由於特區國民警衛隊不從屬於州長而是總統,特區國民警衛隊司令少將沃克指需要五角大樓的批准才能出動國民警衛隊,他又指軍隊要獲得國會警方批准才能進入其管轄範圍執勤。儘管桑德多番懇求支援,但陸軍中將沃爾特·E·派特(英语:Walter E. Piatt)表示自己沒有權限亦不會向陸軍部長麥卡錫提議出動國民警衛隊到國會。麥卡錫其後澄清自己並沒有參與這個電話會議中。
^特朗普:All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!
^朱利安尼:And if we're wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we're right, and a lot of them will go to jail. So — let's have trial by combat!
^莫·布魯克斯:Today is the day! American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass! Now our ancestors sacrificed their blood, their sweat, their tears, their fortunes, and sometimes their lives to give us, their descendants, an America that is the greatest nation in the world history. So I have a question for you: Are you willing to do the same? (Crowd cheers) My answer is yes! (Crowd cheers) Louder! Are you willing to do what it takes to fight for America?
^特朗普:We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.
^特朗普:Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!
^特朗普:Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!
^特朗普:I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!
^特朗普:I know your pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election. And everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time. It's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace, so go home. We love you. You are very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home with peace.
^特朗普:These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!
^特朗普:The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!
^特朗普:To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.
