He's taking a nap
Yeah he's going to work
Hey are they giving you any
Destination on Earth
Capitol building on
Activity Center
Outside
US capital of Iran Constitution
Capitol Police Beyond firefighters out here
Really what percent
I'll take it away in disgust
We never got your shot of the women crying with Trump
Never got your shot of people girls crying with Trump
It's okay it's still too early
I did try to shoot people over here listening
Where's the helicopter
You can't fly with Captain right
Speedway
No more mornings on one second
Alright good afternoon guys Matthew Torres here we are on Constitution Avenue on the west side of the u.s.
Capital
We're currently I'm worried we've been really watching a flurry of activity since Trump speech I just want to step aside here to show
Show you what we are seeing as you could tell this road particularly has been blocked off we were posted here because typically
Entering large events in DC the past a lot of the Marchers would actually come up this road but no doubt you can see
Capitol Police also blocking that part of the intersection I believe
That is second we are near Delaware Avenue and just to give you an idea of what we were able to at least Witness
It's just a moment ago we were able to hear another one of those banging noises somewhat similar to flashbangs
Open Tesla tear gas as you might have now seen on social media
Or other videos there was that tense moment at Clash
Richmond Capitol Police and some of the
Trump protesters
You really on the inauguration started things which is the south side of the
Capital you can see now
Really a sea of protesters making the way around this building
When we did a c or at least when you started hearing about the commotion and the confrontation with cap
Police on that side of things
Just moments before that we actually saw police with their right ear it gave us the indication that
Things were definitely no doubt getting tense. I want to paint over to the ride because you can see far Fighters or
Still here in fact earlier we saw at least two stretchers being taken out
According to my photographer who is able to witness this he saw at least one person taken out in a stretcher
Not sure yet on the relation of that you what's really the scene that just happened really moan
Moments ago
Abbott the rushed over here and so far we know at least one person from our
Survation was taken out with an ambulance
Again we are Constitution Avenue
Where are this really if we can zoom into the proud there's thousands of people surrounded
We are at a safe distance course that's what we're trying to do but still be able to provide you
At least our perspective here on Constitution Avenue outside from those noses those flashbang
I was able to also see some of the smoke so you can tell
Jesse what you need for me
Okay my mic is up
I'm dialing into ifb now
Yes
My God
No sorry I didn't call you
I don't hear anything
Nobody is communicating with me
Over live
What you're seeing right now on the backside of the capital is that
Trump supporters have broken through the gates on the north side of the Capitol and storms up to the steps of the backside
Police were back at wrapping up the stairs now stop the line but it seems that more and more protests
Are walking through the gate and up to The Back Stairs of the capital as you know the certification of the
Underway but as you can see right now people are very upset Jesse if he
You can show the more protesters coming up through the gate right now about 5
Peru
Seeing for the last 5 minutes I'm just going to let you watch now
You can see right here in front of us protesters there's a
They're walking pretty
Constantly toward the larger crowd over by the backside of the Capitol building the chance are getting louder
US stop the steel right now it's USA
We can see qanon
Swag and we can see the don't tread on US flag
Very popular in the Trump supporter community
We're seeing a scuffle developed between the protesters and the police
I'm not seeing more police coming down
Created a line of defense at the top of the stairs but I'm not seeing more police here we go more police just
We are running from the side with a paramedic
I don't see where they are running to but the paramedics are
The crowd of protesters not the ones by the steps but the ones that are still behind the
Oh mean why
Up on the steps of the backside of the capital for seeing protesters overcome the police
The police are now running back into the Capitol building we have cheers from the protesters that are watching Buckeye
Find a team this is incredible
All afternoon things here have been so peaceful this is a decidedly different feeling now
The protesters have overcome the police and are now gathered on the backside of the stairs of the capital bill
Throughout the day we were talking to some protesters from Long Island New York who said they anticipated occupy
We did not anticipate that occupying taking over the police and getting off
The stairs of the capitol
We just heard a laugh
Loud popping noise coming from the back steps of the Capitol we do not see any smoke we do not
Any indication of where that might have come from
At this point it seems like those protesters that are going to come up to the
Stop have already made their way here they're probably a third of the protesters left behind
Navigate that are still watching
You smell that kind of like
Outside of the first few people that seem to storm the gates
Christine more surprised than anything that they were overcoming the police and marching
Just one pack group started it started to grow
We're seeing flags for women for a
Trump flag Maga flag Don't Tread on US flag
Navy veterans are here thank you for that
Strategies had some calm and decent conversations
Now things are really taking a turn and they're starting to lash out at us the media
We're staying a pretty safe distance from the main action but you can see and hear them chanting
USA USA
Enchanting is definitely subsided for now we're seeing more protesters coming through the gate
The larger crowd on the steps of the backside of the Capitol building
Who did it
Jesse I can still see Capitol Police up here on the left hand side
Side
From our Vantage
Pointer doesn't seem any indication of pushing these protesters back behind the gate I don't know
How they would do that at this point but we do see some Capitol police officers on the balcony of the back
Steps of the Capitol building overlooking the crowd
During his speech earlier today President Trump encouraged people to come from the ellipse to the capital bill
Where he said you would join the Congress members who are certifying the
Going on right now inside of this building and this is the scene just moments ago.
