What will one see on those 41,000 hours of Capital security videos Kevin McCarthy conveyed to Tucker Carlson?

We don’t know yet. But doing some math from the basic figures released by McCarthy one can begin to suspect something doesn’t add up.

First, let’s take the figure of 41,000 hours. If one person were to spend 24 hours reviewing those tapes it would take 1,708 days and eight hours. Does Tucker Carlson have that many staffers at his beck and call?

Lets assume he has 100 people reviewing the tapes. Having 100 people review the tapes is certainly a grievous national security error on the part of McCarty. After all these tapes are claimed to be from security cameras around the Capital and adjoining office building. Still we now have 100 people reviewing the 41,000 hours of videos. That means each person needs to spend 4,100 hours in front of their video machine. That would take them 170 days and 19 hours.

If the review of the 41,000 hours were conducted by 100 Faux Gnus staffers working 24 hours a day it won’t be completed until August 10, 2023. It would be nice if we could keep Tucker quiet until August 10, 2023.

Another figure which creates a little awe when one hears that there were 41,000 hours of video surveillance on January 6, 2021 is the number of cameras which would be needed to produce 41,000 hours. That’s a simple calculation which reveals that if the cameras ran for 24 hours over 3,415 cameras would be needed. Where were all these cameras pointed? How many buildings, stairways, parking garages and streets were under government surveillance? Again we are using a time element of 24 hours and why is McCarthy producing videos of those Capital areas beyond the approximately 10 hours during which the activities in question occurred?

How many days worth of videos were sent to Tucker? If the time during which the cameras were running is reduced how many cameras are viewing events around the Capital. We know the statement from the Office of Speaker McCarthy said 41,000 hours. What we don’t know is how stupid Mr. McCarthy and his staff are to ignore our belief in common sense. It is quite simple to understand that if there were 41,000 hours of video which were produced to a partisan hack like Tucker Carlson there are some dirty dealings, and with the cost of reproducing video footage, they ain’t done cheap.
