Summary
Encore: original airdate 5-18-2026. On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump has invented a new way to grift the nation. Trump has dropped his absurd $10 billion lawsuit against his own IRS, and in exchange, his Justice Department will create a $1.7 billion 'compensation' fund - - a slush fund operated by Trump himself to distribute to his supporters and cronies. ROBERT WEISSMAN of Public Citizen explains the unspeakably corrupt, taxpayer-funded Trump scam, and what can be done about it. The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency over an outbreak of Ebola in Africa. Mild Trump critic Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-VA) lost his primary bid for re-election. Protesters rallied in Selma, AL to protest the return of Jim Crow voter suppression laws as Southern states move to eliminate Black-majority U.S. House districts.
