The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 23, 2021

Coming up on today's show: 

  • While there probably won't be a final result in the race to be the Democratic nominee for mayor for several weeks, Brigid Bergin, WNYC's senior political correspondent, and Elizabeth Kim, senior editor for Gothamist, talk about what results we do have so far.
  • Nicholas Wu, congressional reporter for Politico, talks about the latest news coming out of Congress.
  • Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast FAQNYC, politics editor at The Grio and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), and Harry Siegel, FAQ NYC co-host, New York Daily News columnist and The Daily Beast senior editor, talk about where the big races and candidates landed, and what results we know so far.
  • On Monday, the Las Vegas Raiders' Carl Nassib announced on Instagram that he is gay. Jane McManus, the director of Marist's Center for Sports Communication and a Deadspin sports columnist, and Jeff Rueter, staff writer at The Athletic, join to discuss the news and what society expects from male professional athletes.

Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
