Guests:
Tunku Varadarajan, editorial features editor for the Wall Street Journal
James Oddo, Republican city councilman from New York and minority leader
David Harris, professor at University of Toledo college of law and author of several books on racial profiling, including Good Cops: The Case for Preventive Policing and Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work
