What if another January 6th happened, only worse?
On this episode of The Middle, we explore the subject of a new documentary film called "War Game." The filmmakers, along with the Vet Voice Foundation, gathered former military and political leaders from the last five presidential administrations together to simulate another January 6th-style event, only much worse, because there’s a split in loyalty within the military. The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where Jeremy Hobson interviewed many people involved in the film: directors Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber, Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of the Vet Voice Foundation, former Montana Governor Steve Bullock, former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp, Army Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Alexander Vindman, former Trump Administration Department of Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Neumann, Major General (Ret.) Linda Singh, and Marine Corps Veteran and investigative journalist Chris Jones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
