41,000 Hours

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Fox News' Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 riot, McCarthy sources tell me.
Carlson TV producers were on Capitol Hill last week to begin digging through the trove, which includes multiple camera angles from all over Capitol grounds. Excerpts will begin airing in the coming weeks. Why it matters: Carlson has repeatedly questioned official accounts of 1/6, downplaying the insurrection as "vandalism."
Now his shows — "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Fox News, and "Tucker Carlson Today" and "Tucker Carlson Originals" on the streaming service Fox Nation — have a massive trove of raw material. Carlson told me: "[T]here was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret."
"If there was ever a question that's in the public's interest to know, it's what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It's impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that." Reality check: The Jan. 6 committee played numerous excerpts of the footage at last year's captivating hearings. (See the committee's archive.)
Between the lines: The process with Carlson started in early February, according to a communication between the show and a McCarthy representative that I was shown.

Why not grant access to everyone?
41,000 hours?
Why aren’t they released to everyone?
Just put them on a server and list out the links.
They should do the same with hunter’s laptop.
This COULD be good. Not that anyone that watches Tucker doesn’t already know what happened, and likely none of it will be deemed admissible in court for any of the current political prisoners, but it IS good that it could be released.
Yep... that’s over three times the 14,000 hours that was talked about.
oops.. almost three times...
Well yeah, the super secret underground lair HQ of the DOH-j has had two + years to edit a lot of it. But surely that didn’t happen right? 🤡🤔🐂💩
Not too often you see a Congress critter own a leak.
Well, not quite. 14,000 * 3 = 42,000, but close enough.
42,000 hrs is an incredible length... would probably take years to go through... let alone post.
41,000 hours?
~~~
Multiple cameras. Probably a lot of them.
Which is good.
I take it to mean there are 40k+ hours total footage.
That’s a lot to go through.
Hunter’s laptop is loaded with kiddy porn. Releasing it would be a crime. Just like having it and making it like Hunter did is a crime.
Yeah.. I did the math also... see above.
Oops. I should have refreshed the page before posting!
Because everyone is not trustworthy.
I love how the left calls this armed insurrection... and yet none of the supposed armed insurrectionists every once pulled out their weapon, much less fired it!
The truth is, this was a demonstration that got out of hand and resulted in trespassing and vandalism.
If the video doesn’t match what committee says happened, they should all be sued by the Babbit family for slander.
Carlson? The one who thinks Trump is demonic?
Carlson has been heavily suggesting that J6 was a setup since almost the beginning... not so Trump.
