Why Masking ICE Agents Matters; The Fight to End Deed Theft Evictions; Tucker Carlson's World; Your Winter Culture Binges

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 4

On today's show:

Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic, talks about what it means for accountability when ICE agents are allowed to be masked.
For years, the deed theft crises has been forcing New Yorkers out of their homes. Councilmember Chi Ossé discusses his efforts to protect homeowners from eviction while their cases are pending.
Jason Zengerle, staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind (Crooked Media Reads, 2027), talks about the development of right-wing media through the story of Tucker Carlson.
Listeners call in to talk about the movies, tv shows, books and music they're consuming as the cold temperatures mean more time indoors.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
