election. they were rid did i calling them and making fun of them behind the scenes and they went on tv and were spreading the lies and they are spreading the lies again. it is scandalous and dangerous and i m glad there are republicans standing up. they do understand this is the beginning of the donald trump, you know, for president campaign because there s no way trump can get elected if people really reckon with the role that he had in inciting a violent insurrection against our constitution. you know, i wasn t aware that the fbi did false flag operations that were also benign tourism and tucker carlson has said both things. in the 26 months since the attack about 1,000 people have been arrested. about 1/3 of the defendants in these capital cases have been charged with assaulting or impeding the defendant. about 518 individuals have
so what we show, actual product. we managed it, we made sure it was secure and so the process that the committee used is one that even tucker carlson shouldn t be able to misidentify or mischaracterize, but unfortunately he is. and i will note, again, this was a bipartisan commission, no less than liz cheney sat on this committee. she is not even a moderate republican, she s a conservative republican, so is adam kinzinger. i want to read to you, chairman thompson, what speaker kevin mccarthy said regarding giving that footage only to tucker carlson. he says he does not regret the decision to release footage of the january 6th riot to tucker carlson adding it was done in the name of transparency. what do you make of that?
is also a favorite of vladimir putin s kremlin, that giving him this footage will actually put the capitol at risk. the future january 6th when we have to certify the next election. well, there s no question it puts everyone in the capitol, the visitors, the members of congress, the employees, everyone. as you know as a visitor to the capitol, it s a fairly secure facility. but there are also some things in that building that we need to keep secret. now with tucker carlson having unfettered access to that information, it clearly puts every individual there at risk.
good evening, everyone. we begin the reid out with breaking news. the newest filing in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit from dominion voting systems against fox has just been released. we are still combing through it but the more than 1,000 page filing already provides additional evidence that points to fox s intentional disregard for the truth as it continued to spread donald trump s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen. and from the very top we have fox corporation chairman rupert mourdock admitting that fox hosts actually endorsed it skk, quote, was it wrong for fox hosts to endorse these lies? rub per the mourdock replied, quote, if they knew they were lies, yes. if they knew they were lies. and the filing does show that some of those hosts knew they were lies. in one of tucker carlson s private texts an unknown individual asks him, do you think there s real evidence of
all i know is that they were yeah, there were a lot of people in the capitol at the time who i think were in fear of their lives. i don t know how you want to describe it, but it was an attack on the capitol. i didn t listen to tucker carlson, i generally don t, but my recollection of the day is that it was not just some rowdy peaceful protests of boy scouts breaking through glass windows and doors to get into the united states capitol against orders of police as a crime. tucker carlson s rendition of what happened during the january 6th capitol attack is so messed up even republicans are calling him out for it. the joining me now are congressman bennie thompson and jamie raskin. congressman thompson served as
