<\/center><\/p>\nWe’re back after a week off from The BradCast<\/i><\/a>, with a lot to catch up with, including some interesting observations over our week away. [Audio to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]\n The week away from the daily grind of the show was instructive. The helicopter view of events — while not looking at them too closely — revealed two unmistakable, and likely historic, central storylines now underway. They are storylines that I think we’ll be quite clear to see several years from now. But even now, they are unmistakable…<\/p>\n 1) The President — and the presidency, specifically this one, along with it — are collapsing. Physically, emotionally, politically and, most importantly, legally in the courts. On today’s show, we walk through the evidence in support of both of those parallel storylines. Among the evidence in support of the first…<\/p>\n There is more, but you get the idea. On the other critical, historic storyline underway, the fight to prevent democracy itself from collapsing under Trump’s wannabe-authoritarian weight, things are not easy, but are arguably holding up. Among just some of the evidence over the past week…<\/p>\n All the good fights, on both scores, continue, even as the once popular Trump (or so he told us over the past 16 months — remember, more Americans voted against<\/i> him than for him in 20224), is quickly becoming a pariah, even in his own party, amid one failure after another.<\/p>\n We will look back on these months as “the moment that it happened”, before<\/i> millions of Americans who originally (and repeatedly) supported Trump begin claiming, some years from now, that they never actually liked the guy at all. Mark your calendars.<\/p>\n Finally, we close today with callers, ringing in on tomorrow’s somewhat bizarre, 50-candidate Gubernatorial top-two primary race here in California<\/b>. We’ve got calls in support of Democrats Xavier Becerra<\/b>, Tom Steyer<\/b> and Katie Porter<\/b>, even if nobody felt like ringing in for supposed Republican frontrunner and former Fox “News” Steve Hilton<\/b>…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re back after a week off from The BradCast, with a lot to catch up with, including some interesting observations over our week away.

\n2) The fight to prevent democracy — our version of it anyway — from collapsing along with Donald Trump<\/b>‘s failing presidency is continuing and, arguably, succeeding. On that score, the small “d” democrats are doing well, given the circumstances. <\/p>\n\n
