The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 7, 2023
Coming up on today's show:
- Greg David, contributor covering fiscal and economic issues for THE CITY and director of the business and economics reporting program at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and the author of Modern New York: The Life and Economics of a City (St. Martin's Press, 2012), explains why the rent in NYC is still at record highs, despite a lower population and a weaker economic picture than other parts of the country.
- Charlie Sykes, founder and editor-at-large and host of a podcast at The Bulwark, MSNBC contributor and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind (St. Martin's Press, 2017), discusses the politics of former president Donald Trump's latest indictment.
- In July, a teen in Nebraska was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to a charge connected to her self-managed abortion. Andrea González-RamÃrez, a senior writer at New York Magazine's The Cut covering systems of power, explains the details of that case and the implications for future prosecutions of self-managed abortions.
- Listeners call in to talk about what their church, or other religious congregation, is doing to help migrants who have made their way to the city.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
