1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,240
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,480
The magnificent Capitol has the house
Congress since 1800.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,600
The US Congress meets here
to establish the laws of the nation.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,720
They approved the constitutional amendment
which gave women the right to vote.

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker Gillett
signed the bill...

6
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,520
The 7th of December 1941 is
a date that will never be forgotten.

7
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,800
...served his country and freedom

8
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,280
to help other nations
strengthen their independence

9
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,920
and cure the social chaos there
Communism has always flourished.

10
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,160
It's wrong, deadly wrong,

11
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:11,400
to deny any of your fellow Americans
voting rights in this country.

12
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,120
PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON VOTING RIGHTS
MARCH 15, 1965

13
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,760
In the eyes of many in the world
er denne seremonien hvert 4. år

14
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,520
as we usually calculate,
nothing less than a miracle.

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Members of Congress,
President of the United States.

16
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,560
Spørsmålet om helsetjenester.

17
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,480
I'm not the first to bring up
the case, but I will be the last.

18
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Together we will do
America great again.

19
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Thanks. God bless you.
And God bless America.

20
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States,
will be denied a new term.

21
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,880
The Trump campaign goes to
lawsuits in several states.

22
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,160
But the way is clear
for the new president-elect.

23
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,200
JANUARY 6

24
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,280
It is Wednesday 6 January 2021.
Later in "America In The Morning"…

25
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,080
Police in Washington DC
have arrested six

26
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
ahead of today's
pro-Trump election rallies.

27
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,560
Congress will meet for
to count the electoral college's votes

28
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,720
which confirms Joe Biden's victory.

29
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,840
An infectious coronavirus variant
has now spread to five states,

30
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,480
but vaccines
is still difficult to obtain.

31
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280
On the morning of January 6, I go out

32
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,480
and waiting for my chief of staff,
who picks me up on the way down.

33
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120
We drive down,
and we see people walking around

34
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,960
with lots of Trump flags

35
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,400
and disturbing Southern flags.

36
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,120
It was a big one
group of Trump supporters there.

37
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,200
We stopped at a red light and that was it
a guy in the car next to us…

38
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,800
This guy has the windows down

39
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,280
and he plays this song loudly.

40
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,280
The song "F... Donald Trump",
and he laughs.

41
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,200
Someone in the group started
to roar to him and to us.

42
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,680
They said:
"We're going to take it all back."

43
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,600
"Trump won." As we drove,
pointed the finger at someone.

44
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000
So it didn't bode well.

45
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
KYLE RITTENHOUSE DID NOTHING WRONG

46
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720
-USA!
-Come on!

47
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000
I am an independent filmmaker.

48
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,400
I'm wearing a scarf
and my usual cowboy hat.

49
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:00,120
This is the outfit
that lets me slide in.

50
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Especially with my big camera, and me
is black. So I stick out.

51
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
When I say "president",
you say "Trump".

52
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,400
All the typical flags are there.
"Don't step on me",

53
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,800
and "Antisocialism"
and "Damn Joe Biden".

54
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:25,000
It is a figure dipped in tar
and rolled in feathers with a guillotine.

55
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,880
It is clear that almost everyone here
represents die-hard Trump people.

56
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,040
They have taken time off from work.

57
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,720
They have flown in from all over the country
to hear Trump speak.

58
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,280
I'm starting to squeeze through
the crowd and I receive smiles.

59
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,160
I can't
so many aggressive looks.

60
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,480
A woman walks through the crowd.
She doesn't even whisper.

61
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,040
She just says, “We're coming
to storm the Capitol after this.

62
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,040
We're going to storm the Capitol.
Get ready.”

63
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,440
As soon as Trump is done,
we storm the Capitol.

64
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Say it further.

65
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,360
We have power in numbers. We came here
to protect our republic.

66
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,000
We make it worth it.

67
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Marching against Congress,
right after Trump's speech.

68
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,120
And then Trump comes on.

69
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
the 45th President of the United States,

70
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,640
President Donald J. Trump!

71
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680
We are united
in the heart of our nation's capital

72
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:03,480
of a very basic and simple
reason, to save our democracy.

73
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,520
And to use a favorite term
as you all made up,

74
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,760
we want to stop the robbery.

75
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,280
I chose to come in early.

76
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,640
My job today

77
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
is to represent Michigan.

78
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,560
We have an organized effort that we
vet includes many Republicans

79
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,960
which will try to prevent
that the election is approved.

80
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,600
It is the source of our uneasiness.

81
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Everything Vice President Pence
need to do,

82
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,240
is to send it back to the states
to be re-approved,

83
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,640
and we will be president, and you
become the happiest people.

84
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:06,040
We had seen several reports that
the president tried to convince Pence

85
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,440
about deciding which votes
which should be counted and not counted.

86
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,160
And maybe to replace
one vote for another.

87
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680
So I woke up and
thought to myself:

88
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,040
“Will Pence make it the president
wants him to do,

89
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,840
or will Pence follow the law?"

90
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,640
After this we shall go down,
and I will be there with you.

91
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
We're going down to the Capitol.

92
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:40,280
We will cheer on our brave ones
senators and congressmen.

93
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,600
We probably won't be cheering
so much on some of them.

94
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
On the way to work I just think...

95
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Who knows how this will turn out
to end, but I know it's dark.

96
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,120
I have my gun with me.
As a member of Congress

97
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,640
can we be armed anywhere,
apart from the meeting hall itself.

98
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,920
I don't usually carry guns.
We have many police officers,

99
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720
but I have a different feeling
this day.

100
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Before I came,

101
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,560
No one had any idea where
corrupt our choices were. We fight.

102
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
We fight like mere beatings,
because otherwise,

103
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,840
you don't want a country anymore.

104
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,160
On the way over to the Capitol

105
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,440
I noticed that small groups
of protesters formed.

106
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,360
I also noticed something else.
There was a lack of security measures.

107
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,360
It was a big contrast

108
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,680
for the preparation the summer before.

109
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,640
When they got ready
to the Black Lives Matter protests.

110
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,200
That summer
there were fences everywhere.

111
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,320
It was riot gear
at each entrance to the building.

112
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,400
There were policemen everywhere.

113
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,880
I didn't see this.

114
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,760
I ask myself:
"Are we ready for this?"

115
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,680
Hang them all for treason!

116
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,120
The clock warns us that
the approval process will begin.

117
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,560
I head to the chamber.

118
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,240
The chamber is a remarkable room.

119
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,560
It has a main level
divided by an aisle.

120
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,200
When people talk about
to work across the aisle,

121
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
is it not only figurative,
but physically.

122
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560
It's a Republican
and a democratic side.

123
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,880
You sit on the side of your team.

124
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,320
I know where to go in. I'm going
in, and I go to the back right.

125
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Because that's where my team sits.

126
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,040
I know that today I will vote

127
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,720
on the approval of the electors
from the various states.

128
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,400
I made that clear to my constituents

129
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,960
that I shall protest against states
such as Arizona, Pennsylvania and others.

130
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,280
We knew there would be challenges,

131
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,440
so we prepared the delegates
from these states for that day.

132
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Madam Speaker,
the Vice President and the United States Senate.

133
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,080
When we entered the chamber,
I talked to Ted Cruz.

134
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,200
He will become that person

135
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,160
who will protest against the election
the count in the House of Representatives.

136
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,800
So I tell him
how dangerous I think it is.

137
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,000
That he and others
is about to do.

138
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,800
I was worried about how
the country would be divided going forward

139
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,360
when it came to legality
of Joe Biden's presidency.

140
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,760
We saw the senators come in, like
a Noah's Ark procession, two by two.

141
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,760
The process is very formal.

142
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
It has been
the same in the nation's history.

143
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,000
We receive a letter they hand out.

144
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,360
The writing is from
Vice President Mike Pence.

145
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Essentially, it is written

146
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,040
that he has no constitutional power
to do what he is asked to do.

147
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,000
To reject electoral votes
which comes in from the states.

148
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,000
Now I breathe a sigh of relief.

149
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Because this was our biggest
potential fears,

150
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,880
that he would play along in the plan.

151
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker, Members of Congress,
according to the constitution

152
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,400
and the laws of the United States,

153
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,520
meet the Senate and the House of Representatives
house to verify the certificates

154
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,200
and count the electoral votes
in several states

155
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,800
for President and Vice President of the United States.

156
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,120
It is quite clear
an important event.

157
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,440
It is clear that people have strong
views on both sides of the issue.

158
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,320
But it works relatively
normally for a while.

159
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,000
Mr. President, the meeting is set.

160
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,120
They go through submissions.
First, they look at Alabama.

161
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720
The Vice President asked
after objections.

162
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,520
There was none.
Then they crossed over to Alaska.

163
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
No objections to Alaska.
And then Arizona.

164
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Are there objections
towards counting the voting certificate

165
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,240
in Arizona as the counter has confirmed
to be correct in form and authentic?

166
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,320
I, Paul Gosar, stand up
on behalf of myself and 60 colleagues

167
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,840
to protest the count
of the Arizona ballots.

168
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,680
Is it in writing
and signed by a senator?

169
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,640
- Yes, that's it.
- That's it.

170
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,880
You just need
one person to protest,

171
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,160
but there are dozens of people
who rises on the Republican side.

172
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,400
Then the House of Representatives goes and
Senate to consider the objection.

173
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,680
The Senate resigns
back to his chamber.

174
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,640
I come to the front
of the west wing of the Capitol.

175
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,440
There are maybe 50 people there.
Trump is still speaking.

176
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240
So the majority of everyone else
is still...

177
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,480
The entire crowd is in the Ellipse
or at the Washington Monument.

178
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,160
I look north
and a large crowd

179
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,000
walking down the street.
They are very noisy.

180
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,960
-Whose streets?
-Our streets!

181
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,040
-Whose streets?
-Our streets!

182
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600
I saw immediately
that it was Proud Boys.

183
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,800
USA!

184
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,760
I could see a few
Capitol Police officers.

185
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,840
The crowd shouts at them.

186
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,440
Suddenly I hear screaming.

187
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
People shout, "Yes!" They cheer.

188
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000
I heard them shouting and shaking the fences.

189
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,200
I thought, "Here we go."

190
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,920
USA!

191
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,800
I don't think the police understood
how serious this group was.

192
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120
You saw that they were trying to stop them.

193
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,160
But there were five officers on the road.

194
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Back off, dammit!

195
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,040
Keep the line!

196
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,640
The whole crowd
felt that the moment had come.

197
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,480
Then they all jumped over the fence.
Everyone climbed over the fence.

198
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,880
We storm the Capitol, baby.
We'll take this shit.

199
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,840
They shout, “Fight for Trump.
He sent us here."

200
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,840
People run up the lawn
and up the walkway.

201
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,760
They go in all directions
to get to the Capitol.

202
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,600
USA!

203
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,440
USA!

204
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,400
- Damn traitors.
- Lift switches!

205
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:46,560
I arrive and take the row.
Right in front of me I see anger.

206
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Lots of angry, angry people.

207
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,760
They seem to believe
that I am part of the problem.

208
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,720
They say a lot of very vulgar things.

209
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,400
They said, “Fuck you.
Fuck the police."

210
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,520
They said, "Pick a side."

211
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,320
I don't know how many officers
we had in a row.

212
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,800
But it wasn't enough.

213
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:14,640
USA!

214
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,320
- Push me again!
-Fuck you, you liberal pig!

215
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,640
The crowd becomes more aggressive.

216
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,800
People try
to grab your helmet.

217
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,880
I have my police baton
and my weapon.

218
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,480
People try to reach for things.

219
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,880
At that point you might be yelling
a hundred times "back off!"

220
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,680
You push them against your chest.

221
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,640
They look at you wildly.

222
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,480
Then and there you try
to talk them to reason.

223
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,240
There are many of us!
We'll have to take it sooner or later.

224
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,800
-Hey, there!
-Don't push!

225
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Pull back.
Back off, please.

226
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,920
Back away.

227
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,120
I think we are safe now,
for they do not attack us.

228
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,520
But when will someone do something?

229
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,440
You have lost control!

230
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,200
USA!

231
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,520
USA!

232
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,080
The authorized representative must give an account
for the objection in the joint session.

233
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,600
Then the House of Representatives
comes back in session,

234
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760
shall I read the objection.

235
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,480
I read the objection from
Congressman Gosar and Senator Cruz.

236
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,840
And we begin the debate process.

237
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,480
Thank you, Madam Speaker.

238
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,120
It is an active debate.
One Republican stands up,

239
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,920
succeeded by a Democrat,
then a Republican and then a Democrat.

240
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,840
This is not a normal day for me.

241
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:16,880
The day before we had
buried my son Tommy,

242
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,920
which we had lost a week before.

243
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,480
Tommy had taken his own life
after struggling with depression.

244
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Jamie Raskin stood up
on behalf of the Democrats.

245
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,200
He received a standing ovation,
when it was just after

246
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
son's tragic passing.

247
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,520
It was a touching moment,
because it was bipartisan.

248
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Our youngest daughter Tabitha

249
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,200
had asked me not to go inside
on 6 January. I said I had to.

250
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,680
It was a constitutional duty.
I said, "Will you come with me?"

251
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,920
She said she would join.
And our son-in-law Hank,

252
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,400
who is married to our eldest
daughter Hannah also wanted to join.

253
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,360
We have seen
escalating attacks on the elections

254
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,400
with unsubstantiated claims
on fraud and corruption.

255
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,200
More than 60 lawsuits
trying to overturn the results.

256
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,920
They have failed repeatedly
and in spectacular fashion.

257
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,840
All objections we hear as
blackmails states and officials,

258
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,160
both Republicans and Democrats,
has been litigated about, settled

259
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,120
and canceled in both federal
and state courts.

260
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,240
My main theme is that the people
have spoken, the election is over.

261
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760
Biden won by over
seven million votes.

262
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,200
We are here to count the votes.
Let's do our job.

263
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,400
Gentlemen...

264
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,120
I get notifications on my mobile about
friends who send me videos

265
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,280
of the fence being removed
and officers being pushed.

266
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,840
While I stand there, decide
I me to go to the office.

267
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,920
I can always come back
and vote for what I have to vote for.

