The organized
siege on the Capitol

epitomized and symbolized
the division and hatred

throughout the last decade
of American politics.

Not since 1814, over 200 years ago,

had the Capitol been
overrun by an angry mob.

Then it was the British.

Now the threat was closer to home.

The insurrection on the
6th of January, 2021,

orchestrated by right-wing extremists,

exposed dire flaws in the
security of one of the most

heavily protected buildings
and symbols of democracy

throughout the world.

Highlighting the danger conspiracies pose

when amplified into the mainstream.

Surrounding the building,
thugs from around the country

held a proverbial grip around the neck

of American democracy,

suffocating the will
of the American people.

Come with us, as we recount
the coordination, criminality,

and chaos of the "Capitol
Riot Minute By Minute."

November 5th, with no concessions in sight

or evidence for that matter,

Trump takes to the microphone
at a press conference

to declare the election fraudulent.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

A catalyst for chaos to come.

Good evening, I'd like to
provide the American people

with an update on our efforts
to protect the integrity

of our very important 2020 election.

If you count the legal
votes, I easily win.

If you count the illegal votes,

they can try to steal
the election from us.

For many,
the unsubstantiated claims

had sown the seed for
the most sustained attack

on the Capitol for over 200 years.

November 7th, 2020,

the country has spoken.

After months of campaigning
for Leader of the Free World,

Joe Biden is named President Elect.

The end to Donald Trump's
presidency was in sight.

January 2nd, 2021.

Okay, thank you very much.

Hello Brad and Ryan and everybody.

We appreciate the time and the call.

In an attempt
to garner more votes,

recorded conversations between
Republican Secretary of State

for Georgia, Raffensperger
and Donald Trump

expose his persuasive attempts

to alter the course of the count.

So we've spent
a lot of time on this

and if we could just go
over some of the numbers.

I think it's pretty clear that we won.

You have drop boxes where
the box was picked up

and not delivered for three days.

So all sorts of things could
have happened to that box.

Including, you know, putting
in the votes that you wanted.

And I know you would like
to get to the bottom of it,

although I saw you on television today

and you said that you found nothing wrong.

We have many, many times
the number of votes

necessary to win the state.

Much of this is a very- You
know, they're certified.

Far more certified than we need.

I don't
believe that you're really

questioning the the dominion machines,

because we did a hand
retally, a 100% retally of all

the ballots and compared
that to what the machine said

and it came up with
virtually the same result.

Then we did the recount, we
got virtually the same result.

So I guess we could probably
take that off the table.

We have all the votes we need.

You know, we won the state.

These are the most minimal numbers.

Again, if you
have additional records,

we've been asking for that,

but you haven't shared
any of that with us.

You just keep saying you've been-

But Cleta, a lot of it

you don't need to be shared.

I won this election by
hundreds of thousands of votes.

There's no way I lost
Georgia. There's no way.

This is a faulty election result.

And honestly, this should go very fast.

You should meet tomorrow
because you have a big election

coming up and because of what
you've done to the president,

you know, the people of of Georgia

know that this was a scam.

They hate the state,
they hate the governor.

I will tell you that right now.

And the only people
that like you are people

that will never vote for you.

You know that Brad, right?

They like you. You know, they
want more people like you.

So look, can you get together tomorrow-

And Brad, we just want the truth.

It's simple and the truth-

The real truth is I won by
400,000 votes, at least.

That's the real truth. But
we don't need 400,000 votes.

We need a less than 2000 votes.

Hey, good morning guys.

How are you?

Good.

Do you think the
president broke the law,

with that phone call set up?

Get with our com depart,
we'll set up an interview.

But, do
you think he did, sir?

In the week
running up to January 6th,

Trump loyalists, aids, and
legal counsel established

a war room within the
walls of the Willard Hotel,

only a block from the White House.

Plans to overthrow the will
of the people were in motion.

January 5th.

Trump allies, Roger Stone and Alex Jones

rile up the crowd on the
eve of Trump's speech

at the Save America rally.

Fuck Antifa!

Thank you. Thank you.

I have two words to say. Thank you, Jesus.

Because I am living proof
that God can do anything.

And when I was targeted
for a legal lynching

just up the road, in a
Soviet style show trial.

And when a wicked judge wanted to send me

to a Covid-19 infested
prison because they did not

want my appeal to reach the courts,

because it would expose their corruption.

Thank God for giving
the greatest President

since Abraham Lincoln,
the wisdom, the courage,

the strength to correct this injustice.

We have only begun to
resist the globalists.

We have only begun our
fight against their tyranny.

