Tonight
The inside story of a Brazen assault
What American democracy
The warning signs I heard just hours before
The waters mobile
Water guns appointed
It's time to take these people out
I'm what it means for America
As it confronts the threat of extremism
From within
It was just after 2 p.m. on Wednesday this was the protest
March the became a Ryan
The Cayman in Surat
Brother this is supposed to be filmed
Which captured the moment that shook America to its core
You will see the Venom we encountered
If we followed them up into the very heart
Congress
We were the only TV news team to witness the moment
America's inner Sanctum
Another
What does it mean for this
With moves to impeach the president now underway
I'm with growing calls for him to resign
Is this the end of the story
Or just the beginning
Tumwater Washington
Many times before
A civil war
Bishop protest service civil rights but these last four years have been different
Anger has been weaponized
The election didn't Connemara
With a president who refused to accept his loss
Frankly we did win this election
Bianca became Fury
You should put on there
Too much evidence of fraud
The drumbeat of incendiary rhetoric has been growing louder by the day
That was a rigged election
The day before the storming of Congress
We watched his Trump supporters
Already fighting onto the street
It was all ready to send to this being a day is Destiny
And our lives are at stake
We visit our last and we have to take the stand
This fight now
Ramona hustlers
Intensive care nurse from Central
Florida
I have been blessed to live in the freest country that exists
And we are now in danger
My children and grandchildren and never have the opportunity
I've been presented if I don't
Stand up now and today
For this cuz I cannot stand
Can't stand that cannot stand
The next day the crowd was gathered
Waiting for the man who had promised on Twitter
But this day would be wild
I had expected passion
I discovered an emotion
Altogether more ominous
Stockton electrician
Woodhead from West Virginia
Just angry or you really freaking mad buddy I'm freaking pissed we're all mad
Everybody here is mad
And I tell you what you Unleashed this damn bunch
Or the time comes I'll tell you what is going to be ugly
Then I asked a question that was intended to be
Boomers tongue-in-cheek
Are you going to
Storm Congress are you going to just continue to exercise our first amendment what's the plan
These millions of people out here and across this nation
My day we're done
You think we'll sit back and take it
Goodnight longer you can be bad out
Work that this ain't over
Are you going to come a storm Congress what you going to do about it we will be heard we have a First Amendment right to
Congregate and express our freedom of speech and we will continue to do so
Backstage in a holding pen
The prison was watching the crowd on video monitors family members would live stream
Lamettry Woods
Trump then went on stage
And delivered his
The election was stolen
Dialed is up to Congress to confront
This egregious assault
Oneida Market
Today do not want to see our election Victory stolen by emboldened radical left them
Democrat switch
Just what they're doing
We will never give up we will never concede
It doesn't happen
You don't concede with his theft about
And he directed their attention to a specific location
Why Congress Was preparing
Just justify the election
And after this
We're going to walk down and I'll be there with you
I'm going to walk down to the Capitol
And so they did
Although the president never join them
With President Trump
Reality
Vs Red
And when the president stands in front of the crowd he is there too
Energized them so he said we are going to March to the Capitol with you and so Dad is exactly what
What they did they
Followed his words even though
He wasn't being literal he was using that
As a way to energize his supporters
What was building did not come as a surprise to me
I'd seen the growing intolerance
I didn't September I traveled to Kentucky to investigate the resurgent militia move
Where you from
I've been tracking this threat posed by America's far-right
Which Ministry comes up
You're heavily armed and on the streets of an American city I wonder who you are
And I was stunned when I sold these emboldened
Adam powered malicious
Take over the very center of Louisville
Oh I'm not from Melissa
What who are you exact
Who are you
I'm a British journalist for ITV News
Screw you
I'm not telling you
I tried it the time to understand what was happening
Why on Earth would a police retreating
Unseating territory to a private Army
What signal is that sending
I spent time talking to Malaysia leader
Like this man who calls himself
The angry Viking
Meet
Meet and talk
Look we busy just right
Hit you I understood the contempt the foreigners on the media
First off you're not America
What's my nationality
And armed with that knowledge last week
I said
What would happen next
Extremists were colliding with ill-prepared policing
A single officer with firing pepper balls
From above
Some ricocheting off the scaffold
People struggling with
Pepper spray in their eyes
Police officers held the line for a few more minutes
And listen to the sounds all around me
Quasi-military instructions from the organizers within the crown
I didn't try to be the very know duration platform
Do we use next week
Was actually hoping the rachis
Outmaneuvered
Police
The security forces were confused and not number
I'm cool for reinforcements went on answer
This suddenly had a
Revolutionary field trip
It was anger the president hadn't joined
What's the present book by now the confidence
The crowd was high
And then they breach the Outer Perimeter
A my first reaction
What's up this defining moment have been years in the making
The crowds have now
Breach the barricades hair on Capitol Hill
This is exactly what so many people fit
But it is not a surprise
But I know trying to enter the building itself
2020
Direction did not
Heal the wounds of this country
It is supposed to be tomorrow
The last time Congress have been on the direct result
Was by British troops
During the War of 1812
I felt confident the police would stop us
The building entrance with astonishing a several offices with their hands in their pockets
Didn't seem to be bothered
And what was happening should not have come as a surprise.