Easy Carrie just have to
Dial into ISDN
I'm on ifb hi J
Yes I can hear you Jay
Okay
Yes yeah
We're fine
Say that again
Got it Jesse they're coming to us in about 30 seconds
Standby
Thank you
Hey can you watch his back
Lorenzo about 7 minutes ago protesters agree
These Gates right here they've been set up throughout the day on the north side of the Capitol Building at first it was
Just about 10 to 15 protesters that broke through the gate but as soon as those first protesters took those
Steps the flood came in there about fifty to a hundred that came in the next wave of protesters
And we were on the backside of that group watching other Trump supporters kind of be trepidatious about what
Whether or not they should follow the group but as you can see they have stormed the steps that Capitol Police were try
Trying to hold them back they did for a few seconds at the bottom of the stairs but then the protesters came in over
Overwhelming numbers and overtook Capitol Police they have now set up stop right here on the backside of
Stop as you can see at the top part of the balcony there are still Capitol police officers there
But there doesn't seem to be any indication that they're trying to push the protesters back down Behind These Gates Right
When you're in front of me the gates have been down now Noah Capitol Police or MPG for my vision have come over
Over here we did see moments ago EMT come through with a stretcher to the backside of the Kappa
. we didn't see anybody get on that stretcher I'm not sure if it was anticipation of somebody getting hurt but nobody
He had been brought out on a stretcher I'm trying to get a little closer to see what I can see all I see are
Black Trump supporter Maga supporter women for America and don't tread on us
Flag that I see earlier today we did hear people saying that they wanted to occupy the
They didn't give us any indication that they were going to storm the capitol steps but we haven't Trump supporters here
From all over the country Long Island New York Chattanooga Tennessee we talked people from Texas
They're all here to quote stop the steel they want to impress upon the Senators and the Congress people
Right inside of this building certifying the vote right now that the people are those that make this decision
And I may feel that the people were not heard earlier today we've had some good conversations with people but as a
Protesters stormed and broke through the barriers things have really switched and there has been an aggression towards
The media as well as just this overwhelming feeling of anger and so we're keeping our
Distance as you can see but right now it seems that the protesters are just staying where they are on the
Stop
Yeah Ariana we know that the president he was speaking at around noon today and at the end of that speech Earth alive
Have his protesters
I get near the White House to go to war that US Capitol to sort of gift through to those lawmakers who are inside right now
Certifying Joe Biden's election victory in and this is what we're saying play out right now they're taking the president's key
Cute and try to disrupt this process you heard a number of those protesters screaming
Stop the steel so audion before that moment before some of these additional protesters arrived
What was security like around the capitol because we do know that US Capitol Police would have beefed up security over the last couple of hours
Anticipating these large protests
And you can feel that Lorenzo we have seen Capitol Police
Blanching all sides of the Capitol but honestly we've seen them two or three blocks out looking through Alleyways but
Between houses and things to seem to breathe like I said earlier and very safe very calm people just
Standing your ground and wanting to peacefully protest it wasn't until maybe 10 to 15 minutes
Wendy's barriers came down that things really took a turn and it seemed that the protesters over
Took the number of Capitol Police that were stationed behind the gate when you look out on the other side of the game
This moment I don't actually see any Capital police officers where before there were at least
Why meet at any vantage point from where I was standing right now the only ones that I see are up at
Top of that balcony and it doesn't seem like I was saying earlier that they're trying to bring these protesters back down.
Behind the Gates that seems like a moot point at this juncture Lorenzo
Here is a lot of people are talking about this on social media as well as you just compare this to what we saw
Last year for the chunk of time last year over the summer with those black lives matter protesters in this
Poor posture that police had
With protesters there black lives matter Plaza then you look at this group here you're storming the US Capitol with the number of love
Makers inside the guy who second-in-command inside of that building as well Mike Pence and you know there are
Allowed to essentially run up and and get close to the entrance to the Rotonda there
I quite a remarkable scene but at this point do you see any additional
Call response for law enforcement
You're breaking up a little but I believe you asked me if I heard
Traditional response from law enforcement and honestly I have not seen an influx of capital police officer
Coming toward the crowd in the last 5 minutes it just hasn't happened what we're seeing
Rent trucks fire trucks that are coming to the area before the protesters
Albrook through the gates there were two protesters one man one woman wearing red beanies that broke through the farpoint
Investigate sat down in front of the gate and just seem to be holding their ground then.
