As the government shutdown continues, it seems that the conversation is starting to veer away from the actual issues… The humanitarian crisis at the border and the border wall itself.  A new report says that possibly thousands of migrant children were separated from their families and released before officials started officially counting them, and we have no idea with who or where they are. Stef Kight, reporter for Axios, joins us for more on what is happening at the border.

Next, there is a controversial startup called Ambrosia that is charging $8,000 to fill the veins of older people with the blood of younger people as a way to combat aging… and they accept PayPal. Erin Brodwin, science reporter for Business Insider, joins us to talk about the murky science behind this idea and where clinics are set up to get your treatment.

Finally, what are you doing this weekend?  Probably not going to Church. According to a new survey, two-thirds of young people say they have stopped going to church and 96% of them say life changes are the main reason why they don’t go anymore. Holly Meyer, religion reporter for the Tennessean joins us for all the reasons young people just aren’t in to church anymore.
