Even a year later, most Americans cannot agree on what to call the events that took place on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol.

Host Steve Clemons speaks with Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro, who barricaded himself in his office on that day, and Republican strategist John Feehery about the lasting effects of January 6.