I've known Fort Fisher a talented young photojournalist
4 year
Pichu is going deep into the world of white supremacists
I'm put Isabel extremism
He saw this coming
The signals were flashing red
2 Ford
You predicted this
I thought I saw it coming too I was sending emails and messages to my editor saying
There's a storm coming this is going to be big
Why didn't the police why didn't the FBI see it
I thought that police would be looking at the same things I was
There's a website called My militia.com where people literally use it as a social media site
4 militia activity there's also the website parlor which is kind of friend itself as an alternative to Facebook or
Twitter primarily for conservative
My feeling ahead of this was that with so many people making so many
Certified
Credible plans to try to interrupt
Proceedings of
The of the house of
That police would know that that's coming and then have a fortified capital
I kind of thought that they'd be blocked by right
Back on this unlikely Frontline
We were eyewitnesses to the greatest security breach since 9/11
Is unfolded
In front of a camera
And then we were over the threshold
We were running to keep up
Certainly offices realize this wasn't approved
This was no suit
And the Senate itself would be a Target
This is becoming increasingly perilous
One man with a flagpole
Launch directly address
But note that others came by the fence
He was determined to deliver his message
However incoherent
Malaysia
Driving simulator
Some of the window frames helping people in
Then a familiar man who passed me with a baseball bat in his back
I spoken to Bobby geese wine the day before about his intention
Insight into the alarming worldview of these in
Intruders
What we need to do is we need to get the corrupt politician
Have been in office for 50-60 years they have been destroying our country and selling it
To the Middle East
And Israel
Out-of-office
And they need to be in prison
A message to Congress that they need to get the corrupt politicians out of office
Kelsey the clintons every single one of them
Tomales Bay
Have completely destroyed our country and
And sold them to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers
East Wind was now heading in for
The confrontation
This is extremism
Masquerading as patriotism
This is our house
Dark Country
Somehow that loyalty spell tamatoa imagen
God
Guns and Trump
Another Mountain had a t-shirt with the words
Camp Auschwitz
But others are paid 3 just for you
They've broken in almost 2 sedan
I overheard one man charging
Capitol Hill Police tried to intervene
Corralling Asana coordinate the conversations would know to be civil
One police officer reassuring a protest
Animated pepper
A female officer intervene
Exactly what
Anticipated
I will stand in recess until
In the Senate chamber itself
It was Dawning on people
The chaos was unfold
Everybody stay down
And someone hiding in the Galleria
Reportica Diego but was covering the drama with the election certification that was underway
The things we're getting louder
Under danger close
We were rushed to one side of the room
Are the gallery
And I ducked Behind the Chair because they told us to get low
I thought they going to get in here
And we're not going to be able to leave cuz it all the doors were locked
The images that seemed almost unimaginable
Lawmakers being escorted from the chamber dripping with hate
1 open display agents with pistols Chrome
The most jarring incident was when they
We heard banging on the door and then we physically still
They the the push
On the door and then Capital police in in the interior
Move a piece of furniture to bombard the door
Someone wearing oxygen hoods
And we spoke to the new Republican Congresswoman Nancy mace about hurricane
We were putting lockdown which meant our lights were out we were quiet
All of our doors were locked
In the office
And it was a very harrowing
Experiencing
The sad day in American history
I'm disappointed I'm heartbroken and I'm angry
I was brought to your sis morning totally on a Merrick
And I'm just so sad and for a country
Back in the Cardinals
We're just filmed Ashley Babbitt arriving
Add a full spectrum from San Diego
Within minutes she was trying to overcome
The final line of defense
And then a security agent
Open camera
She did not survive
One of five people who would die
As a result of the assault on Congress
Some distressing struggle
This confrontation caught by video
Nearby the crowd we were following
Had arrived in the Krypt
A revered space
Stop the steel they were chanting
For these people it was a heady
Intoxicating moments
And then I spotted something that at the time badly shook my faith
But this was a spontaneous protest
But I got lucky
I spotted a woman in a green shirt
Discipline Focus
With a sense of urgency
Directing people that mistake
I'm pasta bus
Of America's founding father
I would soon find out where they were going
It's 3 on Wednesday afternoon
I don't know if it's overwhelmed police
I'd invaded the heart of American democracy
We were watching The Angry Crowd climb the staircase
Unclear where they were heading
I know this Capitol complex well
But I was disoriented
So I posed to understand their motives and intentions
What's the purpose of storming Congress itself
Tell us we didn't see what we saw
These people
Not until they f****** show
What actually went on
They all know they're lying
Every last one
And then I realized to protest his whole being directed towards the office of Nancy Pelosi
A democrat in the powerful speaker of the house
Pelosi is a hate figure to the far-right
And her wouldn't nameplate was torn off the wall
And smash
The perpetrator spotted on camera
He is still angry pointing at us
Isaiah Shaw is held up to a camera as a
I got to go brother
People Like Us
