'BradCast' 11/15/2017: (Guest: Nuclear weapons policy analyst Stephen Schwartz)
Encouraging news for Democrats, as a 26-year old lesbian candidate in deep 'red' Oklahoma has unseated yet another Republican in a state legislative special election.\xa0 An update on the Roy Moore mess in Alabama:\xa0 Moore and his supporters fighting back against allegations of sexual misconduct with underage girls, while someone is falsely posing as a Washington Post reporter claiming to offer money in exchange for new accusations, and ightwing radio propagandist Rush Limbaugh has a very novel defense for Moore. In yesterday's mass shooting in Northern California, authorities say the gunman was able to somehow obtain a semi-automatic weapon even after domestic violence and police complaints. As concerns grow over Donald Trump's saber-rattling access to nuclear weapons, the U.S. Senate held a hearing to examine the president's sole authority to launch nuclear weapons for the first time since 1976. Longtime nuclear weapons policy analyst STEPHEN SCHWARTZ of the Middlebury Institute of International discusses what came out of the hearing and what, if anything, can (or should) be done to restore a more sane nuclear weapons policy in the only nuclear-armed nation in the world that gives that decision to one single person \u2013 currently, Donald J. Trump.
