From WNYC Studios, it's Brian Lair, a daily politics podcast. It's Wednesday, July 13th.

Here's one revelation from yesterday's January 6th committee hearing. President Donald Trump

planned to tell the crowd at his January 6th committee hearing, President Donald Trump planned to tell the crowd at

his January 6th rally to march to the Capitol. But he and his advisors concealed that fact from the

public and never got a permit for the march. Why conceal the planned march? We'll explore that in a

minute. But here's another revelation from

yesterday's hearing, very related. On the night of January 6th, after the riot, Trump's

former campaign manager, Brad Parzcal, and Trump advisor Katrina Pearson, who helped organize

January 6th, had an exchange of text messages in which Pascal wrote,

A sitting president calling for civil war.

This week I feel guilty for helping him win.

He helped him win in 2016.

Pearson replied,

You did what you felt at the time.

Therefore it was right.

Pascal wrote,

If I was Trump and knew my rhetoric killed someone,

Pearson disagreed, writing,

Parcale replied, Katrina,

yes, it was.

That's dramatic, right?
