 PM, Mike Pence's motorcade is seen heading to the capital, turning left on Constitution Avenue from Louisiana A new house.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me. You ain't about to stay back. Stay back, please. Alright? That's enough.
Stay back.
Speaker 0: A minute later, at 12:36, vice president Mike Pence arrives At the US Capitol. The vice president's motorcade has just arrived at the Capitol in advance of the joint session. The certification is to begin in 24 minutes at 1 PM EST. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the east over a mile away.
Speaker 3: But now they see all this stuff. It's all come to light. Doesn't happen that fast. And they wanna Recertify their votes. They wanna recertify, but the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back.
Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: A minute later At 12:45 PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the capitol. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway. A path that leads directly to the west side of the capital. There are 2 sets of metal barricades here, behind which only 5 Capitol police officers can be seen guarding this entrance while every member Congress convenes in the building behind them. Just south of this path, a man in a black ski mask removes a barrier and waves the crowd onto the west lawn of the capital while members in the crowd shout at him.
With this view, you can see the moment that the 1st set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the 2nd set of gates.
Speaker 1: Adrian. Adrian. Adrian. Go.
Speaker 0: Ryan Samsel, who we saw earlier in a white hoodie and red baseball cap approaches the police line. This would become the 1st major breach of the capitol grounds and skirmish with capitol police. We will show this crucial interaction in its entirety and use multiple angles to see what happens at this all important flashpoint. Ray Epps, who we just saw calling for demonstrators to enter the capital, can be seen approaching the front of the barricades and speaking to Ryan Samsel. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line.
After the gate is forcefully pushed forward, US Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards is knocked to the ground. Ryan Samsel immediately runs to her aid to help her get back on her feet. The 1st violent skirmish of the day between demonstrators and police had begun. President Trump remains speaking on the Ellipse.
Speaker 3: In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification machines were purposely lowered Before, they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa It would go through.
Speaker 0: Just to the south at the First Street Southwest in Maryland Avenue Circle, demonstrators knocked down a second gate. Crowds are now advancing on the west front of the capital from 2 locations. With multiple lightly Maned police barricades down, the enlivened crowd makes their way quickly to the next barrier, the metal gates in front of the west plaza of the capital. Samsel can be seen tapping the shoulder of officer Edwards and saying something to her. Looking over the west side of the capital from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the West Plaza.
From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol grounds may have see no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. At 12:58 PM, the lightweight fencing on the west lawn is pulled down completely by a single person. It is on this fence that signs with the words, area closed are affixed. Thousands of people who will walk up to the capital after 1 PM will never see these signs. Zooming in closer to the northwest corner of the plaza, we once again see Ray Epps at the head of the crowd in front of the next set of police barricades.
So far, we've seen him the previous day calling for the crowd to enter the capital. We saw him that morning directing people to the capital. We saw him at the 1st gate reach, and now here he is at the 2nd major gate reach. And it won't be the last we see Directly in front of him is where the crowd reaches the metal gates and enters onto the west plaza of the capital. At 12:59 PM, a man on the northwest sidewalk collapses.
Speaker 5: Can you please have someone respond Bottom of the west side with an individual that's down here unconscious and not briefed.
Speaker 0: The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania who traveled to DC to support president Trump. A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life saving measures. While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, Inside the capital, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes. President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that is already amassed at the Capitol.
Speaker 3: Clear evidence that tens The thousands of votes were switched from president Trump to former vice president Biden.
Speaker 6: Madam speaker, members of congress, Pursuant to the constitution and the laws of the United States, the senate and the house of representatives are meeting in joint session. Verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors of the several states for president and vice president of the United States.
Speaker 0: Back outside on the west plaza, United States Capitol Police deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 1: Unit Diggs, I need the last legal team that could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position. They're not compliant, climbing, staffing. Let me know when the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: 1 minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 1:0:6 PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 1: Unit 6, I got a crowd fighting with officer, pushing, throwing projectiles. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the That's the lethal team positioned above me to identify the agitator to start deploying. Launch. Launch.
Launch.
Speaker 0: US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek.
Speaker 1: You're
Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
Speaker 1: We need medical something. Put it on the phone.
Speaker 0: Safety procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level.
Speaker 1: I was at the front line trying to to keep the peace between the patriot and the people that were hired by the government. And, I I caught a shot to the face, and then, that's about it.
Speaker 0: Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 1: 6, I need more the defense and lethal teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still, noncompliant. We've continued to give, I've continued get possible warnings about chemical meters just being released. They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, No video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, Officers must issue at least 3 clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system as well as to provide participants reasonable An adequate time to disperse and a clear safe route for dispersal. Just feet away, Benjamin Phillips fights for his life. He has been down on the ground and not breathing for 13 minutes.
Speaker 1: 130. Where is the ambulance for this guy on the lower west?
Speaker 0: His speech at the Ellipse at 1:12 PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around Capitol in Real Time.
Speaker 3: So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and god bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is interesting.
Thank you very much. For Arizona.
Speaker 6: Is the objection in writing and signed by a
Speaker 1: senator? New Senator.
Speaker 0: As representative Paul Ozar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house. MPD officer Daniel Thao arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray can be seen in the area that the police are trying to control. Back in Real time multi view.
We can see Trump waving to the crowd after his 1 hour and 11 minute speech, the last speech he will give in front crowd as president of the United States. Gosar and Cruz are having their objections to the electoral vote of Arizona read on the house floor. Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys.
Speaker 0: At 1:13 PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 1: We need more conditions. Hey. Hey, Castle. Hey. We need blast positions.
What do we got? I'm panicking it. We gotta get something, man. Come on. We got it back.
Speaker 0: At 1:15 PM, officer Thao crosses the line engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges 2 rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD.
Speaker 1: 2 EC needed points. 2 EC needed.
Speaker 0: He then witnesses what he calls an APO or an assault on a police officer. With 30 officers between him and the crowd, it's unclear what assault he thought he saw in that moment. A few 100 feet away, back on the northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
Speaker 1: Hello, Sorry. They're bringing the patient up to the ambulance right now. They are refusing to come down.
Speaker 0: Tragically, Phillips would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. Benjamin Phillips leaves behind 2 teenage
Speaker 1: children.
Speaker 0: Back inside the capitol building At 1:17 PM, vice president Mike Pence and senators returned to the senate chamber to debate the electoral vote challenge put forth by representative Paul Ossar. After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the west terrace of Capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Hammer, we need that. Let's go. Just shoot
Speaker 2: it. Go. Shoot.
Speaker 0: The less lethal team fires into the crowd for a third time. 3 minutes later at 1:21 Yep. The 1st explosive mission of the day is discharged. The demonstrators at the west plaza of the capital will be hit by an unrelenting barrage Aja grenades, incendiaries, rubber bullets, and gas for the next hour.
Speaker 1: Hey. Hey. Fire. Hey. You good?
You good? Faster. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Hey.
Speaker 5: We got another individual down. People are doing CPR on me. DC five in
Speaker 1: the process. It's all here for a case of At
Speaker 0: 1:28 PM, a man has collapsed on the west plaza and is attended 2 by people in the crowd.
Speaker 1: They can't get anybody in here and the cops are throwing flashbangs into the crowd.
Speaker 0: He is unresponsive for several minutes. Fearing the risk of trampling, they carry him to a different location where they continue to try to resuscitate him.
Speaker 1: He's been a he's having a heart attack. He's been on the ground for 6 minutes. They carried him. They've been doing CPR. I think that man probably died.
I hope they
Speaker 0: Kevin Greesen leaves behind a wife and 5 children. Around 1:30 PM, on the southwest side of the plaza, Officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour. Just inside the Capitol, representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from California, is responding to the challenge of the electoral count.
Speaker 7: The votes are simply to be counted as certified and transmitted by the states.
Speaker 0: At one 32 PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just going to make things worse.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna make it worse. Hey. It's not. Hold. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold fire. Hold fire. Hold fire. Hey.
Hold fire. Hold fire.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his mind and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd.
Speaker 1: I'm coming out That's a burner, by the way, woman.
Speaker 0: A burner or hot burning smoke grenade It can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 1: They come back with it? Hey. Can they throw it back? Okay.
Speaker 0: The smoke grenade is tossed back behind the police line by someone in the crowd. Eric.
Speaker 1: Eric, come here. Scott rounds.
Speaker 0: Officer Thao goes back for more rounds. This time, it's a CS gas canister.
Speaker 1: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: A triple chaser consists of 3 separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart, allowing increased area coverage. After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, Officer Thao appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know, but this is triple chasing. I know, Oh, but this is what's it? I mean, I got pizza.
Speaker 0: Another captain tells officer Thao to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd. Out.
Speaker 1: Next step back. Next step back.
Speaker 0: At around this same time, Ray Epps is once again caught from multiple Full cameras being at the frontline of the demonstrators near police barricades. No other person has been seen at this many flashpoints this many times. He walks freely up and down the police barricades multiple times, indicating with other demonstrators in a similar fashion to when we saw him whisper in Ryan Samsel's ear earlier before the first breach. At 1:38 PM, Donald Trump sends his first tweet after walking off the stage 24 minutes earlier. It reads, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement.
They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. Around 1:40 PM, Ray Epps is one of the members of the crowd who helps lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the west plaza of the capital. At 1:41 PM, body cam footage from officer Anthony Alioto records a discussion about the dangers of using CS gas in their situation. The officer petitions not to have Robert Glover, the on scene commander, authorize use of CS gas in the area.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is do not let Glover
Speaker 1: Other r
Speaker 2: c s. I don't it don't do.
Speaker 1: I don't just I had the rubber floor.
Speaker 0: 8 minutes later, at 1:49 PM, a riot is officially declared at the US Capitol.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and get compliance, but this is now the first to play a riot.
Speaker 5: 49 hours declaring it a riot.
Speaker 0: The fears of officer Alioto are soon realized when at 1:50 PM, officers use CS gas on the northwest side of the plaza and effectively gas themselves with aid from the wind. You can see multiple Officers struggling from the effects of the CS gas.
Speaker 2: Gina, be careful. It's blowing right back. I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know. It's in my eye. You want a knife?
Speaker 5: Don't rub it. You know that. Rub it.
Speaker 0: Have successfully held the crowd back for over an hour from when the west side was first breached. At 1:50 9 PM. That all changes. The demonstrators overpower the police and begin to make their way toward the East Steps.
Speaker 1: Police are squabbling with protesters. Oh, there we go. And they just reached the capital again.
Speaker 0: Back on the northwest side of the capital, a man named Derek Vargo is ascending to the west terrace on the outside railing of the stairway. He is sprayed in the eyes with an inflammatory agent. Vargo reacts by heading back down the way he came when he is shoved off the wall by officer Bryant Williams, leading to a 25 foot drop. Some will call this an attempted murder. Vargo Urgeries to repair.
He lives with constant foot pain, pain in the middle of his spine, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder that causes him flashbacks and nightmares of being pushed off the railing. At 2:0:3 PM, the 1st dispersal order is heard coming from a mobile LRAD or long range acoustic device. DC law requires police to give 3 separate warning with the LRAD system and an opportunity to disperse before using violence to clear a protest crowd. At 2:0:6 PM, police retreat up the east steps of the capital. Demonstrators soon follow and ascend the steps.
We hear the LRAD again at 2:0:7 PM. Affair to comply with this order, may subject you to a ref. It's unlikely that demonstrators heard either of these warnings given the situation on the plaza, which calls Into question the earlier stated DC law that requires these announcements to be clearly audible and to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse. Quick time to disperse. Back on the east side of the capital at 2:0:9 PM, Hunter Emke Guy is seen kicking in and punching multiple windows.
He is quickly tackled and detained by police. At 2:10 PM, demonstrators reached the west terrace Some push through police barricades. They will quickly move to what will become the first points of entry to the interior of the capital. Man throws a 2 by 4 through a glass pane, the first such broken window on the west side of the capital. Shortly thereafter, Dominic Pizzola pushes the window in using a police riot shield.
Protesters will soon enter the building through these breach points. At 2:12, Ray Epps sends a text message to his nephew telling him that he orchestrated the protest at the capitol and that he helped get people there. The video evidence we have seen Aspar would back up his claim. At 2:13 PM, president Trump tweets, I am asking One at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence.
Remember, we are the party of law and order. Respect The law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza of the capital, Officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd. This crowd management round contains approximately 18 rubber balls.
Speaker 1: Hey. I need a round. Good, CF.
Speaker 0: 30 seconds later, he's given a baton round, a round that contains 3 40 millimeter rubber projectiles. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 8: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule 1.
Speaker 0: At 2:16 PM, the parliamentarian doors are open from the inside providing another access point for demonstrators To enter the building. Down on the west plaza, officer Thao refers to police activity as, quote, shooting zombies.
Speaker 1: We're just shooting zombies, man. Hey. Here. We're shooting zombies. That's it.
It is. Just What? There it is. Okay. Well, we need to get Joe's out of here.
Alright. We're completely surrounded.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess says during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 8: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule
Speaker 0: 1. At 2:18 PM, police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers, where 1 officer admits that they're hitting innocent people.
Speaker 1: Nothing's been helping. We need to win. Get that off. Right. We're gonna win that option.