They have tried to steal this
election in front of everyone.

And as I told them 20 years
ago, I tell 'em again,

I don't know how this is gonna end.

But if they wanna fight, they
better believe they got one!

Proud of you boys.

Proud boys!

So tomorrow is gonna be an
amazing and spectacular day

when every day American
citizens get together

and fight tyranny.

Tomorrow, regardless of a fight,

should be a very happy day for us.

I want everybody to watch over us.

Protected by
oathkeeper and Proud Boy members,

Radical far right,
anti-government militias,

both loyalists return to the Willard Hotel

pushing on with their schemes

to tighten Trump's grip on power.

Fuck Antifa!

January 6th, 10:00 AM.

Crowds begin forming at Trump's rally.

Planned on the same day Congress meets

to certify the election results.

Meanwhile, members of the far right group,

The Proud Boys, seen here congregate

and begin their approach to the capital.

In the two hours leading
up to Trump's appearance,

a swelling group of his supporters

appear near the capital grounds.

We have the power in numbers.

We came here to protect our republic.

It's pretty good honey.

He has more fight in them
than every other one combined

and they need to stand
up and we need to march

on the capitol today.

Today I looked and I saw
thousands of people here,

but you don't see hundreds of
thousands of people behind you

'cause they don't want to show that.

We have hundreds of
thousands of people here,

And I just want them to be recognized

by the fake news media.

Turn your cameras please and show

what's really happening out here

because these people are not
going to take it any longer.

They're not gonna take it any longer.

go ahead, turn your cameras please.

Would you show they came from
all over the world actually,

but they came from all over our country.

12:00 PM,
Trump addresses the crowds

near the White House, inciting a march

on the United States Capital.

And to use a favorite
term that all of you people

really came up with,
we will stop the steal.

Almost 75 million people
voted for our campaign,

the most of any incumbent
president by far,

in the history of our country.

12 million more people
than four years ago.

And I was told by the real pollsters,

we do have real pollsters.

They know that we were gonna
do well and we were gonna win.

What I was told, if I
went from 63 million,

which we had four years ago to 66 million,

there was no chance of losing.

Well, we didn't go to
66, we went to 75 million

and they say we lost, we didn't lose.

And by the way, does
anybody believe that Joe

had 80 million votes?

Does anybody believe that?

All of us here today do not
want see our election victory

stolen by a bold and
radical left Democrats,

which is what they're doing and stolen

by the fake news media.

Our country has had enough,
we will not take it anymore.

And that's what this is all about.

Fight
for Trump! Fight for Trump!

Fight for Trump! Fight for
Trump! Fright for Trump!

12:53 PM.

It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace.

Even when you look at last night,

they're all running around like chickens

with their heads cut off with boxes

and nobody knows what
the hell is going on.

As Trump's speech continues,

supporters bear down on a
capital police barricade

along the western border
of the capital grounds.

12:54 PM.

Boiling over, the agitated crowd overpower

the unequipped police.

12:55 PM.

More supporters joined the
breach of the outer perimeter,

aiming to breach the capital chambers.

Continue forward! Do not stop! Continue!

Do not let a tyrannical police force in!

They only want to silence us!

1:00 PM.

Inside the capital chambers,
Congress begins a joint session

to certify the results.

Madam Speaker,

the Vice President and
the United States Senate.

By 1:03 PM,
Chief of Capital Police,

Steven Sund, makes several calls

to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Reinforcements are called
17 times in 78 minutes.

To be clear, available
intelligence pointed

to a large presence of
some of the same groups

that had contributed
to violence in the city

after demonstrations in
November and December.

The mob sustained assault on the Capitol

precipitated and equally
unprecedented response

within capital Police Chief Steve Sund

issuing an urgent request
for MPD to come assist

in defending the capital.

Needless to say, when we
received the call for help,

MPD responded immediately.

Within minutes, our members
arrive at a chaotic scene

in preparation for the
anticipated demonstrations

and the possibility of
violence on city streets.

MPD was fully deployed on 12 hour shifts,

the week of January 4th, with
days off and leave canceled.

At Mayor Bowser's request,
several area police departments

were on standby in DC,
and more than 300 members

of the National Guard were
deployed on District Streets,

providing traffic control
and other services.

However, these resources
were barely enough

to counter an event
that had never happened

in the history of the United States.

A mob of thousands of American citizens

launching a violent
assault on the US Capital.

Deceit of our government
and an attempt to halt

the counting of the electoral ballots,

an essential step in the peaceful transfer

of power in our nation.

