Description

The battle over funding for the boarder wall continues.  House Democrats have put forward a plan that would increase funding for border security, but not offer any money for a border all.  The president has said that there will be no deal without the wall, and Nancy Pelosi says there will be no wall. Stef Kight, reporter for Axios, joins us to see if any type of deal can be made.

Next, health companion robots are gaining ground for consumer households and a friendly robot face could be the last one you see in case of an emergency.  Stan Horaczek, tech editor at Popular Science, joins us to talk about Samsung’s new Bot Care which is being positioned as companion robot that could be paired with an older person that wants to live alone, but still might need some assistance.

Finally, there is a mysterious secret tunnel in Florida and no one knows who put it there. Authorities found a tunnel leading to a bank ATM which leads investigators to believe it was for a possible bank heist. Linda Trischitta, reporter for the Sun Sentinel, joins us to break down a bizarre story.
