Tick-tock. Time is running out for all of the Trump scams, as detailed on today’s BradCast. Unless, of course, he wins on November 5th — or has more success stealing the Presidential election this year than he did in 2020. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.]

Among the Trump scams, rackets and accountability for having fallen for them on today’s program…

  • You know about many of Donald Trump‘s legendarily failed rackets from the old days: Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Vodka, Trump Casinos, just to name a few. More recently, during the time he’s been running for President again, there’s been Trump Sneakers, Trump Bibles, Trump Digital Trading Cards, Trump Coins, Trump Cryptocurrency and, introduced just last Friday, “Swiss-made” Trump Watches. He’s selling them for $100,000 a pop! Even though, according to experts, they appear to be Chinese-made crap, if they even exist, and appear just as likely to be an open invitation to foreign influence peddling and money laundering. We explain.
  • All of the above enumerated rackets, by the way, are private rackets. Any profits from them do not go to his Presidential Campaign, but straight into Donald Trump‘s pocket. And so — according to the new 165-page filing [PDF] by Special Counsel Jack Smith, unsealed by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Wednesday afternoon — was Trump’s attempt to steal the 2020 election. New evidence in the filing from prosecutors in his 4-count federal indictment in D.C., further details how the disgraced former President and convicted felon was fully aware that he’d lost the election in 2020, but didn’t care. He was going to fight to steal it anyway. He also knew he had put Vice President Mike Pence‘s life in grave danger on January 6th, 2021. His response: “So, what?” And all of that, as prosecutors argue in their brief, was done in Trump’s capacity as a private candidate for office. It was not done as part of his official duties as President. Smith’s motion is meant to make that case in hopes of preventing the corrupted U.S. Supreme Court from dismissing the case on the basis of their absurd, anti-American, anti-Constitutional, made-up-from-whole-cloth ruling in Trump v. U.S. declaring criminal immunity to sitting Presidents for crimes committed as part of their “official” duties.
  • In Colorado today, a state judge unleashed a brutal, if accurate, take-down of disgraced former Mesa County Clerk, Tina Peters during her sentencing hearing. Once a MAGA superstar, she is now a convicted felon on charges related to a criminal scheme to breach voting system software in her own County, based on false claims that fraud software was implanted in them to flip votes from Trump to Biden in 2020. The judge told Peters today: “I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen. You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan.” He called out her continuing claims of evidence-free fraud as “just more lies. No objective person believes them. No, at the end of the day, you cared about the jets, the podcasts and people fawning over you.” He then sentenced her to nine years in prison before she was handcuffed and hauled out of the courtroom to immediately begin serving her time. See ya, Tina! May she be the first of many.
  • Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for our latest Green News Report, as the deadly disaster in six states continues to unfold in the U.S. Southeast following Hurricane Helene, which at least succeeded in finally helping to bring the issue of climate change to the top of Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate between Democrat Tim Walz and Republican J.D. Vance

    “Tick-tock. Time is running out for all of the Trump scams…”

    It is also running out for the dynamics of the growth of that cultural virus.

    The population of infected citizens is growing, so an antidote is necessary.

    Since we are number one in oil production now, and by extension number one in enhancing climate change, the root cultural virus must be identified posthaste (The Authoritarianism of Climate Change).

    I sure didn’t expect to see this as the top headline in The Salt Lake Tribune today:

    “‘We risk losing everything’: Utah’s top elections official worries about threats ‘vigilantes’ pose to voting
    Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson encourages Utahns to ‘doubt the doubters’ ahead of the 2024 election.”

    Nothing about Greg Palast in the article, but after threats and mayhem in Utah’s elections carried out by nitwits over the last few years it looks like we’ve hit a tipping point.

    It’s about time!

    I believe Joe Biden should use his new authority from the supreme court to declare an official act to just let people vote legally without any interference from hooligans.
