Description

Thursday will continue to be the biggest day in Washington this week. Christine Blasey Ford will testify about sexual assault allegations she made about Brett Kavanaugh. We now find out that they is another accuser, and possibly more. Kavanaugh continues to deny all. Thursday will also host a meeting between Rod Rosenstein and President Trump about his future at the justice department after news came that Rosenstein was ready to resign. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us to break it all down.

Next, DNA comes through again! Sacramento police arrested the man known as the NorCal Rapist, and the investigation was almost identical to that of the Golden State Killer. DNA was entered into genealogy website GEDmatch.com and investigators followed the family tree until they zeroed in on their suspect. Sam Stanton, reporter for the Sacramento Bee, joins us for how investigators did it again.

Finally, in a story of survival with a happy ending, an Indonesian teenager was rescued after surviving 49 days out at sea with little to no supplies. Aldi Novel Adilang was working on a floating fish trap when his tether snapped and wind pushed him out to sea. He survived by catching fish and drinking sea water he squeezed from his clothes. My producer Miranda joins me to discuss how Aldi was finally rescued.
