About this episode

The episode discusses California's primary election updates and reveals how corporate donors to Trump have benefited from government contracts.

On today's 'BradCast': New updates in California's primary election results include the Los Angeles mayoral race and the fight to see who will secure the second top spot for the general election in the governor's race. California's careful ballot-counting process and new reporting debunks Donald Trump's repetitive, baseless claims that any election outcome he doesn't like is 'rigged.' ROBERT WEISSMAN of the indispensable government watchdog Public Citizen explains their new report revealing unprecedented levels of grift by Trump, exposing how corporations that donated to Trump's ballroom have received more than $50 billion in new and expanded government contracts over the last six months. Weissman also covers the wildly illegal IRS immunity deal benefiting Trump and his family, and much more. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
