off-limits to you and all other american citizens who don't work for the government -- no matter what you heard the point of the system is not to protect the country from foreign adversaries. the point is to take power of the voters and the officials they elect and hand that power to the bureaucracy in washington. it's dangerous. for once we can report some meaningful push back against this deceit. kevin mccarthy became speaker of the house last friday. he is pledgeing to let americans see "all that happened at the u.s. capital on january 6th, 2021. that means releasing 14,000 hours of surveillance footage from day that has remained

hidden. >> i think the people should see it. i watched what nancy pelosi did. she politicized it. the first time in the history as a speaker not allowing a minority to appoint to a committee. to pick and choose. i think the american public should see what happened instead of a report written for a political basis. i want to be thoughtful about it but yes, i am engage to do that. >> tucker: well, yeah. after 2 full years after highly politicized congressional committee and grand standing in the media and unprecedented political crackdown and 1,000 arrests, americans have a right to know what happened on january 6th. that's what kevin mccarthy said. who could argue otherwise? what is the counter argument? well, there is one. democrats have been making it in court. the footage from that day is

still hidden. a quote from a brief filed in a federal court by a left wing u.s. attorney named phillips: so that's it right this. you can't know whether the capitol's surveillance cameras tilt or zoom. if you do know, america is in peril. it's absurd. every human movement in the united states capitol is recorded by cameras. the same is true in every public building.

that's not the secret the democrats if he were you might learn if you saw the tape. they are more concerned whether you will discover how many law enforcements agents helped protestors enter the building. we have the tape. >> police are shouting at protestors. they just breached the capitol again. >> tucker: the barricades came down. it was not the police who took them down. we don't know the identity of the people who did. why don't we with? julie reported -- the man who has his feet on nancy pelosi's desk on january 6th. a police commander admitted that

agents were leaping the crowd. here's the exchange: and confirmed they were highly trained violent people who worked together and coordinate together. that's a remarkable admission but who were these people. under oath the director of the fbi refused to deny they were working with federal law enforcement or that fbi agents dressed as trump supporters.

>> can you not tell the people we didn't have agents dressed as trump supporters inside the capitol? >> you should not read anything into my decision not to stair information. >> his time expired. >> tucker: that's outrageous. it's obvious the fbi did have sources dressed as trump supporters inside the capitol. we as americans have a right to know. how many fbi agents participated in the january 6th riots? why can't we know? there is no good reason. fbi director christopher wray wants to keep the footage hidden so we can't know. the secret is not where the cameras in the capitol, pan, tilt or zoom. that's ridiculous. the real secret is what really happened there. for 2 years the department of

justice fought the release of this footage. some of that footage has emerged. look at this tape. released only after a federal judgy rejected the doj's claim that this footage needed to stay secret on national security grounds. it covers a 15 minute period on january 6th from 2:25 to 2:40 p.m. eastern time. 2:26 was when mike pence was evacuated from the capitol. this shows people taking pictures. not much of a riot. the doj is charging some of the people who entered the capitol with endangering the safety of mike pence.

they said the capitol was restricted because mike pence was present. it doesn't appear from that footage that it's true. where was mike pence at the time? people are doing jail time. but we can't verify it because the surveillance footage is classified. we should see it. that footage might show when the capitol police officers began cpr on the trump supporter who died that day. we might learn where a person was wearing a maga hat as he coordinated with protestors. and the guy in the viking hat, his activities during january

6th. he is serving almost 4 years behind bars for declining a police officer's halfhearted request that he take the party elsewhere. >> good to see you guys. [bleep]. god bless you. >> i am good. >> [radio chatter]. >> some kind of plastic bullet. >> this is the sacredest place. >> tucker: more than half of all murders in the united states are not solved because law enforcement can't get its act together to solve those murders. that guy has had his life destroyed and is spending 41 months in prison. why? did he do something we are not

