'BradCast' 6/8/2022 (Guest: The Nation's John Nichols on lessons from midterm primaries so far, J6 hearings)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 We have notable results from several key races in yesterday's Super Tuesday primary elections in Iowa, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, California and Montana. Some highlights: in Montana, disgraced, scandal-plagued former Trump Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke is in a tight GOP primary race for the U.S. House. In California, the Los Angeles mayoral race heads to a runoff between self-funded Trumpy Republican real estate billionaire-turned-'Democrat' Rick Caruso and progressive U.S. House Rep. Karen Bass (D). Voters recalled San Francisco's District Attorney, progressive reformer Chesa Boudin. Despite the fact that overall crimes rates decreased during Boudin's tenure, national corporate news outlets are misreporting the recall as a 'backlash' against progressive criminal justice reform. Journalist and author JOHN NICHOLS of The Nation offers key insights and analysis on what Democrats and progressives should learn from this year's elections to date, the 'enthusiasm gap' between GOP and Democratic voter turnout, crucial details on the SF recall election, and much more. Nichols also delves into critical concerns about the upcoming hearings by the bipartisan U.S. House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, beginning on Thursday night. Will the hearings ultimately make any difference to a divided nation, with so many already having hardened their positions on Trump and his attempt to steal the 2020 election?"
