'BradCast' 5/30/2023 (Encore: CRT, ESG - Don't fall for the Right's pretend 'Culture Wars')
b"Encore: original air-date 3/2/2023. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 We rarely spend time reporting on phony rightwing 'culture war' BS because it is weaponized nonsense designed to keep their viewers angry. For years, corporate media and Democrats have taken the bait, amplifying the nonsense every time they respond to the Right's ginned-up, manufactured outrages. For example, one might think the nation is bitterly divided in the 'culture war' over abortion rights, but a new poll confirms that the vast majority of Americans in every single state support reproductive rights. We debunk Republicans' new fake culture war outrage attacking a mundane, decades-old investment framework known as ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), in which corporations and investment managers consider factors like the environment when making business decisions. Also today: Arizona's Democratic Attorney General Kris Mays has released a report hidden by her predecessor, Republican AG Mark Brnovich, that found no evidence the 2020 election was rigged or stolen in Arizona. Although the probe was completed in March 2022, Brnovich lied about its conclusions while he was campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat, so the state's new Democratic Governor Hobbs has filed a complaint against Brnovich with the state bar association for possible sanctions.
