Hour 2: What do you make of the Reflecting Pool controversy?

Full Show 6/26/2026: Crime has been dropping dramatically in New Orleans, continuing a strong multi-year downward trend that has pulled the city away from its 2022 peak

On today's show, Crime has been dropping dramatically in New Orleans, continuing a strong multi-year downward trend that has pulled the city away from its 2022 peak. Recent data from the New Orleans Police Department and the Metropolitan Crime Commission confirms that violent crime and major property offenses have dropped significantly over the last three to four years. The Texas State Board of Education is holding a final vote on a landmark proposal that would mandate Bible passages as required reading for more than 5 million public school students. If approved by the Republican-controlled board, the new standardized English language arts curriculum and its "literary canon" reading list will officially take effect for the 2030–2031 school year. What do you make of the Reflecting Pool controversy? The White House issued a report showing the president was right about vandals cutting the paint on the Reflecting Pool - but the report doesn't really support the president's claim. Gabriella Fredriksen, a volunteer and a Community Outreach Coordinator for the Northshore Humane Society, joins the show to talk about their casino night-themed "Larry Brew Fest," which is tomorrow at the Castine Center in Mandeville. Flint Township, Michigan, parents have been charged with second-degree murder, torture, and multiple child abuse counts following the death of their 7-year-old son, Casper, who weighed 255 pounds. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are rumored to be hosting their wedding festivities at Madison Square Garden over the July 4th holiday weekend. While neither the pop star nor the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has publicly confirmed the details, concrete logistical clues have recently surfaced that heavily support a major New York City celebration.
