What Next | Daily News and Analysis - There’s Something in the Water

When Christopher Werth saw some paint chips falling off a radiator in his daughter’s New York City classroom, he picked one up and sent it to get tested. The results spurred him to launch a larger investigation into lead exposure in New York City classrooms.

Just across the river in Newark, New Jersey, another city is dealing with its own lead troubles. Elevated levels of the metal have been found in the city’s drinking water.

What do these two cases tell us about the legacy of lead in America? And what can be done about it?

The Daily Signal - #538: How the Sexual Revolution Gave Us Identity Politics

"If you ask the question, ‘Who am I?’ — up until the sexual revolution, that was not a hard question to answer," says Mary Eberstadt, author of the new book, "Primal Screams." She joins the podcast to discuss identity politics, the "pre-rational emotional expressionism" present in our political discussions today, and more.


We also cover these stories:

• Walmart is changing its gun policies.

• Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he could schedule a vote on gun control legislation if the White House expresses support.

• Sen. Ted Cruz and activist Alyssa Milano are planning to have a meeting on gun control, after a series of tweets.

The Gist - The Big Power of Right-Wing Radio

On The Gist, how hurricanes are like racism. 

In the interview, talk radio has shaped so much of our political discourse, often in ways we don’t even realize. Brian Rosenwald sought to figure out just how much influence it’s had and condensed it all into his new book Talk Radio’s America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States. He’s here to talk with Mike about Rush Limbaugh’s early years, the outsized importance of Roger Ailes, and where this leaves us today.

In the Spiel, president Trump’s pre-hurricane golfing is the last thing we should be worrying about.
