The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 14, 2021
Coming up on today's show:
- Luke Broadwater, congressional correspondent for The New York Times, talks about the latest turns in the investigation into the January 6th attack on the Capitol, including the recent shift in focus to President Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
- Steven Banks, commissioner of the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), Department of Social Services (DSS) and Department of Homeless Services (DHS), joins to discuss his tenure under the De Blasio administration.
- Many people infected with the coronavirus continue to experience persistent symptoms long after they receive a negative test. Janna Friedly, MD, MPH, vice chair for clinical affairs at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, talks about where we are in researching and treating long haul COVID, and Christopher Rowland, Washington Post reporter on the business of healthcare, talks about his latest investigation into how the disease is forcing a portion of the population to drop out of the workforce and rack up huge debts.
- It's month two of our year-long project, #BLTrees. Marielle Anzelone, botanist and founder of NYC Wildflower Week (.org), and Regina Alvarez, assistant professor of biology at Dominican College and former director of Urban Horticulture and Woodland Management at the Central Park Conservancy, talk about what's happening with the trees as the weather gets colder and offer tips for identifying trees in their leaf-less state, based on their trunks and branches.
Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
