The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 18, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- A new New York Times/Siena Poll asked voters their thoughts on President Biden, former President Trump, the Supreme Court, the economy and more. Don Levy, director of the Siena College Research Institute (SCRI), breaks down the poll results and Maya King, politics reporter covering the South at The New York Times, reports on how younger voters are feeling on all of the above.
- Jose Alba, a bodega worker in Manhattan, was charged in the fatal stabbing of a man who attacked him with a knife. Bodega associations have been pushing to get these charges dropped, and they've been clear about the need for greater safety and security in their stores. Debbie Almontaser, co-founder and secretary of the board of directors for the Yemeni American Merchants Association, discusses the solutions proposed.
- Malcolm Nance, national security and counterterrorism analyst and the author of They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency (St. Martin’s Press, 2022), sounds the alarm about what he calls TITUS (Trump Insurgency in the United States) and discusses other issues related to national security.
- Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, a host of the StarTalk Radio podcast and author of the forthcoming Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization (Henry Holt & Co, 2022), explains why everyone is so excited about the images from the Webb telescope.
