Episode Details

Ashe in America and Zak Paine fill in on Labor Day while CannCon is off at a veterans event, opening with an honest and slightly spicy defense of civil disagreement between hosts after some chat pushback over Friday's show. The centerpiece is a major development in the election space, as DHS asks the DOJ to investigate ERIC over motor vehicle data that allegedly flowed to a Zuckerberg funded nonprofit across at least nine states, potentially opening the door to penalties and a nonprofit status review. They also dig into stalled accountability for the weaponization of government and why two familiar election officials have gone unusually quiet. Elsewhere there is a cautionary influencer story that veers into a surprisingly deep conversation about bodily autonomy, plus Ambassador Huckabee condemning settler violence and what that means for Christian Zionist assumptions.
