'BradCast' 4/20/2017: (Guest: D.R. Tucker of Washington Monthly)

b"The Trump administration is now both for and against the Iran Nuclear Deal. At least they seem to be taking every side of the issue this week, despite Trump's repeated campaign vows to rip up or renegotiate the deal and his 2015 charge that it 'will go down as one of the dumbest and most dangerous misjudgments ever entered into in history of our country'. But that's what happens when everything your President knows about policy he learned from Fox 'News'. Which brings us to our guest today, D.R. Tucker of Washington Monthly, a former rightwinger turned climate change hawk and avid media critic. We discuss the corporate media failure on climate and science in advance of this weekend's March for Science and next week's People's Climate March, as well as the firing of Fox 'News' star and alleged serial sexual harasser Bill O'Reilly.\\xa0 Tucker has some very strong opinions on both of those matters today, as well as the 'false god of false balance'. Finally: Another prisoner receives a stay in Arkansas' unprecedented attempted killing spree; some ironic federal court karma may be about to bite Donald Trump (again); And pot activists in D.C. on 4/20 come up with a clever way to spark up interest for their issue among Congressional staffers and media on Capitol Hill..."
