In this powerful and unexpected episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by a last-minute, but absolutely show-stopping, guest: Harrison Floyd, one of President Trump's former RICO co-defendants in the Fulton County case. With Patrick Byrne unable to make the show, Harrison steps in and delivers his first full podcast interview since the charges against him were dropped. Harrison walks through the real story behind his involvement in Georgia, the FBI's actions at his home, and the political machinery driving the case. He details his conversations surrounding Ruby Freeman, the chaotic and contradictory behavior of state and federal actors, and how coordinated lawfare became the true weapon of 2020 and beyond. This candid conversation exposes the emotional, legal, and financial toll on defendants while highlighting the deep, unresolved issues within election systems nationwide. Harrison also announces his renewed mission: supporting others targeted by weaponized government through the Statesman Project. An unfiltered, gripping, and deeply human interview you won't hear anywhere else.

In this episode of The Choice, Ashe and Ghost break from the usual scene-by-scene structure to dive deep into the two central arcs of Episode 7 of The Chosen: Matthew's unraveling identity crisis and Nicodemus's life-altering encounter with Jesus. Wrestling with logic, faith, and the cost of transformation, Matthew reaches a breaking point that sends him searching for answers from the only people who once understood him, while Nicodemus faces a collision between status, duty, and the truth he can no longer ignore. Ashe and Ghost explore how these stories echo the tension between obedience and ego, expectation and revelation, and how the episode uses these characters to illuminate the meaning of faith itself. Along the way, they discuss symbolism, Scripture, character motivations, and the emotional stakes that make this one of the standout episodes of Season 1

CannCon and Ashe in America wrap up the long-running journey through The Fourth Turning with the dramatic final chapters, breaking down generational “scripts,” crisis-era archetypes, and how each cohort, from GIs to Millennials, is positioned to shape the nation's future. The episode explores the book's warnings about national collapse, its hopes for a Golden Age, and the authors' sweeping take on cyclical history, memory spans, and the eternal return. CannCon and Ashe dig into the text's biggest claims, debate whether America is headed for destruction or renewal, and reflect on what the Fourth Turning means for the moment we're living in now. They also preview the next read, Smedley Butler's War Is a Racket, and discuss future Book Club picks as they officially put this massive work to rest.

CannCon and Ashe in America open with sponsor updates and hockey banter before diving straight into the Tennessee special election, where Democrats are already spinning a nine-point GOP win into momentum talking points. They move into Dallas County's move toward hand counting, stressing civic involvement and the broader fight over election integrity. The show then shifts to a heated discussion on immigration after Judge Beryl Howell's new constraints on warrantless arrests and the ACLU's role in shaping enforcement. CannCon and Ashe dig into Minneapolis' Somali-language political speech controversy, Trump's remarks on Minnesota visa fraud, and the broader battle over national identity. From there, they dissect Supreme Court arguments, DOJ investigations, and the political weaponization of the legal system, including the Comey-era “Arctic Haze” probe and ongoing leak issues. The episode also covers Trump's Monroe Doctrine “corollary,” Europe's escalating rhetoric toward Russia, fractured NATO relations, and the shifting landscape in Ukraine. They close by examining Rand Paul's critique of the Venezuela drug-boat strikes, Trump's defense of kinetic action against cartels, and NBC's new polling showing Americans abandoning faith in the four-year college model.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive into a packed episode exploring how rapidly shifting norms are reshaping American culture, starting with Senator Bernie Moreno's bold proposal to end dual citizenship and force a renewed conversation about loyalty, national identity, and the meaning of being American. The hosts reflect on personal experiences during COVID, the dangers of self-censorship, and the importance of confronting bad ideas openly rather than retreating from them. They examine how government overreach, bloated institutions, and a diluted sense of citizenship have eroded public trust and fueled today's fractured political landscape. From the reopening of debates around American exceptionalism to sharp critiques of globalist influence, the conversation highlights why defending foundational values, liberty, accountability, and cultural clarity, matters now more than ever.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, Jackie Espada, and Mrs. Rise Attire bring maximum girl chaos in this wildly funny, holiday-recovery episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. The show opens with toddler meltdowns, tech issues, and Jackie's ongoing war with her lungs before spiraling into Thanksgiving confessions, over-cooked turkeys, and the group unanimously agreeing that hosting is a crime against mothers. Christy introduces her idiom of the week, Abbey recounts a migraine-inducing shopping disaster, and Mrs. Rise shares her not-so-peaceful attempts at Christmas decorating. The crew veers into bad hair days, school drop-off anxiety, forgotten appointments, broken nails, laundry shame, teen attitudes, and the eternal battle between moms and grocery stores. With nonstop laughter, relatable disaster stories, and unfiltered honesty about the beautiful mess of womanhood, this episode is peak AMS energy...loud, real, and absolutely hilarious.

