Last night, President Trump had his first rally since the Mueller Report allegedly cleared him of any collusion with Russia. He accepted the result with humility, saying of his opponents "I have a better education than them. I'm smarter than them. I went to the best schools; they didn't. Much more beautiful house, much more beautiful apartment. Much more beautiful everything. And I'm President and they're not."We talked with David Drucker, Senior Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner, about whether this kind of rhetoric will help or hurt him in the 2020 election.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm of KGO810 or go to www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/ for this and many previous reports

There was an interesting angle on the end of the Special Counsel's almost two year investigation and William Barr's summary that involved its impact on cable news, especially MSNBC. The network which prides itself on a progressive point of view and that has clearly and consistently been anti-Trump lost 500,000 viewers compared to last week. We talked about this with Lloyd Grove of the Daily Beast who pointed out they didn't necessarily go to CNN or Fox but just didn't watch TV because it seemed like MSNBC had given them false hope, You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on  KGO810 or google //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

Audrey Cooper, Editor-in-Chief of the San Francisco Chronicle joined us to discuss the two issues (probably not of equal importance) people have been talking about this week: Scrapping Obamacare and Jussie Smollett. Audrey felt the Smollett coverage was absurd, given the problems facing us today in the city, the nation and the world. I pointed out that the oddities of the case fascinate people and the schadenfreude people feel about Jussie propels the story. On dumping Obamacare, Audrey said it'll never happen and we both agreed Nancy Pelosi has done a superb job pushing against Trump's healthcare ideas  both during the campaign and after. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or just go to //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

A head-scratcher of a story was discussed on today's report as we talked with our Hollywood Correspondent Jim Roope about Chicago prosecutors suddenly and totally unexpectedly dropping all 16 counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about a hate crime against Jusse Smollett. We talked about why, if he was innocent, would he forfeit the $10,000 bail he posted after his arrest? You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm and 7:30pm on KGO810 or catch this and many more reports by going to  //www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/

With President Trump found to be correct in his insistence there was no collusion with Russia in their attempts to influence the 2016 Presidential election, we turned to CNN Senior Political Analyst John Avlon for his take on the four page summary given to the media by Attorney General Bill Barr. He pointed out the number of people with Administration credentials who have been indicted and some already pleading guilty to various acts during his watch and also reminded us there are still issues involved in the Southern District of New York investigation. 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/

The rumors keep getting louder and louder: Will today be the day the Mueller Report is released to the Attorney General Bill Barr and hopefully then to the American people? We talked with Washington Post syndicated columnist E.J Dionne about what it might contain. E.J. reminds us a full report is actually optional; nothing in the law says the Special Counsel need to come up with one. You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO or click www.kgoradio/ronnowens/

Is there anyone anywhere who thinks President Trump's continued verbal attacks on the late Senator John McCain are justified? I sure don't and to ask the question to someone inside the beltway, Chris Matthews, MSNBC Host of "Hardball" joined us. Chris, however, is asking the same query. And neither of us can figure out why Trump is doing this. He's alienating veterans and many Republicans, while coming off like a social misfit. Chris expounds on this on today's Ronn Owens Report. 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/

We talked with ABC Aviation Analyst John Nance about the continued discussion of the crash and subsequent concerns with Boeing's new 737 Max. He said there's nothing wrong with the aircraft, that the problem was a lack of basic training. John said he'd absolutely fly on one today, but only if it had an American or Canadian pilot.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/

Today's commentary centered around Operation Varsity Blue,a/k/a the college admissions scandal. We talked about the 7 agents with guns who got America's Most Wanted criminal  :-) Felicity Huffman around 6am; about the parents and students and colleges involved; and of course what makes this scandal important,.the fact that for every student who got into a prestige school this way, there's a well qualified person who didn't. 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/

Ronn discussed the disconnect between President Trump and almost everyone else. While most of us were trying to absorb the shock and horror of fifty people killed in a terrorist attack on two mosques in New Zealand, he was tweeting his disgust with the late John McCain, his anger with Fox News for suspending one of his two most pro-Trump hosts on the network, and his belief that Saturday Night Live should be investigated for their unfavorable portrayal of him.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or just go to http://www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens
