I think so highly of Brian that hate it when he takes well-deserved vacations. His guest hosts really try and some are very good, but he’s a hard act to follow or match! He has spoiled his listeners with his intelligence, humor and good radio voice.
I love listening to Brian Lehrer’s show to keep up with NYC news as well as New York and New Jersey. Straight and to the point. Factual. No nonsense. Always covering important topics.
These companies have agreed with the administration to delay the tariff cost to customers until after the midterms. The felon knows he won't survive if the House or Senate is flipped. When have you ever known a business to absorb the increased cost of production? That would be never. Don't be fooled, people.
accusing a muslim lawmaker of antisemitism or otherwise having plans to target NYC jewish communities is offensive and defamatory. shame on lehrer and senator gillibrand
Brian is always a funny guy and knowledgeable about our city. He seems wimpy, but asks tough questions at exactly the right moment. Always on our side! He is one of a kind.
