Ballot Initiatives and Referendums; Climate Story of the Week; When Your Pen Pal is Jeb Bush; Gather Around with Priya Parker

On today's show:

• Zach Montellaro, state politics reporter at Politico, covering gubernatorial, legislative and other state-based elections, discusses how Democrats and Republicans are using ballot initiatives and referendums to push policy proposals.
• All during the pledge drive, The Brian Lehrer Show quizzes listeners on whether something is true or whether it's a lie. Up today, a quiz on ballot initiatives and referendums.
• Neela Banerjee, NPR's deputy senior supervising climate editor, talks about the latest news on the climate.
• A few years ago, professional and personal lows left Adam Dalva, writer, editor and graphic novelist, in a hard place. When he didn't know who to vent to, he turned to an unlikely figure, never expecting a reply. Dalva joins us to discuss his unexpected correspondence with Jeb Bush.
• This week, the Brian Lehrer Show will end with a conversation on how we gather with Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters (Riverhead Books, 2018).
