## Resource

CannCon and Chris Paul dive straight into the morning after Trump's primetime election speech, breaking down which pre show rumors actually panned out and which turned out to be red herrings. The bulk of the show walks through the declassified documents at the center of it all, from claims that China compromised well over 200 million voter registration records to renewed questions about Venezuela, Smartmatic, and what intelligence agencies allegedly kept from the President himself. They also pick apart how the major networks are already trying to bury the story, comparing what actually aired against a rapid fact check rebuttal that raises as many questions as it answers. Along the way there is a State Department crackdown on far left violent networks and a healthy debate between the hosts about whether any of this actually moves the needle. Expect some real disagreement and a shorter than usual show.
