The Trump 'Hush Money' Trial, So Far; Reporters Ask the Mayor; Reframing 'Free' Beyond Markets; News From Your Classroom
The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 24, 2024
Coming up on today's show:
- Erica Orden, Politico reporter, recaps what has happened so far at former President Trump's "hush money" trial, where David Pecker, the former publisher for the National Enquirer, testified about that publication's "catch and kill" strategy to suppress negative stories about people like Donald Trump.
- Mayor Adams holds one off-topic press conference per week, where reporters can ask him questions on any subject. Elizabeth Kim, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, recaps what he talked about at this week's event.
- Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate in economics, university professor at Columbia University, chief economist at the Roosevelt Institute, and author of The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society (W.W.Norton, 2024), argues the neoliberal idea of freedom has led to economic crises and social unrest and argues for a more humane, 21st-century reframing of the concept.
- With teachers and students off of school this week, we open up the phones to hear stories from local classrooms that would otherwise be missed if not for the vacation.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