1:12 PM.

No more than 18 minutes
since the initial breach,

the rioters gain access to the lower level

of the inaugural platform,

heavily outnumbering the
officers protecting the capital.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Roughly
9,500 people end up forming

part of the mob on the
west side of the building,

outnumbering officers, 58 to one.

Meanwhile near the White House.

Trump finishes his speech at the rally.

We will never give up.
We will never concede.

It doesn't happen.

You don't concede when
there's theft involved.

I hope Mike is gonna do the right thing.

I hope so, I hope so.

Because if Mike Pence
does the right thing,

we win the election.

We're gonna see whether
or not we have great

and courageous leaders or whether or not

we have leaders that should
be ashamed of themselves.

The radical left knows
exactly what they're doing.

They're ruthless and it's time

that somebody did something about it.

And Mike Pence, I hope
you're gonna stand up

for the good of our constitution

and for the good of our country.

And if you're not, I'm
gonna be very disappointed.

And after this we're gonna walk down

and I'll be there with you.

We're gonna walk down anyone you want,

but I think right here we're
gonna walk down to the Capital

and we're gonna cheer
on our brave senators

and congressmen and women.

And were probably not
gonna be cheering so much

for some of them.

Despite promising he'd walk

with the protestors, he
returns to his residence

to watch the chaos he'd
orchestrated live on television.

1:13 PM.

Recorded communications made
that day paint a vivid picture

of the chaotic atmosphere
descending on the building.

Commander Glover of the
Washington Met Police Force,

specializing in confrontations
and crowd control,

communicates with the
joint operation command.

All here at the Capitol,
all here at the Capitol.

DSO team, DSO team, DSO team to respond

to the west part of Capital.

1:15 PM.

In the ensuing chaos, officers
deploy a greater amount

of force to push back against
the growing number of rioters.

No effect-
and debris in return.

1:18 PM.

Injuries,
multiple Capitol injuries.

Glover's Transmissions show

at least nine requests for
backup and munitions were made.

Reinforcements struggled to reach

the swamped police personnel.

18.

12 to 5th we're coming around

from the south side.

Be advised of-

You got a group of about 50

charging up the hill on the west front,

just north of the stairs.

They're approaching the wall now.

They're
throwing metal poles at us.

Get me DSO here now, DSO.
Multiple one person injuries,

DSO get up here!

We're 30 seconds out.

We need some reinforcements up here.

Now they're starting
to pull the gates down.

They're throwing metal poles at us.

DSO, get up here.

Okay, we're
here. 12 to 50, we're here.

1:34 PM.

As the use of crowd control munitions

in the form of pepper
spray and tasers ramped up,

so did the violence against
the defenders of the Capitol.

We're still taking
metal sharpened objects,

missiles to include and rocks, enhanced

chemical grade fireworks.

Reaching boiling point,

protesters continue to encroach
on the capital entrances.

1:37 PM.

Glover calls in again.
Requesting even more backup.

I need those
two - here on the hill.

Sir, we have one coming.

We have one coming that's working. Copy.

Copy. I need 'em up here.

One mile
away, platoon unit 42

suits up in riot gear.

1:39 PM.

In the next 10 minutes, as platoon 42

makes its way towards the
capital, authorization

for more powerful measures
of crowd control are order.

40 mm - deployed.

50, 40 mm - authorized.

1:49 PM.

45 minutes since the initial infiltration

of the capital grounds, Glover broadcasts

over police communications declaring

the incident to be a riot.

50. We're gonna give riot-

we're gonna give riot warning.

Declaring it a riot.

Meanwhile,
outside of the capital grounds,

rioters not involved in the
onslaught of the capital

block the police's emergency response.

USA! USA!
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

1:57 PM.

Pushing past the police,
rioters gain entry

to the temporary scaffolding
area used for the inauguration

of the new incoming president.

On the western front, rioters
outnumber police 28 to one.

Tear that shit down!
Tear that shit down!

Take it back! Let's go!

When it's that God that's
going deliver America.

It's that God that's gonna save America.

It's that God going to heal America.

Hallelujah!

We're about five,

we're trying to make our
way through all this.

Five to 50,
be advised- they're trying

to breach into the Capitol.

Not gonna take it anymore,
this is our country!

This is our country!

Stand down. This is not
Antifa, this aint divided people.

These our Americans. Look at the flag.

Turn that flag up. Turn
that flag back up, sir.

Turn that flag up.

You're not in emotional distress?

We are not! Oh my god,
we are not in distress.

No, sir. Look at this!

2:00 PM.

