New exclusive interviews. The sounds surrounded us but then once they started banging on the door thats all i heard. New details. Over ran the capitol. I never dreamed he would ever do anything like that. It just getting started. Tonight a cnn special Report Assault on democracy, the roots of trumps insurrection. The early morning of January 6th, 2021 started for many as a day of anticipation. They came, Tens Of Thousands from all walks of life. Led by a lying president they would converge with a singular goal, do whatever it takes to prevent the peaceful transition of power in the greatest democracy on earth. President donald j. Trump lost the election. They were deceived into believing the presidency had been stolen, their country was threatened. They had come to washington to fight for what they thought was right. They feel theyre the heroic revolutionary courageous warriors saving democracy. But they were wrong. It was all a lie. January 6th was insurrection, December December Da skiezed as patriotism fed by their members of congress, their television shows, their friends on Social Media. It should have been predictable. You know, we saw people who had been whipped up into believing an election was being stolen and then being told it would happen straight away. So youve got radicalization and mobilization. Thats the perfect recipe for acts of violent extremism. That threat continues to this day driven by lies that endanger our democracy. How did millions believe a network so deep, so vast they would ignite an insurrection to find the answers we have to go into that sea of people. See through their eyes. This is that story and its not over. I hate i lost so many friends and i hate my family thinks im crazy and i hate it such a struggle and i hate people dont see the truth. Welcome to communist america. Im so proud. Yvonne facing two federal charges filmed herself inside the capitol. The former Marine And Mom began her twisted path to this protest with Weight Loss Surgery and a documentary about the food industry. They lie to us what is in our food and what is acceptable. That path to Nutrition Led to qanon. This is bigger than q. This is biblical. I believe the corrupt systems are Anti Christ. I believe living the book of insurrection. She stormed the capitol and live streamed the protest and unrepenaltied. I dont believe Joe Biden is the president and they lost the election and they tried to steal it and trump did what he needed to do, step away to Wake America up. Josh pruett, a Bodybuilder And Bartender from the d. C. Area came to the capitol because he, too, believed the election was stolen from Donald Trump. If biden had won, if at 10 00 at night they announced biden won. Nobody would care. We dont care that much. We care that much because we thought we were cheated. Your idea of this election is batted down by courts, by republican election officials by secretaries of every state this was a fair election. All i can tell you is 85 Million americans feel differently than what youre saying now. Guaranteed. The election was stolen. It was. There is proof it wasnt. There is absolute proof it was but nobody wants to show it and everybody wants to hide it. Where is the proof of that . There just is. His journey was more convoluted. I voted for obama. I liked obama. He is now a proud boy. A video of him being initiated into a far right Extremist Group went viral. Im a western chauvinest. Got 30 Million views, i think. And gained thousands of followers on Social Media. On January 6th, video would capture him again in the first wave of rioters storming the capitol. We didnt storm any capitol. Okay . We did protest. We peacefully protested. You call January 6th a peaceful protest . I do. You dont feel any responsibility . I do not. Absolutely not. I dont feel i did anything wrong. Overran the capital. Were in the capitol. Donovan crowl was in the right Wing Militia. He refused to speak to cnn. His Sister And Mother describe him as an Ex Marine that went from being a little League Coach to becoming an alcoholic. He was just a genuinely good person. He was always someone i looked up to and extremely proud of. His son idolized him and everybody idolized him because he had a great personality. His life would spiral downward after his second marriage fell apart and his mom battling leukemia said he was a mean drunk. He was dr. Jekyll and mr. Hide when hes drinking. Its all snowballed. Then he started going on these websites that essentially were a vacuum. He would move to Rural Ohio and find companionship from a Transgender Bar Owner named Jessica Watkins that would recruit him into the Oath Keepers. He found a purpose in his life because he was at rock bottom, and anybody that cared about him didnt want anything to do with him anymore because of his drinking. You consider him a domestic terrorist . I didnt. But i do now. His family says trump shares the blame. Trump gave them a bogeyman. Trump gave them someone to fear or blame things on. He gave them an excuse for their rotten life. Are we live . Couy griffen was at the capitol amid thousands on January 6th. He climbed a capitol balcony, borrowed a Bull Horn and tried to preach. The next day he would post a much more menacing message about the building. The cowboy and new Mexico County Commissioner began his career as a Cowboy Performer for disney. Raised listening to Rush Limbaugh, he saw in President Trump Someone who finally understood rural america. He feels the Democratic Party hurt his Family Business and pushed unfair regulations and didnt take problems at the border seriously. He launched cowboys for trump and later rode 170 miles from Western Maryland to washington d. C. Griffin appeared On Fox and got noticed by the president himself. It was life changing. I was nothing but a locally elected County Commissioner with a mass of problems and the president invited me to sit down at his desk with him and hear me out. Griffin went to the border with Trump Crow Knee Steve Bannon and when he posted this video about dead democrats, President Trump retweeted him. The only good democrat is a dead democrat. I dont say that in the physical sense and i can already see the videos getting edited where all i say is murder democrats. No. I say that in the political sense. Were not going to get our election stolen from china. He sees conspiracies in almost everything. January 6th. It may have been a setup by democrats. He says he doesnt follow qanon but it sounds like he shares some of the same believes. The deep states just say because the devil wants to destroy things. There is those foot soldiers of the deep state those like Hillary Clinton, george soros, dr. Fauci, bill gates. Theyre the big wheels. Theyre the controllers. Griffin doubts the undeniable, that the Riot Led to deaths. Ashli babbitt an Air Force Veteran from San Diego shot and killed by Capitol Hill Police. Hes got a gun [ gunshots ]. Sounds like a