Hey guys this is
Steve Baker
TPC of the
Pragmatic Constitution
I am watching this video with you right now just
Very quickly let me just
Give you a little bit of
Introduction to this
By the time this video is starting
I'd already taken quite a bit when the
Crowd was much thinner
And I will not
The reading from a script here today
At all
I am going to add live this all the way through
Watching it with you as we go commenting as we go
This is highly edited down to about I guess an hour and 5 minutes ish
And it is not representative of the full scope of everything that I have but I wanted to kind of give this to
Do you and I
Sequence of events as they
Transpired over the course of the day
The podcast
That is available now

2 these are scenes taken at the Washington Monument lawn Mela
I want addresses crowd size issue
We ran some numbers this morning myself and friend of mine
If you give everyone 6 square feet of space
You can fit
8000 people on an American size football field
6 square feet of their own space 8000clx 1.32 a
And the Washington Monument lawn is 806
Acres
And at least two-thirds of it was just jammed packed
This we can't even see the ellipse here where the stage was we're so far away it's not even possible to see it
But the ellipse itself is 52 Acres
So if you if you just take half of the Washington Monument size
And end of the totality of the ellipse eyes
That's over 600.000 people
And that is an incredibly conservative estimate by virtue of what we were able to see with our own eyes
So if you if you stop this video depending on what device you have and you can scan in and you can take a look particular
Barely just
Zoom in
At the shots of the Washington Monument cell isn't absolute
Frequency of people and yet the news media has is completely blacked out
We did a search on Google this morning we searched in every way every word combination we could think of
And you cannot find overhead images that reveal the the
The scope in the size of this crowd now there are a lot of people out there overestimating it saying that it's 2 million or 3
Million people
And there certainly were not
That many by my estimates but
I
I am
Way way way on the conservative side saying that there were six to eight hundred thousand and
Cuz I cannot see how far left and how far right from what ostensibly is this stage or the ellipse Direction
No idea
Largest
But I will tell you
That these reports that you're seeing from the media
That it was
A couple of tens of thousands of people or 25000 seen I've seen media reports saying it was his
Fewest 10000 people
Dirt flat
Outlying this is what we call the stalinization of information happening right now
Okay now this this
Racine right here this is so you can see out of zoomed-in to the video screen that we had out on the Washington mine
And this was just one single screen out there is way too small
Just
Tens of thousands of people were not able to see that
And that I was exactly when Trump walked on the stage at 11:57 a.m.
Mail
We did not stay for the entire speech
You can read all of this in the blog post and then the 9000 word story that I wrote
Which is also posted everywhere
But as we were walking towards of the
The Capitol building
I counted seven boulevards if you'd stop here and I counted on both sides
7 Boulevard
Of tens of thousands of people just making their way up the mall and up the various
Streets and boulevards
On their way to the Capitol building now by the way this is way before Trump speeches even over this is
People were bored they were cold having it in the bathroom and forever
And they were headed there now when we got to this
Area I
Saw a lot of activity up on the first level above street level where there was just absolutely so
Something going on you can see smoke
You can see that there was some sort of serious activity and this particular video that you're seeing right now
Began begin shooting this at 1:19 p.m. by the time I got up there
You saw the police see the violence right there you see people going up and trying to pull the bike rack dating down
The first seen that you saw our people getting first aid for pepper spray being shot in their iuc militia guys
Is right here in full tactical gear
You seem alright you see the guy with the shield tonight The Shield is a is an antifa
Device that's something that they show up with to see the photographers showing up
Full face mask pack gear helmet
This was this was not a spontaneous thing that happened
As soon as Trump
Encourage everybody to go down to the capital this was this was taking place long before I got there
You can see the some of the officers are are wearing riot gear some have nothing protected on what
So every other than your covid mask
But wanted to get theirs at Shield again and again that's an ant if a device that's not something
More people show up to a peaceful are mostly peaceful rally with
But if you look through okay know there's different you see the guy with the umbrella no that's it that's a device that was learned by antifa
In their study of
Korean insurgent
Tactics is showing up with those
Umbrellas
And this is
A lot of
Fusion there's just an incredible amount of activity going on you can see there's more police Riot arrive
Driving at this point they're they're they're getting on the line
You can see behind me that there's already you know hundreds of people Gathering of there's there's one of the carnival bar
Parker's down there
And he's you shouting at the police
And you can hear all kinds of stories being told by these guys with the the bullhorns there's some of them
Them are just calling people into action some of them are taunting the police some of them are lecture
Ring the police on their constitutional duties and their the Constitutional are their oath of
The office and that they should have the right to
Ignore unlawful orders at taunting it was just a complete Non-Stop part of
The day but as you go through this crowd and the scenes that I'm showing right now
Just notice
How many
Gas masks are already on site
These people were prepared
They were there early some of them began Gathering as early as 8 in the morning
A congresswoman even tweeted out at 9:30 in the morning she was seeing crowds gathering around
On the Capitol building that is apparently by sometime lines where were the first gate breaches were happening or
Rephrase that work some of the
Capitol Police were opening the gates actually waving people and we've seen videos of that
The
Things to do if you are
Hitting pause button and if you're zooming in
Is to just take a count of the wide wide wide variety of of people that are out there but as
As I said before the most amazing thing
Is how many people
AR
Obviously prepared for violence
Prepared for
Type of
Riot activity in the
What type of police disbursement techniques
That we've seen for the last six months since the the George Floyd
Death of Minneapolis and then all the subsequent riots that have been going on since then
And and you'll you'll notice it that
Most of these people
If you go back and look at the crowd shots that I had earlier said that they were not wearing it right here they were not wearing helmets they were no