268
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,880
I can follow along from the office.

269
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,400
I got a feeling that everything I
had predicted, came true.

270
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,000
This would be violent.

271
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000
I'm going through
the hallways in the basement

272
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,160
to exit the Lower West
The Terrace Door and the Sound I Heard…

273
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,560
RAY
CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER

274
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,320
The roar was unreal.

275
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:37,600
When I looked down, it was crowded with people.

276
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,560
"What's going on out here?"

277
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,120
-Whose country is this?
-Our country!

278
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,720
-Whose house is this?
-Our house!

279
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,920
- Do you want the house back?
-Yes.

280
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Take it!

281
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,600
As time passed,

282
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,440
became the crowd down there
more and more rushed.

283
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,040
Then it happened.

284
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:11,920
Someone threw something,
and then it started.

285
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Go to hell!

286
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Let's take them, boys. Come on!

287
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,680
We arrive at
the insertion platform.

288
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:43,600
I see Capitol officers
who struggle with the masses.

289
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,520
I told the police inspectors:
“Get the officers lined up.

290
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Supplement with them
The Capitol officers that exist.

291
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,560
Let's keep the line."

292
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,360
Drag them over here.

293
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,680
I am surrounded by the crowd.
People beat the police.

294
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,920
The police beat people.
Photographers tried to take pictures.

295
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,360
It felt like a mini war zone.

296
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,920
The police begin
to push back with force.

297
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280
On the other side of the shields

298
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:25,880
do you have the Trump guys
which fights with beak and claws.

299
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,520
They hit and try
to grab a shield...

300
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,680
I remove injured police officers
away from the line.

301
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,320
I see blood
on the ground already

302
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,680
from one of my officers
who lost part of his fingers.

303
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,240
I see injured officers
who just sits there in shock.

304
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,480
I was attacked from behind, but…

305
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,520
As things escalate,
I realize quickly

306
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,480
that the original plan will not
function. I will need a lot of help.

307
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,280
10-33. I repeat, 10-33,
the west front of the Capitol!

308
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,200
I heard screaming and yelling.

309
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,480
I could smell the pepper spray.

310
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,160
I walked over to where Glover was.
I spoke to him briefly.

311
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,320
"Can you go down and fence it in?"

312
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,880
I went down and grabbed people

313
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,600
and placed them
up against the bike racks.

314
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,320
We used a strong pepper spray.

315
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200
We sprayed them
to push them back.

316
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Many sprayed us back.
They sprayed us with bear spray.

317
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:06,640
Bear spray is much, much worse
than things the police use.

318
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:12,080
If it can get a grizzly bear
to turn, it is destructive.

319
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Whatever you had planned, you will
not when you are sprayed with bear spray.

320
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,440
While all this is happening,
is it a first officer.

321
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,400
He comes up to me and gives
me a handgun, and he says:

322
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,520
“This one was lost
of that of those guys.

323
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,440
We don't know who."

324
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,560
I took the firearm.

325
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,800
I put it in my pocket
and went back to the fight.

326
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,440
People went more and more
from the concepts.

327
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,800
They were nourished by each other's energy.

328
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,840
"Fuck the police. Come on!"
Someone said, "Shoot them all!"

329
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,080
It is clear that
these people want to hurt someone.

330
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
You have people rooting for them.

331
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,000
“For America!
Look at these patriots. 1776!"

332
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Then you have people who are completely in shock.

333
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,480
It watches with wide eyes
and wondering:

334
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,480
"What's going on?
Should I be happy about this?"

335
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,560
When I got out of the police car,
before I came down the stairs

336
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,200
to the west front of the Capitol,
I started coughing and choking.

337
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,120
The chemical munitions
was so thick in the air.

338
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,520
Police Chief Glover
are on the front line.

339
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,480
It was obviously a fight
between our police officers,

340
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,800
The Capitol Police
who was on that line.

341
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,000
They fought.

342
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:51,240
I called the town mayor.
"This is bad."

343
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,680
The messages from the police
continues to flow.

344
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,000
Each and every one
is a bit more stressful.

345
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,320
The first one really
made me anxious, is it

346
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:31,520
who said that the limits
around the Capitol was exceeded.

347
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,040
I'm sitting there thinking, “Meaning
border the outer park?

348
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:38,880
Does that mean the building?

349
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
I don't quite know
what is meant by the limit.

350
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,320
I asked my colleague
Tom Malinowski from New Jersey

351
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,400
if he could see outside.

352
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,880
We went to the west wing
and looked out the window.

353
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,760
As we do, an officer bellows that
we have to get away from the window.

354
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,680
He roars:
"Get away from the window, now!"

355
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,760
We said, "Is everything all right?"

356
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,520
She said, “You are
in the Capitol, everything is fine."

357
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:10,440
We went back to the balcony.
I talked to several people and said:

358
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,680
“Yes, they are out there.

359
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,480
But this building is a fortress."

360
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,040
It can't just be
a handful of police officers

361
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:21,920
and glass windows
which can be crushed.

362
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,250
00:28:43.760 -- 00:28:48.640
We are just two French TV reporters
that comes with our equipment.

363
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Most often they think we are students.

364
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,800
We say: "We work for French TV.

365
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,520
Can we ask a question?"

366
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560
We decide
to walk on the east side of the Capitol.

367
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,520
It is a site we know well.

368
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,040
USA!

369
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:10,000
You better pick a side, gentlemen.
You will die, like the rest of them.

370
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
I see some people
which removes the blockages.

371
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,800
I think, "Something is going on."

372
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,880
I jump over the small wall.

373
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,760
I see people rushing
to the steps of the Capitol.

374
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,000
I'm talking to the editor-in-chief,
but when Sophie leaves,

375
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,360
I think: "I'll call you back."
I'll hang up on the editor-in-chief.

376
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,560
Something I never do.
And I start running with Sophie.

377
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,440
We film all the people
that pressures us.

378
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,680
Me and Laura
We are on the front line.

379
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,720
I'm talking to a guy
next to me.

380
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,600
-Are you trying to get in?
- We are trying to get in.

381
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,400
We are trying to get justice.

382
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,320
What are you going to do in there?

383
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,600
We're going to go in there
and shake up the Senate.

384
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,080
I have never seen anything like it.
Not just the barricade storming,

385
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,480
but the actual climbing on
The Capitol Building in the Pavilion.

386
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,440
They are not physically in the building,
but they stand

387
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,000
right next to the doors
to enter the building now.

388
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760
At 1:45 p.m

389
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,400
The population is getting bigger and bigger.

390
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,720
We use launchers
with distinctive impact

391
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,360
and crowd control weapons,
but it does not have the desired effect.

392
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,400
People are shocked
that they are fired upon.

393
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,840
This is not something they are used to.

394
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,360
They are used to seeing this on the news
when protesters are cornered.

395
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,600
People say, "Oh my God,
they're spraying us with tear gas!"

396
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840
I think:
“What the hell do you expect?

397
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,480
You should be glad they don't shoot
with live ammunition."

398
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:11,400
We want Trump!

399
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Many of us who stood up there,

400
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,720
which were considered "soft",
because we wore normal gear,

401
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,280
we decided to go down.

402
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,200
I get to ground level and I see.

403
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,920
Now that I see everything at ground level,
I freeze for a second.

404
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,960
It was a bare-knuckle fight
and whatever else you could find.

405
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,520
This is now a rebellion.

406
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,360
At 13.49 a riot was declared.

407
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,480
At that point
we had maybe 250 there.

408
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,480
We had lost around 40 officers

409
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,200
in about half an hour.
They were out of action.

410
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,600
If I keep losing
this number of officers

411
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,680
in such a short time,
will we run out of officers.

412
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Take him!

413
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,440
- There are a million of us.
- He has a hammer!

414
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160
We try to hold them back,
but they...

415
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,440
It's like trying to collect
a liter of water by hand.

416
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,000
They flock to,
and they cannot be stopped.

417
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:54,120
I look around and I see
people above me in the scaffolding.

418
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,520
I see people in the inauguration stands.

419
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,480
They have stormed the barricades.

420
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,360
Let Capitol know
that they are past the barriers.

421
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,240
They are behind our lines!

422
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,160
We were flanked, and we lost
height very quickly.

423
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,880
They have broken
through that police line.

424
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:33,280
I see hordes of protesters who
climbing the stairs in the west wing...

425
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,680
I got in touch
with the town's mayor

426
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,400
and with members of the National Guard
and the Ministry of Defence.

427
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,160
We had the boss
for the Capitol Police

428
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:47,440
who begged for additional resources
in the form of the National Guard,

429
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,840
to assist at the Capitol.
What I didn't hear was, “Yes!

430
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,320
We send them,
and we are sending them now."

431
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,920
There were concerns
about ground patrols.

432
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,880
There were concerns about
what this would look like.

433
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,680
I thought, “People attacking
The Capitol doesn't look too good to me."

434
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,880
I photograph clashes
between the police and the supporters.

435
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:25,640
It quickly becomes clear that
The Capitol Police retreated.

436
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,120
And suddenly it happened
the thing with the window.

437
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,240
Here is the opportunity.

438
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,240
They started breaking the window.

439
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,880
People got in.

440
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,640
One dude, two dudes, with American
flags and Trump paraphernalia

441
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:05,760
climbs into the window.
I say to myself:

442
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,280
"If they get in,
must I come in."

443
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,240
Because it's there
they make the approval.

444
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,560
That's where the politicians are.
That's the goal of it all.

445
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,080
Suddenly we are inside.

446
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,040
This is our house!

447
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,480
Fuck you!

448
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,880
It is unclear where we are,
but I follow this group.

449
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,320
They just run aimlessly
through the hallway.

450
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:44,000
I came in from there.

451
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,440
Senator from Oklahoma.

452
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,720
Mr President, in America decide
we disagreement through choice.

453
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,760
But what if you don't
rely on the election count,

454
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,040
or worry that
many courts dismissed cases

455
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,400
hours after they were given
thousands of pages of evidence?

456
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,760
I hear something alive going on
outside the Senate.

457
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,480
Suddenly the security service entered

458
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:25,240
and took with him
the vice president out of the room.

459
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:36,520
Everyone is silent and stunned, and
trying to figure out what's going on.

460
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,800
My challenge today is not acting
about the good people of Arizona...

461
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,040
There will be a break
until the speaker calls in again.

462
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,320
- We're taking a break. Thanks.
-Protesters are in the building.

463
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,560
A security officer
going up the stairs to the podium.

464
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,520
He asks us to sit down
at our places.

465
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,240
That protesters
has entered the building,

466
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,280
but that the Senate
is the safest place to be.

467
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,480
We should stay.

468
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:18,440
I hear a roll call above
the connection from Officer Goodman.

469
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,240
You can hear him running.

470
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,400
I hear him yelling frantically
about having to secure the Senate wing.

471
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,600
- You work for us!
- We're not going anywhere.

472
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,920
Where are the healthy votes counted?

473
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,680
When I see him back away,
I'm afraid of him.

474
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:04,120
Because there are 10-20 people there now,
and he is there all alone.

475
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,040
He kept asking them to stop
and withdraw.

476
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:16,760
I'm just waiting for them
will jump on him and grab him.

477
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,640
At one point he leads them away
from the door of the senate chamber.

478
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,280
And the senators are still in there.

479
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,000
The rebels have no idea where they are.

480
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:57,000
They actually ask the police officer:
"Where's Pence?"

481
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,280
I'm just so amazed

482
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,760
that they believed these police officers
suddenly should...

483
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,280
"Oh, yes, here. Come with us!
Pence is right over here!"

484
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,600
This is not what we want!
We are freaking mad!

485
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,200
- Back away!
- It is my house and my country!

486
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,960
What is the point
to stop us now?

487
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,800
This is no longer possible.

488
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,840
These police officers
talked to the rebels.

489
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,400
They talk to someone who is
half-naked with a buffalo head,

490
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,000
as if he is a reasonable person.

491
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:45,680
They tried to do their best
with only a dozen people,

492
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,240
to stop them
from entering that chamber.

493
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,240
Young employees
who were outside, were brought in.

494
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,600
People panicked.
It was an incredible fear.

495
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,480
These are employees who have now seen

496
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,280
these rebels
wander around the halls.

497
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,280
They have heard what they say.

498
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,760
Many of the employees

499
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,960
which now enters the senate chamber,
are very afraid.

500
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,120
Many are crying.

501
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:33,960
Very shortly after, the boss arrives
for the Capitol Police in.

502
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,880
He says, "Lock the doors."

503
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,880
He screams, "Lock the doors!"

504
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,440
We hear the protesters outside.
It's only a matter of time,

505
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,320
before anyone will be able to
get into the chamber.

506
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,960
I guess the president on
at some point will ask them to leave.

507
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:59,080
Or he wants to send out a message
which calms the situation down.

508
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,320
I look down at my phone.

509
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:07,120
I see a tweet from the president
who attacks Mike Pence.

510
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,440
I can hear the protesters,
the rebels,

511
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,400
outside the senate chamber.
They are trying to get in.

512
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,040
When I saw the tweet,
was the first time

513
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,400
I really felt that
maybe there was a chance that

514
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,480
we would not get out safely.

515
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,280
We are going to take back our country!

516
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:33,560
USA!

517
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,080
The police are trying to protect the door.

518
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,760
The protesters
trying to negotiate with them.

519
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:44,200
We supported you, you support us!

520
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,720
We supported you, you support us!

521
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,720
For the first time
I see policemen losing control.

522
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,680
They are pressed against the wall,
and they look very scared.

523
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,400
USA!

524
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,720
USA!

525
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,880
Let us in! Let us go...

526
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Every minute Laura and I watched
on each other.

527
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,680
“This is not happening.
They don't get in.

528
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,000
It is impossible.
It's the Capitol of the United States."

529
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,440
Pull them out!

530
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,960
Oath keepers!

531
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,760
We want Trump!

532
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,840
I don't know how,
but the door remained open.

533
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,760
We want Trump!

534
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,680
We stay in a way
moved in with Sophie.

535
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,400
-No. Wait.
- You have to move. Come on again.

536
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,160
Then I think I have to ask her:
"Are we going or not?"