gunshot. U. S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from a stroke one day after being attacked by rioters. Couy griffen like others cannot accept their socalled peaceful protest led to death so they deny it. Let me just ask you, do you believe Officer Sicknick died because of the riot . Im not so sure Officer Sicknick is even dead. Couy. Im serious, thats how and i hate to be so crazy conspiracy minded. Im not so sure Ashli Babbitt is dead. Couy. Who is to say have you seen anything of her family . Up until the point she passed, we lived two blocks apart. The answer is yes. Through High School Me And My Sister were best friends. This is Ashli Babbitts brother roger. He and his 35yearold sister were very close. It was weird because we saw it on the news and it was like, you know, thats my sister. He says his sister was a tomboy who joined the military out of High School. She could do anything. She was invincible. Thats the way i looked at her. After the Air Force she bought a Pool Company in San Diego which she ran with her husband and her brother. She was happy. Talked about how she lives in a beautiful place, you know, does what she wants, its the american dream. And he says his sister voted for Barack Obama. I think that proves in itself she wasnt as crazy as a lot of the media is portraying her to be. Then she became a trump fan. We can make america great again. Ashlis brother says they rarely discussed politics because he just wasnt interested. Her passion for Donald Trump would eventually lead her to qanon, than the capitol where a single shot ended her life. I dont think she deserved to be shot. Ashli babbitt died in defense of a lot convinced by powerful forces her beloved united states was in jeopardy. She and other Trump Supporters believed the false Election Fraud on tv, internet, Social Media and for some, their place of worship. If i go down and the Anti Christ will take over, ill go down with a fight. Pastor Ken Peters runs Patriot Church near Knoxville Tennessee and preaches trumps make america great again message. We know something crooked went on. There is actual evidence. He is a supporter of The Black Robe Regimen inspired by pastors that fought in the revolutionary war. Often times these preachers would have their Military Gear under their pastors robes and would get done with the sermon and unzip the rope and say Let Go Out and fight for independence. Would you call it a Military View towards religion . We talk about warfare, were talking about spiritual warfare. Are you concerned there is somebody in the audience who actually takes your words literally . Not a chance. We arent attacking anything physically. We are attacking this on slot of the enemy upon our nation. We believe that this country is being taken over by satan. Were fighting against damonic forces. He called on followers to protest the Election Results in person on January 6th. President trump has asked every patriot that can possibly be there on January 6th to go to d. C. All right . Im going to be there god willing. And went there himself. Preaching before a crowd near the White House the day before. And its important in this moment we stand up like never before. This is our time. And if we dont hold up the shield of faith, satan will take over this land. January 6th, 2021 was a disastrous combination of misinformation, lies and manipulation steeped in suspicion, racism and fear. A movement that began more than a decade earlier when america was ushering in another historic change. I Barack Obama do solemnly swear. Oh dont burn down the duplex. Terminix.

Book a free Trial Class Today Usa Usa Usa to understand how america got to this, we have to go back to this. November 2008, the election of the first black president. Change has come to america. Change is what the country voted for but to some, change brought fear. Everything obama. And a Right Wing Media Run by Rush Limbaugh whipped the audiences into an opposition. I know what his politics are. I hope he fails. That was a shocking moment when you have one of the biggest voices in American Media and global media saying i hope he fails. There were people who let themselves get spooked by the skin color. I think that his Name Barack Hussain obama, i think there were people that couldnt get past that. He never had a chance. It was the beginning of a path that led to Donald Trumps insurrection. New Mexico County Commissioner Couy Griffen listened to Rush Limbaugh every day. Barack obama was somebody that i dont feel like i could ever trust. Preachers should be up in the grill of a filthy politician, immoral politicians. Evangelical preacher Ken Peters looked at this christian president and saw a threat to his own religion. Seeing how promuslim he was versus prochristian, i hated how he apologized for america to other nations. Joann Roses Son Donovan Crowl called Obama Racist names. Hed call him porch a monkey and would make me mad when he would say comments like that. I ended up hanging up on him because i would get so upset with him. He felt he would take his guns. What started it was the Tea Party movement, and then it just grew from there. The Tea Party. A political revolution launched in opposition to President Obamas plans to tackle the financial crisis. Usa usa there was a lot of white rage, sure, some of the Tea Partiests were out there talking about Government Spending and so on but i remember being at Tea Party rallies seeing tshirts that said put the white back in the White House. We are going to fire president Barack Obama. A former Airline Flight Attendant named Amy Cramer would use a painted bus, the Tea Party express for protests across the country. A decade later, she would be a key organizer of President Trumps rally on January 6th. The Tea Party would capture a new kind of political activism and anger. There is a direct link between the Tea Party rebellion and the Trump Rebellion and then ultimately, the insurrection. In 2011, Donald Trump would capture that same energy of the Tea Party and embrace a Conspiracy Theory that would launch his own political career. Birtherism. All i want to do is see this guys Birth Certificate. That lie that Barack Obama was not born in the united states is as real in the eyes of some of those who stormed the capitol as it was a decade ago. It was in the Obama Era that something started to stir my soul into politics. I mean, the whole Birth Certificate thing, there is so much proof hes not a u. S. Citizen. I dont feel like Barack Obama is a believer in america or what america is and what america stands for. Do you believe hes american . Yeah, you know. I guess. I havent seen his Birth Certificate. Have you . Barack obama would make two versions of his Birth Certificate public. It didnt matter. I think the lesson learned from trump in that entire saga is that he could get away with a lie. Lighting a fire that will burn all the way to washington. Trumps rise was happening at the same time a former Investment Banker and Movie