Sexism in the White House; Bipartisan Deal to Fund Insurance Subsidies; Developers Donate to Upstate Candidates; 'Black Monday'; Fall Culture Moment: Art

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 18, 2017

Coming up on today's show:

  • Michelle Goldberg, Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times and former Slate columnist, talks about her latest column on why Republican outrage over Harvey Weinstein is hypocritical and the 'Me Too' campaign on social media.

  • Jennifer Haberkorn, senior health care reporter for POLITICO Pro, explains how Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) came to a bipartisan deal to provide funding for  subsidies to health insurers that President Trump said last week that he would cut off.

  • WNYC reporter Jessica Gould, Real Deal reporter Will Parker, and Cezary Podkul, Wall Street Journal reporter and former reporter at ProPublica, talk about why real estate developers donate to political campaigns both in the city and in Upstate New York - what they're hoping to get out of it, and what they do get out of it.

  • On October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones had its biggest one-day drop in Wall Street history. On the 30th anniversary of the crash, Alexandra Starr, WNYC reporter, looks at the causes, and how that might apply to Wall Street today.

  • Deborah Solomon, WNYC art critic and the author of American Mirror: The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013), looks ahead to some of the great museum and gallery shows to see in the area this fall.
