You’ll be shocked to hear on today’s BradCast about the completely predictable blow-back from the GOP after Hillary Clinton displayed the temerity to call for restoring and even expanding voting rights for all American citizens 18 years of age and older. (As we covered in depth on yesterday’s BradCast.) Yes, Republicans really do not care for democracy, apparently.
And, yes, a new Progressive Age is dawning, whether you’ve realized it or not — even as “conservatism” is quickly disappearing. (Which also explains why Republicans hate democracy.)
Speaking of the dawning of a new Progressive Age, former Ohio state prosecutor Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project joins us to discuss this week’s remarkable “Marijuana Vote-a-Rama” in Congress, and the Republicans and Democrats who are finally coming on board to end the government tyranny and prohibition. A fascinating discussion of where we’ve been, where we now are and how we got here.
Plus: A very moving — and ironic — lesson one blogger improbably learned via Caitlyn Jenner…
The only way I could convince myself of an impending progressive dawn is if I could start smoking weed again legally or otherwise.
That was by far, the best interview I’ve ever heard about my favorite weed. Plus, since I started smoking when I was seventeen, I now know what happened to me. 🙂
We’ve got to get Dan Riffle on the Diane Rehm Show! I’m going to send a letter to NPR.
My letter to the Diane Rehm program:
There have been some very interesting votes concerning marijuana laws lately. I just heard a great interview with Dan Riffle of the “Marijuana Policy Project”. This guy knows about this issue and would be perfect for your show.
Listen to the interview here: https://bradblog.com/?p=11212
Have been listening Diane’s great show for years. What a great place to learn!
Hopefully Diane Rehm’s staff will have Brad on the next time they talk about election issues!