537
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,440
I'll make sure it's okay
that we make this decision

538
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,440
about entering a federal building
which is stormed by protesters.

539
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:27,240
It is obvious. I answer
not even her. We just walk in.

540
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:35,880
Hang Mike Pence!

541
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:53,400
I opened my window, and I
can look down on all the chaos.

542
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,080
The view is blocked,
but I hear bangs and bangs.

543
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,720
Screaming and shouting.

544
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,840
One tweet reads:
“Congressman Adam, where are you?

545
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,880
Adam Kinzinger, where are you?
We're coming for you."

546
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,000
I log on to C-SPAN, and one
of the camera angles is Statuary Hall.

547
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,400
Suddenly I hear a commotion,
a kind of screaming.

548
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,960
I see a crowd
which enters the camera image.

549
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,480
They have stormed the Capitol building.

550
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,160
I've never been here.
What about you?

551
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:36,880
Now you own it, dammit!

552
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,880
That's right.
We own it! We own you!

553
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,080
What I think

554
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,560
is when the Capitol building is stormed,

555
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,600
you have access to all
parts of this complex.

556
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,600
I just don't know about it
is the Capitol that has been stormed.

557
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,680
I don't know if people wander around
in the hallways of my office building.

558
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,920
I have said out loud
that the election was not stolen.

559
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,440
So definitely a goal.

560
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,240
Where are the damned traitors?

561
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,920
-Pull them out by the hair.
-Yes.

562
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,840
-Where are the damned traitors?
-Who is first?

563
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:15,320
It is at this time
that the Capitol alarm goes off.

564
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,680
I listen to a very
panicked Capitol Policeman,

565
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,240
or who it was that spoke,
tell us to take shelter in the buildings.

566
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,400
I lock every door
into my office.

567
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,840
My firearm is lying
forward on the desk. I wrestle with

568
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,560
that I might actually
must use this weapon in self-defense.

569
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,680
Betrayal!

570
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,760
We enter the rotunda.

571
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,560
It's the first time
I discover the Capitol.

572
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,680
I have never been
inside this huge monument.

573
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:18,920
In the middle of this rotunda it is
hundreds of Trump supporters.

574
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,400
Thank you for letting us stand up
for our country and our faith.

575
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,720
Lead us, that we may do
your job. In Jesus' name, amen.

576
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,280
Amen!

577
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,320
They are so happy
and proud of himself.

578
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,880
Even if they know that they
has illegally stormed the Capitol.

579
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,400
We took over the Capitol.
Took over the Capitol.

580
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,280
We're in the Capitol, bro!

581
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
- Hello.
-Welcome to the story, brother.

582
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,880
Come on!

583
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,400
We follow protesters
into the old senate chamber.

584
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:01,320
There are a dozen policemen there,
but they are far more equipped.

585
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,600
This time led
to the senate chamber.

586
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,400
-Whose house?
-Our house!

587
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,360
-Whose house?
-Our house!

588
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,080
-Whose house?
-Our house!

589
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,800
-Whose house?
-Our house!

590
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,120
-Whose house?
- Ours!

591
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,120
The crowd pushed the police officers.

592
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,680
The police are trying to push us back.
They used pepper spray.

593
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,560
I cough a lot.
Sophie also struggles and coughs a lot.

594
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,720
It burned our eyes.

595
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,320
But I will bring it with me
what's going on in the capitol.

596
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,280
Laura looks at me and says:
"It's unbelievable."

597
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,200
It's unbelievable.

598
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,680
A Capitol Police officer

599
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,080
comes storming through
the doors on the first floor of the Senate.

600
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:06,160
He has blood on his face and says:
"Everyone out this door at once!"

601
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:09,800
"We're evacuating. Go!"

602
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,640
We don't know where we're going.
He just says, "Go!"

603
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:16,840
I look around at my colleagues.

604
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,400
Everyone has the same one
the feeling of panic.

605
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,440
I run over to Schumer
and grabs him by the lapels.

606
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,880
It is the easiest and fastest
the way to get him out of the seat

607
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,160
and make him run
in the desired direction.

608
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,240
I'll never forget that move.
He said: “We are in danger.

609
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,520
You must come with me.”

610
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,280
Because of Schumer's leadership position

611
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,200
he had to go to
somewhere different from everyone else.

612
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,560
We quickly walk through a hall.

613
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,840
There are two gentlemen
right next to the stairwell.

614
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,880
One was bald.

615
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,440
The other had long black hair
with a Punisher shirt.

616
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,520
We are doing a complete turnaround.
I grab the leader.

617
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,840
We run out the door at full speed.

618
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:06,520
I was 20 meters
from these rebels.

619
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,120
I heard from someone else

620
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,440
that someone pointed at me.
"There's the big Jew. Take him."

621
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,720
But we had made a plan.
So I ran to the elevator.

622
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,920
I pressed the button. We came
up there and burst out the door. Bang!

623
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,320
There is the car, running.
Here is our way out of here.

624
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,680
We've made it.
We drive to the safe place.

625
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,760
I ask my colleagues
to reject this objection

626
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,040
and respect the wish
to the voters of the state of Arizona.

627
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,480
The debate continues.

628
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,960
Then I noticed
things that changed in the house.

629
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,480
The officers were more nervous.
They moved.

630
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:53,920
Madam Speaker...

631
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,480
I stand on the podium.

632
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,080
The Republicans begin
to present his opposition.

633
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,720
They are angry.
So when the guard said to me:

634
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,480
'You have to go', I thought:
"I can handle this."

635
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,040
They said, “No, it can
you don't. You have to go."

636
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,280
They pulled me right off the podium.

637
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,120
It happened so quickly
that I didn't bring my mobile phone

638
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,760
or something,
to go to an unknown place.

639
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,320
They don't talk
about what is happening outside.

640
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,080
They just say, "You have to go."

641
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,120
I can't believe this is happening.

642
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,280
It is literally
like from a movie.

643
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,280
The security guards arrive.

644
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,480
They physically remove her
from behind the lectern.

645
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:42,560
Seeing her removed means
that we can no longer secure the chamber.

646
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,440
As we leave,
I'm not worried about myself.

647
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,120
But for my members.

648
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,240
But the security guards
has always told me:

649
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,080
"You do your job,
then we'll do our job."

650
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,240
And so they were prepared for
to protect the speaker of the house.

651
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:00,240
Then they told me

652
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,240
that Capitols
security had been breached.

653
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:12,520
Jim McGovern, Chairman of the Rules Committee,
then switches places with Pelosi.

654
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,960
He takes over the chairman's club,
something that should not happen.

655
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,320
It was clear that the moment
became more and more tense.

656
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,760
I get up and sit down
in the speaker's chair and leads the meeting.

657
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,640
Madam... Mr. Speaker,
can you call to order?

658
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,800
The meeting is set.

659
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:37,400
The meeting is set.

660
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,320
Representative Paul Gosar, from
Arizona argues over the mic

661
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,640
about why the choice
should not be approved.

662
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:50,600
And my colleague from Minnesota,
Dean Phillips,

663
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,640
which is one of the most good-natured
the people i have met in my life,

664
00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:57,720
stands up and straightens his finger

665
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,520
against the Republican members
in the assembly.

666
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,560
I scream at the top of my lungs
from the top of the balcony...

667
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,640
This is because of you!

668
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:09,760
"This is because of you!"

669
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,440
I felt that someone
of my colleagues bore responsibility

670
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,600
to incite the horde
which we are in the middle of.

671
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,600
Shut up.

672
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,400
My first reaction
is that it doesn't help now.

673
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,200
We have to keep people safe.

674
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,240
And find out how we should
get us out of this chamber.

675
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,120
And what should we do to make sure
that nothing worse happens?

676
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,920
Capitol Police have reported
that there is a threat inside.

677
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
There are hordes of protesters.

678
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,760
I don't know how many.

679
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,160
This is an incredible
dangerous situation

680
00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:43,640
which takes place here in the United States.

681
00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:48,360
My phone vibrates and I
receiving text messages from my daughter.

682
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:50,800
"Where are you?"

683
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,080
So I text back.
“I'm in the chamber.

684
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,240
I'm in the speaker's chair.
I'm leading the meeting."

685
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:03,200
“I know, but why
are you there?” And question marks.

686
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,800
"What are you talking about?"
"You should go."

687
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,240
And then I started to hear…

688
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,760
...something that sounded like shouting
outside the chamber.

689
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:26,200
It was an increasing horror
in the chamber at this time.

690
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:31,960
And then it escalates when the guards
comes in and removes the leadership.

691
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,840
Republican
and democratic leadership.

692
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,960
My security manager says:
"We must leave the chamber."

693
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,120
"Why do we have to leave the chamber?"

694
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:50,000
But I get up and go. He says:
"The Capitol has been stormed."

695
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,200
How can that be
that the Capitol might be stormed?

696
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,960
Dette er noe
I had never experienced.

697
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,800
I have been sitting
in the House of Representatives for 40 years.

698
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,080
The meeting is set!

699
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,880
The meeting is set.

700
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,360
McGovern chaired the meeting.

701
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:13,240
The arguments continue for a few minutes
to, but there will be more commotion.

702
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,680
Strange sounds
reverberates in the hallways

703
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,760
and into the chamber.

704
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,320
There is panic among
employees and among the members.

705
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,960
No one knows what is going to happen.

706
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,920
And nobody knows what's going on.

707
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:30,250
00:55:43.600 -- 00:55:45.920
I reach down into the crypt
with five officers.

708
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,320
We join at ten or twelve
attendants to which everything is down there.

709
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,920
Stop the robbery!

710
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,920
We formed a line
and chained his arms together.

711
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,400
We tried to create human link
to keep them out of the crypt.

712
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,000
I am told several times:
“We do this for you.

713
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,120
Support the blue.
We're taking back our country."

714
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,800
Last I checked, occupied
not the British Capitol.

715
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,800
So who are you taking
the building back from?

716
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,960
USA!

717
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:37,400
USA!

718
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,000
USA!

719
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,080
They put you in this position!

720
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,560
A fire extinguisher flies
through the air, as in slow motion.

721
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,760
It melts into
my right foot.

722
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,840
Just below the ankle.
I scream out in pain.

723
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,400
I grab my foot,
afraid that the ankle is broken.

724
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,600
Had it been a little higher,

725
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,120
would it hit
upper body or head.

726
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,440
I loaded my gun, and that
fires up the crowd even more.

727
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,200
They're screaming, "Are you going to shoot us?

728
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:29,280
Are you going to shoot your own citizens?"
It just makes me angry.

729
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:30,920
I don't want to shoot anyone.

730
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,920
A moment later
they break through the line.

731
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,200
They attack officers.

732
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,160
Pushes, kicks, punches,
and we start moving back.

733
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,760
And the crowd keeps coming.

734
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:11,160
We could only withdraw
back to three lattice doors.

735
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,160
Like a garage door
which separates the crypt

736
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,000
from the Capitol Visitor Center.

737
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,000
You're scared now, you asshole.

738
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:28,560
Stop the robbery!

739
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:35,800
Stop the robbery!

740
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,760
It smells like hell.
It's bad.

741
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,280
We lose control,
if not everything has happened.

742
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:07,920
Someone sent me
a picture of a protester,

743
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,920
a rebel who carries
a confederate flag,

744
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,080
not far from us, something like
is a very disturbing image.

745
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,360
I walk over to Liz Cheney,
who sits not far from me.

746
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,760
On the other side
of the aisle...

747
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:29,120
He says to me, “Liz, et
Confederate flags fly inside the Capitol."

748
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,760
“Looks like we got it
a new leadership." I'm joking.

749
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,920
She says, "Help,
what have they done?"

750
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,760
It was a combination
of shock and genuine anger.

751
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,400
How dare you think that you
may attack the chamber with violence

752
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,360
to stop
a constitutional process?

753
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:49,840
The Capitol guards told me:

754
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,800
"You must cancel this meeting now." That
is no longer safe for you here."

755
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,200
Without objections
declares the chairman pause

756
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,880
according to
paragraph 12b of rule one.

757
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:06,520
I'm thinking in my head, “They're coming
to try to secure the chamber."

758
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,280
It's the last thing going.

759
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,880
We will protect the chamber
by force and at any cost.

760
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,440
It corresponds to someone walking
over the White House fence.

761
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,160
It will be a use of force.

762
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,240
The congressman is calling me.

763
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,320
He has completely freaked out.

764
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,040
"How's Tabitha? And Hank?
What's going on? Is everything alright?"

765
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,600
I'm nervous. I am very nervous.

766
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,280
I try not to show
them that I'm nervous,

767
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:50,160
because Tabitha is very scared.

768
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,760
I have to barricade the door.

769
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,520
Tabitha says:
"I'm going under the desk."

770
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,400
And Hank says:
"I'll join you under the desk."

771
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,000
Do you want to fight?
Then you have a battle waiting for you!

772
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:15,360
Slowly starting
the sound getting louder and louder.

773
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:20,080
They are outside my door.
They shake the doorknob.

774
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,080
They scream and curse everywhere.

775
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:28,640
I want to curl up
and just cover my head.

776
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,640
But I think:
"I can't do that."

777
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:40,200
Then I get up and I go
through the room. I need weapons.

778
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,160
So I find a…

779
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:47,160
It is a bronze bust of a buck

780
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,240
having buckhorns,

781
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,200
antlers, and they are
very pointed and of bronze.

782
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,040
It's a heavy thing.

783
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,600
I decide that this
is what I will defend us with.

784
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,200
I was born and raised in
Philadelphia, and there came five.

785
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Where are the traitors?

786
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,880
- Come on, open that door.
-Break it!

787
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,720
Julie tells that
they have locked the doors.

788
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,880
They have pushed all the furniture
they can, up towards the doors.

789
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:25,800
And the kids are hiding
under the desk.

790
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,680
Tabitha and Hank hid
under the desk, and Julie guarded the door.

791
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,120
I said, "Guard them with your life."

792
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:45,000
The Capitol building has been stormed
and it will be shut down.

793
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,280
Both chambers,
The House of Representatives and the Senate.

794
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,600
The Capitol Police
moves out to the area,

795
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,760
where the people
has broken into the building.

