Looking into Trump University - Back in 2004, Donald Trump founded Trump University, which offered online classes in business topics ranging from real estate to asset management. Since then, the university has been accused of being an illegally operated enterprise that defrauded its students. We are joined by The New York Times Reporter Steve Eder to discuss his findings from the paper's investigations into Trump U.

Newark's Contaminated Water - Yet another story of contaminated water, but this time, it's closer to home. In Newark, N.J., taps have been turned off at some schools because the water may potentially contain dangerous levels of lead. Newark TEACHERS Union President John Abeigon joins us to explain how officials are addressing the problem.

MMA in NYC - New York is the only state with a ban on professional mixed martial arts fighting, which is why you'd be hard-pressed to catch a match in Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center. But that might change in the coming weeks. The New York State Assembly is expected to change its stance on it. We speak to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams to hear why he thinks this popular sport should be legalized in New York.
Brat Pack's McCarthy - Actor and 80s heartthrob, Andrew McCarthy of the "Brat Pack" joins us to discuss his career in beloved movies like "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Pretty In Pink," and his role in ABC's new drama, "The Family."
