Badlands Daily: 10/16/26 - Impeachment Witness Fallout, Ukraine Intel & California Driver Licenses

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Badlands Daily with a packed Friday show. They open with a chat about AI music and what new creative tools mean for artists, then dig into fresh reporting on impeachment witness Marie Yovanovitch, Burisma and Hunter Biden, and what it says about the case that launched the first impeachment. The guys argue the lesson is simple: the witnesses were never as credible as the press claimed. From there they play the Ed Markey debate clip out of Massachusetts, talk about the war in Ukraine winding down and ask where the intelligence feeding it actually comes from, and run through a set of press secretary clips. Later they cover Jeff Clark and the courts, a Supreme Court clip from Elena Kagan, Jake Tapper and the Biden years, and how much of the news still leans on so-called authoritative sources. Before the close they look at early race numbers and California driver licenses, then preview the weekend lineup across Badlands Media. Grab a coffee and settle in.