796
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,280
We will give you
additional information,

797
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,560
when it becomes available to us.

798
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,000
The Capitol Police
begins to lock the doors.

799
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:09,360
These doors are
approximately 100-120 years old.

800
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,440
The locks are large,
and you hear a rattling sound.

801
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,160
They go around and lock
different doors.

802
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,920
One of the plainclothes officers
stood up and raised his hands,

803
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,680
and he said, "Stay where you are.

804
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,520
You are not leaving.
The Capitol has been stormed.

805
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:33,640
The Capitol has been stormed. If you
is near a chair, sit down.

806
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,560
If you want to lie down
on the ground, do it."

807
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,520
He explained that the back
of our seats were bulletproof,

808
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,120
and that we should take cover
behind the seats.

809
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,760
People have entered the rotunda,
and they come down here.

810
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:53,080
We will update you as soon as we can,
but be prepared. Keep calm.

811
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,320
I was a CIA officer,
and I think:

812
01:03:55,400 --> 01:04:02,400
"This is crazy. I'm prepared
on terrible attacks on buildings,

813
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,880
but it should be
an embassy.

814
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,720
It was supposed to be a building
I was in another country."

815
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,200
Those were the scenarios. It wasn't
meant to be the US Capitol.

816
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,760
The air became very tense
at that time. Very tense.

817
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:21,520
Although there was a lot of noise,
It was also strangely very quiet.

818
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,840
To me it reminded me of that
which occurs before a shootout.

819
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,640
Then there was an announcement

820
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:33,320
that we should all look under
the seats and find our gas masks.

821
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,400
Tear gas has been used in the rotunda.

822
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,680
Please note that it
are masks under the seats...

823
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:46,080
I actually didn't even know that
there were gas masks under our seats.

824
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,360
I'm thinking, “Gas masks?
What are you talking about?"

825
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,680
Please wear a mask,
put it in your lap

826
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:58,520
and be prepared to touch
the mask in case we have a storm.

827
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,240
It shook us all.

828
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,800
Suddenly we have these gas masks.

829
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,720
When you take them out of the packaging

830
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,520
and expands them,
they start automatically.

831
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:17,000
So you start hearing the metal bag
open up, all the cracking sounds.

832
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:23,320
Then you hear a continuous buzzing

833
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,880
and whistling sounds, like "eeee".

834
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:32,520
A mask in itself,
the sound is not particularly disturbing,

835
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,640
but when you suddenly
has over a hundred masks,

836
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:42,720
it sounds a bit like bad film music
in a moment of high tension.

837
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,520
Call Trump! Ask him to blow off
its revolutionary struggle!

838
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:52,840
Call Trump, he's your friend.
Ask him to do something.

839
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,360
People go from the concepts.
They are scared.

840
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,840
Some young employees start to cry.

841
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:03,040
The fear is coming
from not knowing what is happening.

842
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,240
At this point, if you
watching this on tv at home,

843
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,880
you know far more
than any member of Congress.

844
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:13,640
It's complete chaos
inside the Capitol building.

845
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:18,840
When these protesters stormed
the doors and entered the Capitol,

846
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,720
barricaded journalists
and legislate themselves

847
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,840
in different rooms and offices and
hiding places and locked the doors.

848
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,640
You hear the roar approaching the door.

849
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:40,120
It's clearly the mob's
total votes.

850
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:45,440
That's when I reached
an internal breaking point.

851
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,640
“Geez, I don't know what's on it
other side now of these doors,

852
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:55,560
if it is so bad that we no longer
can protect the chamber."

853
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,600
I texted my uncle the will
mine, to make sure

854
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:04,560
that my daughter would stay
taken care of the way I wanted.

855
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:11,120
I don't want my parents
must know the level of what is happening.

856
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,880
I didn't cry,
and I didn't break down.

857
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,880
But I prepared myself
on whatever was going to happen.

858
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:25,840
I just prayed for strength.
So... I just need a moment.

859
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,400
I heard a lot of banging
to my left.

860
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,560
I looked and they pushed in.

861
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,160
I heard a lot of commotion to my right,
and they pressed in.

862
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:17,600
It was at that point when everyone
crowded together and jumped at the same time.

863
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,520
Then the streak broke
on Lower West Terrace.

864
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,480
Push!

865
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:41,840
Push!

866
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,640
I had to make a choice.
We have to pull out again.

867
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:50,280
I turned around
against all the officers I could see.

868
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,440
"Come on. We've got to get up.
We have to get out of here."

869
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,680
Cruiser 50, the series has been dissolved!

870
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:04,320
All MPDs, stand back! Everyone
MPDs, pull up to the upper deck!

871
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,760
All MPDs, move
back to the upper deck. Now!

872
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,840
All MPDs, come back
to the upper deck! Upper Deck!

873
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:20,080
Police officers do not retreat,
so it was a difficult decision.

874
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:32,040
When we start going backwards, I think
I the crowd thought they won.

875
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,120
“Run away, you weaklings!
We got you!

876
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:39,160
Get away from here.
Go home. You guys lost."

877
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,320
I see my officers
and gives them orders over the connection.

878
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,840
"Use the stairs. Come on."

879
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,560
I wave them towards the stairs.
I say, "Go ahead."

880
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,440
I'm waiting for the last officer
which I can see and touch.

881
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,520
I grab him
and lifts him up

882
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,480
after the belt, to try
to get him up the stairs.

883
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,480
Just behind us comes
the crowd up the stairs behind us.

884
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,160
I am responsible
for the lives of hundreds of police officers.

885
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,440
I am responsible
to keep this crowd

886
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,560
out of the large building behind me.

887
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,280
I took some resources
which was originally assigned to me,

888
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:45,760
and Police Chief Kyle erupted
to take these officers in.

889
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:15,240
We get to the top of the stairs. There
is the door to what we call the tunnel.

890
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,080
It is usually a door
you will see during an initiation,

891
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:20,640
which the president uses.

892
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,280
It tends to be nice and clean.

893
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:28,280
This is America.
Here comes the president.

894
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:38,800
We stowed away in there
and closed and locked the doors.

895
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,080
I started working
for the Capitol Police.

896
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,720
I thought those doors were bulletproof
and bombproof and indestructible.

897
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:51,600
I thought, “We got it
finally a breather."

898
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:55,800
Thirty seconds later it was
a guy, I don't know what he used,

899
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,480
but he broke the glass
as easy as nothing.

900
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,040
Then he just unlocked.

901
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,840
And from then on, the battle was on.

902
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,520
Police Chief Kyle was the official
with the highest rank that was drawn in.

903
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,040
He took command and control.

904
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,240
He got them all
as organized as possible.

905
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,440
It is such a narrow passage.

906
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,840
I just believe it
is three meters wide.

907
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,800
From there we picked up the game.

908
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,440
The plan was very simple.

909
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,000
Stand up
and don't let the bad guys in.

910
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,200
Come on! Take it out.

911
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,920
They are as close as we are. About you
can see past them, you only see people.

912
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,040
People on top of people on top of people.

913
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,200
It was a fucking nightmare.
It was a nightmare.

914
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:03,440
Push!

915
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,200
I thought only us
was in danger of storming.

916
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,840
I thought this was all.
This was the Alamo.

917
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,760
This is the last stand. If they
comes in here, it's over.

918
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:20,320
USA!

919
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,720
Latest news from the east
in our nation's Capitol,

920
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,320
where there is complete chaos
right now.

921
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,760
Hundreds of the protesters
is on the Capitol steps.

922
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,160
Some have recovered
into the building...

923
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,680
We have seen video of them
who fights with the Capitol Police,

924
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,680
inside the capitol building,
and now we don't know exactly

925
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:48,840
what they wear or what they want.

926
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:05,040
AT 14.37

927
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,160
Is this the Senate?

928
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,600
Knock, knock. We are here.

929
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,400
How the hell are they?

930
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,800
Where are they?

931
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:28,120
While we're here, we might as well
establish a government.

932
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:32,120
Let's take a seat, folks!
Let's take a seat.

933
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,520
-Nancy Pelosi.
-Let's vote on something.

934
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,400
Where the hell is Nancy?

935
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:40,480
Cool stuff, man. Glad to see
you guys. You are goddamn patriots.

936
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,040
Ted Cruz's objection
against the Arizona votes.

937
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,760
- He was going to betray us.
- So?

938
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:51,400
"Objection to enumeration of
the Electoral Votes of Arizona."

939
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:53,960
-Can I take a picture?
-Wait. That's good.

940
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,720
He is on our side.

941
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:01,680
I'm sitting on this chair, because
Mike Pence is a fucking traitor.

942
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,320
Now that you've done that,
can you go out

943
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,440
-Yes, sir.
- I really appreciate that.

944
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,760
We love the police.

945
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,840
Justice is coming.

946
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,840
As you prepare,
I will pray.

947
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:31,120
Almighty God, we pray
that you give peace if you can...

948
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:38,400
The chaplain took the pulpit,
and she began to lead a prayer.

949
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:43,320
Almighty Father, deliver us.

950
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,520
I don't know if she said "deliver us".

951
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,200
But it sounded great
like that kind of prayer

952
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,560
one prays when a ship
is in danger of sinking.

953
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:58,240
Eric Swalwell looks at me and says:
"What is this, the last oil?"

954
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,880
And I think the same.
Why do we pray?

955
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,680
We must be ready for this.

956
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,000
We need to find weapons
for when they come here,

957
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,480
they will overpower us.
We have to be able to fight with something.

958
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,680
And there was nothing.
All I saw were pens.

959
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,360
And then I say to him:
"Get a pen and be ready."

960
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:21,960
As a former police officer

961
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:27,840
I look down for my weapons,

962
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:33,800
which I have borne
so long around life.

963
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,480
And there was nothing there.

964
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:41,680
I had no police baton and
no gun. There was nothing there.

965
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:46,760
What can I use as a weapon?
And I think about my keys.

966
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,560
My husband says:
“Channel your inner Texan.

967
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,080
Channel your inner self
Elizabeth Jennings."

968
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,400
It is a reference
to the series The Americans.

969
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:02,000
And I said, “The hair is already in one
ponytail. I have the pen in my hand.

970
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:06,360
I don't go down without putting
a pen down someone's throat."

971
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,160
This is how we cope with stress
situations, some gallows humor.

972
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,360
But he had to know
that I was in that state of mind.

973
01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:17,320
That would be fine with me.

974
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,160
AT 14.38

975
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,040
Finally another came
Capitol police officer in

976
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:32,520
with an M-16 in a sling. He said that
they have secured a way out for us.

977
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:37,800
They said everyone is being evacuated.
We have to move now.

978
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,240
The guards begin to move
all members from the meeting hall.

979
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,720
But it became more and more clear
that they had forgotten

980
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,640
that there were two dozen
members on the balcony.

981
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:01,560
And we up on the balcony
literally says:

982
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,200
“What about us?
We're still up here!"

983
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:10,720
USA!

984
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,480
We walked through the corridors,
and we came to a line of police.

985
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,800
There aren't many. I only see ten.

986
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,880
USA!

987
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,560
And the crowd stayed
only bigger behind me.

988
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,080
We want Trump!

989
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,000
There was a door at the end
of the corridor, straight ahead.

990
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:33,680
Just that fact
that the police stationed themselves there,

991
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,400
they didn't want protesters past,

992
01:18:36,480 --> 01:18:39,040
I thought this could
be one of the chambers.

993
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:40,520
You must withdraw.

994
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:44,360
This is not going to end well, guys!
It won't end well.

995
01:18:44,440 --> 01:18:47,920
I don't know how many there are,
but that's as far as I can see.

996
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,360
As soon as the pile stirs,
can't the police stop them.

997
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,280
It's underway.

998
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,040
It's underway. I said it. They go.

999
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,240
The mass flows on.

1000
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,080
They break down the door
and trying to get through the door.

1001
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,840
They kick and throw themselves at it.
Anything to break down the door.

1002
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,840
1776, baby! USA!

1003
01:19:24,440 --> 01:19:30,040
The doors began to shake violently
and people were pounding on the doors.

1004
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,440
"Let us in!"

1005
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,240
Open the door!

1006
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,640
It's the most terrifying sound I've ever heard
have heard. People who want to thunder

1007
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,400
enter the main door
to the US House of Representatives.

1008
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:49,120
Everyone rushes over to place
furniture against the door to secure it.

1009
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,960
But that's what all the officers say
that people must withdraw.

1010
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,080
They had drawn weapons.

1011
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,480
Stop the robbery!

1012
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:07,040
Stop the robbery!

1013
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,880
A congressman was with me,
Markwayne Mullin.

1014
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,880
Because of corona, you had
these little hand sanitizer bottles.

1015
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,360
They had a base made of wood.

1016
01:20:16,440 --> 01:20:22,400
I look at him and he is struggling
detach the hand sanitizer bottle from the base.

1017
01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:26,560
I said, "What are you going to do with it?"
He said, "It is my weapon."

1018
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,800
I noticed one more
on the other side of the aisle.

1019
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,880
I got it detached from the base.

1020
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:38,680
Get away!
Get away from the door!

1021
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:43,240
In the meeting room, approximately 80 to 90% have
of the members left

1022
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,680
or standing in line to leave.

1023
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,040
There were a couple of congressmen
as well as the Capitol Police

1024
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,640
who barricaded the door.

1025
01:20:54,720 --> 01:21:01,240
As I stand there,
the glass just started shattering.

1026
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:08,080
They broke the glass.

1027
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:15,520
And the sound of the glass, and the power
in the glass that came in...

1028
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,080
Very violent.
Very, very violent.

1029
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,480
- Break it down!
-Hold down.

1030
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:33,200
Just stay down.

1031
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,440
Break it down!

1032
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,680
A Republican member
leans over and looks and says:

1033
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,440
“I can talk to them.
I am one of them."

1034
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,200
I look at him, “You're crazy.
These people are…

1035
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:01,000
They are crazy. They attack us. They
don't care if you're a republican.

1036
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,880
They only care that you are in
Congress. We are in, and they are not.

1037
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,440
One young man sees
through the glass.

1038
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,360
He said, “You're from Texas!
You should be with us!"

