    Dropping bombs

    We'll start the show off talking about Herman Cain "suspending" his presidential candidate on the heels of accusations he had a 13-year long extramarital affair with a woman he was secretly giving money to without his wife's knowledge. Regardless of the accusations being true or not, what does Cain's departure from the GOP field mean for the other candidates? With just a few weeks until the first round of caucus and primaries, we'll analyze, discuss and predict what the future holds.

    War

    The war in Iraq, or at least America's role, seems to be coming to a close. Does that mean Iraq is secure? Far from it. Iraq would have been more secure had America not been there for the past 7 years. Also on the war front, Pakistan is increasingly upset with NATO and the US, and who can blame them? And the war drums seems to be beating stronger to do something about Iran, especially with the recent embassy fiascoes in Iran. And, did you hear about the reported explosion at one of Iran's nuclear plants?

    Defense appropriations

    In one of the most controversial issues of the week, the political elite in Washington seem to be in favor of stripping you of your due process rights. An amendment on a defense appropriations bill that would allow for anyone (American or not) to be detained indefinitely (without charges or trial) if they are a "suspect". Sound off on this abomination and what it could mean for you if you chose to speak out.

    Protsts

    Occupy, TEA Party, Anit-nuke sit-ins ... people are angry and it doesn't seem to be calming down anytime soon. We'll go through the latest in unrest from around the world and see if there's any sense to be made from it.

    The Economy

    Then at 6pm we'll talk with Registered Investment Advisor, Registered Financial Consultant, Michael Schussele about the economy, the latest jobs numbers, the international debt crisis and what the Fed's role will be. Learn more about Mr. Schussele here.
