Monday Morning Politics; Where the Mueller Investigation is Headed; Children at Risk on the Border; The Problem of Motherhood in America
The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 17, 2018
Coming up on today's show:
- Jim Antle, editor of The American Conservative, and Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation magazine, talk about the latest national political news, including a recent ruling striking down Obamacare as 'unconstitutional,' the ongoing war in Yemen and the looming government shutdown.
- Jill Wine-Banks, MSNBC contributor and legal analyst and former Watergate special prosecutor, offers analysis of where the Mueller investigation stands (and how close it is to the president) after a few busy weeks of activity.
- Fernanda Santos, Arizona State University Southwest Borderlands Initiative professor of journalism, discusses the dangerous road taken by immigrant children crossing the southern U.S. border and inside border detention facilities.
- Spurred by her personal realization about America's "messed-up" treatment of motherhood, Amy Westervelt, journalist and the author of Forget "Having It All": How America Messed Up Motherhood — and How to Fix It (Seal Press, 2018), asks, "How did we get here?" and how to fix it.
