Welcome to the Dispatch Podcast. I'm Jamie Weinstein. My guest today is an old friend of sorts, the chief election and campaign correspondent for CBS News, Bob Costa. He is also the author of the book,

Parrel with Bob Woodward. And I brought Bob on today

and I wanted to bring him on ever since my interview

with Dan Krencha a few months ago.

We quoted it again last week, and I quote a section of it

at the beginning of this podcast on January 6th,

because Bob has covered that day extensively and the days before and after and I

wanted to bring him on to discuss what exactly happened to refresh people's

memory because it does seem like a lot of people are

forgetting what happened that day and what the goal was but we also talk about

the Trump campaign and the Trump trials things that Bob Costa also covers extensively.

I think you're going to find this podcast interesting and educational, as always, I hope so at

least.
