0 authoritarian state. that is the destruction of democracy. and we can't let them do it. we're doing our part. thank you for joining us for this hour. have the best evening b with the ones you love.see you we'll see you tomorrow. and welcome to hannity. and we start with the fox news alert breaking tonight . we have all three major broadcast networks, fake news, cnn, msnbc, all happily broadcasting well, the dullest the most boringel. there's absolutely nothingng nothing new . multi hour democratic fundraiser masquerading as a january six hearing. going to and by the sounds of it, they're going to do hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of t us produced by a former abc executive, 100% hollywood production with all the creative licensesere that wd go along with that. butt make no mistake, tonight's so-called hearing is not in good faith. it is not an honest probe into the security breakdown on that fateful day and we will prove that to tonight instead it is i a made for tv smear campaign against president trump featuring sliced and dicededngit video that fits their predetermined political narrative from the verysrede beginning, accompd by the biggest trump haters on capitol hill. every single person on this committee is on record hating presidentco trump and they allim voted to impeach him. now people.. who support donald trump were not allowed toic participate on this illegitimate hyper partisan committee and sadly those runningsanit the circus are not interested in what went wrong. they're not wrong. interested it actually happened. they are purposely omitting what critical information we will tell you about tonight andd we will show you abo tonight tht will reveal where massive security failures did occur and beyond that show you the people that are responsibles for all of those security failures and how the committeeee is protecting all of them from being exposed. tonight we will name names. we will also show you how president from our defensent department, the capitol police offered, every warning and opportunity to protect the capital andrtun they were rejected every single time. we must learn the truth so something like this can ever happen again. i spoke about it in real time on my radio show and on january six on this program that night. now sadly, this committee no over safetycs on this program we believe that improving security at the capital , protecting all elected officials is of the utmost importance rather than a vengeful smear campaignpo like we see unfolding.s so unlike this committee and their cheerleaderss in thee media mob, we will actually be telling you the truth now tonight thanks to the very diligent reporting from john solomonti, we now have troves of newly unearthed documents h and our own sources and we have now been able to put together a criticalim timeline that i promise you're anywhere else.seeee now this is the officiall timeline of the capitol police as obtained by investigative reporter john solomon. he will join om us in a little bit. . d we begin on january 2nd 2020 one we now know today definitively that on january 2nd, four days before the six that trump's department of defense and one of his officials from the trump administration in fact reached out to the capitol police department asking the deputy chief if they wereey planning on calling up the national guard to help protect the capitol ahead of the massive rally that was plannedla on january 6th. now the next day on january 3rd after consulting with the capitol police chief deputy chief sean gallagher told the department of defense that a request for national guard was not forthcoming. however, shortly thereaftercu they got new and darker security assessments that wereth issued to the house and senate sergeant at arms and they discovered that in fact radical groups were planning violence. now according tont the assessment, it said quote, due to these tense the tense political environment following the 20 20 election, the threatsr of disruptive actions orup violence cannot be ruled out and a continued quote the sense of desperation and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent. o now one day laterne than on january 4th, d the capitol police chief steve son he rightly based the new intelligence, changed his mind and began the process of now seeking permission from the office of nancy pelosiwo and chuck schumer to in fact deploy the national guard using that intelligence. now the house and the senate sergeant arms, they deniedue this request. why weren't they called before this hearing anyway? so president trump and top dodt officials, they forged ahead with plans to make a massive amount of national guard troops available. you might remember the previous summer. this is coming off ng the summer o of 500. of 574 offi seventy four official riots in this country where dozensci l americans were killed, whereed thousands of police were injured, wherelice there was o billions of dollars in property damage. so they rightly prop wanted to prepare.th and on january 4th, a meeting took placeen come on in the ovad it featured president trump, his chief of staff, mark meadows, acting defense secretary chris miller, the department of defense chiefc of staff kashhi patel, who will also join us tonightls and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley, president trump in that meeting requested that up to 20 thousand nationald guard troops be made availableur for security at the capitol for january six as the law requires him to authorize. now the washington post. ed they lied and claimed that they must have made this up. they gave four pinocchio's and as per usual, the washington post is either dishonest or lazy or both. they didn't talk to the people that were actually in the meeting we did on this program for the officials four out of the five present in the oval office have on this program corroborated our reporting. takera a look for yourself. did you authorize calling up the guard and then it became as the chain of command went to nancy pelosi and to the mayor of d.c., muriel bowser, did youl as required by law authorize that 100% and attested to by many people and they turned it down, nancy b b pelosi turned it down. mayor bowser's written refusal ow betweencate the leader of the capitol police and their chainpo of command to the dod, refusing our request to allow national guardsmen and women to stage on january four and five before january 6th. did you both ask for the national guard to be called ? up? >> without a doubt. without a de john , we've made that very, clear not just once but on numerous occasions. we wanted