    'BradCast' 12/19/2024 (Trump Gets Trumped in Our Musky End-of-Year Roundtable, with Heather Digby Parton of Salon, 'Driftglass' of 'Pro Left Podcast')

    On today's 'BradCast': It's beginning to look a lot like failure everywhere you look in D.C., as House Republicans obeyed clueless, unelected rightwing billionaire Elon Musk's orders to reject a critical government funding bill, pushing the nation closer to a costly, destabilizing government shutdown. Donald Trump pretended it was all his idea. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS,' of the Professional Left Podcast, join us for a roundtable discussion on what the resurgence of Republican chaos means for the nation, Elon's buffoonery and Trump's weakness, consequences and dangers ahead, what they are worried about/hopeful for in the coming year, and much more.

DOUGLAS discusses Trump's threats to undermine U.S. election laws and voting rights, and actions you can take to protect and defend voting rights, election security, and our democracy.

    'BradCast' 12/17/2024 (Trump Family Corruption Cometh...But So Does Our Opposition)

    On today's 'BradCast':  The Biden Administration's FTC finalized a new rule banning hidden junk fees on tickets and hotels. Donald Trump's nominee for FTC chair voted against it.

    'BradCast' 12/16/2024 (Mis-tallied Contests Discovered in Ohio County; Oligarchy Rises in U.S.)

    On today's 'BradCast':  A hand-count of the 2024 election in Ohio last week uncovered that three county-level races were mis-tallied, flipping their results. On Tuesday, all 50 states will report their Electoral College votes, without holding publicly-overseen hand-counts or audits strongly recommended by cybersecurity and voting system experts. Former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty to lying and peddling disinformation given to him by Russian intelligence that falsely accused Joe Biden and his son Hunter of taking bribes. Donald Trump's cabinet nominees are collectively the wealthiest in U.S. history as America slides further in oligarchy. Big Tech CEOs each donated $1 million tributes to Trump, and ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to settle Trump's defamation lawsuit against an accurately reported story. Both are widely seen as payments to dissuade the Trump Administration from abusing power to go after their core businesses. Callers weigh in.

    'BradCast' 12/13/2024 (Encore: Failed coup in South Korea; Attempted power-grab in NC)

    Encore: original airdate 12-3-2024. On today's 'BradCast':  Democracy is under attack again. The rightwing president of South Korea attempted a power grab, declaring martial law and attempting to shut down the country's National Assembly, but his self-coup was stopped by quick action and fierce opposition from lawmakers and the public - - providing lessons for Americans in the years ahead. In North Carolina, the Republican-controlled state legislature has launched a power grab before they lose their heavily-gerrymandered supermajority, trying to ram through new laws stripping incoming Democratic statewide office-holders of authority and giving it to themselves. A Wisconsin judge struck down a GOP legislature power grab that stripped public sector workers of their collective bargaining rights. Minnesota Republicans want a do-over election in state house race narrowly won by a Democrat. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

    'BradCast' 12/12/2024 (Trump admits he can't lower grocery prices; Biden commutes 1,500 sentences)

    On today's 'BradCast':  President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of some 1,500 people in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern U.S. history. The Justice Department's Inspector General issued a new report finding that that no undercover FBI employees were involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, completely debunking Republicans' false claims. During his campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly promised voters that he would 'immediately' lower grocery prices, but now admits he has no actual plan to do so. But Biden Administration FTC chair, Lina Khan, has protected consumers by blocking the proposed merger of grocery giants Kroger and Albertsons, while Trump's FTC nominee vows to abandon Khan's tough standards. North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature used the lame duck session to pass an unprecedented power grab, stripping incoming Democratic statewide office-holders of much of their authority. Happy news about beloved TV legend Dick Van Dyke. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

    'BradCast' 12/11/2024 (Guest: Author, Prof. Julia R. Azari on Presidential 'mandates')

    On today's 'BradCast':  Wisconsin state prosecutors added ten new felony charges to Donald Trump's accomplices who carried out the 2020 election fake electors scheme. The Franklin Fire in Malibu, CA continues to rage, exacerbated by climate change. FBI Director Christopher Wray says he will resign when Trump takes office, sparking concerns that he is 'obeying in advance.'  Trump barely won a plurality in the 2024 election -- not even a majority -- but he and Republicans falsely insist he has a 'mandate'.  JULIA AZARI, Professor of Political Science at Marquette University, an expert on presidential mandates, explains the history and context of 'mandate claiming'; how it has changed over the years; the many impacts on policy and presidential power and governance arising from such claims; how the media should respond no matter who makes them, and much more.
