On today's 'BradCast': A crazy election recount in California hopefully won't be a harbinger of election challenges in the critical upcoming November 2024 election. The state's March 5 Super Tuesday primary resulted in an exact tie for 2nd place to fill a U.S. House seat that could determine majority control of Congress. California law allows any voter to request a recount if they pay exorbitant fees that vary wildly by county, so only wealthy candidates can afford one. DR. JOHN MAA, an expert in CA election recounts, explains how this recount exposed many flaws in California's antiquated recount laws, the need for standardization of costs, and much more. Legal woes mount for top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon, disgraced former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and sitting Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez. In his New York criminal hush money-election interference trial, Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen directly implicated Trump. Callers weigh in.
