It’s now or never. It’s our final BradCast<\/i><\/a> before Election Day 2024 and our last chance to open our phone lines to callers to have their say. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]\n

Either Kamala Harris<\/b> will become the next President of the United States and the first Black, Southeast-Asian American woman to do so, or Donald Trump<\/b>, a 78-year old, 34-time convicted criminal felon, adjudicated rapist and self-proclaimed wannabe-Dictator will. Those are the two choices. <\/p>\n

So today we take a bit of time to make that case to those who are either undecided, planning not to vote at all, or considering voting for a so-called “third-party” candidate.<\/p>\n

To that end, we open up the phones to listeners to make their own such case to other voters. Among those who did so was listener “Maura”, who described herself as being “a Republican and business owner most of my life.” Her argument to those voters is that, while Harris may not be perfect, “voting is a bit like getting on a bus. You have the option to get on a bus or not get on a bus. And if you’re going somewhere, you go to the bus that goes closest to where you are trying to go.”<\/p>\n

She also went on to spell out a number of other things she likes about Harris’ policies and added at the end: “Plus! Plus! She is the only<\/i> candidate that is likely to have the support in Congress, and to be able to support and protect our civil rights across the country. If we have civil rights, we must<\/i> have them nationally.”<\/p>\n

Before we get to a full slate of callers today, however, a few very related news items of note…<\/p>\n
