As you’ll recall, in an unprecedented speech by a U.S. President, Trump called<\/a> Kim “Rocket Man” and threatened to “totally destroy North Korea” at the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n

That, as reported<\/a> today, was apparently a surprise even to Trump’s top officials, who are said to have “warned him not to deliver a personal attack on North Korea’s leader at the United Nations.” In turn, North Korea said they are considering<\/a> a test of a hydrogen bomb above and the Pacific, and Kim issued an unprecedented first-person response, describing Trump as a “mentally deranged dotard<\/a>“. Trump answered back via Twitter (naturally), calling<\/a> Kim a “madman”. But the school yard bully act by both is far more complicated, nuanced and, yes, dangerous, as revealed in part by the full<\/i> statement<\/a> from Kim, which we share today.<\/p>\n

Then, Sen. John McCain now says he’s a “no”<\/a> on the last-gasp desperate efforts by Senate Republicans to gut the Affordable Care Act with the wildly unpopular<\/a> Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson amendment, that would take hundreds of billions away from<\/a> federal health care, and result in loss of coverage for at least<\/i> 21 million Americans. Does McCain’s announcement finally signal the end for the GOP’s zombie-like attempt to ‘”repeal and replace” ObamaCare? Don’t<\/a> count your chickens just yet.<\/p>\n

Also today: breaking news on the Guajataca Dam in Puerto Rico that is now reportedly failing<\/a> following Hurricane Maria, and threatening tens of thousands already struggling without power in the wake of the record storm; and a 30-year old reminder<\/a> from then UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, of all people, that, yes, the nations of the world can<\/i> come together to save the planet in the fight against deadly emissions.<\/p>\n

Callers ring in today on all of that and more (and even on NASA’s totally “fake” moon landing!) in a very lively, and occasionally chilling, BradCast<\/i>…<\/p>\n