20 minutes after the
initial call for backup,

platoon unit 42 remains
stuck in the lower level

of the inaugural platform.

The remaining officers
fall back to the doors.

The last line of defense.

Traitor!

You need
to pull back resources.

You need to go inside or pull back.

They're getting behind you,
you don't have enough recourse.

If I give this
up, they're gonna have-

At least it's Capitol defense,
we gotta hold what we have.

We can can't breathe! We
can't breathe! We can't breath!

2:08 PM.

Rioters forced their way around
and through the scaffolding,

up to the doors of the building.

USA! USA! USA!
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

2:09 PM.

On the east side of the building,

the crowd of protestors
swells to at least 2000.

Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention

for a minute please?

Do you remember president Busch in 9/11?

The World Trade center-

Yes, do something!

We're not here to kick
you out and use force.

No, no, none of that was-

I hear you.

2:12 PM.

Using riot shields looted
from the police response

rioters on the Western facade
smashed through pains of glass

looking to gain entry.

Say that again!

Mike Pence is
escorted out of the chamber

by Secret Service personnel
and leaves Charles Grassley

to preside over the ongoing debate.

In a further demonstration
of police failure,

over the next 20 minutes,
Glover demands a rondevu point

for his men to fall back to.

He receives no response.

2:13 PM.

50, We have
a breach of the capital,

breach of the capital to the upper level.

They're
requesting additional resources

on the east side as they've
broken into that window

and they're trying to kick it in.

♪ Oh say does that star
spangled banner yet wave, ♪

♪ O'er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave ♪

We are the
angels! We make a difference!

I got all night.

House will be in order.

We need order in the
house so he can proceed.

The gentleman from Arizona has

two and three quarters minutes remaining.

Capital rioters
breached the east face

of the building, forcing
entry into the halls

of the Capitol.

As the halls flood with obstructionist

for fear of fatalities,

Grassley orders the Senate
into an immediate recess.

We need to do something.

My challenge today is not about
the good people of Arizona.

We'll stay in a recess
until the call of the chair.

We'll pause.

Protestors are in the building.

Thank you.

It wasn't anything you said.

Officer Goodman seen here in this clip,

as a standoff against a
faction of the violent rioters,

one floor below the Senate chamber.

Goodman leads rioters past
where Pence is forced to hide,

along with his family,

no more than 40 feet away from the door.

The threat on Pence's life is palpable.

Chance of hang Mike Pence
throughout the halls of Congress

and a pre organized
construction of a gallows

on the Capitol lawn details,
the danger he faces.

They've
entered the building, hold.

If we lose anymore time, we
may lose the ability to leave,

so if we're gonna leave,
we need to do it now.

They've gained
access to the second floor

and I've got public about five
feet from me down here below.

Copy, they
are on the second floor.

Moving in now, we may want
to consider getting out,

and leaving now. Copy.

Will we encounter the people

once we make our way?

Repeat.

Counter any individuals,

If we made our way to the-

There's
six officers between us

and the people that are five
to 10 feet away from me.

Stand by, I'm
going down to evaluate.

Go ahead.

We have a clear
shot, If we move quickly.

We got smoke down, set by unknown smoke,

set downstairs by the protesters.

Is that route compromised?

We've had this-

In response,
the secret service

guide Pence and his family to the basement

inside a bare concrete loading
dock within the confines

of the underground parking garage.

Clear. We're coming out now.

All right. Make a way.

2:15 PM.

The doors to the Senate
chamber are bolt shut.

2:16 PM.

With the atmosphere inside the building

becoming more agitated
with every passing minute,

news of the breach makes its
way into the house chamber

where lawmakers are still in session.

Paul Gosar has the floor, as
order in the chambers halt.

Over 400,000 in mail
in ballots were altered,

switched from President Trump
to Vice President Biden,

or completely erased from
President Trump's totals.

The house
enters an immediate recess.

Without objection, the chair
declares the house in recess,

pursuant to clause 12 B of rule one.

Roughly four minutes

after the first boots entered the halls,

police chatter confirms
the capital building,

the center of American
democracy, has been breached.

The Capitol has been breached.

Capital
police issue a message

advising everyone to
hide and remain silent.

2:24 PM.

The mob to the east of the Capital,

pushed through a police barricade

and funneled through a main doorway.

In the next few minutes,
numbers inside the Cript,

the area below the rotunda, swells.

2:26 PM.

The very thread that binds us together.

To some lawmakers surprise,

representatives within
the house, resume session.

The gentleman's time is expired.

Without objection, the house is going

to go back into recess.