Not wearing body armor they were not wearing gas masks
But they came prepared for that and as I said most of them were here before and you can see some people are getting you know
The direct or indirect
Pepper spray
And
Same thing happened to me my my friend
One up here with me he took about eight or nine downwind shots and then he got the
Check out a Dodge and he moved up when so that he didn't have to deal with it anymore because the wind at this point is just coming
As you can see from the flags with and gets really whipping in our Direction so all of that activity over there
Whether it was the police spraying pepper spray into the crowd or as you'll see in
Several times you'll see
Long strings of pepper spray going back at the policemen again you don't show up at a piece
O'Reilly
With pepper spray guns and here's here's a
More elderly General Takis in the 70s
And he's up there you know he's up there going at it but I don't know how many seventy-year-old antifa guys are this looks to me like
Like another one of those guys who just got caught up in the emotion of the moment and listen to
The agent provocateurs the carnival barkers in
Worked his way into the front of the line or maybe was just
Watching and downloading and I don't know but there was quite a few older guys going up and pressing as well as young people
You cannot
By any
Means assume that just because they have Trump gear on that they are Maga people
Certainly in my estimation as I
Broken love the long story that that is published them all my social media pages right now there are
20
Ugh Maga people out there in this crowd right here
I would say ninety to ninety-five per-cent of his crowd are legitimate Trump supporting Magnifique
When you see this guy going up in and he's got goggles on
Alright
He knew that he was going to go prepared for anyone up there and got you know
Baton right in the chest by one of those cops but he's up there taunting them
And
Again I just don't see the typical run-of-the-mill everyday Trump supporter up there
Doing that having said that
They did in fact get drawn into those activities I did witness that myself and Shaw
People that were at the rally
They had no intention of getting involved in any way shape or form in any violence but they up there in the Heat of the Moment In
Fashion
Whether they felt that they were being patriotic or whatever a but it was
Very very very difficult I don't care who you were on care what side of the agenda that you're on I don't care who you are
What are your leftist or rightist conservative a liberal Republican or Democrat it's very
Very very difficult to stand inside of a mob scene like this
And not get swept up in The Passion of the moment one way or the other
Now they're there are
There are plenty of sayings
We're Maga people are trying to stop violence or trying to get people out of the violence they're trying to
Calm people down but there are
Equal number of the I look at their there's the the the the shaman the qanon shaman
Whatever you have the Viking do but that was my first I think that was my first shot of him I got him two or three times here
During these sob
These videos but you saw his shoulder and Tattoos go by
Very quickly if you want to run back and take a look at that
This is for Corston mostly a continuous stream
And as I said I would
Got hours of this Ohio
You can see it stops every once in awhile
And sometimes I stop the camera movement just because I was moving around trying to find a better vantage point or my show
Delta gets out of the
The spray the pepper spray cuz it was it was not pleasant I took an indirect headed but actually splatter off somebody else's
I don't ever want to experience that again
You can see the smoke behind the police line
I don't know if they are
Signal or somebody from the crowd threw that into the the police line but
Don't be some shots where you'll be able to see here in a little bit how chaotic it was behind the bike rack
Barricades ruc the
At this point
You'll see more and more police are gathering more and more riot gear there the reinforcements are coming out
They're getting two and three deep because he's guys are really pressing now and they're coming from they're coming from all sides
When you do stop
Frame by frame analysis of what's going on here right now
You you will see very specific antibiotics or happening
But you will also see
Maga guys that are being drawn into the skirmish
Amazingly to you see a lot of older guys in her but there were a lot of veterans out there
You know retired army Airforce Marines whatever
And they would go up and it would have
Essentially civil conversations with some of the cops
They would go up I heard these conversations it would explain to look you know that we've been supporting you guys up throughout the
Riots in Nationwide we supported you in the BLM riots here in DC when they
Streets On Fire
And we've supported you dinner in those things you know in and they will try to have a civil conversation with him and and then you know
That would usually been going to a lecture about their constitutional duties and responsibilities
The Constitution Duties are now
Obviously we can talk and debate
Philosophize imap4
Today's looking stop running up the rail there there's something happening at this point and look at the confusion behind the
Police line
Alright
I'm going to get into this but you see that big canvas scaffolding system this is all part of the inaugural address
Bleacher system that is being except
Set up
You can see your cops throwing a flashbang grenade some of them were shooting them with guns into the
Krowd
But look at the confusion behind the police line these guys are constantly having to run back for cover
Or just to get first-aid themselves because they're getting hit the getting Bush they're getting her having pipe
Coronavirus
Actual actual spin singers at the relief black fencing all over the area
That people were tearing down and breaking those was steel fencing intellect others this shaman
Again right there on the bottom left-hand corner now look at those particular guys with those particular Trump hats 45
I covered that in a post yesterday on all the social media you need to look that post up on
Facebook and locals in mewe and such
And
But these cops would have to retreat and get first aid themselves but there's something happening up under
Those bleacher sketchy there's some scaffolding right there and that one's not covered up in the top right-hand
Inside but on the other side the scaffolding has is wrapped by some canvassing
But you'll see here in just a few minutes why those cops were starting to jump up on the on the
Railing and running back to the top
Seems to have been I didn't know this at this point but you'll you'll know it it here in a little bit that there seems have
Then some
Attempts or maybe even some initial breaches that were taking place up underneath this scaffolding
Because that's where the real story a happens here in a few minutes at least from this side of the capital.
