3 takeaways from my talk with CEO Fabian Calvo - BoomRx: Keep going. Fabian hit $48M in revenue. Not fast. Not easy. But he kept going. Pick partners you like. When things get hard, you get closer, not distant. Take care of yourself first. Meditation. Fitness. Family. The oxygen mask goes on you before anyone else. --- Fabian Calvo is a longevity industry executive and pharmaceutical supply chain strategist who has built, scaled, and led multiple companies across the compounding pharmacy, API sourcing, and clinic fulfillment ecosystem. He currently serves as Interim CEO and Member of the Board at WellSync Rx, a longevity medicine and strategic sourcing company based in Los Angeles. Fabian is also Co-Founder of four interconnected ventures that span the pharmaceutical supply chain: Gatlan (2022) — A longevity medicine platform based in Los Angeles NuCare API (2023) — An active pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing company based in Orange County, California BoomRx (2024) — A pharmacy portal and technology platform for physician practices, based in Tampa, Florida ProRx Pharma (2024) — A 503B outsourcing facility based in Exton, Pennsylvania Together, these companies form an integrated infrastructure for longevity medicine from raw ingredient sourcing to compounding to clinic fulfillment — giving Fabian a rare end-to-end view of the pharmaceutical supply chain. His work extends into regulatory and policy engagement. Fabian has participated in direct discussions with FDA leadership, including meetings with Dr. Martin Makary, on issues ranging from peptide reclassification (the recent Category 2 to Category 1 transition) to the SAPIR initiative — the federal effort to reshore active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing to the United States. At BoomRx, Fabian is helping build what he calls "the only pharmacy portal a physician practice needs" — a technology platform that consolidates multi-pharmacy workflows into one system with flat-rate shipping to all 50 states, live tracking, access to 300+ medications (many with extended Beyond-Use Dates), and best-rate pricing. Outside of his operating roles, Fabian advises elite founders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals on longevity and performance optimization. He publishes Long Live, a weekly newsletter on the intersection of longevity, performance, and what he sees from inside the supply chain. He is based in Los Angeles County, California.

In this episode of Here's The Thing, KevOnStage and ThatChickAngel unpack the internet's most unhinged moments. Kevin puts his foot down on people using AI to insert his deceased brother into photos, glowing him up like Bruce Leroy in loafers. They discuss the even more disturbing AI video of Nolan Wells depicted as Migos rapper Takeoff, and why people need to stop playing with the dead. The conversation shifts to the Crip Mac "Kalani Bear, That's My Baby" TikTok takeover that Kevin cannot stop watching. Then they break down the Caleb Flynn murder trial, where a song the former ‘American Idol’ contestant allegedly wrote for his mistress was played in open court. Next up is the Kirk Franklin and GloRilla gospel collaboration that has the saints up in arms, and why this controversy is the exact same one Kirk has faced for 30 years. The hosts dive into the OutKast vs. Ovrkast trademark lawsuit, where a producer admitted on video to getting confused between the names. Melissa Fredericks gets a shoutout for a full Sunday soul food spread on a Monday. The episode closes with a review of the ‘A Different World’ Netflix reboot, a Life360 check on Kevin's son Joe's late night "Bible studies" across Los Angeles County, and a firm message to leave Jasmine Guy alone. #HeresTheThing #KevOnStage #CripMac #KirkFranklin #GloRilla #OutKast #ADifferentWorld #CalebFlynn Sign up right now with promo code KEVONSTAGE.

Send us Fan MailA foster adoption can change your life and it can also test every ounce of your patience. We sit down with author and longtime educator Lane Igoudin to talk through what adopting from foster care actually looks like when the system's top priority is reunification, even while you are doing the daily work of parenting.Lane shares why he and his husband chose foster care adoption in Los Angeles County instead of private adoption, international adoption, or surrogacy, and how the experience pushed him to write his memoir *If A Family Maybe*. We get into the “concurrent planning” model, the reality of termination of parental rights, and the painful mismatch between what the law promises and what families often live through in court.We also cover practical expectations for prospective foster adoptive parents, including home studies, background checks, required parenting classes, ongoing oversight, and the unpredictable timelines that can turn a six month goal into years. Along the way, Lane raises bigger questions about what makes a family, who gets heard in the process, and why attachment and stability should matter as much as biology.If you are considering adoption from foster care, supporting LGBTQ parents, or trying to understand the foster care legal process beyond the paperwork, this conversation will give you clarity and a lot to think about.

