Days leading up to the maga invasion at the capital. The basis of the president s second Impeachment Trial starting next week. The genesis of the siege, revealing it wasnt an up rising but a coordinated campaign by the former president and his allies. That was rooted in a lie that was so convincing to some of his most devoted followers it made the assault on the capitol almost inevitable. And a growing list of people and organizations involved in planning, promoting and financing the rallies that precipitated the insurrection. Alex jones, ali alexander, the pilly gee, mike lindell, and people who have been in the Republican Party, and establishment groups like the republican attorneys general association. The heiress to the publix supermarket fortune. Her money paid for the lions share of the 500,000 at the ellipse where the former president spoke.

Activist and traveling around the world and really is about your journey about trying to figure out why young men sort of get attracted to violence and get radicalized. I just found it fascinating. Congratulations. Thank you very much. I guess i start off with this. What was the impetus to this book. If you could sort of tell me about this. I was like most of the rest of the world, i observed this massive attack in paris in 2015, was organized by a few young men who had grown up in europe, mostly in belgium and france.

support of ohio republican senate candidate one j.d. vance. at one point, trump spoke over a song that was all but identical to an anthem of the qanon movement. attendees responded, this is real, guys, that picture s real. they responded with that one finger salute you see on your screen. new york times reports this, quote, it was the first time in the memory of some trump aides that such a display had occurred at one of his rallies. the song played at the rally was a song called mirrors and it was selected for use at a video trump paid at the cpac meeting and posted on his social media site truth social. but it also sounded striingly like the qanon theme song. regardless of what song was played, adherence of the qanon conspiracy understood what was happening and loud and clear. for those looped into qanon, the odds of missing trump s apparent outreach are about nil, particularly given that its aims and trump s are in sync, returning him to power. a year s long flirtation
