James and Al are joined by author and Atlantic columnist Barton Gellman for a hard look at the threats to our democracy posed by the events of 1/6.  Is there a need for infiltration by law enforcement?  Why are politicians on the Right catering to the worst elements of the base?  And how do Democrats protect our system and keep winning?
