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.”

It’s over 42,000 hours of surveillance video. Plus there are 1000s of hours of other video confiscated from cell phones.
Don't let McCarthy and Pelosi get away with it!
Next to Tucker’s corvette in a cardboard box?
All Hat and no Cattle.
Bait and switch? Have we been duped? Will Patriots become the enemies of the State? Stay tuned…
If Carlson’s employer ends up looking bad after the full release, the current house speaker will need to accept being the object of ire and resentment on the part of a certain former house speaker.
Would be pleased to see this transpire fully, but it seems unlikely.
Looks like they already got away with it. What does anyone expect from the uniparty?
Watch - for the next years, McCarthy will talk abkut all kinds of things, and deliver nothing that will harm a hair on any swamp creature
McCarthy is a self-serving swamp thing.
As Tonto famously said:
“Him speak with forked tongue...”
! Where are the tapes!
/\
They are on a chip
inside the handle
of the knife in our back
that we can’t quite reach.

All Hat and no Cattle

Exactly
So when is the no confidence vote to kick him to the curb ?
What good is it if we don’t use it ?
Tomorrow is another story.
It’s getting about time to have a motion to vacate on McCarthy’s non leadership.
Nu?
Just like the Justice Department was supposed to indict Hillary back in 2017.
Yeah he is starting to run out of excuses.
Just the video is worthless. People in the video need to be identified and questioned under oath.
expecting DC to investigate and indict itself....is magical thinking
Every minute needs to be released!
Sounds like McCarthy ripped us off. Typical RINO. Hope he’ll at least be a little better than Ryan.
What say McCarthy?
