Mayor Adams' Job Performance; San Francisco's DA Recall; Celebrating Juneteenth and Pride; #BLTrees: June

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 16, 2022

Coming up on today's show:

  • Don Levy, director of the Siena College Research Institute (SCRI), talks about Siena's recent poll that found only 29% of New Yorkers think Mayor Adams is doing an "excellent" or "good" job so far. And Emily Ngo, NY1 political reporter, talks about the other findings in the poll, which asked people about quality of life issues and whether they approved of the administration's policies.
  • John Pfaff, professor at the Fordham University School of Law, shares his analysis of what the recall of San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin means for progressive prosecutors.
  • Kai Wright, host of the WNYC's The United States of Anxiety, joins to take listener calls on how they celebrate Juneteenth and Pride month.
  • We check in on our year-long project #BLTrees, following the seasons through the trees around us with Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week. This month, Charles Nilon, professor in the University of Missouri School of Natural Resources, talks about his research and the intersection of trees and environmental justice.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
