“First of all, just so you all know, you don't have to worry about waiting 30 minutes. It is not going to be that long. I would like to talk about some issues tonight that I don't feel have been adequately addressed in this forum. The press--not the people back home, but the press--keeps trying to make a big deal out of January 6. When I go home, as I am sure for all of my colleagues who go home, 80 percent of the comments deal with inflation, insofar as other things are being dealt with. It is not January 6. Nevertheless, there is something that bothers me. Since we are apparently going to have these hearings on January 6, everything ought to be able to come out. If I was on that committee, the first thing I would ask is for all the video from the Capitol that day to be released. It seems to me if people genuinely want to know what is going on, that is where I would start. Therefore, on last October 5, myself, Congressman Norman, and Congressman Gohmert asked for all the video from the Capitol to be released that day. It doesn't seem that much of a difficult request. There were many people still being held in jail, and the press kept trying to rile up the population and let them believe something horrible had happened. I received inquiries from both Republican and Democrat constituents who felt it would be a good idea if we released the video of what was going on that day.…”
