This episode contains strong language.\n\nAfter a nearly yearlong investigation, the congressional committee examining the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will begin holding televised hearings on Thursday.\n\nOne focus of the hearings will be the Proud Boys. The trajectory of that group, which grew out of a drinking club in New York City for men who felt put upon by liberal culture, has now led to charges of trying to overthrow the United States government.\n\nGuest: Alan Feuer, a reporter covering courts and criminal justice for The New York Times.
