## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': The tsunami of breaking news events over the last week has two unmistakable, central storylines underway that may someday turn out to have been historic. First, the Trump Presidency is collapsing, politically, legally in the courts, and even physically - - from Donald Trump's imploding 'state fair' on the National Mall, to court orders undoing his Kennedy Center takeover and putting his wildly corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund on hold, and much, much more. The other storyline is the monumental, ongoing fight to prevent American democracy from collapsing along with Trump's failing presidency, which seems to be holding the line so far, with encouraging new developments. Callers weigh in on all the above, plus the crowded California governor's race.
