According to Axios, Carlson’s producers were on Capitol Hill last week to begin investigating the treasure trove of footage from January 6, 2021.
Carlson has routinely done deep-dive investigations into the day’s events and has called on McCarthy to release the footage to the public so that all Americans can see the full picture of what occurred on that day over two years ago.
“[T]here was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret,” Carlson told Axios.
“If there was ever a question that’s in the public’s interest to know, it’s what actually happened on January 6,” the Fox host explained. “By definition, this video will reveal it. It’s impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that.”
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Speaker McCarthy vowed to release the footage last month telling reporters, “I think the public should see what happened on that day.”
“I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Where for the first time in the history as a Speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee. We watched the politicization of this. I think the American public should actually see what happened instead of a report that’s written on a political basis,” he said, adding, “I want to be very thoughtful about it, but yes, I’m engaged to do that.”
The decision to release the footage was forced by the 20 GOP holdouts who refused to vote for McCarthy’s election to Speaker with the January 6th footage being a key concession.
“Thank you to the 20 patriots who helped EARN this commitment from the Speaker,” tweeted Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in response to McCarthy’s announcement. “Thank you [Speaker McCarthy] for affirming this commitment you made. Keeping promises is how trust is built. I’m growing more optimistic by the day!”
With Carlson now having access to the tens of thousands of hours of footage, Americans will finally have a better, non-biased picture of what happened on January 6, 2021.

Dozens if not hundreds of government operatives infiltrated the protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
This is a list of government operatives we identified working inside the crowd at the US Capitol on January 6 was started in 2021. The Gateway Pundit continues to add to this list as we learn more.
FACT 1: The FBI infiltrated the Proud Boys — and their informant exonerated the Proud Boys of any conspiracy
In July 2022 TGP contributor Cara Castronuova released whistleblower documents, text messages, and audio transcripts of FBI informant James Knowles’s communications with his FBI handlers on January 6. The evidence exonerates Trump supporters and the Proud Boys of any conspiracy or planning to storm the US Capitol, to enter the US Capitol, or to overthrow official proceedings.
The evidence reported by Cara at The Gateway Pundit was explosive.
IT DID NOT HAPPEN as we all know.
Now we have the proof!
The FBI had the evidence that there was “no conspiracy” or plans made by the Proud Boys and others to invade and take control of the US Capitol. The FBI ignored this information from their own operative. They ran with lies about an insurrection instead.
FACT 2: The FBI was recruiting men and women to infiltrate the crowds and work as operatives prior to January 6
On Thursday afternoon, September 30th, at 3:45 PM Eastern the FBI raided Jeremy Brown’s home and arrested Jeremy. The charge is trespassing. The FBI sent 20 vehicles for his arrest. DHS and Pinellas County law enforcement were also present. The FBI was in Jeremy’s home for 5-and-a-half hours looking for evidence.
The FBI searched his house, RV, and trailer. Then they arrested Jeremy and took him away.
Jeremy’s family contacted The Gateway Pundit the next morning.
Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces Master Sergeant.
Jeremy Brown NEVER entered the US Capitol on January 6. His actual crime was refusing to be an FBI informant as we describe below.
Not only did Jeremy refuse to work as an FBI informant on January 6th, he went public with photos and audio of the conversations he had with agents.
As we reported months ago, Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for the dirty FBI — They wanted him to be one of their operatives at the Jan. 6 Trump rallies.
According to an earlier TGP report:
The FBI called Jeremy’s cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house. Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December. He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers.
Jeremy refused to be an FBI informant so they stormed his home and arrested him on bogus misdemeanor charges months after the Jan. 6 protests.
Jeremy Brown still sits in jail today a year later – an innocent man who committed no crimes.
FACT 3: FBI wiretapped friends and family members, including children, to spy on January 6 protesters.
FACT 4: Luke Robinson — the armed J6 protester with earpiece — dropped from FBI most wanted list.
FACT 5: AT LEAST 20 undercover FBI and ATF operatives and 3 undercover police officers were running operations in the crowd on January 6
The FBI finally admitted in September 2021 to The New York Times that they were running informants and operatives inside groups attending the January 6 rallies in Washington DC.
In fact, one of the first “protesters” inside the US Capitol was an FBI informant.
What a surprise!
There is also evidence that the US Capitol Police were also running informants and operatives inside the Trump crowd including members who entered the US Capitol with the protesters.
Now we learn that at least 20 assets from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were embedded in the crowds at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
FACT 7: Disappearing Feds from FBI List
Why has the FBI not followed up on several violent protesters who were caught on video?
FACT 8: DOJ finally admits they were running Confidential Human Sources inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6th
We may never know how many confidential human sources the government was running in the massive crowd on January 6th.
We know there were dozens of operatives in the crowd.
FACT 10: The FBI admitted in November 2022 that they were running at least 8 informants inside the Proud Boys in the months leading to January 6.
Was the FBI leading the insurrection?
So if the #2 in the Proud Boys was working with the FBI, and the lead militia guy in the Whitmer kidnaping plot was working with the FBI (along with numerous agents & informants in the group) one legitimate question is: How much was the FBI driving vs. investigating the plots?

FACT 11: At least 3 FBI operatives or cutouts were speaking on the Oath Keepers “walkie-talkie” app used by the Oath Keepers on January 6th. They were THE ONLY ONES calling for violence!
We now know their names from the app: The government expressed little interest in identifying those behind the screennames on this chat-including 1% Watchdog, General Mark Davis CFA, and iWatchDirectorLaureen.
For some reason they were never questioned and the DOJ did not identify them at trial.
FACT 12: The tactical commander for the US Capitol Police admitted under oath that agitators who were highly trained ripped down fencing prior to the protest at the US Capitol on January 6.
FACT 13: Several (6 or 7) undercover police were filmed flashing their badges to other DC police in bodycam footage on January 6.
FACT 14: Capitol Hill police officer tells fellow police the undercover cops have thin wristbands on. He’s not sure what color they are.
This was a highly coordinated government operation.
FACT 15: January 6th was a highly coordinated and planned intelligence operation run by the US government against the people of the United States.
