Today on The BradCast<\/i><\/a>: While the corporate media continues to amplify Trump’s BS, we do our best to counter it with actual, independently verifiable facts. Yes, it is possible. [Audio to full show linked below.<\/i>]\n

Fact-checks on today’s program include long-disproven and yet still-repeated nonsense from Trump’s ‘major speech on national security and terrorism’ in Ohio on Monday — (You knew it wasn’t going to go well when it started with former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani claiming that in the “eight years before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attacks in the United States”.) — and on Trump’s wildly misleading claims about ‘voter fraud’ in Pennsylvania on Friday.<\/p>\n

Trump’s latest lie concerning voters voting multiple times “in certain areas” in Pennsylvania (they don’t) and about the 59 precincts in Philadelphia where Romney received zero votes in 2012 (he did, as we reported at the time<\/a>, finding it to be neither surprising nor “fraudulent”) have all been debunked long ago. But, as he and other desperate Republicans repeat the same bullshit, as he keeps sinking<\/a> in the polls, we’re happy to revisit the facts<\/i> once again so you can check ’em for yourself.<\/p>\n

As to the GOP Presidential nominee’s new scheme to combat that ‘voter fraud’ in PA with police officers and citizens observers, he may be calling for something that is a violation<\/a> of a long-standing<\/a>, federal court-approved, 1983 consent decree, signed by the Republican National Committee after a similar voter intimidation scheme was carried out by the GOP in minority areas of New Jersey. We explain.<\/p>\n

Also on today’s program: Very important news from over the weekend that has not<\/i> received the coverage it deserves. From the two Muslim clerics gunned-down<\/a> execution style in broad daylight in Trump’s hometown of Queens, NY on Saturday, to the devastating and growing cost of climate change as 20,000 residents of Louisiana were rescued<\/a> amid record rain and flooding (“close to two feet over a 48-hour period”) and 4,000 were evacuated<\/a> as hundreds of homes were destroyed (for the second year in a row) amid wildfires in just one small, rural county in bone-dry California.<\/p>\n

Finally on today’s BradCast<\/i>: the Rightwing talk radio host who may have finally realized<\/a> what he and his fellow propagandists have done. “There’s got to be a reckoning on all this,” he said this weekend. “We’ve created this monster.”<\/p>\n