We're gonna win a lot of pain in the life of the people. And and not only that, we're taking out 1 and 10 of them I'm waiting here. It's it's it's we're multiplying
Speaker 0: as he is one of the first of the demonstrators to enter the capitol rotunda.
Speaker 3: 2021, y'all. This is
Speaker 1: insanity. Holy
Speaker 3: what is this? What is life?
Speaker 0: At the same time, a few blocks away, MPD officers are discussing new plans to enter the capital to support US Capitol Police.
Speaker 9: They're gonna burn that building down.
Speaker 1: That's fine. And we'll figure it out. Alright.
Speaker 9: They better reach out to the military right now is what they better do. Get the national guard suited off, get them Down here.
Speaker 1: Do you know where, we're suiting up? We're going in. We are? Yes. Where?
Damn. Ready to hear that?
Speaker 0: Still at 2:24 PM, Mike Pence has moved from the senate chamber to his office across the hall. The senate remains in session as senator For Kentucky, Mitch McConnell speaks on the floor. Also, at 2:24 PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage To do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, Not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth. This would be a significant tweet to the January 6th committee for they claimed that it was the motivation for a surge into the capital complex.
Speaker 10: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 2:24 PM tweet, the crowds both outside the Capitol and inside the Capitol surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6th committee failed to mention was that it was officers misusing munitions and CS gas at that same time that led to a surge.
Speaker 1: I read. Put it off the step.
Speaker 0: DC MPD officer Cowrie, at the urging of officer Thao, misfires a CS Gas canister that eventually forces police to fall back and lose their position.
Speaker 1: Alright. Before this, I don't have my pick up. Let's go.
Speaker 0: As officers on the West Plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the west plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within 3 minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the west plaza entirely collapses. Back on the east side at 2:24 PM, demonstrators are able to force open doors from the inside. These are the Columbus doors which lead a short way to the rotunda of the capital.
Back outside on the west plaza,
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? We're trying to make it to, to Hennepin Gardens. We're going Alright.
Speaker 4: We
Speaker 1: down in long guns? What do we mean? Yes. Straight up. Any any munitions you have, CDU.
Speaker 0: At 2:28 PM in an interesting exchange, a press photographer on scene at the east entrance of the capital Taps a demonstrator on his hip and shoulder to move him out of the way so he can presumably get a better shot of the action. Back out on the south side of the west plaza, a demonstrator is taken down by 6 police officers. He receives multiple punches while in a face down prone position. At 2:30 PM, a security camera at the Crypt lobby shows demonstrators gaining access to the capital via overhead lift doors. At this same time, the house is called into final recess.
Speaker 8: Without objection, the host is gonna go back into recess.
Speaker 0: At 2:31 PM, Washington DC Dean mayor Muriel Bowser orders a curfew from 6 PM that evening to 6 AM the following morning. At 2:33 PM, a frustrated police officer can be heard venting about being, in his words, set up.
Speaker 1: They set us up. They set up 64. Oh, absolutely. And then they asked you to come in 2 hours later. They set us up.
They needed everybody right away. No. Right away. They set up a pizza. Hold on.
We ain't got I'm a bit as real as as it can be. We are going to get overrun on the steps of the capital right now. We're getting hammers. Okay? If you guys go down there, the tank appliance is working very minimally.
There's 10,000 to 1. We're gonna lose the steps, and we're getting people hurt like a
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the west side of the capitol while police officers watch them walk through the doors. Just feet away at 2:35 PM, minutes after losing the west plaza, officer Alioto throws a gas canister from the west terrace into the crowd that has amassed on the west plaza. This, along with other gas canisters sent into the crowds gets thrown back at the officers. Most of these officers still do not have gas masks. At the same time, on the west terrace, Officers are repeating the same mistakes they made one level lower on the west plaza.
An errant CS gas round is again fired into their held position on the west terrace. The spreading gas will eventually effectuate a retreat back into the capital through a narrow tunnel. This mistake would prove to be incredibly significant for the events that are yet to come. The retreat into the capital through the west terrace tunnel would create the conditions for the next standoff between demonstrators and police that would take place over the following hours. Instead of showing force outside of the tunnel, the police make the questionable decision of barricading themselves behind locked double doors, giving up the tactical position and retreating to a defensive posture.
At 2:39 PM, Metropolitan Police Department reinforcements arrive at the capitol entering through the east carriage door. At the same time, police officers discuss being unprepared for what they encountered.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we are coming up for this. I wanna make sure we all Our masks. I didn't realize how bad I they shut us up to fail. They did. There was no way we were winning that.
And you've now you got at least 4 platoons that are just gassed out. Yeah. Literally. Because us, 54, doesn't have masks. Yeah.
Well, remember, we're supposed to be rapid response just to buy time for the New York employees to come. They didn't come. They didn't ask for them. Who cares about the street? Like, I authorize.
Get yes. Secure the capital.
Speaker 0: At 2:42 PM, journalist Taylor Hanson is walking behind Ashley Babbitt, an air force veteran from California, as she turns a corner and approaches the speaker's lobby guarded by 3 police officers. MPD officer Luke Foskett approaches a window and looks out upon the crowd on the western side of the capitol building.
Speaker 1: You're live. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Moments later, members of the house seek shelter in the gallery while officers barricade entry into the chamber. It is at this moment that the only firearm to be discharged inside the Capitol that day can be loudly heard. The story of that gunshot is quite possibly the most tragic story of that day.
Speaker 1: Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Hey. He's got a gun.
Hey. He's got
Speaker 0: a gun. The shot heard was a single round fired by lieutenant Michael Byrd. It strikes Ashley Babbitt in the neck Stop. And she falls back into the upper landing of the stairwell.
Speaker 1: They just killed a girl.
Speaker 3: They just shot to go right
Speaker 1: She's dead. One shot in the capitol. Report of a shooting in the capitol. Trying to ascertain information now.
Speaker 0: At 2:46 PM, approximately the same time as Ashley Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police officer Bird, A series of smoke and signal flares are activated at various locations around the capital.
Speaker 1: Flare. There's some kind of a flare in
Speaker 5: the sky
Speaker 8: Hi there.
Speaker 0: As the smoke clears, we again spot Ray Epps leaving the area and flanked by several individuals before leaving the capitol grounds for the day. Meanwhile, demonstrators continue to enter the capitol building. The 1st demonstrator enters the senate chamber. We're
Speaker 5: here. For tonight's Senate 7, we got protesters that are outside of the, senate chamber.
Speaker 0: Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the senate chamber will become a significant location of the day along with the capitol rotunda, the capital corridors
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, come on. Don't start this
Speaker 0: and the West Terrace Tunnel. Prior to this point in the day, many demonstrators were free to roam the hallways and chambers of the building meeting little resistance from Capitol Police.
Speaker 2: The police who are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our 1st amendment allowed. Gather for Americans under the condition that they will come We gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country.

Speaker 0: Robichaud then proceeds to escort at least 1 demonstrator, Jacob Chancely, throughout various locations in the capital. At 2:46 PM, additional demonstrators continue to enter the senate chamber. Security footage shows no In the senate chamber at this time. At this point in the day, many of the demonstrators on the outside have no idea the capital has even been breached. Let's go back to the multi view to see what's going on around the capitol grounds.
On the southeast side, a group of MPD officers arrive to assist Capitol Police with clearing out the inside of the Capitol.
Speaker 1: 1/52 ground. We're sending NPD through the south door of the Capitol. There's about 25 units in hard gear.
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza, an enormous American flag has been draped over the scaffolding. On the east side of the capitol, Demonstrators have overtaken the stairs and continue to gather on the lawn. Back in the rotunda at 2:40 8 PM. We see demonstrators peacefully roaming around and taking photographs. The only law enforcement officers visible are standing in the doorway.
As demonstrators continue to roam the hallways, 1 officer has a concerning realization.
Speaker 1: They make it up here. They can go right to the center floor.
Speaker 9: They just don't realize it.
Speaker 0: Back at the West Terrace Tunnel, A demonstrator activates a fire extinguisher into the tunnel towards dozens of law enforcement officers.

Speaker 0: Freedom. Back at the scuffle At the West Terrace Tunnel, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Leading up to the tunnel are a series of steps the demonstrators are having trouble navigating. It is a very Tense and dangerous situation in this area. For over an hour, the police have been inside the building behind the inner doors while demonstrators have occupied the tunnel.
Speaker 5: They they need additional assets.
Speaker 0: At 3:19 PM, the police successfully expelled the demonstrators from the tunnel. Dragged into the crowd of demonstrators. He is later returned to the police line and heads back to safety inside
Speaker 1: the tunnel. We have got it.
Speaker 0: The demonstrators managed to hold their ground and begin to push the police back into the tunnel. This sets the stage for the final tragic conflict. Demonstrators and police are engaged in physical altercations. Sprayed chemical agents are lingering in the narrow hallway.
Speaker 3: I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us.
Speaker 0: At 4:17 PM, president Trump posts a one minute video to his Twitter account urging demonstrators to stay peaceful and go home.
Speaker 3: We have to have peace. We have to have law
Speaker 0: Twitter quickly attached a warning label on the video which read, this claim of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or iced due to a risk of violence. This limited the reach of the message. Minutes later, Twitter would remove the entire video message from its platform.
Speaker 3: I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 0: As the demonstrators are pushed back by police, they fall on top of each other. Some are pressed against the ground, unable to A woman named Roseanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, finds herself pinned under the deluge of bodies. The situation is critical.
Speaker 1: I need another case.

Speaker 0: 5 PM. As the citywide 6 PM curfew looms, police are making progress securing the capital, and a steady stream of demonstrators leave the capital grounds. At 5:10 PM, police used tear gas to drive the remaining demonstrators is from the capital's upper levels. Over the PA system, an announcement is made that all individuals are required to leave Capitol Hill or be subject to arrest. At 5:40 PM, national guard troops begin to arrive at the capital to secure the premises.
1 minute after the curfew goes into effect, Donald Trump sends out a final message to his supporters that day. At 8 PM, the capital is declared secure.
Speaker 6: Today was a dark day in the history of the United States capital.
Speaker 0: Shortly after at 8:0:6 PM, the Senate resumes debate over the certification of Arizona's vote in the Senate chamber. The house would reconvene about an hour later. The election results will be certified. And 14 days later, Joe Biden will walk down the same tunnel and stairs where the police and demonstrators fought for hours and where Roseanne Boylan took her last breath to be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. January 6, 2021.
Buddhism that turned into a day of chaos and tragedy. For the past 3 years, the shadow of January 6th looms large in our politics, in our culture, and in our national conversation. Are we any closer to understanding the events of that day? Are we still in the timeline of January 6th?

On January 6, 2021, a significant event unfolded at the U.S. Capitol, marked by a large gathering of citizens expressing concerns over the election results. The day began with President Trump addressing supporters at the Ellipse, encouraging them to march to the Capitol. As crowds moved toward the Capitol, tensions escalated, leading to the first breach of barricades. Key figures, including Ray Epps, were seen directing demonstrators. Police struggled to maintain order as the situation deteriorated, resulting in violence and chaos. Tragically, several individuals lost their lives, including Ashley Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: January 6, 2021, Washington DC, the US Capitol building, an event that has been reported on more than any other in modern history. Despite excessive coverage, articles, books, documentaries, and congressional inquiries, many details about the timeline of events that day remain unknown to the public. Understanding what actually happened on January 6th without bias and with as much context as possible is extremely difficult. News organizations and mass media have controlled the story of that day. Big tech and social media companies have censored, shadow banned, and deplatformed eyewitness accounts, which further skews and misrepresents the truth from that day.
Many of us still do not know the names of those who were killed at the capital and the causes of their deaths. This video seeks to create a thorough and truthful timeline of the events of January 6th while shedding light on unheard stories, unseen footage, and new details. When facts are cherry picked for the sake of political narratives, We The People suffer. Truth, not agenda, is the motivation for this timeline. Prior to January 6, 2021, there had been a hundreds of peaceful rallies following the November 2020 election.
Polls showed that many Americans were concerned with election irregularities in key states that ended up deciding the presidential election for Joe Biden. None of these rallies ever turned violent. The morning of January 6th started no different than any of those other rallies. American citizens showing up together to express their first amendment protected right to petition their government with a meaningful concern. The mood of the crowd appeared to be joyful and hopeful.
It would be the last chance to see the president give a large speech to the nation. To properly understand the events that would soon unfold, it's important to acknowledge that there were many areas of interest that day where crowds were congregating. Those attending president Trump's speech assembled at the Ellipse, a 52 acre park located south of the White House and approximately 1 mile from the Capitol. Space was limited there, and the crowd was so big that a sea of people extended all the way to the Washington Monument. Elsewhere in Washington DC, crowds would assemble in the morning at both the west and the east side of the capitol.
Still others would loiter in the vicinity to await the next event that would take place that day, of which there were multiple permit holders in the area. In our first look inside the capitol building at 11:21 AM, CCTV picks up VP elect Kamala Harris exiting the building through the east senate carriage doors. At 11:41 AM, Ryan Samsel, a man who will later be pivotal in the first breach of the capital, crosses the street past multiple uniformed officers. Seconds later, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, wearing plain clothes, is seen crossing the same intersection. Sherwin would go on to lead the investigations of Samsel and hundreds of others.
