| 0:00.0 | Hello, Trump Inc listeners. It's Andrea Bernstein. I am so excited to be talking to you now and to tell you about the new podcast |
| 0:08.3 | Ilyam Erritson I made. It's called Will Be Wild. We named it after that Trump tweet about January 6th. Be there. We'll be wild. |
| 0:17.5 | So on January 6th, we were putting together the final episode of Trump Inc. |
| 0:22.5 | And we were actually editing it when our phone started buzzing and our Twitter feeds started filling with these images of rioters storming the Capitol. |
| 0:31.5 | At that time, that last episode of Trump Inc. was a time capsule. So you wouldn't forget all of the mind-boggling, norm-busting things Trump did while he was president. |
| 0:41.5 | We called that episode and now the end is near. |
| 0:45.5 | But we were wrong. And so as 2021 wore on and the opposition to holding Trump to account grew, Ilyam and I realized something. There was still work to be done. |
| 0:58.5 | So we did what we do. We read the documents. We listened to the hearings. And then something new started to happen. Trump administration officials started talking to us, started speaking to us on the record on tape telling their stories. |
| 1:11.5 | The result is Will Be Wild, which is a podcast about the people who tried to stop January 6th from happening and the people who participated. |
| 1:20.5 | It's also about the victims who were caught off guard and the people who saw it coming for years. And about people who know that January 6th was the beginning of something, not the end. Ilyam and I really think you guys are going to like this. |
| 1:38.5 | And now I'm going to play you the trailer. |
| 1:42.5 | On January 6th, thousands descended on the Capitol at President Trump's urging. |
| 1:49.5 | Be there, he tweeted, Will Be Wild. |
| 1:55.5 | What happened that day is so much bigger than Trump. |
| 2:04.5 | I'm Andrea Bernstein. |
| 2:11.5 | And I'm Ilyam Errits. From Pineapple Street Studios, Wondery and Amazon Music, this is Will Be Wild, a podcast about January 6th. |
| 2:21.5 | But it's not a recap of the news you hear every day. It's a deeper look into the forces that led to an insurrection and the fight to save democracy before it's too late. |
| 2:31.5 | It's about the people who were there that day. |
| 2:34.5 | Yeah, we're one block away from the Capitol now. I'm probably going to go silent when I get there because I'm going to be a little busy. |
| 2:39.5 | We'll see you soon, Jess. Airborne. |
| 2:42.5 | The people who saw it coming. |
| 2:44.5 | We're not saying we think that when the President speaks, people do violent things. We're saying the evidence shows that it happens. |
