Summary

Around 2 p.m. every day, some men will use their corporate computers to make an appointment to have sex with a minor--and many of those appointments will occur on corporate property. Businesses, says Geoff Rogers, CEO and co-founder of U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking, are among the organizations that may seem to have no connection to sex trafficking--but can play a role in ending it in the United States, where thousands of children, many originally in the foster care system, are now victims of sex trafficking. Plus: We discuss President Trump's push for Bible literacy classes in public schools.We also cover these stories:•The Congressional Budget Office reports the shutdown cost a total of $3 billion in foregone economic activity that won’t be recovered.•Sens. Chuck Grassley, R- Iowa, and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., introduced a bill would require Congress and the public receive a report when a special counsel investigation is over or if the special counsel is fired or resigns. •The Midwest is about to be hit with a record-breaking cold snap.
