The Joe Rogan Experience
Speaking of which, did you see the new video of the fucking QAnon shaman being
led through the Capitol building by police?
No. What happened there?
You know, there's a story of the violent insurrection.
Oh yeah, of course.
That's the narrative, right?
By the way, let's just be real clear.
You shouldn't break into the fucking Capitol building.
You shouldn't be trying to overthrow the government.
You shouldn't be trying to like get out there and say that the election was
false when you don't exactly know.
You're just buying into it and then you all invade the Capitol.
Wasn't good. Wasn't a good look for America. Wasn't good for any of the people
there.
Nothing was good about January 6th. Let's be real clear.
But when you watch the video of that guy being led around through the Capitol
building by police,
they're basically giving him like a tour. They're talking to him and hanging
out with him.
At one point in time, it's him and there's like six police officers around him
and they're not arresting him.
They're not throwing him to the ground. There's no violence at all.
Like, I don't think what that guy did was good. I don't think what any of those
people did was good.
It wasn't smart to fucking barge into the Capitol and take pictures of your
feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk.
It's fucking stupid. It's a crime.
But they were leading him around. The cops were talking to him and hanging out
with him. They weren't like arresting him immediately.
It wasn't like he was this violent guy who broke in and started smashing things
and fucked the government.
They stayed between the velvet ropes.
Watch the video. Have you seen the video?
No, I have not seen the video.
See if you can find it because Tucker Carlson highlighted it on his television
show and now everybody's up in arms because it's coming from Tucker.
But it should be coming from the New York Times, too. It should be coming from
everybody.
This is video footage of this guy, and it's a thing that's different than what
we're being told it is.
We're being told that they barged in and fucking rah, and they overtook the
Capitol, locked them up, put them in jail.
It seems edited though, I'll be honest with you.
Yes.
It's definitely edited.
Both teams edited it in various ways.
It's definitely edited, but when you see the video itself, you do see these
cops walking around with this guy, and they're essentially, it's like they're
giving him a tour.
It doesn't seem like what we thought it was.
I thought it was like they broke in, and then they fucking scared the cops away,
and there were so many of them that they overtook the Capitol.
I'm going to get a lot of heat for this, and I don't care.
Where was President Trump for these people? These are his strongest supporters.
He did not stick his neck out for them in the slightest. He let them rot in
jail.
Is that the one?
I can't tell because I'm not listening to it.
So here it is.
But it turns out there's quite a bit of video you haven't seen.
And that video tells a very different story about what happened on January 6th.
Oh, they're fixing it.
More than 1,000 hours of surveillance footage from in and around the Capitol
have been withheld from the public.
And once you see the video, you'll understand why.
Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6th
was an insurrection.
In fact, it demolishes that claim.
And that's exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media
prevented you from seeing it.
By controlling the images you were allowed to view from January 6th, they
controlled how the public understood that day.
They could lie about what happened, and you would never know the difference.
Those lies had a purpose.
They created a pretext for a federal crackdown on opponents of the Uniparty in
Washington.
Our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe that we could charge
as many people as possible.
The first thing you notice from viewing the full video record of January 6th is
just how many people entered the Capitol building that day.
Holy shit.
Hundreds and hundreds of people.
Possibly thousands over the course of about two hours.
The crowd was enormous.
A small percentage of them were hooligans.
They committed vandalism.
You've seen their pictures again and again.
But the overwhelming majority weren't.
They were peaceful.
They were orderly and meek.
These were not insurrectionists.
They were sightseers.
Footage from inside the Capitol overturns the story you've heard about January
6th.
Protesters queue up in neat little lines.
They give each other tours outside the Speaker's office.
They take cheerful selfies and they smile.
They're not destroying the Capitol.
They obviously revere the Capitol.
They're there because they believe the election was stolen from them.
They believe in the system.
Here's the man you've heard referred to as the QAnon shaman outside the Senate
chamber.
These are not rioters.
These are people who wandered over from a political rally.
We will not let them silence your voices.
After the rally, they walked down Pennsylvania Avenue,
where organizers had secured a federal permit to hold a legal rally on the
grounds of the Capitol.
I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building
to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
Once at the Capitol building, things began to get chaotic.
Capitol police officers fired tear gas into the crowd.
A few at the front of the herd broke windows.
Someone opened the doors and many hundreds of others just walked in.
They're going to make that the story.
