The committee has conducted
extensive work to understand
what led the proud boy tease --
proud boys and other rioters to
the capitol on January 6.
We have obtained substantial
evidence showing that the
president's December 19 who,
calling his followers to
Washington DC on January 6
energized individuals from the
proud boys and other extremist
groups.
I'd like to play a brief video
highlighting some of this
evidence.
>> My name is Marcus Childress
and I'm an counsel for the
select committee investigating
the January 6 on the U.S.
Capitol.
>> Proud boys, stand back and
stand by.
>> After hearing this comment,
the vin chairman said I am
standing by, sir.
During our investigation, we
learned this comment actually
led to an increase in membership
in the proud boys.
>> Would you say that proud boys
membership increased after the
stand back and stand by comment?
>> I would say exponentially
with the potential for a lot
more eventually.
>> Did you sell any stand back
and stand by merchandise?
>> I wish I would have made a
stand back and stand by shirt.
>> President trump tweeted about
the January 6 rally and told
members to be there.
Many were inspired by the
president's call and came to
D.C. On January 6, but
extremists took it a step
They viewed it as a call to
arms.
A day later the department of
justice described how they
established a command structure
in anticipation of coming back
to D.C. On January 6.
The department of justice
describes him coming into
possession of a document called
1776 returns, which describes
individuals occupying key
buildings around the united
States capitol.
>> You better get to D.C. This
Saturday.
>> If you don't, there will be
no more republic.
President trump has encouraged
and bolstered and strengthened
to do what we must do before we
end up in a bloody fight.
We all know that, the fight is
coming.
>> According to the department
of justice, the oath keepers
leader said to his followers
that we are not going to get
through this without a civil
war.
The oath keepers focus on
January 6 in Washington DC, in
response to the tweet, one
member put on social media, the
president called us to the
capital and wants us to make it
-- although president trump had
just lost the election.
The oath keepers set up quick
reaction forces outside the city
in Virginia where they stored
arms.
The goal of these quick reaction
forces was to be on standby,
just in case president trump --
>> Did the oath keepers?
Ever provide weapons to members?
>> I will declined to answer
that.
>> In footage obtained by the
committee, we learned that on
the night of January 5, they met
in a parking garage in
Washington D.C.
>> We are fighting the same
fight.
>> The committee learned that
the oath keepers went into the
capitol through the east doors
into stacked formations.
One of the stacks went into the
capital looking for speaker
Pelosi, although they never
found her.
As the attack was unfolding,
documents -- he said encrypted
chat, make no mistake, we did
this.
Later on that evening, Mr.
Tarrio posted a video which
seemed to resemble him in front
of the capitol in a black cape.
The evidence developed in the
select committee and the
departments justice highlights
how each group participated in
the attack on the capitol on
January 6.
>> In fact, the investigation
revealed it was individuals
associated with the proud boys
who entered the P circle at
