## Resource

Encore: original airdate 6-4-2026. On today's 'BradCast': Even Congressional Republicans are now pushing back against Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump's personal defense attorney-turned-Acting U.S. Attorney General, Todd Blanche, declared the slush fund all but dead, but refuses to put it in writing. Convicted J6er JASON RIDDLE explains why he rejected a pardon from Trump and wants nothing to do with the scammy, unlawful, so-called 'compensation' slush fund, how he finally extricated himself from the MAGA movement, and much more. Some thoughts on the rightwing billionaire takeover of CBS News, the gutting of the iconic '60 Minutes' news magazine, and the firing of its veteran correspondent Scott Pelley. Plus Desi Doyen has our 'Green News Report.'
