    'BradCast' 2/28/2025 (Encore: Former DOJ prosecutor Randall D. Eliason on Trump's 'Thursday Afternoon Massacre'; Debunking Trump's Ukraine lies)

    Encore: original airdate 2-19-2025. On today's 'BradCast':  Donald Trump unleashed a wave of blatant lies about Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelenskyy and US funding to help the war-torn democratic nation defend itself against Russia's invasion. Trump appears to be taking the side of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin against Ukraine and our longtime European allies. At least nine senior Justice Department prosecutors have resigned rather than carry out improper orders by the Trump Administration, including a directive to engage in an unlawful quid-pro-quo by dismissing a corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Veteran federal prosecutor RANDALL D. ELIASON explains the case, the controversy, why the resignations are an 'earth-shattering event' for the Justice Department, and what it means for the criminal justice system going forward.

    'BradCast' 2/27/2025 (Defending the Free Press from White House, Bezos Attacks, with media critic Dan Froomkin)

    On today's 'BradCast':  For all their failures, the corporate mainstream media is critically important and deserves defending when press freedom is under attack by the Trump White House. CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale provides an invaluable service in debunking Donald Trump's copious lies. Washington Post debunked the lies of Trump Veterans Affairs Sec. Doug Collins, resulting in the VA reversing mass layoffs and cancelled contracts with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Media critic and WaPo veteran DAN FROOMKIN, publisher of the non-profit Press Watch, discusses the disturbing, ongoing attacks on press freedom by the White House and billionaire media owners like Jeff Bezos. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

    'BradCast' 2/26/2025 (The Ongoing Government Waste, Fraud and Abuse by Trump, Musk and the DOGE Bros)

    On today's 'BradCast':  Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gaslighting the nation, as their DOGE Bros unlawfully cancel contracts and lay off workers, pretending to cut waste, fraud and abuse while failing to find any actual evidence of any fraud or abuse (other than their own), and lying about it to the public. Federal contractor Musk awarded his own company, SpaceX, a massive new federal contract with the FAA. Musk also called for impeaching judges who rule against the Trump Administration. Trump's EPA is trying to roll back the scientific 'endangerment finding' on climate change that provides the legal foundation underpinning federal climate policies and regulations. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report'.

    'BradCast' 2/25/2025 (Guest: Jonathan Simon on February 28th 'Economic Blackout' protest; Bad Day for Elon Musk)

    On today's 'BradCast':   The Trump/Musk DOGE Bro Coup appears to be generating rising blowback. Federal employees at the U.S. Digital Service (renamed U.S. DOGE Service) have resigned in protest, refusing to use their skills to 'compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services.' In Europe, sales of Elon Musk's Tesla cars have crashed due to Musk's support of far-right extremist political parties. In the U.S., new surveys show consumer confidence has cratered in the wake of Trump's tariff and trade war threats. JONATHAN SIMON, of non-profit news outlet Who What Why, explains the 24-hour 'Economic Blackout' on Feb. 28 - - a day to purchase nothing as part a national grassroots protest against Donald Trump and Musk's dismantling of the federal government, by demonstrating the power of American consumers to impact the economy.

    'BradCast' 2/24/2025 (Why Does Trump Want to Destroy the Federal Government? What's in it for him? Callers ring in...)

    On today's 'BradCast':  Donald Trump's top campaign donor, billionaire Elon Musk, and his team of DOGE Bros have escalated their rampage across the federal government, dismantling the non-partisan civil service and hollowing out key federal agencies, which conveniently halts oversight of Musk's government contracts and regulated businesses. But what's in it for Trump?  Mountains of evidence show that Musk is lying and is not cutting 'waste, fraud and abuse.'  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Trump Administration is focused on 'reprivatizing the economy,' as outlined in the Project 2025 manifesto. By why does Trump want to seemingly dismantle seemingly every federal agency? Callers weigh in.

    'BradCast' 2/21/2025 (Encore: DOJ's Thursday Afternoon Massacre; Global Health Hazard Becomes U.S. Health Chief)

    Encore: original airdate 2-13-2025. On today's 'BradCast':  The Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) resigned after refusing an order from Trump's Dept. of Justice to unlawfully drop a corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. A federal district judge blocked the Trump Administration's unlawful attempt to purge the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which protects whistleblowers. Mass firings of federal workers have reportedly begun. Senate Republicans confirmed health menace Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Sec. of Health and Human Services, granting the longtime anti-vax conspiracist oversight of the nation's public health agencies. A new measles outbreak is sickening dozens of unvaccinated children in Texas. Samoa's chief medical officer charges that Kennedy lied during his Senate hearings about his involvement in a deadly measles epidemic in 2019. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

    'BradCast' 2/20/2025 (Guest: Media critic Jamison Foser on 'fights' worth having; Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director)

    On today's 'BradCast': Cowardly Senate Republicans confirmed wildly unqualified Trump lackey and MAGA merchandiser, Kash Patel, for a ten-year term as FBI Director, despite Patel repeatedly pleading the 5th numerous times to avoid incriminating himself in crimes during his confirmation hearing. The Trump White House violated the First Amendment rights and free press protections of the Associated Press when it banned the international media organization until it agrees to call the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America.' Media critic JAMISON FOSER discusses why it's important to fight back against authoritarians even on seemingly 'small' issues, to ignore those who try to police which fights are worth waging in the Trump Era and which are not, and much more. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