4 minutes later, the same officer whose body cam recorded that interaction is moving through the crowd, responding to a call of a person with a gun. The crowd is compliant as the officers move through the space. They reach their intended target, and after a few minutes of questioning, let the man go. He had no firearm and was only carrying a knife.
Speaker 1: Someone saw that handle and thought it was a hand gun. Oh, yeah. This is my car. Okay? No way.
Question or issues. Alright.
Speaker 0: President Trump took the microphone at 12:01 PM.
Speaker 2: Me, you will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I when I turned on today, I looked and I saw thousands of people here, but you don't see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don't wanna show that.
Speaker 0: The president gave a speech that morning that was very similar in tone and in style to the many campaign speeches and post election speeches he had given to audiences around the country.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the speech in my ear,
Speaker 0: thanks to Scott.
Speaker 3: At the
Speaker 0: exact time that Trump begins his speech, a live streamer is at peace circle at the precise location that the first capital barricade breach will occur 53 minutes later. You can see the metal bike rack fencing separating the street from the sidewalks in front of the capitol building. These area closed signs were posted in compliance with a restriction that went into effect September 7, 2020 due to the construction of the inauguration stage. At 12:0:4 PM, a group of demonstrators, including members of the Proud Boys, are seen walking west on Constitution Avenue toward First Street while being flanked by police officers from the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Speaker 1: Well, we're being flanked by the DCP District. 63 bitches.
Speaker 0: 15 minutes into his 15 minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the capital. For context, let's hear the president's full remarks during this portion of his speech.
Speaker 2: Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk down we're gonna walk down anyone you want, but I think right here, we're gonna walk down to the capitol, and we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not gonna be cheering so much for some of them because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.
I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes following these remarks, the group of proud boys and demonstrators seen previously being flanked by the DCMPD have stopped for lunch at a row of food trucks in front of the US Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue. Eddie Block, seen here in a scooter, tells a live streamer the immediate plans
Speaker 1: around, letting
Speaker 3: people know we're here.
Speaker 1: Okay. Good time. Yeah. Alright.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes after this interaction, at 12:30 PM, the US Capitol Police report, a very large group heading to the capital from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue at approximately seventh Street.
Speaker 3: Cruiser 50. Those look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge heading east.
Speaker 0: At the same time, police body cam records police intervening between Trump supporters and a counter protester. The police encourage the crowd to keep marching toward the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys. Let's keep the march going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going.
Speaker 0: President Trump won't be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another 40 minutes. During this time, a man named Ray Epps was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the capitol building.
Speaker 1: As soon as president Trump is finished speaking, we are going to the capitol in that direction. That's where our true problems are. President Trump is done speaking. We are going to the Capitol. That's where our problem we are going to the Capitol where our problems are.
It's that direction.
Speaker 0: He was filmed the night prior, urging the crowd to go inside the capitol.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out that I'm probably gonna go to jail for it. Okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the capitol. Into the capitol. Peacefully.
Speaker 0: The crowd surrounding him instantly calls him out as a fed. At 12:35 PM, Mike Pence's motorcade is seen heading to the capital, turning left on Constitution Avenue from Louisiana Avenue.
Speaker 1: All go south. Get about to stay back. Stay back, please. Alright. Let's stop.
Stay back.
Speaker 0: A minute later, at 12:36, vice president Mike Pence arrives at the US Capitol.
Speaker 4: The vice president's motorcade has just arrived at the Capitol in advance of the joint session.
Speaker 0: The certification is to begin in 24 minutes at 1 PM Eastern. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the east plaza of the Capitol.
Speaker 3: Mike Parker.
Speaker 0: At this exact moment, president Trump is mentioning Mike Pence's upcoming certification at his speech on the Ellipse over a mile away.
Speaker 2: But now they see all this stuff. It's all come to light. Doesn't happen that fast. And they wanna recertify their votes. They wanna recertify.
But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: Minute later at 12:45 PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the capital. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway, a path that leads directly to the west side of the
Speaker 3: Capitol.
Speaker 5: Are you aware of a US Capitol Police directive initiated by then sergeant at arms Paul Irving to the architect of the Capitol sent on January 5th to move approximately 500 bike racks serving as security barricades away from First Street Northeast and Constitution Avenue to the
Speaker 3: east front?
Speaker 1: No, sir. I'm not aware of that. We have not, delved into that.
Speaker 5: This week, we've uncovered emails from the architect of the capitol where it's clear that this was directed by the house sergeant at arms against legitimate security concerns from the AOC, where the AOC, rep Blanton, called it illogical. This is yet another example of the dysfunction of the security decision making process of the Capitol Police Board.
Speaker 0: Back outside where the crowd has gathered at Peace Circle, there are 2 sets of metal barricades here behind which only 5 capitol police officers can be seen guarding this entrance while every member of congress convenes in the building behind them. Just south of this path, a man in a black ski mask removes a barrier and waves the crowd onto the west lawn of the capital while members in the crowd shout at him. With this view, you can see the moment that the first set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the second set of gates. Ryan Samsel, who we saw earlier in a white hoodie and red baseball cap, approaches the police line. This would become the first major breach of the capitol grounds and skirmish with capitol police.
We will show this crucial interaction in its entirety and use multiple angles to see what happens at this all important flash point. Ray Epps, who we just saw calling for demonstrators to enter the capital, can be seen approaching the front of the barricades and speaking to Ryan Samsel. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line. After the gate is forcefully pushed forward, US Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards is knocked to the ground. Ryan Samsel immediately runs to her aid to help her get back on her feet.
The first violent skirmish of the day between demonstrators and police had
Speaker 3: begun.
Speaker 0: President Trump remains speaking on the Ellipse.
Speaker 2: In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification machines were purposely lowered before they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa Claus, it would go through.
Speaker 0: Just to the south at the First Street Southwest in Maryland Avenue Circle, demonstrators knocked down a second gate. Crowds are now advancing on the west front of the capitol from 2 locations. With multiple lightly manned police barricades down, the enlivened crowd makes their way quickly to the next barrier, the metal gates in front of the west plaza of the capitol. Samsel can be seen tapping the shoulder of officer Edwards and saying something to her. Looking over the west side of the capitol from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the west plaza.
From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol grounds may have seen no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. At 12:58 PM, the lightweight fencing on the west lawn is pulled down completely by just a few people. It is on this fence that signs with the words area closed are affixed. Thousands of people who will walk up to the capitol after 1 PM will never see these signs. Zooming in closer to the northwest corner of the plaza, we once again see Ray Epps at the head of the crowd in front of the next set of police barricades.
So far, we've seen him the previous day calling for the crowd to enter the capitol. We saw him that morning, directing people to the capitol. We saw him at the first gate breach, and now here he is at the second major gate breach. And it won't be the last we see of him. Directly in front of him is where the
Speaker 1: can you please have someone respond to my location? AT, at the bottom of the west side with an individual that's down here unconscious and not reached.
Speaker 0: The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania who traveled to DC to support president Trump. A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life saving measures. While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, inside the capitol, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes. President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that has already amassed at the Capitol.
Speaker 2: Clear evidence that tens of thousands of votes were switched from president Trump to former vice president Biden.
Speaker 6: Madam speaker, members of congress, pursuant to the constitution and the laws of the United States, the senate and house of representatives are meeting in joint session. Verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors in several states, president and vice president of the United States.
Speaker 0: Back outside on the west plaza, United States Capitol Police Deputy Chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I need less lethal team They could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position. They're not compliant, climbing, stapling. Let me know when the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: 1 minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 1:0:6 PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I got a crowd fighting with officer, pushing, throwing projectiles. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the less than lethal team positioned above me to identify the agitator to start deploying. Launch. Launch.
Launch.
Speaker 0: US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek.
Speaker 1: You're shooting us.
Speaker 3: Oh, we don't. We need medical something.
Speaker 1: No. We Safety
Speaker 0: procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level.
Speaker 1: I was at the front line trying to keep the peace between the patriot and the people that were hired by the government. And, I caught a shot to the face, and then, that's about it.
Speaker 0: Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 3: Chris, I got the I need more defensive legal teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still, non compliant. We've continued to give, I've continued to give multiple warnings about, typical munitions being released. They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, no video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, officers must issue at least 3 clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system, as well as to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse and a clear safe route for dispersal. Just feet away, Benjamin Phillips fights for his life. He has been down on the ground and not breathing for 13 minutes.
Speaker 3: 1:30. Where is the ambulance for this guy on the lower west?
Speaker 0: President Trump is finishing his speech at the Ellipse at 1:12 PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around the Capitol in real time.
Speaker 2: So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and god bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Dollars from Arizona.
Speaker 6: Is the objection in writing and signed by a senator?
Speaker 2: Yes. It is.
Speaker 0: As representative Paul Gosar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house, MPD officer Daniel Thau arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray Epps can be seen in the area that the
Speaker 3: police are trying to control. Back where
Speaker 0: we can see simultaneous angles, we can see Trump waving to the crowd after his 1 hour and 11 minute speech, the last speech he will give in front of a crowd as president of the United States. Gosar and Cruz are having their objections to the electoral vote of Arizona read on the House floor. Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you
Speaker 3: guys. Appreciate you guys.
Speaker 0: At 1:13 PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 1: Hey. We need more munitions. Hey, captain. Hey. We need blast commision.
Speaker 3: What do we got?
Speaker 1: I'm panicking it.
Speaker 3: We gotta get something, man. Come on.
Speaker 1: We gotta do that.
Speaker 0: At 1:15 PM, officer Thau crosses the line and engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges 2 rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD.
Speaker 1: True ECD to point. True ECD.
Speaker 0: He then witnesses what he calls an APO or an assault on a police officer.
Speaker 1: APO. Melanie. APO.
Speaker 0: With 30 officers between him and the crowd, it's unclear what assault he thought he saw in that moment. A few 100 feet away, back on the northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir. They're not bringing the patient up to the ambulance right now. They are refusing to come down.
Speaker 0: Tragically, Phillips would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. Benjamin Phillips leaves behind 2 teenage children. Back inside the capitol building at 1:17 PM, vice president Mike Pence and senators return to the senate chamber to debate the electoral vote challenge put forth by representative Paul Gosar. At 1:17 PM, a second wave of DC Metropolitan Police officers show up on the east side of the capitol. They are the first to bring in explosive ammunition rounds that they will soon distribute to officers on the west plaza.
Officer Tara Tindall is crouched on the ground readying CS gas rounds. After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the west terrace of the capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Commander, we need them. Let's go. Let's shoot it. Go.
Speaker 3: Go. Go.
Speaker 1: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go.
Speaker 3: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go.
Speaker 1: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go
Speaker 0: At 1:21 PM, the explosive munitions that arrived 4 minutes earlier have made their way to officers on the west plaza. The first one fired into the crowd can be seen on the lower right of your screen. Stop. At 1:24 PM, on scene commander officer Robert Glover gives the first audible authorization to deploy explosives into the crowd. The demonstrators at the west plaza of the capital will be hit by an unrelenting barrage of grenades, incendiaries, rubber bullets, and gas for the next hour.
At 1:28 PM, a man has collapsed on the west plaza and is attended to by people in the crowd.
Speaker 3: They can't get anybody in here, and the
Speaker 1: cops are throwing flashbangs into the crowd.
Speaker 0: He is unresponsive for several minutes. Fearing the risk of trampling, they carry him to a different location where they continue to try to resuscitate him. He's
Speaker 1: been he's having a heart attack. He's been on the
Speaker 3: ground for 6 minutes. They carried him.
Speaker 1: They've been doing CPR. I think that man
Speaker 0: Kevin Greesen leaves behind a wife and 5 children. Around 1:30 PM, on the southwest side of the plaza, officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour. Just inside the Capitol, representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from California, is responding to the challenge of the electoral count.
Speaker 7: The votes are simply to be counted as certified and transmitted by the states.
Speaker 0: At 1:32 PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just
Speaker 3: going to make things worse.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna make it worse. It's not hold. Hold fire. Hold fire. Hold fire.
Hold fire. Hold fire.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his mind and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd.
Speaker 1: I'm coming out with smoke. I got the burner
Speaker 0: A burner or hot burning smoke grenade can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 1: They come back with it? Can they throw it back? I got you.
Speaker 0: The smoke grenade is tossed back behind the police line by someone in the crowd. Eric,
Speaker 3: do we have any scat rounds?
Speaker 0: Officer Thao goes back for more rounds. This time, it's a CS gas canister.
Speaker 3: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: A triple chaser consists of 3 separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart, allowing increased area coverage. After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, officer Thao appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier.
Speaker 1: I got a triple chaser. Hold on.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I
Speaker 0: Another captain tells officer Thao to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd. At around this same time, Ray Epps is once again caught from multiple cameras being at the front line of the demonstrators near police barricades. No other person has been seen at this many flash points this many times. He walks freely up and down the police barricades multiple times, communicating with other demonstrators in a similar fashion to when we saw him whisper in Ryan Samsel's ear earlier before the first breach. Around 1:40 PM, Ray Epps is one of the members of the crowd who helps lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the west plaza of the capitol.