I'm on the west side of the capitol
Decide where the inaugural inaugural address will be taking place here in a few days and this is where this scene
It's from I have no idea was taking place on the
That's amusing little sign right there
Governor Cuomo
Josef Mengele
Probably real Chomper there
All right now we've got some guys up just talkin settle down a little bit but it would come in waves like this
Very rough very violent and then it would
Settle down for a little while
Then the provocateurs the carnival barkers were start waving people into the line again and getting going
You can see that there's there's both
Shows that here's a here's a gentleman
I just having a conversation
Cops
And
I heard and overheard those conversations for
The entire time that I was up here
I was getting the closest I could both of you know the document and the here as much as I could
This is my first Riot of this time I've never been to one another professional
I did not have any protective gear on whatsoever
I just had a ball cap was one of Yorktown a ball cap and
France Davis warm as I could I did have my camera gear had my tripod in my back pot
Backpack
Right middle the screen there's the Viking dude the
Qanon Shaman once again
Pretty cold and he's out there with no shirt on
So he's trying to access now this this Crush of people there trying to get up inside
That's Kaplan what I couldn't see and didn't know at this point
Is an inside that's Gavin with staircase which is why they were trying to get up there because that was the access to
Max level on the side of capital which is actually the main floor
Of the Capitol building this word you know that all the famous rotunda and the
Statuary Hall is also the level where the
The housing and Senate chambers are
And that's the level that that staircase underneath the scaffolding is going up to now you see this guy's with Pinot
Very large tank guns full of pepper spray
And I was keeping my eyes on those guys after I got no you seeing you see another guy here
Either yes or bottom left of kind of heavy heavy said dude now this this guy is just no other way to characterize that he
Joyd launching those flashbang grenades into the crowd
He was Adam
He was having a ball and he did it. you over and over there goes another one right there
I got I didn't get a direct hit but I had one explode about three or four feet away from him
And the bottom piece
Shrapnel piece almost bounced off the concrete and into my knee got a nice little bruised from that
But
The most part I was able to stay like just keeping my eyes open I was able to stay out of the way of
Hopper out of the direction of both those flashbangs and the pepper spray
Particular after I got hit by the spray the first time
But the
The really interesting part about this for me was how much I missed I missed a tremendous amount
If information could you give your eyes and your brains just cannot
Taken
What's happening
Situation seemly
And
He was only until that I started actually reviewing the video and take care of that I
Began to realize the enormity.
Flexcity live the first day of the crowd
Take out the signs
Of the different factions where they were militia factions were there they were just a people that were
They're to be at the rally that got sucked into this thing
Weather Bangor
Antifa
Yet chosen how I want to say that
Hurt all the time
Take it back
But by this point
There's
There's alot going on
That can't yet the same
Look they're here you can see some
Older and older veteran up in the middle of this
Melee up there trying to get up that he's wearing looks like his old uniform
He's an older guy Dude Looks like he's you know is 65
And
He's up there actually giving first aid to a another older gentleman who's gone down for some reason there
There is
Police activity up on the top of this
Scene where people are climbing up the the scaffolding piping and trying to get over and into the top
And and
They're taking some hits from David imagine spray and smoke you can see there she knows
20 smoke in the area as well but the D-League the teargas was completely ineffective the wind was blowing so hard it dissipate
Very quickly so that was not a lot of that
Smell it
How much cost you X boom there's a
Another flashbangs are trying to dissipate the crowd
And
Now you see if there's a parkour right there he's whipping the crowd into a frenzy trying to get them to move forward
Moving through with his bullhorn he is
Absolutely trying to keep this crowd intensified and
Active in
Moving
Moving that direction
Extinct
All right now here's another guy he's you know he's got it he's got an axe handle all right don't ask
No wax on there
Got an axe handle a little tiny American flag nail this guy right here right here he's doing
Play the big okay sign it with three percenter sign
This guy is in the close-ups on that you'll see Melissa Pat militia patches that show
And and
So you know I just don't believe that an antifa guys going to be up there
Enthusiastically in exuberantly given the 3% or something
And we will talk about the 3%
Racist symbols
4chan
Trolled
Started that hole
But
We know what that means to the
Malaysia people and
That is
What that guy was doing and he was God he was
Rationally intuitive meaning
These guys were pumped up their blood was flowing
And did matter what side I hear something you can see these photographers
These are these are some pros
There's there in advance there they were geared up they were ready for this they knew this was going to
Can see the credentials on the phone a couple of them down there in the
Hartford line
But these guys were already there when I got there and there was no way
If they left before
After Trump speech
Either getting pretty they're getting pretty aggressive here and you can hear people
Shouting back
Is that all you got you bastards you know
What else you got
Batoning each other did
It's
Ridiculous to think for a second
Dad
The beef people have
Any chance of breaking through this police line if the police really wanted to stop up now
Metropolitan right here police show up this point and now they're coming into the crowd and taking it to the crowd you can see that they're going
I'm getting
Andalusia guy working somebody over with a baton
But they're taking it to the crowd
And trying to
Aggressively interfere with some of the more dangerous and violent people
Pressing forward
They would identify him and come out and just really p.m. go out and pretty hard but even they
I retreated to this point to get behind the line
MBC they moved the barricade up a little bit and I was kind of attack if you saw all day when they would they would advance and there's a big boy
Grenade John
Shouting at people
Her Target
In most of the most of the spectators as you saw up on this level we're just hanging back there
Still got their Flags
I still you know they're shouting yourself anti-climatic
Right here he's got his towels got his water bottles he's got that petite that that 45
Toboggan on that Trump 445 toboggan that you see several times throughout the crowd with a very
It was like it was a
Breed-specific antifa cell
That used that particular cap as their
Identifiable piece of uniform right now this
This right here
It's kind of something I regret because I did once once that
Scrum line up underneath now look at this
This is
A fraction of the crowd that has
Actually made its way from
The ellipse in and Washington Monument over two of the capitol
What's tens of thousands of people just there
But I I started the video rolling here believe let me check my notes real quick
That was at
2:17 p.m.
