to remember.
- 00:10 - 00:10
The attack on the U.
- 00:10 - 00:13
S. Capital is one of the most unforgettable events in
- 00:13 - 00:14
American history.
- 00:15 - 00:17
The last breach that occurred at the Capitol was when
- 00:17 - 00:20
the British forces invaded during the War of 18, 12,
- 00:20 - 00:22
209 years later.
- 00:22 - 00:25
A mob of insurrectionists attacked the building after a rally
- 00:26 - 00:27
by none other than the sitting.
- 00:27 - 00:28
But on the way out, U.
- 00:28 - 00:34
S. President Donald Trump a call to action by the
- 00:34 - 00:35
president occurred.
- 00:36 - 00:38
He stated that the the election had been stolen.
- 00:39 - 00:41
If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to
- 00:41 - 00:42
have a country anymore.
- 00:43 - 00:46
On many online forums, plans were growing to take back
- 00:46 - 00:46
the country.
- 00:46 - 00:48
For Donald Trump, find the tunnels.
- 00:49 - 00:50
Arrest the worst traders.
- 00:51 - 00:53
One person that was planning on attendant actually wrote on
- 00:53 - 00:55
a post title Today I told my kids goodbye.
- 00:56 - 00:58
Some rioters seem prepared to go through with violence.
- 00:59 - 01:01
On Wednesday, they brought a noose to the Capitol steps
- 01:02 - 01:06
some more tactical gear, bulletproof vest and brought zip ties
- 01:07 - 01:10
and were presumed to be going to shackle the hostages.
- 01:11 - 01:14
People travel from around the country to attend the storming
- 01:14 - 01:15
of the capital.
- 01:22 - 01:24
The advance of the capital started at a roughly 1
- 01:24 - 01:27
15 PM Eastern Standard time.
- 01:27 - 01:30
This was the exact moment the siege began as two
- 01:30 - 01:33
men ripped down a barrier and rushed officers who were
- 01:33 - 01:34
behind another barrier.
- 01:35 - 01:37
Once they were past the barricades, many of the insurrectionists
- 01:38 - 01:41
made their way to the capital's west side, or the
- 01:41 - 01:42
setup had begun for Biden's inauguration.
- 01:44 - 01:46
Once inside the barricades that were set up around the
- 01:46 - 01:49
capital, the rioters did not have any difficulty getting further
- 01:50 - 01:50
into the building.
- 01:53 - 01:56
Yeah, we should never forget that day.
- 02:00 - 02:04
After entering the Capitol building, the rioters seemed unsure of
- 02:04 - 02:04
what to do next.
- 02:05 - 02:05
They loitered.
- 02:06 - 02:09
They grab selfies and trashed many offices.
- 02:10 - 02:13
One man stole Pelosi's electron and was caught on camera,
- 02:13 - 02:18
smiling. Many offices were ransacked, glass was broken, litter was
- 02:19 - 02:21
left throughout the building, and wooden furniture was destroyed.
- 02:23 - 02:26
Some of the rioters actually smeared feces on the walls.
- 02:27 - 02:31
Many of the lawmakers, including lawmakers, put Nancy Pelosi and
- 02:31 - 02:36
Mike Pence were evacuated to safer locations as the events
- 02:37 - 02:37
grew more chaotic.
- 02:38 - 02:40
The White House was resistant to deploy.
- 02:40 - 02:46
The National Guard backup finally arrived close to 5 p.m.
- 02:47 - 02:47
In the form of the D.
- 02:48 - 02:48
C police officers.
- 02:49 - 02:52
When the National Guard arrived later that evening, it took
- 02:52 - 02:56
a much more aggressive approach than the Capitol police had
- 02:57 - 02:59
had had taken earlier that afternoon.
- 03:00 - 03:02
They were physically handling the rioters and pushing them back
- 03:03 - 03:03
with force.
- 03:03 - 03:06
A perimeter was secured around the capital, and the certification
- 03:07 - 03:09
of election results was able to continue.
- 03:12 - 03:16
Mhm. Sure, Joe Biden was declared this 46 president of
- 03:16 - 03:17
the United States.
- 03:19 - 03:22
The aftermath of this event was six people died for
- 03:22 - 03:24
Trump supporters as well as two Capitol police officers.
- 03:25 - 03:28
Many believed that they were following Trump's orders to seize
- 03:28 - 03:28
the capital.
- 03:31 - 03:34
He called the people to descend on DC for nine
- 03:35 - 03:37
hours and then instructs them to go home.
- 03:37 - 03:39
The Capitol police may have been unable to keep the
- 03:40 - 03:40
rioters out of the building.
- 03:41 - 03:44
They were more successful in protecting the Congress people, the
- 03:44 - 03:45
government employees in the press.
- 03:45 - 03:50
Many people have lost time, money, family careers and even
- 03:50 - 03:50
their lives.
- 03:51 - 03:53
Over this and all they got from Donald Trump was
- 03:53 - 03:54
Thanks for coming.
- 03:54 - 03:54
Go home.
- 03:55 - 03:57
Now it's what the people were instructed to do.
- 03:58 - 04:01
Many supporters are cursing Trump for leaving them high and
- 04:01 - 04:03
dry. More than 100 and 20 people who were involved
- 04:04 - 04:05
in storming the capital have been arrested.
- 04:07 - 04:10
For many in the Trump administration, the riot was the
- 04:10 - 04:10
last straw for them.
- 04:11 - 04:15
After successfully unsuccessfully trying to get Mike Pence to invoke
- 04:15 - 04:19
the 25th Amendment, Pelosi announced she would assemble the House
- 04:19 - 04:21
to impeach Donald Trump if he did not immediately resign.
- 04:22 - 04:25
An article of impeachment against Trump was formally presented in
- 04:25 - 04:25
the House.
- 04:26 - 04:30
The article cited incitement of insurrection as the reasoning, and
- 04:31 - 04:33
Joe Biden is now the 46th president of the United
- 04:34 - 04:34
States.
