Brad is first joined by Charlie Cook, Founder and Contributor to 'The Cook Political Report,' and a political analyst for the National Journal and NBC News.

During the second half of the show, Brad leads a political round-table with Tara Devlin and Mark Grimaldi. The trio discuss the current state of American politics, including the country's broken campaign finance system, and the corporate media's narrative about the Biden administration and its opponents.
They also analyze what the best approach is for President Biden and congressional Democrats heading into the 2022 midterm elections.
