'BradCast' 9/5/2025 (Encore: Historian Seth Cotlar on 'Americanism' and Trump's 'Stalinesque' plot to whitewash American history)

Encore: original airdate 8-20-2025. On today's 'BradCast': The Trump Administration has turned its authoritarian focus onto the independent Smithsonian Institution to 'ensure alignment' with Donald Trump's directive to celebrate 'Americanism.' The Organization of American Historians warns the order is 'in service of authoritarian control over the national narrative.' Historian SETH COTLAR explains the long, disturbing history of fascistic movements in America, embodied in the phrases 'Americanism' and 'America First,' and Trump's 'Stalinesque' effort to whitewash U.S. history. Texas Republicans move forward on their extreme gerrymandering scheme to steal U.S. House seats from voters, as both blue and red states examine their own potential redistricting countermeasures. A third federal judge rejected Trump's attempt to distract from his refusal to release the Epstein Files. A new folk music song hilariously declares that Trump's Epstein Files problem 'ain't gonna go away.'
