After the latest rash of deadly mass shootings, President Trump says he serious----this time---about enacting new gun control measures.  But several weeks after shootings in California, Texas and Ohio sent shock waves coast to coast and around the globe, there is nothing---zero---to report on new laws like expanded background checks.  
So the police chiefs of the country's biggest cities decided to write a letter to the President, and Congressional leaders , demanding  they get to work on gun control. In fact,  to enact an outright ban on assault rifles.  LAPD Chief Michael Moore is one of the signers .........and he joins us on In Depth.
How does Greenland, the 51st state sound to you?  It apparently sounds pretty good to President Trump, who reportedly gave serious consideration to trying to buy Greenland from Denmark.........even though it's not for sale...........we will go In Depth.
Wells Fargo is accused...........again.........of abusing the trust of its customers. This  time, it's   accounts that customers thought were closed, but were, in fact.,kept open by Wells Fargo, while they wracked up overdraft charges.
Where do America's teenagers get most of their news and current events? YouTube, of course!  But there's a lot more to this story than that, which is why , a bit later, we will go In Depth. 
And we talk with a former director of the CIA's counterterrorism center about the changing role of intelligence agencies in the post-9/11 world.......and how old threats  could become present dangers once again.
