Watching Hillary, Watching Bloomberg
Mayor Bloomberg changes his party affiliation: What does is mean for the city and what does it say about his national ambitions? We analyze the move and take calls and comments on the three possible New York candidates in the presidential race. Then, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times investigative reporter Don Van Natta Jr. talks about his controversial book about Sen. Hillary R. Clinton. Plus, the safety concerns of raising a vegan child and a response to new police procedures for undercover officers.
Watch Brian's Online Video Picks.
