It's the Brian Lera show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

We have Manhattan, DA, Alvin Bragg on today's show.

Bragg is even more in the news than usual right now between the Mangione case, the penny case,

And beyond that, the new police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, removed the head of the Internal Affairs Division on Saturday.
