Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to testify before Congress this week, answering questions about user data privacy. What is Congress looking to hear? Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is on both Senate committees that will hear Facebook’s testimony and says regulation could be in Facebook’s future. Then, rising tension between the U.S. and China over tariffs has America’s heartland worried about the potential fallout. Craig Hill, head of the Iowa Farm Bureau, says Iowans could begin to lose their farms. He joins Soledad O’Brien for conversation on how the rhetoric has already cost some farmers this year’s profit and the dangers of American agriculture losing its reliability. And, black students continue to be disciplined more frequently and more harshly than white students. Grade school suspensions and expulsions can negatively shape students for the rest of their lives, affecting their academic performance as well as social and emotional development. Soledad O’Brien sits down with Cami Anderson, founder of the Discipline Revolution Project, to discuss a better way to discipline.
