Here’s the radio line up for Wednesday, Sept. 25.

9 a.m. — MPR News with Kerri Miller

Last week, President Trump named Robert C. O'Brien as his new national security adviser. He replaces John Bolton, who was fired by the president two weeks ago.

Prior to his appointment, O’Brien was an envoy for hostage affairs. Now the fourth national security adviser during the Trump administration, he will play a key role in carrying out the president’s foreign-policy agenda.

With drama escalating between Iran and Saudi Arabia, China’s growing global power, and denuclearization negotiations with North Korea, what can we expect from O’Brien and the Trump administration?

10 a.m. — 1A with Joshua Johnson

11 a.m. — MPR News with Angela Davis
