“I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic I stand for, a nation, under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all. [cheering] They came from all 50 states out of a sense of patriotic duty… “This is much more than just a rally for President Trump. This is truly a cohesion of our way of life. The American dream against fake news. … to protest elections they consider stolen. “Stop the theft!” Stop the theft! “” Here we are, patriots. We are in the Capitol building in Washington, DC, dead in front of us. Their day of action will be January 6 … “The house is in order.” ratifies the results of the 2020 elections. For some, it was just a rally for their president. For others, it was a call for arms. “We have the power in numbers. social media to storm the Capitol. Maps of the building’s layout were shared. There was talk of carrying weapons and ammunition and discussing which lawmakers should be targeted first. This anger was based on a lie. “This election was a hoax. A lie, “President Trump won this election.” “They were casting votes.” “Steal the Philadelphia election.” “When you win with a big win, they’re too. forged… ““ Oh stole the Milwaukee election. “” It’s not acceptable. “” It’s outrageous. “A lie spread by the president and his closest allies. “Let’s call for fraud when we find it.” Some of them have called for violence. “All hell will break out tomorrow.” “Everyone will remember who is actually in the breakthrough and fighting tomorrow. And who runs away like a chicken. ” “We bleed freedom.” “This will be their Waterloo.” “And we will sacrifice for freedom.” “This will be their destruction.” “USA! USA!” What happened next was chaos. “Did they break the glass?” uprising. “Get it now!” “Treason!” Betrayal! “Death. Then began a campaign to whiten history, starting from the top.” It was a zero threat. From the beginning, it was a zero threat. ” And it is spreading in the Republican Party. “Even if we call it an uprising, it wasn’t. In general, it was a peaceful protest. “An MP who helped barricade the doors of the house now suggests that there was almost no threat.” If you didn’t know that the TV footage was from January 6, you would actually think that This is a normal tourist visit. It was not a tourist visit. And the evidence is in the footage. As part of a six-month investigation, The New York Times collected and criminologically analyzed thousands of videos, most of them shot by the rebels themselves. Our reconstruction shows the Capitol uprising as it was, a violent attack instigated by the president against a democratic seat he promised to defend. attack, exposing regular employees to danger.We will trace key instigators in the crowd who take advantage of is in defense of the Capitol to ignite a wave of violence that engulfed the building. We will show for the first time the many simultaneous points of attack and the eight violations of what seemed like an impenetrable government institution. We will show how delaying the provision of Congress probably costs the life of a rebel. And how, for some, storming the Capitol was part of the plan all along. “Actually, I don’t even like to say it tomorrow because I’m going to be arrested.” “Well, let’s not say that. We have to go – I’ll say it. “” Okay. “- We have to go to the Capitol.” Let’s go! “On the morning of January 6, thousands fill the National Mall in Washington. Trump will speak here in Ellipse, a large park near White home and a half-hour walk to the US Capitol, where the election will be certified. Who is actually in this crowd? Most are ordinary citizens who believe Trump’s lie that the election was stolen. “It’s going to be a great day. as Trump says. ” But we also see more extreme groups gaining followers during Trump’s presidency. There are followers of the QAnon conspiracy … “Drinking their blood, eating our babies.” … who believe that Trump is facing a conspiracy by pedophiles who worship Satan. Q publications often refer to notions of patriotism and predict an impending storm. Even before January 6, some supporters called for violence. The Oath Keepers, a far-right paramilitary group, are also here. “We have men who are already stationed outside the District of Columbia.” Their leader said the group was ready to carry out Trump’s orders and arrest members of what they called the Deep State. They are organized, neatly arrange their equipment in military style on the ground. And later, they put on bulletproof vests, talk on radio stations and chat with their supporters in a walkie-talkie app called Zello. “We have a good group. We have about 30, 40 of us sticking together and sticking to the plan. Everyone, we’re one block from the Capitol. I’ll probably shut up when I get there, because I’ll be a little busy. ” The other group is the Proud Boys. They are far-right nationalists who shine white signs of power all day long. “Check all this testosterone.” They became popular when Trump called them during a presidential debate. “Proud boys, step back and stay away.” And they did. They have a history of street violence and will be key instigators of the riots. We will return to them soon. Although the rally was declared a political protest, some called for the storming of the Capitol even before Trump spoke. And later, when Trump really took the stage – “We’ll walk down to the Capitol.” … some hear his words as a call to action. “I know everyone here will be marching to the Capitol building soon. Two hours earlier, the Proud Boys were on their way to the Capitol. They are apparently spoiling for battle with far-left agitators such as antifa, who they believe are in DC. But there are moments that suggest another motive. “Come on, tighten up.” “Come on boys. They are also organized. Many are marked with orange ribbons or hats. They wear bulletproof vests, wear baseball bats and use radios. “It simply came to our notice then. Jesse, this is Tucker. ” They are led by Ethan Nordin, who is entrusted with the so-called military powers. He is joined by other well-known Proud Boys such as Joe Biggs, a Florida organizer, Dominic Petzola, a former Marine, and Billy Crestman. They will be among the first rebels in the Capitol building. Proud boys. As Trump speaks, some of his other supporters are also heading to the Capitol. Chanting: “Whose streets? Our streets! Whose streets? Our streets! ” And the tone becomes threatening. “And we will storm [expletive] Capitol. [expletive] you, [expletive]”USA! USA!” Right ahead, the security guards do not have enough staff and are not well equipped for what lies ahead. “Will you stop us?” The building is more than two football fields long. And the barricades erected on the east side are defended by only a few dozen officers. The West, facing the Trump rally, is even lighter. The fence has been widened and only five officers are guarding the northwest approach. About five are also defending the southwest approach, a few more are scattering the lawn and about a dozen officers are behind them. Plans to storm the Capitol were made in plain sight, but the FBI and Homeland Security did not consider these threats credible. “We’ll take this building!” “USA! USA!” Capitol police chiefs and the mayor of Washington have been warned at least three times for threats of violence, but have also not taken them seriously or disseminated the information. And they turned down offers for security officers from federal and other agencies. They could have recruited several hundred more Capitol police officers on January 6, but they did not. And none of the barricade officers have protective equipment or crowd control equipment. As a result, the Capitol is poorly protected. “Whose House?” Our house! Whose house? Our house! “It’s 12:50, and a large group of Proud Boys are with other protesters right next to the Capitol police line. Joe Biggs is uniting them. When he is approached by Ryan Samsel, a Trump supporter from Pennsylvania. But a minute later, Samsel was the first to approach the police line, and now the protest has turned violent. “USA!” rushing forward on several fronts. ”DC is a [expletive] military zone. “Police retreat to the Capitol building, where it is becoming increasingly threatening.” That’s why we came! Yes! ” Crowd mentality is beginning to take hold, with police so superior that they have been forced to step down again to defend Capitol access points more tightly, five minutes after the siege, when the Capitol police chief called for support. local law enforcement agencies, known as the Metropolitan Police, are asking other Capitol leaders to mobilize the National Guard. “You took an oath! we will explain later, the National Guard will not arrive for more than four hours …
