-Discussing two of this morning's top stories. The defense of the rising cost of EpiPens - story here. And, Donald Trump has again changed his position on what to do with illegal immigrants - story here.
-Audio of a George Carlin special recorded just before 9/11 is now being released. It wasn't released before because of jokes he made seeing 'lots' of people get killed on the news, and not liking cops. Plus, a cop calls 9-1-1 to get a ride home after drinking too much.
-Fox's Tonya J. Powers with the latest on the EpiPen controversy and the dramatic price increase over the last several years - story here. Plus, Monaski thinks this story is reminiscent of the Martin Shkreli story - where the cost of an HIV drug jumped from $15 to $750 - in case you forgot, here's the story. Ironically, Shkreli is weighing in on the EpiPen price hike - story here.
