CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapter 16 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, titled The Creature Comes to America, and the central bank saga finally lands on home soil. This week covers the Bank of North America, the nation's very first central bank, chartered before the Constitution was even drafted, along with the First Bank of the United States that followed in 1791. The hosts walk through how both institutions were modeled after the Bank of England, how fractional reserve tricks snuck their way into the new nation almost immediately, and the genuinely wild story of how the first bank's own funding was partly embezzled by its own founder. Expect some real disbelief at how early these patterns started, a little Founding Father frustration, and the usual mix of history and humor along the way.

CannCon and Ashe kick off Ash Wednesday joking that they have spent more time together this week than with anyone else, then dive into a college athletics fight that turns into a real discussion about federal overreach and the Commerce Clause. From there it is a genuinely fun segment on the State Department rolling out an at home passport application, complete with Rubio demoing the process and a new gold box that CannCon suspects will troll a lot of people. The heart of the show is CISA releasing its first public election security plan since much of that work was frozen, with a detailed walk through of patching failures, insider risk, and NGO access to voter rolls in real time. They also cover Hegseth trimming senior headquarters positions and a caravan story with an election angle.  

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome back Colonel Shawn Smith for a genuinely wonky, connect-the-dots hour. The thread starts in Puerto Rico, where the government called in the feds over its Dominion machines, and quickly widens into a study of Mojave, the AI outfit that shows up in a string of Reuters stories. Colonel Smith walks through the reporting he says conveniently never names the intelligence-community heavyweight tied to the company's founding, and argues the whole push exists to preserve the illusion that computerized voting can somehow be secured with more AI. He explains how these systems are built to cover their tracks, why you hunt for the logs that should be there and aren't, and why insiders got boxed out of the real investigation. Then CannCon carries it home with Puerto Rico's hundreds of ballot errors, the Halderman report, Raffensperger's unpatched software, and the Eric Coomer and Fox Dominion fallout. Plus beards, boomers, and Rico Suave.

Ashe in America and Wednesday regular Brian Lupo tackle the AI conversation they have been promising for weeks, joined by Matt McDonagh for some genuine industry insight and a bit of referee duty. The big question on the table, is artificial intelligence steering us toward a golden age of abundance, or something closer to global imprisonment? Expect a lively back and forth on job displacement, from blue collar work to white collar middle management, the AGI to ASI progression, and whether ideas like UBI (and a certain someone's evolving feelings about it) are a real solution or a band aid. Matt brings a preview of his new show, Life in the Singularity, premiering that Thursday, and the trio picks apart corporate AI messaging from the likes of McKinsey along the way. It is part debate, part reality check, with humor woven through some genuinely big picture stakes about where this technology takes us next.  

This is the GART recap show, and Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada are still riding the high from Las Vegas, complete with an ongoing feud over whether it is Nevada or Nevada, and a running scoreboard that simply reads "Brian is still wrong." The crew relives the weekend: Christy's early and elaborate Halloween decorating, a target trampoline that may or may not be rigged, and a genuinely great private tour of the Punk Rock Museum with a guide they kept accidentally calling the wrong name. Then things get spicy with Jon on the Streets on Fremont Street, featuring a memorable debate with some Brits about taxes and free healthcare, plus a woman who could only recite headlines. There is casino luck, playground chaos, and a Game of Thrones style soft disclosure ad war between rival houses of lotion, tallow, and beard oil. Warm, chaotic, and very funny. Come for the recap, stay for the shenanigans.

Ashe in America and Ghost close out Season 5 of The Chosen with the season finale, episode eight, and it is a big one, covering the Upper Room, the Last Supper, and the walk into Gethsemane. The hosts spend a lot of time on Thaddeus, an apostle they admit they never gave much thought to before, tracing his quiet, almost overlooked calling and why the show frames him as an example of faith without needing a dramatic reason to believe. They also break down the emotional weight of Jesus's final teachings to the disciples before everything changes, and a haunting vision involving Abraham and Isaac that lands as one of the most powerful moments of the episode. Expect plenty of scripture references, some fun tangents about their morning cacao routine, and honest reflection on how much ground this season managed to cover. It is a heavy, satisfying finale, and the hosts tease what is coming in Season 6 before signing off for their season recap next week.

