As President Trump faces an impeachment inquiry his rhetoric is becoming more extreme, using words like "coup" and "civil war."

Meanwhile, an upcoming Supreme Court case could decide whether Title VII employment protections apply to gay and transgender individuals. Plus, why funk music is making a resurgence in mainstream pop songs. Sam is joined by NPR national correspondents Leila Fadel and Kirk Siegler.
