b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A day full of breaking news truncates our special coverage of the Democratic Primary Presidential Debate in Iowa. We're joined today by guests HEATHER 'DIGBY' PARTON of Salon and Hullabaloo and fellow longtime progressive blogger "DRIFTGLASS" (aka @Mr_Electrico on Twitter), co-host of the 'Professional Left Podcast', celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. We begin with coverage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to finally transmit the two Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump, as approved by the House last year, over to the Senate for the third Presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history. Along with the articles, Speaker Pelosi also announced the selection of seven House members who will serve as prosecutors (known as House Managers) for the trial. The House Intelligence Committee released troubling new documentary evidence from the phone of Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, revealing a creepy and disturbing text message thread detailing what appears to be surveillance of then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, an anti-corruption warrior. Then we move to coverage and analysis of Tuesday night's debate in Des Moines, Iowa, the final Democratic Presidential debate before voting begins for the 2020 nominating cycle \\u2013 with former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and billionaire businessman Tom Steyer. 'Digby' and 'Driftglass' offer their insight on all of the candidates and a number of topics discussed, from the bubbling feud between Sanders and Warren to the candidates' varying positions on the Military/Industrial Complex and 'forever wars' in the Middle East, and more -- and whether Tuesday's debate shifted the fortunes of any of the front-runners before voting begins next month...."
