Uh, here's some more news, though. Everybody's a fascist but me. Wait, how dare you? No, you're the fascist.

0:14.7

Well, why, I oughta. It is you who is the thing I said about you. Anyway, that's the news.

0:22.0

But some more specifically news. During a time of ineffective liberal governance and a growing

1:37.8

Yes. It's an oft-debated word, fascism, to the point that to some people, it just means
