Coming up on today's show:

  • Andrew McCabe, former FBI agent and attorney, joins to discuss his new book, The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump (St. Martin's Press, 2019).
  • Governor of New York (D), Andrew Cuomo, joins us to discuss the latest in New York State political news.
  • On this special Election Day, Brigid Bergin, City Hall and politics reporter for WNYC, and Ben Max, executive editor of Gotham Gazette and co-host of the "Max & Murphy" podcast, help listeners decide who to vote for in this very crowded race for public advocate.   
  • Irshad Manji, founder of the Moral Courage Project at the University of Southern California and author of Don't Label Me: An Incredible Conversation for Divided Times (St. Martin's Press, 2019), uses her adoption of her dog Lily, counter to her cultural upbringing, to explore the broader issue of overcoming prejudice and intolerance.