For some kids, the most powerful support is not one more program. It is an adult who keeps showing up. Jorie Das is the Executive Director of Friends of the Children Los Angeles, an organization doing something that immediately got my attention: pairing children who have experienced significant adversity with paid, professional mentors who make a 12-plus-year commitment to them. These are not volunteers dropping in for a semester or a program that disappears when the funding cycle ends. Friends spend intentional time with kids at school, at home, and in the community while helping them navigate goals, transitions, new experiences, and the very ordinary business of growing up. As Jorie says, childhood is not a program cycle. A kid can be doing beautifully at eight and struggling enormously at thirteen. Schools change. Families change. Adolescence happens. The commitment is designed to stay in place through those changes because the child does not have to reach a milestone or behave a particular way to earn the relationship. That becomes especially important when we talk about trauma. Jorie explains that we cannot expect a child who has experienced instability in relationships to immediately trust a new adult just because that adult has excellent intentions. Kids may pull away, shut down, or test whether this person is really staying. The mentor gets to respond through their actions: "You don't have to earn my consistency. I'm still here." Over time, that relationship can create new experiences of safety, predictability, and repair. Mentorship is not a replacement for therapy when a child needs clinical care, but a safe and consistent adult can absolutely be part of the healing environment. What I also love about the Friends model is that the child is not treated as though they exist in a vacuum. The organization supports caregivers, works with schools, connects families with community resources, and supports the mentors themselves. Because if we are asking adults to show up consistently for kids carrying a lot, those adults need people showing up for them too. We also talk about neurodivergence and educational advocacy. Jorie shares that a large percentage of the young people served by Friends LA have IEPs, which has pushed the organization to build more training around ADHD, autism, IEPs, and helping caregivers communicate with schools. Sometimes the parent knows something is not working but does not know the language, the process, or even who they are supposed to talk to. Having someone who knows the child and can help bridge that gap can change the entire conversation. And underneath all of this is something very simple and very human: kids need people who do not give up on them. Not because the relationship will always be easy. In fact, sometimes the most important moment may be after the really hard day, when the adult can say, "I'll see you Tuesday." For a child who has learned that people or support can disappear, knowing somebody is coming back can be a very big deal. Key Takeaways Consistency can be an intervention, especially for children who have experienced trauma or instability in relationships. Children should not have to behave a certain way or reach a milestone to earn a trusted adult's continued presence. Long-term relationships give adults the chance to know the whole child as they grow and change over time. Trauma can make it difficult for children to trust adults, even when those adults have good intentions. Safe, predictable relationships can create new experiences of trust, repair, and connection. Mentorship can support healing, but it does not replace therapy or other clinical care when those services are needed. Supporting children also means supporting caregivers, schools, mentors, and the larger community around them. Neurodivergent children and their caregivers may need additional support navigating IEPs and advocating within school systems. When a child pushes an adult away, curiosity about what they have learned about relationships can be more useful than taking the behavior personally. Sometimes the most powerful message an adult can give a child is simply, "I'm still here." About Jorie Das Jorie Das is the Executive Director of Friends of the Children Los Angeles, where she leads an evidence-based professional mentoring program serving children and families impacted by the child welfare system.

