The Biden White House goes after Tucker Carlson by name as other media members unleashed their rage.

Jill Biden celebrates International Women's Day by giving a medal to a dude, and the Justice

Department cracks down on the Louisville Police Department.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Well, Tucker Carlson has ticked off all of the right people, apparently. So Tucker was given

access to 41,000 hours of footage of the January 6th riots and what was going on inside the

Capitol building by Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the House. And this was considered very,

very controversial. It was considered controversial because how dare he give access to

just Tucker Carlson? Well, as it turns out, the January 6th committee is now admitting that even

they did not bother watching the videos. They had some of their staffers watched the videos

that they themselves did not attempt to gain access to the videos. Elena Trin, is a political

reporter at CNN, reported this morning that Kevin McCarthy is now granted lawmakers the option to view the Capitol footage from January 6th if they request to see it. Marjorie Taylor Green told CNN, quote, any one of us can go. You just have to schedule the time of the Speaker's Office. I'm scheduled to go. I can take my staff with me. Green said she doesn't know who's all in the room or if the U.S. Capitol Police will be there, but to their instructions her team has been given, including how to view the videos because there are so many hours.

Benny Thompson. Here's the room or if the U.S. Capitol Police will be there, but to their instructions her team has been given, including how to view the videos because there are so many hours. Benny Thompson, here's the key part. Benny Thompson, who is the former chair of the January 6th committee, said lawmakers were never given that type of access to the footage last Congress. So even the January 6th committee is admitting that other members of Congress were not given access to the footage that Tucker showed the other night, which is kind of mind-boggling.

Again, Congress is Congress. It's not supposed to be secret committees inside Congress.

When we are talking about an incident that affected all of America and that was put on all of our TVs on January 6th, Thompson quoted strictly a new policy that the new speaker has put in place. Thompson said he doesn't think any of the January 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage. They only let staff view it. So apparently, even the Capitol Police only allowed the staff of these committee members to view it, but the members of the staff themselves did not view it. He said, I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.

So, in other words, you were just kind of talking heads on behalf of ABC producers you guys gave

access to. And somehow, that is significantly better than Speaker McCarthy giving access to

all of the Congress people and also Tucker Carlson.

That's how significantly better you don't get to play a stupid game in which you do a thing to one side. Then the other side does the same thing and it's bad when the other side does it. That's not how any of this works. Well, the White House has now gotten particularly upset with Tucker Carlson and they have called him out by name. Now, this is not the first time that we've had a White House call out members of the right by name.

Barack Obama used to do this on the regular with Rush Limbaugh. He would just cite Rush Limbaugh as kind of the fond head of all evil. Well, Tucker has become the new fond head of all evil for this White House. They're particularly upset that Tucker showed footage of Q&on shaman walking around the Capitol building. He was one of the first 30 people to break in, but then he's walking around and the police officers are guiding him. They say this is a de-escalation tactic. Okay, fine. Also, it kind of is weird. And not only is it kind of weird, there's tons of footage of people like large crowds kind of walking through the Capitol building. In other words, the footage from outside, which appears to be extremely violent and extremely chaotic, is not mirrored altogether by a lot of

the footage inside thereafter in which people are kind of walking the halls and many of them are not

defacing things. Again, it's not as though the riots didn't happen. The rise definitely happened.
