Former Representative Adam Kinzinger and CNN contributor was asked on Tuesday to comment on the January 6 video that was released on Monday by Tucker Carlson.
Carlson was given permission by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to inspect the 43,000 hours of video taken by security cameras and police bodycams on January 6 that has been hidden until now to the American public.  Dozens of January 6 defendants have asked for this video but have been denied access to the video that would have exonerated many of these innocent men and women.
The January 6 Committee lied to the American public about the events of that day.  Adam Kinzinger was a member of the committee.  Kinzinger lied for years to the American public.
Today he responded to Tucker Carlson’s explosive reporting.
Adam Kinzinger: “Look, in terms of saying that we have hidden this footage, we had one of the most transparent hearings in history with the most footage we have ever shown in history, and every single, almost, witness that came in front of us was a very partisan witness. They were all Republicans that came in front of this committee.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday evening was ambushed by rabid, left-wing reporters for giving Fox News host Tucker Carlson access to January 6 footage.
The Democrat-RINO-Media complex collectively lost their minds after Speaker McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson never-before-seen January 6 footage.
The newly released J6 footage blew the “insurrection” narrative up.
So-called ‘reporters’ asked McCarthy why he chose transparency over politics in deciding to release the footage.
McCarthy defended Tucker Carlson and said transparency was his first priority.
“Each person can come up with their own conclusion, I just wanted to make sure that I had transparency,” McCarthy said.
The Speaker then blasted CNN for airing footage that put his security at risk.
“I know when CNN.. where you guys actually broke where we were. This was a secret location…I don’t know if you got concern about that. I don’t even know from a point of security if we can ever be taken there again – but when you broke that at CNN that was a real concern to a lot of people,” McCarthy said blasting the CNN reporter.
McCarthy said he worked with the Capitol Police to make sure he wasn’t posting any footage that would put security at risk.
“I worked with the Capitol Police. I asked them for any clips on the way that they had concern with, the security level. Only one of the clips did. We were able to change that,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy then revealed something new about the January 6 Committee.
“An interesting thing the Capitol Police told us when we went through this is that January 6 never asked them about that – the security, so that’s why they showed, unfortunately, Vice President Pence when he was being escorted out – they used my office…they never asked the Capitol Police if that’s showing security clearance – which they should – they didn’t! They didn’t ask me as well,” McCarthy said.

A new poll from Rasmussen has found that most Americans believed that the COVID-19 virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan and that officials covered it up.
This comes on the heels of new reports which seem to confirm the lab leak theory at the very least.
Gateway Pundit was one of the first sites to suggest it was a lab leak.
It’s amazing to think that this was a supposed ‘conspiracy theory’ just months ago, according to Democrats and the media.
The Washington Examiner reports:
America knew: 67% believed COVID lab leak, while 65% thought officials covered it up
Most were not surprised last week when two federal agencies expressed confidence that the source of the coronavirus was a leak out of a Wuhan, China, lab.
Nor were they shocked by other recent reports that said masking didn’t do much to stop the spread of COVID-19.
And suspicions that U.S. officials played a role in covering up China’s monstrously deadly attack on the world were also met with a knowing nod.
In fact, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey on the COVID topics, most in the U.S. showed that they have been dismissive of claims from the media and Biden administration about the virus, masks, and how it started.
Consider these findings in the survey:
– On the leak, 67% said they “already believed” it came from “the Wuhan lab,” a claim made in the early days of the crisis by former President Donald Trump but dismissed in the media. Just 20% said they were surprised when an Energy Department and the FBI fingered the lab leak as the likely source of the virus.
– On masks, 49% said that they “already believed” that they didn’t work before the recent reports that masks were ineffective. Some 35% said they were surprised.
– And 65% suspected that U.S. officials were involved in the “cover-up” to hide “China’s role” in the pandemic. House Republicans are looking into ex-virus czar Anthony Fauci’s ties to China and the lab.
– Overall, just 43% gave a good grade to U.S. public health officials for the handling of the virus, while 55% graded them fair to poor, and just 1% were not sure.
Is anyone surprised by any of this?

More and more evidence is revealed nearly every day on how the Biden regme was censoring and eliminating disfavored information and unapproved thoughts immediately after entering office.
This isn’t your daddy’s America anymore.
Via TechnoFog on Substack.
The Biden White House’s demands of COVID-19 censorship began right after the President took power. It was a matter of days. Three days to be exact. Three days before the crimes of thought were to be punished.
On January 23, 2021, a mere three days after Biden was inaugurated, White House officials flagged COVID-19 “misinformation” for removal ASAP – including tweets by activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Biden’s censorship operation was led by Rob Flaherty, the White House director of digital media. And the quickness with which they dispensed demands to suppress speech indicated a prioritization of the Biden Administration to put an end to unwelcome and politically inconvenient thoughts.
1
By February 2021, just over one month into the Biden Administration, Flaherty was demanding information from Facebook on whether “misinformation” was being removed and whether there was “misinformation” that hadn’t been considered by Facebook’s “removal policies.” You can imagine the purpose of that inquiry: to explore the boundaries of Facebook’s COVID-19 policies so that the White House could suppress compliant, but borderline, posts and videos.