Producer named Steve Bannon was building a conservative News Site so powerful it would turn the republican party upside down. Named after its founder andrew breitbart. Breitbart news would launch the alt right into the main stream. There was a populous power. This was totally different. This wasnt standard republican Party And Breitbart became the Block Side for that. Curt former Breitbart Spokesperson said the aim was to change America And Ban bannon directed it. The goal isnt objectivity. It more about what does the conserve ti side believe about this and how do they amplify that . Breitbarts headlines were built on fear, fear the Second Amendment was being threatened and fear of Obama And Fear of illegal immigrants. This is why Bannon And Trump are perfect for each other because theyre perpetuating a massive con. They could give two craps about their base. Trump had emerged as the perfect candidate to drive bannons Alt Right Vision to the White House and it would be perfectly timed with the rise of Social Media. Donald trump would not have become president were it not for facebook and more broadly, algorithms on Social Media. Bannon worked with a company skilled in psychological war fair and created Cambridge Analytics to target americans. During my Experience Whistle Blower Chris Wiley says the Delivery Weapon used would be facebook. As soon as you start clicking on things, it starts to remove other content and shows you more and more of the thing youre clicking on. You start to move further and further away from a common reality with others. It was the beginning of a new era of disinformation that continues to tear americans apart today. Anyone could create a socalled News Story and have it spread like wildfire. I think we have fundamentally misunderstood what happened with Social Media and the scale of change it has brought about. Trump supporters like Couy Griffen increasingly tuned out regular News Outlets and paid attention to facebook. Facebook is where i got a lot of my media from. Facebook or essential media i feel like you can glean more of the stuff that maybe interests you and isnt coming from a main stream media outlet. Social media launched a Turning Point deliberate disinformation competes equally with truth and facts. A perfect moment for Donald Trump to launch a president ial bid. I will build a great, Great Wall on our southern border and i will have Mexico Pay for that wall. Trumps followers were led to believe American Society was under attack and only trump could save them. Trump shared more stories from breitbart than any other source and he would make Steve Bannon the ceo of his campaign. He had political advisors that recognized this grievance, figured they could tap into it, amplify it and went off of it. Completely scare the crap out of white people. Yes. Just to get elected . Yes. It was working. Donald trump was racing through the republican primaries picking up wins and picking up believers. I spent a lot of time Screaming And Yelling during 2016 saying trump can win. People who were looking only at elite main stream media didnt see it coming. Trump supporters out there. Bartender Josh Pruett who says he voted for obama was now a trumper. I just like the straight to the pointness of him and, you know, his combativeness with people. Him not being scared to say stuff. I was so sick of politicians. Yvonne went from supporting Ben Carson to trump. I saw in his Heart And Soul how much he loves our country and military. Absolutely. Pastor Ken Peters would also eventually get on the Trump Train. I was much more for Ted Cruz than i was for Donald Trump. And i knew hillary or trump, there is only one choice. It got to be trump. By 2016, Donovan Crowl is becoming more and more detached from reality. He wanted me to start collecting water and cash. My money in the bank. His really main thing with President Obama was that he was going to declare Martial Law so he could stay president. He was trump all the way. But he hasnt voted in his life. Never voted . Never voted. By November Predictions favored Hillary Clinton by a wide margin. Her campaign had readied a Fireworks Display for Election Night and then it happened. Unlike anything weve seen in our lifetime. Donald trump wins the presidency of the united states. He won the presidency but for trump, it wasnt enough. Hillary clinton had beat him in the popular vote. Trump would tweet she only beat him because of the millions of people who voted illegally. It was a complete lie and it was only the beginning. And we will make america great again. Welcome to allstate, are you down, dddown, dddown, dddown where were driving down the cost of insurance. Are you down, down ddown, down . Are you drivers who switched saved over 700. Allstate. Here, better protection costs a whole lot less. Youre in good hands. Click or call for a lower rate today. What happens when you make power your thing. Above everything . You put muscle over matter. And you make horsepower. A superpower. Delicia this is where all our recycling is sorted 1. 2 million pounds every day, helping to make San Francisco the greenest big city in america. But thats not all youll find here. There are hundreds of goodpaying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayviewhunters point. We dont just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. Now, thats making a difference. I donald John Trump do solemnly swear. His presidency would begin with a lie. I get up this Morning And Turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field. I said wait a minute. I made a speech. I looked out. The field was it looked like a million, million and a half people. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period. I think he in his own Mind Couldnt tell the difference between what was true and what was false. And i dont think it particularly mattered. John bolton was trumps national security advisor. If he could convince people that what he wanted to be true was true, he would try to do it. And the weeks before he took office Donald Trump would launch the phrase he would use to get away with almost anything. You are Fake News. With those two words, Donald Trump had told his supporters they no longer needed nor could trust the institutions, the official accounts, the News Outlets that dedicate themselves to present actual facts. From now on, it was trump who would tell them what to believe. A few days ago, i called the Fake News the enemy of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people. He would lie about anything. Just remember, what youre seeing and what youre reading is not whats happening. He could have told folks that grass is actually blue and the sky is red, and he would have had some segment of his followers believe him. There is a cultlike phenomenon as it pertains to trump. Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. This might sound extremely strange to a lot of your viewers but i feel like he was anointed by god. Donald trump . Yeah. Anointed by god . Yeah, he carried gods anointing because he won. Hes an unbelievable leader and when he speaks, he strikes a chord in us that grabs us and we go yes, thats the truth. Thats right. Not everything but most everything he says grabs us. Others saw in tlump a rare opportunity to further push an alt right agenda. Yes, by the way, they are trying to take away our history and our heritage. You see that. Steve bannon who hand delivered trumps messaging was in the White House turning his World View into policy. It not time to bring the country together, its time to take on elites, hit him with the Blow Torch. Trumps Blow Torch would be the Executive Order with bannon on his side he would sign a series of orders one nicknamed the muslim Travel Ban and others restricting immigration, building the wall and increasing border security. All based on the lie that a Mass Invasion of dangerous criminals was underway. People hate the Word Invasion but thats what it is. Its an invasion of drugs and criminals and people. We have no idea who they are. Trump followers were being fed Conspiracy Theories by the president on tv, radio and online. The migrant caravans, yeah, i completely believe theyre staged with all my heard i do. There is evidence. Ashli babbitt would post Video Rants about problems on the southern border. I live about 15 minutes from the Taijuan Border so this is something i take personally. They are trying to paint the migrant caravan full of migrant women and children. Let me tell you now, the border is an absolute shitshow. Donald trump is the only president we had in office that actually was speaking out to represent us, the forgotten americans. Couy griffen who would start cowboys for trump would stake his future on the president. Anybody that lives on the southern border knows that its extremely dangerous. Much like his claim of Fake News, trump would use the power of fear over and over again to motivate his base. He never thought of himself as President Of The United States. He thought of himself as the president of his base. He exacerbated the loss and bitterness. Part of his political base included white supremacists. He saw those people as Trump Supporters and just lacked the ability or the willingness to consider the broader implications. Curt, the former spokesperson for Steve Bannons Breitbart News could see the News Site attracting more and more racists. The overt racist comments from the Breitbart Audience was littered across their pages. We can probably proclaim our white pride and its okay because the most powerful person in the world is with us right here, too. Joann row could hear it all coming from her basement. Her son and Ex Marine whom she and other Family Members call an unemployed drunk was constantly listening to right Wing And Conspiracy news especially the Internet Show of conspiracy Theorists Profiteer Alex jones. He would listen to, like, bright part, Alex Jones, bring it upstairs full blast. I said it crazy and were reversing it. For the last four years, alex has been Bar None the loudest and most outspoken Donald Trump supporter and he will tell people when it comes to the Conspiracy Theory. Robert jacobson worked for Alex Jones for more than a decade. He said the Conspiracy Theories joaned pushed on Info Wars like mass shootings being fake were about making money, which he did by Selling Questionable Health Supplements on the website. Big stories, equalled big profits. To alex, that means that he is going to sell some product that day because of the spike in audience based on somebody elses tragedy. Jacobson says he doesnt know if Alex Jones believes his own conspiracies. Donovan Crowls Mom and sister say crowl believes them all. He would constantly facebook message me sending me stuff about hollywood pedophiles eating babies. I would shame him. Thats absolutely ridiculous. I would be like youre a dumbass. This is not true. He would tell us such crazy things. Hillary clinton had a Sex Ring in the basement of a pizza parlor. Tom hanks and his wife were the head of a pedophile ring. Your son believed in qanon, basically . Yes, absolutely. A new conspiracy was seeping its way into right wing Social Media and News Outlets. Qanon. Qanon believed that basically all democrats are evil, Satan Worshipping pedophiles and the only person to stop this evil and save the world is Donald Trump. Qanon believers would seek out encoded messages on the internet and parse out numbers and words of trumps messages waiting for some big action from the president. At Trump Campaign rallies, q followers became a noticeable portion of the crowd. Q is a real thing. Corruption, exploitation and sexual abuse. Human trafficking. Like he did with white supremacist, he would speak to the q supporters with a wink and nod. I heard these are people that love the country. I dont know anything about it other than they do supposedly like me. Ashli babbitt had gone deep into the Q Conspiracy posting hashtags including the slogan, where we go one, we go all. She had a shirt with a giant we are q on it. Had no clue what it was and she just said it was some political thing and thats basically where the conversation ended. For yvonne, q was more political. I felt like q catapulted me to truth because that was my prayer in the beginning is god, show me the truth. I want truth. Give me truth. I think trump is part of q, hes Q Plus plus. Q is very empowering. What q allows a person engaging in conspiracies to do is feel like theyre taking Action Fighting back. Of course, it all profoundly mistaken and none of it is real. And as the calendar turned on 2020, a global pandemic would take Conspiracy Theorists down a darker hole. America at war with coronavirus. The infection is driving fears of a global recession. 75 Million americans have been told to stay home. Josh pruett a bartender and personal trainer lost work. You dont believe in covid . I dont say i dont believe in it. I dont believe it that big of a deal. Covid is a big deal and the flu went away. All of a sudden there isnt such thing as the flu anymore. Everyone that had the flu has covid. The coronavirus played on everyones mental health. I dont want to say just my sisters. I dont want to say it made her crazy but put Stress And Strain on everyone. Everything. Protests against Business Shutdowns broke out at State Capitals across the country. Covid started and the Mask Mandate and things started to feel wrong and they started to have protests so i went to my very protest ever and it was very, very patriotic. It was all coming to a head. A lot of Qanon Believers do see this in biblical terms almost. Blood drinking pedophiles, Covid Shutdowns trying to destroy the american economy. A conspiracy to replace white people. The election of 2020 would be a battle between good versus evil. And Donald Trump would be ready to tell the biggest lie of all. Who is not going to at least listen . Hes the president. Line.

