b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 An avalanche of important news headlines breaking today in the US and around the world over the weekend.\\xa0 A commemoration of the 49th annual Earth Day with Desi Doyen, including\\xa0 "A Message from the Future from Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez," a charming and hopeful look "back" from the future on the world-changing successes of AOC's Green New Deal, depicting how the US ultimately acts on climate change by creating millions of jobs in a just transition away from fossil fuels. Also today: troubling new information buried in the redacted Mueller Report shows that Russian intelligence operatives infiltrated "individuals and entities involved in the administration of the [2016] elections," determining they successfully planted malware on a number of U.S. voting systems. But Mueller writes, "the [Special Counsel's] Office did not investigate further [and] did not, for instance, obtain or examine servers or other relevant items belonging to these victims," because "The Office understands that the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the states have separately investigated that activity."\\xa0 Unfortunately, that's not true, as we detail today. As we have reported repeatedly, DHS admits it did not conduct any forensic analysis of voting systems following the 2016 Presidential election, and apparently no one ever has.\\xa0 That's both crucial and troubling, considering that Trump reportedly won by less than 80,000 votes in the key swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Most of those very same systems will be used again in the 2020 Presidential election.\\xa0 Callers weigh in on the findings of the redacted Mueller Report, with mixed feelings on whether Democrats in Congress should begin impeachment hearings..."
