Badlands Daily: 9/23/26 - Chris Murphy's Loneliness Cure, Greenland Bases & Trump's UN Blitz

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.