Written as part of the MATS 9.1 extension program, mentored by Richard Ngo. Additional thanks to Andrew Wu, Maria Kostylew, and Lennie Wells for helpful draft feedback and editing. This post reflects on the tortured distinction between "safety" and "capabilities" in AI research. Richard Ngo has written about why the alignment vs. capabilities ontology is conceptually fraught, and is currently arguing that key strategic decision-makers in and around "AI safety" have brought about the AI labs' stampede towards Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). This post instead looks at the following problem: how does one conduct alignment research without contributing to capabilities? It proposes decisions an individual or a small research group can take to do good work in AI. At the end, I discuss possible objections: namely, that my proposals fail to 'maximise impact'. I lay out why this meme is poisonous and usually backfires, and conclude by rejecting it entirely. Two examples of failure My first claim is that 'safety' and 'research' are two concepts that are in routine tension with one another. I illustrate this through examples of work that did too much of one at the expense of the other. Example: (mechanistic) interpretability In limiting its scope [...] ---Outline:(01:12) Two examples of failure(01:27) Example: (mechanistic) interpretability(04:30) Example: MIRI and Recursive Self-Improvement(09:49) The curse of science(12:11) A note on the AI labs(15:53) So what do you do?(17:00) The information you give away(20:16) The information you let in(21:46) But what about impact?(22:42) The virtue of taking things slow(26:50) Appendix: caveat for policy work The original text contained 19 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: September 23rd, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/HekpnSkrt89tMm3Dc/i-am-an-ai-safety-researcher --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

CannCon and Ashe in America step back into early American history with Chapter 15 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, titled The Lost Treasure Map. This week covers the colonies' painful experience with fiat paper money, the resolve of the Founding Fathers to keep the new nation off of unbacked currency, and how that resolve shaped the drafting of the Constitution itself. The hosts walk through the creation of a true American dollar and the prosperity that followed, then pivot to how those hard learned lessons quietly faded once the people who lived through them were gone. Expect a genuinely hopeful chapter compared to recent ones, some classic old radio banter, and a healthy amount of frustration at how far modern politicians have strayed from that original blueprint.  

CannCon and Ashe open Ash Wednesday with a Senator Chris Murphy clip arguing that regulating the Internet and fixing loneliness is the way to inoculate voters against Donald Trump, which the hosts find both revealing and a little rich given what Badlands events do every year. That leads into a candid exchange about whether elections are really the mechanism of consent. The bulk of the show works through yesterday's UN General Assembly, from the Greenland and Denmark Arctic security agreement and two new military bases to pointed remarks on Iran, the Western hemisphere, and a globalist push around AI that the hosts promise to unpack further. Along the way there is JD Vance on fraudulent Obamacare enrollments, a Minnesota Senate candidate's campaign video raising eyebrows, and the usual sponsor breaks and chat banter.  

Fresh off a Vegas GART weekend (complete with Velcro suits and a balloon-room hip injury), CannCon and Ashe in America settle in for a news roundup after one of the great Game-of-Thrones-style beard-oil ad wars you'll ever hear. They dig into the government's own non-citizen voter figures, the 24,000 flagged by the Census Bureau versus millions still unanalyzed, and why neither host fully trusts the numbers coming from either direction. That leads into the absurdity of being told the census and voter rolls "can't be compared" when the data fields are basically the same, and why that excuse props up the whole ERIC and NGO apparatus. From there: a shareholder lawsuit forcing Fox to cough up documents tied to its Dominion and Seth Rich settlements, Rasmussen tidbits, Colorado's registration mess, and an FBI visit to a California MAGA stronghold over alleged ballot stuffing. Plus watermark ballots, the SAVE Act, and how you say Colorado.

