and cannot upset the person holding my hostage you put an emergency call in as quick as possible. he was doing everything he could to keep depape calm, and did depape know he was calling 911, did he think he was calling somebody else? when you look at the way that paul pelosi was speaking to a large degree in some sort of code to tell the 911 operator this is an emergency, he did a very good job of that, she did not do a good job of picking up on it, though eventually the police were dispatched. i think, john, it looks like just on our ability to hear that once, it looks like the assailant, depape, seemed to, you know, put 2 and 2 together as that call continued, because he clearly ran out of patience with whatever mr. pelosi was doing at the time, but i don t understand, even in a city the size of san francisco, you know,
hey, guys. how you doing? what s going on, man? hi. drop the hammer. nope. hey, hey, hey, hey. what is going on? i m not [bleep] i got him. send back-up, code 3. code 3 back-up unit [bleep] hands. code 3 as well.
where he didn t have a capitol if the capitol police were responsible for this, then, that he didn t have an emergency capitol police number or code to call the second that anything was fishy, and then you know, he s under great pressure and he s trying to convey to the police who turn out to be the wrong police, right, but he s trying to convey to them that look, i have a problem here, while he s obviously, you know, under threat by the person whose threatening him, and you know, they are asking him questions like well, you know, if you are sure, if you change your mind it s just it s maddening to listen to. john: i would hazard to guess in the wake of that phone call there s been some new training with 911 operators. people who have a famous name who are trying to say to you in code i got a real problem here
code 3 back-up at 26 unit [bleep] hands ten minutes, code 3 as well. got it? pelosi drops to the ground bleeding with a fractured skull. the whole incident lasts about 15 seconds. san francisco d.a. argued releasing some of this material could jeopardize security at pelosi s home, and depape s public defender said it could jeopardize his client s right to a free trial. the judge rejected the arguments and also released the 911 call, surveillance footage from the u.s. capitol police shows depape walking on to the property with a bag and smashing through a
cnn s veronica miracle is right there for us. also, the court released paul pelosi s 911 call. tell us about that. reporter: yeah, alisyn. first of all, that video so disturbing and hard to watch, especially knowing that paul pelosi suffered a skull fracture and nancy pelosi says he still hasn t recovered. that was three months ago, and she says it lle months before he may feel like himself again. so that 911 call, though, that you mentioned, it certainly paints an interesting picture because it happened right before all of the attack happened. it happened in the middle of paul pelosi trying to figure out exactly how to get away from david depap, and you can see timing to talk in code. take a listen. what is this? this is san francisco police. do you need help? oh, well, there s a gentleman here. i just waiting for my wife to
