What The Hal?

For the past 25 years, Kenny Morse has been the only radio/TV/internet talk show host who has tackled the issues relating to being behind the wheels as a driver in Los Angeles traffic.

We asked him to join us to talk about how much traffic has changed here in Los Angeles over the decades, from the early streetcars to the daily congestion we see on the roads every day.

Over the years there have been so many cases of gangs or groups of people going into store and grabbing hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise. And, during the holidays thefts always increase. LA is the #1 city in the US for organized retail theft according to the National Retail Federation.

So, the question is how to deal with it?

Recently, Governor Brown signed into law the new Organized Retail Theft crime law. And, Los Angeles and the LAPD have just announced a new partnership with ALTO U.S. to battle this trending crime. 

On this week's show we talk with officials from ALTO US and the LAPD. Karl Langhorst heads up ALTO U.S., Joe LaRocca is a Loss Prevention/Retail Theft Specialist and joining them is LAPD Commander Blake Chow.

People used to get their dogs and cats at a pet shop. It wasn't looked upon nicely when you had a rescue, but nowadays that mentality has flipped -- having a rescue is like a badge of honor!

How are our county agencies dealing with such things as zero kill, anti-puppy mill and other public policies?

Joining us is John Welsch from Riverside County Animal Services, Mike Kaviani from Orange County Animal Care, and Dr. Rachelle Saelor from LA County Animal Control.

There’s a book about a case I did some reporting on way back in 1989. The author, Robert Rand, has spent decades looking into this case, and he’s even talked to Lyle and Erik, and he has a lot to say about the Menendez murders.

The Menendez saga has captivated the American public since 1989. The killing of José and Kitty Menendez on a quiet Sunday evening in Beverly Hills didn’t make the cover of People magazine until the arrest of their sons seven months later, and the case developed an intense cult following. When the first Menendez trial began in July 1993, the public was convinced that Lyle and Erik were a pair of greedy rich kids who had killed loving, devoted parents.

But the real story remained buried beneath years of dark secrets, until now.

“The Menendez Murders: The Shocking Untold Story of the Menendez Family and the Killings that Stunned the Nation”. is available everywhere, and you can find it on Amazon here:
