that. make no mistake, tonight s so-called hearing is not in good faith, it is not an honest probe into the security breakdown on that fateful day, and we will prove that to you tonight. instead, it is a made-for-tv smear campaign against president trump, featuring sliced and diced video that fits their predetermined political narrative from the very beginning, accompanied by the biggest trump haters on capitol hill. every single person on this committee is on record hating president trump, and they all voted to impeach him. now, people who support donald trump were not allowed to participate on this illegitimate, hyperpartisan committee, and sadly, those running the circus are not interested in what went wrong. they are not interested in what actually happened. they are purposely omitting what is critical information. we will tell you about tonight, and we will show you tonight, that will reveal where massive security failures did occur, and beyond that, show you the people
that are responsible for all of those security failures, and how the committee is protecting all of them from being exposed. tonight, we will name names. we will also show you how president trump, our defense department, the capitol police, offered every morning an opportunity to protect the capital, and they were rejected every single time. now we must learn the truth, so something like this can never happen again. i spoke out about it in real time on my radio show, and on january 6th on this program that night. now sadly, this committee prefers politics over safety. on this program, we believe that improving security at the capital, protecting all elected officials, is of the utmost importance, rather than a vengeful smear campaign like we see unfolding. so unlike this committee and their cheerleaders in the media mob, we will actually be telling you the truth. now, tonight, thanks to the very diligent reporting from john
told in no uncertain terms that the option of the national guard was available to everybody in power and they didn t take advantage of it. why isn t that the bigger story here? you do such an excellent job of shining a light on this very issue, which is that president trump authorized the use of the national guard and his offer was turned down. and there should be an investigation and how muriel bowser handled the security of the capitol and the city. these are the same individuals that stood behind and cheered the riotous mob that attacked the white house and sent dozens of secret service agents to the hospital and they cheered on nancy pelosi, in fact, attacked the victims of the portland siege. these are people that have been pro-write year after year after year. sean: let s get your take, reince priebus. i mean, it is an amazing
jim banks and jim jordan, because they were asking the very important questions that you laid out today. why was the capitol left so ill-prepared on january 6th? why did nancy pelosi prioritize our own partisan political optics rather than providing the security, training, and equipment, and basically making sure there was a broader understanding of the threats that potentially were going to happen on january 6th? and you know what, sean, the issues that matter to the american people right now that i hear about from my constituents, inflation, sky-high gas prices, the border crisis, the baby formula shortage, that is what the american people care about and democrats know they are losing on all of those issues because they created their crises, their radical policies, so these hearings are no more than an attempt to change the narrative, they are desperate, this is an illegitimate committee that is unconstitutional and it will do nothing to ensure the capitol s market secure in the futu
which is offering out piecemeal, cut up testimony and clips to fit a political narrative, as you said. this is not how you run constitutional congressional oversight. i did it differently when i ran the russia gate investigation, we put out the documentation invoke all transcripts. this committee has that ability and liz cheney let off the hearings and specifically said we are only going to give you partially what we have discovered, we are going to hold back the rest. that is not how you educate the american public on how to safeguard a capitol, that is how you politicize national security. sean: they are trying to make the case donald trump is responsible for what happened after he gave his speech that day at the capitol. can you explain to me how the guy that authorized 20,000 or up to 20,000 national guard troops is responsible for a riot that he was clearly trying to prevent, because i think common sense would recognize that if those troops were there at the capitol, january 6 n
