Coming up on today's show:
- Eleanor Clift, columnist for The Daily Beast, rounds up the political news, including the fallout from the Mueller hearings and the next round of 2020 debates.
- William Spisak, director of programs at Chhaya CDC, a housing advocacy group in Jackson Heights, and Yangchen Chadotsang, Chhaya housing preservation program manager, talk about their new report on the way small homes in Queens are increasingly being purchased by investment companies instead of families who are often new immigrants, and what that means for the neighborhoods.
- Terry McAuliffe, former 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 us through what happened in Charlottesville and how to prevent those events from happening again.
- Eric Adams, Brooklyn Borough President, takes calls from the community and talks about who is responsible for the killing of one man and injuries to 11 people over the Old Timers Day in Brownsville, Brooklyn this weekend.
