On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> [audio link posted below<\/i>], the historic<\/a> nomination of Hillary Clinton for President of the United States on Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, as Dems continue to seek unity in a still-fractured party, Republican nominee Donald Trump calls for<\/a> Russia to hack and publicly release emails from Clinton’s time as Sec. of State, and the latest data-based prediction from FiveThirtyEight.com<\/a> finds Trump with a 55% likelihood of winning the Presidency<\/b>, compared to Clinton’s 45%, if the election were held today.<\/p>\n

With all of that history and madness in mind, we turn to calls from listeners on all of the above. Many (though not all) say they still refuse to vote Clinton, despite Bernie Sanders’ plea for them to do so. Others argue why Clinton (and even Trump) should be elected. Our friend and historian Jon Wiener, of The Nation<\/i><\/a> and Pacifica Radio’s<\/a> KPFK<\/a> also calls in to (somewhat) refute FiveThirtyEight’s prediction, and I do my best to challenge everyone<\/em> to support their positions.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, it was a very<\/em> lively caller segment today.<\/p>\n

We then finish up with Desi Doyen and the Green News Report’s<\/i><\/a> wrap up of last week’s Republican convention in Cleveland (including a fact-check on Trump’s promise to burn much more coal), and new data on more record heat across the globe…<\/p>\n