1039
01:22:14,440 --> 01:22:18,640
I said, "Oh no, sir. I can't
support what you do.

1040
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,320
We are here today,
we do business.

1041
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:26,000
This is a sacred place.
This place here,

1042
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,520
this is the House of Representatives.

1043
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,920
You are disturbing
what we are trying to do.

1044
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:35,200
What you do
is un-American and you need to stop.

1045
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,520
You must stop
to do this right now.

1046
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:43,960
For the people on the left and right
for me have their weapons drawn.

1047
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:48,560
Because if you don't,
they can shoot and kill you.

1048
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:49,800
They can shoot you."

1049
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,600
It was a pretty intense situation.

1050
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:58,480
Had they entered those doors,
Weapons were drawn.

1051
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,360
It could have ended
in a bloodbath right there.

1052
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,040
They tried, but they
didn't get in.

1053
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,400
Then part of the crowd erupted
from the group and went downstairs once.

1054
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,520
I sat in the speaker's chair.
I feel like the captain of the Titanic.

1055
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:36,840
In one way or another
should I stay there until everyone leaves.

1056
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,320
I don't know if it's written down,
but I felt it.

1057
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,760
A couple told me:
"You should go now."

1058
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,320
Then I went out, and I turn around.

1059
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:51,880
I see three police officers
outside the doors,

1060
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,320
and the big, angry mob.

1061
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:56,640
I have a knife.

1062
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,440
- They're leaving.
- They're leaving.

1063
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,760
They're leaving!

1064
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,800
They leave.

1065
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,200
They were 50 meters away from the members.

1066
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,520
If they break through,
Are we in bad shape?

1067
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:18,160
This is not a bunch of protesters
which distributes flyers.

1068
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,320
Police had drawn guns.

1069
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,440
They continued to beat
his bare fists against the glass.

1070
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,680
At some point the glass cracks.

1071
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:34,720
I look into their faces
who bangs his fists on the glass.

1072
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:40,160
If you had asked me
what hate looks like

1073
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:43,040
then it looks like this.

1074
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,800
We completed the evacuation
of all the members in the hall.

1075
01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,400
And here we are. We just sit here.

1076
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:04,960
The Capitol is being evacuated,
and we have nowhere to go.

1077
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:11,320
We can hear the people in the hallway
behind us. Can't go that way.

1078
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,560
We can't get down into the hall.

1079
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,080
Then we are stuck. We are trapped.

1080
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:20,120
Break it down.

1081
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,200
We don't want to hurt you,
we just want to go inside.

1082
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,880
I saw a lot.
The situation seems deadlocked.

1083
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:32,200
They are stuck in a corridor and trying
to get past this police line.

1084
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,000
There was a lot of shouting, a lot of noise.

1085
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,120
What the hell?

1086
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,800
I don't know why,
but the police move to the side.

1087
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:47,360
Come on again. Break this shit down.

1088
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,000
Break it down.

1089
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:55,080
Come on, dammit!

1090
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:03,160
I get up there and that's it
several officers with guns drawn

1091
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,040
and aimed at the doors on
opposite side of the lobby.

1092
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,880
- It's a firearm!
- He has a firearm!

1093
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:20,000
I look in time to see a shot
fired by one of our officers.

1094
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,960
It sounded like a gunshot.

1095
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,280
I don't know what he's shooting at.
I assume more threats.

1096
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,640
I yell, "What have we got?"

1097
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:33,360
Someone says, “One shot has been fired.
Someone's down on the other side."

1098
01:26:33,440 --> 01:26:38,840
Back off!

1099
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:46,920
Then I hear people shouting, “They shot
her, fuck me. She's dying."

1100
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:52,440
-You did it! She's dead!
- You shot her!

1101
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,640
I pushed my way into the room.

1102
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,680
I looked down and there it is
a woman lying on the floor.

1103
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,800
Blood comes out of her mouth.

1104
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,040
She looks extremely ill-dressed.

1105
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,760
She is surrounded by police
who tries to save her.

1106
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,400
When you start using deadly force,

1107
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:22,560
the situation has escalated
to a completely different level.

1108
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:26,440
Back off!
She's going to die, dammit!

1109
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,440
You see that the police still
is afraid of the crowd.

1110
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:31,240
They focus on her.

1111
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,320
They are trying to save
this lady's life.

1112
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:39,800
But they follow the crowd. They can
turn against the police at any time.

1113
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,840
They tell them to back off
and give them space.

1114
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:44,960
- She needs help!
- Back away!

1115
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,800
We can't save her.
Back off!

1116
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:51,360
We can't save her
if you are standing here. Pull back!

1117
01:27:52,440 --> 01:27:54,120
Make a hole, everybody.

1118
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:59,200
Space is made for her
can be carried through this corridor,

1119
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,040
they just carried her down the stairs.

1120
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:06,800
Everyone was shocked and upset
that it had gone so far.

1121
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,280
What the hell?

1122
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:14,880
A shot is fired.

1123
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:22,040
I guess so
will be more of this.

1124
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:27,200
So at this point I'm scared.

1125
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,520
I'm just shaking.

1126
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,680
Stay down, everyone!

1127
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,120
-Remove the needles.
- Off with the needles.

1128
01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:40,360
Some members recommend
that we take off our needles.

1129
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,040
These are the needles that identify us
as members of Congress.

1130
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,840
If they got in through the doors,
and come after us,

1131
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,000
we would be easily recognized
because of the needle.

1132
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,280
I removed my needle,
and several others did.

1133
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,240
I called my wife.

1134
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:02,840
That was the hardest part
the moment of it all.

1135
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,960
As soon as I hear her voice,

1136
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,400
I can hardly speak.

1137
01:29:08,480 --> 01:29:14,560
That's because right now
occurs to me

1138
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:19,000
that I have that phone call.

1139
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,120
That phone call
which everyone knows about.

1140
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:26,840
The phone call
from the 80th floor of the building.

1141
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:31,400
The phone call from the plane
while it's going down. I don't know.

1142
01:29:31,480 --> 01:29:34,960
In my mind I wish
to convert

1143
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,560
to what I would call ranger mode,
or battle mode.

1144
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:43,920
I called my wife and just said:
“The Capitol has been stormed.

1145
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,280
We are surrounded.
There is no way out."

1146
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:52,520
She said to me:
“Listen, don't try to be a hero.

1147
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:55,720
You have a family now."

1148
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,760
While I hear everyone
talk to loved ones,

1149
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:04,040
I go through a mental battle about

1150
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:08,120
i should call my kids
so they can hear my voice?

1151
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:14,680
So I can hear their voices?
Or not, because I don't want to disturb them?

1152
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:20,240
I decide that I
need to talk to my kids.

1153
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,760
My aim was not to upset them.

1154
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,760
More than anything, I didn't want to
that they would be upset.

1155
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:37,120
So I said, “I'm fine.
I'll be fine."

1156
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:43,480
My son replies, “What do you mean
you that it will go well?"

1157
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,880
We can hear gunshots,
and we can hear glass breaking."

1158
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:53,600
It was only then that I realized

1159
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,920
that they could perceive
what happened.

1160
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:00,800
Right after that
I thought I was...

1161
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,520
Right after I hung up, I thought
that I had a heart attack.

1162
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:16,680
It felt like the chest was coming out
of the body and pounded very hard.

1163
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,400
But I understood
not that people around me…

1164
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,440
...could tell I was upset.

1165
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:36,000
I thought I held it in. So
I feel someone take my hand.

1166
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:48,000
I look behind me,
and it was Jason Crow.

1167
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:52,720
He strokes my hand and says:
"You will be fine."

1168
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:59,440
I don't know if I thought so,
but that was what needed to be said.

1169
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,920
We exit the elevator
with guns drawn.

1170
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:15,320
We walk down the hall
to where the entrance to the balcony is.

1171
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:20,680
There are only people in the hall.

1172
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,000
There are only three of us.

1173
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,760
I thought, "Gee,
this is going to be bad.”

1174
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:31,880
We called out to them.
"Lie down on the ground now."

1175
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:36,160
They lay down,
and one of the guys shouted:

1176
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:38,920
“Don't shoot.
I have two knives on me."

1177
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,920
I start to check on him.

1178
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,640
Quite right,
he had pocket knives on him.

1179
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:50,120
They were pocket knives, but the blades
were long enough to cause damage.

1180
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:55,400
And he was wearing a strip.

1181
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,760
Someone starts
to knock on the door behind us.

1182
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:14,680
An officer goes to answer the door.

1183
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:18,720
We say:
"Wait, you don't know who that is."

1184
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:23,720
The officers clarified
their firearms.

1185
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:26,800
That tells me
that they don't know if it's...

1186
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,920
If there are rebels
or the rescue team.

1187
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,440
Had I bad intentions,
I had knocked on the door.

1188
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:37,360
If I would be let in,
I had said: "Police."

1189
01:33:37,440 --> 01:33:40,440
"Don't open it!
How do you know it's the police?"

1190
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,640
I think to myself, “Seriously?

1191
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:48,680
Don't you have
some kind of special code?"

1192
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:53,800
You know... Something like that.

1193
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,320
So you know it's a police officer.

1194
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,880
Do not open the door.
You don't know who it is.

1195
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:03,480
One of the officers,
with weapon raised, unlocks the door,

1196
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:07,800
and opens it on clamp and confirms
that it is the rescue team.

1197
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:13,240
-The door opens...
-They tell us: "Go."

1198
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:24,840
When we come out into the hall,
I can see to my right

1199
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:29,000
officers with guns drawn.

1200
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:34,960
Part of the mob lies on the floor
face down and held back.

1201
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:39,040
At 14.53

1202
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:50,640
Get back in the hallway!
Stop standing up! Pull back!

1203
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:56,640
Let's not forget what the president
said a couple of hours ago at the rally.

1204
01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:00,680
He said to all his followers
who had gathered:

1205
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:06,040
“You will never take back our country
with weakness. You must be strong."

1206
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,240
He urged them
to march on the US Capitol.

1207
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,840
This is exactly what has been done.
But not only marched, they are inside

1208
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,880
and they threaten many
people right now.

1209
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,920
-Whose house?
-Our house!

1210
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:23,200
The storm is here.

1211
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,240
The storm is here.

1212
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,160
Back off!
Stop, come back!

1213
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:54,120
I couldn't figure out the connection
because of the traffic, so I called.

1214
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,160
"I need people,
otherwise we lose this."

1215
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:00,480
He said, "You must persevere.
We don't have any right now."

1216
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,360
I couldn't believe it.

1217
01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:06,360
They don't understand
that we have 30 people here

1218
01:36:06,440 --> 01:36:10,960
who fight against thousands. I put
on. "We have to hold the redoubt a little longer.

1219
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:13,880
The cavalry is coming."
I had to lie to them.

1220
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:16,600
They should not feel
feel as defeated as I am.

1221
01:36:21,440 --> 01:36:25,640
I slowly go inside. I
trying not to be noticed.

1222
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,560
One flowed with the crowd,
whether you liked it or not.

1223
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:31,960
It was so packed
that you just had to go with the flow.

1224
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:36,280
That when they started saying: "Hiv ohoi!"

1225
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:41,000
Whoa whoa!

1226
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:45,400
Whoa whoa!

1227
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:53,440
There's an officer there
with his gas mask.

1228
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:55,320
The guy grabs his mask.

1229
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:59,160
He tries to tear him off
the mask to see his face.

1230
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,120
He says:
“Tell me your name, you bastard!

1231
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,280
Tell me your name, you bastard!

1232
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:19,920
You hear the officer shout back:

1233
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,400
"Stop! What the hell are you doing?
Stop it!

1234
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:24,720
Help!

1235
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:38,680
He was crushed and injured.

1236
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,920
You could see blood
from his mouth.

1237
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,800
I think they pulled him
away after that.

1238
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:59,480
Get him in the back.
Let's get some fresh faces up front!

1239
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:04,000
Then the crowd continues
to attack them to get inside.

1240
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,240
My police inspector
came over and said:

1241
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,520
“We have to find the entrance
to the West Terrace.

1242
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:26,520
We have to go down there.
Chief Kyle is down there."

1243
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,480
I collect
about 20 of my squad.

1244
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,560
We go through...
That building is a maze.

1245
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:38,600
We go down, and in this hallway
are there MPD officers,

1246
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:42,840
Capitol police officers, who look
like they've just been beaten up.

1247
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,840
They look completely exhausted.

1248
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:50,840
It looks like the finish line of a race
none of us have trained for.

1249
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,480
I look around at my officers.
Most of them are children.

1250
01:38:54,560 --> 01:39:00,120
They are 21 to 25. I say:
"Go give them support."

1251
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:03,280
So instead of 20
people in the hall, there are 40.

1252
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:08,280
They were troweled into a hole.

1253
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,280
It wasn't enough.

1254
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:22,560
I got to the door.

1255
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,560
It is elevated,
so you can stand out in the crowd.

1256
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,280
There are still thousands
of people.

1257
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:35,120
Snarling, angry people
who call you names.

1258
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:40,480
Pull the police out!

1259
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:45,880
"Shit and go, pigs! Get out of here, then
we must not hurt you. We'll kill you.

1260
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:48,400
"They give you niggas some power..."

1261
01:39:48,480 --> 01:39:51,360
I just:
"Did he just call me a nigger?"

1262
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:57,680
"Me?" Part of me thinks:
"That's rude."

1263
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,880
And another part of me
thinking, "Say that again."

1264
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:15,680
I tried to let people recover, but
despite the damage, you had to go back in.

1265
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:19,040
I ran away
to our injured officers

1266
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:24,560
and lifted them up and threw them
them back in the fight.

1267
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,640
I said, “I know you're hurt.

1268
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,280
But you have to get back in the game."

1269
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:32,400
Throwing them back
in this meat grinder.

1270
01:40:32,480 --> 01:40:36,840
It was a very difficult thing
to do emotionally.

1271
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:39,250
01:40:43.160 -- 01:40:45.120
We arrive
the unknown place.

1272
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,440
We all arrive
about the same time.

1273
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,200
Then we watch on the big screen

1274
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,960
what actually
happening outside the Capitol.

1275
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:58,800
How violent it was,
and how angry the mob was,

1276
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:03,120
and the actions
to which the Capitol Police were subjected.

