Witnesses claim they met with witnesses who met with President Trump on January 4th, where he allegedly offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. However, Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, testified publicly that Trump never issued an order to deploy the Guard. Kash Patel and others confirm under oath that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops for January 6th. According to one witness, the meeting was initially focused on serious national security threats, and Trump brought up January 6th at the end, authorizing the National Guard. The request to utilize the troops never came. The witness emphasized the meeting's primary focus was a foreign threat to the U.S. and that Trump was acting as any commander-in-chief would.

At 12:53, the speaker called the Washington DC Police Department for assistance. They requested additional resources on Constitution Avenue to prevent an attack. At 12:58, the speaker called the sergeant in arms for help and a declaration of emergency. They were told to wait for authorization from higher-ups. Over the next 71 minutes, the speaker made 32 calls to various agencies, including the Secret Service. Despite not having official approval, they requested assistance to protect their team. Finally, at 2:09, 71 minutes later, the speaker received approval and immediately informed their colleague. They were frustrated by the delay and marked the time as 2:10.

President Trump authorized 10,000 National Guard troops before January 6th, but the request was denied by Mayor Bowser and Pelosi. Capitol Police were blamed for not calling in the Guard earlier despite intelligence about a possible attack. There are allegations of a cover-up by Pelosi and Democrats, with claims of evidence being destroyed. Witnesses testify that Trump did authorize the Guard deployment. Calls for criminal referrals for obstruction have been made.

Congress passed a law requiring the speaker to request federal resources for events like the Capitol attack. The speaker was denied twice by the House and Senate Sergeant Arms due to optics and lack of intelligence support. The speaker had to go through these individuals to request the National Guard, even during the attack. After 71 minutes and 32 calls, the speaker finally received approval. This delay is surprising considering the severity of the situation, and the speaker was frustrated by the delay.

At 1 PM, Capitol police shot at peaceful protesters outside the US Capitol. The police provoked and harmed the crowd, resulting in the death of civilian protesters. This continued for 70 minutes until the capital was breached at 2:30 PM.

The missing ornato interview revealed that Trump offered up to 10,000 troops to the committee. Vanity Fair reported Trump offered National Guard in January. White House employees confirmed Trump's response to the Capitol attack was to offer help. Pelosi and Bowser turned down the National Guard offer.

We discovered a previously missing interview where it was revealed that Trump heard Mark Meadows offer 10,000 troops. In January, Vanity Fair reported that Trump authorized the National Guard and told Secretary Miller to prepare them. Additionally, a White House employee present during the Capitol attack stated that Trump’s immediate response was to contact Pelosi and Milley for assistance. There are multiple records showing that Trump offered the National Guard, but the requests were declined by Pelosi and Bowser.

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.

Witnesses claim they met with President Trump on January 4th, and that he offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. According to Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, Donald Trump never issued any order to deploy the guard to protect the Capitol. Four interviewees confirm that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Donald Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops, two days before January 6th. Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women for utilization should the request come in, but those requests never did. This was stated under oath under the threat of a penalty of perjury. The meeting was about a foreign threat directed towards the United States. The president then brought up January 6th, and was doing exactly what a commander in chief should do.

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.

Captain Timothy Nick, an Army National Guard officer, addressed factual errors in the response to the January 6 Capitol attack. He disputed the Department of Defense inspector general's report, alleging inaccuracies in Pentagon officials' response. Nick highlighted discrepancies in officials' presence during critical calls and emphasized delayed deployment of the National Guard. He criticized Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller and Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy for paralyzed decision-making, resulting in a 3-hour delay. Nick expressed readiness of the National Guard to assist but lamented arriving too late to prevent casualties.

The United States military, including Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley, discussed locking down Washington DC due to concerns of violence at the Capitol on January 6th. They considered revoking permits for demonstrations on Capitol Hill. However, I, the one who issues these permits, was not informed. Instead, on January 4th, Miller restricted the National Guard from carrying any weapons or civil disobedience equipment that could be used during the anticipated demonstrations or violence. This decision seems contradictory, as the military expressed concern about potential violence while limiting the National Guard's ability to respond aggressively.

