It was Historical Events/ going to cost a quarter of a million bucks to replace the letters so Hefner 9:21 1:20 History Segments Arts And Culture decided to try and help.

TAKE TWO - Clinics: The fight over the effort to repeal Obamacare has obscured another piece of health care business that Congress needs to take care of. Lawmakers have a Saturday deadline to renew a program that provides federal funds to community clinics. In California, 600 million dollars are at risk.

Rick 9:45 4:25 Homosexuality Education Zbur is one of those people, and he's executive director of Equality California.

TAKE TWO - LA Raza: It's one thing to read stories about the Chicano Rights movement, or maybe to hear your parents or grandparents talk about those days, 50 years ago.

A Martinez speaks with Daniel Miller of 9:22 7:00 Arts And Culture Business the LA Times.

TAKE TWO - Viet Lang Feature: Right next to Anaheim is Garden Grove. And it has something pretty unique. One of the few school programs in the country that teach classes in English and Vietnamese. Called dual language immersion, children spend half the day learning in English and the other half learning in Youth/Children's another language.

From Jonathan Kane (Facebook): "I'm fighting for truth, justice and the very soul of my country. Ok, maybe that's too much, but I am waging a small war against the powers of anti-intellectualism and the very notion of Fake News by donating my birthday to quality journalism here in Southern California. Sorry, no tote bags." https://www.facebook.com/donate/1356506154466138 Voicemail: Hello you know you guys used to be such a great non partisened or biased station but lately all we hear is the biased against trump against all the issues. Nothing positive to say . . . . You used to be a great station where you get just the facts without your slant or your prejudice. For that I have to say I don't appreciate it and don't dig it any more.

Voicemail: Hi I wanted to ask why NPR is not discussing the bill coming up for the house regarding the share act, HR3668 invlolving the relaxation of the concelement of weapons, using silencers, and armored piercing bullets. I'm on your website now and I can't figure out how to ask that on your website.

Voice mail: You know I listen to your broadcast everyday at lunch time and today as I drive around I'm having issues hearing it which normally doesn’t happen so just wanted to let you know. Thank you.

Voicemail: Hi there . . . I live in Orange county Califorina and I thought I'd just mention a news worthy item in my community is the john wayne airport and the flight pattern change that was made earlier this year, which has a lot of residents really really mad. And I guess the city of newport is planning to sue the FAAA with regards to the change because it's really really affecting the community. And just in general I think that we need some coverage about the noise and air pollution coming from the airports, particularly in LA, because it's really a problem and it doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Email: While I understand the need to hear from survivors of the Las Vegas mass shooting, I'd rather hear an hour dedicated to how our reps in Washington and individual states are responding to this tragedy-are they willing to stand up to the NRA and introduce gun control legislation that will help prevent more of these episodes. I am sick and tired of the republicans' and gun owner excuses: "e.g. Guns don't shoot people; people shoot people" "if someone had had a gun, they could have stopped the killer". All of that is b.s. How many more lives have to be lost before our reps will do what the majority of Americans want them to do. I'd love it if larry and your other reporters would devote a day to talking individually with our elected officials and try to get them to agree to introduce restrictions. The Las Vegas shooter had purchased about 33 firearms, most of them rifles, in the past year and there was no method by which he would be flagged

Email: Just wanted to say how much I enjoy and appreciate Alex Cohen's broadcasts. Her interviews are really thorough, in-depth, eye-opening, and well done. I like the smoothness of her voice, as well. Congrats on, and thank you for, your wonderful programming.

Email:Hello, I would like to know why KPCC has not covered the story of Samuel Chang, a graduate student being choked to death and revived by off-duty LAFD workers for handing out Halloween candy in his relative's neighborhood?

I think stories like this are relevant to the interest of people who live in the area. I myself, would like to understand why the LAFD workers were allowed to plead no contest to a misdemeanor, and why the DA Jackie Lacey provided that option in the case, and refused to allow the video-taped footage of the incident be allowed as evidence in the trial. (July 2017)

The entire case seems like there is something else going on, maybe some type of corruption and it would make me very happy to see a news source like KPCC give it the attention it deserves.

I have searched throughout and found various articles from other news sources, but KPCC has not given any attention to this. Otherwise, I would like to understand why KPCC has refused to cover this controversial issue so that I don't feel like the news being presented is some type of propaganda with hand-picked stories from corrupt officials (Not to sound dramatic, that's just the impression I'm getting).

Thanks and looking forward to a response, or better yet, a story!

Benjamin W. Email: Hi, my name is Will and I'm 12 years old. Now that that is established may I just say I am beyond grateful for the radio station and the information you provide me with. Also, I don't want to be one of those people who point out the littlest of even the slightest bit possibly controversial comments, but one comment stated at about 8:45 am on July 17, 2017, kinda stuck with me and I'd like to point it out. While talking about the OC fair, something was said about a food being sold called the "unicorn leg". Then the broadcaster went on to say that since unicorns don't exist, it is actually a pig leg. Now let's focus on the part that says that unicorns don't exist, shall we? First of all YES UNICORNS EXIST. And second are you aware that there are children in the room or car? See, we little children believe in the impossible. We believe in unicorns, and to shatter our hope? That is the job of parents and classmates! You are not to tell us that Santa doesn't exist or that unicorns are fake. If you have seen any, ANY of the Despicable Me movies you would know that WE THE CHILDREN, are like Agnes: deep down we are all unicorns at heart. And though this may pass through as spam, scam, or just ridiculous, I want you to remember this. Whoever you are. Thank you for your time. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Email: I have a suggestion for you. I have often become irritated by hearing the same local story 5 or 6 times a day; during Morning Edition, during Take Two, during All Things Considered, etc. I listen all day long, and when one of your reporters produces a story that gets aired (for instance, today's story on the illegal immigrant who is worried about going to the immigration office), you will hear that story several times during the day. So, my suggestion is that you actually produce a local news show once a week that showcases all of these stories (maybe even run it twice as you do Prairie Home Companion). Run your local show back to back with the California Report and have a terrific weekly local news hour. I'd tune in to that!
