On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, I (Angie Coiro) am sitting in for Brad and Desi! <\/p>\n

My guest is CHRIS HEDGES<\/b> — yes, that<\/i> Chris Hedges — journalist, minister, prison instructor, war correspondent. We talk about his new book, America, the Farewell Tour<\/i><\/a>. It’s a conversation recorded for my own show, In Deep with Angie Coiro<\/i><\/a>; the excerpts here are kind of a sneak preview, as the whole thing hasn’t been edited for the In Deep<\/i> stations yet.<\/p>\n

A vote on the Kavanaugh nomination will at least momentarily take a back seat to a Senate hearing on the sexual assault accusation against him. In my commentary on why I believe her and not him, I mention Lisa Graves<\/a>, a long-time campaigner for truth and integrity in public processes. The two on-point columns of hers you must read are “Brett Kavanaugh Can’t Be Trusted. We Know Because We Worked as Counsel to Senators When He Was in the Bush White House”<\/a> for Time magazine, and “I Wrote Some of the Stolen Memos That Brett Kavanaugh Lied to the Senate About”<\/a> for Slate, the latter of which she discussed with Brad on a recent BradCast<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In short: we have a man with an established track record of lying, documented by a reliable source; and a woman who fought to keep her anonymity, who knew her suffering would be for naught, whose life now will be damaged irreparably. I know who I believe.<\/p>\n

Brad and Des are back tomorrow. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n
