I'm at the building where the supposed sniper took a shot. It's not steep, a 7-year-old could climb up easily. Secret Service should have been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. The president was speaking from the stage behind me. There are questions in Butler, but we will investigate to ensure it never happens again.

I am here to correct errors in the record of the January 6th events, focusing on the delayed National Guard response. The Inspector General's report contains inaccuracies, including false denials of key officials' involvement in decision-making. Despite requests to deploy, the Guard was held back, arriving too late to prevent violence. The delayed response was due to paralyzed decision-making by Pentagon leaders, causing a 3-hour delay. I hope to clarify the facts and answer any questions.

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 witnessed suspicious behavior, shared photos with snipers, but lacked communication with Secret Service. Despite efforts to stop the attack, we feel we failed as lives were lost.

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.

Translation: The speaker acknowledges the lack of accountability for the events at the Capitol and regrets not taking action sooner.

Some individuals had planned to storm the Capitol as part of their agenda. Although I hesitate to mention it, as it could lead to my arrest, we must take action. We need to enter the Capitol. Let's proceed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Secret Service report on the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, PA reveals a 26-minute stand down order, restrictions on surveillance equipment, and officers being directed away from critical areas. The local police were even told to take a break at McDonald's. This was not just a series of mistakes, but a coordinated attempt on a former president's life. Transparency, answers, and justice are needed in this situation.

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.

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.

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.

They monitored the area before my speech, but nobody warned me about a man on the roof with a gun. People noticed him and even shouted, yet no action was taken. It was a mistake not to address the situation earlier.

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.

The speaker questions why the FBI didn't inform cabinet secretaries about potential threats on January 6th. They criticize the lack of security measures at the Capitol and mention offering National Guard support, which was declined. They believe better information sharing could have prevented the events. The speaker emphasizes that protecting the Capitol is a law enforcement responsibility, not a military one, and suggests cooperation between agencies. They imply political reasons for the lack of action.

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.

We were supposed to have a briefing with Secret Service snipers, but it never happened. This made me realize something was wrong. We had no communication with them until after the shooting, which was too late. Translation: We were supposed to have a meeting with Secret Service snipers, but it never occurred.

We noticed a suspicious person, shared photos with snipers, but didn't receive a response. Secret Service didn't communicate with us before the shooting. Climbed onto the roof unsure of the situation, found the shooter's body. Despite efforts, we feel we failed that day as lives were lost and we could have done more to prevent it.
