Hello and welcome to Background Briefing, available 24-7 at Backgroundbriefing.org. I'm Ian Masters, and today we'll examine a number of stories and issues in the news. We'll begin

with the embarrassing performance by the leader of the free world and president of the United

States before the world's leaders at the UN General Assembly today in which Trump whined

about when he had bid as a developer. He didn't get the contract to renovate the UN. While boasting to the

world's leaders about his fantastic achievements and bringing about a golden age in America, he

trashed most of the rest of the world that the diplomats gathered represent, saying, your countries

are going to hell. Joining us is Dulcie Limback, the founder of Pass Blue,

which she edits and writes covering primarily the United Nations

peacekeeping operations and women's issues.

Previously, she was an editor for the Coalition for the UN Convention

Against Corruption, was the publication's director of the United Nations Association

of the USA

and was an editor at the New York Times for more than 20 years.

Then we'll follow up on Trump's promise at Charlie Kirk's Memorial that, quote,

tomorrow we're going to have one of the biggest announcements, really, medically, I think, in the history of our country,

we're going to be doing it with Bobby and Oz and all the professionals.

I think you're going to find it to be amazing.

I think we found an answer to autism.

Joining us to expose the absurdity and deadly consequences of Trump's lie is Arthur Kaplan,

Professor Bioethics and Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU's Langone Medical Center's Department of Population Health

and head of the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

He's the author or editor of 32 books on topics of bioethics and health care and is a commentator for WebMD slash Medscape and has an article at Stat News we'll discuss.
