  • TomThomas

    I haven’t heard from Tom Fudge in many years. He was good.

    It is sad that every story has someone sucking up to the Pro-Trump extremists.

  • A vital source of local news, but why do the sound levels vary so much?

    This is a really valuable source of local San Diego news, and I would miss it a lot if it went away. There is one thing about it that I find frustrating, though: why are the sound levels so different between different parts? Often the interviewer in studio is more much quieter than the phone/skype interviewee. Field pieces are much quieter than host segments. Ads are much louder than everything else. I can't just set the volume and walk away without three minutes later either being unable to h... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Testosterone and its impact on men's health
Q: What are the side effects or risks associated with testosterone therapy?
Therapy can impair fertility by suppressing the body's natural production, may affect blood counts, mood, skin, and in some cases liver or kidney function if not monitored properly; monitoring by a knowledgeable clinician is essential.
Testosterone and its impact on men's health
Q: How does testosterone play a role in men's health more broadly beyond fertility?
Testosterone supports muscle mass, metabolism, bone density, and may influence cardiovascular risk; symptoms of low testosterone often include low energy, foggy mornings, and reduced libido.
Testosterone and its impact on men's health
Q: Is there a definite trend here, and what can you tell us about this supposed decline in male fertility?
There are multiple studies showing declines in both sperm counts and testosterone, but it varies by country and testing methods; in the United States, the data may reflect testing among men already seeking fertility evaluation.
CoreCivic sells Otay Mesa Detention Center to government
Q: But bringing it back to this $1.5 billion deal, can we anticipate more sales like this in the future?
CoreCivic indicated it is in negotiations to sell additional properties to ICE, though specifics aren't disclosed; the pattern suggests ongoing exploration of similar arrangements, particularly in the Western region.
CoreCivic sells Otay Mesa Detention Center to government
Q: Tell me more about this company we keep mentioning, CoreCivic. What is their role in the immigration picture today for those who don't know?
CoreCivic is one of the two major private detention operators, providing about a quarter of ICE's detention beds nationwide and running most private detention facilities in California, now selling the properties but still maintaining management under current contracts.