The woman stood up she seemed to be limping and she was taken care of by both Capitol Police and ENT service
Then she went into the EMS truck she received treatment and came back out and it was about 2 minutes after
Sure that that the protesters decided to break down the rest of that game that section and storm
The capitol steps what we're seeing now on the far west side of the capital is that the second set of
Upstairs is also being occupied slower than the one in the middle but we're still seeing more protests
Walk off the side of the stairs Lorenzo
Are right now at least on the East front steps of the Capitol that's naughty technical entrance to the capital bill
Building so this is more of a ceremonial area you typically see people like recently beside John Lewis
Pappadeaux stamps Ginsburg her coffin being carry out these steps right into the Rotondo so this is
Isn't the primary entrance into the Capitol Building I should come out
The protesters are now shifting from the middle stairs over to the house side we're seeing a larger group if
Jesse is following them
Starting to walk over to this set of stairs that was concerning with them
Walking over to within walking to that other set of stairs now that's what concerns me because this is the entrance typically
Used by lawmakers as they're going into the chambers and I believe what we're looking at here is probably the the house of
Preventives that should be on their side which of the person told my Democrats yesterday are getting a
A little closer to the entrance where I can report as well according to the Associated Press that the u.s. capital is on lockdown
Right now because of what we're saying take place
Are police officers coming through this entrance 123 there are about ten different vans
All of police officers I cannot see how many are in each but I do see how they're coming out right now Jesse
Wcdc police there yeah
There about 8
Officers in the first band that I see coming out here they're station right now they haven't start
Trying to point out to either set of stairs they just need to be gathering in front of their truck
The resources that are being used in the city today as well I do you know you had a lot of
The protesters they were over there at the ellipse near the White House a little early over the president was speaking so you already have
Increase the security surrounding bad even and I'm sure that was their focus and now I'm assuming
You're presuming that we're seeing the delay in the response from police because they are moving from these other areas of the city.
They were watching for the last couple of hours or so today but you see them marching up
On the left side to my left side Lorenzo we were speaking to protesters who said there was a bottleneck they were
Trying to get more protesters up from the ellipse to the Capitol but there was a log Jam and so what we're seeing now
Now it's more people coming up from my right side that's also where the police are starting to gather and go upstairs
What we just heard what is the second what appears to be a flashbang I cannot do
That's what it was but it's the second loud banging noise that we have heard about 6 minutes apart
We're not seeing any smoke or any indication that she or gas or any sort of irritate has been sprayed
8 into the crowd at all which is a stark contrast to this summer
Right really put the audio on we are also getting reporting from The Huffington Post that some of those were protesters
Did manage to get inside of the US Capitol Building we're going to go to CBS News now with the broader
What's happening right now we are coming on the air right now with breaking news because the US capital has been
And placed on lockdown as angry protesters surround the building we should know that the house
And Senate have halted debates on objections to the Electoral College vote
And they have gone into recess senior members including the vice president Mike Pence have been rushed from
On the floor
And you're looking at them now extraordinary images of tens of thousands
A pro Trump supporters all encouraged by the president who said he will
I'm not concede he will not accept defeat and now have
Protesters have March from just outside the White House Down Pennsylvania Avenue and have charged what year
You're looking at now is the East front of the capitol
There are reports that there are protesters inside the Capitol building we have reporters
Are all on Capitol Hill to bring you the very latest information this is obviously a serious situation
And that is now involved a number of authorities including the US Capitol Police the DC Metro
Show police we know that the mayor had asked for the National Guard I've not yet seen them
On Capitol Hill but they are throughout the city at O'Keefe is here with us Ed so what are the reasons why these
Precautions are being taken in this may seem silly to many but nobody
What's a good place to because it's stuff
Okay cool
Thank you appreciate it
How's the beer in the Headlights
Okay it looks like we're not going to live right now
What but ask a couple questions over here
32 we are here at Constitution Avenue and 1st Avenue just on the other side of the u.s.
