0:00.0 | Many people have referred to what's going on right now with impeachment as a coup. |
0:04.6 | In a town hall meeting, a moderate Democrat talked about joining the side of impeachment, |
0:10.3 | and one of her constituents said you are joining a coup against our president. |
0:14.9 | In this article written by Matt Taibi, a very well-respected journalist contributing editor to |
0:20.3 | Rolling Stone at a well-known political reporter, says, we're in a permanent coup. |
0:26.0 | Americans might soon wish they just waited to vote their way out of the Trump era. |
0:30.7 | The article is actually fascinating and quite terrifying. |
0:33.8 | Matt Taibi explains how the similarities between the actual coups he's experienced |

1:16.4 | he's talking about civil war, and I really do mean this, and I'll give you the point straight up. |
1:20.4 | I'm not going to wait. When he goes on and says that there are key officials arguing that certain |
1:26.2 | people should be arrested, and that media companies are hiring former intelligence officials to |
1:30.8 | make claims and accusations against the president to try and remove him, and this cycle continues with |
1:35.0 | Russia gate to Ukraine gate, Ukraine gate. He talks about how at some point somebody makes a phone |
