'BradCast' 8/7/2026 (Encore: This is What Kleptocracy Looks Like)

What this episode covers

Encore: original airdate 7-30-2026. On today's 'BradCast': A U.S. military base in Illinois really did record a sweltering heat index of 130F, likely intensified by 'corn sweat' from nearby fields. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) slowed the confirmation of Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, as U.S. Attorney General, but Blanche can indefinitely continue as Deputy AG. Senate Republicans approve of Trump's unprecedented grift and graft as the most corrupt and self-dealing president in US history -- by allowing Trump's scheme to steal $100 million in taxpayer money from his corrupt IRS immunity deal and his $1.8 billion slush fund; disappear $13 billion in Venezuelan oil revenue and millions in corporate donations to his library; and much more. This is what kleptocracy looks like. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.
