b"We're happy to report that no nuclear weapons, either by North Korea or the U.S., were fired off over a weekend of high tensions amid U.S. Navy battleships sent to the Korean Peninsula as North Korea prepared for their biggest holiday of the year over the weekend, when they have, in years past, test fired new missiles or nuclear weapons. Kim Jong-Un did attempt to fire a missile, but it reportedly blew up upon launch. The failure was the latest in an unusual string of similarly failed tests in the isolated nation recently. So, are we now seeing the results of U.S. cyber-warfare, as reportedly launched against North Korea three years ago by President Obama? Administration sources have been dodgy over the weekend, but say they'd prefer something 'short of a military option' if possible. In the meantime, today, Trump bashed his Democratic predecessors Bill Clinton and Obama for their policies in NK, but failed to mention George W. Bush (on whose watch NK developed their nuclear weapons program!). His poll numbers continue to fall, particularly on whether Americans believe him to be someone who 'keeps his promises'.\\xa0 All of that may be on the minds of voters, as they head to the polls for another U.S. House special election on Tuesday in Georgia's 6th Congressional District, to fill the seat vacated by Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. Will Democrats have any better luck in picking off the seat from Republicans in Georgia than they did last week in Kansas? Both districts are heavily Republican, but unlike the district in KS, which voted for Trump by nearly 30 percent in November, he won GA-6 by just over one point. A popular young Democratic candidate, Jon Ossoff, has racked up a record amount of money for this House race, largely from grassroots activists, and is far ahead of a split field of Republicans in an unusual 'all-party' primary, in which a candidate who wins by more than 50% wins outright, or otherwise goes on to face the second place finisher in a run-off in June.\\xa0 Jim Dean, chair of Democracy for America (founded following his brother Howard Dean's Presidential run in 2004), joins us to handicap Ossoff's chances of winning outright on Tuesday, and to explain his strong critique of the national Democratic Party for failing to adequately support the Dem candidate last week in Kansas. Finally, we close today with the BP oil well leak that's been spewing both oil and natural gas onto Alaska's North Slope near Prudhoe Bay since last Friday..."
