0:00.0 | I remember the good old days, Donald Trump's first term, when basically every day I was making a video titled, Democrats panic. |
0:09.5 | Because I want to make sure you understand why I use the phrase panic. |
0:13.6 | Because it implies irrationality. |
0:16.5 | It is not sounding the alarm. |
0:19.0 | It is not expressing fear or disgust. |
