And I think most people would fall into the trap and they'd say, oh yeah, Elon Musk, he could use his satellites and his neural link and his boring company and they'd come up with something and say, yes, the Doge people could play with the voting records. So if you can get them to admit that Elon Musk and his tech bro helpers, hypothetically,

could rig an election, then how do you know 2020 was good? That's where the fun starts. And then people will say, but, but, no court has found any problems. To which I'd say, but you think that Elon Musk could rig an election without leaving a trace. So there wouldn't be any court finding in that case either. But that's where the cognitive dissonance will kick in.

If you get that far, they will change the subject, tell you that you have to use the restroom, or have some kind of weird cognitive dissonance. Because once they've admitted that somebody could rig an election if they had the right kind of technical know-how and money, it kind of opens the door that there's more than one person who can do it. like the CIA, for example?

Well, according to Blaze Media, there's another question related to Musk and rigging the election. I saw some people say that Musk was rigging the 2024 election by adding a lot of money. And mostly money, right? Oh, but also he has control over Axe. We don't know if he made any changes on Axe. But in theory, his enemies believe he could have. So here's my question.

If you believe that somebody's money could change an election and effectively rig it, What about somebody who doesn't put in a lot of money but is really good with messaging? For example, the difference between clown genius and the golden age and common sense, those are really strong campaign messages. And then you look at Bernie, oh, the oligarchs, ugh. Oh, the oligarchs.

Oh, the oligarchs.
And you don't even know what he's talking about. So is it fair that Bernie and his messengers are all just idiots? Oh, the oligarch. Got to watch out for the oligarch. But the Republicans have somewhat brilliant messaging help. Mostly Trump. Trump's the number one messenger. And nobody's ever been better.

But the Republicans have somewhat brilliant messaging help. Mostly Trump. Trump's the number one messenger. And nobody's ever been better.
But Trump also has really capable message people who weigh in whenever there's something that's a little bit in a whack. And I'm one of them. So I don't control anything. But if you came out with a new message and I said, oh, that's not persuasive, wouldn't you feel a little bit of pressure to maybe fix that? Probably you would. So is that rigging an election?

Am I rigging it because I'm better with words and with persuasion? It feels like I am. In the same way that somebody putting a lot of money into it would be rigging it, I would definitely be rigging it by better messaging. Anyway, Blaze Media is pointing out that there are some recent polls that show President Trump's approval is among the best that's ever been.

So Rasmussen and Insider Advantage and Trafalgar Group are all showing that his numbers are looking really, really good. Now, who knows what polls are accurate and which ones are rigged and blah, blah, blah. But those are three polls. I only know a little bit about one of them, so I don't think they made up any numbers.

Here's a little tip for you, because I used to work in data collection and data analysis when I had my corporate job. If you can boil down whatever your complicated situation is into one number, that's kind of a miracle. But it also can activate people.
