| 0:00.0 | When I think about January 6th, I don't really think necessarily just about the people who entered the Capitol. |
| 0:06.0 | The bigger problem for us as a society is the lie that led people into the Capitol and what's happened to it since. |
| 0:17.0 | Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for political eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta and I'm Corey Brought. |
| 0:22.4 | Well, Corey, we have big news today. We have a new third co-host, Ricky Schlaught. Ricky, welcome to the show. Thanks so much for having me. I'm excited to be here. Well, Ricky comes to us from the New York Post where she's a writer and also at Reason Magazine. She's also a fellow at the foundation for individual rights and education. |
| 0:38.7 | And, you know, our show is the lost debate. |

| 1:29.6 | Is his statement accurate or a little misleading? Classes are canceled yet again in the city of |
| 1:34.4 | Chicago. When will school closures in? But first things first, today is the anniversary of January 6th. |
| 1:40.2 | So let's just discuss where we are a year later after that horrible event. |
| 1:44.5 | I think the first thing is to really clear up what exactly happened that day. |
| 1:48.7 | I mean, Ted Cruz just called it a terrorist attack. |
