b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The new monthly jobs report once again exceeded economists' expectations, with wages continuing to rise and unemployment remaining at a 50-year low. President Biden's jobs numbers are smashing all-time records, and in just 18 months, Biden's job creation boom has already far surpassed Donald Trump's record over the first three years of his term. The U.S. economy has now regained nearly all of the 22 million jobs lost during Trump's mishandled pandemic. A stunning leak of a SCOTUS majority draft opinion that would overturn the landmark law 'Roe v. Wade' in its entirety revealed that the five Republicans on the US Supreme Court all appear to have lied during their Senate confirmation hearings about their positions on the long-established precedent. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON, award-winning opinion and analysis journalist from Salon and Digby's Hullabaloo, discusses the draft opinion and the fallout, and how Democrats can respond aggressively to protect women's freedoms from Republican attacks and ensure that voters understand how the GOP's unprecedented removal of privacy rights will impact all Americans. Parton warns that Republicans and their stolen-and-packed rightwing Supreme Court majority will not stop at outlawing abortion. Also today:\\xa0 more revelations from the new book from former Trump Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, who reports that, among several bonkers ideas and potential war crimes, Trump repeatedly suggested bombing Mexico 'to destroy the drug labs' and then lying about it to the public.
