"The Democratic Party...has been too risk-averse and too finger-wagging," says YouTube host @adammockler.com.
"We have candidates that are running that won't even go on mainstream podcasts because they're a little bit too nervous to misstep."
“Republicans view immigrants in a fundamentally different way than they view everybody else,” argues @adammockler.com. “You guys view immigrants as net drains on the society, but that is not borne out.”
“The American people have been abused by the legal immigration system,” says Natalie Winters.
How do you hold digital influencers accountable for lies and misinformation?
"I quote-tweet them and I make sure that I push back," says @adammockler.com.
But Natalie Winters takes a different approach: “If they're lying, don't consume or share their stuff…You don’t have to feed the beast.”
"I don't say I'm an unbiased person on the ground reporting the truth," says YouTube host @adammockler.com.
Natalie Winters acknowledges her biases too, but she insists Bannon's War Room is not "regime puppets for President Trump."

Is the Trump administration using immigration policies to make America whiter?
Natalie Winters of Bannon’s War Room says that's “absolutely absurd.”
But YouTube host @adammockler.com disagrees: “This administration is absolutely looking at immigration through a racial lens.”
The founders wanted citizens to understand the Constitution “inside and out” so they could defend their rights against tyranny, says @profmmurray.bsky.social.
“And right now, I'm not sure that's the citizenry that we have,” says Murray.
FRIDAY @pbs.org
Why are audiences drawn to new media outlets like Bannon's War Room and @meidastouch.com?
"We cover the issues that I think for so long legacy media has just routinely ignored," says Natalie Winters.
"I think in this new age of media...people are looking for authenticity," adds @adammockler.com.
"I think people have lost touch with how just truly awe-inspiring and divine our founding was," says Natalie Winters as the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence nears.
"I think that the founding of this country was amazing," agrees @adammockler.com.
