Hello all,

This is show 22 an open discussion show. And SKetkar’s back, yes he’s back and so is the nice studio environment, yay!

Show notes:

Ragman’s topic is North Korea. What to do with North Korea, as in what’s should the US response be to the recent missile testing and underground nuclear testing. What role should China play? Are North Korea and Iran the same when it comes to their approach regarding becoming a nuclear power? Should the US even be involved?
SKetkar’s Topic is Obama/Cheney and Guantanamo bay. Few weeks ago President Obama gave a speech regarding torture, terrorism and status of Guantanamo. Few minutes later former VP Cheney had a counter speech. Planned? Why is Cheney speaking up now? How is he speaking to? What’s his purpose? We torture… used enhanced interrogation techniques, what is right? What do we do with the prisoners in Guantanamo is it’s closed? Should they have any rights under US law?
Lambo’s short topic is the increase visibility of police aggression. The video of the ambulance getting pulled over and the EMT getting choked while a patient was in the ambulance waiting to be taken to the hospital. There have been many more cases lately and more videos on youtube. Are these the exceptions or has the advent of viral videos brought forth a dirty side of our local law enforcement?

Promos:

- 2nd Shift and a public annoucement

Enjoy!
