Here is one example but this is not exactly what you were asking for. However this was just the first example that I knew where to find it in the video.

At 33:15 you can here him say he has a knife. He says this a few time throughout the video. At about 34:30 he starts yelling "go, go! Let's go! Get this sh*t!"
Just before that he convinced the police officers to leave by pretty much scaring them by telling them that he has watched so many other people out there get hurt.
About 40 seconds after he convinced the police officers to walk away which leaves the doors and windows unmanned, the woman is shot.
Over the next few minutes he works the crowd up by repeating many times things like "she's dead", "I saw the light go out in her eyes", "You all about to shoot everybody? You all going to shoot everybody?"
There is quite a bit throughout the video that is more than just trying to blend in. He even recorded himself breaking a window that he edits out in all but the first video. It is easy to miss that he broke the window but he actually did. Start at 13:30 and watch the lower left window as he walks up. Pay attention to the audio and watch the window carefully at 14:10 to 14:16. A few seconds later he admits hitting the window which you can hear him doing 5 times until the window breaks.

He worked the crowd/mob the whole time in an effort to incite actual violence and destruction. President Trump did not tell people to break into the Capitol building nor to be violent. His speech was quite calm especially if compared to what we heard over the summer from public figures, media outlets, and people that hold government positions.
Why is it okay to attack private citizens and businesses while destroying everything in their path for months but a few hours in a single afternoon gets more coverage than we saw all summer from the protest, excuse me, riots?
I think what happened at the Capitol building was horrible but I also understand that the number of people that committed these crimes were an extremely small percentage of the protesters that went there to show they care and do so peacefully which the majority did. We keep seeing the same few pieces of zoomed in footage but little to none of the larger picture.
The people that entered the building forcefully and/or destroyed properly and/or committed violent acts should be prosecuted. If Trump is responsible then the public figures, media outlets, and people that hold government positions that praised rioters over the summer should also be held responsible for the Capitol building attacks since they were the ones that made people think it was okay and what should be done if wanting to fight for a good cause.
I don't really think the public figures, media outlets, and people that hold government positions who praised the protestors and rioters over the summer are responsible for the attack on the Capitol building but I also do not think Trump is responsible for the actions of the relatively small number of people that participated in the non-peaceful acts.
