Monday Morning Politics; Meet Your New Congress Members: NY-4 and NY-18; How Climate Change Affects Children's Health

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 28, 2022

Coming up on today's show:

  • Susan Page, USA Today Washington bureau chief and the author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power (Twelve, 2021), talks about the latest national political news.
  • Anthony D'Esposito, US representative-elect (R, NY-4), introduces himself to listeners and talks about his priorities for his Long Island district, then Pat Ryan, US representative (D, NY-19) and representative-elect in New York's 18th Congressional district, does the same.
  • Frederica Perera, professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and director of the Translational Research Program at Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health and the author of Children's Health and the Peril of Climate Change (Oxford University Press, 2022), shares her research that shows how children's health has been harmed by climate change and the cause, fossil fuel consumption.

  • Listeners call in to share the news from their Thanksgiving tables -- including whether anyone caught COVID (and whether any precautions were in place), if people watched the World Cup despite the calls from some to boycott and whatever else came up in conversation.

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