House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he intends to fully release to the public the tens of thousands of hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from January 6, 2021.
“Yeah,” McCarthy said when asked if the tapes will be fully released to the public….
“We just want to make sure we go through them all, and it takes time….”
But McCarthy told Breitbart News that Carlson just got the first bite at the apple and that these videos will be released more broadly in the coming weeks….
“Well this is all about transparency,” McCarthy said when asked why he released the tapes. “It won’t just be to Tucker. Like any news organization, different people get exclusives. We watched during the January 6, CNN would have exclusives all the time and nobody complained…. I think it’s better for transparency that anyone can make their own decision up, and as we walk through these, these are many more hours of tapes than the January 6 committee told us. It’s not 14,000. It’s 42,000 hours. We want to make sure for security purposes our certain exits aren’t shown and others….
McCarthy said ultimately though he hopes the public reviews the tapes and comes to their own conclusions….
“I wish Chuck Schumer would read the Constitution,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “The Democrats always go to censorship. You watched what they did with the laptop. You watched what they did with Twitter. They want to use government as much as they can to censor what people can see and what people can know. This is the difference between us. I believe in the Constitution. I trust the American people, and you should just have the ability to have all the information and let people make their own judgement.”

On March 12, 2023, on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures, McCarthy stated "My goal here is transparency, and we will slowly roll out to every individual, uh, news agency. They can come see the tapes." (Now it is 41,000 hours of tapes.) This backtracks from public release and reaffirms the previous requirement for video to be viewed behind closed doors at the Capitol, where people like us can be arrested just because.

From a February 28 FR post: "We’re now learning that Tucker Carlson’s staff will NOT be allowed to freely record footage from January 6, but may request particular clips and that his staffers are not allowed to record or remove any videos from a specific screening area.... Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s staff was permitted to view but not record portions of some 41,000 hours of police videos documenting the events of Jan. 6, 2021, with the opportunity to request copies of some of the clips under an agreement reached with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s office, according to the high-ranking Republican member of the committee that oversees the U.S. Capitol Police."
References to the footage volume keep changing. It is never an exact number. It is described roundly as 44,000 hours, then later as 40,000 hours, 41,000 hours, and 42,000 hours, possibly adjusting for 1000s of hours of censored video. These numbers refer only to Capitol surveillance video and not video from other sources, such as cell phone video confiscated by the FBI and Capitol police. They want us to forget about other sources. Remember that before January 6, with rumors of false-flag action, Trump called for people to take lots of cell phone video.
There is obviously a coverup with a media blackout. By now, the videos should all be timestamped as evidence (without obscuring the video) and published on a read-only public website for public scrutiny. Tucker was silenced, and the billionaire class behind the Epstein suicide is working on national suicide.
I’m actually very impressed with Kevin McCarthy so far.
Just release them. No one in Congress “needs to go through” them….unless they are hiding the aliens? McCarthy is just another one who needs to go.
“I wish Chuck Schumer would read the Constitution,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “The Democrats always go to censorship. You watched what they did with the laptop. You watched what they did with Twitter. They want to use government as much as they can to censor what people can see and what people can know. This is the difference between us. I believe in the Constitution. I trust the American people, and you should just have the ability to have all the information and let people make their own judgement.”
Take that FAUX news directors, especially the despicable Paul Ryan. CNN will get the scoop on you pansy transvestites.
So many federal assets involved as fake MAGA supporters that not much can be made public so as to keep those assets from being identified.
The longer he waits, the less likely the tapes will be released to the public. They need to be released now.
W.H.E.N.????

Dear FRiends, our 1st qtr FReepathon is running behind. It looks like we’re not going to hit our target, but with your help, maybe we can at least get it over 90%. 3/25/2023, 11:36:11 AM · by Jim Robinson
Exactly!
WHEN, Kev?
I don’t think Fox cares if CNN airs it, because they know CNN won’t air it, or even look at it. Which is why Fox can also decide to not show it.
