and brian sicknick is representing all of them tonight. i'm sure they view him as a brother, as a fallen hero, as someone who was doing their job to protect one of our nation's greatest buildings and the emblem of democracy that he was so strongly and with great difficulty trying to protect from this invading anti-democratic mob. and it's -- it brings a lot of memories of -- for myself of just over a year ago, being in that capitol, working there every day. but it also really calls to mind the notion of patriotism. and i think the notion of trying to heal as a country, as a patriotic citizenry and someone who would defend the capitol to his death is certainly someone who we can admire and look up to and praise his patriotism. >> talk about the effect that that building has on people. i find that you never get used to it. there's a shot earlier of president biden and the first lady paying their respects. they came virtually unannounced. we knew that they were coming when we saw the presidential motorcade on the way to the capitol. no other

the third occasion when members of the capitol police have given their lives to protect me and brian sicknick will not be forgotten. for those who want to take this insurrectionist mob and the incitement of this mob as just another political protest, i ask them to reflect for a moment, please, on the graphic video evidence of what happened on that day as the people who were part of this mob took baseball bats and sticks and everything they could get their hands on and beat up against those law enforcement agents. it was a sad moment. yesterday's "new york times" spelled out what led up to it. a big lie that the former president of the united states actually won the november 3 election. denot. the votes were -- he did not. the votes were counted and he lost but he's never been able to accept that reality. and what he has done in the meantime is to foment a revolt against our government at the grassroots level across america. and that is the reason why a new attorney general brought to the position of leadership as quickly as possible is so important. i regret that once again i need to come to
