The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 18, 2020

Coming up on today's show:

  • Jonathan Mahler, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and author of Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx Is Burning (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005), explores Trump's potential criminal liability and the historic dilemma that may follow.
  • Eric Adams, Brooklyn Borough President, talks about COVID-19 in Brooklyn and shares some news.
  • Joe Biden has proposed changes that would affect millions of student loan borrowers. Others in the Democratic Party have pushed for student debt to be forgiven. Sarah Jones, senior writer at the Intelligencer and New York Magazine, joins to talk about what a Trump presidency has meant for student borrowers and what Biden can do on Day 1.
  • Alex Zimmerman, reporter at Chalkbeat New York, talks about the various strategies teachers are employing to make remote learning work, the lack of centralized support from the city, and your calls on what's working (and what's not).