Of course, they did make it the story.
And at the center of it, the most famous person arrested that day was a Navy
veteran from Arizona
called Jacob Chansley, often referred to as the QAnon shaman.
The so-called QAnon shaman.
QAnon shaman.
Someone named Q Shaman.
Jacob Chansley became the face of January 6th.
A dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in outlandish costume who led the
violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy.
For these crimes, Chansley was sentenced to nearly four years in prison,
far more time than many violent criminals now receive.
What did Jacob Chansley do to receive this punishment?
To this day, there is dispute over how Chansley got into the Capitol building.
But according to our review of the internal surveillance video,
it is very clear what happened once he got inside.
Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape.
The tapes show that Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley.
They helped him.
They acted as his tour guides.
Wow.
Here's video of Chansley.
They're opening the door for him.
Capitol police officers take him to multiple entrances and even try to open
locked doors for him.
We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed
Jacob Chansley.
Not one of them even tried to slow him down.
Chansley understood that Capitol police were his allies.
Video shows him giving thanks for them in a prayer on the floor of the Senate.
Watch.
Thank you Heavenly Father for paying the inspiration needed to these police
officers to allow us in this building.
Holy crap.
Contrast the reality of what Jacob Chansley did in the Capitol building on
January 6th.
Oh, he's bald.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Wild.
Right.
You know, Jacob Chansley, that you've seen in the media for more than two years.
He's a terrorist, they said.
He should be killed.
Shoot him.
Yeah.
Shoot him.
Like, if it, you burst into the United States, if he was dressed like Bin Laden,
would
you have shot him?
Shoot him.
No.
Shoot him.
It makes you wonder, who are the violent extremists here?
Not Jacob Chansley.
And the video proves that.
But you would never have known from the media coverage.
Jesus.
The people sitting in the chairs.
Wild.
Right?
You're not supposed to go into the Capitol building.
Granted.
I thought you, at certain times you are.
Not like that.
Yeah, not like that.
Not like that.
But when you see the people taking him around essentially on a tour, that's not
what I thought
it was.
It's, I just hope all the conservatives watching this realize how little
appetite there is in
the Republican party for defending people like this.
And thinking that Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump care about this is a delusion.
It's not even defending them.
It's just, forget about it.
Let's look at what actually happened.
We didn't know that happened.
Right.
We had a version of it where it was just chaos and the cops ran away.
I would have never imagined this.
Cops were murdered.
Yeah.
I would have never imagined that this.
I'm shocked to see that, to be honest.
That's so wild.
And it's, and that, and like to your point that it's not a bigger story.
That it's fucking Tucker who's covering this.
Well, it's just broken.
And I think people are starting to pay attention to it now.
I don't think it's broken.
I think it's by design.
I think it's work, it's by design.
It's not an accident.
No, I mean it just broke.
I mean like.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, story just broke out.
It got out in the world.
I think it's really recent.
And so I think people are just starting to recognize that it's not what you
thought it was.
It's not good to get in.
It's not good, but they did.
Clearly.
You want to peacefully protest, you do it outside.
You don't ever go into the fucking Capitol building.
If someone smashes his door, don't enter behind it.
I don't see how not having him under house arrest wouldn't be infinitely preferable
to putting him in jail, which is cheaper.
Stay in your house.
They're putting him in jail for four years.
Yeah.
He's not violent.
For going on a tour.
There's no concern that he's going to kill someone or assault him.
Yeah.
He pled guilty.
Of course he did.
Of course he pled down.
He pled guilty to give him 25 years.
Yes.
Yeah.
And he was guilty.
He was there.
He was trespassing.
100% guilty.
He definitely should be, there should be some kind of punishment for doing that
to make sure that people don't do that again.
Well, wouldn't it be better if he did actually community service and help the
community?
Yes.
Clean up.
Go fucking clean up garbage somewhere.
Go clean up that wall.
Yeah.
Like do that for like four years every weekend.
You have to go to the mall, clean up broken glass.
Fine.
The problem is like with those kind of protest things, man.
The mob has a mind of its own.
And if you're in that mob and you just follow along with it and all of a sudden
they have your fucking face.
But that didn't even seem like the mob.
No.
Because it wasn't like they were knocking shit pulling off of walls.
But that's also selective.
Sure, of course.
This is the thing.
They're showing us only the good stuff.
