All the talk in Southern California is about the snow and a very rare blizzard warning going out for the local mountains. But many of us seem completely unprepared for the cold conditions.

Remember when we got all that rain not too long ago? That was a lot and we're in for even more now. Two icy cold storm systems are moving into southern California and they might be the coldest storms in many years. In fact, there's a chance you could see snow in parts of the local valleys. We go In Depth into whether history will be made.  We also look into how local governments can be held accountable when they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on emergencies like the homeless crisis.  President Biden tries to one-up Vladimir Putin when it comes to the war in Ukraine, countering the Russian leader's address with a big speech of his own.  People make career changes all the time but usually the transition from one to another makes sense. For example, an athlete will get into sports broadcasting after his or her career. We talk to an actress who had a great, well-paying job until Hollywood came calling. You'll probably never guess what she was doing. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

A Winter weather nightmare for much of the country. A band of storms is ripping through the Plains, Midwest and South and is now heading east. It hit hard in the north with snow and blizzard conditions. Down south, there have been tornadoes that have killed at least two people and hurt at least a couple dozen others.

President Biden is signing the Respect for Marriage Act into law this afternoon, and while it goes farther than anything else in federal law in protecting marriage rights for same sex couples, it does not in fact legalize same sex marriage. We'll go In Depth and give you a primer on what the act does, and doesn't do. The arrest of cryptocurrency guru Sam Bankman-Fried is yet another blow to the crypto currency, that at one point was touted as the future of financial transactions in this country. We'll take a broader look at the future of crypto and ask whether it will ever make a good investment. And the end times are near ... apparently ... for plenty of Americans: we're going to take a closer look at a new survey that finds 2-in-5 Americans believes we're living in the midst of Armageddon. The nuclear fusion breakthrough at a California research laboratory is being called "revolutionary" and a "game changer" in creating clean, limitless energy. But while we might have taken one step closer to harnessing the power of the sun, how soon before it makes a difference in any of our lives?

For decades, nuclear fusion has held the promise of limitless energy while producing zero carbon emissions ... it has essentially been a unicorn chased by thousands of physicists as the key to providing the world with a truly clean and vibrant power source. And up until now, it's been an elusive promise ... but an announcement expected tomorrow by the U.S. Department of Energy could change all of that. We'll get a preview and go In Depth. One of the first orders of business by newly sworn in Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was to declare a state of emergency on the city's homeless situation ... and while that sounds decisive, what does it actually change when it comes to the city's policies for addressing the ever-expanding homeless population? And Dr. Anthony Fauci was put back in the crosshairs of Republicans by none other than Elon Musk ... in what is a preview of several investigations being tee'd up by House Republicans taking aim at Fauci's work during the depth of the COVID pandemic. The families of the 270 people killed on Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland have had to wait 34 years for justice in what was, up until 9/11, the biggest single terror attack aimed at Americans. Well today the bombmaker who has been blamed for the Pan Am explosion was arrested and will be charged in a U.S. court ... and we'll talk with a family member of one of the victims. And at the end of today's show: Generation Z storms the workplace with their emojis and fast talking, confounding their older colleagues who are trying to translate the communications of the first generation raised with smartphones.

Lots of noise and ruckus at today's LA City Council meeting. It was all because of councilman Kevin DeLeon. He made a brief appearance before protesters yelled and made a scene. The council then went into recess before coming back out without DeLeon. Of course, he's refused to resign following the leak of those racist remarks caught on tape. All this comes just before Karen Bass takes over as Mayor starting on Sunday. We go In Depth.  More and more men now are having problems with work as in they're not working. We look into the reasons for this troubling trend.  A new study finds lots of people are moving to areas where there's a high risk of wildfires. But why?  'Tis the season for the Oscar-worthy movies to play in the theaters. But there's a problem right now--the movies are playing but hardly anyone is at the theaters watching them. We go In Depth into why and what this means for the future of theaters.  Dating these days can be a challenge for people. Throw in inflation and it's an even bigger challenge because now money is a factor.

Television has played such an important role in our consumption of news for the past 60 years or so. Both T-V and radio have allowed people to get real time images and audio of breaking news events.