Nick Reiner and Lindsay Clancy are both at the center of high-profile murder cases, and online arguments keep collapsing them into one question about mental illness. The legal records do not make them the same case. A Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Reiner on two murder counts in the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. He pleaded not guilty. The indictment also alleges multiple-murder and lying-in-wait special circumstances, and prosecutors say he personally used a knife. Years before the charges, Reiner spoke publicly about addiction, many treatment stays, homelessness, relapse, and destructive behavior during drug use, including wrecking his parents' guest house. Clancy's Massachusetts trial centered on whether severe mental illness erased criminal responsibility. Her defense argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis when her three children died. Prosecutors disputed that and argued her actions were deliberate. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial September 4 after seven days of deliberations. Jurors who later spoke publicly described an 11-1 division favoring a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict. The internet has turned that legal distinction into a loyalty test. A TikTok creator claimed he ended a $200,000 wedding after his fiancee expressed a different view of the Clancy case, then called her a monster. That story spread because the argument was no longer only about Lindsay Clancy. It became a judgment about the person sitting across from you. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski to separate diagnosis from responsibility and public outrage from evidence. They examine why addiction history does not automatically answer a murder charge and why a psychosis defense does not erase the deaths at the center of a case. They also ask whether comparing defendants can become a shortcut that hides the facts a jury must decide. Reiner returns to court September 15. Clancy's prosecution remains pending after the mistrial. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are 150 food deserts in Los Angeles County, areas where affordable, nutritious food is out of reach. Some frontline efforts to combat the issue have transformed unused spaces like front lawns, schools, and alleyways into sustainable microfarms. There, neighbors are growing their own grains, fruits, and vegetables—feeding friends and family and transforming the cityscape, block by block. In these localized oases, can food build political and social power? Can urban farming protect against crises facing food systems worldwide, such as drought, fire, and inflation? Can gardens reconnect and regenerate community? And why is it more sustainable to grow a squash than a carrot? Urban farming leader Jamiah Hargins of Crop Swap L.A. and Carola Di Poi, head gardener of The Huntington's Ranch and Kitchen Gardens, come together to engage with questions inspired by THIS LAND IS … and discuss food justice, community empowerment, and urban farming in The Huntington's Kitchen Garden. Moderated by Bianca Collins, Director of Public Programs, Zócalo Public Square. This program was co-presented by Zócalo Public Square, The Huntington and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

Elisa Lam's death at the Cecil Hotel remains one of the internet age's most haunting true crime mysteries, even though the case received an official ruling. In January 2013, the twenty-one-year-old Canadian traveler disappeared from the notorious downtown Los Angeles hotel after appearing in the now-famous Cecil Hotel elevator video. Nineteen days after she was last publicly seen, she was found inside a rooftop water tank. This pre-Halloween true crime investigation follows the documented Elisa Lam case while separating evidence from the haunted-hotel folklore that grew around it. We examine the Cecil Hotel's dark history, Elisa's final days at Stay on Main, the LAPD search, the elevator doors that remained open, the rooftop-access question, the open tank hatch, and the Los Angeles County medical examiner's conclusion: accidental drowning, with bipolar disorder listed as a significant contributing condition. The silent elevator footage became one of the defining creepy videos of modern true crime. Viewers searched it for a hidden pursuer, a ghost, an edited-out figure, the Elevator Game, or proof that the Cecil Hotel was cursed. Early reports made the roof sound unreachable and suggested Elisa could not have entered a sealed tank alone. But court filings and the maintenance worker's sworn account reveal a more grounded - and still deeply frightening - story. As Halloween season approaches, Elisa Lam's story continues to circulate through haunted-hotel lists, paranormal theories, real-life horror collections, Netflix documentaries, and true crime podcasts. This episode explores why the official explanation never satisfied the internet, how web sleuths transformed ambiguity into modern folklore, and what is lost when a vulnerable young woman becomes only the figure in a red hoodie. Inside this episode:Elisa Lam's 2013 disappearance from the Cecil Hotel and Stay on MainWhat the viral elevator video actually shows, including the door-hold controlThe rooftop water tank, open hatch, and possible access routesThe medical examiner's accidental-drowning ruling and toxicology evidenceRichard Ramirez, Jack Unterweger, the Black Dahlia claim, and the Cecil Hotel's haunted reputationThe Elevator Game, Dark Water parallels, Netflix, web sleuths, and modern folklore Was the Cecil Hotel case ever an impossible locked-room mystery - or did millions of viewers build a supernatural story from everything the camera could not show? We're telling that story tonight.

