00:00Trump supporters surge past Capitol Police, protecting the Capitol's West Steps, the side
00:20that is facing the White House.
00:23In another radio communication between Metropolitan Police officers, you can hear an officer declare
00:29that there is a riot at the Capitol.
00:32This is now effectively a riot.
00:341349 hours declaring it a riot.
00:49You can see that the rioter first break the window with the wooden beam that you saw previously,
00:54and a lone police officer inside responds and begins to spray the first man who enters,
01:02but is quickly overwhelmed.
01:08I want you to pay attention to the first group of assailants as they break into the building.
01:13The second man through the window is wearing full tactical body armor and is carrying a baseball bat.
01:55As the rioters reached the top of the stairs, they were within 100 feet of where the Vice President
02:02was sheltering with his family, and they were just a feet away from one of the doors to this chamber,
02:09where many of you remained at that time.
02:25Watch now how the mob searches for Speaker Pelosi's office, which is marked in red,
02:30and the House chamber itself.
02:33Where are you, Nancy? We're looking for you!
02:36She's in jail!
02:41Nancy!
02:43Oh, Nancy!
02:46Nancy!
02:48Where are you, Nancy?
02:54Nancy!
03:02After just seven minutes of them barricading themselves, and the last staffer entering the door on the right,
03:10a group of rioters enter the hallway outside, and once inside, the rioters have free reign
03:18in the Speaker of the House's offices.
03:21We're going to play some audio we have of the Speaker's staff with the rioters at the door that day.
03:37You can hear the pounding in the background as that staffer is speaking.
03:52As Pence was being evacuated, rioters started to spread throughout the Capitol.
04:03Those inside helped other rioters break in through doors in several locations around this entire building.
04:21As you were moving through that hallway, I paced it off.
04:26You were just 58 steps away from where the mob was amassing and where police were rushing to stop them.
04:40You see Leader Schumer walking up a ramp.
04:44Going up the ramp with his detail, he'll soon go out of view.
04:59Seconds later, they return and run back down the hallway, and officers immediately shut the door and use their bodies to keep them safe.
05:44As long as it took to get back, we were there.
05:51We were there to keep the rioters safe.
05:58We were there to keep the rioters safe.
06:05We were there to keep the rioters safe.
06:11As long as it took to get back to the Capitol, to get back to the certification of the election, it could have been so much longer.
06:20Or we might not have been able to have resumed at all.
06:26As horrific as it was, 140 officers injured, three officers who ultimately lost their lives, we all know that awful day could have been so much worse.
06:38The only reason it was not was because of the extraordinary bravery of the men and women of the Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Departments.
