Part One: Technology journalist Brian Bergstein on his piece in the MIT Technology Review, “We Need More Alternatives to Facebook.” Should any company be this powerful? And what about Zuckerberg’s political ambitions?

Part Two: Dr. Politics, aka polisci Professor Steffen Schmit from Iowa State U joins us for his weekly check in. Topics include: Trump, N. Korea, Tillerson, diplomacy, instability, the State Dept., the drug infested den of NH, and the Democratic Party’s stance on abortion. As this isn’t the WWF, no one was smacked with a folding chair, but there was some disagreement on that last topic.
