Meet the Candidates in NY10; Buildings, Pollution and the Adams Administration; Generational Politics: 30s and 40s
The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 16, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- Daniel Goldman, lead counsel for the impeachment investigation of Pres. Trump in 2019 and former assistant U.S. attorney SDNY, kicks off back-to-back "elevator" pitches by (almost) all of the Democrats running to represent New York's 10th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also joining us for this lightning-round:
- Quanda Francis, an accountant, data scientist and entrepreneur
- Yan Xiong, pastor, veteran and activist
- Brian Robinson, author and founder of a consumer advocacy company
- Mondaire Jones, U.S. Representative (D 17th)
- Yuh-Line Niou, NYS assembly member (65th)
- Peter Gleason, attorney
- Maud Maron, an attorney working as a public defender
- Jo Anne Simon, NYS assembly member (52nd)
- Elizabeth Holtzman, former U.S. Congresswoman, Brooklyn DA, NYC comptroller and assistant to Mayor Lindsay
- and Carlina Rivera, City Council Member (2nd)
- A law that would dramatically limit pollution emitted from New York City buildings was passed in 2019. Pete Sikora, climate and inequality campaigns director at New York Communities for Change (NYCC), argues it's unclear whether the Adams administration will do what's needed to actually enact and enforce the law.
- This week, The Brian Lehrer Show wants listeners across generations to call in with their top political concerns ahead of the midterm elections. Today, people in their 30s and 40s call in to share their top issues.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
