Clips aired during Tucker Carlson’s show on Monday night demonstrate how the January 6 select committee doctored surveillance video.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired the first set of previously-unseen surveillance video captured by Capitol police security cameras on January 6, 2021 that undermines several aspects of the reigning narrative about what happened that day.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last month gave Carlson’s team “unfettered” access to 41,000 hours of footage the government kept hidden from the American public and individuals charged in the Justice Department’s unprecedented and ongoing investigation into the events of January 6. Capitol Police and the Justice Department designated the recordings as “highly sensitive” material in March 2021; the trove remains under tight protective orders and defendants must agree to strict rules before gaining access to clips entered as evidence against them.
Capitol Police turned over to the FBI roughly 14,000 hours of video covering the hours of noon and 8:00 p.m. on January 6 but the full 24-hour reel has been in the hands of House Democrats for two years—reportedly the footage that Carlson’s team was authorized to view.
Carlson exposed falsehoods that bolster key animating aspects of January 6 including the movements of Jacob Chansley; the activity of still-uncharged agitator Ray Epps; the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick; alleged “reconnaissance tours” conducted by House Republicans the day before; the “escape” of Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.); and the overall deceptiveness of the January 6 Select Committee. “Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an insurrection,” Carlson explained. “In fact, it demolishes that claim. And that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it.”
At least nine police officers escorted Jacob Chansley, the so-called “QAnon shaman” throughout the building that afternoon. Some even opened doors so Chansley could access rooms inside the Capitol. Chansley was recorded inside the Senate chambers where he led a prayer and thanked law enforcement.
American Greatness first reported Chansley’s peaceful interaction with Capitol Police officers in May 2021. Chansely spent more than 300 days in solitary confinement conditions under court-ordered pretrial detention before finally accepting an offer to plead guilty to the nonviolent offense of obstruction of an official proceeding. In announcing his sentence in November 2021, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth described Chansley, a Navy veteran with no criminal record and a history of mental disorders, as the “epitome” of January 6 and insisted his conduct was “horrific.” (Chansley was not charged with a violent crime.) He is currently serving a 41 month prison term.
American Greatness has also covered the lies about what happened to Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, first raising doubts about the account of his death as early as February 2021. The media, Justice Department, leading Democrats, and the January 6 select committee claim Sicknick died as a result of scuffles with protesters that afternoon. But Carslon played a never-before-seen video of Sicknick walking around the inside of the building after the alleged attack where he appears to be healthy. A man from New Jersey, Julian Khater, pleaded guilty to spraying Sicknick with pepper spray after spending 18 months in the D.C. Gulag. He was sentenced to six years in prison.
Infamous provocateur Ray Epps, contrary to his sworn testimony, remained on restricted grounds for at least 30 minutes past the time he told the committee that he had left the scene. “We do know he lied to investigators,” Carlson said. Epps accompanied the group of protestors who first breached the exterior boundary of the Capitol on the west side before 1:00 p.m. on January 6; the new surveillance video proves he stayed on what is considered a restricted area for nearly two hours.
During one televised hearing, the January 6 Select committee aired a very brief clip of Hawley leaving the Senate chambers, video designed to show Hawley was fearful of the alleged “insurrectionists” after raising his fist in support of the crowd prior to the start of the joint session. Journalists and those in attendance at the July 2022 hearing laughed in response. “That famous clip is a sham, edited deceptively by the January 6 committee,” Carlson said. “The clip was propaganda, not evidence.” Carlson explained the full recording shows numerous lawmakers being “ushered out” of the building by Capitol Police.
And as American Greatness reported in May 2022, accusations about “reconnaissance tours” by House Republicans on January 5, 2021 are also false. “The surveillance video we reviewed showed this story is a lie.”
Additional video also showed protesters walking throughout the building and even picking up items on the floor. While acknowledging a “small percentage were hooligans,” Carlson aired unseen video of individuals respecting police and rope lines. “But the overall majority weren’t. They were peaceful and orderly and meek. They were not insurrectionists, they were sight-seers.”
Carlson will present more footage on his show Tuesday night including an interview with a U.S. Capitol police officer, the agency in charge of security on January 6.

Over half of the registered voters in this country are too politically illiterate to understand this story.
I want to see outside the building and the traitor Ray Epps,instigator and participant in the violence after the conspirators threw flash bang grenades into a peaceful crowd causing the riot,we need The traitors like Pelosi in to testify why she refused national guard when they knew trouble makers were coming,the FBI,Capitol police were all traitors in this setup
Bump.
Video Jan. 6 footage shows Capitol cops escorting QAnon Shaman to Senate floor
Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct.
This is the same thing as “RUSSIA!gate”. Only there, it was one campaign projecting its own crimes onto the opposing campaign..
This is our GOVERNMENT projecting their own crimes upon it’s citizens.
And there’s NO ONE who will do anything about it; they give it to a tv personality to run for a week or so … and then it’ll be forgotten.
Din't forget the "media" who went along with it. They're accessories to the crime.
And while its good that this is getting out, if nothing will be done to exact justice, then it is nothing more than rubbing people's noses it it, compounding the outrage.
What a surprise. A Psyop. Who knew?
Just like Ukraine and the sick jingo posters here on FR.
The plot is huge.
It was important for the government to hide those hours of video so that we can be safe. Now that Carlson has exposed some of it we are no longer safe, and neither is our democracy.
.....in the hands of House Democrats for 2 years. Evil bitches.
The left put their agents in the crowd to provoke violence. The democrats created a totally-fabricated story about Jan 6. Innocent people are in solitary. The public still has its collective head up its collective anal exit passageway.
What elaborate scheme will they concoct to destroy Trump and/or DeSantis? Another virus? A “terror” attack? They’re creative. Assume the worst.
It sure dismantles the narrative, but the people who constructed the narrative will not admit to it. The official narrative in the media will not change, the news channels will double down on the narrative, and not one leftist will recant. So in the end, it will just cause consternation on our side for losing the public opinion battle on one more cause.
I’d like to know who gave the order to start firing teargas canisters, flashbangs, and rubber bullets into a large, but peaceful crowd gathered for a rally for which they had a permit. It was only after being attacked that the crowd became unruly. I would also like to see the beating of Rosanne Boyland who later died. The new house should call that policeman to explain why he was beating her and why he was pushing people down on top of her.
At least the 14,000 hours of video taken during the riot should be opened for public examination, not just snippets by the January 6th committee and even Tucker Carlson. We need to see all of it.
Liz Cheney has no shame.
She also has no seat in Congress, thankfully.
Some said the legacy media would go silent on this after 2 straight years of covering the story. But NO. CBS Mornings came out full force defensive mode attacking Tucker and the tapes and said it was all a lie.....Amazing how defensive the fake news is on this.
The media is defending their lying coverage because this proves they were liars.
A Grand Jury should be convened to put Committee Members under oath and question them for the false statements made.
Follow the Money; How did Liz Cheney join the Congress with a net worth of 7 million dollars and after 6 years have a net worth of 44 million dollars?
