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.

While Trump claims there was love on that day, the nation, including law enforcement, witnessed hate and violence. A Capitol police officer describes it as a medieval battle and expresses fear.

January 6th is not being forgotten. The January 6th committee has documented the events for history, and many people still care about democracy. In the last election, a significant majority believed Donald Trump acted wrongly, as he led an insurrection. Our focus now is on implementing the people's will through a peaceful transition of power. Tomorrow, on January 6th, Democrats and Republicans will unite to certify the election results, symbolically walking together with the ballots. This is a fundamental aspect of what America stands for, and we will uphold it on inauguration day.

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.

A massive crime against the constitution occurred, violating the presidential oath. Attendees were urged to march to the Capitol to express their voices.

Claims of a rigged election were made, prompting supporters to threaten election officials. The Secretary of State in Georgia faced death threats, and the environment became increasingly dangerous. The violence was not condemned; instead, it was incited, leaving many to wonder why there weren't uprisings across the country. The message was clear: the violence would not cease, nor should it.

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.

Discussions about using triple chasers and the risks of fire are noted, with one officer being reprimanded for earlier smoke deployment. - A captain directs Officer Thao to hold off discharging CS gas, while Thao acquires a Stinger round and a baton round to fire into the crowd.

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 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.

I address the attack on the US Capitol, condemning the violence and lawlessness. I deployed the national guard and law enforcement to secure the building. Those who engaged in violence do not represent our country and will face consequences. Despite contesting the election results, Congress has certified them, and a new administration will be inaugurated. Now, my focus is on a smooth transition of power. We must heal and reconcile after a challenging year with the pandemic. Rebuilding the economy and defeating the virus requires unity and emphasis on civic values. I thank my supporters and believe our journey is just beginning. God bless America.
