Cities of the Future

Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, Brigham Young University President Trump's first address to the UN General Assembly was unusual in many regards: he called out North Korea by name, he disparaged existing the US' arms deal with Iran, he took jabs and China and Russia. But maybe he was just saying what many people in the room were thinking but would never say out loud? We dissect the President's address and also talk about his explanation of the US attitude toward refugees. And we explore how the Pentagon will likely move forward on the American ISIS prisoner in custody.

Guest: Solomon Skolnick, Author, "The Great American Citizenship Quiz" In the past decade more than 6 million people have become naturalized citizens on the United Statesof America. To do so, they have to pass a citizenship quiz. Could you pass it? Do you know how many amendments there are to the US Constitution? Can you name one of the two longest rivers in the United States?  Can you name one of the writers of the “Federalist Papers”? Solomon Skolnick has recently published a new edition of “The Great American Citizenship Quiz,” which outlines all the questions and answers to the citizenship quiz. We reached out to him to ask him whether studying for this quiz really prepares people for US citizenship and whether most natural-born citizens have mastered this information.
