This is inside or look at this
Protesters
Arkancide Statuary Hall
Right now you see the statues this is a moment I never saw in my life these individuals
Rush through security
They are
Inside Statuary Hall
This is a legendary
A legendary
A place where all of us so covered Capitol Hill
It's hard to believe what we're seeing right there they're just walking through where are
Capitol Police
It's a strange
It's an awful situation
They're having a good time
In Statuary Hall Jake Tapper
I don't know about you but this is
Incredibly dangerous situation
That's unfolding here
In the United States
It's a stunning
Well if it's absolutely stunning and it's
Quite frankly dangerous President Trump could stop this with one tweet
But instead he's on Twitter attacking
Vice president Pence for refusing to go along
With his attempt
A Deku in a bloodless coup we hope it stays bloodless
And you have protesters
Accosting Senators you have p
People
Congress being evacuated because of bomb threats
Yeah protesters right outside this
Senate chamber
It is a
Buried
Potentially dangerous
Situation I've been in Washington for decades now I've never seen
Anything like this and again
President Trump if he wanted
2
And there is really no reason to think he wants to
He could stop
He could stop it with one tweet and he will not
Because
Frankly
He likes
As by not by not
Discouraging
What we are saying the president is encouraging what we are saying
Just to see her
Has in a much more over way
Over and over and over again
With his tweets
Completely irresponsible and this
Is
The results of that
Unfortunately as unusual as and as
Terrifying and as
Surprising
As what we are saying is going on
In a lot of ways it is
One of the least
Surprising things what is
What is remarkable that this hasn't this kind of thing hasn't happened earlier because
That
These
Protesters of course have the right to protest
But this is beyond that
And John said this is
Basically this is basically
Taking over storming the capital
Is that okay it really is anarchy
And the president
Has encouraged this time and time again
And they're stopping at
Institutional
Peaceful transfer of power and who has some more breaking news
About this
Security issues at the United States Capitol which has now been stormed by
Hundreds of trump
Supporters who have been fed the lie for months
By the president and others
The election was fraudulent it was not
But they are angry they're upset and now there is a very real risk of violence Pamela
Sources Jake
To tell me that the situation
It is getting out of
Control that it is has turned
Insane frankly and that the
Other law enforcement has been asked
To help by Capitol Police they have been reaching out to Federal authorities
And local authorities
Asking them
To come help I'm told by a local law
Open source that the MPD syllables
Disturbance unit
Personnel they have been deployed there
To the Capitol Building to help other Federal authorities have
I've been called the help and another issue they're dealing with
Are there several suspicious
Packages around the building I'm told that
The Capitol Police
Are looking at
They are examining
Suspicious packages we know we've already reported that we have heard
Flashbangs there
I'm all social for a source on the ground that
Pepper spray has been deployed and and so forth
So there are more
Audible
Security situations going on as we are
Seeing this unfold there
And real-time this remarkable unprecedented situation of the Capitol building
The definition of sedition is
Is try to overturn the rule of law
Force and that is what we are Witness
Trump supporters who have been lied
To bite
Trump and
His minions individuals like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley line to buy Mega Media
Have
Been insane
An outraged and they are now
Are resorting to
Resorting to to physically trying to storm the capitol
To stop the
The Constitutional process
Of electors being
Accounted for the person
Who won the election Joe Biden the Pres
Intellect that is what's going on that is what we are witnessing in
There are a lot of people who are complicit
And that's it will not succeed Joe Biden will be sworn in on January 20th
But it want some point
You have to ask yourself if you're Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz or matt gaetz
Or
Either of the murdocks you have to ask yourself
What am I

Creating Heat
What have I Unleashed
This is the United States of America and we're watching protesters
Try to
Undermined the course of an election

Truforce
By storm in the United States capitol
If you take chicken starting to rot but look at those pictures have you ever seen anything like that
How many cc's are protesters
Outside
On the steps of the Capitol there physically in there while it's a fitting end
Into an era that has been characterized by lawlessness
The President Trump
The reason this
This is happening is because President Trump wanted
Vice president Pence to act in a lawless way
In his procedural duties today
And now his supporters
In their anger are basically breaking into the capitol forcing members of
The Congress
To go into hiding
Because they've been as you said Jake
Live so I apologize for interrupting I be like I just want to say
The mayor of Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser is now
Ordering a six
P.m. curfew in Washington DC
Because of these protests which have turned
Violent individuals
Who have been fed lies as you noted
Now storming the capital to try to stop the Constitutional process please I'm sorry
Has tweeted in the last few minutes but he has said nothing
To disavow this
Exactly in fact he has been
Upping the rhetoric against
Mike Pence
And
That is
It was beyond a responsible he has a responsibility these are his supporters
They're carrying Trump flag
So he could say to that
Stop
Back away
Don't do this and he won't do it
