'BradCast' 2/12/2019 (Guest: Election integrity expert Marilyn Marks)

On today’s show: First up, Donald Trump and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) held dueling rallies on the border in El Paso, TX, in which Trump lied about the effectiveness of an existing border wall in the city, lied about his rally's crowd size compared to O'Rourke's, and tellingly, failed to let his supporters know about a deal struck between Congressional Republicans and Democrats to avoid another government shutdown.

Experts are having trouble coming up with reasons for the anomalous numbers, and Marks is seeking an independent forensic investigation of the computer-voting and tabulation systems used in 2018. The results have national implications, as key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Iowa and California are preparing to move to similarly 100 unverifiable voting systems before the 2020 Presidential election. Plus Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report', with special coverage of the landmark ‘Green New Deal’ resolution introduced in Congress last week by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA)...
