Le pen fits very amazing to be here in my hometown of new york city. Ive got my family here. Tonight we are going to talk about democracy. That word, we have probably talked more about democracy in the last four or five years that i had talked about all of my time as a journalist before that. Even that as a topic seems very weird. Americas a democracy, and there is a certain kind of history that we are taught as a part of the Mystery Civic Culture totally. Even civi