At 1:41 PM, body cam footage from officer Anthony Alioto records a discussion about the dangers of using CS gas in their situation. The officer petitions not to have Robert Glover, the on scene commander, authorize use of CS Gas in the area.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is do not let Glover authorize CS. I don't I don't know. I don't just I have the problem for all.
Speaker 0: 8 minutes later, at 1:49 PM, a riot is officially declared at the US Capitol.
Speaker 3: We're gonna try to get compliance, but this is now effectively
Speaker 1: a riot.
Speaker 3: 2:49 hours declaring it a riot.
Speaker 0: The fears of officer Alioto are soon realized when at 1:50 PM, officers use CS gas on the northwest side of the plaza and effectively gas themselves with aid from the wind. You can see multiple officers struggling from the effects of the CS gas.
Speaker 1: Gina, be careful. It's blowing right back.
Speaker 3: I know. Okay. It's in my eye. You okay? Yeah.
You're rubbing. You know that.
Speaker 0: Over on the east side of the Capitol, the gates have successfully held the crowd back for over an hour from when the west side was first breached. At 1:59 PM, that all changes. The demonstrators overpower the police and begin to make their way toward the east steps.
Speaker 3: Police are squabbling with protesters. Oh, there we go. And they just reached the castle again.
Speaker 0: Back on the northwest side of the capital, a man named Derek Vargo is ascending to the west terrace on the outside railing of the stairway. He is sprayed in the eyes with an inflammatory agent. Vargo reacts by heading back down the way he came when he is shoved off the wall by officer Bryant Williams, leading to a 25 foot drop. Vargo is carried away on a makeshift stretcher by officers and bystanders. Vargo suffered a fractured ankle and extensive mid foot injuries that would require surgeries to repair.
He lives with constant foot pain, pain in the middle of his spine, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder that causes him flashbacks and nightmares of being pushed off the railing. At 2:0:3 PM, the first dispersal order is heard coming from a mobile LRAD or long range acoustic device.
Speaker 1: All people must be
Speaker 0: DC law requires police to give 3 separate warning with the LRAD system and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or munitions to clear a protest crowd. At 2:0:6 PM, police retreat up the east steps of the capitol. Demonstrators soon follow and ascend the steps. We hear the LRAD again at 2:0:7 PM. They are to comply with this order.
They subject you to arrest. It's unlikely that demonstrators heard either of these warnings given the situation on the plaza, which calls into question the earlier stated DC law that requires these announcements to be clearly audible and to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse. Back on the east side of the capital at 2:0:9 PM, Hunter Emke is seen kicking in and punching multiple windows.
Speaker 1: He is quickly tackled and
Speaker 0: detained by police. He is quickly tackled and detained by police. At 2:10 PM, demonstrators reach the west terrace and push through police barricades. They will quickly move to what will become the first points of entry to the interior of the Capitol. A man throws a 2 by 4 through a glass pane, the first such broken window on the west side of the capitol.
Shortly thereafter, Dominic Pizzola pushes the window in using a police riot shield. Protesters will soon enter the building through these breach points. At 2:12, Ray Epps sends a text message to his nephew telling him that he orchestrated the protest at the capitol and that he helped get people there. The video evidence we have seen thus far seems to back up his claim.
Speaker 1: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza of the capital, officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd. This crowd management round contains approximately 18 rubber balls.
Speaker 3: Hey, I need a round.
Speaker 1: Do you have CF?
Speaker 0: 30 seconds later, he's given a baton round, a round that contains 3 40 millimeter rubber projectiles. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 2:16 PM, the parliamentarian doors are open from the inside, providing another access point for demonstrators to enter the building. Down on the west plaza, officer Thao refers to police activity as, quote, shooting zombies.
Speaker 1: Alright. We're completely around.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 4: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule 1.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers, where one officer admits that they're hitting innocent people.
Speaker 3: To win. To win.
Speaker 1: To win. Win. I know. Right. We're gonna win that option.
We'll get them with a lot of pain for flying.
Speaker 3: And and not only that, we're taking out 1 and 10 of them are getting way grayer. It's it's we're multiplying them by
Speaker 0: At 2:24 PM, John Earl Sullivan is recording as he is one of the first of the demonstrators to enter the Capitol rotunda.
Speaker 1: 2021, y'all. This is insanity. Holy shit. What is this? What is life?
Speaker 0: At the same time, a few blocks away, MPD officers are discussing new plans to enter the capital to support US Capitol Police. We're gonna burn that
Speaker 1: building now. That's fine. And we'll figure it out. Alright. They better reach out to the military right now is what they better do.
Get the national guard suited up.
Speaker 0: Get them down here.
Speaker 1: Do you know where, we're suiting up. We're going in.
Speaker 3: We are?
Speaker 1: Yes. Where? Damn. Ready to hear that?
Speaker 0: Still at 2:24 PM, Mike Pence has moved from the senate chamber to his office across the hall. The senate remains in session as senator for Kentucky Mitch McConnell speaks on the floor. Also, at 2:24 PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth. This would be a significant tweet to the January 6th committee for they claimed that it was the motivation for a surge into the capital complex.
Speaker 8: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 2:24 PM tweet, the crowds both outside the capital and inside the capital surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6th committee failed to mention was that it was officers misusing and CS gas at that same time that led to a surge.
Speaker 3: Hey, Rich. Put it
Speaker 1: over the scaffolding.
Speaker 0: At the urging of officer Thao, a DC MPD officer attempts to fire a CS gas canister into the crowd.
Speaker 1: We're fired up in here. Over there.
Speaker 3: Alright. Before this, I don't have my I got it.
Speaker 1: Go. Just
Speaker 0: A short time later, after being gassed out, the police are forced to fall back and they soon lose their position. As officers on the west plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the west plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within 3 minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the west plaza entirely collapses. Back on the east side at 2:24 PM, demonstrators are able to force open doors from the inside.
These are the Columbus doors which lead a short way to the rotunda of the capitol. Back outside on the west plaza, an elderly woman is violently pushed by police down a set of concrete stairs 3 times, which incites the crowd around her.
Speaker 1: Hey. Did you hear that? Yeah. We're trying to make it to, the Hennepin Gardens. We're going in.
Alright.
Speaker 3: Down in long guns?
Speaker 1: Yes. Straight up. Any any munitions you have, CDU.
Speaker 0: At 2:28 PM, in an interesting exchange, a press photographer on scene at the east entrance of the Capitol taps a demonstrator on his hip and shoulder to move him out of the way so he can presumably get a better shot of the action. Back out on the south side of the west plaza, a demonstrator is taken down by 6 police officers. He receives multiple punches while in a face down, prone position. At 2:30 PM, a security camera at the crypt lobby shows demonstrators gaining access to the capitol via overhead lift doors. At this same time, the house is called into final recess.
Speaker 4: Without objection, the house is gonna go back into recess.
Speaker 0: At 2:31 PM, Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser orders a curfew from 6 PM that evening to 6 AM the following morning. At 2:33 PM, a frustrated police officer can be heard venting about being, in his words, set up.
Speaker 1: They set up the up. That's what they did. They set us up. They set up 64. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: And then they asked
Speaker 1: about to come in 2 hours later. They set us up. They needed everybody that way. No. By the way, they set up the police up.
Speaker 3: I'm a be as real as I it can be. We are going to get overrun on the steps of the Capitol right now.
Speaker 1: We're getting hammered. Okay?
Speaker 3: If you guys go down there, the paint compliance is working very minimally. There's 10,000 to 1. We're gonna lose the steps, and and we're getting people hurt like a mother
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the west side of the Capitol while police officers watch them walk through the doors. Just feet away at 2:35 PM, minutes after losing the West Plaza, officer Alioto throws a gas canister from the west terrace into the crowd that has a mast on the west plaza. This, along with other gas canisters sent into the crowds, gets thrown back at the officers. Most of these officers still do not have gas masks. At the same time on the west terrace, officers are repeating the same mistakes they made one level lower on the west plaza.
An errant CS gas round is again fired into their held position on the west terrace. The spreading gas will eventually effectuate a retreat back into the capital through a narrow tunnel. This mistake would prove to be incredibly significant for the events that are yet to come. The retreat into the capital through the west terrace tunnel would create the conditions for the next standoff between demonstrators and police that would take place over the following hours. Instead of showing force outside of the tunnel, the police make the questionable decision of barricading themselves behind locked double doors, giving up the tactical position, and retreating to a defensive posture.
While the police make their stand inside the West Terrace Tunnel, at 2:38 PM, Donald Trump sends out a tweet addressing the actions at the Capitol. It reads, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. At 2:39 PM, Metropolitan Police Department reinforcements arrive at the Capitol, entering through the east carriage door.
At the same time, police officers discuss being unprepared for what they encountered.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we are coming up for this. I wanna make sure we all had our masks. I realize how bad I
Speaker 6: they set us up to fail. They did. There was no way we were winning that. And you've now you got at least 4 platoons that are just gassed out. Yeah.
Literally. Because us, 54 doesn't have masks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, remember, we're supposed to be rapid response just to buy time for any more platoons to come. They didn't come.
Speaker 6: They didn't ask for
Speaker 1: him. Who cares about the street, like, my order lies?
Speaker 6: Get yes. To secure the capital.
Speaker 0: At 2:42 PM, journalist Taylor Hanson is walking behind Ashley Babbitt, an air force veteran from California, as she turns a corner and approaches the speaker's lobby guarded by 3 police officers. MPD officer Luke Foskett approaches a window and looks out upon the crowd on the western side of the capitol building.
Speaker 3: You're live. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Moments later, members of the house seek shelter in the gallery while officers barricade entry into the chamber. It is at this moment that the only firearm to be discharged inside the capitol that day can be loudly heard. The story of that gunshot is quite possibly the most tragic story of that day.
Speaker 3: Woah. Here's the gun.
Speaker 1: Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun.
Speaker 0: The shot heard was a single round fired by Lieutenant Michael Byrd. It strikes Ashley Babbitt in the neck. And she falls back into the upper landing of the stairwell.
Speaker 3: One shot in the capital. Report of a shooting in the capital. Trying to ascertain information now.
Speaker 0: At 2:46 PM, approximately the same time as Ashley Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police officer Bird, a series of smoke and signal flares are activated at various locations around the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Flare. There's some kind of a flare in the sky there.
Speaker 0: As the smoke clears, we again spot Ray Epps leaving the area and flanked by several individuals before leaving the capitol grounds for the day. Meanwhile, demonstrators continue to enter the capitol building. The first demonstrator enters the senate chamber.
Speaker 3: Senate 7, we got protesters that are outside of the, senate chamber.
Speaker 0: Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the senate chamber will become a significant location of the day along with the capitol rotunda, the capitol corridors, and the West Terrace tunnel. Prior to this point in the day, many demonstrators were free to roam the hallways and chambers of the building, meeting little resistance from Capitol Police.
Speaker 1: The police here are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our first amendment allowed. Gather for Americans under the condition that they will come and gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country.
Speaker 0: Capitol police officer Robichaux asks a small group of demonstrators to remain peaceful.
Speaker 1: Show us. No escaping. No assault. Remain calm. We're not doing We're not going to be heard.
Everybody, this must be peaceful. This has to be peaceful. We have the right to peacefully assemble.
Speaker 0: Robichaud then proceeds to escort at least one demonstrator, Jacob Chancely, throughout various locations in the capital. At 2:46 PM, additional demonstrators continue to enter the senate chamber. Security footage shows no capitol police presence in the senate chamber at this time. At this point in the day, many of the demonstrators on the outside have no idea the Capitol has even been breached. Let's go back to the multi view to see what's going on around the Capitol grounds.
On the southeast side, a group of MPD officers arrive to assist capitol police with clearing out the inside of the capitol.
Speaker 3: 1 point 2 ground. We're sending MPD through the south door of the capitol. There's about 25 units in hard gear.
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza, an enormous American flag has been draped over the scaffolding. On the east side of the capitol, demonstrators have overtaken the stairs and continue to gather on the lawn. Back in the rotunda at 2:48 PM, we see demonstrators peacefully roaming around and taking photographs. The only law enforcement officers visible are standing in the doorway. As demonstrators continue to roam the hallways, one officer has a concerning realization.
Speaker 3: They make it up here. They can go right to the center floor.
Speaker 1: They just don't realize it.
Speaker 0: Back at the West Terrace tunnel, a demonstrator activates a fire extinguisher into the tunnel towards dozens of law enforcement officers. Wanna put Put
Speaker 1: Right now. No. No. Wait.
Speaker 3: Okay. Because we gotta get numbers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing stars right now.
Speaker 0: Inside the senate chamber, demonstrators are rummaging through desks looking for intel.
Speaker 3: Objection to the Arizona. Objection.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna sell us out all
Speaker 0: The stand The stand off back at the West Terrace tunnel continues with more demonstrators arriving on the outside and more officers arriving on the inside.
Speaker 1: Get it put it over there. We're gonna drop it this way, then you lock it to the door. We close this off. Get your arms through these shields. You know how to put your arms get we have a hard platoon guy here.
You. Show them how to lock the shields together and hold the shields. Hey. Hold it. Hold it, baby.
It's the only way we're gonna hold this door.
