PAUL HUEPER: Sure enough, you could see kind of a line snaking up. There were no police stopping anybody at all. It was like an open invitation just to walk right into the Capitol didn't feel right. We chose not to. 

MARILYN HUEPER: It felt totally like some kind of set up was being made.

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Their instincts were right, it was a set up.
