'BradCast' 10/9/2018: (Guest: Pastor Doug Pagitt of Vote Common Good)
On today's show:\xa0 Fox 'News' doesn't like it when celebrities on the left speak out about politics. Vote.org reported a huge spike in voter registrations nationwide and in Tennessee after singer Taylor Swift endorsed the state's Democratic candidate, former Gov. Phil Bredesen, for U.S. Senate in his race against Rep. Marsha Blackburn. No wonder the right would like folks like Swift to shut up, especially as voter registration begins to close in many states across the country.\xa0 As Category 3 Hurricane Michael barrels toward the Florida Gulf Coast, Democrats are forced to sue the state yet again to force the Governor to extend the voter registration deadline. U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, one of the few top officials in the Trump Cabinet not considered to be a complete wingnut, announced her plan to resign, asserting that "now, the United States is respected," despite Trump being laughed at, out loud, in the U.N. General Assembly. Her claim flies in the face of demonstrable facts and actual recent polling around the world. In the wake of the disturbing battle to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a group of evangelicals are now hitting the road for a cross-country tour to "Flip Congress for the common good." Vote Common Good's founder and executive director, Pastor DOUG PAGITT,\xa0 explains his attempt to reach white evangelicals supporters of Trump and his Republican Party, and the need for liberal and progressive religious community leaders on the left to speak out for Christian values in the dangerous era of Trump. Pagitt explains how many Christian voters have been conned into giving up their values in adhering to their political identity, voting against biblical teachings.\xa0 Plus Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report', as the United Nations issues an alarming report warning the worst impacts of climate change will arrive much sooner than predicted, unless massive, transformational changes are made by the nations of the world...
