The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 2, 2023
On today's show:
- U.S. Representative Jim Himes (D, CT-4) talks about the new leader of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson, who was part of Republicans' efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and what comes next...plus other news related to Israel-Hamas and Ukraine.
- On Election Day next week in New Jersey, every seat in the state legislature is up for grabs - as well as many school board positions. Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, and host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show, discusses how culture war issues may help conservative candidates in what will most likely be a low turnout election.
- Larry Buchanan, graphics editor and reporter at The New York Times, talks about the "extremely detailed map" he recently made of New York City neighborhoods, and what the map, neighborhood names and fuzzy (and sharp!) borders say about, as he writes, "gentrification, displacement, inequality, status."
- The New York City marathon is this Sunday. Rob Simmelkjaer, New York Road Runners CEO, previews the race, which remains extremely popular with runners and spectators, plus talks about how he thinks we are in a "running renaissance," the fun of watching the runners and more.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
