Why the Trump Documents Matter; Democrats and Labels; NYC's Carriage Horses; Teachers on COVID Lessons

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 26, 2022

On today's show:

  • Rosalind Helderman, political enterprise and investigations reporter for The Washington Post, shares updates from her reporting on the legal saga over presidential documents that Donald Trump removed from the White House and held at Mar-a-Lago.
  • Blake Hounshell, editor of The New York Times' On Politics newsletter, discusses his latest article on how some Democrats, who once ran away from the "liberal" label in the 1990s, are now also moving away from the term "progressive."
  • Catalina Gonella, reporter at the WNYC Newsroom and Gothamist, discusses how the carriage horse who recently collapsed in Hell's Kitchen has reignited the conversation on whether horses should be pulling carriages on city streets at all.
  • All week, The Brian Lehrer Show is taking calls from educators about the challenges they are anticipating ahead of the school year. Today, they call in to share how they've been teaching through COVID and how they will teach students about the pandemic in the future.

 

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