\/>\n7:06<br \/>\nI went to Valley Forge and I said the<br \/>\n7:09<br \/>\nmost urgent question of our time is<br \/>\n7:12<br \/>\nwhether democracy is still is still the<br \/>\n7:15<br \/>\nsacred cause of<br \/>\n7:17<br \/>\nAmerica that is the question the<br \/>\n7:20<br \/>\nAmerican people must answer this year<br \/>\n7:23<br \/>\nand you the prefess play a critical role<br \/>\n7:25<br \/>\nin making sure the American people have<br \/>\n7:27<br \/>\nthe information they need to make an<br \/>\n7:28<br \/>\ninformed<br \/>\n7:30<br \/>\ndecision a defeated former president has<br \/>\n7:32<br \/>\nmade no secret of his attack on our<br \/>\n7:34<br \/>\ndemocracy he said he wants to be a<br \/>\n7:36<br \/>\ndictator on day one and so much more he<br \/>\n7:40<br \/>\ntells supporters he is their revenge and<br \/>\n7:43<br \/>\nretribution when in God&#8217;s name you ever<br \/>\n7:45<br \/>\nheard of another president say something<br \/>\n7:47<br \/>\nlike that and he promised a bloodbath<br \/>\n7:50<br \/>\nwhen he loses again we have to take this<br \/>\n7:54<br \/>\nseriously eight years ago you could have<br \/>\n7:57<br

\/>\n8:15<br \/>\ndistractions the sides shows that have<br \/>\n8:18<br \/>\ncome to dominate sensiz our<br \/>\n8:20<br \/>\nsensationalize our<br \/>\n8:21<br \/>\npolitics and focus on what&#8217;s actually at<br \/>\n8:23<br \/>\nstake and I think in your hearts you<br \/>\n8:25<br \/>\nknow it it was at stake the stakes<br \/>\n8:27<br \/>\ncouldn&#8217;t be<br \/>\n8:28<br
