The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 3, 2022
On today's show:
- William Rhoden, writer-at-large for the site The Undefeated and former longtime sports columnist at The New York Times, discusses the lawsuit of former head coach Brian Flores against the NFL and three teams, including the New York Giants, alleging racism in hiring practices.
- Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman talks about his controversial executive order last month which gave school boards the choice to flout the governor's mask mandate.
- Leana Wen, MD, emergency physician, professor at George Washington University, contributing columnist for The Washington Post, CNN medical analyst, former Baltimore Health Commissioner and the author of Lifelines: A Doctor's Journey in the Fight for Public Health (Metropolitan Books, 2021), explains her view that because new variants are likely to arise, taking advantage of the end of the omicron wave to relax restrictions might make sense -- and talks about the latest developments with a vaccine for kids under five.
- The New York Times published a story late last month about an otherwise great apartment with no toilet. Listeners call in with their stories on what was strikingly wrong with too-good-to-be-true real estate.
