As impeachment news consumes Washington, more and more Americans seem to think that the House inquiry is a good idea. 

The latest Quinnipiac poll shows a big jump in the number of people who support impeaching President Trump - basically an even split - but a majority now favors the House looking into his actions regarding Ukraine.

This hour, we discuss this, the revelations that Trump wanted to protect the U.S. border with a moat filled with snakes, and even a story about how people can get along in our current political system.

Plus, the closing of a grocery store reignites the debate over the rising minimum wage.