Speaker 0: At 2:55 PM, law enforcement begins to move
Speaker 1: You need to give up communism for what you need to do. You need to give up communism for protecting these people. We're patriots. What's it cost for you to betray your
Speaker 0: But they continue to struggle to control the rotunda and West Plaza tunnel. Richard Barnett, the demonstrator who posed for this photo in house speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, attempts to persuade an officer to let him back in to retrieve his flag.
Speaker 3: Corey King Frankler, informational. I have a group of about 20 to 30 officers that are cordoned off on the south side of the front of stairs. We're just gonna hold the line over here, then we get some kind of control on this crowd. There's no enforcement we can take at this time.
Speaker 1: Hey. Hey, man. Glad to see you guys. You guys are Patriots. Look at this guy.
He's got covered in blood. God bless you. You good, sir? Do you need medical attention? I'm good.
Thank you. Alright.
Speaker 0: Jacob Chanceley takes a seat at the senate dais. He decides to leave a note for vice president Pence.
Speaker 1: Now that you've done that, can I get you guys to walk out of this room, please? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Listen. There's 4,000,000 people coming in,
Speaker 1: so we're out of control. We love the guys. We love the cops. Before they proceed. It's only a matter of time.
Justice is coming. Alright. Thank you, heavenly father, for bringing us with this opportunity. Break up. That's your MPD.
Speaker 3: Sir, I have 75 people inside the senate chambers just for information. They are going through desks and on top of podium.
Speaker 0: Back at the rotunda, dozens of MPD officers prepare to clear out all of the demonstrators.
Speaker 3: 105. I'm currently at the main door to the senate chamber.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, officer.
Speaker 0: Back at the scuffle at the West Terrace tunnel, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Leading up to the tunnel are a series of steps that the demonstrators are having trouble navigating. It is a very tense and dangerous situation in this area. For over an hour, the police have been inside the building behind the inner doors while demonstrators have occupied the tunnel. At 3:13 PM, President Trump sends another tweet.
He writes, I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order. Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you.
Speaker 3: 405 John is advising they need additional assets.
Speaker 0: At 3:19 PM, the police successfully expel the demonstrators from the tunnel.
Speaker 3: I tried it.
Speaker 0: During the skirmish, a US Capitol Police officer is dragged into the crowd of demonstrators. He is later returned to the police line and heads back to to safety inside the tunnel.
Speaker 1: We have
Speaker 0: got it. The demonstrators manage to hold their ground and begin to push the police back into the tunnel. This sets the stage for the final tragic conflict. Demonstrators and police are engaged in physical altercations. Sprayed chemical agents are lingering in the narrow hallway.
Speaker 2: I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us.
Speaker 0: At 4:17 PM, president Trump posts a 1 minute video to his Twitter account urging demonstrators to stay peaceful and go home.
Speaker 2: We have to have peace. We have to have law and order
Speaker 0: Twitter quickly attached a warning label on the video which read, this claim of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence. This limited the reach of the message. Minutes later, Twitter would remove the entire video message from its platform.
Speaker 2: I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 0: As the demonstrators are pushed back by police, they fall on top of each other. Some are pressed against the ground, unable to move. A woman named Roseanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, finds herself pinned under the deluge of bodies. The situation is critical.
Speaker 1: No. I can't. No. What's that? Collapsed inside that that corridor from an asphyxiation.
She couldn't breathe. Brought her out onto the main steps outside of that. Several people started doing CPR on her. I tried to get her carotid pulse for several minutes and even I cut part of her jeans away so that I could try to fill her femoral pulse, and I couldn't fill her femoral force at all. By the time that they decided to take the person up and give them to the police officer, she had blue lips and blood was coming out of her nose.
Speaker 3: Man, where does DC fire need to go for that CPR CPR that's going on?
Speaker 1: Didn't seem hopeful at all. I don't I don't think that person will be revived.
Speaker 0: Officers transport Boylan inside the tunnel and begin CPR. I'm passing that.
Speaker 1: Help. Hey. Let me get
Speaker 3: Could you please send the ambulance that is coming for the code down at Lower West Terrace to the house door for entry?
Speaker 1: Oh, she's stuck, bro.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. She got I think she got stuck under there. She fell down and
Speaker 3: That's terrible? Yeah.
Speaker 0: Boylan is transported inside for one last revival attempt.
Speaker 3: CDU 70, they're destroying the media equipment over here at the Senate AG. Got me. Should we buy protesters are
Speaker 0: At 5 PM, as the citywide 6 PM curfew looms, police are making progress securing the capitol and a steady stream of demonstrators leave the capitol grounds. At 5:10 PM, police use tear gas to drive the remaining demonstrators from the capitol's upper levels. Over the PA system, an announcement is made that all individuals are required to leave Capitol Hill or be subject to arrest. At 5:40 PM, national guard troops begin to arrive at the capitol to secure
Speaker 3: the premises.
Speaker 0: 1 minute after the curfew goes into effect, Donald Trump sends out a final message to his supporters that day. At 8 PM, the capitol is declared secure.
Speaker 6: Today was a dark day in the history of the United States capital.
Speaker 0: Shortly after at 8:0:6 PM, the senate resumes debate over the certification of Arizona's vote in the senate chamber. The house would reconvene about an hour later.
Speaker 1: Not. How
Speaker 0: are The election results will be certified. And 14 days later, Joe Biden will walk down the same tunnel and stairs where the police and demonstrators fought for hours and where Roseanne Boylan took her last breath to be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. January 6, 2021, a day of hope and patriotism that turned into a day of chaos and tragedy. For the past 3 years, the shadow of January 6th looms large in our politics, in our culture, and in our national conversation. Are we any closer to understanding the events of that day?
Are we still in the timeline of January 6th?

Video Transcript AI Summary
The events on January 6th are often labeled as an insurrection, but this characterization is misleading. Initially, reports described it as a riot, and the term "insurrection" only emerged later to demonize those involved. The actions taken by citizens were a response to their frustrations, not an organized attempt to overthrow the government. For an event to be classified as an insurrection, there must be a clear hierarchy and intent to replace a government, which was not the case here. The Capitol remains intact, and the situation was not comparable to true insurrections seen elsewhere. It's important to educate young people about these distinctions and not let them be misled by sensationalized narratives.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The events that occurred on January 6th, we call them the capital event. Would you say that it was a demonstration in culture,
Speaker 1: or
Speaker 0: would you say that was a democratic demonstration?
Speaker 1: That's the first big lie Americans have ever been told in this country. Forget about Nixon. What are they calling? Insurrection. Insurrection, they call it.
It's so sad and cruel for a country to label young people who did what is just normal and put this label on them for the rest of their lives. Go and play every footage of the cameras that were there live that day. Okay? The live ones that saw the thing happening. Not a single reporter referred to it as an insurrection.
They said there is a riot at the capital. When do you think the word insurrection started? 5 PM when they have taken the rear back to the editorial room, and they know who was in office, and they're finding a way to demonize him. Somebody we expect we should start calling this an insurrection.
Speaker 0: Mhmm. Well, do you think that they only demonized him because they say that he lamented
Speaker 1: He didn't lament anything.
Speaker 0: That he
Speaker 1: What I believe is what happened at the Capitol is what is supposed to happen anyway. So if the citizens who elected these people, who pays for the building they live in and work in are pissed off and they want their voice to be heard, they went to the right place. That was not an insurrection. An insurrection requires a hierarchy, an insignia, a name, a mission, we call it an insurrection.
Speaker 0: Well, there's are people that would argue that they did have all of that. I'm not saying I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that we're saying. You and I watched it and you and I know 85 broken tooth, over tattooed, ponytail caves don't scare a war with flagpoles and take over a government. Number 2, for you to overthrow a government, a new government has to be in place for you to overthrow that government. So whom were they overthrowing on general 6 when a guy has 14 more days according to the constitution? I may be wrong.
If a general 6th, do you know who will continue as commander in chief? Yeah. The president.
Speaker 0: That's correct.
Speaker 1: So whom was he overthrowing? They wanted something to demonize him. They started calling it an insurrection. It was not an insurrection. Nothing has happened to America.
The capital is still intact. The kids went there and made noise. What was an insurrection? What was happened in Seattle when they took a whole town and held it hostage for weeks? What happened in Minnesota when they touched down private people's business and homes to the tune of $300,000,000?
That is an insurrection. We have to wake up and inform our young ones not to be bought into this nonsense. Nothing happened on January 6th.

Video Transcript AI Summary
January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., saw the U.S. Capitol become the center of a chaotic event following a large rally where supporters gathered to express concerns over the election results. The day began peacefully, with crowds assembling at various locations, including the Ellipse for President Trump's speech. As Trump urged attendees to march to the Capitol, tensions escalated. Key moments included the first breach of barricades, the involvement of individuals like Ray Epps, and police responses that included the use of munitions. Tragically, several individuals lost their lives amid the chaos, including Ashley Babbitt, who was shot, and others who suffered medical emergencies. The day concluded with the Capitol being declared secure after a curfew was imposed, and Congress resumed its certification of the electoral votes later that evening. The events of January 6 continue to impact American politics and discourse.

Speaker 0: January 6, 2021. Washington DC. The US Capitol Building. An event that has been reported on more than any other in modern history. Despite excessive coverage, articles, books, documentaries, and congressional inquiries, many details about the timeline of events that day remain unknown to the public.
Understanding what actually happened on January 6th without bias and with as much context as possible is extremely difficult. News organizations and mass media have controlled the story of that day. Big tech and social media companies have censored, shadow banned, and deplatformed eyewitness accounts, which further skews and misrepresents the truth from that day. Many of us still do not know the names of those who were killed at the capital and the causes of their deaths. This video seeks to create a thorough and truthful timeline of the events of January 6th while shedding light on unheard stories, unseen footage, and new details.
When facts are cherry picked for the sake of political narratives, We The People suffer. Truth, not agenda, is the motivation for this timeline. Prior to January 6, 2021, there had been a hundreds of peaceful rallies following the November 2020 election. Polls showed that many Americans were concerned with election irregularities in key states that ended up deciding the presidential election for Joe Biden. None of these rallies ever turned violent.
The morning of January 6th started no different than any of those other rallies. American citizens showing up together to express their First Amendment protected right to petition their government with a meaningful concern. The mood of the crowd appeared to be joyful and hopeful. It would be the last chance to see the president give a large speech to the nation. To properly understand the events that would soon unfold, it's important to acknowledge that there were many areas of interest that day where crowds were congregating.
Those attending president Trump's speech assembled at the Ellipse, a 52 acre park located directly south of the White House and approximately 1 mile from the Capitol. Space was limited there, and the crowd was so big that a sea of people extended all the way to the Washington Monument. Elsewhere in Washington DC, crowds would assemble in the morning at both the west and the east side of the capitol. Still others would loiter in the vicinity to await the next event that would take place that day, of which there were multiple permit holders in the area. In our first look inside the capitol building at 11:21 AM, CCTV picks up VP elect Kamala Harris exiting the building through the east senate carriage doors.
At 11:41 AM, Ryan Samsel, a man who will later be pivotal in the first breach of the capitol, crosses the street past multiple officers. Seconds later, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, wearing plain clothes is seen crossing the same intersection. Sherwin would go on to lead the investigations of Samsel and hundreds of others. 4 minutes later, the same officer whose body cam recorded that interaction is moving through the crowd, responding to a call of a person with a gun. The crowd is compliant as the officers move through the space.
They reach their intended target, and after a few minutes of questioning, let the man go. He had no firearm and was only carrying a knife.
Speaker 1: I almost saw that handle and thought it was a hand gun. Oh, yeah. This is my car. Okay? There's no question or issues.
Alright. Issues. Yeah. Alright. Alright.
Be safe. Thank you. You too. You guys be safe. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
President Trump took the microphone at 12:0:1 PM.
Speaker 2: Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I when I turned on today, I looked and I saw thousands of people here, but you don't see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don't wanna show that.
Speaker 0: The president gave a speech that morning that was very similar in tone and in style to the many campaign speeches and post election speeches he had given to audiences around the country.
Speaker 1: So I'm listening to the speech in my ear, thanks to Scott.
Speaker 0: At the exact time that Trump begins his speech, a live streamer is at Peace Circle at the precise location that the first Capitol Barricade breach will occur 53 minutes later. You can see the metal bike rack fencing separating the street from the sidewalks in front of the capitol building. These area closed signs were posted in compliance with a restriction that went into effect September 7, 2020 due to the construction of the inauguration stage. At 12:0:4 PM, a group of demonstrators, including members of the Proud Boys, are seen walking west on Constitution Avenue toward First Street while being flanked by police officers from the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna win it. Flanked by the DCPD. 60 3 pages.
Speaker 0: 15 minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the Capitol. For context, let's hear the president's full remarks during this portion of his speech.
Speaker 2: Now it is up to congress
Speaker 1: to
Speaker 2: confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk down we're gonna walk down anyone you want, but I think right here, we're gonna walk down to the capital and we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not gonna be cheering so much for some of them because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.
I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes following these remarks, the group of proud boys and demonstrators seen previously being flanked by the DCMPD have stopped for lunch at a row of food trucks in front of the US Department of Labor on Constitution Avenue. Eddie Block, seen here in a scooter, tells a live streamer the immediate plans of the group.
Speaker 1: Where, where are we headed? We're heading back
Speaker 3: to the route.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Was there was there nothing going on at the, Capitol? Tomorrow. We're over here. Not really.
