| 0:00.0 | So when he sends out 28 million ballots and they're in all the mailboxes and kids go and they |
| 0:07.6 | raid the mailboxes and they hand them to people that are signing the ballots down the end of the |
| 0:11.6 | street, which is happening. |
| 0:14.0 | But I think we've been pretty clear on what I think the right approach is, which is that I don't |
| 0:20.4 | think that Facebook or internet platforms |
| 0:23.8 | in general should be arbiters of truth. I think that's a kind of a dangerous line to get down to |
| 0:29.9 | in terms of deciding what is true and what isn't. One egregious example is when they try to silence views that they disagree with by |
| 0:41.1 | selectively applying a fact check, fact check, F-A-C-T fact check. |
| 0:48.1 | Hey everybody. |

There's some hard truths coming. Some hard looks in the mirror, Nick. There are. I mean, what do we want to start here? Because I am, mad. I'm a little hot today, I feel like, and I'm ready to go. So where should we start? |
| 1:46.5 | Hello. |
| 1:47.1 | Let's start with just a total complete bullshit executive order. |
| 1:54.7 | That for those who, I assume you're caught up on the news, you're hearing this on Friday. |
