Monday Morning Politics; Ask the Mayor 'Tryouts': Raymond McGuire; Private Prisoner Transportation; Covering Climate Now: Electric Vehicles

Coming up on today's show:

• Philip Bump, national correspondent for The Washington Post, talks about the latest national political news, from police gun violence to the news from late last week that the Biden administration will raise the refugee cap.
• Raymond McGuire, former Citigroup executive and mayoral hopeful, takes calls from listeners about his campaign and the issues facing the City.
• Private transportation companies that contract with jails and prisons are often paid by the mile, which can incentivize longer routes, avoiding stops and ignoring the critical needs of passengers, which has had deadly consequences in some cases. Alysia Santo, reporter for The Marshall Project, and Bianca Tylek, Worth Rises’ executive director, talk about the business of prison transportation and take your calls. 
• Steven Mufson, business of climate change reporter at The Washington Post, talks about the role of EVs in meeting the U.S. climate goals, President Biden's proposed boost to the industry in his infrastructure plan, and the practicalities of shifting from gas-powered vehicles to electric ones. Plus Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish and his newest, The Climate Diet: 50 Simple Ways to Trim Your Carbon Footprint (Penguin Books, 2021), shares his experience with an electric vehicle in Manhattan.
