Episode 3: Should America Be the World's Cop?

Premiered Friday, September 22

With the UN General Assembly in session this week, many nations vocally criticize the “America First” doctrine; the UN platform statement explicitly asks if the world is now ‘190 countries v. Trump’, and if the US is no longer 'indispensable’ on the global stage. As tensions mount between our nation and North Korea, Syria, China—as well as with some of closest allies—where does the US’s responsibility to the rest of the world begin... and end? Join the debate hosted by Carlos Watson and featuring guests Hill Harper, Yael Eisenstat, Emma Ashford, and Cliff Maloney
