The video transcript summarizes the chaotic events at the Capitol building during the riot. Protesters breach the premises, gaining access to the Senate and House chambers. Law enforcement officers call for backup and assistance to secure the building and evacuate members of Congress. The situation escalates with projectiles being thrown, breaches of barricades and scaffolding, and reports of injuries. Officers retreat to the lower terrace and lock down the building, while attempting to clear areas and establish a tactical plan. Protesters are sprayed with OC and pepper spray, some are taken into custody, and medical attention is requested. The situation remains tense as law enforcement works to secure the building and ensure the safety of everyone inside.

Hi, Patrice. It's Dr. Tammy and Nurse Melissa. We just stormed the Capitol, and it was intense. We witnessed people breaking windows and tried to push in, but then we were hit with pepper spray and what seemed like tear gas. It was quite an experience. Afterward, we felt congested and our eyes were burning, but we felt it was important to take part in this. Compared to what our founding fathers faced, it felt like the least we could do. God bless America. Joe Biden did not win.

I was asked about my attire on January 6th. I had to wear disguises to protect myself after being assaulted in November. I witnessed violence against press members and felt compelled to document it. I showed my press card to avoid any trouble. I was not a Trump supporter, but I stood up for the press. I was not present at the Capitol on January 6th, but I saw a fellow journalist being attacked. I was alone and felt intimidated, but I stood my ground. It was a challenging situation, but I remained committed to my work.

A woman in a pink MAGA shirt shouted that a person had voted for Joe Biden, using a racial slur. The small crowd of about 20 people joined in, yelling derogatory remarks. This was the first time I had ever been called such a derogatory term while wearing my Capitol police officer uniform.

The speaker, who is the chief of police, expresses frustration over the law that prevents them from bringing in the national guard without approval. They recount the events of the attack on the Capitol and their efforts to request assistance. They made multiple calls to different agencies, including the sergeant in arms and the chairman of the Capitol Police Board, but authorization was delayed for 71 minutes. Finally, at 2:09, they received approval and immediately informed their colleague. The speaker emphasizes their anger and marks the time as 2:10 when they finally got approval for the National Guard.

I witnessed a shooting at a rally where a man was killed and a woman injured. The shots seemed to come from behind the bleachers, hitting the man in the head and grazing the former president's ear. The chaotic scene unfolded quickly, with the police and SWAT team evacuating the area. As a doctor, I offered assistance but was not needed. The victims' family members were distraught. The incident highlights the polarized political climate in the country. I had a sense of foreboding before the shooting occurred.

We thank you for your service in protecting our country. However, there are questions about what exactly was being protected. Security footage shows that individuals were allowed to enter without resistance, without weapons, almost like a guided tour. It's important to note that the only casualty was Ashley Babbit, who was shot by Capitol Police. So, it raises the question of what exactly was saved that day. The speaker mentions having written a book before going to break.

It's crucial for everyone to forget what was said that day. A call was made to march to the Capitol to peacefully express voices, but it escalated into a violent siege. Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that a Capitol police officer was killed by the mob, which also defaced symbols of freedom. The rioters were actively searching for the vice president and the speaker of the house.

The speaker urgently called General Walker to request the National Guard's assistance at the Capitol. Despite the imminent danger, the speaker faced resistance from higher-ups who didn't like the optics of the National Guard's presence. The speaker pleaded for help, but was denied multiple times. Eventually, shots were fired, and the speaker had to hang up to handle the situation. The National Guard didn't arrive until 6 PM, and instead of being deployed at the Capitol, they were driven back to the DC Army. The speaker felt betrayed and questioned if there was a conspiracy against protecting the Capitol. The systematic denial of intelligence and support from various agencies led to the baffling conclusion of not protecting the capital.

I was at the Capitol that morning and then went into a meeting. I was advised to leave and taken to a secure location with my husband. We watched the events unfold in horror.

I was waiting for Trump when I saw a person on a building and told officers. Shots rang out, and I helped someone with a child escape before leaving.

I've been through a roller coaster of emotions since January 6th. Some days are better than others. It's tough to see people downplay what happened that day. I experienced brutal combat and felt like I was going to die. It was overwhelming. 850 MPD officers and others risked their lives to protect the Capitol. The bravery displayed that day was nothing short of miraculous.

I was at the rally, seated on the far left of the podium where President Trump was speaking. I heard several gunshots and immediately recognized them as gunfire. A man beside me was shot in the head and died instantly, while a woman nearby was injured in the forearm. It was chaotic; many thought it was fireworks. I helped carry the deceased man to a tent behind the bleachers. He had family members present, and they were in shock. I also saw President Trump get grazed by a bullet in the ear just before the Secret Service took him down. The shots seemed to come from behind us, and it felt like the man was caught in the crossfire. This was my first rally, and I never expected something like this to happen.

I want to remind Americans of the violence unleashed by Donald Trump on January 6, 2021. As a former DC police officer, I responded to distress calls from fellow officers as a mob of Trump supporters violently assaulted law enforcement. I was brutally attacked, pulled from the police line, beaten, and had my badge and radio stripped away. I was also tased by a Trump supporter. These individuals, who admitted their support for Trump, represent the hundreds of officers assaulted that day. The lies about the 2020 election continue to inspire division and violence against fellow Americans and law enforcement. This election is about Trump’s vision for the presidency, serving only himself rather than the people. Thank you.

