On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, after a few words on some important California ballot propositions (on a statewide plastic bag ban, and a dangerous tax on safe e-cigarette and vaping devices) that we didn’t get to discuss on yesterday’s show<\/a>, I make a startling admission! [Audio link to show is posted below.<\/i>]\n

My admission: As much as I cover the elections, especially the Presidential election, while I know who I won’t<\/em> vote for, and who I probably would<\/i> vote for if I lived in a swing-state, I have no clue who I should actually cast my vote for in the Presidential race this year here in California!<\/i> I don’t endorse candidates (and, both the FCC and Pacifica Radio wouldn’t allow it anyway), but that doesn’t mean listeners can’t! So, today we open the phone lines for advice from callers, with the question: “Who should I vote for and why?”<\/p>\n

You’ll be shocked to learn that listeners have a few thoughts for me on that. Tons of callers ring in, with some good advice, some really bad advice, and a very lively and hopefully helpful hour of The BradCast<\/i> ensues in the bargain. (You may — or may not — be amazed at some of the reasons a few listeners offer to convince me that I should vote for Trump.) Please feel free to ring in with your own answers to that question in comments below, if you’re inclined.<\/p>\n

Finally today: Desi Doyen joins us for the latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a>, and a sad follow-up to it with news of more tragic fossil fuel deaths in both the U.S. and China this week…<\/p>\n
