Description

New numbers are in for President Trump and he has hit his highest approval ratings for his presidency according to a Washington Post- ABC News poll.  While he continues to have strong numbers for his handling of the economy, a majority of people say that he continues to act un-presidential. Also developing over the weekend, Republican Rep, Justin Amash leaves the party and Nancy Pelosi spars with AOC. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us to break it all down.

Next, it was an elaborate sting operation that Amazon collaborated with the Colorado PD to catch porch pirates, but unfortunately it accomplished nothing.  The plan was simple enough, load fake Amazon packages with GPS trackers and then catch thieves on Amazon-owned Ring doorbell cams.  It was called Operation Grinch Grab and happened with no arrests.  Caroline Haskins, writer for Motherboard at Vice.com joins us for this failed op and also how Amazon’s “Neighbor” app is creating a digital ecosystem in which you are encouraged to think the worst about your neighbors.