It comes with quickaccept, which lets us take card payments anytime, anywhere, and get sameday deposits at no extra cost. Its more than honey. Its about building something for our family that will endure. There is tremendous vulnerability. These guys have been cheating for years. Years of lies, selfaggregation and the Echo Chamber of right wing media. Probably the worst way to hold elections. Some completely deny that fraud even exists. They would set the stage for many Trump Supporters to believe what would eventually become the biggest lie of all. The only way were going to lose this election is if the election is rigged. Remember that. Its going to be fraud all over the place. Again and again and again he told people that the election was going to be stolen. One of trumps main complaints, the increased use of mail in ballots overwhelmingly used in 2020 by democrats setting up a covid Year Phenomenon called the Red Maraje in key Swing States favoring last. You could see trump go way up, plateau, and go way down. This is cnns coverage of Election Night in america. Thats exactly what happened. Early Election Results seemed to favor President Trump, then turned. He would try to stop it. Trump has a press conference. Its in the middle of the night. He was trying to essentially declare victory before all the ballots had been counted. We were getting ready to win this election. Fra frankly, we did win this election. We want all voting to stop. That is not what democratically elected president s or candidates for the presidency say. Thats what authoritarians say. He called it a fraud . To count ballots . In the united states of america . Trump had primed the lie, spread the lie, and most of his supporters would only believe the lie. I said, were going to bed. Then i woke up and it was like, holy crap, what just happened . How are certain states red and at 4 00 in the morning all of a sudden become blue . Its called Counti Iing the votes, though. No, its not. Its called cheating. Viral videos and fraudulent News Stories painted a picture of fraud. It was all a lie. In georgia, look at this new Surveillance Footage well be showing you. Mysterious suitcases potentially filled, we believe, with ballots, rolled out from under a table. I saw videos where there was suitcases of ballots being produced that were all for Joe Biden. The mysterious Georgia Suitcases that coy Griffin Saw were actually bins of legitimate ballots. Election workers doing their job. Like other viral videos, there was no fraud. It didnt matter. Are you saying you dont think there was any fraud at all in this last election . Im saying all 50 secretaries of state who are in charge of elections, republicans and democrats, found no widespread fraud that could have tilted this election in any way. So im just wondering, where is the fraud . Whenever you have the President Of The United States making those statements this is a massive fraud. Senator Ted Cruz making those statements as well. And weve seen in the last two months unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. They hear a lot more. Theyre on upper Level Intelligence briefings. When you ever you have those high ups saying that yes, theres cheating, what do you do, you know . The Ballot Counting in key states continued. And on saturday, November 7 cnn projects joseph r. Biden jr. Is elected the 46th President Of The United States. Dont be ridiculous. Networks dont get to decide elections. Courts do. Actually voters decide elections. Trump and his allies would unsuccessfully take their stolen Election Case to court after court. Nearly 60 times. But millions of Trump Supporters, stuck in an Echo Chamber of right wing propaganda, news, and Social Media, would hear only of more and more allegations of fraud. They know they stole this and they also know were going to show they stole it. Will you accept Joe Biden as president . No, hell never be my president. How could that change at this point . There could be a civil war. You never know. The news cycle, day after day, was hit with things that were designed to look as if something bad was happening. Claims of fraud, claims of stolen ballots, misleading video, and Social Media platforms played a huge role in rapidly expanding those claims. We havent looked at all the dead people that voted, people without actual residences. Dead people voted. Explain that. But where did you get that particular news that dead people voted . Its on multiple sources. I dont have my computer in front of me so i cant look it up. I can find it for you. Just like the other Madeup Election tales you can find on the computer, the dead Voting Conspiracy Isnt true. Trumpappointed Election Security officials would be called to testify before congress, only to declare trump really did lose. This was a secure election. Of that i have No Doubt. In no way do i believe it wasnt stolen. No way . Period. No way. Even though all those people who watch elections theyre all bought. All of them . Yeah. Trumps own attorney general, bill barr, said this was a fair election. Yeah, to save himself. Trump would not accept defeat. He couldnt take an Election Loss, because Donald Trump wants his gravestone to read i won. He is preoccupied with this idea that he never loses. For Trump Supporters, Stop The Steal would be their battle cry. And what began online would take to the streets. We were on the Trump Train early on. Amy kramers group launched a Facebook Page that quickly went viral. And recycling an old tactic from her Tea Party days, she painted a bus and went across the country for