Description

President Trump had another history making moment over the weekend as he became the first sitting president to step into North Korea. Trump shook hands with Kim Jong Un and the two agreed to revive stalled talks about denuclearization.  Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for this, what happened at the G-20 and Sen. Kamala Harris surging in the polls.

Next, after a yearlong investigation that became the largest sex crimes inquiry involving a single person in LAPD history, George Tyndall, the gynecologist accused of sexual misconduct toward hundreds of USC students was arrested and charged last week with more than two dozen felonies.  Brianna Sacks, former USC student and Buzzfeed News reporter joins us for all the details that led to his arrest.

Finally, we are in a global plastic crisis of our own making.  Plastics made from oil and natural gas have become part of our daily lives from cell phones, to shipping materials and more, but the problem is we use many plastics only once then discard them and it is showing up in our oceans, mountain peaks, and our food.  Andrew Freedman, science editor at Axios, joins us more on our plastic planet.
