Republicans slam Tucker Carlson over January 6 report

Republicans slam Tucker Carlson after the Fox News host aired previously unseen Capitol riot footage

Tucker Carlson is in the firing line after the Fox News host aired previously unseen footage of the January 6 Capitol riot.

Carlson showed the video on his Monday night show, arguing it “does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress”, but rather “mostly peaceful chaos”.

Top congressional Republican, Kevin McCarthy gave the show exclusive access to the footage, but other GOP lawmakers say the Fox host mischaracterised the raid on Congress.

The conservative news channel, owned by Rupert Murdoch, has long insisted other media outlets exaggerated the violence at the Capitol on 6 January.

On this day, Trump supporters stormed the legislative complex as Joe Biden’s presidential victory was being certified.

Carlson also suggested, without evidence, that government agents could have instigated the riot.

As the 45-minute segment continue, Carlson says the video shows that while a minority of protesters did commit violence, most were “sightseers”.

Criticism of the segment has come from both sides of the aisle in Washington as well as the head of the Capitol police, and the family of a police officer whose death was mentioned in the show.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell believes it was a “mistake” for Fox News to depict the incident in this way.

This prompted House Speaker McCarthy to hit back at McConnell and defend Tucker Carlson’s report.

Around 1,000 people have been arrested so far in connection with the riot, most of them charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Fox News needs to reprimand Carlson.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
