Summary
We are in what is called the Cold Civil War. The partisan divide has been growing steadily since the beginning of the decade and we can now actually see just how bad it is based on Pew Research data. Carl Bernstein said we are looking at the great battles of the cold civil war. Historical moments that will be looked back upon. But did this really begin with president Donald Trump? Will it end if the democrats win? Or will our country continue down an authoritarian path regardless of who is in power?

| 0:00.0 | Yesterday for over nine hours I believe, we sat through the Kavanaugh hearings. A lot of people |
| 0:05.3 | are insulting Brett Kavanaugh saying that he was whiny, ill-tempered, they're attacking his |
| 0:09.5 | character. Many people are saying Christine Blassey Ford is a liar, but you do have people on the left |
| 0:13.9 | saying, Ford is a hero and she was composed, and if people on the right saying Kavanaugh was passionate |
| 0:19.2 | and it was sad to see, you know, the anger in him and the sadness from being smeared in this way. |
| 0:25.2 | My Twitter is pretty fairly balanced between left and right, and I noticed that |
| 0:29.2 | we really are living in different realities. I made a lot of videos talking about Civil War 2.0 and |

| 0:44.0 | Civil War. We actually have data from, I believe it's from Pew Internet research that shows just how |

| 1:07.3 | into consideration. Legendary reporter Carl Bernstein told CNN's New Day Monday that the current |
| 1:12.6 | battles over Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein accused of conspiring against the president |
| 1:17.0 | and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh accused by multiple women of sexual assault, |
| 1:21.2 | show the US is in a cold Civil War with the truth as a primary casualty. |
| 1:25.7 | Asked by co-host, Alison Camarota, how anyone could discern the truth about Kavanaugh |
