Weekly Dispatch 28July - 3Aug

This week we talk about North Korea, Afghanistan, Russia, and China - might even sprinkle some Iran news in there, so much news so little time. In our Americas segment, we’ll talk about the Democratic Debates and the terrible shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH. Our big talking point though, is a series of questions we think will really spur positive dialogue when discussing gun reform, policy, and relations between communities affected by gun violence. As we said in our first podcast, this podcast isn’t a place where we tell you how to feel or what to feel, we’ll give you the tools to be the educated public! We mentioned in the intro the news about the Federal Reserve and the overnight rates, however, we’re going to make that a second podcast because the conversation is longer than your morning drive to PT and more important than a :30 blurb! You guys have a great week and get after it, we’ll see you next week! 00:20 Intro 01:51 Global News: North Korea and Submarines 03:55 Afghanistan and the Taliban 09:48 China and Backlash 12:20 INF Fallout 14:05 US News: Democratic Debates and Updates 18:06 US Shootings: El Paso and Dayton 23:30 Avengers/Boys/CrossFit Games
