How Steve Bannon Propelled Trump; Regulating E-Bikes; South Asian Hollywood Portrayals
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 26, 2017
Coming up on today's show:Â
- Joshua Green, senior national correspondent for Bloomberg Businessweek and author of Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency, talks about the latest national political news and his new book, which explores how Steve Bannon helped propel Donald Trump to the presidency.
- E-bikes are (mostly) illegal in NYC, but widely used by restaurant deliverers who often go too fast or the wrong way down the road. But who's responsible for their regulation? City Council? NYPD? Restaurant owners? People who order in? WNYC transit reporter, Stephen Nessen discusses his reporting into this and is joined by Upper West Side resident and investment manager, Matthew Shefler, who's taken it upon himself to document this very problem in his own neighborhood.Â
- Culture reporter for The New York Times, Sopan Deb, and writer/filmmaker Aditi Natasha Kini, discuss their two distinctive takes on recent Hollywood depictions of interracial relationships between South Asian men and white women.Â
