ectly. Played it perfectly. He just has Kim Jong-un's back and that will be good for the country. All right. The thing that I wish Trump had said about the forest fires is that we need nuclear energy. But I think that's just sort of, people can't quite understand the topic yet. Probably 80 percent of the country still thinks you can't deal with the nuclear waste. You can. It's not that big a deal…

in votes are fine. They're fine. There's no problem with mail-in votes. The president's a big old liar. There's no problem. Mail-in votes, they've worked in other countries, they've worked in other states, they've been working for years, nobody's finding a problem. Therefore the president is completely wrong about the risk of mail-in votes. Well until yesterday when CNN, here's the important part, CNN is reporting that mail-in votes are a total nightmare and that they're completely inaccurate and there's plenty of evidence that they don't work. What did you see that CNN just did? A complete 180. A complete 180.

And they act like they never said the other thing. They just pretended that months of reporting about how safe it was just doesn't exist anymore. And now the report is, wait for it, it gets better. This isn't the whole story. It gets better. Part of the report on CNN said that one of the reasons that mail-in votes are so inaccurate is, and I quote, one University of Florida study found Black and Hispanic voters in the state were twice as likely to have their ballots rejected as white voters. Who could have seen that coming, right? Now this doesn't have anything to do with being Black or Hispanic. All right, let me be clear about this. This difference almost certainly has to do with economics, almost certainly has to do with education which is related, right? So if you're in a low socioeconomic group what are the odds that you're good at filling out paperwork? Right? I have a terrible time filling out any paperwork. Even the simplest form I fill in the wrong blocks and I got the wrong date and I signed my name in the wrong place. So you would expect, it's completely predictable that the higher educated you are, regardless of ethnicity, has nothing to do with that, but the higher educated you are you would expect you're more likely to fill in a form correctly. Is that even controversial? The more educated, the more likely you can fill out a form, the more likely you can do anything that requires a little bit of thinking. So I wouldn't make this a Black and white or Hispanic thing. It has more to do with education. But the practical impact of it is that it's racist. Massive mail-in votes are, according to CNN, this isn't me, according to CNN, mail-in votes, the thing that they've been promoting for months, are racist because that would be the outcome. The Black voters would be disenfranchised without knowing it because their votes would be rejected and they wouldn't know they were rejected.

All right, here's an update on who I call my smartest Democrat friend who is suffering from TDS. Here's a list of things he believed a few weeks ago. All right, these are all the things he believed to be true. He believed that the president suggested drinking bleach

to cure coronavirus. Not. He believes the fine people hoax. He believed that Biden doesn't lie, Trump does. He believed that mail-in voting was dependable because CNN told him that. Last week before this week he believed that the protests were probably about Trump. You know Trump was the cause of the protest. He believed the Russian bounties on American soldiers which a report today says they don'…
