The January 6th events at the US Capitol are described as disgraceful and a deliberate assault on democracy. Bobby Powell, a retired radio journalist, claims to have video evidence of provocateurs or suspicious actors present at the Capitol. Powell describes witnessing a man removing a window and encouraging others to enter, as well as another man pushing people inside while yelling, "hold the line." He sent the video to the FBI but says the individuals have not been identified. Powell expresses frustration that his evidence and similar findings by attorney Brad Guyer are being ignored by media and politicians. Another speaker claims a group of provocateurs broke away and coordinated the removal of bike racks. They allege that suspicious actors provoked police and removed barriers, creating space for the crowd to enter, suggesting that most people believed they had permission to be there. One speaker claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss an incident where a person named Ray Epps repeatedly urged them and others to go into the capital building. Speaker 1 recalls encountering Epps on January 5th during a protest outside BLM Plaza. Epps followed Speaker 1 and began instructing the crowd, famously saying they should go into the capital the next day. Speaker 0 also expresses readiness to go into the capital. Speaker 1 questions whether Epps was part of a scripted plan or an undercover agent inciting violence. The conversation ends with Speaker 0 emphasizing the need to go to the capital where their problems lie.

In a tense exchange, Speaker 0 insists that “Tomorrow, we need to go into the capital. Into the capital,” then adds “What? No. Peacefully,” followed by repeated “Fed” comments. They acknowledge that saying it aloud risks arrest, saying, “Tomorrow, I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested.” Despite warnings, they push forward with “We need we need to go I’ll say it. Alright. We need to go in.” A participant interrupts, “Shut the fuck up, boomer,” as the plan to go into the capital is reiterated, with “To the capital.” The dialogue includes, “Based fed posting? We need to go into the capital. I didn’t see that coming in. Okay. Alright.” Addressing another person, “No, Dave. But one more thing. Can we go up there? No?” They question, “When we go in Are we gonna get arrested?” and add, “We don’t need to get shot. Arrest us all? Let’s go.”

Two speakers discuss going into the capital tomorrow, insisting on a plan despite hesitation. They oscillate between urgency and caution: "Tomorrow, we need to go into the capital" and "I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested." They try to keep the rhetoric "Peaceful" and "Fed" in the mix, then confirm aloud: "We need we need to go I'll say it. Alright." A sharply cut interjection—"Shut the fuck up, Uber"—is followed by: "To the capital." They label it as "Based Fed posting? Yeah. Need to go into the capital." The exchange ends with a resigned acknowledgment: "I didn't see that coming in. Okay."

The video explores the question of whether undercover agents or assets for the federal government played a role in agitating people to enter the Capitol on January 6th. The focus is on a man named Ray Epps, who was captured on video encouraging protesters to go into the Capitol. The video analyzes Epps' interactions with Baked Alaska, a livestreamer, and highlights Epps' repetitive phrases and unusual behavior. It also reveals a previously unseen conversation where Epps whispers, "storm the Capitol" to Baked Alaska. The video raises questions about Epps' possible involvement and the lack of attention given to his actions.

In this video, there are discussions about the involvement of FBI agents and informants in the events of January 6th. Questions are raised about whether they committed crimes or encouraged violence. The focus then shifts to a man named Ray Epps, who was initially on the FBI's most wanted list but was later removed. The video also shows footage of individuals removing fences and discusses how easy it was for people to be drawn into the breach site. The brother of a man involved in the Capitol insurrection is interviewed, highlighting their political differences. There are also mentions of Antifa and questions about Speaker Pelosi's involvement. The video concludes with criticism of the January 6th committee's refusal to ask important questions.

