Rahm Emmanuel steps down as Chief of Staff; wants to run for Mayor of Chicago. Is this a shakeup or just normal job burnout? Is the White House in flux? With the House voting to impose import tariffs on China, will the Senate bring the issue to a vote? Then a really in-depth look at China's history and economy and a deep think look at the structural issues presently undermining our own democracy. Finally a glance at the mid-terms, the Tea Party and the Whitman-Brown face-off in California.
