Hey y’all -
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since the United States Capitol was defaced by a mob of red-hatted rioters spurred on by the outgoing president.
We at The Bulwark were sounding the alarm in the weeks and months before the attack. We understood the nature of the threat and refused to put our heads in the sand and hope one day it would just disappear. Our democracy is too important for “humoring” the arsonists or idle wishcasting.
So, to mark this anniversary, we wanted to provide you all with some special insight into the events of January 6th.
Tom Joscelyn is a friend of The Bulwark and was one of the key authors of the January 6th Select Committee Report. He sat down with Bill Kristol for a special edition of our Ballot Box YouTube program to provide a penetrating insight into how it happened.

One special request—if you have not yet subscribed to our YouTube channel, take a moment to do so now here—it’s free. And please share this interview with anyone who might benefit from Tom’s perspective.
Until election day, Bill and I will be providing political analysis every Tuesday with Ballot Box on The Bulwark’s YouTube channel (YouTube.com/@bulwarkmedia) and I am also dropping bonus takes between shows as the news demands. We’re doing this exclusively on YouTube because this platform allows us to significantly expand the reach of our work which advances the mission that we all share.
We’re able to beef up our programming on YouTube because of the support of our paid Bulwark+ members. If you’d like to see more of this kind of content reach new audiences, become a Bulwark+ member today.
Enjoy the conversation!
