On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, we take a moment of silence to mourn Brad’s late wisdom tooth. But not more than a moment — a lot to cover with your guest host, me — Angie Coiro of In Deep with Angie Coiro<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daphne Eviatar<\/b>, Director of Security with Human Rights at Amnesty International USA<\/a> talks with me about Amnesty’s reactions – both official and emotional – to the announcement of Gina Haspel’s confirmation to head the CIA. No one there is happy, but they’re experienced, ready, and standing by, lest Haspel’s last-minute conversion to an anti-torture stance prove false.<\/p>\n

Throughout the hour we check the news, with stories from Gaza, Washington DC, and the Kushner family’s building at 666 (<--- not kidding) 5th Avenue in Manhattan - which is being bailed out of fiscal failure with a little help from Qatar. Also: ICE loses one in court as a Dreamer wins.\n\nLong-time economic observer Dave Johnson<\/b> explains the genesis, progress, and prognosis for a Federal Jobs Guarantee program.<\/p>\n

A “racism roundup” – a summary of all the videos released the past few weeks showing white people working overtime to keep non-whites and Muslims in line. Finally, neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky<\/b> explores where all that hate and fear come from – it’s all in your brain.<\/p>\n
