What did Trump say in his speech that actually incited the violence at Capitol Hill?

I didn’t vote for Trump and am not defending everything that he did, but I watched the speech and couldn’t see anything that he said to incite violence. He actually called for a peaceful demonstration and most at the rally did just that. It was only a small subset who stormed the Hill.

Update:

I still don’t see where he actually said to take over by violence. Again, I didn’t vote for him, so am not biased here.

    Nothing. The democrats just want revenge. Anyone who thinks his speech incited violence has to also hold their own party to the same standard, in which every democrat official including Biden and Harris would be leaders for inciting violence with their rhetoric. Let’s not pretend that democrats weren’t extremely violent for all of 2020, caused billions in damage, vandalized/destroyed 150+ federal buildings, assaulted thousands, and murdered more than 25 people. Not people that died of medical emergencies or caught in the crossfire. But murdered. It’s public record.  So before anyone is going to say Trump incited violence, make sure you check your facts on democrats that actually incited violence for 4 years. It’s not even about being corrupt liars like the democrats we know. This is different. They were willing to throw their country under the bus and 75 million people over someone they hated. Someone who never did anything wrong. He wanted to help the country. Democrats want to destroy it.  It’s sad when half the country has been brainwashed by CNN and because of democrats, the country is filled with people who have no standards and no morals.  The media has no integrity. You can literally report anything and half the country believes what you say without needing any facts.  The media has told so many lies about Trump and they are all easily debunked, but no one wants to do that. People just want to hold their hate and use will the trigger words like racist and white supremacist and homophobic blah blah. Because people are stupid now.  And the younger generation will continue to be indoctrinated. Our country and our history as we know it is vanishing fast.

    Weeks of calling for demonstrations.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The chaos in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday unfolded after President Donald Trump spent weeks whipping up his supporters with false allegations of fraud in the Nov. 3 election, culminating in a call to march to the building that represents U.S. democracy.

    They turned out in the thousands and heard the president urge them to march on the Capitol building to express their anger at the voting process and to pressure their elected officials to reject the results.

    Appearing at what could be his last rally as the sitting president, Trump exhorted his supporters “to fight.”

    “We will never give up, we will never concede,” Trump said, delighting the crowd by calling Democratic victories the product of what he called “explosions of bullshit.”

    “Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!” people chanted in reply.

    Trump has sought for weeks to thwart a peaceful transfer of power, aided by groups such as "Stop the Steal," which promoted stopthesteal.us the day's protest and peddled false claims about voter fraud on Facebook and other social media.

    Nothing. For 4 years the leftstream media has done nothing but paint Trump as racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist etc... They’re not going to stop, it’s best to turn to Newsmax and OANN.

    You must not have actually listened to that speech. You can't clean this up.

    I actually listened to the speech as Trump was giving it. Fox News carried it live. It was outrageous and decidedly inflammatory. 

    Before Trump spoke, Giuliani addressed the crowd and called for “trial by combat.”

    Trump told the crowd, “You will never take back the country with weakness."

    In a long, rambling speech Trump whipped up the crowd, constantly referring to a "rigged" "stolen" election, "fake news" and "corruption."  

    He ranted about how Biden couldn't possibly have won.  

    He referred to "pure cheating" and "the corrupt media." 

    Trump said, "We will not be intimidated into accepting the hoaxes and the lies..."

    Trump lied and lied and then lied some more. 

    Trump said, "States want to revote. The States got defrauded. They were given false information." He repeated every debunked lie about the election. 

    Trump led the crowd to believe that he could become president as a result of the proceedings that were going on in the Congress that day, if Mike Pence did "the right thing" or else "we won't have a country."  

    Trump said the Democrats had been defrauding the people for years and the Republicans were weak. 

    He said things such as:"You have to show strength, and you have to be strong."

    "We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing..." 

    "This is a criminal enterprise."

    "This is the most corrupt election in the history, maybe of the world." 

    "We must stop the steal." 

    He said that we can't let these people "illegally take over our country" and "Can’t let it happen," and a host of other lying, inflammatory things. 

    Trump said, "So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."

    Trump's deluded followers went to the Capitol and we saw what ensued. Trump apparently went back to his office to watch the debacle on television. 

    Edit:  If you actually believed the lies that Trump was spewing, you would have gone to the Capitol building while Congress was in session to "take back our country."  The Trump imbeciles believed what he said.
