Digesting a Momentous Month

CNN
About this episode

Saturday marks one month since the CNN presidential debate – a month that has upended everything, and may have changed the course of history. The world has been following every extraordinary twist, and the consequences are enormous – particularly with the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and an emboldened China and Russia. Veteran diplomat Richard Haass joins Bianna to digest this momentous month. 

Also on today's show: Ross Kaufman, Director, “Wild Wild Space” & Ashlee Vance, author, “When the Heavens Went on Sale”; Evan Osnos, Staff Writer, The New Yorker