Not really. We're just kinda marching around letting people know we're here. Okay. Good time. Yeah.
Alright.
Speaker 0: 6 minutes after this interaction, at 12:30 PM, the US Capitol Police report a very large group heading to the Capitol from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue at approximately Seventh Street.
Speaker 4: Cruiser 50. It does look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge heading east.
Speaker 0: At the same time, police body cam records police intervening between Trump supporters and a counter protester. The police encourage the crowd to keep marching toward the capitol.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys. Let's keep the march going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going.
Speaker 0: President Trump won't be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another 40 minutes. During this time, a man named Ray Epps was filmed on the streets directing the crowd to the capitol building.
Speaker 1: As soon as president Trump is finished speaking, we are going to the capitol in that direction. That's where our true problems are. President Trump is done speaking. We are going to the Capitol. That's where our problem we are going to the Capitol.
Where our problems are. It's that direction.
Speaker 0: He was filmed the night prior, urging the crowd to go inside the Capitol.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out there. I'm probably gonna go to jail for it. Okay? Tomorrow, we need to go into the capitol. Into the capitol.
Peacefully.
Speaker 0: The crowd surrounding him instantly calls him out as a fed. At 12:35 PM, Mike Pence's motorcade is seen heading to the capitol, turning left on Constitution Avenue from Louisiana Avenue.
Speaker 1: Call go stop. Where am I? Stay back. Stay back, please. Alright.
Let's stop. Stay back.
Speaker 0: A minute later, at 12:36, vice president Mike Pence arrives at the US Capitol. The vice president's motor cave has just arrived at the Capitol in advance of the joint session. The certification is to begin in 24 minutes at 1 PM Eastern. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the east plaza of the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Mike Wagner.
Speaker 0: At this exact moment, president Trump is mentioning Mike Pence's upcoming certification at his speech on the Ellipse over a mile away.
Speaker 2: But now they see all this stuff. It's all come to life. Doesn't happen that fast. And they wanna recertify their votes. They wanna recertify.
But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: A minute later at 12:45 PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the capitol. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway, a path that leads directly to the west side of the capitol.
Speaker 3: Are you aware of the US Capitol Police directive initiated by then sergeant at arms Paul Irving to the architect of the Capitol sent on January 5th to move approximately 500 bike racks serving as security barricades away from First Street Northeast and Constitution Avenue to the east front?
Speaker 5: No, sir. I'm not aware of that. We have not, delved into that.
Speaker 3: This week, we've uncovered emails from the architect of the capitol where it's clear that this was directed by the house sergeant at arms against legitimate security concerns from the AOC where the AOC, rep Blanton, called it illogical. This is yet another example of the dysfunction of the security decision making process of the Capitol Police Board.
Speaker 0: Back outside where the crowd has gathered at Peace Circle, there are 2 sets of metal barricades here behind which only 5 Capitol police officers can be seen guarding this entrance while every member of congress convenes in the building behind them. Just south of this path, a man in a black ski mask removes a barrier and waves the crowd onto the west lawn of the capitol, while members in the crowd shout at him. With this view, you can see the moment that the first set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the second set of gates. Ryan Samsel, who we saw earlier in white hoodie and red baseball cap, approaches the police line. This would become the first major breach of the capitol grounds and skirmish with capitol police.
We will show this crucial interaction in its entirety and use multiple angles to see what happens at this all important flash point. Ray Epps, who we just saw calling for demonstrators to enter the capital, can be seen approaching the front of the barricades and speaking to Ryan Samsel. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line. After the gate is forcefully pushed forward, US Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards is knocked to the ground. Ryan Samsel immediately runs to her aid to help her get back on her feet.
The first violent skirmish of the day between demonstrators and police had begun.
Speaker 1: President
Speaker 0: Trump remains speaking on the Ellipse.
Speaker 2: In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification machines were purposely lowered before they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa Claus, it would go through.
Speaker 0: Just to the south at the First Street Southwest in Maryland Avenue Circle, demonstrators knocked down a second gate. Crowds are now advancing on the west front of the capitol from two locations. With multiple lightly manned police barricades down, the enlivened crowd makes their way quickly to the next barrier, the metal gates in front of the west plaza of the capital. Samsel can be seen tapping the shoulder of officer Edwards and saying something to her. Looking over the west side of the capitol from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the west plaza.
From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol grounds may have seen no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. At 12:58 PM, the lightweight fencing on the west lawn is pulled down completely by just a few people. It is on this fence that signs with the words area closed are affixed. Thousands of people who will walk up to the capitol after 1 PM will never see these signs. USA.
USA. USA.
Speaker 1: USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.
USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.
USA. USA.
Speaker 0: Zooming in closer to the northwest corner of the plaza, we once again see Ray Epps at the head of the crowd in front of the next set of police barricades. So far, we've seen him the previous day calling for the crowd to enter the capital. We saw him that morning, directing people to the capital. We saw him at the first gate breach, and now here he is at the second major gate breach. And it won't be the last we see of him.
Directly in front of him is where the crowd breaches the metal gates and enters onto the west plaza of the capital. At 12:59 PM, a man on the northwest sidewalk collapses.
Speaker 1: Can you please have someone respond to my location? The bottom of the front with an individual that's down here, unconscious and not briefed.
Speaker 0: The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania who traveled to DC to support president Trump. A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life saving measures. While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, inside the capitol, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes. President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that has already amassed at the capitol.
Speaker 2: Clear evidence that tens of thousands of votes were switched from president Trump to former vice president Biden.
Speaker 6: Madam speaker, members of congress, pursuant to the constitution and the laws of the United States, the senate and house of representatives are meeting in joint session. Verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors in several states, president and vice president of the United States.
Speaker 0: Back outside on the west plaza, United States Capitol Police Deputy Chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 1: Unit 6, I need less lethal teams that could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position.
Speaker 4: They're not compliant, climbing, stapling. Let me know when
Speaker 1: the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: 1 minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 1:0:6 PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 1: Unit 6, I got a crowd fighting with officer, pushing, throwing projectile. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need the less lethal munitions. I need the left and legal team positioned above me to identify the agitator to start deploying. Launch.
Launch. Launch.
Speaker 0: US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek.
Speaker 1: You're shooting us. Oh, we don't. We need medical something. Are wrong. Wrong.
Wrong. Wrong.
Speaker 0: Safety procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level.
Speaker 1: I was at the front line trying to to keep the peace between the hatred trying to to keep the peace between the Patriots and the people that were hired by the government. And, I I caught a shot to the face, and then, that's about it.
Speaker 0: Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 4: Chris, I got the I need more the best and legal teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still, not compliant. We've continued to give, I've continued to give possible warnings about, chemical munitions being released. They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, no video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, officers must issue at least 3 clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system, as well as to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse and a clear safe route for dispersal. Just feet away, Benjamin Phillips fights for his life. He has been down on the ground and not breathing for 13 minutes.
Speaker 1: 1:30. Where's the ambulance for this guy on the lower west?
Speaker 0: President Trump is finishing his speech at the Ellipse at 1:12 PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around the capitol in real time.
Speaker 2: So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and god bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Ballot from Arizona.
Speaker 6: Is the objection in writing and signed by a senator?
Speaker 2: Yes. It is.
Speaker 0: As representative Paul Gosar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house, MPD officer Daniel Thau arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray Epps can be seen in the area that the police are trying to control. Back where we can see simultaneous angles, we can see Trump waving to the crowd after his 1 hour and 11 minute speech, The last speech he will give in front of a crowd as president of the United States. Gosar and Cruz are having their objections to the electoral vote of Arizona read on the house floor.
Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. Appreciate you guys.
Speaker 0: At 1:13 PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 1: Hey. We need more ammunition. Hey. We need blaster. What do we got?
I'm panicking it. We gotta get something, man. Hold on. We got the back.
Speaker 0: At 1:15 PM, officer Thau crosses the line and engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges 2 rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD.
Speaker 1: 2 ECDs at 1.
Speaker 0: He then witnesses what he calls an APO or an assault on a police officer.
Speaker 1: APO. No.
Speaker 0: With 30 officers between him and the crowd, it's unclear what assault he thought he saw in that moment. A few 100 feet away, back on the northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
Speaker 1: Hello, sir. They're hanging the patient up to the ambulance right now. They are refusing to come down.
Speaker 0: Tragically, Phillips would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. Benjamin Phillips leaves behind 2 teenage children. Back inside the capitol building at 1:17 PM, vice president Mike Pence and senators return to the senate chamber to debate the electoral vote challenge put forth by representative Paul Gosar. At 1:17 PM, a second wave of DC Metropolitan Police officers show up on the east side of the capital. They are the first to bring in explosive ammunition rounds that they will soon distribute to officers on the west plaza.
Officer Tara Tindall is crouched on the ground readying CS gas
Speaker 1: routes.
Speaker 0: After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the west terrace of the capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd. Commander, we need that.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Just shoot it. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
Speaker 0: Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. At 1:21 PM, the explosive munitions that arrived 4 minutes earlier have made their way to officers on the west plaza. The first one fired into the crowd can be seen on the lower right of your screen.
No. At 1:24 PM, on scene commander officer Robert Glover gives the first audible authorization to deploy explosives into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Deploy. They fall. They fall. Deploy.
Speaker 0: The demonstrators at the west plaza of the capital will be hit by an unrelenting barrage of grenades, incendiaries, rubber bullets, and gas for the next hour.
Speaker 1: Hey. Hey. Fire. We got another individual down. People are going to see people on the DC part of the process.
It's all here to take that.
Speaker 0: At 1:28 PM, a man has collapsed on the west plaza and is attended to by people in the crowd.
Speaker 1: They can't get anybody in here, and the cops are throwing flashbangs into the crowd.
Speaker 0: He is unresponsive for several minutes. Fearing the risk of trampling, they carry him to a different location where they continue to try to resuscitate him.
Speaker 1: He's been he's having a heart attack. He's been on the ground for 6 minutes. They carried him. Him. They've been doing CPR.
I think that man probably died.
Speaker 0: I hope they saved his life. Kevin Greeson leaves behind a wife and 5 children. Around 1:30 PM, on the southwest side of the plaza, officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour. Just inside the capitol, representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from California, is responding to the challenge of the electoral count.
Speaker 7: The votes are simply to be counted as certified and transmitted by the states.
Speaker 0: At 1:32 PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just going to make things worse.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna make it worse. Hey, stop. Hold. Hold fire. Hold fire.
Hold fire. Hold fire. Hey. Hold fire. Hold fire.
Get the shit. Get the fuck. Hold fire.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his mind and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd.
Speaker 1: I'm coming out with smoke. I got the burner by the way.
Speaker 0: A burner or hot burning smoke grenade can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 1: They come down for it? Hey. Can they throw it back? They did. Okay.
Speaker 0: The smoke grenade is tossed back behind the police line by someone in the crowd. Eric.
Speaker 1: Eric, do we have any scat rounds?
Speaker 0: Officer Thao goes back for more rounds. This time, it's a CS gas canister.
Speaker 1: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: A triple chaser consists of 3 separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart, allowing increased area coverage. After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, officer Thau appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier.
Speaker 1: I got a triple chaser on that. Yes. I know. But this is a triple chaser. I know.
But just splint it. I mean, I got people.
Speaker 0: Another captain tells officer Thau to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd.
Speaker 1: Take your step back. Take your step back.
Speaker 0: At around this same time, Ray Epps is once again caught from multiple cameras being at the front line of the demonstrators near police barricades. No other person has been seen at this many flash points this many times. He walks freely up and down the police barricades multiple times, communicating with other demonstrators in a similar fashion to when we saw him whisper in Ryan Samsel's ear earlier before the first breach. Around 1:40 PM, Ray Epps is one of the members of the crowd who helps lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the west plaza of the capitol. At 1:41 PM, body cam footage from officer Anthony Alioto records a discussion about the dangers of using CS gas in their situation.
The officer petitions not to have Robert Glover, the on scene commander, authorize use of CS gas in the area.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is do not let Glover authorize CS. I don't know. I don't know. I don't just I have a problem for all.
Speaker 0: 8 minutes later, at 1:49 PM, a riot is officially declared at the US Capitol.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get compliance, but this is now effectively a riot.
Speaker 8: 1:49 hours declaring it a riot.
Speaker 0: The fears of officer Alioto are soon realized when at 1:50 PM, officers use CS gas on the northwest side of the plaza, and effectively gas themselves with aid from the wind. You can see multiple officers struggling from the effects of the CS gas.
Speaker 1: Tina, be careful. It's blowing right back. I know. Yeah. It's in my it's in my eye.
You want it? Here. Don't rub it. You know that. No.
No. No. You're breaking.
Speaker 0: Over on the east side of the capitol, the gates have successfully held the crowd back for over an hour from when the west side was first breached. At 1:59 PM, that all changes. The demonstrators overpower the police and begin to make their way toward the East Steps.
Speaker 1: Police are squabbling with protesters. Oh, there we go. And they just reached the castle again.