aware of? the surveillance footage would show us and answer that question. big picture: if you don't want another january 6th and avoid another riot, you want as much of the footage to come out as possible. instead our government has been using the information blackout necessary for national security to do what they usually do: lie to us. joe biden just claimed on camera that right wing insurrectionists and racists killed the capitol police officers. he was murdered at a check-point by a support from the nation of islam. >> 3 months after january 6th, they are still cordonning off the capitol because of threats by the sick insurrectionists are rising on the internet. all of america saw what

happened. when officer evans was killed defending the check-point to get to the capitol. >> tucker: evil and secrecy used to be obvious to all americans. we have a right to know and transparency is the only solution. it looks like we will get some thanks to speaker kevin mccarthy and a small group of republicans who pushed him in that direction. congressman from florida is one of them. how gratifying, you didn't want kevin mccarthy as speaker. now he is doing something you have been calling for. how gratifying is this? >> bravo speaker mccarthy. this was not an agreement at the beginning of the week. but speaker mccarthy understood this was important to a great many of us.

when we get 14,000 hours we can see the extent to which the federal agents increased criminal actions. we will be able to see if there is evidence that would show that people never intended to violate a law even though they might have been technically out of compliance with the standard was based on the vice-president's movements that they were probably not aware of anyway. it's interesting. every time from the jfk files to 9-11 to january 6th, it's our own government and our own department of justice that stands in the way of transparency. the speaker of the house deserves a great deal of credit for this. >> tucker: amen. i had similar few about mccarthy but i am thankful for this. you serve in congress. can you think of any real reason

tried to national security concerns to keep this footage secret? >> no. we know from whistleblower interviews there were federal agents on the grounds. they want to protect those people. they don't want the answers to the questions about coordination and that's what they are trying to preserve. when the department of justice is standing in the way of disclosure, it's because they are trying to protect against embarrassment and not protect our safety. >> tucker: [laughing]. it's self-protection. >> yes. >> tucker: thank you very much. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: joe biden's staff discovered and joe biden admitted he was storing classified documents in several locations. his office, his garage. the vin biden center.

as a result of a colonoscopy they found more -- just kidding. you have to you wonder. what is weird the doj hasn't raided any of joe biden's properties even though we have been told these are serious crimes. an employee from the department of defense went to jail for taking classified documents to their hotel room. this man spent time around a classified documents. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. this was the world you lived in. you worked in. assess the doj's response to what biden did.

>> well, if you were a normal person who happened to work in the national security apparatus. you lived in constant fear of even the smallest infraction of classified protocols. i saw adults break down in tears because they thought they misplaced something inside a classified facilities. your career and even your freedom could be taken from you with the most smallest infraction. a true tyranny doesn't enforce all laws. it's the case for the powerful and every day folks in national security. now add the dem rat layer. he said his corvette was in the garage and it was locked.

if i said that, don't worry about it. they would have taken my badge. told me my clearances were revoked and i would be awaiting federal charges. joe biden thinks no big deal, man. i got a lot of money from the bin biden center. >> tucker: the documents sat there for 6 years? i think there is more to this story. buck, thanks. >> the big part is who found it? everyone says this is an effort to push biden aside. it's not hard to get rid of a few documents here and there. the big question we are asking: is this just the meeting of tremendous biden incompetence which has been going on for 40 plus years with opportunism from within the national security apparatus? that's what we want to know. >> tucker: i think is make way

for mitchell. -- michelle. not provable. we will see. the biden administration has been encouraging americans, young people to smoke more weed and meth and send crack pipes to crack addicts. one member of congress wants to burn a cigar in his office and liberals are hysterically. we will speak to him. and arming ukraine is a threat to our own national security. the u.s. military is running out of things to defend ourselves. details ahead.

but everything looks clear. no ugly white spots in there. all gone. yay!

hours ago the cdc said its vaccine safety data link identify aid new link between pfizer's new booster covid shot and strokes in people over the age of 65 -- the cdc raised a question whether people over the age of kriv were more like to have a stroke 21 days after a vaccination. an investigation is underway. a lot going on with the nation's health. people have a lot of questions about it. we are trying to separate fact from fiction. we will bring you what we know on monday. what is interesting that for the past 2 years the biden administration has been actively encouraging drug use among americans. not just weed. it's on every town in the country. also meth and crack.

