President Trump has now weighed in on both his former lawyer and former campaign chairman becoming convicted felons and he has praise for one and jabs for the other. The President continues to say good things about Paul Manafort, but have nothing but contempt for Michael Cohen. Lauren Meier, news editor for Axios, joins us for all the fallout and why Michael Cohen is willing to spill more secrets. Next, we all know how expensive health insurance can be. Health plans are so expensive that Americans are being priced out and ditching insurance. And now they are turning to a patchwork of alternatives to help them get by. John Tozzi, healthcare reporter for Bloomberg News is following the healthcare stories of a dozen families for a year and will join us to talk about two alternatives that are growing in popularity. Finally, it is a punctuation that might be getting overused in recent times and it is also causing a lot of anxiety. It is the exclamation point. People are using it too frequently in texts and emails and it makes people feel weird. On the other hand, when people don't use one, it makes the recipient feel like the sender is mad. Katie Bindley, personal tech reporter for the WSJ, joins us to talk about why the exclamation point is making people freak out.
