Episode notes

The oath keepers are in communication throughout the day as a group of them go into the capital and clash with law enforcement. The republicans have developed a counter narrative based on misinformation about january sixth to minimize or deny the role of groups like the oath keepers in it. It's either president trump is encouraged and bolsterd strengthened to do what he must do, or we want up in a bloody fight. We all know that the fight's coming.

Extremists in the right-wing militant organization known as the Oath Keepers are present in law enforcement and in the military. Now, thanks to reporting from ProPublica’s Isaac Arnsdorf, we know they’re in the government, too.

Today’s show was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
