Shortly after 2 p.m.
The Capitol Police and metropolitan police were overwhelmed by President Trump
Mob perimeters were broken the capitol
Have been breached
Those officers kept fighting back for hours and hours to hold the line they fought to defend the Capitol building
And all of us within it but they weren't there just to protect us and they do
And our staff and the custodial staff and all the people who work so hard in this building
They were there to protect the votes of the American people that were being counted that day
I will show you more later about what that day was like for those Brave officers
But first let's go back to what was happening or manager Plaskett left off in the house chamber
Riders would enter the building through the Senate quickly spread out through the capital many headed toward
The House and Senate chambers after speaker Pelosi was ushered out chairman Maga
Residing in the house
Attempting to keep the counting process going on our phones
Members were receiving security updates and watching social media to see the horror that was going on out
Outside we never thought it would make its way in
I-225 p.m. Riders who were already in the building open the East Side
Tours of the Capitol rotunda to let more of the mob in they quickly flooded through the doors
Overwhelmingly officers
This is new security footage of those doors and as before the mob decide
Identified with the Red Dot on the model of the capital if you look closely you'll see the first person through the door
It's holding a trump flag
At the same time just one floor below the mob violently pushed through a line of capital play
Police officers and overtook the area we all know that area and the capitals decrypt this is directly

The house back into session but only four minutes later at 2:30 p.m. the house abruptly reset
A new security announcement was made
Get down on your chairs if necessary so we have folks entering the
Honda and coming down this way so we'll update you as soon as we can
Cuz I heard that announcement on the floor
I saw the new house chaplain I'm just her fourth day on the job walk to the front podium
Unannounced and amidst the chaos she started to recite a prayer for peace
Uncertain what would happen next I sent a text message to my wife
I love you and the babies
Please hug them for me
I imagine many of you sent a similar message what we cannot see from inside the chamber
Was that outside the mob was growing larger and larger
Approaching our doors
But we could hear them
The security footage
Which does not have sound shows a close-up of Trump's mob as they move toward the second floor of the house too

Who are overwhelmed and trying to get them out
Throughout this presentation we have been very careful to not share where members of Congress were taken on the path 6
Followed
To get out and off the floors
But that very issue was under discussion by the insurrectionist themselves one example comes
FBI affidavit stated that a leader of a militia group known as The Oath Keepers receive message
Just walked he was at the Capitol the leader was given directions to where representatives were thought to be Sheltering
Instructions to quote turn on gas

Officer Goodman had encountered a mob and let them upstairs and away from the Senate chamber
You know how close you came to the Mob some of you I understand could hear them
But most of the public does not know how close these rioters came to
Do you
As you were moving through that hallway
I paced It Off
You were just 58 steps away
From where the mob was amassing and we're police were rushing to stop them
They were yelling
Amidst security video you can see how the Capitol Police created a line and block the hallway with their bodies
Prevent Riders at the end of the hall from reaching you and your staff
Because this is security footage that you have not seen before on Play It Again
The top of the screen

Was in lockdown for 5 hours
As long as it took to get back
To the capital to get back to the certification of the election it could have been so much longer
Or we might not finish we might not been able to have resumed at all as
Horrific as it was a hundred and forty officers injured 3oz for officers who ultimately lost
Misterwives we all know that awful day could have been so much worse the only reason it
Was not was because of the extraordinary bravery of the men and women of the Capitol Police
Please in the Metropolitan Police Department's for hours and hours bees in Surrey
Passionist were in hand-to-hand combat with these brave men and women

I was on the ground and blinded and they started attacking outside
Riders crushed officer Hodges he was wedged in the doorway blood dripping from his

Officer Hodges experience reminds me of what he and many other officers experience that day
What they went through we're also reminded of the three officers

New enforcement families we pray for our loved ones
And we know the scripture of Matthew chapter 5 verse 9
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God

How blessed we were that on that hellish day
We had a peacemaker like officer Hodges protecting our lives our staff's lives