CannCon and Ashe in America finish out Chapter 14 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, picking up with what the book calls the Transfusion Mechanism. This week covers how American taxpayers ended up quietly subsidizing Soviet Russia and its satellites long after Lend Lease officially ended, through below market trade deals, guaranteed loans, and bailouts routed through agencies like the IMF and World Bank. The hosts trace how that same pattern continued into the 1990s, with a long list of major American corporations and their CFR connected executives rushing into former Soviet territory once Yeltsin opened the door. Expect a frustrating but eye opening look at how consistent this playbook has been across decades, plus a quick preview of Chapter 15 coming next week.

No in-studio guest tonight, just CannCon and Ashe in America playing prosecutor as they roll the tape on David Becker's members-only town hall, the one Ashe tried to record and got 49 minutes of silence for her trouble, now recovered from the group's own YouTube. They pick apart his victory-lap framing that the DOJ is a perfect zero for 23 in voter-data cases, his turnout sleight of hand, and a candid admission that even the government's own analysis shows non-citizen voting almost never happens. Along the way they hit the ERIC-to-CEIR data handoff, the identity-theft "holy trinity," and why NGOs and China get the rolls but the administration cannot. Then it's part two: the Supreme Court's mail-in ballot order and a close read of Justice Alito's dissent, including a wrinkle that surprised even them. Plus a 9/11 Pentagon debate, meatball sliders, and guard week chaos.

CannCon and Ashe record a special late night edition ahead of travel to Nevada, opening with the Supreme Court's mail in ballot decision and the blistering Alito and Thomas dissent that raises real questions about who actually gets to set election rules. Ashe is still fired up from a Why We Vote episode recorded moments earlier. The bulk of the show works through a series of Kash Patel clips from his Senate appearance, where he pushes back hard on senators feeding media narratives, defends his record on weaponization, and fields a line of questioning about FBI hiring standards that leaves both hosts genuinely speechless. They also revisit lingering questions about the Thomas Crooks rooftop and what the Bureau still has not explained. Expect candid opinions and a looser late night feel throughout.  

Ashe in America brings back Deborah Flora, joined this time by her husband Jonathan Flora, to talk about their newly released 9/11 remembrance film. Deborah serves as executive producer, and Jonathan wrote and directed the project, which Ashe caught at a private screening the night before recording. Rather than retreading conspiracy angles, the film focuses on something Ashe felt strongly about, the humanity, unity, and heroism that emerged in the aftermath of that day, capturing what she calls the "spirit of 9/12." Expect stories about the making of the film, the sheer scale of the interviews and footage behind it, hopes of eventually bringing it into classrooms, and reflections on why remembering the day matters just as much as remembering the tragedy itself. Ashe also shares a personal, emotional memory of her own tied to that morning. A moving, reflective episode ahead of the anniversary.

Ashe in America and Ghost tackle Season 5, Episode 6 of The Chosen, "Reunions," and while they admit a few scenes feel like filler, there is still plenty to dig into. The hosts spend real time on the confrontation between Atticus and Kafni, unpacking a fascinating clash between Greek philosophy and rabbinic law, and a broader conversation about revenge as a driving force in both ancient and modern history. They also cover a quiet, powerful scene between Nicodemus and Yusef that both hosts call one of the best in the episode. On the political side, a mysterious Roman offer is made to Kafni that sounds a lot like a deal with the devil, and a familiar face from earlier in the season finally gets a name that longtime fans will recognize. The hosts close with some fun tangents, a touching listener testimony, and a look ahead at what is left before Season 5 wraps and Season 6 arrives in November. A meaty episode with a lot to chew on.

CannCon and Ashe in America press into Chapter 14 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, titled The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, and the story gets darker fast. This week covers the actual coup that brought the Bolshevik minority to power in Russia, the New York financiers hiding behind Red Cross credentials, and the gap between the official humanitarian story and what really happened. The hosts unpack the two separate revolutions of 1917, why Lenin and Trotsky were not even in Russia when the first one occurred, and how a well funded minority faction ended up controlling an entire nation almost overnight. They also open the door into a side trip through World War II and the financing of both sides of that conflict, though the chapter is not finished this week. Expect uncomfortable parallels to modern events and plenty of genuine disbelief from the hosts.