E-mails reveal that Facebook was the most forcefully targeted out of all social media companies. In May 2021, Flaherty chastised the social media giant for allowing COVID-19 disinformation to go viral and accused Facebook of a lack of dedication to the broader censorship effort: “Seems like your ‘dedicated vaccine hesitancy’ policy isn’t stopping the [COVID-19] disinfo dozen.”

Flaherty was also frustrated with Facebook’s failure to obey the Biden White House’s demands that they remove “bad information” from search results, which he deemed to be the easiest things Facebook could do. He questioned their abilities to achieve “the higher bar stuff” because they couldn’t get “that right.” His closing message to Facebook: “I don’t know why you guys can’t figure this out.”

As has been previously reported, Flaherty was also demanding Facebook censor Tucker Carlson, taking issue with Tucker not being part of Facebook’s “reduction” efforts.

Faced with these issues, Flaherty would eventually provide Facebook a series of “recommendations”. He described these as the “crux of their recs” that was circulating the White House – but with the vague qualification that this was not a “White House endorsement of these suggestions.” In using documents and research from outrageously biased organizations like Media Matters (who has slandered us in the past), they demanded a tougher censorship plan that spanned across platforms. These recommendations – again, which came from the White House – also included:

Reduction of “the reach of low-quality domains used by prominent anti-vaxxers.”
Warnings when users link to or visit domains “known to promote vaccine misinformation.”

 
The Biden White House’s frustration with Facebook only grew. Another White House official, Andrew Slavitt (he who targeted Alex Berenson), was pressuring Facebook on their response to the White House. He alleged Facebook was not being “straightforward” and that they were “trying to meet a minimum hurdle” instead of trying to solve the COVID-19 misinformation problem.
In that e-mail was also a threat: “Internally [meaning inside the White House] we have been considering our options on what to do about it.”

 
In dealing with Google, however, the Biden Administration praised their ability to suppress by 70% views of content that was “borderline”. The White House had successfully expanded the definition of misinformation and suppressed technically approved content.

Yet Google also got the threats. Rob Flaherty, in addressing the continued issues with combatting vaccine hesitancy, made it clear that President Biden would be informed of their progress – and of their failures:
“We want to be sure that you have a handle on vaccine hesitancy generally and are working toward making the problem better. This is a concern that is shared at the highest (and I mean highest) levels of the WH.”
The Agencies and Bureaucrats would not be outdone.
The actions taken by the Biden Administration aligned with federal agencies like the CDC and FDA, and bureaucrats like Tony Fauci and Francis Collins.

Adam Kinzinger went after Tucker Carlson and his releasing videotape coverage of the truth behind the Jan 6 protest and riot.  
Kinzinger never provided these videos even though for two years after the event he had access to the footage because he was a member of the bogus Jan 6 committee that withheld this video from the public.

CNN also appears to be happy to label the new video uncovered by Tucker as a lie. But using Kinzinger for support destroys their effort.

Rick Grennel set little Kinzinger straight – he notes that Kinzinger hasn’t responded to why he never released the same information and kept it from the American people when the little guy had access to the video when on the Jan 6 Committee.

The FBI is investigating the “suspicious” death of a woman aboard a Carnival cruise ship.
The woman, who has not been identified, was found unresponsive under suspicious circumstances on February 27 on a trip from Charleston, South Carolina to Nassau.
“Both the deceased and her husband were debarked in Nassau and Bahamian authorities have already investigated the circumstances and are conducting an autopsy,” the cruise line said in a statement to CBS News.
Medical staff and crew members attempted life saving measures, according to the FBI’s Columbia field office.
Carnival is “fully cooperating” with the FBI and investigators in the Bahamas.
CBS News reported:
The FBI is investigating the “suspicious” death of a woman aboard a Carnival cruise ship traveling from Charleston, South Carolina, to Nassau, Bahamas, last month.
On Feb. 27, Carnival’s Sunshine crew members and medical staff responded to an unresponsive female passenger, the FBI Columbia field office said in a news release. Despite their best efforts, the woman was pronounced dead on the ship, the release said.
The incident was isolated and posed no threats to other passengers, according to the FBI.
When the ship returned to Charleston on March 4, FBI officials searched the dead passenger’s room for evidence, according to the news release.
The FBI said it investigates suspicious deaths of U.S. citizens as well as “certain crimes on the high seas.” Officials have not disclosed the identity of the passenger or the cause of death and said the incident remains under investigation.