Speaker 0: Back on the northwest side of the capital, a man named Derek Vargo is ascending to the west terrace on the outside railing of the stairway. He is sprayed in the eyes with an inflammatory agent. Vargo reacts by heading back down the way he came when he is shoved off the wall by officer Bryant Williams, leading to a 25 foot drop. Vargo is carried away on a makeshift stretcher by officers and bystanders. Vargo suffered a fractured ankle and extensive mid foot injuries that would require surgeries to repair.
He lives with constant foot pain, pain in the middle of his spine, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder that causes him flashbacks and nightmares of being pushed off the railing. At 2:0:3 PM, the first dispersal order is heard coming from a mobile LRAD or long range acoustic device. DC law requires police to give 3 separate warning with the LRAD system and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or munitions to clear a protest crowd. At 2:0:6 PM, police retreat up the east steps of the capitol. Demonstrators soon follow and ascend the steps.
We hear the LRAD again at 2:0:7 PM. They are to comply with this order, and they subject you to a ref. It's unlikely that demonstrators heard either of these warnings given the situation on the plaza, which calls into question the earlier stated DC law that requires these announcements to be clearly audible and to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse. Back on the east side of the capitol at 2:0:9 PM, Hunter Emke is seen kicking in and punching multiple windows. He is quickly tackled and detained by police.
At 2:10 PM, demonstrators reach the west terrace and push through police barricades. They will quickly move to what will become the first points of entry to the interior of the capital. A man throws a 2 by 4 through a glass pane, the first such broken window on the west side of the capitol. Shortly thereafter, Dominic Pizzola pushes the window in using a police riot shield. Protesters will soon enter the building through these breach points.
At 2:12, Ray Epps sends a text message to his nephew telling him that he orchestrated the protest at the Capitol and that he helped get people there. The video evidence we have seen thus far seems to back up his claim.
Speaker 1: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza of the capital, officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd. This crowd management round contains approximately 18 rubber balls.
Speaker 1: Hey, I need a round. Good CF.
Speaker 0: 30 seconds later, he's given a baton round, a round that contains 3 40 millimeter rubber projectiles. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 2:16 PM, the parliamentarian doors are open from the inside, providing another access point for demonstrators to enter the building. Down on the west plaza, officer Thao refers to police activity as, quote, shooting zombies.
Speaker 1: Zombies. Alright. We're completely around.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, after a few minutes of confusion inside the room, the house calls a recess during its debate over an objection to the electoral votes from Arizona.
Speaker 9: Without objection, the chair declares the house in recess pursuant to clause 12 b of rule 1.
Speaker 0: At 2:18 PM, police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers, where one officer admits that they're hitting innocent people. You guys.
Speaker 1: We have nothing to help. We're gonna win that off. Yeah. I know. Right.
We're gonna win that off for them. We'll get them away. A lot of pain supplies when you hit these people. And and not only that, we're taking out 1 and 10 of them are getting reindeer. It's it's we're multiplying them by hitting them.
Speaker 0: At 2:24 PM, John Earl Sullivan is recording as he is one of the first of the demonstrators to enter the Capitol rotunda.
Speaker 1: 20 21,
Speaker 2: y'all. This is insanity. Holy what is this? What is life?
Speaker 0: At the same time, a few blocks away, MPD officers are discussing new plans to enter the Capitol to support US Capitol Police. They're gonna burn that
Speaker 1: building now. That's fine. And we'll figure it out. Alright. They better reach out to the military right now is what they better do.
Get the national guards to do the
Speaker 9: get them down here.
Speaker 1: Do you know where, we're suiting up or going in? We are? Yes. Where? Damn.
Are you here that?
Speaker 0: Still at 2:24 PM, Mike Pence has moved from the senate chamber to his office across the hall. The senate remains in session as senator for Kentucky Mitch McConnell speaks on the floor. Also, at 2:24 PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth. This would be a significant tweet to the January 6th committee, for they claimed that it was the motivation for a surge into the capital complex.
Speaker 10: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 2:24 PM tweet, the crowds both outside the capital and inside the capital surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6th committee failed to mention was that it was officers misusing munitions and CS gas at that same time that led to a surge.
Speaker 1: Hey, Rich. Yeah. Put up the scaffolding.
Speaker 0: At the urging of officer Thao, a DC MPD officer attempts to fire a CS gas canister into the crowd.
Speaker 1: We're fired up in here, man. Over there. Alright. Before this, I don't have my I got it. Go.
Just
Speaker 0: A short time later, after being gassed out, the police are forced to fall back, and they soon lose their position. As officers on the west plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the west plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within 3 minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the west plaza entirely collapses. Back on the east side at 2:24 PM, demonstrators are able to force open doors from the inside.
These are the Columbus doors, which lead a short way to the rotunda of the Capitol. Back outside on the west plaza, an elderly woman is violently pushed by police down a set of concrete stairs 3 times, which incites the crowd around her.
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Yep. We're trying to make it to, the end of the gardens. We're going in. Alright.
Down in long guns? What do you mean? Yes. Straight up. Any any munitions you have, CDU.
Speaker 0: At 2:28 PM, in an interesting exchange, a press photographer on scene at the east entrance of the capitol taps a demonstrator on his hip and shoulder to move him out of the way so he can presumably get a better shot of the action. Back out on the south side of the west plaza, a demonstrator is taken down by 6 police officers. He receives multiple punches while in a face down, prone position. At 2:30 PM, At 2:30 PM, a security camera at the crypt lobby shows demonstrators gaining access to the Capitol via overhead lift doors. At this same time, the house is called into final recess.
Speaker 9: Without objection, the house is gonna go back into recess.
Speaker 0: At 2:31 PM, Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser orders a curfew from 6 PM that evening to 6 AM the following morning. At 2:33 PM, a frustrated police officer can be heard venting about being, in his words, set up.
Speaker 1: They set up the up. That's what they did. They set up they set up 64. Oh, absolutely. K.
And then they asked y'all to come in 2 hours later. They set us up. I'm a be as real as I it can be. We are going to get overrun on the steps of the capital right now. We're getting hammered.
Okay? If you guys go down there, the appliances working very minimally. There's 10,000 to 1. You're gonna lose the steps, and we're getting people hurt like a mother
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the west side of the capitol while police officers watch them walk through the doors. Just feet away at 2:35 PM, minutes after losing the west plaza, officer Alioto throws a gas canister from the west terrace into the crowd that has a mast on the west plaza. This, along with other gas canisters sent into the crowds, gets thrown back at the officers. Most of these officers still do not have gas masks. At the same time on the west terrace, officers are repeating the same mistakes they made one level lower on the west plaza.
An errant CS gas round is again fired into their held position on the west terrace. The spreading gas will eventually effectuate a retreat back into the capital through a narrow tunnel. This mistake would prove to be incredibly significant for the events that are yet to come. The retreat into the capital through the west terrace tunnel would create the conditions for the next standoff between demonstrators and police that would take place over the following hours. Instead of showing force outside of the tunnel, the police make the questionable decision of barricading themselves behind locked double doors, giving up the tactical position, and retreating to a defensive posture.
While the police make their stand inside the West Terrace Tunnel, at 2:38 PM, Donald Trump sends out a tweet addressing the actions at the Capitol. It reads, please support our capitol police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. At 2:39 PM, Metropolitan Police Department reinforcements arrive at the capitol, entering through the east carriage door.
At the same time, police officers discussed being unprepared for what they encountered.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we are coming up for this. I wanna make sure we all had our mask. I realize how bad I they set us up to fail. Hey, Dave. There was no way we were winning that.
And you've now you got at least 4 platoons that are just gassed out. Yeah. Literally. Because us, 54 doesn't have masks. Yeah.
Oh, remember, we're supposed to be rapid response just to buy time for the hard place to use to come. They didn't come. They didn't ask for him. I'm supposed to Who cares about the street? Like, I want to rise.
Get yes. To secure the capital.
Speaker 0: At 2:42 PM, journalist Taylor Hanson is walking behind Ashley Babbitt, an air force veteran from California, as she turns a corner and approaches the speaker's lobby guarded by 3 police officers. MPD officer Luke Foskett approaches a window and looks out upon the crowd on the western side of the capitol building.
Speaker 1: You're alive, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Moments later, members of the house seek shelter in the gallery while officers barricade entry into the chamber. It is at this moment that the only firearm to be discharged inside the capitol that day can be loudly heard. The story of that gunshot is quite possibly the most tragic story of that day.
Speaker 1: Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun. Hey, he's got a gun.
Speaker 0: The shot heard was a single round fired by Lieutenant Michael Byrd. It strikes Ashley Babbitt in the neck, and she falls back into the upper landing of the stairwell.
Speaker 5: One shot in the Capitol. Report of a shooting in the Capitol. Trying to ascertain information now.
Speaker 0: At 2:46 PM, approximately the same time as Ashley Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police officer Bird, a series of smoke and signal flares are activated at various locations around the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Flare. There's some kind of a flare in the sky there.
Speaker 0: As the smoke clears, we again spot Ray Epps leaving the area and flanked by several individuals before leaving the capitol grounds for the day. Meanwhile, demonstrators continue to enter the capitol building. The first demonstrator enters the senate chamber.
Speaker 1: We're here. President 7, we got protesters that are outside of
Speaker 5: the, senate chamber. Over the course of the next
Speaker 0: 30 minutes, the senate chamber will become a significant location of the day along with the capitol rotunda, the capitol corridors Hold
Speaker 1: on. Hold on. Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop.
Don't stop.
Speaker 0: And the West Terrace Tunnel. Prior to this point in the day, many demonstrators were free to roam the hallways and chambers of the building, meeting little resistance from Capitol Police.
Speaker 1: The police here are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our first amendment allows. Gather for Americans under the condition that they will come and gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country.
Speaker 0: Capitol police officer Robichaux asks a small group of demonstrators to remain peaceful.
Speaker 1: Show us. No attacking, no assault, remain calm. We're not going to resolve, nothing are going to be heard. Everybody, this must be peaceful. This has to be peaceful.
We have the right to peacefully assemble.
Speaker 0: Robichaud then proceeds to escort at least one demonstrator, Jacob Chanceley, throughout various locations in the capital. At 2:46 PM, additional demonstrators continue to enter the senate chamber. Security footage shows no Capitol Police presence in the senate chamber at this time. At this point in the day, many of the demonstrators on the outside have no idea the Capitol has even been breached. Let's go back to the multi view to see what's going on around the Capitol grounds.
On the southeast side, a group of MPD officers arrived to assist capitol police with clearing out the inside of the capitol.
Speaker 5: 1.2 ground. We're sending MPD through the south door of the capitol. There's about 25 units in hard gear.
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza, an enormous American flag has been draped over the scaffolding. On the east side of the capitol, demonstrators have overtaken the stairs and continue to gather on the lawn. Back in the rotunda at 2:48 PM, we see demonstrators peacefully roaming around and taking photographs. The only law enforcement officers visible are standing in the doorway. As demonstrators continue to roam the hallways, one officer has a concerning realization.
Speaker 1: They make it up here. They can go right to the center floor. They just don't realize it.
Speaker 0: Back at the West Terrace tunnel, a demonstrator activates a fire extinguisher into the tunnel
Speaker 1: We need redicious security steps. Wanna push forward? You wanna push forward? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Go. Right now. No.
Speaker 1: No. Wait. Because we gotta get numbers. Yep. I'm seeing stars right now.
Speaker 0: Inside the senate chamber, demonstrators are rummaging through desks looking for intel.
Speaker 1: Objection to the Arizona. Objection. Who's gonna sell us out all along? Really? Look.
Objection to counter the electoral votes of the state of Arizona. Wait. No. That's No. No.
That's Okay. Alright. Alright. We're driving. I'm just We're doing this.
We're doing this.
Speaker 0: The standoff back at the West Terrace Tunnel continues with
Speaker 1: Get it put it over there. We're gonna group it this way, then you lock your door and close this off. Get your arms through these shields. You know how to put your arms get because we have a high platoon guy here. You.
Show them how to lock the shields together and hold the shields.
Speaker 0: At 2:55 PM, law enforcement begins to move demonstrators out of the capitol from various locations.
Speaker 1: We are American. I pray for every one of you. For your service. Thanks. You
Speaker 2: need to give up communism is what you need to do, sir. You need to give up communism to protect these people. We're patriots.
Speaker 1: How much it cost for you to betray your duty and your people, sir?
Speaker 0: But they continue to struggle to control the rotunda and West Plaza tunnel.
Speaker 1: We're I I don't stray anymore. Let's go. Who's getting out for? We're in patients. We're in there.
Go in there. She's open.
Speaker 0: Richard Barnett, the demonstrator who posed for this photo speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, attempts to persuade an officer
Speaker 1: to let him back in to retrieve his flag.
Speaker 0: 4 18, Frank, sir, informational. I have
Speaker 1: a group of
Speaker 5: about 20 to 30 officers that are cordoned off on the south side of the front of the stairs. We're just gonna hold the line over here so we get some kind of control on this crowd. There's no enforcement we can take at this time.
Speaker 1: Hey. Good day, man. Glad to see you guys. You guys are fucking patriots. Look at this guy.
He's got me covered good. Thank you. Alright. Jacob Chansley takes a seat at the senate dais.
Speaker 0: He decides to leave a note for vice president Pence.
