Episode Details

CannCon and Zak Paine open Monday with highlights from the Freedom 250 race in DC before digging into a measles outbreak story where the actual death numbers do not match the panic, with a detour into obesity and food policy nobody seems to want to talk about. From there they cover Brandon Gill making the case for testing the legality of auto pen pardons in court, and why the Fauci prosecution might be the perfect vehicle to do it, alongside the escalating Eric Swalwell investigation. The back half includes a New York Times story on a private Jeffries and Kushner meeting fueling midterm speculation, the Postal Service quietly tightening mail in ballot requirements despite a court block, and Gavin Newsom signing a bill critics say targets investigative reporting. Plenty of tangents and easy Monday banter throughout.