On this Black Friday edition of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into a packed night of election-integrity revelations, legal twists, and geopolitical chaos, with a surprise appearance from Colonel Towner. The episode opens with light holiday banter before shifting into explosive stories about non-citizen voter registrations in Pennsylvania, a resurfaced Fifth Circuit ruling requiring ballots to be received by Election Day, and the renewed fight to end early voting as a loophole for manipulation. Ashe and CannCon call out years of voter-roll corruption, failed consent decrees, and the ERIC system's role in flooding rolls with ineligible voters. The conversation deepens when Colonel Towner joins to dismantle the CIA-centric narratives emerging from the recent Laura Logan interview and Emerald Robinson thread, arguing that the agency is scrambling to rewrite history and get ahead of coming election-interference disclosures. The hosts connect these narratives to broader operations, from cartel money flows to CIA assets in South America, and the suspicious timing of domestic “incidents” meant to shape public perception. By the end, they frame the week's events as coordinated attempts to redirect the public away from the real machinery of election fraud.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America open with the shocking fallout from the DC National Guard ambush, tracking new details about the suspect's CIA-linked Afghan Special Forces past and the unexplained inconsistencies surrounding his motives, background, and timeline. They dig into Alyssa Slotkin's inflammatory rhetoric, the Seditious Six, and the broader implications of foreign-trained operatives embedded across the U.S. The conversation expands into Biden's disastrous Afghan withdrawal, the flood of unvetted migrants, and Trump's forceful response — including his order for a rigorous re-examination of green cards from countries of concern and his fiery Thanksgiving message promising a permanent immigration pause. From cartel-linked drug routes to geopolitical shifts in Ukraine peace negotiations and the China-Taiwan dynamic, the hosts connect how global power struggles, intelligence operations, and domestic instability are colliding in real time.

In this moving episode of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost unpack “Indescribable Compassion,” a chapter rich with foreshadowing, tension, and some of the most powerful character moments yet. As Thanksgiving arrives, the hosts explore how the episode weaves biblical accounts with fictional elements to highlight themes of desperation, faith, and awakening. They walk through the emotional opening with the leper, shunned, humiliated, and clinging to hope, and discuss how the episode mirrors the ancient treatment of lepers with modern societal reactions during COVID. Ashe and Ghost break down the growing conflict around Jesus's rising influence, the uncomfortable pressure it places on the Pharisees, and Nicodemus's deepening spiritual crisis as he realizes something extraordinary is unfolding before his eyes. They also revisit the childhood story Jesus shares, Rivka's bold faith, the dramatic healing of the paralytic, and Shmuel's escalating fear as the crowd recognizes Jesus's authority. With thoughtful commentary, personal reflections, and scriptural connections, Ashe and Ghost illuminate how the episode sets the stage for the seismic shifts to come.      

CannCon and Ashe in America open this episode of the Badlands Book Club with the beginning of Chapter 11, Part 1 of The Fourth Turning, diving into Strauss and Howe's blueprint for how societies and individuals should prepare for a coming crisis era. They read through and discuss the authors' seasonal model of history, focusing on how America should “move with” the current unraveling, avoid outdated behaviors from prior eras, and begin quietly preparing for the demands of the next Fourth Turning. The chapter explores the dangers of linear thinking, the need to recognize the signs of a secular winter, and the importance of personal responsibility, civic renewal, cultural uplift, and institutional pruning before a crisis takes hold. Along the way, Ashe and CannCon relate the text to modern politics, media dysfunction, generational shifts, and the hijacking of societal cycles by today's ruling class, layering in humor, eye-rolls, personal stories, debate, and real-time reactions. They also discuss upcoming Book Club selections, holiday plans, and viewer chat, making this a dense but lively walkthrough of one of the most consequential chapters in the book.

