0:00.0	My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage.
0:07.0	Freedom! Freedom! Freedom Freedom.
0:23.7	Freedom.
0:33.8	My daughter announced earlier this week that she is the best hiker in the world.
0:37.9	Now, for all you trail junkies out there, I'm sorry to tell you that my three-year-old daughter has already claimed the top hiking title for herself. We had just finished a short
0:44.3	trail in North Georgia. And at the top of the trail, there was an overlook. The wind was whipping,

2:07.8	you are about to master information better than you ever thought possible.
2:14.4	Today I am going to tell you exactly how both candidates will use logical fallacies against you tonight to attack each other, to lie to your face, and to try to win your vote.
2:27.0	We are taught to believe that presidential debates are a chance for us to hear competing candidates answer important questions that matter to all
