The Daily Signal - The Other Side of J6: ‘Capitol Punishment’ Movie Tells Stories You Won’t Hear From Congress

During the month of June, lawmakers in Washington plan to hold six public hearings on the events that took place on January 6. Two of them are even scheduled during primetime TV in an effort by Democrats to maximize their attempt to frame what happened that day at the U.S. Capitol.

But there’s another side to the story that you won’t hear from the likes of Reps. Bennie Thompson, Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, or other members of the House select committee. They determined long ago who to blame and what narrative to tell.

Now, thanks to a new documentary called “Capitol Punishment,” Americans are able to hear stories from the people who were there on January 6—in their own words and the ordeals they’ve faced since that day.

Joining "The Daily Signal Podcast" are two people who made the movie—actor Nick Searcy and director Chris Burgard.

The movie is available to watch at givemelibertynow.org and capitolpunishmentthemovie.com.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Reporting on Guns from Texas

Following the shooting in Uvalde, we talked to a Texas reporter who has covered mass shootings for five years. The Lone Star state remains a GOP strong-hold, which means Texas Republicans tailor their messaging and legislation to avoid being primaried from the right. This impacts how gun laws are written and how mental health is instead elevated, leaving both underserved.


Guest: Lauren McGaughy, investigative reporter, the Dallas Morning News.

Short Wave - Telehealth Abortions Are Changing The Culture Of Medicine

Recent rule changes have increased access to abortion pills through the mail, using telehealth services. As many U.S. states gear up to restrict abortion access in anticipation of the Supreme Court possibly overturning Roe v. Wade, the medical professionals behind these services are preparing for an even bigger surge in demand. Groups that provide abortion pills are also preparing to face significant new obstacles, as anti-abortion states push back against expanded online access. Both patients and clinicians are testing the boundaries of this service that is fully legal in many states — but operates in a legal gray area in others.

Opening Arguments - OA600: Why Police Don’t Have To Do Their Jobs

In the wake of the pathetic police response to the Uvalde shooting, you have likely come across posts and memes talking about how police don't actually have any obligation to protect you or really do anything.

We asked our patrons what terms/phrases/references/inside jokes they wanted us to explain, and we've got a fun list of 20! It's a fun stroll down memory lane as we talk the oranges of motions in lemonade, clownhorning, Konrad Michaels, and more!
