00:00all know is a cornerstone of our democracy and the role of a president in a moment of crisis.

00:05Mr. President, on January 6th, you told your supporters to march to the Capitol. You said

00:08you would be right there with them. The country and the world saw what played out of the Capitol

00:12that day, the officers coming under attack. Aides in the West Wing say you watched it unfold on

00:17television off the Oval Office. You did send out tweets, but it was more than two hours before you

00:22sent out that video message telling your supporters to go home. Is there anything you regret about

00:28what you did on that day? You just said a thing that isn't covered. Peacefully and patriotically,

00:35I said during my speech, not later on. Peacefully and patriotically. And nobody on the other side

00:42was killed. Ashley Babbitt was shot by an out-of-control police officer that should have

00:48never, ever shot her. It's a disgrace. But we didn't do this group of people that have been

00:55treated so badly. I ask, what about all the people that are pouring into our country and

01:00killing people that she allowed to pour in? She was the Bordezar. Remember that. She was the

01:05Bordezar. She doesn't want to be called the Bordezar because she's embarrassed by the border.

01:08In fact, she said at the beginning, well, I'm surprised you're not talking about the border yet.

01:12That's because she knows what a bad job they've done. What about those people? What are they

01:17going to be prosecuted? When are these people from countries all over the world, not just South

01:22America, they're coming in from all over the world, David, all over the world, and crime rates

01:29are down all over the world because of it. But one of those, David, one of those people are going

01:34to be prosecuted. One of the people that burned down Minneapolis is going to be prosecuted,

01:38or in Seattle. They went into Seattle. They took over a big percentage of the city of Seattle.

01:43When are those people going to be prosecuted? But let me just ask you. You might ask her that

01:47question. You were the president. You were watching it unfold on television. It's a very

01:50simple question as we move forward toward another election. Is there anything you regret

01:55about what you did on that day? Yes, sir. I had nothing to do with that other than they

02:00asked me to make a speech. I showed up for a speech. I said, I think it's going to be big.

02:04I went to Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the mayor put it back in writing,

02:10as you know. I said, you know, this is going to be a very big rally or whatever you want to call it.

02:16And again, it wasn't done by me. It was done by others. I said, I'd like to give you 10,000

02:21National Guard or soldiers. They rejected me. Nancy Pelosi rejected me. It was just two weeks

02:27ago. Her daughter has a tape of her saying she is fully responsible for what happened. They want to

02:32get rid of that tape. It would have never happened if Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of Washington did

02:38their jobs. I wasn't responsible for security. Nancy Pelosi was responsible. She didn't do her

02:44job. The question was about you as president, not about former Speaker Pelosi. But I do want

02:48Vice President Harris to respond here. I was at the Capitol on January 6th. I was the vice

02:56president-elect. I was also an acting senator. I was there. And on that day, the president of

03:02the United States incited a violent mob to attack our nation's Capitol, to desecrate

03:11our nation's Capitol. On that day, 140 law enforcement officers were injured and some died.

03:19And understand, the former president has been indicted and impeached for exactly that reason.

03:27But this is not an isolated situation.
