Why Tucker Carlson?

My VIP for this week is Tucker Carlson because he has been given the opportunity and the responsibility to go through the massive amount of video evidence taken at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He has been charged with ferreting out the truth and sharing it with the world. The Democrats have used the assault on the U.S. Capitol Building as a club to beat Republicans for more than two years. Yet, they would never release the videos to prove their charges. They just kept the evidence hidden and tried to lock it away for a long time.

In early January 2023, Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit claimed that “Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney and Democrats locked up important videos and documents … for 30 to 50 years after they shut down their sham investigation.” Hoft continued: 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) already named the House Committee on House Administration the custodian of the records. Under current House rules, the committee is obligated to hand over the official records to the House clerk, who transmits them to the National Archives. The rules also prevent the National Archives from releasing committee records for at least 30 years. Sensitive records, such as those from a major investigation, can be held up to 50 years before being made public.


Although the House Committee investigating the insurrection has released a trove of transcripts and underlying information backing up its report, the vast majority of raw information the panel collected is slated to be sent to the National Archives, where it could be locked away for up to 50 years. [Emphasis in original.]


But the proposed rules package the new Congress will vote on Tuesday orders that any record created by the panel must instead be sent to the House Committee on House Administration by Jan. 17 and orders the National Archives to return any material it has already received.

Whether or not Hoft reported the information correctly, current Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-California) recently released “all the official security tapes and other video evidence” to Tucker Carlson. Democrats and many media outlets are livid at McCarthy’s action. Many Democrats are most likely concerned that Tucker will broadcast the truth about the “insurrection” on January 21. However, both conservative and liberal media outlets want their own opportunity to look at the tapes.

Amid the panicked reactions by Democrats, McCarthy’s decision to release the evidence to Carlson has been likened to that of Elon Musk who released the “Twitter Files” to a few credible reporters. Carlson, as well as the reporters chosen by Musk, understand the significance of the tasks given to them. They need to find the truth and present it to the American public in accurate and well-organized reports. 

Americans must know the truth about the attack on the Capitol Building – whatever it is. Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear could understand that getting to the truth was not part of the plan of those investigating the riot.
