The “chicken sandwich wars” are over… for now. Popeyes had the most successful product launch in their history with their new chicken sandwich. All it took was a couple of tweets between them and rival Chick-fil-A and the wars started, leading to long lines and eventually selling out completely. Kate Taylor, retail correspondent for Business Insider, joins us for the chicken sandwich craze and also how Popeyes employees hated life during the past two weeks.
Next, the Justice Department’s inspector general has concluded that former FBI Director James Comey violated FBI policies in his handling of memos documenting private conversations with President Trump which led to the appointment of a special counsel. He broke the rules by giving a friend one of the memos with directions to leak it to the media. Olivia Beavers, national security reporter at The Hill, joins us for more.
Finally, what happens when you don’t pay a hospital bill? About 43 million Americans have unpaid medical debt typically from seeing out-of-network doctors, hospital stays, and ambulance rides. Olga Khazan, writer at the Atlantic, joins us for some of the lengths that hospitals and debt collectors go to get you to pay up.
