4:01Now PlayingWithout any evidence at all to back up his absurd claims, Donald Trump said on Monday that foreign countries would be able to print ballots and mail them to people in the United States which would then skew the results of the election. There is no low that the man will not sink to in order to suppress the vote in 2020, and his Twitter tirade based on pure fantasy is just further proof of this. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses what's going on.

It's always fun when we, uh, get a new Donald Trump right wing conspiracy theory that has no basis in reality, it doesn't even have any kind of evidence whatsoever to attempt to back it up. It's just something in this case, William Barr made up out of thin air that Donald Trump took and ran with to create a new conspiracy theory. On Monday, when Donald Trump tweeted out the following, he said, rigged 20, 20 election, millions of mail in ballots will be printed by foreign countries and others. It will be the scandal of our times. And he had caps lock on throughout the entirety of that. A tweet there, I don't know if that was intentional or if it got stuck and he couldn't figure it out either way. It was, it was yelling mail in ballots, being printed by foreign countries. Then, you know, flood the U S market.
People are going to be so confused. They're going to be voting like five or six times, uh, States and, uh, election boards are going to be so dumb that they just count like 8 million ballots. Even if they only have a County of 500,000 people, because they don't know the difference. Total chaos, everything is going to be screwy and Trump's doing this cause he knows he's going to lose his poll. Numbers are so bad. Uh, Tulsa kind of confirmed it over the weekend that he ain't where he was with the support, even among the hardcore. Um, and so now he's like, well crap, what do I do? I'm going to lose. So I have to make it look like I didn't lose as so, Oh, well, let's go back to this voting fraud thing. And on Sunday, William Barr, as I mentioned, attorney general of the United States goes on Fox news with Maria Bartiromo and he said, the following, he said, right now a foreign country could print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots and be very hard for us to detect, which was the right.
And which was the wrong ballot they could in theory, just like they could be out there printing out all of these, a counterfeit dollars, but we do have systems in place to make sure that that doesn't happen. I mean, that's why, you know, dollars in the United States continues to evolve to make it harder for people to counterfeit. We have the technology for that. It's actually pretty easy. So why could we not go ahead and implement some kind of counterfeit protection measures into these ballots? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Does it? The federal government literally has whole people whose jobs it is to prevent counterfeiting. Like that's, that's what they do. That's their career. And then they retire and then somebody else does it. Why not maybe have those people, like, just, just talk to them, let me just take them out to lunch one day and be like, Hey, by the way, we got to print things out, you know, about printing things and making sure they have safe guards. So they're not counterfeited. What are your suggestions? Cause you're the expert.
