Today on Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod:

Yesterday, in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly, Donald Trump boasted that his administration had achieved more than almost any other president in U.S. history, causing world leaders to break out in laughter. Clips from that moment were shown around the world.

But not so fast. Trump used his speech to underscore his America First foreign policy, including trade and support for Israel. He praised Kim Jong Un and Poland, while attacking Iran, China, Germany, the U.N. Human Rights Council, OPEC, Venezuela and immigrants. Today, he is expected to continue his attacks especially on Iran as he chairs the U.N. Security Council. To discuss all this, we welcome Dr. Gerald Horne.

And an update on Haiti. A new Prime Minister has been announced following the reshuffling of the government following a nation-wide uprising against the government by the Haitian grassroots this past July. Who is Jean Henry Ceant, now Haitis new PM? Our guest is journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina.

Also, A New Way of Life (ANWOL) will have its annual film festival this weekend. Susan Burton, author of Call me Ms. Burton and founder of ANWOL, joins us.

For our Campaigners for Black Lives series, Akili joins us to weigh in on a new ordinance proposed by the Los Angeles City Council that would criminalize protest.

Finally, Sojourner Truth Election Watch with Dorothy Reik.

Today on Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod:

On Saturday, September 22, assailants carried out an attack against the government of Iran. They attacked during an Islamic Revolutionary Guard military parade and killed 25 people, including children, and wounding 60 others. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blamed the United States and Saudi Arabia for being behind the attacks, at least providing weapons and other support to attackers. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is speaking at the United Nations today for the General Assembly, where he is expected to ramp up his rhetoric against Iran and to gloat about the severe sanctions he has imposed on the country. This, after he pulled out of the nuclear weapons agreement the U.S. had signed along with the European Union, Russia and China. Meanwhile, the European Union and Iran have reportedly signed a deal to get around penalties imposed by the United States for countries that still want to do business with Iran. Our guest is James Paul, the author of the new book, "Of Foxes and Chickens: Oligarchy and Power in the U.N. Security Council."

And, an update on Hurricane Florence focusing on the pollution unleashed as a result of the flooding still on the uptick in the Carolinas. From the flooding of massive hog farms to the flooding of coal ash pits, we speak with Forrest English, a riverkeeper for the Pamlico and Tar rivers in North Carolina who is using aircraft and drones to monitor pollution.

Also, an update on the sexual assault charges against Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Our guest is Farah Tanis, a women's human rights activist who serves as the co-founder and Executive Director of the Black Women's Blueprint.
