Carlson obtained more than 40,000 hours of video footage from the riot after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy handed it over in February. Carlson began airing portions of the footage while he was still anchoring at Fox News.
Carlson sat down with actor Russell Brand on Friday and said he was "appalled" by the violence and vandalism seen on Jan. 6. He said the reason he "got involved in commenting on it" was because "the lying about it was immediate: ’This was a racist, white-supremacist insurrection.'"
"I interviewed the chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, in an interview that was never aired on Fox, by the way — I was fired before it could air, I’m gonna interview him again," Carlson said. "But Steven Sund was the totally non-political, worked for Nancy Pelosi, I mean, this was not some right-wing activist. He was the chief of Capitol Police on January 6, and he said, ’Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that crowd was filled with federal agents.’ What? ’Yes.’ Well he would know, of course, because he was in charge of security at the site."