1277
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:05,600
And everyone who stood between them

1278
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,160
and their goals
about entering the Capitol.

1279
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:12,280
Schumer and I will come up with one
public statement to the President,

1280
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,480
for that is all he notices.

1281
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:21,000
But it failed. We managed
not to persuade him to do anything.

1282
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:26,000
The management was there, from democratic and
republican side. The entire Congress.

1283
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:30,120
We now operate a number of
actions on the phones.

1284
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:35,040
Chuck and I were on the phones
to the Governors of Virginia,

1285
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:39,120
Stony with Maryland. We ask, “Is
your national guard ready to come?"

1286
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:45,160
I said, "Larry,
The Capitol is under siege.

1287
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:49,200
We must deploy
Maryland Guard."

1288
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:53,920
His answer was:
"Yes, we are willing to do that."

1289
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:57,800
However, he said he had
contacted the Ministry of Defence

1290
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:01,360
and could not
get authorization to do so.

1291
01:42:01,440 --> 01:42:04,160
We must stop the violence.

1292
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,960
It would just happen
with the National Guard.

1293
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:11,920
We also spoke to the Minister of Defence
and said, “You have to deploy troops

1294
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,120
immediately."

1295
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:20,040
We couldn't hear
that there was urgency in his reply.

1296
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,440
He said: “We see this.
We are thinking about it.

1297
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:27,040
We try to get it and yes,
we understand the problem.

1298
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,360
But not: "It shall be done."

1299
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,120
We're coming to get you, Nancy!

1300
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:40,240
We are here for the traitors!

1301
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:43,160
AT 3.30 p.m

1302
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:48,480
I know that our recordings
will become one of the most important ways

1303
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:50,960
people know what's going on in the building.

1304
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,320
Whatever happens,
I must continue working.

1305
01:42:55,600 --> 01:43:01,600
I'm meeting a colleague of mine, Jim,
and we see that some of the protesters

1306
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,360
goes in and out
of Nancy Pelosi's office.

1307
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:07,320
Pelosi's office!

1308
01:43:08,440 --> 01:43:09,760
Is she in there?

1309
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,440
- Healthy!
-Oh, look at her emails.

1310
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:23,600
This is usually
part of the Capitol

1311
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:25,640
which cannot be looked into,

1312
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,760
without a policeman shouting

1313
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:29,200
that you should be gone.

1314
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,680
You scared little Democrat bastard.

1315
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,840
I think I like
my new dining table.

1316
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:38,240
Much of the office was all vandalized.

1317
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,800
There are people messing around
and looking for souvenirs.

1318
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:45,400
Pelosi is a sports fan. She has
memorabilia throughout the office.

1319
01:43:45,480 --> 01:43:49,960
A person walks up to me,
takes a baseball from the shelf and asks

1320
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:51,720
"Is it okay if I take it?"

1321
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:56,560
Then a guy comes in
with an American flag,

1322
01:43:56,640 --> 01:44:01,320
and with something that looks like
like a giant stud in the belt.

1323
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,880
It's actually an electroshock weapon.

1324
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,720
He places the flag
carefully down on a table.

1325
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:11,960
He sits down at a desk
with the legs on the table.

1326
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:15,840
He looks in the drawers
and looks at the computer screen.

1327
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:21,160
He holds up a card
with Nancy Pelosi's signature,

1328
01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:23,680
so he can take pictures of it,
as a proof.

1329
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:26,560
“This is Nancy Pelosi's office.
I'm here."

1330
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:30,800
At this point Jim realizes and
I think that in a way we have had enough.

1331
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,240
We have to find a place where we are safe.

1332
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:56,040
We are finally out. We are being evacuated.

1333
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,760
We were stuck
on the balcony level,

1334
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:04,840
then the protesters
stormed into the chamber.

1335
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:07,280
Many members are all out.

1336
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,960
But now we finally get out.
So we evacuate.

1337
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:20,680
When we get to the shelter,
a very large room.

1338
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:25,040
There are probably more than a hundred
congressmen in there.

1339
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:30,040
It's the first time
many of us can breathe a sigh of relief.

1340
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:34,440
We are the last to get there,
and it's chaos.

1341
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:40,000
No one knows what we are doing or where
long will we be there.

1342
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:41,920
No one knows what lies ahead.

1343
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:47,080
I'm not trying to get political here,
but i appreciate you.

1344
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:48,680
She is a nice lady.

1345
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:55,600
This is January 2021, so corona
is still very much a problem.

1346
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,240
There are a lot of people without masks.

1347
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:03,080
It also helped
a layer of anxiety for everyone.

1348
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:11,040
We evacuate,
we get people there and now we are in…

1349
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:15,800
I called it the corona punch bowl,
as a humorous feature.

1350
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:20,600
Because it was just:
"Oh, and we're in a pandemic."

1351
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:25,720
What is difficult to understand there
and then, is that this is not over yet.

1352
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:30,120
I'm out, but the Capitol isn't
sure, so we're in that room.

1353
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:37,440
At first I thought, "Okay. It's over."
It's not over at all.

1354
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:41,640
It wasn't a storming. That
was a siege. We were run over.

1355
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:46,920
Hundreds and hundreds of people
flowed in. It was astonishing,

1356
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:50,800
and terrifying, because I am
very worried about Tabitha and Hank.

1357
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:04,840
Slowly the sound is lowered.

1358
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:12,840
The volume is turned down and I said to Tabitha
and Hank: "You guys can come out now."

1359
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:19,920
We just stare at each other,
and there are no words.

1360
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,200
Then there is a knock on the door.

1361
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,600
It's the police.
"We will help you."

1362
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:31,920
It was at that moment
I felt that I had survived.

1363
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:36,600
I get an SMS that the police
have them. They are on their way.

1364
01:47:37,480 --> 01:47:40,400
It is a painful period of time,

1365
01:47:40,480 --> 01:47:44,920
because I know they now
is outside that room.

1366
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,840
I don't know about the whole
the route is safe.

1367
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:52,600
But it was probably about 10 or so
12 minutes later they arrived.

1368
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:59,080
We go to the back room,
and Jamie sees them.

1369
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:06,040
They gather in a group hug,
and there are tears and crying.

1370
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:10,840
They almost shake.

1371
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:14,240
He found his children.

1372
01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:18,840
It is difficult
to describe that feeling,

1373
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,000
but it was just overwhelming.

1374
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:24,520
I just hugged Tabitha and Hank.

1375
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:29,400
I don't even work in the Capitol.
I work in another building.

1376
01:48:29,480 --> 01:48:32,840
I wasn't supposed to be there
not only me

1377
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,400
but his children
shouldn't have been there.

1378
01:48:35,480 --> 01:48:41,760
We ended up 50 meters
from the meeting hall on the day of the riot.

1379
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,840
And the congressman
said something like:

1380
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:48,040
“Not a good day
to take your child to work."

1381
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:57,120
-Whose house?
- Ours!

1382
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:58,920
-Whose house?
- Ours!

1383
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,520
-Whose house?
- Ours!

1384
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:05,080
Treason!

1385
01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:11,560
The area outside the rotunda
is just filled with people.

1386
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:19,240
A guy approaches and says:
"We do this for your people."

1387
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:23,480
He said, “Black people should
be up here with us."

1388
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:26,200
And I said to him:

1389
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:31,160
“As long as it has been
African Americans in this country,

1390
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:33,240
have we been deprived of the right to vote,

1391
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:37,080
we have been enslaved
and robbed us of our rights.

1392
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:44,920
In all this we have never had
it in our minds to come up here

1393
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,800
and do something so ridiculous
and so privileged,

1394
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:52,920
and so un-american
like what you are doing right now.

1395
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:57,600
So I said, “Don't look at me
and say you're doing this for me."

1396
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:02,400
I said, "I served my country
honorable and continuous."

1397
01:50:02,480 --> 01:50:05,800
I said, "What you do,
is not in the service of your country.

1398
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:11,120
“You are a traitor. Don't believe anything
other while standing in this building."

1399
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:12,880
-Whose house?
-Our house!

1400
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:14,480
-Whose house!
- Ours!

1401
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:16,080
-Whose house?
- Ours!

1402
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:17,600
-Whose house?
- Ours!

1403
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:20,480
-Whose house?
-Our house!

1404
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:25,160
In the rotunda we see a guy massing,
and I want to interview him.

1405
01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:32,440
Excuse me, what are you trying to do?
What are you trying to do?

1406
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,800
Give a beating and take a name, lady.

1407
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,840
I ask him
if he tries to disturb,

1408
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:39,440
and before i finish asking..

1409
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:42,280
We are not here to hurt anyone.

1410
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:46,000
We're just here to say that
is a million of us or more

1411
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:49,240
out there who want to enter
in this building if necessary.

1412
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,040
When I tried to challenge him

1413
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:55,760
about what Donald Trump might be thinking
about what's going on in the Capitol?

1414
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:59,960
He can't answer me,
because he points me in a direction...

1415
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:04,040
There are the police.
Watch out, here come the police.

1416
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:09,440
We realize that it is
police officers throughout the rotunda.

1417
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:19,480
I am so furious. The one
overwhelming emotion is anger,

1418
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:24,560
for the Capitol is our responsibility.

1419
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:25,960
It is sacred to us.

1420
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,560
They had to pass many of our people.
So I'm angry.

1421
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:33,440
I say something like:
"Are you mad?

1422
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:37,720
Because I am. It's about time
to take back the Capitol."

1423
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:43,560
- We stand with you.
- No, now you're in the way.

1424
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:49,480
No, you're in the way!
Capitol Police, let's go!

1425
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:59,320
246 stitches in my head
in Iraq, asshole!

1426
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:04,480
We have a group from Metropolitan-
the police in full riot gear

1427
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:08,800
I am so happy to see them, for them
looks all 40 cm taller than me.

1428
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:12,200
They acted like it
was their building. It was great.

1429
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:34,360
The protesters don't move.
We stand against the wall. The police are coming.

1430
01:52:34,440 --> 01:52:38,200
They push more aggressively than
before. They take back control.

1431
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:42,440
They have clubs and try to push
back Trump supporters,

1432
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,640
so they can believe
that we are with them.

1433
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:49,000
We will be caught in the bridal shower.

1434
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:53,840
Wait a minute.
We are going to be beaten! Oh, damn.

1435
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:01,280
That an MPD officer
next to me.

1436
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:06,400
Someone take his police baton
and goes back and forth with it.

1437
01:53:06,480 --> 01:53:08,560
They get it taken away from him.

1438
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:11,000
It flies backwards into the crowd.

1439
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:14,720
He looks at me:
"I lost my club!"

1440
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:17,880
I said, “You have continued
Starsky and Hutch. Come on!"

1441
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:33,400
People are crowded together.
We are squeezed. Laura is completely crushed.

1442
01:53:33,480 --> 01:53:37,680
We tried to stick together
and to get through this.

1443
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:40,800
But at some point,
because the police push,

1444
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:43,720
the protesters are moving,
and we with them.

1445
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:48,560
So Laura goes before me,
and she leads me towards the exit.

1446
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,560
Let's get out.

1447
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:08,720
Currently the Capitol
still occupied by protesters.

1448
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:13,000
NBC News reports
reports that Capitol Hill police

1449
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:19,120
and DC Metro police cooperated
about emptying the interior of the building.

1450
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:22,880
Whether they have succeeded,
is unclear to us at the moment.

1451
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:27,200
Amazingly,
and without explanation throughout,

1452
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:31,440
has the president of the United States
did not make a statement.

1453
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:35,120
We stare at the television
and waiting for the president

1454
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:39,400
must do what presidents do
at a time like this, to calm a country.

1455
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:43,880
It is to intervene,
it is to send help.

1456
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,600
And we see, and we see, and we see.

1457
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,760
We have a growing feeling
that we stand alone here.

1458
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:56,880
I see Liz Cheney in the room,
and I know her.

1459
01:54:56,960 --> 01:55:00,920
We are rivals. She is a very
conservative republican,

1460
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,520
inveterate party politician. But
she is a person of integrity.

1461
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:08,080
She is also that Republican
in the room with the highest position.

1462
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:13,640
I tell her, “Liz, I trust
that you agree with me on this.

1463
01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:18,400
As soon as we can,
as soon as they give us the go-ahead,

1464
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:23,360
must we march back to the chamber
in the House of Representatives and..."

1465
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:29,960
What I planned to say is, “And finish
the job and approve the election."

1466
01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:32,480
But she finishes the sentence for me.

1467
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,160
I say, “We have to immediately
start an impeachment process."

1468
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:39,160
Trump is dangerous.
He must be impeached.

1469
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:42,040
He must be judged and removed,
and we must do it now.

1470
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:47,520
"Oh, okay." Liz Cheney says this.

1471
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:50,880
It makes me realize the seriousness.

1472
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:17,880
We discussed briefly. “We should go.
It's over. They are everything in the building."

1473
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:21,960
Despite our best efforts, found
they way in a different way.

1474
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:27,560
I said to the guys who were there, “I
don't know how many are up.

1475
01:56:27,640 --> 01:56:32,440
But I know there are thousands of them
people in front who want to enter.

1476
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:36,760
If we leave, they come in, and we
never get them out. We'll stay here."

1477
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:41,240
It's very unnerving
when you think, “What do we do now?

1478
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,800
We tried to find out
what the playoffs were.

1479
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:47,440
This just seemed to continue.

1480
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:51,040
They didn't give up,
and we didn't give up.

1481
01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:09,400
I walked towards the front, and I saw the legs
until one of my men is taken away.

1482
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:11,080
"What the hell is going on"

1483
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:15,760
They have an MPD.

1484
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:38,640
Officer Isaac tells me that one
of our officers are out in the crowd.

1485
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:41,960
Now I think: "What do we do?"

1486
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:46,960
We can't leave behind
that officer out there in the crowd.

1487
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:52,440
But I also knew we had
so few people at the door,

1488
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:55,480
that no matter who we sent,
it would be useless.

1489
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:07,400
"We have to get him."

1490
01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:10,720
But strategically speaking
I couldn't do anything about it.

1491
01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:17,440
I could have sent men out the door,
but then we would have had to shoot people.

