Coup That Finally Worked - How Mike Johnson Succeeded Where the Insurrection Failed - Thom Hartmann
House Speaker Mike Johnson, presumably on the orders of Donald Trump, has unconstitutionally shut down the House of Representatives for over a month. The result is that Trump can now do pretty much whatever he wants without restraint.
He’s effectively King of America, at least for the moment. No limits, no constraints, no oversight. It’s the coup that finally worked. - Aired on 10/29/2025.