A man is struck by a car on the streets of Los Angeles. In the emergency department, a CT scan ordered to look for traumatic injuries reveals something nobody expected: a mass in his colon. Days later, sitting across from Dr. Belinda Waltman, he calls the accident “a blessing in disguise.” Then he changes the subject. He is less worried about cancer than about whether he can afford to miss another day of work. In this season finale of Standard Deviation, host Dr. Oliver Bogler explores what happens when biomedical science collides with the realities of the healthcare safety net. Dr. Waltman, a primary care physician in Los Angeles County, specializes in expedited cancer workups for uninsured and underinsured patients. Every diagnosis arrives carrying another set of questions about housing, transportation, food insecurity, wages, and survival that rarely appear in medical records or scientific literature. For years, Waltman carried those stories without knowing how to bring them into the academic record. As a full-time clinician without a research lab, grant funding, or publication pipeline, she faced barriers familiar to many working scientists and physicians whose most important observations happen outside traditional research settings. With support from the Life Science Editors Foundation's JEDI program, those experiences became The Margins Matter, a narrative medicine essay published in JAMA that argues the social realities surrounding cancer care are not background details. They are part of the disease itself. Bogler traces how editorial mentorship transformed lived clinical experience into published scholarship while asking a larger question about who gets to shape the scientific record. The conversation examines cancer care, Medicaid, health-related social needs, medical publishing, and the structural incentives that determine which stories become evidence and which disappear from view.The result is a conversation about documentation, visibility, and why the margins of medicine often determine who survives long enough to benefit from its advances.RELATED LINKSDr. Belinda Waltman⁠The Margins Matter | JAMA⁠The Margins Matter | PubMed⁠Life Science Editors Foundation⁠FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Nick Reiner's case just became much more serious. A Los Angeles County grand jury indictment now alleges murder by lying in wait in the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. That special circumstance could mean life without parole or a potential death penalty decision. Scott breaks down what prosecutors must prove, what the defense will attack, and why skipping the preliminary hearing matters. Watch to the end and comment: should prosecutors seek death if they can prove it? #NickReiner, #RobReiner, #TrueCrime, #CrimeTalk, #LegalAnalysis, #CaliforniaLaw

He was put on child support at just 12 years old.By the time Lionel “TJ” Tillman learned what had happened, he says he was already $24,000 in debt—despite the court determining that he had not reached puberty when the child was conceived.After fighting the case for more than two decades, proving that the process involved extrinsic fraud, and eventually recovering his money, TJ is no longer focused solely on his personal battle.Now, he is taking the system to Congress.In this powerful episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash, TJ introduces the proposed Bringing Families Back Together and Child Support Equity Act of 2027—a bill created to promote equal parenting, due process, financial fairness, transparency, and healthier relationships between children and both fit and present parents.Ash and TJ examine some of the most controversial questions surrounding family court and child support:Can someone be held financially responsible without being the biological father?Why are some parents learning about child-support orders only after their wages are garnished?Are government incentives helping families—or rewarding separation?And why should a parent who is actively fighting to be present automatically be treated like an absent parent?TJ also makes one thing clear: this is not a “get out of responsibility” movement. He believes parents who refuse to support their children should be held accountable.His fight is for fairness, equal parenting, proper notice, due process, and a system that puts the well-being of children ahead of conflict between adults.This is not about mothers versus fathers.It is about choosing the children.Watch until the end to learn how you can support the petition, help bring the proposed legislation before Congress, and become part of a national movement to strengthen families.Sign the petition: change.org/childrenneedbothChapters00:00 – He was put on child support at 12 years old 01:08 – Message for entrepreneurs, coaches and business owners 02:05 – Protecting the family is a generational investment 03:04 – The Bringing Families Back Together and Child Support Equity Act 03:55 – “Take care of your children—this is not a free pass” 05:21 – Who is Lionel “TJ” Tillman? 05:38 – Put on child support at 12 and $24,000 in debt 06:32 – Could he have biologically fathered the child? 07:15 – Declared the legal father despite the court's findings 08:53 – Why outdated policies need to change 09:34 – Why TJ is taking the system to Congress 10:12 – Education, policy and prevention 11:18 – Does due process apply in family court? 11:51 – Equal parenting should begin at birth 12:53 – Georgia's legitimation process explained 14:11 – The $755 million child-support incentive claim 15:11 – Why TJ is pursuing federal reform 15:45 – Incentivizing families to stay together 17:25 – No parent should have to fight for their children 17:46 – Fathers ask for joint legal and physical custody 18:34 – How public assistance affected the family structure 19:35 – Who determines whether a parent is fit? 21:18 – Why must parents fight for more time with their children? 