Not Just Whistling Dixie: ‘BradCast’ 9/26/2019

Guest Host Nicole Sandler with the news and David Dayen

It’s Nicole Sandler, in again today for Brad and Desi on the BradCast.

We begin with a recap of the latest news from the last 24 hours, including the release of the whistleblower complaint, and the Acting DNI’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee.

Then, I figured, we could use something to look forward to. So, I spoke with DAVID DAYEN, executive editor of The American Prospect, where they’re running a new series about all the great things a new president could do on Day One — ‘The Day One Agenda’.

    Donald Trump has wished to meet his accuser, the Whistleblower and the person who granted him the information of the call that happened between Donald Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

    Donald Trump over his twitter account said that he be given the chance to meet with the anonymous whistleblower who sounded the alarm over his call with Volodymyr Zelensky in which he asked the Ukrainian president to pursue a corruption investigation into Democratic 2020 front-runnerJoe Biden

    President Donald Trump said in his tweet that,�Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser,� the president tweeted, also threatening executive action against House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff after claiming he misrepresented his words on the offending call of 25 July during a congressional hearing last Thursday in which the acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire was questioned on his handling of the complaint.

    Here are the tweets that Mr. Trump posted, �Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called �Whistleblower,� represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress….In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the �Whistleblower.� Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!�

    If we go through Mr. Trump tweets and his statements that he made on TV, all of them saying one thing that the information that whistleblower possess is wrong, fraudulent, 2nd or 3rd hand information, Here are a few questions that arise, Why is Mr. President so eager to meet his accuser he or she if the information are totally wrong? If the information is wrong why is he worried about it? Why is Mr. Trump calling of civil war if the impeachmentimpeachment thing happens?

    First of all the information that the Whistleblowerwhistleblower possesses doesn�t look wrong, fraudulent or 2nd hand, otherwise Mr. President would not be so impassionate about it. He knows that the Whistleblowerwhistleblower information are real and can lead to his impeachment and that is making him so nervous and worried.

    The second thing that we see now is that Mr. President wants to meet the whistleblower and the person that provided him/her the information. There could be some reasons, either he wants to settle down things with the whistleblower as we all know he is a businessman and businessmen like meetings as we have seen him saying that he believes in meetings. The other reason is self explanatory, few days earlier Donald Trump audio recording in a private event was revealed. In this audio he was saying something about the whistleblower and the person who provided him the information, �You know what we use to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now�.
    If anyone here knows the history then he should be very well aware of the fact that , �the treason and spies were put to death� in old times when Donald Trump used to be smart.
