Introduction to the Podcast
One of the most consistent lies Donald Trump tells about the January 6 insurrection is also one of the most esoteric: that all the evidence compiled by the House January 6 Committee was destroyed. It wasn’t, of course—the entirety of it is available for free to the public here—so why is Trump so invested in ensuring no voter ever reads it?
As a January 6 historian and the author of the fully sourced book Proof of Coup: How the Pentagon Shaped An Insurrection (Substack, 2022)—the fourth book in the New York Times-bestselling Proof Series—I can answer that question. I had to spend six months doing deep dives into January 6-related congressional testimony while writing Proof of Coup, so I know what’s in the testimony that Mr. Trump doesn’t want voters to know.
What I found in the testimony is horrifying beyond belief. Horrifying for two reasons: because it reveals that January 6 isn’t at all what we thought it was, and because major media has repeated Trump and his allies’ false claims that all congressional testimony about January 6 was destroyed—repeated it thousands of times, without comment—but has issued major breaking news reports on House January 6 Committee testimony that’s contained in transcripts rather than during live televised congressional hearings precisely never.
So sit back and listen to an unproofed, unedited NotebookLM podcast detailing what a series of critical figures inside the Trump administration—the importance of their congressional testimony having been curated by a January 6 historian—have to tell us about one of the darkest days in American history.
You can be certain that almost nothing in this podcast is anything you’ve heard before.