22:00 – “You want support, but you don't want support” 22:29 – TJ announces The Family Code podcast 22:39 – The hidden trauma families refuse to discuss 24:02 – Why TJ challenges the child-support system 24:17 – The Fourteenth Amendment and parental rights 26:47 – How claims can be presumed valid until challenged 27:43 – Proper notice before enforcement actions 28:17 – Discovering child support through wage garnishment 30:00 – Finding out on payday that half his check was gone 32:10 – Personal service versus substitute service 33:13 – Vindication after a 22-year fight 34:00 – The forged signature and vacant-house service 35:00 – Paying child support for 11 years 37:26 – Filing an insurance claim against Los Angeles County 38:30 – How TJ finally recovered his money 39:20 – Helping parents challenge their cases 40:15 – Why he refuses to assist irresponsible parents 41:41 – Raising his daughter as a single father 43:00 – Why children may need both parents 44:40 – The child-support-to-prison pipeline 46:47 – Are urban communities being disproportionately targeted? 48:14 – Is TJ trying to weaken child-support laws? 48:34 – Child support should apply to absent parents 49:22 – Equal parental rights and the “noncustodial” label 50:00 – Handling difficult co-parenting and parental alienation 51:10 – Support beyond money: emotional and physical presence 52:00 – Parenting education, therapy and conflict resolution 54:00 – What America could look like if the bill passes 56:47 – How viewers can support the proposed legislation 57:17 – TJ's direct appeal to Congress 58:25 – This is not men versus women 58:36 – Putting children ahead of pride and conflict 59:41 – “This is not an attack on women, men or child support” 1:00:04 – How to connect with TJ and the foundation 1:00:32 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

California lawmakers are returning to Sacramento from summer recess on Monday -- and a fight is already brewing over the future of the state's climate fund. Governor Gavin Newsom's administration has changed environmental rules to prevent higher gas prices. And that could lead to less money for affordable housing, transit and other projects to reduce carbon emissions. Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED The executive board of the California Democratic Party threw its support behind Proposition 40, the so-called billionaire's tax on the November ballot. If approved, the measure would impose a 5%, one-time tax on billionaires' assets to pay for healthcare. The CARE court mental health program has seen an increase in participation, according to officials in Los Angeles County. Reporter: Robert Garrova, LAist Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Mondays Down Under, Lee Salisbury and Nick are joined by AIS Water's Lee Moore and Technical Director Blake for a deep dive into commercial saltwater chlorination.AIS Water has worked in salt chlorination for approximately 35 years, developing systems for everything from swim schools and splash parks to resorts, 50-meter competition pools, coastal pools, and enormous lagoons containing millions of liters of water.The conversation explores why more commercial aquatic facilities are moving toward onsite chlorine generation—and why their success depends on selecting actual commercial equipment, correctly sizing the system, and maintaining proper water chemistry.The three major benefits are convenience, safety, and long-term cost savings. Generating chlorine onsite can dramatically reduce the handling, storage, transportation, and manual transfer of liquid or granular chlorine. It can also reduce the risks associated with chemical spills, damaged dosing lines, incorrect chemical mixing, and chlorine gas entering an occupied pool.But not every “commercial salt system” is truly commercial.The guests discuss facilities that attempted to meet massive chlorine demand by plumbing together banks of residential chlorinators—including one installation containing an astonishing 95 residential units. Besides creating a maintenance nightmare, these improvised systems can introduce excessive head loss, restrict circulation, shorten cell life, and still fail to satisfy the pool's chlorine demand.Proper sizing requires far more than knowing the pool's volume. AIS Water considers actual peak bather load, water temperature, turnover rate, sunlight exposure, cyanuric acid use, environmental conditions, operating hours, and the facility's location. Two pools of identical size—even pools located only a suburb apart—may require substantially different chlorine production capacities.And just when you thought pool chlorination could not get any stranger, the discussion turns to horse pools, seal enclosures, sea lions, natural salt contributions from swimmers, and one exceptionally important unanswered question:Just how much chlorine does a sea lion prefer?You will have to return next Monday for the conclusion.In this episode: Why commercial aquatic facilities are adopting onsite chlorine generation  The safety risks associated with storing and manually transporting chlorine  How salt chlorination can reduce long-term operating costs  Why an electrolytic cell is a consumable—not a failed chlorinator  How commercial-grade anodes can provide significantly longer cell life  The difference between residential and commercial chlorination equipment  What happens when dozens of residential chlorinators are installed in one system  How excessive head loss can compromise circulation and turnover  Why peak bather load is critical when sizing a chlorinator  How sunlight, shade, temperature, rainfall, and surrounding buildings affect chlorine demand  Commercial systems ranging from low-salinity water to direct seawater  The unusual challenges of chlorinating pools for horses, seals, and sea lions Guests: Lee Moore, Sales and Marketing, AIS Water  Blake, Technical Director, AIS Water Hosted by Lee Salisbury and Nick on Mondays Down Under, part of the Talking Pools Podcast network.US certifications for AIS Commercial products. Certified to the Highest International Standards – AIS commercial chlorination systems are independently certified to NSF/ANSI 50 for swimming pool equipment safety and performance, UL 1081 for electrical safety, and are approved for installation in Los Angeles County, one of the world's most stringent regulatory environments. These certifications provide independent assurance that AIS products meet rigorous standards for quality, reliability, and safety, giving consultants, operators, and asset owners confidence in specifying AIS for demanding commercial aquatic facilities.

