This is going to be a big week for tariffs in the US.  Some of our allies and biggest trading partners have slapped the US with retaliatory tariffs on some of the biggest agricultural products we export such as beef, pork, and soybeans.  Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us for a breakdown of these tariffs, the news that North Korea may be deceiving us about denuclearization, and the ongoing anger over the president’s immigration policies. Next, we will get you all the details about the Capital Gazette shooting.  Who were the 5 victims that had their lives taken prematurely and why the shooter’s grudge over a negative article about him in the paper motivated him to carry out this attack? Brianna Sacks, Buzzfeed news reporter joins us for that and also why anyone who’s ever worked at a newspaper has a Jarrod Ramos story to tell. Finally, confusion over how the shooter was identified swirled in the hours after the attack.  Police used facial recognition technology to confirm his identity.  As more police departments use this tech in increasing ways, it was a win for the Anne Arundel police and for the technology.  Tech reporter for USA Today, Marco Della Cava joins us to discuss how the process works and why some civil liberty groups fear facial recognition technology.
