About this episode
1)South Korea's President Just Declares Martial Law?: Conservative President Yoon announced in a TV address last night that he is invoking full Martial Law in South Korea. That is a shock, since there seemed to be little basis for calling that extremely repressive measure. Why did he do it? What is going on?
2)Kashyap Patel Nominated as FBI Director?: Mr. "Kash" Patel, who earlier worked in Miami FL as a state 'public defender' for poor and indigent criminals, has suddenly risen to the top. He was just named as Trump's choice for new FBI Director, replacing Christopher Wray. Who is Mr. Patel, what are his qualifications, and what is Trump's reason for appointing him?
3)South African born Elon Musk as Head of US Government Reorganization?: Elon Musk, who was born in S. Africa and only became a US citizen in 2002, is being tasked with reorganization of the entire US Government under the new Trump Administration. Is that a good idea?