In this packed return episode, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive straight into a whirlwind of topics, from JFK's assassination anniversary and the documentary Everything Is a Rich Man's Trick to the unsettling ways government, intelligence agencies, and media manipulate public perception. The ladies explore how disinformation, staged narratives, emotional manipulation, and Hollywood-style storytelling have been weaponized for decades, weaving these themes into modern examples like J6 and media-driven political psyops. They then shift into a fascinating and at times alarming discussion on the rapid evolution of augmented reality, neural-tech, surveillance eyewear, and the eroding line between real and artificial experience. With humor, honesty, and their signature sister-energy, Ashe and Abbey tie everything back to discernment, faith, and navigating a world where you're never supposed to know who's acting, or what's real.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada return for a hilariously chaotic episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches, starting with tech trouble, backseat kids, and Jackie's coughing fits before diving into holidays, gift shopping, and the eternal battle between “girl math” and real budgets. Abbey shares her panic over last-minute Thanksgiving hosting, Ashe rants about customer-service nightmares and missing packages, Christy brings the idiom of the week (“Know your onions”), and Jackie delivers a migraine-survival segment packed with electrolytes, oils, and pressure-point hacks. The girls spiral through topics like buggy Amazon drivers, 200-item carts, late-night anxiety, CleanTok cleaning obsessions, lip-flip Botox disasters, church outfits, Soft Disclosure skincare, and stomach-virus horror stories, punctuated by barking dogs, rogue children, and relentless giggles. It's peak AMS energy: unfiltered, funny, chaotic, and comfortingly relatable.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest alarming developments in the Tina Peters case, beginning with news that she was placed in solitary confinement after filing a grievance, an action described by inmates as blatant retaliation. They walk through Tina's firsthand account of being strip-searched, mentally evaluated, and isolated for a 17-day “investigation,” then expose a series of letters sent to Governor Polis from AG Phil Weiser, DA Dan Rubenstein, and the Colorado County Clerks Association, all pressuring the state to stop her transfer to federal custody. CannCon and Ashe highlight how these officials openly admit their fear of Tina's speech, not her alleged crimes, and connect the situation to Colorado's wider political machinery, from Griswold and Crane to thousands of new campaign-finance violations and fresh filings in the Arizona elector case.

A menagerie of Badlands Media hosts pile into a fast, chaotic, and wildly funny roundtable as they kick off another Friday-night hangout. The crew dives immediately into friendly on-air “fights,” debating January 6th, fed involvement, and how seditious the seditious-conspiracy charges really are, all while roasting each other for technical issues, awkward silences, and misquotes. Newcomers get hazed, veterans get heckled, Ashe threatens multiple fights, and the group veers between political banter, inside jokes, barking dogs, nervous chihuahuas, and Soft Disclosure skincare riffs. With no plan, no structure, and nonstop interruptions, the episode becomes classic OnlyLands: unfiltered, unpredictable, and hilariously human, just a bunch of Badlanders talking trash and trying not to step on each other.

In this episode of The ASHE Podcast, host Dr. Priya Nori speaks with Dr. Alexia Foy-Crowder, Dr. Pam Bailey, and Dr. Grace Pazienza about their ASHE paper, “Stewardship opportunities in peripartum infections: a review of quality improvement initiatives and future directions” (September 2025). They discuss why they focused on the peripartum population, the unique implementation challenges in obstetric care, and key findings from their study—including the high proportion of mother–baby dyads receiving antimicrobials and the striking variability across 199 identified regimens. The authors reflect on guideline discordance, the frequent presence of penicillin allergy labels, and how these issues create opportunities for stewardship intervention. The conversation also covers practical strategies for engaging obstetric teams, metrics for improving antibiotic use, remaining research gaps, and how stewardship in obstetrics connects to maternal health disparities and global antimicrobial resistance. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antimicrobial-stewardship-and-healthcare-epidemiology/article/stewardship-opportunities-in-peripartum-infections-a-review-of-quality-improvement-initiatives-and-future-directions/BC262D79208E5215F7FF7562B579C6B2#article