We're now just hearing about the departures at NBC-4 here in LA of longtime news anchors. We go In Depth into the future, if there is one, of TV news.  President Biden once said COVID was a pandemic of the unvaccinated. But that doesn't seem to be true today.

What LA city councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de Leon are doing .... by refusing to resign in the face of intense pressure, over their use of racist language on a secret recording ... is becoming a common tactic in American politics: elected officials who hope they can ride out the storm of controversy, and that voters aren't really paying much attention. So we'll go In Depth. And the man who arguably pioneered that tactic, Donald Trump, has officially been issued a subpoena to testify in front of the House January 6th Committee. But will the former president actually ever have to answer questions, under oath, about that fateful day? Sticking with the former president ... new reporting shows that Trump was keeping some heavyweight intelligence materials among his stash of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago ... so we'll go In Depth on that too. Elon Musk says he will essentially gut Twitter's workforce, with plans to lay off about 75% of Twitter employees. So what will a hollowed-out Twitter look like on the user's end? A recommendation by a CDC committee that school districts, universities, camps and more add the COVID vaccine to the list of required immunizations has lit a new fire under the anti-vax crowd. And why are thousands of young kids across the country landing in hospitals with what amounts to the common cold virus?

The population of Los Angeles is made up of at least 50-percent Latino residents ... and yet, up until last week, there were just four Latino members of LA's 15-seat city council. And now, after the resignation of Nury Martinez and Gil Cedillo being termed out, there will be just two: one of them being a scandal-plagued Kevin de Leon. How will the ongoing racism and corruption scandal hanging over LA's city council impact Latino representation in this city? We will go In Depth. LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva joins the program to answer questions about a questionable use of force by one of his deputies in Inglewood ... and to discuss his calls for Councilmember de Leon to resign. And back to the city council scandal: a major Black real estate developer is refusing to go forward on a major project in downtown LA until Cedillo and de Leon resign from the council .... so we'll talk with him. British Prime Minister Liz Truss lasted a mere 45 days in office, the shortest-tenured prime minister in British history. And with her resignation today, Great Britain's government is descending into chaos ... we'll go to London for the latest. And toward the end of today's show, we'll talk about high inflation striking twice: First, in rising mortgage interest rates, now approaching 7-percent, and a dramatic drop in mortgage applications ... how will that impact Southern California's red hot real estate market? And then when it comes to taxes ... high inflation might just give you a small break on your tax bill.

If polls show us anything it's that campaigns are marathons not sprints. Just a couple of months ago, Karen Bass had a sizeable lead over Rick Caruso in the LA mayor's race. But the most recent poll to come out--this from the Southern California News Group--has Rick Caruso three points ahead with the election just under three weeks away.

We go In Depth into what happens now to the people there and if this shows Putin is getting desperate.  Automated driving systems are being blamed for more car crash deaths across the U.S.  A new lawsuit looks to make more government documents public about the JFK assassination.  LA is ranked in the top three of a dubious list when it comes to rats.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Those racist remarks caught on tape have already led to the resignation of Nury Martinez from the LA City Council. Protesters and colleagues have been asking Kevin DeLeon and Gil Cedillo to do the same. Even the two mayor candidates, Karen Bass and Rick Caruso, have condemned the remarks. But they both seem to be disconnected right now with what's going on in city council. We go In Depth into why.  A new poll shows people are worried about the future of democracy in the country but not enough apparently to want to do much about it.  Researchers are looking into a currently available drug because it might help people with long COVID.  President Biden is trying to rally voters by promising action on abortion rights after the midterm elections. We go In Depth into whether his plan will actually work because Democrats might be losing momentum.

Liz Cheney's congressional career is likely over, after Wyoming voters sent her to defeat in last night's Republican primary. The ardent conservative was among the most aggressive members of Congress attempting to hold former President Trump to account for his actions ... and it likely cost her a job. We'll go to Wyoming for the latest. But while she'll be leaving the House, could Cheney still have a career in politics? Specifically, could she be a future presidential candidate in 2024? We'll go In Depth. And Rudy Giuliani, who finds himself the target of a criminal probe in Georgia, was in the Peach State this morning to testify in front of a grand jury ... investigating attempts to overturn that state's 2020 election results. After two tumultuous and sloppy years responding to the coronavirus pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control is headed for a makeover. We'll take a closer look at plans announced today for a revamping and reorganization of the CDC. Speaking of COVID, new research out of Cedars Sinai today shows that most people who were infected by the omicron variant probably never even knew they had it. And at the end of today's show: if someone were to ask you, "what's the healthier snack .... ice cream or a granola bar," you'd probably guess granola bar, right? Well you'd be wrong--it's ice cream.   A new tool from Tufts University ... called the Food Compass ... is revealing a lot of inconvenient truths about the nutritional value of what you're putting in your body.