Basically an hour after I got in there
They the police now have just opened up the
Stairways
They pulled back babe calm down
If you if you
Go back
A little bit on this particular video sequence right here yourself
Yourself you'll actually see a police officer standing over
On the right hand side that they're completely stood down there just chatting with each other now they're not even
But making moves others
There's three or four riot gear
Cops up on the left guarding one particular door they're not letting anybody near that door I don't know
What's in that door
I don't know who's in that door
I don't know whose office space or complex with us
This is on the the Senate side of the building so I have no
Idea who they were
Decking butt
Someone is open this door right here and you can see the free flow of people going in and any others couple guys I got
Neckties on in Mesa
Overcoats over their suit jackets guys look like pina deer hunters falling in behind with her chunk hats on
An Asian-American with his Trump stuff on gear on
But this line is moving up a wheelchair ramp pretty
Pretty quickly and going into the
West side of the Capitol building is there said this is more on the Senate side of the building at this point
Gretna having my camera on as I went up the actual scaffolding like
But if it was okay it was a huge change all of a sudden all the sudden the scrimmage
Stop
Start moving in it was cool amazing was like as I said
Michigan is like the police have been called down
If you do if you do pause here and do a stop friend back you're going to see some
Militia guys on one side very very intently watching the door and then you see another
Black guy and come black combat gear
It's also watching a door
And now
Everyone is headed towards the man of this guy on the left of the long beard that just pass if you starting to look at that he
He also had a very very heavy stick and I had like grip tape on it and that stick was made for busting heads busted
Things this was not
Hey something to show you show up at a rally with
I'm just
Trying to see what's going on here
I don't know whose offices is I don't know what kind of run this is at all they said I'm moving through very quickly just trying to cash
Actress much
Information as I can
And I'm
Person is overwhelmed cuz I've gotten no idea
Where we're going we were headed this going to happen I'm just following the story as the story unfolds
She people hugging each other their exuberant they're singing their chanting in the area know everytime USA USA
This is our house you know our house our house whose house our house things like that
This is this is not Statuary Hall but it's another room with a lot of stashed and look on the left
There's r45 hat toboggan hat guy
He is a classic and tiffa
Agent provocateur
He's the Carnival Barker in he doesn't need to be waving people in
But he's doing his job you see another one staying right in the middle of the crowd right there
And they don't have to be waving people in at this point they are but they're doing their job
They haven't assigned role assigned Duty and situation like this and removing people in
Civa helmets
Tactical helmets a lot of people wearing a protective vest of no different from different levels
And II
Sorry I haven't prepared myself enough to look
What this particular room was but it is in your room with
It's not that we're home
But this room really fills up and. bottlenecks in here for quite a while
And people are just Channing enjoying themselves received that you see the people that are there just
Kitten pictures and they're your work.
And they're represented by every type
Person that was in
In the
City that day
There's a lot of action to be seen when you go frame by frame in here and you stop you see conversations that occur
That are very interesting bushkin
Quarterback has been close enough to hear what was being said
But
Best way to view this particular saying is just a
Hit the pause button and go through frame by frame by frame and take a look
She got a bottom left-hand corner there he is chewing somebody out
Ayah cover that little episode in my blog post
9000 page r9000 word story
Astoria cover that particular conversation go frame by frame and some very interesting to watch how that from
Transpires
This is not a fight going on here this is just almost like there's been another door opener
He started at some point
And now the crowd that big bottleneck owes you know hundred plus people that are crammed into the smaller statuary room
Working away now down into another hallway.
