'BradCast' 8/26/2022 (Guest: Salon's Heather Digby Parton on Trump/GOP, Biden/Democrats late-summer ascension)
08-26-2022 (53.11 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': The contrast between the two major parties, their respective leaders and their prospective near-term fortunes could not be starker. On Friday, a court unsealed a heavily redacted version of the lawful affidavit used to establish 'probable cause' for the FBI's search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in early August. It revealed disturbing new specifics about hundreds of documents, many of them highly classified, that Trump stole from the White House and refused to return, despite more than a year of effort by the National Archives, and kept in an unsecure storage room. The affidavit is the latest gobsmacking development in the multiple concurrent criminal investigations of Trump and his associates that have nearly overshadowed the extraordinary run of late summer successes by President Biden and the Democrats. Biden capped recent weeks of major accomplishments with a barn-burner of a rally speech on Thursday, detailing the Democrats' landmark legislative achievements and unsparingly taking on Republicans and the former President, in no uncertain terms, drawing a stark contrast between the two major parties and their agendas. In a wide-ranging conversation, award-winning opinion journalist HEATHER 'DIGBY' PARTON of Salon and Hullabaloo delves into the major developments of just the last few weeks. Parton brings context and historical perspective to the massive new criminal scandal Trump has brought upon himself and the growing public backlash against the Republicans' 'very far right, radical anti-abortion zealotry.' Parton also analyzes President Biden's and the Democrats' historic achievements and major policy accomplishments in recent weeks, and what it all may mean going forward into the critical November 2022 midterm elections.
