The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 22

Coming up on today's show:

Robert Kagan, contributing writer to The Atlantic, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and the author, most recently, of Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart—Again (Penguin Random House, 2024), offers his take on how President Trump is trying to rearrange the world order to look more like the 19th century and the dangers that lie ahead if continues to succeed.
Andrew Rigie, executive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance, talks about an executive order issued by Mayor Mamdani that aims to lower fees for small businesses in the city and more priorities for his group, which looks out for the interests of NYC's restaurants and bars.
Roger Leaf, chair of the West Park Administrative Commission, responds to public calls for preservation and offers his perspective on why he believes the Landmarks Preservation Commission should approve a claim of hardship for the West-Park Presbyterian Church, so its stewards can sell the dilapidated Upper West Side building that they cannot afford to maintain.
As we study up on Greenland, we invite listeners to share what's misunderstood about where they're from.