Michelle Phan
Taking a tour of the Capitol before so I have no idea where this was headed I got up on a bench so I could get a
Better view of this in to get out of that Crush of people I had no desire to be done
That I did want to capture as much of it as possible
So that's why I'm up above everybody this morning I was actually standing on it
But
Again
Stop frame
Frame by frame
Just reveals a tremendous amount of information
As you go through this
I'll just let it enfold alright here we are it just basically within minutes opened into the Rotunda attorney
The camera opaganda
Once the crowd got proven
Walked into here
And so this is it this is just the capitol rotunda looks there's a very very thin crowd in here at this point everybody is
Dispersing in all different directions throughout the Capitol building so it's
Large Crush of people there's a
There's a giver
And
It looks like just another
Normal day of Tourism inside the Capitol Building at this point
Most people are for staying even
Inside the ropes people make
Phone calls
The texting
Obviously videoing
Taking pictures
Lots of selfies going on in here
There's no damage no destruction at this point of any kind every once in awhile you
You're here see somebody say don't do that don't do that so there's obviously some people in there that did not want damage and destruction app
This is actually in Pelosi's chamber this is inside
Again I don't know reiy right off the bat but you can see this is the first time I've seen tables over
Return there was a bookshelf in there that had been rifled through those papers everywhere
Watch here
There's an interesting gentleman and then these two guys right
They're with the gas masks on a think I'll catch them again
But I saw them coming out of one of the offices all together
You're going to have to go back I don't think know this guy is breaking up a Nancy Pelosi sign at Several of them were destroying a sign
And they were putting pieces of her
A big sign going into her office chambers of the Speaker of the House Chambers which is quite a
What's larger complex of offices as you might imagine in they were putting these pieces in their back pocket
The backpacks as souvenirs
And after this point I was the actual only destruction and
Looting as it were that I
I've seen
But that is a whole sequence in Pelosi's Hall you want to go back and you want to do a slo-mo through that
See some very interesting thing
This is Statuary Hall
This point
And again not a not a big crowd in here
Browser dispersing
All throughout the buildings at this point
But as I said before most stayed inside the ropes I was just getting
Video that guy grabbing a
Pedestal and I didn't follow that but I didn't cuz I didn't see it until I got to the Bendy all right
Straight ahead right over the top of these people
That is the entrance to the House of Representatives Chambers
These people
Heart pounding
You know there's a chanting
They are intent on the people on the other side of that door where I don't know at this point
In terms of sequence of events I'm not exactly sure whether the chamber has been
Emptied yet
I know that we've seen you the pictures and photos and the videos but
I was repositioning shut the camera off and all the sudden someone screamed you know tear gas tear gas in that entire
Mob you saw comes running out of there
And I wish I was this guy walking on the left right here has been in one of the FBI Most Wanted
Death photos
And
And I am now
Kind of just hanging around waiting for this tear gas to clear a little bit because
II
In my repositioning I actually missed
The the Stampede
But fortunately I was over again
Crawling up on a bench to get
Above everyone so that I could why wouldn't get crushed by the normal group of people that were pressing against the door
But I also had
Jaw camera to get that
Reposition in while I was doing that as when the tear gas and came in and
Everybody went running so now
Mostly cleared out that is the house chamber door right there we've seen pictures of it from the other side with people
Faces that broke some of those painted glass and look at the cops are
Something's changed
The mood is completely changed at this point and there's a couple of officers here that I actually recognize from outside on the
Streamline
But some of them were covered in all kinds of powders we just passed a guy with a fire extinguisher at is
Feet actually getting a
From one of the policemen I don't know what his situation was for
What's your gas or whatever
And this is this is now
A completely different feeling
In the rain
The
Police officers are radios or barking very loudly there's something going something has happened
This is a roughly
235 2:36 p.m. somewhere in there
This officer is trying to actually explain to me and a couple of other cameraman behind me
Bet
This is not them so we're weird conversation again it's covered in detail in my blog post
But he's a peach trying to explain that this is not them creating this panicked this problem which is weird
I mean
There's a lot of people in there the Austin so you're not supposed to be inside this building
But he's explained to us that the problem right now is not the cops but there have been shots reports
Shots fired this guy was out on the Streamline too I got video of him earlier and he's he's pretty he's pretty
Harry didn't rattle now you see a lot of automatic weapons
Is that the uniformed officers right there the green color. Those are ATF
Police
The actresses ATF police not ATF
Agents
And they've all got to fully automatic rifles at this point
Big guns are coming out now those have not been out but they're not projecting that on
The people in the building or something else going on
There are some people on the floor in the other side they're bigger than that other hallway
This guy came down the steps I had his hands up how they patted him down and then send him on his way that those stairs
Right on the left is where I will leave in just a few minutes myself
And
As I said I'd seen this guy out on the initial battle line
Well is that gentleman right there
And they are
Nervous as hell this you can cut the tension with a knife at this point you can can count five
456 officers with their guns around this cat right in the middle is particularly on edge he's particularly nervous
At one point
He's so on edge that guy right there and I actually asking I do put that away
What I wasn't worried about the Luc he's holding
He's holding
There were other guys with their with their weapons drawn
Four guys with automatic rifles
This guy was making me nervous
He had been through it already I'm not saying he had an itchy trigger finger
He just had that in a look in his eyes that
Don't move I'm a forensic and I even unit 1.2 surgery you're not going to use that on me are you
This guy is complaining about the boat
Probably hear it
I'll let you hear what he's saying
Very very shortly thereafter
I was going to reposition and I turned off my camera regretfully so because I
Missed one emotion important episodes of the entire
Seen you can see now that you're in the background there's accounted
My going very slowly I counted over two dozen of the capital cops now coming up under there
They're coming up to that particular side of the stairwell stairway Lobby
To clear out
The protesters on the other side
I'm just going to jump forward here and tell you that this is the door I exited this is right after I walked past
Ashley Babbitt actually saw her receiving
CPR
6 feet from me on my left side as I came down the hallway towards this door entrance right here
Hi
I am actually inside of police line right here inside the police barricades you can see cops was walking right past me or not
He's on his phone
He didn't care that I'm standing there inside their barricades
And I'm waiting
Cuz
Here's your the door opens in just in about 30 seconds here you going to see Ashley bad at on a journey coming out in
Working on her very heavily
I just passed her inside that hallway every count this in great detail on the blog go back in that check that out if you want to see this
Story on this
But I wanted the position up because I the EMTs were coming into that doorway just as I was coming
Out
And here they come there
Very heavily
Guarded with the automatic rifles for the police are in there she is this is good the
Retired Air Force veteran
Killed
And you can see they're pumping on her very big bigger sleeve the sightline clears up here in just a minute
A few seconds rather here it is in this it's that point
I was the first time I realized it was a girl I thought it was a command even the cop
Told me that he
I was shot
The cop that was explaining it to me did not even know that it was a female but obviously in that show
. if you stop frame you can see you're very bloody face you can see
Complete blank
She's completely gone at this point
And and then obviously there was a bare breasts as their shirt was off so it was very evident that she was a female
This point and I recognized her as a female just without going back and looking at the video.
