Terry McAuliffe, governor of Virginia (2014-2018) and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and the author of (with an introduction by Rep. John Lewis) Beyond Charlottesville: Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism (Thomas Dunne Books, 2019), walks through what happened in Charlottesville and how to prevent those events from happening again.

A new report from Jackson Heights housing advocacy group Chhaya CDC reveals that small homes in Queens are increasingly being purchased by investment companies as opposed to new families. William Spisak, director of programs at Chhaya, and Yangchen Chadotsang, housing preservation program manager at Chhaya, talk about the group's new report on the way small homes in Queens are being increasingly purchased by investment companies instead of families, often new immigrants, and what that means for the neighborhoods.

Andy Newman, New York Times metro reporter, chronicled his day as a deliveryman for delivery apps like Grubhub and Seamless. Here's a video of what that day looked like from his perspective.

From Andy's story:

Delivering in the city, I learned that some people apparently consider the person who risked life and limb to bring them their cheese rose oolong tea unworthy of even hello. A lot of my deliveries were to fancy new glass towers that looked like the buildings in video games. The twentysomethings inside would barely crack the apartment door enough to take the bag of food, or maybe just mouth “thanks” without interrupting their phone call.

Andy's reporting found that delivery middle-men apps like DoorDash are manipulating the tipping economy in a way that saves the company money, but costs workers' tips. Hear him break it down by "delivering" a burrito to Brian in the studio.

Andy learned how this everything-on-demand technology is transforming low-wage work and joined us to share his experience and answer your calls. 

Michael Waldman, president of The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law and the author of The Fight to Vote (Simon & Schuster, 2016), talks about the ongoing threat of foreign interference with U.S. elections and what is — and what is not — being done about it.

Ahead of Special Council Robert Mueller's testimony to Congress on Wednesday, Waldman published a piece calling on Congress to pass a "sweeping anti-corruption bill, H.R. 1 or the For the People Act." Of the hearings, Waldman wrote:

 The bill has passed the House, but it doesn't look likely to make any headway in the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had this to say about the resolution, which he referred to sarcastically as, "the Democrat Politician Protection Act":

“This sprawling, comprehensive proposal is basically the far left’s entire Christmas wish list where our nation’s political process is concerned... It’s an attempt to rewrite the rules of American politics in order to benefit one side over the other."

Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Representative (NY-8) and House Democratic caucus chairman, discusses Wednesday's Judiciary Committee hearing with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

 Here's a little bit of the back and forth between Rep. Jeffries and Mueller from the hearing:

 In January, Rep. Jeffries told MSNBC's Chuck Todd that it was too soon for impeachment proceedings. A week before the hearings, he appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he said that the Judiciary Committee on which he sits would have to sort out whether impeachment was appropriate, based on Mueller's testimony. In the hours between that hearing and his appearance on The Brian Lehrer Show, Jeffries' tweets have taken a firmer tone:

Republican #CoverUpCaucus embarrassed themselves today.They peddled conspiracy theories.We came with FACTS.Obstruction. Of. Justice.

 Rep. Hakeem Jeffries joins The Brian Lehrer Show to talk about what happens next, in the wake of Robert Mueller's  testimony. 

David Corn, Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, MSNBC analyst and co-author of Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump (Twelve, 2018), discusses what we learned from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

 From Corn's latest Mother Jones piece, "Mueller Reminds the Public: Trump Betrayed the United States":

There’s an old saying in newsrooms: News is stuff that people have forgotten. Robert Mueller’s dramatic appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday morning was a striking reminder of this adage. The former special counsel did not drop any new revelations about the Trump-Russia affair. Yet in a simple but important manner, he reiterated the basics of this scandal—perhaps the most consequential political scandal in American history. 

Brian, the Washington Post's Rosalind Helderman and WNYC's Andrea Bernstein take calls and break down Robert Mueller's testimony before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees.
