  • Essential Listening

    Bradcast and the Green News Report are factual, and packed with news others do not cover or contextualize. I never miss an episode. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants non corporate news especially election coverage. Bradcast helps me through difficult times with thoughtful analysis and snarky content! Thanks Brad and Desi for all the years of hard work and real talk, you’re the best!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'BradCast' 1/8/2026 (Trump to U.N., Rule of Law, World: DROP DEAD. Guest Jean Su, Center for Biological Diversity)
Q: How does this withdrawal affect other countries and negotiations on fossil fuels?
They lose a key player who has the economic power to phase out fossil fuels and lead global negotiations.
'BradCast' 1/8/2026 (Trump to U.N., Rule of Law, World: DROP DEAD. Guest Jean Su, Center for Biological Diversity)
Q: Is it even lawful for Trump to pull out of this accord unilaterally under US law?
No, we would argue that it is not legal for a president to unilaterally undo what two-thirds of the Senate approved.
'BradCast' 1/7/2026 (Guest: Election expert Marilyn Marks on 'nonsense' new claims about GA's 2020 election)
Q: Were 315,000 fraudulent votes really cast in the most democratic part of the state in an election that Trump won by just 12,000 votes as his dim-witted supporters are beginning to claim?
Of course not. It amounts to unsigned poll tapes rather than actual fraudulent votes.
'BradCast' 1/5/2026 (Trump War on Venezuela is About Ego, Power, Creation of 'Alien Enemies')
Q: What motivated Trump's military action in Venezuela?
Brad Friedman suggests it is a combination of personal power, financial interests in oil, and distraction from political pressures, rather than legitimate national security concerns.
'BradCast' 1/1/2026 (Encore: 'Supreme Arrogance' - John Roberts and His Stacked, Packed and Captured Supreme Court, with former DOJ official Lisa Graves)
Q: Can you outline a potential path towards reforming the Supreme Court?
We need to build a multi-year movement to reform the court and restore our rights by holding representatives accountable.
