Rachel Frazin Breaks Down Energy Moves, Shipping Shakeups, and L.A.’s Growing Challenges

from Monks & Merrill

Monks and Merrill Hour 1 (03/13) - Rachel Frazin of The Hill joins Monks and Merrill to unpack the White House’s push to ease shipping rules in an effort to lower fuel prices, rising fears of a global food shock, and the decision by the Trump Administration to allow Russian oil sales amid soaring energy costs. The fellas also tackle major local headlines—from near-record February cargo at the Port of Los Angeles and a federal effort to tame fuel prices through shipping changes, to LAPD boosting patrols in Downtown L.A. following a violent street takeover. Plus, new concerns over the city’s finances after the Los Angeles City Controller reports Los Angeles could be $200 million over budget.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
