Huh. So figuring out how to make a show this week has actually been very hard because as I try to talk about other things in the world

It feels like we have this crazy man at the gate shaking them yelling pure insanity at times and

Also that man technically until January 20th is still president of the United States. You just have lie after lie after lies. Some, he

doesn't even sprinkle in truth anymore, just pure lunacy. So I think a lot of people trying to

cover and comment on the news responsibly go, do we give any of that craziness any oxygen, more

oxygen than it really deserves and talk about other things? Or is it still incredibly important to talk about, provide more context, debunk the lies that are

being kind of thrown out there still? Because no matter what happens from here to

January 20th, trust in democracy, trust in reality is being permanently damaged.

Especially at a time where more people feel more unreachable than ever and it's impossible to keep up with the number of lies. So you have to kind of pick and choose what you go after.

Because you enter this situation where no matter how many things you debunk, they still go, well what about, even though the list of things that have been debunked, the list just goes on and on. So know that that at times is what I struggle with when choosing kind of what to cover or how often to cover things.

I'm not worried about people that maybe watched a show a year ago going, ah, you're biased because I'm not going to treat something as valid or as an equally equivalent argument when it is a bad faith argument or a lie or completely misleading.

And so with all that

said, where I want to start today is by talking about the nation's top election security official,

Chris Krebs, or I guess rather the nation's former top election security official. And I say former

because yesterday on Twitter we saw President Trump firing Krebs from his position as director

of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, aka Sisa, which sounds like the sassiest of government agencies. I believe their agency

motto is hey Sissa. So, SOSA. No, that's stupid. But more specifically, Sisa is an agency

under the Homeland Security umbrella that Trump himself signed into law back in 2018. Now, as far as

why Krebs was fired, Trump seemed to indicate that it was based on a

recent statement that he made. As far as that statement goes, look, Sisa has consistently been

very clear that there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud in this past election.

For example, they even created a rumor control page that debunked a number of election fraud
