Dueling Press Conferences; Charlie Hebdo's Posthumous Manifesto

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 7, 2016

Coming up on today's show:

  • Both Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo held press conferences yesterday at 2pm. Hear about their dueling press and respective proposals.
  • The Paris offices of the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo were attacked a year ago. Gunmen killed 12 people, including the editor in chief known as Charb. But he left behind a manifesto and now, a year later, it’s been published. The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik will tell us more.
  • Hear the story of Japanese American Harry Fukuhara, an interpreter in the U.S Army and his family in Hiroshima.
