- Last week, we saw one of the darkest days
in American history.
And for better or worse, I was there.
It was a day that began with the President holding
a rally outside of the White House to push lies
about voter fraud and urge his followers to take action
to overturn the election.
Excuse me, is the sedition happening over here?
Is the sedition, is it over here?
Do you know where the sedition is?
- [Rioters] Stop the steal, stop the steal!
Stop the steal, stop the steal!
- We do not consent to be governed by-
- Nor shall we ever be consented to be governed by
an illegal, fraudulent election.
- But you elected a guy who also doesn't care much
about consent.
- We do not consent.
- Will you accept Joe Biden as the President
of the United States on the 20th?
- No, I will not accept him.
No, I will not.
So look, what I, I've educated myself about this, okay?
I don't know all that's in the Constitution.
- Have you read it?
It's pretty short.
- The Constitution of America?
- Yeah.
- I've not read the whole thing, no.
You've read the entire thing?
- Yes, it's remarkably short.
- All right, I doubt that, but it's okay.
- You should read it, 'cause you might be committing
a seditious act in an hour and a half.
- Okay, I'm not comment about that.
- The people didn't vote for Joe Biden.
No, the Dominion System voted for Joe Biden.
- Do you think it's possible that Hugo Chavez infiltrated
the Dominion System to change the votes,
orchestrated by Joe Biden?
- I think anything's possible.
- Do you think it's possible that a President
who never polled above 50% lost the election
and is sore about it?
- Absolutely not.
- That's not possible.
The one thing you couldn't help by notice was just
how many people looked like they were preparing for battle.
From the tactical vests to the pitchforks,
this rally felt charged.
You can tell these people really love America
by the number of weapons they brought
to hurt other Americans.
- [Rioters] (beep) Antifa, (beep) Antifa!
- Looks like we got some Proud Boy action,
either that or the Cabela's street team.
- [Rioters] (beep) Antifa, (beep) Antifa!
- What's your flag say?
- Come and take it.
Do you have a weapon?
- No.
- No?
Why not?
Did they take it?
Sorry, bro.
I was worried that we were in trouble,
but then I saw that we got the Tyranny Response Team here
and I feel a lot better.
Thanks for all you do.
And for those supposedly caught off guard,
claiming they didn't see this violence coming,
if you'd paid attention to any of these rallies,
all you have to do is open your eyes and ears.
The message isn't exactly subtle.
- Make no mistake, we have the guns
and we are now in the streets.
We are gonna clean this place out,
one way or another.
You look down there, I have 1,000,000 plus people
(beep) angry, very, very angry people.
- Can I ask why you're carrying a pitchfork?
- Well, a pitchfork is a, it's just,
iconic representation of how,
of what people over time have done in this country.
- It feels more like a weapon, to be quite honest.
- No it's not, it's farm equipment.
And it's legal in this, in this city.
- Yeah, are you farming today?
- It's an icon, it's a representation.
We're not asking for violence right now.
- I got to tell you, from the movies I've seen,
the, the hoards of people with pitchforks are usually
the bad guys.
- How close do you think we are to 1861,
seriously? - But hang on.
- Are we close?
- Hell yeah, you are.
- That's the Civil War.
- Would you, would you rather die on your knees
than be free?
- Aren't you a little bit freaked out
about 600,000 Americans dying?
I see you're not wearing masks, never mind.
This thing was a powder keg.
All it took was someone to light the fuse,
like these human blowtorches.
- Let's have trial by combat.
- Stand up and fight.
Stand up and hold your representatives accountable.
- We're gonna walk down to the Capitol
because you'll never take back our country with weakness.
You have to show strength.
- [Jordan] With those orders,
the crowd of economically anxious insurrectionists advanced
on the Capitol.
- [Rioters] (beep) Antifa, (beep) Antifa!
(beep) Antifa, (beep) Antifa!
- So, we've been following this protest.
We've headed to the Capitol
and the Trump supporters just broke through the gates
and they're now heading into the Capitol, right now.
People are getting waived up towards the Capitol.
Take it back.
I'm hearing people say let's go, keep going.
Who are you with?
- The American people.
- The American people, are you military?
- I'm not answering that.
- You're not, so you're not military?
- No.
- Why are you dressed like military?
- I'm not, it's just clothes.
- Is that camouflage?
- It is.
- But, you're in an urban environment.
Isn't that sort of the antithetical to camouflage?
- I don't think so.
- Are you looking to make an aggressive action right now?
- No, I'm looking to make a statement.
- What's your statement?
- The election was stolen.
We want free and fair elections.
And if we can't have that in this country,
we don't have anything.
- So, what do you plan on doing?
- I'm just gonna see how it unfolds.
- Gonna see how it unfolds.
All right, good luck with the paintball tournament.
- Screw you, (beep).
- Can I, can I ask you some questions?
What's your plan?
- For what?
- What are, you're, you're, are you storming the Capitol?
- I'm just going up to check it for somebody.
- This is, is this the last stand?
- They say it is.
- This looks like the last stand.
Are you afraid if you run out of batteries
for the last stand that you'll be thwarted?
- Uh-uh.
- Good luck.
I hope you don't run into bumpy terrain or stairs.
While Segway Stonewall Jackson is laughable
on his child scooter, the rioters brought real weapons
and committed real atrocities.
They attacked our democracy, our police,
and even our cameraman.
- Hey, you assaulted me!
I was slaying and you assaulted me!
- Trump's fake tough guy military
are literally throwing themselves on the ground
to perpetuate victimhood.
If the Trump presidency was gonna come to an end,
this, this seems fitting, a show of aggression,
ending with a bunch of people screaming at a building
without a working understanding of how Democracy works.
America, 2021.
(distant booming) (people shouting)
Thunder?
Cannon?
Tear gas?
Let's not wait to find out.
In the end, the crowd didn't stop our democracy.
Lets take heart in that.
This shit stain rebellion failed,
as did my dry January.
