The Scoot Show with Scoot

On today's show, Mayor Moreno wants to do more to help young girls in New Orleans by offering more activities through NORD. What do you think young girls are missing in New Orleans? The Michigan Attorney General’s Office has opened an official investigation into a malicious, false child abuse tip targeting former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his family. The legal case against former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn regarding alleged vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool hit a major snag following a new court filing by his defense team. President Donald Trump openly mocked CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins during his speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Friday, July 24, 2026. His remarks targeted her appearance and featured a widely criticized joke comparing her to a transgender influencer. The relationship between race and crime is complex and highly debated among criminologists, sociologists, and policymakers. In the United States, official data like arrest records and prison populations show significant racial disparities, meaning certain racial and ethnic groups are disproportionately represented relative to their percentage of the general population. However, experts emphasize that race itself is not a biological or causal driver of criminal behavior. Instead, race correlates strongly with underlying social, economic, and institutional factors that influence both who commits crimes and who is caught.

On today's show, Governor Jeff Landry is taking an increasingly aggressive approach toward New Orleans, saying the city is not as important to the state as it once was and making clear that Baton Rouge intends to play a much bigger role in shaping its future.
