Monks and Merrill discuss the concerns surrounding labor and sex trafficking tied to major international sporting events, including preparations for the upcoming FIFA competitions, and discuss what SoFi Stadium and local organizers are doing to raise awareness and help prevent exploitation. Next, we speak with an Orange County high school student leading a growing movement to remove cell phones from classrooms, explaining why he believes schools should create phone-free learning environments. In the second half of the program, we explore both sides of the debate over herbicide use around local waterways.