And Liz Cheney is likely to be voted out of Congress tonight, thanks to her refusal to go along with Donald Trump's election lies--we'll get a preview of tonight's primary election in Wyoming. Airlines are already canceling flights in November leading up to Thanksgiving. Is that a sign of more chaos in the friendly skies over the holidays, or perhaps a smart move to avoid all of those last-minute canceled flights we saw earlier this summer? At least 20-thousand students were no-shows during the first day of classes at LAUSD campuses ... signs of a very big problem for the District in getting students, disrupted by the COVID pandemic, back on track. And at the end of today's In Depth: why are more younger women getting Botox at much earlier ages ... and can that actually prevent wrinkles before they appear?

Record high temperatures never even imagined there were set today. We go In Depth into that and the possibility President Biden could declare a climate emergency. A movement is getting bigger to unionize workers at local Korean BBQ and other Korean-owned restaurants. But there are some barriers. A war between fast food giants is brewing in a small Missouri town. It's all because of what's being written on their big outdoor signs.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

A massive heat wave that has been scorching Europe has moved north to the U.K. It's bringing with it temperatures of more than 100 degrees which is unheard of for our friends across the pond. It's so hot that a Royal Air Force runway actually melted.  Some weather experts were a couple decades early in their forecast for scorching hot temperatures. We go In Depth into Palm Springs-like weather in the North Atlantic.  La Nina might be back again which could mean another dry Winter for southern California.  While many European economies struggle because of the war in Ukraine, Russia seems to be fine--at least for now.  A new report is out that slams the police response to the Uvalde school shooting. We go In Depth into what happened and who's ultimately responsible for the very slow response.  COVID cases continue to increase in California. We could see levels that surpass the big omicron wave last Winter.  A popular candy many kids and adults enjoy is now said to be unfit for human consumption in a new lawsuit.  Dodger Stadium hosts the All Star game tomorrow but good luck affording a ticket to that and many other sporting events now.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans blame President Joe Biden ... the president blames Russia and greedy companies ... but we may now, finally have the right group to blame for stubbornly high inflation: MILLENNIALS! We'll explain and go in depth on why high prices are the fault of our younger colleagues. The U.S. Secret Service is denying it, but there are now several confirmed reports that agents deleted several text messages centered around the January 6th, even after they were ordered to preserve all communications about the insurrection. And it's going to hit 100-degrees, and then some, in several spots across Northern Europe over the next week ... and these are places that aren't supposed to get that hot, even in summertime. Is climate change to blame? Speaking of climate change, at the end of today's In Depth we'll look at how Senator Joe Manchin has once again stuck it to his fellow Democrats by refusing to support sweeping legislation meant to stem the effects of climate change. We'll look at some very interesting research that links violent crime rates and heart health in big cities. And the man described as a butcher and blamed by President Biden for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman got a widely noticed ... and widely criticized ... fist bump from the president in Riyadh today.

Yesterday we told you about thousands of beagles that need rescuing in Virginia ... but today our dog story hits closer to home: LA city animal shelters, short on money, staff and volunteers, are keeping dogs locked up in their kennels for weeks or even months at a time ... without letting them out for long walks or to play. So we'll go In Depth. LA County will likely be designated as an area of high COVID spread today, and with hospitalizations from the virus slowly creeping up, the return of the indoor mask mandate is possible. But will anyone actually enforce it? And at the end of today's show we're going to try to answer some questions about the growing confusion over COVID vaccines: should you run out to get a second booster shot, or wait until the next crop of newly developed vaccines are available? Some of California's most sizzling real estate markets are finally showing signs of cooling off ... if you've been sitting on the sidelines, is now the time to try to buy a new house? Russia launched a missile attack far away from the front lines in Ukraine, hitting a town in the western part of the country with seemingly no military value, killing dozens of civilians. We'll get an update as that war grinds on. And we'll check in on President Biden's very complicated trip to the Middle East.

