0:00.0 | Another day, another existential threat to our democracy. |
0:06.0 | I heard about this new threat yesterday, and when I checked to see where the threat was coming from, |
0:12.2 | I learned that just like in every great horror movie, this time, the threat was coming from inside the house. |
0:23.0 | If you go to Facebook on a daily basis, the most, the posts with the most engagement are from Dan Shapiro, |
0:29.0 | our Ben Shapiro, Dan Bansino, Candace Owens, it is a right-wing content. |
0:33.0 | Dwarfs, progressive content, and Dwarfs mainstream media content, which is actually the part that scares us the most, |

1:35.0 | He's complaining because we are popular and he and the rest of the Libs, despite controlling every major institution in the country, are not popular. |
1:45.0 | And he's insinuating that to preserve our democracy, our popular platform needs to be suppressed, |
