Earthquake in Mexico Sends Aftershocks through Southland A series of aftershocks hit Southern California and northern Mexico today in the wake of Sunday's 7.2 magnitude earthquake that shook the area, causing widespread damage and at least two deaths and dozens of injuries. The strong quake, with its epicenter in Mexico's Baja Peninsula about 115 miles southeast of San Diego, could be felt as far away as Los Angeles and Las Vegas. As many as 20 million people may have felt the quake. Morgan Page is a geophysicist with the US Geological Service.

Later on today’s show, now that he’s into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.

The Trump agenda: where's the beef? President Trump says big things are happening. After celebrating a House bill on health care, he doesn’t yet have Senate agreement. With James Comey’s public testimony scheduled tomorrow, the President today tweeted his selection of a new FBI Director. Is the Chief Executive all style and no substance? Later, terror attacks in Iran and conflicting claims about who’s behind them.

Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder Just days before an election, Britain is coping with a rash of deadly terrorism, and Prime Minister Theresa May is on the defensive. And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
