Today on The BradCast…
“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it — that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”
– Mario Savio, 1964.

The Inaugural Address sounded pretty “populisty” to me. A lot like the campaign speeches, boiled down.
Don’t know what to think at this point about anything economically-populist actually getting done.
Staying focused on ISSUES, at least for now, keeps me sane.

Great show! Lot’s of great wisdom for today’s problems!
Loved this show, it was brilliant and had all kind of great clips.
I would like to know who was the Irish speaker on the Inauguration Counter-Programming Special
from 1/20/2017
Thanks
He was so eloquent!
Darcy @ 5:
That was Irish Labour Party Senator Aodhán Ó RÃordáin
I think I saw a couple of photos of the inauguration, but this counter-programming show is worth listening to over and over.
