0:00.0 | Over the past couple of weeks, moderate Democrats have faced backlash and protest over their |
0:04.5 | support for impeaching Donald Trump. Seems that many people were expecting a focus on policy |
0:09.2 | issues and bridging the divide not making the divide worse. But now we have a word of encouragement |
0:14.8 | from Democrats. Because according to an internal polling memo, they're telling moderate |
0:18.8 | Democrats they are more likely to get a vote if they support impeachment than if they don't. |
0:24.3 | But I believe this is a huge mistake. First, we can't necessarily just go off this one memo. |
0:30.1 | Because we have a memo from the Republicans saying exactly the opposite. But there is still a good |

1:23.9 | because the far left is not going to support a moderate. |
1:27.8 | Well, let's read the news and get started and we'll break this down starting with the memo. |

1:41.6 | I'm competing with CNN, MSNBC Fox News, and other YouTubers. So if you think I do a good job, |