We were good people
The government did this to us
We are protesting for Freedom right now
Still they are suspicious about Moto
And who we're up
Percent
We all know that they change the rules mid-game
And they're not being held accountable
And that's a shame
We're tired of waiting
For people that been promised
Promising us
Hillary Clinton's going to go to jail
4/4 years now when we know
Procedures
Criminal activity
By destroying
Evidence that was subpoenaed
She's not been held accountable
We don't expect he wants to be held accountable either take a stand
We're still over here right now brother
Expect to get this for winter gasconade we're not trying to hurt nobody
We want these people to be held accountable
The laws that we seen them by Olay
And that's all there is to it that powerful obsession with debunk Hillary Clinton
Remains a unifying force in pyrite Circle
Everywhere you turn in the Trump World
You encounter wild and dunk
Conspiracy
Linea living in an echo chamber
Quit Democratic communists
Where the political establishment is evil
We've seen it with a growing qanon movement
Don't believe that the reason secretively depositing forces
Trying to destroy America
Listen again to Scott
Electrician from West
Virginia
Tired of Mitch McConnell
We're tired of the damn pedophilia network has been up to
China communist party know what they're doing
You know what you're going to Terry's country damn
And following the president's rhetoric of a stolen election
A whole new conspiracy theory has been born
Trump came to power on a line about Obama's nationality he is leaving the wife
Having convinced million to be supporters to buy into another conspiracy theory
We have to make sure Donald Trump get in
We cannot allow it to be stolen from us
What's the evidence that it was stolen
Well
Every state
Oovah voter fraud every state
There's evidence
Every single
The storming of Congress was to summon almost
Religious experience
A few were playing in French
With some of the police officers complicit in this security.
Perhaps even sympathetic
The Trump song
I so not
Collaboration
Putting comp
Confusion written on their faces
An alien our off-price supposed to ride the first glimpse
Hesitant reinforced
But I saw something else as well
Huntington Nation from losing power to believe
Good white medicine Sonata grave and immediate threat
And I thought back six months
To another style of policing ahead
Anti-racism protests were aggressively broken off all summer long
Are you scared here the moment
Too many on the left either. If you apply a peaceful rally with no
We tolerated you would be given the benefit of the doubt
On Wednesday two hours after the storming
If Congress has begun
We saw the police inside the building
Finally on
Andre Walters aka the pro Trump supporters from the Rotunda
Officers belatedly trying to regaining
These insurrectionists
Were dispersed
Do I have a strong sense that grievances are only hockey
These Americans
Suspicious of government in the first place
Are in danger of being increasingly radical
With what is impossible to push out of the door
All the conspiracy theories
The choke poison America
Where does all this leave this great nation
Even when the president leaves the White House it doesn't mean the end of trump
Ism
He has vowed to run for a second term by all accounts and number of
People believe that his political
Future is over in the wake of the attack against the
The capital
But this is a President Who
Is no stranger to
To be in battle
Himself political battles and so I wouldn't be
Be surprised if this
Is not the end of Donald
I told you filming I saw you filling up them. out there
Fort Fisher is in no doubt
What we witnessed on Wednesday
It's just a
In the same way that 2020 has been kind
Characterizes the Earth
I think it's possible that 2021
Could become
Answer the year of insertion
As you have all these people being
Cold by the current president
But the incoming Administration is illegitimate
Those folks are going to continue believing the things they believe they're going to continue carrying the guns they carry
And now they're going to believe that their present
I think it's possible that there's going to be in
A huge uptick in political violence
Joe Biden is a week away from becoming America's full he's sick
Next president
His campaign was based on the idea he can heal this nation
Bridge the Great Divine
But he described what happened on Wednesday
In the strongest possible terms
Witness yesterday
Not the scent
It was not disorder
It was not protest
It was chaos
They weren't protesters
Don't dare call them protest
They were a riotous mob
Insurrectionist
Domestic terrorism
That basic is that simple
But today Donald Trump denied the charge of inciting violence
Dismissed impeachment does a tremendous Danger
And suggested that legally
He was in the clear
And everybody took the totally appropriate okay thank you
I have covered American politics so many years
I have seen the divisions in the passion
I know that they come with this vibrant
Medical system
With the cultural landscape is changing a new forces are emerging
Call Colin Hanson
Like this African American militia
What is being formed
To challenge its white counterparts
And Frankie what frightens me
Is the new level of malice and Rantoul
Outside of Congress on Wednesday
Anuschka prepared
I'm at the foot of those guys one name was being rich
With the farm allegations
And suggestions the president-elect
Should be here
Now the Great
Constitutional theater of impeachment is underway
The president be charged with inciting insurrection
The country can emerge from this era of business but it will not be easy
It is a generational battle to regain a sense
Respect and decency
Answerability
Those quintessential American values
