in some cases are not winning they

were just a few officers that some of the stores and many of these

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:30.330
stories and windows or not guarded they were locks but they

Hop into the people's house and eventually get with.

00:03:45.830 --> 00:03:50.760
Speaker...it's too late once everyone is the building and you don't

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:52.000
they're.

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.050
Not going through any form security you don't know if they've got...you know, they're carrying

00:03:56.050 --> 00:04:00.810
some cases pipes and other things so it's too late at that point although

00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:06.350
it does okay...other after the breach of the capital around two pm the

00:04:06.350 --> 00:04:09.520

...detailed panic phone calls from mayor browser asking them to

00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:23.520
activate their state's national guard something the defense department had refused to do

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.050
with that point I also told them that I authorized the mobilization of the maryland

00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:34.030
national guard and that I was ready willing and able to immediately deploy them to the

00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:39.650
capital however we were repeatedly denied approval to do is

00:04:39.650 --> 00:04:44.280

paul irving and capitol police chief steven

00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:10.580
son have resigned let me just say this...many of our

00:05:10.580 --> 00:05:15.030
capitol police just acted so bravely so

00:05:15.030 --> 00:05:18.900
with such concern for the staff for the members of the

00:05:20.070 --> 00:05:24.260
...the capital of the united states but I think it's clear that there was a

00:05:24.260 --> 00:05:26.590
sort of monumental failure and the

00:05:26.590 --> 00:05:30.730
capitol police no doubt are trying to get their ducks in a

00:05:30.730 --> 00:05:35.140
row to explain how this could have unfolded in this way the

00:05:35.140 --> 00:05:39.660
morning after seven foot tall non scalable fencing was erected around the

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:42.740
capital which will remain in place for at least thirty

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:47.720
days the fbi issued a call for tips to help them identify rioters who

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:53.930
invaded the building these are brave capitol police officers men and women and,

00:05:53.930 --> 00:05:56.320
they all work very hard put themselves in harm's way

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:00.700
...on a regular basis and I don't know that there's a page...play book

00:06:00.700 --> 00:06:05.220
that addresses presidential inspired mob moi.
