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

Phil Schumann from Fox 11 News in for John Cobalt with you from 1 to 4 today.

Thanks very much for the opportunity to be here with you. As always, we are live everywhere on the Iheart radio app.

If you're listening on the app, I want you to do is click on that microphone icon at the bottom

of the screen. And you can record a message for us here and we'll play it on the air. Let us know what

you think as we head into an afternoon of discussion about news, both national and more importantly,

local. We're trying to figure out what these national stories mean to us here in Southern

California. If you've been listening to me here

on KFI, you know, we have a sort of a theme of how we stay safe, how we make our lives a little

bit better for ourselves, for our kids, for our families, for our loved ones, how we make sure

that we become productive members of society here in Southern California.

We're not just passive consumers of events that, as Tim Conway Jr.

like to say often smack us in the face here.

So, of course, since New Year's, we've been dominated by the stories out of New Orleans

where the truck attack took

14 lives. We're going to talk more about the victims than the suspect, because I think that's

what they deserve. And there's so many heart-wrenching stories. We're also going to get an update

on what may have led this Green Beret, this Army Special Forces soldier,

to blow himself up in that cyber truck outside of the Trump International Hotel in Vegas.

So with information on both of those big stories, we're going to go live now to Josh Margolin,

Chief Investigative Reporter with ABC News, who joins us from New York.

Josh, we have more details on both cases, right?
