This week we talk about the President’s silence on Green Berets ambushed in Niger, a profanity-laden voicemail left for a college professor by a Fox News viewer (and probation officer), plus a wide-ranging political discussion with two of my closest friends from college. Then in our #Law140 segment, we discuss the law on citizen warrants and the arrest of DeAndre Harris.
