Badlands Daily: 9/24/26 - Press Credential Ruling, Fake Poll Fallout & Jim Jordan's Seized Records

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with Alpha settling into a brand new studio and a bit of nostalgia about how far both hosts have come from laptops and YETI mics. The news starts with a Trump appointed federal judge temporarily blocking the White House press credential ban, and the hosts take real issue with the constitutional reasoning behind it. That pairs with an Iowa judge tossing the President's suit against a pollster, which leads into a sharp segment on why a firm can run a fake poll to sway an election but not a prediction market. From there they dig into new details on the DOJ seizing Jim Jordan's phone records under a gag order, plus Rand Paul and gain of function documents, Trump on Iran, and economics as a weapon of war. Expect strong opinions and plenty of brotherly ribbing.
