SUMMARY:Countdown to 2026 - Politics In Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 4\, 2025 • 6:30–8:00 PM (Zoom)Free\, live program with Q&A \nTonight – One year before the 2026 national elections-  two critical gubernatorial races will be decided in New Jersey and Virginia—and both could signal the political direction of the nation. \nThe Republican Party and Project 2025 have identified these states as prime targets for flipping from blue to red\, making their outcomes far more significant than typical off-year contests. We will follow the results as they come in! \nIn this timely\, fast-paced program\, presidential award-winning historian and political analyst Barry Bradford will break down what these elections reveal about voter sentiment\, turnout patterns\, and the political momentum heading into 2026. \nBarry will also present a fascinating look at the crucial 2026  Senate map\, showing how Democrats and Republicans each have opportunities to gain ground—and why an unlikely path through Alaska and Maine could prove decisive to Democrats’ hopes to blunt President Trump’s power. \nThe final portion of the evening will feature a live Q&A on politics only\, where Barry will answer audience questions in real time. Bring your curiosity\, your insights\, and your questions as we explore what the next election year might bring—and what it means for America’s future. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O. Box #177\nDeerfield\, IL 60015\nPlease write “Election PM” in the subject line. \nPayPal\nPay securely via PayPal:\n\n(Please note: PayPal deducts 10% of your donation as a fee. I receive $4.50 per $5.00 donation.) \nVenmo\nSend to: @B-Bradford-1\nPlease include “Election PM” in the note. \nZelle\nUse the email address: Barry1776@ATT.NET\nInclude “Election PM” in the note. \nWAIVER OPTION\nIf you cannot afford to pay or feel my programs aren’t worth $5.00\, you are welcome to attend for free or contribute less. Just email me to request a waiver—no questions asked! This one-time request will cover all future programs. I completely understand the challenges of living on a tight budget and offer this with compassion. \nREGISTRATION LINK\nClick Here to Register \nDIDN’T RECEIVE YOUR ZOOM LINK?\nIf you don’t receive a confirmation email after registering\, it means your sign-up wasn’t completed.

SUMMARY:Murrow vs. McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:In the dark shadow of the early 1950s\, Senator Joseph McCarthy wielded fear like a weapon\, accusing countless Americans of disloyalty with little or no evidence. Few dared to stand against him—until Edward R. Murrow stepped into the fight. In this gripping program\, we explore how Murrow used the young medium of television to challenge McCarthy’s reign of terror\, first through the story of Milo Radulovich\, a young man expelled from the Air Force Reserve without due process\, and then in a direct confrontation that shook the nation. \nMurrow vs. McCarthy: The Night Television Grew Up\nThrough powerful storytelling and historical footage\, we will examine how Murrow and his See It Now team meticulously exposed McCarthy’s tactics\, culminating in the landmark broadcast that many historians consider the night television came of age. Murrow’s steady voice and measured condemnation provided a rallying cry for those who believed in reason\, truth\, and the power of free speech. His actions not only helped curb McCarthy’s influence but also \reshaped the role of television news forever. \nOn March 9\, 1954\, Murrow delivered one of the most courageous broadcasts in American history. In a measured but devastating critique aired on See It Now\, Murrow exposed McCarthy’s tactics\, hypocrisy\, and the cost of silence. It was a moment when television proved it could do more than entertain — it could defend democracy itself. The broadcast electrified the public\, hastening McCarthy’s downfall and forever changing the relationship between journalism and power. \nJoin us for a fascinating look at this pivotal moment in American history. We’ll uncover the behind-the-scenes decisions that led to Murrow’s bold stand\, the national reaction to the broadcasts\, and the lasting impact on journalism and politics. Through Murrow’s example\, we will see how integrity\, courage\, and the responsible use of media can alter the course of a nation. \nREGISTRATION INFORMATION \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
