About this episode

The gang digs into the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter. Does broadcasting an execution serve the public, or turn justice into a spectacle? Then they turn to California’s effort to shut down a human-versus-robot fight club. Should consenting adults be allowed to take on a robot, and does a regulator whose rules cover fights between people get a say?