So now that they've taken her out I'm deciding to get
On the other side of this police barricade
So I'm moving that way then that none of these guys are bothering me they're walking right past when you see him
They're not worried about me I think it has a lot to do with just the way I was carrying myself
I was presenting no threat whatsoever it look like I should be there I think probably lick the camera tripod and all that
Put them at ease cuz I never
Had a problem the entire day
How would being in a
Grass pushed around directed or whatever
And this is
Unfortunately
Miss babbits a blood trail
African shoes on the Green
Heading to the ambulance
At this point
Have no idea where I'm going I have no idea what I'm going to do I just know that
How to get this much more on on video is
I can
And I fart timelines are concerned that was
Look here
That was just after 3 because it was 259
Exactly
2:59 p.m. when I started
Shooting video of that outer doorway
And that was only in a just a few seconds before we solve
The gurney
So this is just shortly after 3 here
Now I'm on the Eastside I believe of the
Capitol building
You can see there's still thousands of people on that side
I have no idea
Well in terms of eyewitness what type of
Puno
Scrimmaging
Battlelines
Performed on that side
If any at all
I think I've seen some videos of some
Activity going on that side
But as you can see here
Reinforcements are coming in from various
Police agencies both
In the other there is a funeral
You're cops state troopers in such coming in from Maryland
There I can't
Noisier tell
Without stopping the video
Which particular agency this wise
Some of you will stop it and I look at the patches but
The heavyweights are coming in now this point
Not sure
Exactly where they're headed what their intentions are what their orders are have no idea but
They are not taking any Guff from the crowd they're being there being taunted they're being chanted at their being
Ridiculed their being you know
Lectured on their constitutional duties
Are you guys working for your paycheck or you working to defend your oath post
But they obviously have orders to go in one particular area and they are headed that way
Can't tell if they're all the same agency or not or if they're
A mixed group but obviously it's
Premixed uniform
But they're ready
It's been a lot of time following
Guys later on
Just
To see where they're going
Ica
I'm not being stopped at all right now
This is a huge jumping timeline I've taken a break I've actually left the capital of went
Finally found a restroom after
9/6 hours of
Having the eye
Found a sandwich shop at this point I'd already done two interviews with the wsa channel 9 the CBS app
Billy Akin
And DC
By the time I had walk about a half a mile away to get to those
Facilities
And I was
Gosh I probably in the five
30pm sodium's quite a job
From the
After
3
311 when you saw the daytime
Lineup of
Police
Coming in a reinforcements coming
To this scene where they're
Clearing out now
Every
From the cow
Program so this is
5:30 or after this point
And they are intently moving everyone off
I said I had to walk
An hour an hour
Power but a half a mile
To the sandwich shop
And then
I had a sandwich in the night
Walking Half Mile
Outback and during a time I should do another interview with
Wusa9 they called me on my phone
They
Shared some footage with them and they wanted some more interviews based on the footage that I'd given them
And that particular interview was
Hatchet job
I cover that in my
My block
So
There's all different
Types of police agencies now
Federal and local
They're forming these lines and pushing people back
And again I'm staying as close to them as possible just to get you know
To be honest with you I've never been in a situation like this
And
It was important to me to be as close to the action
Possibly could I'm I'm not a hyena
I'm not a war correspondent I'm not a professional
Riot
Bloggers like
Tri-Cities
Made a career now especially since the George Floyd.
Government types of
The bath soap
This is all new to medium
I'm
I'm in Virgin Territory myself and I'm learning as I go
And I certainly learned much much more after going back and watching these
Particular videos
Slow motion but is entering to see how they form these lines so they would
They would form the lines they were slowly pushed back then they would become stationary again they would line up
And then they would spread out and
Because you know
Cuz you're moving further and further your perimeter away from the capital you got to have more police
2
Extended
The parameters were very tight at first
More and more and more reinforcements are coming the National Guard is not here yet
You'll see them in a few minutes but they are on their way
Both of the Army National Guard and the Air Force guard or both
And
And this is incredible shot for me I actually posted a still shot on the social media pages of
These lineups of writing your cops with the
Capital
No dome in the background which I thought was
Surreal moment
To think that this way
Happening Here
Nation or nations
Cattle
At this point
They have a pretty static
Line
And this is this is all the way off of the property
And at the
They've got everybody off the property they got the bike rack line as you can see there
And they're not moving for quite some time
They're very static for quite a period of time
And there's no there's no real there's there's there's no violence at this point by the time I got back after
Grabbing a sandwich and using restroom
And doing that interview
It was you two hours later and the violence is that was completely
Out of sight if there was any whatsoever but this was now like a visual that was taking place on
1st Street across the street from the east side of Capitol building
And somebody had a huge PA setup actually had a
PA with table set-up and they were playing
Songs I don't know if I because I have the audio off here if I don't know that
If you can hear the audio here at this point or not
But I have it I have it off so it's not bleeding through this particular microphone so but you know I heard you know
All we are saying is Give Peace a chance and I heard other you know
Hold the sixties and early seventies you know war protest songs
They were playing
And it was just a
Very very peaceful gathering at this point
Nobody is doing anything you know illegal nobody is doing anything
In any way shape or form that's aggressive towards the the police line
It's just a
