It's NICOLE SANDLER, back again to guest host the BradCast. We start the show as usual, by bringing everyone up to speed on the latest news concerning the impeachment inquiry into the president.
I promised I'd provide links to the pages of text messages turned over to Congress by Kurt Volker, and to Volker's opening statement as delivered yesterday. So, just click!
I have two fascinating guests today. First up, JENNY BROWN, author of Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now, on the day the Supreme Court announced that they'll hear an abortion rights case this term.
Then, I speak with author and non-profit advisor DOUG WHITE about his new book, Wounded Charity: Lessons Learned from the Wounded Warriors Project Crisis.

It's NICOLE SANDLER, still manning the guest host desk for Brad and Desi at the BradCast.
The news is breaking at warp speed. I open the show with a recap of what's happened since the last BradCast, and there's a lot!
My guest today is MARCY WHEELER from Emptywheel.net who explained how Attorney General Bill Barr is implicated in Trump's efforts to solicit help from foreign leaders to damage his political opponents. And it's not only Barr, but Pompeo, Pence, Giuliani and even Lindsey Graham!
Plus, I'll share an amazing essay from John Pavlovitz titled, "I’m Not The Radical Left, I’m The Humane Middle."
And because we need it and deserve it, we end the show with some levity, courtesy of the always brilliant Randy Rainbow.

It's NICOLE SANDLER, still holding down the fort at the BradCast for Brad and Desi.
As you know, it's been an insane few weeks in the news. I begin each show with an update on the latest from Trumpland and Impeachment World. Today, we witnessed a Trump meltdown that started with presidential profanity on Twitter in the wee hours of the morning, and continued through two media moments with the president of Finland looking on, horrified!
We had two great guests today. I wanted to get a whistleblower's take on what's happening, so I reached out to JOHN KIRIAKOU, who served 23 months in prison for blowing the whistle on the US torture program during the Bush years, who brings a unique perspective to the story. He's written three great books on his experience.
Then, I went the academic route, and called on HARVEY J. KAYE, author and professor of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, to get his thoughts on this moment in history.

It's NICOLE SANDLER in the BradCast guest host seat again today, filling in for Brad and Desi. Since there's so much breaking each day, we begin with an update on the latest news in the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry! Both Mike Pompeo and Bill Barr are in it up to their eyeballs!
My first guest is D.D. GUTTENPLAN, editor of The Nation. We discussed his new article, "We Don’t Have to Choose Between Warren and Sanders Yet," a topic I'm obsessed with these days.
But, with impeachment looming, if Trump is removed from office, Mike Pence is first in line to become president. Or he could be implicated along with the rest of this administration. Either way, he's an interesting topic, and the focus of the new book from veteran journalist TOM LOBIANCO called Piety and Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House.
