Midterms and extremism, plus, an interview with Chelsea Manning

Rep. Peter Meijer is one of only 10 Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach then-President Trump after the January 6 Capitol attack. He joins to discuss the rise of extreme candidates in 2022, narrowly losing his primary to a Trump-backed election denier, and the responsibility he thinks the Democrats should take for their spending on amplifying the views of far-right Republican candidates.

Former Army Intelligence Analyst and “README.txt” author Chelsea Manning, leaked hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, shaking up everything we thought we knew about US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She tells Jake what pushed her to take that extreme step, discusses being a survivor of sexual assault while in the military, and gives a message to trans kids. Plus, “Hamilton” creator Lin Manuel Miranda tells Jake how he hopes to rally young Latino voters to support Democratic candidates in the midterms.

Hosted by Jake Tapper.
