Two groups clash over who may be in the building and who is authorized to act as the governing authority of the institute. - The conflict centers on who is recognized as the president of the institute. Speaker 0 says, “The president of the first day is the right to be in the building,” and insists they have seen paperwork that supports Mister Jackson as president. Speaker 1 counters that he is “the president of this institute” and asks for the other side’s credentials and documents, signaling a challenge to Speaker 0’s claim. - The outside counselors (not employed by USIP) state they are there to address issues and note they do not work for the agency or institute being discussed. They say, “Are you all work for USIP? We are the outside counselors. You do not work for USIP.” This creates tension about authority and whose procedures apply. - The group inside, including Speaker 1, questions the motives and legality of the intruders, framing the situation as unauthorized access. Speaker 1 emphasizes control of the scene, saying, “I’m the president of this institute. I’m asking the questions, not you.” They propose to proceed with a judge’s decision regarding who has rightful access, noting, “According to news, sir. And how do we decide? You wanna talk about the second law and how the board goes off? No. We’re go over. It hasn’t been decided. It’s gonna be decided by a judge.” - There is a clear conflict about process and authority: the outsiders say they are present to facilitate a meeting but are unsure how long their involvement lasts and emphasize the need to identify who is authorized to be in the building. The outsiders insist on conducting a meeting inside first and indicate that certain individuals will not be allowed to come back in, stating, “You’re not allowed. I don’t know what I’m gonna have to let anyone pass you. So please don’t walk this way. Four of you are not coming back in today.” - Access to personal property and documents becomes a point of negotiation. The outsiders request to retrieve personal items, while inside personnel want to conduct their meeting inside first and control access, saying, “We need to have our meeting inside first. Thank you.” They offer to allow retrieval of personal belongings after the meeting but prioritize internal access. - The exchange ends with continued insistence on controlling entry and a directive to move toward a meeting inside, with the outsiders escorted away from certain areas and told to wait while the internal decision-making progresses.

A speaker notes that President Trump “won’t be finished speaking at the Ellipse for another forty minutes.” There is mention that Mike Pence “has to agree to send it back.” - By 12:45 PM, footage shows a wall of people arriving about a block west of the Capitol, gathering at Peace Circle where Pennsylvania Avenue ends and becomes Pennsylvania Walkway, leading to the West Side of the Capitol. A security camera view from the exterior dome shows the crowd rapidly filling the area in front of the West Plaza, with those entering Capitol grounds potentially seeing no prior warnings or barriers. - Inside the Capitol, Vice President Mike Pence enters the House chamber to convene the joint session to certify electoral votes, while President Donald Trump continues speaking at the Ellipse, seemingly unaware of the crowd at the Capitol. Outside, DC Capitol Police Deputy Chief Waldo orders the less-lethal team into position. - A sequence of tactical movements follows: a request for less-lethal teams to move up from the Upper West Terrace and an elevated position being prepared.

Officers deploy “Steamboat” rounds and other munitions as the crowd is contained. - Around 01:32 PM, an officer laments that throwing grenades into the crowd will make things worse, but moments later another officer seems to change course and reaches for additional munitions. 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.

It's 12:45 on Wednesday afternoon at the capitol. I'm standing by the barricade on the west side, concerned about the lack of security. I inform a Capitol Police officer that there are only 9 men on the perimeter, which won't be enough for the large crowd expected in the next 15 minutes. He dismisses my concerns, claiming they handle protests all the time. I laugh and warn him that he's about to learn a hard lesson in chaotic situations.

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 crowd already forms at barricades on the East Plaza as Pence arrives.

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.

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.
