Hey, this is OTM correspondent Michael Linger.

Our team this week has been glued to the January 6 select committee's hearings.

On Monday, the focus was the big lie and the selling thereof.

Historians tell us that the seeds of the January 6 insurrection were sown well before the

a different future, all those things and more supercharged by a far right media machine.

The previous president just normalized fear and loathing while as we've heard in this

week's hearings, profiting mightily.

It's my honor to introduce a man who was the genesis in any ways of this second American

revolution.

6.

He had a crisis field in the election in front of everyone.

be.

Alex Jones also helped plan and finance the stop the steel rally that preceded the insurrection,

though he's yet to be charged.