The conversation centers on a set of claims and observations about January 6 that orbit around Sedition Hunters, Ray Epps, and the so-called “Northwest Scaffold Commander.” The speakers discuss and link multiple pieces of information to argue that the FBI and other agencies were paying close attention to, or coordinating with, covert actor networks on that day. - The discussion opens with a reference to a John Solomon article about Sedition Hunters and claims that the FBI and Justice Department paid Sedition Hunters about $150,000 to gather evidence on January 6 protesters to help the FBI make arrests. They note the figure was reported as over $100,000 in some places and $150,000 in a House hearing, and they say the FBI/DOJ paid Sedition Hunters, the SPLC, the ADL, the Atlantic Council, DFR Lab, and Bellingcat for intelligence. - The main focus shifts to a piece titled Meet Ray Epps (December 2021) by the speakers’ interlocutor, where they argue that the “main star of the show” was not Ray Epps, but a different figure labeled Northwest Scaffold Commander (referred to as Scaffold Commander). They emphasize that Sedition Hunters’ archives identified Scaffold Commander as their number-one suspect, although he was not placed on the FBI’s most-wanted list. - They recount how, on January 8, 2021, the FBI’s most-wanted list listed Ray Epps as a top suspect in the case, with public calls for information and a cash reward. By late June 2021, a Phoenix newspaper identified him as “Reyes,” and on July 1, 2021, the FBI removed Epps from the wanted list with no explanation and no arrest. They contrast this with Scaffold Commander, who was never added to the FBI’s public wanted list for identification by the public, despite being the focal point of Sedition Hunters’ investigations. - The speakers describe Scaffold Commander as an older man with glasses, a nerdy mask, and a blue cap, who allegedly directed the breach from the Northwest scaffold overlooking the Capitol. They claim he used a bullhorn to issue commands for approximately 18 minutes to an hour and a half, from 1:00 PM to about 2:30 PM, urging the crowd with phrases like “Move forward,” “Don’t just stand there,” “Help somebody over the wall,” and “We gotta fill up the capital.” - They juxtapose these observations with the chronology of the breach: the first breach around 12:53 PM, the crowd’s advance toward the Capitol, and the moment rioters entered the building. They argue Scaffold Commander acted as a ringleader and that Ray Epps was directly beneath him in the crowd, effectively functioning as an internal participant who helped draw people toward the front. - A key point they stress is that Scaffold Commander’s high perch and commanding role align with a long-cited CIA manual from 1983, Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare, which describes a small cadre of crowd agitators operating from elevated positions to direct slogans and crowd movement. They quote and reference passages describing an “outside commando element” that stays above the crowd to observe and direct a demonstration, using high observation points to shout instructions and guide the crowd’s actions. - The speakers argue that the FBI has not acknowledged Scaffold Commander, has not included him on any public list, and has not publicly solicited identification for him, despite Sedition Hunters’ focus on him as the pivotal organizer. They suggest that internal FBI records, memos, or emails about Scaffold Commander could be highly revealing, potentially showing whether higher-ups instructed not to pursue him. - They conclude by urging the FBI and related investigators to search their internal records for “Northwest Scaffold Commander” and make any relevant documents public, implying that such records could undermine the official narrative of the event. They also frame the existence of an internal, externally guided command structure as a critical piece of the January 6 story that remains underexplored by authorities.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." "01/06/2021, the media propaganda machine fed us a story that shapes the narrative of insurrection." "They intentionally left out some key details." "There's an entire timeline that you haven't seen and it tells a different story." "They're going into the capital, I think." "It looks like they got sniper rifles." "We want to petition our government for the redress of grievances." "Notice the smoke from the sniper's barrel?" "What do you think that means?" "This is where Joshua Black is shot in the face." "He never saw it coming." "The agitator Landon Copeland admitted to being a member of Antifa just after being sentenced for his involvement." "They're trying to save this guy's life right now."

Speaker 0 expresses intent to storm the Capitol. Speaker 1 discusses Reyes' actions before the Capitol breach. The mob storms the Capitol. Questions arise about Reyes' involvement in inciting the violence. No clear answers are given.

On January 5, 2021, Epps was seen in the crowd urging people to enter the Capitol, which led to the crowd chanting "fed." The behavior raised questions about his intentions. The following day, Epps was observed whispering to an individual, who then proceeded to forcibly tear down barricades. There are inquiries about whether Epps encouraged this action.

Discussion centers on alleged agent provocateur involvement in January 6. Speakers describe a theory that "federal agents ... instigating the violence, instigating the entering into the capital," and point to "this one guy" who is isolated on video yet faced no legal consequences. They discuss "Ray Epps, the Fed protected provocateur who appears to have led the very first one six attack January 6 attack on The US capital," and contrast him with others prosecuted. They debate whether the provocateur acted under government direction, was radicalized, or acted independently as a psycho, noting "this guy's doing this, like, over and over again." They reference the World Trade Organization in Seattle as a precedent for provocateurs, and note "100,000 different cameras" enabled scrutiny. A concern is raised about "an autocratic government that controls all aspects of society so none of this ever happens."

"He is calling for going into the capital the evening before January 6." "And this isn't just a one off, someone some crazy who comes and goes. No." "He goes repeatedly to group after group, redirecting them saying, we need to go into the capital." "on January 6, it's a veritable, where's Waldo? He's everywhere." "twenty seconds before the very first breach of the capital, this individual Ray Epps whispers into someone's ear," "So he's everywhere." "But what it did do is said that Ray Epps was acting alone." "the FBI scrubbed Epps's face from their database, from their public database, just a day after Revolver ran a report on his fellow oath keeper, Stuart Rhodes, who is also unindicted."