We were wrong about Alcaraz. All three of us said he was gone before the semis. Ben Shelton just proved him wrong—beat him in five on court.

CannCon and Ashe in America open on a somber note, asking for prayers for Professor David Clements after a serious heart attack, before wading into the competing election narratives of the week. The main event is David Becker, whose Center for Election Innovation and Research just caught a DHS referral, and whose group hosted a call Ashe tried to record only to end up with 49 minutes of deliberate silence. From there they dissect the ERIC machine: how citizenship data gets stripped out and handed back to states to "guess," why Colorado ended up with nearly 30,000 questionable registrations, and the Georgia legislature testimony where Becker's board ties got very carefully worded. They also demystify Trump's EO 13848 renewal, the CISA and EI-ISAC censorship apparatus, and the mal-information playbook. Sharp, wonky, and a little exasperated. Plus moist nicotine pouches, weeds you can eat, and a friendly Alpha versus CannCon constitutional feud.

CannCon and Ashe dig into a busy morning of coordinated midterm narrative seeding, starting with an Axios scoop on the Republican convention speaker lineup and the anxiety around who is showing up and who is quietly staying home. From there they cover a Hill piece on Trump leaning into trolling his critics, followed by the growing conservative split over a proposal to pay stay at home parents, a debate that gets into questions of populism, government intervention, and who actually decides how families raise their kids. CannCon also gets to prove he was right about daycare pricing after yesterday's solo show. The back half tackles a CNN article on presidential war powers that the hosts find hilariously self unaware. Prayers are also sent out for a friend of the show recovering from a heart attack.

Ashe in America welcomes back Corey from Break the Chains Media, joined partway through by George, cameraman for Wayne's Word podcast, for a firsthand account of a chaotic day at a Colorado student ICE out protest. Corey went in planning respectful "man on the street" style interviews, but things escalated fast once he approached one of the more radical booths, sparking a mob of high schoolers that surrounded and chased him. George's experience was worse, he was knocked to the ground and kicked while filming nearby, and both guests walk through the raw footage as it happened. Between video breakdowns, Ashe and her guests connect the incident to a bigger picture, the organizing behind these youth movements, the adults directing from behind the scenes, and how COVID era disruption may have helped seed it all. Equal parts firsthand journalism and cultural analysis, with some genuinely unsettling footage along the way.

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.

In "Serving Aces" Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdiere talk the first week of the US Open. They especially highlight Alexandra Eala and Jovic match.  Eala has had a big summer - yet she lost - but she maintained sportsmanship, fight, and grace in the match.  Alexandra and Ougi look at the American men out - and the American women.  They look forward to who they think will take the title.  They note college football has started with Ougi's favorite LSU.  Alexandra sets up the beginning of the NFL season and NY fashion week.  They end with a Patrick McEnroe quote that epitomizes the Eala/Jovic match.

Jonathan is back from the US Open with stories to share. What is it like attending the US Open now that it's allegedly overrun by influencers? We talk about the difficulty of paying attention to tennis on the sport's biggest court. Plus, we hear about the experience of seeing Venus and Serena play doubles, staying up with Novak and Venus for the tournament's latest ever start, and cold green beans and caviar. As for the tennis, the top women have mostly survived and the race for #1 is still on, while the men are offering precious little when so much is at stake.  1:00 The Louis Armstrong virtual queue 5:40 The women's round of 16: Zheng, Osaka, Gauff, and more 17:40 Waiting around for Venus vs Kenin 20:00 Venus & Serena doubles: Venus was great! 24:35 Watching tennis in Ashe is not for the easily distracted 29:30 Men's results: say goodbye to the top half  44:25 Consider me uninfluenced 53:25 Other stuff from the grounds: lotharios, palomas, and caviar

Ashe in America and Ghost say Season 5, Episode 5 of The Chosen, "Because of Me," picks up the pace in a big way, and they are not exaggerating. This is the episode where Judas's betrayal finally becomes undeniable, and the hosts walk through a tense Last Supper sequence full of suspicion around the table as the disciples try to figure out who among them could possibly turn on Jesus. Meanwhile on the Roman side, Pilate is under pressure, Atticus is forced into an uncomfortable posture, and Claudia is unraveling in her own way, giving the political side of the story just as much weight as the spiritual one. The hosts dig into the fig tree symbolism that closes out the episode and what it signals about where things go from here. There is also a genuinely moving listener testimony they read near the end that both hosts say makes doing the whole show worth it. A jam packed, emotional episode as the season heads toward its final stretch.

