with planes. i hope i shared the [ bleep ] out of you. with me adam, staff writer for the atlantic. his recent piece looked at ways the attempted coup unfolded and are now public. also cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley. thanks both of you for joining us. on this show we have tried to cover this pretty much every weekend. this threat to democracy, the concerns about future elections, and, adam, that was very stark comparison bill maher made between undermining an election and 9/11. is that fair, that prediction, do you think? i mean, you don t need to reach into you don t need to go to al qaeda to find examples of democratic elections being overthrown in the united states. we have precedents for this in the american south after reconstruction with the violent overthrow of the reconstruction governments by democrats and their paramilitary allies. so, you know, this is not
