resident Donald Trump arrives to speak at the White House, Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, in Washington.

Trump's Post-Presidency Fate; Veterans' Priorities; The NYPD's Listening Tour; Post-Trump Activism

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 11, 2020

Coming up on today's show: 

  • Jane Mayer, staff writer and chief Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, talks about the latest political headlines plus her recent story about President Trump's post-election loss fate. 
  • Paul Rieckhoff, founder and CEO of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), talks about a range of issues affecting veterans, from the election to COVID-19.
  • Jennifer Jones Austin, CEO and executive director of the Federal Protestant Welfare Agencies (FPWA), talks about her work with the NYPD's Reform and Reinvention Collaborative, how to participate and what they heard in the first listening sessions.
  • From Democratic Socialists to liberal moderates, the fight against Trump was a reason to put deep-seated ideological differences aside. Now that he’s out, listeners call in about whether they're experiencing anxiety about what comes next -- for activism, and for the direction of Democratic party.

 Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
