that day just like we saw the five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer ofno 2020.w w i don t know why wee don t haveo a committee looking into that . people good people all acrossw the country know that we can tha have riots like that and people go unpunished. but that s exactly what happened. we can t have bu our capital breach like this . there arehi answers but it b doesn t seem like they re even delving into the question that wouldin lead to the answer. that s exactly right, sean. exa, and what makes republicanswh different from democrats is republicans have consistently dl condemned violence, whereas democrats did not condemnenem the violence during the riots throughout all of 2020 the desecration of our federalra buildings, the burning to the ground of our cities across america, republicans did condemn that just like we condemn the violence on january 6th j and those that committed crimes and destroyed property on us capital , they have been prosecuted to the fullest ext
me that the general absolutely recalls conversa actions with president trump about security prior to january six . now where more than an hour into the capitol show tonight , this so-called hearing apparently there s going to be what plan hearings in perpetuity by the sounds of and this critical information, this critical meetingcrit has ne been mentioned one time, not one time. whyime.? because it doesn t fit. fit, sadly, they are predetermined w political outcome which we all know is to smear once again donald trump. it s kind of hard to say to somebody that somebody wanted a riot and instigated a riot when that same person authorized up to twenty thousand troops to protect that veryry capital whee the so-called riot is going to take place. now keep in mind, according to defense experts, the capital would not have been breached with thousands of national guard soldiers
as possible to read it sore that they re ready to respond. we r need the help of all americans on this issue. all right. the book is called saving nine . i couldn t be a more timelyalle book. senator mike lee, a thank you fr being with us. here now fox news legal analyst greg jerrett. greg, in light of i think the big the big get out of t today s hearing was liz cheney s admissionring that they had all the intelligence prior to january six that violence was going toe w occur and now we know that the department of defense, donald trump s department of defensefe and donald trump on january 4th, but as earlyns as januaryhe 2nd they were pretty much begging the nancy pelosi the capital the leaders to take the guard and they wouldn t do it. they refused that every singlepo point i m having a hard time reconciling the fact that liz cheney in this committee knew that the intelligence showed that there was a lot ofge potential for violencees
messagesde, all of their emails and depose all of them now even the vengeful and very trump obsessed liz cheney, she actually admitted tonight i couldn t believe my earsieve that the violence on january six was not spontaneous. she said it it was not the result of the president s speech. instead, shein points outhe p is preplanned. as you watch this , ask yourself, well, if you knew ahead of time that people were planning violence, whyleat didn t everybody k that knew this ? whyf did they if you knew about this , why didn t you call in the guard? take a look.he the attack on our capital was not a spontaneous riot intelligence available before january six identified plans to, quote, invade a capital, occupy the capital and take other steps to halt congress s count of electorales votesha that dayt . okay, so now we all they all knew the violence was
protect the capital that were ignored? what else might we learn about donald trump s efforts to protect the capital that nobody had been talkingng about? i want to juxtaposition the lead up too the january 6th and we ve already covered that versus what happened on january 6th and afterwards one thing i highlighted was the failure to install a no i clean fence around the perimeter to secure the border. we secured it. i as chief of staff dod overnight and installed it on january six . that .uld have done they refused to do so. now turning back to nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, i think what are going to learn is their activities on january 6th. the same peoplesame that didn t want a single national a guardsmen and women called me and the secretary defense at dod and said we want crew t serviced weapons and armorro tanks to protectte the capitol from that time on until inauguration. weaponizes weapon is a formerr military who called yout and asked for what the leadership? at the congress
