Brian Lerer on WNYC.

Now Greg David,

Business and Economics contributor to the news organization,

The City,

and director of the Business and Economics Reporting Program

at the Craig Newmark Graduate School

of Journalism at CUNY. His latest article, how Donald Trump's mass deportation and tariffs would

impact New York's economy. He's also written recently on the potential impact on housing,

on transit, and other aspects of the New York economy and New York City life,

we will definitely get to Governor Hokel trying now, maybe in a panic, to resurrect the congestion

pricing plan that she paused before Donald Trump can act on his promise to kill it from

Washington. But Greg, always good to have you. Welcome back to WNYC.

Thank you. Let's see if we can make this segment as depressing as the last one, right? Well, you know,

first we were talking a bit in the last segment about AOC slash Trump voters in the Congresswoman's

District in the Bronx and Queens, and she's been posting responses from

some on her Instagram. The first one I saw at the top of the page that I saw, I didn't see every

page, was pretty representative of the others that I saw. It said, it's simple. Both you and he

are for the working class. And I'm curious if as an economy reporter, you're

surprised by that. No, I think there are some people who think that. You know, it's very clear

nationally that voters are held the Democrats responsible for inflation and what they see as a bad economy.

And all the efforts to convince them the economy wasn't bad failed because they know prices

are higher and that made all the difference.
