The Union Vote and the Evangelical Vote, Tiny Houses for the Homeless

Hosted by Barbara Bogaev Mar. 04, 2016

We start today with a look at the political clout of two voter blocs: unions and evangelicals. How much influence will they have in this year’s presidential election?

Then, a story about a citizen who makes tiny houses for the homeless. He’s been handing them out to people on the streets, but the city is cracking down.

In our regular Friday film roundup, our critics give their takes on the latest releases, including a president-in-peril thriller and Tina Fey’s new war comedy.

And finally, what do we know about the health science of vaping?