We've been telling you for weeks about steadily declining gas prices here in Southern California and across the country ... but apparently those high gas prices are still having a major economic impact because inflation for the month of June continued at a record setting pace. We'll go In Depth on what has been the weirdest American economy in recent memory. Over 4-thousand Beagles, who just survived horrible conditions at a research facility in Virginia, are looking for loving forever homes .. we'll get you the details. And Starbucks is closing stores here in Los Angeles and other West Coast cities because rampant homelessness has become too much for their staffers to handle. California will become the first state in the country to formally move back the start time for high schools and middle schools ... we'll look at how a little extra sleep could go a long way for teenagers, and their parents. BMW is going to start charging its customers in several countries a subscription fee if owners want to use their cars' seat warmers. That's right--they're going to charge you to use the seat warmers ... in your own car. And at the end of today's show, MIT researchers predicted 50 years ago that there would be a full-scale, global societal collapse here on Earth by 2040. We're going to talk with a modern day researcher who checked their data and concluded ... yup, it's all looking pretty grim for us.

The BA.5 COVID omicron variant certainly is doing its best to ruin our post-pandemic plans. As we are in the midst of our third straight summer of surging COVID cases, most Americans are simply acting as if it isn't happening ... and carrying on with their business. But there is emerging evidence that people are getting sicker with this COVID variant, and it's more contagious ... so we'll go In Depth on all of it. We will then dive into today's January 6th committee hearing, which detailed what was repeatedly described as an "unhinged" meeting in the Trump oval office .... and presented arguments that the former president's January 6th rally was always designed to be violent. This morning's Emmy nominations were noticeably devoid of shows from traditional TV networks, as cable and streaming outlets dominated the awards categories. Is there still a role for old-school network shows in today's television landscape? Surgeons are moving one step closer to being able to use animal organs for transplants into human beings ... we'll look at a recent successful experiment with that. And if you've seen the stunning pictures produced the Webb space telescope you've looked deeper into the universe than anyone has previously been able to do ... and we'll talk more about what exactly we're seeing in those images.

They certainly aren't coming down as fast as they went up, but nonetheless we are seeing a sustained drop in gas prices. Here in Southern California we're getting closer to the 6-dollars-per-gallon mark ... and who would ever think we'd be happy to be paying ONLY 6-bucks?! We'll try to explain what's behind the recent price drop at the pump. A San Francisco OBGYN is proposing a novel idea to get abortion access for women living in Republican southern states: she wants to set up a floating abortion clinic ... on a ship ... in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. So we'll talk with her about that effort. And turns out Joe Biden is not just unpopular overall in America ... he's unpopular even within his own political party. Long time Trump advisor Steve Bannon says he's now ready and willing to cooperate with the January 6th congressional commission, but is this a genuine about face of more legal scheming? There is growing evidence that all of the safety gear and tech crammed into new cars is actually distracting us to the point of being ... unsafe. And just what restaurants need: extortionists are targeting restaurants for a flood of negative reviews and ratings on Google and Yelp ... and then they're demanding restaurants pay them to stop.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two weeks ago. Now President Biden is taking action. He signed an executive order today to protect access to abortion while also slamming the high court for its ruling. We go In Depth.  The LA County Board of Supervisors wants the power to fire the sheriff. Voters could decide. We hear what Sheriff Alex Villanueva has to say about it.  Former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone has answered questions in front of the January 6th Committee. Will it be enough to satisfy the Justice Department?  Following a recent rash of mass shootings in the U.S., we now had one in Denmark and an assassination of a former prime minister in Japan. We go In Depth into why the violence is spreading overseas.  Stores are no longer empty. They're so full now they're offering massive discounts to get you inside.  We end the show with an interview with rock star Kenny Loggins. He has a new memoir out about his decades long career. He's also performing again with Jim Messina.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

