'BradCast' 6/22/2026 (Scandals and Vandals, Memoranda and Referenda; Trump Reflecting Pool; U.S.-Iran negotiations; Billionaire tax in CA)

What this episode covers

On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump is pretending that his failed D.C. Reflecting Pool refurb is fantastic and is claiming the algae-filled water and peeling blue paint was caused by vandalism. New polling shows two-thirds of Americans strongly disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy and the Iran War. High stakes negotiations continue between the Trump administration and Iran, but experts say the hardline Iranian regime is likely to rake in hundreds of billions no matter how it turns out. A California proposal to levy a one-time tax on the state's billionaires has qualified for the state's November ballot, and has fractured support among unions, progressive, Democratic leaders, and other groups across the state. Callers weigh in.
