Tucker Carlson sat down with a former Capitol Police officer who was ignored by the House Jan. 6 Select Committee despite the pivotal role he had that day. Tarik Johnson, a 22-year veteran on the Capitol Hill force, was tasked with securing the certification of the 2020 presidential election. "My voice is one of the first ones you hear on the audio transmission, so I did expect to get an interview sometime, but it didn't happen." Johnson told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" about the House Select Committee in an interview aired Tuesday. "I guess the focus was on Donald Trump."

This poor guy lost his job. The Piglousy turned it over to a gal who has since retired to a cushy new gig in Nancy's district. Criminal traitors!

Quite frankly I expected more footage of the people in the Capitol last night, but I guess the 41,000 hours of footage doesn't show much of anything going on inside the Capitol. What wasn't mentioned last night by the Lt. was that Piglosi, the mayor of D.C. and probably the Chief of the Capitol Police all refused Trump's offer of 2000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol. This is another reason I think was an attempt to accuse Trump of being involved with the so-called insurrection. Since Trump made the offer for troops to protect the Capitol, Piglosi used that offer to create the idea that Trump knew all along that people were going to storm the Capitol and the whole affair was Trump's doing.

We need more information and follow up on the female police officer who ignored this man’s request for backup. What is her connection to the whole event, and especially Nancy Pelosi? Sounds like she got a very nice payoff in Berkeley

I am curious and have not heard anyone mention this and it's a minor detail, but every four years during this certification process is the Capitol building closed to the Public? Not that the certification process in previous years ever got much media attention. The USCP were woefully and intentionally unprepared for any protest: small or large groups that day. I use to work in DC - almost 25 years and I can tell you that the feds and local police know how to put up proper and secure fencing, etc. as necessary: inaugurations, rallies, etc. There is no excuse that the Capitol was left so undefended. Actually, the Trump supporters were not the problem - it was the infiltrators.

I wish that Tucker would have asked as to any official investigation of the "officer involved shooting" of the unarmed Ashli Babbitt. I thought that sort of thing was standard operating procedure for police agencies, but it appears that it was not addressed in any serious manner. Why? Who decided that no investigation was required in this instance? My bet is Nasty Nancy.

FTA: ~~ "Johnson still wonders why the January 6 Committee never called him to testify. "Since you were there on January 6, what did you think of the job of the January 6 Committee?" Carlson asked. "I prayed almost daily that they would get to me," Johnson responded. "I was never asked to testify… I was never asked by anybody connected to the January 6 Committee to testify. I asked myself why every day, and every day I might have a different answer. But, you know, pretty much they focused on Donald Trump and not the failures of the Capitol Police." ~~

I was disappointed that very little time was spent on showing videos. Have they got to Tucker already? Why is this being slow walked? Where is the videos of innocent people being gassed and beaten by police. Where is video of woman being beaten to death before she could be dragged away.Where is info that Trump warned and offered help days before but Pelosi and mayor said they didn’t need help. Release the videos to Newsmax and others or even put it out there on twitter. Why allow only one source to decide what is to be shown . Chuckie Shumer has to much power to shut this down

#10, most of the footage is said to be static. In a room where nothing was happening. You know this was all about trying to "get Trump" when they simply ignored the failures of the Capitol Police that day, and how the DC mayor emphatically wrote how they did not want any additional LE assistance. Have heard their Nancy didn't like "the optics" of the National Guard at the Capitol Building.

Of course he lost his job. Any government employee in DC now that shows up in media with THAT HAT will probably get the same. It’s very upsetting when you are a Democrat!

Mitch McConnell has fallen at a hotel in Washington and is currently in the hospital. Two questions immediately spring to mind, neither of which have answers at this point: is this the end of the dreary McConnell era of establishment Republican Me-Tooism? And is there some karmic relationship between Mitch’s fall and his throwing Tucker Carlson under the bus and affirming the Left’s bogus Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative?

Seizing an opening in their long war against Fox News, mainstream news outlets are blasting out reports that some of the network’s leading stars appear to have knowingly lied about the 2020 election. In blanket coverage that echoes reporting on the invasion of Normandy, they are hammering Fox with one-sided court documents that suggest they deceived their audience by pretending Trump might have won when they knew he had lost. The charge that this episode proves Fox is not a legitimate news outlet is overkill, but if the emails and texts released so far are not just cherry-picked tidbits, the actions of some of its hosts were indefensible.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday. Kaepernick talked about coming to terms with his racial identity while growing up in a White family in his new graphic novel, "Change the Game." The former football player recalled disagreements with his parents that he attributed to racism, calling his upbringing "problematic." "I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through," the biracial quarterback said to CBS News.

For more than two years, while they controlled every lever of power in Washington, the Democratic Party and their media allies told a one-sided story about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. For more than two years, the surveillance footage from the 2021 Capitol riot, aired this week by Tucker Carlson, was kept from the American public by a Democratic Congress so a false narrative became cemented in the public consciousness. For more than two years, footage that could have exonerated Jan. 6 defendants was kept from their legal teams. People are in prison because of that cover-up.

Pick almost any poll over the past decade and you’ll find that voters always cite the economy as their top issue. Depending on the survey, the economy issue is also often more broadly defined in surveys as “jobs,” and, in the past couple of years, as “inflation.” But, however you look at the issue of the economy, we’re seeing a subtle change in how people process the constant flow of economic data that bombards them every day. They are becoming more educated and more sophisticated on federal fiscal issues and how they impact their own economic futures.

For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced significant progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country as nearly 70% thought that relations between Whites and Blacks were very or somewhat good. In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the Black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony by utilizing

There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.

(Snip) The proximate cause of this letter of apology is the airing, two nights ago, of excepts from tens of thousands of hours of security camera footage from the United States Capitol taken on Jan 6, 2021.

Jenna Ellis, an attorney who advised then-President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election results, was censured for misconduct Wednesday by a Colorado Supreme Court judge. The Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said that Ellis violated a Colorado rule for professional conduct that prohibits “misrepresentation” by attorneys. The office said Ellis made a series of public statements about the 2020 election that were false. “The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” the office said in a statement.

President Joe Biden released his budget on Thursday, vowing to cut $3 trillion from the federal deficit over the next decade, in part, by levying a 25% minimum tax on the wealthiest Americans. Biden also raises more revenue by increasing taxes on oil and gas companies, hiking the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from 21% imposed under former President Donald Trump but below the 35% tax pre-2017, and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. With Biden likely to run for re-election in 2024, his budget is also a preview into his platform as a candidate and campaign pitch in the year ahead.