Capital where we are seeing protesters taking over the capital we see some of them scaling the walls now we are
Hearing reports that the capital is on lockdown after some have been able to get in we saw
Videos of the clash between the US Capitol Police and the protesters as they broke their way through the gate
They're actually going up the stairs right now you can see where they have taken over pretty much this side of the
Capital during the events where the inauguration is going to be how do you see the flag that are up there on that be
Balcony area right now and still a lot of supporters have been really cheering on the fact that they were able to breathe
It has taken over the US Capitol we've heard Rumblings that this was going to take place as the pros
Are on their way here earlier today and that certainly is now the reality here in the nation
Capital as protesters Trump supporters who are really upset or make it a
Way through here or hearing some flash it was tough to be a flash bangs as well
That seems to be the case echoing on the other side of the capital we are keeping an eye out on things but no doubt the flurry of
Activity some tense moments now as law enforcement is try to take a hold of things
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'll try a little bit more than
Or they will show the will of the people and that they want President Trump to be confirmed as the next
President again
An interesting juxtaposition is literally right behind our camera is a prayer circle where they have been
Praying
Kids around 9 this morning even while the protesters breach the fence and store
Storm the steps
The prayer warriors over on my right hand side
Have been praying chanting Mercy if you can hear them Jesse can you show
The prayer circle
Earlier this morning Cindy Jacobs was out here leading the group in prayer asking
4
Some sort of explicit evidence that would
Confirm that the election was stolen it has been debated and refuted multiple
Times that this has been a clean election and right behind these doors a joint commission of the Senate and
In the house are voting to certify the election right now which is normally a ceremonial event
I spoke to Senator Kaine about an hour ago who said in 2017 right after the tone
2016-elections the ticket that he was on
That certification process took about 17 minutes this one started at 1 and
It's unclear when it will end
Are you hearing that
Okay there they're chanting stop the Steal
It's been the chance of the day if the the main mission of today's protests
Gathering on the balcony of the steps
On the backside of the Capitol building as we were saying
Moments ago when protesters breached the fence they overtook about
10 to 15
Capitol police officers
Pretty quickly
And then we saw about 5 minutes ago
MPG truck loads coming in of officers and they have dispersed to the left and right button
Now we're starting to see more officers gather on the balcony where
When it's first started only 223 were
We heard she was banging noises earlier about 5 minutes apart but no indication of
Smoke no indication of irritants in the air
That's what they use against is up there I just came dad pepper sprayed
Who You Are
The cops up there the guy they just did another one later yeah the Big Bang here that's what those are.
Write off next to me
Hurt like hell on my leg I don't know if I got marks on my leg or not but like when I get home
Azurill
This is pepper spray
That was yeah that was a huge flash yeah big speaker what do you call a concussion
It says flash Vanguard so I guess it's a flash grenade
Do you mind if I hold on today
I was going to keep it as a souvenir
Yeah I mean
I got the marks
Is that picture from right after it happened what is that well I guess
I got video and s***
Wow I was right up there do you mind sending those to me

We want to reposition

The Constitution side
Nevermind
Thank you
Is our shop still being used
Hey Buckley are we
Okay
Wasn't sure if I was going to talk for digital
Understood
It is so incredible to me that
Tear gas in irritants haven't been deployed
If this would have happened over the summer
USA
Chris vankleef from CBS instinct
Smoke
I think it must be on the other side
Nothing at anywhere
You are inside the cab
It's in the air
Smelling it
Okay we're starting to smell chemical irritants
In the are not sure if it's OC spray
But they were using over the summer
Or pepper spray
It seems to be coming from the right side of the building but I don't see the clouds of smoke that we're hearing
Unreported from other CBS reporters
What's interesting is you're starting to see families gather if you can see this
Over my left shoulder and starting to take pictures a celebratory moment it seems for people to
Breached the capital fence and to have taken over the backside of Capitol stairs
A few moments ago it was clear that the protesters who decided not to storm forward
Found out that protesters had actually breached the building where we know that the count has stopped
Pause momentarily wildest death under control
And now we're smelling more of those chemical irritants in the air
Clear browser is a Citywide curfew for

Right now these protesters seem to be pretty content staying right here on the capitol steps
We haven't seen any escalation
Fitbit charge 2 stops in fact
I've been throughout the day I think this
Increase in activity was the only thing that really

Okay
You guys are watching online right now we are on the north side of the capital Regency a lot has happened and what you guys just
Yourself so we've been here for about the past 45 minutes and we have seen people I'm scaled the side of the North
Northside of the capital here climbing up onto the balcony you can see someone is doing that right now someone has tide
All the yellow ropes we can see through them over and now and see a man trying to get up
There's been a lot happening you can see if you can over here police have now blocked this door several times
Over the last 45 minutes you can hear some booze happening right now there's a man with a megaphone standing in
