It's Nicole Sandler here, guest hosting the BradCast on another busy news day in Trump's Amerikkka.

Alex Acosta resigned, Mueller’s testimony is postponed, Barry is bearing down on New Orleans. And the president held a Troll Summit in the White House. We cover those stories and more on today’s show.

With Barry set to make landfall as perhaps a Category 1 hurricane in Louisiana Friday night or Saturday morning, I reached out to an old friend --- HARRY SHEARER. In addition to his vast body of television and film work, books and albums, Harry made a documentary a few years back called The Big Uneasy, which explores why New Orleans flooded during Hurricane Katrina.

Yesterday, the White House hosted a bunch of internet trolls for an event they called a Social Media Summit… BRIAN KAREM, senior WH reporter for Playboy and a CNN political analyst, got into a slight kerfuffle with none other than Sebastian Gorka in the Rose Garden. Karem joins us to explain what happened and talk about the oddity that is the White House press office.

Enjoy!...
