L.A.'s Memorial Coliseum has been playing host to college football, NFL football, two Olympics, baseball games, concerts and countless more events since 1923......a lot has changed about the Coliseum over the decades, but the name has renamed a constant: that simple name was tribute to all who served in the armed forces in World War I.

But the name could soon change to the "United Airlines" Memorial Coliseum, after USC signed a corporate naming rights deal---and veterans have some things to say about that plan. We will go In Depth.

Just about everyone can agree that driving through the streets of L.A.'s Westside is patience-testing and headache-inducing. But is a 4-dollar congestion fee the answer to easing traffic? That idea has been proposed, and we will discuss it.

Hope springs eternal on this opening day of the 2019 baseball season, where every team still has a chance to win a World Series.

Facebook is in trouble again, this time accused of facilitating housing discrimination through its advertising formula.

And Disneyland is giving the boot to smokers and double-wide strollers, as it makes room for the new Star Wars attraction.

One day the urgent alerts coming to your phone will be all too real, warning of a massive earthquake that's about to hit Southern California within minutes, or even seconds.

But today, for some 40-thousand people living around downtown Oakland whose cell phones went off with warnings of an approaching quake, it was just a test: the first big public roll out of the still developing early warning system, but a big first step toward making this tool available for everyone--we will go In Depth.

President Trump, seemingly free from scrutiny over his alleged collusion with Russia back in 2016, has revisited an old political battle: repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. The President has renewed his effort to get rid of Obamacare and promises an even better replacement........so we'll go In Depth on what a new national healthcare system might look like.

Boeing says it has a software fix for the automated flight control system that was likely responsible for bringing down two brand new 737 MAX airliners in fatal crashes; but would YOU ever get back on board one of these planes?

And Henry Winkler has been a well established pop icon for decades, thanks to his role as Arthur Fonzarelli on "Happy Days," but he's never been one to rest on old accomplishments.

The Chicago prosecutor who brought the case against TV star Jussie Smollett for allegedly orchestrating a fake attack on himself says he still believes the actor lied about the attack---and yet today, in a shocking twist, the entire case was dismissed.........the charges were dropped.

If Smollett wasn't exonerated, what exactly went down? We will go In Depth.

Grim news from a pair of old school massacres that made two tragedies even more tragic: the suicides of two survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the suicide of a father of a young victim at the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Why the idea of "survivor's guilt" is all too real......

[MIKE] When you get a five-foot-long receipt from CVS after you've purchased ONE item, your first instinct might be to laugh at the absurdity of it. But a California lawmaker says those scroll-length receipts are doing major environmental damage and he wants to ban them.

The maker of OxyContin agrees to pay Oklahoma 270-million-dollars for its role in perpetuating the opioid crisis, and several doctors are pointing blame at themselves for their role in spreading opioid addiction.

Smart phones----adults AND kids can't seem to do without them. But do these miniature high tech marvels belong in the classroom? Yes, they can be used at times to aid instruction. But they can also be used for cyber bullying and a host of other distractions that take away from the learning experience. A state law being proposed would either ban or greatly restrict smartphone on campus. So, we will go In Depth.

Boeing is being rocked by more turbulence with the FBI joining the investigation into the troubled 737 Max series of jets. Apart from suspected terrorism, criminal probes of airline accidents are almost never done in this country. What does it all mean?

Months after Arizona Senator John McCain died, President Trump is still bad mouthing him at almost every chance he gets. Why all the anger? When will it stop? We will go In Depth.

And, talking about the President..Mr Trump signed an executive order ordering the protection of free speech on college campuses. The order is apparently inspired by political clashes at several California schools.

And the flowers keep on blooming, and the crowds keep on flocking to Lake Elsinore. With another crush of tourists expected this weekend, we dig into what the community intends to do about the crowds.

Roll the credits and fade to black for one of the oldest and most daring movie studios in Hollywood, as the sale of 21st Century Fox to Disney becomes official today.

Disney ponied up over 71-billion-dollars for most of the studio, which also gives them a 30-percent stake in Hulu, because the future of entertainment content is becoming clear: it's the streaming, stupid.