In front of the police talking to the large crowd of supporters that have made their way up there onto that balcony
And they're all standing in front of a door they have pushed open somehow were not close enough to see
Exactly how they got it open but broke open that door several times you could hear the security alarm
You know like the fire alarm letting people know that that door was open it appears that police were on the other side of that door because they
Getting pushed back and now those officers have made their way through the doors and are not blocking off that door from the outside
And the crown just continues to grow large fries and a large crowd and then if it was a bit and now working on
Scaling the side of a building
Stairs that go up there as well and there's been a stream of people making their way
Up there for the last 30-40 minutes or so that he can come in feelings
What's happening in then going up there to myself doesn't look like I'm doing it on what's going on
Attempted several times but in Breaking open the door

Canton water plants are coming Friday Northside but the council right now we're pro Trump supporters have six

Plant blocking the view but I move over to the side a little bit there's something going on
And those supporters that are trying to make their way in as their Champion correctly
They are saying this is all capital
India on the north side of the capital. We're coming for the Hideaway. without me
Also something black on the window there not to enjoy
From the last 35 45 minutes
How do I get to work
Very apparent they ignored that get on the lawn and have just made their way on up into the capitol
You can see some people climbing up a little bit on the wall cuz he's heard by
Red shoulders or standing on a Ledge above the crowd there
Supporter here it's hard to see with so many Trump flag is above everybody else there
Play something there
And also hearing people
Talking about the cookie
Still a lot of momentum
A lot of that

Inside of the Capitol building there has been a pro Trump rallies and marches that happening here in DC-3
Of course reach the capital and now they are attempting to breach the north side where we are at
Balcony to get up there and then they have been trying to get in through the gate
Security doing a good job
USA is well and again there is a curfew in it back by DC mayor Bowser
Plan to frankly ignore that curfew and they are going to continue with their plan
Standing up here
On top of that ledge here on the balcony

Also if you're noticing just watching a lot of people in as you will see
Looks like we're watching officers walking around
And if people are still in the side of the building 2
I'm even thinking of scale the building and its
25-yard Jose they wouldn't have to accept no no
The hearing officer status standing

Little bit
I'm going on down
Hey buddy
She just waiting with him like he's part of the crew
Yeah yeah yeah
Do that
Your mic is not on
Test test test test test
Good evening to our live audience and wusa9.com it is Matthew Torres here continuing Ark
Coverage of what happened here at the US Capitol
Earlier today I am on the west side of the Capitol on Connecticut Avenue
Started
And this is where the scene is
Obviously
Still active
The flashing lights behind me that's because
We now have firefighters still here
We also have a large
Presence of law enforcement
Booting
Montgomery County Police 2-hour left you see the armored vehicle
Earlier today we also saw the Virginia State Police Troopers also here assisting
So up and down here you might be able to find some FBI Personnel we saw a group of them
Walking down this
Streets and so far from this angle earlier today
We have heard of hospitalizations already at least one person being shot and other people having to be taken
To the hospital
Photojournalist David satchell was actually here was able to witness
At least one of those
People being taken away in the stretcher
Have you CPR done on him and still
So far we are just witnessing what
Really now
Seems to be more of the law enforcement presence
Earlier baby moments ago we heard it intercom message a woman saying and reminding folks
He is still out here that the curfew will start at
6 tonight and will continue until 6
Tomorrow morning
And still far it seems like people are Heating
That warning at least that curfew and is quieted down significantly
Even from just an hour ago again we are on the west side of things
You can see some of those people in riot gear tactical gear during their vehicle
They're heading on out
Just to give you guys an update and provide a better understanding since we're stationary on Connecticut Avenue
And walk to the north side of things that's where it really
Got cheated maybe 2 hours ago that's what we saw
Are the US Capitol Police
Pushing aside the protesters to get off the property
I just walked over there and still far the majority of the people I was able to witness
Are the officers are the police in the right here still
They have put back the fences that were toppled over
And they have surrounded kind of the area that was too warm
By the protesters
Also
Truly truly alarming especially someone in
Journalism
We're able to also Witness
A group of protesters
Swarming the media staging area on
Around the northwest
Corner of this capital
Reporters were forced to leave the area these people chanting at them
Prettymuch denouncing media throwing and
Slamming the camera tripod all the expensive equipment
Down to the ground destroying them
Earlier walk past it after everyone's pretty much
First
And a pile of just destruction
Steroid equipment
The belong to several news organizations
He got 10
Really quick
It's so it's something that we have to really cheap stuff
We have to stay far
Justin
Are we were able to get close enough
The other side where the inauguration over the event
Will take place at the Capitol
It almost became this party there
So many people
Please
That the protesters were able to warm the capital
Breach the capital
Party a lot of people angry
But also there are a lot of people clearly.
