The Brian Lehrer Show | May 2, 2023

On today's show:

  • Jon Campbell, Albany reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, and Yancey Roy, Albany bureau chief for Newsday, dig into the details of the budget deal and discuss the heavy influence of the suburbs.
  • Raymond Zhong, climate reporter for The New York Times, unpacks a new study by researchers in the U.K. that locates where regional temperature records "are statistically likely to be exceeded" and vulnerable global communities exposed to significant climate-related healthcare and energy risks.
  • Matt Katz, WNYC Public Safety correspondent, is joined by Lindsay Nash, associate professor of law and co-director of the Immigration Justice Clinic at Cardozo Law School, to talk about the extraordinary case of Lorenzo Charles who was deported in 2003, but was able to successfully fight to undo the deportation and return to Brooklyn and whether his path back is open to others.
  • Yesterday was Met Gala Monday, one of the biggest nights in fashion each year. Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times fashion director and chief fashion critic, discusses this year's theme honoring the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, his controversies, the attendees and their attire, and more.
