Summary

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released, in an exclusive to FoxNews pundit Tucker Carlson, thousands of hours of security camera footage from in and around the Capitol on January 6, 2021. It shows a much calmer scene than previously released clips, with protestors appearing to walk about taking pictures like tourists, undisturbed by police. The so-called QAnon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, appears to be escorted around the building and assisted into the Senate Chamber by officers, where he prayed, thanking God for their assistance. The Capitol Police chief has since said that Carlson's selective editing and claims about the video are "outrageous and false", and that outnumbered officers were attempting deescalation techniques to get protestors, including Chansley, to peacefully leave the building. Chansely, in a signed confession, has said police repeatedly asked him to leave. Do we now know what really happened during the "insurrection"? Will we ever? How can conservatives reasonably evaluate competing claims about the events, and the video, of January 6? Right Angle is a production of the Members at https://BillWhittle.com . Thanks to Zo Rachel for sitting in for Bill again this week.

0:00.0	The January 6th security footage has been released.
0:03.5	Do we really know what happened now?
0:06.1	I'm Scott Ott with Stephen Green.
0:08.4	And sitting in for Bill Whittle, we have Zoe Rachel with us again this week.
0:12.1	Gentlemen, Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, has released some 40,000 hours of video footage from various security cameras to Tucker Carlson at Fox News,
0:25.1	giving him an exclusive at first, and McCarthy says he's later going to release this to
0:28.8	other members of the media.
0:31.1	And McCarthy, I'm sorry, Carlson has started to play some of this video on his show,
0:35.8	lathering up Senator Chuck Schumer, who's the
0:38.7	Senate Majority Leader, who believes that this is some sort of breach of security for the Capitol,
0:45.0	because I think he's suggesting that some of the video may reveal to our enemies back
0:50.9	ways to get in and out of the Capitol or something like that. But in any case,
0:55.6	it is, it's interesting that it, first of all, that it took this long for somebody to do it.
1:00.8	The suggestion was that McCarthy had promised some people that in exchange for their support,
1:05.7	as in his House Speaker bid, that he would release this video. And he has been good to his word,
1:10.0	if, in fact,
1:11.0	that's what he did.
1:13.3	So, Rachel, I'm not sure, I don't know how I feel about giving one commentator an exclusive
1:21.0	on the footage at first.
1:23.8	I think I probably would have felt more comfortable, even if it were a nominally conservative
1:28.7	journalist rather than just an opinion talking head like guy like us, if he had released that.
1:37.6	But what do you think of the idea of just putting all this footage out there that shows all kinds of different angles
