Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

In President Trump's first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, he bragged about the United States job market and military and stressed the importance of the sovereignty and strength of independent nations. The president also bashed North Korea, its leader and its allies and associates. Michael Steele was shocked, saying, "I've never heard a president threaten 25 million people from that podium, from the floor of the United Nations." Hardin Lang, former U.N. special envoy to Haiti, discusses how this speech represents a radical departure for the U.S. at the U.N. and its leadership on the global stage. Katie Thomas, staff writer for the New York Times, talks about her collaborative reporting with ProPublica on the ways that insurance companies are contributing to the opioid epidemic.
