pelosi's office. that's what one of these demonstrators did. there is a photo of one of the r rioters sitting on her desk with his feet up. the rioter took away the name plate that's on top of her suite. these rioters sitting at desks. >> this is something that's not done. you don't walk into the senate floor and that's a place where the senators gathered and aids ga gathered. these rioters got into the chamber and stunning image sitting where the presiding officer sits and mike pence, the president of the senate sits while presiding over the chamber. >> while chaos reigned,

authorities made sure those members got out safely. while we were crouched down in those final moments, jason crowe told us to take our pins off so that when we got out of the hallway, if there were perpetrators there, they would not know we were members of congress. >> this identifies me as 117th members of congress. there was a line of s.w.a.t. officers with their guns drawn and they were holding back protesters. they took us to the underground tunnels and additional security and the speaker came in at one point and gave some remarks to reenforce our resolve and make a commitment that we are going to return that night. >> as both house members and senators staying locked down in the capitol fearing for their lives and vowing to return to

finish verifying the votes. the president and the personal lawyer were trying to stop it from happening. >> president trump and rudy giuliani both tried to reach out to newly elected senator to try to convince him to delay the certification in some way. this was all as the violence was taken place. the concern was not about whether tauberville was safe. >> i am calling because i want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing. we need you to slow it down so we can get these legislations and get more information. >> rudy giuliani left a voice mail on the wrong person's phone. he called senator mike lee thinking he was calling tommy tauberville. >> the president was quote

hadn't done it. >> i thought the message was as persuasive and sincere as a hostage tape. >> we fight, and we fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore. >> this was a manmade disaster. while he had a lot of people abetting him in this project, the man was the president of the united states. >> these people who are "f" capitol were radicalized by trump. >> we were normal law-abiding citizens and you guys did this to us! >> yes, the 25th amendment ought to be invoked. >> you incite a mob to violence and people commit violence and people are killed you're guilty. you're guilty of a crime. >> do you think president trump has blood on his hands? >> i think he does. >> if the vice president and the cabinet do not act, congress may

be prepared to move forward with impeachment. >> with less than two weeks left in this presidency, how on earth could you invoke the 25th amendment and get that done before the end of this term? how on earth could you have an impeachment process that results in a senate conviction? with less than two weeks to go? >> the president is not happy about another impeachment. the president didn't like being impeached the first time. he could be the first president to be impeached twice, and he is well aware of that. but he has been more consumed by the fact that his twitter feed was taken away. >> they were worried about plans of a future proliferation on twitter that regarded some planning for a secondary attack on the capitol on january 17th before the inauguration. >> we have a man who has proven he's willing to do just about anything, and if he gets back to

that place where he just wants to burn it all down, he'll look for opportunities to cause damage to the united states. >> today he's announcing that he will not attend joe biden's inauguration, one of the country's most symbolic acts for a peaceful transfer of power. >> what did all of this achieve today? >> we'll see. i think the people have spoken. >> the day isn't over yet and the week isn't over yet. there's still much more evidence that will come out. >> to all of my wonderful supporters. i know you are disappointed but i also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning. >> it was striking how easily these insurrectionists, these terrorists were able to penetrate the capitol. tough ask yourself the question, how did that happen? how could that possibly be? and then you contrast it with what we saw last summer when

there was a black lives matter march in washington. >> you saw mass arrests as these crowd members engaged in a counter police officers. you saw the president using law enforcement to clear a street in order to hold a photo op in front of a church. compare all of that with what we saw on january 6th at the united states capitol. we didn't see mass arrests we saw law enforcement officers opening the door, letting these criminals leave the building. >> these cops are very coolle they're leak, hey, guys, have a good night. you can see some of them are on our side. >> no one can tell me that if that had been a group of black lives matter protesterss yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the capitol. >> i sat on the set on wednesday night and watched these scenes from our capitol, and i cried.

i love this country. i believe in this country. i believe in our democracy with all its imperfections. >> everybody stay down. >> what happened in the united states of america was devastating. and i hope that feeling is pervasive and i hope that it causes all of us to do some thinking about where we go from here and how we prevent such a thing from ever happening again. >> more than 150 people have been charge in the federal court in the weeks following the domestic terror attack on the united states capitol that resulted in multiple deaths, including a capitol hill police officer who died from injuries he sustained fending off the insurrectionists. former president trump has been banned permanently from his
