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.

Vaccine skepticism and distrust of pharmaceutical companies long predated RFK, Jr.'s 2024 presidential campaign. But the distrust of mainstream medical authority has now grown so deep that the United States can no longer contain the spread of measles. The country's measles-vaccination rates have dropped below the threshold for herd immunity. Obviously, Trump's misleading vax ruminations from the Oval Office have not helped the matter. The New Yorker's Ruby Cramer discusses her reporting on one family's frightening medical experience after one parent fell down the MAHA rabbit hole. Plus: The administration has given Big Ag a pass, Democrats should try recapturing health-conscious voters, the overlooked case of an American shot by immigration thugs, and the surprising backstory of Kari Lake becoming ambassador to Jamaica.

Shane Cashman joins Nephilim Death Squad for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book Good Villains, his years inside the Tim Pool / Timcast IRL ecosystem, political media, conspiracy culture, Christianity, and what happens when public narratives stop matching the reality you see firsthand.The episode opens with Shane reflecting on Tim Pool IRL, the Steven Crowder and Daily Wire fallout, and the strange political atmosphere surrounding Charlie Kirk. From there, the conversation moves into media framing, political violence, Smedley Butler, free speech, comedy, cancellation culture, Louis C.K., Dave Chappelle, Owen Benjamin, and the role comedians play in challenging protected narratives.Shane and the hosts also dig into Candace Owens, Andrew Wilson, Steven Crowder, government interest in psychic phenomena, alien-abduction stories, Gnosticism, pole-shift theories, young-earth creationism, carbon dating, the speed of light, NASA, flat earth, and the danger of turning politics or science into an idol. They discuss AI tools such as Grok and ChatGPT, hallucinated information, people forming emotional or spiritual attachments to artificial intelligence, numerology, occult practices, and Shane's decision to rely on Scripture during a tense Timcast episode.Later, Shane explains the ideas behind Good Villains and the real-world reporting that shaped it, including Kanye West, Eliza Blue, Alex Jones, Kari Lake, East Palestine, the film White Noise, post-COVID America, political influencers, the Epstein binders controversy, JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Rumble, Billy Corgan, professional wrestling, and the idea that modern politics operates through kayfabe, faces, heels, and manufactured conflict.The conversation ultimately returns to faith, forgiveness, redemption, the Bible, Jesus Christ, the Old Testament, and why Shane believes Christians should avoid making idols out of political personalities. He also discusses becoming an independent writer, future investigations, new media projects, and where he wants his work to go next.What part of this conversation stood out to you most?

Good Villains is an odyssey into the minds of America's most polarizing figures—those who blur the line between icon and outcast.It begins with an unexpected encounter with Ye (formerly Kanye West) in late 2022, shortly after his billion-dollar empire collapsed and his presidential ambitions spiraled into chaos. What unfolds is a journey across the country, as author Shane Cashman gains unprecedented access to controversial cultural figures such as Alex Jones, Kari Lake, and Riff Raff—culminating in a harrowing profile of a woman at the center of a viral human trafficking controversy. These are not easy stories. They are intimate, unflinching portraits of the people who provoke, polarize, and challenge the mainstream narrative.At once cultural investigation and personal memoir, Good Villains asks what happens when a journalist steps inside the blast radius of fame, infamy, and digital hysteria, as Cashman embeds himself deeper in the lives of the infamous and becomes part of the story he set out to chronicle. Good Villains is a meditation on what it means to be adored, condemned, and obsessively watched in the modern world. Cashman trespasses into the upper echelon of America's celebrity and politics and sends back a dispatch from the center of a culture in collapse—where the most vilified figures hold a mirror up to the world and its flaws. The result: a gripping, dramatic look at cancel culture, fame, and the media machine told with journalistic detail and exceptional style.https://amzn.to/4iazYJ3Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Send us Fan MailLast week, we heard how a single ride-along changed the trajectory of one man's life forever. This week, Sheriff Mark Lamb and I talk about the big issues: border security, the Second Amendment, term limits, what's broken in law enforcement today, and why a man who spent eight years as one of America's most recognized sheriffs is now setting his sights on Congress. This is Part Two of my conversation with The American Sheriff.More about Sheriff Lamb. Mark Lamb is known as “The American Sheriff.” He served as the 24th Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, overseeing a county the size of Connecticut. Before entering law enforcement, he was a business owner for over a decade and didn't join law enforcement until his thirties, yet he quickly rose through the ranks. Valedictorian of his training class, Rookie of the Year, Officer of the Year, and Detective of the Year.He served as sheriff from January 2017 through December 2024, and ran for U.S. Senate in 2024, losing the Republican primary to Kari Lake. He's now running for Congress in Arizona's 5th Congressional District. Please enjoy this thought-provoking conversation with Sheriff Mark Lamb.  In today's episode, we discuss:·      What makes an effective leader, especially in law enforcement?·      What was his favorite victory or defeat in life and in law enforcement?·      The border crisis. What has been done to help, and why is it so imperative to have a safe and secure border?·      What about the illegal aliens who have been here for years and are not criminals? A path towards citizenship.·      The ICE catastrophe in Minneapolis and the complete breakdown in leadership from the president, the head of ICE, the mayor of Minneapolis, and the chief of the Minneapolis PD. ·      2nd Amendment rights. What are we doing right and wrong in this country now regarding this?·      Moving towards a sheriff model of law enforcement and moving away from having a chief of police who has to bow to political pressure to keep their jobs.·      What is right and wrong with LE today? ·      It feels like we are split as a nation. I believe a lot of this is fueled by untruthful media. What can we do to stop this?·      Running for Congress, why???? It's just not you; it is your family as well.·      His views on term limits.·      How can a congressman accumulate so much wealth while in office, making $175,000.00 a year??  All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Sheriff Lamb's website.Head on over to my website! What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