Speaker 0: Describes being “free as a bird,” moving “in the air,” and feeling “heavy,” with lyrics about diamonds and tattoos covering his scars. Mentions “Cut that bitch off,” not picking up when he calls, and hitting “another city” without needing to look around for others, saying he brought “the vibes” and “fresh off the press of cool.” References drinking, tinted eyes, and “Sprite” and “post some lines in it.” Claims the “shit here gonna sell itself,” with “weighted” motion and “one of my hoes shop in Chanel,” plus others “can’t stay off chain.” Repeats themes of “motion involved,” being “heavy,” “Diamonds and tattoos cover my scars,” “bulletproof” and “300 love,” and says “Make a killing,” “Got too many.” Speaker 1: Says “All over the place, guys,” and names Jack Kosoviak, Gabe Hoffman, Mike Cernovich, and Laura Loomer. Says Gabe Hoffman is “running humps on people” and calls him “a bad guy.” Says “I look like I’ve seen a ghost,” and claims someone very close to them was there “to infiltrate me.” Says “These are really fucking bad people,” “I’m beyond pissed,” and “It’s bad.” Claims “They tried to set someone up that you know and love.” Repeats “They’re fucking evil. These people are evil.” Says they are “unregistered foreign agents,” and claims “We’ll be watching,” saying “I will be watching,” including “everything they … everything you do.” Speaker 3: Responds “Hell yeah,” saying they are on their way back to the site to get a “burner phone” to use “ghost accounts” to “fuck Breva.” Speaker 5: States “We conduct riots and color revolutions,” “steal elections,” and “overthrow governments we don’t like,” and says “I was part of that.” Speaker 4: Says “IIA, which is social media psychological warfare,” and claims “We began that really in 2007.” Speaker 6: Says “They’re all being punished because they thought that what those important people told them was gonna happen.” Claims “I was there,” says people were “pumped that they were gonna fucking trash the capital,” and says, “And I was like, no. This is not good.” Speaker 7: Says the people “weren’t very prepared.” Speaker 0 replies that they’re not “come in to rush the building,” but asks whether “just having a little bit of security knowledge” meant they weren’t prepared. Speaker 1 says what “pisses me off” is that people say “I’m being handled.” Speaker 3 says “I’ve heard that before.” Speaker 7 warns it’s “very dangerous that people are out there giving people hope.” Speaker 4 concludes: “There is a storm coming like nothing you have ever seen, and not a one of you is prepared for it.”

Monument Hill. 'President is good speaking. We are going to the capital where our problems are. It's that direction. We spread the word.' The speaker notes the plan to move toward the capital to address issues and spread the message. 'Alright. No, Dave. But one more thing. Yeah. So can we go up there?' They then ask for permission to advance and discuss possible entry. 'No? When we go in Are we gonna get arrested when go up there?' The exchange continues with concern about violence, as they respond, 'Yeah. You don't need to get shot. Arrest us all?' today.

Speaker describes Ray Epps as "a man walking about a psychological paradox as the events of January 6 are unfolding because he seems to be singularly driven by this desire to get people to enter the capital, but then he is overwhelmingly concerned with no harm to officers or nothing that would, impair the operations of potentially other people that could have been acting at the behest of the federal government." "What were the tells that this didn't strike you as a genuine MAGA grandfather?" The piece hinges on "the video footage itself," with Revolver News' clip "Where's Waldo?" following Epps from January 5 into January, sixth. He argues there was "no plan by in the case of the Trump supporters to go in." He was at the barricade on January 6, and "the very first breach of the Capitol occurred literally two seconds after this same Ray Epps whispers into somebody's ear." Described as "professional"—"cool cucumber" and a "cold professional," proficient at crowd control. Red flags include "radical extreme suggestions" like "let's go into the capital," with a "weird emotional detachment" from the content of what someone is saying.

Speaker 0 asks Miss Sandburn about Ray Epps and his suspicious behavior during the January 6th incident at the Capitol. He mentions Epps chanting about getting into the Capitol and the crowd suspecting him of being a federal agent. Speaker 0 also brings up Epps whispering to someone who then tears down barricades. He questions whether Epps urged them to do so. Speaker 0 mentions the FBI's public post seeking information on individuals involved in violent crimes, including Epps, but later Epps disappears from the list. Speaker 0 expresses concerns about the government's involvement in encouraging illegal conduct on January 6th and asks if federal agents actively encouraged violence. Miss Sandburn denies any knowledge of such actions.

Speaker 0 warns against entering a certain location. Speaker 1 discusses a video clip showing a broken window and the departure of the police. Speaker 0 clarifies that they heard the radio communication ordering the police to leave. Speaker 1 mentions an individual with red hair being confronted and identifies them as an undercover FBI agent. Speaker 0 confirms this and describes another clip where a crowd tries to enter the Capitol building. They mention being pushed and sprayed with pepper spray. Speaker 0 captures footage of an individual leaning against a doorpost. The transcript ends.

