As you might guess, on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> we are forced to cover super-spreader Donald Trump’s bout with COVID-19, as it appears he has helped to infect at least<\/i> a dozen other high profile officials in both the White House and U.S. Senate and members of the White House press corps<\/a>. [Audio link to full show is posted below summary.<\/i>]\n

As we began the show, he was still being treated at Walter Reed Medical Center, though had already cavalierly announced<\/a> his plans to head back to the White House after a manic, likely steroid-induced Twitter storm<\/a> this morning. By the end of the show, he had arrived back at the People’s House after enjoying many days in a row of free, tax-payer funded healthcare, despite infrequently paying any<\/a> federal income taxes at all. <\/p>\n

For about half of today’s program, we open the show to listener calls. And we had some great ones, including the one which inspired today’s headline above, and the final one — a Republican woman from San Diego who accuses me of “not having [my] facts straight”. Sadly, she called too late in the show for me to really<\/i> enjoy the call as I might have otherwise. Still, it was a nice closer for today.<\/p>\n

Before that, we review some of the many lies, obfuscations an evasions<\/a> from Trump’s White House physician Dr. Sean Conley, and the ongoing questions about the seriousness of the President’s condition, given the “kitchen sink” of treatments — experimental or otherwise — that he has been given, some of which are supposed to be used only for severely or critically ill patients. So, is Trump severely or critically ill? If so, why he he’s going “home” already? If not, why was he given so many extraordinary treatments?<\/p>\n

Then there is the matter of putting his Secret Service contingent at risk<\/a> (along with their families) on Sunday by his appalling little drive-by for supporters outside Walter Reed on Sunday. <\/p>\n

How many more Americans will Donald Trump kill or make sick before his disastrous tenure as President is brought to a merciful end (with more than 210,000 already killed<\/a> and nearly 7 and a half million infected in this country — zero of whom that have received the same extraordinary care and attention he has, so far.)<\/p>\n

So, how much should Trump’s doctors be believed? How will all of this affect the already-ongoing Presidential election? Will the two more scheduled Presidential Debates happen as scheduled? Will any of this serve to slow down or block<\/a> the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation process in the U.S. Senate of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the seat left vacant by progressive icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg now that at least three GOP Senators have contracted the virus, apparently via the Rose Garden event announcing Barrett’s nomination a week ago Saturday?<\/p>\n

All of those questions (and many others) asked and\/or answered on today’s very<\/i> lively program!…<\/p>\n
