#12 | Trump at the UN, Paul Manafort To Be Indicted?, and A Modern Version of the Trolley Problem!

Summary: Follow each of us on Twitter: @mikeskinnner & @PatrickFO In the “Lede” this week, we discuss the recent stories regarding President Trump’s then-campaign manager Paul Manafort possibly being indicted. Plus, President Trump delivers his first speech at the United Nations General Assembly and he vows to “totally destroy North Korea,” if Kim Jung Un keeps up his pariah behavior. In “Beyond the Lede,” we discuss a The Atlantic article on education in the Middle East called “Boys Aren’t Defective.” Mike’s gives his take on a modern version of the Trolley Problem. Patrick’s gives an update on campus sexual assault policy, which we covered last week.