to make surety that there was plenty of national guard on the ready in case there was some kind of violence. i had a meeting with president trump on the 3rd ofom january concerning some international threats and at the very endl he asked if there were any requests for national guard support. >> what was the president's response to you's with regard tt the requests madeo by mayorma bouser? yo > fill it and do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators. jus now, in addition tot what youas just heard, there was one other person in the room and that is the chairman of the joint chiefs, general milley. now this week people close tose him have confirmed directly to me that the general absolutely recalls conversa actions with president trump about security prior to january six . now where more than an hour into the capitol show tonight , this so-called hearing apparently there's going to be what plan hearings in perpetuity by the sounds of and this critical information, this critical meetingcrit has ne been mentioned one time, not one time. whyime.? because it doesn't fit. fit, sadly, they are predetermined w political outcome which we all know is to smear once again donald trump. it's kind of hard to say to somebody that somebody wanted a riot and instigated a riot when that same person authorized up to twenty thousand troops to protect that veryry capital whee the so-called riot is going to take place. now keep in mind, according to defense experts, the capital would not have been breached with thousands of national guard soldiers providing security. let me say it another way. had they actually listened to president trump? had they listened toad the experts at the department of defense january six nevererpp would have happened. they didn't listen. they were deaf. they cared not to protect the capital . they knewth they had five hundred and seventy four riots the summer before. they knew tensionsthe in the country were high and they didn't do their duty. they were begged repeatedly to take the guard and they wouldn't do it. now while the president can make national guard troops available, it is important to note well then it becomes the responsibility of speaker pelosi . she's inec charge of security at the capitol and also d.c. mayor bowser. she hasr the jurisdiction they both have the authority att that point once the president authorizes the troops tos be called up, they're the oneso that have to deploy d the troops to the capital and surrounding areas. so the question that and not asking that they should be asking why didn't pelosi, i why didn't bouser, why didn'tt schumer, why didn't the sergeant at armsan call up the guard? why didn't you call ups the guard? why didn't schumer say, you know what , we should listen to the experts? why didn't the sergeant at armsh in the house and senate listenou to the capitol police chief when he was begging them? you know, why did they deny the capitol police chief the troops he said he needed? now if this committee cared at all about the truth, if they cared at all aboutin preventing something like this , which we should all agree on from ever happening again, they would be demanding answers from pelosi and schumer and bowzer and both the sergeant of arms att the in the house and in the senate and the capitol police chiefef and the deputy police chief and everyone else that would be responsible for securing c the capitol. why didn't this committee subpoena all of these people, demand all of their textt messagesde, all of their emails and depose all of them now even the vengeful and very trump obsessed liz cheney, she actually admitted tonight i couldn't believe my earsieve that the violence on january six was not spontaneous. she said it it was not the result of the president's speech. instead, shein points outhe p is preplanned. as you watch this , ask yourself, well, if you knew ahead of time that people were planning violence, whyleat didn't everybody k that knew this ? whyf did they if you knew about this , why didn't you call in the guard? >> take a look.he the attack on our capital was not a spontaneous riot intelligence available before january six identified plans to, quote, invade a capital, occupy the capital and take other steps to halt congress's count of electorales votesha that dayt . okay, so now we all they all knew the violence was preplanned. now that brings us to january 5th. 2020 one that evening. we now know that the fbi shared intel with the capitol police revealing that some january six attendees were plotting an attempt to violently wti storm the capitol. that's the day before, quote, an online threat discussed specific calls for violencefic o include stating tody be ready to to fight congress needs to hear glass breaking doors being kicked in d. they intercepted intel goess on to say quote get violent, stop calling this a v march or rally or protest. go there ready for war . they knew this on the 5th and according to this document on your screen, the capitol police emailedee the senateat sergeant at arms warning about this group that is quote promoting the photos of the capitol tunnel systemthe online and stating their goal of finding democratic members early to block them from even entering the capitol. the same e-mail revealed that rioters were planning to create a perimeter around the capitol. despite all of that intelligence on january 5th, d.c. mayor j muriel bowser wrote a letter that day to the dodie's explicitly asking them not to deploy national guard troops to the capitol on january six . why would she ever make that decision again? why didn't they liftoffsonen her with all the intelligence they had ahead of time to protect the capital to protect every elected official? >> is anyone on this committee are they ever going to ask that question of mayor bowser? they ever going to bring in nancy pelosi and ask her why she didn't calll the guard? they don't seem to care apparently because those people have not been interviewed according to allrd the reports i'm reading, they only seem to care about one thing and thiss is sadad because that house is our house. that's the people's houser ho. that's your house. and we need to protect . r institutions i don't care if you're republican or democrat and i said it on the sixth we got to protect our elected officials. it's that simple and it seems c they only care about smearing trump exciting their base, maybe raising money off all this . which now brings us to janhur six . now that morning during his speech, president trumpmp remember he said these words t and they have yet to bring himo up. what a shockup. he said many