Oh, Mike Pence . Were coming for you, too. Reporter witnesses told the fbi, some would have killed anyone they Got their Hands On. Where are you, nancy . Were looking for you. Shes in jail. Nancy. Oh, nancy. We want trump we want Trump Reporter it was the biggest threat to american democracy, since the civil war. You dont fight like hell, youre not Going to have a country, anymore. In a joint collaboration, Nbc News and the online selective group, bellingcat, have reviewed, and in cases, Uncovered Thousands of hours of cctv footage, intercepted audio, and cell phone video. Much of it, taken by the rite rioters, themselves. We have identified more than a dozen critical moments and individuals, that, together, show the attack was, both, planned and improvised. While police were completely overwhelmed. At noon, in front of the white house, President Trump is making a final bid to stay in power. We will never concede. It doesnt happen. You dont concede when Theres Theft involved. Reporter he is urging his supporters to stop congress and his Vice President from certifying Joe Bidens victory. Using the pretext of the China Virus and the scam of mailin ballots. Democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous Election Theft in theres never been anything like this. Its a pure theft in american history. Everybody knows. Stop the steal reporter while trump is still speaking, 1. 35 miles away, across the heart of washington, d. C. , a crowd is gathering by the Peace Monument in front of the u. S. Capitol. Usa Usa Reporter there are only a fewhundred people here. But theyre ready for a fight. And theyre about to test the perimeters defenses. Like in all battles, the terrain is critical. The Peace Monument, where the small crowd is gathered, is 205 yards from the capitols western steps. The Capitol Building sits atop a small hill, symbolizing it as the pinnacle of democracy. Its situated 50 feet above the Peace Monument. Six small sets of steps separate the two locations. At 12 53, the small group of protestors, by the Peace Monument, makes a firsttentative move to breach the capitol perimeter. They remove the fencing. At first, only a few cross over. Dont do it. Reporter others urge them not to. They dont realize they will get shot. Reporter but the police do not stop them. Let alone, shoot. Emboldened, the trickle, soon, becomes a flood. Seconds after crossing the outer fence, without resistance, the protestors are blocked by police. In multiple videos, from different angles, we counted fewer than 20 officers, up against Hundreds Of Trump supporters. The police are overpowered, in 65 seconds. The crowd rushes toward the capitol. Theyve only Gone a few yards, but they did it easily. The dam has been broken. At the front of the pack is Dominic Pezzola. 43 years old, Dominic Pezzola lives in rochester, new york. He graduated from a catholic high school. Classmates tell Nbc News, he was a gifted athlete, on the boxing team. After graduating, he joined the marines, serving six years, never deploying. His Military Service was a source of immense pride. But his finances appear not to have been stable. Over the lastfive years, he owed Tens Of Thousands in back taxes. Some who knew him told the nbc rochester affiliate, hed grown increasingly bitter and confrontational. At 12 59, pezzola and the others surge right up to the western steps of the capitol. But this time, they are stopped by a largerpolice presence. Inside, congress is meeting in a joint session to confirm president elect Joe Bidens victory. Normally, the Certification Process is a formality. But donald j. Trump refuses to accept he lost. We fight like hell, and if you dont fight like hell, youre not Going to have a country, anymore. Reporter just after 1 00 p. M. , trump finishes speaking by the white house. Lets walk down pennsylvania avenue. I want to thank you all. God bless you, and God bless america.

The capitol is like a wedding cake. In front of it, are three, main tiers, linked by staircases. Two sets of bleachers have been installed over the stairs. To be viewing stands, for president elect bidens upcoming inauguration. The bleachers, on the left, will prove be a weak point in the capitols defenses.

Outside, word, quickly, spreads. Just rejected arizonas vote. Is about to get real. Police Fire Flash grenades. But the attackers are unrelenting. We will not bend. We will not break. The crowds that attacked the u. S. Capitol were not ordinary protestors. And many came prepared. A detailed examination of the hand symbols, flags, insignias, and patches, reveals that many were conspiracy theorists, gunsrights activists, antiGovernment extremists, or members of Hate Groups and militias.

In this video, shot by a West Virginia lawmaker, Officer Dunn is seen trying to reason with the group of protesters. What about the fact that you are a black officer and there were guys in there who were wearing Camp Auschwitz tshirts . Was being a black officer there a different experience for you . Was that a big factor for you . It was a time, one instance, it was off of the rotunda area, and i was still holding the hallway. And these people are standing there yelling. So i started talking to them, started talking about why theyre there and Joe Biden didnt win the election and its stolen and i started talking about me voting. I voted for Joe Biden. Did my vote not count . And then one person said, you hear that . This N Word voted for Joe Biden. And they just started booing. And the people that were with them joined in with them and said yeah, this N Word, f you. This N Word voted for Joe Biden. F you, f you. Boo. What do you think it means about the state of america, where we are today . Youve had a little bit of time now to process it. We have a long way to Go. Weve Got a long way to Go.
