'BradCast' 1/9/2018 (Guest: John Gilbert of Iowa's Gibralter Farms)
Amidst seemingly endless sympathetic corporate media profiles of\xa0 supposedly "forgotten" Trump voters in rural America, what of the majority of American voters who didn't vote for Trump, even in so-called "Trump Country"? We're joined today by sustainable family farmer JOHN GILBERT of Gibralter Farms, who believes we need more regulations, not less, to remain good stewards of the land, so that "humanity stays alive". Gilbert explains how many of his fellow farmers, in Iowa and elsewhere, have been misled about the recently withdrawn Waters of the United States Rule (WOTUS) and the so-called "death tax" by the agriculture lobbying group, American Farm Bureau, and the Republican party and its media outlets. He also discusses the principals of sustainable agriculture. Encouraging news that North and South Korea now seem to be in talks, even as the Trump Administration continues to send very mixed signals. Far right-wing "news" site Breitbart has fired it's far right-wing CEO Steve Bannon.\xa0 Disgraced far right-wing Joe Arpaio, the controversial former sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ who was found guilty of contempt of court last year and pardoned by Trump, announced he will run for US Senate.\xa0 Plus late-breaking news, including a landmark Appeals Court ruling striking down North Carolina's Congressional maps due to partisan gerrymandering, deadly mudslides in Southern California in areas burned by the record Thomas Fire, and Desi Doyen with the latest \u2018Green News Report'.