1492
01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:22,360
Then to introduce firearms
in this situation was indefensible.

1493
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:34,640
"Damn it. We just have to go
out. and get a beating, if you have to."

1494
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:38,240
We made a plan about who
which should go out and how.

1495
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:42,280
We were supposed to send
around ten officers out there.

1496
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:44,600
Surround him and drag him back inside.

1497
01:58:56,640 --> 01:59:00,400
- I have one.
- I have children.

1498
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:04,120
Fortunately, he stayed
led back to the door

1499
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:06,320
just before we were going to pick him up.

1500
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:11,880
Come here.
Get him back up there, come on.

1501
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:15,040
We'll let you go!

1502
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:29,600
We love you guys.

1503
01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:32,600
I turn around and there he is.
He was back.

1504
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:36,520
He looked like he was
dragged through a crowd.

1505
01:59:36,600 --> 01:59:39,000
He had been beaten
and given an electric shock.

1506
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:47,200
We need a doctor!

1507
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:52,280
We need medical attention!

1508
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:54,920
Several times during the match
it became so intense

1509
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:58,240
that I thought we would lose
and unable to stand.

1510
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:01,800
We were alone for a long time.
That's the scariest part.

1511
02:00:01,880 --> 02:00:07,080
We begged for help, and that
was no one who could help us.

1512
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:13,520
We went from protecting the Capitol
to survive in that tunnel.

1513
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:39,120
As we left the Capitol,

1514
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:43,440
we were told that Trump
made a video.

1515
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:47,800
He encourages everyone
to go home.

1516
02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:50,560
I feel your pain
and know that you are hurt.

1517
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:53,000
It is a very tough time.

1518
02:00:53,080 --> 02:00:57,240
There has never been a time like that
this where something like this happened.

1519
02:00:57,320 --> 02:00:59,720
Where they could
take it away from us all.

1520
02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:05,000
From me, from you, from our country.
This was a dishonest choice.

1521
02:01:05,080 --> 02:01:09,640
But we can't
give these people the upper hand.

1522
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:16,200
We must have peace. So go home,
we love you, you are very special.

1523
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:22,920
You see what happens, and how bad
and malicious others are treated.

1524
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:27,880
I know how you feel.
But go home, and go home in peace.

1525
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:34,200
It looks pre-recorded!
This is our house, dammit!

1526
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:38,600
It's not 6 p.m.
There is no curfew.

1527
02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:42,120
Trump would not…
That didn't sound like Trump.

1528
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:46,680
I asked the supporters:
“What do you think about that?

1529
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,160
Do you want to follow
Donald Trump's requests?"

1530
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:52,360
To them it is fake news.
Trump can't say that.

1531
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:56,800
And then I see
QAnon Shaman on the stairs.

1532
02:01:56,880 --> 02:02:00,600
I turn to him
in a straightforward manner.

1533
02:02:00,680 --> 02:02:04,400
“Is that you I'm looking at
the picture?" He says, "Yes!"

1534
02:02:04,480 --> 02:02:08,680
I was in the senate chamber.
I sat in Biden's chair. It was fun.

1535
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:11,920
Very proud of himself.
Then I say, "So..."

1536
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:14,880
Don't you think?
that pressuring the police,

1537
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:19,240
and enter when you are not allowed to
Does that undermine your message?

1538
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:23,400
Oh no. The message is
that the globalists and communists

1539
02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:26,160
has infiltrated the government
at the highest level.

1540
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:29,360
They have forgotten that they
working for us, the people.

1541
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:32,280
Today their boss showed up
up to work.

1542
02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:37,920
I ask him, “But do you think
Donald Trump will support you,

1543
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:44,960
when you react like that
against the police and the policemen?"

1544
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:47,040
And then he quotes Jefferson.

1545
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:50,480
The tree of freedom
sometimes needs to be refreshed

1546
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:52,760
with patriots
and the blood of tyrants.

1547
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:57,240
I'm a little surprised
over what he says.

1548
02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:01,520
I ask him:
"Do you think it was necessary?"

1549
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:05,440
No one is getting hurt right now.
No one pushes against the police officers.

1550
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:10,280
Our plan is to let these traitors
find out who is in charge.

1551
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:02,480
Everyone was exhausted.
Columns began to break up.

1552
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:07,920
We tried to hold them
as best we could.

1553
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:14,160
I sat down on the ground
and thought, "I have nothing left."

1554
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:18,480
There is not enough in this world
to motivate me right now

1555
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:21,520
to get up again
and continue the fight.

1556
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:25,680
I know for sure,
good, bad or indifferent,

1557
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:31,040
that if we had to shoot ourselves out, they were
most ready for it. It was too much.

1558
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:35,120
You reach a point
where a limit has been reached

1559
02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:38,240
for what one can bear
as a human being.

1560
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:41,520
There are limits and there are capabilities.

1561
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:44,920
As a police officer, you must follow
another standard.

1562
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:49,040
But I don't want to die in this time.

1563
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:18,680
I hear dogs barking.

1564
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:26,760
I can't for the world understand
why i hear dogs barking

1565
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:31,000
I look down the hall,
to my right.

1566
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:36,840
I see police officers
from the Virginia body

1567
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:39,600
running in our direction
with riot gear on.

1568
02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:44,720
Out of the blue came a giant
human walking. A huge man.

1569
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:47,520
He says:
"Do you need our help?"

1570
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,880
The sea divides,
and 25 people show up.

1571
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:52,360
It's Virginia State.

1572
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:04,640
They were the biggest guys I've ever seen.
I was so happy to see them.

1573
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:07,560
When they appeared,
I thought, "We'll make it."

1574
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:11,440
Now I wanted to get up
and get back into the game.

1575
02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:15,400
We had fresh souls to help
us. We will manage this.

1576
02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:17,720
We will win this battle.

1577
02:06:18,920 --> 02:06:22,480
One of them asked me:
"Should we throw stun grenades?"

1578
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:26,680
I said, “Throw whatever you have.
Let's do it."

1579
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:43,960
We all gathered at the door
and just pushed.

1580
02:06:49,360 --> 02:06:51,400
Finally we pushed our way out.

1581
02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:55,280
It's like emptying a drain.
The water just starts to flow.

1582
02:06:55,360 --> 02:06:58,360
We ran like lemmings out this door.

1583
02:06:58,440 --> 02:07:03,240
We could start pushing
people down on stage.

1584
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:07,520
We told people, “It’s over.
You are done. Get off the stage."

1585
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:22,360
Finally we are on the offensive, instead
for in defense the last four hours.

1586
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:27,360
We push ourselves out. You can feel
the air. You can breathe in the air.

1587
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:31,520
We pushed them all the way back,
and then you stop and you realize:

1588
02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:35,600
"It's cold out here,
and I'm wet from head to toe."

1589
02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:38,120
But you are happy.
"This is finally over."

1590
02:07:38,200 --> 02:07:41,640
The day that you did not believe
would end, finally ends.

1591
02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:53,680
AT 17.00

1592
02:07:57,040 --> 02:07:59,720
We as a nation were lucky

1593
02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:03,320
that Virginia State Police
appeared when they did.

1594
02:08:03,400 --> 02:08:07,680
We would have other conversations about 6.
January, if we had to stay there longer.

1595
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:12,280
We should have drawn our guns and shot
or someone in the crowd would.

1596
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:16,640
We had seized weapons.
How many more people out there had guns?

1597
02:08:16,720 --> 02:08:21,160
So we shoot, they shoot.
Fortunately, it didn't escalate to that.

1598
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:24,840
I can only imagine the losses
of life if we had done so.

1599
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:34,200
The important moment
during the shutdown occurs

1600
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:36,960
around 18:00 or shortly after.

1601
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:41,760
It is then Speaker Pelosi and
Steny Hoyer enters the room.

1602
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:47,400
We were ecstatic that they were
safe, worried about the trauma.

1603
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:51,520
I am asked to speak,
and I tell them, “We're back.

1604
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:54,040
We shall honor
our constitutional responsibility.

1605
02:08:54,120 --> 02:08:58,160
We can't let it go
one more day before we confirm

1606
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:00,680
that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

1607
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:03,080
is president
and Vice President of the United States.

1608
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:09,240
After so much confusion, fear
and anger through the day,

1609
02:09:09,320 --> 02:09:15,240
was it a good place for us to say:
“Yes, and now we shall do our duty.

1610
02:09:15,320 --> 02:09:18,040
We don't know when in the night,

1611
02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:21,760
but we shall approve the choice,
and tomorrow is a new day."

1612
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:26,760
I gave Tabitha a big hug
and a kiss and I said:

1613
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:31,080
"I'm so sorry. I don't know
how I can make it right again.

1614
02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:34,840
But this never happens again
when you return to the Capitol."

1615
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:38,080
And she said, “I will
don't come back to the Capitol."

1616
02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:43,960
And... for some reason,

1617
02:09:44,040 --> 02:09:49,080
of all the hideous things I see,
it hit me right in the stomach.

1618
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:52,760
She won't come
back to my workplace.

1619
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:54,640
Capitol of the United States.

1620
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:58,360
It was nothing really
I could tell at the time.

1621
02:10:09,320 --> 02:10:12,680
CNN sucks!

1622
02:10:15,080 --> 02:10:19,320
Fuck fake news!

1623
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:24,080
I see a group of people
which messes and shouts.

1624
02:10:24,520 --> 02:10:30,760
The energy in this circuit is
unstable. I look in the circle,

1625
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:35,800
and people destroy
AP Press cameras.

1626
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:48,240
And I'm scared.
This is an attack on the press.

1627
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:52,000
This is an attack on the media,
and I'm holding a great camera.

1628
02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:55,080
As soon as they have destroyed
this film equipment,

1629
02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:57,840
will they turn and see me
and follow me?

1630
02:10:57,920 --> 02:11:00,000
Damn take AP Press!

1631
02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:03,680
-Catch it on film!
-Morna, fake news!

1632
02:11:05,320 --> 02:11:08,000
Make a list!
Write these names down!

1633
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:12,240
Then we hunt them,
one by one.

1634
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:14,200
Traitors to the guillotine!

1635
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:17,400
I'll take a picture
of a group of people,

1636
02:11:17,480 --> 02:11:20,520
and a woman turns
and asks, "Who do you work for?"

1637
02:11:22,200 --> 02:11:25,480
Then she shouts:
"Antifa photographer! Antifa!"

1638
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:27,480
It's a death sentence in that pile.

1639
02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:33,440
Within seconds
there come four great men,

1640
02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:37,720
one was shirtless with a
axe-handles, and they surround me.

1641
02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:41,360
I raise my hands.
"I work for National Geographic."

1642
02:11:41,440 --> 02:11:44,360
"Prove it!" He has a cane.

1643
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:49,080
I pull out my press card,
it holds up and doesn't touch me.

1644
02:11:49,160 --> 02:11:54,240
He leans towards me and says:
"Oh, okay. It's fine."

1645
02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:58,960
I think he connects National
Geographic with giraffes and zebras.

1646
02:11:59,040 --> 02:12:02,040
I think, “Let me
get the hell out of here."

1647
02:12:02,120 --> 02:12:05,240
There is a curfew
across Washington DC,

1648
02:12:05,320 --> 02:12:08,840
after this extraordinary
the day of violence in the US Capitol.

1649
02:12:08,920 --> 02:12:13,760
We are now surrounded on this side
of the Capitol of the Federal Government,

1650
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:16,880
and a very large one
police presence here.

1651
02:12:16,960 --> 02:12:20,240
We just heard the second one
the announcement over the intercom,

1652
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:24,760
who asked people to disappear from the area.
The curfew has now been implemented.

1653
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:28,520
Do they not do this,
they will be arrested.

1654
02:12:30,320 --> 02:12:34,160
Move!

1655
02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:44,040
I see officers in different uniforms,
various tactical equipment.

1656
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:51,240
The fact that they were there
and that these bodies

1657
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:54,680
sent his men and woman
to our nation's capital

1658
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:58,440
to support our brothers and sisters
in the Capitol Police,

1659
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:01,360
it was a wonderful sight to behold.

1660
02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:06,560
It showed what
these police officers stand for.

1661
02:13:06,640 --> 02:13:11,920
It was not about political positions
or whether we agreed or disagreed

1662
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:16,640
with the views of those who were inside.
It had nothing to do with it.

1663
02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:21,920
I will always be grateful
for the help they gave.

1664
02:13:37,360 --> 02:13:40,960
I just walked around
in the building and thought:

1665
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:46,440
"People died in here, man"

1666
02:13:50,600 --> 02:13:56,240
I look around and see everyone
the destruction in this building.

1667
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:09,320
There are still officers on it
the floor. They are in pain, and they are bleeding.

1668
02:14:09,400 --> 02:14:13,320
Some of the officers you know
not again, until they removed the helmet.

1669
02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:19,000
They didn't say much. They just saw
on each other. He nodded his head.

1670
02:14:19,080 --> 02:14:23,480
They just thought, "What the hell happened?"
It is difficult to process.

1671
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:25,960
One guy broke down, started crying.

1672
02:14:26,040 --> 02:14:28,800
“I don't know how much
more I could have endured."

1673
02:14:30,160 --> 02:14:35,040
We gather,
and my one officer says:

1674
02:14:35,120 --> 02:14:39,720
"If someone says you don't
did their work today,

1675
02:14:40,280 --> 02:14:44,000
and not fought as mere beating
and held firm,

1676
02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:46,040
can you send them to me."

1677
02:14:46,840 --> 02:14:51,680
I entered the Statuary Hall there
many of my police mates

1678
02:14:51,760 --> 02:14:58,640
rested after the long one
the battle we saw them fight.

1679
02:14:59,080 --> 02:15:03,240
I said, "Thank you" to then
many as I could.

1680
02:15:03,320 --> 02:15:08,360
He went around and asked them
what they had experienced. They were upset.

1681
02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:12,480
They felt in the minority
and not well equipped.

1682
02:15:12,560 --> 02:15:18,000
They did not receive reinforcements,
and an officer did not take him by the hand.

1683
02:15:18,080 --> 02:15:23,040
My colleague said, "Did you see that?"
I said, "Yeah, that's fine."

