Former Ambassador Nicholas Burns On Foreign Affairs Under Trump
It's been six months since President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong met to negotiate denuclearization. But satellite images published this week by an independent Washington think tank showed at least thirteen missile operating bases that North Korea had failed to disclose. These developments comes as other major international stories gain steam, including the Brexit process in the U.K. and the still-unfolding story of journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi Arabian operatives – potentially with the involvement of the crown prince.

Standing in for Jim Braude, Jared Bowen was joined by former undersecretary of state and U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Nicholas Burns, who now teaches at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

Family Members of Diabetic Patients Who Died From Insulin Rationing Confront Drug Company
Medical groups and others have raised concerns that many of America’s 30 million diabetics may be in danger due to the rising price of insulin. According to the American Diabetes Association, the average price of lifesaving insulin nearly tripled from 2002 to 2013, costing many patients hundreds of dollars a month. That means patients with lesser means have to make due with whatever insulin they have, leading them to ration the medicine – which can lead to death.

Standing in for Jim Braude, Jared Bowen was joined by Brittany Smith, a registered nurse from Minnesota whose brother, Alec, died while rationing his insulin; Antroinette Worsham, a mother of four from Ohio, whose daughter died doing the same, and Doctor Vikas Saini, a clinical cardiologist and president of the Lown institute, a think tank dedicated to promoting health care equity.
