Monday Morning Politics; New York's Pot Politics; Who Is Make The Road?; Sen. Doug Jones; 10 Minute Explainer: Teenage Meltdowns

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 4, 2019

 

Coming up on today's show:

  • Jamelle Bouie, columnist for The New York Times, discusses the very latest in national politics.
  • Alyson Martin, cofounder of Cannabis Wire and adjunct professor at Columbia Journalism School, discusses the politics behind legalizing cannabis the state of New York.
  • As Governor Cuomo tries to win back Amazon, some grassroots organizations representing low income New Yorkers like Make the Road NY are pushing back. Javier Valdés, co-executive director of Make the Road New York, and Deborah Axt, Co-Executive Director of Make the Road NY, respond to the fact that the governor said he never heard of the group.
  • Doug Jones, U.S. Senator (D-AL) and the author of Bending Toward Justice: The Birmingham Church Bombing that Changed the Course of Civil Rights (All Points Books, 2019), talks about his new book and the state of the Democratic Party in Alabama.
  • For this membership drive, we will end each show with a ten minute explainer on a different topic each day. Up next, Dr. Lisa Damour, psychologist, New York Times columnist and author of Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls (Ballantine Books, 2019), explains why teenagers are so prone to meltdowns and offers advice on how to help.
