Mayor Villaraigosa says he knew but didn't tell. The rest of Los Angeles has been trying to figure out what it means: the sudden offer for sale of the Anschutz Entertainment Group at the very moment it seemed to have worked out a deal to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles. Will a new stadium now cost more public money? Will there be a team to play there? Will AEG's president and CEO Tim Leiweke be fired? We hear what Leiweke told City Council members today and how they responded. Also, last night's Emmy sweep for Showtime's Homeland reveals connections between Hollywood and Tel Aviv. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, developing the last frontier without destroying it.

That's what AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke told the City Council's Ad Hoc Stadium Committee today. He said owner Phil Anshutz, the Denver billionaire, started thinking about it after the Kings won the Stanley Cup.
