b"On today's 'BradCast': Lots of dupes and dopes and grifters in the Republican Party. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy introduced the House GOP's demands in exchange for raising the nation's debt ceiling so that the US government doesn't default on its debts, in turn crashing the world economy.\\xa0 McCarthy proposes massive, cruel cuts in social safety net programs that punish the poor, and more, and would actually increase the national debt. If McCarthy is able to get his fractious caucus to approve it, it won't pass the Senate or the White House. House Republicans also want to gut President Biden's landmark climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act, and its clean air provisions. McCarthy's own district in Bakersfield, CA has the most polluted air of any city in the nation, and he is trying to make it even worse.
