From WNYC Studios, it's Brian Lair, a daily politics podcast.

It's Friday, July 22nd.

So the big takeaway from the prime time hearing of the January 6th committee last night, for me, was really very

simple and very well documented, that Donald Trump knew full well that there was a riot at the

Capitol that day and that Mike Pence and others were in mortal danger, that people close to Trump

from Jared and Ivanka to Sean Hannity and Laura Ingram, to Kevin McCarthy,

asked him to call it off, and that he didn't just fail to do so. They made a big point of this.

He didn't just fail to do so. He actively poured gasoline on the fire, knowing full well what was

going on. And there was evidence that was shared last night for that.

So we will replay some of the most dramatic and factually important clips from last night,

and we'll start with something that was both very dramatic and new to me and new to the general

public. This is the actual radio traffic like walkie-talkie communication

among members of Mike Pence's secret service detail who were afraid for their lives and his

at a crucial moment after the Capitol was breached. Now you won't make out every word in this,

but you'll get the idea that they thought they might be trapped.

Hold.

Hold.

Hold.

If we're moving, we need to move now.

Happy.

If we lose any more time, we may have, we may lose the ability to leave so if we're going to leave we

need to do it now they've gained access to the second floor and I've got public
