'BradCast' 5/12/2026 (CA Offshore Oil Rig Fire Previews Trump's Next Huge Failure; Guest: Brady Bradshaw of Center for BioDiversity)

What this episode covers

On today's 'BradCast': It has been grim witnessing Republicans' surge of corrupt actions to rig the critical midterm elections, from the rightwing US Supreme Court, state legislatures, and state courts. But new data show Donald Trump is increasingly unpopular; inflation is rising to its highest level in years; and political analysts favor Democrats to win back the majority in the U.S. House. So pro-democracy Americans still have a chance to defeat autocracy. Marine biologist BRADY BRADSHAW of the Center for Biological Diversity explains how an offshore rig fire off the coast of California this week illustrates the broad, inherently destructive environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas operations, the Trump Administration's corrupt efforts to massively expand offshore drilling, actions to protect our coasts, and much more. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
