In this week's installment of the Barbershop, Host Michel Martin talks with freelance writer Jimi Izrael, civil rights attorney Arsalan Iftikhar, writer Keith Boykin and NPR Political Editor Ken Rudin. They discuss the military's recent steps to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on openly gay service members, the heated race for Illinois governor and details suggesting he may have abused his ex-wife. The men also offer predictions for who will win the upcoming NFL Super Bowl.
