Two Minutes Past Nine is a podcast hosted by Leah Sottile and produced by BBC Radio 4.
Background
The podcast tries to explain the ideology of Timothy McVeigh, who was responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Sottile argues that the bombing was deeply rooted in bigotry and anti-government convictions inspired by figures going as far back as John Wilkes Booth and more recent figures such as William Luther Pierce. The podcast discusses various people who believe that there will be a race war and that the government is attempting to take their guns. Sottile draws a connection between McVeigh, the Proud Boys, and the January 6 United States Capitol attack.
