Climate Reparations and COP 27; Trump's Bid for 2024; Yonkers Looks to Extend Term Limits; Passing the Torch: Holiday Hosting

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 16, 2022

Coming up on today's show:

  • For the first time, leaders from some wealthy European countries are considering paying poorer countries for climate damage caused by the richer nations' emissions. Vijay Vaitheeswaran, global energy & climate innovation editor at The Economist, reports on the discussions happening at the UN's climate change conference, COP 27, and what's at stake.

  • On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced another bid for the White House. Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon, unpacks the announcement and the early reactions from within the Republican Party.
  • Yonkers, the third most populous city in New York, is considering a proposal to raise term limits for its City Council and mayor from 3 terms to 4. This comes just 4 years after the City Council extended term limits previously. David McKay Wilson, Tax Watch columnist at the Journal News/lohud.com, joins to discuss his reporting on term limits in New York's 'sixth borough.'
  • Listeners who are hosting a holiday celebration for the first time this year call in to talk about the passing of the torch between generations and how they are approaching this responsibility. Listeners also call in to remember family matriarchs or patriarchs who recently passed.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
