Brian there on WNYC.

And what a treat for a weekday.

David Remnick is with us, editor of the New Yorker and host of the New Yorker Radio Hour,

heard weekends here on the station, one of our most listened to shows, and it's with such pride that we produce the New Yorker Radio Hour for national consumption

on public radio stations everywhere in conjunction with the New Yorker.

David has an article on what the death of Yaya Sinwar could mean to any possible peace process in the Middle East.

The New Yorkers' editors, led by David, have also made an endorsement in the presidential race.

Spoiler alert, it's Kamala Harris. Are you surprised?

And this coming weekend will be the annual New Yorker Festival with all kinds of events,

including David himself,

interviewing Rachel Maddo and Liz Cheney live on stage.

Hey, David, always great when you come on with us.

Welcome back to WNYC, I mean, to the show.

Well, I'm delighted to be here with you, and I thank you for having me always.

And I can only echo what you said before about the need to support WNYC.

It is tough going out there because the media environment has changed so radically.

And I think you and I are joined in this that what WNYC does, independent of what you and I do, is absolutely vital

to the life of the city. And without our listeners, we're nowhere. Thanks for that, David.

Want to start with your Kamala Harris endorsement. Nobody in Red or Blue America will probably

be surprised that the New Yorker is endorsing Kamala Harris and not Trump.

What's the purpose of an endorsement in the New Yorker?

I think that's a totally legit question.
