    In Boston, Minneapolis and Los Angeles, the Obama Administration has launched a program to monitor the radicalization of young Muslims and prevent recruitment to ISIS and other terrorist groups. Does that constitute domestic spying? Has law enforcement earned the cooperation of Muslim organizations?

    Also, Austin Beutner is now publisher of the San Diego Union-Tribune as well as the LA Times. We ask him what a regional approach means for news and the business of news. And how come he's the one to interview Governor Brown?

    Special thanks to Sarah Sweeney for production assistance.