Almost instigating their wanted energized if they want to continue this energy
And really see how far in my class
And that's why
Alert authorities are on high alert this evening
See how things made for grass
Again from Arthur
Effective here on this angle on Connecticut Avenue
Disney Constitution Avenue thank you we have been able to see this
Street
Slowly get empty
I will be able to see some of the protesters leave so it's far as the curfew
Seems like people are actually following it
From this angle but I no doubt law enforcement
Because it's no longer just Capitol Police it's no longer
Just DC police we have entities
From all over
Helping out with this
Credible situation
Unbelievable to witness first-hand
It's idiotic what sticks out the most are the
Protestor scaling the walls
He also had this giant
Flag that they need to cross
Dilaudid
All the way up to the scaffolding area of the capitol
Almost a declaration
To them that this was
The Last Stand almost
To make their point across
And so I've also been able to
Get in touch with at least one
Us congressman
I'm from Tennessee
I was told from his chief of staff representative Jim Cooper
That's like many and most of the Congress members who are here they're in their offices in the building
Broad
From the cop capital
They have barricaded themselves they're locked in and they would likely have to stay in there overnight for what I was told
The chief of staff of Representative
Other lawmakers as well who were forced to really stay inside
Scary scary situation and really from my
Observation and only scratching
The surface of what
Has been
Really
Almost dangerous
Unprecedented
Event event
And that word has been used many many times this year
The last year
Unprecedented No Doubt
Something
Anyone who is here
Will never ever forget
Also before I send things back
Again you see all the flashing lights we were able to actually speak to
One of the Trump supporters
Who was Dara
Guided tours
When
Protesters
First
She was able to get video disc
We were able to
See it from her phone
She shot it
You heard your voice so we were able to at least confirm the
Who was the
Who got this video
It's a 30-minute video and just the first few seconds you could see how tense it got
Beastie the windows being smashed
Before
They were obviously able to walk in and so a lot of noise that leads from the side of her
Police but of course
This is something they're going to keep an eye on
Throughout the rest of the night
Till tomorrow morning
That the curfew will last
And once again it's
Seems like folks out here
Car heating without warning
Quiet down
Probably good news
Could be best described
50 bottles Heaven thrown in their Direction.
Yes I do
Thank you
Hotmail
I know you got a live lucky
Right now I'm still alive look at the Capitol complex grounds were west of the Capitol building
I mean Caesar hundred 200 Trump supporters who are currently here Beyond them
It's kind of hard to see from our vantage point there is a line of police officers dozen
Probably more than a hundred of police officers representing the Metropolitan Police Department
BFDI and we believe the Capitol Police about 45 40 minutes
We saw them leave 1st and Constitution and then head south to where they are right now
And then hold that line basically in front of the Capitol building in the hill that leads up to the Capitol
Block the last 10 or 15 minutes they've been in a stalemate like you see right now
Really supporters I've been staring back the police and police back toward them
Give contacts us to where we are if you're familiar with the capitol grounds here next to the reflecting pool that's
It's right next to the capital just west of it and the statues that are in front of it as well
Well I've been thrown here a lot of curse words and things
That nature. luckily no other violence like we saw earlier today
Please we got to have to shout out to them and went over the last hour be done
Really good job of controlling this area and the situation at hand making sure that no one
Charges any further toward the Capitol building but you can see it is still pretty
Tents here in the Capitol grounds please don't want anything else to happen like what
Earlier today the once again they're keeping a pretty strong line
Here is a photographer on the scene here
The the line officers
Here toward Constitution then go all the way to Constitution and then South
Are there toward the pool and he can just see they're not letting anyone any farther East toward the calf
Capitol Building they're not messing around right now
Really been interesting I reckon I've had a bit of
Night here ever since we came out to cover the comings and goings of the Capitol Drive
Browns lost two to three hours or so there's a couple of trump supporters who come up to
And I said some things that you might expect would be said to members of
Of the price especially on a day like this the police have stepped in a couple of times to make sure
But nothing happens. And make sure that the the situation stays peaceful
But it has been really for lack of a better word
That is right here next to me if there's anything you want out into very
Interesting day in washing
You just wouldn't see my normal day in Washington obviously there's a always a very big police
Presence here given that this is the capital of the United States
But you don't see police roaming the district like you do today you don't see
People just kind of wandering around aimlessly and you can kind of see it right now in front of us there's a journalist
Accrue media through being harassed right now by Trump supporters this is Wendell
Going on all day obviously unacceptable but not surprising at this point
See this happening
How many people are yelling at this reporter and photographer your hearing communist News Network who knows
These people are affiliated with who the screws affiliated with but if you're out here with a camera
This is one of the things that routinely keeps coming I do believe that is a CNN
Improve
Moana sings redo
Doing obviously right now I just given what it's like around here the cat
Capitol Building looks like I've been like a around downtown all today we're keeping our distance from the crowds
It's simply because we don't live in a situation like what Justin folded with CNN
Jennifer with us we obviously want to bring you the latest as to what's Happening Here
Around the capitol In Harm's Way either
With exception to what just happened to that seeing in Peru
Things once again for the last 20 30 minutes I have been relatively peaceful
