'BradCast' 4/18/2023 (Guest: David Margolick on Trump's bizarre anti-Semitic slurs; Fox settles with Dominion for $787.5 million)
On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 The disgraced former president is slimier and even more racist than you knew. And Fox 'News' is at least as slimy and racist as you thought.\xa0 Moments before a trial was set to begin in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox 'News', Fox agreed to pay $787.5 million to make the case go away, essentially conceding that their false claims that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from Trump were indeed all lies.\xa0 But Fox also has several more defamation lawsuits seeking to hold them accountable for their 2020 lies, along with shareholder lawsuits. The nation's largest progressive veterans group, Vote Vets, launched a campaign to demand U.S. military installations stop airing Fox's disinformation in common areas. Author and journalist DAVID MARGOLICK discusses Donald Trump's recent, weird comments insinuating that Special Counsel Jack Smith has changed his name. Margolick explains how it's a long-faded, anti-Semitic, racist trope that was previously used to tar Jewish entertainers and others, and delves into the long history of racist and anti-Semitic 'dog whistles' that Trump has revived, which are now being normalized in the Republican Party. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
