BPR Full Show 9/26: Amb. Nicholas Burns + Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin
GBH's Callie Crossley & Yawu Miller of The Flip Side join for our weekly Press Play media analysis segment. They talk about Massachusetts professors on conservative watchlists, and coverage of the federal investigation into Tom Homan. Their conversation was cut short due to some technical difficulties at the Boston Public Library. Nicholas Burns, former U.S. Ambassador to China, discusses Pete Hegseth’s ominous all-staff meeting, Trump's speech at the UN, plus thoughts on recent headlines about U.S.-China relations. Leo Blanco and Elsa Mosquera preview the third-annual Fiesta en la Plaza, happening this Sunday at Boston City Hall, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Elsa is the festival’s producer and co-leader of the group Agora Cultural Architects. Leo is a Venezuelan-born piano player, professor, and leader of the Leo Blanco Trio. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin reflects on history and lessons for this moment. She talks about how U.S. leaders of yore -- like Lincoln and W. Bush -- responded calmly in times of crisis. She also talks about how past presidents navigated criticism and satire. -
