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 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.

Congresswoman Pelosi asks, “Are you at all concerned that the new January 6 committee will find you liable for that day? Right here.” The other participant replies, “I can.” Pelosi then asks, “Are you at all concerned about the new January 6 committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you re refuse the National Guard on January 6?” The respondent retorts, “Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?” Pelosi concludes, “The American people wanna know. We still have questions. Thank you.”

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.

On January 6th, a group of colleagues were outside having fun, while others inside the Capitol building were scared. Matthew Rosenberg of The New York Times asks for the truth. A video suggests Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden discussing framing the protesters. They talk about the need to prosecute those who threatened democracy and stop protests in the capital. The video raises concerns about the political power brokers protecting their own interests. It ends by stating that the public should watch the video and decide for themselves what happened that day.

Governor, the Virginia National Guard has been called in, but federal approval is needed for jurisdiction. There are reports of violence and chaos, allegedly instigated by the president. We discovered a previously missing interview where it was noted that Trump offered 10,000 troops for assistance on January 6. Evidence shows that when the Capitol was attacked, Trump’s immediate response was to contact Pelosi and Milley for help. However, it was Pelosi and Bowser who declined the National Guard's assistance. This situation raises concerns about potential cover-ups following January 6, and it’s crucial to uncover the truth, regardless of party affiliations. We will pursue the evidence wherever it leads.

During a brief exchange, a journalist asks Congresswoman Pelosi whether the newly formed January 6 committee could hold her liable for the events of that day and why she allegedly refused the National Guard. Pelosi responds directly, saying, "Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it." She then challenges the journalist, asking why they are presenting questions as if they are "Republican talking points" and accusing the journalist of not being a serious journalist. The journalist reiterates that the American people want to know and still has questions, and concludes by thanking Pelosi.

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. Pelosi told 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."

Congresswoman Pelosi was questioned about the new January 6 committee potentially finding her liable for that day and about refusing the National Guard. Pelosi responded, "Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?" The interviewer concluded, "The American people wanna know. We still have questions. Thank you."

The video shows a discussion between Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Joe Biden about the events of January 6th. They express concern about the protesters and the need to bring them to justice. Pelosi mentions a shoot-to-kill order for any breach of the speaker's lobby. The video suggests that the political power brokers are trying to protect their own interests by framing the protesters. Matthew Rosenberg of The New York Times asks for the truth.

I was going to discuss the January 6 hostages, but there's a lot of action coming on that front. Today, Joe issued pardons for individuals guilty of serious crimes, and the unselect committee has destroyed much of the evidence, including hearings. They deleted information about Nancy Pelosi rejecting an offer of 10,000 soldiers for security. Even 500 could have made a difference that day, despite the large crowd. There are many great photos from that day that aren't shown, focusing instead on the Capitol. I intended to address this, but was advised to wait until tomorrow. I decided to bring it up now.

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.

It's crucial for everyone to forget what was said that day. A call was made to march to the Capitol to peacefully express voices, but it escalated into a violent siege. Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that a Capitol police officer was killed by the mob, which also defaced symbols of freedom. The rioters were actively searching for the vice president and the speaker of the house.

The discussion centers on the security failures during the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach. It is clarified that there were three calls between the Chief and Speaker Pelosi on that day, contradicting her claim of no communication. The Chief expressed concerns about the House Sergeant at Arms, Paul Irving, who prioritized optics over security, delaying the National Guard's deployment. The conversation shifts to political implications, with accusations that Speaker Pelosi politicized security issues. Several speakers criticize the focus on January 6 rather than pressing issues like crime and inflation. They emphasize the need for serious discussions about security and governance, expressing frustration over perceived political gamesmanship. The dialogue also touches on the treatment of January 6 detainees and the use of force by correctional officers, highlighting concerns about civil rights violations.

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.

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.

Town halls are meant for voters, not the press or the moderator. The speaker criticizes Caitlyn for interjecting her own views. They mention spending a significant amount of time discussing January 6th and their involvement in the oversight committee. They state that Donald Trump authorized national guard troops on January 4 and followed up on January 5. They claim that everyone testified in the oversight committee except the Capitol Police, which Nancy Pelosi allegedly prevented.

The denial of the request for national guardsmen on January 6th remains a pivotal moment. The person responsible for that decision is known, but the reason behind it is still unknown. There has been no answer to that question. Additionally, Representative Bennie Thompson stated that Speaker Pelosi was off limits and her records would not be obtained by the J6 committee. However, she was in charge of the House that day. It is important to uncover the truth and understand what truly happened. Otherwise, it seems absurd, like a scene from a play.

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.

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.

We had a responsibility, but there was a lack of accountability for what was happening. It's absurd to question whether we should call the Capitol Police or National Guard after the breach had already 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 more significant events.

Speaker 1 argues that Jack Smith’s request to prevent evidence about security or intelligence failures before January 6 is unacceptable, claiming it would excuse Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of DC for failures. He asserts Pelosi was responsible for January 6 because she did not accept the security help offered, stating that 10,000 troops or National Guard were available if needed before the event, and that the event would have been different if 500 or 200 people had been used; he emphasizes that he offered 10,000 troops and that January 6 would not have happened with a larger deployment. He notes that he personally attended and gave a speech, and claims the audience included the largest number he has spoken to, contrasting with the smaller group that he says went down to the Capitol. Speaker 1 contends that the party should be allowed to introduce evidence showing that there were security and intelligence shortcomings, including the assertion that Pelosi “did not take the security that we offered her,” with the offer of 10,000 troops and the fact that “you had far fewer people than that.” He mentions that the unselect committee did not discuss or include references to “peacefully and patriotically” behaving crowds and says this group was not highlighted by the committee or in their words. He criticizes the prosecutor, calling Jack Smith a “deranged human being, unattractive both inside and out,” and accuses Smith of wanting to suppress testimony because the committee “illegally destroyed everything” and deleted evidence related to Pelosi’s decisions about troop deployment. He asserts that much evidence indicated Pelosi did not want the troops and that a letter from the mayor contradicted Pelosi’s stance. Speaker 0 acknowledges the point but keeps the dialogue focused; Speaker 0 reminds that Capitol Police Chief Steve Sun said January 6 was a preventable event if the intelligence and resources requested had been provided, noting that Speaker 0 sees this as an amazing point and confirms that the offer of troops was in writing. Speaker 1 reiterates that he offered 10,000 troops for January 6 and emphasizes that this fact is in writing, arguing that the prosecution is attempting to suppress relevant evidence. He maintains that Pelosi’s leadership and decisions about security are central to the discussion, and he reiterates the claim that the offer of security was not acted upon. The conversation pivots back to the assertion that the Capitol Police Chief’s past statements support the claim that January 6 was preventable with proper intelligence and resources.
