I’ve seen a lot in my life, but today may be the most insane news day I’ve ever seen, or certainly attempted to cover in a single episode of The BradCast. Among the stories we cover today, all from with the past 18 hours or so [audio link to show follows below.]…
- President Obama’s moving farewell address in Chicago last night;
- ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson’s troubling first day of confirmation hearings as Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State;
- Testimony from members of the Congressional Black Caucus — including from Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and from civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) — against the disturbing civil rights and voting rights record of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Trump’s nominee for Attorney General on the second day of his confirmation hearings;
- Trump’s first press conference since last July, among record low approval ratings, a shower of bizarre, if unsubstantiated allegations against him concerning claims that he has been compromised both personally and financially by Russia, and his announcement that he will not divest his business holdings before becoming President, despite unprecedented conflicts of interest;
- Plus: Listener calls on all of the above and Desi Doyen with the latest Green News Report!
And, yes, you may need to rinse off after today’s show. I know I do.
