The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 22, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- Amy Walter, publisher and editor-in-chief of Cook Political Report, joins to discuss the latest political headlines.
- In July, the U.S. finally regained all the jobs lost in the COVID recession — but New York City only regained about 82% of those jobs lost. Greg David, contributor covering fiscal and economic issues for THE CITY and director of the business and economics reporting program and Ravitch Fiscal Reporting Program at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, explains what's behind the employment decline.
- Heath Hockenberry, national fire weather program manager for the National Weather Service, joins to explain what a "red flag warning" means for the tri-state area and how listeners can protect themselves against wildfires.
- All week, The Brian Lehrer Show will take calls from teachers about the challenges they are anticipating ahead of the school year. Today, social studies teachers call in to share on how they're dealing with political pressure on how to teach history.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
