On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Most of Florida appears to have dodged a bullet -- although Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina aren't in the clear yet -- after the deadly and incredibly slow-moving Hurricane Dorian heads northward to the US after catastrophically devastating The Bahamas. Former Weather Channel meteorologist GUY WALTON, who now tracks extreme weather and our worsening climate crisis at his website, GuyOnClimate.com, offers insights into what has made Dorian such an unusual, deadly, and unpredictable storm. Also today:\xa0 another mass shooting in Texas, this time in the West Texas towns of Odessa and Midland, has resulted in 7 killed, more than 20 injured, a cowardly, sputtering US president who doesn't have a clue what to do about it, and a cowardly Texas governor who \u2013 after recently weakening gun restrictions in Texas -- now suggests he might be willing to take action that might actually help protect Texans, for a change, in curbing the rising scourge of gun massacres in the state since he took office. Don't hold your breath -- Texas Governor Greg Abbot, like Donald Trump, is a Republican who lives in fear of the terrorist-enabling NRA and places his own political career over the actual lives of the people he is sworn to protect and serve. Democratic voters in Iowa and Nevada dodged a figurative bullet in their upcoming 2020 caucuses, thanks to a few experts who hacked a recent closed telephone conference call held by the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee, which was considering plans by those two states to add unsecure remote telephone voting options to their February caucuses. Plus late-breaking news that North Carolina's state supreme court has ruled the state's GOP-gerrymandered legislative districts unconstitutional and must be redrawn before the 2020 elections.
