Flynn's Sentencing Delayed; Amazon's Hiring Practices; ER Bills; Student Art Making a Difference
The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 19, 2018
Coming up on today's show:
- The sentencing for President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn has been postponed until 2019 after a judge threatened jail time. Josh Gerstein, senior legal affairs contributor for Politico, details Flynn's dramatic day in court, and what it means for the overall Russia investigation.
- Arva Rice, president and CEO of the New York Urban League, discusses concerns among civil rights leaders over hiring practices at Amazon’s planned campus in Queens.
- From cities to remote country towns, emergency medical bills usually come as a big surprise for patients. Sarah Kliff, Vox senior policy correspondent covering healthcare, talks about what she found during a year-long investigation into emergency room bills -- why the charges are so inconsistent and expensive.
- As incoming president Frances Bronet finishes her first year as president of Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, she and Adam Friedman, director of the Pratt Center for Community Development, talk about the work of the art and design school with a focus on social responsibility.
