Coming up on today's show:
- Jamelle Bouie, columnist for The New York Times, discusses the very latest in national politics.
- Alyson Martin, cofounder of Cannabis Wire and adjunct professor at Columbia Journalism School, discusses the politics behind legalizing cannabis the state of New York.
- As Governor Cuomo tries to win back Amazon, some grassroots organizations representing low income New Yorkers like Make the Road NY are pushing back. Javier Valdés, co-executive director of Make the Road New York, and Deborah Axt, Co-Executive Director of Make the Road NY, respond to the fact that the governor said he never heard of the group.

Up next, Dr. Lisa Damour, psychologist, New York Times columnist and author of Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls (Ballantine Books, 2019), explains why teenagers are so prone to meltdowns and offers advice on how to help.