We can't hold this, we're
getting too many fucking people,

look at this, we're fucked.

2:28 PM.

We need an area
for the housing members.

They're all walking over
now through the tunnels.

In fear of their lives,

staff members hide under a
table in the conference room.

We're trying
to hold the upper deck,

we're trying to hold the upper deck now.

We need to hold the doors of the Capital.

I need- support.

We lost a life, we lost a life.

RIPD get back, RIPD get
back to the upper deck.

RIPD get back to the upper deck ASAP.

So we get an update.

So I need everybody's attention.

Get down
under your chairs if necessary.

So we have folks entering the rotunda

and coming down this way.

So we'll update you as soon as
we can, but just be prepared.

Stay calm.

2:29 PM.

Elsewhere, a group of rioters
congregate around the entrance

to the house chamber,
forcing a further recess

to proceedings.

USA! USA!
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

2:30 PM.

The Senate evacuates, separated

by a few law enforcement officials,

senators pass by within
yards of the angry mob,

fleeing through a nearby staircase.

2:33 PM.

Over the airwaves, police
order all military personnel

and sworn officers to descend
on the breached capital.

Please
be advised US capital,

just at all military and
sworn officers to come to-

Two copy.

What was the first part
of the transmission?

Military, as
well as all sworn testers

due to a breach to the
capital. Do you copy?

In the ensuing chaos,

members of the legislature are advised

to equip the gas masks under
their seats and evacuate.

Police barricade the door
against the advancing mob

pointing their live firearms.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

We gotta take em in waves, get in there-

Give us that mask.

208 with four
members. The doors barricade.

There's people flooded
the hallways outside.

We have no way out.

2:41.

During the evacuation
of the house chamber,

rioters almost bump into
the fleeing representatives

who are escorted through,
rarely used narrow staircases

to a secure location.

2:44 PM.

Unable to escape, members
in the upstairs gallery

conceal themselves under their seats.

2:49 PM.

After a five minute standoff, those stuck

in the upper gallery of the
house chamber, evacuate.

Officers still
remaining on the house floor

in the- on the third floor-

Time to evacuate so we
can secure the members

on the other side. Copy.

US Capital
Police escort the final group

of lawmakers to safety.

Silence from the White House persists.

in the eyes of many,
Trump's lack of action

contributed to the violence.

4:05 PM.

President elect Biden
addresses national TV

in an attempt to sedate the insurrection.

I'm sorry.

Not just an inconvenience,

but I'm sorry for the
reason we've delayed-

I've delayed coming out to speak to you.

I initially was gonna
talk about the economy.

But all of you- all of
you've been watching

but I've been watching.

At this hour, our democracy is
under unprecedented assault,

unlike anything we've
seen in modern times.

Two minutes earlier,

Trump enters the Rose
Garden at the White House.

Can you tell me when-

When, when you're ready, sir.

To prepare his
own delivery to the nation.

Who's behind me?

He's gone. He's gone
around. We're all clear now.

We're walking.

I know you're pain. I know you're hurt.

We had a election. Lemme see...

You need to take that shit off!

I know you pain. I know you hurt.

We are the angels!

We had an election
that was stolen from us.

Fight for Trump!

It was a landslide election
and everyone knows it.

Especially the other side.

But you have to go home
now. We have to have peace.

4:17 PM.

15 minutes since the first
take, Trump tweets the video,

continuing his false narrative
that the election was stolen.

5:40 PM.

Official statements declare
the Capital is secure.

6:00 PM.

To quell any possible further unrest,

Washington DC enforces a curfew.

Move! Move! Move! Move!

8:06 PM.

Senate will come to order.

Today was a dark day in the history

of the United States Capital.

But thanks to the swift
efforts of US Capital police,

federal, state, and local law enforcement,

the violence was quelled.

The capital is secured and
the people's work continues.

January 7th, 4:00 AM.

At the end of a long day and night,

as the vandalism lays
strewn across the symbol

of American democracy,

Congress officially declares Joe Biden

as the 2020 election victor,
ending the current presidency.

The report we make is that
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

will be the president
and the vice president,

according to the ballots
that have been given to us.

The harrowing
encounter experienced

by brave law enforcement officials,

suffered at the hands of
violent right wing extremists,

led four officers to commit
suicide in the days and months

following the attempted coup.

January 6th, 2021.

The desecration of the
capital marks a sad day

in American political history.

The events that day left a
scar on American democracy.

Not since the days of the Civil War

had democracy been threatened.

For the first time in
United States history,

a peaceful transition of
power did not take place.
