Devon takes over Between 2 Guns and turns the tables on Brent Tucker in a way no amount of Delta Force or Green Beret training could prepare him for.

This episode flips the format with sharp questions, unexpected turns, and a reminder that the most dangerous interrogator is the one who knows you too well.

It has been five years since January 6, a day some politicians have labeled the darkest moment in modern American history.

In this episode of the Tier1 Podcast, Brent Tucker examines what has been learned since that day and takes a clear eyed look at what actually happened on January 6. The discussion separates narrative from fact, breaks down how the term “insurrection” became widely used, and explores the political, legal, and media forces that shaped public perception.

This episode covers constitutional authority, political accountability, media framing, and the long term consequences of how major events are portrayed and remembered. It is an in depth discussion focused on evidence, context, and critical analysis rather than headlines.