Heater next to the pool but police are still holding that line
With roughly a hundred 200 Trump supporters in front of them
Onesie
Kind of forgetting from our end just working this story that the district is
Is under curfew right now with the last 45 minutes
Ali people here obviously in the parking lot of the Capitol building do not care here
Here and who knows how long they will be here but good place the district
Today we've been in this area right around the capital for quite a while
Wow so I can't tell you exactly what it's like in other parts of downtown but we did talk to her
Couple people who live on the other side just east of the Capitol building in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood
Could you were telling us earlier that it's just distressing to see something like this happen
In their neighborhoods are near their neighborhood residents who live here
Forgot kids who are saying the basically they're worried about their safety because things like this don't have
Happened around the Capitol Building they don't happen in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood obviously
What we're seeing right now in DC are a lot of a lot of first or things
We haven't seen in decades worth of time so it's very jarring for locals who are here
I in the district and the Capitol Hill Neighborhood as well
Could taking you out to eat and it's going
Mine no. Going anywhere right now
No no
I'm not going anywhere right now
I'm not transmitting anything
Do you know without being told yes they see you
Not right now cuz I looked it up
Facebook page
Worldwide
Okay thank you for telling
Frontage
We're just not being used by Facebook
Back this way hey we're back once again live here
West of the capital building and we could see probably about 30 seconds ago
Police were pushing look like demonstrators here a little farther back but
The activity that was occurring looks may have just stopped you're still think we're going to do
The Vantage Point obviously from from a distance but from the other the other side
I hear toward the parking lot
In gas
Floor view of the Capitol building right here and you can also just see
All the people over here in the parking lot right next to the Capitol Building you can't see the police
Right now from where we are but a very large police presence in front of all of these p
People definitely more than a hundred police officers once again we're talkin about
The Metropolitan Police Department the Capitol Police Department and little earlier we saw members
Of the FBI all in that line and from what we could tell
This line goes from Constitution to the north of the Capitol building here
Eastwood least the reflecting pool and on the other side of the reflecting pool
We can't see right now by the botanical gardens we can see a police presence in that parking lot
As well and once again but we suspect they're doing but we can probably
These two holding this line to make sure no one can go East toward the Capitol building and cause
Anymore flock of a better word disruption like we
I saw earlier today
Another thing that we've also been noticing and I don't know exactly what they're being used for
Are ambulances that have been going in and out of the area there's an ambulance right there in front of the Capitol building right now a little
Farther up on Capitol Hill and Constitution you can also see multiple ambulances
And fire trucks that are located there as well Wednesday I'm not sure what they're being used for
But tonight in comparison to really any nights this summer
Or any night is not the last two years is the most amount of police lights
And federal agency like that I've been seeing go off in the district of
India in quite some time I'm a little farther away or not Independence
Also coming down from Capitol Hill there a lot of Cruisers making their way toward
The Capitol Building as well
Channel 9
Brutal knife
No better not
We're just putting her a camera at what's happening right here.
We're just yeah we're just chilling around everything that's that's happened
Right around town right now but we're not we're not doing
You mean hear this happening right now to our side and we got a wonderful security guard working for
Price right now but
Randomly show up to some of our live live show
God-fearin to start basically randomly saying things and that's just kind of want to think
I have to deal with in a situation like that but our wonderful security guard is keeping us
Safe right now and this this situation
We try to do something here to Rebecca Lim
Receiving another
I hear from a distance try and see how long this fleece-lined
I just want to get a little bit of a few here and we can kind of see it
There's a line and I don't know if you can see if we can see
Constitution and basically the pool right here is where in TV is keeping that line between
The Capitol building in Trump supporters right now we're located
Parking lot that borders 3rd Street Northwest
You didn't use his right now nothing to crazy's happening we saw a few bottles thrown
Earlier so I'm shoving but other than that pretty calm Trump supporters are just standing
Still here at the moment police storbakken
Take a quick look here Becca behind the
Camera lens noticed the other parking lot opposite of where we are
Further down in capital we see a lot more Cruisers that are coming in to the capital of Iran
Yes that looks like a Capitol Police just looking at the side
Ave verum the cars there could be possibly should change it could be
Just additional officers to secure things up but all throughout the night at least around the Capitol building
We've been seeing Cruisers from all the multiple police departments in this area
Virgin to this one side and I would expect to see that all throughout the night right here in my apologies
Actually looks to be a mix of different agencies Ozark Metropolitan Police
Department cars DC police cars that were sitting right here that are coming to the Capitol Building on Federal
Ground to make sure that no one gets in to the Capitol Building are
Why do
I was saying I don't know what else we don't have time to try to
That means he'll that works
You got your card or not for something new I've no problem doing that we're not
Slate
Worldwide right now
Parking restrictions
Where We Are
Backside
Rapture
Oh yeah I know we're not doing that
Oh no no no no
If you're just joining us
John Henry were outside the Capitol building right now just west of the Capitol building