trump. This is like Tea Party on steroids, amplified A Thousand times. Were going to be out here at the Stop The Steal rally. A right wing activist, ali alexander, would push his own Stop The Steal movement, Staging Protests and asking supporters to send him money to keep going. How much money are you making on all this . Zero. Zero. Im dedicating my time and my companys team. 1776 the Stop The Steal movements would merge into one major day of protests, december 12, in washington, d. C. President trump, buzzing the crowd in a helicopter, would energize his base for what was coming next. That same weekend, Donovan Crowell, the out of work alcoholic, attended a Training Camp in north carolina, according to prosecutors. Though Crowells Lawyer denies it. Crowell had been recruited into the Oath Keepers, a Paramilitary Group that opposes the federal government. Jessica watkins, who owned Thi Rural Bar in ohio, was the groups local leader. Bartender Julie Harvey says she saw the Group Meet every week. They were going to d. C. For the original million maga march. I was working, and i walked out on the patio and i saw them sawing the Pool Queues in half, putting on the zip straps. The way jessica explained it, it was just preparedness in case they were in harms way. Who are the Oath Keepers in your mind right now, based on what you know . Theyre a terrorist organization. Theyre white supremacist. You consider your son one . Yes, i do. I hate to say that, but yes. It makes me sad to say that. Yes, i do. With no realistic prospects of overturning the election in court, trump turned his Supporters Attention to the Day Congress would convene to confirm bidens victory. January 6th, telling them, be there, will be wild. President trump said come to d. C. , its going to be wild. Ive asked you to do two things. I asked you to vote and to go to d. C. I knew it was going to be history. Part of the reason January 6th happens is Donald Trump picked the place, the time, the locations. And everybody could organize around that. Ashley babbitt, the Air Force Veteran in San Diego, was making plans. I think my sister truly believed that them going there, they were going to change america for the greater. Both the Oath Keepers and proud boys would put out an all call for members to go to washington, d. C. On January 6th. All across Social Media, the date loomed with ominous posts. Operation occupy the capitol. We will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, Kill Federal Employees and agents, and demand a recount. Capitol Hill Police received numerous warnings of violence but failed to properly prepare. Criminal complaints would describe trainings, planning, and preparations for an insurrection. Joanne rowe says the real orders came from just one person Donald Trump. Its like theyre a cult. Hes got them brainwashed. Why, i dont know. I also think they believe so much in what trump was saying that they truly were believing they were following his orders. The lies, the anger, the escalation of violent rhetoric, had been building for months. Havent i told you all this fight would escalate . The day before january 6, crowds started pouring into washington, d. C. At a rally there, pastor Ken Peters would prepach ref lufgs. Revolution. We will rise up in this time and say like paul revere, the leftists are coming, the leftists are coming. Later that evening, trumps political Trickster Roger Stone would speak in biblical tells me. This is nothing less than an Epic Struggle for the future of this country between dark and light, between the godly and the godless, between good and evil. Ashli babbitt tweeted, nothing will stop us. In less than 24 hours, dark to light. To anyone paying attention, a Powder Keg of violence had been set and was waiting for a match. Its not going to happen like you think its going to happen, okay . Its going to be quite extraordinarily different. And all i can say is, strap in. All hell is going to break loose tomorrow.

Early morning, january 6, 2021. They will have to make it through about four different areas and then go through security. I think there was a heightened sense of the importance of that day and the pressure that have day. For aides to Nancy Pelosi Lisa and kelsey, it would be a big workday, the certification of the 2020 president ial election. In an exclusive interview they admit the growing number of Trump Supporters In The City were unsettling. My parents were definitely a little concerned for my safety going into work. My husband was a little bit worried. But everybody said, once youre in the capitol, youll be totally fine. All across washington, Trump Supporters had been turning out for hours. By the time we got up, which we thought was early, the line was so big, it was worthless to even get in line. So we just found a spot out there in the sea of people where we thought we could see a little bit and hear a little bit. It was absolutely packed. Pastor Ken Peters had spoken at the d. C. Stop The Steal rally the night before. Coy griffin arrived early too, believing he would speak before trump. I went to the rally on the mall. I thought i was going to be able to speak at it which unfortunately i wasnt included in it. Yvonne st. Cyr began the day posting her excitement. Hello, good morning, were here we came off the metro, it was eerie. They had the roads blocked off and dump trucks. It just had a different sense of the air, all right, this is a little weird, but still, nothing to raise the hairs on your neck. U. S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn called into work for