Noh, a geopolitical analyst, a member of Veterans for Peace, and senior correspondent with Flashpoints on KPFA, to discuss the inconsistencies in charges brought against Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou by the US Department of Justice in her extradition trial in Canada, the clear political interests of the US in prosecuting Meng, and why the US wants to take down Huawei.
In the third segment, It’s FRIDAY so it’s time for another edition of our new weekly segment “The Red Spin Report,” where we discuss sports, politics and struggle with Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports to discuss the severe exploitation of the athletic labor of Minor League Baseball players by Major League Baseball, the sickening new lottery system that can further exploit the destitution of Minor League players, and Brett Favre’s recent comments on preventing the development of CTE in children.