Brian and I were at the Capitol on January 6th. After the crowd gathered, Brian stayed with other veterans near the podium. He witnessed police using tear gas and rubber bullets, which shocked him. A man on the scaffolding urged people to push forward and enter the building. Brian remained on the ground, recording the events, while others attempted to break in. He saw some individuals vandalizing property, including a woman trying to break a window, which he condemned. Despite the chaos, he focused on documenting the moment, reflecting on the significance of being there. Both of us faced criticism upon returning home, but we felt it was an important experience. Now, as we prepare for President Trump's inauguration, we reminisce about that day.

The speaker learned about the Capitol riot on January 6th and was disgusted and afraid. They were afraid of what the rioters might do and that they would not face consequences. The speaker is proud to have joined the effort to hold them accountable. The Justice Department charged over 1,500 people with crimes and obtained convictions against almost 1,300. The speaker states that they ensured the rioters would face accountability and created a public record of the crimes committed that day.

I was at work until 4:30, then went to the FBI building but got no answers. Trooper Glasgow from State Police came to talk to me at 10 pm. I was watching from outside the Capitol fence during the riot. I left when a plainclothes officer came out. I was avoiding the long lines.

On January 6th, I was in the House chamber when Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed by Lieutenant Byrd. She was seen as a threat, but it's unclear what her intentions were. Byrd yelled for her to stop, but she didn't listen. If this had happened during the 2020 riots, Byrd would have been indicted quickly. The events of January 6th were driven by lies.

I captured footage of Capitol Police removing barricades, inviting people onto the Capitol grounds, and even into the Capitol itself. I also recorded instances of Capitol Police attacking protesters without any provocation. Additionally, I have footage of Capitol Police instructing people to enter the Capitol to avoid being harmed during the incident. Despite not committing any crimes myself, I have evidence of crimes committed by our government.

On this day, my role was as a capital police officer. I'm Harry Dunn. I swore an oath to protect our constitution, to protect our democracy. It's what allowed me to protect some members Congress who I knew were bigots. I put country above self. The problem is a lot of them didn't. Some who stood behind us when we protected them went back on the floor of congress and stood behind Trump. They voted to acquit him. And worst of all, they denied the violence and trauma that led to the death of some of my fellow officers. I couldn't stand by and watch. I left the force after more than fifteen years of service. So that today, I can announce I'm running for congress. We can't ever let this happen again. We've got a democracy to protect.

Sergeant Aquilino Ganell, a United States Capitol Police officer, recounts his experience during the January 6th insurrection. He describes being called a traitor, which deeply affected him as someone who serves his country. Ganell fought against the rioters, enduring injuries and fearing for his life. He witnessed the brutality inflicted on his fellow officers and was determined to protect the Capitol. The video highlights the emotional toll on Ganell and Officer Byron Evans, who evacuated senators and watched the riot unfold on TV. Despite the trauma, they returned to work shortly after. Ganell expresses his disappointment in the lack of support from the country he loves and sacrificed for.

We were federal prosecutors on the Justice Department's Capitol attack investigation until the Trump administration fired us on January 31st. Why were we fired? Because we did our job. We followed the facts and the law. What we did was justice for 140 police officers wounded on January 6th, 2021. We were hired to prosecute cases from the riot, and none of our defendants were acquitted, which shows the evidence was overwhelming. But last month, the president pardoned even the most violent convicts, calling them "hostages." Letters of termination hit the Justice Department, calling the prosecution itself a grave national injustice. Anyone who has watched videos of January 6th knows that prosecuting the rioters was not the injustice. The injustice has been the Department of Justice turning its back on law enforcement officers, members of Congress, and all the victims affected.

Speaker 1 says he was on Constitutional Avenue. 'We went down first. There was four police officers, and some people entered. The gate was taken down, and the second gate was entered. And then went to the third gate.' He mentions 'There were anteaters with us' and notes they were aggressive with the police, 'throwing things, breaking things... hitting our own people.' He asserts they are not violent and do not hate the police department, and that the officers were on their side. From the top of the Capitol steps, he recalls 'thousands of papers behind it' and says it was 'an amazing sight' that made him emotional. He frames the action as symbolic after trying everything the right way, aiming to be visible and to make a point because 'the vote was stolen' and 'If our vote's stolen, what do we have left? A dictator.' He aided an injured man, 'Upper left. Cesar' who wasn't breathing. He suspects Antifa: 'I'm positive because that's how Antifa does things.'

I was working as a Capitol Police officer when a woman in a pink MAGA shirt singled me out, yelling that I voted for Joe Biden and used a racial slur. The surrounding crowd of about 20 people joined in, yelling slurs at me. It was the first time I had ever been called that word while wearing my Capitol Police uniform.

Hi, Patrice. It's Doctor Tammy and nurse Melissa. We just stormed the Capitol, and it was wild. When we got in, they started breaking windows before letting us in. We were hit with what felt like pepper spray and possibly tear gas, which was quite an experience. Afterward, we were congested and our eyes were burning, but we felt it was important to be there, especially compared to what our founding fathers faced. God bless America. Joe Biden did not win. He's definitely going to Germany. God bless America.
