A busy news weekend, capped by George Stephanopolis' ABC News interview with President Trump.We learned the President hopes Kim Jong Un isn't working on nuclear weapons and thinks he's not because he promised he wouldn't and."He really likes me." Also discussed today was Iran says it will exceed the Obama agreement since the US has backed out, developments in Hong Kong, Trump said he didn't campaign for GOP congressional candidates in the mid-term elections (he did,) and one area I agree with the President: I believe asking "Are you a US citizen" is a legitimate question to ask in the census. The main purpose of the census is to gain information and politics should not enter into it.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30 am, 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm on KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Talk radio is bursting with all the charges and countercharges leading up to the 2020 election. KGO's Political Analyst Gary Dietrich joined us in the studio to discuss some of them. We discussed whether polls mean anything with an election less than a year and a half away, President Trump's declaration (during an interview with George Stephenopolis) that even today he would accept any offer from a foreign nation, and Vladimir Putin's statement yesterday that US/Russian relations were at a low point.

Lots of issues to discuss today. We talked about President Trump and Vice President Biden both being in arguably the most important primary state (Iowa), California becoming the first state to extend health benefits to some who live in the USA illegally, KD and the Warriors, and Alabama's Governor Ivey signing a bill that requires people convicted of sex offenses involving children under age 13 to take a testosterone-suppressing drug.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

I gave my take on some news issues people are talking about. These included President Trump's reversal on the tariff on Mexico he was ready to impose on all their goods entering the US. He proudly said he had made Mexico concede some points (The New York Times, however, claimed the agreement had been reached two months ago.) But is bullying to get what you want from other countries a good tactic?China is a more difficult situation. Hopefully some progress will be made at the G-20 summit.One other thing: GO DUBS!You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or just click //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Today we talked about addiction. Not drugs or alcohol, but addiction to our smartphones.Our guest Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, a nonprofit children's advocacy and media ratings organization, joined us to interpret their latest report. Among some of\ their findings we discussed the worries of parents who feel their kids are at the point where concern is justified and the problem with teenagers (and their parents) having rheir phone by their side when they sleep.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or by going to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Robert Mueller, Special Consul in the Russia vote-tampering investigation, says anything and everything he has to say is in the report. He would have nothing to add were he to testify in front of Congress.Our guest today, E.J. Dionne, Washington Post syndicated columnist, strongly disagrees. He says the American people have a right to know why there was ambiguous language throughout the report and also wants to understand why Mueller didn't immediately call call out Attorney General Barrwhen the A.G. misrepresented his conclusions .You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

14 of the 24 candidates running for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020 were in the Bay Area this weekend for the California state convention, so I talked with Politico California senior writer Carla Marinucci for her analysis. She said Elizabeth Warren did very well both in content and ability to get large turnout for her appearance. Doing worse than expected was Bernie Sanders who spoke to the group in a room with many empty seats.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 orgo to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens

Summer Books are plentiful. But which ones should you read? "Book Passages'  Elaine Petrocelli gave us quick insights into four of her fiction favorites: "The Red Daughter," "The Parade," "Run Away," and "Island of Sea Women." You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm or go to www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/ for this and many previous segments.

Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale School of Medicine Bandy Lee joined us to talk about her new book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts assess a President." She pointed out this can be discerned without politics, by looking at the signs already observed in President Trump: grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or by clicking //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens
