Episode 005: The 2020 Election Results

If there ever was a time our podcast could catch up to the present moment this is that time. We recorded the first segment of this episode two nights after Election Day. My laptop died after an hour and we picked it back up again in a day or so. Since then, we've put out a backlog of two other episodes and now this one and don, don, dahhhhhh... we still don't have an election final result. Unless you have been living under a rock you know that Donald Trump has not conceded the election to Joe Biden. We'll pick up the fine points of Trump's argument in another episode, but let me just go out on a limb here and state the obvious. Trump's people are making claims of election fraud in public speeches, but when they go to court (now over 20 times) the Trump lawyers are backing down and they won't mention their cases are about fraud. Reason being, in public you can lie about your predicament and as long as you aren't committing slander, you can get away with it. But, in court, if a lawyer knowingly lies, they can be held in contempt and it is a crime to do so. That is why, at this point, nearly all of team Trump's claims are baseless and getting thrown out of court and they never claim fraud exists. That is not opinion, that is the truth, but it still works to drive the emotion of team Trump. Ok, on with the show.