There's a lot of stragglers from the
The rally there their and they're just there to experience this moment and in our our history at this point as I can
Imagine because I said there's no no violence going on whatsoever but
There's the bullhorn guys and the other door still
Variously chanting things to the crowd in that the cops are there still some Taunton there are still quite a bit of taunting
Of the police officers going on at
But job
They're not
Attacking them in any others know
No pepper spray there's no teargas there's no billy clubs going on
There's nobody being aggressive in either
Any directions now
Interesting Lee now this whole
A group of FBI agents are showing up and I have no idea which way they're going but you can see they got some zip ties so
I can only imagine that they're there to support
The actual police line I don't know these guys were there to do any investigation or not
But they're there aren't they got their sidearms on and they've got some zip ties with him so
The only thing I can
Think I was
They were there for crowd control as well they just
Have the
The gear of the other agencies
But they are
Heading to that line
And again
I want to see what they're going with they're doing so I'm
Following them with interest
Just left the scene developed for you here itself
It's not entirely interesting in any way shape or form other than just
Evidence of the
Continued
Supply of reinforcing there's people doing so
Shelby's
Jubilant
Atmosphere at this point it's not a protest at
Anyway shaker
Except for the few
Five Guys on bullhorn
Calling out
There
Concert chance at the police and then
Kind of
Pump up the crowd
Whatever reason
Could have edited this down more tightly I just was grabbing as much as I could from the
Hours worth of video I had just two
Get this down to round
Our
I really didn't
In any way shape or form professionally put this
Together I'm
Going to be doing this with Scott here in a couple of days we're
We're going to meet up and then
Really
Keep me out
Zooman and Kion some of these frame-by-frame themes that I put found in caps
As I've gone through this
There's a lot of
Credibly interesting moments
Reply by way too fast in real time
Not only do as your own
Not only to your own eyes and your own mind
Catch them
But it's impossible we're going to
Its 90-plus percent
Everything is going on
Just
Is it possible to
To see with your
Unreal
And then when you
When you add to it the amount of activity particularly in the
When the violence was happening
The riots in the pressing in the
The scrimmage was taking place with it there's so much
You're probably losing
98% 99
The information
Particularly when I was just wanting to know
Particularly Keaton on the
The guys with
Pepper spray gun
I had the camera going you know
Tremendous amount of time I was up there on that scrimmage line.
But I
Keeping my
Two eyes on
Pepper spray gun
Once you get that once you don't ever want that
So we've got different agencies arriving and shortly here after they're going to start pressing everybody where made
Maybe they have at this point I don't know if
How much I've stopped
It started during this
Particular sequence
Again
I'm
Fascinated by the scene of that
Capital
Dumb lit up
Find this right place
Something you would
Hope you would never see here in
Our country
There it is
And I hope that you would never not want to see it regardless of your
Political
Location
The first time that police have been used
To defend against a piano political agendas one way or the other certainly
Capital Lighting
It happened a lot in the last six months as well
They had to be called out again
Balamb and Aunt
The directly post George Floyd
Here today they're being
Called-out against
A mixture of
Trome
Supporters
Maga guys
Militia
I still can't say
Can't decide weather on Tuesday
Antibiotic
Educate me on
I'll go there
New screws out here for still international news crews I was hearing Spanish slang
Which authors the
Now eating then we have the arrival of the national
I heard Spanish I heard German I heard Chinese
I heard some other
Sound like a different to European are Eastern European languages I couldn't quite nail down
And
This is the first arrival at least at this part of the Capitol building of the Nash
Guard
And they
AR
Just kids
Most of them are just absolutely children
And they were they were nervous dated not
Be there they at some of these guys had
Fear in their eyes or
There were a lot of really young
Small framed ladies on the line
Literally girls you know
I'm looking at girls younger than my children
Carrying Shields and batons and riot gear
And it's
You know there's there's no telling what they thought that they were coming up against
But
Fortunately for these children on this line I hear they weren't
Here
You know 4 hours earlier when
The real conflict was going on a six-hour
5 hours earlier
Because
These kids are scared and they didn't know what to expect and I can tell you right now with your submissive guy with my name I just
Accidentally saw it up from the Air Force Garden
Zoomed in on that
Mister Baker there
Hermandad
Thought that was amusing
But
Hope that I
I know that I've saved some of these and other videos were got really close to some of these guys and they had feared Nelly
Actually start pushing the getting ready to push for giphy
They're going to extend this line in East Capitol Police are directing the National Guard
And they are even even though we're off the actual capital on and
Apple
Property Excel
Their intent is to move the crowds back at least a block or two away and establish our own Outer Perimeter
This point
It's current it's past curfew the the mayor has announced the curfew between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
And I stayed on purpose I know okay alright I know I'm in violation of the actual curfew order at this
Point
But there have been rumors floating all day that after dark that did antifa troops are going to come in
And enforcing a really kick up the area of the
Agenda or their agenda
In-N-Out
Great measure that they would come in and
There
All of their tactics and that there was going to be
What's medicinal violin soap
I can't help but think that these
These officers in the National Guard troops were
Same warnings the same
Preparedness for what might happen at that point
But I I'm here to tell you it didn't happen there was no more violence
Hereafter
The the curfew time
They did not show up I think
Labor participation.
