Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about why the GOP is facing division that seems unprecedented.

0:12.0

We're going to do this because we got a message from our guys at the metal shop.

Hey, it's us again. The right-wingers have a question, and I tried to answer it using the

0:23.8

bus analogy. But either I didn't do a good job, or it's just so far outside the way they