It's Fighting Back With an Army of Immunity LawsMore than a decade after investigations found that Exxon Mobil had known about the dangers of global warming since the 1970s but publicly downplayed the threat, lawsuits against oil companies have proliferated. There are nearly 40 of these cases pending across the countryIn the meantime, the industry has been mobilizing a counterattack against the lawsuits with the help of the Trump administration and Republican politicians.Republicans are trying to pass laws to grant oil majors immunity to these kinds of lawsuits, with success in several states so far.Utah, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have recently signed laws shielding fossil fuel companies from lawsuits related to greenhouse gas emissionsOil executives have also gotten help from the federal government, following an executive order from President Donald Trump last year directing the attorney general to prioritize blocking climate lawsuits by states.This May, the Justice Department responded to Minnesota's climate lawsuit against Big Oil with a lawsuit of its own, just as the state's case was moving into the discovery phase. It said Minnesota was undermining “American energy dominance” and attempting to regulate greenhouse gases, which should fall under the purview of federal law—echoing the oil industry's well-known argument.Elon Musk Is Quietly Turning to This Fossil Fuel to Power His AI AmbitionsSam Altman Announces That the Singularity Has Arrived: a hypothetical future point in time when technological growth becomes autonomous, uncontrollable, and irreversible, fundamentally transforming human civilization“We are now, like, in the singularity ...

A gun shop in Fallbrook got an email offering them money to give away lockboxes to active duty military. Their first reaction was the same one you are having right now: this smells like a Moms Demand Action front. So Jason Martin and his crew did the sensible thing. They dug into it before saying yes. What they found is a suicide prevention program called Pause to Protect, run through the University of Colorado and funded by the Department of War. A Marine walks in, shows an active duty ID, and walks out with a lockbox. No application, no paperwork, no personal information collected, nothing that looks like a registry. Jason sat on a panel of shop owners from around the country who all came in skeptical and came out of it the same way he did. Michael takes the whole thing apart on air, piece by piece, and lands where a lot of you will land: a free safe for a Marine is just a good deal. The part almost nobody talks about is in there too. Service members living in the barracks still have nowhere legal to keep a firearm, because no base in Navy Region Southwest has actually built a plan around the order allowing troops to carry on base. The rest of the show is stacked. Hawaii answered the Wolford decision by handing out free "no guns" signs to businesses, so the crew walks through what one of those signs actually does and does not do to you legally, in Hawaii and in California. AR-15s are back on Virginia shelves after the injunction. Michael has the update on Renna, the roster case he is a named plaintiff in, including the newly added AB 1127 Glock claim and the motion for summary judgment, plus why the Miller case still matters even after the Supreme Court takes up two assault weapons bans. Sam gets stumped (sort of) by a machine gun that only fires one round per trigger pull. Michael makes the case that protests do not work and lays out what does: elections, lawsuits, and culture. And Alisha closes with the story out of Cerritos, where a concealed carry holder stopped a man with a knife in the middle of a Sunday lunch rush in Los Angeles County.
