Smerconish: America Faces a Crisis of Nostalgia

from Smerconish on CNN · host CNN Podcasts

CNN Michael Smerconish describes the best decade in America from his childhood and explains why nostalgia plays a critical role in American politics. And, a breakthrough in genetic editing allows IVF parents to select traits for their embryo. But some experts are warning this new approach may lead to irreversible consequences. Also, a part of Trump's mega bill includes a national "baby bonds" program that will provide every newborn in the U.S. with $1,000 to get ahead in life. But many critics argue this program does not properly resolve generational child poverty for working families. Then, Independent Sports Journalist Joon Lee breaks down the price to access live sports today compared to a decade ago.   Learn more about your ad choices.
