KFI a.m. 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

And you're saying that doesn't sound like John. It is not John. I'm Phil Schumann,

sitting in for John Cobalt with you from 1 to 4 this afternoon. Always a fun afternoon.

Although we're talking about some very serious, deadly serious topics today.

I hate to bring you down as we head into the

beginning of the new year. Spectacular sunny day here in Southern California. This is what we love

about it, right? But of course, dominating the news, the situation in New Orleans, the aftermath of

that terrible terrorist attack, and then the same time the explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

The latest is that the investigators are saying they are not related.

We're going to get into those in a detailed way this afternoon.

We'll have live reports from New Orleans, from Vegas.

We're going to talk with law enforcement experts and not just to get the latest on the

news because you can do that anywhere. But what I'm trying to do, what we're trying to do is help

you understand what's going on here and try to answer the questions. Are we safe? How do we

stay safe? What can we do to make us safer? So a lot to think about over the next few hours.

Please stay with us.
