Episode Synopsis

The riots and storming of the Capitol building by President Donald Trump's extreme supporters captured the nation’s attention and it is on the forethought of everyone’s minds as President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration draws near.   Security expert and former Orlando Police Department Capt. Joe Robinson shares his thoughts on what happened at the Capitol, why law enforcement reacted the way it did, and what he calls an imbalance of reactions between the Capitol and city riots that happened earlier in the year.      Plus, he will share how his life lessons helped him when he was kidnapped in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for 10 days back in 2006.
