The speaker claims that on January 6th, there was violence against the constitution, Congress, and the U.S. Capitol. They allege that they begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard, but he refused. The speaker further claims that the president would not send in the National Guard when law enforcement people were being harmed, some of whom later died. They assert this inaction occurred during an insurrection that the president incited, which caused damage to those assigned to protect the capital and the constitution and to accept the results of the electoral college.

I am here to correct errors in the record of the January 6th events, focusing on the delayed National Guard response. The Inspector General's report contains inaccuracies, including false denials of key officials' involvement in decision-making. Despite requests to deploy, the Guard was held back, arriving too late to prevent violence. The delayed response was due to paralyzed decision-making by Pentagon leaders, causing a 3-hour delay. I hope to clarify the facts and answer any questions.

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. Translation: 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.

We should have had accountability for what happened at the Capitol. It's ridiculous that we didn't call the Capitol Police or National Guard sooner. They thought they were prepared, but clearly they weren't. I take responsibility for not being more prepared. Translation: The speaker acknowledges the lack of accountability for the events at the Capitol and regrets not taking action sooner. They admit to not being adequately prepared and accept responsibility for the situation.

Capitol Police Chief describes an "intelligence failure" before Jan 6: "absolutely zero with the intelligence that we know now existed talking about attacking the capital, killing my police officers, attacking members of Congress and killing members of Congress." He says "FBI DHS was swimming in that intelligence" and "the military seemed to have some very concerning intelligence as well." There was "no jib, a joint intelligence bulletin zero for January 6" and "no coordination, no discussion in advance." He notes FBI Washington field office and DHS "didn't put out a single official document specific to January 6" and cites a Senate/GAO finding of emails to Steve D’Antuano about threats he did not hear on a conference call: "Nobody from DHS was on" January 5 call. On Jan 4, Miller "puts out a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying the various weapons"—and Pelosi/McConnell allegedly blocked his request: "optics." After 12:53 attack, he makes "32 calls" over "seventy-one minutes" until "02:09" when "approval" comes. "The chain is Pelosi" and "The law says in a mercy, he can grant me authorization, but he didn't."

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.

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. 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 was shot by Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, for an HBO documentary.

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.

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.

I'm on the building where the sniper supposedly shot from. It's not steep. Secret Service should've been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. There were questions in Butler about why they didn't act. We'll investigate to ensure it doesn't happen again.

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.

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.

The speaker explains that the handling of the event was different from previous situations. They mention that the decision was made by the intelligence agency and the military. According to a federal law, the speaker was required to request federal resources like the National Guard in advance from the Capitol Police Board. However, they were denied twice due to optics and lack of intelligence support. The decision was made by Paul Irving and Mike Stenger, who work for Pelosi and McConnell respectively.

Steve D'Antwono, the FBI director, received multiple emails warning about the violence expected at the Capitol before January 6th, but nothing was mentioned during a video call with him. The military had discussed locking down Washington DC and revoking permits on Capitol Hill due to concerns about violence. However, on January 4th, the acting secretary of defense issued a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying weapons or equipment for crowd control. This decision hindered the National Guard's response when assistance was desperately needed on January 6th. Governor Hogan even pleaded for help but was denied due to the memo. The situation doesn't make sense.

Speaker 0: Some Republicans argue that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6 and the select committee covered it up. Based on what you know, what are the verifiable events in the lead ups? Speaker 1: I was DoD chief of staff on January 6. We deployed National Guard; in the Oval Office the president, president Trump at the time, authorized pursuant to law up to 10 to 20,000 National Guard. We took that authorization because the law's second part required a request from who? Nancy Pelosi and the Metropolitan Police and the mayor at the time. And what did they say? No. And remember what happened for the next two years? They say, Oh, Kash is lying. Trump’s lying. And what do we find? Letters of their declination of the National Guard refusing to have the National Guard show up. Nancy Pelosi and her team were busy filming a movie on January 6 while this so caused chaos around her was going down. If she had just look at it this way. If she had said yes to the National Guard and we had 10,000 uniformed military officers establish a secure perimeter, do you think January 6 would have gone differently? Speaker 0: It is intriguing that 02/1950 FBI plain clothed agents were inside the Capitol on January 6. Speaker 1: This is a great example of the president's initiative to solve all the answers on January 6, and it's another example of our transparency efforts. Pursuant to the president, we investigated the matter and found out why FBI agents were placed there in the first place. And it turns out, we found documentation and witnesses and whistleblowers that said we were forced to go there to do riot control. Armstrong, do you know what the FBI does not do ever? Riot control. Speaker 0: And you believe them? That's their word, not mine.

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. They thought they were prepared, but clearly they were not. I take responsibility for not ensuring better preparation. Translation: 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. They thought they were prepared, but clearly they were not. I take responsibility for not ensuring better preparation.

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.

The denial of the request for national guardsmen on January 6th was a pivotal moment. The person who made that decision has not answered why. Representative Bennie Thompson stated that Speaker Pelosi was off limits to the inquiries of the January 6th committee. However, if we truly want to find out what happened, everyone's records should be examined. The speaker emphasizes that they have been forthright and provided their phone records. They made numerous calls to request approval and called multiple police agencies and officers to help regain control of the Capitol. The speaker's recollection is detailed and precise.

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.
