AirTalk

Supermarket wars, diesel retrofitting to electric vehicles, LA hate crime reporting and more

Today on AirTalk, the grocery chain Albertsons is suing Kroger after judges halted their merger because they believe it would lessen the competition in the CA grocery market and could potentially violate consumer-protection laws. California's push to electrify the pollutive trucking industry has companies replacing old diesel trucks with shiny new electric ones. However, a company headquartered in Rancho Dominguez is taking another route by retrofitting those old diesel trucks to turn them into electric ones. The first episode of the highly-anticipated podcast Nobody Knows Anything is out. We have the host, and creator of The Black List, Franklin Leonard in the studio to tell us all about it. LA County officials are holding a press conference this morning to address a surge in hate crime. Call in and tell us if you have noticed this rise in hate-motivated crime in your area.