The reflecting pool here in the parking lot that's right next to the building I can see about a hun
Hundred or so Trump supporters are still here located in the parking lot farther Beyond them
Is a police line specifically Metropolitan Police Department if you're not from this
That's the police department that looks over the District of Columbia they have a line
About a hundred police officers between Constitution Avenue just north of the Capitol building
All the way here to the reflecting pool and basically what they're doing is making sure that none of these Pros
Protesters are given Schrader's go any closer to the Capitol Building than they have at any time earlier
Today we actually saw them probably about an hour or so ago now coming to this position
With the FBI and members of the Capitol Police Department to hold the line that they currently have
Bottles that have been thrown but for the most part
Things remained peaceful here unfortunately we did see a few journalists to
Harassed probably about 20 minutes ago people look like it was a proof in Spanish
Those journalists were Pushkin. yelled out of the area but for the most part
Things have remained peaceful as of late
Overtime
Obviously the Capitol building in the distance there and all the people who are here
She was covering all the protests that occurred over the summer
Been here for protest before next to the Capitol building but obviously nothing like you're seeing right now where
The police have had to basically cordon off the entirety of the Capitol building this is something that obviously
Does not happen in DC normally or any
The last couple of decades
Interesting to see up-close-and-personal this crowd has been here for a few hours now
Now once again nothing too crazy that we seen
From them the last hour besides just there
Their existence right here in the parking lot I mean normally during the middle of winter
Be no one here this time of night but they've been staring back and forth with police
Making their voices heard with flags and Trump signs
Throughout the night big question is how long this is going to last
Phoenix crowd thinned out a little bit over the last hour
Please send me this line it's nowhere near as big as what it was probably even just 30 minutes ago
But I'm quite possible that some people here could intend to stay here for quite a while
Serena have her camera here is as long as we can just keep an eye on as to what's going on
In and around the capital Capitol Building grants
Right now I'm going to give you a bit of a different Vantage
22 obviously right now we're just kind of keeping our distance to be safe
Specials all the volatility that is occurred today but as well give you a different vantage point
Point from the parking lot of the US Capitol Building show you just how many people are here right now
And I also what the police are doing to keep this area as safe as possible all things considered
So you can kind of see it watches their Beyond
The crowd of supporters there yellow jackets yellow vest
Members of the DC police department holding the line once again and make sure that people do not go any farther east
Tour the capitol building but obviously right in front of us you can see supporters of the press
Who are staring right back at them
It's not as big as it was about 30-40 minutes ago if you really tell that right now from where we are
Because when we were first here when he first arrived to the scene this crowd was basically back up to where we are
Right now so it has thinned out a lot of protests
Are demonstrations in matter involved with them they're usually people who
Could stay there as long as possible so once again there's no telling how long this specific occurrence
Will last
Once again if you're not from the DC area and you're watching this right now
This may be a little but usually do not see these people
Department located on the capitol grounds like they are right now
Capitol Police usually handle themselves members of the DC police
Chilling out the duties that they are right now this really speaks to how extraordinary
This situation is the Capitol Building 100 police officers
All the way to the road to the reflecting pool here to make sure that no one advances any farther but on the other side of the pool
We can also see if you doesn't Metropolitan Police Department Cruisers
As well make sure no one goes any closer to the Capitol Building from that area
Exactly what's going on
The other side but I would imagine the Police Department police response is just as strong over there
Is it is over here
Right now
Directions to Sylvania Avenue police cruisers that are
Coming or going toward the Capitol Building goofy the Trump Hotel in the background there
Looks like they're coming this direction I'm all throughout the night we've just seen multi
All departments and agencies here putting their resources toward for lack of a better word
Finding the Capitol building it looks like right now we're just seeing more officers do that right now
Any good to remind you that this is all happening the backdrop of a curfew that
DC mayor Muriel Bowser just set up earlier today when
Deactivate really started here at the Capitol building in Columbia Center
Tonight once again no one here in the parking lot next
Installing that right now but I'll looking at Metropolitan Police Department Cruise
Trying to figure out exactly where they're going
It looks like they're going to the other side of the Capitol building down Independence
See if there's anything else happening on the other side of Capitol Building from here
Right now you're actually be hearing
You may be hearing a bit of a ringing sound we actually just got an alert and Governor Ralph Northam across the pond
River security guard showing it to us right now it's saying that there's a perfect that's been ordered for Alexandria
And Arlington counties from 6 p.m. 6 a.m. on January
You're not from Washington area Arlington is the closest County to
District of Columbia on the other side of the Potomac in Virginia than Alexandria is Right neck
Next to it earlier before all this occurred today different County
Executives and Mayors in the area outside of DC pleading for the same thing that mirror mirror
Bowser a task for the people stay out of the district and do not engage with all the people
We decided to come into the district today and you see right now that Oliver p
Peter's Oliver political peers are once again pleading for the same thing some people that they just stay home
In light of what's occurred at the Capitol building today
