'BradCast' 9/19/2022 (DeSantis' kidnapping 'stunt'; Three hurricanes make landfall in one weekend)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Mainstream corporate media are pulling their punches, failing to properly inform the public that the Republican Party has gone full-bore authoritarian. Corporate media took great pains to normalize the bizarre, Nazi-like rally in Ohio held by far-right MAGA cult leader Donald Trump over the weekend. Democracy itself is now very much at stake in this nation, and we really need a professional media corps that isn't afraid to call out authoritarians and fascists and report it to the American people. The corporate media has focused on the death of Queen Elizabeth in Great Britain with nearly wall-to-wall coverage, while virtually ignoring three major climate change-intensified hurricanes that caused widespread flooding and devastation over the weekend in Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Japan. Florida's ambitious Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis, has taken credit for coercing 48 lawful asylum seekers from Venezuela onto planes in Texas and then dumping them in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. New documents show that the asylum-seekers were lured onto the flights with false promises, providing hard documentary evidence that\\xa0 DeSantis' obscene political stunt may have violated the law. Will DeSantis or his associates be held accountable for what appears to have been a pretty straightforward federal crime?\\xa0 Callers weigh in on all of the above, on today's very lively program!"