CannCon and Ashe in America move on to Chapter 13 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this one takes a hard turn into geopolitics. This week's theme is Masquerade in Moscow, unpacking the secret society founded by Cecil Rhodes, its American offshoot known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and the surprising role outside financiers played in funding the Russian Revolution. The hosts challenge the popular narrative that the Bolshevik uprising was purely a grassroots rebellion, tracing the money and influence back to bankers in Germany, Britain, and the United States, with the Rothschild formula popping up once again. Expect a story that starts with the Russo Japanese War and spirals into one of the most consequential cover ups of the century, plus the usual candid commentary and a few detours along the way.

Singer-songwriter Ashe exploded onto the scene with her hit divorce track "Moral of the Story," and has since collaborated with FINNEAS to form the group The Favors. Her upcoming solo album, "The Girl of Your Dreams," will be released on October 16th. Ashe previews the album with special live performances.

Antimicrobial stewardship has traditionally focused on optimizing antibiotic use to improve patient care, but growing attention to environmental sustainability is expanding how stewardship teams think about resource use. From the plastic waste generated during medication preparation and administration to opportunities to incorporate environmental considerations into antibiotic selection, stewardship offers a natural opportunity to address both clinical and environmental priorities.Dr. Pam Lee and Dr. Gary Fong developed EcoRxChoice.com, a free calculator designed to integrate environmental metrics into antimicrobial stewardship. The calculator estimates the amount of plastic waste associated with different antimicrobial regimens by accounting for materials used in medication preparation and administration. In their paper published in ASHE, "EcoRxChoice.com— an SIDP-funded calculator integrating environmental metrics with antimicrobial stewardship," the authors describe how they developed the calculator, including physically weighing items ranging from IV bags and tubing to needle hubs and medication packaging.In this episode, Dr. Lee and Dr. Fong discuss the origins of EcoRxChoice.com, the surprising amount of plastic waste generated through routine medication preparation, and how environmental impact can be incorporated into antimicrobial decision-making. They also explore the role of IV-to-oral conversion, the challenges of integrating sustainability into pharmacy and medical education and electronic medical records, and future opportunities to expand the calculator to other areas of stewardship and infection prevention.Links and Recommendations:EcoRxChoice.com— an SIDP-funded calculator integrating environmental metrics with antimicrobial stewardship: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antimicrobial-stewardship-and-healthcare-epidemiology/article/ecorxchoicecom-an-sidpfunded-calculator-integrating-environmental-metrics-with-antimicrobial-stewardship/83C55C51C9C446C4728FF1980CD2EC14https://ecorxchoice.com/?page=plasticWasteCalculator Development of a Novel Carbon Emissions Estimation Tool for Disposable Waste Associated With Antimicrobial Packaging, Preparation, and Administration in the Hospital Setting: https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/12/10/ofaf308/8183152

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene to discuss a rain-affected day at the US Open which ended with top seed Alexander Zverev coming within two points of defeat before eventually winning at 1:55am.Part one - Men. We react to Zverev's win over Lorenzo Sonego, including the dazzling tennis played at times by the Italian, the lateness of it all, and whether Zverev has played himself into form or not. Elsewhere, we cover Flavio Cobolli's first ever comeback from two sets down and a win for the incomparable Gael Monfils on his 40th birthday. Part two (28:51) - We discuss Coco Gauff's first round victory over Zeynep Sonmez and how it revealed the tough viewing experience for tennis fans inside the Arthur Ashe stadium at night. Plus, a nervy opening win for Madison Keys, a better-than-expected performance from Elena Rybakina, a strong start for Alexandra Eala, and a big win for Yulia Putintseva over Belinda Bencic in a match where Bencic was fortunate not to be defaulted. Part three (53:54) - A look ahead to Wednesday's order of play which still has some first round matches left to finish, as well as Jessica Pegula and Ben Shelton with potentially tricky matches on Ashe.Thank you to Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast, the Premium Hospitality and Experience provider for supporting our US Open coverage.They can organise your dream tennis-watching experience at the biggest tournaments in the world, inducing the WTA Finals held this year at Indian Wells, 8th-15th November.Just go to Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast and use the code DEUCE5 at checkout for 5% off.5% off select WTA Finals packages with code DEUCE5 at tours4tennis.com/podcast.

