For almost an hour Friday morning, President Trump gave impromptu interviews to reporters on the White House lawn. We discuss what Trump said with NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley. Also, Red Letter Christians eschew politics altogether, saying they choose instead to follow Jesus’ teachings: feeding the poor, sheltering immigrants and tending to the sick. The group’s executive director joins us to discuss its conflicts with conservative evangelicals. And undergraduate applicants to the University of Chicago no longer have to include SAT or ACT scores in their applications. It’s the first top-tier university to make the tests optional, though a growing number of other schools are making similar moves. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now’s June 15, 2018 full broadcast.
