On today's show, The future of THC drinks and edibles remains in limbo. A federal law passed last year doesn't outright ban them, but it sets such strict THC limits that most of the products you see in stores today would effectively become illegal later this year. Lawmakers and the industry have been trying to find a compromise, and a new bill is being circulated that could bring the drama to an end. Joe Gerrity, CEO of Crescent Canna, joins Scoot to talk about it. Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio used the F-bomb against Dr. Anthony Fauci during a highly contentious Senate committee hearing. A new law goes into effect this Saturday banning the release of helium balloons in memory of someone who has died. Supporters say it protects wildlife, waterways, and the environment. Critics may see it as the government stepping into a personal moment of grief. Do you agree with the new law?

The legal case against former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn regarding alleged vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool hit a major snag following a new court filing by his defense team.

His remarks targeted her appearance and featured a widely criticized joke comparing her to a transgender influencer. The relationship between race and crime is complex and highly debated among criminologists, sociologists, and policymakers. In the United States, official data like arrest records and prison populations show significant racial disparities, meaning certain racial and ethnic groups are disproportionately represented relative to their percentage of the general population. However, experts emphasize that race itself is not a biological or causal driver of criminal behavior. Instead, race correlates strongly with underlying social, economic, and institutional factors that influence both who commits crimes and who is caught.
