did they know that she had gone to washington on january 6th? they find out at the very end. it s not something she talked about very openly and in fact, the sister finds out really just the day or two before, that she had gone up there. but and they tried to tell her, don t go. and she had promised them if she went, she was just going to go to the rally, not march on to the capitol, and that is a big part of this mystery. how did she end up going from where the trump speech was into the march all the way up to the into the capitol on the steps on january 6th? and it s part of the unanswered questions that we set out to answer in the podcast series. i have one more question for you and you have to promise to come back every week. there s a new one every week. every thursday and sunday. i ll be back. so, how did having this connection to someone who died there change how you ve covered the events of the last 11 months? you know, that s a really good question. it s made i
hand-to-hand combat which is ho harry dunn described it in sworn testimony. we ve now seen lots of video compilations from the new york times and other news me organizations, the washington an incredible sort of tiktok but we ve never answered the fundamental question of why the maryland national guard didn t get in cars and go. i could have driven there from new york and be there faster. we never have answered the big question, miles, of why nobody responded to the fire. yeah. that s absolutely right. and there s nicole, there s n even bigger questions that we didn t talk about today. why was the secretary of et homeland security on an international overseas junket ov a day when we knew there was potentially going to be a high-impact homeland security event in the nation s capital? there s a lot of questions that need to be asked here and i think thiso be most recent repos shows us that we don t need sherlock holmes to know that this is leading down a bad direction, okay? if bo
and they did so on january 6th. then they lied about it and fried to cover it up. they tried to smear a good man to erase history. these are very, very, very serious accusations being cu leveled, and i guess i have the same question for you. the truth, as ben is saying, especially at the pentagon, is knowable. how do investigators, and is it is 1/6 committee, i think they re the most aggressive investigators at this point, how do they go about getting to this truth? well, ben took the words right out of my mouth and i ve got to agree with him and say, yes, this is a job for the t january 6th select committee and i think, based on this report, and other information out there in the public domain, is we are going to find that, at best, this was what they call in the military a cya exercise, these officers were trying to cover their butts. but at worst, this is a cover-up and we re not talking about people getting their hands caught in the cookie jar. this is about a siege at the capito
