On Today's Show:

• Sarah Longwell, political strategist, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump and publisher of the "The Bulwark," talks about 2024 politics, including voter opinion heading into early GOP primaries, polarization across and within parties, and the effect of 3rd party candidates on the presidential contest.
• Thousands of new students have joined the New York City school system since asylum seekers started arriving. Shahana Hanif, New York City Councilmember (District 39, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Columbia Waterfront, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, Kensington) and chair of the Committee on Immigration, breaks down how the city is meeting their needs and what more needs to be done.
• Henry Kissinger has died at 100 years old. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), examines the diplomat's massive impact on U.S. foreign policy, and addresses his huge failures and many critics, who see him as an immoral war criminal.
• Shop Listener is back for the 2023 holiday season. Listeners call in to shout out their brick-and-mortar businesses located on Long Island, Connecticut and Westchester (& suburbs further north) ahead of the holidays, for a Brian Lehrer Show listener-sourced gift guide.
