Rep. Malinowski; Vaccine Messaging; Introverts and Extroverts; #AskTheMayor

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 19, 2021

On today's show:

  • U.S. Representative Tom Malinowski (D NJ-7) served as assistant secretary of state for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the Obama administration. He talks about the relief package and the Biden approach to foreign policy and human rights, plus other national issues.
  • Katherine Wu, staff writer for The Atlantic, where she covers science, discusses the need for better messaging when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine and takes calls from listeners whose friends and family members are skeptical about the vaccine.
  • In any other year, extroverts had it over introverts in terms of dealing with the social pressures and interactions of daily life. This year, it may be the introverts who are having an easier time. We take your calls on how you're coping with limited social interactions if you're naturally extroverted, and if you're introverted: have you reached a limit on how much alone time you can take?
  • New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.

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