An In-Depth Look at the Ford/Kavanaugh Hearings Sep 28, 2018

Show notes

It was emotional, exciting, angry, and in the end I’m not sure we are any closer to the truth or consensus. Both Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee to tell their stories and try to establish credibility. Ford’s testimony was emotional and tense as she described an alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee. Brett Kavanaugh was angry, defiant, and also shed some tears during his testimony. Christine Blasey Ford walked away looking credible, and Kavanaugh walked away strong in his denial and with lots of republican support. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for a full analysis of all the testimony and what’s next.

Bill Cosby is in Custody Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

The spectacular fall for a man once known as America’s Dad is complete for now. Bill Cosby has been sentenced to 3-10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand and was taken away after his hearing in handcuffs, an image that many thought they would never see. Claudia Rosenbaum, reporter for Buzzfeed News, joins us for more on the sentencing and Cosby’s classification as a sexually violent predator. Next, President Trump is once again at the top of the World Stage as he delivered an address to the UN General Assembly touching on a wide variety of topics. Trump had tough words for Iran, defended his trade policies, rejected globalism, and promoted the sovereignty of the US and other countries. Nahal Toosi, foreign affairs correspondent for Politico joins us for what the President said and what caused some in the audience to laugh at during his speech. Finally, it seems Millennials are actually doing something right. They are staying married. According to a new analysis, younger couples are causing the divorce rate to plummet. They are being pickier about who they marry and tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. My producer Miranda joins us for why marriages today have a better chance of lasting longer than 10 years ago.

Thursday will continue to be the biggest day in Washington this week. Christine Blasey Ford will testify about sexual assault allegations she made about Brett Kavanaugh.

Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us to break it all down. Next, DNA comes through again! Sacramento police arrested the man known as the NorCal Rapist, and the investigation was almost identical to that of the Golden State Killer. DNA was entered into genealogy website GEDmatch.com and investigators followed the family tree until they zeroed in on their suspect. Sam Stanton, reporter for the Sacramento Bee, joins us for how investigators did it again. Finally, in a story of survival with a happy ending, an Indonesian teenager was rescued after surviving 49 days out at sea with little to no supplies. Aldi Novel Adilang was working on a floating fish trap when his tether snapped and wind pushed him out to sea. He survived by catching fish and drinking sea water he squeezed from his clothes.

A tentative deal has been reached… and it’s going down on Thursday. Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford have agreed that she will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee to provide a firsthand account of her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for what to watch for and whether the President will fire Rod Rosenstein. Next, School districts across the country are modernizing dress codes, signaling the end to standards that have been around for a while. After backlash that dress codes are sexist and unfairly target girls, some schools are beginning to allow spaghetti straps, midriff baring shirts, miniskirts and short shorts. Lauren Meier, reporter for Axios joins us for the new school dress code, just make sure you’re wearing a bottom, a top, shoes, and covering those private parts. Finally, let me introduce you to the helicopter parents of 2018, The Lawnmower parent. These are parents that mow down all of a child’s challenges, discomforts, and struggles, leaving them ill-equipped to deal with the real stuff once they become adults. Justin Worsham, host of The Dad Podcast, joins us to discuss this new parent label, and what to do to avoid being a lawnmower parent.

Will She Testify? Sep 21, 2018

Show notes

The rollercoaster ride that is the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court took another twist as we found out that indeed Christine Blasey Ford is open to testify, just not on Monday, and only if the terms were fair and her safety could be ensured. Ben Shrekinger, National Political Correspondent for Politico joins us for more details and also how those that know Ford and Kavanaugh are split in their support. Next, we touch base again with Wilmington, North Carolina and see how people are coping in the aftermath of Florence. Flooding still persists and more may be on the way. Some are just getting power back and others are just exhausted from the whole ordeal. Alex Riley, reporter for the Wilmington Star News, fills us in on how the recovery efforts are going in an area hit hardest by the storm. Finally, after the Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico mysteriously closed earlier this month and scientists were evacuated, people were left wondering if dangerous solar flares were to follow or if aliens had anything to do with it. Well we now know what happened. The facility was closed due to an FBI investigation about child pornography. We found out that the janitor was up to no good at night. Brianna Sacks, with Buzzfeed News joins us for all the details.
