NXIVM leader Keith Raniere has been found guilty on all charges related to the sex cult he started under the guise of a self-help group.  Among the charges he was found guilty of were forced labor conspiracy, sex trafficking, and child porn charges.  Pilar Melendez, reporter for the Daily Beast, was in the courtroom for the verdict and joins us for how it all went down and highlights from the trial.

Next, a shooting at a California Costco involving an off-duty police officer and an intellectually disabled man is sparking a debate about proper use of force. Two different stories are emerging about what went down in the food tasting line at Costco, but the off-duty cop discharged his weapon and it resulted in the death of Kenneth French.  His parents were also shot and are still in the hospital.  Hannah Fry, reporter for the LA Times, joins us for this complicated story.

Finally, while the fast food industry as a whole has been flat, Chick-fil-A has experienced double digit growth.  It has moved up the ranks from the seventh largest restaurant chain in the US to become the third.  While the company is not without its challenges, people love it for the waffle fries and their legendary customer service.  Laura Reiley, the business of food reporter for the Washington Post, joins us for why Chick-fil-A is so popular.