Ghost and Ashe in America take viewers deep into Episode 5 of The Chosen, “The Wedding Gift,” unpacking its rich symbolism, biblical foundations, and character-driven storytelling. The episode opens with Mary and Joseph searching for the young Jesus in the Temple, setting the stage for themes of timing, calling, and divine purpose. At the wedding in Cana, Ghost and Ashe walk scene-by-scene through cultural traditions, the honor-based social dynamics, and the added character arcs that build toward Jesus' first public miracle. They explore the tension between practicality and faith through Thomas, the emotional weight of social shame for Dinah and Rafi, and the textured worldbuilding woven into every choice, from hospitality norms to the meaning of wine and the winepress throughout Scripture. The hosts also dive into one of the episode's most powerful additions: the electrifying, invented conversation between Nicodemus and John the Baptist, where prophecy, skepticism, and spiritual hunger collide. With humor, insight, and a touch of reverence, Ghost and Ashe guide viewers through the layered storytelling that makes this episode a standout in Season 1.

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running as they break down a frantic 24 hours of media panic, political spin, and global power realignment. With MBS's historic White House visit still echoing through the news cycle, they highlight how corporate media is desperately trying to bury the trillion-dollar announcement by flooding the zone with Epstein noise. MSNBC flails, ABC scrambles, and journalists push synchronized talking points that collapse under scrutiny. To dig deeper into the geopolitical stakes, they bring on Ghost, who outlines why MBS's arrival marks a generational power shift, how the U.S.–Saudi partnership is being re-engineered, and what Trump's timing reveals about the emerging world order. CannCon unpacks Epstein hypocrisy and the bizarre behavior of both left-wing media and certain “right-wing allies,” while Ashe tracks the accelerating narrative warfare and strategic misdirection pouring out of Clown World. A sharp, fiery, fast-moving episode capturing a moment where everything seems to accelerate at once.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning, unpacking Chapter 10, Part 2 with energy, humor, and hard-hitting analysis. This episode breaks down the generational archetypes, 13ers entering midlife, Millennials stepping into adulthood, and the emerging New Silent generation, and explores how each group shapes (and survives) the unfolding crisis era. Ashe and CannCon reflect on the accuracy of Strauss & Howe's predictions, from millennial collectivism and workplace shifts to Gen X's hardened pragmatism and the rising urgency for societal reconstruction. With sponsor breaks, personal anecdotes, boomer vs. 13er commentary, COVID-era parallels, and spirited discussions about culture, economics, duty, and the looming generational handoff, the hosts weave the book's themes into the present moment. This session marks the near-completion of the book, setting the stage for the final stretch of the series and the transition into the next title in the club.

Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada steer an Abbey-less episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches through a packed pre-holiday whirlwind. The ladies unveil their upcoming “holiday extravaganza” lineup featuring Shipwreck, the Rise Attire Base Queen, Michelle from Tamarack Garden, Annie from Soft Disclosure, and the Tattooed Teacher. They celebrate the start of the season with sponsor spotlights, hair-care confessions, and plans for a giant all-girls OnlyLands panel between Christmas and New Year's. Jackie announces the winners of the GART scavenger hunt, the crew recaps the weekend's karaoke moments and panel highlights, and Ashe dreams up a mock grand-jury event for the next GART, complete with jury selection chaos. Christy jumps into the idiom of the week (“take the high road”) and a history segment featuring Ruby Bridges and the wild life of investigative legend Nellie Bly. Jackie closes out with a practical migraine-survival guide for the holidays, hydration hacks, magnesium, essential oils, pressure points, and more, while Soft Disclosure makes an unofficial cameo through jokes, ad reads, and skincare worship. A cozy, chaotic, funny, and full-hearted episode that embodies the AMS sisterhood.

