Description

With all the twists and turns that we have with the Brett Kavanaugh confirmations we find out what's next… A Monday hearing with Christine Blasey Ford who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault and Democrats want Republicans to call other witnesses to testify under oath, while President Trump says that he is not a man that deserves this. Alayna Treene, political reporter with Axios, joins for more details including what Anita Hill has to say about all this.

Next, the President has ordered the declassification of documents related to the early days of the FBI’s Russia investigation. Specifically, the President wants to declassify the surveillance application that targeted former campaign adviser Carter Page and a bunch of texts from James Comey and others in the FBI that could show a bias against the president. Kyle Cheney, congressional reporter with Politico, joins us for what this means for the midterm elections.

Finally, a recent scientific mission into the secret ocean lair of California’s great white sharks has provided some clues into why these sharks migrate every winter and spring to an area that seemed to be a big empty void in the sea. Peter Fimrite, environmental writer for the SF Chronicle, fills us in on an area that has become known as the White Shark Cafe
