À propos de ce contenu audio

 “Up Close” is a politics podcast from the No. 1 TV station in the United States, WABC-TV. Hosted by Eyewitness News veteran anchor Bill Ritter, Up Close gets to the heart of the matter, whether it’s about how things are working in government - or how they’re not working. It shows you how public-policy decisions are made. This Eyewitness News podcast goes beyond the headlines and underneath the surface of politics. Sound bites don’t do that – conversation does. Our guests – varied and diverse - are from both sides of the aisle. In addition to full episodes of Up Close, I'm going to be sharing extra content -- interviews, perspective, news digests and more.Copyright 2025, The Walt Disney Company. All rights reserved.

      The new year started with no shortage of political controversies. President Trump ordered a U.S. military operation in Venezuela to capture Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

While all this is going on, Obamacare health care premiums have ended for more than 20 million Americans. The Republican-led House and Senate so far resisting Democratic push to extend health care subsidies to lower skyrocketing premiums. Joining Up Close to discuss is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. And New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in his second week in office continues to push for his ambitious agenda -- from free child care to free buses, to name a few. But can the city afford Mamdani's agenda? New York City's new Comptroller, Mark Levine, gives his take. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