Protesters stormed Capitol Hill, with police officers removing barricades to let them inside. Some officers seemed welcoming, while others allowed individuals like the "horns guy" into the Senate. The purpose of the protest remains unclear. Contrary to the narrative, footage shows protesters peacefully walking through the Capitol, taking tours, and posing for selfies. They appeared respectful of the building. However, there were also instances of police officers preparing to use force and requesting more munitions. The events of January 6th were a mix of peaceful demonstrations and tense confrontations. (98 words)

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.

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.

On January 6, 2021, the House Sergeant at Arms, Paul Irving, appointed by Speaker Pelosi, expressed concerns about the "optics" of deploying the National Guard. When Chief Sun requested the Guard, Irving said he'd "run it up the chain," implying Pelosi's office. Pelosi stated she hadn't spoken to Chief Sun since the initial breach, but Sun says he spoke with her three times that evening. He briefed her on plans to get everyone back into chambers. Prior to January 6, Sun requested National Guard assistance from Irving and Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger. Irving didn't like the optics and Stenger suggested Sun contact General Walker about availability. Stenger later told Sun that Irving had forewarned him, saying Pelosi would never approve the Guard. During a call on January 6, military personnel recommended against Sun's request for the National Guard. Chief Conte of the Metropolitan Police Department questioned this denial. General Milley did not share intelligence about violent rhetoric and threats with Chief Sun. The Capitol Police requested National Guard assistance at 1:49 PM, but approval from the acting Secretary of Defense didn't come until 5:08 PM. The Guard arrived at the Capitol by 5:20 PM.

On that day, preparations were underway to mobilize the National Guard following a lawful request from local authorities, including the mayor of DC and the speaker of the house. Days prior, discussions in the Oval Office included the President authorizing over 20,000 National Guardsmen to secure the Capitol. The Department of Defense had approached Capitol Police multiple times about needing assistance, but those requests were often declined. The Capitol sergeant at arms, reporting to the speaker of the house, confirmed that assistance was unnecessary. Mayor Bowser also declined additional National Guard support in writing before January 6th. When asked about violence against law enforcement, the response was a clear condemnation of all such acts. Additionally, a promotion for a new immune-boosting product was mentioned, highlighting its benefits and introductory discount.

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.

