I'm at the building where the supposed sniper took a shot. It's not steep, a 7-year-old could climb up easily. Secret Service should have been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. The president was speaking from the stage behind me. There are questions in Butler, but we will investigate to ensure it never happens again.

After leaving a location, I had three calls with Speaker Pelosi about getting people back into chambers. Speaker Pelosi's claim of not speaking with me is inaccurate. I cannot comment on whether Capitol security was politicized. I wish Speaker Pelosi had considered the challenges I faced before calling for my resignation. Former Sergeant at Arms believed we were prepared for a typical demonstration, not for the events that unfolded. We did not anticipate a member of Congress inciting the crowd.

We were irresponsible for not being accountable for the situation at the Capitol. It was ridiculous to not have the National Guard there from the start. They thought they were sufficient, but they clearly didn't know. I take responsibility for not preparing them better.

We failed to take responsibility and be accountable for the situation at hand. It was absurd to question whether to call the Capitol Police or have the National Guard present when the breach had already occurred. They believed they were prepared, but they were not. I acknowledge my fault in not ensuring better preparation. Translation (if needed): We did not take responsibility or accountability for the situation, which was ridiculous. There was confusion about calling the Capitol Police or having the National Guard present after the breach. They thought they were prepared, but they were not. I admit my mistake in not ensuring better preparation.

We should have had accountability for what happened at the Capitol. It's ridiculous that we didn't call the National Guard sooner. They thought they had enough security, but clearly they didn't. I take responsibility for not being more prepared.

"We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have." The House GOP obtaining the video of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaking with her chief of staff as she evacuated the capital that day. Pelosi heard blaming herself for not having the National Guard on hand to stop the mob. "Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? I take responsibility for not having them, just prepare for more." The video shot by Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, for an HBO documentary. Pelosi telling MSNBC the video is Republicans' attempt to rewrite history. The former president and his toadies do not want to face the facts. They're trying to do revisionist history on January 6.

Some individuals had planned to storm the Capitol as part of their agenda. Although I hesitate to mention it, as it could lead to my arrest, we must take action. We need to enter the Capitol. Let's proceed.

The discussion centers on why the National Guard was not deployed to the Capitol on the morning of January 6. The explanation given involves a two-step process for authorization: first, authorization by the commander in chief, which had been obtained, and second, a request by the local governing body, specifically the mayor and the Capitol Police Bureau. Mister Patel confirms that there was a letter from Mayor Muriel Bowser dated January 5 to the Department of Defense stating that she would not be requesting any additional National Guard troops. Consequently, they were on standby but not activated due to the mayor’s declination of the request. Speaker 0 presses the point, implying that there was an offering or possibility to deploy the National Guard that was not executed, and suggests contacting the Mayor of Washington, DC to understand other outreach to police departments. The conversation repeats that the National Guard was not initially deployed and questions why they were blocked or not prepared from the outset. Mister Patel reiterates the key facts: the authority came through the commander in chief, the local governing body had declined to request additional National Guard, and thus there was no immediate deployment. Speaker 0 takes responsibility for not having the National Guard ready, suggesting a need to prepare more in the future. The exchange emphasizes the procedural sequence—authorization, local request, and the mayor’s declination—along with implications about preparedness and the perceived blocking or absence of National Guard deployment at the outset.

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.

Speaker says there was no accountability for what was happening, and that there should have been. The House GOP obtained the video of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaking with her chief of staff as she evacuated the Capitol that day.

Yesterday, during a 3-hour show, we spoke with people in Washington DC who were heading to the Capitol to make their presence known. However, their efforts were disrupted by Antifa and Black Lives Matter members who went ahead of them and caused damage. These individuals are responsible for the violence. We have important decisions to make moving forward.

We failed to act responsibly on January 6th. The lack of National Guard presence was a mistake. The former president and his supporters are trying to rewrite history, but we must not let them distort the truth of that day.

In the brief exchange, Speaker 0 challenges Speaker 1 on two linked political questions regarding January 6. Speaker 0 asks whether Speaker 1 is concerned about a new January 6 committee finding that could render him liable for events that day and questions why the National Guard was not requested or deployed on January 6. The underlying aim is to scrutinize accountability and preparedness for the events of that day. Speaker 1 responds directly, insisting that he did not refuse the National Guard and attributing responsibility to the absence of a request from the president. He adds a sharp retort to Speaker 0, suggesting that Speaker 0 is presenting Republican talking points and labeling him as “a serious journalist,” implying a critique of the line of questioning and framing. Speaker 0 closes the exchange by reaffirming the public’s interest, stating that “The American people wanna know.” He reiterates that there are ongoing questions that remain unanswered, signaling a continued demand for accountability or clarification from Speaker 1. Overall, the exchange centers on responsibility and timing surrounding the National Guard on January 6, with Speaker 1 asserting that neither he nor the president took the actions that would have prevented or altered what occurred, while Speaker 0 emphasizes the public’s continuing desire for answers in light of January 6 committee findings. The interaction highlights tension between seeking accountability for the events of that day and defending the actions or inactions of political figures involved.

We failed to take responsibility and be accountable for the situation at the Capitol. It's absurd that we didn't have the National Guard there from the start. We should have been better prepared.

I wasn't surprised by Trump's circle calling for violence after the 2020 election. It wasn't just talk - they intended to act. If this happened in an African country, it would be called a coup or an attack on democracy. It was shocking to witness in the most powerful democracy. The gravity of the situation didn't fully hit me until afterwards. Translation: I wasn't surprised by the calls for violence in Trump's circle after the 2020 election.

We were irresponsible and lacked accountability for the situation at the Capitol. It was ridiculous to not call the Capitol Police or National Guard sooner.

Some individuals had planned to storm the Capitol, and tomorrow they intended to carry out their plan. Although I hesitate to mention it, as it could lead to my arrest, I will say it anyway. We must enter the Capitol. Let's go.

I requested the National Guard urgently to come to Capitol Hill. I spoke with Pentagon officials to get approval. During the call, I emphasized the urgency of the situation, but was told they didn't like the optics of having the National Guard present.

They monitored the area before my speech, but nobody warned me about a man on the roof with a gun. People noticed him and even shouted, yet no action was taken. It was a mistake not to address the situation earlier.

We had a responsibility that we failed to meet, and there was a lack of accountability for the situation. It’s absurd to question whether we should call the Capitol Police or National Guard after the breach occurred. The National Guard should have been present from the start, as the assessment of the situation was clearly inadequate. I take responsibility for not ensuring they were prepared for potential issues.

The speaker questions why the FBI didn't inform cabinet secretaries about potential threats on January 6th. They criticize the lack of security measures at the Capitol and mention offering National Guard support, which was declined. They believe better information sharing could have prevented the events. The speaker emphasizes that protecting the Capitol is a law enforcement responsibility, not a military one, and suggests cooperation between agencies. They imply political reasons for the lack of action.

We were supposed to have a briefing with Secret Service snipers, but it never happened. This made me realize something was wrong. We had no communication with them until after the shooting, which was too late. Translation: We were supposed to have a meeting with Secret Service snipers, but it never occurred.