of you now will peacefully and patrick march to the capital . so your voices may be heard and call for violence kindd of just the opposite of what chuck schumer said on the steps of the u.s. supreme court when he threatened justices. and we alll know what happened yesterday anyway. t >>he here's the president on january six . takey a look. at i know that everyone here willer soon be marching over toe the capitolar building tope peacefully and patrioticallyac make your voices heard. okay,>> unfortunately, when the january committee features they have clips from trump. i'llesm get any amount of money. they're goingand to slice and e and edit around that part where he says many of you will now peacefully patriotically marchch to the capitol so your voices will be heard. hmm. i wonder why now in the hours that followed capitol police, t they are ill prepared. they were outmanned and according to the department'sor after action report, anti riot squads did not respondnd in a timely manne. many t of their radios were not workingt and much of their riota gear was locked in a bus and they couldn't find a key. and ultimately the capitol police chief requestedel the nationalalst guard and asked for help six different times. and it wasn't until way late in the afternoon that pelosi finally said, okay, by that point it was too late. the capitol had been breached and ever since democrats have usedance this awful day as a d political weapon, they don't actually care about riots or improving safety and security. it's s all political ., remember right now there's no congressional committee. ask yourself why don't we have a committee looking into the five hundred and seventyn four riots that took place in the summer of 2020 dozens of. dead americans, thousands of injured police officers, billions in property damage. where's that congressionalag committee on the federal courthouse in portland. remember night after night lit on fire for week w after week by far left protest. what ? no hearings on that. those lives don't matter. that property damage doesn't matter. those police don't matter. so here we are suffering through yet another anti trump smear that will accomplishh absolutely nothing. it with reaction is the person first got a hold of the capitol police timeline. investigative reporter and the editor of justt the news.com on solomon, your work has been phenomenal. your headlinek h is trump. pentagon first offered national guard to capitol four days before january six riots. okay, let's add the color around this because there's a lot more totoore the timelinn what i've just laid out. d you've done a good job. those on you really succinctly y nailed what happenedou. these are four days of infamyam for days when the capitol police nancy pelosi, chuck schumer leadership could have hardened the capitol, could have gotten the resources in place, could have made the strategic decisions, could have accepted the national guard help that would have ould men and women in blue on the capitol who got injured that day. it is overwhelmingly clear that these were repeated political decisions made instead of security decisions. i'm just oty d give you one twoe examples because i think i they're both very important when the house sergeant at arms turns down chief son's request on january 5th for the national guard deployment, he tells themo it's because of optics. optics isfs. not a security ter it is a political term. n they were notot making a securiy decision. they for the men and women ofhe the capitol police force or for the lawmakers in that capitol building, they were making a political bui statement and that's why they turned downl this out that same night when the deputy police chief sean gallagher begins c getting this information coming in from the fbi. there are two waves of, fbi information that come in between five o'clock and about nine thirtyth on the night. the first one is a what weene would call an intelligenceca warning. gi it comes from norfolk, virginia and it's very specific. there's going to t be youhe read some of it, there's going b to be violence. they want to breach the capitol. they want to target lawmakers. t very clear what they're trying to do a few hoursrs after the national threat center, the fbi here in washington, c. began getting information from our website. a website owner said, hey,a i'm seeing some weird activity of some of the people talking about going to the capitol tomorrowinoi. i don't like to look at this . would you look at and they start pulling down and they see the people coming out. the bad actors on january six have maps . they'reng instructing peoplee how to go through the library of congress through tunnels , get into the capitol building and take the capitol buildingg, hostage. this information comes in to the deputy police chief i. according to the senate report, they looked at all these documents. it was never givenenwas toli the commanders of the capitol police. it wasn't given to the chief oft the capitol policee in. as it wasn't given to the men and women on the front lines that day. many who didn't have l helmets and shields and other proper equipment for the threat assessmentr that was emerging. where was it sent? itit was sent to a political person. it was sent to a woman named califate who is a trusted t political aide, long term aide of senator chuck schumer,s the political people, the political elites got a warning. hey, stay away from the tunnels . the police who could have a prevented it, the national guard who could have preventedwa they don't get that warning three days four days of infamy,o political decisions over security decisions i time and time again. john , stay right there. we s want to bring in our cash battle. he was the chief of staff for acting secretary of the defense department, chris miller. now you're basically this new information cash. you were in the ovalio office on the 4th of january , two days before you were there. you, told me mark meadows has told me chris miller has told me and the president has told me both you and chris went under oath beforeai this committee. >> correct. so t you said this to the committee under the threat of perjury. right? that's correct. all right. in fact, that you were offering these guard troops at almoste now sounds like what john's new information that your department y, the department of defense was pretty much beggingo them to take the time to take the guard and they kept refusing t in spite of all of your efforts to reach out and convince them the threat was real. you're absolutely you're absolutely right, sean. and the defense department rige