what he thought would be a routine day of protests. Saw the early crowds, and took note. These people had wrapped themselves in their flags. It was like nothing i had ever seen before. It was like a cultist mentality. There is an enormous crowd here. Its hard to get a Grasp Of . Im here because, uh, my president called me. The crowds were here for hours, watching speech after speech. Today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass this wasnt just a political show of Spo Aupport for the president. This was an historic day and an historic moment. Action might be required. Lets have Trial By Combat behind the scenes at the rally to save america, Donald Trump jr. Was all smiles. Do the right thing, fight but President Trump, reportedly in a bad mood, was glued to the monitors showing the crowds. Well wait to see what he has to say at 11 00 when hes set to speak. After that all these supporters will go to the u. S. Capitol. Members of the extreme right Wing Group the proud boys were already assembling at the cap tomorrows east side, flashing the okay sign associated with white power. Do you want to see all the proud Boys Today . Taking the fucking capital they had arrived in small groups, dressed without their usual proud boy attire, to blend in and equip themselves with radios for communication. Their day would begin with a prayer and a march to the capitols West Side. Two Men On A Mission with about 500 behind ready to kick some butt for the country. Josh pruitt, who would be among the first wave of proud boys to braeeach the capitol, claims he knew nothing of their plan. I didnt know anything about plans to breach the capital at all. I was part of the maryland chapter. There was probably 20 of us. We all hooked up like around 10 00 in the morning and that was down where trump was speaking. At the rally, trump was finally taking the staining and repeating his Election Loss lies. We won it by a landslide. This was not a close election. Members of the right Wing Militia the Oath Keepers, including Jessica Watkins, begin to lead the speech. We want trump watkins and Donovan Crowell make their way towards the capitol. She uses a Walkietalkie App to communicate to other Oath Keepers. Everybody is marching on the capitol, all million of us. Its insane. Were two blocks away from it now. And, uh, police are doing nothing, theyre not even trying to stoppis at t us at this poin. Now it is up to congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy and after this, were going to walk down, and ill be there with you. People from the ellipse where the president has spoken will start making their way up here. Back at the capitol, a Group Led by proud boys are Taunting Police at a small barricade. This is our capitol blocking the entrance to the Capitol Grounds north side. Then they make their move. Overwhelming officers. Usa back up [ shouting ] this is the fucking capitol, brother the proud boys are rushing the Capitol Police continue to fall back. As the house comes to order for this important historic meeting Usa Usa i started looking out and i saw a lot of commotion. This is not right. Are there any objections . On the floor of the house, paul gosar, the republican from arizona, who had previously been in communication with Stop The Steal organizer ali alexander, is launching his own protest. For what purpose does the gentleman from Arizona Rise . I rise both for myself and 60 of my colleagues to object to the, uh, counting of the electoral ballots from arizona. So there you have it, the first objection. Theyll be separated now. I didnt have a view into the Outside But Somebody texted me a photo of people on the inaugural platform and that was the first time i thought, wow, i cant believe were at this point. It was almost the same moment Donald Trump was delivering this prophetic line. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you dont fight like hell, youre not going to have a country anymore. So were going to walk down pennsylvania avenue. Outside the walls of the capitol, mayhem. A member of the proud boys got his hands on a Capitol Police riot shield. Theyre throwing bricks at the capitol you hear officers on the Radio Screaming for help. Harry dunn, stationed on the capitols east side, races to help his comrades on the west and is stunned at what he sees.

Its just like, help, help you had officers coming up the steps, bloodied. And you think to yourself, oh, my god, what is happening . Just seeing the fear in some of these officers faces. Im sure it was present on mine because i was scared, i was absolutely scared. Just seeing that fear. Its something i dont think ill ever forget. A full Scale Riot is under way outside the capitol, leaving the rally down pennsylvania avenue. Yvonne st. Cyr has no idea what awaits her. I was so excited to get to the capitol, i just wanted to see what was going to happen. So, umm, 1 11, we started marching. 1776 Alex Jones, the Conspiracy Theory profiteer, with the organizer of Stop The Steal, ali alexander, in tow, begins his own march to the Capitol Grounds. This is history in the making i literally skipped with my flag all the with a Toyota Capcall the way to the capitol. Theres an estimated 3 Million people here. There is a sea of nothing but red, white, and blue, patriots for trump. At 1 26 p. M. , u. S. Capitol Police Order the Capital Complex to begin evacuations. Two minutes later, a call is made requesting the national guard. Pipe bombs are being investigated nearby at the headquarters of the dnc and rnc. Hold the line whoa, this is bad, this is bad.

