The Saudi foreign minister says that the killing of Jamal Khashoggi was 'tremendous mistake.' The story from Saudi officials is that Khashoggi was strangled after a fistfight, but it still doesn’t explain why he was dismembered. As one Senator said, you don’t bring a bone saw to an accidental fist fight. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us for how President Trump is reacting to all of this, and we also discuss the migrant caravan headed toward the US, now said to have more than 5,000 people marching. Next, we get a little Black Mirror on you. As Google has announced that its phone calling AI assistant Duplex, is headed to some phones before the end of the year. Emily Dreyfus, senior writer at WIRED, joins us for a look into how AI is changing the way offload everyday tasks to technology and interact with other people. We also reminisce about the good ol' day of AOL instant messenger when you only had to worry about creeps on the other side of the chat, now we have to worry about bots too. Finally, Lotto fever continues to grip the country. Nobody won the Mega Millions or the Powerball over the weekend. This pushes the Megan Millions to a record $1.6 Billion dollars and can only go higher before the next drawing on Tuesday. My producer Miranda joins us for how the people behind Mega Millions changed the odds and tweaked the game to create record setting jackpots!
