Tucker re-interviews Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund about the happenings on a certain January 6, an interview he did while with Fox News, but which never aired. Highlights include:
“If you wanted to understand what happened on January 6, 2021 at the US capitol, one of the first people you’d talk to, maybe the first, would be Steven Sund. Sund was the chief of Capitol Police that day, he knew more about what happened than virtually anyone else in the United States, and yet Congressional investigators weren’t interested in talking to him, the media not interested in talking to him, but we were…What he has to say is shocking; we recommend you watch.”
Sund: “…Coming into it, absolutely zero, with the intelligence we know now existed, talking about attacking the capitol, killing my police officers, attacking members of Congress and killing members of Congress, none of that was included in the intelligence coming up to it… Well, we now know FBI, DHS, was swimming in that intelligence. We also know now that the military seemed to have some very concerning intelligence as well…”
Sund: “…This gets really convoluted once you get into the response on January 6 and how I was delayed getting resources. You have the United States military, the acting secretary of defense, Miller, and General Milley had both discussed locking down the city of Washington DC because they were so worried about violence at the capitol on January 6. On Sunday and Monday they had been discussing locking down the city, revoking permits on capitol hill because of the concern for violence… You know who issues the permits on capitol hill for demonstrations, I do. You know who wasn’t told? Me. Instead, on January 4, what does Miller do? He puts out a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying various weapons, any weapons, any civil disobedience equipment that would be utilized for the very demonstrations or violence that he sees coming, it just doesn’t make any sense.”
Sund: “Congress passed a law that requires me to go to the Sergeant at Arms in advance of an event to request federal resources such as the National Guard. Congress passed a law, it’s 2 US Code 1970, look it up, just make sure you look it up before December 22 when they changed it . So, what was in effect on January 6…that requires me to go and get approval for bringing in National Guard or federal assistance, in advance, I have to go to the Capitol Police Board and get approval from Congressional leadership in advance, like I did on January 3. I was denied twice, because of optics and because the intelligence didn’t support it, think about that.”
Sund: “There’s a process for when law enforcement needs help and we dial 911, it’s to the military, and that failed. That failed miserably, because of the law Congress passed and the denial I was receiving.”
Sund: “There’s intel talking about going up and killing the ‘palace guards’, those are my officers. There’s intel talking about using chemicals at some of the entry points, there’s intel indicating that they’ve done surveillance at some of the entry points at the Capitol. None of that’s been included. They talk about burning down the Supreme Court, they talk about different attacks on different members of Congress and they talk about storming the building. Not a single word of that is included in any of the intelligence assessments. As a matter of fact, my intelligence unit is putting out documents on the fourth, fifth and sixth indicating a low probability of civil disobedience.”
Sund: “The very next day, less than 24 hours after we got control of the Capitol, Nancy Pelosi goes on national tv, blames the leadership at the top of Capitol Police, calls for my resignation on national TV and then lies about me.”
