The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 26, 2021
On today's show:
- U.S. Representative Mondaire Jones (D- NY17, Rockland County and part of Westchester County), talks about his first weeks in Congress in the wake of the attack and amid the pandemic, as the Biden administration gets underway.
- Andrew Yang, entrepreneur, founder of Humanity Forward, 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful, now running for NYC Mayor in 2021, talks about his campaign.
- Last summer, during protests against police violence spurred by George Floyd's death, protesters say police used excessive force to disperse the crowd (the city now also acknowledges this to be true). Jami Floyd, senior editor for race and justice at WNYC, and Selenah Martin, a protestor, talk about what happened that night, and what kinds of police reform advocates and protesters are calling for.
- Dorit Reiss, law professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law who specializes in vaccine law policy, talks about whether employers can legally mandate their employees to get vaccinated.
