'BradCast' 10/15/2019 (Guest: Salon & Hullabaloo's Heather Digby Parton)
10-15-2019 (53.85 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': Good news for voters in Ohio, where the Republican Sec. of State had the good sense to check with voting rights groups before wrongly purging 40,000 active voters from the rolls. Award-winning opinion journalist HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and Hullabaloo discusses Trump's deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria, and – contradicting the corporate media conventional wisdom -- explains why Trump's Syria pullout appears to be anything but an impulsive decision. She links Trump's abandonment of our Kurdish allies to his Ukraine policy, explaining how his actions, like so many other controversial policies of the Trump Administration, are in the clear and direct interest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Parton also discusses the latest impeachment news, including her theory as to why the Ukraine matter has finally resulted in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi giving permission to her caucus to proceed with impeachment, as many current and former executive branch officials are now lining up to testify to Congressional investigators -- and not in favor of Trump or his lackey lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Plus, the return of the 'Green News Report' with Desi Doyen, cramming a month's worth of green news into the latest 'GNR' in just six minutes. Buckle up!