Janet Yellen, the Democrat fossil who is running the Treasury Department under Biden, is now warning of coming losses in asset value because of climate change.
Of course, losses in value have absolutely nothing to do with the policies of the Biden administration. Climate change is to blame.
And remember, this is the same woman who claimed that inflation would be transitory.
The Hill reports:
Yellen warns climate change may trigger losses in US
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to warn on Tuesday that climate change is already having an economic impact in the U.S., cautioning that it could cause asset value losses in the future, according to Reuters.
Yellen is expected to issue the warning to an advisory board that includes academics and leaders from both the nonprofit and private sector, according to Reuters. The secretary will also argue that a slow transition to a net-zero carbon economy could have deep impacts on the country’s financial system.
“As climate change intensifies, natural disasters and warming temperatures can lead to declines in asset values that could cascade through the financial system,” she said in remarks prepared for delivery at the advisory board’s first meeting. “And a delayed and disorderly transition to a net-zero economy can lead to shocks to the financial system as well.”
The climate change alert from Yellen comes as weather disasters in the last year have caused billions of dollars in damage across the U.S. A report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration concluded that 2022 tied 2017 and 2011 for the highest number of billion-dollar disasters.
Note how The Hill doesn’t question Yellen’s ridiculous premise at all. If anything, they jump in to defend her position. The media only speaks truth to power when Republicans are in charge.

The expert who brought you “We’ll never see another financial crisis in our lifetime” and “Inflation is transitory” has decided to expand beyond her field of expertise, surely she’ll be right about this one. https://t.co/qSOxq9b4F3

While their boss Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) wastes away in the psyche ward of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland where’s he’s been for the past three weeks incommunicado while suffering from depression and damage from last year’s stroke, Fetterman’s staff spent Tuesday afternoon promoting wife Gisele Fetterman in her new role as volunteer firefighter. Hey, a girl’s gotta do something with her free time with her husband out of town all the time now.

Pittsburgh news outlet WTAE-TV spotted Gisele at the scene of a three-alarm apartment building blaze on Tuesday. Curiously, the video featuring Gisele was not posted by WTAE to any of it’s platforms, yet somehow a former Fetterman campaign staffer Rebecca Katz posted the video. Could Fetterman’s campaign staff have sent it to her with an ask to post? That’s how things work in D.C.
Katz posted the video with a gushing comment praising a woman who helped drive her husband into self-ruin, “Never underestimate ⁦⁦
@giselefetterman⁩. She really can do it all. ”

The video was also retweeted by Fetterman’s chief of staff Adam Jentleson and comms staffer Nick Gavio.
Jentleson released staged photos of a gaunt looking Fetterman on Monday.

Being a volunteer firefighter is all well and good. But when your husband is wasting away and struggling to function, one would hope the priority in the marriage would her husband. But not for Gisele, who has been living her ‘best life’ since he was hospitalized February 15 for clinical depression because he had become a danger to himself and was unable to feed or hydrate himself properly. When John was hospitalized for the second time in February, Gisele boasted online that she took their kids on a ziplining adventure in Canada instead of rushing to her dangerously ill husband’s side. Gisele finally spent a few days at Walter Reed in late February but then hightailed it back to Braddock.

I am not really sure how to navigate this journey but am figuring it out slowly. 1 week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive.

In a major attack on the First Amendment, the Biden Regime is now demanding Elon Musk explain why he gave journalists access to the “Twitter Files.”
Biden’s FTC retaliated against Elon Musk and demanded he provide the names of the journalists and other documents protected by the First Amendment.
The FTC wants to put Elon Musk under oath!
The Wall Street Journal reported:
The Federal Trade Commission has demanded Twitter Inc. turn over internal communications related to owner Elon Musk, as well as detailed information about layoffs—citing concerns that staff reductions could compromise the company’s ability to protect users, documents viewed by the Wall Street Journal show.
In 12 letters sent to Twitter and its lawyers since Mr. Musk’s Oct. 27 takeover, the FTC also asked the company to “identify all journalists” granted access to company records and to provide information about the launch of the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service, the documents show.
“This is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment,” journalist Michael Shellenberger said on Tuesday.
“I look forward to discussing this directly with members of Congress on Thursday morning,” Michael Shellenberger said.

Recall, Michael Shellenberger was one of the many journalists given access to the “Twitter Files.”
The “Twitter Files” exposed the government overreach and censorship of Americans.
The Twitter files exposed the state sponsored blacklists, exposed the far-left media, Big Pharma’s lobbying to shut down vaccine criticism, Covid lies, Russiagate lies, the Intelligence Community’s involvement and more.
How is the Biden Regime any different than the CCP?

Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told FOX Business host Stuart Varney on Monday that a (GOP) consultant offered to boost his finish in the CPAC straw poll last weekend for a few hundred-thousand dollars.
That did not sit well with Vivek.
Vivek Ramaswamy: I’m new to this as an outsider. One of the things you see as an outsider is how corrupt this system is. You know something funny about this? I’ve attended CPAC before. I didn’t know it works this way. A consultant calls my campaign shortly after I declare and says hey we can get you up to number two on there if you pay a few hundred thousand dollars.
Stuart Varney: Really?
Vivek Ramaswamy: I was shocked. You know what, there’s a lot of people who are making money not only off of me, but off of every presidential campaign. This will probably be not only the most expensive presidential campaign, the one that people in the industry, politics is an industry. People make so much money off of this that one of the things I’m going to be doing throughout this campaign is exposing it. I didn’t get to where I am by actually just getting exploited and I think the American people actually deserve to see the sausage getting made.
Stuart Varney: Did you pay?
Vivek Ramaswamy: Absolutely not. I mean that is fake. So why would I want to get bumped up too? I said I would take my speaking slot instead. And actually people can see that speech on my website, Vivek2024.
