But what we do know is that there are two very different stories being told about that day. On one side are Liz Cheney, Bennie Thompson, and dozens of Capitol Police officers, not to mention the millions of American citizens who are determined to remember that day for the violent attempt to subvert democracy that it was.

On the other side, Trump, hundreds of January 6 prisoners, and probably millions of American citizens who don't know or care enough about that day to think it disqualified Trump from being elected. On many, many things, these two sides are far apart. But the people who inhabit those two sides, they're just people. And people can always find something in common.

The series takes you inside the jail, that supposed hellhole Trump mentions. And in a later episode, we talk to some of those January 6 prisoners who Trump wants to pardon, and we think seriously about how the justice system has treated them.

It wasn't until we started telling other people the story and they reacted that it began to feel like maybe we had discovered something.

Lauren notices every new or different thing in the neighborhood, and this car was definitely different. As we walked past it, Lauren said what she always said when we saw this car. There's that fucking militiamobile again.
