The Daily Dive show

Summary: Tonight is the big night! President Trump will announce his second nominee to be the next Supreme Court Justice. The announcement will be made in prime time and is expected to set off a big fight from Democrats. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters will join us for that and the fallout from Mike Pompeo’s trip to North Korea where he was accused of “gangster like” tactics in perusing the denuclearization. We have another problem in the US. Too much cheese! We have the largest stockpile of cheese in the 100 years since regulators have been keeping tabs. Heather Haddon, reporter for the WSJ joins us for the latest. As milk consumption drops, dairies turn more of it into cheese, and now tariffs from Mexico and China might make the problem worse. Finally, The Wild Boars are making a comeback. The rescue effort to escort the Thai soccer team from a flooded underground cave has begun with promising results. The first group of boys is out, and the race is on amid dropping oxygen levels and more rain. My producer Miranda joins us to detail how the boys are making it out of the cave safely.
