The speaker criticizes figures like Hillary Clinton, pointing out her controversial history with claims about Russian collusion and the mysterious disappearance of emails, arguing that her recent comments on Israel are unexpectedly honest and logical.

Such stories, often clearly false, demonstrate how social media functions as a “disease” infecting public discourse.
