The Republican Convention Comes to a Close
On Today's Show:
- Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast "FAQNYC," politics editor at The Grio and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), breaks down last night's RNC events, and reflects on the past week of politics.
- Mary Trump, the President's niece, discusses the Trump family, and whether the picture presented at the convention is accurate.
- We present an episode of the Trump, Inc. podcast, from WNYC studios, about Trump's early days as a real estate developer, and the city's tax assessors, who often took bribes in exchange for lower valuations and a smaller tax burden.
- Ilya Marritz, who co-hosts the Trump, Inc. podcast, and who hosted the first half of this week's special coverage, joins to look back on the RNC, discuss why the context of Trump's business dealings was important to include in our coverage, and break down what it means for the decision voters will face on the ballot in November.
