In today’s radio Bradcast show, Brad Friedman begins by playing a clip of Hillary Clinton during her first national policy speech since declaring her run for the 2016 democratic nomination. She took an opportunity to take a shot at Jeb Bush.
Clinton goes on to say that the current rules for the US economy does reward some work, like financial trading for example. But the work that is the actual backbone of the economy like building and selling things does not receive fair wages. “To get all the incomes rising again we need to strike a bigger balance. If you work hard you ought to be paid fairly…”
Following this clip, Friedman speculates on Clinton’s speech, how much she actually means when she reads her speech in front of the public. Also what she was saying has been said by Bernie Sanders for the past forty years so it is nothing new really.
Radio Sputnik’s host then talks about the prank call that was made to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. The governor is announcing his presidential run; hence, Friedman decided it was a good time to mention the things Walker said when he assumed he was talking to somebody else.
The conversation took place back in 2011. The actual clip is played during the broadcast, shedding some light on the governors inside strategy of ‘crushing the unions’ and ‘unusual’ methods such as: planting troublemakers amongst the protestors.
Following that scandalous clip, Freidman goes on to talk to the person Ian Murphy who made the prank call to the governor.
The call pulled back the sheets and shed light on what sort of trickery Scott Walker was trying to pull off. Murphy confirms that the conversation was posted like it is without any editing; therefore it gives a real narrative of the governor who accidentally gave a little too much information for his own good.
