Coming up on today's show:
- Kira Lerner, democracy reporter at States Newsroom, talks about the four swing states with governors' races that could upend the 2024 presidential election.
- All week, the Brian Lehrer Show will quiz listeners on whether something is true or whether it's a lie. Up first, a quiz on how votes are counted and certified.
- Katty Kay, U.S. special correspondent to BBC Studios and MSNBC contributor, traveled across the United States talking to voters and politicians about the impact of former President Trump on America and his potential 2024 run for the presidency. She talks about her reporting and her new BBC news special, “Trump: The Comeback?”.
- Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian and the author of And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle (Random House, 2022), talks about his new book.
- We conclude our year-long series getting to know the trees around us with our guide Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, and three conversations. Today, Robert Macfarlane, a fellow at the University of Cambridge and the author of several books, including Underland: A Deep Time Journey (W. W. Norton & Company, 2019), shares his insights into how trees connect to each other, and our place in the natural world.