Ashe in America and Jackie Espada return after a GART break with a powerful, wide-ranging episode that dives straight into the stories shaping America's future. From Noah Harari's chilling statements on surveillance, data ownership, and the manipulation of human behavior, to the explosive rise of wearables like the Oura Ring and what biometric tracking really means for personal sovereignty, the hosts unpack how global elites use narratives to engineer compliance. Ashe and Jackie also explore the unfolding debate around H1B visas, Trump's controversial comments, and the long-term consequences of globalization hollowing out American talent. They analyze Alaska's massive LNG developments, the rescinding of restrictive energy regulations, and how U.S. dominance in energy is quietly being restored while the media obsesses over Epstein and H1B outrage cycles. With sharp cultural insight, deep policy breakdowns, and their signature blend of humor and straight talk, Ashe and Jackie illuminate why America's momentum is accelerating, and why the establishment can't keep up.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down Ed Martin's explosive comprehensive pardon memo...a document they call one of the most important filings since the 2020 election. They walk through Martin's sweeping legal argument detailing years of election-law violations, unconstitutional rule changes, mass censorship, mail-in ballot failures, fraudulent registrations, chain-of-custody breaches, and the refusal of courts to hear evidence. The hosts trace how contingent electors operated within constitutional authority, how historical precedent supports their actions, and why prosecutions in Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona are collapsing. They highlight Brad Raffensperger's revealing 2020 interview, the censorship regime driven by CISA and EIP, and the way lawfare was weaponized against attorneys, electors, whistleblowers, and everyday citizens. Packed with legal analysis, historical context, and fiery commentary, this episode lays out the full scope of election misconduct, and why accountability is finally coming into focus.

A whole crew of Badlands Media hosts piles into this chaotic, hilarious, deeply human episode of OnlyLands as they recover from GART weekend and attempt—mostly unsuccessfully—to stay on track. What begins as a simple debrief morphs into a free-flowing ride of sleep deprivation, family stories, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the kind of unfiltered camaraderie that only happens after days of travel and zero rest. The group shares favorite GART moments, awkward interactions, heartfelt connections, and brutally honest reflections on what it's like to meet the Badlands community in person. From Ghost's feral banter to CannCon's exhaustion, from Ashe trying to steer the ship to spontaneous tangents about kids, weather, colds, energy drinks, and oddball life advice, this is Badlands at its most authentic. There's warmth, laughter, oversharing, and the unmistakable chemistry of hosts who genuinely love each other and their audience… even when everyone is half-dead from travel and talking over one another. A messy, memorable, wildly entertaining episode that captures the heart of the Badlands family.

CannCon and Ashe in America jump straight into chaos as the morning starts with broken music cues, Mark Elias memes, and the never-ending Epstein narrative flooding the news cycle. They break down Christina Bobb's whistleblower complaint, the suspicious players surrounding the FBI, and the escalating oddities in the House Oversight Committee's selective Epstein leaks. Digging deeper, they expose media gaslighting, the weaponization of “Epstein files,” and why the narrative is designed to distract from Democrats' shutdown disaster. The hosts then wade through collapsing COVID science, retracted studies, ivermectin censorship, and Biden-era pharmaceutical corruption. In classic Badlands fashion, the conversation swerves from mortgage reforms and portable loans to Chinese student visas, H1B fights, and the absurd claim that Trump is “losing MAGA.” CannCon and Ashe slice through NBC propaganda, argue over Latin vs. French pronunciations, and end with a hilariously unhinged aerobics-style protest outside an ice arena.

In this episode of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost dive deep into Episode 4 of The Chosen, exploring the pivotal moment when Simon Peter hits rock bottom, morally, spiritually, and financially, only to encounter Jesus in a way that changes everything. The hosts unpack themes of faith, pride, desperation, and redemption through Simon's struggle to fix his problems by his own hand, contrasting his self-reliance with Eden's steadfast faith and Jesus' divine timing. They draw powerful parallels between biblical archetypes and modern life, analyzing Simon's journey as a portrait of every person who must surrender control before experiencing true transformation. From John the Baptizer's radical defiance of religious authority to Nicodemus' curiosity about miracles, Ashe and Ghost illuminate how faith challenges the rational mind and redefines power itself. A moving, cinematic reflection on obedience, grace, and the moment when belief becomes action.

