Impeachment Recap; COVID Vaccine Policies; Getting Women Elected; Ethics of Owl-Watching

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 9, 2021

Coming up on today's show: 

  • Ari Melber, chief legal correspondent for MSNBC and host of "The Beat with Ari Melber", joins to preview the Senate impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump.
  • The medical community is debating whether to use all COVID-19 vaccine doses on hand or hold back some to make sure the supply of second shots is secure. Jonathan Cohn, senior national correspondent at HuffPost, breaks down each side of the argument.
  • Stephanie Schriock, outgoing president of EMILY’s List and the author of Run to Win: Lessons in Leadership for Women Changing the World (Dutton, 2021), talks about her new book (with a forward by Vice President Harris) and shares what she's learned about getting women elected to office.
  • The pandemic has drawn more interest to NYC's birds, especially this winter's owls. With (socially-distanced) crowds gathering each evening in Central Park to catch sight of a snowy owl, Kaitlyn Parkins, senior conservation biologist at New York City Audubon, offers guidance on how to participate without causing harm to the birds. 

Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
