'BradCast' 10/29/2025 (Guest: The Prospect's Harold Meyerson on 'the first politically viable wealth tax' in CA)

On today's 'BradCast': Hurricane Melissa continues its record-shattering path of destruction across the Caribbean. Donald Trump fired everyone on the federal commission that would have reviewed plans for his $350 million ballroom and other proposed projects. In New York City, Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has proposed a popular 'affordability' agenda, funded in part by a small surcharge on millionaires. In California, a new proposal aiming for the 2026 ballot focuses on a one-time tax on the wealth of the state's billionaires, to fund the state's Medicaid program after Trump and Congressional Republicans gutted the federal program with a massive, trillion-dollar cut to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans. The American Prospect's HAROLD MEYERSON discusses the California wealth tax, counters the many criticisms against such efforts, and much more.
