9. He did, at one point

As the Jan 6th report put it:

"“[A]fter this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you,
we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down,” he said to the crowd.
“[W]e’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on
our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not
going to be cheering so much for some of them.” 63

President Trump used the phrase scripted for him by his White House
speechwriters, “peacefully and patriotically” once, about 20 minutes into
his speech.64 Then he spent the next 50-or-so minutes amping up his
crowd with lies about the election, attacking his own Vice President and
Republican Members of Congress, and exhorting the crowd to fight. “And
we fight. We fight like hell” the President said to a crowd that had already
spent the day chanting, “Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump!,” and that
would keep up the chorus when storming the Capitol.65

Finally, he told the crowd where to go to “take back our country”: “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 . . . 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. So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.” 6"

The context was:

Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.

I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

After that, it's a tedious retelling of all the claims that had already been rejected by the courts. He suggests forgetting the Constitution and "the rules":

The Constitution doesn't allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can't vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn't it? When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.

So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do.