Ben and Tumaini are back in the media garden outside of Ashe to discuss the nearly completed first round of the U.S. Open, in which Carlos Alcaraz made an impressive comeback and Novak Djokovic suffered a slow and painful exit. We also discuss Arthur Fils' surprise loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas, a nice win by Gael Monfils, Elena Rybakina playing through pain, and Naomi Osaka's latest fashion statement.  We also discuss the U.S. Open's "trashy" deal with Kalshi, and Mary Carillo's amazing induction speech in Newport. Thank you for listening! You can read Ben's work at Bounces and Tumaini's at The Guardian. Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

CannCon and Ashe in America finally land a guest CannCon has chased for years, and it's personal, since Tim Canova is a law professor at CannCon's alma mater and once ran for Congress in his district. A lifelong Kennedy Democrat turned establishment thorn, Tim recounts his against-all-odds 2016 primary run at DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, built on 12,000 door knocks a week, a surprise Bernie Sanders endorsement, and a national map lighting up with small-dollar donations. Then comes the gut punch: local media posting results with 70 percent of precincts reporting before a single ballot was counted, polls that vanished, and a ballot-destruction saga that followed. Along the way the crew connects it to Kari Lake, Pennsylvania, WikiLeaks, and the machinery that protects incumbents. A rare insider's view of how a party crushes its own insurgents. Plus AI data centers, loaded gun coffee, and the Creature from Jekyll Island.

CannCon and Ashe open with a Missouri Deputy Attorney General surviving five days lost in the Wyoming wilderness before turning to Congress, where a ballooning lame duck agenda has lawmakers punting government funding, Iran war money, and surveillance authority extensions until after the election. They dig into the House voting to condemn socialism in all its forms with eight Democrats crossing over, and have some fun with the definitional problems that creates. The middle of the show covers a Russia sanctions bill stalling out in the House and President Trump welcoming Russia back to the G20 in North Carolina, much to Europe's irritation. The election segment features a Harmeet Dhillon interview and a look at deportation numbers that sparks a moving discussion about the people caught up in it. They close with a candid conversation about scripture, Christian Zionism, and reading verses in full.

Ashe in America welcomes back Jonathan Drake for a two part conversation, starting with a fun behind the scenes recap of their live jury trial experience at Deadwood, complete with an unforgettable "my son is innocent" courtroom moment and a preview of what is coming at the Great American Restoration Tour stop in Las Vegas. The two also swap notes on show intros, badlands community swords, and a bit of easy banter before shifting gears entirely. The second half digs into Lysander Spooner's writing on poverty, exploring his argument that scarcity is largely manufactured rather than natural, and that systemic roadblocks, not laziness, keep talented, hardworking people down. Ashe and Jonathan connect that thinking back to trial by jury and common law, making the case that the two ideas are more related than they first appear. Expect a mix of lighthearted recap and genuinely thought provoking philosophy by the end.

Ashe, Christy, and Jackie open with a rundown of sponsors and a quick preview of Badlands Media's upcoming Las Vegas trip, complete with a callback to the legendary photo that started it all. Then the history segment turns reflective with a tribute to Dolly Parton, sparking an honest conversation about a beloved icon and the complicated feelings around her Covid era advocacy. Things lighten right back up with a hilarious old interview clip full of unexpected answers, followed by a genuinely useful trip into the mainframe. Jackie walks through exactly how to screen record on your phone, including the audio trick that makes those viral clips possible, perfect for anyone who has ever begged someone to clip a moment from the show. Expect the usual mix of sponsor shoutouts, inside jokes, and a preview of what is coming next on the Badlands lineup. Fast, funny, and full of heart.