If the January 6th Committee is looking for its so-called "John Dean moment," it could come tomorrow. Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone is set to answer questions about what he knew about efforts to overturn the 2020 election. We go In Depth into whether this could be the smoking gun testimony that leads to criminal charges.  Boris Johnson will soon be out as the UK's prime minister. All those scandals finally caught up to him. We look into how this could impact British-American relations, especially when it comes to dealing with Russia.  Remember when doctors said those mRNA vaccines were great because they could quickly be updated? Well, we're still waiting for those updates as new COVID variants and subvariants emerge. Are we falling behind in the chance to finally slow down COVID?  Airlines seem to be getting their act together. Flight delays and cancellations are easing but could this have been solved sooner?  We take a look back at the life of actor James Caan. The Godfather star died at the age of 82 leaving behind a large legacy.  Brad Pitt is someone everyone will recognize. But he apparently has a problem recognizing others. It's a real medical condition.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Remember when marijuana was legalized? One of the big selling points for it in California was that it would generate lots of tax money. But that's also been a problem. Cannabis businesses say too many taxes and regulations have made it too difficult to turn a profit. The state now is deciding to help, cutting a cultivation tax. We go In Depth into how the industry can survive.  The pandemic has brought about a lifeguard shortage, especially at community pools.  Some local scientists are working to help investors avoid cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes.  Inflation has been blamed on corporate greed but some economists dispute that, saying that's not really what's happening.  A bad day for former President Trump when it comes to the 2020 election investigations. A key White House lawyer agrees to talk to the January 6th Committee.  Illinois' red flag laws and background checks couldn't stop the suspected July 4th parade shooter from buying guns legally. We go In Depth into whether these laws could be made tougher.  We look into whether Ukraine's military can push Russia out of the Donbas region or if Russia is now in control of the war there.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Another mass shooting rocks the country as parades are now seemingly no longer safe from this kind of violence. A parade honoring America on Independence Day in a quiet, affluent community north of Chicago was abruptly stopped as a shooter fired into the crowd. Seven people were killed, another 30 or so hurt. The accused shooter is now in custody. We go In Depth with the latest into the Highland Park parade shooting rampage.  WNBA star Brittney Griner is now asking President Biden directly to help get her out of Russia where she's been detained since February.  Russia is making gains in eastern Ukraine but at what cost? This recent COVID surge in California seems to keep going with no signs of slowing down. That means indoor masks might be made mandatory again in LA County.  We go In Depth into what a recession might look like and if it'll really be that bad.  People are headed to movie theaters again but will they keep going once the Summer blockbusters end?  Scientists are now linking wildfires to a massive extinction event millions of years ago. Are we in for a repeat now?  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Supreme Court hands down two more major rulings today as it wraps up its latest term. One allows the Biden administration to get rid of a Trump-era policy forcing some U.S. asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico. The other though is a blow to the administration's ability to fight climate change. We go In Depth into these key cases.  We also look at what's next for the court. Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in today as the newest justice but it's unlikely that'll shift the court's more conservative views on big cases.  California's gas tax goes up tomorrow. This as the state looks to give people more money to fight inflation.  LA is at the heart of what could be a major shakeup in college sports. Imagine a world in which UCLA and USC join the Big-10. It might happen and we look into why.  We get an update from a woman from Mariupol, Ukraine who left the country at the start of the war and is now unsure if she'll even have a home if she ever comes back.  The song "American Pie" is so famous that almost everyone young and old know the chorus. Charles and I talked to Don McLean about his song and his upcoming show tomorrow in Beverly Hills.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

So much hate in California now. The number of hate crimes in the state increased in 2021 for the third year in a row. Perhaps the most startling number is the rise of attacks on Asian-Americans...a nearly 178 percent jump from 2020 to 2021. We go In Depth into why more Asian-Americans are the targets of violent bigotry and prejudice.  The descendants of the family that once owned Bruce's Beach in Manhattan Beach are now officially getting the land back. But theirs isn't the only story of stolen land. Other Black families here in southern California are trying to get land back that was once theirs.  We look into whether it's just inevitable that we're all getting COVID at some point.  Millions of us here in California will be getting stimulus money to deal with inflation. But will it backfire? President Biden pledges more U.S. troops in Europe as NATO looks to expand.  Solving a murder now seems to be harder for police.  Young sharks are hanging out around the beaches of southern California. We look into what they're doing.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

A deal is struck with Turkey to allow Finland and Sweden to join NATO...will it help a united front against Russia? The human smuggling tragedy in Texas as at least 51 migrant workers die...we get the latest from San Antonio. Looking at two big drug store chains rationing emergency contraception now Roe versus Wade is history.

