Funny man Jonathan May joins Mark Bland and Jason on this episode of the Q.  Firs things first, Mark discusses how the bracket is looking for his March Madness picks. Next the guys get into Jonathan May and his past.  Jonathan talks about his time a Military police officer and dealing with suicides and other assorted issues that happened.

Next up, Mark and Jason get into discussing the newest Trump news including Kellyanne's newest statement on the state of microwave's in the US.  Also how being dismissive to Angela Merkel and not shaking her hand could have deeper implications as the US wades through the treacherous path of daily existence in the USA.  

Finally, throughout the show, Mark stops and asks Jonathan assorted questions about  growing up Black and the affects of White culture and black culture on him a as person.  Including asking him his opinion on the newest Mike Brown video that came out in the last couple weeks.

It's been a few years since the Mike Brown/Ferguson incident and the family claimed that Mike would never rob a store.  But the only evidence that was ever presented was a security tape from the store the morning of the shooting.  It showed Mike manhandling a store owner/employee after he was told he couldn't have some cigarillos.  So everyone assumed, here is this thug that is trying to knock over a liquor store and that eventually lead to his death.

BUT NOT SO FAST EVERYONE....seems that the St. Louis County PD and Attorney knew of more video from that same store the the night before (technically in the early morning of the day of his death) where Mike Brown came in, made some sort of deal with the employees and then handed the exact same bag of cigarillos over to the employees for safe keeping....until the next morning when he shows back up for them.

Mark and Alex Elias discuss this need video in detail and discuss the ramifications if there are any new points of view to take from this.  They discuss the why and how of the case regarding this new info and if the rioting would have still happened or not.

Trump can't stop himself. He is a detriment to our country and himself at times.  On this episode we break down the NEXT (the guys refuse to say newest because it seems 2-3 things happen NEW each day) big situation with him...Supposedly Obama (former not involved in World politics right now at ALL) wire tapped Trump Towers to spy on Trump during the 2016 election and campaign.  Everyone in the world knows its a desprate plea to get any news fodder off himself cause he is just not a good person. The guys decide to break it all down and discuss the potential end game for Obama if any existed at all or not.

Also, Mark and Jason Kull decide to take some questions from the listeners.  They discuss Top Documentaries you need to see and also impart some great advice that anyone can use. This and much more on the new Q!
