It's the Brian Larris show on WNYC. I'm Tiffany Hanson, host here in the WNYC

Newsroom, filling in for Brian. Coming up on today's show, WNYC's lead Eric Adams reporter,

Elizabeth Kim, will be here as she always is on Wednesdays to report on the mayor's

weekly press conference.

The only one where he takes questions from reporters on any topic.

Plus, listeners, we'll be talking about the major elections happening around the world.

We'll want to hear from anybody with ties to India, Mexico, South Africa,

other countries holding elections. That's coming up in just about an hour. And we'll wrap up

today's show with a conversation about the growing pains that are coming with the soaring of

popularity of the WNBA. Stay with us for that. First, yesterday was a busy day for President Biden. He issued an executive

order on immigration meant to limit the number of weekly border crossings. Also, his son Hunter

appeared in court in Delaware for opening statements in a trial stemming from gun-related charges.

Looming for the president is also the fate of a proposed permanent ceasefire agreement

between Israel and Hamas that would secure the release of the remaining Israeli hostages being

held by Hamas.

And congressional leaders have invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address

a joint session of Congress.

That's facing a ton of blowback from Democrats

and is complicated politically for the president to say the least. Politically speaking,

the war and immigration are big issues for potential Biden supporters come November with

the ramifications of his son's legal issues could reach far beyond the courtroom into the ballot box as well with us to talk about how these issues and how President Biden is handling them and how they could affect his political future is Jonathan Lemire, White House Bureau Chief for Politico.

Jonathan is also the host of way too early on MSNBC and the author of The Big Lie, Election, Chaos, Political Opportunism, and the State of American Politics after 2020.
