'BradCast' 4/26/2017: (Why U.S. War Against Syria (and Canada!) Matters)
b"As Donald Trump nears his 100 days mark, and Congress returns from their two-week Easter recess, the firehose of news is back on, with Republicans announcing a new scheme to 'repeal and replace' Obamacare and the Administration unveiling a plan for a massive tax cut for corporations and individuals. Desperate to distract from his lack of success during his first 100 days, Trump also goes to war with Canada! (Trade war anyway...via Twitter). Listeners ring in with in calls, comments and emails in response to our interviews earlier this week with MIT Professor Emeritus Theodore Postol and Consortium News' Robert Parry, both of whom question the evidence in the White House's hastily released report on April 11 meant to justify Trump's April 6 cruise missile attack on Syria. That attack is said to have been in response to the April 4 chemical weapons incident in the rebel-held province of Idlib.\\xa0 But why have the U.S. media failed to question the evidence, and why has Congress failed to debate, much less Constitutionally authorize, Trump's military action? Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest, unusually encouraging, 'Green News Report' and a heads up in advance of this weekend's People's Climate March."
