Summary
CannCon and Zak Paine open the Monday show fresh off a massive Friday ruling and ready to connect all the dots. The Hantavirus narrative is in full swing with CNN, the New York Post, and the WHO doing their best to spin a Dutch ornithologist's South American landfill trip into the next pandemic, and CannCon maps out the election year fear playbook with every example going back to 2006. Trump refuses to rejoin the WHO. Susie Wiles drops a quiet bombshell at an award ceremony, saying she thinks Trump will be found to have won the states he appears to have lost in 2020, and CannCon unpacks why that statement from a former perceived gatekeeper is enormous. America First Legal exposes Minnesota's vouching system, which allowed more than 12,000 new voter registrations with no ID verification across three election cycles. Pete Hegseth launches a Department of War COVID vaccine reinstatement task force promising back pay and discharge upgrades to service members pushed out for refusing the mandate. The DOJ plans to release 70 hours of Biden's 2017 ghostwriter audio, and Biden's lawyers are racing to stop it. Plus, a former NFL player gets 196 months for $200M Medicare fraud and a Minnesota nonprofit diverts millions meant for violence prevention to Vegas trips and liquor stores.