Trump shifts his position on the Iran war so often that it sure looks like he is using the same propaganda technique that Putin uses with abandon: Flood people with contradictory stories to confuse and exhaust them so they'll just tune out. That could be helpful for a commander–in-chief running a failed military campaign. At the same time, the only engagement the administration seems to want is from the online world—which they use to create an alternate reality. Plus, Russia is not winning the war in Ukraine and does not know how to, much of Trump's immigration policy is about performative cruelty, political oppression still continues in Venezuela, Kari Lake has a new gig, and new selections for the Anne Applebaum book club.

DOCKET ALERTS:   War Powers Resolution fails in both Houses of Congress.   DHS is ramping up for an immigration surge in Maryland and has purchased an 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Hagerstown. The state is suing to block the facility on environmental grounds. In Baltimore, Judge Julie Rubin joins judges in New York and Los Angeles in holding that ICE is systematically violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants in "temporary" detention by holding them for days on end without hygiene, medical care, or access to counsel.   Kalshi customers have filed a class action suit over the company's refusal to pay out on bets — oops, we mean CONTRACT SWAPS — that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would leave office as Supreme Leader of Iran before March 1.   Trump continues to defy the Constitution's requirement that he get Senate approval for principal officers. We discussed it in our post on Judge Lamberth holding that Kari Lake was never legally serving as head of the US Agency for Global Media, and thus her directives are null and void. And Judge Matthew Brann has ruled once again that Attorney General Pam Bondi can't evade senate confirmation for the US Attorney in New Jersey — no, not even if she spreads the appointment out among three lawyers, not just one.    And we'll talk about the Trump administration's humiliating U-turn as it tries to un-dismiss the appeal in the case of the executive orders targeting law firms, as well as Anthropic's complaint against the government.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Lots of legal news out of US Agency for Global Media, the parent agency for Voice of America. Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that Kari Lake was never legally appointed CEO of USAGM, and thus her orders shutting the sub-agencies down and firing all the employees were null and void. The government appealed, but in the sloppiest way possible. Now the agency is getting sued again for violating the firewall protecting journalistic independence, forcing the networks to air AI slop praising Trump. But Kari Lake has an answer for that, and it is to call the judge a fatso.   Judges in the District of New Jersey have appointed longtime prosecutor Robert Frazer as US Attorney. And so far, Attorney General Bondi hasn't fired him.   Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee, seems disinclined to put an end to Trump's trollsuits right out of the gate. He's allowing the case against the BBC to proceed to discovery. And he dismissed the complaint against Capital One for tortious debanking, but allowed Trump 90 days to conduct discovery and refile.   MAIN SHOW:   We've got an update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The government says it has to send him to Liberia (where he does not agree to go) instead of Costa Rica (where he does agree to go) because Secretary Marco Rubio spent a lot of time negotiating with Liberia to take Abrego, and it would be so embarrassing not to send him there.   And we'll break down the Supreme Court's recent decision in Olivier v. City of Brandon, a case involving a truly obnoxious street preacher that implicates your right to sue the government.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:    The Trump administration is suing Harvard under Title VI, claiming that the school failed to protect Jewish students and must forfeit billions.   Widakuswara v.

Through sharp political analysis and a dose of irony, Alex explores how loyalty has increasingly become the defining currency in modern political appointments—often outweighing institutional experience or diplomatic expertise. The episode examines what this nomination says about America's evolving approach to governance, diplomacy, and the rewards system inside Washington.

