Description

A year after violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, which ended with the death of a counter protester, white nationalists are at it again. They gathered for a white civil rights rally called Unite the Right 2. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters was at the rally and filled us in on the scene there and also the news that you can trust no one in the White House. Omarosa is back with a new book and secret recording of her firing.

Next, there is a fierce battle over your bed. The mattress industry is being turned upside down, and it might be the perfect time for you to buy a new bed. The world’s largest mattress retailer is under threat of bankruptcy and online bed-in-a-box retailers are planning to open brick and mortar locations. Nathan Bomey, reporter for USA Today joins us for more on the unstable mattress industry where there are more locations to buy a mattress in the US than there are McDonald's.

Finally, David McCabe, reporter for Axios, joins us for the wild west of children’s entertainment. Gone are the days of Saturday morning cartoons, kids can access an endless amount of children’s programming with on demand platforms and streaming services. Children’s content is still largely unregulated on these streaming platforms and it is bringing new challenges for producers, policymakers, and parents.
