Description

President Trump is facing criticism from both sides for a decision to withdraw troops in Syria for an expected Turkish attack on Kurds who have been U.S. allies in the fight against ISIS.  He also threatened to destroy Turkey’s economy if they went too far.  Morgan Chalfant, White House reporter for The Hill, joins us for more on Trump’s rationale, getting our troops out of endless wars.

Next, there is a cheating scandal rocking the poker world and it is playing out over YouTube and online forums as internet detectives try to figure out what’s going on.  Poker player, Mike Postle, is under investigation for cheating during live-streamed poker games and is being accused of making too perfect a call on hands.  It’s not the hands he is winning, rather it is those he is losing.  David Hill, contributor to The Ringer, joins us for more.

Finally, more people are going to dealer lots to buy a new car and walking away with seven-year auto loans.   These loans with longer terms have created an illusion of affordability and dealers now make more money on the loans than on the cars they sell.  Ben Eisen, banking reporter for the WSJ, joins us how these longer term loans are putting consumers deeper in debt.
