Michael Madigan really has left the building, as he’s not running for re-election as committeeman. Ben riffs. And cinematographer Michael Crommett talks about filming the January 6 insurrection. Michael was there that day. First at Trump’s rally. And later on the steps of the Capitol, where he filmed the siege. He was the cinematographer for Unprecedented, Alex Holder’s documentary about Trump’s re-election campaign. His January 6 footage is featured in that film. Also, check out Ben’s conversation with Alex Holder.
