Lots to talk about this week.Join us for a roundup of current events and politics.

The Zimmerman trial has ended. But the story has not. We will be exploring both the outcome and the future. Also on the agenda are the latest develpments in the ongoing Casey Anthony saga.

I could not resist this book. I was hooked by the title. Your Show Will Go Live In 5 Seconds. This simple title might be lost on some people, But it certainly got my attention, It is a clear reference to Blog Talk Radio and the NASA style countdown before a show goes on air!, This should be an interesting discussion, and one that anyone using Blog Talk Radio, or considering it should listen to. Please join us for what I suspect will be a lively discussion.

The George Zimmerman trial has been all over the press. After 8.5 days of testomony by the prosecution, one thing is clear, the trial is a train wreck. Yes I watched a great deal of it on TV, but had to scoot when Jan's important programs came on, Jerry Springer, Y&R etc. Nothing beats having a pair of eyes in the Courtroom, and this week we will have Dave Knechel on the program.   What is happening in Egypt? Well frankly I don't know, But I am sure that our foriegn expert John Perry can fill in the blanks. To balence the situatiom will be well known lawyer Peter Haven, and my favorite Bar Keep, Sam Moffie

This week on the program I will be talking to author Silvio Aladjen. I always enjoy talking to authors with a story, Silvio has 10,000 of them! That is the number of babies he has brought into the world. You can read the review here.

This week on the program, the George Zimmerman trial, Paula deen. the NSA, Syria, and much more.

I will be sitting down with author Richard Wanderer about his new book Holiday Party. A thought provoking novel that explores the world of corporate takeovers.

This weel - Edward Snowden, whistle blower or traitor? He has left Hong Kong and apprently now in Russia. The George Zimmerman Trial lumbers on, opening statements start tomorrow. An all female (mostly white), who does iy help?

This week we will be taking a look at two cases, one hotter than molten lava, George Zimmerman and the untimely demise of Trayvon Martin. Joining us will be reporter Dave Knechel who managed to score one of the coveted court room press passes. While the trial is still in the Jury selection phase, there is still lots to discuss. Our second case involves the 30 year old double homicide of Ronald Scharff and Patricia Freeman in McHenry County. Son Paul Schraf is still trying to get justice. I have been personally involved with the case for several years. Paul will be bringing us up to date on the latest (un)developments!

Ray Vaughn has written songs and performed in dives and on street corners for a very, very long time. He was a founding member of San Francisco based Punk/Art Rock band Hostages, then Die Bossa Nova, until disappearing in 1992. Ray Vaughn resurfaced in 2010 as a solo acoustic act. After traveling back and forth between New York City and San Francisco, road testing new material, and playing and writing new songs, Vaughn eventually headed back into the studio with Grammy award winning producer Michael Rosen

This week we will be covering a number of stories, but front and center has to be the latestes Obamagate, the NSA. The revelation about Verizon sharing data, and the internet PRISM operation have created a great deal of grumbling in the press. With these latest leaks coming on the heels of the Obama administration admitting that they snagged AP reporters phone records, is privacy a thing of the past?

Our weekly look at current affairs, news, politics and legal issues.

Did  the IRS cross the line with targeting the IRS. What happened with the Jodie Arias. Will Arizona's Joe Arpaio stop racial profiling? This and much more.
