'BradCast' 10/7/2026 (Saudi Arabia's Trump Family Bribes Not Paying Off as War Expands in Middle East; Guest: Nicholas Grossman, Univ. of IL)

On today's 'BradCast': A climate change-intensified, record-shattering extreme heat is broiling Southern California. A rapidly-intensifying hurricane, fueled by record-warm ocean waters, is headed for the US Gulf Coast. Big Oil is begging the rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court to dismiss dozens of climate change liability lawsuits. Donald Trump's Iran War continues to spike gasoline and diesel prices, shaking up the US midterm elections. NICHOLAS GROSSMAN of the University of Illinois explains his new article detailing the Saudi Arabia's failed bet on Trumpism; how the Saudis' unprecedented bribes paid to Trump and his family have failed to pay off now that Saudi Arabia faces direct attacks from Trump's Iran War; potential pathways out of the mess; when and how this ill-considered war might conclude, and much more.