Inflation Jumps 3.8%. Trump Disapproval on Economy Hits 70%! Senator McConnell is Not Well. Osborn Leads Ricketts in Nebraska. Mendoza Gives Trump the Stiff-arm. Kari Lake Appointed Ambassador to Jamaica!?  It's Testimony Tuesday and the corruption is on full display. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are on the Hill asking Congress for $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon — a Christmas tree budget designed to bankroll the unauthorized Iran war and whatever comes next, whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba. Buried in the same hearing: the Pentagon's own CFO admitting the Iran tab is now $29 billion and counting, $4 billion more than Americans were told. Gas is up, beef is up, tomatoes are up 40%, inflation just hit a five-year high, and 70% of the country disapproves of Trump on the economy. The pigs are at the trough and the rest of us are getting screwed. Paul breaks down why the December defense vote is the real fight, why Hegseth's open defiance of Congress on Ukraine aid is impeachment-grade, and why FBI Director Crash Patel spending his testimony defending his sobriety is not a sign of a healthy republic. He hits the Mitch McConnell mid-hearing meltdown — fitness, not age, is the metric — calls out Kari Lake being shipped to Jamaica, flags Dan Osborn pulling ahead of Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and closes with the people stepping up to be the vaccine: nurses on International Nurses Day, Ukrainian medics under shellfire, and the new Astronauts for America.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday energized and with receipts. The FBI is now actively interviewing CIA officials as part of the Brennan investigation into the 2017 Russian intelligence assessment, and Jon plays a recent Brennan clip where the man openly admits to knowing about a "legion" of professionals inside the government still working against Trump. Jon flags it as potential RICO furtherance on tape. The DOJ also officially warned reporters they should expect subpoenas in the classified Iran war leaks investigation, with the Wall Street Journal already having received them. Jon reads newly released Senate committee documents showing Hunter Biden Mann Act evidence including text messages, goes live down a rabbit hole when he notices the name "Robert" in one exchange, and arrives somewhere interesting. Kari Lake is being sent to Jamaica as ambassador and Doug Mastriano to the Slovak Republic, and Jon sees a familiar template: Trump takes big election integrity figures, parks them in ambassadorships, and they disappear from the conversation. Also: the California mayor who just pleaded guilty to being a Chinese spy is named Wang, Stacey Abrams has been subpoenaed in Georgia, ODNI is reviewing 120 US-funded foreign biolabs, and Trump wants Wall Street banned from buying houses.

This weekend, David Waldman met Justice Putnam and his snoozing sous-chef, drove through a tree and interviewed sealions, what more do you want, news? Okay! A firearm was discharged in the vicinity of the Washington Hilton Saturday night. Kari Lake seized the suspect before he could escape. On an adjacent floor, JD Vance immediately evacuated, then was escorted out by secret service agents. Some elderly bystander claimed to have witnessed everything and would have saved everyone too, if he had been allowed to… There then followed a sales presentation for the construction of a competing facility, and Cole Tomas Allen deserves some of that commission. Donald K. Trump of course escaped unharmed, near death as always, and also a ranting, insecure, dotard. His polls will probably go up following this long-awaited pivot. Navy Secretary John Phelan was sending Trump naughty nautical deck pix, but they weren't impressive, so it's Hung Cao time! Hung is afraid that witches are overtaking the nation! Well, they caught the guy who was betting on military raids before they happened. Prediction markets are completely legit now.

President Trump said talks with Iran over ending the war have been productive. Humeyra Pamuk of Reuters joins to discuss whether that means a diplomatic resolution is close. A group of employees at Voice of America are suing the government, alleging that Trump official Kari Lake spread pro-Trump propaganda on air. NPR’s David Folkenflik breaks down the case. Something happened last year for the first time since the Great Depression: More people moved out of the U.S. than into it. The Wall Street Journal’s Drew Hinshaw explains why. Plus, Minnesota sued to gain access to evidence related to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Meta lost a major child-safety lawsuit, and why Mar-a-Lago is turning blue.

Lots of legal news out of US Agency for Global Media, the parent agency for Voice of America. Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that Kari Lake was never legally appointed CEO of USAGM, and thus her orders shutting the sub-agencies down and firing all the employees were null and void. The government appealed, but in the sloppiest way possible. Now the agency is getting sued again for violating the firewall protecting journalistic independence, forcing the networks to air AI slop praising Trump. But Kari Lake has an answer for that, and it is to call the judge a fatso.Judges in the District of New Jersey have appointed longtime prosecutor Robert Frazer as US Attorney. And so far, Attorney General Bondi hasn't fired him.Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee, seems disinclined to put an end to Trump's trollsuits right out of the gate.

