The Assassination of Haiti's President; City Storms and Where the Water Goes; Comptroller Candidate: Brad Lander; Your No-Cook Recipes for Hot Days
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 13, 2021
Coming up on today's show:
- A little under a week after the assassination of President Moïse, Haitian police have arrested one of the suspected masterminds in Florida. Catherine Porter, Toronto Bureau Chief for The New York Times, and Marlene L. Daut, professor in and associate director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African American and African Studies at the University of Virginia, update us on the ongoing investigations and break down the history that got us here.
- Anne Barnard, New York Times reporter covering climate and environment for the Metro desk, talks about NYC's infrastructure and its ability to handle the drenching downpours that last week overwhelmed some subway stops and roads—and led to the cancellation of the swimming portion of last weekend's NYC Triathlon.
- Brad Lander, New York City Council Member for the 39th district in Brooklyn and the apparent winner of the NYC Comptroller's Democratic primary, talks about the outcome of the first ranked choice voting primary and how he sees the role of comptroller.
- When temperatures soar, turning on the oven can feel like a personal affront. Vaughn Vreeland, senior video journalist for NYT Cooking, offers some creative heatwave recipes and answers your no-cook cooking questions.
Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
