Description
The government shutdown is over for now, but it is still unclear what the final outcome will be. President Trump walked away with nothing in terms of his border wall and now there is a 3 week time limit on whether it will happen again. Also developing over the weekend, Roger Stone gets indicted in the Mueller probe. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for a breakdown of all the big political news.
Next, a quick update on the story of 13 year old Jayme Closs, who was held captive for 88 days by Jake Patterson. A lot was made of who would be getting reward money that was offered for anyone that had information that led to her rescue. Well since she saved herself when she escaped, she will be getting $25,000 of that reward money. My producer Miranda joins us for more.
Finally, there is a whole community of content creators on YouTube that are blind. While YouTube doesn’t seem like a natural fit for someone who is visually impaired, these creators have become voices for and often overlooked group of people who use the internet just as much as many others. Emma Grey Ellis, writer at Wired, joins us to discuss the blind YouTubers making the internet more accessible.
