December 23 is the holiday known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Festivus\">Festivus<\/a>. One of the ways of celebrating Festivus is with an &#8220;airing of grievances,&#8221; something I was able to put into practice with both of today&#8217;s guests.<\/p>\n<p>My first guest is 2020 Democratic hopeful <a href=\"https:\/\/TomSteyer.com\"><b>TOM STEYER<\/b><\/a>. I was given ten minutes with him on Friday, the day after the last debate. Ever since he threw his hat in the ring last summer, I&#8217;ve been critical of his plans to spend $100 million on what I perceive as a quixotic, ego stroking campaign, and have suggested that he use that money to build a progressive media center so our voices can be heard on the public airwaves again. I used our ten minutes together to tell him exactly what I thought; to air my grievances, as it were.<\/p>\n<p>My second guest is former Congressman <b>ALAN GRAYSON<\/b> of Florida. He and I used to be friendly acquaintances. That all ended four years ago when I called him out on the air for his endorsement of Hillary Clinton while Bernie Sanders was still in the race. Grayson released a new book last week, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/impeachbook.com\">High Crimes: The Impeachment of Donald Trump<\/a><\/em>. Of course we talked quite a bit about the book and about Trump, but not before I aired my grievances with him over the way we left things four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So, Happy Festivus and Happy Chanukkah&#8230; and stay tuned, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years celebrations are just around the corner.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><b><a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/BradCast_NicoleSandler_TomSteyer_AlanGrayson_122319.mp3\">Download MP3<\/a> or listen online below&#8230; <\/i><\/b><br \/>\n[audio:http:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/BradCast_NicoleSandler_TomSteyer_AlanGrayson_122319.mp3]<\/blockquote>\n<p><center><b>* * *<\/b><\/center><i>While we post <a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/BradCast\"><\/i>The BradCast<i><\/a> here every day, and you can hear it across all of our great affiliate stations and websites, to automagically get new episodes as soon as they&#8217;re available sent right to your computer or personal device, subscribe for free at <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/id803467610\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pandora.com\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/PC:1000025838\">Pandora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/radio\/The-BradCast-with-Brad-Friedman-p477565\/\">TuneIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9icmFkYmxvZy5jb20vcG9kY2FzdGdlbi9icmFkY2FzdC9mZWVkLnhtbA\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-BradCast-w-Brad-Friedman\/dp\/B08JJRN86R\/ref=sr_1_1\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/podcastgen\/bradcast\/feed.xml\">our native RSS feed<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On today&#8217;s BradCast, it&#8217;s guest host NICOLE SANDLER with a new take on a holiday tradition.