the biden administration has literally sent crack pipes to crack addicts. something we never thought would happen. they are doing it. on the other side, you have republicans. they are back in control of the house of representatives. because they are, on the house side republican members who want to smoke tobacco once again can. they could not when nancy pelosi was speaker am. she banned smoking there in 2027. you would think this would be non-controversial where you are allowed to smoke meth in a park. it's very controversial. unlike meth, weed and crack and tobacco is bad. several members are complaining -- you wonder why is tobacco so dangerous. we asked a member of congress

who smokes a cigar. grateful that you are here. willing to stand up for tobacco. tell us why it's important for you to burn a cigar occasionally in your office? >> it's all about freedom. the dishonest media wants to complain about a little smokeout my cigar. they don't want to talk about inpop inpopulation -- inflation or the crime at the southern border. people have enjoyed cigars from nixon and jfk. and bill clinton he enjoyed a good cigar every once in a while. i don't know what all of the hoopla is all about. you are right. in 2007, nancy pelosi said you cannot smoke cigars in the

capitol building. that did not include member's offices. there are many of us in the cigar caucus that enjoy cigars in our office. now they want to come after us because we are in the majority. this is typical from the left. they want to it infringe on our rights and they are probably complaining about the color of my tie. it doesn't end. >> tucker: if you were speaking weed or meth no one would say anything. what is it about tobacco which was a religious sacrament for the american indians that triggers them so profoundly? >> i don't know. maybe they have never tried one. you look at a nice ashton cigar. try one.

ukraine. >> well, it is. it underscores the really big problem. the administration doesn't have a strategy or even an idea what it is trying to accomplish on the ground in ukraine. we sent some of the patriots. we are putting in the bradleys. strikers. the numbers keep going up. this is not the older stuff. now you are getting into the bone. how long will you do this? how much will you giveaway? what happens when we put our security at risk? something that hasn't been addressed by the administration so far: after the winter offensive russia is weeks away from launching. whether russia has a big success or the ukraine side comes in,

you can be sure that other people will say, man, we gave them all of this stuff. russia is winning so we have to give them more or they will say no, ukraine is doing good. we have to give them even more to keep going. there will always be asked for more. hour interests have to enter into the conversation and so far they have not. >> tucker: no, they haven't. ukraine is in europe. where are the european nations? why is this the sole duty of the united states? >> that's a big issue. we want to shift of some this burden to the people who have the most at stake. it can't be america's primary responsibility to do these things. that's what people are asking. we have to change that. >> tucker: yes.

thanks for coming on. commercial fishing has been going on since the beginning of time. it's in the bible. wind farms are brand new. a huge increase in the death of whales. how is the government claiming it's your fault? >> well, actually, right now the government is not claiming it's anybody's fault. i can't say that all of the whales that are washing up are because of off-shore wind farms. but the seven whales that washed up off new jersey have all washed up during intense surveying of wind farm leases off of new jersey. on the east coast there has been an unusual mortality event for humpback whales from 2016 until now. the only thing that has changed in the ocean in that time is the fact there are off-shore wind

surveys occurring from 2015 until now. now magically there are a bunch of humpback whales dying and whales from 2017 until now. the only thing that changed in the ocean is the surveying activities going on for off-shore wind farms which are carpet bombing the ocean floor with intense sound. >> tucker: and whales use sound to navigate. why wouldn't that kill them? you are applying the principles of science. assess what changed. there are all kinds of biologists paid by the federal government to figure this out. where are they? >> it's a very good question, tucker. there are a lot of people right now calling for the complete end

of these off-shore wind surveys. tlshtd be. -- there should be. they need to take a hard look at this. we know that intense sound can cause bleeding in the eardrums of whales. now all of a sudden you have off-shore wind farm surveys and they are stranded. a lot is not being reported. in november six pilot whales washed up on cape cod. five died. nobody is reporting on this. there needs to be a suspension of these surveys until somebody can do an investigation. >> tucker: yes, where are the liberals that used to care about the whales and the environment and the land? they are all gone or taking money from green energy. i appreciate you coming on and telling the truth. >> thank you.
