The 'White-Grievance Industry'; NY Gun Lawsuit; True/False Quiz; Good Climate News; Summer Music Preview

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 2, 2022

Coming up on today's show:

  • Jennifer Rubin, opinion columnist for The Washington Post, offers her thoughts on how what she calls the "White-grievance industry" fuels Republicans and anti-Democratic ideas, and what she thinks Democrats should do about it.

  • Jake Charles, lecturing fellow and executive director of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke University, joins to discuss the lawsuit against the manufacturer Glock—and an impending Supreme Court ruling on whether to expand New Yorkers' rights to carry guns.

  • How closely have you been listening to The Brian Lehrer Show lately? Brian quizzes listeners with facts about government, politics, geography and more.

  • News about climate change tends to be uniformly bad, but Mic has compiled stories that give reason for some hope. AJ Dellinger, impact writer at Mic, shares a bit of climate optimism.

  • John Schaefer, host of WNYC's New Sounds, talks about what music events and concerts to look forward to this summer—especially outdoors, as the city is dealing with yet another wave of COVID cases.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
