Episode Details

CannCon kicks off the new solo Monday format, with Zak Paine moving to Tuesdays, and a heads up that he is headed to Las Vegas for art week. The show opens with CBS finally catching up to a story CannCon has been covering for months, involving a foreign national quietly using American surrogates and imported fertilized embryos on a scale nobody is tracking, and why he sees it as the strongest argument yet for ending birth tourism. From there he unpacks fresh NBC reporting on Joe DiGenova's abrupt resignation from the Mar a Lago search probe, including what was left unsaid about who was sent in from DOJ headquarters. He also covers an AI deepfake tangent, a Kevin Hassett clip pushing back hard on inflation talking points, and a Don Bacon interview that does not go the way Bacon intended.
