'BradCast' 2/9/2022 (Guest: Marianna Trevino-Wright of Nat'l Butterfly Ctr on MAGA threats)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The North Carolina State Board of Elections asserts that it has the unquestionable legal authority to disqualify from the ballot any candidate that 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion,' as explicitly stated in the text of the 14th Amendment. The NC board's announcement came out of a complaint brought by constitutional law experts alleging that Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) is ineligible for office due to his participation and alleged planning role in the January 6 rallies and the Capitol Insurrection, which could have big implications for other MAGA Congressmembers. New video shows disgraced Trumpy Mesa County, CO clerk Tina Peters resisting arrest on charges unrelated to the ongoing criminal investigation of her alleged theft of voting system software in a brazen security breach. The National Butterfly Center in South Texas has been forced to close its doors due to a surge of violent threats from rightwing extremist groups peddling bizarre lies. Executive Director MARIANNA TREVI\\xd1O-WRIGHT discusses the rightwing extremists and the threats that prompted the decision to (hopefully temporarily) close, and updates the latest on the Center's lawsuit to halt damage from ongoing construction of Donald Trump's border wall. She also explains actions that people can take to help the Center survive and continue its mission, and has some good news regarding rebounding butterfly populations. Also today: the National Archives has asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Trump's mishandling of Presidential records is a criminal violation of the Presidential Records Act."
