| President Biden explained his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, and called on all Americans to defend democracy against wannabe 'kings and dictators.' US House voted unanimously to investigate assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Corporate media appears afraid to ask standard questions of Trump Campaign regarding Trump's injury. DNC to hold early virtual convention to prevent shenanigans by Ohio's GOP-controlled legislature. Good news for Ohio voters battling voter suppression and gerrymandering.

| New polling suggests that Vice President Harris (D) has a slight lead over Donald Trump (R) in the 2024 presidential election, and that the GOP failed to get the traditional 'bounce' in support after their convention. Salon opinion columnist HEATHER DIGBY PARTON and JOHN AMATO, publisher of the notorious Crooks and Liars blog, offer deep insight, analysis, and hilarious takes on Biden, Harris, Trump, Republicans' apparent freak-out at the surprise shift in the political landscape, and much more, as we delve into the past four weeks of non-stop political upheavals.

|

| Encore: original airdate 7-11-2024. On today's 'BradCast': New polls find President Biden and Donald Trump tied nationally, with Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by two points, but also show growing voter sentiment that Biden is too old to run for re-election. While Biden met with world leaders at the NATO Summit, Trump hosted Hungarian strongman Victor Orban in Florida, just days after Orban's private meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. New data show US inflation continues to fall. Climate science denier and former Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who died this week, used his powerful position to block US action on climate change and spread disinformation, costing valuable time in combating the climate crisis. California's booming solar industry is generating more clean energy than the state can use, while the powerful utility industry has successfully eroded rooftop solar incentives for homeowners.

|
| A 20-year old registered Republican unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally with the type of miliatry-grade weapon that Republicans have spent years ensuring are easily accessible. Pres. Biden and Democrats called for cooling political rhetoric while elected Republicans escalated it, attempting to chill accurate, peaceful criticism of the GOP. Trump-appointed judge dismissed the stolen classified documents case against Trump for specious reasons. Trump nominated Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate. Callers weigh in.
