Last night we aired a video from surveillance cameras on Capitol Hill. That video was reported 26 months to the day before January 6, 2021. And for 26 months that footage was held from the American public. The January 6 committee made certain. ...[T]he Justice Department also kept a lid on that video footage and, in fact, in some cases the DOJ did not share it with criminal defendants who have been charged on January 6 in violation of their constitutional rights.
So we felt it was a public service to bring what we could to you. There was no justification for keeping this secret any longer, and a powerful argument to be made, that sunlight is always, in everywhere, the best disinfectant. And in fact because it was video evidence, it is to some extent self explanatory. Anyone can look at the tape and decide what he or she thinks of it. So the tape we showed last night indicated very clearly the Capitol Hill police, in some cases, escorted protesters through the capitol as if they were giving a tour.
...
But it's really beyond debate that it is good for this country for Americans to be able to see it. The media and politicians and people in charge have talked about January 6 every day since it happened for 26 months. And so at some point, the evidence should be presented to the public.
In free countries, governments do not lie about protests as a pretext to gain more power for themselves. They don't selectively edit video for propaganda services, and then lie about them and fake hearings and show trials. But that's exactly what happened. And every member of Congress should ask why that happened.
But Democrats in the Senate, the Democratic Leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, is not asking why. Instead Chuck Schumer went on the Senate floor today to explode, and to say that showing that video evidence of wrongdoing by the federal government including, the security force—the police department that Nancy Pelosi personally controlled—letting the public see any of that is a threat to democracy
...
We should also tell you that Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, was joined in this outrage by the Senate Minority Leader. That would be a Republican, Mitch McConnell, and they were joined by a cascade of other Republicans. Tom Tillis from North Carolina, Mitt Romney from Utah, all sharing the same outrage. And from this, we learned two things.
One, we're getting close to what they really care about. And you have to ask yourself why?
Why is it so important that they would degrade themselves by telling such obvious lies and calling for censorship? Why?
What are they trying to protect? —that might be worth exploring. And we plan to.
And the second thing that we learned from this is that they're on the same side, the Senate Majority Leader joins the Senate Minority Leader; Tom Tillis, Mitt Romney. They're all on the same side. So it's actually not about left and right. It's not about Republican and Democrat. Here you have people with shared interests, the open borders people, the people the people like Mitch McConnell, who're living in splendor on Chinese money. The people who underneath it all have everything in common are all aligned against everyone else. And that would include almost all news organizations in this country as well. And so if you're watching this...it might be kind of interesting to keep a list, because one thing we learned today is that they're all in agreement with each other. They kind of outed themselves. They sort of showed their membership cards and whatever club this is to the public, so keep a list. If you want to know who's actually on it, despite the illusion of partisanship, we found out today.
