Description

Prosecutors on Monday released documents detailing New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s actions at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida.  He has been charged with two, first degree misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution.  Investigators say Kraft was there twice in a 24 hour period, and they have video. My producer Miranda joins us for the details and how the NFL is reacting.

Next, DNA testing kits started off as a novelty for amateur genealogists and has gone mainstream.  Some predictions say that within the next two years, more than 100 million people may be part of a commercial genetic database.  What many don’t realize is that these companies are sharing your data with law enforcement, drug makers, and even app developers. Kim Hart, managing editor at Axios, joins us for why you should always read the fine print before you test your DNA.

Finally, as the opioid epidemic continues to plague large swaths of the country, the small town of Little Falls, Minnesota has made progress in getting the problem under control.  They didn’t do anything revolutionary, just made a real effort, spent real money, and treated the addiction as a disease instead of a crime. Dan Vergano, Buzzfeed News Reporter, joins us for the blueprint they used to curb it drug epidemic.
