Never-before-seen footage presented at Thursday’s Jan. 6 select committee hearing showed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and then-Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) making urgent calls from secure locations during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“We have got to get… finish the proceedings or else they will have a complete victory,” Pelosi told someone on the phone at 2:23 p.m. while walking through the Capitol, with an alarm audible in the background.
In a separate clip from a secure undisclosed location the afternoon of Jan. 6, Pelosi tells a room full of a few people, including then-House Minority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), “there has to be some way we can maintain the sense that people have, that there’s some security, or some confidence, that government can function and that you can elect the president of the United States.”
When an unidentified person tells Pelosi that all individuals on the floor are putting on tear gas masks “to prepare for a breach,” the speaker turned to Clyburn and others in the room and asked “do you believe this?”
The committee also showed video taken around the same time of members walking through the Capitol, rioters running through the building and a group of people inside screaming “bring her out here.”
In a clip filmed at 3 p.m., Schumer tells Pelosi “I’m gonna call up the effing secretary of [defense].”
“We have some senators who are still in their hideaways,” Schumer tells acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller on the phone in a separate video, with Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) beside him. “They need massive personnel now. Can you get the Maryland National Guard to come too?”
“I have something to say, Mr. Secretary,” Pelosi said into the phone. “I’m gonna call the mayor of Washington, D.C. right now and see what other outreach she has, other police departments as Steny, Leader Hoyer, has mentioned.”
The panel then showed clips of Pelosi making calls to local leaders asking for help amid the riot.
“Hi governor, this is Nancy,” Pelosi said on the phone to Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D). “Governor, I don’t know if you have been approached about the Virginia National Guard, Mr. Hoyer was speaking to [Maryland] Governor [Larry] Hogan [(R)], but I still think you probably need the okay of the federal government in order to come into another jurisdiction.”
In the same clip, Pelosi is seen watching live video of the riot on CNN.
“Oh my gosh,” she said to Northam. “They’re just breaking windows, they’re doing all, all, kinds of, I mean it’s really, that somebody, they said somebody was shot.”
“It’s just, it’s just horrendous. And all at the instigation of the president of the United States,” she added.
The panel also showed video of Pelosi and Schumer speaking with Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen from the secure location at 3:25 p.m.
“They’re breaking windows and going in, obviously ransacking our offices and all the rest of that. That’s nothing. The concern we have about personal harm,” Pelosi said.
“Safety,” Schumer chimed in.
“Personal safety is, it just transcends everything,” Pelosi said. “But the fact is on any given day, they’re breaking the law in many different ways, and quite frankly, much of it at the instigation of the president of the United States. And now, if he could at least, somebody.”
“Yeah, why don’t you get the president to tell them to leave the Capitol, Mr. Attorney General, in your law enforcement responsibility? A public statement, they should all leave,” Schumer said.
In a subsequent video, Pelosi and Schumer are seen huddling with Republican leaders including Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Steve Scalise (La.) and John Thune (S.D.).
“This cannot be just we’re waiting for so-and-so, we need them there now, whoever you’ve got,” Schumer said.
