Badlands Daily: 9/25/26 - Ohio Citizenship Ruling, Sheriff Bianco Blocked & Trump Meets Xi
Description
CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Sixth Circuit ruling on Ohio requiring proof of citizenship at the BMV, and a genuinely good discussion about whether asking someone to prove eligibility counts as the minimum information necessary or an undue burden. From there it is a long look at California's Supreme Court siding against Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco in his ballot seizure fight, a showdown between two elected officials that the hosts compare directly to Tina Peters and Jena Griswold. The back half heads overseas, with President Trump showing President Xi the wall of presidents, a Putin and Zelensky update tied to the G20 question, and a fascinating detour into the real history of the Lusitania. They also cover a Virginia software firm arrest with a Russian ownership twist.
