The long awaited never before seen January 6th Tapes are finally beginning to be released. Tucker Carlson debuted his first report on Monday covering several key moments and players on that day. Tucker’s reporting dominated the headlines and discussion this week, leading to a wide range of reactions, including a call for the censorship of Tucker Carlson’s show by Senate Majority Chuck Schumer and a call for the release of Jacob Chansley by Elon Musk.

After Tucker Carlson’s segments on this never before seen footage, he had Congressman Thomas Massie on to discuss. Congressman Massie, who is serving on the newly established Weaponization Committee, praised Tucker for his reporting, called on his colleagues to release all of the January 6th Tapes to the public, and demanded a complete catalogue of all the Feds present at the Capitol that day.

On the question of the full release of the January 6th tapes to the public, Speaker McCarthy announced later this week that he intends to do this. That is excellent news, but we will all have to hold him to it.
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.

The next day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer went down to the Senate Floor to condemn Tucker Carlson and Speaker McCarthy, call for Fox News to censor Tucker, and repeated the Mainstream Media’s lies about the death of Officer Brian Sicknick. Chuck then spent the whole day whining about Tucker and refused an offer from Tucker to debate him on his show.

As we highlighted above, the case that was the most discussed this week was the case of Jacob Chansley (The QAnon Shaman). The footage that Tucker Carlson released of him on January 6th was perhaps the most explosive as the media had made him the face of the “insurrection.” The footage of Chansley wandering around the Capitol, led by police and committing no violence, smashed the media’s already collapsing narrative that this man was leading any kind of “assault on the Capitol.”

We’re not going to speculate on any of this as we don’t know the full details of the counsel Chansley received or is receiving, but we hope this man is now getting the representation he deserves.