Recently a surprising ruling came down from U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth. The Reagan-appointed judge found that Kari Lake - (formerly best known as the loser of two state-wide races in Arizona), had acted unlawfully in running the United States Agency for Global Media, the body that oversees Voice of America and the handful of other government-assisted media outlets.  Kari Lake, wrote the judge "satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution," potentially making all of her actions this past year null and void. Lake, who once described herself to a gaggle of reporters as "your worst fricking nightmare" told NPR that she would appeal the ruling.  Last spring February when Lake started slashing and burning the 80-year old service, Micah spoke to Nicole Hemmer, a historian at Vanderbilt University to learn about the history the VOA.

Today's episode begins with a breakdown of the Justice Department's about-face on four cases brought after Trump targeted several law firms through executive action. As Mary and Andrew discussed last week – they initially dropped their appeal of the decisions against sanctioning these firms, only to reverse course the next day, topped off with a new court filing Friday appealing the rulings. Next, the co-hosts review a pair of decisions: one out of Minnesota's district court concerning the state's immigration surge, which determined the stopping and subsequent arrests of the case's plaintiffs was a result of racial profiling. The second decision comes from U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who ruled Kari Lake's oversight of Voice of America unlawful and illegitimate. Last up, Mary and Andrew detail Attorney General Pam's Bondi's proposed rule that would put any state complaint against a justice department lawyer on hold while the DOJ reviews it, essentially giving the department the power to hold these indefinitely if they so choose. Further reading: Here is Mary's recent piece on MS Now detailing the DOJ's shift on appealing several law firm decisions: What's exposed by the Justice Department's reversal on Trump's campaign against law firms.

They are paid directly to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) via bank ACH. This is a simple fact. Anything else you read or hear is factually incorrect. Importers can negotiate with foreign exporters (suppliers in other countries) to offset tariff costs, such as by securing lower purchase prices, rebates, or other contractual adjustments that effectively shift some financial burden back to the exporter. This is a common business practice in international trade to maintain competitiveness. However, importers cannot directly obtain funds from foreign governments to pay U.S. customs duties (tariffs), as tariffs are a U.S. revenue tool imposed on the importer of record, not on foreign entities. Foreign governments might offer their own exporters subsidies or incentives in response to tariffs, but those don’t flow directly to U.S. importers for tariff payment. https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2013716660046213357?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2013984150835888368?s=20   By The Numbers… Trump’s (Second) First Year In 10 Charts    Since President Trump took office in January 2025, stock indexes have reached new highs.   Economic Growth After a 0.6 percent contraction in the first quarter, U.S. economic growth accelerated and exceeded economists' expectations in 2025, avoiding a feared recession. GDP grew by 3.8 percent in Q2 and 4.3 percent in Q3—the strongest performance in two years.   Inflation Inflation reached 9.1 percent in 2022, the highest level in decades. Although consumer prices remained elevated through 2025, inflation rates were lower than those recorded during the Biden administration.   Trade Despite the trade deficit widening in the first three months of 2025 as businesses rushed to front-run President Donald Trump's global tariffs, America's monthly trade balance has improved substantially.   Employment Since last summer, the U.S. labor market has been characterized by what some economists call “low fire, low hire,” with companies neither reducing nor expanding their workforce.   Gas Prices One of the major achievements of the Trump administration has been the substantial decline in gas prices. From record production to loosening regulations, businesses and consumers have seen lower energy costs.   Mortgage Rates When President Donald Trump started his second term at the White House, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was around 7 percent. Since then, it has fallen significantly, even temporarily sliding below 6 percent for the first time in more than three years.       Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2013708284016886078?s=20 President Trump won’t need Congress if he can have funds they’ve already appropriated distributed as “tariff dividends” by reframing the payments so they fit within the allocated budget.

The footage was posted to X on Tuesday morning. The video sheds light on the underground business of smuggling illegals into the US, helping them get jobs and bribing immigration judges to rule in their favor. A woman identified as Patricia “Pat” Golder claimed in the video that she takes some of the money given to West African migrants in exchange for her bribing judges to rule in their favor. An undercover reporter was introduced to Golder by a woman named Cindy Reis. “She gets them their papers. She does,” Reis told the reporter as she introduced him to Patricia Golder. “He knows about Mulberry Street.” “I try to work with them the best I can,” Golder said. Golder told the reporter that some of the migrants “have papers” and some don't. She said she helps the illegals get jobs but would not name the companies because of “the threat of ICE.” Later on in the video, Golder discloses that she visits judges at bars and restaurants. “If I can get to the judge. You know, that's the only person you want to talk to is the judge,” Golder says with a smile on her face. “Wait, say that again?” the reporter said. “If I can get to the judge it's okay. I make conversation with them,” Golder said. “If the judge says, “Yeah, Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you,” she said. “I go to the bar like everybody drink. Spot the judge. I say, ‘You work on this date?' He's like, ‘let me see my calendar'…give me my $50G's,” she said. “The judge says that?” the reporter asked in disbelief.
