'BradCast' 1/19/2021 (Bye, Don! Guest: Richard 'RJ' Eskow on Trump's bitter end, Biden's new beginning)
01-19-2021 (54.01 MB)
It's our final 'BradCast' with Donald Trump still serving as President of the United States! But it may take a while for the stink to go away. In the last hours of his term, Trump is reportedly preparing to announce 100+ last-minute presidential pardons, and he may attempt to issue pardons for his family or himself. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared that Trump 'provoked' the violent attack and riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris held a moving memorial service for the more than 400,000 Americans killed by COVID, thanks to Trump's delinquent response. Trump's send-off from Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday morning may be sparsely attended, while A-list stars are showing up for Joe Biden's inauguration. Trump released a video on Tuesday bidding 'farewell' to the nation, which may come as a shock to his many gullible supporters to whom he has been lying for months. Misinformation about the election has plummeted on social media sites since Trump was banned, along with hate speech and calls for violence. Progressive columnist and broadcaster RICHARD 'RJ' ESKOW of 'The Zero Hour' discusses the mood in the nation's locked-down capitol on the eve of this unprecedented Inauguration Day, the potential dangers of Big Tech muzzling political viewpoints (even Trump's), and his assessment of Biden's cabinet selections and agenda so far. Also today: Federal appeals court strikes down Trump EPA's failed attempt to dismantle meaningful emissions standards for polluting power plants. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