The video explores the question of whether undercover agents or assets for the federal government played a role in instigating the events of January 6th. It focuses on Ray Epps, a man who has been accused of being a government informant and encouraging violence at the Capitol. The video presents evidence from various sources, including livestream footage, suggesting that Epps may have been acting suspiciously and repeating certain phrases to manipulate the crowd. However, it also acknowledges that there is no concrete proof of Epps' involvement as a confidential source. The lack of attention given to this story in the past is also highlighted.

The speakers discuss the Capitol incident on January 6th and focus on a person named Ray Epps. Speaker 1 claims that Epps caused damage and was initially on the FBI's list of top twenty people involved. However, Epps allegedly used his contacts within the organization to remove himself from the list. Speaker 1 saw Epps on January 5th near the BLM Plaza in Washington DC, where there was a protest. Speaker 1 urges the FBI to investigate Epps further. Speaker 0 expresses skepticism towards the media and Speaker 1 offers to call them instead of providing a phone number. The conversation ends with Speaker 0 requesting a way to contact Speaker 1.

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.

In a brief, on-the-scene exchange, Speaker 0 asks a woman what happened to her. Speaker 1 responds that she was maced. The conversation reveals that she was attempting to go inside a cafe when the incident occurred: she had made it “like a foot inside,” then was pushed out, and they maced her. Speaker 0 continues by asking for her name and where she is from. In reply, Speaker 1 identifies herself as Elizabeth and states that she is from Knoxville, Tennessee. When asked why she wanted to go inside, Speaker 0 frames the moment by noting the surrounding activity, “We’re storming the Capitol. It’s a revolution. Thank you.” Elizabeth’s answer to the question about her motive is explicit: she says that she and others are involved in actions described as storming the Capitol, and she characterizes the situation as part of a revolution.

Speaker 0 contemplates marching on the Capitol, acknowledging the risk of arrest. They say, 'I know. In fact, tomorrow, I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested. Well, let's not say it. We need we need to go I'll say it. Alright.' They urge action with, 'We need to go in to the capital. Let's go.' They preface with, 'I'm gonna put it out there,' and confess, 'I'm probably gonna go to jail tomorrow.' The message centers on a planned entry into the Capitol and the likelihood of facing jail, repeating the call to action 'We need to go into the capital.'

That one moment changed what we knew about Ray Epps that night when he whispered storm the capital before it had happened and echoed the official narrative before it was broadcast across the nation. Of supporters of president Trump stormed The US Capitol Building. We ran it through forensic software that technical investigators use for analyzing audio and video to make sure we heard correctly, and it had not been altered. Epps, who continued to direct people to the capital in the cold light of day on January 6, did not go into the capital himself, according to the January 6 committee and the FBI. He's never explained publicly why he said storm the capital, what he meant by that, or what he may have known. So why hasn't it been addressed? Nobody cared about the Ray Epp story.

Speaker 0 argues that the individual is late, then urges going into the capital, which is described as incitement and premeditated. The speaker asserts the person is on video stating, “we need to breach the capital” and says this is very relevant because people ended up doing it. The claim is that the individual is instigating violence, trying to provoke or catalyze illegal acts so that the government can arrest those involved, describing undercover federal assets as honeypots that goad people into committing crimes to enable arrests of people law enforcement wanted to arrest anyway. The speaker then questions if the DOJ or federal law enforcement is seeking an insurrection, conspiracy, or acts of violence aimed at undermining an act of Congress, and asks why they aren’t looking into this person, suggesting that a lack of interest implies he may be part of the government or federal law enforcement. The implication is that there could be a reason for not pursuing him other than him being unaffiliated, namely that he is working with law enforcement. Ted Cruz is described as addressing this in a Senate hearing, with the speaker plan to read a report from the New York Post. The report is quoted: “magically, mister Epps disappeared from the public posting. According to public records, mister Epps has not been charged with anything. No one has explained why a person videoed, urging people to go to the capital, a person whose conduct was so suspect, the crowd thought he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at.” The overall claim is that Mister Epps, who encouraged people to go to the capital, vanished from FBI attention without explanation, despite being photographed urging action and being suspected by the crowd of being a federal agent.

An FBI or federal agent is seen in a picture encouraging people to enter the Capitol on January 6th. One person expresses hesitation, but eventually agrees to go. They discuss the purpose of the barriers and claim that the Capitol is their house. They believe there were instigators intentionally placed among the crowd. They express gratitude to those who caused trouble and suggest that someone on their side may have switched allegiances. The speaker mentions a pastor's lengthy sermon that some people didn't want to hear. They observe individuals shaking the barriers and point out the presence of an FBI agent in the crowd.
