Tri-State Election Roundup; Biden's Response to Disinformation; Yuval Noah Harari's Message for Kids; Your NYC Marathon Calls
The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 7, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- With one day to go before Election Day, Jimmy Vielkind, reporter for The Wall Street Journal covering the tri-state area, Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, host of the Ask Governor Murphy monthly call-in show and of the new podcast Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery, and Lisa Hagen, federal policy reporter for both CT Mirror and CT Public, talk about the competitive Congressional races in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, respectively.
- Early on, the Biden administration promised to address the spread of disinformation. Andrea Bernstein, who covers democracy for ProPublica, contributes to NPR on Trump legal matters, and co-hosts the podcasts Will Be Wild and Trump, Inc., and Ilya Marritz, freelance reporter for ProPublica, NPR, and co-host of the podcasts Trump, Inc. and Will be Wild, talk about how the administration's actions to address it haven't been as strong as they initially indicated.
- Yuval Noah Harari, historian, philosopher, and the author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and his latest, for young readers, Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World (Bright Matter Books, 2022), shares his long view on human history and the choices humans made that got us here, and what it would take to change.
- The NYC Marathon was yesterday, and 50,000 runners covered 26.2 miles on a path through all 5 boroughs. Listeners who ran call-in to discuss how they performed, what their run means to them, and how they faired in the unusually warm November weather.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
