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.

“42,000 hrs is an incredible length”
No worries! Many diligent eyes using digital viewing equipment would allow that to be combed within a week. Breaches, weapons distribution, assaults, waving people in to restricted areas, all would be apparent even at 4-10X speed.
Tucker has more than one person...
Wow. Do you have a link to that?
It’s very interesting...although you’re right, it’s not something you can sit down and watch end to end.
However, a little bit that was released yesterday actually answered a question I have had since the beginning.
Right after the event, a lot of videos popped up here and there, and one of them...in fact, it may even have been on television...showed a group of people, including three wearing what I would consider SWAT gear, creeping up the staircase behind Ashli Babbit and communicating via hand signals and voice communications.
And then she was shot, although it didn’t look to me so much as if she was trying to get through the already broken window as to take a cell phone photo when she was shot. Then the cops behind her immediately came and tried to assist her, but it was weird that this group was right behind her on the stairs.
Then I heard the video clip (w audio) and apparently the civilian dressed people - who turned out to be plainclothes police - were joking about whether or not they should go up there to the landing with the window, one said he didn’t want to go because somebody would get shot, and the others joked about it and finally went up the stairs.
Before that, they had been down with the crowd, urging them to enter the building and urging them to go up the stairs.
That alone is enough to overthrow the whole DOJ narrative, and that was just from a brief peek into the collection at a particular crucial time.
I think stuff will come out because Tucker Carlson probably has a whole staff that will sit there and go through these things in a way most of us don’t have time for.
It’s like building an index...I’m sure at some point they will be generally released, but now you’ll at least have some idea of where to start.
Indeed we can’t trust those with access to give us a fair summary. Sane people will not trust the former j6 committee. Others will not trust Carlson.
Thousands of cameras
Assuming single cameras recording for the 24 hours of that date, there’d be over 1,700 cameras.
Motion to vacate the chair should be in order!!!!
McCarthy is finally doing something constructive.
Private iPhone videos, News and Public CCTV cameras?
41,000hrs is a LOT of watching.
Private and public; all sources combined.
I suspect the author is dyslexic and it should be 14K hours. Even at 14K that is lot of hours. Let’s say the event happened for 10 hours. That is 1400 cameras. That is lot of cameras for one building. I would think the camera count would include congressional office buildings and DC city cameras.
“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.”
Advertise it for a week! Call the hour, What the Democrats don’t want you to know about 1/6.” Every day push questions like, “how come there wasn’t video footage?”
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."
How does Kevin Faboo get to decide that only Chatsworth Osbourne Jr. gets access to these tapes? Not just no, BUT HELL NO.
If Speaker Faboo doesn't want to be the office to release them, then release them through the Chairman of the Judiciary (Jordan) or Intelligence (Turner).
The reason they won't let US have it, is because AI could pick out the 30+ USCP who were under indictments from J6, AI could pick out the ANTIFA potted plants, AI could pick out the alphabet glowies. If you had that info, you could offer all of them Congressional immunity and put Pelosi on trial.
When will the prisoners in the DC gulag be afforded the rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights, the 6th and 8th amendments against cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail and punishment?
I can’t say for sure this is a rigged deal.
But if were a rigged deal, it would look just like this.
Tucker has been positioning himself as the most prominent media critic of the “insurrection” narrative.
That may have been calculated to give him credibility with MAGA.
So that he would be trusted by MAGA to be the gatekeeper of the tapes.
But it’s only a possibility.
He sees good money in it.
Carlson needs to take Revolver News with him for the viewing. They are the lead group on unraveling the Jan 6 BS.
Pelosi is practically a cadaver, the end of her natural lifespan approaches... it would be better not to offer immunity to those who are going to be plaguing the country for years to come, just for the momentary justice of having a judge nail her mangy old hide to the barn, or more likely confine her to a luxury nursing home.
