790 KABC

About this episode

As the News Blitz with Randy Wang comes to an end, the host reflects on the past two and a half years of bringing you the daily rundown of everything you need to know in California, Southern California, the Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego, and the Central Valley. But amidst the nostalgia, Randy tackles some pressing issues that need attention, from the upcoming 2028 Olympics to the city's chronic traffic problems.

This episode is a mix of news, commentary, and personal anecdotes as Randy shares his thoughts on the city's priorities. He discusses the proposed water taxis and air taxis that will supposedly make transportation easier during the Olympics, but raises concerns about the impact on the average fan who can't afford the high prices. He also talks about the city's lack of attention to traffic, citing the mayor's promise to address the issue in 2022, which never materialized.

Randy also shares a personal story about his experience with the city's 311 app, which he claims doesn't work, and highlights the efforts of Juan Nala, a resident who has taken it upon himself to clean up the city's streets. He also discusses the importance of a clean city and how it affects public safety. Additionally, he talks about the city's treatment of small businesses, using the example of Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill, which is being forced out of its lease to make way for a new development.

As the News Blitz comes to an end, Randy invites listeners to tune in to the John Phillips Show and the Accountability Podcast, where he'll continue to bring you the news and commentary you need. Don't miss the final two episodes of the News Blitz, and be sure to catch the live event at Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill on September 4th to show your support for this beloved local business.
