Host Carol Castiel talks with John Fortier, Senior resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and Jim Kessler, Vice President for Policy at Third Way about former President Donald Trump’s role in fomenting the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, which threatened to subvert the peaceful transfer of power. They discuss the cumulative impact of the public hearings on the topic including the most recent one in which former White House aides Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews testify about ex-President Trump’s behavior on January 6, 2021, the day a violent mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol and called for hanging then-Vice President Mike Pence. All this, along with President Joe Biden’s sagging poll numbers, legislative and executive actions, and prospects for the November midterm elections.
