huh that's weird but you know we've done it before. I mean we did it with Saddam Hussein. So it's not the strangest thing that would ever happen if it's the federal government. But where does a state get off doing international negotiations? What do I not know about this story? Because to me this is illegal. What am I missing? How can a state put a bounty on somebody's head in another country? How…

u're low income and systemic racism and all the rest that your best opportunity for making money was illegal selling drugs. Now you'd have the government that's taking what feels like your money and giving it to the Venezuelans while the Venezuelans are literally taking your illegal jobs which you might think are your best option because the legal stuff isn't going to work out for you for one reason or another.

Things might be really coming to a head. There might be some, we could be on the cusp of some murdering among the criminal elements like we've never seen before. So at some point the Venezuelan gangs might try to wipe out the black criminal element and just take over the business. So I don't think we fully understand how violent this could get.

All right. Here's a new story that according to the AP there are 98,000 Arizonans whose citizenship hadn't been confirmed that will be allowed to vote. So the Arizona Supreme Court said that even though we don't know if 98,000 people in Arizona we don't know if they're citizens they will be allowed to vote.

Now our election system is just a joke at this point. It's just a joke. And the funny thing is that if you don't follow the news that I follow you know because people send me stories they think I'm interested in and I am interested in, are our elections secure? So I see five of these a day. Five a day legitimate stories. This one's from the Associated Press. And how am I supposed to process this? This feels like the AP is telling me that the government of one of our key states in the election is going to ignore the Constitution and just let anybody vote who signed up or something. I mean it looks like nobody's even trying. It looks like the government just said ah screw it anybody wants to vote come on in. I don't even understand what I'm looking at. Like how can this even be happening? It doesn't feel like any of it's legitimate.

When I see something like this I think okay the Arizona Supreme Court, I guess they're all owned by the cartels or owned by the Democrats or they're blackmailed but I can't think of any non-corrupt reason for what I'm seeing. Can you? Can you think of a non-corrupt explanation for why they'd let 98,000 people who can't prove that they're citizens vote in a swing state? There's no reason other than corruption that I can think of.

I usually at least know the argument on the other side. What's the argument on the other side of this? Because they try to pull the voter suppression. Oh you're trying to keep black people from voting. There's no evidence of that at all. No evidence. Now if somebody had some evidence I would quickly embrace that point of view based on evidence. I don't oppose it on any kind of philosophical level. You could have to show me something. But we've still never seen a single black citizen of America who wanted to vote who couldn't figure it out and couldn't get an ID. Not one. In years, years have passed and we haven't found one. And the news will still report it like that's a legitimate reason. Yeah well I mean you could disagree or agree but they've got a point. You don't want to disenfranchise all these voters. What voter? We haven't found one disenfranchised voter ever.

Now keep in mind they have to be people who can't get an ID but are still interested and knowledgeable enough about politics to vote. Zero. That Venn diagram is no people. None. And we

're all supposed to pretend like they exist or something. No I'm not going to pretend they exist unless you can show me one. Show me one. Just one. We got lots of people in the country. Yeah one would be good. Just one. All right I've got a new tell for somebody being either brainwashed or being the brainwasher. So you can't tell because they would use the same words. The brainwasher would inject…
