Drone Warfare in Pakistan; Dr. Oz in Hot Water; the 'Ira Glass' of Israel

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 24, 2015

President Obama gave an emotional apology for the deaths of two hostages – an American and an Italian – in a drone strike earlier this year. Politico's Senior White House reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere and VICE Media co-founder Suroosh Alvi analyze the presidential apology and explain the details of US-led drone strikes in Pakistan. Plus: a group of doctors trying to boot Dr. Oz out of Columbia University; teachers unions push back against Christie on pensions; a reporter talks about covering weddings and love; the “Ira Glass” of Israel.