1684
02:15:23,120 --> 02:15:25,040
“We are a Republican member.

1685
02:15:25,120 --> 02:15:31,560
They saw this as people from
my party that came and attacked them.

1686
02:15:31,640 --> 02:15:33,440
It's very emotional.

1687
02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:36,760
You feel guilty for these people

1688
02:15:36,840 --> 02:15:43,520
who physically sacrificed himself to see
that I and the members were safe.

1689
02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:48,240
I was safe and allowed to go home to
family tonight, because of them.

1690
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:55,800
Today was a dark day in history
to the United States Capitol.

1691
02:15:56,720 --> 02:16:02,080
To those who created chaos
in the Capitol today, you didn't win.

1692
02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:06,040
Violence never wins.

1693
02:16:06,120 --> 02:16:09,760
We must and we will show for the country

1694
02:16:09,840 --> 02:16:15,000
and for all the world that we don't
will be diverted from our duty.

1695
02:16:15,080 --> 02:16:20,440
We will respect our responsibility towards
the Constitution and the American people.

1696
02:16:20,520 --> 02:16:23,640
I recognize the courage
to the Vice President.

1697
02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:28,600
All of us, all of our members.
It was a very dangerous situation.

1698
02:16:28,680 --> 02:16:31,640
It's not just:
"Now we're all safe."

1699
02:16:31,720 --> 02:16:36,320
The scars from that threat
and the trauma it caused,

1700
02:16:36,400 --> 02:16:37,720
is present in the room.

1701
02:16:38,440 --> 02:16:41,120
I'm getting up
in opposition to the objection.

1702
02:16:41,200 --> 02:16:44,840
I listen to the debate
on the floor of the House of Representatives.

1703
02:16:44,920 --> 02:16:47,760
I witness the most naked

1704
02:16:47,840 --> 02:16:52,840
and emotional energy
I have seen in my entire career.

1705
02:16:53,440 --> 02:16:59,080
This is the first moment there
we as a nation are trying to recover.

1706
02:16:59,160 --> 02:17:01,480
We are all Americans.

1707
02:17:02,880 --> 02:17:08,760
Not "Americans R", no
"Americans D". We are Americans.

1708
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:12,160
By coming back
to complete our work.

1709
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:17,080
we prove that our democracy cannot
disturbed by criminal behavior.

1710
02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:21,520
We will not waver or bend
and not shrink from our duty.

1711
02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:30,160
Then there is a shift,
and it is so noticeable.

1712
02:17:30,240 --> 02:17:35,160
Because suddenly, after a couple of speeches,

1713
02:17:35,240 --> 02:17:38,760
things fall into place again.

1714
02:17:38,840 --> 02:17:41,720
I'm getting up
to support the objection.

1715
02:17:41,800 --> 02:17:45,240
- I support the objection.
- I support the objection.

1716
02:17:45,320 --> 02:17:52,560
The challenges continue,
and I say, "Are you messing with me?"

1717
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:58,600
After all this
should they challenge the results?

1718
02:18:00,160 --> 02:18:04,800
They will continue with the lie
and the conspiracy theories?

1719
02:18:05,280 --> 02:18:08,240
I get up in
opposition to the objection.

1720
02:18:08,320 --> 02:18:11,280
I'm begging the Republicans
about realizing what they are doing.

1721
02:18:11,360 --> 02:18:14,560
To state the idea that it
was not a fair choice.

1722
02:18:14,640 --> 02:18:20,600
I am not the same young man
as I was when I went to Iraq.

1723
02:18:27,200 --> 02:18:31,400
I am willing to do a lot
for my country and I did it.

1724
02:18:32,960 --> 02:18:37,200
I just never realized that
greatest threat to the country

1725
02:18:37,280 --> 02:18:41,760
came from my colleagues and from
other US citizens.

1726
02:18:42,480 --> 02:18:44,800
I saw someone
of my colleagues in the room.

1727
02:18:44,880 --> 02:18:49,600
They argue for the same as
they had planned before this happened.

1728
02:18:49,680 --> 02:18:54,920
That's what drove me to hold on
my speech during the approval.

1729
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:57,840
The last few years
have misinformation and fear

1730
02:18:57,920 --> 02:19:00,400
been fed into people
for profit and power.

1731
02:19:00,480 --> 02:19:04,440
For too many years, managers have
around the country said nothing.

1732
02:19:04,520 --> 02:19:07,160
Sometimes they repeated the message
because of faith

1733
02:19:07,240 --> 02:19:10,800
that winning at any cost,
was worth everything.

1734
02:19:10,880 --> 02:19:15,360
It is nothing but complete
silence from my side of the hall.

1735
02:19:15,440 --> 02:19:21,400
It strikes me every now and then that these
the people have not changed their minds.

1736
02:19:21,480 --> 02:19:24,760
It wasn't difficult.
I had to be true to myself.

1737
02:19:24,840 --> 02:19:29,400
I said to myself, “I don't want to
let people, whatever their number,

1738
02:19:29,480 --> 02:19:32,800
who was in the Capitol that day
and did what they did,

1739
02:19:32,880 --> 02:19:34,440
to influence my vote."

1740
02:19:34,520 --> 02:19:37,080
I want to be able to go home
and go to bed

1741
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:41,960
and sleep with a clear conscience, I saw
protested against Pennsylvania.

1742
02:19:42,040 --> 02:19:45,560
It was only the two states,
Arizona and Pennsylvania.

1743
02:19:47,480 --> 02:19:50,680
I vote
to confirm the Arizona election,

1744
02:19:50,760 --> 02:19:54,440
I go out the door
in the House of Representatives chamber

1745
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:59,280
and into the rest of the Capitol,
for the first time that night.

1746
02:20:00,120 --> 02:20:04,200
I see cigarette butts
butted against the statues,

1747
02:20:04,280 --> 02:20:09,320
and threw on the floor, water bottles,
gear, Trump flag...

1748
02:20:10,160 --> 02:20:14,560
I kneel down
and start cleaning up.

1749
02:20:16,280 --> 02:20:20,560
First I find this piece.

1750
02:20:21,840 --> 02:20:26,720
Just gold foil, very light,
plastic, and I see it.

1751
02:20:26,800 --> 02:20:31,400
I don't know what it is,
but it looks like a wing.

1752
02:20:33,280 --> 02:20:37,680
I keep cleaning,
and I find the rest of it.

1753
02:20:38,840 --> 02:20:45,760
I see the shape of a broken eagle.

1754
02:20:47,360 --> 02:20:53,120
I hold it in my hands
as if it were an injured animal.

1755
02:20:53,800 --> 02:21:00,680
There is something to this
which to me embodies

1756
02:21:02,120 --> 02:21:04,720
the scope of the 6 January.

1757
02:21:08,680 --> 02:21:10,240
AT 03.40

1758
02:21:10,320 --> 02:21:13,800
The votes for president
of the United States are as follows.

1759
02:21:13,880 --> 02:21:19,920
Joseph R. Biden Jr. from the state
Delaware has received 306 votes.

1760
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:24,840
Donald J. Trump, from the state
Florida, has received 232 votes.

1761
02:21:25,280 --> 02:21:28,040
The announcement of the voting results

1762
02:21:28,120 --> 02:21:31,200
by the President of the Senate shall be considered

1763
02:21:31,280 --> 02:21:35,200
a sufficient declaration
of those elected president

1764
02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:37,400
and Vice President of the United States.

1765
02:21:37,840 --> 02:21:39,920
The purpose of the joint session,

1766
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:43,440
according to the Senate
coinciding resolution 1,

1767
02:21:43,520 --> 02:21:49,080
in the 117th Congress, declared
the joint session that adjourned.

1768
02:21:53,480 --> 02:21:55,480
At the last club hit I was crushed

1769
02:21:55,560 --> 02:21:59,760
for so many Republicans
voted against the will of the people,

1770
02:21:59,840 --> 02:22:06,720
after they had seen death,
destruction and damage caused to people.

1771
02:22:06,800 --> 02:22:11,680
An attack on the Capitol, on the Constitution
our, Congress and our democracy.

1772
02:22:11,760 --> 02:22:15,680
There is a sense of relief
that for the moment this is over.

1773
02:22:15,760 --> 02:22:18,200
The choice is confirmed.

1774
02:22:18,280 --> 02:22:20,200
And the constitution worked,

1775
02:22:20,280 --> 02:22:23,120
and Joe Biden becomes President of the United States
in two weeks.

1776
02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:27,040
It felt good.
It felt really good.

1777
02:22:35,680 --> 02:22:40,520
As I drive home, I wonder
me: “Is this the beginning?

1778
02:22:41,240 --> 02:22:42,360
Or the end?"

1779
02:22:45,840 --> 02:22:48,200
Is this country falling apart?

1780
02:22:48,280 --> 02:22:52,800
Or by doing our duty in spite
for all the ugliness of that day,

1781
02:22:52,880 --> 02:22:55,120
did we help unite the country?

1782
02:22:57,440 --> 02:22:59,440
I still don't know the answer.

1783
02:23:01,880 --> 02:23:06,320
I stop in front of my house, and
I walk through the front door.

1784
02:23:06,400 --> 02:23:11,120
I'm sitting in my armchair,
and I just stare.

1785
02:23:13,400 --> 02:23:15,200
I just stare into the air.

1786
02:23:16,480 --> 02:23:17,880
And I broke down.

1787
02:23:20,920 --> 02:23:22,360
I cried.

1788
02:23:26,120 --> 02:23:33,040
All that fear and anger, everything
just came out at that moment.

1789
02:23:35,360 --> 02:23:39,240
And I pulled myself together.

1790
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:45,000
and on January 7

1791
02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:48,520
everything was different.

1792
02:23:50,320 --> 02:23:54,080
Nothing was the same.
At least not for us.

1793
02:23:58,520 --> 02:24:01,960
I was born in a communist
country and spent his career

1794
02:24:02,040 --> 02:24:05,600
on working in or around the country

1795
02:24:05,680 --> 02:24:08,520
where people struggle
and risking their lives for democracy,

1796
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:11,640
for the chance to enjoy the rule of law.

1797
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:14,000
The demons are always out there.

1798
02:24:14,080 --> 02:24:18,560
Do we not do everything in our power,
every single day

1799
02:24:18,640 --> 02:24:22,680
in defense of the system we care for
granted, we can still lose it.

1800
02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:33,320
The only thing that is necessary
for evil to exist,

1801
02:24:33,400 --> 02:24:37,240
is that good people do nothing.

1802
02:24:37,920 --> 02:24:43,200
People across the country depend on us,
whether it is law enforcement,

1803
02:24:43,280 --> 02:24:46,440
whether it is the military,
whether it is legislators,

1804
02:24:46,520 --> 02:24:48,880
to live by our oath,

1805
02:24:48,960 --> 02:24:53,920
to uphold the Constitution,
the rule of law and protect democracy.

1806
02:24:56,480 --> 02:25:01,520
I'm finally driving home,
and I think:

1807
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:03,840
“How do I thank you
my officers?"

1808
02:25:04,880 --> 02:25:09,320
"How do I explain to a spouse,
or a lover,

1809
02:25:09,400 --> 02:25:15,840
their children, that their husband, their mother,
their wife, their son,

1810
02:25:15,920 --> 02:25:20,520
their daughter was injured due to
of something I may not have done?

1811
02:25:27,760 --> 02:25:31,920
Which makes it worse for
these officers are the opinion,

1812
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:34,400
about that one third of the country

1813
02:25:34,480 --> 02:25:36,600
don't think that ever happened.

1814
02:25:36,680 --> 02:25:39,880
They don't believe that theirs
service counts as something.

1815
02:25:39,960 --> 02:25:43,160
It's an emotional burden.
That is why it is important

1816
02:25:43,240 --> 02:25:46,360
for history to show how brave
these people were.

1817
02:25:51,400 --> 02:25:56,040
I'm going to the airport,
to fly back to Michigan.

1818
02:25:56,600 --> 02:26:00,760
There are a handful
congressmen on the plane.

1819
02:26:00,840 --> 02:26:05,120
All others are from the rally.

1820
02:26:05,200 --> 02:26:11,160
Everyone else is from the mob,
and they celebrate.

1821
02:26:12,040 --> 02:26:16,120
We sit with our heads bowed.

1822
02:26:16,200 --> 02:26:19,800
During the hour-long flight
from to Detroit we overhear

1823
02:26:21,680 --> 02:26:28,600
this mob that retells
the whole day from their perspective.

1824
02:26:29,400 --> 02:26:30,680
It's terrible.

1825
02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:40,040
What I cannot forgive or forget,
is the trauma that was caused.

1826
02:26:40,120 --> 02:26:44,880
To see the looks of my employees,
these young, idealistic people,

1827
02:26:44,960 --> 02:26:47,040
from the trauma they had experienced,

1828
02:26:47,120 --> 02:26:50,800
and post-traumatic stress
they will experience.

1829
02:26:50,880 --> 02:26:54,520
Those scars run deep.
You can repair the building.

1830
02:26:55,040 --> 02:26:59,960
But it is very difficult to alleviate
trauma that people have experienced.

1831
02:27:03,120 --> 02:27:07,440
I'm driving up from Washington
back to New Jersey.

1832
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:14,520
I see my children running upstairs
to me for the very first time.

1833
02:27:16,960 --> 02:27:20,000
The younger ones just run around.

1834
02:27:20,080 --> 02:27:25,480
He dances around,
he is at that age, three years old.

1835
02:27:27,960 --> 02:27:32,920
But my eldest son, five years old
old man, he comes up to me.

1836
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:40,520
He thoughtfully approaches me,
and he says, “Dada, are you okay?

1837
02:27:42,160 --> 02:27:47,760
Did something happen at work?"
And I just…

1838
02:27:55,440 --> 02:28:01,400
I just…
I don't think I experienced

1839
02:28:03,400 --> 02:28:07,080
words so piercing
like that ever in my life.

1840
02:28:09,720 --> 02:28:11,600
"Did something happen at work?"

1841
02:28:19,640 --> 02:28:22,960
Present rifle!

1842
02:29:13,920 --> 02:29:15,920
BRIAN D. SICKNICK
