## Resource

CannCon goes solo for the first time as Ghost steps back to daily appearances, testing out a new once a week format and asking the audience to weigh in. He starts with a wild batch of Joe Biden clips from years back showing early signs of cognitive decline, including a primetime address moment that somehow made it onto the official White House YouTube page uncut. From there it's a deep dive into Anthony Fauci's own diary entries, which read less like humble public service and more like a scrapbook of his own celebrity, paired with a Jesse Watters segment on how the media fell head over heels for him while sidelining the President. He closes with fresh intelligence community staff cuts and a memorable Harry Enten breakdown of just how unpopular one political party has become heading into the midterms. A shorter show today, but plenty packed in.