Armed with sticks, flag poles, riot shields. Whose house our house they had overpowered police who could do little but coax and steer them away from lawmakers. My Challenge Today is not about the good people of arizona. Stand in recess until the call of the chair. The rioters werent just in the building. At the moment the senate adjourned, they were streaming straight toward the Senate Chambers and Vice President Mike Pence. Senator Mitt Romney is about to head straight into a mob but is intercepted by a single Capitol Hill Police officer. A moment later, that same officer, eugene goodman, somehow coaxes the mob away from the senate and straight into a Waiting Row of Capitol Police. My hero. Gene is great. He did a great job. There were a lot of eugene goodmans that day that did a lot of graeat, heroic things, and people will never know their name. There are now hundreds in the mob. You work for us roaming halls, banging on doors, taking photos and videos. Defend your constitution defend your liberty some members of congress are being escorted to safety but behind doors, staffers and News Media are in hiding. I remember telling my colleagues, we need to go into lockdown. Inside House Speaker Pelosis office, her staffers rushed to a conference room, locked the door. Among them, alisa and kelsey, speaking exclusively to cnn. Then we started hearing the banging. And, like, the hooting and the hollering. Nancy nancy very close to us. There you go, brother. Then i realize, okay, music off, Everybody Silence your cellphones, turn the lights off, do not say anything. Were coming for you, nancy it was menacing. Can i speak to pelosi . They were like, wheres nancy, wheres nancy, where are the people that work for her. They had barricaded themselves in, hoping the door would hold. The din was coming from all directions. We heard somebody yell, i found Nancy Pelosis office. People were chanting, nancy, nancy. They came through this way. So were hearing it from behind us and in front of our door. So it was completely the sound surrounded us, to the point were just hearing shouting and the yelling and the banging and the crashing and shattering of glass. But then once they started banging on the door, thats all i heard. Thats what i still think about, the door sound. One of us said to the other, they take us hostage, right . I said, yeah. I think. That was one of the few words i said out loud in the room. One of the staffers whispers a phonecalled plea for help. We need Capitol Police. Theyre banging the doors, trying to find her. It was pure terror. Where are you, nancy, were looking for you. It was the way he was chanting her name. It haunts me. He was not going to be nice if he found her or someone associated with her. It could have been multiple men that were doing that too. I mean, we dont know. Nancy where are you, nancy . We didnt know what was actually happening because it was just the eight of us in a completely dark room and all we could hear was what was outside. Inside the halls of congress, the mob refuses to stop. Stop The Steal Stop The Steal outside, more and more are trying to get in. In the midst of the massive protest, what appears to be a single file Military Column climbs the eastern staircase as the crowd sings. These are the Oath Keepers. And in the column is joanne Rowes Son Donovan Crowell. I never dreamed he would never do anything like that. Never. Its just heartbreaking to me. Its alleged the Oath Keepers had stashed weapons in a nearby hotel, had been planning, practicing Military Tactics since the election. Now over radio communications, they were broadcasting their triumph. We are in the main dome right now. We are rocking it. Theyre throwing grenades, theyre fricking shooting people with paintballs. But were in here. Get it, jess, do your this is what we lived up for, everything we trained for. In almost every corner, inside and out. Many battles are raging. [ shouting ] its over you better run, cops Police Officers are being crushed, trying to keep the surging mob from gaining entry to the lower west tunnel. [ screaming ] one officer, daniel hodges, screaming as his body is pressed into the door. Officer Michael Fanone had heard the Radio Calls and rushed to help. This is not a law enforcement operation. His Body Camera captures the moment he faced the mob of thousands. We were in a medieval battle. This is hand to hand combat in its most brutal form. The rioters had come armed and were fighting to get inside. They hit police with bats, sticks. Batons. Tasers. Guys were bleeding. These were officers that i think under normal circumstances, they would be in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. But they werent because there was nowhere to go. If you left that line, we were going to lose that door and that just wasnt an option. Fanone trying to defend the line. Was yanked across it. I was pulled away from the other officers out into the crowd. I got one video would capture Fanone Being tossed, pulled, beaten. His own Body Camera a jumble of confusion and violence. Getting the shit kicked out of me, that was the Ass Kicking of a lifetime. You were in a police uniform. Yes. The mob grabbed for his gun. Someone repeatedly tased him in the neck.

Then the former Army Ranger with more than A Hundred Combat Mission in iraq and afghanistan, plotted to escape. There was a part of me that was thinking, if this Mob Breaks through those doors, theyre going to try to kill us all. And i need to do what i need to do to protect myself, protect my colleagues, protect others. On the capitols Front Lawn the mob was becoming incensed. Donald trump had just tweeted. Mike pence didnt have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution. There was a scaffold and a noose and chants of hang Mike Pence. Hang Mike Pence security is now whisking pence and his family down a back stairway. I think trump wanted the crowd to turn into a mob. I think he wanted them to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College votes to give him more time to play out some other scenario that might yet end up with him being president. And thats the most dangerous part. Not the crowd in the capitol, although that was sad and tragic. The worst part was Donald Trump himself. We came this far, what do you say . Drag them out back inside, Ashli Babbitt is approaching a mob that has reached the doors of the house speakers lobby. Its a hallway that leads directly to the floor of the u. S. House of representatives, members and their staff just steps away. Reinforcements arrive. Three uniformed officers holding the doors step aside. All that separates members of congress from the mob is a Wood And Glass door barricaded with furniture. Hes got a gun in that split second, Ashli Babbitt tries to climb through a broken window. Thats one of the hardest parts about seeing the video, is you just want to grab her and shake her and be like, damn it, ashli, why did you have to do that .

At 3 13, Donald Trump would make his first response to the violence, tweeting, i am asking for everyone at the u. S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order. I dont think the people that came to the capitol that day had a lot of respect for my coworkers and i. This is insane. Lawmakers, including republicans, calling in to cnn, were astounded at the president s detachment. The election is over and the objectors need to stop meddling with the primal forces of our democracy here. So call it off, mr. President. We need you to call this off. President trump did not call it off. On a Perch Overlooking the crowd, Alex Jones begins to spin the lie, antifa was causing the violence. We have the witnesses, we have the phenomenally.

Trumps reaction was they must be more upset than you are about the Election Results. Donald trump is watching this on television. And i wondered, what is he doing to stop this . I think we know now, he didnt do anything. Not doing anything while the capitol was being Desecrated I Felt was unforgiveable. Pastor Ken Peters says he didnt make it to the capitol until later. There were still people all over the stairs, waving flags, standing, letting their voices be heard. People bashing through windows, fighting with cops, do you believe that did happen . I do. I do. And was it right, wrong . It was horrible. It was terrible. As christians, we stand but we dont riot. Christians are never to be destructive.
