Rick begins the show with an article about an ax handle-wielding Capitol insurrectionist who was radicalized with US tax dollars. Then we are joined by Historian Kevin Gannon for a discussion on a number of issues, including the filibuster and what it’s doing to the will of the people, and to our ability to get what we voted for. Then the discussion turns back to the 1/6 insurrection, as we respond to Senate Republicans and their efforts to block the 1/6 Commission before it starts.