Get stuck in – Michael Bourgeois, CWT How do standards get written in ways that working water treaters can actually meet? In this conversation, AWT Past President, current Related Trade Organization (RTO) Committee Chair, and Chemco Products Company Operations Manager, Michael Bourgeois CWT, explains how AWT's liaisons collaborate with peer organizations, so guidance reflects field reality—operations, risk, and achievable compliance.  From Field Bags to Board Rooms: Why RTOs Matter  Bourgeois outlines the purpose of AWT's RTO structure: volunteer liaisons track and influence work at groups whose missions overlap with industrial water—CTI, ABMA, ASHRAE, AWWA, ASHE, and others. The aim is simple and practical: make sure member voices are heard so guidance advances health outcomes (e.g., Legionella control) and day-to-day feasibility for service providers and suppliers.  Turning Reaction into Proaction  Historically, the industry learned about new rules after they landed. Bourgeois details how AWT is shifting to co-authoring cooling-water guidelines with CTI and re-engaging ABMA, so boiler-water limits and methods reflect current technologies and operations. The model: clarify shared goals, contribute content expertise, and formalize collaboration so members get usable documents at member pricing.  Concrete Moves: Boiler Water, Healthcare, and More  Examples include AWT's role on ABMA's Boiler Expo steering committee (with a focused water-treatment training block) and early conversations with ASHE on pathogen control in building and healthcare water systems. He describes how liaisons feed updates into a formal committee cadence, so the AWT Board and members see progress—not just headlines.  When working professionals help write the playbook, outcomes improve clients, operators, and public health—and members stop "reacting" to standards they had no hand in shaping.  Listen to the full conversation above.

In this gripping continuation of The Fourth Turning, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapter 10 of Strauss and Howe's prophetic masterpiece, exploring how much of their “future history” has already come to pass. From 9/11 to COVID, government shutdowns, financial collapse, and even the concept of “polycrisis,” the hosts trace how the authors seemingly predicted America's unraveling in eerie detail. They dissect the generational archetypes...Boomers, Gen X, Millennials - and how each plays a role in the coming civic rebirth or collapse. Between laughs about “cougars,” Taco Bell runs, and the Great American Restoration Tour, Ashe and CannCon examine whether the crisis climax has already begun and what kind of America might emerge on the other side. Equal parts historical reflection and philosophical debate, this episode merges humor, scholarship, and faith in the way only Badlands Book Club can.

CannCon and Ashe in America kick off Badlands Daily with early-morning banter about the eerie symbolism of the Denver Airport before diving into a packed show covering politics, corruption, and cosmic irony. They announce updates for the upcoming Great American Restoration Tour, welcome new sponsors like Kitchen and Flooring Direct and Benson Honey, and then tear into the day's big headlines: the death of Dick Cheney (“Good riddance”), election-day apathy amid unfix elections, and fresh DOJ pressure on Fulton County to finally release the 2020 ballots. Ashe dissects the meaning of the DOJ's new tone while CannCon lays out why this letter could be the start of accountability. From public-sector grift in California to SNAP fraud, Pelosi's rumored retirement, and the latest Comey revelations, the pair mix analysis and outrage with humor and hope. They wrap with sharp commentary on media manipulation, election integrity, and why America's “leaders” can't manage a budget, but patriots can still change the world one conversation at a time.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada welcome Michelle from Tamarac Garden for a lively and enlightening conversation about natural health, hormones, and holistic living, with plenty of laughs along the way. The ladies debut the “Lily Pad Cam,” share their adventures making elderberry syrup (and turning it into a cocktail), and dive into Michelle's wisdom on perimenopause, herbal remedies, and how modern toxins affect women's health.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes tackle the explosive developments surrounding the Arctic Frost investigation and the indictment of James Comey.

From the FBI's secret “burn bag” discoveries to Flynn's firsthand account of the 2016 deception, Ashe and Abbey connect the dots between the conspirators, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and beyonda, nd how their actions shaped years of political warfare. The discussion expands to modern weaponization of government, surveillance, and election integrity, before teasing the upcoming GART panels and a hilarious Lily Pad cam cameo.