Speaker 1: And now now that you've done that, can I get you guys to walk out of this room, please? Yeah. There's
Speaker 2: 4,000,000 people coming
Speaker 1: in, so Thank you, heavenly father, for raising us with this opportunity. Thank God. Thanks, heavenly father. Amen. Sir, I
Speaker 5: have 75 people inside the senate chambers just for information. They are going through desks
Speaker 4: 105. I'm currently a domain George of the senate chambers.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Thank you.
Thank you, officers. God bless you, pastor. Thank you for your patience. We really appreciate your support. That
Speaker 0: Freedom. Back at the scuffle at the West Terrace tunnel, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Leading up the tunnel are a series of steps that demonstrators are having trouble navigating. It is a very tense and dangerous situation in this area. For over an hour, the police have been inside the building behind the inner doors while demonstrators have occupied the tunnel.
At 3:13 PM,
Speaker 1: president Trump sends out another tweet.
Speaker 0: He writes, I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order. Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you.
Speaker 1: 405 John is advising they need additional assets.
Speaker 0: At 3:19 PM, the police successfully expel the demonstrators from the tunnel. During the skirmish, a US Capitol police officer is dragged into the crowd of demonstrators. He is later returned to the police line and heads back to safety inside the tunnel. The demonstrators manage to hold their ground and begin to push the police back into the tunnel. This sets the stage for the final tragic conflict.
Demonstrators and police are engaged in physical altercations. Sprayed chemical agents are lingering in the narrow hallway.
Speaker 2: I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us.
Speaker 0: At 4:17 PM, president Trump posts a 1 minute video to his Twitter account, urging demonstrators to stay peaceful and go home.
Speaker 2: We have to have peace. We have to have law and order
Speaker 0: Twitter quickly attached a warning label on the video which read, this claim of election fraud is disputed, and this tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence. This limited the reach of the message. Minutes later, Twitter would remove the entire video message from its platform.
Speaker 2: I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 0: As the demonstrators are pushed back by police, they fall on top of each other. Some are pressed against the ground, unable to move. A woman named Roseanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, finds herself pinned under the deluge of bodies. The situation is critical.
Speaker 1: Need a lock. No. What's that? Collapse inside that that corridor from an asphyxiation. She couldn't breathe.
Brought her out onto the main steps outside of that. Several people started doing CPR on her. I tried to get her carotid pulse for several minutes and even I cut part of her jeans away so that I could try to fill her femoral pulse, and I couldn't fill a femoral force at all. By the time that they decided to take the person up and give them to the police officer, she had blue lips and blood was coming out of her nose.
Speaker 4: Ma'am, where does DC fire need to go for that CPR that's gone off?
Speaker 1: Didn't seem hopeful at all. I don't I don't think that person will be revived.
Speaker 0: Officers transport Boylan inside the tunnel and begin CPR.
Speaker 8: Could you please send the ambulance that
Speaker 11: is coming for the code down at Lower West Terrace to the house door for entry?
Speaker 1: There's a couple. I don't know. We're guessing. Yeah. She got I think she got stuck under there.
She fell down and That's rambled? Yeah.
Speaker 0: Boylan is transported inside for one last revival attempt.
Speaker 1: Is that why Lawrence was having a protest? Is that why Lawrence was having a protest? Protest. CDU 70. They're destroying the media equipment over here to send an egg.
Ag. Got me. Protesters are destroying media equipment at the Senate Ag.
Speaker 0: At 5 PM, as the citywide 6 PM curfew looms, police are making progress securing the capitol and a steady stream of demonstrators leave the capitol grounds. At 5:10 PM, police use tear gas to drive the remaining demonstrators from the capitol's upper levels. Over the PA system, an announcement is made that all individuals are required to leave Capitol Hill or be subject to arrest. At 5:40 PM, national guard troops begin to arrive at the capitol to secure the premises. One minute after the curfew goes into effect, Donald Trump sends out a final message to his supporters that day.
At 8 PM, the capitol is declared secure.
Speaker 6: Today was a dark day in the history of the United States capital.
Speaker 0: Shortly after at 8:0:6 PM, the senate resumes debate over the certification of Arizona's vote in the senate chamber. The house would reconvene about an hour later. The election results will be certified. And 14 days later, Joe Biden will walk down the same tunnel and stairs where the police and demonstrators fought for hours and where Roseanne Boylan took her last breath to be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. January 6, 2021, a day of hope and patriotism that turned into a day of chaos and tragedy.
For the past 3 years, the shadow of January 6th looms large in our politics, in our culture, and in our national conversation. Are we any closer to understanding the events of that day? Are we still in the timeline of January 6th?

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: 15 minutes into his remarks, president Trump mentions for the first time that after his speech, the crowd will be walking to the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you. We're gonna walk down we're gonna walk down to the capital. We have come to demand that congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Speaker 0: At 12:30 PM, the US Capitol Police report, a very large group heading to the capitol from eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 2: Those are
Speaker 3: 50. Those look like we're gonna have an ad hoc march stepping off here. There's a crowd surge heading east.
Speaker 0: President Trump won't be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another 40 minutes. At 12:36, vice president Mike Pence arrives at the US Capitol. Vice president's motorcade has just arrived at the Capitol in advance of the joint session. The certification is to begin in 24 minutes at 1 PM EST. As Mike Pence arrives, a crowd is already assembled at the barricades in front of the east plaza of the capitol.
Speaker 1: Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.
Speaker 0: At 12:45 PM, a DC police camera captures what looks like a wall of people suddenly arriving about a block west of the Capitol. Video footage captured moments later shows demonstrators gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue terminates as a street and turns into Pennsylvania Walkway, a path that leads directly to the west side of the capitol. Back outside where the crowd has gathered at Peace Circle, there are 2 sets of metal barricades here behind which only 5 capitol police officers can be seen guarding this entrance while every member of congress convenes in the building behind them. Just south of this path, a man in a black ski mask removes a barrier and waves the crowd onto the west lawn of the capitol while members in the crowd shout at him. With this view, you can see the moment that the first set of bike racks come down and the crowd begins to quickly advance on the second set of gates.
This would become the first major breach of the capitol grounds and skirmish with capitol police. Moments later, the barricade is pushed directly into the police line. Looking over the west side of the capitol from a security camera on the exterior dome, we can see how quickly the crowd is able to fill the area in front of the west plaza. From this point forward, those in the crowd entering onto Capitol grounds may have seen no indications or warnings that they were in an area that was previously guarded by police and secured by barriers. Inside the Capitol, vice president Mike Pence is entering the house chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes.
President Donald Trump is still speaking to a large crowd at the Ellipse, unaware of the crowd that is already amassed at the Capitol. Back outside on the west plaza, United States Capitol Police Deputy Chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to get into position.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I need less lethal teams that could come up from the upper west stairs and take an elevated position. They're not compliant, climbing, sapling. Let me know when the less lethal teams are in place.
Speaker 0: 1 minute later, the less lethal team moves into place. At 1:0:6 PM, deputy chief Waldo orders the less lethal team to launch.
Speaker 3: Unit 6, I got a crowd fighting with officer pushing, going for textiles. I have given warnings about chemical munitions. I need to let the lethal team position above me to identify the agitator to start deploying. Bunch. Bunch.
Bunch.
Speaker 0: US Capitol Police inspector Lloyd is seen signaling officers above on the terrace to open fire on the crowd. Joshua Matthew Black, a 46 year old man from Alabama, is shot with a round that tears open and lodges in his cheek. Safety procedures for using these rounds state not to fire at someone at eye level. Deputy chief Waldo orders a second deployment of munitions.
Speaker 3: I need more of the assessor legal teams over here. The indirect firing is not working. They are still, non compliant. We've continued to give, I've continued to give multiple warnings about, typical munitions being released. They are not dispersing.
Speaker 0: Although Chief Waldo has broadcast over the radio twice that he has given warnings, no video that day captures these warnings. DC law on crowd dispersal procedures states that before any munitions are used against a crowd, officers must issue at least 3 clearly audible and understandable orders to disperse using an amplification system as well as to provide participants reasonable and adequate time to disperse and a clear safe route for dispersal. President Trump is finishing his speech at the Ellipse at 1:12 PM. In a rarely seen split screen view, let's simultaneously see different events happening around the
Speaker 1: capitol in real time. So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I wanna thank you all. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all for being here.
This is incredible. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Dallas from Arizona.
Speaker 1: Is the objection in writing and signed by a senator?
Speaker 0: It is. As representative Paul Gosar and senator Ted Cruz make a challenge on the floor of the house, MPD officer Daniel Thau arrives at the southwest section of the plaza. His body cam shows him and nearby officers spraying demonstrators with an inflammatory agent. From a different officer's body cam, the familiar face of Ray Epps can be seen in the area that the police are trying to control. Back where we can see simultaneous angles, we can see Trump waving to the crowd after his 1 hour and 11 minute speech, the last speech he will give in front of a crowd as president of the United States.
Ray Epps is at the front of the police line speaking to officers.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
Speaker 0: At 1:13 PM, officer Thao is frantically calling for more munitions.
Speaker 2: Hey, captain. Hey. We need blaster this. What do we got? I can't get We gotta get something, man.
Come on. We got it back.
Speaker 0: At 1:15 PM, officer Thao crosses the line and engages with demonstrators. As the scuffle ensues, he discharges 2 rounds from his taser, also known as an ECD. After expending all his munitions, officer Thao yells at the officers on the west terrace of the capital above them to start shooting what they have into the crowd. The less lethal team fires into the crowd for a third time. 1:17 PM.
A second wave of DC Metropolitan Police officers show up on the east side of the capitol. They are the first to bring in explosive ammunition rounds that they will soon distribute to officers on west plaza. Officer Tara Tindall is crouched on the ground readying CS gas rounds. Commander officer Robert Glover gives the first audible authorization to deploy explosives into the crowd.
Speaker 2: Standby. Standby. Standby. Deploy.
Speaker 0: Around 1:30 PM on the southwest side of the plaza, officers push the crowd back and are able to establish a police line again. The police will hold this line for about an hour.
Speaker 2: Stay modified. Stay modified.
Speaker 3: Stay on the floor. 33 k at Bri Street.
Speaker 0: At 1:32 PM, an officer laments that chucking grenades into the crowd is just gonna make things worse.
Speaker 2: This is gonna make it worse. And it's not. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Speaker 0: Moments later, the same officer seems to have changed his mind and is actively searching for munitions to discharge in the crowd.
Speaker 2: I'm coming out with smoke. I got the burner no matter what I want.
Speaker 0: A burner or hot burning smoke grenade can get extremely hot and become a fire risk.
Speaker 2: I need triple chasers.
Speaker 0: After not receiving approval to use the triple chaser, officer Thao appears to be reprimanded by another officer for his use of smoke moments earlier. Another captain tells officer Thao to hold on discharging CS gas into the crowd.
Speaker 2: Hey. Frank, you got anything else?
Speaker 0: Back on the west plaza of the capital, officer Thao receives a Stinger 40 millimeter, 60 caliber rubber balls round and rushes to fire it into the crowd.
Speaker 2: Alright. I need a round. Good CF.
Speaker 0: 30 seconds later, he's given a baton round. He again heads over to the police line to fire it into the crowd. At 2:18 PM, police body cam picks up a tense conversation among officers where one officer admits that they're hitting innocent people.
Speaker 2: And and not only that, we're taking out 1 and 10 of them are getting rain here. It's it's we're multiplying them by hitting them.
Speaker 0: At 2:24 PM, president Trump tweets, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution.
Speaker 4: Our investigation found that immediately after the president's 2:24 PM tweet, the crowds both outside the capital and inside the capital surged.
Speaker 0: What the January 6th committee failed to mention was that it was officers misusing munitions and CS gas at that same time that led to a surge.
Speaker 2: Hey, Rich. Yeah.
Speaker 0: At the urging of officer Thao, a DC MPD officer attempts to fire a CS gas canister into the crowd. A short time later, after being gassed out, the police are forced to fall back and they soon lose their position. As officers on the west plaza, unequipped with gas masks, struggle breathing, the plume of CS gas can be seen from the overhead camera on the lower right corner of your screen. It blows over the entire area of the west plaza that the police had secured for nearly an hour. Within 3 minutes of the officer CS gas misfire, the police line on the west plaza entirely collapses.
Speaker 2: We got tear gas when we were in the middle of a prayer. We were kneeling down a break. If they'd never thrown the concussion grenades, if they'd never used a pepper spray, this wouldn't happen. It was a peaceful protest. I was standing within 15 feet of the line of officers.
They started firing at us before anybody did anything to them. We were not rushing them. There was no advance on them. They just started throwing concussion grenades and pepper spray.
Speaker 0: I set up up. That's what
Speaker 2: they did. They set up they set up 64. Absolutely. And then they asked that to come in 2 hours later. They set us up.
They need everybody right away. No. By the way, they set up a. I'm a bitch. Realize how it could be.
We are going to get over the road on the steps of capital right now. We're taking. Okay? If you guys go down there, the tank appliances working very minimally. There's 10,000 to 1.
You're gonna lose the steps, and we're getting people hurt like a
Speaker 0: Demonstrators are seen entering from the west side of the capital while police officers watch them walk through the doors.
Speaker 2: At least 3 mortally wounded, if not 3 dead today. 2 older men by the ambulance and this girl shoving in. No. Excuse me. Hello?
