The Scoot Show with Scoot

Philadelphia is trying to fight back against betting markets, and so we dive into what they are, who they're benefitting and why the government thinks they're valuable. Plus, Gloria Steinem is dead, and we discuss her legacy. Plus, a mass shooting in Minneapolis has people wondering why the shooter wasn't arrested previously.

On today's show, Scoot continues the conversation about the death of the 17-year-old falling down stairs to his death inside the long-abandoned Plaza Tower. Threats to freedom of the press should never be taken lightly, especially when they come from the president or the federal government. If media outlets are being pressured over negative coverage of the president, shouldn't every American be concerned, even if they do not like the media? Should the government have more power to punish media companies it believes are unfair? Former Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo is taking responsibility after drinking and driving, and says pain from his football career eventually led to an over-reliance on alcohol. Have you ever had to admit you had a problem with alcohol? What finally made you take responsibility, how did you get help, and how do you feel now? Then, Larry Rolling from Kelly Kicking Cancer joins Scoot to talk about their upcoming "Who's Got Talent Gala" and the work they do raising money for brain cancer research and scholarships. Finally, Lauren Haydel from Fleurty Girl joins Scoot to talk about the “Legendolly” T-shirt fundraiser for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and how a local New Orleans shirt is helping put free books into the hands of kids who need them.

Is that reasonable, or would it put too much pressure on the krewes that already spend big money to keep Mardi Gras rolling? If you ride or belong to a krewe, do you understand the need for the city to recover some costs, or do you think this would hurt the tradition?  A 17-year-old is dead after falling down stairs inside the long-abandoned Plaza Tower, a building that has become a destination for urban explorers. His family says the building was not secure enough to keep teenagers out. So where is the responsibility here? Do people bear responsibility for entering a dangerous abandoned building, or do owners and the city have an obligation to make sure a place like that is truly secured? 

Today's battle for President Donald Trump is between him and Chicago so we dive into that. And we discuss a government projection for the future of jobs, the retirement of Tim Cook and future of Apple and whether a summer staple -- fair food -- has gotten too expensive.
