The Arizona, Florida and Oklahoma Primaries. And an update on Brett Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Plus a New Study on the Effect of Consuming Marijuana on Pregnant and Nursing Women


00:08- On Today’s show we look at the primary elections in Arizona, Florida and Oklahoma. In Florida, a candidate endorsed by Bernie Sanders faces a candidate endorsed by President Trump. We discuss that and more with the Washington correspondent for The Nation Magazine John Nichols (@NicholsUprising)

 

00:34- An interview with Anna Rabkin, former Berkeley City Auditor. We talk about her new memoir From Krakow to Berkeley: Coming out of hiding

The book addresses the challenges Anna faced: the scourge of anti-Semitism, the marital tensions a wife’s career can create, and the vindictiveness of electoral politics.

 

1:08- What’s going with Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation? We discuss with Mitch Jeserich (@MitchJeserich ), host of Letters and Politics, anchoring next week’s gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Brett Cavanaugh confirmation hearing.
