It's the Brian Laris show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

Coming up on today's show, we have Manhattan, DA Alvin Bragg today on a number of things,

getting Facebook and WhatsApp to crack down on scammers

posing as lawyers trying to fool immigrants in the current mass deportation environment into giving

them money. It's part of our cybersecurity series. We'll also talk with DA Bragg about the crime

rates in the city right now. What's different for prosecutors with Mayor

Mamdani in office now compared to Mayor Adams, and also a wrongful murder conviction that

Bragg got overturned 25 years later. The poor guy served so much time, Alvin Bragg coming up.

Also, two new notable actions against diversity efforts

by the Trump administration. Did you hear they're investigating the Women's College,

Smith College, for what Trump may see as sex discrimination for admitting any trans women?

And they're suing the New York Times for allegedly discriminating against a white man

by trying to increase representation in leadership of underrepresented groups. And we'll have a call

in at the end of the show on when you choose to listen to a book as opposed to read it. That's all

coming up, but let's start with this. You were just listening to one angle about airlines on the BBC.

How about this one? Price shocks and shortages are now hitting the airline industry as a result of the

Iran war. You know that much. And you've probably heard that Spirit Airlines, the budget carrier,

shut down the other day, and it's being blamed on effects from the war.

Maybe you yourself have had a spirit reservation now disappear.

Less competition means prices for other flights are going up.

Supply and demand, economics 101.
