'BradCast' 10/26/2015 (Brendan Fischer on WI Gov. Scott Walker's huge new scheme(s) to undermine democracy)
On today's program, we focus on three extraordinary pieces of legislation being rammed through Wisconsin's state legislature that will absolutely gut transparency democracy and the ability to oversee corruption and electoral fairness in the Badger State. Worse still, what is going on there is the petri dish for Republican attempts to undermine democracy nationwide. Brendan Fischer of WI's Center for Media and Democracy joins us to explain these three unprecedented bills, why they are being passed, and what effect they will have both on the state and the nation. Also today: Death and destruction over the weekend from Oklahoma to British Columbia to Pakistan and Afghanistan, even as Mexico and the U.S. may have dodged a bullet, of sorts, after the strongest hurricane on record came ashore over the weekend.