The Supreme Court with an historic ruling today, overturning the landmark decision Roe v. Wade and with it nearly 50 years of a constitutional protection for abortion access. Now, it's up to the states to decide and nearly half are on track to either outright ban abortion or severely limit the procedure. We go In Depth with a panel of experts to both start and end the show as we discuss the future of women's rights and reproductive rights in America.  The pro-choice side obviously unhappy. Protesters are outside the Supreme Court building and holding demonstrations elsewhere.  But the pro-life side is celebrating today as a major win.  So what happens now? Here in California, the state is taking action on legislation to protect patients and providers against abortion bans in other states.  And what are the ramifications come the midterm elections? Will this loss today on the pro-choice side lead to wins in November for pro-choice candidates?

We go In Depth to find out what it means for the economy and all of us.  A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds most Democrats and Republicans are pessimistic about the future of democracy here in the U.S. A majority on both sides say it's “likely” that America will “cease to be a democracy in the future.” Are they right?  The third January 6th Committee hearing starts tomorrow. We'll learn about more evidence it says it has against former President Trump but is the American public really paying attention?  Remember when people thought all those sanctions would weaken Russia? It turns out they may have actually hurt the U.S. We go In Depth into concerns coming out of the White House.  A result of higher gas prices is more gas theft as thieves in Nevada are apparently looking to provide a cheap supply for Californians.  A beer belly might be bad for you but beer in your belly could be good.

If you've noticed downtown LA is busier than usual, it's because it is. The Summit of the Americas starts today as the U.S. and other countries in North, Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean, get together to discuss big issues like migration, climate change and inflation. President Biden will be here later this week. But Mexico's president won't, nor will the leaders of some other big players in Latin America. We go In Depth into what, if anything, this summit will accomplish.  California's primary election is tomorrow. Don't expect long lines at voting centers and precincts though if early voting is any indication of voter turnout.  Vladimir Putin is warning the U.S. and Britain to avoid sending certain rockets to Ukraine---or else. We look into if Putin is serious about the "or else."  A big month is ahead for the Supreme Court and the country. Rulings from some big cases will come down soon, including whether Roe v. Wade really will be overturned.  Britain's prime minister Boris Johnson has just survived a no confidence vote tonight in Parliament. We head to London to find out how he survived and if his leadership is permanently damaged anyway.  People across the country are turning into cheaper tippers than before the pandemic.  And Cheech Marin is more than just a comedian and actor. He's an art collector and he has his own museum opening soon right here in southern California. We talk to him about it.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Longtime politician versus longtime businessman. Karen Bass and Rick Caruso have separated themselves from the rest of the pack in the race for mayor of LA. It looks like they'll be the final two candidates remaining following Tuesday's primary election. We talked to Bass already last week and now, this time, we're going In Depth with Rick Caruso to find out why he says he should be mayor. Monkeypox is here...apparently.

The shooter was a man--again. We look into why you hardly see a mass shooting case involving a woman.  Gas prices show no signs of slowing down and the war in Ukraine shows no signs of ending soon. All that is raising concerns of a possible energy crisis that we haven't seen since the 1970s.   More and more people are holding off on retirement now because of inflation.  The UK starts a big four-day-long celebration and party--the Platinum Jubilee--for Queen Elizabeth, marking 70 years as monarch.

The end of the war in Ukraine seems a long, long way away. Russian forces continue to attack cities. Russia did call for a limited cease-fire so corridors could be set up for civilians to escape safely. But there are complaints that many of those routes lead right into Russia and its ally, Belarus. We go In Depth into the war in Ukraine.  We talk to a woman who says she left Kyiv and has been moving around to stay safe. The U.S. is working with its partners in Europe on a possible ban of Russian oil imports. We look into what this will do to already high gas prices here.  The war is impacting the stock market. The Dow takes a massive hit. A COVID antibody treatment can help immunocompromised people.

The city is considering ending its rule that requires restaurants and other indoor businesses to check for proof-of-vaccination.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
