About this episode
(March 27, 2025)
Chris Merrill is in for Bill Handel while he is out on vacation. The Atlantic on Wednesday published a new article detailing purported information about recent American strikes in Yemen. Under current law, swatting threats are only considered to be a crime when they are made against an individual — not an institution, such as a school or hospital. Now, state legislators are backing new legislation to close that loophole. President Trump imposes a 25% tariff on cars and car parts that were imported into the United States. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced it plans to re-test about 4,000 DNA samples after learning the agency used testing kits over a roughly eight-month period that were found by the manufacturer to occasionally deliver incomplete results.