Ashe in America and Ghost call Season 5, Episode 4 of The Chosen, "The Same Coin," a real turning point, and they mean it. This episode zeroes in on two men chasing the same broken idea of righteousness from opposite sides, as Judas continues to unravel and Shmuel crosses a line of his own that changes everything for him. The hosts spend real time on the Last Supper dialogue between Jesus and Judas, breaking down just how close the show sticks to the Gospel accounts while still finding room for gut wrenching original material. Expect a close look at betrayal, self deception, and what happens when someone convinces themselves that compromise is really conviction. They also talk through where Shmuel's arc is headed and why his storyline mirrors Judas more than either character would probably admit. As always there is warm banter, some sponsor reads, and genuine reverence for how the show keeps raising the emotional stakes. Ashe promises no spoilers too soon, so settle in.

CannCon and Ashe in America return to finish what they started, picking up the second half of Chapter 12 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this time they actually get to the sinking of the Lusitania. The hosts walk through how the ship was quietly outfitted for war, the cargo controversy that followed it for decades, and the strange timeline of warnings and decisions that put it directly in a U boat's path. They dig into the competing explanations for why the ship went down in under eighteen minutes, from torpedoes to secondary explosions to what divers actually found in the wreck decades later. Expect some genuinely jaw dropping historical details, a healthy dose of suspicion about official reports, and the kind of ending that makes the whole setup from last week click into place.

CannCon and Ashe open with the CIA director making an unannounced trip to Moscow and speculate on what business would justify a visit nobody was supposed to know about. From there they dig into three Secret Service communications officials being suspended and stripped of clearances in a leak probe that appears tied to the Air Force One plane swap story, with both the FBI and CIA involved. The middle of the show covers the Department of Education rollback and a Colorado teacher taking on her own union, sparking a broader conversation about decision rights and who should actually hold them. The back half is heavy on elections, from Michigan's motor voter whistleblower claims and a Postal Service standoff with a federal judge to an Ohio proof of citizenship block and Lisa Murkowski's shifting explanations on the Save America Act. Plenty of banter and real depth throughout.

Jon Herold works to untangle public confusion over a recent SCOTUS ruling on mail in voting, explaining that it only unfroze one of two active cases challenging Trump's postal executive order while the League of Women Voters case is still blocking key provisions. He covers the DOJ and FBI seizing Chinese state sponsored hacking tools that targeted NASA, the Fed, and other agencies, a Secret Service leak investigation resulting in staff suspensions, and a newly announced Meta settlement over child safety claims. Ashe in America joins later to break down the Mike Lindell Minnesota recount fight and why the state's proposed "partial recount" methodology raises red flags. Other topics include a Pentagon claim of newly found Afghanistan withdrawal documents, a Massachusetts lawmaker's pandemic fraud arrest, and some fun with a new nickname for a Colorado election official. Sponsor reads, ad mishap bloopers, and a lively chat session round out a Wednesday show ahead of tonight's Power Hour with Burning Bright.

This is the guest the audience kept demanding, and Zak Paine pushed CannCon to book. Clint Curtis, now Registrar of Voters in Shasta County, California, is the programmer who, back around 2000 in Florida, was asked to write software that could flip an election, and did, in 24 lines of code. CannCon and Ashe in America walk him through that origin story, the congressional testimony every mainstream camera mysteriously abandoned at lunch, the hanging chad "designed problem," and the eerie 51-49 pattern that haunted results for a decade. Then Clint explains his current fix: livestreaming every ballot on video before and after it touches a scanner so the machine simply cannot afford to cheat, and how that process accidentally uncovered a counterfeit ballot-stuffing problem. A rare, technical, and slightly jaw-dropping conversation with someone who has seen the guts of the system. Plus cacao, mystery toner, and a Las Vegas geography quiz.
