It's hard to tell whether this is purely a political stunt for fundraising purposes or if Carlson will eventually use it to produce the kind of propaganda we're accustomed to seeing from him.

In any case, assuming it's true that Carlson's team has exclusive access to the more than 40,000 hours of security footage surrounding the events of 1/6, it's a bizarre and suspicious act by the Speaker of the House.

Presumably, he's doing this to pander to the January 6th conspiracy theorists who believe the rioting was something other than what it so obviously was. I don't even know what their theories are because it's hard to keep up with so much crazy.

Elections do indeed have consequences.

So you can't wait to hear more of Tucker Carlson's spin and lies and deceit about January 6th? Did you miss the news a few days ago about how Fox News executives and personalities (including, notably, Carlson) were shown without any doubt to have known that the claims being made about Dominion voting machines were outright lies even as they promoted those lies on their broadcasts? Or did you for some reason choose not to believe those facts even when they were presented to you in black and white?

Tucker Carlson is a documented liar established in a court of law. He is a money grubber that promotes lies and conspiracy theories that stimulates hate and anger. It is well known that Tucker Carlson in NOT a journalist. He is a TV shock jock playing for the ratings.

Kevin McCarthy doesn't take his duties as Speaker of the House seriously. To placate the fringe members from the right of his caucus, he willingly cast aside any security concerns of the Capitol Police, putting people in danger. McCarty didn't even have the decency to check with Capitol Police about videos that would reveal classified information.

You have already been given the truth from the sworn testimony under oath by long time conservative Republicans. Many MAGA extremist can't handle the truth that their "hero" is a traitor.

Kind of hard to spew lies from actual live video coverage.
People have become so delusional and believe all the smack the politicians and media spread.
Maybe you should open your eyes and come down from your made up PEDESTAL sir.
Live video does not LIE..

Yeah and The F.B.I., D.O.J. along with other politicians never fabricated evidence. Sworn testimony with the current politicians does not mean shit. Hell they swear to uphold the Constitution and can not even do that..

For the most part "live" video does tell the truth, although context matters. Note, however, that you're already suggesting that whatever video clips are eventually shown by Carlson will tell us something that would support the crazy conspiracy theories of the 1/6 deniers. Yet you haven't seen any video from Carlson.

That kind of preconception of what the video would show might be all that comes of this among the nutters. That's because it's going to be difficult for any further "investigation" to show anything other than what we've already seen. Hundreds of people who were there have been charged and convicted based on video evidence, some of it shot by the rioters themselves.

What's likely to happen is that Carlson's team will comb through the video and find very little that will help them in producing their propaganda. That might be the reason we haven't seen anything pop up yet despite the claim that the "real" truth is buried somewhere in the 40,000 hours of video.

Is this about January 6th? Hell to the NO. Tucker has the video and I trust his opinion more than OUR politicians. Video will have the truth. You trusting our Government worries me..

Kinda think Carlson will be dealing with some other truths for the foreseeable future :)

I still think there are issues with the Dominion equipment period. Now as far as to affect a election that I do not think.
People like to skirt the subject and reflect on other things. On this subject video will prevail.

Let's see how long it will take Tucker Carlson to selectively cherry pick video segments that he can edit to push his narrative.
