'BradCast' 9/22/2017: (The 'Madman' v. the 'Mentally Deranged')
b"Today we open the phone lines to callers, mainly on the Donald Trump v. Kim Jong Un madness that may get us all killed. As you recall, Trump called Kim 'Rocket Man' and threatened to 'totally destroy North Korea' at the UN. In turn, Kim issued an unprecedented first person response describing Trump as 'mentally deranged', and Trump answered back via Twitter describing Kim as a 'madman'.

John McCain says he's a 'no' on the last-gasp desperate efforts by Senate Republicans to gut the Affordable Care Act with a wildly unpopular bill that would take hundreds of billions away from federal health care coverage. Does that finally signal the end of the GOP zombie-like attempt to 'repeal and replace' ObamaCare? Don't count your chickens just yet. Also today: breaking news on a dam in Puerto Rico that is failing following Hurricane Maria, and now threatening tens of thousands already struggling without power in the wake of the record storm, and a 30-year old reminder from then UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, of all people, that, yes, the nation's of the world CAN come together to save the planet in the fight against deadly emissions. Callers ring in today on all of that (and even on NASA's totally 'fake' moon landing!)..."