Because this sale is another nail in the coffin of the old Hollywood studio system, as 21st Century Fox ceases to exist today the content industry becomes further consolidated in fewer big corporate hands. How will all of this effect how you watch movies and TV going into the future? We will go In Depth.

The Democratic Party boasts one of the most diverse field of presidential candidates in modern politics, with plenty of women and minorities making a run for the White House. So then why are three white guys leading the early polling?

There is new hope for the millions of new moms who suffer from the crippling effects of postpartum depression: a new fast acting antidepressant is approved for the market, and relief could soon be on the way.............but at a very steep cost.

And teenagers aren't supposed to be lonely, not with friends and after school activities and sports---so then why are today's teens more isolated than ever?

She was one of his earliest and most enthusiastic boosters: Ann Coulter got behind Donald Trump for the presidency not long after he announced his candidacy. She even predicted that he would win. Coulter has been credited with pushing President Trump to dig in on his hard line immigration policies and of course that border wall.

Well, like a cup of yogurt turned rancid, that relationship has soured....gone south.....jumped the shark...In other words...NOT good. Conservative columnist, commentator and lawyer Ann Coulter is here on In Depth, in our studio, with many unkind things to say about the President, how's he been running his administration and what she sees as his weak chances to get reelected in 2020.

But it's not all criticisms, as Coulter tells us her complicated views on President Trump--we will go In Depth.

In what could be argued was questionable timing, USC announced today it was increasing its tuition to a cool 57-thousand-and-200-dollars-a-year.........not long after the university became the focal point for a college admissions bribery scandal.

Is all of that money worth it for a USC degree?

Congressman Devin Nunes files a huge lawsuit against Twitter for allowing its users to make fun of him.

And the Pentagon spells out........sort of...........what programs it will cut to find the nearly 13-billion-dollars it needs to build President Trump's border wall, with California taking a big hit.

Boeing and the FAA have some explaining to do.

As the crash investigations of two 737 MAX 8 jets show haunting similarities on how the planes went down, there are now serious questions about an overly-cozy relationship between Boeing and the FAA that might have resulted in mistakes and lapses made during the 737's certification process. Did government regulators give up too much oversight control over the MAX planes, and did that result in some deadly flaws? We will go In Depth.

Did your allergies kick into overdrive this weekend? If they did, you are not alone, and we've got bad news for you: the worst is yet to come. Why this might be the worst allergy season in Southern California, EVER.......

Part of the reason allergies will be so intense this Spring: all of our winter rains caused an explosion of wildflowers all over our area, and for Lake Elsinore it meant an overwhelming invasion of flower-seeking tourists.

Tax returns are due in less than a month and before you decide to do your taxes yourself, on one of the many tax software options, you'll want to listen to our upcoming segment on some mistakes those do-it-yourself tools have made.

And President Trump........well he had himself an interesting weekend.....on Twitter.....for the whole world to read.......involving a whole lot of complaining and bitterness.

It's sort of a human trait. We like to imagine there are safe havens. Places where bad things just do not happen. Little gardens of Eden strewn around the globe where terror does not exist...where human suffering is unknown...where the sun always shines. But then something like what happened in New Zealand takes places, and that illusion--and it IS an illusion--is punctured. There are NO safe havens. The proof, 49 people are dead and dozens more seriously wounded after a mass shooting at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. One of those places where such things are not supposed to happen.. So, we will go In Depth.

Also, the shooter, apparently motivated by hate and white nationalism, beamed the attack live on Facebook and other social media platforms...proving, again, there are NO effective controls for these platforms. We will ask some tough questions.

What's wrong with USC? As the university becomes the focal point of the college admissions bribery scandal, this is just the latest controversy that has engulfed the USC campus--from sports scandals to a school gynecologist allegedly assaulting dozens of women.

Remember when eggs were supposed to be good for you? Now it turns out that eating too many eggs are bad for you, according to new research out today---and this is just the latest in contradictory science that is probably leaving your head spinning.
