Trump Kids’ Bizarre Businesses, Clooney Defends Journalism, & Mutation Behind 4-Hour Super-Sleepers

In this episode, the Newsgirls round up the long list of Trump kids businesses you’ve probably never heard of. A publishing company?! Guns and drones?! Fresh produce?! How do they all push the MAGA agenda? Then, Wren & Mabel get personal after watching Tony-nominated Good Night and Good Luck starring George Clooney. They address the lawsuit against their former employer 60 Minutes and the importance of journalism in a democracy.  Finally, the Newsgirls look into the rare genetic mutation that allows people to thrive off of 4-6 hours of sleep. They interview the lead researcher of the landmark discovery about what makes these super-sleepers so different from the rest of us!
