Speaker vows to release the J6 tapes, but what does that process actually look like?



It’s about time the public hears the truth about what happened on January 6, 2021, and according to House Speaker Mike Johnson, that time is nearing.

Investigative journalist Steve Baker, who has seen and analyzed the tapes himself, joins Steve Deace to explain how this process will likely play out.

“How much footage is the speaker vowing to release, and under what kind of a timetable are we talking about here?” Deace inquires.

“He's talking about releasing about 95% of [the footage],” says Baker. “Now what's the other 5%, and what makes that nefarious? Nothing – it's the secure areas of the Capitol,” such as the hidden staircases, doors, and passageways where “members under threat of an emergency would … escape.”

As for the timeline, Baker says that “there's a lot of misconceptions “ about an “early release” floating around.

As of last Friday, “only 90 hours” of footage were posted on the House Administration Committee's website, and the reason for that is because “that is the 90 hours that have already been cleared by security review.”

As for the rest of the 40,000 hours of footage, it will be a “monumental task on behalf of these congressional staffers and aides,” says Baker.

According to one senior aide Baker spoke to, “they're thinking about hiring a company to come in and handle this for them.”

“So this is going to take many months for the speaker's promise to release this to the public to finally be fulfilled.”

“How confident are you that they're going to follow through with this to the end?” asks Deace.

“I am confident because, as you know, I've had direct communications with Speaker Johnson” and other “congressional contacts,” says Baker, “and we know that this is going to happen.”

Beck: How to restore TRUST in America



How can we restore trust in America? Glenn Beck has the answer.

He points out that law enforcement agencies seem to be involved in a lot of the terror we see on the news.

For example: Just this past Sunday, a group of about one hundred protesters targeted a new police training facility in Atlanta — and it got violent. They set things on fire and broke down the fence. Thirty-five people were detained. It was “anarchy,” Beck says.

One of those protesting was an attorney from the Southern Poverty Law Center, who claims he was only there as a legal observer.

Beck says, “I got news for you. If Ted Cruz was in the crowd that was breaking down the windows of the Capitol on January 6 and said I’m only a legal observer — I wouldn’t excuse him.”

He goes on, “These are the people that our administration has gone to, to define domestic terror. And they have one of their attorneys there in the violent crowd.”

But this isn’t the first time this has happened.

“You seem to have a pattern here,” Beck points out. “It seems like your allies or your law enforcement agencies seem to be involved in a lot of these things. The Whitmer kidnapping; there were more cops involved than there were people that plotted it. That’s why everyone went free.”

“Then you have Ray Epps ... who claimed in a text that he coordinated [January 6], is on video telling everybody ‘you gotta go in, we gotta take this country back.’”

How can you restore trust in a government that is inherently untrustworthy? Beck has the hard answer.

He says, “I don’t know how you put it back together without unplugging and replugging the entire thing back in. You have to reset to factory settings. You have to clean out the nest of vipers. Our government, our police, FBI prosecutors, judges, schools”

Beck continues, “It’s time to find new guardians, because these guardians have failed to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
