'BradCast' 4/12/2016 (Energy analyst, author Steve LeVine on Tesla; More updates from 'Discrimination Nation')
Amid the raging political storm that is the 2016 Presidential election madness, we take a moment to look at what could be the moment when everything changed last week, but few may have actually noticed. Steve LeVine, author, energy analyst and Washington correspondent for Quartz joins us to discuss the 'category killer' represented by Tesla's Model 3, a new all-electric card introduced by CEO Elon Musk last week and promptly 'pre-purchased' by an unprecedented 325k buyers.\xa0 Is this the 'iPhone moment' for the auto industry? And, if so, what might that mean not only for carmakers, but for worldwide geo-politics and petro-states? Also today: Republican U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan insists, again, that he will not run for President; more corporations joining the political and economic backlash against Southern states whose Republican governments continue to pass discriminatory, anti-LGBT laws; and President Obama designates the nation's newest national monument honoring women's suffrage and Equal Pay Day.
