I think the video you are looking for is this one from NBC news:

https://www.nbcnews.com/video/capitol-shooting-that-led-to-ashli-babbitt-s-death-captured-on-video-99180613572

To answer your questions just using the video:

“That Senators/Congress people were in the room and they had to be protected.”

In the area inside the doors was armed security and one man shown walking around and the doors were barracaded with what appears to be wooden furniture. As there is no appearance of being the area concerning the politicians, this can’t be answered for or against either side.

“That the Shooter (Michael Byrd) was alone (not with other security near the door) and he warned people not to come through.”

No sound. Warning? Just the gun pointing at the doors from what we have. As for the other police, he was the only person we could see inside the doors. However the police were there as they were the ones who took charge of the injured civilian outside the door within seconds of the shooting and used their weapons to gain control.

“Actual videos of the glass and doors being broken before Ashli Babbitt tried to enter.”

On the video.

I have another question, though. The left has been saying this was a concerted and planned effort. If that’s the case, then why didn’t they have something to break the door down other than a flag and pole? Certainly someone would have had an ax or a crow bar. You can get them at Walmart...cheap.

That is one video I have been able to see.
I saw images/video of the Shooter inside the chambers who pulls out gun and approaches his position, later identified as Michael Byrd. There were other officers there, I saw no ‘politicians’ in the chamber. Can’t find that video.