They
Brought to the melee earlier that day
How late it was mission accomplished for them so they they did not come back
And this Skirmish lines getting longer and not Skirmish line but the
Police line in
Getting much much longer at this point if there is because of the reinforcements coming from the guard show
The perimeter around the Capitol building is now much much much
Weider
The circumference is getting much bigger this point now somebody did
Throw some liquid into the crowd over my head at that point I
Who did that but that was about as violent
Action is
What's taking place
It was not have
You saw that the
Trix react
Probably not knowing
What it was
I think it was just
Soda
The water was
What's up
Acid cuz it hit me
As well
But they've got this
Perimeter being extended further and you'll see them built the begin to push us back
Steven much regret much more aggressively
That's where I'm at
Did the crowds very thin at this point
Nobody's doing any
But they just don't
Want them
Clothes they want them
Out of there
Perimeter by at least a block or two
And I'm a
Not far at this point from the siding that there's
Doing nothing else to stay for
What time do
Get the heck out of Dodge
Get back to my hotel which
Just over in that
City
Arlington
We started seeing
On our phones that
That's now the governor
Governor Northam
You got to come
Wanting slashing honor
IPhones that
The
Curfew has been extended to the end
Tire Arlington County
That's my brother's from the cigar
I was having
I have yes I did light up a cigar while
That's what that smoke
And
Governor Northam
He extended the range of the
Curfew from just DC itself
2
All of
Arlington County
Now
Pretty much out
Inside the curfew
That I was going to
Tonight
And
So I'm thinking at this point I need to start getting out of there
And finding an Uber
Hoped at this point
You know I'd still be able to
Call up an Uber even after curfew that they would still be working
Unfortunately
Not too long after this I
Start my exit from the saying this guy is you know
Another one of those
Sounded like he was ex-military and he's horse lecturing these guys on there
Their duties to their oath
And
That they don't have to follow unlawful
Orders from their Commander
Virginia good luck
That was a constant theme throughout the game
The day with the
A lot of these guys are both
You heard others
Earlier calling people in
The action
You heard people are religious groups preaching
Preaching the gospel and such as that
Did the racino
Every manner of humanity
And you got to hear every message the people for
Bullhorn
Here throughout the day
So I'm starting to think this point move my way out of that
If you can see there just a few hundred people gathered at least in this area
I have no idea I didn't walk the perimeter
Didn't feel like it was
They're at that point
Commons it was on the side of
Video chat
I'm about to walk away and go find my Uber and
Back to the hotel
Actually stopped
Picked up
McDonald's for me
Brandon Hotel
Because he got trapped
We're going out to dinner
You're trapped in the hotel because
The curfew was
Could leave
You're actually walking some of the hotels over in
Arlington Crystal City were not letting people leave their house
Hotels actually
Police were putting bars
On their doors
Blocking p
Leaving wall
Credible
This actual video of that
But this little narration is coming to an end
I probably will hang on spot that about the nll
Check out clothing closing remarks after it's over with
I want to get this up and post it is
Quickly as possible and then we're going to get into
Some very specific narrations of
Actual scenes and events that were happening
Inside those
Action
Moments
Things are dead
And that I've been able to find and pick out that I think of very interesting soap
What's going to happen
Is I'm going to
Work my way from where I've been staying for the last few days haven't been home
Two changes of clothes over
Solid week now
I left the last
Tuesday an hour
Week after
Ticket event

Didn't register yet
Tldr
For a lot of people it's over 9000 words
But it's a timeline very very detailed
Very tediously put together
Timeline description of everything that I saw
Wednesday January
6th and DC
And there also is going up here
Probably before this is posted there's going to be a podcast version of that
For those of you that don't want to spend
An hour reading
How you can spend an hour listening
To Ami Reed
That
Take your blog show
That will probably be up
Before you see this
We're releasing all this in sequence
Sand
And ripping it out there
As we
Get it put together which is very difficult
As you know
We're new at this we don't have a big team and
I'll have you know
My producers and directors and
And video editors and
Professional
You know Ben Shapiro and
Glenn Beck in
Find a Reuben
All the other Reno
Characters are out there and I don't have the video editing skills
Myself at all so I'm totally
My partner wouldn't he
Get to it
And he's getting ready to leave
Believer
The
Cursed anime
Don't have him available to me
For this weekend
So I'll really get as much done as we can between now and Sunday and get this all packaged together
Get this out to you in that I'm going to try to get back to some semblance of normal life after that
I might
Northeast run
How the TPC road trip up to the Northeast
Obviously has been delayed a couple weeks because of what to happen in DC never thought this would happen this
Not predicted not planned
And
Attended the Northeast run to be a
For DC to be the beginning of my Northeast run
That it matter
So
I'm going to
All of
The writing
And video editing done
By this weekend
Posted and then I'm going to
Go
Decompress for a few days
Go home
And
Planbook
The Northeast
I trips I hope I get to see a bunch of you when I
My head that direction
Got people
All the way up in the New Hampshire
We're going to make it happen
Thanks so much guys I really appreciate it
And I really appreciate all of the
Be kind thoughts of the the messages of concern
The prayers have been said
Dino
And
It's been very
Very heartwarming to have people out there that don't even know me
Sending me those messages of
Well wishes in
And I am
Toby ojo
And II
I still got a lot of processing to do myself
To figure out
Whether I wanted
Chase this kind
Because I have a feeling
Like this in the air
In the coming months
And I say that not tell with
Joy or anticipation
Whatsoever
I say that
Great sadness
I hate that
I hate where we going
And I think
What side of the political
Spencer on
If you're on the right in the middle
Libertarian
Anarchist
Don't care who you are
You cannot
Want
To see more
What we saw there
We all need to take a step back
And
Reevaluate
This idea of the
Reno
Refreshing the tree of Liberty with the blood of patriots
Tyrants
Is a grand idea when
Reach that point
And we may get there
But we're not there yet
And
I hate
What we saw in DC last week
Happened
But
If you look at my blog and read my blog
I get into some analysis
Is there an
Beer of the day
And that
In some ways this may even
Can a test run
Ascertain
So we'll see
That's it
So once again
