Today on Sojourner Truth:

President Biden and other world leaders descend on the United Nations for the annual general assembly meeting. Focused areas include COVID-19, the environmental crisis, and growing income inequality worldwide. What has emerged from presentations by heads of state so far? Our guest is Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History & African-American Studies at the University of Houston.

The Democrats' economic agenda is hanging by a thread in Congress, as there is push-back against the cost of President Biden's care economy proposals. The Republicans threaten to not lift the debt ceiling, therefore threatening the entire Biden proposal. What's going on? We get an update from economist Max Wolff, a Founding Partner at Multivariate, which provides capital markets access and data science solutions to growth companies and institutional investors.

Who is not getting the $600 California stimulus check? Our guest is Sherriel Weithers, a previous intern for the Sojourner Truth team, as well as a volunteer who works with at-risk teens and fights for the rights of others.

Sojourner Truth Radio: September 24, 2021 - Roundtable Discussion

Should Ireland continue to send troops abroad to participate in peacekeeping missions? Ireland has been sending soldiers into conflict zones since 1958 but has the time come to rethink this policy?

Do Irish soldiers gain anything from the experience or are such missions just an additional drain on a depleted military’s resources? John Mooney discuss the issue with Prof Ray Murphy of NUI Galway and Declan Power, an independent defence expert.

Peacekeeping: Time to Rethink?

On this week’s episode of Patriot’s Nation I start off with the news of the week, such as: 60% of businesses that closed during the lockdown are not coming back, Usurper Biden is pushing the globalist agenda at the UN, and much more.

The FAO of the UN leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people. FAO's activities comprise four main areas:

1. Putting information within reach.
2. Sharing policy expertise.
3. Providing a meeting place for nations.
4. Bringing knowledge to the field.
