The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 12, 2019

Coming up on today's show: 

  • Last week, police arrested a churro vendor at the busy Broadway Junction subway station in Brooklyn, and a bystander's video of the encounter went viral and sparked protests. New York State Senator Jessica Ramos (Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Woodside, Corona, parts of Sunnyside and Astoria), talks about the incident and the legislation she introduced in Albany to lift the restrictions on food vendors in the subway. 

  • Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, CNN political analyst, co-host of the podcast "Politics and Polls,” and author of Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party (Penguin Press, 2020), discusses the latest developments in the impeachment inquiry.
  • Malcolm Nance, national security and counterterrorism analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, talks about his new book The Plot to Betray America: How Team Trump Embraced Our Enemies, Compromised Our Security, and How We Can Fix It (Hachette Books, 2019).

  • Jami Floyd, WNYC's legal editor and host of All Things Considered, and Beth Fertig, WNYC senior reporter covering courts and legal affairs, team up to discuss yesterday's Supreme Court arguments challenging the Trump administration’s decision to end DACA. One of cases originated in New York.
