They came from all 50 states
Out of some sense of patriotic Duty
So much more than just rallying for our way of life
The American dream
Against fake news
The protesting election-day beliefs have been stolen
We're here Patriots
Where in Washington DC capitol building
Dead in front of us
Third day of action will be January 6th
When Congress vote count electoral ballot
And ratify the 2020 election results
For some it was just a rally for their present
Brothers
It was a call to Arms
March on Congress
In the weeks beforehand
There were over a million mentions on social media
Storming the capitol
Maps were shared of the building's layout
There was talk of bringing weapons and ammunition
I'm still stressing over which lawmakers should be targeted first
This anger
Was based on a lie
This election was a fraud
Allied direct grow more frenzied after the election
President Trump won this election today in Philadelphia
And it's Rick steal the election in Milwaukee
Not acceptable
This is outrageous
Allied spread by the president and his closest allies call out cheating when we fight it
All hell is
Everyone's going to remember
Who actually stands in the breach and fights tomorrow and who goes running off like a chick
Weebly freedom
Will be there Waterloo and we will sacrifice for freedom
Will be
What happens next
Who's chaos
Insurrection
Death
Then they began a campaign to whitewash his
Starting at the top
It was a zero threat right from the start it was Zero threat and spreading throughout the Republic
The party even call you insurrection
It wasn't
Buy largest
Peaceful protest
One lawmaker who helps barricades the house tours
No suggest there was barely any fresh
You didn't know that
Footage was a video from January the
6
You would actually think
It was a normal
Tourist visit
This was not
And the proof is in the footage
A part of a six-month investigation the New York Times as collected in forensic analyzing thousands of videos
Most films by the writers themselves
We obtained internal police radio traffic
And went to court to unseal police body cam footage
All reconstruction
Shows the capitol Riot for waterfalls
A violent assault
Encouraged by the president
On a seat of democracy that he vouched
Protect
Will charcoal police leaders failed to heed warnings of an impending attack
Putting rank-and-file officers in danger
Will trachte instigators in the marble taking advantage of weaknesses in the capital's defenses
Recognize a wave of violence that engulfed the building
Wheelchair for the first time the many simultaneous point of attack
NCH breaches
Apart appear to be an impenetrable institution of government
Which show how the delay to secure Congress likely cost to ride her her life
And how for some
Storming the capital was part of the plan all along
It's the morning of January 6th
And thousands are feeling the National Mall in Washington
Trumpet speak here at the ellipse
A large park near the White House
Add a half-hour walk to the US Capitol
Are the election movie search
Who's actually In This Crowd
Most are ordinary citizens who believe that the election was stolen
Going to be a great day
But we also see more extreme groups
Who gained the following during Trump's present
They were followers of the qanon conspiracy
Who believe that Trump is facing down a Chabad of Satan worshipping paedophile
Q posts often invoke Notions of patriotism
I predict
Coming storm
Ahead of January 6th
Trump supporters call for violence
The Oath Keepers a far-right paramilitary group are also he
Yep men already stationed outside DC
Their leader has said the group is ready to follow Trump's orders
And take members of what they called a deep stays into custody
They're organized
Staging their military-style equipment sneakily on the ground
Laser they put on body armor
Talking radios
Unchaste with their supporters on a walkie-talkie app called Zello
We have a good group we got about
3047
We're sticking together
Sticking to the plan
Y'all were one block
I'm probably going to go silent when I
A little busy
Another group is the proud boys
Their far-right nationalist
Flash white power sign
Throughout the day
Check out all this hits.
They became a household name when Trump invoke them during a presidential debate
Stand back and standby
And that's what they did
They have a history of Street violence
I will be key instigators of the Raya
New return to them soon
Although the rally is billed as a political protest
Some make calls
Storm the capitol
Even before Trump speaks
And later when Trump does take the stage
We're going to walk down
Some here is worth of the call to action
2 hours before this
The proud boys were already heading for the
They're clearly spoiling for a fight with far-left agitators like antifa
Play believer indeci
World dance
But there are moments that suggest another motive
That f****** yelled at
They're organized to
Many are marked with orange tape
Perhaps
Another word for the marching with us
We got hitting guys ever
They're wearing body armor
Carrying baseball bats
Using radios
That's affirmative
Leaving them is Ethan nordean

The tone is becoming menacing
Now what's up
Just ahead officers guarding the building are understaffed and ill-equipped for what's coming their way
The building is more than two football fields in length
Are barricades erected on the east side or defend it but just a few dozen office
The West Side facing Trump's rally is even lighter
The fencing has been extended
I don't the Northwest approach only five officers SunGard
Around 5 also defended Southwest approach
A few more. The lawn
A deposit dozen officers are behind them
Plans to storm the capital remained in plain sight
But the FBI and Department of Homeland Security did not deem those threats as credible
Capitol Police leaders in Washington's mayor rewards at least 3 times a violent threats
But also didn't take them seriously or circulation that information
Entel declined offers of security Personnel from federal and other agencies
They could have been listed several hundred more Capitol Police were Duty on January 6th
What did not
And none of the officers on the barricades have protect
Shakira crowd-control equipped
As a result the capital is sparsely defended

Proud boys start fighting the police
And with others in the mall
