What Really Was J6?

At 29:21 · chapter starts 19:48

Tucker introduces Steve Baker, a journalist who was at the Capitol on January 6th, filmed the entire time with a press credential, and was later prosecuted for it. Baker opens with a crucial framing: he witnessed both bad and good actions that day, on both sides of the police line. He claims to have reviewed more J6 footage than any other journalist, working with teams to examine the most important portions of the roughly 41,000 hours of Capitol CCTV. He corrects two persistent myths: the right's claim that police waved people in (not true until after the breach) and the left's certainty that they understand what happened (they only saw a narrow battle scene repeated endlessly). His core thesis: January 6th was a setup designed and manipulated by elements of the Department of Defense, Capitol Police, and CIA to permanently remove Trump from politics — with the FBI brought in only later to protect the broader system.
