It’s NICOLE SANDLER<\/a>, guest hosting another edition of The BradCast<\/i><\/a>, and we have a busy show today.<\/p>\n

My first guest is author, professor and journalist JEFF SHARLET<\/strong> (author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power<\/em><\/a>). He went to a bunch of Trump rallies so you don’t have to. Sharlet explains what he learned in Vanity Fair<\/em>‘s “He’s the Chosen One to Run America: Inside the Cult of Trump, His Rallies Are Church and He Is the Gospel<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

We also check in with my old friend and radio colleague, JACK RICE<\/a><\/strong>. He’s a former CIA officer who I wanted to speak with about the Russia bounty for dead American soldiers in Afghanistan. He has a unique perspective on the story.<\/p>\n

Jack is also a criminal defense attorney who lives in Minneapolis, about 10 blocks from where George Floyd was killed. And he’s representing someone who was arrested for pulling down a statue of Columbus.<\/p>\n

Which leads us to an op-ed that appeared in the Sunday NY Times<\/em>, written by a poet named Caroline Randall Williams<\/a>. I ended the show with a reading of her devastating words that everyone should read titled “You Want a Confederate Monument? My Body Is a Confederate Monument<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
