#AskTheMayor; Wisconsin GOP’s Lame-Duck Powerplay; Fighting for Fair Elections in Georgia; The Seven 'Tribes' of America, Part 2

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 7, 2018

 

Coming up on today's show:

  • Bill de Blasio, New York City Mayor , takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.
  • Charlie Sykes, contributing editor at the weekly standard MSNBC contributor, and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind (St. Martin's Press, October, 2017), Lame-duck Wisconsin Republicans are voting to weaken the incoming Democratic governor's power. CS talks about why the move, in addition to being grossly undemocratic, would be bad for the Republican party.
  • Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Georgia, talks about voter suppression efforts in Georgia, and her organization's lawsuit aimed at stopping them.
  • Míriam Juan-Torres, senior researcher at More in Common and co-author Hidden Tribes, and Daniel Yudkin, associate director of research at More in Common and a postdoctoral researcher in the Psychology Department at Yale and co-author of the study Hidden Tribes, talk about their research showing Americans are divided into 7 separate tribes with their own beliefs and norms, but most still think we can find common ground.
