t doesn't get much play. Do you remember the story about the border patrol people who were whipping the immigrants with literally with whips? And it turns out nope they were just riding horses. It wasn't so much that they were whipping immigrants it was more like they were just people on horses and they were using their horsey thing to keep the horse in control. But most people heard the story but didn't hear the correction so they still think it happened.

There's another one like that. There was a story about Homeland Security being chased away by you know the Texas authorities and it caused them not to be able to save some drowning immigrants. And so the immigrants drowned because Texas government is so bad and they made the federal government stand down and didn't allow them to save the drowning people. Well none of that was true. Nothing like that happened. There were some drownings so that part is true but it had nothing to do with anybody preventing anybody from doing anything. They didn't even have the timing right. It was happening before any of this.

So this is another story. Do you remember the correction? No no you probably remember the story but not the correction. So what would be the incentive for a government not to lie? I feel like lying is so incentivized that they'd be crazy to tell the truth. What would be the point of it? Might as well lie.

Well speaking of lying, Putin is talking about US elections. Said he's a good troublemaker you know. Yeah you have to appreciate his troublemaking ways. So Putin said I guess translated in English it would say in the United States previous elections were falsified through postal voting. They bought ballots for $10, filled them out and threw them into mailboxes without any supervision from observers and that's it. Putin said without providing any evidence.

Now the funny part is that you know Putin's an ex-KGB guy and he knows exactly how to get under the skin of Americans and that was it. That's how you get under the skin of America. So yeah I think at least half of America according to polls at least half of America agrees with him directionally. Not necessarily that the only problem was mail-in ballots but directionally I think people assume the elections have been stolen.

So I'm going to say it directly. I don't have any evidence about 2020 but I would be amazed if we've had any fair elections in my lifetime. I'd be really surprised. I don't think there's any way to know for sure but why would there be fair elections if you understand how the world works? You have to assume that the bad people are doing everything they can to gain control all the time and they're not going to fail every time. Eventually one of their secret plays, the game control through I don't know the CIA or the FBI or you know a secret coalition of whatever, it's going to work eventually because nobody will ever stop trying. It's too much of a payoff to st
