Hi everyone, it's Borkhark in New York. It's all mixed up in backwards today, but what do

0:12.3

you expect when the foxes are now guarding the henhouse? With every twist and turn, the

0:16.9

saga of the unreleased January 6 security footage gets more ridiculous, more outrageous,

0:22.7

more alarming. That is true as ever this afternoon as we come on the air. As you already

0:27.5

know, how Speaker Kevin McCarthy is the newly appointed proprietor of that material by virtue

0:33.6

of his new title as Speaker of the House. That's despite the fact that he pointedly refused

Oversight Panel. If you're asking yourself, where have I heard that name before? Ha, that's

1:53.0

good reason. It's because Ladermelk was part of the one-six select committee's exhibit. He was

1:59.1

the guy caught on camera, on camera, the day before the insurrection, leading a capital complex
