Beskrivelse

On today's show, Scoot Rouses is expanding to Chalmette. A grocery store opening might not sound like major news, but the right store can change the rhythm of a neighborhood. How many stores do you go to each week to get everything you need? CBS News fired veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley following a heated staff meeting where he directly confronted the program's new leadership. After the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, some people posted comments that were tasteless or offensive but still protected by the First Amendment. Lawsuit settlements for people punished over those comments have now reportedly topped $1.5 million. Do we agree that even ugly speech is still protected speech? Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson is facing backlash after shutting down a crowd chanting “USA! USA!” during a concert. Some fans booed, and some walked out. What did he say—and was he out of line? Senator Ted Cruz pushed back against Republican Representative Andy Ogles, who had posted, "Homosexuality has no place in America." Cruz, responding to the statement, told reporters, "For all of recorded history, homosexuals have been part of humanity," adding, "I'm quite libertarian by nature." I think the behavior of consenting adults is their business."

TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: Violent crimes have changed the way we celebrate

On this Independence Day weekend, we’re taking a look back at the tragic July 4 mass shooting that claimed seven lives and injured nearly 50 others at suburban Chicago parade in 2022. An eight-year-old boy injured in the mass shooting remains partially paralyzed. How have that mass shooting, and the numerous violent events that have made headlines over the past decades, changed the way we celebrate? As our nation celebrates our 250th anniversary, are we finding it harder to trust each other? Featuring audio from WBBM Newsradio in Chicago, KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities, KNX News in Los Angeles, the Marc Cox Morning Show out of 97.1 the Talk in St. Louis and KCBS Radio in San Francisco.
