On today's show:
- Despite Mayor Adams' focus on public safety, Errol Louis, political anchor of Spectrum NY1 News, host of Inside City Hall, New York Magazine columnist and host of the podcast You Decide, argues he's not off to a great start. He shares his analysis of how the mayor is handling subway crime, shootings, Rikers Island and more.
- Last week in his video to the Russian people, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about how his father was "broken" after fighting in Hitler's Nazi army. Listeners call in if their families bear the burden of past warfare or atrocities.
- The majority of the New York City Council members are new, and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. Over the next year Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. This week, Councilmember Kevin Riley talks about his priorities for District 12, which includes Wakefield, Olinville, Edenwald, Eastchester, Williamsbridge, Baychester, and Co-op City.
- Olatunde Johnson, faculty director for the Center for Constitutional Governance and the Jerome B. Sherman professor of law at Columbia Law School, discusses how the start of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing for a spot on the Supreme Court is going so far.
