'BradCast' 3/11/2021 (Biden's 'American Rescue Plan' May Ultimately Be Seen as the End of the Reagan Era)

b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 President Joe Biden today signed his American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion COVID rescue and relief package that history may someday regard as the long-overdue end of the four-decade old Reagan Era. Zero Republicans in the House or Senate voted for the Democrat's remarkably robust, progressive and equitable economic relief plan. Unlike previous stimulus and rescue plans in the past, the ARP is crafted to benefit the poor and working class, and will help lift millions of Americans -- especially children -- out of poverty. Remember: all Republicans in both house of Congress voted AGAINST a nearly $2 trillion measure largely targeted at helping the middle class and the poor. Yet all Republicans in both houses of Congress voted in FAVOR of the nearly $2 trillion tax cut to help the wealthy and corporations already enjoying record profits.\\xa0 Please share that with everyone you know, and remind them when the 2022 midterm elections roll around. Today also marks one year since the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus to be an official pandemic, which has now killed more than 2.5 million around the world. The US, while only about 5 percent of the world's population, has suffered about a quarter of total coronavirus deaths under Donald Trump's horrifically failed leadership, with more than 500,000 dead and counting. Today is also the 10th anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that struck Japan in 2011. Also today: A new recording has emerged of Donald Trump's previously secret phone call to Georgia's chief state election investigator during his 2020 election challenge, telling her, among other things, that 'when the right answer comes out, you'll be praised'.
