This was a good show, and it surprises me not at all why the Dems did NOT want the public to see them, or why they so carefully selected and de-selected members for their dog and pony show.
1. Showing Josh Hawley running down the hall in front of the audience - VERY TIGHTLY edited so as not to show that he was the last of a couple dozen members doing the exact same thing. The audience of partisans, not surprisingly, laugh out loud at the two second clip, because they wouldn't think to question - that they're being duped.
2. The QAnon shaman bit - THAT surprised me. Tucker went on to mention something I didn't know - pretty much at no time was he ever NOT escorted by Capitol Police. They were walking him about, as though they were his official tour guides. No fights, no arrests - just walking him and following him around.
3. I admit I never bothered to read much about Ray Epps, except old articles that seemed to have taken a John Galt tenor - as in, who the hell is Ray Epps? Well, whomever he is - a planted agitator? - he evidently spends all his time goading others to enter, while not entering the building himself. I presume, somehow to avoid arrest.
4. The member presumably "giving instruction" to the "insurrectionists"? Wasn't even from the Capitol. Worse - the committee and persons promoting the narrative - KNEW THIS. Translation: They were lying.
5. Tucker mentioned something that - now that you think about it - makes a bit more sense. A lot of the crowd video has no sound - but that didn't stop the Dems from ADDING some crowd sound for effect. When you watch it and listen - they don't make sense. You'll hear things like sounds that sound distant, but nothing up close, like a real crowd would sound. So that checks.
6. There's thousands of hours of tape. Why so much? Most of it is basically - blank. As in, a camera was on a room that no one went into. Wow.
7. Most of what I saw is 100% consistent with what I've read and seen elsewhere. While people smashed in windows and committed acts of vandalism, once inside, MOST of the interaction looked more like sightseers rather than bloodthirsty crowds. People taking selfies, wandering about, cops showing them where stuff was, following the police through the Capitol, carefully staying within the velvet rope area. NOT bedlam and chaos.

Look, I still think they shouldn't have lifted one finger against a Capitol cop or broke a single window - the beauty of the protests of Ghandi and MLK Jr, is they were so peaceful that their opponents had to be ashamed. We do however, have a problem with press here, who report burning buildings and cars, and smashing storefronts are "not violent" because no one was killed, but call a crowd "armed" because someone was attacked with a flagpole.
I DO THINK that when you argue with someone and must resort to profanity, insults and vulgar remarks, you have 100% conceded. You've lost. That goes for here. Sure, it's funny sometimes, but if you can't make your point with simple words, logic and evidence, the other stuff is what people who don't HAVE any logic or evidence turn to. DITTO violence. It's the adult version of tantrums.
