00:00Our democracy is under an unprecedented assault, unlike anything we've seen in modern times.
00:08An assault on the Citadel of Liberty, the Capitol itself.
00:15An assault on the people's representatives, and the Capitol Hill police sworn to protect them.
00:25And the public servants who work at the heart of our republic.
00:32An assault on the rule of law like a few times we've ever seen it.
00:39An assault on the most sacred of American undertakings, the doing of the people's business.
00:49Let me be very clear.
00:51The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America, do not represent who we are.
01:02What we're seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness.
01:10This is not dissent.
01:12It's disorder.
01:14It's chaos.
01:15It borders on sedition.
01:18And it must end now.
01:22I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.
01:30You've heard me say before in different contexts, the words of a president matter, no matter how good or bad
01:38that president is.
01:41At their best, the words of a president can inspire.
01:47At their worst, they can incite.
01:51At their worst.
01:53At their worst