If we wanted to watch all of it, I think there's some insane amount of hours of
footage and this has only been recently released.
So who knows what else we can see.
I think it's just very sad that we had these big hearings for a long time and
they must have had this footage and they sat on it.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
And I feel bad for those people because they were duped.
Yeah.
They really thought that like Trump had their back and this is okay.
And you know, we're American.
Like the whole little narrative.
I also feel bad for people like that guy saying, shoot him.
Shoot him.
Why?
Because now if he sees this video, he's going to realize like, oh.
No, he won't.
I was misinformed.
No way.
He will double down.
He will absolutely double down.
Really?
100%.
Capitol Police Chief Blast Tucker Carlson over misleading January 6 footage.
Video aired by Carlson showed QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley accompanied by police
but not violence on the day rioters stormed the Capitol.
And so what is he saying about it being misleading?
Uh, Fox folks.
People didn't respond to comment when asked.
Claimed by Carlson that Capitol Police served as tour guides for Jacob Chansley.
They were outnumbered.
The horn wearing QAnon shaman was outrageous and false.
The police manager wrote.
He said that the Capitol Police were badly outnumbered on January 6th and that
those officers did their best to use de-escalation tactics to try to talk rioters
into getting each other to leave the building.
Okay.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
But that's still not the same.
Why are they opening doors for him?
That's still not the same narrative.
Is that de-escalation tactics?
Yeah, you can see it.
Take a look at it.
But you guys got to leave.
Well, I was looking at it.
I thought maybe that they were taking him out.
Not in handcuffs, obviously, which maybe they should have if they thought he
did bad, but leading him out of the building.
That's why the one cops didn't react to, like, he's taking him out.
Maybe they're looking for an exit.
But it seemed like they were looking for an entrance.
Because he was saying that he gave thanks to the police officers for letting
them in.
It seemed very clear also that there was no possibility that he was going to be
violent toward them.
Like, they were not clearly in fear of their lives or that he was going to
swing on them or anything like that.
No.
No, no, not at all.
I mean, they were talking to him.
Yeah.
He thanked them.
He gave a prayer and thanked them.
It's a very unfortunate thing.
Four years is no joke.
Four years.
It's a long fucking time.
It's a long time to be locked up.
Carlson says they checked with the Capitol Police before airing the video.
He said, "We're happy to say their reservations were minor and for the most
part, they're a reasonable Capitol Police spokesman.
Tim Barber said that we repeatedly request that any clips be shown to us first
for a security review.
So far, we have only been given the ability to preview a single clip out of the
multiple clips that aired."
So they didn't show them all the video.
So they wanted...
And his attorney didn't have that footage.
Wow.
Holy crap.
Chansley's attorney, through sentencing in November 2021, said he had been
provided many hours of video by prosecutors, but not the footage which Carlson
aired on Monday night.
He said that he had not seen video of Chansley walking through Capitol Hallways
with multiple Capitol Police officers.
What's deeply troubling, Watkins said Tuesday, is the fact that I have to watch
Tucker Carlson to find video footage which the government has, but chose not to
disclose despite the absolute duty to do so.
Despite being requested in writing to do so multiple times.
You can't...
I'm not an attorney, but I know enough that if you're a prosecutor, you're
holding evidence that could clear the defendant, that's not legal.
Because discovery means you have to turn over all the evidence, not just things
that will incriminate him.
It's ugly.
Wow.
Can you imagine if this gets overturned?
Or he gets...
Wow.
Yeah.
It says Carlson's program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of
our over 41,000 hours of video, Manja wrote.
Yep.
The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that
happened before or during these less time.
These less tense moments.
Well, that's fair.
Sure.
Carlson previously produced a three-part series in 2021 called Patriot Purge on
the streaming service Fox Nation, which suggested the riot was orchestrated by
Antifa groups.
The FBI and other government agencies, it was a false flag operation to discredit
Trump supporters.
But here's the thing.
The FBI was asked if they used Asian provocateurs on January 6th, and they
refused to answer.
I'm sure you've seen that footage.
Yes.
Yeah.
And they know about that guy, Ray Epps, that was on the Capitol grounds saying,
"We gotta go in there."
And people are calling him a fed, and nothing's happened to that guy.
Nothing's happened to that guy.
But the guy was clearly inciting these people to do something illegal, and they
know who he is.
Yeah, they have it on tape.
Yeah.
Thank you.
