President Trump Was at the UN General Assembly Today

America On The Line | Sep 25, 2018

On Today's America On The Line, host Jonathan Capehart talks to national correspondent for the Washington Post, Philip Bump about President Trump's speech at the 73rd sessions of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

“Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends,” President Trump said. Listeners weighed in on whether they agree that the world takes advantage of the United States.

To discuss the latest on the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination and more, Jonathan also speaks with host of WNYC Radio's The Brian Lehrer Show, Brian Lehrer, political scientist and author of Black Ethnics, Christina Greer and commentator and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind, Charlie Sykes.