The transcript presents a detailed narrative and timeline of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, emphasizing the sequence of events, key actors, and the evolving security dynamic as the day unfolded. - Preceding the day, hundreds of peaceful rallies followed the November 2020 election. Polls showed concern about election irregularities in key states; none of these rallies were violent. On January 6, crowds gathered around multiple areas in Washington, DC, with the Ellipse hosting President Trump’s speech, and other groups assembling on the West and East sides of the Capitol and nearby locations. The mood of the crowd at morning events is described as joyful and hopeful, viewing it as the last chance to see the president’s national address. - Around 11:41 AM, Ryan Samsell (spelled Samsal in some segments) crosses an intersection with officers; Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, is seen crossing the same intersection and would later lead investigations of Samsel and others. Four minutes later, officers respond to a report of a gun and question a person with a knife; he is released after it is determined there is no firearm. - Trump’s speech timeline: at about 15 minutes into his remarks, Trump mentions that after the speech they will walk to the Capitol. 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 crowd already forms at barricades on the East Plaza as Pence arrives. Shortly after, Trump’s remarks are referenced in real time as the Ellipse speech concludes. - The first major breach occurs as barricades are breached: Samsell (Samsel) is seen near a barricade; Ray Epps is observed directing demonstrators toward the Capitol. A barrier is pushed into the police line, knocking a police officer (Caroline Edwards) to the ground, initiating the first violent skirmish. - By 12:58 PM, a West Lawn fence is down; five Capitol Police officers guard the area behind barricades, while a Black ski-masked individual removes a barrier and leads crowds toward the West Lawn. Samsell and Epps are repeatedly seen near barricades as the crowd pushes forward. - A man named Benjamin Phillips collapses on the West Plaza around 12:59 PM; responders assist him, and he dies later that day. Inside the Capitol, Vice President Pence is in the House chamber for the electoral vote certification. - The Capitol Police deploy less-lethal munitions beginning around 1:06 PM. At 1:12 PM, Trump finishes his Ellipse remarks; a split-screen real-time view shows concurrent events around the Capitol. At 1:13 PM, Officer Thao requests more munitions and later fires a Taser (ECD). The first use of a chemical agent is reported, and the crowd’s advance continues toward the interior. - By 1:21 PM, the first explosive munition is discharged; rubber bullets, tear gas, and incendiaries hit the crowd in rapid succession for about an hour. At 1:28 PM, a man collapses; CPR is attempted. A person named Roseanne Boylan later dies from injuries sustained in the crush. - The West Plaza portion of the Capitol sees a collapse of the police line; by 1:38–1:41 PM, Trump tweets urging peace; Ray Epps is frequently seen near the front lines as demonstrators enter the West Plaza area and push past police barriers. - Around 1:50 PM, CS gas is deployed in the Northwest side, causing police to retreat; demonstrators advance toward the Capitol interior. 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. A misfire of CS gas by a DC officer leads to a dispersal collapse of the West Plaza line, and the crowd surges into the Capitol interior. - In the Capitol Rotunda and Senate chamber, demonstrators roam and occupy spaces; Jacob Chanceley is seen in the Senate chamber, and threats to security escalate as officers and demonstrators contend in multiple locations. - At 3:19 PM, police expel demonstrators from the tunnel; a US Capitol Police officer is dragged into the crowd but returns to the line. By 4:17 PM, Trump posts a one-minute video urging peaceful departure; Twitter adds a warning label and later removes the video. - At 5 PM, curfew is announced; tear gas is used to drive remaining demonstrators from upper levels; National Guard troops begin to arrive. At 8 PM, the Capitol is declared secure, and the session resumes later that night with the Arizona vote certification. - The narration closes with a reflection on the day’s legacy, noting that fourteen days later, Joe Biden would be inaugurated, and asking whether the public’s understanding of January 6 has progressed toward a fuller timeline and context.

The speaker recounts a phone call with Lieutenant General Pyot Pyot and General Flynn, where they discuss the urgent need for the National Guard at the Capitol. However, General Pyot expresses concern about the optics of having the National Guard present. The speaker emphasizes the dire situation and the denial of assistance, leading to frustration. They mention the shooting of Ashley Babbit and the delayed arrival of the National Guard at 6 PM. The speaker also highlights the fact that resources were sent to protect the homes of other generals but not theirs. They suggest that this systematic denial of support raises suspicions and could lead to conspiracy theories. The conversation ends with a discussion about the lack of intelligence and the politically charged nature of the situation.

Witnesses claim they met with witnesses who met with President Trump on January 4th, where he allegedly offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. However, Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, testified that Trump never issued an order to deploy the Guard. Kash Patel and others confirm under oath that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops for January 6th. According to one witness, the meeting was initially about a serious foreign threat to the U.S. Trump then brought up January 6th, authorizing the National Guard. The witness stated Trump was doing what any commander in chief would do.

Kash Patel, former Pentagon chief of staff under Trump, confirms Trump authorized 10-20,000 National Guard troops before January 6th, but Capitol Police and Mayor Bowser did not request their deployment. Mayor Bowser declined National Guard support in writing. Nancy Pelosi oversees Capitol Police, who would have consulted with her before requesting National Guard assistance. Biden's DOD inspector general found no delay or obstruction by Trump administration on January 6th.

The United States military, including Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley, discussed locking down Washington DC due to concerns of violence at the Capitol on January 6th. They considered revoking permits for demonstrations on Capitol Hill. However, I, the one who issues these permits, was not informed. Instead, on January 4th, Miller restricted the National Guard from carrying any weapons or civil disobedience equipment, which doesn't make sense. So, the military expresses worry about potential violence but simultaneously limits the National Guard's ability to take an aggressive stance.
