On today's 'BradCast': Brad is still dealing with a rebound case of COVID, so guest host Nicole Sandler and 'BradCast' producer Desi Doyen have joined forces to bring you a fresh, new 'BradCast' to tickle your ears and brain cells. Among the stories covered today: In oral arguments, the stolen-and-packed rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court appeared ready to overturn the Chevron Deference, a landmark precedent that requires judges to defer to federal agency expertise rather than insert their own political or ideological preferences in deciding ambiguous statutes -- a long-sought goal of rightwing legal groups and polluting industries. In the second defamation trial brought by former columnist E. Jean Carroll against disgraced ex-president Donald Trump, the federal judge threatened to eject Trump from the courtroom over his distruptive antics. Plus Nicole's illuminating interview with author and communications expert ANAT SHENKER-OSORIO of ASO Communications, who offers key insights on how the words we use matter, practical advice on winning messages that counter defeatist messaging, and much more.
