The footage, which was recorded as the Capitol protests and subsequent violence unfolded, reveals Pelosi's admission of responsibility for the day's events, a stark contrast to her public stance over the past 44 months.
According to The Blaze, the footage shows Pelosi, in a moment of frustration, declaring, “I take the full responsibility.” This statement is a far cry from her public narrative, which has consistently placed the blame on former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and former President Donald Trump. The footage also reveals Pelosi's demand for the National Guard to “get rid of these people” on January 6, despite her office's earlier rejection of Sund's request for National Guard assistance.

In the footage, Sund is seen expressing his disbelief at Pelosi's statements regarding the lack of National Guard presence at the Capitol on January 6. He states, “I am stunned by the repeated statements by Pelosi about there not being any National Guard deployed to the Capitol in advance of the attack on January 6,” adding that it was Pelosi's sergeant at arms who denied his request for support on January 3, and then again repeatedly for 71 minutes while the Capitol was under attack.

The footage, which was part of an unaired documentary, was released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight after being obtained from Home Box Office Inc. The videos had been in the possession of the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee but were not turned over to House Republicans in January 2023 as required by House rules, said U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight.

Loudermilk criticized Pelosi's refusal to accept responsibility for her failure to secure the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. He stated, “For over three years, Nancy Pelosi has refused to take responsibility for her failure to secure the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021,” adding that as Speaker, Pelosi controlled House operations and security on the House side of the Capitol, a fact she acknowledges in the HBO footage.

The footage also reveals Pelosi's criticism of Sund and her staff director, Jamie Fleet. In one clip, Pelosi is heard saying, “I never liked Sund. I think he should have been gone a long time ago.” In another, she asks Fleet about his opinion of Sund, to which Fleet responds, “We’ve always been skeptical of Sund. He has terrible relationships with the union. He has particularly been, I think, not great handling this coronavirus pandemic with the workforce.”
Sund, however, defended his record, stating that he was endorsed by the United States Capitol Police Labor Committee and that police departments from around the country have used USCP’s pandemic plans as a model. He also expressed his frustration with the bureaucratic structure that left Capitol Police protection open to partisan politics, stating, “People need to realize that I was the only chief of police in the U.S. who was restricted by law (2 U.S. Code 1970) from bringing in resources for my men and women without the approval of the Capitol Police Board and congressional leadership.”

The footage also highlights Pelosi's focus on blaming Trump for the events of January 6, referring to it as “an armed insurrection against America.” She is seen instructing her staff to prioritize this narrative over any announcements of staff resignations.
