The Capitol insurrection seemed to catch most of the country off guard. But many people believed January 6th would be a violent day in Washington. They included conspiracy theorists, as well as security analysts…even one Texas teenager who tipped off the FBI after hearing his father’s plans to overturn the election.
But who are these people who would take up arms against a nation they say they want to save? What’s been the fallout for the insurrectionists, their families, and officers wounded that day? And could the riot have been blunted or stopped all together?
The hit podcast “Will be Wild” is a production of Pineapple Street Studios, Wondery, and Amazon Music. Ilya Marritz and Andrea Bernstein from “Trump Inc” introduce us to some of the people who planned - or tried to stop - the insurrection. Part current affairs, part cautionary tale - the podcast warns that January 6th wasn’t the end of the story; it was just a practice run.
OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WILL BE WILD" BEGIN AROUND MINUTE 39:00
