Potentially the worst heat wave in a decade helps start two fires and leads to rolling blackouts across California. COVID hospitalizations are dropping but the data remains an issue. LASD gives a press conference on Andres Guardado’s shooting, and the LAPD Chief says sorry for a police lie about a Councilmember. What does it mean for local politics if Biden and Harris win? And an interview with NRDC Senior Attorney MELISSA LIN-PERELLA about a consequential vote by City Council regarding emissions at the Port of LA.

Who threw a law enforcement party at a Hollywood bar? What is a “Community Safety Partnership Bureau” and why does LAPD want to start one? Does any LA law enforcement department not have gangs? Did City Council vote to resume sweeps? Did you feel the earthquake? Why was Karen Bass talking about Scientology?

The LAPD lets us know they’re on high alert after Trump’s killing of General Soleimani. Chief Michel Moore has words for hit-and-run drivers. Sheriff Alex Villanueva is disappointed in the media online. And SB50 is back on the table.

Alissa, Scott and Hayes follow up on the police shooting of Melyda Corado at Trader Joe’s and Ref Rodriguez’s resignation, complain about streetcars and unimpressive Metro goals, pick apart a Sheriff’s debate, and Prop Lock and Drop It for a water bond.

Scott and Hayes wrap up Tuesday’s primary elections and the new choice for LAPD Chief, then dig into the massive amounts of pro-charter school money flowing into every election in California. Plus Scott goes on a very restrained rant about the different rail options Metro has put forward for the Sepulveda Pass.

Scott and Hayes apologize for pronouncing Michel Moore’s name like that, Cristina Garcia is absolved kind of, big news in the Woon Frazier story, USC steps in another truly revolting scandal, and a very dumb Congressional race in far east LA County.

LEAKED: the list of three finalists for LAPD Chief. Scott and Hayes talk about the choices and a not-great day Chief Beck had this week. Then: RUDY ESPINOZA from Leadership for Urban Renewal Network (LURN) talks about the fight to legalize street vending in LA, the only major American city with no permitting process for vendors.
